Chapter 7 Chapter 67: Hao Er Chooses a Wife

Now the Ding family has another senior steward. This chief steward used to be called Dumb, so naturally no one calls him that now. The other stewards of the Ding family and some senior seniors call him Ding Hao, and other seniors call him Steward Ding. No matter how many years older or younger than him, people always call him Brother Hao. Brother Hao's errands are very complicated. He is the inspector of Ding's Jieku (pawn shop), and he needs to inspect several Jieku of Ding's family in Bazhou City from time to time, and supervise their operations. Such a privilege is not a privilege. Xiao, apart from Young Master Ding and Second Young Master Ding, only Yan Jiu had such rights. From this point of view, he is an upstart in the Ding family, and he has become the confidant of Old Master Ding.

In addition, he also works as a purchasing errand for the inner house of the Ding Mansion, which is an eye-catching fat job. The girls in the back house now see Dumb one by one, and they scream sweetly It's greasy and greasy, like a cat in spring, which makes people listen to it, as if scratching its heart, but it doesn't scratch it. Now there are rumors that Ding Hao will be in charge of the errand of planting grain for the Ding family this year.Every spring, the Ding family set up a site in the corner gatehouse outside the east wall of the Ding family ancestral hall, and gave high-quality grain seeds to the tenants on credit.

The purpose of uniformly purchasing and storing high-quality grain seeds and distributing them to tenants in spring is to ensure the quality of planting, so as to avoid grain failure after autumn, damage to tenants, and no benefit to the owner.In addition, this kind of grain comes on credit, which is far more suitable than buying it by yourself, so the tenants like to use the Ding family's grain, so that they can share more grain for themselves, and can share some good grain. The tenants who are in charge of grain seeds are all about flattery. Now that the news spread, Ding Hao is not only a new rich man in the Ding family, but also a celebrity in the eyes of the whole village.

Ding Hao is very serious in his work, and he doesn't just perfunctory just because he has made up his mind to leave Ding's house.Either don't do it or do it well, this is Ding Hao's consistent attitude.At the same time, he also regards these affairs of the Ding family as a kind of experience for himself. One method is mastered, a hundred methods are mastered, and everything in the world has a common principle. Now that you have more experience, you can gain more experience when you are alone.If you don't sweep a house, why sweep the world?If you don't know how to do small things well, can such a person do great things?So he always thinks twice about the things he is responsible for, and tries his best to arrange the things in his hands in an orderly manner. Although many stewards of the Ding family mansion are jealous of his favor, they also secretly nod to his sophistication.

Because his errands are relatively casual and relaxed, when representing his master to go to the city to unload the warehouse (pawnshop) or buy daily necessities, he often takes his mother with him, and asks a famous doctor in the city to see a doctor and prescribe medicine.I don't know if it's because Yang's son's future made Yang's eyebrows happy, or those medicinal soups really worked, but Yang's illness gradually improved, and her face became more normal. When Yang's illness improved, Ding Hao felt relieved.During this period of time, Ding Hao was busy, and Yang, whose condition had improved, was even more busy, busy finding a satisfactory wife for his son, but Ding Hao was on the go all day, so he didn't notice these things.

At this moment, Mrs. Yang and Mrs. Li are sitting cross-legged on the kang, criticizing the married girls in the village one by one. Sister Li, how do you tell the daughter of the old Zhao family?She is doing needlework by your side, you should be familiar with it, I think this child is quite honest, she doesn't talk much, she is a dutiful girl. I'm afraid the daughter of the Zhao family can't do it, I'll tell you, don't make it public. Hi, am I that kind of person, what's the matter? The daughter of the Zhao family has a problem with underarm odor, which is quite serious.It's better in winter, but in summer, it's really suffocating when you sweat, otherwise why doesn't she talk to people a lot, you can't smell it when you come to her.

Oh, forget it, how about that girl from the Liu family?Tsk, it's just that I'm a little younger. After this year, I'm only eleven years old. That's still Mao years old. Even if we get married, it will take at least two years to consummate the house. Sister Li pondered and said: How is that girl of the Huo family? no!Yang said decisively: that girl looks like a big and thick girl, just like Zhang Fei.Last time, the rogue Gao Er at the west end of the village laughed at her a few times, and told her to slap her into the fan ditch, looking scary.Although my Hao'er is not a child of a rich family, but that child is a bit high-minded, he must not like the daughter of the Huo family.

Oh, there are quite a few girls who are suitable for marriage, and it is difficult to find a suitable one. You have to say that this matter is suitable. The girl from the Chen family is quite suitable. She has a handsome life and skillful hands. Also taking advantage of a hundred acres of land, he is a well-to-do family.Even if Xiao Hao'er is promising now and becomes the head of the management, I'm afraid his father will not agree. Sister Li, doesn't Liu Xiao from Kaiyoufang have a niece?Last time I came back to Dingjiazhuang to visit, I met once, I heard that no one is allowed yet, this year is just sixteen, the age is just right.Although he is not particularly good-looking, he has a good figure, and it is said that he can read characters.

Aunt Li seemed to have never heard of it, Yang said: "Sister, did you hear what I said?" Aunt Li was a little embarrassed, and said slowly: "Sister, we old sisters have been friends for so many years. If you say something unpleasant, don't take it seriously. Although it is your Jiahaoer who is going to marry a wife, you are after all. Damn, my mother-in-law is someone's domestic slave. It's not nice to say this status. People with a bit of status despise her Yang's face darkened when he heard this, and he fell silent. Aunt Li hesitated for a moment, then said: "Sister, I think of someone. I met her at the entrance of the village when your Haoer entered the city this morning. When I looked at your Haoer's eyes, I met a mouse like a cat." It seems that seeing her handsome appearance must be a little greedy. If it were her, your family Hao'er would definitely like it, but I don't know what your mother's idea is.

Yang patted her thigh and said: Hey, I found a wife for him. If he likes it, why don't I like it as a mother.Whose child is the sister talking about? Aunt Li said: "It's the widowed Luo Dong'er of the Dong family, what do you think of that child?" When Mrs. Yang heard Aunt Li's words, she became a little unhappy: "Sister Li, that's not going to happen. Mrs. Dong's family is a good girl with ingenuity and good looks, but my Hao'er is a boy, and she has promised others. In the past, my family Hao'er was the one who was able to marry a daughter-in-law like her, but now my family's Hao'er is a steward, with a monthly salary of sixteen, why can't I marry a yellow flower girl?

Although there has been a saying since ancient times that virgins do not remarry, it was only advocated by some people, and it was not as serious as after Ming Qing's study became obsessed. It was common for a woman to remarry after her husband's death, or to remarry after being divorced, just as it is in modern times.Zhuo Wenjun not only remarried but also eloped with men; Cai Wenji married three times, and one of her husbands was the Zuo Xianwang of the Huns; An anecdote among the neighbors. They were all ladies of decent families at the time, and if they could do so, the folks naturally held a more relaxed and understanding attitude towards women remarrying.But just like modern times, when one party is the first marriage and the other is the second marriage, the parents are always a little unhappy in their hearts, as if their children have suffered a big loss. Aunt Li said: "The daughters of the Zhao family and the daughters of the Huo family, I don't see how they are more likable than the Dong family's wife."Can Chuhong live by pointing at her?I said girl, don't be confused. She looked at Yang's face, saw that she was not angry, and said, "Dong'er is a well-behaved child, handsome in life, able to manage the housework, is a good hand inside and out, and is a person who lives by himself.In other words, she also had a hard life. She lost her parents since she was a child, and her uncle raised her up to sell the goods.That child of the Dong family is a sick child, and he has lived with his arms around the medicine jar since he was a child. As long as his eyes are not blind, who can't tell if he will live long?As a result, her uncle accepted the dowry and threw the poor girl into the fire pit in a daze Mrs. Yang rubbed her knees and remained silent. Aunt Li persuaded her earnestly: "It's true that Dong'er's child is superior to others, but he doesn't have to be picky about his personality, character, and appearance. How many daughters from far and wide are better than others?" Get her?If you want to talk about life, don't you feel at ease with such a daughter-in-law?Don't you want to tie your son's heart? If you marry a girl who doesn't suit him, I'm afraid he will run away even more.But if a little girl like Dong'er can sweeten a man's heart with her handsomeness, are you afraid that you can't tie Hao'er's heart to your kang? Yang Shi was a little moved, hesitantly said: "Can you do it?" Hey, what's wrong, girl, don't hesitate when I tell you, Dong'er's child is upturned and strong, at first glance, she looks like a figure that can bear a son, if you marry her back, I think next spring, you There is a big grandson in my arms. Yang Shi let out a chuckle. Thinking about it carefully, that girl really has nothing to choose from except for Xu Chaoren.Is it not a good woman who has passed others?She half pushed and half said: How about talking about it?I just don't know if the Dong family agrees or not. Aunt Li said: "Her son is already dead. It's her mother-in-law's business to marry her daughter-in-law again. Let me talk about it. I'll give her some benefits. Are you afraid she won't agree?" When a man divorces his wife, as long as he himself agrees, both parents agree, and the neighbors testify, the divorce letter will take effect.If the woman asks for self-divorce, but the man does not agree, it must be judged by the local government, but the government generally favors the man, and will not approve it unless there are very good reasons.However, if the man is dead and the woman wants to remarry, although the head of the household of the man needs to write a formal divorce letter on behalf of the deceased, but if the head of the man’s family forcefully keeps the widowed woman from remarrying, the government’s judgment will most likely respect the opinion of the woman. So Mrs. Li said very firmly, it is expected that Mrs. Dong will not refuse. Well, then I will trouble my sister to make peace, if this matter is settled, you will be Haoer's great matchmaker, and I must thank you very much. Hey, seeing what you said, Aunt Li dropped her leg to the ground, and said in a hurry: "What is the relationship between our two sisters? Your family Hao'er was also raised by me. I can tell him a satisfactory wife. I am also happy.Haha, it's okay, you're not in good health, so don't go to the ground.I'll go back first, and I'll talk to the Dong family in the afternoon
