Chapter 87
This Lady Cui also has a well-known identity. She is an iceman, that is, a matchmaker. She often works as a matchmaker for the marriageable families in the neighborhood. There are few people in Suyang City who do not know her, and Shi Hua even more I am familiar with her, because since the year before last, Lady Cui has been coming to my house to act as a matchmaker.
Although Shi Hua pushed back several times with the excuse that her younger brother was still studying and not willing to start a family at that time, Mrs. Cui became more and more courageous with every setback. She was not afraid of dangers and difficulties at all, and she was bound to win over Shi Hua in one fell swoop after repeated defeats. of marriage.
Shi Hua couldn't help but rub the center of her brows, put on a gentle smile, and said to the woman who came up to her: "Yes, Lady Cui has something to do with Uncle Mingzhen?"
Mrs. Cui narrowed her eyes with a smile and said angrily: "You kid, what am I looking for Shen Xiucai? I'm looking for you."
Shi Hua felt helpless and said, "What do you want from me?"
Mrs. Cui smiled and said: "It's a great thing! Wait until I enter the yard to explain it to you in detail."
As she spoke, she stood at the entrance of Shi Hua's courtyard, as if she wanted to go in for a detailed discussion. Seeing that she could not escape, Shi Hua had to force a smile and let her into the courtyard.
Mrs. Cui looked around and praised her as usual: "Miss Shi is very good at running a house. Tsk tsk, this yard is cleaner than my house at home!"
Shi Hua had heard this six times if not five times. She just smiled and then said straight to the point: "It's so late, what does Mrs. Cui want to see me for?"
So Mrs. Cui covered her lips and smiled, and said: "When I came last year, you said that you wanted to support your brother's education, but you were not willing to start a family. Now that your brother is going to take the imperial examination, you should also take care of your own life-long affairs. .¡±
"Miss Shi is now seventeen or eighteen years old, right? Let me tell you, this matter is very exciting. There is no girl in Suyang City who is still unmarried after seventeen or eighteen years old. Anyone who talks about it will make people laugh. Hey! Once you pass this good age, it will be hard to tell people. At that time, all cats and dogs can pick and choose you. Your worth drops again and again. People with good status can't tell you. Those who are not so good will have no way of living. Comfortable? As a girl, it is better to keep your eyes open early, marry a good family, raise a husband and raise children, then you will be happy. Do you think this is the truth? "
Shi Hua opened her mouth several times, but before she could interrupt, Ms. Cui grabbed her hand, patted her affectionately, and said sincerely: "You can be regarded as an aunt who grew up under my watch. The family is in trouble, and your parents left early. You It is really not easy for a girl to take care of her younger brother at such a young age and to provide for him to study. There are not many such sensible girls in the world. My aunt wishes you were my biological daughter. Every time I think of you, I feel heartbroken. Gotta be tight.¡±
"Last year, my aunt told you about a scholar's family in the north of the city, but you refused. Now that scholar has long been married and his wife is pregnant. They are living a good life. My aunt has been thinking about it for a long time, but she still thinks of you. After waiting for a long time, I helped you find another family, Wang Laoer from the east of the city. His family has been a butcher for generations. He has a pair of sons. The younger son is about the same age as you and is also very handsome. With you, It¡¯s the perfect match.¡±
She finished her words in rapid succession, and then said with a smile: "When the time comes, your brother will get another honor, and you will also get married. It will be a double happiness, and it couldn't be more joyful!"
Mrs. Cui patted Shi Hua's hand and smiled like a flower. She couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear. Shi Hua knew the family she was talking about. Wang Lao Er's old mother once came to the hospital to see a doctor. The old man was so sick that he died. She couldn't move, and there was no one to help her. At first, Shi Hua thought she was alone, but after asking, she found out that her son was stingy and refused to take care of things, her daughter-in-law was stingy, and of her two grandsons, one was a gambler and the other was idle all day long. , such a big family actually let the old mother live alone in an old dilapidated house. The old man cried while talking, it was very desolate, that's why Shi Hua had such a deep impression on the family.
Seeing Mrs. Cui praising that family to the heavens, Shi Hua held it in for a long time and suddenly said: "Ms. Cui, maybe my mother is not dead yet."
The smile on Mrs. Cui¡¯s face suddenly froze, like a duck with its neck pinched. It looked a little funny. She opened and closed her mouth awkwardly: "Huh?"
Shi Hua withdrew her hand and said with a very sincere smile: "My hometown is in Qiu County. Maybe my mother has prepared a marriage for me. I am young and can do such a big thing myself." If you can't decide, you still have to listen to my mother. If my mother really decides it, as the saying goes, a woman will not marry two husbands. When the time comes, Ms. Cui will not be able to get the matchmaker's gift, which is the second best. If she ruins your old matchmaker If you have a golden sign, you will be in big trouble."
Mrs. Cui didn't expect this at all. She was speechless by Shi Hua. After holding it in for a while, she immediately asked: "Do you have an older son, a second son and a third son? "
The young man chuckled and said, "Young Master's guess is good. My parents are not particular about naming, and my fourth son is pretty good too."
Just as he was talking, the carriage arrived, and the driver jumped out quickly. Si'er said: "The young master and the other gentlemen will get on the carriage first. It's getting late. Da Liu, please drive more carefully."
The coachman agreed naively, and after the four people got on the car and sat down, he raised his whip and shouted, and the carriage began to run slowly, and ran forward along the long street.
In the carriage, Qian Rui suddenly said: "Junior brother Yan is actually from the capital?"
Hearing this, Yang Ye and Xie Ling also looked over. Yan Shangzhi smiled and said: "Strictly speaking, I am not from the capital. My maternal grandfather's family is in Suyang. Later, because my father wanted me to worship the Master, The family then asked me to live in Suyang, and because I had to take the imperial examination later, I simply moved my household registration to my uncle's house, so I am now a native of Suyang."
Xie Ling thought for a while and said, "I am not from Suyang."
Yan Shangzhi said in surprise: "This is the first time I hear you say that."
Xie Ling explained: "I used to live in Linmaoqiu County. Later, when my hometown was deserted, I fled to Suyang. Doctor Lin and his family helped me, and my household registration was settled in Suyang."
After hearing this, Yang Ye said, "I never imagined that my junior brother would have experienced something like this when he was a child. Why have I never heard of you talking about it?"
Xie Ling smiled and just said: "These are all old things, there is nothing to say."
