Chapter 6
"Get out! Get out! My daughter will never marry and will not be a widow." Master Zhou vented all the anger in his heart at this moment. The people in the yard are my daughter, so he can't take a second look at her."

The matchmakers smiled disdainfully, but didn't leave: "Mrs. Guo said, we have to meet Miss Zhou." A matchmaker looked outside and said with a smile on her face: "It's not that Miss Zhou is here, the elder lady came just in time. Advise your father, drive us away by talking like this, we go out to publicize, will anyone come to propose marriage?"

Feng Luan leaned towards her with a smile: "Let me see my father first." When she came in to see Master Zhou, she blushed with anger; her mother, Mrs. Gu, choked up crying, "Why is my son so miserable?"

"Mother, don't cry anymore." Feng Luan took her mother's hand and wiped away her tears; then smiled at her father: "Father, don't get angry, at least it's the Guo family who came to propose marriage, not the Mao and Gou family, right?"

The two matchmakers who followed in laughed loudly, and followed closely: "Look, the eldest girl is a sensible person. The Guo family is in our area, and they are among the top businessmen; Mr. Guo is sick now. He was injured on the battlefield, and he has been living on the imperial salary since then. When a girl is looking for someone, the first important thing is to have food and clothing. With Pan An and Song Yu, even drinking the northwest wind will not make you alive. "

A pillow was thrown over, Master Zhou pointed out the door, but he couldn't hear a word.When people are unlucky and things don’t go their way, Master Zhou still has a swollen face: "Go back and tell the Guo family to make them die." Then he scolded his wife: "Are you a dead person? Drive them away!"

The two matchmakers changed color together, Feng Luan hurriedly sent them off: "Father doesn't like it today, the two mothers should go back first." After sending the two matchmakers outside the door, the matchmakers told Feng Luan boldly: "Girl, You are a sensible person, the Guo family said, as long as you agree, the dowry will be converted into 4000 taels of silver, and I will give you the cash. Even the dowry will be paid by them."

Feng Luan smiled wryly and said: "Thank you mother for coming, go back and worship Mrs. Guo for me, let my father be better, let's talk about this matter."

After sending the matchmaker away, Zhou Fengluan came in and smiled wryly outside the room.It is a good season to play autumn when the sky is blue and the clouds are high. Only I am depressed and can't cheer up.

Suddenly there was an oops, and Zhou Fengluan stomped her feet and said it was not good.These matchmakers are the most provocative. Although they lost their money just now, they don't have the money to stop their mouths.

She looked anxious and was very helpless.A few tears rolled in his eyes, feeling that this day is really tormented.If the father is not sick, the family does not need to spend money, so it is not suitable to come to the door for a marriage, and if he is driven away, he will be driven away.

Now my father is still sick, so he went to the Zhou family after asking for help.Zhou Fengluan sighed, his face shrugged, and the corners of his eyes and brows also drooped down, looking very sad.

In this way, it can be regarded as offending the Zhou family.

Lan Zhi came out and called her softly: "Girl, the master and madam are sad in the room, right now it's all up to the girl to get over it, what should you do if you're sad too?"

"Yes." Zhou Fengluan pulled himself together, took out his lilac-colored handkerchief embroidered with azaleas and wiped away his tears, and saw Lai An Xiaobu from the kitchen at home approaching, and before he even got to him, he saw him laughing with him Shouting: "Girl, girl."

Even Lan Zhi also sighed, the master fell ill, and this heavy burden made everyone feel troubled.

Zhou Fengluan took the handkerchief in his hand, put on a smile and said to Lai'an: "What's the matter?" Lai'an approached and smiled, "I don't have any money for the kitchen, and I don't know what to eat at home at night. There are only a few rice noodles. .”

"Lan Zhi, give him ten taels of silver." Feng Luan asked him to collect the money after hearing half of it.He also confessed: "Parents' diet is still the same as before."

Lai'an's lips moved a few times, and he said in a low voice: "Let's reduce the amount that should be reduced. The master's soup and medicine will not reduce it. Otherwise... the girl is too bitter." Even though they are not without food and clothing, the family members all know the daily income. Money is tough.Coupled with the fact that there are still people scolding at the door, this is even worse.

When Cao Cao arrived, they were standing in the yard, and they could clearly hear the knocking on the gate and shouting: "Come out, all the shy ones at home come out!"

Lai An's face changed color, he was taken in by Master Zhou on the way to escape from famine, and he has been loyally managing the kitchen.After the Zhou family suffered, all those who should not have been dismissed, and there were only a few loyal servants left, and Lai'an was one.

"Someone is out of breath! Is there no one alive in this house!" The scolding outside was even more fierce, and the voice sounded like a shrew.Lai'an's face was red and white, white and red again, suddenly he ran to the corner in two steps, and reached out to grab a gardener's hoe for weeding. He had a grim face, and only one thought in his mind, to fight these people!

Feng Luan and Lan Zhi were frightened out of their wits, the two weak women were afraid that they would not be able to stop him, seeing Lai An holding the hoe in his hand, Lan Zhi threw himself on the hoe, weeping, "Let go!"

"Lai'an, put it down!" Feng Luan forgot to be shy at this moment, and used her body to stop him.The bodies of the women made Lai'an take a step back, smelling the fragrance in his nose, seeing two pairs of snow-white catkins coming to pull, Lai'an had to let go, only heard two "Ouch", the hoe was released from his hand , went straight to Fengluan and Lanzhi's feet.

Seeing the hoe fall, it got closer and closer to the two embroidered skirts.Before it hits his face, Lai'an hastily catches it again, half bent over and still glaring at Feng Luan: "Let me chase them away!"

"It can't be like this, they suffered disaster because of their father, if they have nothing to do, why would they come to yell and scold them?" Feng Luan reasoned and shed a few tears silently.

The three master and servant were sad together, just for a while, Feng Luan went outside: "Let me go."

There is only one path in the house, and most of the fallen flowers and green leaves fall on it.Stepping on the path until the gate came up, I saw the gate was shaking and being violently hit by someone.

"Is there anyone! Isn't there a dead person!" The people outside shouted and cursed Zheng fiercely. They were a dozen thick women in old clothes and rags, and they were all poor people at first glance.

There were not so many family members of the injured boatman himself.However, in order to ask for money, relatives and neighbors came to help ask for it, and there were more than a dozen of them.

There are also a few children with dust on their faces and stains on their hands and feet, crying loudly: "Dad, give me back my father!"

There are dozens of gates, and there are traces of repairs on the traces of wind and rain. At this time, the dust on the door was knocked down, and a small gray line accumulated in front of the door after a while.

Feng Luan asked someone to open the door at this time, she came out with her solemn face and lowered her hands.As soon as she came out, it was quiet here.

Although the women were splashing, seeing a woman with a wicker body coming out, she looked like she had just grown up, or was still a year or two away from becoming an adult, they stopped for a while, and another one started to yell: "It's that again!" You! Miss Zhou, we came here twice and were coaxed away by you, this time I won’t be fooled by you again!”
