Rise From the Humble

Mrs. Chen walked home quickly, fearing that someone would snatch her daughter-in-law away if she walked too slowly. When she was approaching the door of her home, Mrs. Chen saw a familiar person walking towards her from the opposite side.

Seeing the person coming, Mrs. Chen broke into a sweat again.

Mrs. Chen is familiar with this person. She is the best matchmaker in the town. She is an official matchmaker who receives a salary from the government. People who register in the yamen call her Mrs. Xue. There was no one in the entire Kaoshan town who didn't know her, and there was no family she didn't know or understand. She knew every family that needed a daughter-in-law, and there was no one who failed to act as matchmaker or guarantor.

It was precisely because Mrs. Xue's matchmaking was always successful that Mrs. Chen was worried. Now when Mrs. Chen saw a matchmaker, she was worried that she was going to Li Shu's house to propose marriage. She was very worried. It would be bad if this Mrs. Xue also proposes marriage to the Li Shu family. This Mrs. Xue has never failed in her proposal of marriage.

"Her aunt, where are you going? Come home for a drink of water." Mrs. Chen took the initiative to greet Mrs. Xue, muttering in her heart, fearing that Mrs. Xue was also going to Li Shu's house to say goodbye.

"Mrs. Zhu, I just came back from Zhao Dazui's house where we had a kiss, and I'm going home. I just drank water and stopped drinking. Your Ping'an Lang is the youngest civil servant in our town, so Mrs. Zhu Let's wait and enjoy the blessings." Seeing Mr. Chen greeting Mrs. Xue, she quickly waved the flower handkerchief in her hand and declined with a smile.

It turned out that she went to Zhao Dazui's house to propose a kiss. Mrs. Chen was very happy when she heard this. It would be better if she was not from the Li family.

"Her aunt, why are you so polite? Let's go to my house and drink some water." Mrs. Chen said, taking Mrs. Xue's hand and pulling her towards her home.

Chen felt that she was very lucky today. First she heard that many people were interested in her future daughter-in-law, and then a matchmaker came to her door. She was so lucky that she couldn't stop her.

How about Vaco?

How about taking a wife? Bandit matchmakers are not allowed.

In the Ming Dynasty, marrying a wife requires a matchmaker. If there is no one to say goodbye, you will be looked down upon and will not be recognized by others, and you will never be able to hold your head up for the rest of your life.

Just now, Mrs. Chen was worried about where to find a matchmaker, fearing that it would be too late. Now Mrs. Xue fell from the sky, making Mrs. Chen extremely happy, so Mrs. Chen held on and refused to let go.

"Dad, hurry up and pour the tea, and bring a plate of our fruit snacks for her aunt to try."

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but pulled Mrs. Xue into the house. After entering, she loudly ordered Zhu's father to pour tea and so on, which made Zhu's father so busy that he couldn't stop his legs. She also complained that Zhu's father had not allowed her to marry Zhu Pingan earlier.

On the other side, the matchmakers who were chattering incessantly in Xiahe Village saw Mrs. Chen holding Mrs. Walk towards the river. After a while, several matchmakers happily touched their money bags and went their separate ways.

The Qingxi River has been frozen, and there are fallen leaves flying in the wind on the ice. At this time, there is someone standing by the river. If Zhu Pingan comes back again, he will find that this person is somewhat similar to Wang Xiaoer who saved him. picture.

Mrs. Xue stayed at Zhu Ping'an's house for about a cup of tea, and then went to Li's house in Shanghe Village with all kinds of kind words from Chen and Father Zhu. She also held in her hand all kinds of good things that Chen had found at home. gift.

"It's all your fault. If I hadn't happened to hear it, my wife here would have become someone else's." After Mrs. Chen sent Mrs. Xue away, she lost her temper at Father Zhu.

Father Zhu knew that he was in the wrong. Of course, even if he ignored the mistake, Father Zhu would not dare to say anything when Mr. Chen lost his temper.

After walking for about ten minutes, Mrs. Xue arrived at Li's house in Shanghe Village. After knocking on the door and explaining her purpose, the concierge Uncle Li looked confused. When Mrs. Xue said that she was a matchmaker on behalf of Zhu Ping'an from Xiahe Village, concierge Zhao The uncle didn't dare to neglect to report to the courtyard.

This was the first time the eldest daughter got on the sedan chair. In more than ten years, this was the first matchmaker to come to the Li family to propose marriage to the eldest daughter. No matchmaker had ever come before. When Uncle Zhao, the concierge, heard about the marriage, his first reaction was to drive him away. Are you kidding me? What kind of identity does my young lady have? That is something people in this small town can deserve. However, when he heard that he was marrying Zhu Ping'an from Xiahe Village, the concierge Uncle Zhao didn't dare to be vague. This was the youngest person to be elected in the town. I heard that there were only a handful of people in the entire Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Ping'an was also the master. Someone who was once optimistic about.

Therefore, after the concierge Uncle Zhao heard that the matchmaker said that he was acting as a matchmaker for Zhu Pingan, he hurried to the yard to report the matter.

"Sir, someone is here to talk to the young lady."

The concierge, Uncle Zhao, hurriedly entered the backyard, and when he saw Rich Man Li, he quickly reported the news.

Rich Man Li was showing off the gifts he had brought back to Li Shu. After hearing the news that someone was matchmaking for his daughter, Rich Man Li almost threw the top-quality South Sea pearls he bought at a huge price to the ground.

Li Shu was Rich Man Li's favorite, and she was so scared that she melted in the palm of his hand. Rich Man Li only had a preliminary plan for his daughter's marriage, planning to recruit a son-in-law. The son-in-law who came to the door must not only be a good match, but also treat his daughter well.

Now that I heard that someone came to propose marriage, Rich Man Li's first reaction was to give the matchmaker something and send it to me.

"Uncle Li, whose family came to propose marriage?" the little maid Baozi on the side asked curiously.

"The Zhu family in Xiahe Village is the young Mr. Zhu who just passed the exam." Uncle Li, the porter, gasped. He ran too fast just now and he still hasn't caught his breath yet.

On the side, Li Shu, who was casually pulling at the gift brought back by Rich Man Li, heard a fleeting smile at the corner of his mouth, and then turned cold.

"Invite someone to have a cup of tea, and then..." Before Rich Man Li finished speaking, Li Shu on the other side spoke.

"You all get out."

Li Shu kicked everyone out of the room before Rich Man Li finished speaking.

Rich Man Li hadn't finished what he said before he finished his tea and left. Generally speaking, people will not offend the matchmaker no matter how dissatisfied they are. This is because they are afraid of offending the matchmaker and fearing that they will talk nonsense about the age of their children and affect their reputation.

The little maid Baozi, the old lady maid in the house, the concierge Uncle Li, etc. all bowed their heads and left.

The lady was angry and so scared.

They all know Li Shu's temper. If Li Shu is angry, he can overthrow the entire Li family.

Then the little maid Baozi and others who were hiding from a distance heard the voices of Rich Man Li and his eldest lady in the house. It seemed that both the master and the young lady were very angry, especially the young lady. Many things were broken.

Then, with a dark face, Rich Man Li asked the matchmaker to be brought in and the marriage was arranged.

The young lady is so pitiful. Just now, the master must have wanted the young lady to get along with that bad guy from Xiahe Village. The young lady disagreed, and then lost her temper and threw things.

The young lady is so pitiful. She lost her temper and threw things, but she couldn't change the master's mind.

The master is also true. Usually when the miss loses his temper, the master will agree to anything. Why can’t he agree to the miss this time?

Miss is so pitiful

oops

Then wouldn’t he also have to fight with the bad guys from Xiahe Village?

As she was thinking about it, a certain little maid named Baozi blushed with embarrassment. She held the corner of her clothes with her little hands, feeling ashamed and embarrassed. Baozi's face was all hot.
