Chapter 167 Matchmaking

When it comes to Xiaoqing, Sixi was a little embarrassed. She cried and shouted that she wanted to marry Xiaoqing, but she still felt a little ashamed when she got married to someone else after just now.

"What did you mention the past on this happy day?" Brother Sixi hurriedly stabbed his wife.

"It's all the damn Xiaoqing and his son who came to talk nonsense, I just mentioned it now." Sixi's sister-in-law muttered.

"Did you see Xiaoqing?" Sixi asked.

"Yes, their family is back, so Qiaojie may be lost. Ask us if we know where Qiaojie is." Sixi, who just came back from the kitchen, sighed, "It's so pitiful, Sixi, you have been in the city. Your husband is capable. If you can, please help find it, your neighbors."

Sixi's sister-in-law said, "Mom, Qiaojie is not a three-year-old child. I don't know how to go home. Do you still need to find it? Let Deputy General Pang know and ask about their relationship with our family. What do we say? Don't worry about it. Maybe Qiaojie will come back by herself in two days."

"Dad, mom, I remember that there is something else at home. I'll end up talking about this today. I'll leave first." Si Xi said that.

"Let's go after the meal. The rice is cooked and you can cook two dishes. Sixi, chat with your parents, I'll go to cook with your elder brother." Sixi's sister-in-law said as she was about to walk to the kitchen.

"No, sister-in-law, father-in-law, brother, I'll come back tomorrow, or you can come to see me." Sixi seemed very anxious.

"Then let your elder brother give you a look and recognize the door by the way." Si Xi Niang suggested.

"Okay, brother, please leave quickly." Si Xi left in a hurry and did not refuse.

A courtyard in the city.

Sixi looked at Su Yiqing with a calm face and asked, "Sister Qiao, won't you go and see it? Xiaoqing is very worried about you."

"No need... please help them give them some money... Forget it, just tell them that I'm fine and have left." Su Yiqing thought about the troubles now, it would be better not to mix up Xiaoqing and his son. Everyone has their own problems, and no one can help anyone for the rest of their lives.

"Why should I tell Xiaoqing? You have left." Sixi was very puzzled.

Su Yiqing said lightly: "Sixi, I remind you once that marrying into a wealthy family, especially a general in the army, is that you don't have too much curiosity and don't ask so many reasons. It will upset men."

"Sister Qiao, I understand." Sixi didn't dare to ask again.

"If you are idle, practice your cooking skills or needlework. People always have to do something to avoid thinking about it." Su Yiqing said lightly.

Sixi suddenly felt that Sister Qiao in front of her seemed to have the ability to see through people's hearts, and even knew what she wanted.

Thinking of this, she didn't even dare to think about it.

When I returned home, the maid said there was a guest and went over to see that it was the wife of the husband's servant Hu. I only met once. I was not in Yunzhou during the war. I came from another place after winning the battle. I don't know how people are.

Sixi ordered the maid to serve tea.

After Madam Hu sat down, her eyes kept turning, which made Sixi feel uncomfortable inexplicably. Judging from her appearance, she seemed to be measuring the value of others, which was similar to whether it was a good deal for buying vegetables in the vegetable market.

"Mrs. Pang, I came in a hurry. Please accept this little gift." Mrs. Hu took out a box wrapped in a red gift, not knowing what it was inside.

Sixi nodded and signaled to the maid's subordinates that the gifts were mentioned at home. They could no longer push and block them like before, and they could not force the guests to take them back. That would not give people face.

She didn't understand these rules before. In the past, when she was at home, guests often came to her house, and politely followed the guests to take them back and let them take them back. This happened from time to time. The neighbors were like this and didn't think it was anything, but now it doesn't work. These rules were said by the Tong Pozi, who was invited by the family.

Mrs. Tong used to work at a third-rank official's house. When she was old, she wanted to return home to enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren. Unexpectedly, she encountered war and lost a little wealth when she fled. There was no way, and she could no longer eat at home to see her wife's expression, so she tried to find something to do. Just have a good meal. It would be even better if she pulled a few clothes for her grandson a few months ago every month.

Today, Yunzhou has the most lacking in servants, selling children everywhere, and no one wants strong people. It is actually difficult for Tong Pozi to find something to do, but when he was picking people that day, Qiaojie came over and saw it, so she asked her to keep Tong Pozi, saying that she wanted Tong Pozi to teach the rules.

There are many things in Yunzhou that are not particular, but other places may not be necessary. If Pang Jin makes great contributions that day and moves to the capital as a general, this rule should not be careless.

People like Tong Pozi will work in an official family all their lives, so they must know a little about the rules. Let her teach her first. If you need it in the future, you will be looking for a formal nanny. It will not make people laugh at it.

Mrs. Tong knew a lot, and even learned how to sit. She held a cup with a few fingers when drinking tea, etc. She paid a lot of attention at first. But later, she suddenly felt that Mrs. Tong asked for it, and she seemed to have done everything that Mrs. Tong asked, "Jia Qiao did it." She was walking with a big step, and when she turned around, she could not raise the ears that were already wearing on the corner of her skirt.

When Tong Pozi met Qiaojie, he secretly told her that Qiaojie must be from a wealthy family, and must be a third-rank official in the capital. She must be more than the third-rank official. She is truly well-mannered and can't learn it without more than ten years of hard work.

She put away her contemptuousness at that time. Qiaojie was the person she admired the most in her life. She had more skills than men. Is the so-called lady in her family like this? Then she also hoped to be such a person, so she learned from Mrs. Tong at a glance.

"Mrs. Hu, is there anything wrong?" Si Xi found that she was a little distracted. Fortunately, this Mrs. Hu was just looking around and didn't care.

"It's okay, I just came to Yunzhou for the first time and didn't know anything, and I didn't know anyone. I was so bored at home. Thinking that you knew your sister, I came over to disturb me with shame." Madam Hu said with a smile.

Sixi didn't think anything strange. She was a woman who liked the excitement and naturally understood Madam Hu's actions.

It is rare that Miss Hu is enthusiastic and capable, so she starts to speak like a family matter.

But as she talked, she felt something was abnormal. Madam Hu kept asking about her family background, especially who were in the family, but she didn't mention her own. Generally speaking, she had to mention her casual conversation, right?

However, Sixi felt that she lived in Yunzhou and could not hide some of the situations, so she didn't hide anything. Madam Hu said whatever she asked. Until she dug up the eighth generation of the ancestors of the Sixi family, Madam Hu was not satisfied and asked again: "Sister, don't you still have a sister?"

Sixi was a little alert and smiled and said, "Madam Hu, you even ask how many sisters my sister-in-law's family have. I haven't asked you how many people there are in your family?"

"Hey, my family is all rural, it's better not to mention it." said Mrs. Hu.

Sixi stopped talking at once. No matter how bad she is, she can still be worse than her family? This lady Hu asked about the situation in her family, but she didn't say anything at all. What is this?

Madam Hu couldn't see Sixi's boredom, and said to herself: "Miss Sixi, I heard that your sister is a good person. Although she is a widow, she..."

"Madam, the soup for the master on the stove is ready. Do you want to go and have a look?" Tong Pozi, who was beside Sixi, suddenly spoke out.

"Okay, I'll go and have a look now." After hearing this, Sixi immediately said to Madam Hu: "Madam Hu, I'll come when I go."

After going out, Sixi remembered that she didn't seem to have ordered any soup, just because she often cooked food for her husband. Today, she was upset by Madam Hu and was a little confused. After Mrs. Tong said this, she followed her out.

Tong Pozi asked without waiting for Sixi, and hurriedly said, "Madam, I want to remind you that this Mrs. Hu wants to be a matchmaker for Miss Qiao. Be careful, this woman's mouth looks a bit... In short, don't say too much."

With the reminder from Tong Pozi, Sixi returned to the house and faced Madam Hu, she became a little cold.

No matter how Miss Hu cliched, she only said that she had no blood relationship with Qiaojie and was just a sister who was dependent on each other in chaos, and she was not very clear about Qiaojie.

Madam Hu left in disappointment, and then Sixi followed what Madam Tong said and returned a gift that was about the same price as her.

However, Miss Hu continued to visit the door within two days and said her purpose in a concealed manner.

He said that he had a younger brother in his family. He was injured in the war and his wife was gone and there was no one to take care of him. He wanted to talk about a wife. After asking, he thought Qiaojie was very good. He wanted to tell her younger brother, but he also said that her younger brother was so good. He was still a scholar. Although he had been married, he had no children and was just a match for Qiaojie.

Sixi could hardly speak. This Madam Hu could not do this even if she could do it? It seemed that she had never met Sister Qiao, but she actually said to the matchmaker like this, so she refused coldly.

Unexpectedly, Miss Hu started to belittle Sister Qiao like a matchmaker who told people about being close to others.

Sixi was furious. The country girl showed her nature and without saying a word, she drove Miss Hu out, regardless of whether the neighbors lived in her husband, colleagues and family members, and even threw the gifts back.

This Madam Hu is not a person with a good idea in her heart. She dares to plot like this and speaks like this, but she doesn't have much cleverness in her mind. She talks a little familiar with her at the door and says a few words.

As a result, on the second day, Hu Xiaowei divorced Miss Hu with a divorce letter.

Madam Hu hugged his son and cried at the door. Madam Hu didn't open the door and just spoke. He might as well have a wife who likes to spread rumors. If Madam Hu doesn't want this son, Madam Hu, just stay, or take him away, and the two of them have nothing to do with each other in the future.
