The three official matchmakers from Yanmajin caught Mr. Huang today. Thinking about the hard work of following the order for half a year, and counting the many achievements after the success of this order, the three women couldn't help but... gouge them out at the same time.

A glance at the opponent.

As he spoke, Mr. Huang entered the flower hall. Because there were female guests, there was an old woman behind him today. When the three women saw Mr. Huang coming in, they hurriedly stood up and saluted. Their attention was now focused on Huang, who was dressed in plain robes.

On the master's body.

In the long career of Sanwives, there are really not many templates like Mr. Huang. This is also one of the biggest motivations for Sanwives to chase Mr. Huang: the case is special, and there will be special achievements after winning.

The details of Huang Ping's background had long been known by the matchmaking industry: before he was elected, he was a down-and-out scholar. He lived in a monk's temple outside the city and made a living by writing letters to people. Later, he won the election overnight and changed his lintel.

Here's the beauty: Mr. Huang's birth came too violently.

Normally, when you are elected, you will get 400 acres of land tax-free on the official register. After being elected, you will have various incomes, but the expenses are also not small. People like Huang Ping do not have the backing of a wealthy family, and they have to live in a high-consumption city like Hangzhou.

Life is just like a middle-class life at the beginning, and luxury cars and mansions cannot be achieved without the accumulation of one generation.

However, Mr. Huang did it. Ordinary Ming people have long been accustomed to people getting rich overnight. How else would they talk about the dream of Ming Dynasty? But matchmakers are different. It is a professional requirement to find out the inside story of their clients' homes. They know very well how big the difference is.

He has no parents-in-law to support, a mansion at home, a nice car, and a good job... This kind of diamond king will be robbed of his head in future generations. What Mr. Huang doesn't know is that he has already been raped.

The mothers-in-law were transferred to the highest level, and their conditions were second only to those in the yamen of big houses.

...

After Mr. Huang entered the flower hall and sat down, he casually ordered Mrs. Yan to do the promotion first, while the other two went to the side hall to wait.

This Mrs. Yan is about 30 years old. She is wearing a light red Hangzhou silk coat and a green silk skirt. Her face is white and powdery, and her lips are thick and her cheeks are fat. It looks like she is living by her mouth. When she came up to see the gift, Mrs. Yan's face was filled with smiles.

He burst into laughter, opened his mouth and burst out with a bunch of clichés, almost turning Mr. Huang into a Zeju and reborn, ripping green onion and possessing him.

Huang Zhicheng smiled bitterly and waved his hand, signaling Mrs. Yan to get down to business quickly. Didn't you look at me going up and down dozens of taels per second?

After Yan Renjing saw the master's signal, he temporarily stopped talking. He took out a small "embroidery book" from his sleeve and started to flip through it.

The "Embroidery Book" is a must-have information book for every official official media. It lists some information disclosed by customers, and also contains private notes: This is a secret code, only I can understand it; Miss Zhang's body odor, Li

If I don’t mention it...this is all internal information that cannot be made public.

Mrs. Yan started to promote Mr. Huang while flipping through her embroidery book; Mr. Huang drank tea and listened.

It is too rare for a family like Huang Ping to have no elders to make the decision. The saying "the orders of the parents are the words of the matchmaker" is no joke. Without the consent of the parents, it is a private marriage, and if there is no matchmaking process, it is fornication. This

They are more strict, so matchmakers are usually more slutty - if you don’t believe it, you can refer to the masterpiece "Jin Ping Mei".

Of course, the matchmaker will definitely like Mr. Huang's situation. He seems to be able to make decisions on the spot, with a golden triangle style... When it comes time for elders to appear, one or two will probably be deaf and blind.

The old man came out to support the show.

In this way, Mrs. Yan kept recommending young ladies from various families. Mr. Huang sat there and seemed to be listening. Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and Huang Zhicheng became more and more irritable as he listened.

He knows that his conditions are good, so the matchmaker will definitely choose some girls with similar conditions to introduce to him at the beginning. However, this means bound feet - those who do not have their feet bound are special cases and will definitely not appear in the first wave of promotions.

What is even more depressing is that during this process, he cannot reveal his subjective wish of "I want to find a wife with big feet"... Once the word is spread by the matchmaker, Mr. Huang will instantly

Became the laughing stock of Shilin.

Everything must happen naturally: the matchmaker introduces a girl with big feet, the matchmaker tries her best to cover it up, the matchmaker tries her best to praise the girl's other advantages, Mr. Huang is deceived, and Mr. Huang is diverted from the big feet by the matchmaker's excellent language skills.

force......

This is called sociology - when the entire society is so sick that binding small feet is the standard of dignity, some people have to be very careful in order not to be treated as aliens.

Mrs. Yan ultimately failed.

After listening to Mrs. Yan's recommendation, Mr. Huang politely said: "Matchmaker Yan, thank you for your hard work. Let me think about it." Then he gave him a small reward and sent him away.

Next is Mrs. Ma, who is in high spirits and begins to receive a new round of bombings.

Huang Zhicheng regretted a little at this time: He had derelict in his duty before. If he had started organizing the wedding two months earlier, there would be no need to be so urgent now: once he entered Xiong Wencan's shogunate as planned, what would he do if he did not cooperate with the wedding date? He would go to Fuzhou afterwards.

If so, what should I do if things are delayed?

In short, due to some unexplainable reasons, the current embarrassing situation has been caused, and it may also hinder the official business.

"Oh, I was still too complacent before, I have to find a way to make up for it." Mr. Huang was already in a state of mind at this time.

Unknowingly, the frothing matchmaker in front of him has been replaced by Mrs. Jin, and Huang Zhicheng has been suffering for a full hour and a half: "Let the housekeeper come and listen tomorrow!" Looking at the pamphlet in Mrs. Jin's hand, Huang Zhicheng quickly turned to the end.

I thought of it easily.

At this moment, a turning point occurred. Huang Zhicheng heard the keyword "foot binding" for the first time today.

He coughed quietly, and a boy had already brought a bucket of spit. Mr. Huang spit, wiped his mouth, then got up and went to the back to relieve himself... After sitting for more than an hour, he drank tea and so on.

You should always allow it to be convenient for me.

After finishing the toilet, Huang Ping returned to the flower hall again and wiped his face with a wet hand towel. Mr. Huang seemed to be much more energetic at this moment: "Well, let's start from the beginning for that family just now."

Mrs. Jin did not doubt that he was there, so she told the story of the family that had been interrupted just now.

This family's surname is Zhong, and they are not well-known in Hangzhou city, but they are undoubtedly gentry. Mr. Zhong's ancestor is a branch of Zhong Fang, a famous minister in Qiongzhou during the Zhengde period. The Zhong family has passed down poems and books from generation to generation. During this period, there were several incidents.

Luo, fortunately, the family rules are strict, and there are few unruly things among the descendants. Every few years, someone will become an official, so the family fortune will not fall.

Mr. Zhong himself served as a secretary of the Nanjing Imperial College and as a magistrate. In the past few years, Wei Zhongxian came to power. Mr. Zhong saw that the situation in the court was not good, so he decided to become an official. Now he is idle at home.

The Zhong family has two sons and one daughter. The eldest son was promoted to official position and is currently the county magistrate of Nanhai County, Guangdong. The second son has no meritorious status.

The person the matchmaker plans to sell to Mr. Huang is the eldest daughter of the Zhong family: her maiden name is Zhong Xiuxiu.

There is a reason why Zhong Xiuxiu was placed at the end of the booklet by Mrs. Jin: the eldest lady of the Zhong family was trafficked when she was a child.

Miss Zhong was only 5 years old when she was kidnapped. She was later sold to the home of a squire surnamed Xu in Pingyang County, a remote area of ​​Wenzhou. Fortunately, squire Xu bought her because of the seven sons in the family, the only one lacking a daughter was Zhong Xiuxiu.

She was smart and well-behaved, so she was bought from a kidnapper and raised as an adopted daughter.

The so-called country squires are actually country people. The countryside is not so particular. Zhong Xiuxiu has not bound her feet since she was a child. It was not until Zhong Xiuxiu was sixteen years old that things turned around: the kidnapper was arrested and sent to the Yamen for another case.

Pulled down with a few sticks, the kidnapper was excreting and urinating in the courtroom. He immediately began to vomit, and then he vomited more and more. Zhong Xiuxiu was also included in the incident. What happened next was logical. Not long after Mr. Zhong took office at that time, he heard the news and handed a film to

The Renhe County Government rewarded the servants with money. The officials immediately worked hard and arrested the second kidnapper and brought him to justice within a few days. It was common for kidnappers to change hands with children.

The eldest lady of the Zhong family was finally found.

When Mr. Zhong saw his daughter again more than 10 years later, Zhong Xiuxiu had become tall and graceful, with a dashing appearance... She had seven brothers to play with since she was a child, and it was hard to explain why she was not cool. She saw that her name had been changed to Xu Baoer, and she looked exactly like him.

Zhong Xiuxiu, Mr. Zhong burst into tears immediately.

After that, there was a negotiation between the two families: Xu Xiangshen and his wife raised Zhong Xiuxiu as a little cotton-padded jacket. They had no shortage of food and clothing since she was a child. The maids and mothers-in-law were equipped with all these, and they did not treat their daughter badly. Now she has grown into a big girl.

We are about to talk about marriage, well...my biological father appears.

Mr. Zhong was happy at first: it was normal for a girl to be abducted and sold to a brothel. It was a stroke of luck that Zhong Xiuxiu could grow up safely in the Xu family.

Secondly, it is difficult to deal with: she is not a child bride who is beaten every day and can just take her away with confidence, but she was raised as a young lady!

Originally I planned to compensate the Xu family with money, but Squire Xu didn't want it... The country people are a bit rustic, but can this matter be solved with money? I'll give you a few more, and you can leave, okay?

If you leave, I will have to pay a large dowry to marry my daughter!

... Mr. Zhong comes from a scholarly family, so he is naturally not the kind of person who makes trouble without reason. After negotiations, the two families finally reached an agreement: from now on, the two families will become one and the same. Zhong Xiuxiu will change his original name and recognize

Xu Xiangshen and his wife are adoptive parents.

After this, this, and so on, when Miss Zhong returned to Hangzhou, she was already 17 years old.

It’s good to come back, and you will get married when you come back. However, such real good words as “heroic” and “walking as fast as flying” were placed in the circle of perverted scholar-bureaucrats in the Ming Dynasty who were disgusting and swore to have sex. Suddenly,

Became the object of laughter...

Two years later, when Zhong Xiuxiu returned to Hangzhou, she was already 19 years old and still not married.

Mr. Zhong has wrinkles on his face and his daughter is unsaleable. Please help us...

...

The story of Miss Zhong’s family ended here. Mrs. Jin’s mouth was dry and Mr. Huang was secretly satisfied - he was sure that he had just heard Mrs. Jin’s words: “In the countryside, control is looser, and Miss Zhong’s feet are bound for a long time.

She is short, so her feet are slightly bigger than those of other ladies."

Generally speaking, if a young lady has a hidden disease such as body odor, the matchmaker can completely pretend not to know about it and you can talk about it later.

However, a matchmaker would never dare to deceive you about something as important as not binding your feet. Firstly, you can't hide it. Secondly, even if the man is deceived, how can someone like Mr. Huang spare you afterwards?
