Chapter 679: Fanwai Qu Weizhen Sister And Brother (8)
There was a lot of movement in the Qu family last night. Madam Wang kept paying attention to it. She was hesitating if she wanted to come to the house to inquire, when the son-in-law who lived next to the Qu family took her to the village entrance with an excited expression. under the banyan tree.
A group of villagers gathered there, all gossiping and guessing what happened to the Qu family last night.
Gouzi Niang lowered her voice and said, “I know, the movement last night scared me and I fell off the kang, so I got up and looked at it, just in time to see the third son of Qu and his three daughters quarreling.”
“Why the noise?”
“You don’t believe it when you say it, because it’s to invite Di’s marriage. Now that she is promising, she dares to make her own decision to cancel her eldest sister’s marriage.”
“It’s okay to withdraw it. What kind of good marriage is that Wangjiazhuang marriage? It’s a waste to marry that girl Zhaodi.”
“That should also be the business of the third brother and the third sister-in-law. How can a girl’s family still take care of the housework, she is used to it!”
Wang Po hurriedly asked, “Is the marriage going to retire?”
“Retired, Xiaobao went to retire in person this morning, or my dog sent him to go,” the dog said in a low voice, “their family returned all the previous deposit, I heard that Mr. Wang I’m very angry, but I can’t take Xiaobao at all. Listening to Gouzi’s meaning, his husband is very good, or he is a teacher, and I don’t really understand what Gouzi said.”
Wang Po breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled indifferently: “Could it not be great, that is Master Jinshi, I heard that he is still a high-ranking official. Although many years have passed, I still remember what they looked like, ouch , that lady is like a fairy, not to mention the gentleman, the fairy is not as handsome as him.”
“Wang Po, have you done your cuteness again?”
“Go, go, I don’t dare to look at such immortals. It’s been a blessing for several lifetimes to be able to take a look at him. How dare you make trouble with him?”
Wang Po had the exact news and was in a hurry to go to matchmaking, so she stopped sitting, waved her hand and went out of the village.
Everyone got used to it when they met. Madam Wang was a matchmaker and often went to other villages, but no one thought that she was going to match up with Qu Zhaodi.
Wang Po first went to the man’s house to ask about their family’s meaning. If she wants to, she can talk to Qu Weizhen, and then she can find a chance to see each other.
It was already dark when Madam Wang came home again. She simply washed and went to bed. When she woke up the next morning, she chose a handkerchief at random to visit the Qu’s house.
Mother Qu’s face was still ugly, when she saw Po Wang forced a smile and asked, “Why is Po Wang coming to my house today?”
“Isn’t this heard that Pandi is back? I used to have a Supazi, and I always wanted to embroider something on it, but my daughter-in-law is clumsy. I heard that Pandi learned her skills outside, so I wanted to ask her Help, or embroider a flower on it, or embroider a few grasses, just look a little bit.”
Mother Qu twitched the corners of her mouth and said, “Nuo, Miss Qianjin is lying in the room, go and find it.”
Wang Po laughed cheerfully, as if she didn’t understand her sarcasm at all, and Le Diandian went to Qu Weizhen’s room.
The four sisters of the Qu family shared a room. Because their mother was in the yard, Zhao Di and the three did not dare to go out, so they sat in the room with Qu Weizhen, who was resting in bed.
Qu Jingxi simply moved her homework here to do it, and taught her sisters how to read by doing it herself. She didn’t ask for anything else, she knew her name first.
Qu Weizhen hurt her shoulder and couldn’t lift her pen, so she was holding a book and reading it, occasionally teaching the elder sister and the others.
Wang Wang entered the room and saw such a scene, her footsteps couldn’t help but the first feeling in her heart was that this song family was about to fly.
She felt regretful, but unfortunately she did not have two more sons, otherwise she would seek to marry Zhao Di and their sisters, and she would have more good relatives in the future.
“Mother Wang is here, please take a seat.” Qu Weizhen closed the book when she saw her, and pointed to the bedside with a smile.
Zhao Di hurriedly moved a stool for Wang Po.
Wang Po smiled and sat down, pretending that she couldn’t see her injuries, so as not to be embarrassed, she just looked at Zhao Di, then took her hand and said, “It’s only been a few days, why do I think Zhao Di is beautiful? some?”
Zhao Di blushed and lowered her head, muttering that she didn’t know what to say.
“Sixteen or seventeen years old is the best time. If you eat well, you will be beautiful.” Qu Weizhen asked with a smile, “Is there something wrong with Wang Po today?”
“Uh,” Wang Po glanced at Zhao Di and said, “The things you explained to me have already been made, look at this…”
Qu Jingxi, who was sitting in the corner of the room and doing her homework, couldn’t help but paused, and then looked over.
Zhao Di didn’t think about it for a while, but Lai Di pulled the corner of her clothes and gave her a wink before she understood. She blushed suddenly, she didn’t expect the third sister to go to Wang Po so early.
She pulled away the hand held by Wang Po, turned around and was about to go out, she heard Pan Di say: “Eldest sister, you all stay here, you should also listen, if it’s not suitable, let’s change another one.”
Seeing that there was no shyness on the face of the girl lying on the bed, Madam Wang couldn’t help but sigh, she was still brave from the city. She had only lived in the city for a few years, and she didn’t even blushed when she talked about marriage.
Qu Weizhen didn’t know what Wang Po was thinking, and asked her to sit down with a smile.
Wang Po glanced at the room, and seeing that the five siblings of the Qu family were all looking at her, she coughed lightly: “According to the conditions you mentioned, I have considered and considered, and I will treat this boy of school age from ten miles and eight villages. After thinking about it all over again, I really came up with someone.”
She smiled and said, “His family’s situation is slightly better than yours. There are about 20 acres of land in the family, and there are two people in the house. The older brother is already married, and there is a younger brother below.”
“What’s the surname, I don’t know where the owner of the house is?”
“The surname is Liu, which is the Liuzhuang closest to Runing City. It’s a small village. There are only about twenty households in the village, but 90% of them have the surname Liu, which is a big surname.” Wang Po smiled: “The Liu family’s Parents are notorious for being sensible and compassionate. The eldest daughter-in-law is in charge of the house after giving birth to the eldest son, and does not need to serve the parents-in-law. The husband and wife can keep a large part of the money they earn in private. Sometimes the parents will not ask them for it, so the small Had a good time.”
“That lady is also easy to get along with. When she is a girl, she is cheerful and cheerful. I also guarantee her marriage. Look, how well has the past three years of marriage been?”
Because she knew that Qu Weizhen had high requirements, Po Wang had been searching for it for a long time. She wrote down all the qualified ones and lined them up for comparison. This Liu Erlang was the one with the best comprehensive conditions.
If Qu Weizhen is not satisfied with this, then the rest will be even more mysterious.
Mainly because she was in a hurry. If she was more relaxed, she could go to the city and further afield to find it.
Qu Jingxi asked, “How is his character?”
“Be honest!” The matchmaker said without thinking, “If Zhao Di is not honest, I wouldn’t dare to introduce him to him. He is an 18-year-old boy with a strong body, good looks, and simple and honest. I don’t know. How many girls are staring at him.”
“He’s so good, why isn’t he married at eighteen?” Qu Weizhen asked.
“Isn’t it impossible to get the dowry money? His parents have said long ago that the three sons have a bowl of water, and when the eldest got married, he only gave three taels of dowry, plus wedding wine and a big red envelope for his in-laws, and it was made for the bride. The total amount of money for new clothes is only 5 taels, so the second and third children will be the same. But the dowry gifts requested by the intended ones are a bit high, so it has been delayed.” Wang Po looked at Qu Wei cautiously. Zhendao: “Pandi, didn’t you say you don’t care about the dowry?”
Qu Weizhen sneered: “Who said I don’t value the betrothal gift? I just said that I won’t ask for an excessive betrothal gift. Five taels are still acceptable, as long as others are good.”
Wang Po’s eyes lit up, “So this…”
“Find a time for them to meet.” Qu Weizhen thought for a moment, then looked at Qu Jingxi and said, “You go with Big Sister.”
Qu Jingxie responded.
Qu Weizhen touched under the pillow, and she didn’t know where she found a purse. When she opened it, she grabbed a dozen copper plates and stuffed it in Wang Po’s hand, and said in a low voice, “I will trouble Wang Po, my parents. Don’t let them know for the time being, and wait until we’re almost done with worrying about it.”
Wang Po understands that whoever gives her the money will listen to the matchmaker, not to mention that she is the matchmaker, Qu Jingxi is the only male of the Qu family, and she is also the master of recruiting.
Wang Po happily held the veil and was about to leave, turned around and clapped her hands: “I almost forgot, Pandi, you embroider something on the veil for me, but I told your mother that I am I came to you to embroider the handkerchief.”
Qu Weizhen took the handkerchief, asked Zhao Di to bring the sewing kit, picked out the five-color thread, and began to thread and embroider.
Her shoulder was injured, so the embroidery was very slow, but in the eyes of Wang Po and others, it was also very fast. Two small flowers were embroidered in Pajiao in less than two quarters of an hour.
Wang Po took the veil and exclaimed: “Oh, you have this skill, even if you go back to the village in the future, you will not be afraid of starving to death. Whoever married you is really a blessing.”
Qu Weizhen said with a smile: “I’m too embarrassed to take out this embroidery work to see people, and it’s only a few pennies at most when I get it in a cloth shop.”
Wang Po doesn’t care, isn’t the money all accumulated by a few pennies?
Zhaodi and Laidi Daidi also felt the same way, so they looked at Qu Weizhen with envy and admiration.
Qu Weizhen said helplessly: “My embroidery is really not good, so I dare not teach you, otherwise I will teach you to sew clothes, and you can do it yourself in the future.”
The three sisters can mend their clothes, but they really can’t cut and sew them, because Qu Mu never taught them, and the clothes they wear are all modified by Qu Mu using her own old clothes, and Zhao Di can’t wear them anymore. Change it to wear it for Laidi, and when Laidi grows up, she wears it again.
Qu Weizhen asked them to take out the old clothes and cut them with scissors. Zhao Di and the three of them felt distressed, and she laughed softly: “If the old ones don’t go away, the new ones won’t come, so you should practice with these old clothes first. Practice.”
Her skills of embroidery and making clothes were learned from Hearts. At first, she was very keen on embroidery because she thought it might be her way out.
Later, she really relied on embroidery to make money. She was very satisfied after earning a few quills, but she didn’t know that what the teacher said was true after her younger brother was able to copy books to earn money. Learning calligraphy is more profitable than learning embroidery. .
So she immediately threw herself into her studies, worked hard to practice calligraphy, and learned various subjects well.
She has no special talent in embroidery, she relies on diligence, so after slack, her craftsmanship becomes rusty and there has been no progress. But making clothes is different, you have to make your own clothes.
Just like the teacher, there is Sister Hearts at home, and there is a shop outside, but she and her husband make underwear and underwear by herself. Ever since she knew that the teacher didn’t lie to her about making money, she likes to learn from her everywhere. .
I dare not say that she can do what the teacher knows, but she will try her best to learn what the teacher knows.
And the more she learns how to make clothes, the more clothes she brings home this time is made by herself.
Qu Weizhen taught them how to cut, and whispered: “This is also very knowledgeable in making clothes. Like mother, they like to leave cloth when they make clothes, so that when the clothes are small, you can let the cloth go away, and then you can wear them for many years. But there are also several kinds of cloth, some can be seen at a glance, but some are invisible.”
The three of Zhao Di listened intently, and Qu Weizhen lifted the hem of the eldest sister’s clothes and smiled lightly: “I also left cloth for your clothes, and when you learn to sew, I will teach you how to remove the stitches and lay the cloth. …”
Qu Jing scratched her head and found that she didn’t understand, so she turned around and went back to do her homework.
This holiday is destined to be difficult for them, and they don’t know what will happen after that, so it’s better to do more homework while you have time now, otherwise you won’t be able to deal with Mr.
Within two days, Madam Wang wrote back, saying that the Liu family also liked it, so they wanted to see each other, and everyone made an appointment to meet in Runing City.
Qu’s father and Qu’s mother are not as high as they used to be now, so Qu Jingxi took Qu Zhaodi to Runing City with little effort, just to buy some medicine for Qu Weizhen.
Because she remembered what Qu Weizhen said, “If she’s not good, don’t think about Qu Jingxi”, Qu Mu could only reluctantly take the money.
Qu Weizhen leaned against the window and watched them leave. Seeing Qu’s mother and Qu’s mother staring at her room viciously, she couldn’t help but smile.
She knew that she couldn’t force it any more, at least she couldn’t take money from them, or they would definitely vent their accumulated anger.
She is not a masochist. She will go for a beating if it is worthwhile. If it is worthless, why should she suffer this crime?
Qu Weizhen calculated in her mind how much dowry she would give to the eldest sister, how to arrange the second and fourth sisters, and how much money she would have left after doing all this.
After she deduced and overturned the calculations in her mind several times, the sun was about to set. She picked up the pen and briefly listed a few key words in her mind so that she would not forget it, and then she looked outside and asked: “Big sister, haven’t they come back yet?”
“No, Mom and Dad are a little angry.” Laidi came in with a bowl of soup and a bowl of vegetables, and brought her a bowl of rice in the back. “Eat quickly, let’s wait for them in the main room.”
Qu Weizhen nodded, picked up the bowl and was about to eat when the sound of a dog whipping a whip came from outside, and Laidi smiled and said, “I’m back.”
Qu Weizhen pushed open the window and looked out, just in time to see Zhao Di entering the door with a blushing face, while Qu Jingxi, who was following behind, was calm, but the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, obviously in a good mood.
Qu Weizhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned back to eat. It seems that the meeting effect is not bad.
