The lady may not be human

Chapter 40 Matchmaker's Mouth, Liar Ghost

Liao Xiucai treated her equally as he should, and didn't deliberately neglect Dongnuan just because she was a girl.

Anyway, a sheep is also herding, and a flock of sheep is also raising. He casually chanted three hundred thousand and other things on it, and the students at the bottom just listened.

Because the life in the farmyard is poor, everyone has no money to buy paper and pens. Liao Xiucai also has his own method. He uses small wooden bowls to fill water and let everyone write on the wooden table with water instead of ink. Afterwards, it can be wiped off with a small rag.

The small rags are naturally prepared by each family. Because of Liao Xiucai's reminder, Dong Nuan didn't come here on the first day and didn't know anything, so he also took a small rag.

At noon, you can put the small rags outside to dry, and then use them in the afternoon.

Dong Nuan studied all morning, and when he came home at noon, he had just washed his face with well water to cool off a bit, when he saw a stranger coming to the house.

"Oh, this house is very clean." It was a woman in her forties who came, wearing decent clothes, at least no patches, she just smiled when she saw people, and her hair was combed neatly. just.

After entering the door, I looked around and said good words.

"Oh, why is Miss Liu here? Come in and sit down quickly." Granny Dong saw someone and hurriedly beckoned him to come in and sit down.

The other party came in with a basket on his shoulders, put the basket aside, and was not in a hurry to take out the things, but first said a few polite and auspicious words.

Anyway, it is the kind that can boast people. Dongnuan also followed into the main room because he was standing in the courtyard after washing his face.

Mrs. Liu carefully looked at Dongnuan from top to bottom. After reading it, she nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's still my elder sister who can raise children. Look, how good it is."

Dong Nuan looked at her for a long time, and now he probably guessed the identity of the other party.

matchmaker.

Thinking about his human-shaped elixir, Dongnuan knew that Hanjiang Tower had prepared a matchmaker to come to propose marriage.

She wasn't embarrassed at all, and let the other party scrutinize her generously.

At this moment, the family members also came back from the field, but the second aunt and the fourth aunt Dong were gone, and Dong Nuan didn't care much about them, so if they disappeared, they would disappear.

"The third one, come here." Mrs. Dong talked to Mrs. Liu for a long time, and then called Mrs. Dong and Wu over.

After all, it's about Dong Nuan's marriage, it's not good for Dong Wu's mother not to know anything.

After the two sides had been courteous for a long time, Mrs. Liu went straight to the point: "I was entrusted by someone, so I came to the door with the cheek, but my young man is very good. It's not that I said it nicely, but Everyone in the village can see it."

Come on, come on.

Mrs. Liu praised Hanjiang Tower beyond reality.

This is normal. If you take someone's money, you have to speak well of that person.

Mrs. Liu has received money from the matchmaker, so she has to do something practical, right?
The two families had already mentioned this matter before, so Mrs. Dong listened with pricked ears.

In fact, since Mrs. Liu came in, Mrs. Dong felt a lot more at ease, because Hanjianglou knew how to behave, and there were many matchmakers in the nearby villages, but Hanjianglou specially invited Mrs. Liu from Mrs. Dong's natal village.

It can be seen that he also had his own considerations, and at the same time, he also intended to show his favor to his family.

Old Madam Dong really took a bite of this, and felt comfortable, even though she knew that Mrs. Liu's words were exaggerated, she didn't feel awkward.

"Young gentleman from the Han family, you have thoughtful considerations in everything, and I'm afraid that I might make a mistake in etiquette. Oh, I have never seen such a considerate young gentleman." The matchmaker's mouth, a deceitful ghost, listen to some words Never mind.

However, when she opened the basket to reveal the contents inside, Mrs. Dong felt, oh, it's just a lie, as long as the things don't lie.

Hanjiang Tower is very generous, cut a piece of meat, it weighed two catties, fat and thin, it looked oily, old lady Dong just took a look, and she was quite satisfied.

In addition to a piece of meat, there is also paper wrapped, which smells like candy, and a jug of wine, which probably looks like four taels, but it is not much. After all, it is just a door-to-door kiss, and it is already good to have an expression.

In the end, there were ten eggs, each of which was cleaned up very cleanly.

I don't know how many people come to propose marriage empty-handed, because no one knows whether it will be successful.

However, the circumstances of the two of them are special, so Hanjiang Tower is generous.

After reading it, Mrs. Dong was quite satisfied, and even her smile was much more sincere.

Old man Dong watched from the side, and nodded approvingly in his heart, secretly thinking that Hanjianglou was doing a good job.

Dong Nuan doesn't care about things, she only cares about her humanoid elixir.

By the way, I haven’t smoked it yet today, do I want to take a sip at noon?

But now that the matchmaker is at home, it's not easy for her to run around casually, and the old lady Dong keeps telling her not to walk around, and behave well.

Although they are all in the same village, how can Hanjiang Tower not know how warm it is in winter?

However, it was time to show off to the matchmaker, and she had to put on a show no matter what.

Dong Nuan cooperated and did not move, sitting at the back door to cool off.

Regarding this marriage, the two families had already discussed it before, but now that a matchmaker is found, it is just a process and a courtesy.

The old lady Dong held back for a while, and then agreed to the marriage. After five days of appointment, the matchmaker brought the man to the door, and the two sides exchanged tokens to finalize the marriage first.

Because there is no habit of eating lunch in the farmyard, Mrs. Dong didn't keep any food, but she picked some cucumbers and eggplants from the backyard, and also took six eggs for Mrs. Liu to put on.

The man gave the matchmaker gift, so the woman had to show something too.

The main reason is that Hanjianglou is generous, and Mrs. Dong doesn't want to embarrass her family.

Mrs. Liu happily left with her things. The Dong family gave a matchmaker gift, and Hanjiang Tower also gave it, and Hanjiang Tower was also very generous as an initiative to talk about relatives.

But I gave Mrs. Liu a piece of meat, which weighed a full catty, plus half a catty of candy and ten eggs.

For Mrs. Liu, this is already a very heavy matchmaker ceremony.

It's not like she didn't accept the matter of giving two eggs and letting the helper come to the door to talk about kissing.

After seeing off Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Dong put away her things with a smile.

Fresh meat can't be kept in summer, so it has to be covered with salt, otherwise it will stink at night.

The old lady Dong was very fast, and the paper bag really contained half a bag of caramel, and the smell was already very good just by smelling the wrapping paper.

Granny Dong happily put away the eggs and sugar, and marinated the meat.

As for the small jug of wine, it was naturally reserved for old man Dong to drink.

Dong Wu looked greedy at the side, and wanted to ask Mrs. Dong for candy for Dong Yao several times, but in the end she just opened her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound.

She was afraid of being beaten and reprimanded, and originally wanted to order Dong Nuan, but unfortunately her eyeballs were about to be squeezed out, Dong Nuan remained motionless as a mountain.

In the end, Mrs. Dong Wu was so angry that she turned around and went back to her own room. The old lady Dong pretended not to see her little trick the whole time.

After tidying up, Mrs. Dong looked at the people in the family, frowned and asked, "Where are the people from the second family and the fourth family?"

After asking, Mrs. Dong took another sip: "The fourth family pretended I didn't ask, where did the second family go?"

Old man Dong didn't pay attention to this. Why is he staring at his daughter-in-law?
The old lady Dong didn't expect him to answer, so she looked at Dong Nuan who was sitting at the back door. Dong Nuan shook her head, expressing that she didn't know, and she didn't see anyone when she came back from the school.
