Chapter 629: Matchmaker
Of course, saying a thousand things and ten thousand, people are just a girl in the boudoir who has not left the cabinet now, and it is impossible to be as free as separating after marriage, in other words, Zhou Shaoyu is guarding the door of the Zhu family, and he may not be able to see it once in a month, this is not an exaggeration, just look at the famous Qingming Shanghe Map, you can know that there are only a few women who count and count.
Then you can only follow the old rules, take the parental route, and it must be too rude to visit directly, according to the current rules, the best way is to find a matchmaker to come to the door to propose.
What? Don't mention pro-family? Then how can you see other people's girls, it's really a joke to be a man and a woman's etiquette and defense.
It's just that this thing is also entangled, Zhou Shaoyu brought a lot of girls over this time, it is impossible to say that he is single and unmarried, and if he marries Zhu Shuzhen as a concubine, it is not impossible, after all, the family of the main family is not high, and his father is just a petty official who has been a sesame mung bean, as long as Zhou Shaoyu's identity is enough, it is not a problem at all.
However, the problem is that in addition to being able to come up with money, Zhou Shaoyu's status has no way at all, money alone is not enough, and the status of businessmen has never been high in ancient times.
Although this is also the Song Dynasty, it is the Southern Song Dynasty after all, Song Huizong is long gone, and Zhou Shaoyu does not know Zhao Gou, and it is impossible to fool Zhao Gou like he did at the beginning. Of course, Zhao Ji has given him a fairy position, but who can prove that Zhou Shaoyu is?
But with the identity of an ordinary rich person, it is impossible to accept Zhu Shuzhen as a concubine, how can Father Zhu be regarded as a person from Shilin, and he will pay more or less attention to face, otherwise it will be rumored that he has a reputation for loving money, and no matter how much money he gives, he can't give more money.
is also for this reason, Zhou Shaoyu has been staying and not moving, because he doesn't know how to start at all, but now that he finally gets along and pays attention, it's just dark under the lights, and he took out the sharp weapon for X when he had nothing to do, and he actually forgot about its existence.
That's right, folding fans! The folding fan painted by Song Huizong with his own inscription was snatched directly from Zhao Ji a long time ago.
The Southern Song Dynasty is also the Song Dynasty, the emperor is Zhao Gou, Zhao Ji is still his father, this has not changed the dynasty, which means that this thing is not just an antique, but almost equal to the things of the Great Interior, and occasionally rewarded.
Shi Shiran ran to find the most famous matchmaker in Qiantang, claiming that there is no matchmaker who can't say it. A sum of money was smashed down, and it was immediately dispatched.
I have to say that the profession of matchmaker in ancient times is also a very ugly existence that has been scandalized by later generations of television, film and television. Another example is the bustard, when it comes to the bustard, it is all kinds of flattery, or something, and it is all about what it is.
The position of the old bustard in the green building, that is by no means something that can be done, every bustard, when he has not been old and decrepit, most of them have been famous, at least the local is quite famous, and the ancient famous prostitutes, that are all high-quality existences, what are not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? All kinds of scholars, celebrities, and high-ranking officials have also seen a lot of people, how can they be so powerful.
really becomes such an exaggerated appearance, it will only make people feel that they are downgrade, just kidding, visiting the Qinglou in ancient times, and whether it is elegant or not.
As for matchmakers, most of the images are a huge black mole on the lips, preferably fatter and ugly, okay.
However, in fact, if the matchmaker really looks like this, people and possibly even bother to let you in, everyone has an aesthetic goodness, just looking at you, the matchmaker is unappetizing, and still has the heart to listen to your various boasts? is a matchmaker, it is true that young people can't do it, but if it's ugly to a certain level, it's absolutely impossible to do it.
At least the matchmaker Zhang invited by Zhou Shaoyu, if she is seven or eight years younger, she can definitely be called a half-old, of course, she is sure that she is sharp-tongued, otherwise she will not be able to eat such a bowl of rice.
"This Lang Jun, it stands to reason that since you paid such a big price to let the old man speak for Lang Jun, this meeting gift should also be richer, then the old body of the Zhu family knows, that Zhu Xiaoniang has been smart since childhood, and she was born in an official eunuch, and everyone is beautiful, and now she is also a well-known talented girl, you want to send this folding fan, it is really ......" Zhang Matchmaker took the folding fan and her face was bitter.
Originally, since you are willing to spend money to invite a matchmaker, others should be more willing, although there is no such thing as bringing a bride price directly to the door, but this always has to get something more, although people will definitely not accept it, but you can see the sincerity.
There is also a sentence that Mrs. Zhang is embarrassed to say, that is, Zhou Shaoyu has no identity, saying that he is a scholar, but he does not have the fame of showing talent, at most, his family background is better, and he has never heard of any fame, and Zhu Shuzhen is also a little bit of a background, this family affair has a small success rate, so wouldn't it be even lower?
"Forgive the old man for being clumsy, I really can't see what is so rare about this fan." Mrs. Zhang had a sad face.
"Isn't that enough? This is a gift from the emperor, and the calligraphy and paintings on it are all written by the emperor himself. Zhou Shaoyu was stunned for a moment, and then explained.
Mrs. Zhang was trembling, she almost didn't lose the folding fan, so she hurriedly put her hot hands on the table, and wiped her hands violently, it must not be dirty, but her heart is weak, her palms are a little sweaty, if this is broken, wouldn't it be a big sin.
"Zhou Langjun is very human." Mrs. Zhang's attitude suddenly improved by half, there is actually something given by the emperor, although it is the emperor's, and the situation has already changed, but at least it also shows that it was brilliant at the beginning, and the folding fan is not close to this kind of thing, can it be sent?
Well, you have to not send it, grab it.
In short, in the opinion of Mrs. Zhang, no matter how down-and-out she is, at least there are connections, and Zhou Shaoyu looks very young, and it is normal to have no fame, but it will be sooner or later.
"However, if you take this alone, the sincerity is there, but there will inevitably be some taste of overwhelming people......" Mrs. Zhang hesitated, and finally added.
It is a matter of whether you can succeed in being a matchmaker, and Mrs. Zhang is also very concerned, the more successful, the higher the identity of the two parties to the relationship, the higher the value of the matchmaker, which can take out the things given by the emperor, for ordinary people, it is definitely not a small family, what a good advertisement.
"It's reasonable, but it's negligent." Zhou Shaoyu was stunned when he heard this, and he was right, he didn't give anything, he just took the emperor's folding fan over, and he didn't dare to accept it if he borrowed ten guts, he probably felt that this was bullying?
However, Zhou Shaoyu doesn't understand what to prepare, but Mrs. Zhang has experience, what can be prepared, it is considered auspicious, and you can take one or two valuable ones, this kind of matchmaking stage, people will not accept such valuable things, that is, to express a sincerity. Then the value is average but practical is also prepared, if the woman thinks it can be considered, then she will accept this kind of thing.
After such a toss for most of the day, Mrs. Zhang also decided to go again the next day.
