MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 9 matchmaker 2

He didn't know that the Wei family came out to see what happened.

As soon as Matchmaker Zhang saw Zhou Yuan, she warmly greeted him when she went up, boasting: "This is Brother Zhou, he looks really good, with bright eyes, no wonder he fell in love with the second son of the Wei family."

The matchmaker Zhang has such a good-looking girl, I have never seen her before, Zhou Geer's appearance is still average in her eyes, she always praises Zhou Geer's good looks when she opens her mouth, a matchmaker's mouth, a deceitful mouth.

Zhou Yuan didn't know what happened until Matchmaker Zhang stuffed the pastry gift box into his hand.

"This is Wei Cheng who asked me to bring it to Zhou's house, and specifically asked me to hand it over to you, saying that it was a snack bought for you." Zhang Matchmaker joked, "I have said so many kisses, and it is the first time I see a man like this." Considerate, specially buy snacks for the person you want to kiss!"

Matchmaker Zhang was invited by the Wei Family Committee to go to Qinghe Village to talk about her marriage, and she said that the person she was going to marry was still a brother.

It's rare for a county townsman to marry a brother from the country, and it's not like he hasn't seen it before, so he was a little surprised. When he went to Wei Cheng, Wei Cheng asked her to bring a few boxes of pastries and handed it to Brother Zhou. She was really surprised. Those are Baixiangzhai pastries, they are not cheap, Wei Cheng even bought them for his brother, which shows that he really cares about Wei's brother.

Matchmaker Zhang was surprised, but also opened her eyes.

Of course, it was because Wei Cheng gave half a tael of silver as a thank you, that she managed to do it properly, and was warm and courteous to the Zhou family.

Zhou Yuan's bright eyes widened, and he couldn't believe what he heard.

Wei Cheng really came to propose marriage? !

I even bought him some snacks!

Is he dreaming?

Zhou's mother came back to her senses, Wei Cheng asked a matchmaker to come to propose marriage, she was really happy from the bottom of her heart, and the previous anger was swept away. Now, no one in the village dares to talk nonsense anymore. If anyone speaks ill of her brother behind his back in the future, that person's mouth will definitely be torn apart.

Zhou's mother is usually a good-tempered person, so she is really angry!

Zhou's mother warmly welcomed Matchmaker Zhang into the house, and she even listened to every word that Matchmaker Zhang said to her brother. Wei Cheng's caring behavior for her brother made her very happy. People who bring cakes are usually only available when they are hired, but this is not the case, her brother just met.

Mother Zhou's satisfaction with Wei Cheng's son-in-law deepened.

Mother Zhou arranged for Matchmaker Zhang to sit down, turned around and went to the kitchen and poured a bowl of sugar water to entertain Matchmaker Zhang, and she did not forget to greet Aunt Chun who led the way for Matchmaker Zhang, "Aunt Chun, drink a bowl of sugar water, the hospitality is not good, thank you for leading the way!"

Aunt Chun drank sugar water and congratulated her, and let Zhou's mother go to work, leaving her alone, as they were all close neighbors in the village, so there was no need to greet her.

Zhou's mother thanked her again before entering the house, and she didn't forget to ask the eldest grandson who had just returned home to inform his grandfather and the others.

Zhou's mother went back to the house and saw her brother standing helplessly, she was very funny, and she could clearly see the pastry gift box this time, which she had never seen before, and the packaging grade was much higher than last time.

This time Zhou's mother was in the mood to tease her brother, "Yuan Yuan, Matchmaker Zhang came to say goodbye to you, you should go back to the room, or stay!"

Zhou Yuan blushed, feeling very nervous, "Mother, I, I'd better go back to my room."

Zhou Yuan was so nervous that he carried the pastry gift box back to his bedroom and forgot to put it down. Zhou's mother didn't remind him when she saw it, and let him take it back to the room.

It was a gift Wei Cheng specially bought for her brother, and she would not let the white-eyed wolf eat any of it.

Today is a happy event for her brother, so she doesn't care about it for the time being, Zhou's mother thought with a sullen face, and turned around with a smile on her face.

Father Zhou and the others hadn't come back yet, and the two elders of the Zhou family came over shaking their old bones.

"Third brothers and sisters, parents are here, hurry up and greet them!"

The aunt of the Zhou family brought the two elders to the door, and yelled loudly before she entered the door. Before she entered the door, she saw many people watching outside the door, all talking with their heads bowed. She didn't hear what was being discussed, so she thought it was talking about Zhou Yuan's rumors, and she winked directly, "Father, mother, I'm right, everyone in the village has come to see our Zhou family's jokes."

The two elders were already angry, but after listening to it, their anger soared, Mrs. Zhou was furious, "It's a shameful thing, I must discipline Brother Zhou well this time!" That expression, if you don't severely punish Brother Zhou, she won't be able to let go That stuffy breath.

Mrs. Zhou herself didn't want to see her brother, she had long been protecting Zhou Yuan from the third family, she had always had a problem in her heart, a brother still regarded him as a treasure, and it would be good to have food to feed him, yet the third family even favored him.

The third child dotes on her brother, she can at most say a few words in front of her son, even if Zhou Yuan's marriage failed, she was not happy, so she called him to reprimand her, and she didn't feel bad.

But this time, she will not tolerate Zhou Yuan doing something that tarnishes the reputation of the Zhou family. The Zhou family is also a respectable family in Qinghe Village, so how can a brother disgrace the Zhou family.

Mrs. Zhou is the best face!

There is another reason why she doesn't like Zhou Yuan. Originally, the third child's family lived in a prosperous life. Since Zhou Yuan was born, the third child's family has had three accidents one after another. It's not because of the sickness and spending money to take medicine, or it's because of the injury and spending money to recuperate. For this reason, he sold a few acres of top-grade fields.

All these she just complained in her heart, after all, everyone was fine afterwards, and after the separation, she seldom gave directions to the separated son.

Mrs. Zhou also thought that a few days ago, her boss was doing a small business outside, and there was an accident, and he paid for it.

Thinking about it now, maybe Zhou Yuan was born to restrain others.

no!

If the third child doesn't marry him off immediately, she will definitely kick him out!

Zhou's mother heard her sister-in-law said that the two elders were coming, so she hurried out of the house, thinking in her heart that the two elders seldom set foot in her house.

That can't make the two elders misunderstand, her mother-in-law has never liked her brother.

She can't let her brother be reprimanded and wronged.

Zhou's mother came out of the house and rushed to greet her, "Father, mother, why do you two come here when you have time? Hurry up and sit in the room, the child's father should be home soon."

"Shen, don't pay attention to what he said, your brother made..."

"Father, mother, it's just in time for you to come. The Wei family invited a matchmaker to come and propose marriage. This time matchmaker Zhang is still in the house, waiting for Yuan Yuan's father to come back to take charge. It's just in time for you to get old, so you're happy."

Before Mrs. Zhou finished speaking, Zhou's mother interrupted her with a smile.

Zhou's mother's words confused the two elders. Didn't the Wei family really come to propose marriage to deceive them?

The Zhou family's eldest aunt was also stunned by Zhou's mother's words.

"Not yet, thank you sister-in-law for the introduction. My family Yuanyuan can find a good marriage, thanks to sister-in-law, this sister-in-law wants to eat a few more wedding candies!"

Zhou's mother pretended to be affectionate and pulled Zhou Wu's family. Zhou Wu's family didn't know what expression to return this time, and she smiled on the surface, "Siblings, I'm joking!"

The two elders had doubts at first, whether it was Zhou's mother who told lies to protect Zhou Geer, went into the house, saw Zhang Matchmaker, and now all doubts were dispelled.

Seeing the two elders, Matchmaker Zhang congratulated the two elders again, and she praised the Wei family and the Zhou family once again.

It's even more uncomfortable for Zhou Wushi to be on the side.

The two elders went directly to the seat.

Zhou's father and Zhou Yuan's three elder brothers heard that the matchmaker came to propose marriage, and the field was only half cultivated. They didn't care about the cultivation and immediately picked up the **** and rushed home. Then, their faces were covered with sweat, their palms and trousers were covered with mud, and they went straight into the house.

When Zhou's mother Dingqing saw it, she immediately laughed angrily, wishing to train her, but there were guests and the two elders, so she definitely couldn't train her.

Mrs. Zhou, who can teach people, immediately reprimanded: "What does this look like, come back before you go back to the house and change it!"

"Hey, hey, let's go!"

Father Zhou and Zhou Yuan's three brothers hurried back to the room again, hurriedly put on the latest clothes, tidied up and came out of the room again.

Everyone is complete.

Matchmaker Zhang explained the Wei family's willingness to marry the Zhou family, and hired three taels of silver.

Generally, if you marry a brother from the country, you only need two taels, and the two elders of the Wei family think that they are from the county, so they add an extra tael.

The Zhou family didn't care about the amount of money they hired, and they were satisfied with a few taels.

With the consent of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother, Wei Cheng and Zhou Yuan's marriage was settled in this way.

The two elders in the seat were dissatisfied with the dowry offered by the Wei family, but the son's family agreed, so they couldn't intervene.

The Zhou family's eldest aunt curled her lips in contempt, and hired three taels of money, which was very shabby.

Look at the second brother's family, I really don't know much about it, they can smile so happily that they can't see their teeth but see their eyes. So what about the people from the county seat, Weicheng was divided by the Wei family, and they didn't get much at all. Even the house they lived in was very dilapidated. At that time, the second brother's family would regret it.

Aunt Zhou's family has finally felt at ease since she entered the door!

The date of next appointment is three days later.

Seeing off Matchmaker Zhang, the Zhou family members were filled with joy and showed their frown before.

The family was full of joy, and the three who dared not go home were always in fear.

Zhou Yuan's three sister-in-laws also complained that the other party didn't keep the door open and blamed each other for their faults. They usually get along well and the sisters-in-law are almost quarreling.

Fortunately, an aunt saw them congratulating them, and the three knew that the Wei family had come to propose marriage.

This time it stopped arguing, each snorted, turned their heads, turned around with smiles on their faces and rushed home.

After this time, the three of them were even more at odds with each other.

When the Wei family came to propose marriage, Zhou Yuan's three sisters-in-law all thought to themselves that the mother-in-law would be happy and would not bother them.

When they went back, Zhou's mother didn't say anything, and they still smiled as usual, but they didn't know that Zhou's mother had her own plan in mind, and they all saved it for the next time to directly settle the matter.

It's true that she is a mother-in-law who has a good temper, works hard, and doesn't teach them a lesson, so she doesn't know what troubles will happen in the future.

"Auntie, is Yuan Yuan there?"

Zhou Qiu went to find Zhou Muzi to come here together, originally intending to comfort Zhou Yuan, but when they found out that the Wei family came to propose marriage, they exchanged the comfort for congratulations, and they were all happy for their friend.

"Xiaoqiu and Muzi, come and see Zhou Yuan. He is in the room, so go in by yourself. Auntie will bring you a bowl of sugar water later. Stay for a light meal tonight before going back."

Zhou's mother is really happy, wandering here and there, meeting acquaintances who come to say congratulations, they are all enthusiastic to let people in to drink a bowl of sugar water, son and daughter-in-law are instructed to go to the kitchen to boil water to make sugar water, and Zhou's father is instructed to go back to the room to get some The leftover candies from Weicheng's purchase last time were distributed to grandchildren and grandchildren.

Zhou Yuan looked at the pastry box in the room and was slightly absent-minded, the joy in his eyes could not be hidden.

Friends Zhou Qiu and Zhou Muzi didn't notice when they came behind, it was Zhou Qiu who couldn't help laughing and Zhou Yuan turned around.

"Why are you here!" Zhou Yuan's eyes revealed surprise.

"Yuanyuan, Muzi and I congratulate you." Zhou Qiu said happily.

"Yuan Yuan, we were very worried before we came. Fortunately, when we heard at the door that the Wei family had come to propose a marriage, Qiuqiu and I were relieved. Now we are all happy for you." Zhou Qiu looked unhappy when he came to look for him. He was startled, and after hearing Zhou Qiu's words, he was even more worried. Fortunately, the Wei family came to propose a marriage, and there were no rumors about it.

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Yuan chuckled.

Zhou Yuan is still unaware of the rumors outside.

"We are congratulating you!" The two said loudly at the same time.

"...."

The three looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Enough laughing, arm in arm and talking about the intimate words of my daughter and brother's family.

On the way, her nephew Shitou went in with four bowls of sugar water. Zhou Yuan remembered the three boxes of pastries that Wei Cheng had given her. He shared the cake with his friends.

Zhou Qiu recognized the signboard of Baixiangzhai in the county seat, and her elder brother even bought her a pastry, which was the first time she had eaten such a delicious pastry when she grew up.

"Yuanyuan, this is the most famous pastry shop in the county. The pastries of Baixiangzhai's are not only delicious, but also not cheap. A small piece costs more than ten yuan." This Wei Cheng is really willing to part with it!

"So expensive!" Zhou Yuan exclaimed.

Zhou Muzi held a piece of pastry in his hand, and when he heard Zhou Qiu's words, his mouth was still open, he, he didn't dare to eat it.

This, this is made of silver! !

"Well, my elder brother bought it once, and I only know the price."

Zhou Qiuke was envious, "Yuanyuan, Wei Cheng really cares about you. I bought you such expensive pastries. I want to find someone who treats me so well."

Zhou Yuan was in a daze, he was shocked by the exorbitant price of the cakes Wei Cheng bought, but he couldn’t help worrying that Wei Cheng must have spent a lot of money to buy such expensive cakes, but it was more because of the sweetness in his heart than after eating. Honey is still sweet.

Zhou Yuan came back to his senses, showing a sweet smile, "Qiuqiu will definitely find someone who is caring to you."

Zhou Qiu's eyes widened, and he jumped in front of Zhou Yuan in surprise, "Yuan Yuan, your face is so rosy, and you are so beautiful when you smile! You are shining all over now, I am dumbfounded, no wonder Wei Cheng likes you .”

"Yuan Yuan, you look good when you smile." Zhou Muzi didn't know how to describe it. He often saw Yuan Yuan smile, but this time, he felt different, and he couldn't tell what was different. looks great!

Zhou Yuan's sweet and soft smile made his face, which was originally blushing because of Wei Cheng's thoughtfulness, more pink and charming, his demeanor was soft and beautiful, like a breeze, his bright black eyes were softer and brighter, and his slender body stood tall , with a good look.

If Wei Cheng was here, he would definitely stick to it physically and mentally. He was originally attracted by Zhou Yuan's bright eyes and soft temperament.

Zhou Yuan would be ignored. It was rumored that he was an ugly guy. First, it had something to do with his height. He was indeed much taller than the petite guy. The second is that he doesn't pay attention to dressing up. Most of his walks in the village are related to work. The state of work is basically old clothes and messy hair.

In addition, he walked under the sun every day, and his fair skin would turn yellowish.

Recently, because of his bad mood at home, he was asked to stay at home more, and he seldom went out to bask in the sun, and his yellowish skin became fair again.

The beauty of Zhou Yuan is like a piece of rough jade, only when it is dug inside, will it be revealed in detail.

As for the pastries that Zhou Yuan asked his nephew Shitou to take out, Zhou's mother didn't let her three daughters-in-law get any crumbs. Zhou's mother gave them a look. Fragrance, they can only be greedy in their hearts.

Father Zhou was holding the red bean cakes, his tired, sallow and wrinkled face was smiling even more, he was full of energy, and looked a few years younger.

It was the first time for Zhou Yuan's three elder brothers to eat such delicate cakes, and they all savored them carefully, reluctant to eat them in one bite.

The juniors of the Zhou family are happy when they eat something, and they want to show it off to their friends, but Zhou's mother ordered them not to go out, this pastry is too eye-catching.

After dividing the cakes, there were still a few pieces of red bean cakes left, which Zhou's mother planned to keep for entertaining the in-laws on the day when the Wei family came to hire.

The Zhou family didn't have anything they could sell. Although Wei Cheng bought the red bean cakes, she wouldn't think it was inappropriate to entertain the Wei family. At least there were things she could sell.

Three days later, the betrothal gift will be issued, and Zhou's mother is still busy in notifying relatives to come to the door.

Thinking of her natal family, Zhou's mother frowned, and still had someone come to inform her that her natal family was far away, in the next town, and she was not sure if her natal family would come or not.

The relatives of the Zhou family, the two elders all know that Zhou Yuan's second uncle also lives in the next town, and they will notify them together if they are too far away. My uncle's house is in the same village, so just come and talk.

As for the uncles, uncles, and elders of the Zhou family, she couldn't afford to invite them.

Furthermore, the two elders of the Zhou family invited too many, which seemed too ostentatious, and it was not good for her brother!

Human relationships are twists and turns, Zhou's mother knows how to measure!
