Chapter 2 The Great Day
The next morning, Tang Xiaoqi was woken up early in the morning by the roosters in the yard next door, and had no choice but to go down to the field and start helping the Li family weed and take care of the fields. Tang Xiaojiu carried a bucket full of water on the side and moved it in the direction of the two of them.
There seemed to be a sound of gongs and drums beating in the distance, drifting all the way along the breeze, and you could vaguely hear someone saying something.
"Big girl, it's not good! The matchmaker she came again, not only brought a trumpet and gong, but also brought two strong men to carry a box, and came over after a burst of knocking, I'm afraid that the whole village now knows that your Xiaoqi has made the county order of the family look at it! Aunt Wang next door didn't have time to put down her hoe, and hurriedly ran in and shouted.
Tang Xiaoqi's hand shook, the rake in his hand fell to the ground, and his head felt a buzzing sound again.
"Oh, how is this good, my third child hasn't come back yet, this ...... Oh, what's going on! Li Shi fell to the ground in a bit of a collapse, and almost did it without lifting it up in one breath.
Seeing this, Tang Xiaoqi hurriedly ran over and patted her on the back to help her calm down, she lifted the woodcutter on the side and asked, "How long will it take for them to come over." ”
"It should take a while, this knocking and beating, you have to be polite when you meet someone, it won't take a long time!" Aunt Wang spread her hands and replied bitterly, "Why don't you go over the wall from the backyard, Xiao Qi is such a good girl, you can't let him delay in vain!" ”
"It's fine!" Tang Xiaoqi stuffed the woodcutter to the Li family, and asked Tang Xiaojiu to help her into the house, while he took a rope and a bucket from the yard, filled it with water and hung it at the gate, and picked two incomparably precious green peppers from the vegetable field and tasted them.
"My mother!" Tang Xiaoqi's tears flowed down in a hurry, and he instantly regretted stuffing the chili pepper in his mouth, turned around and took a big gulp of water, breaking the green pepper into three pieces and tearing it open into the pocket on his chest.
"Oh, Miss Tang is overjoyed, you see that our county magistrate has forgiven you for your recklessness yesterday, and said that as long as you are willing to marry obediently to welfare, then this box of land deeds and silver will be yours. Our county commander was the one who went to the palace to try back then, it was one of the best in glory, plus it was a match with the girl's birthday, the two of you were a match made in heaven! The matchmaker walked over slowly and leisurely with a howl all the way, for fear that someone would not know that Tang Xiaoqi was the girl that the county order had taken a fancy to, for fear that Tang Xiaoqi would marry off accidentally, but she didn't expect that as soon as she opened the door of Tang Xiaoqi's house, she was drenched with a bucket of well water.
"Ah......" Cuixi Matchmaker's soul was scattered, the orchid fingers pinched the handkerchief and scurried everywhere in fright, and the thick rouge on her face seemed to be untouched and stained with east and west, "Ah! Tang Xiaoqi! Don't be ignorant! You come out for me! ”
Tang Xiaoqi walked out from the firewood stack on the side, leaned on the firewood stack and played with his fingers for a long time, "Hey, you can't stand it just after a little hardship, it seems that you are very insincere, in this case, I don't have to think about it!" ”
Cuixi's matchmaker was not happy when she heard this, and twisted her slightly bloated body and smiled at her: "What...... How can it, I was joking with you just now, I want to tell you that if someone dares to do this to you in the future, you have to stand up as a housewife! ”
"So what should I do?" Tang Xiaoqi raised his head and asked Cuixi matchmaker with a serious face.
"This ...... If anyone dares to do this to you, you will slap her! Cuixi matchmaker leaned over and gently patted her face twice, "Miss Tang is angry!" ”
"I see, you're not enough!" Tang Xiaoqi turned his back and complained, "You will make people feel that I am a good bully!" With that, he turned around and slapped Cuixi's matchmaker in the face with lightning speed, "In this way, I can be the housewife!" ”
The horizontal flesh on Cuixi matchmaker's angry face trembled slightly, but she still teased with a smile: "If that girl becomes a county lady in the future, don't forget to bring the old woman and me a lot!" ”
"Oh, where are you talking, you are not old! He looks like he's thirty years old, and he's really well maintained, with a finger-thick skin. ”
Still smiling, she pretended to be happy and asked, "What do you say, girl!" ”
"One finger thick, one finger thick, as far as one finger, as thick as possible!" Tang Xiaoqi couldn't help but laugh when he saw that her face turned from green to purple and turned to cyan, "Okay, I'm joking, let me see the sincerity of the county order!" ”
Cuixi's matchmaker's face finally softened, "Girl, you are really good at laughing!" Open the box and let the girl see! ”
The two subordinates opened the box, and the glittering head and silver inside were lifesavers for Tang Xiaoqi now, and he had to find a way to get this box of things.
"Girl, how do you look!"
"Well, it's pretty good, let's put things down first, I'll think about it later!"
"Oh, what else to consider, such a good thing, what is there to consider!"
"But marriage has always been the order of the parents first, the words of the matchmaker last, my father is not at home now, my mother's body is not good, I really can't be the master of the house!" Tang Xiaoqi came to Cuixi matchmaker as a difficult cheek.
"Then we'll visit you another day!" Finally breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the mixture of sweat and water dripping from her forehead with an equally wet handkerchief, and turned to leave.
Tang Xiaoqi smiled slyly and shouted loudly: "I'm thinking about it, but I didn't agree now!" "I'm afraid that the onlookers at the door won't hear it.
After the matchmaker left, Tang Xiaoqi's cousin Tang Xiaowu mocked in a weird way: "It's your blessing that the county order can marry you, you still drag it again and again, you really don't know what to do!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Tang Xiaoqi instantly exploded, rushed out of the house angrily, pointed at her and said: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person, if you think this is a blessing, I will give it to you, what kind of long-tongued woman to learn at a young age, vicious!" ”
Tang Xiaoqi glared at Tang Xiaowu, who was about the same height and size as her, but better than her in dress, and said viciously.
This Tang Xiaowu has been pressed by Tang Xiaoqi since he was a child, he is not as good-looking as her, she is not gentle, and he is not even as capable as her, he has to sarcastically mock her when he gets the opportunity, the original Tang Xiaoqi is also good-tempered, and he never cares about Tang Xiaowu, which has fueled Tang Xiaowu's arrogance over time.
Tang Xiaowu's eyes widened in surprise, it seemed that he had never seen Tang Xiaoqi so high-flying and domineering as he was now, and after holding back for a long time, he finally let out a breath and argued: "Don't marry that old man!" ”
"Yo! Do you see if this is what people say? I dislike people and don't like to marry, but I say that it's a blessing for me to marry someone! Viciousness! Tang Xiaoqi hugged his arms and angrily accused Tang Xiaowu, and the onlookers were like half of the grass on the wall, and finally understood Tang Xiaoqi's difficulties, and began to complain to Tang Xiaowu in a low voice.
Tang Xiaowu's mother was not happy, and stood up and pointed at Tang Xiaoqi's nose and said, "How could such an honest person as the third child and the Li family give birth to such a scum like you......
"I'll go to your mother's eldest and youngest!" Tang Xiaoqi scolded angrily in his heart, "Haven't you heard of respecting the old and loving the young!" Your daughter doesn't even say that she will let me be my sister, and you still expect me to be polite to her, who will give you the usual fault! ”
But he still replied with a smile: "What did the second aunt say, you yourself said that my father and mother are honest, if I am weak, our family will ...... Isn't it bullied to death! ”
As soon as Tang's second daughter-in-law saw her in a few words, she reversed the direction of the wind again, pointed at her and couldn't speak for a long time, and pulled Tang Xiaowu to turn around and leave.
Tang Xiaowu snorted lightly: "It's all scattered, let's disperse!" Thank you for your concern, when my father comes back, he has his own decision, what should he do! ”
After that, he turned around and closed the fence door of the family and walked into the yard, and when he left, he silently complained that the chili pepper he prepared failed to make the face of the matchmaker who had lost his conscience, and he couldn't help but feel a pity to himself.
