The splendid years of a talented lady

Chapter 28
After entering the east room, seeing Su Xiazhi standing on the ground, the matchmaker smiled and walked over: "That's Miss Xia Zhi, right? Auntie is here for you!"

Miss Su was already happy when she heard the matchmaker came to her door, she couldn't be too happy at this moment, she still lowered her head and lowered her eyes, and saluted him: "Wanfu, auntie!"

"Girl, my family name is Gao, and I'm a close neighbor to the Min family. My door is facing the wall of his backyard." The woman helped Su Xiazhi who was saluting, and introduced herself.

"Aunt Gao." Miss Su saluted again and said in her heart: Oh, I'm so sorry!I stole two pumpkins from your house...

Min Lansheng's family didn't have any money left, so she originally wanted to ask her sister for some money, but when she mentioned that she wanted to marry Su Xiazhi, Min Qinglan acted as if she would never agree to it, so the scholar had no choice but to make a desperate move.

My sister was so angry that she no longer cared about his marriage, and he couldn't bring up the matter of money anymore.After much deliberation, I had no choice but to send the two pieces of bacon brought by Su Xiazhi to Gao's house. After explaining my intentions, I begged Aunt Gao, who was not a matchmaker, to be a matchmaker for me.

Aunt Gao was flattered that Min Xiucai, who didn't come to the door so easily, made this request to herself, and she almost agreed without thinking about it.

She hates her daughter for marrying early. If she had known that the requirements for a scholar to marry a daughter-in-law were so low, she should have kept her for a few more years. How honorable it is to marry such a son-in-law!Even if he doesn't need to do anything, it's a pleasure to look at his face every day...

Both the man and the woman were interested, and the marriage went very smoothly. Only then did Aunt Gao say that the man's family was the only son of the Min family, and Su Xiazhi's mother nodded over there: "Isn't it just happiness? My daughter will marry him!"

Speaking of this, the host and guest are very satisfied, knowing that the marriage is considered a success.

Thinking of what Min Xiucai told himself: It is best to set the date of marriage early.Aunt Gao pretended to take out an almanac, and flipped through the pages one by one: "Aunt Gao, the two families are not too close to each other. Look, it's not easy for me to make a trip. You feel sorry for me, my old sister. Ask for a marriage date for Min Xiucai, April..."

Marriage is a lifelong event, and every family has to make some preparations. If you are hired after a gift, there will always be some troubles. Aunt Gao has the cheek to say that it will be April. Most families are engaged, and it takes almost a year. will get married.April, indeed, is in a hurry.

Aunt Su frowned, took the almanac from the matchmaker, and flipped through it page by page.

Su Xiazhi and Yang Qiaolian are both very strange: Mother can't read big characters, what are you looking at?
"That's the day, I'll look good!" Aunt Su looked at the almanac for a long time, but she didn't know a single word, so she flipped a page and put it on the table for everyone to see.

Miss Su stretched out her head to take a look: on February [-]nd, the dragon raised its head, everything is inappropriate!

The gazes of several people were all focused on the almanac spread out on the table.

Aunt Gao looked at the days on the paper, then pursed her lips and shrunk her neck, forced a smile.

"February [-]?" Yang Qiaolian reached out to pick up the calendar and asked hesitantly, "Is it too hasty? My sister has to prepare for her wedding. The wedding dress hasn't been made yet. Today is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head and looked at Su Xiazhi who was standing beside him silently.

"His sister-in-law loves her sister so much, she wants to stay at home and enjoy the blessings for a few more days." Aunt Gao scolded Yang Qiaolian for being a talkative donkey in her heart, but she followed her words and said, "But if you love my sister any more, the girl will eventually have a family." There is no difference between a few days earlier and a few days later!"

She got Min Xiucai's advice, it's better to set the wedding date closer, now that the woman's mother personally set a date that she didn't even dare to say, Aunt Gao is naturally happy to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

"Sister?" Yang Qiaolian didn't answer Mrs. Gao's words, but just stared at her sister-in-law. She knew that her mother-in-law was a fool, and Su Xiazhi had her own way of thinking. She thought this marriage was unbelievable, but now she saw the man's urgency. So I kept my mind on it, lest my sister-in-law would suffer.

Marry a Han, marry a Han, dress and eat.

When a woman gets married, she wants to have a place for the rest of her life. Seeing that Min Xiucai's family is so dry about proposing marriage without mentioning the dowry, Yang Qiaolian frowned. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

"Huh?" Su Xiazhi knew that Yang Qiaolian was thinking of herself, but now that she was talking about it, she could guess what Min Lansheng was thinking - he wanted to get married sooner.

Mu Dai raised her head blankly, she first glanced at Yang Qiaolian, then lowered her head: "I listen to mother."

"This girl is sensible!" Aunt Gao smiled like a Bodhisattva in a temple, and praised Su Xiazhi insincerely.

Miss Su raised her head slowly again, looking at the harmless woman sitting there laughing, she thought to herself: Are you trying to say that this girl is really stupid?

"What exactly is this writing?" Yang Qiaolian saw that the sister-in-law had such an attitude and said nothing else, pointing to the four words "everything is not appropriate" in the yellow calendar and asked the matchmaker.

Aunt Gao knew these words, but she couldn't tell the truth.I had no choice but to laugh and say: "It's just some auspicious words, such as Yi Nacai marriage."

"No!" Aunt Su proudly pointed to the line of words and said, "These look familiar to me. Your father told me that everything will be fine!"

Miss Su was very moved: This is the real mother!

The matchmaker pressed their fingerprints on both parties' birthday papers, and Aunt Gao took Su Xiazhi's share and brought it back to Min Lansheng, and Su Xiazhi also took the scholar's share away.In this way, this marriage has not been done except for some vulgar rituals, and the most important thing in this marriage, the guardianship, has been fulfilled.

After lunch at Su's house, Yang Qiaolian stuffed another [-] Wen of hard-earned money into Mrs. Gao, and then she and Aunt Su sent the great matchmaker out of the house.

A few women walked into the yard talking and laughing, and saw Su Chunlai standing in the middle of the yard with his hands behind his back, his head closed, his eyebrows frowned, like a tiger blocking the way.

Several people had to stop.Aunt Gao looked at the tall and burly son of Su's family, and felt that he had grown up very decently since then.

"Idiot, what are you doing?" Aunt Su felt strange, she had never seen her son do this.

"Sister-in-law?" Seeing Su Chunlai not moving like a clay sculpture, Yang Qiaolian also became worried, walked to his side a few steps and stretched out her hand to push: "Mother asked you something, what is it?"
