back to the field

Zhang Hu's words confirmed what Tang Sixian thought in her heart, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Tang Qingman's marriage should not be decided by her, she can give some opinions, but in the end it should be Tang Qingman's choice.

Thinking of this, she asked Zhang Hu: "Why do you want to propose marriage to my sister?"

Zhang Hu rubbed his head in a daze, and then shyly said: "Because Miss Tang is very nice, I, I want to marry her."

"I can't make a decision on this matter for the time being. Before I think about responding to you, you are not allowed to tell anyone about your proposed marriage." Tang Sixian stared at him sharply.

Zhang Hu knew how cruel she was, so he nodded hastily.

In the evening, Tang Sixian asked Tang Qingman about trivial things about the Liang family, and asked, "Sister, do you know Zhang Hu?"

Tang Qingman knew nothing about Zhang Hu's desire to marry her, and replied: "I know, he is a tenant of Zhen's family, what's the matter?"

"What do you think of others?"

Tang Qingman realized something, and hesitated a little when answering: "I don't know what he is like. Besides, although we occasionally meet on the road, we haven't talked to each other. I don't want to comment on him without reason."

Tang Sixian understood Tang Qingman's attitude, and immediately stopped discussing it.She took out some jiaozi from the space and put them on the table, saying: "Sister, I caught a very expensive fish today and sold it for so much money!"

Tang Qingman knew for a long time that she sold catfish at a high price of [-] yuan. After all, no one in the village could catch such a large catfish. Her move naturally attracted the villagers to discuss it. It spread throughout the village that day.

"Put it away quickly, I'm afraid there will be thieves." Tang Qingman said.

Tang Sixian didn't insist on handing in half this time, because it was the safest place to put the money in her space.

She handed over seven hundred wen to Tang Qingman, and kept the rest by herself. She said, "Sister, with this money, I can buy you an extra bedding. Also, wait for the Zhou family's transaction to be settled." Now, I will buy the title deed of the Wang family's house, so that we will have a real place to stay."

Tang Qingman sold his family's house and land at the beginning, and the money he got was only more than ten yuan, and in terms of private houses alone, one house was only three yuan.A three-room house has a total of nine coins.

The earthen houses in the countryside are not as valuable as the houses in the city, so the money in Tang Sixian's hands can completely buy the Wang family's house, but it is not clear whether the Wang family is willing to sell the house.If not, she would have to buy another piece of land and build a house by herself.

Tang Qingman was a little dazed at first because of the bedding, but when she heard about it later, she also began to imagine that when they had their own home again, the kind of heart that fell into place and made people feel at ease.

There was hope in her eyes: "Then I have to work hard and save money to give us new clothes!"

The two discussed the future arrangements in detail, but they forgot about Zhang Hu's marriage proposal.

The next day, Tang Sixian went fishing with a fishing net, but as soon as she got to the river, she saw that it was crowded with people.She thought that the location of the village fair had been changed to the riverside, and these people came to visit the market.

In the crowd, she saw an acquaintance and shouted, "Hu Erlang, why is it so lively here all of a sudden?"

Hu Erlang looked a little embarrassed when he saw her.He hid the net bag behind his back and said with a smile, "Everyone come here to fish."

Tang Sixian intuited that the unusual behavior of the villagers had something to do with the catfish she sold yesterday.She said: "This head, the whole village has come, right?"

Hu Erlang said bluntly: "It's not because you caught a catfish weighing more than ten kilograms yesterday! Everyone thinks that you can catch it, so they can catch it too, so they come to fish by coincidence. Except for the catfish in our village people, and people from neighboring villages!"

Tang Sixian noticed that there were children over there, and frowned: "Why are there still children? The water is several feet deep. If they fall, who can save them!"

Hu Erlang sighed: "It's approaching the final payment date of the autumn tax, and everyone has no choice, so they come here to try their luck."

Tang Sixian didn't say anything, she had no position to stop or dissuade those children.She didn't want to make a trip in vain, so after thinking about it, she found a tree and sat down against it, shouting loudly: "Fish is accepted, fish over one catty is accepted, the price is fair, no one will cheat!"

Someone came running after hearing the sound, holding a herring weighing about one catty and asking, "Do you want to take this fish?"

"Accept, five cents a piece."

The man said unhappily: "It's only five Wen, and I can sell it for ten Wen in the market, and I have the face to say that children are innocent!"

Tang Sixian smiled lightly: "Don't you look at how many people are fishing here. One person catches two herrings, and then sells them in the market. See if they can be sold for ten cents!"

"But it took me half an hour to catch it!"

"What does it matter to me how much time you spend?"

The man seemed to have recognized the reality, and said: "It takes half an hour and it's worth five Wen, I might as well go back to work! I won't sell this fish, keep it for myself to eat!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't want to waste any more time here, and left angrily.

There were many other villagers who had the same experience as him. Some of them were worried about the work at home, so they sold the fish to Tang Sixian and returned home.There are also some people who are unwilling to give up, thinking that there are so many of them, they don't believe that they can't catch catfish!

They tossed and tossed for a while, Qin Tian came to scold people: "Why, I don't work, so I don't plan to pay the autumn tax?"

They said unwillingly: "Why can others catch fish, but we can't?"

"I don't care whether you catch fish or not, you must pay me the autumn tax today, otherwise you will have good fruit to eat!" Qin Tian cursed viciously, "Besides, I don't know what you are thinking? If this catfish It’s so easy to catch, why it’s so expensive? I’ve been dreaming about the dream of the pie falling from the sky all day long. To be a man, you have to be down-to-earth, know how much you have, and do what you can!”

Although Qin Tian's scolding was harsh, there was some truth to it.The villagers were splashed with cold water, and their enthusiasm for catfish gradually faded.

Speaking of which, there are many fish that are more valuable than catfish, but the reason why they are valuable is because few people catch them.If they can catch it so easily, is the fish worth the money?

Mostly because it was impossible to deny the fact that Tang Sixian was lucky, the villagers all suppressed their unrealistic thoughts.

While counting the fish he received, Tang Sixian asked, "Hey, are they all gone? I collect fish here, is there anyone selling it?"

Seeing that she was drawing hatred again, Qin Tian glared at her, thinking that if it wasn't for her, the villagers wouldn't be as mad as they were.

Tang Sixian looked back at him innocently, and said: "I make a living by fishing, so I naturally know that fishing is not easy. Everyone has been busy for so long, even if you bring the fish back, it won't be long to raise them. Why don't you sell them to me? As for the busy work in the morning, isn't it?"

Although she drew a wave of hatred, she spoke to the hearts of the villagers, so after some bargaining, they all sold the fish in their hands to her.When they got the money, they finally found Tang Sixian quite pleasing to the eye.

Tang Sixian estimated that these fish plus the fish kept in the fish tank would be more than enough to make dozens of catties of fish balls, and then she would just look for mandarin fish.

She puts all the fish weighing less than one catty in the fish pond, and keeps the fish weighing more than two catties in the water tank.After finishing these things, he remembered that there was one more thing to do, so he went out and ran to Qin's house.

No one in the Qin family was at home, so she searched around and found Qin Zhen who was delivering water to the hired workers in the field.

Although Liang Beiwang had an oolong yesterday and misunderstood that the two were husband and wife, which made her a little uncomfortable.But now that they meet each other, they don't feel embarrassed at all, on the contrary, there is still some expectation in it.

She didn't want to go around in circles with Qin Zhen, so she asked straight to the point: "Little lady, I have something I want to consult with you. Have you already seen that Zhang Hu likes my sister?"

If Qin Zhen knew about it a long time ago, then the time she fainted in the orchard, Qin Zhen's reluctance to speak could be explained.

Qin Zhen blinked his eyes and said, "I guessed so. You came here in such a hurry, is it because I didn't say it earlier?"

Tang Sixian explained: "What did you say, little lady, how can I blame you? It's not easy to say this kind of thing even to the person involved, let alone I am not the person involved."

After a pause, she took another peek at Qin Zhen, still puzzled in her heart. When she met Zhang Hu and Qin Zhen that day, Zhang Hu acted more like he liked Qin Zhen.

"Damn it, could it be that this tiger is half-hearted?" Tang Si enviously slandered.

Qin Zhen noticed that she was secretly looking at him, and suddenly he felt happy, and his mouth was slightly raised: "Did Zhang Hu propose a kiss to Ah Tang?"

Tang Si was startled enviously: "Little lady, didn't you go and return yesterday to eavesdrop on our conversation?"

Qin Zhen put away his smile, and looked at her with a slightly unfriendly look: "You are also good at slandering people!"

Tang Sixian, who had learned how to look at Qin Zhen, quickly admitted his mistake: "I made a mistake, little lady."

Qin Zhen didn't speak, so she could only continue to ask sternly: "I don't know Zhang Hu very well, so I don't know what kind of person he is, and whether he is a good match. According to the little lady, what is he like?"

Qin Zhen said: "Others choose their husbands and sons based on their family background and character, but you only care about their personality?"

"The little lady has misunderstood me. Although I see it as a human being, I have high standards for this person. Take the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law as an example. If he can't handle it well, then in my heart, his way of dealing with people is It's not enough! Such a person, if my sister is allowed to marry him, he will only be wronged."

"Filial piety is the first thing to do. If you want to find such a person, it will not be easy."

"Why don't I know?" Tang Si enviously said, "So you can't follow my standard, it depends on sister's acceptance."

If it is by her standards, there is no one in this era who meets the conditions.

Qin Zhen thought to herself, with "Tang Sixian" as the criterion for selecting a husband, she probably would never even try to find a suitable husband in her life.

Realizing that he was a little happy because of this, Qin Zhen quickly cut off the idea and said: "The reason why Zhang Hu proposed marriage to Atang, I guess it is because Atang's conditions will attract the attention of the Zhang family. First of all, Atang's young appearance Mei, kind and gentle, diligent and thrifty in housekeeping, and hard-working. Who would not want to marry such a good woman?

"Besides, you and Zhang's family are facing each other. Ah Tang doesn't need to prepare too much dowry, and they don't need to give too much dowry. To put it bluntly, the Zhang family believes that except for people from opposite families, no one from a wealthy family is willing to marry Ah. Don."

In the end, Qin Zhen added, "If you have some understanding of these worldly things, you don't need to listen to what they say, you can guess what they want."

Tang Sixian frowned when he heard this, and the word "Chuan" was formed.Dare to love her intuition is right,——Zhang Hu's favorite person is Qin Zhen, but Qin Zhen's family is higher than that of Zhang's family, and Zhang's family knows that they can't climb high.It happened that her elder sister appeared, and Zhang Hu found someone who could not only be a good wife, but also divert his love for Qin Zhen.

She didn't have any feelings for Zhang Hu at all, but when she learned that he had actually treated Tang Qingman as a backup, her hatred rose instantly.

It's just that this incident also made her realize that if she didn't work hard to improve her household status, then Tang Qingman might really have to find a partner from the garbage dump in the future.

"Little lady, you have been taught."

Qin Zhen tilted his head and looked at her curiously: "I found that sometimes you have a clear view of the world, but sometimes you don't know anything about folk customs. How did you grow those eyes?"

"Little lady, are you complimenting me? I'll take it as a compliment!" Tang Sixian said with a smile.

Qin Zhen smiled, neither admitting nor denying.

The more the two chatted, the more relaxed the atmosphere became. Just when Tang Sixian began to relax, Qin Yu suddenly appeared.When he saw the two of them, he gave a sudden pause, then put his hands on his hips, and shouted angrily, "Tang Sixian, are you looking for me?"

Tang Sixian's "tiger body" was startled, and he thought, Qin Yu's cannibalistic eyes, maybe he misunderstood her for harassing his precious daughter?

Although she was indeed the one who came to Qin Zhen on her own initiative, as evidenced by the sun and the moon, she has always paid attention to keeping a safe distance from Qin Zhen.

"Uh, yes, I'll look for the local secretary, and when I see the little lady, I'll ask her about your whereabouts." After Tang Sixian finished answering, he walked towards Qin Yu boldly.

Qin Yu looked at Qin Zhen with a complicated expression: "Ms. Zhen, your mother is looking for you, go home quickly."

"Daughter knows." Qin Zhen saw that Tang Sixian was about to be cleaned up by her father again, and suddenly felt that all the anger accumulated by the slander just now had found an outlet, and walked towards Qin's house with his head down and a snickering smile.

"Country scribe, what do you think I want you for?" Tang Sixian asked.

"What can I do with you? It's you, who looks for my daughter every day. Do you have anything to do?"

"I didn't have it at first, but who told me that when I have something to do, the country scribe is not by my side? I can't find the country scribe, so I have to ask the smart little lady to help answer some questions!"

Qin Yu's face darkened: "Go, go, get out, why are you breaking your sleeve? You're still 'by your side'!"

Tang Sixian refused to leave, she pretended to be friendly and asked: "Xiaoshushou, has Liang Shihe left?"

"He came back to prepare for the next Yuan Festival to worship the ancestors. How could he leave so soon? Although the Liang family no longer pursues the matter of Liang Jie's sneak attack, you should be more careful recently and don't confront them."

"Oh, I must be a man with my tail between my legs!"

-

Tang Sixian did what she said, until Mr. Zhou's fiftieth birthday, she didn't provoke troubles - the main reason was that no one provoked her, and others felt that she had become "quiet" when they saw her.

Tang Qingman always said to Qin Zhen: "Sixian has been very good lately."

Qin Zhen thought to himself that it was because the villagers had figured out Tang Sixian's temperament and could not get any benefit from her, so they stopped picking on her because of her words and deeds.

Besides, it was the deadline for the autumn tax, and they were all trying to find a way to collect the tax, so there was no time to trouble Tang Sixian.

Qin Zhen said: "Ah Tang, do you know that you always praise her in front of me, and I will take it to heart."

Tang Qingman was startled, a little flustered: "Ms. Zhen, I didn't mean to speak for Si Xian in front of you on purpose."

She was afraid that because she unconsciously praised Tang Sixian, her good sister would have the illusion that Tang Sixian was worth entrusting for life, and thus fell in love with her "brother".If so, then she committed a crime.

Qin Zhen smiled "puchi", and comforted him: "I know, I'm joking!"

Tang Qingman breathed a sigh of relief, but then became entangled with one more thing, which was what should she and Tang Sixian do.Tang Sixian took the place of her younger brother and was destined to be unable to marry the person he likes, marry a wife, or deceive another woman.

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that she had never asked Tang Sixian what he thought!

She once complained that Tang Sixian was not close to her, and refused to confide in her heart, but in fact, why wasn't she like this?

Tang Sixian at least asked her what she thought, but she kept it hidden and refused to say it.But she never asked Tang Sixian what he was thinking.

She struggled for two days, trying to find a chance to chat with Tang Sixian, but on the day Tang Sixian went to deliver fish to the Zhou family, a middle-aged woman suddenly came to her door and said to her cheerfully: "Miss Tang Son, you are really lucky!"

Even though it was cold winter, she was still waving a cattail fan in her hand. Tang Qingman recognized that she was a matchmaker in the village, and immediately became wary: "Why am I so lucky?"

"Someone came to propose marriage to you, what do you say it's not good luck?" the matchmaker laughed.Before coming here, she had done her homework and knew Tang Qingman's conditions, so she was a little more confident in saying kiss to herself.

"Who proposes marriage to me?"

"The Zhang family in the village, they have a son, Zhang Hu, who is eighteen years old. Although he is one year younger than you, he is right..." The matchmaker was full of hype when she opened her mouth.

Tang Qingman didn't want to hear it, and said: "My brother is not at home, so don't talk about it."

"The Zhang family is here to propose marriage to you, not to your younger brother. It doesn't matter if he is there or not. Besides, Zhang Dalang has already proposed marriage to him before, and he asked me to come here to show his respect and importance to you."

"I don't accept his marriage proposal. Go back and tell him that I don't have a dowry and I don't plan to marry him. Let him find another good match!"

Tang Qingman pushed the matchmaker out of the door, and was so angry that the matchmaker scolded her outside the door, "I said, why are you so ignorant, and you don't even look at your conditions. If someone is willing to propose marriage, it's considered worthy of you, and you still pick and choose! "

She scolded vigorously, and Tang Sixian came back.

"Who came here to find fault again, because they think I've been too kind recently, making you think I'm easy to bully, don't they?" Tang Sixian said coldly, taking the bamboo bamboo off his back and throwing it at the matchmaker.

"What are you doing?!" The matchmaker smelled a fishy smell on her body, and screamed, "I only talked about this marriage because I respected you, but I didn't expect that you really don't know what's good! You won't get married in the future, you have the ability Stop looking for me as a matchmaker!"

She left angrily, Tang Sixian was still a little puzzled, she pushed the door and found it couldn't be pushed, so she could only shout: "Sister, I'm back, you open the door."

Tang Qingman heard it, but she just wouldn't open it.

"Sister? Are you in there? Are you okay?" Tang Sixian thought that something happened to Tang Qingman, but after hearing this, Tang Qingman opened the door and looked at her with red eyes.

"Sister, did that woman bully you just now?"

Tang Qingman asked her: "Did you agree to Zhang Hu's marriage proposal?"

Tang Sixian instantly understood where the root of the matter was. She said: "How could I make a decision for you about your marriage? I saw that you had no intentions for him that day, and after I found out that his character was not good, So I went to reject him, who knows that his brain is so weak that he can't understand people's words."

She turned around and left, "I'll go and ask what's going on."

Tang Qingman calmed down, quickly grabbed her, and said: "Okay, since he can't understand people's words, I also reject the matchmaker, so forget it."

Tang Sixian: "Is that really the case?"

"Forget it, one more thing is worse than one less thing." Tang Qingman said, "Have all your fish been sent to Zhou's house?"

It's good that she didn't mention the Zhou family, but when it was mentioned, Tang Sixian suddenly remembered that there was something she had to tell Tang Qingman.

"Sister, I found our aunt!"

The author has something to say: Qin Belly Black: No one is better at identifying a good match than me.

Tang Moujian (proud): That's why you can find me!
