Chapter 679 Extra Story Qu Weizhen Sister and Brother (8)

There was a lot of movement in the Qu family last night, and Wang Po has been paying attention to it carefully. When she was hesitating whether to come to inquire, the dog girl who lived next door to the Qu family pulled her to the banyan tree at the entrance of the village with an excited face.

A group of villagers gathered there, they were all gossiping and speculating about what happened to the Qu family last night.

Gouziniang lowered her voice and said, "I know, I fell off the kang because of the movement last night, so I quickly got up to watch, and I happened to see Mr. Qu arguing with his three daughters."

"Why the noise?"

"You don't believe me when I say it, it's because of Zhaodi's marriage. Now that Pandi is promising, she dares to call off her elder sister's marriage."

"It's fine to return it, but what kind of marriage is that marriage in Wangjiazhuang? It's a waste of that girl Zhaodi's marriage."

"That should also be the matter of the third brother and the third sister-in-law. How can Pandi, a girl, still take care of housework? She is used to it!"

Wang Po hurriedly asked: "Then is the marriage going to go away or not?"

"Refunded, Xiaobao went to return it himself this morning, and my dog ​​sent him there," Gouziniang lowered her voice and said, "Their family returned all the previous deposit. I heard that Mr. Wang was very angry, but there was nothing he could do to take Xiaobao. Listening to Gouzi, his husband is very powerful, or what kind of teacher. Gouzi's child didn't speak clearly, and I didn't quite understand."

Wang Po breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled nonchalantly: "Can you not be amazing? That is the Jinshi master. I heard that he is still a high-ranking official. Although many years have passed, I still remember their appearance. Oh, that lady is like a fairy, not to mention that gentleman, a fairy is not as handsome as him."

"Wang Po, have you committed your prettiness again?"

"Go, go, I don't dare to look at such a fairy. It's been a blessing for several lifetimes to have a look at him. How dare I make trouble with him?"

After Wang Po got the exact news, she was in a hurry to talk to the matchmaker, so she didn't sit still, and went out of the village waving her hands.

Everyone took it for granted when they saw it. Wang Po was going to be a matchmaker and often went to other villages, but no one thought that she was going to be a matchmaker for Qu Zhaodi.

Wang Po first went to the man's house to ask what they wanted. If she was interested, she could mention it to Qu Weizhen, and then she could find a chance to see each other.

It was dark when Wang Po returned home, she simply washed up and went to bed, and when she woke up the next morning, she randomly chose a handkerchief to visit Qu's house.

Mother Qu's expression was still sour, she saw Wang Po forced a smile and asked, "Why is Wang Po coming to my house today when you are free?"

"Didn't I hear that Pandi came back? I used to have a plain handkerchief, and I've always wanted to embroider something on it, but my daughter-in-law is so clumsy. I heard that Pandi learned skills outside, so I want to ask her for help, or embroider flowers on it, or embroider a few grasses. Anyway, just look a little bit."

Mother Qu twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "Nuo, Miss Qianjin is lying in the room, you can go find it."

Wang Po laughed cheerfully, as if she couldn't understand her sarcasm at all, she happily went to Qu Weizhen's room.

The four sisters of the Qu family shared a room, and because their mother was in the yard, Zhaodi and the three of them dared not go out, so they sat in the room with Qu Weizhen who was resting in bed.

Qu Jingxi simply moved the homework here to do it, and taught her sisters how to read by doing it herself. There were no other requirements, and she had to know her own name first.

Qu Weizhen hurt her shoulder and couldn't lift a pen, so she was reading a book and occasionally teaching her elder sister and the others.

When Wang Po entered the room and saw such a scene, she couldn't help but pause. The first feeling in her heart was that the Qu family was about to fly.

She felt very sorry, but it was a pity that she did not have two more sons, otherwise she would marry and recruit their sisters, and they would have a good relative in the future.

"Wang Po is here, please sit down." Qu Weizhen closed the book when she saw her, smiled and pointed to the side of the bed.

Zhao Di hurriedly moved a stool for Wang Po.

Wang Po sat down with a smile, pretending not to see her injury, so as not to embarrass her, she only looked at Zhaodi with her eyes, then took her hand and said: "It's only been a few days, why do I think Zhaodi is more beautiful?"

Zhao Di blushed and lowered her head, murmuring not knowing what to say.

"The age of sixteen or seventeen is the best time. If you eat well, you will look beautiful." Qu Weizhen asked with a smile, "Wang Po is here today?"

"Uh," Wang Po glanced at Zhaodi and said, "You already have some clues about what you told me earlier, look at this..."

Qu Jingxi, who was sitting in the corner of the room doing homework, couldn't help but paused, and then looked over.

Zhaodi didn't remember it for a while, it was Laidi who pulled the corner of her clothes and gave her a wink before she understood, and she blushed immediately, she didn't expect Sanmei to go to Wang Po so early.

She pulled away Wang Po's hand, turned around and was about to go out, when Pandi said: "Sister, you all stay, you should listen to it, if it's not suitable, let's change it."

Seeing that the girl lying on the bed didn't have a trace of shyness on her face, Wang Po couldn't help sighing, the people in the city are so bold, she has only lived in the city for a few years, and she doesn't even blush when talking about marriage.

Qu Weizhen didn't know what Wang Po was thinking, so she smiled and asked her to sit down.

Wang Po glanced around the room and saw that all five of the Qu family siblings were looking at her, so she coughed lightly and said, "According to the conditions you mentioned, I have considered and considered all the boys of the right age from all over the world, and I really came up with someone."

She smiled and said: "His family is in a better situation than yours. There are about 20 mu of land in the family. The second brother is at home. The elder brother at the top is married, and there is a younger brother at the bottom."

"What's the surname, I don't know where the owner is?"

"The surname is Liu, which is the Liu Zhuang closest to Runing City. It's a small village. There are only about 20 households in the village, but 99% of them are named Liu, which is considered a common surname." Wang Po laughed and said, "The Liu family's parents are well-known for their understanding and kindness.

"That lady is also easy to get along with. She was bright and cheerful when she was a girl. I also secured her marriage. Look, how well have you been married for the past three years?"

Because she knew that Qu Weizhen had high requirements, Wang Po searched for a long time, recorded all qualified ones and compared them together, and Liu Erlang had the best comprehensive qualifications among them.

If Qu Weizhen is not satisfied with this, then the rest will be even more mysterious.

The main reason is that she is too short on time. If she is more relaxed, she can go to the city and further places to find them.

Qu Jingxi asked from the side, "How is his character?"

"Be honest!" The matchmaker said without even thinking about it: "If Zhaodi is dishonest, I wouldn't dare to introduce him to him. He is an eighteen-year-old boy, strong in body, not bad in appearance, and simple and honest. I don't know how many girls are staring at him."

"He is so nice, why is he still not married at eighteen?" Qu Weizhen asked.

"Isn't it impossible to get the dowry money? His parents said long ago that a bowl of water for the three sons is flat. Back then, the eldest only gave three taels of dowry when he got married, plus the wedding banquet and big red envelopes for his in-laws, and the total money for making new clothes for the bride was only five taels. So the second and third children will also be the same amount in the future. But those who are interested in the dowry are asking for a bit high, so this has been delayed." Wang Po carefully looked at Qu Weizhen and said: "Pandi, didn't you say you don't care about the dowry gift?"

Qu Weizhen sneered and said, "Who said I don't value the bride price? I just said that I would not ask for an excessive bride price. Five taels is still acceptable, as long as others are good."

Wang Po's eyes lit up, "So this..."

"Let them meet sometime." Qu Weizhen thought for a moment, then looked at Qu Jingxi and said, "You go with eldest sister."

Qu Jingxi responded.

Qu Weizhen fumbled under the pillow, but she did not know where she found a purse, opened it, grabbed a dozen copper coins and stuffed it into Wang Po's hand, and said in a low voice: "I will trouble Wang Po, and my parents will not let them know for now, we will talk about it when we are more worried."

Wang Po understands that anyway, whoever gives her the matchmaker money will listen to him, not to mention that she is a matchmaker, Qu Jingxi is the only male in the Qu family, but she can also be the master of recruiting a concubine.

Wang Po cheerfully held the handkerchief and was about to leave, turned around and clapped her hands and said, "I almost forgot, Pandi, please embroider something on the handkerchief for me. I told your mother that I came to ask you to embroider the handkerchief."

Qu Weizhen took the handkerchief, asked Zhaodi to bring the sewing kit, picked out the five-color threads, and began to embroider.

Her shoulder was injured, so she embroidered very slowly, but in the eyes of Wang Po and others, it was also very fast. In less than a quarter of an hour, two small flowers were embroidered at the corner of the handkerchief.

Wang Po took the veil and exclaimed: "Oh, you have such a skill, even if you go back to the village in the future, you won't be afraid to starve to death. Whoever marries you is really a blessing."

Qu Weizhen smiled and said, "I'm too embarrassed to show this embroidery work to others, and it only costs a few pennies if I sell it in a cloth shop."

Wang Po didn't take it seriously, didn't the money all be saved up with a few pennies?

Zhaodi and Laidi Daidi also felt the same way, so they all looked at Qu Weizhen with envy and admiration.

Qu Weizhen said helplessly: "I am really not good at embroidery, so I dare not teach you, otherwise I will teach you how to sew clothes, and you can do it yourself in the future."

The three sisters know how to mend clothes, but they really don't know how to cut and sew clothes, because Mother Qu never taught them, and the clothes they wear are all modified by Mother Qu from her own old clothes.

Qu Weizhen asked them to take out the old clothes and cut them with scissors. The three of Zhaodi felt distressed when they saw it, so she smiled lowly and said, "If you don't get the old ones, you can get the new ones. You should use these old clothes to practice first."

She learned embroidery and clothes-making skills from Hongtao, and she was very enthusiastic about embroidery at first, because she thought it might be her way out.

Later, she did earn money from embroidery, earning a few pennies, and she was very satisfied. But when her younger brother was able to copy books in the bookstore to earn money, she realized that what the teacher said was true, learning calligraphy was more profitable than learning embroidery.

So she immediately devoted herself to her studies, working hard to practice her calligraphy and learn all kinds of homework well.

She has no special talent in embroidery, and relies on hard work, so after she slack off, her skills become rusty, and she has not made any progress. But making clothes is different. You have to make your own small clothes yourself.

Just like the teacher, there is Sister Heart at home, and there is a shop outside, but she and her husband make their own underwear and underwear. Ever since she knew that the teacher did not lie to her about making money, she likes to imitate her everywhere.

I dare not say that she knows what the teacher knows, but she will try her best to learn what the teacher knows.

As for making clothes, she learns more and more, and the clothes she brought home this time are all made by herself.

Qu Weizhen taught them how to cut them, and said in a low voice, "They are very knowledgeable in making clothes. Mothers like to leave cloth when they make clothes, so that when the clothes get too small, they can be untied and can be worn for many years. But there are several types of left cloth, some of which can be seen at a glance, while others cannot be seen."

Zhaodi and the others listened intently, Qu Weizhen lifted up a corner of the eldest sister's clothes, and said with a smile: "I also left cloth for your clothes, and when you learn how to sew, I will teach you how to remove the stitches and put the cloth..."

Qu Jingxi scratched her head and found that she didn't understand, so she turned around and went back to do her homework.

They are destined to have a hard time this holiday, and they don't know what will happen afterwards, so it's better to do more homework while they have time now, otherwise they won't be able to deal with the husband when they go back.

Within two days, Wang Po wrote back, saying that the Liu family was also interested, so they wanted to see each other, and they made an appointment to meet in Runing City.

Qu's father and Qu's mother's current status in the Qu family is not as high as before, so Qu Jingxi took Qu Zhaodi to Runing City with little effort, the reason being to buy some medicine for Qu Weizhen.

Because remembering what Qu Weizhen said, "She is not good, so don't think about Qu Jingxi", Qu's mother could only reluctantly take the money.

Qu Weizhen leaned against the window and watched them leave, seeing Qu's father and Qu's mother staring at her room viciously, she couldn't help but smile.

She knew that she couldn't force it any longer, at least she couldn't take money from them anymore, otherwise they would definitely vent their accumulated anger.

She is not a masochist, she will go for a beating if it is worthwhile, if it is not worth it, why should she suffer it?

Qu Weizhen was calculating in her heart how much dowry she would give to her eldest sister, how she would arrange for her second and fourth sisters, and how much money she would have left after doing all this.

After deducing and overturning her calculations in her heart several times, the sun was almost setting. She picked up a pen and listed a few key words in the summary of what she had just thought in her mind so that she would not forget.

"No, mom and dad are getting a little angry." Laidi came in with a bowl of soup and a bowl of vegetables, and Daidi was holding a bowl of rice behind her. "Hurry up and eat, let's wait for them in the main room."

Qu Weizhen nodded, picked up the bowl and was about to eat, when the sound of a dog whipping a whip came from outside, Laidi smiled and said, "I'm back."

Qu Weizhen pushed open the window and looked out, just in time to see Zhaodi entering the door with a blushing face, and Qu Jingxi, who was following behind, looked calm, but the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, obviously in a good mood.

Qu Weizhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned back to eat. It seems that the meeting effect is not bad.
