"Mrs. Wu, my family has complied with the request of the Liu family. You go and spread a word, set an auspicious day, send Geng Ti over, and set the family affairs. ”

In the hall of the Chen family, Chen Wang said to a woman.

This woman's surname is Wu, she is famous in Jing County, she is one of the best matchmakers, with a sharp mouth and a lot of flowers, so there is no family affair that she can't match.

Taking a sip of tea, the corners of Mrs. Wu's mouth curled slightly: "Mrs. Chen, this matter is not easy to handle......

Chen Wang was stunned: "Could it be that the daughter of the Liu family has allowed someone else?"

"Not yet. ”

Hearing this, Chen Wang's family made up his mind: with his son and the crown, and the hopelessness of the imperial examination, he arranged family affairs for his son, and his desire to start a family became stronger and more urgent day by day.

Chen Wang's family had already begun to look for and fell in love with the daughter of the Liu family. This woman is twenty-eight years old, has a good appearance, is literate, and is quite a good match for San Lang.

Speaking of the Liu family, across the street from the Chen family, there is still a bit of friendship between the world. When he was a child, Chen Sanlang played with the daughter of the Liu family, and in layman's terms, he was a "childhood sweetheart". It's just that later the two families became estranged and slowly broke off their relationship.

With a suitable candidate, Chen Wang's family asked Mrs. Wu to come forward to say goodbye, and the lion on the Liu family's side opened her mouth, and the hiring fee was enough to ask for 200 yuan, so that she would not be embarrassed.

Two hundred taels is equal to two hundred taels of silver, which is not a small amount. It's not that the Chen family can't take it out, it's just that after taking out such a large amount of money, if they want to make a living in the future, they are stretched thin, and it is a little difficult to turnover.

As a result, the matter was delayed.

However, now, seeing that Chen Sanlang has many abnormal changes, and even a bit of willful nonsense, Chen Wang is very worried about this, and feels that the matter of marriage cannot be delayed, so he invited Mrs. Wu to come over and promised a dowry of 200 yuan.

I hope that after the wedding, Chen Sanlang can be separated in peace.

I haven't told Chen Sanlang about this yet, but the man should get married and the woman should get married, which is a common ethics, and it is enough to have the words of the matchmaker with the order of the parents.

"Mrs. Wu, please speak clearly. ”

Mrs. Wu smashed her lips: "Mrs. Chen, it's not that I have a long tongue, it's just that San Lang's behavior has been very abnormal recently." ”

Jing County's slap is big, and the city stinks with a fart, and Chen Sanlang's actions can't be concealed at all.

Chen Wang's frowned, his eyes flashed with worry, and he muttered: "What does the Liu family mean?"

Mrs. Wu stretched out a slap and waved her five fingers: "Master Liu said that the bride price should be this amount before he is willing to marry his daughter." ”

"What, five hundred times!"

Chen Wang shouted in a lost voice: Where is this to marry a daughter, selling a woman is almost the same - it can't be sold so expensive!

"Mrs. Wu, can't you say something nice about Master Liu?"

For matchmakers, Chen Wang's family did not give red envelopes.

Mrs. Wu called out to hit Tianqu: "My saliva is dry, but Master Liu and Mrs. Liu just refuse to let go, and the old body really has no choice." ”

Chen Wang was annoyed.

If the bride price of 200 yuan can barely be agreed, then 500 yuan is really the bottom line. What's the point of marrying the daughter of the Liu family into the door, but making the family bankrupt?

The Chen family, after all, is not one of those wealthy families, it can barely be regarded as a well-off family.

After thinking about it, Chen Wang decided to talk to the Liu family in person, so he asked Uncle Hua to invite someone over.

It was not Mr. Liu who came, but Mrs. Liu, who was over forty years old, with a tense face and not much smile.

After the guests and hosts sat down and exchanged pleasantries for a while, Chen Wang went straight to the point and asked Mrs. Liu to make some concessions on the bride price - Master Liu was afraid of guilt, as long as Mrs. Liu nodded, the matter would be settled.

Mrs. Liu smiled: "Sister Chen, don't talk nonsense. My Mei'er should have good looks, a female red, virtuous and virtuous, no less than the bride price, and family affairs should also be beautiful and decent. ”

Chen Wangshi said with a bitter face: "But didn't you originally say that it was two hundred runs?"

"At this time and that time, San Lang can be in the limelight now, he can't learn, and he still wants to learn martial arts, not too much...... How can we trust our daughter to marry us?"

Mrs. Liu said frankly.

Chen Wang's heart slandered: Don't worry about marrying a daughter? It is clear that he wants to sell it and desperately ask for a bride price. In the city, the Liu couple had long been known for their snobbery. Raising a daughter is like planting a cash cow, and if you don't make enough money, you will never let go.

After some hard pleading, but Mrs. Liu didn't have the slightest intention of giving in, she was tired of begging, and said coldly: "Sister Chen, some things are said to be broken and angry, and the face is not good-looking, don't blame me for confessing." Saburo had no hope of studying and broke off his career. Originally, my Mei'er categorically would not agree to marry him, but thinking of the past relationship between the two families, he reluctantly agreed. But look at these days, what has San Lang done? Messy, I met him the day before yesterday, his body is so thin that he can't help the wind, it's like a sick man, but I don't want my daughter to just enter the door, she has to do **, and make jokes for no reason. ”

That's a very mean thing to say.

Chen Wang's eyelids kept jumping when he heard this, and he argued: "Yuan Er is a scholar, and his body has always been like this. ”

-- The Xia Yu Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, so it raised more scholars who were not diligent in their limbs and could not help but be weak.

Mrs. Liu scoffed: "Okay, everything that needs to be said is finished." In a word, if you want to marry my daughter, you have to go five hundred times. You can also ask Mrs. Wu how many people have a fancy for Mei'er. ”

The latter sentence is true, but there are few who can come up with such a generous bride price. In general, the bride price is within 100 percent, let alone a poor family. The only exception is the rich king in the west of the city, who is willing to pay two hundred times. It's just that the rich man Wang, who is a widower, just celebrated his 51st birthday this year, and he is a little too old.

After some comparison, Mrs. Liu still thinks that it is more decent for her daughter to marry the young Chen Sanlang.

Although Chen Sanlang can't go to school and is destined not to be an official, he is better than he is young, and his appearance is not bad. Plus some family background, don't have to live a hard life.

Besides, Chen Sanlang has a pedantic personality and does not know how to calculate and operate, after his daughter marries, he presides over the family, and he is the status of the master mother.

Originally, the last time Mrs. Wu came to the door to propose, as long as the Chen family promised a bride price of 200 yuan, the marriage could be completed. However, Chen Wang's family saw that the amount of the bride price was too large, so he did not agree for a while. Thinking that after some time, the Liu family will reduce some requirements as appropriate.

Unexpectedly, during this period, Chen Sanlang had an accident and behaved strangely for no reason. Beware of the urgency to propose again, the market has doubled and soared.

From 200 to 500, Mrs. Liu has a reason. Chen Sanlang's actions have been criticized and his reputation has been greatly damaged. Anyway, I didn't make a note before, so if the price doesn't increase at this time, when will it be?

As for Chen Sanlang's health problems, his face is yellow and thin, and he is indeed weak. However, his original body is not much better, and the term "weak scholar" is not called indiscriminately. Besides, with a bride price of 500 yuan, Mo said that if he marries a weak scholar, even if he marries an old man who is about to die, he will agree to a little.

Mrs. Wu spoke at the right time: "Mrs. Chen, the daughter of the Liu family is dignified and an ideal candidate. A physiognomist showed her the eight characters, full of wangfu. Maybe after marrying her, San Lang will be determined, and maybe he will be able to go to school and get a show. ”

Chen Wang's family was greatly moved, and the 500 yuan dowry was like a mountain pressing on his back, heavy, making people almost hopeless.

You must know that in the marriage, the bride price is only a part, and the next series of etiquette, wine banquets, etc., also cost a lot.

Or, talk to Yuan'er and make a decision.

"Mother, don't do such a family thing, we can't afford to marry. ”

Indifferent words came from outside the door, and Chen Sanlang was standing there. Seeing that he was covered in ashes, he should have come back from the martial arts hall.

Hearing this, Mrs. Liu jumped up: "There is no sincerity at all, what are you talking about with me?"

Yelled, brushed his sleeves and left.

Mrs. Wu said something about the scene, and also said goodbye and left.

After they left, Chen Wang came to Chen Sanlang and asked, "Yuan'er, what are your plans?"

Chen Sanlang smiled and said, "There is no grass at the end of the world, don't worry." He doesn't want to spend any time on this at all, and he doesn't care about the so-called Tsunatsu ethics.

Belch!

Chen Wang felt that his son seemed to have changed and became assertive. After thinking about it, I also feel that it makes sense: That's it, if you can't marry the daughter of the Liu family, does your son have to be beaten as a single?

By the way, although the daughter of the Li family in the east of the city is a little worse looking, she is also passable......

Soon, Chen Wang's family had a new idea - to do things for their son, but every mother in the world is most enthusiastic about it. If there is no satisfactory result, we will not give up.

Leaving the Chen family and turning the street, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Wu suddenly got together again and talked in a low voice:

"Mrs. Liu, the bride price is so high, I'm afraid that the Chen family won't agree. ”

Mrs. Wu said worriedly.

Mrs. Liu's face was ruthless: "I have a reason." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Mrs. Wu, the matchmaker said that the matter of parenting, our Jing County is controlled by your old man, you just need to spread the news that Chen Sanlang is sick, whose daughter dares to marry him......"

The voice was low and inaudible.

Mrs. Wu nodded again and again when she heard this.

After that, Mrs. Liu took out a red envelope: "I won't let you do things in vain." ”

Mrs. Wu pinched the red envelope and checked it, which was quite weighty, and a smile appeared on her face.

Mrs. Liu said again: "After some time, you will go back to Chen's house and tell Wang Chen that the bride price can be reduced to three hundred yuan, and it will be up to her to see if she agrees." ”

Mrs. Wu was overjoyed: "Mrs. Liu's clever plan." ”

One vertical and one capture, just in the hearts of the people. It seems that the Liu family also knows that the bride price of 500 guan is too ridiculous and is destined to be unsuccessful, so the real goal is 300 guan.

Three hundred taels of white silver, many families can't save so much in their lifetime, but the Liu family only needs to marry a daughter, and they get it.

Terrible.

The next day, a piece of news spread in Jing County: it turned out that Chen Sanlang was suffering from a serious disease, and his body was withered, so he had to drink ginseng soup every day to tonify...... It is said that the Chen family still wants to marry Chongxi, which is very unlucky.

Hearing these rumors, Chen Wang's family was angry and helpless, and asked the matchmaker to propose marriage, but as soon as they heard that the man was Chen Sanlang, they immediately shook their heads and waved their hands and turned away.

"If you go on, it's really hard for Yuan'er to marry someone, what should I do?"

People's words are terrible, and the mouths of all are golden, enough to kill.

Wandering, Chen Wang's heart was haggard, as if he had aged a few years all of a sudden.
