The position of the matchmaker in marriage is extremely important, so since ancient times, there has been a saying that the Ming media is marrying, and the matchmaker comes to the door as the first step of the six ceremonies of marriage, which is called Nacai, also known as marriage.

The matchmaker tentatively proposes the possibility of marriage on behalf of the client, and if it is rejected, the suitor will not lose face, after all, it is the matchmaker who is rejected, and both parties can act as if nothing happened.

This is extremely important in the face society, and the role of the matchmaker is reflected here, properly maintaining the face of the suitor.

The news that the head of the Liu courtyard came to propose marriage on behalf of the Fan family immediately spread throughout the Zhu family, causing an uproar within the Zhu family.

When the Liu family's three marriage proposals were delayed or rejected by Zhu Yuanfu for various reasons, he agreed to the Fan family's marriage proposal, which will undoubtedly seriously deteriorate the relationship between the Zhu and Liu families, which makes Zhu Yuanjun, who is committed to maintaining the relationship between the Zhu and Liu families, deeply worried.

Zhu Yuanjun's eldest son, Zhu Xiaozhen, after learning that the matchmaker of the Fan family came to the door, he immediately showed his attitude and strongly opposed this marriage.

In the afternoon of this day, a boat came quickly and docked at the dock of Zhu's house, Zhu Xiaozhen stepped off the boat with a gloomy face and walked quickly towards Fuzhong.

Zhu Xiaozhen is about 40 years old, according to his grandfather's arrangement, the second Zhu Yuanjun is in politics in the third room, the eldest Zhu Yuanfu is in the field, and the third Zhu Yuanfeng is in business.

But many things did not follow the trajectory of Mrs. Zhu's arrangement, Zhu Yuanfu's son Zhu Xiaoyun was admitted to the Jinshi and became an official in politics, Zhu Yuanfu did not completely guard the field, and the Zhu family's money shop and color silk shop were still in the hands of Zhu Yuanfu.

And Zhu Xiaozhen should be in politics, but he was not admitted to the Jinshi, and Zhu Yuanjun felt that his qualifications were slightly poor, so he gave the only shadow official in the family to Zhu Xiaozhen's brother Zhu Xiaoqin, and Zhu Xiaoqin is currently serving as the general judge of Yuezhou.

Losing the hope of becoming an official, Zhu Xiaozhen was responsible for running a school in his hometown, cultivating Zhu's protégés, and being in charge of the Zhu family's family housekeeping.

Zhu Xiaozhen had just returned from the Liu family, and he brought back the anger of the Liu family, which made him feel very bad.

Zhu Xiaozhen came directly to see his uncle Zhu Yuanfu, and after a while, he walked into Zhu Yuanfu's study, where Zhu Yuanfu was sitting at the table admiring a strange stone that he had just gotten.

"Nephew gives uncle a salute!"

Zhu Xiaozhen bowed down to Zhu Yuanfu, Zhu Yuanfu smiled and said: "Xiaozhen, my Taihu Lake stone is called Beiyoudongtian, the structure inside is very amazing, guess how much did Apei spend to buy it?" ”

Zhu Xiaozhen had to smile bitterly and said: "It should be worth a lot!" ”

"It's worth a lot of money, but Ape bought it for the usual money, and that kind of good thing doesn't happen very often."

Zhu Xiaozhen didn't have the heart to talk to his uncle about the stone, he said cautiously: "My nephew wants to talk to my uncle about Ah Pei again, and my nephew has just returned from Liu's house." ”

Zhu Yuanfu quickly glanced at him and said lightly: "Say it!" ”

Zhu Xiaozhen hurriedly said: "My nephew talked to Old Man Liu about the marriage between the two families today, and I also hope to use a workaround to solve the deadlock, such as giving Yu'er to Liu Ran." ”

Zhu Yu is the daughter of Zhu Xiaozhen's brother Zhu Xiaoqin, one year younger than Zhu Pei, Zhu Yuanfu sneered in his heart, and said quietly: "Then what? ”

"Then the old man Zhu resolutely refused to agree, he said that he talked to the uncle about this marriage ten years ago, and the uncle always delayed for various reasons, and now he actually wants to give Apei to other people's families, and does not give the Liu family a little explanation, which is a huge insult to the Liu family, and the Liu family needs to re-evaluate the relationship between the two families."

"If Pei'er doesn't marry the Liu family, is it a huge insult to the Liu family?"

Zhu Yuanfu sneered: "When did the relationship between the Zhu and Liu families rely on a sixteen-year-old lady to maintain it?" ”

Zhu Xiaozhen hurriedly explained: "Uncle, maybe the Liu family feels that their dignity has been hurt, after all, it has been ten years since the Liu family mentioned this marriage. ”

Zhu Yuanfu shook his head slowly, "You can't see the essence of the problem at all. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanfu stared at Zhu Xiaozhen sharply, "Why didn't Liu Zhuo come to me when he had an opinion, but needed you to come to the door to explain?" When did the Liu family become so arrogant? In the past, the Liu family came to visit the Zhu family twice in three days, but now? It's May now, and Liu Zhuo hasn't come to the door once this year, don't you think the Liu family doesn't take our Zhu family seriously? ”

Zhu Xiaozhen lowered his head and whispered: "My nephew thinks that it is because of Zhu Pei's matter that the Liu family is dissatisfied, which has caused the relationship between the Zhu and Liu families to regress!" ”

"You insist on that?" Zhu Yuanfu looked at this nephew coldly.

"Yes!" Zhu Xiaozhen replied without hesitation.

Zhu Yuanfu shook his head, "Then you go!" ”

"But Pe'er's business ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu Yuanfu waved his hand to interrupt him, "I don't think you need to think too much about Pei'er's affairs, this matter is naturally up to me, you have to think about it, when to open the Luohan Gate, the locks on the door are already rusty." ”

Zhu Xiaozhen couldn't hold back any longer, Huo Di stood up, "Uncle doesn't consider our feelings at all, and insists on going his own way, I'm afraid that the Luohan Gate will not be opened, and the Jinchi Gate will also be closed." ”

After speaking, he turned around with a blushing face and walked away quickly, Zhu Yuanfu looked at his distant back, and shook his head secretly, what kind of son is born, this is not false at all!

The Zhu Mansion in Shengze Town covers an area of about 200 acres, and it is actually composed of three mansions, with the three Zhu brothers and their descendants each occupying one room, just like the relationship between the Rongguo Mansion and the Ning Guofu in the Dream of Red Mansions.

The three mansions are in the shape of the word "product", Zhu Yuanfu's house is in the upper part of the character, and Zhu Yuanjun and Zhu Yuanfeng are respectively in the lower part of the left and right, respectively called the upper house, the left house and the right house, the three mansions are connected by a gate, the connecting door between the left house and the right door is called the Luohan Gate, which has not been opened for nearly ten years, and the big lock on it has been rusty.

The relationship between Zhu Yuanjun and Zhu Yuanfeng is very cold, when the old lady was still there before, they at least pretended to be more harmonious on the surface, after the old lady died, the two brothers no longer pretended, including the children and grandchildren of the two houses.

The Jinchi Gate is the contact door between Zhu Yuanfu's mansion and the second Zhu Yuanjun's mansion, which is currently open, and the children of the two mansions are often together.

Therefore, Zhu Xiaozhen was in a hurry, and said the unpleasant words of the closure of Jinchi Gate, which was actually a threat to Zhu Yuanfu, if Zhu Yuanfu refused to give in to this marriage, then it would lead to the split of the Zhu family.

Zhu Yuanfu paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, his mood was also quite heavy, he didn't know what Zhu Xiaozhen said, whether it was his own meaning or his father's attitude, he actually said such chilling words as the division of the Zhu family.

At this time, a pretty figure quietly appeared beside Zhu Yuanfu, "Grandpa, the second uncle is quarreling again?" ”

The person who came was Zhu Pei, the second uncle had quarreled with her grandfather for a long time over her affairs in the past two days, which made her feel quite uneasy, and she didn't want to cause the internal relationship of the Zhu family to deteriorate because of her own affairs.

Zhu Yuanfu patted his baby granddaughter's head lovingly, although this granddaughter ran to Kunzhou without telling him and choked him angrily, but after she came back, she pulled his arm and coquettishly, and the anger in Zhu Yuanfu's heart suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Things have nothing to do with you, you sit down, Grandpa tells you."

Zhu Pei sat next to his grandfather obediently, Zhu Yuanfu sat down on his wide chair, he stared at the roof for a moment, and said slowly: "Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, your second grandfather has been dissatisfied with me for more than a day or two, I have protected your third grandfather since I was a child, every time he bullied your third grandfather, he will be severely reprimanded by me, I expected him to understand brotherly feelings when he grew up, but I didn't expect that he would go further and further on the road of brotherly disharmony." ”

"Why is this happening?" Juppe asked, puzzled.

Zhu Yuanfu smiled bitterly and said: "Your second grandfather was very smart since he was a child, he can be called a prodigy, he was literate at the age of three, wrote poetry at the age of five, and wrote a good word at the age of six.

This sense of superiority has been engraved into his bones, he is a little better to me, after all, he is the same brother, but he despises your third grandfather very much, your third grandfather is three years younger than him, and it is common for him to be abused and kicked and beaten.

And I resolutely protect your third grandfather, so he also has hatred for me in his heart. ”

"The hatred I had when I was a child, will I still have it now?"

"It's been fifty years, and it stands to reason that there shouldn't be any more, but when your great-grandfather did something wrong, it ended up causing an irreparable rift between our brothers."

"Grandpa told me, what's the matter?"

"It's my title of Duke of Wujiang County, which should have belonged to your second grandfather, your great-grandfather strongly asked to give this title to your second grandfather, and the Son of Heaven also agreed, I heard that even the will was prepared, but because the concubine did not agree, she asked her eldest son to be knighted, which changed the mind of the Son of Heaven, and finally this title fell on my head."

"But this is what the concubine means, what does it have to do with Grandpa?"

"The concubine and I have been brothers and sisters since childhood, but we have a bad relationship with your second grandfather, your second grandfather has always thought that I influenced the concubine and took away the title that should have belonged to him, I explained again and again, although this matter has passed on the surface, I know that this matter has always been a thorn in his heart.

This time, he challenged me for the matter of the Liu family, which actually hid decades of grievances, of course, it also had something to do with him marrying the eldest daughter of the Liu family, not to mention, the Liu family also wanted to use this matter to trample our Zhu family under their feet. ”
