The official matchmaker is also a matchmaker. Although a matchmaker relies on her mouth, and the white ones are black, but she travels around all day, matchmaking, and naturally has more knowledge.
Those years of practicing eyesight were not in vain. I didn't touch the cloth in that maid's hand, so I knew that the material was not ordinary. In Qing'an Prefecture, this kind of cloth was probably only available in the top cloth houses.
She wondered what happened to these two sisters in the past few months. The last time they came, their family was still in a difficult situation. Not long after, even the little maid was dressed in silk The silk and satin hairpins cost more than her annual salary.
In this way, even the maids at home are treated like young mistresses, so it's normal to look down on Master Su's family.
However, it was almost the end of the year, and she still needed to match a few couples to meet the number required above. Then she looked up at Liu Ruyi and said, "Girl, your request can't be too high. This marriage is very important." We are a good match, no matter how tall we are, we will not be able to climb up, if you are still so inexperienced, the next time you come here, it will not be me."
The official media's words were cryptic, meaning that sisters Liu Ruyi understood that the next time it wasn't her, it would be someone from the government.
If it was a few months ago, even they would have a headache for such a thing, but now, this threat has no effect.
Liu Ruyi watched Li Yi approaching, went up to meet him and said, "Sanggong is back."
The official media also turned their heads and saw the handsome young man walking towards this side. Hearing Liu Ruyi's address, he suddenly understood that this should be the woman's husband. Judging from the situation, he should be a married woman.
This young man is handsome and talented, it would be a pity to marry him.
"How much dowry is the Su family you're talking about willing to pay?" Li Yi turned to look at the official media and asked with a smile.
When Liu Ruyi heard this, the expression on his face changed, and the eyes that looked at Li Yi began to flash dangerously.
"Sir." Liu Ruyi tugged at his sleeve and shook her head.
She and Liu Ruyi have been dependent on each other since they were young, and they are sisters. For her, it is natural that she does not want Ruyi to marry someone she doesn't like.
The official media was stunned when he heard the words. Judging by the scholar's attitude, there seemed to be room for discussion on this matter. A gleam of joy appeared on his face, and he said: "You can rest assured, Mr. Su's family has a lot of money, I believe The dowry will definitely satisfy you."
"If the Su family is willing to offer ten thousand taels of gold as a dowry gift, this matter is not unnegotiable." Li Yi is still brooding about the previous matter.
"What?"
The official media couldn't believe their ears, and repeated, "Ten thousand taels of gold?"
Seeing Li Yi nodded, the official media stood on the spot blankly, looking at him with strange eyes.
Ten thousand taels of gold, she really dared to ask, do you know how much it is, even if the emperor marries a princess, he doesn't need so much dowry, right
She was still thinking about how much insight this small family can have. Even if the dowry is a bit more demanding, it may not be impossible to go back and discuss it with Master Su.
But this ten thousand taels of gold - even if the Su family was sold ten times, they wouldn't be able to get it together!
Hearing what Li Yi said, Liu Ruyi's pretty face was also a little stunned. Knowing that he was probably just making trouble on purpose, she smiled and stopped talking.
After Liu Ruyi glanced at him, the coldness on her face disappeared.
"Hehe, this young master should stop joking, 10,000 taels of gold, who in the entire Qing'an Mansion can afford such a heavy betrothal gift?" The official media twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a half-hearted smile.
Ten thousand taels of gold is a huge sum of money for anyone. There may be quite a few people in Qing'an Mansion who can afford this money, but only fools would use ten thousand taels of gold as a betrothal gift.
"Then I can only say sorry..." Li Yi said regretfully, "I would like to ask this official media to make it easier for you. I won't bother you about the marriage of my wife and sister in the future."
Although my sister-in-law has a bad temper, she is pretty and has high martial arts skills. If she can't be sold—and married for a good price, wouldn't it be a big loss
"I'm afraid it won't work, you scholar is taking it for granted."
The official media sneered, thinking that the young scholar seemed arrogant. Women of the right age should get married. This has been the rule since ancient times. She is just an official media. How can she have such great power? She said in a strange tone : "Men's university should be married, and female university's should be married. This girl is not too young. It is the right way to think about betrothing someone as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be bad when the punishment comes down from above."
"Bold, how did you talk to the county lieutenant!"
Lao Fang took the cloth from Xiaohuan and was about to leave when he heard the shady voice of the official media, his brows sank involuntarily, and he strode over to speak.
He has been with Li Yi for the past two days, staying in the county government office, and most of the people he came into contact with were those government officials, and he learned something from them. Although this is not a county government office, this woman dared to laugh at my uncle. Here, it is certainly not so easy to give up.
The official media was still sneering in his heart, and was taken aback by a big man who came over and reprimanded him.
After reacting, when he was about to scold, he suddenly thought of the "Lord County Captain" he just said, and was shocked again. He had heard that the previous county captain Zhou was dismissed from office by the superiors, and a new county captain came to the yamen, but she I've never seen it before, could it be the young man in front of me
Although she still had some doubts in her heart, no one would dare to fake such a thing. She looked at Li Yi with a slightly respectful expression, and asked, "You, are you the county captain?"
Li Yi took out the county captain's badge from his arms, and waved it in front of her eyes.
"Ah, it's all because of my lack of eyesight. I offended you just now, and I ask you to forgive me!" When he saw the waist card, the official reporter no longer had any doubts in his heart, and immediately said with a panicked face.
Before Li Yi could speak, she said again: "Don't worry, my lord, this girl's marriage is up to her. No official media will come over in the future, and no one will be sent to remind her."
Thinking of what she said to the county captain just now, the official media wanted to slap him a few times, and now he hastily opened his mouth to make up.
Although she, an official media, does not have such rights, as long as she reveals the meaning of the county lieutenant, those people will never dare to make things difficult for the county lieutenant's family.
At this moment, Li Yi felt that it was not bad to have the status of a county lieutenant. At least it was a lot easier to do a lot of things. He waved his hand to the official media and said, "You just said, where do you go to register after getting married?" ?”
"Don't worry, my lord. After I go back, I will take care of this matter properly." The official media said very wittily.
Who would have thought that the elder sister of this family would be so lucky to have become the county captain. If she had known earlier, how could she have dared to show such an attitude just now
After being reminded by the official media just now, Li Yi realized that marriage in this era also needs to be registered. After thinking about it, he and Ruyi have been an illegal couple for so long...
Liu Ruyi watched him calmly talk about this matter with the official media, her eyes were fixed, and the expression on her pretty face was slightly absent-minded.
After being registered with the government, they are real husband and wife...
Registration in the government requires a date of birth. Li Yi calculated it according to his birthday in his previous life. When he turned around, he saw Ruyi standing there in a daze. Why are you so dumb, someone asked you about your birth date..."
