Be a little landlord

The middle-aged twin of Lai Ji's family is called Xu Guan. People in the village usually call him Xu's second son or Guan Zi, and the children call him Uncle Guan Zi. As time passes, no one else knows what his original name is. For people to make marriages, matchmaking and bridge to see people, everyone in Bixi Village is looking for him.

A matchmaker also has to be talented. When Xu Guan was a child, he was a mischievous and ugly twin who loved to tease people. His peers in the village didn't like him and called him a "broom star" and "unlucky guy". Take it to heart, when others dislike him, hate him, scold him and insult him, he can make do with a smile and a shy face. It can be said that he is a thick-skinned, heartless person.

After the age of twelve or thirteen, Xu Guan, who was ugly when he was young, became more and more beautiful. His originally plain and ugly face grew beautiful and moving, especially his eyes, which were bright and bright. Many men in the village fell in love with him. The reputation is getting better and better.When I was a child, the problem of teasing people has subsided, and people are good-looking, and they have a lot of contacts, and they always smile at everyone. When they meet people on the road, whether they know them or not, they are familiar with them or not. Home, no one would hate such a person too much.

After marrying a family with a good family background in the village, Xu Guanzi did not change his temper and still treated others warmly. In the third year of marriage, he talked a lot and introduced a dumb guy to Sun Laizi. Only then did Guan Zi realize that there is still such a way to get money, and he can get money just by moving his mouth. Why not do such a good thing?Xu Guanzi helped match several couples, and his reputation as a matchmaker spread.

Up to now, among several nearby villages, he is the most famous one.Some time ago, there was a woman wandering around, saying that she wanted to find a child bride-in-law with the same horoscope for his young master, and she also asked for a twin son. The woman's family is in Shiqiao Village, Zhaoshui County next door. Jiang Yuan Village is the local village tyrant, relying on his kinship with the county magistrate, he is in the fish and meat village, causing harm to one side.

Jiang Yuancun has a ten-year-old son, and this time, he wants to find a wife for him.

He is a village tyrant, with a lot of savings, so he can afford a lot of money to buy a child bride for his son. After Xu Guang learned about this from his mother-in-law, he put his mind to it. If he does this well, he can get five taels of silver. Well, it is worth more than half a year's income, and this sum is really a windfall.

In order to make things happen, Guan Zi's matchmaker even dressed herself up to facilitate the marriage. He took Li Yue'e's hand, opened his bloody mouth, and said in a long tone: "The horoscopes are exactly the same. Is there something wrong with your Brother Yu?" Blessed man!"

"Sister Li, I really envy you. You have given birth to three children, all of whom are very good-looking. Look at your brother Yan, who is married to Lin Xiucai. How good he is now. I almost recognized you when I met you a few days ago. If you don’t come out, you are white and blessed, how can people like us come out.”

"The Lin family bought that piece of mountain. It is said that they want to plant fruit trees. They invited many people from the village to go to the mountain...I heard that they will build a house in a few months...Your family is so lucky, who else in the village Shuang'er is better than him?"

"Now, brother Yu of your family has to follow in his brother's footsteps and fly on a branch to become a phoenix. The Jiang family is rich and can afford dozens of taels of silver gift money. I have been a matchmaker for so many years, and I have never I've never seen anyone with such generosity, you must grasp it, maybe in the future, your brother Yu's life will be better than his brother's."

Li Yue'e's face was not as happy as Xu Guan imagined. She forced a smile and twitched the corners of her mouth: "My brother Yu is only nine years old..."

The matchmaker Guan Zi interrupted her, "Nine years old is not too young... Wait a few more years and still want to talk about marriage? Now it's just a little earlier - besides, Brother Yu didn't get married right away in the past, and you have to wait a few years to wait." Master Jiang grew up..."

"This..." Li Yue'e frowned, and sent her to her husband's house... to sign a deed of sale, and she would have nothing to do with her parents from now on. How could this be compared to the normal marriage by marriage in the future? Their family is not here In such a desperate situation, why bother to let go of the child.

"Let's discuss it with your head." Guan Zi blinked his eyes, and then said, "Where is Mrs. Ji, is she at home?" After speaking, he started to walk into the back room, calling out, "Grandma Ji! Granny!"

Guan Zi didn't take Li Yue'e's attitude of being a mother to heart, he was a fine person, Guan Zi knew that in Ji's house, Li Yue'e couldn't make the decision, as long as he talked to Mrs. Ji, good things would happen.

……

When Boss Ji came back, Li Yue'e hurriedly stopped him in a corner. Ji Youcai rubbed his hands and saw his wife collapsed that day, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Li Yue'e had a stone stuck in her throat: "...you must persuade your mother, you must not agree to this matter, that young master of the Jiang family, his brain was burned out by the wind and cold at the age of seven, he is a fool, why is my brother Yu so miserable? ah!"

If she had known this earlier, she should have swept it out and kicked it out. How can there be such a wicked person!

"This... How is this possible? Mother agreed?" What would other people say about giving the baby to a fool as a child bride-in-law? Before marrying brother Yan to the Lin family, it was all helpless, but the Lin family was in the village anyway, Zhao Liniang It's not a vicious one, and it's easy for a village to take care of it. That's why Brother Yan...

It's not that it's a famine year, and their family can raise Brother Yu, but they can't sell their sons and daughters. The family is from the next county. Although the family is rich, he knows that the richest villagers are the best. Being stingy, brother Yu of his family took money and sold them, so he definitely won't get any favors, and there is nothing he can do about beating and scolding them wantonly...

"Go and persuade your mother!"

Mrs. Ji sat on the chair, slightly raised her eyelids to look at her elder son, "You are Brother Yu's father and I am Brother Yu's grandmother, don't I love him anymore? Jiang's family likes him." He is his blessing. I heard from Guan Zi that their family has meat to eat every day, and the clothes they wear are silk and satin. Brother Yu used to eat sweets and spicy food instead of suffering. This kind of good thing came to him, you' The dear father who loves him still stops him?"

"But..." Ji Youcai, who was standing aside, raised his head, and Mrs. Ji glared at him: "But why, you fool, look at your Brother Yu, what are you wearing and what are you eating now? , slender arms and legs, wearing that ragged cotton padded jacket, it looks like he has suffered from a few years of famine..."

Mrs. Ji's little calculations are good. Yes, it's really bad reputation to marry the two sons of the family to a fool, but she's going to go to the county with the third son, and the gossip in the village won't affect her After two or three years, it will disappear, and besides, they are sending Brother Yu to enjoy his blessings, not to harm him.

The 40 taels of silver just solved her urgent need. It was really her good grandson, and it was the first time that Mrs. Ji liked Shuang'er.

Ji Youcai thought of his brother Yu, who was as thin as bean sprouts, his small arms and legs were not as thick as the firewood he burned, and on his skinny face, there were only a pair of big black eyes, which were almost It occupies half of the face, and it is a little scary to see in the dim light.Thinking of this, Ji Youcai couldn't help but lower his head.

Seeing his expression, Mrs. Ji couldn't help showing a kind smile. It was rare for her to speak warmly to the elder son who was not liked by her: "You are rich, our family is completely blessed this New Year, not only Brother Yu Hello son, your son-in-law nephew is about to be selected. He is chosen by the teacher of the county academy and wants to make him his son-in-law. Tell me, tell me what it means. It means... your little one My nephew has the good fortune to be a county magistrate, otherwise he would have taken a fancy to us? I just want to tie my grandson before he is fully developed!"

The old lady Ji said happily, as if she really saw the day when Ji Xuan became an official, "Then why the Jiang family is so tyrannical in the village and can spend dozens of taels of silver to marry a wife? Isn't it because he has a relationship with the county officials Relationship! ——One day my family’s Xuan’er will also become an official, won’t our Ji family all enjoy the blessings?...So, the 40 taels of silver..."

"...Our brother Yu is worth marrying!"

Jiang Rufei, the county magistrate of Zhaoshui County next door, is really not a good guy. As soon as he became the county magistrate, he was "a man who attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven". Like the gourds on the tree, they all have support, and the gourd vines grow bigger and bigger.

The people around were all jealous, and Jiang Rufei played an excellent role in leading the way. The scholars in the villages of Zhaoshui County were the most diligent in their studies, and the family members all hoped that there would be another Jiang Rufei-like character.

"My father, farming is so stupid, his head is full of mud!" Ji Qian threw the bowl on the table indignantly. He heard about Brother Yu's good deeds and sent his younger brother to the fool to be his child bride. The family members can figure it out. Although he used to spend a lot of time, he still has feelings for his younger brother. Brother Yu is so young...

Song Qiaoer also couldn't understand this, "Why do you think our father agreed to grandma?"

"Heh." Ji Qian sneered, "I still don't know my father? As long as grandma says a few words to him in a pleasant manner, he will hurry up and give him a few words, and he will run away after being praised." Into the pockets of the third family, I think we should separate the family early, but the third uncle has been attached to it for more than ten years, if we don’t separate, if the son is attached, will the grandson continue?"

After Song Qiaoer became pregnant, he was rejected by the women in the village before Ji and the boss Ji and his wife were strict with him, so he took care of himself and lived a good life. He didn't refuse most of the housework. Although he lived in poverty, his life was beautiful. When it comes to such things, Ji Qian is so angry, he hates Ji Youcai for being harsh on his family, kneeling and licking grandma and Ji's family like a slave.

Not far away, a small figure sewed the door shut, and Brother Yu, who was wearing a worn-out padded jacket, turned and ran out.
