Farmhouse is so old

Speaking of marriage, how can you get married without a dress!According to the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, only the regular wife can wear the official red wedding dress.But there are generally not so many rules in the countryside, and some people who are more particular will cut a piece of red cloth to cover the bride's head.But more people get married wearing a patch.

Thinking about it, Tang Qing happened to be walking in front of a cloth shop.The waiter at the door of the store had seen Tang Qing a long time ago, and before Tang Qing walked in, the waiter greeted him first: "Guest officer, do you want to make clothes?" Seeing Tang Qing nodded, the shop waiter pulled Tang Qing up. Just go to the store, very enthusiastic.

When I entered the store, I saw that there were all kinds of cloths inside, only there was a counter in the middle of the opposite door, and there was an old man inside who was doing abacus.

"Guest officer, what kind of clothes do you want to make?" As soon as he entered the store, the waiter couldn't wait to ask Tang Qinglai.

"Wedding clothes."

"Okay, okay, come here, guest officer." The waiter hurriedly pulled Tang Qing to a container.Tang Qing looked up and saw that there were all kinds of red cloth in front of the container, such as positive red, rose red, bright red and so on.Tang Qing pointed to the red cloth and asked, "How do you sell this cloth?"

"Guest officer, this red cloth costs 200 renminbi a foot. If you make it into a garment, you will have to add 100 renminbi for handwork. Of course, you can rest assured of the workmanship in our store. Look, this is the product requested by the previous batch of customers. It hasn't come yet." Take, look at this handwork, this stitching is definitely much better than the ones made by myself." The waiter in the shop said, and took a piece of growth that was put aside together, and showed it to Tang Qing one by one.

"It's really good." But Tang Qing remembered that he didn't know Zhou Qing's height and the size of his clothes, which made him a little embarrassed.But this cloth is really expensive at 200 Wen per foot. A piece of cloth ten feet costs 2 taels of silver.No wonder many people don't use red cloth for wedding dresses, because they can't afford it...

"How much cloth is needed to make a wedding dress?" Tang Qing asked again.

"Guest, all the cloth in our store comes from Jiangnan. The cloth in Jiangnan is three feet wide and ten feet long. There is still some leftovers for a piece of cloth like yours."

When the waiter in the shop said this, Tang Qing felt confident, and asked the waiter in the shop to wrap two bolts of red cloth, and saw a few bolts of blue cotton cloth beside him, which was very beautiful.Can't help but feel a little moved.

The waiter in the store saw Tang Qing looking directly at the few pieces of cloth, and hurried over to Tang Qing and said, "Guest officer, you have a good eye. This is the most popular cloth in our shop. There are dozens of pieces of cloth, and only a few pieces are left after selling." , if you want, guest officer, 50 Wen per foot."

"Why is it so cheap?" Tang Qing is not stupid. The same cotton cloth is red and costs 200 cash, but it is directly reduced to 50 cash for a different color.

"To tell you the truth, the color of the cloth is really nice, but it's also ruined. You can see that the front part is fine, but the back is full of spots." The waiter opened the cloth as he spoke, and it was true that the back part did not have the front part. Good looking, noticeably uneven color distribution.

Tang Qing thought that he didn't have a few decent clothes, they were all made of linen, and he needed a change of clothes anyway. Thinking that Zhou Qing probably didn't have one either, he asked for two more bolts of blue cloth.

The shopkeeper's crackling abacus removed Tang Qing's five taels of silver as soon as he hit it.The shop clerk had a smile all over his face.Tang Qing, who had always had no idea about money, felt heartbroken for no reason when he saw the money that had just been put into his purse and hadn't been warmed up yet.

Carrying the free cloth package from the shopkeeper, Tang Qing walked out of the cloth shop.Next, Tang Qing bought some oil, salt and some daily necessities and left the town.As soon as I left the town, I saw Uncle Liu, and the other four people were also present, chatting about what they saw and heard in the town.Seeing Tang Qing arrived, they all got into the car.

"Hey, kid Qing bought some cloth." A woman in her 40s looked at the package in Tang Qing's hand and asked.

"That's right, auntie, isn't this prepared for the wedding?" Tang Qing admitted generously.Anyway, everyone in the village knew that he made some money from hunting.

Tang Qing's cloth was wrapped in cloth, and no one else could tell what kind of cloth was inside, so it was assumed that Tang Qing bought ordinary linen.

"This marriage is a top priority. Don't be sloppy. Speaking of this marriage, let me tell you..." This aunt also knew about Tang Qing's marriage. She thought Tang Qing was dissatisfied with Zhou's brother, so she didn't bother to stab him. heart.Instead, he quickly changed the subject.

Tang Qing was also relieved to see that they were no longer paying attention to him.He had just arrived and didn't know how to get along with them.It can only be said less and less wrong.

All the way was spent in the bumps of the bullock cart and the gossip of a few aunts.When he arrived at the village, Tang Qing got out of the car quickly to make room for his aunts.I paid the car fare and thanked Uncle Niu.Only then did Tang Qing take the package and walk back.

It was already afternoon, and Tang Qing hadn't had lunch yet.Immediately, I felt a strong sense of hunger in my stomach.After grabbing some food in a hurry, Tang Qing rushed to Aunt Zhou's house with a chicken.

The wedding cannot be delayed any longer, and the field work is almost done.Wait for a while and it will be cold.In the winter of the Ming Dynasty, there was so much snow that people couldn't go out.

At this point, everyone in the village has just had dinner, and they are all eating and gossiping at the entrance of the village.Suddenly seeing Tang Qing walking towards the entrance of the village carrying a chicken, a curious aunt asked, "Boy Qing, where are you going with the chicken?"

"Go to Mrs. Zhou's house."

As soon as Tang Qing said the words, the surrounding air froze for three seconds.Go to Aunt Zhou's house, what does Aunt Zhou do? Aunt Zhou is the only matchmaker around Zhoujia Village.So it goes without saying that Tang Qing went to Mrs. Zhou's house.

Tang Qing didn't care much about other people's opinions, so he just left.Leave a bunch of gossiping villagers.

"I still need a matchmaker to marry my brother. Is this kid Qing crazy?" said a fatter village woman among the villagers.

"You don't know yet, didn't this kid Qing always go hunting in the mountains a few days ago, and the prey he hunted were often sent to Zhou Dafu's family, and even his old house enjoyed a lot of blessings."

"Yo, and this matter, why don't I know, you tell me about it."

The villagers all flocked together and became curious when they heard the gossip.In the past, there were so many people in Zhoujia Village, and everyone knew what happened to each house.Whenever I hear new gossip, I am very interested, and it is good to pass the time.

No matter what the villagers were talking about behind their backs, Tang Qing walked into Aunt Zhou's house.

Apparently Mrs. Zhou's family had just finished eating and was clearing the table.Seeing Tang Qing coming in, Aunt Zhou's eldest son, Zhou Guangkang, brought a stool to Tang Qing with a wink, and motioned for Tang Qing to sit on it.Tang Qing waved his hand, but Zhou Guangkang didn't insist, let go of the stool and walked away.

"Boy Qing is here, sit down quickly, and I'll come as soon as I pack up." Aunt Zhou also knew that Tang Qing probably came to her for marriage.I took care of it and continued to work. If I delay for a while, it will be dark, and I won't be able to see anything by then.

"Auntie, you are busy with your work, I am not in a hurry."

Aunt Zhou smiled when she heard what Tang Qing said, "I'll be fine in a while, and Guangkang will pour you a cup of tea for Brother Qing."

"Don't be so troublesome." Tang Qinggang said that he wanted to refuse, and Zhou Guangkang poured the tea and handed it to him.Tang Qing reluctantly took it and took a few sips.

After a while, Mrs. Zhou packed up and said to Tang Qing with a smile, "Tell me, what's the matter with me, Auntie?"

"Boy, I have invited my aunt to be a matchmaker. My aunt also knows that I and Zhou Qing from the south of the village are official spouses. We have to get married after the autumn harvest. It's a happy event. I don't want the wedding to be simple, so I invite my aunt Come up with a charter for me." Seeing Aunt Zhou's question, Tang Qing replied with a smile.

Tang Qing's words shocked Aunt Zhou.According to Tang Qing, this is a wedding.To be honest, there are really few families in these ten miles and eight villages who are willing to hold a wedding for my brother, let alone invite a matchmaker.But Mrs. Zhou quickly realized and said with a smile, "Marriage is a big deal, and it should be done." Whatever Tang Qing wants to do, she is a matchmaker anyway, and when it's time to make money, there is no reason to push the money out .

Then Tang Qing discussed the details of the wedding with Aunt Zhou.Aunt Zhou took out a yellowed calendar, flipped through it again and again, and finalized the appointment in three days, and the marriage in fifteen days.Then he told Tang Qing about some small details of the wedding and things to pay attention to.Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Qing got up to leave; "This will trouble my aunt."

"Whether it's troublesome or not, it should be, it should be." Aunt Zhou sent Tang Qing out of the house with a smile.But my heart is not at peace.Unexpectedly, Tang Qing not only wanted to organize a wedding for Zhou Qing, but also bought a red cloth to make a wedding dress.Zhou Qing is really lucky to meet someone who treats him so well.But this kid is not bad, he is honest and willing to work. Although he is taller and taller, he is still a good person. Presumably, the two of them are also a good couple.

But these are not what Aunt Zhou is happy about. What Aunt Zhou is most happy about is that she can earn a lot of money this time.You should know that there is no need to hire a matchmaker to marry a brother, let alone this is an official match.This kind of matchmaking will definitely succeed, which is no different from dropping money in the sky.

Aunt Zhou is in a good mood, so she sleeps well.Get up early the next morning and go straight to Zhou Qing's house in the north of the village.

"Is Dafu's family here?"

Zhou Qing's family had just finished breakfast when they heard someone shouting outside.The whole family was a little confused, who came early in the morning.

Zhou Shan opened the door, and Mrs. Zhou walked in with a smile, "I said big sister, this is really a happy event."

When Zhou Shanniang saw that it was Mrs. Zhou who came, she probably guessed what was going on in her heart.He also greeted him with a smile on his face.He also told Zhou Qing to pour a bowl of sugar water.There is nothing else in the house, except a bowl of sugar water.

After Mrs. Zhou drank the sugar water, she came in style.Although Zhou Shanniang knew why Aunt Zhou came here, she couldn't stop being happy after hearing it.Unexpectedly, Tang Qing was willing to marry his family Zhou Qing.There is nothing that mothers can be happier than seeing their children doing well.Not to mention the betrothal gift, the fact that the Ming media is marrying shows Tang Qing's attitude.

Aunt Zhou had agreed that Tang Qing would be leaving in three days after her appointment, and Zhou Shan's family happily sent Aunt Zhou out of the house.

Zhou Shan's family couldn't hide their joy after sending off Aunt Zhou.Chow Tai Fook was so happy that he kept saying: "Good, good, good.".
