Chapter 45: The Cunning and Wise Matchmaker

Fu Liansheng Old Store is located in Dongguan, Yangzhou.

The inn occupies half of the street. Entering the Tianzihao courtyard, Yunchun closed the courtyard door, and the entire small courtyard belonged to the three of them.

The shopkeeper did not dare to send the waiter over, and the waiter did not dare to come over. He only dared to give hot water to Liang San and others who were guarding the door from a distance.

No one knows who the three people dressed as girls living in this courtyard are. They only know that they are either rich or noble.

The biggest reason why the small courtyard where Qian Duoduo lives is so valuable is that there is a huge viburnum tree that is more than 300 years old.

Every April and May is when the viburnum flowers bloom. Clusters and bunches of viburnum flowers gather together to form flower balls the size of plates.

The flower color is pure white, divided into five petals, and the petals are thick... Qian Duoduo stood under the flower tree, constantly picking petals from the tree, without wasting them, and slowly put them into his mouth one by one. Chew slowly.

Yunchun also picked a flower from the tree, put it in his mouth and spit it out immediately, saying dissatisfied: "It's bitter, astringent and not delicious."

Qian Duoduo said numbly: "It is said that women who eat too much Qionghua can become beautiful and fragrant."

Yunchun wanted to ask if it was true, but when he saw Qian Duoduo's beautiful face, Without asking, he picked off another petal and put it into his mouth, but this time he didn't spit it out.

In the evening, Liang San came back, bringing with him a matchmaker wearing heavy makeup.

From the moment she walked into the yard, the matchmaker’s eyes fell on Qian Duoduo and never left her. As for Yun Chun and Yun Hua, who kept shaking around her, she completely ignored him.

"The girl called the mother-in-law to come here. What are your instructions?"

Qian Duoduo walked from under the Qionghua tree and said in Yangzhou dialect: "I want you to help me. Find someone."

The matchmaker smiled when she heard that Qian Duoduo spoke in a local accent: "The girl turns out to be from the same hometown, but she doesn't know who she is looking for.

The mother-in-law works as a matchmaker all day long, and she has met a few people."

Qian Duoduo said: "I want to find a man called Granny Hua."

The matchmaker didn't seem surprised after hearing what Qian Duoduo said. She saluted and said, "I wonder if the girl wants to sell people or buy people?"

Qian Duoduo said: "I lack a few servant girls. Good luck!"

The matchmaker looked at Yun Chun and Yun Hua, and said with a smile: "A beauty like this girl naturally needs to find a few maids who can stand by her, so that she can show off her stunning beauty. "

Yun Chun grabbed the matchmaker's collar and said angrily: "Who told you that this girl is a maid?"

The matchmaker looked at Yun Chun and said, not afraid. : "It seems that the girl is a maid who is favored by the master. She must be the son of the family who grew up with the master, right?"

Yunhua said blankly on the side: "Ah, Chunchun, she Good guess. ”

The matchmaker broke free from Yunchun's hand with a smile, held Yunchun's hand with her backhand and said: "The girl is not beautiful, but she is loved by her master. At such an age, it is the time to work, and her fingers are still as green as green onions." Generally speaking, it can be seen that the host's love for the girl must not be arrogant and let the friendship of more than ten years disappear."

The matchmaker's words clearly did not praise Yunchun's beauty. There were even some accusations, but somehow these words struck Yun Chun's ears particularly well.

"Hmph, my young master will not blame me for doing stupid things. The last time I picked out a wooden thorn for him, I stabbed a hole in his foot, and he only said that his life was miserable. "You can't blame me."

Qian Duoduo sighed deeply, and the two stupid girls sold the relationship between the three of them in just a few words.

As expected, when the matchmaker looked at Qian Duoduo again, there was a hint of playfulness in her eyes, and she bowed again and said, "Has the girl been trained since she was a child?"

Yun Hua He chuckled and said: "He was snatched back by my young master."

Qian Duoduo lamented again, it would be nice to stay in Yun's family, but there is always no one with superiority and inferiority in the family. , not to mention, Yun Chun and Yun Hua are notoriously stupid.

Such a talkative maid would have been thrown into a well and fed to a bastard in other people's homes. Only in Yun's family, they can live extremely happily and be self-righteous.

However, if the Yun family did not have this kind of family tradition, how could she, a slave girl who was snatched away, be qualified to live like other ladies?

"I heard that Granny Hua has a better person in her hands."

The matchmaker approached Qian Duoduo and said: "It can be seen that the girl has jumped out of the sea of ​​suffering and grown up. With such a color, he is still a virgin. The young master must be a very good-looking man.

You said that Granny Hua has good things in her hands. The old lady is also well-known on Dongguan Street. Whatever the girl wants, Granny Hua can give her, and the old woman can find it."

When the matchmaker talked about Yun Zhao, Qian Duoduo's eyes became gentle and his nose became sour. She wanted to have a runny nose again. Many nights, she fantasized about how great it would be if she could have met that gentle pig many years ago.

After entering Yangzhou, Qian Duoduo felt as if he had entered a dream. For a while, the cruel past flashed in front of his eyes, and for a while, the happy appearance of the Yun family appeared in front of him.

The matchmaker's words were more like the narration in a dream, dragging her out of the dream and back to reality little by little.

"Uncle San, take this old woman out!"

Liang San agreed, grabbed the old woman's neck and used a little force, and the thin but well-painted matchmaker walked out of the door. flew out.

The matchmaker fell heavily to the ground, but without shouting, she said loudly: "Since the girl wants to see the flower lady, I can still bring her here, it's just the money for the tea..."

Liang San took out one or two small silver ingots from his arms, threw them in front of the matchmaker and said: "Bring the person the girl wants, and you will be rewarded later."

The matchmaker got up from the ground with difficulty, saluted Qian Duoduo through the gate and said: "Girl, it's the old woman who talks too much, but, Let the old lady say one more thing, although the goods in the hands of the old lady are good, they come from shady sources. Most of them were obtained after losing conscience.

Unlike the girls in the old lady's hands, they are all good. She has a clean background. If she wants a maid like this, her family will at least be safe and she won’t have so much resentment." Qian Duoduo smiled and said, "Bring the flower lady here." p>

The matchmaker gritted her teeth and said: "If the old woman's eyes are not blind, the girl has a grudge against Mrs. Hua, and most likely she was harmed by Mrs. Hua.

This is where she comes to find her.

Girl, listen to me, don’t mess with the old woman, this old bastard has done all kinds of unreasonable things, she can’t afford these things, and there are people behind her. .

I advise the girl to give up. Since she has entered a good family, the young master who can grow up with Miss Chunchun must be a young talent.

There is no need to settle for a loser. , it will ruin your good life."

Qian Duoduo smiled when he heard this, waved to the matchmaker and said, "Dare you ask me your mother's name?"

The matchmaker ran away. After entering the gate, he leaned next to Qian Duoduo and said with a smile: "I am Mr. He Chang."

Qian Duoduo smiled and said: "Mother He, I happen to be short of an older mother to accompany me. How about you?" How about just following me?"

He Chang was not surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I have been a matchmaker for many people in my life, and I have sold countless good girls. Now it is my turn to sell myself. This is also a retribution from God. I feel that I am a blessing from God to meet someone like the girl.

Look, how about three hundred taels of silver? From now on, I will be the boss next to the girl. Slave, if you want me to hunt dogs, I will never dare to chase chickens.

Even though I am old, I can still use the money for a few years.”

Duoduo has never spent such a large amount of money. She tried hard to recall Yun Zhao's spending a lot of money, waved her hand and said: "Okay, I will buy you and give you four hundred taels of silver!"

He Changshi was really stunned this time. Her offer of three hundred taels of silver was just a joke, hoping that this girl would stop buying her, an old woman.

Unexpectedly, this girl not only had no intention of bargaining, but actually added another hundred taels to the random price she quoted.

Just when she was hesitating, Liang San snorted coldly, which made the hairs on He Chang's back stand up.

She suddenly remembered that Liang San and the seven or eight men guarding the door did not look like good people at all. Such tough men were probably not the slaves of ordinary people.

See more moneyDuo still looked at her and saluted: "Girl, give the money to my old man and let me say goodbye to him. From now on, the old slave will be the one in the girl's room."
