Earn money to support your family in ancient times

Tang Yuan went to the official media, but at first the official media was not very happy, and disliked the little money given by the countrymen.

"I said, little brother, why don't you go to your village and ask. There must be matchmakers in your village. The journey is too far, and it's not convenient for me to go there," the matchmaker politely refused, and then said to Tang Yuan, "More What's more, it's just marrying a brother, and the matchmakers in your own village are enough."

Generally, only those who are more particular, richer families will invite official media to propose marriage. A gift and that's it.

Inviting official media to propose a marriage also shows how much they value each other, and it is a decent thing, but those who marry older brothers, unless the family is rich, will just hire private media.

The matchmaker didn't think Tang Yuan was a wealthy family, so he said so.

Tang Yuan didn't want to wrong Su Nuo, so he paused, and said to the matchmaker: "Thank you for your hard work, aunt, I will pay for the transportation fee, and then I will give you four silver taels of thank-you money for the matchmaker."

Four renminbi silver is more than four hundred renminbi. Four renminbi can be exchanged for four hundred renminbi, but four hundred renminbi may not necessarily be exchanged for four renminbi.

Normally, if you invite an official media, three renminbi is enough, and four renminbi is quite generous.

"Really?!" The matchmaker quickly changed his face, raised a smile, and shook his handkerchief, "If that's the case, I'll just go with you." She hasn't met such a generous owner for a long time, so Brother is really lucky.

"I don't know what I want to buy when I go to propose a marriage?" Tang Yuanchao cupped his hands to the matchmaker, "Please tell me, ma'am."

Tang Yuan promised a generous amount of money to thank the matchmaker. The matchmaker was happy, and with the leisure time, he simply smiled and said: "I don't think you are like someone with elders in the family. You are willing to spend so much money to give that brother a face. I don’t want to wrong him even if I want to come for the bride price, since I need to be more particular, I can’t tell you clearly, if you are free now, I will accompany you to buy all these things.”

"Then thank you, auntie!" Tang Yuan's eyes lit up, "My aunt is right, I am indeed the only one in my family, and you are troubled, auntie Lao."

"My eyes are right. If there is an elder, you won't come alone." The matchmaker stood up and walked out. After taking two steps, he turned his head and asked Tang Yuandao, "Have you brought enough money?" , do you want to go back and get it?"

Tang Yuan looked at the matchmaker and asked hesitantly, "Is 20 taels enough?"

This is the money earned in the store in recent days, plus the deposit given by Young Master Qian just now, if the money is not enough, Tang Yuan will have to go back and get it.

The matchmaker's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Tang Yuan differently.

"Enough, enough, sure enough!"

She didn't expect that this young man looked ordinary, but his temperament and appearance were better than ordinary people, and he was dressed in ordinary clothes. She didn't expect that this shot was 20 taels!

She swallowed her saliva, she no longer dared to underestimate Tang Yuan, and she spoke more kindly.

"Don't worry, the aunt will definitely choose for you carefully! Keep your father-in-law and mother-in-law satisfied!"

Tang Yuan nodded with a smile, and went shopping with the matchmaker.

"Let me tell you, for the betrothal gift, you must have cloth and chicken, and you have to buy them in pairs. As for how much you buy, you decide," the matchmaker kept talking on the road, "If it is more expensive, It’s jewelry, but people in the countryside rarely pay attention to this, you don’t have to buy it, or you can replace it with a pig, it’s really good!”

"By the way, you have to pay the bride price. Rural people usually pay a few hundred cash, and the richer ones are two or three taels of silver. You can decide this yourself. There are also various pastries. You also have to buy a few catties. This There are good and bad, it's up to you to choose."

Tang Yuan listened silently, counting his own money in his heart. After a while, he raised his head and looked at the matchmaker: "You just pay according to the betrothal gifts of those who marry daughter-in-law in the town, and I will increase or decrease the rest." Anyway. Within his ability, he would give Nuo Ge'er the best wedding he could do.

"Hey! That's it! Then I'm sure!" The matchmaker clapped his hands and hurriedly dragged Tang Yuan to go shopping.

First, he went to the cloth shop to buy four bolts of fine cloth, all of which were fine cloth with festive colors and auspicious patterns. Tang Yuan looked at it and chose another piece of coarse cloth and another piece of blue fine cloth. He felt that Su Nuo had fair skin and wore blue. The color is definitely better.

Seeing his actions, the matchmaker completely understood in his heart, and let go of the rest.

She didn't cheat Tang Yuan, she only went to shops with real business, and she was more ruthless than Tang Yuan who paid for it. After she got the things, she was still unsatisfied, and she hoped to have another show.

Tang Yuan definitely couldn't get enough of these cloths, so he could only ask the buddy to deliver them to the store. Anyway, he was going to propose marriage with the matchmaker tomorrow, so he would sleep in the store tonight.

"Yo! So you are the owner of Tang Ji Restaurant!" The matchmaker looked at Tang Yuan in surprise, and said with a smile, "I've heard about your restaurant a long time ago, but I just didn't find a chance to try it."

No wonder he was so generous, Tang Kee restaurant is very popular!

Tang Yuan said softly: "When the matter is settled, I will definitely treat you to a good meal."

The matchmaker laughed from ear to ear: "That's good! I'll just wait!"

It took the two of them nearly two hours to finally buy all the things, and Tang Yuan's wallet quickly collapsed.

The matchmaker put his hands on his hips, wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, and spoke a little out of breath: "Come on, I've bought all the things, and you can pick me up tomorrow with your things."

Tang Yuan showed a hint of joy, and thanked: "Thank you, Ma'am, I will pick you up at Chenshi tomorrow."

The matchmaker nodded: "Success."

When Tang Yuan went back, Su Nuo and the others had already gone back, only Huzi was still in the store.

As soon as he saw Tang Yuan coming back, he rushed up and pulled Tang Yuan nervously and asked, "San'er, why did you buy so many things?! What happened?"

What chicken, cloth, pastry, so many things, he almost couldn't see them!

"It's okay," Tang Yuan counted his things, the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and said to Huzi, "I'm going to go to Nuo Ge'er's house to propose marriage tomorrow."

"What?!" Huzi, who was so nervous, always thought that Tang Yuan only regarded Su Nuo as his younger brother. When he heard this, his mouth opened wide in surprise, "You are going to Nuo Ge'er's house to propose marriage?!"

"Yes," Tang Yuan felt happy thinking about tomorrow, and said with a smile, "Brother Huzi, if you have nothing to do tomorrow, you can go there with me. According to your seniority, you are also my elder."

Huzi digested it hard, wiped his face, and agreed: "Success! Tomorrow I will dig out my best clothes and save face for you!" San'er was going to propose a marriage, how could he not go along!

The morning star looms in the sky, and a few sparrows are resting under the eaves.

Tang Yuan lifted the quilt and got up, washed carefully, and then changed into a new suit, which he left in the store as a spare.

Brother Huzi shivered from the cold, wiped his face vigorously, and then got up.

Last night Tang Yuan had already packed all the things, he put the things in the car, and said to Huzi: "Brother Huzi, I will go to pick up the matchmaker first, I forgot to tell Da Zhuang and the others yesterday, wait for them to come , you just tell them it’s a day off this morning, and it’s up to them to go back or stay in the shop.”

"Then you go to the village, buy me a pig, and rush to Nuoge'er's house."

Pointing at the full load of things in the car, Huzi said in disbelief, "You've bought so much, and you still want to buy another pig?!" A farmer's family can have a pig in their home, which is very enviable!

Tang Yuan took out two taels of silver to Huzi: "Brother Huzi, please."

Huzi reluctantly took the money: "All right, as long as you don't feel bad."

Tang Yuan didn't feel distressed, if he could get his husband back sooner, he would be willing to spend more money!

Tang Yuan went to pick up the matchmaker, and then went to Su's house with a cart full of things.

When he arrived in the village, it was the time when the villagers had breakfast and chatted in twos and threes. When they saw the full load of things in his car, they all stared at him intently.

Seeing that Tang Yuan was not walking in the direction of his house, someone said: "This is not the direction to go back to Brother Tang's house, where are all these things going?"

Some people figured it out as soon as they turned their heads: "Didn't you see that there is a matchmaker sitting on it! It must be to propose a marriage!"

"Yo! Whose daughter is so lucky! Such a cart of stuff, no matter how much it costs ten taels of silver!" Someone clapped their hands excitedly, and quickly followed Tang Yuan's car, "I have to go and have a look!"

"Hey wait for me! I'll go too!"

"Let's go, let's go together!"

It's winter, and the field is not busy. This time there is such a lively scene, and everyone swarms to join in the fun.

Tang Yuan was almost at Su's house and suddenly remembered that he didn't tell Su Nuo to wait at home yesterday.

A trace of pity flashed in his heart, he got out of the car, straightened his clothes in front of Su's house, and raised his hand to knock on the door.

As soon as he knocked, the door opened, Su's mother and Su's father were dressed in neat clothes, and said in a gentle tone: "Xiao Yuan, what's the matter?"

The group of people who watched the excitement behind laughed loudly: "What else can this do! Come to propose marriage!"

Su's mother glared at the man, looked at Tang Yuan, and stepped aside: "Come in first."

Tang Yuan pursed his lips, tightened the hands hanging beside him, and followed Mother Su into the room with a little rigidity.

Mother Su pushed out the people who wanted to follow the crowd and closed the courtyard door.

Then as soon as he turned around, he was warmly supported by the matchmaker.

"Sister, sit down," the matchmaker pushed Mother Su onto the chair, and pointed at the car parked in the yard with a smile on his face, "I'm here to propose marriage to Brother Tang! Your brother is well-behaved and sensible. It's a perfect match! Do you think?"

Mother Su rarely looked at Tang Yuan with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice, "Do you really want to marry Brother Nuo?"

Tang Yuan said sternly: "Of course, I'm dissatisfied with you. I have long liked Nuo Ge'er. It would be my good fortune to marry him as my husband."

Mother Su's expression softened, and she stared at Tang Yuan sharply again: "I can agree to this marriage, but you have to promise me one request."

Tang Yuan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Say it!"

He didn't expect Mother Su to let go so easily, even if he wanted the moon in the sky, he would find a way to get it off!

Mother Su: "No matter what happens in the future, you can only have Brother Nuo alone!"

As the saying goes, if a man has money, he will turn bad. Tang Yuan doesn't seem to stop at just opening a small restaurant. When he has more money, if he has other thoughts, it won't be a pain for Brother Nuo.

Tang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then decisively agreed: "Okay! I—"

Before he could speak, Mother Su got up and opened the courtyard door. The spectators hadn't dispersed yet, and now they all poured in.

Tang Yuan suddenly understood Su's mother's thoughts, turned around and raised his voice to everyone: "I'm here to propose marriage to Su's family today, please help me to be a witness!"

"I swear here, no matter what happens in the future, I, Tang Yuan, have no one else except Brother Nuo, otherwise I will be struck by lightning!"

Everyone was shocked for a moment, and then they all said in unison: "Brother Nuo is really lucky! Brother Tang, I wish you and Brother Nuo have a peaceful and beautiful life!"

Seeing this, Su's mother burst into a smile, and said to Tang Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, this marriage, I and Nuo Ge'er's father have agreed!"

Tang Yuan was so happy that he didn't know what to say, he bowed his hands to Su's father and Su's mother.

"Give way, let's all make way!"

When everyone heard the loud voice, they turned their heads to look, and their eyes were glued to the big fat pig!

Huzi drove the pig through the crowd, and said to Tang Yuan, "San'er, I'm here for the pig!"

Mother Su looked at Tang Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, what is this?"

Tang Yuan drove the pigs to a somewhat dilapidated pigsty, and said to Su's mother, "This is also a betrothal gift."

The matchmaker glanced left and right, as if reporting the name of a dish, and said all the betrothal gifts.

She licked her lips, took a breath, and continued: "Not only these things, but also ten taels of silver!"

Everyone was startled, and no one made a sound for a few moments.

After a while, someone said in a sour tone: "Brother Tang is really generous, our village has never seen such a big fight."

"Who says it's not, marrying a daughter-in-law from the town is enough."

Someone looked at the matchmaker and said, "This is the official media. We haven't seen anyone in our village ask the official media to propose marriage."

The matchmaker straightened his back: "Hey, it's not that little brother Tang values ​​brother Su's family."

Mother Su finally realized that she subconsciously wanted Tang Yuan to take some things back, but she swallowed the words again.

This is a betrothal gift, so there is no way to return it at will.

Mother Su smiled warmly and patted Tang Yuan on the shoulder.

It seems that her brother Nuo has found a good home.
