Chapter 151: It turned out that he proposed marriage
"That's right, Aunt Liu, I heard that you haven't found a wife yet, I have a good person here to introduce you."
Aunt Cao finally spoke, revealing her true intentions.
"Huh? I? Liu Wan was stunned.
She thought that according to the ancient etiquette, it would take at least three years to be widowed, right?
So she felt that there would be at least three years when no one would bother her.
But I never expected that before 100 days, someone would come to the door to propose marriage to the widow?
Won't you be beaten to death?
Liu Wan didn't know that because 20 years ago, the Great Zhou State and the neighboring Xiongnu State fought every year, and the population loss was huge, so the imperial court privately did not strictly control this kind of male and female marriage.
In fact, the Great Zhou State also silently allows men and women to love, which can promote a pair to be a couple, have children early, and contribute more to the country, lest the country not even have people to be soldiers.
Therefore, in the case of Liu Wan, as long as both parties agree, and the family has no objections, it doesn't matter whether she is a widower or a widow, it is not a problem if she wants to marry.
Even if someone is ignorant and talks about things at the level of etiquette and religion, the government will turn a blind eye and downplay such things.
Therefore, Aunt Cao knew that Liu Wan was newly widowed, but she still unceremoniously came to the door to propose marriage.
For a gold-medal matchmaker like her, there is no widow's door that cannot be pried open.
As long as she can succeed, she will have a silver tael Xie Yi, so how could she give up the silver in her hand?
But because Liu Wan was not mentally prepared, Aunt Cao knew her intentions, not to mention Liu Wan, and even Wu Hui, who had just come out with hot water, was startled.
Wu Hui almost didn't slip the long-necked porcelain pot with hot water in her hand on the ground.
Fortunately, she quickly stabilized her figure, slowly put the porcelain pot on the table, and subconsciously said:
"Mother, you want hot water."
Wu Hui's arrival interrupted the conversation between Aunt Cao and Liu Wan.
Liu Wan took the opportunity to settle down, then unconsciously wiped her ears, looked at Aunt Cao with unbelievable eyes, and asked angrily but restrainedly:
"Aunt Cao, are you talking about human words? Why can't I understand? ”
"Haha, human words, of course human words!" Aunt Cao has experienced a hundred battles and is familiar with the various ways in which the parties react, how could she be intimidated by Liu Wan's rather polite tone, "Aunt Liu, how can you, a woman in her early 30s, be widowed for a lifetime?" How long will it take to keep it?
Since it is impossible to keep it for a lifetime, you have to marry early and late, it is better to marry early, and you can choose a good family. ”
Liu Wan showed a hesitant look, her mind was clouded:
Who is so concerned?
Want to be a matchmaker for her?
Let her get married?
How much she can't think about it?
Finally, her original husband turned into a box in situ, she obtained the ultimate liberation of life, and it was too late to be happy, she had just enjoyed a good life of leisure and comfort, and even let her rush to send away someone's head?
Did she have water in her brain?
Liu Wan laughed angrily and said, "Aunt Cao, I don't know who you want to find for me for a long time?" ”
Wu Hui stood on the side and didn't leave, and Liu Wan didn't drive her away.
In this case, it is better to have a witness, lest Aunt Cao open her mouth to talk nonsense, so that Liu Wan can't explain clearly when she has a mouth.
"Yo, Aunt Liu, this caring person is the Zhou butcher in the town, he said that you often go to buy meat, and he has a good impression of you.
The situation of Zhou's butcher's house, let me tell you, you will definitely be satisfied.
He has two sons, 12 and 13, and his daughter-in-law just fell ill and died last year, leaving them behind.
Butcher Zhou is a father and a mother alone, but he is really lacking in skills, and now he has no worries about his livelihood, and there is a lack of a little lady in the family in the house.
What a great opportunity you say?
Zhou Butcher's father and mother are gone, there are no in-laws on it, you used to be alone, you don't need to look at the faces of your in-laws, you are free, you will understand if you are married, you don't need to look at the faces of your in-laws, how comfortable is this.
If it works, you will have another boy and half a woman, if not, as long as you treat them well, the two sons over there will also do their filial piety. ”
Aunt Cao has a heartbeat.
Liu Wan didn't expect it to be Butcher Zhou.
I don't know when this person actually fell in love with himself?
Liu Wan remembered all the performances of Butcher Zhou when he saw her before, and then she realized that this thing had probably fallen in love with her a long time ago, and she was usually polite and very flattering.
She originally thought that it was Butcher Zhou's enthusiasm for big customers, but she didn't expect her to be careless.
As soon as she thought of this, Liu Wan couldn't help but feel numb in her back for a while.
She was a delicious flatbread that was weighed by a pig, and she didn't know it, and she still dealt with pigs every day.
Wu Hui was dumbfounded when she heard it on the side, she never thought that her mother-in-law, a widow, would come to the door to propose marriage?
And it was the townspeople who proposed marriage.
In Wu Hui's opinion, the residents of the town are much better than the older men in the village who can't afford to marry a wife.
If the person being asked to marry at the moment is not her mother-in-law, but someone else, she will also think that this is a good family matter.
Wu Hui couldn't help but be nervous and curious, not knowing how her mother-in-law would deal with this matter.
In Wu Hui's heart, she even faintly felt that her mother-in-law would leave them behind and live a "happy" life.
If that's the case, it seems that she will have a lot to gain from it.
For example, there is no mother-in-law above her!
Liu Wan calmly and categorically refused:
"Aunt Cao, the dead ghost in my family has just left, and I can't marry again now, and I don't want to marry again."
"Aunt Liu's words are wrong, Zhou Butcher's condition is such a good man, since he has caught up, it is a bit of a loss not to marry quickly.
Women, eighteen flowers, thirty tofu scum, our Aunt Liu is outstanding, and there is no feeling of tofu scum.
But as women, we also know that the flowering period is short, so it is better to find a good person to marry while it is glamorous now, and seize the opportunity! ”
Aunt Cao's words were clear, Liu Wan didn't feel anything about these words, but she felt uncomfortable with the inexplicable sense of superiority in Aunt Cao's tone.
Liu Wan refuted unhappily:
"Aunt Cao? Why do I have to marry him? ”
Aunt Cao is not afraid of the "customer" changing her face, she doesn't know how many times she has experienced such an occasion, but which time was not persuaded by her? In the end, I earned a big red envelope.
"Hehe, with his family having a tiled house in the town, he can earn three or five hundred yuan a day by selling meat, and his two sons are well-behaved and filial."
"Aunt Cao, this is all his own condition, what does it matter to me?"
Liu Wan shook her head speechlessly.
"Aunt Liu, we are all women, I will break with you in my heart, hehe, you see that you are in this shabby place in the countryside, you have to walk for half an hour to the town, poor and remote areas, what good people can you choose?
There are so many underage children in your family, it's good that Butcher Zhou doesn't dislike you! Are you still picky? ”
Aunt Cao opened the "PUA" method.
