Chu Xia's face finally had a smile.

It happened that Jiang came in with a large basket full of eggs, and Chu Xia couldn't wait to pull over his mother and discuss which family in the village was suitable for which seasoning.

For the He family to make vermicelli and the Li Zheng family to make pastries, the Jiang family naturally agreed with them, but just pointed to the eggs and smiled: "It's just the same, the Songhua egg you said can't be given to others, otherwise our eggs won't be used up." ”

Because the second room of the Chu family is getting richer and richer, the whole family village firmly believes that the Xiangling family has a family fairy "Wong Tai Sin", and the Jiang family is also convinced that there are no other "sequelae", only one --- loves to raise chickens, which is similar to madness.

There are already five or six hundred chickens in the house, running all over the yard.

It's October now, and if you hurry up, there is still a month to build, and it's a bit too late to build a house, but it's still okay to build a yard wall, build a chicken coop, and dig a river pond.

Moreover, this time it opened, Chu Xia collected more than 2,000 taels of payment and deposit, and money was not a problem.

Xiangling smiled and said to Chu Xia: "Brother, let's build up the courtyard wall and chicken coop first, so that the yard is more regular, the pond is also dug out before it freezes, and the viewing pavilion in the middle of the pond is also built first, and you can release water to raise fish fry and plant lotus flowers before spring." ”

Chu Xia was surprised: "All the bluestone walls? Still want to build a pavilion? How much does it cost? ”

Xiangling smiled: "Brother, we have to take a long-term view." This year is just a simple fence, next year is the beginning of spring is a big project, all completed before September, so that you and your sister-in-law have a beautiful marriage. ”

Chu Xia, who was originally distressed about money, immediately blushed and said angrily: "As far as your little mouth can say!" Maybe you won't wait for Xiaoman to marry in, and you'll have to get married. ”

Xiangling said confidently: "Don't worry, I will never marry before the age of eighteen, I want to be an older leftover girl at home, and rub your mother together, so that you can bear the splint well." ”

Chu Xia naturally knew that Xiangling was ridiculing him, and the relationship between Jiang, Xiangling and Xiaoman was as good as mixing oil in honey, so there would be no such thing as other people's mother-in-law and sister-in-law jointly rubbing their sister-in-law.

Chu Xia rolled his eyes and said: "I want to keep you until eighteen, twenty-eight, and thirty-eight, but I'm afraid that your reputation for accumulating wealth is outside, and the matchmaker has broken through the threshold, and he can't keep it if he wants to." ”

Xiangling was happy, and said confidently: "Brother, where is the matchmaker you said about stepping through the threshold?" Why didn't I see it? Now I am not only famous for accumulating wealth, but also for being able to kill people with a single whip. ”

Jiang watched the two children laugh with joy, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Chu Xia ignored his sister, drove the carriage to order green bricks, and then found a few groups of craftsmen to work, and at the same time started to build the wall.

.

What Xiangling didn't expect was that she thought she was Yang Qingyue's "thing in the palm of her hand", and no one would beat her idea, but she didn't expect that not only did someone dare to hit her idea, but even the matchmaker had already come to Chujia Village on the way.

The old house of the Chu family.

Looking at the dilapidated adobe house and the pickled courtyard, the matchmaker Wang instinctively held the corner of her skirt with one hand and covered her nose with a handkerchief with the other, and was surprised in her heart.

The Jin family, among the businessmen in Lin'an County, can be regarded as the top, how could they find such a poor and sour farmer? You must know that those who can let themselves go out to talk about the matchmaker in person are either rich or expensive, and such a poor person is definitely the only dung of the scorpion.

Mrs. Wang's attitude was a little arrogant, she didn't sit on the kang, but sat on a relatively clean chair, looked Chu Shi and Chu Shiyun up and down, and said arrogantly: "I'm here to tell your girl about matchmaking." ”

Chu's itself is not a fuel-efficient lamp, Wang Matchmaker looks at people with her lower eyelids, she looks at people with her nostrils, and she can't look at it.

Chu Shiyun raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid you're in the wrong place, right?" I don't have a girl in my family. ”

Chu Shi glared at Chu Shiyun fiercely and said, "Nonsense! Why not? Isn't that wolf cub in the second room fifteen years old? ”

Chu Shiyun then remembered Chu Xiangling.

Although the old mansion signed a document with the second room not to interfere with the wedding and funeral of the second room, at that time, Chu only agreed to Chu Xia and Chu Xianglian, and he wondered why his mother was resolute.

If that's the case, it's really ginger and spicy, and my mother has calculated everything ahead.

Chu Shizhi said proudly to Mrs. Wang: "Which family are you talking about?" Don't blame me for not reminding you, my Xiangling is good-looking, has a good personality, can make money, is a famous money-collecting boy in Shili Batun, there is a shop in the city, and the Sheng's oil mill is under the plate, ordinary people are not worthy of her. ”

If Xiangling heard this, she was afraid that her eyes would fall out in shock, and Chu would praise her!! I'm dripping sky! More surprising than the red rain in the sky.

Mrs. Wang was also taken aback, she only knew that the Jin family asked him to go to Chu Shiyun's house in Chujia Village to be a matchmaker.

There are two or three families surnamed Chu in the ten households in Chujia Village, and Mrs. Wang only thought it was an ordinary peasant girl, so she didn't think much about it at that time.

Only now did I know that this girl turned out to be a rich man who rose overnight in the city: the girl from the Chu family's oil mill and Jiang's eldest sister Zuo Shifang! The Chu family is the real family!

No wonder the Jin family would spend so much money to let her, a gold medal matchmaker, be a matchmaker! And it gives her a lot of autonomy, as long as she agrees, everything is easy to say!

Mrs. Wang's attitude immediately turned one hundred and eighty degrees, and she said with a smile on her face: "Sister-in-law, you are a blessed person at first glance, with such a capable granddaughter!" You don't have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of your life!! ”

Mrs. Wang complimented her like this, but she didn't think so, how about having a capable granddaughter, and she wasn't poor and sour?

Hearing this sentence made Chu a little embarrassed, his filial piety and silver were all subsidized by the one acre of land that was deducted when he divided the family, and he thought he had taken a big advantage at the time, but now he knows that he has suffered a big loss.

I knew that the little rabbit cub could catch money so much, and I would have treated her better in the first place.

There is a way, the road you choose, you have to finish it on your knees, since the relationship with the second room is not good, then change some silver to be real.

Although she felt uncomfortable, the great change in Mrs. Wang's attitude also pleased Chu to a certain extent, and she snorted in her nose and said: "Speaking of flowers, you have to find a rich family, I am not happy if it is not good." ”

Mrs. Wang smiled like a chrysanthemum blooming in September, and said flatteringly: "Sister-in-law, have you heard of Lin'an Restaurant and Lin'an Inn?" It is the matchmaker that Jin Laodong's family asked me to say, the man is his family's eldest son Jin Chaodong, who is twenty-five years old, and there is a lady in the first place, who died of illness at the beginning of the year, and Jin Dadong's family is now in charge of the Lin'an Inn. ”

Chu Shi waved his hand impatiently and said, "Don't say what you have, do you have a dowry list?" ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned at first, and then took out a piece of red paper: "Open it, and read it like ...... same way: five horses of silk and five pieces of cotton."

And on the red paper that the Chu family can't see, there is actually nothing, this is the permission given by the Jin family to Wang Matchmaker, depending on the attitude of the Chu family, the dowry can be changed at any time.

Mrs. Wang peeked at Chu while "reading" the dowry, and found that Chu's face was ugly, obviously these poor and sour things were very unpleasant.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly cleared her throat and continued to "read": "A pair of silver head noodles, a pair of chalcedony head noodles ......"

Peeking at Chu again, his face was a little straighter, but his brows were still wrinkled.

Mrs. Wang secretly scolded the Chu family for being greedy in her heart, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, touched the blank red paper, and continued to pretend to read: "Pure official silver five hundred taels ......"

Looking at Chu again, there were immediately laugh lines in the corners of his eyes, but he endured it, looking very weird.

Mrs. Wang probed the bottom of Chu's family, and what she read later was a painless dowry.

Mrs. Wang put away the red paper in a similar way, and said to Chu: "Sister-in-law, this Jin family has shown the greatest sincerity. Don't like to listen to the heart-wrenching words, your girl is now making money in business, relying on luck; The Jin family is different, the last two generations have been in business, and the family is well-off! It's hard to find a lantern! Hurry up and give me the girl's birthday, I will go to the marriage, the marriage book, and the end of the year will be married. ”

It's too much of a rush.

Chu Shi pondered for a moment and said: "I am in a hurry at the end of the year, my girl will only be in time after the New Year, it is better to wait for ...... next year."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly interrupted Chu's and said, "Sister-in-law, farming is still a solar term!" It's early, it's late, it's not possible. Your girl is young, and the Jin Dong family is not small, and if you hold it again, Jin Niangzi may not be your girl. ”

Chu Shi pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes and said: "Alas, my own children hurt at home, and I haven't left enough children!" Xiangling, the child is not enjoying happiness at home, she is reluctant to eat, she is reluctant to drink, and she is not wearing any good clothes, I feel sorry for the child......"

Mrs. Wang was a shrewd person, and immediately heard the extraneous voice, secretly gritted her silver teeth, and said with a forced smile: "Sister-in-law, isn't there still more than three months before the New Year?" I will take this opportunity to give the child good food, drink, and clothing, and I will tell the Jin family that there will be an extra hundred taels of silver, so that my sister-in-law will not be reluctant to let the child out of the cabinet. ”

Chu Shi showed a smile at this time, this time, it was the only time that Chu Xiangling made her happy.

The two sides reached a consensus, and Chu hurriedly told Mrs. Wang about Chu Xiangling's birthday.
