Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 136 Happy or unhappy
This protracted voice with a special slightly exaggerated tone made Gu Yu startled, and vaguely guessed who it was, then she turned her head and was surprised again.

The person at the other end of the yard doesn't seem to be seen by yourself, but as long as you blink past, a little savage will come into your eyes.The red clothes and green trousers are exquisitely trimmed. The embroidered shoes under the feet are brighter than those of the older girls. She is not tall, but the red clothes and green trousers are not enough, and she is holding a yellow handkerchief in her hand.Gu Yu shook her head and smiled, this red, green and green outfit was thanks to the yellow matchmaker for being able to wear it.

Huang Matchmaker was shaking the handkerchief in her hand, her waist was already a little thick, but she was still twisting there, her shoulders were also shaking a little as she walked, at this moment she just walked towards this side with three steps.According to her own statement, she is over 30 years old, but some people remember that she said so many years ago, and it is hard to tell whether it is true or false for a while.Anyway, she was like this on weekdays, and everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with her.Her face was powdered and rouged, and her hair was shiny and shiny. Unlike other women in the village who combed their hair with a wooden comb dipped in water, Huang Matchmaker used oil. Who would let the matchmaker get money?

At this time, Huang Matchmaker had already swayed to her face, her face was full of anger and anger, and her face wrinkled, but the powder didn't fall off, "I almost broke the threshold of your house, girl, give us a drink of water!" .”

Gu Yu responded and was about to pour water, Huang Matchmaker pulled her again, squinted her eyes and looked carefully, as if she had set her sights on a piece of goods.

Seeing her occupational disease-like eyes, Gu Yu got goosebumps, quickly broke free from her hand, and went in.

Huang Matchmaker looked behind her again, then turned to Jiang Shi and Xu Qin Shi who were in the yard and said: "I didn't realize that these two girls are so handsome, I knew before that the older one is a top-notch girl." Well, this family is really lucky. The children who come out are better than the other. You see, the two girls are clever, the eldest girl is elegant and quiet, and the eldest and younger are not to mention. Not bad, well done, I don't know how many times I have to go to this yard in the past few years!"

When Xia Zhi heard this, it seemed to be a good thing, and he also leaned forward, "There is still me and me!"

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang was a little amused, and hugged Xia Zhi to the side, and went to pull Huang Matchmaker over to sit down, "There are many children in the room, if you don't mind, let's talk here, okay? Some things can't be allowed The children know that the yard is cool and comfortable anyway."

Huang Matchmaker is not fussy, "I think the room is stuffy, but you have a good idea, sister, just sit here."

Xu Qin asked the yellow matchmaker to sit down, and went to the house to call Wang and Wen. When she came out, she saw that the yellow matchmaker was very interested in the things the three children were playing with.

Xiaomanguyu and Xiaohe stayed in the house, and the adults discussed things at the foot of the tree in the yard.

There are too many people here, everyone knows who this person is, Xiao He pursed her lips and smiled, and rolled her eyes, "It can't be Brother Jing Zhe's business again, I don't know how many times I have run away, I don't know this time Which girl is it again? The rich man mentioned last time is not bad. I don’t know what kind of person Brother Jing Zhe wants to match. Anyway, in the future, he will be selected as a scholar. No wonder there are so many people who want to talk about it. relative."

Gu Yu poked her on the forehead, "What are you messing with, your brother is not married yet, maybe this time it's about Brother Dalin."

Xiao Man shot them a look, "You two are still young, you just say this, just look at it!" After talking about Gu Yu and Xiao He, she laughed, "Even Jin Xuan and Jiang Sheng are also possible. "

The three little girls were guessing wildly in the room, especially Xiaohe and Xiaoman. Xiaoman was over fourteen, and they heard such things a lot on weekdays. Xu Qinshi also told her these jokes on weekdays. After a long time, the marriage will be discussed soon, so I can't help being curious at this time.Xiao He Twelve is no stranger to this kind of thing. Many girls in Zhuangzi have gradually become engaged. Naturally, one day it will be their turn, and there is always an inexplicable throbbing and panic in their hearts.

Gu Yu didn't think about it, she was only 12 years old, if she didn't know anything in the past, even if she had to worry about it, it would take a few years, anyway Qiao'e was not young when she went out, Let's talk about things later.

Just as she was in a daze, Xia Zhi hurried over to grab Gu Yu's hand, "Second Sister, Second Sister, go!"

Xiao Man hugged Xia Zhi up, "My lord, discuss things, why are you messing around! Just like your second sister, you can't stop worrying at such a young age!"

Xia Zhi was struggling, "The matchmaker said to let the eldest sister go to someone else's house, I don't want the eldest sister to go, she asked me just now, second sister, go and drive her away!"

Gu Yu stared at the sky speechlessly, this kid didn't know anything and he was worried about it, was he so fierce in this brat's heart?

Naturally, she couldn't get over this kind of thing, but she moved the stool to the door, and while teasing Xia Zhi, she intentionally or unintentionally watched the movement outside.

Matchmaker Huang had talked about Jing Zhe before, including her, many matchmakers had been to the door, and they were all rejected by Wang. The gold-lettered signboard is not yet smashed.

This time she thought she got a good one, and said again, "Big sister, what a wonderful thing, take a look, I know your family background, although I don't live in a tile-roofed house, it must be good, Jing Zhe That child is still studying, but you are just passable. In the future, he will have to take care of everything when he goes to the scholar exam. How can he succeed if he doesn't have any family background? This time, in this family, the daughter has no choice, and the whole family has raised such a girl , the pain is like something, the head of the family is also enlightened, after the agreement is made, all the expenses of Jing Zhe will be paid by him, and in the future, it will be natural for the son to take care of the pain and take care of the family business. In the future, they will not be themselves Yes, you don't know, there are two embroidery shops in the town, both of which are owned by their family..."

Mrs. Wang felt something was wrong when she heard it. Originally, she couldn't make decisions about what kind of people, but this time she actually talked about this. Hearing this meaning, it's hard to make Jingzhe go there?When she thought of this, her face turned down, "Needless to say, there is no need to discuss it."

Huang Matchmaker took a sip of water, and gave Wang another look, "Don't make a decision so quickly, I'd better ask the head of the family, the other side is very enlightened, and said that if you win a scholar or something, you will still let your daughter come over... "

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Wang kept shaking her head, her face turned green and she almost kicked him away.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jiang was also a little annoyed, "I don't think this matter is reliable. If there is such a thing, if you don't win the exam or something, you can go there. If you get it, you can come here. Isn't it that young lady The only thing is that she can’t come here, right? In fact, even if she is willing to come, Jing Zhe doesn’t need to find such a place, but two shops, can it be done like this? If I were to do such a thing, I wouldn’t agree.”

Huang Matchmaker is used to these things, and she has a thick skin. She didn't feel how shameless she was, and she still shook her pink face and smiled, "It's hard to find such things even with a lantern. I just don't understand." Well, the children in your family are born well, and their talents are also great, but no matter how good they are, they are still in Zhuangzi, and it is difficult to fly to the sky. You also talk about what kind of girl catches the eye, it is inevitable I don't have to run around like this."

With such a sentence, Mrs. Wang really didn't know how to answer. Jing Zhe was almost sixteen, and more and more people proposed marriage every day. Just talking about this yellow matchmaker, I don't know how many times she ran away. It's a pity that Jing Zhe My father still doesn't know whether he is dead or alive, how can he easily agree to his marriage, the world is impermanent, who knows when Jing Zhe will go back again, marrying a wife is a matter of a lifetime, how can it be easy to make decisions .

Just because she was so taken aback, Matchmaker Huang thought it was a scene she had seen before.There is often such a thing, she sees it is appropriate, sometimes the man entrusts it, and she goes there to talk about it, the woman always finds out various dissatisfaction, nothing more than asking the other end to give something more or It's a matter of delay before making a decision, so as not to let others think that he drove his daughter out early. This time the situation is a little different, but it's not too different. Who told someone to raise a good son? Wearing some is also normal.

After being stunned for a moment, Wang calmed down a bit, and sat down, "The child is still young, we can discuss it after his father comes back, and ask him what he thinks."

Seeing what she said, Matchmaker Huang continued to follow along, "If that's the case, then discuss it and give me a correct answer."

Xu Qinshi didn't say anything to Wen Shi, even Huang Matchmaker was anxious.

After the matter was finished, Matchmaker Huang was supposed to leave, but unfortunately, she didn't leave, and drinking water was involved in other things.

Seeing that she didn't leave, Jiang shi kept looking into the room instead, and said with a smile: "Jing Zhe is not here, my kid is not young anymore, so you should pay attention to it, tell me if there is anything suitable in the future, Your matchmaking ceremony is indispensable. There is also Dalin at the other end, which is bigger than these few, and you should also pay attention to it, we don’t want to wait for rich people, honest people in Zhuangzi, as long as they have a passable appearance and temper.”

Huang Matchmaker was a little more cheerful, clapping her hands and laughing, "Did you not say goodbye to the son of the Zheng family?"

Jiang shi laughed, "What kind of son is not a son, it sounds very strange, but don't come to me with such vain courtesy, I feel panicked."

Huang Matchmaker turned around, "The one on the other side of Jingzhe is not good, so don't blame me, big sister. There is another thing that I was entrusted by others, I am afraid that it is not satisfactory, even a family in Daqian Village, I am also To tell you the truth, the family is passable, they live in tile-roofed houses, there are many brothers, there are only five in total, I think the eldest daughter of your family is suitable, so I guess and say."

At this moment, Mrs. Wang is still thinking about the matter of Jing Zhe, and she is already a little upset, so she doesn't think about Xiaoman's affairs.

Seeing her expression, Jiang knew what was going on, smiled and put the work in her hands away, moved over and pulled Huang Matchmaker, "Look at you, I thought I was joking when I asked Xia Zhi just now, but I don't know if it's still a joke." It's really not going to happen, the elder brother's matter has not been settled yet, so it's my younger sister's turn, and besides, it's not too late, Xiaoman is only so old, and there is no need to get married so quickly. I understand, you are used to running Why are you so lazy?"

What Huang Matchmaker said was a little puzzled.

Jiang laughed again, "Otherwise, why do we have to talk about it as a marriage? You can't talk about Xiaoman for Jing Zhe, and you can't talk about Xiaoman for Dalin's Jiang Sheng's Jinxuan. It really can't be Xiaohe and Gu Yu. Think about it too?"

Everyone laughed, and Huang Matchmaker probably felt that this was inappropriate, so she was about to leave with a smile.

Seeing her leaving, Xia Zhi hurried over and asked, "Mother, is it true that this person wants to take eldest sister away, no!"

With an anxious expression on his small face, Xu Qinshi patted him on the back, "Your elder sister really didn't love you for nothing, don't worry, but I can't take you away."

Xia Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head again, and muttered, "It would be great if the second sister came out to drive her away just now."

That night, Mrs. Wang discussed the matter with Li Dequan, "Father, what do you think should be done? Every once in a while, someone will come to the door. Now it's okay to talk about it. If it's two years old, I don't understand at all. Find a reason."

Li Dequan replied in a low voice: "It's better not to let her come. Although we have raised Jingzhe for a few years, we don't know what Master Su will be like when the time comes. Second uncle often goes to the city, and I also I have tried to ask twice, but there is no news, how can we make our own claims."

Mrs. Wang nodded, sighed, and her eyes were a little dazed, "This kid has always been sensible, but I am afraid that he will be wronged. The one I saw is sixteen. , I'm really afraid of delaying him."

The two sighed at each other, but didn't come up with any ideas.

After a while, Li Dequan said: "Now the second uncle also said that it's very chaotic outside, and I'm a little scared when I go out, it's better to stay in my own village, we can't have any mistakes, otherwise we will be stable Some of them can go out and have a look. If it doesn’t work, it’s just to keep them in front of Jingzhe, but... hey, marriage is not the most important thing. Now I’m called Li Jingzhe. I can see that those who have studied for so many years are going to take the exam. Well, you said that if you ask him to go, you can only go under the name of our Li family. If you pass the exam and have nothing to do, it will make people unable to return home. It’s not good if things get big in the future. If you don't let him go, it will really delay this child in a few years..."

When he was in a difficult situation, there was the sound of knocking on the door, and the sound of waking up from insects outside.

The couple quickly opened the door.

Jing Zhe came in, closed the door gently, and knelt down in front of Li Dequan and Wang Shi with a plop.

This move startled them, and hurried to help them, Jing Zhe didn't get up, and knelt on the ground and said: "Father, mother, after I came back today, I knew that Huang Matchmaker had come again, and the family affairs are still in order." In this way, how can I get married? I also know that my parents are in a difficult situation, as long as I come back next time, but I have already made an appointment in the city. As for the future, let's talk about it. "

Mrs. Wang was a little worried, "But in a few years, it will still be like this now, so don't delay."

Li Dequan didn't worry too much, "Cheng, baby, get up quickly, dad promises you."

Jing Zhe still knelt there, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, but he held back stubbornly, "Father, Mother, I have one more thing to ask of you."

Then he said: "I have also studied for so many years. You didn't say anything about the situation at home. If you go to the exam now, you should. It's just me...I still think about my missing father, so... "

After she finished speaking, she burst into tears. Mrs. Wang went over and pulled him up, and patted the child on the back, feeling very distressed. After so many years, she had already regarded him as Jingzhe. Quietly, he didn't say anything, and he couldn't tell anyone else about such a thing, for fear of being overwhelmed.

"Boy, daddy doesn't know anything. You're so old, you can make decisions about your own affairs. No matter what you do, mommy and daddy will support you, huh?"

Jing Zhe said while weeping: "I think that in two years, when I am eighteen, if there is no news at all, I will take the exam as Jing Zhe, and if there are other things, you will all be mine. Father and mother, as long as you don't want me..."

Having said that, I couldn't continue talking, and the three hugged each other and started crying.
