What's even more unexpected is that since the jade lady wore this jade, she has become more and more beautiful, and her face, which was originally a little rough, has become as smooth and delicate as jade porcelain, and it is more watery, especially the eyes, which have become watery, black and bright, and between the smoke and waves, it seems that there is clear water flowing. How beautiful is it, every time the descendants of the village pass by his door, they stretch their necks and look in, just hoping to catch a glimpse of her, and even that idiot, every day they stand guard outside his house.

As the saying goes, the eighteenth change of the female university, the more beautiful it becomes, the changes of Yu Niang, the family does not care, but there are more and more matchmakers, maybe it is the age, Yu Niang, who was not interested in marrying before, is now on the heart, although Liu Laosan is reluctant, but Yu Niang has reached the age of marriage, and it is impossible to stay.

"Alas, my daughter has grown up and can't keep it!" Liu Laosan chattered every time, there was no joy in his voice, but there was loss.

Liu Laosan has no son, just such a girl, it hurts when she is a child, and she also invited a down-and-out Xiucai to teach Yu Niang for two years, the girl is literate, but she is not as obedient as ordinary women, and if she marries, she must marry someone who is willing to marry, otherwise she would rather not marry, but also look at the other party's appearance and character.

However, men and women do not kiss, emphasizing that "there are no clouds in the sky and no rain, and there is no matchmaker on the earth." The life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker. This matchmaker refers to the matchmaker. Inviting a matchmaker is generally a matter for the man, and if the woman is also interested in marriage, both parties can send people to visit each other. Sometimes, the woman's conditions are dominant, and she can even entrust a matchmaker to introduce her, so that the man can "plug the door upside down", which is called "entering the house".

Liu Laosan means that it is best to find someone to get into the business, anyway, in the end, this business is not all left to you? What's more, his Liu family is also one of the best in the village, and there are those who don't worry about eating or drinking, and those who are unhappy?

With this thought, I found a matchmaker who could speak well, and looked around for the young children of ordinary families to see if they could join his Liu family, but they were lowly households, their status was low, and they had a child with the surname of the woman, everyone looked down on them, and they were not much better than a slave.

Liu Laosan has been in the house for half a year, and it is not that there are no people who are unwilling to get into the house, but they are too old, either in their thirties or in their forties, or they are dead mother-in-law, and the poor in the family can't open the pot.

The father and daughter made a lot of noise for this matter, Yu Niang went on a hunger strike, Liu Laosan couldn't stand it anymore, and asked the flower matchmaker in the village if there was a door nearby.

The flower matchmaker is not specialized in this business, just because her husband was sick a few years ago, the flower matchmaker made a grand wish in the temple, if the Buddha blessed to avoid this difficulty, I must say that the matchmaker accumulates virtue, does good and redeems, and said that this life will be said to be a hundred pairs, so he became a matchmaker. It's strange to say, since she made a big wish, her husband's illness has improved with her success in protecting the media, and it has become dozens of teams over the years, and her old man's illness has also improved.

Marriage, pay attention to age-like matching, and should not be too different. Qingtian pays attention to "the eldest son-in-law knows the pain", so "if you want to eat or a big carp, if you want to find a big son-in-law", if the man and woman are the same age, it is said that it is a good marriage to be separated by 100 days. But Yu Niang has been delaying for so many years, but she is almost nineteen, and the woman will marry in twenty-eight years, and Yu Niang is already an older woman, and it is not easy to find a good match.

What's more, we have to pay attention to the matching of portals. As the saying goes, "officials match officials, employees match staff, and men are recommended by men", and the conditions of both men and women themselves must naturally match, and "talented women" are the most respected. If the gap between the two sides is too large, and the media does not say it in the end, people will ridicule the side with poor conditions as a "strong face". If women are high and men are low, it is said that "the toad wants to eat swan meat"; If the man is tall and the woman is low, it is said that "the quail wants to climb the sycamore branch". Even if the media says it, the party with poor conditions after marriage is often looked down upon, and the son will not have a good life.

The flower matchmaker is a kind-hearted woman, although Yu Niang's requirements are higher, but also put it in her heart, the search for the nearby ten miles and eight villages, looking for it, really found such a family for her, the surname is Gao, the Gao family has been cultivating and reading for generations, poetry and books, there are 200 acres of rice fields, it can be regarded as a big landowner, and the family is also solid, but it is a little far away, separated by two mountains.

Gao Yuanwai's knee has a son, this year's twenty, not to marry him, because he is afraid that he will delay his study, originally thought of taking the fame and then marrying a wife, but I didn't expect that last year's township examination, actually fell off the list, and even a show talent was not admitted, Gao Yuanwai is also helpless, the son is so old, it is better to marry a relative first and then talk about fame.

The Gao family has such a family background, the eye sockets are naturally high, the matchmaker has come a lot, but no one has taken a fancy to it, it just so happened that the matchmaker went to the relatives, heard about it, and secretly went to take a look at the Gao family's son, Gao Gongzi is in his early twenties, red lips and white teeth, good looks, is a handsome little brother, wearing a Confucian shirt looks more outstanding, extraordinary, but not the person Yu Niang wants to find.

The flower matchmaker was also bold, and she did not go to Gao Yuanwai, but followed Gao Gongzi when he went out, dragged him down, and told Yu Niang that she was looking for a husband. As the old saying goes, dog days, boiling pot water, blacksmith's stove matchmaker's mouth. How can the flower matchmaker also say that there are dozens of pairs of people, one mouth is talking about the sky, spitting and flying, and the jade lady said that there are few in the world, what is the sinking fish and geese, and the moon is shy of flowers, it is a set of sets.

There is a ballad that praises the matchmaker, saying: "The east family goes, the west family goes, and the two feet run around and roar." There are discussions about three and four, and I am not afraid to walk into people's homes. A certain street in the front street, a certain in the back street, every household is a friend. When you meet, you should smile first, and you will not wait to knock on the news. There are also words, and there are words, referring to the long passage of the paragraph to stretch his hand. A family knows everything, and he has three inches and three points thick. If you still envy him, he will be high, and he will dry up seven or eight buckets of saliva foam. ”

It can be seen how powerful this mouth is, Gao Gongzi has seen such a formation, and he was moved by what he said, and I heard that Yu Niang had to meet someone first, and she was satisfied, and she also thought it was interesting, it was very exciting, he had seen the West Chamber, thinking about the things in the play, and he was a little eager to try.

Why can't Gao Gongzi even get into the show? It's all because of these miscellaneous books, I haven't read much of the Four Books and Five Classics, Wang Shifu's "The Legend of the West Chamber", Guan Hanqing's "Moon Worship Pavilion", Bai Pu's "Horse on the Wall", Zheng Guangzu's "A Chinese Girl's Soul" and other miscellaneous books have been read in my head, how can I pass the exam?

What the flower matchmaker said, and what is written in these books is not bad, Gao Gongzi is really moved, so he discussed with Gao Pozi, and then meet with Yu Niang, and see what Yu Niang looks like, if it is really as the flower matchmaker said, and then go to say kiss, his father will not agree to make trouble to show him, the Gao family is such a single seedling, and it will become if it is not successful.

On the fifteenth day of this month, worshipping God, Gao Gongzi packed up and stopped, took a scholar, and arrived at the Guanyin Temple in Qingtian, Yu Niang was also in Liu Laosan's shop, saying that he was going to make a wish, the two met, one was handsome and chic, and the other was beautiful.

The two thanked Mrs. Hua and let him say that the two families would agree, and there would be a heavy reward after the matter was completed, the Liu family and the Gao family were all rich families, and there were local customs, and the matchmaker would be rewarded handsomely after the matter was completed. And what silver can be missing? The flower matchmaker is even more attentive, the east family comes, the west family goes, it is not too far, and a mouth is even more spitting lotus flowers, and it is said that it has become a family matter, and the silver of the two families is not a small number of them.

There should be six rites in marriage, namely, Nacai, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Welcome. The marriage names are different among the vulgar, but they are roughly these links, that is, the media, the approval of the eight characters, the exchange of books, the small post, the reading of the son, the marriage, etc. A matchmaker is a person who specializes in liaison and negotiation between the two parties to the marriage, and she needs to thread the needle in all aspects.

The flower matchmaker received the money, and she was also diligent at her feet, and she did these chores properly in half a month.

Yu Niang got married, it was someone else's family, it had nothing to do with his Liu family, Liu Laosan was not a stingy person, and the dowry prepared for his daughter was also rich, but that piece of jade cicada could not be taken away, it was left by Li Gongzi to pot, what happened to Yu Niang taking it away?

Yu Niang also understands this truth, and takes out the jade cicada from her arms, the jade cicada has been raised by the jade girl for more than half a year, and the red blood stains inside have almost subsided, only the red blood stains on the cicada tail have not receded, and the jade cicada is coiled into this shape, which can only be regarded as a semi-finished product, and it is strange to say that the jade cicada was handed over to Liu Laosan for half a year, but Li Gongzi never appeared again, and he never even went to the shop once, but no matter what, the jade cicada belongs to others, as long as people come to take it, they have to take it out.

But the jade cicada is like this, Liu Laosan is a little undecided, if it is returned like this, will Li Gongzi follow? Both father and daughter understand this truth, Yu Niang has been wearing jade cicada for a long time, and she is a little reluctant, so she said to her father: "Since you have promised others, you must always pot well, otherwise it will smash our signboard, it is better to do this, I will write a list to my father, and say that the jade cicada is not a dowry, but a panyu that promised the guests before, I pressed my handprint, and explained the matter clearly to my husband, when Li Gongzi comes to take it, you go to my house to get it back." ”

Liu Laosan also felt that it was a solution, so he said: "After receiving the silver, I have you a hundred taels." ”

Yu Niang didn't care, nodded and agreed, wrote a list, pressed the handprint and handed it to his father, Liu Laosan went to this heart disease, and devoted himself to his daughter's marriage.

As soon as the son turned, it was time to get married. (To be continued.) )
