Chapter 233: The Wei family proposes marriage

This is the person Li Xin is looking forward to——.

This matchmaker looks decent, and she is not like other matchmakers who have a matchmaker mole on one side of their face, and they are also dressed up with grease and powder. She was dressed in a simple skirt with small trousers, a pair of thick-soled cloth shoes on her feet, her face was also clean, she carried a small basket, and came to the door with a smile on her face.

The matchmaker claimed to be surnamed Jia, and came from the town to say that the Wei family entrusted her to come to the Guan family to say goodbye.

Mrs. Jia was invited into the hall by Li Xin, and Ah He followed Li Xin, but Ah Mei avoided it. This is talking about Ah Mei's marriage, and it is better that the parties concerned should not be present.

Mrs. Jia drank. Cha smiled at Li Xin: "Don't listen to my surname Jia, the matchmaker I said can't be fake at all." ”

Li Xin naturally didn't dare to underestimate the matchmaker. Among the three aunts and six mothers-in-law, the profession of matchmaker is the most admired by her, as can be known from the peach aunt in Lijia Village. To be a matchmaker, the situation around the unmarried young man and girl in the four towns and eight neighbors must be strictly touched, and the more powerful matchmaker can arrange people to form a pair well, which girl is good with which kid she can say.

There is a story that the matchmaker is a matchmaker, the man and the woman have their own shortcomings, but when they went on a blind date, they didn't see it, they only saw each other's good, and they only knew each other's shortcomings on the night of marriage, but they all felt that the other party was very suitable for themselves, at least no one disliked anyone, and they were also very grateful to the matchmaker - the woman used a fan to cover the parts below her eyes, because the woman's face was pockmarked, but her eyes were very beautiful; The man was riding on a donkey at the time, because the man was a little lame, but the man was tall and tall.

can make a beautiful marriage, and the matchmaker can be said to be immeasurably meritorious.

However, this specifies that the marriage partner is not in this ranks.

After Mrs. Jia and Li Xin had a few words, they began to praise Wei Shusheng: "...... At a young age, he is already a showman, and he is also fair and handsome, he is a Sven person, and there is only one old lady in the family who is also very easy to get along with. If your girl marries, she will definitely enjoy a blessed life. This year, the little minister of the Wei family is going to participate in the autumn festival, if he wins, your girl will be a lady. That's a blessing of all......"

Mrs. Jia's words are not false at all, and she is also very pertinent.

When Aunt Wei invited her to come to the matchmaker, she must have been thorough with her, hinting that the woman's family also approved the marriage, so Mrs. Jia accepted the order. At this time, Mrs. Jia saw that Li Xin was polite to her, although she knew that she knew each other, but she also felt that the eldest sister-in-law of the woman's girl's family was a reserved person, and she didn't interrupt when the matchmaker talked about the advantages of the man.

Li Xin listened to Mrs. Jia. He nodded and said: "I have also seen the Wei family brothers, they are worthy of being entrusted for life, but I don't know what the Wei family's charter is, do you make a family affair now, and wait for the Wei family brothers to get ahead before marrying them, or ......?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law of the Guan family, the Wei family means. Make an appointment first, and then marry your girl when she is sixteen or seventeen years old. Mrs. Jia smiled and said, "Since the sister-in-law of the Guan family knows the situation of the Wei family, she must also know the situation of the Wei family." The Wei family is holding a marriage at this time, and I am afraid that they will empty out the money and wealth of the Wei family. The little minister of the Wei family himself said that it is the best for your girl to marry your girl after he has a chance. ”

.

It's not that she suddenly regretted it, it's just that she thought about it carefully, now that she is engaged, what if Wei Shusheng really gets ahead in the future, but wants to regret the marriage? Now it seems that Wei Shusheng is very good, but people's hearts are fickle, so he can't guarantee that he won't be able to look down on Ah Mei after the prosperity of the state capital?

Seeing that Li Xin didn't answer, Mrs. Jia also had some doubts in her heart. However, she still continued: "This marriage is the best marriage, you see the sister-in-law of the Guan family...... If you agree, I can let the Wei family prepare a wedding ceremony. ”

Li Xin smiled at Mrs. Jia and said, "This marriage is indeed good, but I can't be the master alone, so it's better for Aunt Jia to let me delay for two days." Wait until my boss comes back and ask me about my boss? ”

Mrs. Jia was suddenly surprised-didn't she say that the woman's family also agreed?

Li Xin whispered to Mrs. Jia: "It's not that we are here to take Qiao, I am very much in favor of this marriage, but Aunt Jia, you don't know anything...... My sister-in-law and I also came out with us, and she has no mother, so I am helping her take care of the marriage. But I have to tell her father about this family matter, and I don't know my father-in-law's ......."

Speaking of which, Li Xin looked embarrassed.

This is true, but if you want to call the shots, Li Xin can make decisions without asking Guan Ming and Guan Wen. It's just that she still wants to think about it more, so she uses such a rhetoric to delay it for a while.

Jia matchmaker doesn't seem to believe it, but she, as a matchmaker, wants to make money in harmony, and it is natural for her to accept other people's money to help others run errands, so she also smiled and said: "The sister-in-law of the Guan family is polite, then I will delay it for two days and come back to bother." ”

Li Xin hurriedly confessed, and stuffed two small coins to Mrs. Jia, which made Mrs. Jia feel that Li Xin was a good person.

After sending Mrs. Jia away, Ah He, who had been silent, asked in a low voice: "I see that my sister-in-law is quite satisfied with this family, why didn't she agree?" ”

Li Xin pondered for a moment and said: "It's not that I don't agree, it's just that I ......" Li Xin frowned: "I'm afraid that people's hearts are changeable, if this brother of the Wei family goes to a high place, he will look down on Ah Mei, and then this kiss will be a scourge, and if it doesn't become a scourge, it will also be a scourge." It's always a little worrying. ”

Ah He is her mother's sister, but after she gets married, she is not a member of her mother's family, so she does not have as much say as Li Xin in Ah Mei's marriage.

It's just that Ah He felt sorry for his sister in the end, and said to Li Xin: "Sister-in-law, Ah Mei's family affairs will trouble you......"

"Look at what you said, my sister is also my sister-in-law, can I not care about my own sister-in-law's marriage?"

Li Xin was disgusted, thought for a while, and said, "I'd better ask Ah Mei, if you want to talk about this Wei scholar...... At first, Ah Mei should have been a little interested in Wei Shusheng. ”

Ah He looked at Li Xin in surprise, Li Xin waved at her, pursed her lips and smiled and entered Ah Mei's house.

Since Mrs. Jia came, Li Xin drove Ah Mei and asked her to go back to her house by herself. When she ran away, Ah Mei's face was flushed.

As soon as Li Xin entered the house, she saw Ah Mei throwing herself on the bed, her hands constantly pinching and twisting on the sheets, looking like a little daughter.

Li Xin walked over in a whisper, and only when she got closer did she make a "hum", choking Ah Mei and jumping up from the bed at once.

"Sister-in-law!" Ah Mei suddenly complained and screamed. sat on the edge of the bed angrily, bowed his head slightly, and didn't know whether he was so red because he had been ashamed all the time, or if he was angry with Li Xin.

"What are you thinking? It's not a small movement when I come in, didn't you hear it? ”

Li Xin sat next to her with a smile, patted her little face gently, and said bluntly: "Sister, Aunt Wei asked the matchmaker to propose marriage, and I want you to be her daughter-in-law." ”

Ah Mei suddenly turned her head away, and her face was buried even lower.

Li Xin turned her face around. asked seriously: "Tell your sister-in-law what you think." ”

Ah Mei didn't speak, Li Xin knew that she was shy, and had the heart to tease her: "If you don't say it, then you won't be very happy." Hey, the sister-in-law went to reject the matchmaker. ”

As he spoke, he got up and really wanted to go out, but was eagerly pulled by Ah Mei.

"Sister-in-law, I'm not ......" Ah Mei was about to speak. Seeing Li Xin's face smiling, he hurriedly stopped talking, and shouted ashamedly and annoyedly: "Sister-in-law! ”

"Alright, alright. I won't tease you. ”

Li Xin laughed twice, but asked Ah Mei with a serious look: "Do you agree with this family matter?" Tell your sister-in-law directly. ”

After waiting for a long time, I finally waited for Ah Mei to nod slowly.

Li Xin asked seriously, "Have you made up your mind?" ”

Ah Mei still nodded gently.

Li Xin paused, sighed and said, "Sister, the sister-in-law will make it clear to you first, the matchmaker said that the Wei family means that you are engaged first, and then you will get married when you are sixteen or seventeen." It's a good idea, and I think the girls are older. People are more stable and can afford things, and their health is better, so it is suitable to marry. It's just that there's something you need to think about here. ”

Ah Mei raised her head and looked at Li Xin seriously.

Li Xin said: "Wei Shusheng is going to the state capital to take the examination this autumn, if he is admitted. He didn't have the heart to take the exam again, and he could be an official if he raised someone. Let's not talk about the problem that he couldn't pass the test, let's just say that he did. ”

Li Xin counted and said: "If he is admitted, there are two ways, either continue to be admitted to the Jinshi to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, or directly seek an official position and become an official." If he continues to take the exam, although there are some silver grains and rice issued by the imperial court, his family's income will still not be able to make ends meet. Not to mention anything else, it is a big expense for him to buy books, pen, ink, paper and inkstone. Although he can find time to sell calligraphy and paintings, he has to be free. I'm afraid that when he reads, he will forget to sleep and eat. ”

Ah Mei blinked, and Li Xin continued: "Besides, he is directly an official." If he becomes an official directly, I am worried that he will be blinded by the official position and see too much of this huāhuā world, and in turn he will dislike you. After all, he is a scholar, and everyone who reads believes in a sentence, called 'There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book' If he regrets his marriage, he doesn't care, the official master is not worried about not being able to marry his daughter-in-law, although it is a little hindering the official reputation, but this is not a divorce after all. But you are different, if you are divorced, it will be much more difficult to talk about family affairs in the future. ”

Ah Mei listened to Li Xin all the time, and at the end of the day, she couldn't help grabbing Li Xin's sleeve.

Li Xin touched her head and said, "Sister-in-law can't help you make decisions, after all, people's hearts are fickle, and if he looks good now, it doesn't mean that he will be good in the future." This sister-in-law is a sister-in-law to help you Zhang Luo, and when it comes to the end, I still want you to nod yourself. If you think he is worthy of your trust, I will answer this family business, if you think it is inappropriate, even if it comes to the end because of the good relationship with the Wei family because of this matter, I will refuse the matchmaker. ”

Ah Mei lowered her head and thought silently for a while, and suddenly said, "Sister-in-law, you continue to teach me to read and write." ”

"Huh?"

Li Xin might as well Ah Mei suddenly said this, looked down, Ah Mei looked at her with bright eyes, and said, "Sister-in-law, if you teach me to read and write, I will study harder." ”

Li Xin moved his mouth, sighed lightly for a long time, and said, "Are you telling me, let me help you deal with this family business?" ”

Ah Mei nodded, turned her face embarrassedly, and said softly: "He is a good person, and he will not do things that are messy and abandoned." Said to Li Xin: "Sister-in-law, do you remember what he said last time he invited us to be a guest, but he got drunk?" ”

Of course, Li Xin remembered that she and Guan Wen were extremely embarrassed at that time.

Ah Mei said: "After I listened to it at the time, I felt that he was not as dull as he appeared on the surface. Although he is a scholar, he is not pedantic, and his brain is still very active. But it's not because of a little petty profit that he loses his dignity. The sixth brother took his painting and sold it for five taels of silver, but he only sold it for five hundred yuan when he painted better, but he didn't let the eldest brother pay him back five taels of silver, but just said that he was not capable, which shows that he is also a motivated person, but he doesn't like to use crooked ways. ”

Li Xin was a little moved, thinking that Ah Mei also helped her and Xing'er analyze whether the three families of Gong, Feng, and Ma were suitable for Ah Xiu, and really let her say that the kid of the Ma family was not appropriate.

Ah Mei usually doesn't talk much, but in the past six months, she has grown a lot, and she has seen the problem more profoundly. In the past, she admired her sixth brother Guan Zhicheng, but now she hardly mentions her sixth brother.

Ah Mei said to Li Xin seriously: "I believe that he is an upright person, Aunt Wei said that their Wei family is a scholarly family, and they must have the integrity of a scholarly family, and there is such a thing as regretting marriage...... He couldn't do it. I, I believe in him......"

In the end, Ah Mei's voice lowered, her face was ashamed, she gradually pursed her lips, and tilted her head to the side.

Ah Mei's attitude was so clear, there was no ambiguity at all, Li Xin couldn't help muttering: "But you are still a little afraid, otherwise why would I teach you to read and write......"

Ah Mei said: "I just hope that there will be no obstacles when communicating with him in the future." Ah Mei said firmly: "He won't look down on me because I can't read, I can't read, it's just to give myself one more skill." After all...... Girls can read, and there aren't many ......."

Li Xin sighed silently, but she was also relieved that Ah Mei had a clear plan and goal for her future, which was a good thing.

Li Xin no longer hesitated about this marriage, and when Guan Wen came back to tell him, Guan Wen immediately patted his thigh and said, "This family affair is good!" After a little joy, he sighed again: "It would be nice to say that the object of the kiss is Ah Xiu." ”

Li Xin couldn't help but say: "Ah Xiu doesn't like scholars. ”

"Why?" Guan Wen subconsciously asked, but after thinking about it, he figured it out, waved his hand and sighed: "Forget it, don't talk about Ah Xiu." What should I do with my sister's relatives? ”

Li Xin glanced at him: "When the matchmaker comes again, it's almost time to change the Geng post to measure the eight characters or something, and these engagements have to be done." It's just ......" Li Xin paused and said, "Ah Mei's eight characters, I have to ask your father for it." ”
