Chapter VI

At the end of January, when the wages were paid, 60 silver dollars were issued this month, and the number of them was kicked into their pockets, which was really heavy, and there were many people in BJ City who didn't even have 10 silver dollars in a month.

"This month's salary, I can buy a lot of things."

"That's thanks to you, I have to go to Carpenter Lu to see how things are doing."

"Let's go." "How's your search for someone, do you want me to introduce you?"

"It's great that you have a matchmaker you know."

"Well, I know that one, I'll take you there later, what kind of do you want first."

"You're bothered, I thought about 16, 7, the long one should be good-looking, and it was better to be broad-minded."

"Big-hearted?"

I gestured to my chest, "Broad-minded." ”

"Oh~, you pick a daughter-in-law!"

I didn't look at him and said, "My standard is very good, if you are not happy, I will go to the homeless people to find it." ”

"I'm waiting."

"Alas, you are busy, not in a hurry, I am not in a hurry, not in a hurry at all."

Wait for Brother Qiu to finish paying his wages and collect his things: "Let's go!" ”

"Please, please!"

After a few alleys, I came to a second courtyard, and there were many women in the courtyard, and when they saw us, they all ran back and looked at us through the cracks in the door.

"Qian Matchmaker, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"It turned out to be Qiu Ye, today, I said why is the magpie calling this morning, it turned out to be Qiu Ye, what does Qiu Ye have to care about, please say."

"Qian Matchmaker, do you still want me to take care of it, I look at this courtyard, you don't look like you lack people's care."

"I just make a matchmaker's money, these girls haven't found a good family, don't I also care about a bowl of rice?"

"I don't know you yet, but I'm coming, my brother, to pick someone from you who can take care of people." "Hurry up and talk about your standards with the money matchmaker."

"Qian Matchmaker, that's the case, I want a 16, 7, good-looking, preferably broad-minded." After speaking, make a gesture on your chest.

"Got it, I have two suitable ones, you can take a look first."

"I'm tired."

I saw Qian Matchmaker enter the house and bring out two girls, one with a round face and two big and watery eyes; The other is looking forward to shining and sultry. They also share a big heart.

"It's time for you to come, one is called Aiqin, and the other is called Danniu, both of whom came yesterday."

"You're all that guy, huh?"

"They are all from Zhangjiakou, Hebei, their family suffered a disaster a few years ago, and now I heard that her father put the girl here and went back with his son."

"Then you're in charge."

"Of course, you have a crush on that."

I pointed to the sultry girl.

"Aegean," "Okay, go back to the house!" ”

After the two girls entered the house.

"Aiqin, this girl is a good girl, you have to treat others well."

"The money matchmaker is ready, how much do you want?"

"50 silver dollars, you take it."

"That's a lot! 30 silver dollars. ”

"Yo, this is a 16-year-old girl, she looks so iconic, if it weren't for you Qiu Ye, I wouldn't have shown it to ordinary people!"

Brother Qiu looked at me,

"Qian matchmaker, a 16-year-old girl has 40 silver dollars, and she looks like a logo plus 5 silver dollars, okay, let's find a guarantor."

"Okay, for the sake of Qiu Ye's face, 45 silver dollars is 45 silver dollars, I'll go and call someone to be a guarantor."

"Cheng, if I go back this time, there won't be any problems at her house, right?"

"Look at what you said." After speaking, he went into the house and took out a note, "Her father made a note when he left." ”

I picked it up and wrote:

According to the word Qian Xiaoguo, now because the family is difficult, life is weak, because of the love and righteousness, his daughter is named Aiqin, now 16 years old, born on July 24, willing to give Liu Xingye upbringing, to avoid the suffering of cold and hunger, for the slave and the future after the elderly, or for the choice of marriage or that is, the concubine is by the master's own convenience, if the woman is unfortunate or died of illness, or was abducted and disappeared, so it has nothing to do with the master, empty mouth, and the letter as evidence.

"Look, what Qian Matchmaker is doing is to make people feel at ease."

"We also have a reputation, this guarantor, do you see the second master of Song at the mouth of the alley?"

Brother Qiu said, "Okay, you go and call, we are waiting here." ”

Hearing Brother Qiu's words, Qian Matchmaker went out to find a guarantor.

"Recently, the situation in this city is not right, President Li and Premier Duan are not in harmony, even the mud legs on the side of the road know, I don't know when the fight will start, and the family must order food on time!"

"How much is the wheat in the owner's house?"

"Although buying at the owner's house is not like 5.14 silver dollars a stone outside, it will cost 3.81 silver dollars a stone."

I counted the money in my hand and said, "I want two stones."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to move back later."

While speaking, Qian Matchmaker came in with Song Erye, greeted each other, sat down to make a note, and all parties signed.

Seeing that the note had been established, the money matchmaker went into the house and brought Aiqin out, Aiqin had already put away her things in the house, and walked out empty-handed, I saw that she didn't take anything empty-handed, and asked Aiqin: "Do you have nothing?" ”

"Aiqin, her dad didn't leave anything for her."

Aegean stood uneasily, with his head bowed and silent.

"Got it, okay, see you later." "Let's go, keep up!"

"Okay, okay, see you back, be careful on your way!"

Brother Qiu and I walked in front, Aiqin followed behind, I stopped suddenly, Aiqin also stopped immediately, I suddenly ran, she also hurriedly followed, I looked at her, took her hand, she still wanted to hide, caught, she didn't move. I walked up to Brother Qiu:

"Brother Qiu, you're smiling!"

"It's okay, don't play anymore, I'll go back first, you take your time!"

"You're laughing!"

Back in the warehouse, Brother Qiu asked Lao Zhang to load two stones of wheat, and after Lao Zhang finished loading, Brother Qiu added a lot, about half a stone, and was paying for it.

"Give 7.6 yuan, and the mantissa will be touched!"

"Okay, thank you!"

"Wang Wenwen, we'll move you back."

"Then it's tiring!"

Lao Zhang called a board car at the door and asked a few laborers to move into the car.

"Wang Wenwen, okay, you go first!"

I'm not welcome, I took the lead, and went to the carpenter's house first,

"You guys wait outside first."

"You're busy, we're waiting for you here"

"Thanks!" "Carpenter Lu, Carpenter Lu, are you at home?"

"Yo, you're here, I'm looking for you."

"If you don't come to me again, then your reputation will stink."

"You Haihan, Haihan, you take a look at things first, we have put a lot of effort into it."

"Okay, let's see!"

Carpenter Lu, take me to the furniture, hey, the craftsmanship is really good, the flowers, birds, fish and insects depicted are lifelike.

"Yes, Carpenter Lu, come here for the final payment, you order."

"Haven't I believed you?" The hand work did not stop.

"You're going to help me get my stuff back!"

"Wait, I'll call someone"

After a while, Carpenter Lu took a group of young men, "You know, I'll go first"

"Alright, alright, I'll be right then."

went out and arched his hand to Lao Zhang: "I've been waiting for a long time."

"You're welcome!"

Continuing to take Lao Zhang home, Lao Zhang beckoned the boss of the board car to move the grain in and put it away, and I asked the boss of the board car: "How much?" ”

"No, no, no money."

"No money, it's his honor to help you do things!"

I asked again if I didn't want money, and the boss of the board car looked at Lao Zhang and said that he didn't want money. I nodded and said, "That's okay, trouble Lao Zhang!" ”

"You're polite, I'll go back first!"

"Well, okay!"

Carpenter Lu took the people to put the furniture away and left. I looked at the house, and finally I had a home appearance, and I asked Aegean if she would make cold noodles with tahini?

"I haven't eaten tahini at home, so I won't"

"No," she looked at me pitifully, "I will, do you want me to teach you?" ”

Nodding,

Hahahaha
