Chapter 107: Traveling Through Ancient Times as a Matchmaker (1)
"I actually crossed over to become a matchmaker? Make no mistake, is this a grudge against my mother and womb being single and single? Xiaobai? Xiao Mo knew that Xiao Bai couldn't answer himself, and muttered to himself in shock.
Thinking of the image of the matchmaker in the TV series, Xiao Mo didn't care about anything else, and quickly found the candle with his memory, and finally lit the fire.
Taking advantage of the firelight, as well as the bronze mirror that could not illuminate the figure clearly because of the light problem, Xiao Mo touched the corners of his mouth and put his mind at ease.
"Hehe, fortunately, there is no legendary 'matchmaker mole', otherwise I wouldn't dare to look in the mirror in the future! If you are a matchmaker, you can be a matchmaker and experience different professions. Xiao Mo optimistically accepted the reality.
The reality is that you can't change it, you have to change yourself and make the best decision for yourself.
Therefore, there is no need to complain, there is no need to be dissatisfied, and if you really work hard, the sky will not be blind.
You may not reap the material rewards, but after the effort, your inner being, your spirit, has changed.
The matchmaker is one of the "three aunts and six women" in the ancient society of our country.
Ming Tao Zongyi's "Dropout Record: Three Aunts and Six Women": The three aunts, Taoist aunts, nuns, and hexagram aunts.
Daogu is a woman in the Taoist temple, and a nun refers to a woman in the temple, a hexagram, a woman who specializes in divination and fortune-telling.
The six women are tooth woman, matchmaker, teacher, pious woman, medicine woman, and stable woman.
Ya Po is a woman who profited from the introduction of human trafficking in China in the old days. matchmakers, women who specialize in matching both sides of the relationship between men and women; Shi Po, also known as a witch, is a woman who uses witchcraft such as pretending to be a god and drawing charms and chanting spells as a source of livelihood; Qian Po refers to the woman who opened the Qin Mansion Chu Courtyard and the media sex trade; Yao Po: "Yao Po" is the abbreviation of Gu Yao Po, who uses drugs to treat people or harm others; Wen Po: It is a person who was used by the people in the old days to deliver babies for mothers.
Although these professions were not so "tall" in ancient times, they belonged to the industry that did not enter the stream, but existence is reasonable, and people's lives are really inseparable from some of these professions!
For example, the important profession of stable mother, from ancient times to the present, which newborn born does not need this to lead people to the world? Until now, the obstetrics department of major hospitals is also one of the busiest and most expensive departments.
Another example is matchmaking, a thousand miles of marriage. This profession has been prosperous since ancient times, and there are professional and part-time jobs.
When you reach marriageable age one day, or if you don't go to school anymore, you will find your seven aunts and eight aunts, neighbors' aunts, and village elders; Colleagues in the company, classmates in school, roommates in the dormitory...... You may turn into a "matchmaker" at any time and worry about your life events.
Besides, which older man and woman who is not in free love are in a hurry to get married by their families and don't need a matchmaker to lead the needle......
Xiao Mo recalled that the person he crossed this time was surnamed Zhao, and his name was Yingying. He currently lives in Jiading Fangtai.
It turned out that he was in a town with Wang Chutong Liuniang, which is much more convenient, you must know that the traffic in ancient times was very inconvenient, far away, and I don't know if the two of them can see the two of them to complete the task in the year of the monkey!
Zhao Yingying, listening to the name, it is a good name that is gentle like water, but Xiao Mo looked at her memory and realized that this is also a strange woman with a strong temperament.
It turned out that Zhao Yingying fled with her parents during the famine and came to Fangtai Town, Jiading in the south.
The parents who were short of food were sold to a poor family surnamed Sun as a child bride, and at the age of fifteen, they married the family's son Sun Youcai.
Although Zhao Yingying is sad, she has no resentment towards her parents, and her parents are more willing to live by themselves than starve to death. And being a child bride to someone is much better than being sold into the Goolan Courtyard.
Fortunately, although this family is poor, Sun Youcai's mother, Sun Yang, did not treat Ying Ying harshly, and Sun Youcai can be regarded as motivated. Men and women weave because the family is still harmonious.
The good times didn't last long, but this Sun Youcai was hooked up by a fox friend to go to the gambling house, and he became addicted to gambling and was out of control.
People who are addicted to gambling can deny their relatives, they can turn their faces ruthlessly, and they always think that they will be able to turn over their books next time.
Who knew that not only did he lose all his savings for many years, but also bought the only dowry of Sun Yang's family, and returned the life of the already elderly Sun family to heaven.
I thought that after this change, this Sun Youcai would accept his heart from then on.
Who knew that this Sun Youcai not only did not stop, but even intensified his efforts, selling the jewelry of his newlywed wife Yingying, saying that he wanted to avenge his mother!
Don't you know that his unfilial son is his mother's biggest enemy!
People say that raising children to prevent old age, raising children to prevent old age, this white-eyed wolf who has been raised for many years is simply a debt collector!
When Xiao Mo saw this, he was very angry, and came to a conclusion: raise children carefully, and rely on yourself to support the elderly.
Besides, Ying Ying thought that the hardships were sweet, although the family was not rich, but they also had no worries about food and clothing. I planned to have a child in a year and a half, and the family lived in harmony and warmth, which was also considered happiness.
Flying disasters are even more man-made disasters.
People's hearts are fickle.
Who knew that her husband suddenly became addicted to gambling, and the loving husband and wife were like strangers, and the gambling addiction was written on the four walls, and they even treated each other violently, and Yingying had unspeakable suffering.
Although Yingying suffered domestic violence, she still hopes that her husband can wake up and turn back.
One day.
Sun Youcai, who didn't return home for a few days, went against the norm and returned home with a jar of rice wine and a few pickled vegetables.
is also gentle to Yingying, and there is no trace of the past beyond recognition, fierce and vicious.
Ying Ying cried with joy, thinking that her husband had finally changed his ways, and the family was going to get better. The happy Ying Ying didn't notice Sun Youcai's dodging gaze.
The two husbands and wives took a bite and I took a bite, and finished lunch with affection.
The two of them went to the bedroom to gossip.
"Yingying, I don't know if I should talk about something?" Sun Youcai held Yingying's hand.
"You and I, husband and wife, what should we not talk about?" Ying Ying replied with a smile.
"Yingying, you have to save me! I owe the casino a thousand taels of silver, and they said that if I didn't pay it back, they would throw me into the river and sink to my death......" Sun Youcai cried bitterly, hoping to arouse Yingying's sympathy.
"One thousand taels, it will take us fifty years for our husband and wife to pay it off without eating or drinking! I also have a hairpin that my mother gave me, and I will take it as soon as I can, and we will slowly ......return the rest" Yingying remembered her only remaining dowry, the only thought, and remembered her husband's goodness, and couldn't help but soften.
If you don't have money, you can earn it again, but if you don't have people, you're completely gone!
"Yingying, you still have that hairpin, just keep it. Besides, your hairpin isn't worth a tael of silver. Sun Youcai said.
"Sun Lang, what should we do then? Can't let them sink you into the river! Ying Ying couldn't help but be happy when she thought that Sun Youcai was still thinking about herself and letting herself keep the dowry, but she was still worried about the high debt......
"Yingying, do you really want to help me?" Sun Youcai grabbed Yingying's hand.
"Sun Lang, Ying Ying naturally wants to help you, but she doesn't know what other way to do it. Otherwise, or I'll take a few more embroidery jobs......" Ying Ying racked her brains.
"Yingying, if you really want to save your Langjun and me, you don't have to work so hard, I have a good way." Sun Youcai said proudly.
"Lang Jun, please come ......one by one," Ying Ying asked anxiously.
"I inquired about Liu's mother's Goolan Courtyard, a good-looking girl like you can at least be worth a ......"
