Chapter 117: How Did Rumors Spread?
Matchmaker is a special profession, generally divided into official media and private media, private media is divided into non-governmental groups and individuals, official media is generally a large business, in the government to register the name, registered.
If there is a problem with the official media, it will be a big prison sentence, and it may even implicate the family.
Private media is different, big families never look for them, they are basically some civilian businesses, and sometimes they will cooperate with local dental stores.
Those families who can't get by may also sell their children through the hands of private matchmakers.
"When we went to the county government to receive food, we once met a matchmaker who wanted Ayu to be a child daughter-in-law......"
Mrs. Wang saw that her family didn't understand, so she told the incident she had encountered again, including the conflict with the matchmaker.
Wang Chuanman didn't wait for Mrs. Wang to finish speaking, and became anxious: "It's so hateful, how can they be like that?!" Are you okay, have you suffered? I haven't heard you guys say how you came back! ”
At that time, there were many villagers who went with them, but after they came back, they didn't say a word about it, so the rest of the old Wang family didn't know.
In fact, it was Village Chief Hu who greeted those people, saying that Xiao Ayu is still young now, and it is best to hide this kind of contradiction with the matchmaker.
so as not to affect Xiao Ayu's marriage in the future.
A child's reputation is to be managed from an early age, if you accidentally lose your reputation, it will take many years before you can re-operate it, and it is not easy to have a good reputation.
The other villagers also knew about this kind of thing, but they didn't talk too much.
Mrs. Wang gave Wang Chuanman a roll of his eyes: "Who dares to let your old lady suffer?" You think everyone is like you, but you're a stupid idiot. ”
However, the Liu family is a little worried, they have a conflict with the matchmaker on the county government, and many people in the county must know about it, will they spread the news of Ayu?
Although Liu didn't think that Ayu would marry someone from the county in the future, but if Ayu's reputation was ruined, it would definitely have a great impact in the future.
Feng Shi was even more anxious: "Mother, what should I do!" Da Lang can't be delayed, he is the eldest son and grandson of our family, if even his marriage has problems, other younger brothers and sisters in the future will also be affected. ”
What people look at is not only what conditions your family has, but also the conduct of your family.
It can be said that if there is a person with bad character in a family, the family affairs of the entire family may be affected.
Maybe you could have married a family with a solid life, but because there are problems with the marriage of other relatives, it will also lead to this person only marrying a useless poor person.
Da Lang didn't realize the importance of this matter, but said: "Could it be that the matchmaker who told us about the matchmaker is the same person as the matchmaker in the county town at the beginning?" ”
It's a big deal, they just need to find a matchmaker again.
Feng shook his head: "It's not that simple, the matchmaker and the matchmaker are all connected to each other. ”
Generally speaking, offending a matchmaker is equivalent to offending all the matchmakers around.
Unless all of these matchmakers are dead, or they occasionally meet one or two out of the group, their family affairs will definitely be affected.
In this year, marriage is about the life of parents, and the words of matchmakers are indispensable.
Even if the old Wang family can find a good daughter-in-law for Da Lang by himself, but without a matchmaker as a guarantor, it will definitely not work, and the matchmaker can't jump this step.
Once there is no matchmaker, others will say that you are a matchmaker, and your children will not be able to hold their heads up.
Lao Wang's family wants to take the imperial examination, if you find this, someone has no matchmaker's words, then don't think about continuing to take the exam.
"Your fourth uncle was just because he offended the matchmaker...... Feng was anxious, and almost told a thing about the past.
Old Mrs. Wang glanced at her, and Feng suddenly looked like a rooster choked by the neck, unable to spit out a word.
In front of the child, these words really cannot be said.
The reputation of their old Wang family is quite good in Hujia Village, because the folk customs of the whole village are not bad, but as soon as they leave Hujia Village, they have everything outside.
This is because, when they came here to take root, they inadvertently offended the matchmaker, and it happened to be Wang Chuangui who wanted to say goodbye at that time.
Mrs. Wang held the attitude of calming things down, and bowed her head once.
Later, Wang Chuanman said that he was a family affair and offended a matchmaker, but in the end it was not their family's fault, and Mrs. Wang refused to bow her head when she said anything.
The matchmaker is also stingy, taking advantage of the matchmaker's kung fu to talk about the affairs of the old Wang family as bad as she can.
said that they were poor, hungry and miserable, and that they were a group of robbers from outside, occupying the land of Hujia Village, bullying them every day, this one bullying that.
It is said that he has also killed people.
As a result, Wang Chuanman's reputation was completely ruined outside, and even the notoriety of Mrs. Wang spread.
In addition, some people took a fancy to Wang Chuanman's character at the beginning, and some didn't believe what the matchmaker said, so they planned to come and see it in person.
At that time, Aunt Hu and Mrs. Wang had a quarrel, and the man came over and asked Aunt Hu: "How is the old Wang family?" ”
Aunt Hu was angry, and immediately said nonsense about evil and evil, and shaped Mrs. Wang into an old pious woman who has nothing in the sky and no in the earth.
said that she was not good to anyone, and she couldn't get along with the people in the village, and she took a broom one day and beat this and that.
When the family heard this, they were so frightened that they immediately went back.
They said a little bit about adding oil and vinegar, you pass on me, I pass on you, and the matchmaker made a stumbling block, and later shaped the old Wang family to kill several daughters-in-law.
Why is the old Wang family poor? Why are they all grandchildren?
It was because the old pious woman forced her daughter-in-law to give birth to a child, and she had to give birth to a grandson, and all the granddaughters who gave birth drowned and the grandchildren who gave birth were left behind.
Several daughters-in-law were tortured to death, and the old Wang family had to lose money, and the more they lost, the poorer they became.
There are also some people who make up their minds and think about marrying their daughters, and then when the time comes, they will wait for their daughters to die, and then go to blackmail money.
But I heard from the matchmaker that the old Wang family asked for a dowry of ten taels of silver, and they all scolded Mrs. Wang for being a black-hearted person.
This delay, Wang Chuanman was delayed from 16 years old to 20 years old, and the old Wang family was so anxious that they couldn't do it, but it was rumored like that outside, and there was no way to clean it up.
Suddenly, one day, a little girl came to Hujia Village, found Mrs. Wang tremblingly, and said to Mrs. Wang: "Our family is very poor, and we can't afford a dowry of ten taels of silver, and we don't have a dowry. If I marry your family as a daughter-in-law, if I die in the future, I will not take your family's money, how much bride price can you pay? ”
Mrs. Wang had long had no hope for Wang Chuanman's family affairs, and said angrily: "Fart!" Give 10 catties of food to the sky! ”
Unexpectedly, the little girl's eyes lit up, and she mustered up the courage to say, "Then, I will marry your family!" ”
This little girl was Liu, who was 18 years old at the time.
Now, the old Wang family is talking about relatives, and they have offended a matchmaker again.
The people of the old Wang family were a little desperate.
Did their family have a fight with the matchmaker?
