The Lantern Festival is no different from usual during the day, and I have seen this lantern festival several times, but now I am not so looking forward to it.
So when Liu Qingsong came back from herding sheep in the morning, Lin He asked him to carry a bag of soybeans and go to the city together.
Xie Matchmaker ran to their house for half a year, and Lin He naturally knew where her family lived, a small courtyard with many nearby residents.
I used to be quite curious, but now I know that if what I said before is true, then she must be living alone as a woman, and if she lives in an area with few people, it will be very dangerous.
"Brother Hui, you don't have to go with me today, you go to the edge of the pond to watch them dig lotus roots, I estimate that Xie Jiang will also come over in a while, Changqiang is not at home for half a month, and he will also find you to reconcile."
Liu Qingsong drove the carriage over, and Lin He motioned for him to carry a bag of soybeans to the carriage, which was a stepping stone.
"Go ahead, come back early."
Lin He got into the carriage, Liu Qingsong saluted Li Changhui and drove away, Liu Qingsong rarely goes to the city, and usually works in the field, but Lin He has found out Nanzhi County clearly in recent years.
Under her command, the carriage turned left and right, and soon arrived at the door of Xie Matchmaker's house.
Well, there is no lock on the door, which means that the person is at home and is tied from the inside.
Lin He motioned for Xie Qingsong to wait outside, and stepped forward to knock on the door.
After knocking a few times, I heard a voice from inside that didn't seem to be awake: "Who?" ”
I still seem to be confused.
"It's me, the Li family outside the city, to thank the matchmaker for something."
The voice inside instantly sobered up: "It's Mrs. Li, wait a minute, I'll come over right away." ”
I could even hear the scramble inside, and after a while, the door creaked open, and Xie Matchmaker stood at the door in a well-dressed manner, smiling.
At a glance, she saw Liu Qingsong waiting next to the carriage on the side of the road, and immediately understood what Lin He was doing here, and hurriedly welcomed people into the house.
"Why did Mrs. Li come in person, I heard that the brothers and sisters of the Liu family were treated like their own children, it seems to be true."
Lin He smiled: "It's a bit exaggerated, Qingsong Qingyu was miserable when he was young, and now there is no elder in the family, anyway, I am idle and idle, so I should find something to do for myself." ”
followed Xie Matchmaker into the courtyard and nodded at the corner of his eye.
Xie Matchmaker was stunned for a moment, and after reacting, he quickly wiped the corners of his eyes and wiped a small lump of eye feces, it seems that he really just got up, and he just cared about getting dressed and combing his hair, and he didn't have time to wash his face.
However, Xie Matchmaker didn't care, and led Lin He into the hall with a smile: "Mrs. Li is really early. ”
Touched the teapot on the table, it was cold, too, she had just gotten up, where did she have time to boil water.
Lin He saw that she was going to boil water, so he hurriedly stopped: "Don't be so polite, I'll come and ask where the Wang family you said that day lives, I'll go and see first." ”
Xie Matchmaker saw that Lin He didn't seem polite, so he really sat down directly.
"It's not far, just a corner from our alley, Lao Wang should still be selling tofu at this time, and his daughter-in-law and daughter are at home."
Lin He nodded and wrote down: "I came today, and there is one more thing." ”
Xie matchmaker's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is Master Li's cousin back?" ”
The most diligent thing she went to Li's house that year was for Master Li's eldest son and cousin Liu Dong.
She had seen that girl, she was an honest and virtuous woman, and she had read books, learned to write, and even went to a women's school.
If anyone can marry and go home, they can live a nourishing life with a daughter-in-law and children.
Lin He didn't pretend to be hypocritical: "I came back last night, and now that my aunt has handed over Dong'er's marriage to me, she naturally has to help her take good care of it." ”
As soon as Xie Matchmaker heard this, he knew that big business was coming, and hurriedly asked, "What kind of brother and sister does Mrs. Li want?" I also have a few marriageable men on hand, and I will pick the best one for you. ”
Lin He smiled: "It doesn't have to be the best, but it must be the most suitable." ”
"My cousin is too soft, and I'm worried that she will be bullied at her in-law's house, if Xie Matchmaker has the heart, he can help me find someone with fewer brothers and sisters, a good old man, and a man with a good character and temperament, okay?"
Xie Matchmaker listened carefully, and waited for Lin He to finish speaking before asking: "What about this family?" ”
"You don't need to be rich and rich, just be a little rich, the most important thing is that men must live a down-to-earth life, and the kind of idle people can't do it."
Xie Matchmaker nodded again and again: "This is easy to say, Mrs. Li will wait for two days, and I will be able to give you news soon." ”
"Then there is work, I will help Liu Qingsong go to Wang's house first, if they fall in love with each other, I will have to thank the matchmaker for the benefits."
"You're polite, I'm polite, what I said before is all true, if Liu Qingsong's young man agrees, he promises not to lose!"
Xie Matchmaker sent Lin He out of the door with a smile, and didn't forget to make fun of Liu Qingsong.
In the end, he is a young man, where is Xie Matchmaker who has been through a hundred battles and has been a matchmaker for many years, and his face is hot when he says a few words.
Fortunately, in the past few years, my skin has become tanned, and I can't see it when it's red.
When Xie Matchmaker went back, Lin He motioned for Liu Qingsong to continue walking,
"The Wang family is turning a corner in front, when the time comes, you wait outside, I will go in first, when it is appropriate, I will ask you to send soybeans in."
"Okay."
Originally, Lin He still thought that if he turned a corner, he might not be able to know where the Wang family was, but when he walked a little further, he saw a few bags of bean dregs piled up at the door of a family.
This thing is ripe for Lin He, there are so many pigs at home, and it grows slowly by eating pigweed, so I contacted many tofu brewing companies in the city, as well as some restaurants.
The water from the distiller's grains can be used to feed the pigs.
Liu Qingsong obviously recognized it, and hurriedly stopped the carriage, took the carriage stool and put it aside, and even his voice was a lot nervous: "Mrs. Li, it seems to have arrived." ”
"Don't be nervous, I'll help you ask first, Xie Matchmaker said that only the girl and her mother are at home now, so don't go in."
As he spoke, he got out of the carriage and knocked on the door again.
This time, the voice inside was very fast: "Who? ”
It's a young girl's voice, soft and soft, you can know her character just by listening to the voice, she must be a gentle girl.
I could even hear footsteps, and walked slowly to the back of the door, but I didn't open the door rashly.
Still a vigilant girl.
"I'm from the Li family's farm outside the city, and I heard that your family makes tofu, so I sent some soybeans over and wanted you to help make some tofu."
He didn't deliberately lower his voice, and the neighbors poked their heads out curiously.
One of them seemed to recognize Lin He and shouted in surprise: "Mrs. Li? Mrs. Li, why did you come here in person? ”
Lin He smiled: "It's not okay anyway, I want to make some tofu." ”
There was also a slightly old voice inside: "Xiu'er, who is outside." ”
"Mother, it seems to be the wife of the Li family's farm outside the city."
As he spoke, the door had opened, and an emaciated girl appeared in front of Lin He.
