Chapter 5 Matchmaking

In the spring of 983 in the Taikang calendar, everything began to recover, and people began to get busy for the new year.

On this day, the daughter-in-law of the second room brought a local matchmaker, Granny Li, to Yang's house.

"Granny Li, you drink tea first, I'll call the third child of our family, you wait. Cai, the daughter-in-law of the second room, said.

"Okay, you go and call, I'll take a look at it. ”

Cai went out of the room, went to find his mother-in-law Jia, and took his mother-in-law Jia to the field to find the third child, Ah Kai.

Granny Li, standing in the courtyard, holding tea in her hand, looked at the newly built house seriously, there is a stone carving at the door, and it looks quite magnificent. At least in the neighborhood, it is still quite a good family, and it is said that this family is connected to the capital and can be exempted from military service.

Ordinary people have no threshold, but the Yang family has a threshold, and it is quite tall and wide, and only some large families or government governments have such a style.

The inside of the house is made of regular stones, with roof beams on top and covered with tiles, so that there will be no heavy rain outside and light rain inside.

Granny Li is also very satisfied with it, such a family, this matchmaker looks like she has a good money, and she can also get a good reputation.

"Granny Li, I've been waiting for a long time," the second aunt Cai came over with a smile, "Come, I've called my mother-in-law and the third child." ”

He was followed by a white-haired mother-in-law, who was in good spirits, and a young man, who looked a little dodgy in his eyes, but he was relatively thin.

The group walked into the house, Jia and Granny Li sat on the head, and Cai and Lao Sanfen sat on both sides.

"This is the third child," Granny Li smiled, "People have lost some weight, and the others are good." ”

"The main thing is that there is Granny Lao Li," Jia said with a smile, "The third child in my family is all good, but he is more honest and shy when he sees girls, so he has delayed the marriage until now." ”

"It's rare to be pure, now the young men are frizzy, and the third is really good, and now people are looking for a son-in-law, they like to find a hard-working and down-to-earth. Granny Li said,

"There is a Zhan family in the east three miles, and there is a girl named Zhan eldest sister in his family, who is 18 years old this year, is the eldest in the family, and has no character, sensible, obedient, hardworking, and filial. ”

"There are such people, is what Granny Li said true?" asked Jia.

"Old sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll take my second aunt over first in the next few days, and then you will know if what I said is true," Granny Li looked at the third child and asked, "What does the third child want to find, tell me, I can also measure and find the one you like." ”

"I can do it all, listen to my mother's arrangement, listen to my second sister-in-law's arrangement, and listen to my mother-in-law's arrangement. The third replied.

Granny Li looked at the third child, then at Jia's family, and smiled.

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, we won't treat you badly, and it is a great good thing to get married. Jia said.

"When I heard the third child say this, I felt more confident in my heart, this eldest sister Zhan and the third child are really a match made in heaven. The mother-in-law looked at Jia's family, "I won't hide it from you, this Zhan family, life is relatively difficult, this eldest sister is really good, hardworking, sensible and famous, taking care of her younger siblings." ”

"Because she is too sensible, she doesn't read and write, and she does everything inside and outside the house. Because of the poverty of the family, it looks thin, but the work is one of the top two. The mother-in-law took a sip of tea.

"They also have a younger sister and two younger brothers. ”

"Since that's the case, then it's bothering Granny Li. Jia got up and took out some food in the back hall, "Granny Li has some snacks." ”

"Then you're welcome. Old sister-in-law, don't worry, I will make this good marriage. Granny Li took a piece of snack and put it in her mouth, and said continuously, "It's delicious, it's delicious." ”

Jia Shi immediately packed the remaining dim sum in a bag, handed it to Granny Li, and said, "If you like it, take it back and eat it slowly." ”

"Then what's the matter, eat and take," Granny Li took the dim sum in her hand, "I should leave too, there are still several families to leave, and I have been busy recently." ”

"Alright, I'll send you. Jia Shi stood up and said

"Slow send, slow send, I'll go first, you stay. Granny Li walked out of the threshold and left.

Looking at Granny Li, who was walking away, Jia said to Cai's family in the second room, "You find a time to go to that Zhan's house early, there is nothing to be poor, the main thing is to have a good character, and the third child is also honest, if you get an troubled daughter-in-law to come over, I won't be bitter at that time." ”

"Don't worry, mother, I'll go and see tomorrow, and I'll inquire about it, what kind of person this eldest sister is, I will tell you clearly. Cai said.

As soon as Granny Li left the door of the Yang family, she went straight to the Zhan family, which was three miles away.

The Zhan family, the head of the family, Zhan Yongyong, and the daughter-in-law He Xiaohua.

Zhan was always a craftsman, making up some frames to live, and before He, he had a wife who died of illness.

The He family is not Zhan Yong's original partner, and the He family also has a man with the surname Rao and the name Agui. This Agui is a prodigal child, and he is usually lazy to eat.

Ah Gui and He had two boys and one girl.

After Agui fell ill and died, He took two boys to marry Zhan Yongyong, and the girl gave it away.

The current Rao Agui's eldest son Rao Zaihao has just gotten married recently, and the second son Rao is the first, so he wants to be honest and has not yet married a wife.

For Zhan Yong, giving the Rao brothers a home is also worthy of his wife He, after all, Zhan Yongyong and He also gave birth to two boys and two girls, and there are a lot of things in their own family.

The eldest daughter of the Zhan family, Sister Zhan, is the woman who is to be introduced to Yang Akai, as the matchmaker said, she is hardworking and sensible, and she will be a good wife and mother. Children Zhan Lanmei, eldest son Zhan Xiaohong, younger son Zhan Xiaoping.

"Eldest sister, mother, you are still busy, I brought good news," Granny Li said to the Zhan family's daughter-in-law He Shi as she walked, "The Yang family I mentioned to you before, I went to see it today, the house is also beautiful, and the young man also looks honest, and it is a perfect match for your eldest sister." ”

He Shi listened, hurriedly moved out of the stool for Granny Li to sit on, and said to the inner room, "Sister, come over to make a bowl of tea." ”

The eldest sister came out with tea, and Granny Li looked at the eldest sister and said, "Eldest sister, mother-in-law can find you a mother-in-law's house, okay?"

"I just came out of the Yang family, the new house is magnificent, their family came from the capital before, and they can be exempted from military service, that's a big deal, our county master can't be exempted. ”

"Listen to your parents, listen to your mother-in-law. The eldest sister replied.

"Okay, if you say so, I will definitely do this good thing. Granny Li looked at He and said, "Sister, what do you think, the eldest sister is also eighteen." ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I'll talk to his dad at night and I'll talk back to you then, okay, after all, marriage is a big deal, we need to discuss it. Ho said.

"It's okay, this is normal, the Yang family is the mother who is in charge, they have expressed their position, there is no problem. Granny Li said, "Then I'll go back first, and I'll come over tomorrow when I'm free, and you can call back then." ”

"Okay," Ho replied.
