Chapter 6: Marriage Proposal
Song Ren said that media adoption is not complicated. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Tang Yi originally thought that he would buy a large bride price, and let the matchmaker go to the woman's house to make peace.
It wasn't until the end of the day that he realized that he was thinking too much.
The first time she came to the door to say goodbye, Ya Po only needed to carry a live goose to ask the woman's intentions, and she didn't need to buy too much.
If the woman agrees to the marriage, there are two steps to ask for the name and Najib. After that, the man's family will buy a dowry and formally propose.
So Ma Laoma went out for a while, and came back with a live goose.
Instead, Aunt Ma, who went to find Yapo, did not return for a long time, and did not return to the store until before dinner.
"I found four or five matchmakers, and when I heard that we were in love with the Zhang family's little lady, none of them were willing to help."
Aunt Ma ran for most of the day, and no one in the entire Dengzhou City was willing to take over the "good thing" of the Ma family.
....
"There are a lot of her bonus thank-you gifts, why hasn't anyone accepted them yet?" Tang Yi was surprised, no one wants to do this special door-to-door business?
Aunt Ma's face was bitter, "Da Lang doesn't know, the famous mothers-in-law in the city all attach great importance to reputation, and when I heard that we were going to talk about peace with the little lady of the Zhang family, she didn't mention the bonus gift, so she rejected the old body." ”
How did Tang Yi know that these mothers-in-law of the media are all professional. Thank-you money is important, but more important is professional reputation. If you say that the success rate of the media is high, the more people will naturally hire you, and the remuneration will also rise.
A family of servants wants to marry a famous lady Zhang in the city, it is simply a fool's dream! A business like this that will definitely not succeed and cannot afford to pay too much, naturally no one wants to take it.
What's the situation? In Tang Yi's impression, isn't it the most undisciplined of these Zhang parents, Li Jiaxiao, who loves to chew their tongues the most?
"None of them want to?" Tang Yi was a little unconvinced.
"It's south of the city, Xu Yapo is willing to take it..."Aunt Ma was sad.
"But Mrs. Xu made it clear in advance, let us not have too much hope, and ....."
"And what?"
"And Mrs. Xu wants us to pay the bonus first."
"How can there be a reason to ask for a bonus first?"
"And this Mrs. Xu is greedy for money, and her reputation is not very good, and the old body didn't dare to respond for a while."
.....
"I remember that Aunt Sixth also does the matchmaker's business?" Tang Yi thought of the sixth aunt who bought raw fried in the morning.
Usually, everyone in the street laughs and scolds the relationship, but when it comes to the old woman, she shouldn't refuse, right?
"I didn't ask. But his sixth aunt is not a professional tooth wife, and the two families generally have a tacit understanding, so they ask her to go through the motions and be a favor. It's hard to talk about this matter in our family, I'm afraid that the sixth aunt won't be able to deal with it. ”
"So far, I can only ask Aunt Six for help." Tang Yi sighed, looked at Ma Dawei, who was holding back, and said in his heart, big brother, it seems that we want to be simple, and the difficulty coefficient is a bit high.
In desperation, Aunt Ma had to go out again to find Aunt Six's house.
It wasn't until it was completely dark that Aunt Ma returned. Seeing her brows stretched, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, it seemed that it was done.
The sixth aunt is really willing to help, she is not a full-time matchmaker, and she doesn't care about her reputation or not, and she made it clear that she doesn't want the Ma family's bonus gifts, she should accumulate virtue and do good.
In fact, the sixth aunt didn't have much hope, so many people went to the Zhang family to propose marriage, why did your old Ma family do it? Even if you have a good life and a good owner's family, in the final analysis, you are just a landless and propertyless maid.
.....
Nothing was said all night.
Early the next morning, the sixth aunt dressed neatly and deliberately changed into new clothes before coming to Tang Ji Restaurant.
When I entered the store, I saw Ma Laosan splitting his head and said: "Yesterday I said that your old man had a good life, and today I will answer the words of the old man, and this is all about Dawei's marriage?" ”
Ma Laosan smiled and sat down with the sixth aunt. The marriage of a son may be the biggest thing in Ma Laosan's life.
The sixth aunt sat down and gossiped: "Dawei's heart is high enough, and he actually fell in love with Zhang Siniang!" ”
Tang Yi came out of the kitchen with a few plates of exquisite dishes, and while putting the dishes on the table, he said: "Auntie, just go and say yes, if the Zhang family has any requirements for them to mention, we will never bargain." ”
"Phew~!" The sixth aunt glanced at Tang Yi, "It's a good thing, it makes you say as if you're a mischief!" ”
"The ugly words are ahead, if you don't say it, don't blame the old man for being clumsy, ruining your good deeds, that Zhang Siniangzi ....." The following words The sixth aunt couldn't bear to say, that Zhang Siniang's eyes are above the top, Zhang Quanfu loves his daughter like his life, how can he look at Dawei?
Tang Yi took out a piece of yellow paper with words, "If Uncle Zhang dislikes my eldest brother, you can show him this thing, and this thing should be done." ”
The sixth aunt doesn't know a single big character, and when she looks left and right, she can't see anything special.
"What's this?"
"Auntie, don't ask much, just show Uncle Zhang." This is a thing that Tang Yi thought about last night and wrote now...
The sixth aunt put away the paper suspiciously, and said in her heart, such a piece of paper works?
Ma Laosan is not as optimistic as Tang Yi, and said admittedly: "His aunt just has to say that he is compatible, and we know in our hearts whether it will succeed or not, that is, I will cut off a thought of the child." ”
"Alas!!" The sixth aunt also sighed when she heard this: "Don't be so pessimistic, our Dawei looks like and has a good character, it's just a family background... Maybe the Zhang family will fall in love with our Dawei. Although the sixth aunt is unforgiving on weekdays, her heart is not bad, and she rarely speaks softly at this time. Comforted Ma Laosan.
"Even if the Zhang family can't say it, the old brother and sister-in-law also put their hearts in their stomachs, Dawei's affairs are wrapped up in the old body, and the old body still doesn't believe it, without him Zhang family's little mother, Dawei can't marry a good mother-in-law?"
Ma Laosan made a long gesture, "Then bother his aunt!" ”
"See you outside, don't you?" The sixth aunt shook the handkerchief in her hand. "Something that moves the lip, what is not bothered."
.......
Tang Yi couldn't help but shake his head, what a happy event, how could they make it so tragic? The master still doesn't believe it, can't he help the eldest brother marry a good family? If the Zhang family can't say it, let the eldest brother wait for two years, and after two years, the little lady in Dengzhou will line up for the eldest brother to choose!
"Eat, eat, eat." Tang Yi simply didn't want to ask everyone to eat.
"I heard Sun Langzhong boast of Da Lang's cooking skills, it's really true." The sixth aunt had already looked at the food on the table and swallowed her saliva a few times.... The cooking level of the Northern Song Dynasty was still mainly boiled and stewed, and the food patterns of the Baixing family were even more bland. Like Tang Yilong, the table is full of incense, and the food is shiny and shiny, and the sixth aunt has never even seen it.....
"Then the aunt will eat more." Tang Yi added rice to the sixth aunt and added vegetables to her from time to time. After a meal, the sixth aunt ate very sweetly. wiped his mouth and said, "Okay, wait for the news of the old body." ”
After speaking, he went out with the live goose that Ma Laosan had prepared a long time ago.
Tang Yi and the others sent to the door, and saw the sixth aunt holding a goose in one hand and shaking a silk handkerchief in the other. Step on the Long Street.
At this time, diners had already begun to gather in front of Tang Ji's door, and when they saw the sixth aunt coming out, of course they knew that this was an old custom, and they thought it was Tang Dalang's good thing.
"Sixth aunt, this is helping Da Lang to say a good thing?"
I have long heard that Tang Ji Food Shop is a food shop that makes money early in the West Market, but I didn't expect it to make so much money, and it has only been open for more than half a year, so I can earn enough for my wife?
"Third uncle, don't laugh." Tang Yi made a blank face, "The kid is only fourteen, and I don't want to find a housekeeper now!" ”
"Hahaha......" everyone laughed. What's wrong with Fourteen? Fourteen is not small, marry someone who knows cold and hot at home, and it will be practical! ”
Tang Yi smiled helplessly: "Sooner or later, you will teach me badly." Aunt Sixth is helping my eldest brother to say goodbye, don't make fun of me again! ”
"Oh?" Everyone was suspicious. It turned out to be for Ma Dawei to say goodbye.
"I don't know which little lady I fell in love with?"
"The fourth mother of the Zhang family!" Tang Yi threw down a sentence and turned back to the store, leaving a group of stunned neighbors.
The man who was called the third uncle was stunned for a long time, and then he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, "This third horse really doesn't know the height of the sky.....
Not to mention Ma Dawei, even if their main family Tang Dalang is worried about Zhang Siniang, the boss Zhang may not be happy.
One of your domestic servants wants money but no money, no land, why do you want it?
Just by your Ma Dawei's pleasing eyes?
