Chapter Ninety-Five: Being a Thief Has a Weak Heart
An Sheng smiled meaningfully: "This cousin's marriage daughter has no more mouths, the main opinion is still to be decided by the cousin and uncle." As for the woman's family, the mother only has to let go of her heart. You think, although my father's official position is not high, but the uncle is Zuo Shaoqing of Dali Temple, who dares to provoke and cheat the marriage?
What kind of conditions are in the bride's house, whether they are beautiful or ugly, several aunts must also weigh the truth and tell the truth, and there can be no deception. Otherwise, if you don't have a good reputation as a matchmaker, you will have to go to court. ”
Several matchmakers who were still talkative looked at each other when they heard this, and they were a little weak-hearted.
It's not easy to be a matchmaker, isn't there a saying, it's called "the bride is hugged to bed, and the matchmaker throws it over the wall", and when the two of them are doing well, they throw the matchmaker behind their heads. It's all the matchmaker's fault, and I'm scolded every day.
Running and breaking legs on both sides, I am not afraid of wearing out my mouth with a smiling face, but what I am even more afraid of is that I really didn't find out the details of the man and woman, or I said that I would hide from the world and the sea, and if something happened in the future, I would indeed have to go to court, and the matchmaker money I collected was not enough to eat in prison.
Therefore, if you want to make black money, you have to weigh it.
Xue Shi laughed dryly: "Look at what you said, it is alarmist, and it scared several of your aunts." ”
An Sheng blinked suspiciously: "How come?" The daughter is just telling the truth. You have forgotten that last year, my father had a colleague, and the daughter of the family said that the matchmaker, and the official media greedily inked the man's money and said that the man was fanciful. As a result, when his daughter got married, the man turned out to be a tuberculosis, coughing day and night, and his breath was uneven.
Then the daughter came back to the door on the third day and cried, and her father's colleagues took people to smash the matchmaker's house, and sent her to prison, where she was locked up with two lepers, and it is still unknown whether she is alive or dead. ”
"All this nonsense, how did I not know about this?" Xue's face sank and reprimanded softly.
"That's what my mother forgot, right? A few aunts went to the east house and the west house, presumably well-informed, I don't know if they have heard of it? ”
An Sheng lied and did not change his face, he said with a nose and eyes, and sneered and stared at the matchmaker closest to him in front of him. The matchmaker laughed dryly, and the heavy fat powder on her face fell down "in a slur", and her face was wrinkled.
The two girls clearly meant something, and those eyes felt like they could penetrate people's hearts, making people dare not look directly, and there was boundless panic in their hearts.
"Perhaps...... I'm old, my aunt doesn't remember well, ah, when the door of the house comes out, I forgot to lock it? I'm going back and come back another day. ”
After speaking, the mother-in-law got up hurriedly and said goodbye to Xue.
She took the lead, and the other mothers-in-law also understood and got up one after another: "I forgot that I made an appointment with the Li family at the east end of the street today to discuss the marriage, and I forgot the time as soon as I spoke." ”
There were many excuses, and after a while, the people in the house were clean.
Xue Shi was so angry that his face turned purple, and he slapped the table and stood up: "Xia Ansheng, did you deliberately make trouble for me?" ”
An Sheng's eyes widened innocently: "Didn't the mother let her daughter come to check it?" You see, these people are clearly thieves with weak hearts, and they are scared with a few words, and the soles of their feet are anointed. Explanation, these family affairs they told their cousin are all boring, and the mother should consider it carefully. Otherwise, if you don't marry well, it's a trivial matter to spend money, and your heart is panicked, isn't it? ”
An Sheng argued with reason, and Xue was speechless by the argument.
An Sheng smiled slightly: "Therefore, if my mother wants to discuss marriage with the three of us, she must keep her eyes open, so as not to be deceived, and when the time comes, she will ruin the sisters' lives, not to mention, and you will have to be complained by your father and grandmother." ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the house with his head held high, without looking back.
Xue Shi was behind her, and scolded angrily: "Don't use them to blackmail me!" ”
An Sheng touched the coral snake in his cuffs, and he was much more relieved.
The next day, the rain still didn't stop, lingering, with the cold of early autumn.
When it was almost dusk on the side of the big house, a word came that the old lady's legs were somewhat uncomfortable because of the cold, so she asked An Sheng to run tomorrow.
An Sheng finally looked forward to the news, and his heart was ecstatic, looking at the sky outside, it was gloomy and gloomy, and there was a thick layer of rain.
She just thought about it for a moment, and immediately went to the uncle's mansion.
When it arrived, the rain became more and more dense, An Shengrao was holding an umbrella, still wet his dress and embroidered shoes, as soon as he walked, the water in the embroidered shoes "chirping", and the socks were slippery.
The old lady's courtyard was quiet, and the people hid under the eaves of the porch to avoid the rain, shrunk their shoulders and whispered, only hearing the sound of "fluttering" rain and the sound of water flowing down from the eaves.
The mother-in-law asked An Sheng to drink tea in the side room, saying that the old lady had something to deal with and would have to wait for a while.
The door of the old lady's room was closed, and even the window was closed.
It was already dusk, and there was already smoke curling on the roofs of many homes, and the surroundings were foggy, and the houses were even darker, which was the most sad time of the day.
An Sheng felt that the room was stuffy, so like many people, he stood under the porch, looking at the gray sky, thinking about his thoughts alone.
There were two little girls standing next to them, who were turning their backs and whispering. They didn't know An Sheng, and when they saw that she was plain, with eyebrows and bangs, and two hanging buns, she was a little childish, thinking that she was a new maid in the courtyard, and she was not too taboo when she spoke.
Therefore, the sound of whispering drifted into Ansheng's ears along with the cool breeze.
"It's so good, the child says it's gone, especially in such a big month, I have suffered a lot, and no one can stand it."
"Aunt Yan is counting on this child to turn the tables and take a firm foothold to support the elderly, but now that she is gone, I am afraid that she wants to die. That's going to have to find a back no matter what. ”
"No, when I heard that the doctor who diagnosed the pulse found musk from the silkworm sand in her pillow, she immediately became anxious, and the girl who was waiting next to her didn't say a word, so she slapped her twice first."
"Anyway, every time something happens, it's those of us who are affected. It is clear that this kind of thing has little to do with the person who serves, who doesn't look forward to the favor of his master, and he will be glorious. ”
"Alas, now the people from Aunt Yan's mother's family have come to the door and asked for an explanation. The old lady had to come forward, but this kind of headless lawsuit, even if Di Gong was alive, was unclear, and in the end it was not to find a scapegoat, and it was not possible to point out which one was unlucky. ”
"You see that when our lady heard the news, she was playing the leaf card, and she didn't blink her eyelids, and she was not in a hurry or annoyed when she lost the card, which shows that she is in the middle of it."
"Don't talk nonsense, be careful that the people in the second aunt's yard hear it and catch the handle."
"I'm just telling you this, this house is tossed for three days, there are many people who are right and wrong, and the trouble comes from the mouth, and outsiders naturally can't talk about it."
"I've heard that Aunt Muxiangyan is suspicious......"
When the two girls saw An Sheng listening with their ears, they lowered their voices more and more, and turned their heads to each other.
Only then did An Sheng understand that something had happened in the house, it should have been Aunt Yan in the second cousin's house who had misconceived, and the mother's family had come to ask for the guilt, and others could not deal with it, so the old lady could only make the decision.
Where there are people, there is right and wrong, and there are many people, it seems that not only is the house lively, but also in the face of a bunch of intriguing warblers and warblers, it is enough for the old lady to be anxious every day.
An Sheng stomped his feet, because the embroidered shoes were wet, his feet were a little cold, and the hem of Luo's skirt was also wet and stuck to his calves, plus the cool breeze blew, and the cold started from his feet, which was a little uncomfortable.
She hesitated a little, feeling that she might not be here today, so she wanted to find the mother-in-law of Shicai to say, go back first, and come back another day.
Before anyone could find it, the door to the room creaked open.
