Chapter 126: Matchmaking
Qin Mingyue said: "Xingyi, what I beg you to do for me is indeed a verbose thing. It's not yet a thing that is complicated. ”
Shen Xingyi became more serious: "What's the matter?" ”
Qin Mingyue was a little embarrassed: "Xingyi, you know." Although our Qin family is the Duke of Liguo, it has been dilapidated for many years, and it has long been out of the upper class of social communication. I don't know which family's girl is good, and which family's son-in-law is good. However, there are already several young ladies and sons of appropriate age who need marriage leave. ”
"You have a wide circle, a wide range of contacts, sharp eyes, and smart people, so I want to entrust you with these important things in our family, what do you think?"
Shen Xingyi was stunned for a moment, she thought it was a major matter, it turned out that she was going to be a matchmaker, and the women of the upper class did not do much about this matter.
Shen Xingyi laughed: "Oh, little aunt, but it scared me to death, I thought it was a big deal, it turned out to be to say kiss to the people of your family, this is easy to do." It looks like summer is coming to an end, and autumn is coming soon. Our family has a chrysanthemum viewing party every year. It's a pity that no one from your family came to the previous lotus viewing party. Otherwise, this thing would have been done long ago. This time, don't delay. ”
"In this way, you wrote out to me the people your family needs to say to me, and told me in detail what conditions they had. I'm thinking about it now, and I'll write you a list as well. When it's time to enjoy the chrysanthemums, everyone comes over, and I'll show you one by one. Make sure to get this done quickly and well. ”
I have to say that Shen Xingyi really has the same temperament as her, in fact, Qin Mingyue also thinks so.
Qin Mingyue hurriedly took out a small piece of paper from his sleeve and said, "Xingyi, I think so too." So, I was ready for a long time. Let me tell you, this is a list of people in our family who are going to marry. First of all, the elders, my two aunts. Ten aunts, eleven aunts, one is eighteen years old, and the other is seventeen years old. Age is a bit older. However, they all look good. ”
"I'm sure you've heard about our family. Back then, my grandmother hated my grandfather's aunts and concubines. After my grandfather left, my grandmother separated. The concubines were separated. The concubines are not adults, they are all bowed by their grandmothers, and they do not teach the rules, and they are a maid to grind. ”
Later, I couldn't see it, so I asked my two aunts of the right age to come over, and together with my two sisters, I invited a female gentleman, and my grandmother taught rules, etiquette, needlework, and poetry. It's only been less than half a year. However, they have made rapid progress. Especially these two aunts, they may have suffered a lot in the past and are also big, so they have to work hard to learn. The rules and character are good. ”
"Because it's the identity of a concubine, you don't have to look for a place of height. It's okay in general, the important thing is not to be angry, don't be tortured, the husband has a good character, and the person is motivated. According to my grandmother's temperament, she would not have given a penny of dowry. You have to sell the concubine in exchange for a dowry. It doesn't matter if it's a concubine. ”
"But I couldn't bear it. I won't ask for a dowry from the man's family. Even if my grandmother swallowed the dowry, I have a way to get it back. In addition, I will prepare a dowry of three thousand taels of silver per person. It's not rich, but it's not bad. I'd like to ask you to think about it a little more. ”
"Hey, after solving these two aunts, in fact, I still have two aunts, one is the twelfth mother, and the other is the thirteenth mother. I'm younger than me, and I'm still holding it in my grandmother's hands. In the future, I'll think about coming over again. ”
Shen Xingyi thought for a moment and said, "I saw your two aunts last time. The appearance is good, the character is also gentle, and the rules are very good. It can be seen that the grandmother you invited is still very good. At the last banquet at your house, there were quite a few ladies in love. Among them, I knew that our two families had a good relationship, and they once asked me to find out. So, these two are easy to solve. ”
"Hey, there are a lot of people like your grandmother who treat girls like this, but there are many in the capital. There's no way to do it, and your grandmother must have hated those aunts back then. ”
"Let's do our part."
"After all, it is the young lady of your Qin family, if you marry someone else, in the future, it will also affect you. Don't worry, I'll look for you. ”
Qin Mingyue smiled: "I knew it was right to entrust it to you." There is also my sister, Qin Mingzhu. It's eighteen years old. I'm a little old, but my looks are excellent, and I'm three points more beautiful than my two aunts. However, her character is not very good, arrogant, I don't know what to say, and she is extremely stupid. When I was a child, relying on the favor of her biological mother, she did not block me and my mother. ”
"Now I'm obedient, and I don't dare to provoke me. Still, I wish I had married her off sooner. Her character is not good, she grew up in front of her biological mother who was born as a singer, and she didn't learn less poisonous water. In order to prevent her from endangering me in the future, I want to find her a family outside the capital, preferably more powerful and able to control her. For this, I am willing to pay a dowry of five thousand taels. It can be regarded as some compensation for the man's family. ”
Shen Xingyi laughed when he heard Gege: "Little Senior Aunt, you are really telling the truth." Do you dare to say such a thing? ”
Qin Mingyue was helpless: "Do you think I'm stupid?" How can you say such a thing to anyone? In front of outsiders, I still defend my sister very much. However, you are not an outsider. ”
Such a sentence made Shen Xingyi's heart warm. This little aunt, counting, has not had a lot of contact. The mother of her own family has told her many times to be closer to Qin Mingyue, and in the future, the Shen family, including her husband's Ma family, will rely on Qin Mingyue.
However, Qin Mingyue didn't have a frame at all. I haven't met a few times, but I have a lot of confidence in Shen Xing, and it's a little incredible to think about it. This may be what people call fate.
Although Shen Xingyi has many elders in the family who love her. However, the family has prosperous men and few girls, and she is the only one in her life. So, I've been looking forward to having a good sister for a long time. However, the Shen family's family is high, and although there are many nobles in the capital, there are really not many who can intersect with Shen Xingyi.
It is rare to meet Qin Mingyue's identity, the future is very good, and there is such a special relationship, and the two of them can talk heart-to-heart. Shen Xing made up his mind and recognized Qin Mingyue as a friend.
