Chapter 484: Matchmaker's Quarrel 1
Chapter 484: Matchmaker's Quarrel 1
When cutting corners, keep a center point.
The center point that is retained is about the size of an egg.
Fold the four cut corners toward the center and fix them with needle and thread.
Then use a small bamboo stick to pass through the center point where the windmill is folded.
Then use a knife to carve a small hole in another slightly larger bamboo branch.
Then fold the small bamboo branch at the center point and insert it into the small hole in the bamboo branch that you just cut.
Finally, use hemp rope to firmly secure the two bamboo branches.
An Yue was jogging in the yard with the small windmill in her hand, and the windmill began to turn rapidly.
Xiaobao watched the windmill whirring and he followed An Yue excitedly.
He chased after her and shouted, "Auntie, I want to play too."
An Yue stopped and handed the windmill to Xiao Bao.
Xiaobao held the little windmill and ran around in circles in the yard.
An Yue went back to sit down with Chunzhi and her sister-in-law Meng Xiuer.
Meng Xiuer watched Xiaobao running happily in the yard.
She smiled and said to An Yue: "It is said that Xiaobao likes to pester his aunt to play. As an aunt, you can always come up with some new things."
Chunzhi also stopped what she was doing and looked at the small windmill in Xiaobao's hand.
Said: "Miss, you are really amazing. You made a small toy in just three or five steps."
"This little windmill is very easy to make. Look how happy our little treasure is playing with it!"
As they spoke, the three of them sat together and lowered their heads to start doing needlework.
At this moment, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside the yard.
dong dong dong.
Eighty, who was lying in the doghouse, heard a noise outside the door.
He quickly stood up, lowered his tail and ran to the yard, barking wildly at the gate.
Chunzhi shouted at the door: "Who is it?"
A woman's voice came from outside the door.
"Is Miss An Yue at home?"
Chunzhi stood up and walked towards the gate of the yard.
Slowly opening the door, I saw a plump middle-aged woman with a big red flower hanging on her ear.
"you are?"
The woman smiled and replied, "I am Mrs. Wang from Wangjia Village. I am here today to discuss marriage."
"Grandma Wang..."
Before Chunzhi could finish her words, she rushed into the yard in a hurry.
Holding a handkerchief in his hand, he walked and laughed, shouting, "Hey, the girl is home today."
Chunzhi turned back to An Yue and spread out his hands helplessly.
An Yue covered her mouth and smiled at Chunzhi.
Then, Chunzhi turned around and prepared to close the gate of the yard.
Just then, a woman's voice was heard from outside the door.
"Wait a minute."
Chunzhi stretched her neck and looked out, and saw a tall and thin woman running towards the gate.
She ran out of breath and asked, panting, "Is Miss An Yue at home?"
Chunzhi smiled awkwardly and looked at Anyue in the yard. Anyue rolled her eyes and nodded at Chunzhi.
Chunzhi turned around and said to the woman outside the gate, "I'm home, who are you?"
"I am Mrs. Zhang from Zhangjia Village."
"Please come in, Aunt Zhang."
Chunzhi greeted her symbolically and let the woman enter the gate of the courtyard.
An Yue thought that the two matchmakers arriving at the same time would be a good opportunity for comparison.
When Meng Xiu'er saw the two matchmakers coming to her door, she quickly put down the needlework in her hands.
She said, "Please take a seat, both grandmas."
Then, Meng Xiuer called Chuncun to go to the main hall with her to pour tea.
This is just great.
Two matchmakers sat together.
Mrs. Wang, who came in first, squinted her eyes and looked at Mrs. Zhang who came in later with an unhappy look on her face and said, "Hey, why are you here too?"
Mrs. Zhang, who came later, folded her arms across her chest, cleared her throat, and replied, "You can come to the An family, so why can't I come?"
An Yue, who was sitting in the yard, was stunned again and again.
Xiaobao was still running around in the yard playing with the windmill. He ran up to the two matchmakers and looked at them with his eyes wide open.
The two matchmakers looked at each other sideways, as if they were disgusted with each other and neither of them would submit to the other.
Meng Xiuer and Chunzhi brought tea. Meng Xiuer said to the two matchmakers, "Grandmothers, please have some tea."
They both turned their heads, smiled and took the teacups from Chunzhi and Meng Xiuer, and took a sip.
Mrs. Wang put down her teacup first and said with a smile, "Young lady, I, Mrs. Wang, came here today to find you an excellent marriage."
"The man's family I'm talking about is the richest family in Wangjia Village. They own hundreds of acres of fertile land, and their home is also a large house with blue bricks and tiles!"
"This prince is also very handsome. If the girl marries him, she will never have to worry about food and clothing."
Before she finished her words, Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting next to her, interrupted and said, "Miss An Yue, don't listen to her bragging."
"The family I told the girl about is a truly good family."
"The man in this family is a young scholar with a clean family background and good family traditions. The two elders in the family are also kind people."
"The most important thing is this young man, he is a modest gentleman with elegant demeanor."
"If the girl marries him, she will be the mistress of the family in the future, and maybe even be given the title of a royal lady."
When Wang Po heard this, she became anxious.
She pointed at Mrs. Zhang and said unhappily, "Why are you like this? I haven't even finished talking yet and you interrupt me."
"What's so good about that scholar you mentioned! He's just a poor student from a poor family. How can he be as down-to-earth as the rich family I mentioned!"
Mrs. Zhang was also anxious. She put her hands on her hips and her face turned red with anger.
"Who are you calling poor? The guy you're talking about is, to put it nicely, a wealthy man in the village. To put it bluntly, he's just a peasant anyway. How can he be worthy of Miss Anyue?"
Afterwards, Mrs. Zhang turned to An Yue and said with a smile, "Miss An Yue, this young man I'm talking about will become a high-ranking official sooner or later."
After saying that, she turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang beside her and said veiledly: "By then, you will be much more powerful than those rich peasants in the village!"
At this time, my aunt and grandmother were sewing shoe soles in the east wing room, and Da Niu was in the room in the small backyard.
Hearing the loud noise in the yard, they all rushed over.
The aunt asked, "What happened?"
Meng Xiuer leaned close to her grandmother and mother-in-law's ears and explained, "Mom, grandmother, two matchmakers are here to propose a marriage for Yueyue."
"But they each said something good, and they kept arguing, and they just started to shout like this."
At this time, the two matchmakers were still arguing with each other.
......
Mrs. Wang was so angry that she stamped her feet and gnashed her teeth, "You old thing! Miss An Yue is so smart, she knows how to do business and farm. If she marries into a rich family, she will live a good life where she can call the wind and rain."
Not to be outdone, Mrs. Zhang pointed at Mrs. Wang and cursed, "You are the old thing!"
