Chapter 284 The Matchmaker Was Beaten

The matchmaker laughed a few times, raised the handkerchief rhythmically, stirred up a gust of fragrant wind, and shouted in a sharp voice: "Old sister must be the old lady of this family. See what you said, sister does it I've been in this business for decades, how can I still send this wedding to the wrong person? It's the Gu family at the end of Dafeng Village."

After finishing speaking, he said to the two boys behind him: "The person sending the birthday greetings has arrived, please start playing the wedding drum soon."

The two boys had leather drums the size of face plates hanging on their bodies. When they heard this, they quickly started playing the drums.

The matchmaker heard the sound of the drum and sang at the top of her voice.

The third grandmother hurriedly opened the door and shouted: "Stop, who told you to play drums and sing songs? Stop now."

If the noise is so loud and the villagers hear it, then no matter who comes to propose marriage, whether they agree or not, the reputation of the children in the family will be bad.

This girl has been discussed with many people, so she will be talked about.

The country people are talkative, and they especially like to gossip about the rights and wrongs of some girls' families. It is obvious that the girl is right, but as long as you make some noise, the long-tongued woman can tell you some sexy things.

When the matchmaker saw the third grandma opening the door, she finally stopped singing. She was about to go in, but was blocked by a hatchet.

The matchmaker was frightened. When she saw that the person holding the hatchet was a little girl, she patted her heart, glared at her, and said with a smile: "You little girl, why are you so scary? Are you chopping firewood?"

Gu Jinli sneered: "If you don't chop wood, I plan to chop people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the knife in his hand turned and fell on the two people who were still playing the drums: "Try to beat it again?"

The two people were stunned, stopped playing the drums, and looked at the matchmaker: "Matchmaker, do you want to knock or not?"

Then he complained: "Why did you play matchmaker? It's such a festive occasion, why didn't you tell the girl's family in advance?"

The matchmaker had not made an agreement with the family in advance. She had received one or two taels of silver from the family. According to what the family said, she came to the door with great fanfare to say that she was here. But now she shouted: "What's not agreed, old man?" We have already agreed that you should hurry up and play the drums to make it more lively."

Let everyone in the village come and have a look. If there are too many people here, everyone will think that the girl from this family is engaged. Even if the family is unwilling, for the sake of the reputation of the girl's family, they have to agree and dare not refuse easily. This relative.

After hearing this, the two boys quickly started playing the drums again.

Gu Jinli narrowed his eyes, turned around and took out a wooden stick with a thick wrist from behind the courtyard door, and hit them hard.

Bang bang bang!

The wooden stick carried gravity and hit the hands of the two boys hard, making them scream: "Little girl, why are you beating us? We are here to send happiness to your family."

Bang bang bang!

Gu Jinli continued to beat the wooden stick in his hand, cursing in his mouth: "Giving a happy birthday? My family wants you to come to send a happy birthday? You bastards, I can't beat you to death."

Gu Jinli hit them on the head and face, beating them until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen, and they fled towards the old well with happy drums hung on them.

Gu Jinli did not chase, but turned around and pointed at the matchmaker with a wooden stick: "Old Qianpo, why are you coming to my house? Who asked you to come? Tell me!"

The old matchmaker was startled, and a lot of the powder on her face fell off due to fright. She took a few steps back and said, "You little girl, why are you so temperamental? I am a famous matchmaker in Qingfu Town. This time I am serving you." He took Master Sun's life and came to propose marriage to his eldest grandson."

"The eldest grandson of Mr. Sun's family is a scholar. He is only sixteen years old this year. He has already read the Four Books and Five Classics. He will take the college entrance exam next year. If he passes the exam, he will be a scholar..."

"Shut up! There's so much nonsense. My aunt is asking you, who is Mr. Sun?" Gu Jinli stared at Matchmaker Lao with a cold face: "Don't say it's Mr. Sun."

The matchmaker clapped her hands and said with a smile: "It's not just the grandson of Beigou Village, but a wealthy family in our Qingfu Town. In the early years, an aunt married the county magistrate and was a relative of the official family. "

Sure enough, it was Sun Li.

Gu Jinli's face became even colder: "Go back and tell that old bastard named Sun not to think about things you shouldn't think, otherwise you will be punished by God!"

Sun Li Chang, an old guy, is really planning one plan after another. Do you really think that being a Li Chang is a high official? One moment he wants his grandson to marry Luo Huiniang, and the other moment he wants his grandson to marry her girl. Is it over?

The matchmaker looked at Gu Jinli's cold face, as well as the wooden stick in her hand and the hatchet in her belt. She was a little scared. She turned to look at the third grandma and said: "Sister, what about Mr. Sun's eldest grandson and your family?" My eldest granddaughter is truly a match made in heaven. This is a perfect marriage. Don’t think about it anymore and agree to it quickly. If it’s too late, the eldest son of the Sun family will marry someone else.”

The third grandma turned blue with anger and bitched at the old matchmaker: "Get out now, or if you don't, I will never be done with you!"

Who is the labor matchmaker?

He was a matchmaker who traveled from village to village and was beaten up no less than ten times a year. How could he be frightened by the third grandma's words?

She looked into the yard and saw Ms. Cui pulling Brother Cheng towards the door of the courtyard. She immediately said to Ms. Cui: "You are the biological mother of the eldest daughter of the Gu family. Ouch, the old lady congratulated you. Your family The eldest daughter is promising, and she is attracted by Mr. Sun’s grandson, and she will live a good life eating meat every day from now on.”

"Don't talk nonsense. My sister Xiu doesn't know the eldest grandson of Mr. Sun." Ms. Cui was very angry. What this matchmaker said sounded like Sister Xiu had something to do with the eldest grandson of Sun Li. Similar.

"Old woman, don't talk nonsense. If you talk nonsense again, I'll beat you up." Brother Cheng clenched his small fist, pretending to beat Matchmaker Lao.

The matchmaker didn't take a coward like Mrs. Cui or a brat like Brother Cheng into her eyes at all. She looked at the third grandma and said mockingly: "You are the grandma of this family, and I'm not a relative. You can't make the decision." Just get out of the way and let the old woman tell the parents of the eldest girl in the Gu family that you, a grandma in the next room, can't ruin this girl's good marriage."

These words hit the third grandma's pain point. The third grandma's eyes were red with anger and she almost shed tears.

Gu Jinli stared at the back of the matchmaker and asked her, "Are you leaving?"

The matchmaker was still a little afraid of her, but when she thought about it, she was just a little girl's family, how could she be more vicious?

"Little girl, don't be so cruel. In two years, when you want to accuse someone else, you might even ask for it to be blamed on the old woman."

Gu Jinli chuckled: "You just won't leave?"

The matchmaker frowned, snorted coldly, stopped paying attention to Gu Jinli, twisted the waist of the bucket, waved the handkerchief, trying to squeeze away the third grandma, and walked to Gu's yard.

"You are so shameless!" Gu Jinli grabbed the matchmaker by the back collar and slammed her to the ground.

boom!

The matchmaker was beaten hard, and she just screamed in pain when Gu Jinli got on top of her, grabbed her by the skirt, raised his hand and slapped her hard.
