Chapter 186: Miss Liu Er who was forced to marry
"Official media?"
Hearing what Xiaohuan said, Li Yi was also slightly stunned. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In order not to make such a low-level mistake again, he took the time to make up for the common sense of this world, of course, including etiquette and customs.
The official media is also a matchmaker, but it has an official identity than an ordinary matchmaker.
At this time, although there is no family planning, the population is also very scarce, the level of medical care is still limited, the average life expectancy of people is not long, and they have already earned it if they live to be 50 years old.
The population base cannot be increased, which will lead to many problems.
If there is no population, where can we find people to farm, how can the state collect taxes, if there is going to be a war, where will we find people to join the army, how can we resist foreign enemies, how can we maintain the multiplication of the nation?
Therefore, every king regarded the increase of population as the top priority of the country's development.
Since hundreds of years ago, early marriage and early childbearing, encouraging more children have become the laws and regulations on the table, more children should be rewarded, less children should be punished, and there was even a law that a woman was 15 years old and the whole family was imprisoned.
Although Jingguo's marriage law is not so harsh, but under the encouragement of the government, everyone is working hard to get married and create people, you are a seventeen or eighteen-year-old woman who is still waiting to be married, isn't this a drag on the country?
Therefore, in addition to ordinary matchmakers, the profession of official media should also be born from time to time.
Any profession, as long as it is related to the word "official", is not so simple.
The duty of the official media is to respond to the call of the state to solve the lifelong major events of single men and women of appropriate age but unmarried, and even force the match if the other party does not agree.
In line with the concept of "you don't marry, I'll help you ...... if you don't marry", these official media run between villages, holding a good red line, and when necessary, they can also forcibly tie two single dogs of appropriate age together.
Liu Ruyi is twenty-eight years old, of course, she is not an adult in the future, and she is a young girl, but in the current era, she is undoubtedly an old girl.
This kind of old girl is naturally the focus of the official media.
"Girl, it's not me talking about you, you're not too old, how many women like you, children can open their mouths and call "mother", look at you, how many times have I been at home, how many family affairs have I said, why don't you open your mind? In the courtyard, the official media with a mole on the corner of his mouth was still talking.
Liu Ruyi's face was a little helpless, Liu Ruyi looked ahead, her eyes were erratic, and she looked obviously absent-minded.
The official media didn't stop, and suddenly said strangely: "I remember the last time I came, your sister didn't have a marriage match, it's only been a few months, how did she get married, I don't know which matchmaker said peace, why didn't you go to the government to register and make a register......"
Her tone was a little regretful, Liuye Village and several nearby villages, the marriage of men and women of appropriate age is her responsibility, if it can be said from her as a family matter, a reward is inevitable, if it is robbed by others, there is nothing for her.
If you let her know which matchmaker is so ignorant of the rules, next time you must let her have a long memory, and you must abide by the rules of this line of work, and you can't stretch your hand too long.
Liu Ruyi didn't speak, the reason why she made that decision some time ago was not only because of the second aunt, but also largely because the official media had come to the door countless times, if it was delayed for a while, I was afraid that they would have to be fined food, at that time, where did they have excess food at home.
The official media looked at Liu Ruyi and said: "Girl, I didn't treat you badly at all, girl, you look so smart, I can't bear to say that you are a bad person, last time you were not satisfied with the eldest son of Wang Blacksmith, this time I will leave the best for you......
Although the son of this old man Su's family is a little stupid, but old man Su has opened a cloth village in Fucheng, a big mansion of maids and servants, and there is no shortage of everything, if you marry it, it will be a young grandmother, what do you think? If you agree, I will immediately go to someone to reply to Master Su, these two days can be settled, it will drag on for a long time, Master Su should answer others, then there is no way, there are a lot of people crowded behind to drill into the gate of the Su family. ”
The expression on Liu Ruyi's face still did not fluctuate, as if she hadn't heard what the official media said.
"Girl, I can't help you delay this family matter, if you still don't agree, I'm afraid that it won't be long before someone from above will send someone to fine the grain." The official media persuaded bitterly.
Li Yi was a little amused when he heard it in the back, the maid and servant have a big house, such a condition tempts and tempts the old party may still be successful, Miss Liu Er is now a person who has seen the world, and the private money saved is afraid that the cloth village will be emptied.
The official media was originally confident about today's family affairs, she knew the situation of this girl's family, a few months ago, it was difficult for the poor to even eat, just barely survived, although the Su family is not a wealthy family, it is an exaggeration to say that she married a young grandmother, but at least she can not worry about food and clothing, is it thousands of times better than here?
With this in mind, the expression on her face suddenly froze as her eyes swept over the two sisters, and then a look of surprise appeared.
The last time they came, their clothes were just ordinary fabrics, and today's clothes are ...... I'm afraid that these two clothes are worth a lot of money.
Looking at the hairpin on my sister's head again, I faintly felt a little familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, I thought that the last time she saw it in Jinyufang, the most famous silver building in Fucheng, it was worth at least dozens of taels of silver.
After suffering for so many years, of course Liu Ruyi herself would not be extravagant enough to spend dozens of taels of silver to buy a golden hairpin, which was given to her by Li Yi some time ago.
But I didn't know that the official media was also wondering at this time, I haven't seen each other for a few months, these two sisters have made a fortune?
However, even if they really become rich and noble, this should still be done, and if it drags on any longer, it will not be as simple as a penalty for food.
Li Yi was standing not far away to watch the excitement, the courtyard door was suddenly pushed open, the old man just walked in and saw Li Yi, touched his head, and said a little embarrassed: "Uncle, the cloth you gave to my family last time, is there any more, the pillar played with fire at home today, accidentally burned the cloth, and was beaten by me......"
Li Yi didn't wait for him to finish, so he instructed the little maid: "Go to the house and get another piece of cloth out." ”
Lao Fang is also a rich man now, and he can't afford to buy a piece of cloth, but the meaning of the cloth given by the emperor is different, so he was burned by the pillar, and it is estimated that he is also distressed, Li Yi mourned for the bear child's ass for a while.
Xiaohuan nodded, ran briskly to the house, and after a while, ran out with a piece of cloth.
Last time, the emperor rewarded too much cloth, and sent a lot of it, and there was still a lot left, and it was not distressing to send a few little maids.
The official media watched the little maid with a silver hairpin on her head running by, and when her eyes swept to the silk cloth she was holding in her arms, a hint of surprise appeared on her face again.
"This ......, what a good material!"
