Song female man

When they got home, Mrs. Liu took Shunniang over, and poured her a bowl of water boiled with honeysuckle and chrysanthemums, and asked her to drink it.

When Shunniang took it and drank it, Mrs. Liu talked about it next door, saying that it was when Mrs. Wu from the next door came to chat with her, she knew that Shunniang was angry and her mouth was foaming, so she gave some honeysuckle and small chrysanthemums Come for yourself, let yourself take water and fry it for Shun Niang to drink, and drink it to get angry.Then she said that today is already the third day, and I'm afraid it's time to talk to Xie Yi and his wife next door. Xie Yi and his wife are really kind to Xie's family and have taken care of Xie's family. She asked Shun Niang to make up her mind No, procrastination like this is not an option.

"Mother, I've thought about it over the past few days. If she wants to agree to Mrs. Wu's plan of rights and interests, she must agree to me. She will not formally make an agreement with Xie Erniang, but only publicize that I will make an agreement with Xie's Erniang. Coming here to get married is a real measure of rights and interests, there are countless things to do..." Shunniang drank the water, put down the bowl and said to Liu Shi.

At this time, Mrs. Qi was holding Hui'er, and Kecheng followed from the backyard. He also heard Shunniang's words, so Mrs. Qi agreed with Shunniang's idea.

When Kecheng saw Shunniang, he ran over happily again, hugged her leg, and called her second uncle.

Shunniang picked him up, put her forehead against his face, and asked him some questions about whether he behaved at home today as usual, but Kecheng hugged her head and giggled and said that he was obedient today.

Mrs. Liu shook her head when she heard the words, and said: "If you say that, Mrs. Wu may not agree. Even if it is a measure of rights and interests, this word has been spread, saying that you and Erniang Xie are going to be engaged, and it will not be determined in the future. Xie Erniang's reputation is damaged, can Xie Yi and his wife agree?"

Shunniang: "My method is better than Miss Wu's plan for rights and interests. Because the two families have not formally made an agreement, the verbal words are insignificant and easy to change. It will not damage Xie Erniang's reputation. Mother, you just go and talk to her." Then Mrs. Wu said that if she is willing, we will set a date to invite the neighbors to have some tea and dinner, and talk about this happy event, and those bad rumors will be quelled soon."

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a while after hearing this, but decided to ask Mrs. Wu according to what Shunniang said. Maybe Mrs. Wu would agree to such harsh conditions from Shunniang.

But before going out, she still asked Shunniang, if Mrs. Wu disagrees with this, is she planning to move?

Shun Niang smiled slightly and said: "Er Niang Xie has been badly smeared by the rumors, and Xie Yi and his wife are also anxious to quell the rumors. They may not be willing to do so. I reckon this house probably doesn't need to be moved. If it really doesn't work, then I will go again." See that Qi Dalang, send him some money, he deals with Guo Li normally, ask him to help talk to Guo Lizheng, Guo Lizheng may be willing to help me clarify the rumors."

Mrs. Liu asked: "Since you have this idea, why don't you go to Qi Dalang, and let Wei Niang go to see Miss Wu?"

Shunniang replied: "Qi Dalang, I don't want to deal with him easily. These gangsters are unstable. They can help you today, and they can punish you in the future. That's why Uncle Xie next door would rather teach Zhao's mother and son a lesson. , and I don’t want to find the reason for these people. Unless it is absolutely necessary, I will never find Qi Dalang and deal with him. What’s more, let Miss Wu exercise her rights and interests according to my method, that is to give to others... to give to others Flowers have a lingering fragrance in your hands, which is good for both of us."

After listening to Shunniang's explanation, Mrs. Liu was finally relieved, and thought that what Shunniang said was reasonable, so she went to talk to Mrs. Wu and tried to get her to agree to Shunniang's proposal.

Mrs. Wu next door warmly received Mrs. Liu, who came to visit before dinner, and asked Mrs. Liu if she had given her the water fried with honeysuckle and chrysanthemums when she came back. Mrs. Liu said she had, and told her Mrs. Wu thanked her, and then she told Mrs. Wu about her visit.

Mrs. Liu was very embarrassed. She thought that Shunniang's conditions were a bit harsh, and Mrs. Wu might not agree.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wu hesitated a little after listening, and quickly agreed to Mrs. Liu, smiling: "Your Erlang is thoughtful, his proposal is good, I accept it."

Mrs. Liu did not expect Mrs. Wu to agree to Shunniang's proposal so quickly, and she still asked Mrs. Wu about this matter, did she agree without discussing it with Mr. Xie?

Mrs. Wu said: "There is no need to discuss this matter, my officials will definitely agree. Miss Liu will go back and tell your Erlang that I will come over after dinner with my officials to discuss how to hold a banquet, and let the neighbors know about it earlier. My Erniang is engaged to your Erlang, which will definitely put those bad rumors to rest sooner."

Seeing her saying this, Mrs. Liu was of course happy, and said yes in several voices, then resigned from Mrs. Wu and went home.

After returning home, she told Shunniang that indeed Mrs. Wu had listened to Shunniang's proposal, and agreed without much hesitation, and said that she would come over to discuss the banquet in the evening.After hearing this, Shunniang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that as long as the rumors were put to rest and she didn't have to move out of Yangliu Town, then she would have to do her bean sprouts business well, and try to save enough money as soon as possible to buy a house and land, and do business in the future. A cocky boss, so that the whole family can live a prosperous life.

After solving this troublesome matter, Shunniang specially went out to buy some sauced beef and came back to add vegetables, and the family happily ate dinner at night.

Mrs. Qi went to boil water and make tea again, and waited for Xie Yi and his wife from next door to come over to discuss the banquet.

The Xie family next door also finished their dinner. At the dinner table, Mrs. Wu told Xie Yi about Na Shunniang's proposal that Mrs. Liu came over and what she had already agreed to. Mrs. Liu didn't take her daughter seriously, why did she agree to Mrs. Liu so easily.

Because Mrs. Liu said her Erlang's proposal was not formally made, but only publicized that the two families would be engaged. unwilling.Just like that, Mrs. Wu also agreed to Xi Erlang's proposal. Could it be that her daughter won't be able to get married? If she has to do this, she won't get any benefit, and it will cause a lot of trouble.He said that he was sure that when the rumors against Kijiro in this town subsided, he must find another daughter-in-law to make the appointment. Wouldn't his daughter's reputation suffer by then?

He said that Xi Erlang's proposal was less reliable than Wu's interests, and he firmly disagreed.

As soon as Xie Yi finished speaking, Erniang Xie, who had been silently listening to the couple's conversation, spoke softly, saying that she was willing.

It turns out that when Wu told her husband Xie Yi about Xi Erlang's proposal from the neighbor Liu, she didn't avoid her daughter. Maybe she thought that sooner or later, her daughter would know about it, and there was no need to wait until the couple went to settle down with Xi's family. When the two decided to adopt Kijiro's proposal, they let their daughter know.

So Xie Erniang heard her parents' words the whole time, and finally waited until her father had finished speaking before saying what she wanted.

"What? Are you willing?" Xie Yi immediately widened his bull's eyes when he heard his daughter's words, and looked at his daughter in disbelief, "Er Niang, did you hear Xi Erlang's proposal clearly? That kid didn't want to make a decision at all. I don’t even want to make a serious decision on you. I just want to verbally publicize that you are engaged to him. In the future, he must find another woman to be engaged. At that time, let people know that you are engaged to him. How can a person who can't make a marriage step down? Isn't your reputation also ruined?"

Xie Erniang bit her lip, and continued: "My son is willing. The words passed by people in the town outside are too unpleasant. My son thought, if his proposal can quell those rumors in the town, why not agree to it. I think the gods and Buddhas also agree." I will be grateful for Hai'er's kindness and kindness. If I fall behind, I will definitely not treat me badly. Even if Xi Erlang finds another woman to be married to in the future, Hai'er will have a good marriage of his own, and will not fall to the point where he cannot get married..."

"That's right! Our second mother has spoken out everything she thinks of as a mother!" Mrs. Wu said excitedly, slapping her thigh aside, "Besides, even if the two families are engaged verbally, the second mother no longer has to avoid it." Na Xi Erlang, you can come and go in and out of Xi's house at will, and often meet with Na Xi Erlang. This man's heart is full of flesh, and there are many places, and Xi Erlang may fall in love with our second mother. Na Xi Erlang is a considerate person Good young man, kind hearted, down-to-earth, it would be a pity not to catch him. If it wasn't for the Zhao family's mother and son spreading rumors this time, saying that he is an unmarried man and his widowed sister-in-law is unclear, and there is no way to get along with him. Get along."

It took Xie Yi a long time to say: "Are you mother and daughter crazy? Could it be that Xi Erlang next door has become a goblin and confused you two?"

Wu said: "Let's talk nonsense, the slave family has already agreed to go there with the officials after dinner, and discuss the matter of holding a banquet."

Xie Yi said that he didn't want to go, because he always felt that the two mother and daughter had lost their minds and were doing stupid things.

Wu Shi stretched out her hand to grab his ear, asked him if he would go, and said that Xie Yi would only be happy if he saw his daughter ruined by those rumors, and besides, even his daughter was willing, he, as a father, did not support his daughter , Do you want to destroy your daughter?

Xie Yi hurriedly begged for mercy, and changed his words and said that he was going with the Wu family.

Only then did Wu let go and smiled. Xie Yi saw that his wife and daughter were both smiling, and sighed, saying that he owed them.

After dinner, Xie Erniang cleaned up the dishes at home, took her younger brother, Xie Yi and his wife changed their clothes and went to Xi's next door.

Mrs. Liu came forward to invite Xie Yi and his wife to sit down, Mrs. Qi poured tea for them, Shunniang hugged Huier, Kecheng followed, they were all upstairs, discussing this kind of engagement as usual, even if it was a hypothetical marriage, Shunniang This party should not be involved either.

Mrs. Wu asked Xie Yi and his wife when they planned to treat guests to publicize this matter. Mrs. Wu said that the treat will be at noon on the next day, and it is enough to invite the neighbors in this neighborhood, and just set up a few tables.

"Tomorrow? Will this be too soon? Can it be done?" Liu asked Wu in a little surprise.

"Madam Liu, don't you think those rumors about your family's Erlang will be put to rest sooner?" Wu asked back.

Liu immediately said that of course she hoped to calm down as soon as possible, she was just worried that the meeting would not be able to do it.

Mrs. Wu told her not to worry about this, she would go to the front shop to order a few tables of noodles, and deliver them to the backyard of Xi's house at noon, as for the neighbors and relatives she wanted to invite, Xi's family didn't need to bother, she I will please you.As for Xi Erlang, just come back at noon and offer a toast to the guests.

Mrs. Liu said that Mrs. Wu's arrangement was very good, but they made the husband and wife worry about it. She felt very sorry, and said that it is better to let Xi's family pay for the banquet. She can let Xi's family contribute money, and she only moved when she knew about Xi's family. That kind of business hasn't grown, so she definitely doesn't have much money.Therefore, she said that the Xie family paid for the banquet this time, and it would not be too late to return the favor to the Xie family when Xi Erlang made money in business.

"This...how can this be done?" Mrs. Liu was of course happy when she heard that, but she still wanted to express her embarrassment.

"From now on, our two families will be in-laws, we are all one family, why not!" Wu said with a smile.

Xie Yi didn't speak the whole time, but he didn't expect his wife to be a favor to the end and pay all the acting money of the two families. It seems that she is determined to make Xie's family owe more and more favors. Thank you, I really have to marry my daughter.If this is the case, then this business can be done, I am afraid that Xierlang is a hard-hearted boy, the Xie family has done so many things, and in the end he still wants to find another woman to be his wife, if that is the case, Xie Yi feels that he must do it Beat that kid up and say he's ungrateful and short-sighted...

The two families announced that the Xie family and the Xie family are in-laws, and that Xi Erlang and Xie Erniang were about to get engaged.

After Xie Yi and his wife went back, Mrs. Liu went upstairs to tell Shunniang to go to the city early tomorrow to sell firewood and bean sprouts and come home to have a feast. The neighbors announced the happy event of the two families, and that Shun Niang still needs to toast to others, etc.

Shunniang agreed, saying that she would come back early tomorrow for the banquet.

That night, Shunniang slept soundly. When she woke up in the morning, she found that the foam on her mouth was dead. She happily went to chop a load of firewood and came back. After breakfast, Shunniang took the potion her mother gave her. That bag of unfinished water from the fire last night, loaded firewood and bean sprouts on the bullock cart and went out to Bianliang City.

After meeting Sister Song Yu and delivering the goods, she chatted with Sister Song Yu for a while, but it was just how much she had ordered from those small foot shops after traveling around these days.

Sister Song Yu encouraged her to work hard. After working for a year and a half, she has capital in her hands. When the bean sprouts business is on the road, she can get involved in the coal business. It is easy to buy a house and settle down here.

Shunniang said that it was all thanks to Sister Song Yu's help, otherwise she would still be working as a woodcutter and fisherman.

As for Sister Song Yu, she said that although she was helping Shunniang a little, the most important thing was that Shunniang was hardworking, willing to work and smart. She was optimistic about Shunniang and said that she would definitely achieve something in the future.

Shunniang laughed stupidly, and when she finished laughing, she remembered that she would go back to the banquet at noon today, and followed the plan that Mrs. Wu proposed, which she modified.So he stood up and bid farewell to Sister Song Yu, saying that she would not be able to have dinner with Sister Song Yu at noon today because she still had something to do at home and she had to go back early.

Sister Song Yu was a little disappointed that Niang Shun couldn't have lunch with her. These days, Niang Shun accompanied her for lunch, which made her very happy. She felt that as long as Niang Shun was by her side, she would eat an extra bowl of rice.But people said that they had to go back because they had something to do at home, and it was not good to force them to stay, so Sister Song Yu said dejectedly, "Well, if you have something to do at home, go back, and it's the same when you come to accompany my sister tomorrow."

"En." Shun Niang nodded.

Sister Song Yu gave Shunniang a few more words, and then personally sent her out of the store. She watched Shunniang jump into the ox cart and disappear into the bustling crowd of people on the street before going back.

It was noon when Shunniang drove the ox cart to Yangliu Town. After she drove the cart into the courtyard of Xie's family and parked it, she found that the door on the wall of Xi's house had been opened today, and her sister-in-law Qi was in the yard here. He was carrying water by the well, and chatter and laughter came from the backyard of Xi's house next door.

She walked over to help Mrs. Qi carry water, but Mrs. Qi refused, saying that everyone was waiting for Shunniang to come back before the banquet started. Also, she found a set of clean clothes for Shunniang and asked Shunniang to come upstairs. Go up and change down to toast the guests.

Shunniang knew that Xie Yi and his wife had ordered a table, so she asked her sister-in-law why she was carrying water, maybe she was cooking.

The Qi family said: "There are many visitors, so people always want to drink tea. My servant will bring some water to make tea for the guests."

She urged Shunniang to go back and change her clothes, don't waste time here.

Shunniang smiled, and fetched some water from the well to wash her face and hands, then went out from Xie's butcher's shop, entered the house through the main entrance of Xi's house, went upstairs, and took the cake that sister-in-law had prepared for herself. The clean clothes for meeting guests were changed.

Shun Niang looked at the bronze mirror that her sister-in-law placed on the small table next to the bed, and smiled. She never thought that she would have this day, not only to play a female man, but also to play a future It's ridiculous that the bridegroom who is hosting the wedding is in charge.

In order to have a good life for the family, and to overcome the hurdle in front of her, Shunniang felt that no matter how poor her acting skills were, she had to continue acting.

Coming down from upstairs, Shunniang went directly to the backyard, and found that there were about six tables in the backyard of Xi’s house. She knew the Lu family, and the Hu family who opened a grocery store opposite. The others were often seen but did not know their surnames. Some people who are very famous.

As soon as he saw Shunniang enter the backyard, Lu Zhanxian ran over to congratulate her, saying that he knew that he and Shunniang were destined, and now they became brothers-in-law.

Shunniang could only say that she was engaged now, and she was still far away from officially becoming brother-in-law.

Lu Zhan said: "The fixed date will come in a blink of an eye. It's a pity that my ineffective brother is not here, otherwise I wouldn't know how happy I am. However, you have fixed my wife's sister, and I am also happy for you..."

He didn't say anything later, because Lu Quan ran away from home because of Xi Erlang's widowed sister-in-law, and then it was rumored that he stopped Lu Quan because Xi Erlang had an affair with his widowed sister-in-law. Erlang made an engagement with Xie Erniang, which means there is no such thing.Therefore, Lu Zhan had two meanings in one sentence.

Shunniang vaguely sensed what Lu Zhan meant, but smiled.

Mrs. Liu brought the wine and asked Shunniang to toast Xie Yi and his wife, because they were about to become her father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Shunniang cooperated with her mother in acting, and went over with wine to toast Xie Yi and his wife, next to the Lu family, the Hu family, and those people she didn't know who came to visit today. Everyone also congratulated Shunniang.Fortunately, the alcohol content was not high at this time, and Mrs. Liu brought her another small cup, and Shun Niang drank it next to the table without feeling dizzy.

After she had finished toasting, Lu Zhan's wife, Aunt Xie, came out, dragged Erniang Xie, who was shyly wearing a red wedding dress, brought the wine to toast Liu's mother-in-law, and then followed everyone's yelling. The mother clinked a glass of wine and drank a glass of wine, then left the scene blushing.

Seeing that Xiaojiali was dressed like a bride, Shunniang couldn't help secretly praising her for being good at acting. However, she also noticed that Xiaojiali looked shy in such a wedding dress, and said that she It's not too much for a person to be more charming than a flower.

Today, Xie Yi and his wife paid for the Xiaojiao shop in the town to make a neat table with chicken, duck and fish. After congratulating the Xie family and the Xi family on becoming relatives, the guests let go of their stomachs to eat.Anyway, no one asked what it meant to make an appointment soon, because usually the men and women in the town would hold the banquet only after they had made an appointment.Everyone thought that Xie's family was rich, and it was decided that they would hold a banquet soon, and they would definitely do it again after the official decision was made, anyway, they were invited to have a free meal, and they didn't care about other people's business.Only Old Master Lu asked Xie Yi in detail what it meant that the decision was about to be made, and Xie Yi vaguely said that it was a decision made later and celebrated first.

Before Old Master Lu could ask again, Xie Yi had already poured a bowl of wine and handed it over, forcing Old Master Lu to drink with him.

After three rounds of drinking and five dishes on the menu, when the guests were eating happily, they suddenly heard the sound of a gong outside. It turned out that the people in the town who were working under Lizheng called everyone to the market in the south of the town. There is something to announce, please be sure to meet there within half an hour.

The market in the south of Yangliu Town only had two days for the townspeople and nearby villagers to sell all kinds of things. Today is the seventh day of August, which is a single day, so there is no one in the market, so it becomes Lizheng. A great place to gather everyone for a lecture.

The townspeople in the town heard the sound of the gong and went out one after another to the market in the south.

The guests eating noodles in the small courtyard of Xi’s family could only wipe their mouths and go out in response to the call. As for Shun Niang, when she heard the sound of the gong outside, the people on the errands under Lizheng called the townspeople to gather at the southern market. He couldn't help guessing that Guo Li was about to uphold justice for him and clarify the rumors made by Zhao's mother and son.If this is the case, then this hypothetical parent is superfluous.Even though it wasn't a formal decision, and it wasn't a big deal, Shunniang still felt that this would put a burden on her, as if when she left Yangliu Town in the future and left behind her so-called betrothal, Xie Erniang, she would feel a little sorry for her.

She has decided to live in Yangliu Town for a year or so at most, and if she has money, she will move into Bianliang City and buy a cheap house in the suburbs of Bianliang City, so that she can do bean sprouts business and get rid of Yangliu Town Go up to those villains who don't know when to trip her up, such as the mother and son of the Zhao family.

She planned to buy a house in Yangliu Town before, but at that time she didn't do bean sprouts business, and she didn't have much money to save, so she could only buy a house in Yangliu Town. She didn't want to go back to Xijiazhuang, and followed the life route drawn by her mother Go, that's marrying and farming, she doesn't want to live that kind of life.

Another consideration is that Shunniang thinks that Xijiazhuang is only fifty miles away from Yangliu Town. If the villagers of Xijiazhuang who know about Xijia come to Yangliu Town one day and see her mother and sister-in-law, then she will His identity will definitely be exposed, after all, the Xi family only has one son, Xi Dalang, when will another Xi Erlang appear?
