Sister Li Hua smiled and said a series of praises and praises without panting. After finishing speaking, she looked at the Lu family's lady with a smile, and her expression was quite smug, as if she was waiting for Miao Cuilan to stand up and thank her in surprise and joy. And her eight generations of ancestors.
Miao Cuilan was slightly startled, she smiled and said for a moment, "Wai Yuan and his wife from Zhou Family Village? I've heard of—"
"That's right!" Sister Li Hua said with a smile: "The Zhou family is so rich and such a good family. No one in Guxi Town knows or knows! If a girl from this family marries into their family and becomes a wife, That is really a great blessing, I don’t know how many people are envious!"
Miao Cuilan became a little impatient when she kept saying that, so she smiled lightly and said, "The Zhou family is indeed a great and good family, so how can a small family like ours be worthy of it?"
Seeing that Sister Li Hua wanted to interrupt her again, Miao Cuilan quickly sped up her speech and finished speaking in one go.
Sister Li Hua didn't show any disappointment when she heard what she said. She has been a matchmaker for more than ten years, and she has already become a master. Knowing that all women's families, and this Lu family has a brother-in-law, how can they not put on airs to increase the bargaining chip for their own girls
Sister Li Hua laughed and said, "Yo, what the lady of the Lu family said is wrong! Your family is not a small family, hehe, in Fengye Village, it is also a well-off and respectable family! Plus the eldest girl is so Excellent, if you don't deserve a better family, I'm afraid you, a mother, may not be able to bear it! As the saying goes, "marry high and marry low", this can never be wrong again! The knowledge of the young master of the Zhou family, I heard from the gentleman in the school It's okay, and with the support of his uncle who is an official in other places, he will definitely be successful in the future! Your eldest girl, in the future, that will be the fate of Mrs. Gao Ming!"
Everyone loves to hear good things, and Miao Cuilan, who loves her daughter, is no exception. Although she doesn't believe in Sister Li Hua's words, she can't help but make her laugh, saying: "Look at what you said! To be honest, what we do Parents, they just hope that their children can live in peace and happiness and live in a prosperous family. As for the great wealth, hehe, people like us are afraid that the fortune will be poor and the fate will be small, so we can't afford it!"
"Miss Lu's family—"
"Sister Li Hua, this is really embarrassing. The girl in our family is soft-tempered. She really isn't suitable for a big family like the Zhou family. I'm afraid she doesn't have the skills to be able to afford such a big family. This matter Son, let’s forget it, please report to Yuanwai Zhou and his wife. Thank you for your hard work!" Miao Cuilan said with a smile, and stuffed a small red paper bag into Sister Li Hua's hand.
Sister Li Hua saw that she really refused, although she was a little surprised, she was not disappointed. Being a matchmaker is the same as doing business. What matters is negotiation and bargaining.
Seeing that Miao Cuilan obviously wanted to see off the guests, she nodded with a smile and stood up, naturally accepted the red envelope, and said to Miao Cuilan with a smile: "Okay, then I will go back first, and I will not disturb the lady of the Lu family." Haha, I see this matter, you don’t have to make a conclusion so early, Mrs. Lu, you, think about it, think about it, and discuss it with your family. Bring this back to Zhou Yuanwai and his wife to see if they have anything else to say. This is a good thing, everyone should think about it, discuss it, and come up with a way to get the best of both worlds. Everyone is happy, that would be great!"
Sister Li Hua said her goodbyes with a smile and went out, never giving Miao Cuilan a chance to speak.
Miao Cuilan's mouth can be considered eloquent, who knows that when she meets this Li Hua sister, she has no place to speak at all, and she has the opportunity to speak only when she is asked to speak.
If Lu Xiaoshu heard her thinking like this, he would definitely say, "Professionals are not as good as amateurs!"
Hearing what Sister Li Hua said, it was obvious that she would come again, Miao Cuilan couldn't help but sighed softly, feeling a little pensive. Thinking about waiting for his man to come back, he should discuss this matter with him, should he turn around and ask someone to inquire about the Zhou family and the young master of the Zhou family
Maybe, is it really a good marriage
Miao Cuilan was stunned, but still changed into old clothes and went to work behind.
Lu Xiaoshu is the most gossip guy, seeing his mother coming back, he is very interested, so he hastily smiled and asked who was here just now? Why do you have such a weird voice? What did you say again
Miao Cuilan shot her a look and said with a smile: "You, the little people are really lenient! You are just a woman who sells odds and ends, what can you say!"
With a few vague words, the matter was covered up, and the mother, son, mother and daughter continued to work.
Back in the room at night, in the dead of night, Miao Cuilan told Lu Zhong exactly what happened during the day.
Hearing his wife's polite refusal, Lu Zhong felt relieved, nodded and sighed softly: "You're right, our girl only wants to live in a prosperous family and spend her life in peace, that's all. , it’s better not to be contaminated.”
"But I think it's a pity!" Miao Cuilan said again.
Lu Zhong laughed and said: "You, you are so clever and sometimes confused! Which matchmaker in the world has no ability to tell black into white? Do you believe their words? Besides, our Xiaoxue is so gentle and quiet. Temperament, so kind and ignorant of scheming, can she live with a large family? If Master Zhou takes a concubine in the future, how will she deal with herself? Our daughter grew up in the palm of her hand, how can she Can you bear this grievance?"
The words made Miao Cuilan break out in a cold sweat, and she came to her senses, and hurriedly said: "That's not true! Fortunately, you said, I am really confused!" Then she frowned and sighed, distressed: "But I heard that Li Hua sister I mean, maybe I will come again! It’s really troublesome!”
"This kind of thing is about your love and my willingness. We don't want it, and their family can't force it. You just have to deal with it!" Lu Zhong smiled.
In fact, of course he knew how difficult matchmakers in the countryside were, but such people were not easy to offend. Otherwise, they go from east to west all day long, and say a few words to your daughter casually, and the daughter will not need to marry in the future.
"You have to restrain your temper, ah!" Lu Zhong thought for a while and couldn't help but reminded with a smile.
"You don't need to say that! Am I such a person who doesn't know how to measure?" Miao Cuilan couldn't help but cast a glance at her husband.
It's good that she has a hot temper, but at the same time she is also a mother, so how dare she make fun of her daughter easily.
"It's strange to say! There is no sign of this matter. You said that the couple outside the Zhou family were doing well, why did they suddenly think of proposing marriage to our Xiaoxue?" Miao Cuilan couldn't help but wondered again as she spoke.
Xiaoxue has always been well-behaved, she doesn't go out very much, and it's not that girl Xiaoshu who can't stay at home all day.
Lu Zhong was a little tired after a day of work, so he closed his eyes and said vaguely: "It's not surprising that the Zhou family will know about our girls in Maple Leaf Village... Well, it's nothing, doesn't it mean that Sister Li Hua will come again? When the time comes, you just ask about it." .Of course, it would be better if she didn't come again..."
Miao Cuilan thought so too, seeing that her husband had closed his eyes, his expression was calm, and his breathing was even. Knowing that they were tired for a while, she stopped talking and lay down to rest.
A few days later, Sister Li Hua really came again.
Changed into a set of floral clothes, but still had the same smiling expression and tone of voice.
Miao Cuilan then sent Xiaoxue and Lu Xiaoshu to play at Xiaoyu's house, and invited Sister Li Hua into the house to talk.
Sister Li Hua couldn't help but praise the young master of the Zhou family for a good life, and said Zhou Yuanwai and his wife were like living Bodhisattvas descending from the sky. Mrs. Zhou specifically told her not to worry, the Zhou family has heard for a long time that the eldest daughter of the Lu family is outstanding, and she has long wanted to marry her as a wife, so she will definitely treat her well in the future.
But no matter what she said, Miao Cuilan had already firmly engraved what her husband said that night in her heart, so why would she listen to her
Therefore, she was only willing to accompany her with a vague smile, and finally waited for Sister Li Hua to say enough, Miao Cuilan pretended not to care and asked: "By the way, my eldest girl usually doesn't go out of the gate. , this girl is too dull, and she can't be considered outstanding, how did the Zhou family know her..."
"That's the lady of the Lu family, you are being modest! Hehe, I think the eldest girl is very good! Maybe Mrs. Zhou heard someone mention it by accident, so she inquired about it, and who knows, she just hit it off!" Sister Li Hua said with a smile.
After finishing speaking, she kept urging Miao Cuilan to agree.
When Miao Cuilan saw that she was trying to evade and be vague, it was obvious that she was not telling the truth to herself, and seeing that she was urging her so hard, she didn't feel a little unhappy, so she smiled and repeated her humble refusal.
"Miss Lu's family really thought it through? I don't know if your husband-in-law has the same idea? Oh, this is really a great thing. After passing this village, there will be no such shop! What I said is true Yes, you are not afraid of me coaxing people, are you? In fact, this is not easy to do? You can find out from the neighbors in the village! Madam Lu, the Zhou family is really sincere in this marriage, the dowry That's not to mention, the real gold and silver, silk and satin, can dazzle people's eyes! Such a family, such parents-in-law and son-in-law, do you want to stop thinking about it?"
Sister Li Hua saw that she didn't agree to the donkey this time, so it could be seen that seven out of ten out of ten she really wanted to refuse, so she couldn't help being a little anxious, and she spoke with a little eagerness.
Miao Cuilan was even more unhappy when she heard this, so she said seriously: "Sister Li Hua, you don't need to say anything, we have discussed this matter, it's settled! My daughter is not worthy of such a family status, Zhou I'm so sorry that the Yuanwai couple have spoiled their love! Besides, I want to keep my daughter for two more years! There are too many chores at home, so I won't keep you either!"
