Baoyao

Chapter 203
Matchmaker Liu hurriedly asked who was the lady of that family, and she was also thinking about it, thinking about the high-class people in the town.

After asking clearly, she was stunned. She turned out to be the daughter of someone from Zhuangzi's family. This is no joke!Then she asked if she was a concubine, and the other party said no, and then asked if she was an ordinary wife, and the other party said she was a regular wife.

She was in disbelief, and felt that she must have made a mistake, that someone must have teased her, pretending to be someone from Duke Zhen's family to tease her.

In the end, she met Zhen Guogong and found out that the matter was true. Although she was puzzled and dazed, she hurriedly responded and said that the matter would be done.

When she arrived at Wang's house, she congratulated her repeatedly, with jealousy and envy in her words, what an ordinary family, what kind of incense was burned by their ancestors, why did such a good thing happen, if there are many daughters in her family OK.

The Wang family understood her reason for coming, and smiled again and again. In fact, they knew it well in their hearts, but they had to ask, and they had to talk.

Mrs. Zhou asked Chen Xuanyu's situation clearly.

The matchmaker was unambiguous, and the steward of Duke Zhen had already told her all this when she came. She said it, and then asked Qiaozhen's name and situation.

After this trip was completed, the matchmaker went back to deal with business. This was just a letter, just ask about the situation, and then agreed that the next morning, Duke Zhen would come to the Wang family to formally propose marriage.

The Wang family responded with a smile, saying that they will definitely make good preparations to welcome Duke Zhen.

After the matchmaker left, the Wang family held a meeting. These few days, the business of the shop was handed over to the invited person, and the Dazhong also stopped going out of the stall. Clean it up, and Qiaozhen's side should also be cleaned up, for fear of being disgusted.

In addition, the new clothes were also taken out, washed and dried, so they were easy to wear that day, and I bought wine, tea and snacks to entertain people.

On the first day, early in the morning, the Wang family went to buy meat and vegetables to prepare, and they had to keep people for dinner at noon.

Wang's house was cleaned up inside and out, and everyone wore new clothes. Although they were not made of good materials, they also gave people a sense of importance. Mrs. Zhou took Wang Changshun to wash his face several times, for fear that he would not be able to do that. People are critical of themselves.

Qiaozhen also came here, she is mainly arranging food, she can't show up today, she can only hide behind.

Not long after, a carriage came outside and stopped at the gate of Wang's house. The matchmaker got out of the carriage first. The steward and her were sitting in the carriage, and the Duke Zhen was sitting in the carriage behind.

Listening to the voices outside, Qiaozhen panicked a little. Although she had already made an agreement, she still couldn't be particularly calm when things came to an end, fearing that something might happen.

She knew that the marriage proposal had to be in the morning, which meant prosperity, and if it was unlucky in the afternoon, the woman would not agree to it, not to mention anything else.

After getting off the carriage, Duke Zhen kept looking at it. The Wang family's house in Zhuangzi was considered ordinary, not outstanding, but not chilling either.

He entered the yard, and the yard was very clean and tidy. It must have been tidied up, which showed that the other party attached great importance to him. Duke Zhen nodded in satisfaction.

Looking at the people who came forward to salute, he yelled, there is no way, although he came to propose a marriage, but he has a title on him, which was bestowed by the saint, and they must greet him first.

Wang Changshun and Mrs. Zhou let people into the house and invited them to the seat of honor. Then they stood by the side, feeling a little flustered and restrained. This official was too big, and they felt timid from the heart. They had never dealt with it before. Don't know what to do.

"Sit down." Lord Zhen pointed to the stool, and now he looks like he is the master.

"Hey, hey, sit down, we'll hit it standing up." Wang Changshun felt his calf twist, afraid that he might say something wrong and make the other party dissatisfied.

How could Lord Zhen not see their restraint? He knew that this was an ordinary family. In fact, there was nothing to say, the only unusual one was their daughter.

"The big gift has already been done outside, and now we have to discuss the child's marriage. It's hard for me to speak like this." Duke Zhen tried his best to appear kind.

"Hey, I'll sit. Sit." Wang Changshun hurriedly sat down when he heard that, but his butt felt a little uncomfortable.

Zhou Shi also sat down, but she was just as uneasy. It felt like a needle was hidden under her buttocks, which made her uncomfortable.

"Matchmaker Liu told you about the situation last time, right?" Duke Zhen had no choice but to take the initiative.

"It's clear, it's clear. It's all clear." Wang Changshun nodded repeatedly.

"Then are you still satisfied with this marriage? But there is nothing dissatisfied." Duke Zhen asked.

"I like it, how can I not like it, there is nothing dissatisfied, we are all willing." Wang Changshun replied honestly.

"That's good. I don't know if there are any other requests?" Duke Zhen Guo asked politely.

"It's nothing, you can do whatever you think. We don't have any demands, let's listen." Wang Changshun answered repeatedly, as long as the other party agrees, they will win. How can they have any demands.

"That's fine, then it's settled." Duke Zhen nodded, and really didn't know what to say next, and he couldn't sit still anymore, and got up to leave.

Hearing that he was about to leave, the Wang family was dumbfounded, what does this mean.

"Let's stay for a light meal. It will be ready this morning." Wang Changshun came forward to persuade him to stay.

"No, let's go back." Zhen Guogong refused, and everyone's faces changed, and they looked at each other.

"You really don't want to stay for a light meal?" Mrs. Zhou bravely stepped forward and asked.

"No. Thank you for your kindness, next time." Zhen Guogong politely refused, really having nothing to say.

Everyone is helpless, they can't force them to stay, they have to give it away, but they don't look good.

When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the matchmaker saw that Lord Zhen was going to leave, she was puzzled, and asked in a low voice, "Master Guo, do you disagree with this marriage?"

"Agree, why don't you agree?" Duke Zhen didn't understand why she asked.

"Then why don't you stay for dinner?" The matchmaker also didn't understand.

"Afraid of causing trouble to them, why? There's something special about this?" Duke Zhen didn't understand this very well, he just felt that everyone was uncomfortable if he stayed.

"Of course, it's very important here. If the man doesn't agree, he won't stay for dinner. Staying for dinner means that the man is satisfied and wants to make this marriage.

If the woman does not agree, then no lunch will be prepared, and if the woman does not want to prepare lunch, then there is no play, and the man has to take the initiative to leave, and there is no need to mention it in the future.Now you agree to this marriage and don't stay for dinner, this, what is the point of this. "The matchmaker doesn't understand.

The matchmaker's words spoke out the hearts of the Wang family. They nodded repeatedly and looked at the matchmaker gratefully. She said it for them, what does Lord Zhen mean by this.

Duke Zhen was speechless, he really didn't know such a rule, he knew the rule of the man coming to propose marriage, so he came in person to show his importance, but he didn't understand the rules of keeping a meal, he didn't know what was said in it , Now there is an oolong.

"I really don't know there are such particularities. Are there other rules?" Lord Zhen asked hurriedly, afraid that he would make another joke.

"It's nothing else. If you want to have a good meal, set a date and let the woman come to see it. If you like it, the man will leave a meal at home. By the way, you must make small ramen for the meal. Pull the two children together, and they are happy after eating the small ramen, and the two children will have fun.

After that, it’s time to give the bride price, and we can agree on a date to get married. In short, we still have to run. Those of us who are matchmakers can’t get married so easily if we don’t ruin a few pairs of shoes. "The matchmaker briefly explained the rules.

"Oh. Alright, I see. It's a matter of giving you a few pairs of shoes." Duke Zhen smiled, and the matchmaker hurriedly thanked him.

Zhen Guogong turned back again, although he was a little embarrassed, he must not be rude.He looked at the Wang family in front of him, and they also had embarrassing expressions on their faces. Obviously, what he did just now made them quite helpless.

"Speaking of eating, I don't know what to eat at noon. Last time, your daughter showed her hand. I feel a little craving to eat now. Maybe I will stay for dinner?" Duke Zhen said bravely, these words It turned a little bluntly, but he couldn't do it, let him like this, he would rather go into battle and kill the enemy.

"Yes, yes, please hurry up and invite inside. Lunch is ready for this noon. You don't dislike it, we are happy." Wang Changshun hurriedly invited someone inside again, and his face smiled again. The members of the Wang family let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the person is back again, otherwise today would be a joke.

It’s funny that Qiaozhen listened to it in the house. Feelings made such an oolong, but it’s not intentional, and it’s no wonder. The main reason is that the two sides are not familiar with each other, so there is nothing to say. Besides, the rules in the capital may be different from here. , It is normal not to know.

Qiaozhen was busy with the food, and asked someone to talk to Dad, telling him to be more natural, not to be too restrained, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

The lunch was well prepared. Although the fish was not very good, it was still fish. Qiaozhen cooked it in braised sauce, and prepared several kinds of meat, including braised pork, Sichuan white meat, square meat, and crispy meat.There are also chickens raised at home, and I killed one to make spicy chicken nuggets.

There is also a braised mutton, beef sauce, and a few seasonal vegetarian dishes, making a large table together with a jar of old wine.

Lord Zhen looked at the dish and nodded. The other party was sincere and well-prepared. The meat looked satisfying. It might have been prepared by that woman, and it was to his liking.As for the vegetarian dishes, Duke Zhen automatically ignored them.

"Okay, okay, there's still wine, let's have a good drink today." After chatting with Wang Changshun for a while, Lord Zhen Guogong knew that the other party was an honest person, so he didn't have anything to pick at, and his voice was a little higher.

The man started to drink and eat at the table. With a big mouthful of meat, a big bowl of wine, and a few glasses of wine, Wang Changshun was more relaxed, and he was less reserved when talking to Duke Zhen, and even had a guessing punch with him.

　Thank you to the grandmother who bought milk in front of the door, Mercury Masked Superman for the safety charm, thank you Wu Qianyu for the peach blossom fan, thank you Zijia for the pink ticket, thank you for your support.Thank you for your message of encouragement, I feel much better, thank you everyone.
