Time travel from the red building

Chapter 16 16. Engaged

Aunt Li said: "The girl I'm talking about has a bit of a hard life. Both her parents died in her early years and she was sold to a wealthy family as a slave and served by the wife of that family. Last year her sister found her and redeemed her. , originally wanted to come to our place to visit relatives, but the relatives moved away, and the two of them didn't know where to go, so they just settled here. Her sister became a monk in the early years and entered the Taoist school. Money, not to mention the house and shop, I also bought her a few hundred acres of land. That girl is common to me. She has a good temperament and kindness. She is good at sewing and can make rouge and gouache. Clean and well-shaped, with thick eyebrows, big eyes and high nose bridge, I promise you will like it at the first sight..."

When the auntie heard that the girl had been someone else's maid, she felt a little hesitant in her heart. She didn't hide anything in her heart, so she showed it on her face. When Aunt Li saw it, she couldn't help being a little embarrassing, feeling that her good intentions had been let down.

On the contrary, the uncle is well-informed and doesn't mind these things. He explained to the uncle: "If you work in a rich family and can be with your wife, which one has no real skills? And he can read and write, knows the height of his eyebrows, and has knowledge Her vision is stronger than that of ordinary girls who are pampered by other people, and our Changsong has a colder temper, if this girl is really gentle and appropriate, the two of us will be compatible."

Changsong is the younger brother mentioned by Aunt Li. He is also surnamed Li and his name is Changsong. Their family is related to Aunt Li's family in Wufu. The two families are neighbors and have a close relationship. Will think of their home first.

Uncle Li understood clearly, as the saying goes, "It is better to marry a slave of a big family than a daughter of a small family". That is good people. According to Aunt Li's words, the girl's family has no relatives. Although she has no help, she is not a burden, and she has a small family. Such conditions are considered to be the best in the current selection of candidates for Changsong. Yes, uncle is still very interested.

Since Uncle Li agreed, even if the auntie still has some pimples, she can't refute, so she can only nod her head and agree. Cancellation, really approved this candidate.

The two parties agreed, and set a time to go to the West Lake. After the two parties met, Aunt Li and Aunt Li talked about the old days affectionately. Knowing what they are here for, even if they are mentally prepared before going out, they are still in a hurry when they arrive, not knowing what to say.

After all, Li Changsong is a man, he is more courageous than Yunxi, and he said hello: "Hello, girl. Miss also came to visit the lake with the elders to enjoy the scenery?"

Yunxi blushed, took a few sneaky glances at Li Changsong, and said yes in a low voice, Li Changsong said again: "Now that winter is not over, and the weather is still cold, girl, go this way, and I will help you to protect yourself from the wind."

Yunxi lowered her head and moved over. The two struck up conversations back and forth. They were very reserved at first, but after a few more words, they got better. They chatted tentatively for a while, but the conversation was quite speculative. When the aunt turned her head to look at them, she saw that there was a distance of one meter between the two of them. You were talking to each other, and the expressions seemed to be quite harmonious. They could be called a couple, and they looked at each other. , Feeling that this marriage is interesting, they all smiled with satisfaction.

After the goal was achieved, Aunt Li was about to leave. Today, the wind blowing by the lake is really cool, so it's better to go back to the house and stay comfortably. She was about to say goodbye to the auntie, but the auntie pulled Yunxi to give him a hard meal Praise, Mrs. Li said it two or three times before letting go.

Yun Qing was watching from a distance, seeing that Li Changsong was very active towards Yunxi, and his parents and seniors were also very enthusiastic, so he was very satisfied with their attitude.Although she has never been on a blind date, she has heard a lot of jokes about blind dates. Generally speaking, as long as the man is interested, he will actively contact the woman. , Judging from Li Changsong's performance, he should be satisfied with Yunxi.

After arriving home, Yunqing asked Yunxi for his opinion, Yunxi nodded shyly, and got feedback from Aunt Li, and Li Changsong was very satisfied. Considering that both the man and the woman are not young, the man hopes to get engaged and get married as soon as possible.

Yunxi is twenty this year, and Li Changsong is 21. In today's world, he is really old. Even in the era before Yunqing, Yunxi was old enough to get married. She doesn't intend to really keep Yunxi as an old girl, since If the candidate is suitable and both parties are willing, then engagement and marriage should be put on the agenda.

Since the two families want to get married, they can't just rely on Aunt Li, an unprofessional person. The Li family's affairs are fairly comprehensive. Although they didn't invite official media, they also found a well-known private media to come to propose marriage, because the two have long been married. There was a tacit understanding, when the matchmaker came to the door, Yun Qing was not embarrassed, he just rejected it once according to the rules here, and agreed the second time, after the matchmaker replied to the man, he sent a few dates soon, Yun Qing chose On March [-]th, the two families officially became engaged.

When the matchmaker came to the door, the sister-in-law Zhang next door knew about it. She was very depressed. Obviously her cousin is not bad, so why didn't the neighbor next door like it?She was puzzled and somewhat unconvinced, so she simply asked out while chatting.

What can Yun Qing say?It's hard to say that Yunxi didn't like it, so he simply lied: "There's nothing wrong with your cousin, it's just that he doesn't fit well with my sister, and two people being together is not good for your heirs."

Sister-in-law Zhang suddenly realized, and agreed: "That's why we shouldn't be together. Children and heirs are the top priority, so don't be careless."

Later, sister-in-law Zhang spread the word, which meant that her cousin was very good, so she came over curiously to ask why the others were eliminated. Point out the ones that really disagree with Yunxi, and keep silent to other people, smart people will know what it means, and stop asking those who don't understand.

Someone introduced a girl to Sister-in-Law Zhang’s cousin, and Sister-in-Law Zhang specially took out the horoscope and asked Yun Qing to look at it, for fear of any hindrance, Yun Qing couldn’t refuse, so she could only put it in an ugly way: “It’s wrong to tell people’s fortunes.” Leak the secret, no matter how much you have to pay me, otherwise it will be bad for you and me."

Sister-in-law Zhang knew that the fortune teller had many rules, so she didn't care at all when she heard the words. She took out a tael of silver and asked Yun Qing if it was enough. , although she is not so famous, she is also unwilling to do the fortune telling for others easily, but she doesn't say much at this time, she will give her the fortune after receiving the money, and finally tell her: "These two horoscopes are a good match made by nature. The phase of helping each other is an excellent marriage.”
