Chapter 22 Happy event? Disaster?
People sit at home, and disaster falls from heaven.
This is Yu Zhi.
Early in the morning, the magpie croaked on the branch, and Mother Jiang was very happy, "The magpie is croaking, a happy event has arrived. Today's maoxiang biscuits must be selling well."
Cherry was not convinced, and continued, "What kind of happy event is that? When will our sauce cake not sell well? Slaves, look, the third master will definitely come today." This is a happy event.
"Yes, yes, it is a great joy for the third master to come." Jiang's mother slapped herself, looking at Yu Zhi, while preparing to go out cheerfully.
Yu Zhi curled his lips, and turned his face to the side, pretending not to hear.
We are just a small office, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, wouldn't it be nice to lie flat? Why do you still welcome big leaders to inspect your work? Is it necessary to roll like this? Give people a way out.
At the end of the hour, there are really guests coming to the door.
Yu Zhi was in the room, and when she heard that Cherry was arguing with someone outside, she came out and saw that she was blocking the door and pushing the two of them out.
One of them is the neighbor Aunt Li, and the other one is unknown, but Yu Zhi can guess it just by looking at her clothes.
"What's the matter?" Aunt Li's hands were darkened, and Yu Zhi hurriedly called out, fearing that Cherry would suffer.
"Hey, this is Ms. Yu, isn't she? Sure enough, she has a beautiful face. My old lady has been walking around the streets with people and mediators for decades, and I have never seen anyone with such a symbol as a girl."
This matchmaker, dressed in red and green, waving a round fan in her hand, powdered on her face, and with a **** mole hanging from the corner of her mouth, praised Yu Zhi.
Her shrewd eyes looked at Yu Zhi up and down, and moved closer to Yu Zhi as if familiar.
Yu Zhi held a book in his hand, blocked it a bit, took a step back indistinctly, and distanced himself from her.
Aunt Li also squeezed over, "Miss Yu is at home! You girl, you still lied to me that you are not here. You are full of lies at a young age, but it is not a good thing." She still didn't forget to turn her head and said, "I am looking for your girl. I'm not looking for you again."
Cherry was furious, "What are you doing at our house? Do you want to steal something again, get out, get out."
"You girl, how do you talk? Someone stole from your house. He is ignorant and has no rules." Aunt Li was not happy, and reprimanded her.
"Cherry." Yu Zhi gave her a soothing look. Since Aunt Li fell last time, it has been quiet for a while, today is this—Yu Zhi is also very curious which play she is singing today?
Although there are three women in their family, none of them need a matchmaker to come to the door, right?
"Aunt Li is this?" Yu Zhi asked.
Aunt Li smiled without saying a word, and pushed the matchmaker. The matchmaker immediately laughed loudly, shook her handkerchief, and said happily, "The girl is very happy, the old woman congratulated the girl." With an exaggerated expression, the eyebrows almost fly out.
"Where does the joy come from?" Yu Zhi raised his eyebrows lightly, pressing down on the cherry to be fried.
"My old lady was entrusted by Aunt Li to propose marriage to Ms. Yu. Have you seen Aunt Li's son? He is a handsome man, suave, and a scholar. He is about the same age as the girl. It is a perfect marriage made by nature. .
"It stands to reason that this marriage shouldn't be mentioned to you, Ms. Yu, but isn't your parents gone? It's a special case, we are not a big family, so we don't pay much attention to it.
"A man of talent and beauty, in the future, the little brother of the Zhao family will pass the examination as a scholar, Miss Yu, you will be an official wife, a blessing that you will never enjoy in your life—"
She really deserves to be a matchmaker, her mouth is eloquent, and one person can support the plot of the entire episode.
But Yu Zhi only thought it was a fantasy, she and Zhao Youzhi? What did Aunt Li think?
But Aunt Li is the one who doesn't know what to do, "-- I know the basics, and everyone knows that I have a good temper. I am not the one who treats my daughter-in-law harshly. There is only one son in the family, and all the family business belongs to him alone. , our family doesn’t dislike your fate, it’s just that in the future, when you marry, you have to take care of the housework, serve with aspirations, and carry on the family line of our old Zhao family. It’s best to have more sons—”
Yu Zhi was stunned, the thunder was rolling!
She has lived three lifetimes, and it was the first time she was struck speechless by lightning. Compared with Aunt Li, those uncles and aunts who are hated so much that they are so unreasonable are nothing compared to Aunt Li.
Aunt Li has a good temper and treats people seriously? Did she misunderstand herself? What is the nickname "Ghost Seeing Sorrow" given to her by the neighbors in Taohuali? She is not good to her own daughter, how can she be good to her daughter-in-law? I don't believe it!
Talking about family business is even more ridiculous, her family will not be hungry, and the most valuable thing is the dilapidated yard where she lives. Who cares!
I still think she is hard to kill her--where is my sword? bring it!
"No, I don't agree." Yu Zhi directly refused.
Aunt Li didn't believe it, "Why don't you agree? Our family is aspiring to be a scholar, and we will be an official in the future. You are an orphan, it's good if my family doesn't despise you, why don't you want to?" dislike.
Don't get angry, don't get angry, there is no one to replace you when you get sick.
Yu Zhi was lucky silently, "I don't deserve it! How powerful your son is, before you get married, there are several women vying to have a son for him, girl Cuizhu from Fengyue Pavilion, girl Chunxiang from Chunfang Tower, and girl from Yixiangyuan. Miss Liu'er, oh, and the little widow in Liuye Hutong, East Street." The matchmaker said it right, he is indeed romantic, only romantic, not suave.
Yu Zhi counted on his fingers, "I am not worthy of such a person. What do you think I want him to be? I want him to be poor? I want him to be ugly? I want him to have a kidney deficiency?"
As for how she knew so clearly, those little beggars in Wood told her.
"You are talking nonsense!" Aunt Li was furious, her voice was sharp, "You little hoof dare to ruin my son's reputation, I, I will kill you." She slapped and rushed towards Yu Zhi.
Yu Zhi flashed and backed away. Aunt Li couldn't stop herself, she lay down on the ground, facing Yu Zhi, as if kowtowing to her.
Yu Zhi hurriedly put aside the relationship, "I didn't touch her, everyone saw that she fell down by herself."
"Yes, we all saw it, she fell down by herself."
"That's right, she still wants to hit Ms. Yu."
"This old guy is really shameless."
The doorway was full of people at some point, pointing at Aunt Li and the matchmaker, and talking about it.
Compared to Aunt Li who hates people and dogs, Yu Zhi's reputation is undoubtedly much better. She was beautiful, and always greeted people with a smile when she met her in the alley. The key is to know how to behave, and often let the servants at home send some pastries or something, and the relationship between neighbors is very good.
Seeing so many people gathered around the door, Aunt Li and the matchmaker panicked, especially the matchmaker, who complained dissatisfiedly, "You said I'm sure I'm sure I'm going to go this trip with you, aren't you ruining my brand?"
"You still charge me twenty coins. If the matter is not done, you return my money." Aunt Li was not to be outdone.
The two even quarreled, Yu Zhi really wanted to see their dog bite the dog, and was worried that the fight would damage her flowers and plants. The flowers and plants don't matter, the key is her cobblestone path.
"Cherry, kick people out."
"Hey!" Cherry was waiting for this sentence, picked up the big broom leaning against the wall, and hit Aunt Li, making you uneasy and kind, making you feel awkward, the toad wants to eat swan meat, what a face !
The two ran away with their heads in their arms, but were still hit several times.
Cherry stood at the door in relief, took a sip, and said harshly, "If you dare to bully my girl again, I will kill you!"
