"Yuan Darthead?" The cup in Gu Sifan's hand broke in response, and he calmly took out a navy blue handkerchief to wipe the tea away, and asked people to replace it with a new cup.

Li Weihai looked at the porcelain white teacup very beautifully, with birds painted on it, but it was not used, and it cracked when the boiling water was hot, which was not as durable as the sea bowl at home. "That's right," he thought about Gu Sifan Xie Yuan, who was the most intelligent person in the town and even in the city, and he had a good relationship with his family and was not a talkative person.

So he doesn't hide it anymore, maybe Gu Sifan can help him find a lover for his sister-in-law.

"My sister, you have seen her, she is handsome. It's just that her age is here, and we don't mean that we can't afford to raise her, it's just that there is no man in a girl's family who knows cold and hot, and when our brothers are old, I'm afraid that our children and grandchildren will not be so patient. Staying here and staying to become an enemy, it is better for us to look at a good family for our sister.

I worked with her sister-in-law to find someone who could protect her.

I don't know if the four ancient brothers have also heard of this Yuan darthead? ”

Gu Sifan took a sip of tea, hummed, and asked instead of answering: "What requirements does Brother Ji have for his future brother-in-law, it is better to say it all in one breath." ”

"Hehe, in fact, we don't have any requirements, that person can protect the sister, don't let the wicked covet it, be good to the sister, and have a little ability to support the family. Uh, isn't it a bit of a lot? After saying that, Ji Weihai scratched his head embarrassedly, he felt that his sister was so good, but it was not necessarily in front of others.

They are poor people, and it is not easy to find a family with a new house and spare land. His requirement is almost the standard for choosing a son-in-law for a solid family. "By the way, my sister-in-law can't be angry with her in-laws, sister-in-law and sister-in-law when she marries. She has already suffered too much for our Ji family, and we would rather raise her for the rest of our lives than push her into the fire pit again. ”

"Okay, Brother Ji doesn't ask much, Sister Ji is a good one, she is worth it." Gu Sifan chuckled, "Brother Ji, let's talk first, if the younger brother finds you these conditions, you will agree to marry your sister?" ”

"We agreed, but in the end, we had to nod my sister-in-law," Ji Weihai nodded, remembered what happened just now, and asked unrelentingly: "Fourth Brother Gu, what about Yuan Darthead?" We have been selecting for about ten days before we find a few suitable ones. ”

"Not much," Gu Sifan didn't say anything polite, and directly sneered in a voice that the two of them could hear: "Brother Ji, how many infatuated men are there in the world, and how many are dedicated to their family business?" He didn't marry because he didn't want to be controlled, but I heard from the students more than once that Yuan had close contacts with several young widows in the town. ”

As soon as he heard this, Ji Weihai's complexion turned red, and he drank all the water in the cup fiercely, sighed and said with deep fear: "Fortunately, there are four ancient brothers here, otherwise we can't see and can't find out the true character of that person, if so, if he is really with my sister, then I can only apologize with death." ”

"If Brother Ji trusts me, go back and ask Sister Ji what she wants, and I will find it for you." Gu Sifan shook his head and said with sincerity, "Of course, Brother Ji, don't mention me to Sister Ji, the little girl is thin-skinned, and the little brother is afraid that Sister Ji will be angry and embarrassed, but she will miss the good fate." ”

"Okay, good," Ji Weihai said three good in a row, with Gu Sifan's guarantee, he was confident, where would he be able to sit still, and directly got up and took out the money to pay the bill, "Fourth Brother Gu, I'll go home first, and I'll talk back to you tomorrow!" ”

Saying that, Ji Weihai hurriedly rushed home with an indescribable and agitated emotion, the four ancient brothers have the ability, and the person he introduced must be good. He couldn't help but begin to sketch out the appearance of his future brother-in-law in his mind, he should be a classmate of the four ancient brothers, who is the same age, has real talent and learning, and has enough merit and fame to protect his sister from being bullied, maybe he is still a teacher, one or two silver a month, right?

When he got home, Ji Weihai took Yu Yuan into the house and told him in detail about today's events.

Yu Yuan felt a little weird in his heart, and he couldn't say it, so he could only hold back and delve into the weirdness. She straightened her hair, smoothed out the folds on her clothes, took a deep breath and thought about it for a while, and then went to find Ji Ranjia.

"Xiao Ye, your eldest brother went to the town to bring you and the babies some food, you go and go with your eldest brother, and I will talk to your sister." Dividing Ji Xiaoye, Yu Yuan sat on the edge of the kang with a smile, looked at the handkerchief embroidered in Ji Ranjia's hand, and picked up Ji Xiaoye's.

"Xiao Ye has only studied for about ten days, and he has embroidered like this? Hey, if there were no girls, we would have almost delayed an embroidery girl. Yu Yuan said with a joke.

Ji Ranjia pursed her lips and smiled: "This girl's heart is not low, she wants to study hard and save her dowry by herself." ”

"That's a hard study," Yu Yuan said along the way, she coughed lightly, and asked quite carefully and cautiously: "Sister, sister-in-law really treats you as a sister-in-law, some words may not be heard, don't take it to heart." Your brother is a big old man, I don't know how to talk to you, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and now a sister-in-law will take up this identity and ask my sister if she has any plans in the future?

Of course, your eldest brother and a few younger brothers and I would love to keep you with you all the time. ”

Ji Ranjia was stunned when she heard this, she put down the work in her hand and looked at the half-open window, which was full of greenery outside, and the breeze carried the faint fragrance of flowers and the smell of earth.

A woman's way is nothing more than to get married, staying at home is not a question of whether relatives are willing or not, and the people in the village can talk about it all over the world, and after a long time, they dare to splash any dirty water on a single woman.

She has had a miserable life, but she has not lost hope of living, but she has more hesitation and fear.

"Sister-in-law, I know you love me. If a woman doesn't marry, she will be criticized, and then talk about me," she said with a crimson face and shyness in her eyes, "Besides, I am also an ordinary woman, and I hope to have a trust." ”

"Since my sister-in-law understands that my father-in-law and mother-in-law are not there, do my sister-in-law and your eldest brother mean that you want to hear what you want from your future husband?" Yu Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it was inappropriate for the eldest sister-in-law to stay at home after all.

"Just like my sister-in-law said, he has to be able to protect me, have a good character, and he can only treat me wholeheartedly, and the rest is secondary." Ji Ranjia was not reserved, she thought about it seriously and said that since she was willing to be mediocre and live a serious life, she had to choose a down-to-earth person.

"Well, we've thought of all of this, if you don't have any other requirements, we'll tell the matchmaker and let the family help us find it?" Yu Yuan asked tentatively.

Ji Ranjia's head nodded slightly, "Then it's troublesome for sister-in-law and eldest brother." ”

"Cheng, when you find someone, it depends on your own opinion," After Yu Yuan finished talking, he said a few words to her, and then went back to the house to tell Ji Weihai.

There is nothing else to do at home, the four acres of land that Ji Weihai bought for Ji Ranjia have already been planted by the original owner, and there is no need to serve them deliberately. The couple fell in love with Ji Ranjia's marriage, after all, the sister is twenty years old, not to mention that in the countryside, even in the families of rich and noble people who love their daughters and are reluctant to marry, they can count old girls.

I just talked to Gu Sifan here, and the matchmaker came to the door the next day.

Ji Xiaoye heard the knock on the door and hurriedly opened it, and saw a round-faced lady wearing a black skirt with red silk threads rolling on her head, velvet flowers on her head, and a fan shaking a fan, and a white donkey with her ears swinging leisurely behind her.

She was a little scared, and asked stumblingly: "Auntie, you are wrong, our family is an outsider, and we have no relatives." ”

"Are you Ji Weihai's family? The one at the easternmost end of the village, near the river, can't be wrong," the visitor smiled and shook his fan, his voice gentle and kind, "where is your family?" ”

"Sister-in-law, there is an aunt looking for a big brother!" Ji Xiaoye turned his head and shouted at the house.

Yu Yuan led his youngest son out when he heard the voice, and when he saw the person who came, he immediately understood, sent his youngest son to Ji Xiaoye's side, and greeted him with a smile, "Auntie is here, sit in the house quickly." Xiao Ye led the donkey into the yard for her aunt, and then went to wash her hands and pour a glass of brown sugar water, and after you were done, you went to the house to accompany your sister, so you didn't have to come out to say hello. ”

Xiao Ye sighed in confusion, and after pouring the water, he went to Ji Ranjia's house, leaning on the table and listening with his ears pricked up.

"Who's coming?" Ji Ranjia looked at her probing her brain and asked funny.

"It's an aunt I don't know, but my sister-in-law does. My sister-in-law doesn't usually go out," Ji Xiaoye whispered suspiciously: "That aunt is holding a white donkey, the clothes she is wearing are good, dark and bright, surrounded by red edges, with a pink flower on her head, and a round fan made of cloth in her hand, with birds painted on it, it looks good when she shakes it." Sister, will you do it? She asked with bright eyes, and then her little face collapsed after asking, "I still don't want it, my sister-in-law's belly is too big to do too much work, I'm busy with everything, and I must have soiled the white fan." ”

"I can teach you how to do it," Ji Ranjia said with the corners of her lips: "This embroidery is the same as a scholar's writing, divided into upper, middle and lower, etc., if you do it well, naturally many people will buy it, and you can save the dowry money again." ”

Ji Xiaoye's little face flushed with a slight red, and she stomped her feet in shame, "Sister, you laugh at me!" I'm ignoring you! "

"Oh, the leaves have grown up, and they know how to be ashamed?" Ji Ranjia continued to joke, diluting the anxiety in her heart by the way. As soon as she heard Xiao Ye's words, she understood that it was the matchmaker who came to the door, and it seemed that it was still from the town, otherwise where would she dress so exquisitely.

"Auntie doesn't know what to call it?" Yu Yuan invited the matchmaker to the table and greeted him warmly.

"My surname is Ma, you can call me Aunt Ma," Mrs. Ma took a sip of brown sugar water, and the warm and sweet water entered her stomach, and most of the discomfort of the bump was gone, she sighed.

"Hey, isn't Aunt Ma a famous official media in the town?" Yu Yuan already had some guesses when he saw the white donkey, and when he heard that her surname was Ma, he was even more sure.

The official media is the matchmaker for the daughter of the official family, and the matchmaker Ma is still one of them who has promoted the most newcomers and has the best reputation.
