Traveling through ancient times with golden fingers to farm and raise cubs

Chapter 62 Shen Ye’s sweetheart

Because they came here to flee, in the past eighteen years, the men in the village basically have no financial means to find a wife. Now many of them have become older leftover men. Although girls are also affected, it is much better for men. They just marry to other villages. Life was not particularly good.

This time, it was a good opportunity for both men and women, and a wave of marriages swept up in an instant.

This resulted in Yu Xiaoxiao often either eating at a banquet or on the way to a banquet. Although the food was not good, she had to go.

Eighteen years have passed, and every household has gained some foundation. Meat is served at wedding banquets. Others are not like the Yu Xiaoxiao family who eat meat from time to time, so naturally they are not picky.

This happy event continued uninterrupted until the summer of the second year. There were a lot fewer familiar faces in the village, and there were also a lot more unfamiliar faces.

The population has increased even more. When Yu Xiaoxiao occasionally wanders around the village, she encounters many young wives she doesn't know.

This year, Aunt Pan’s and Aunt Li’s wages increased to 600 yuan per month. Aunt Li’s son and Aunt Pan’s son helped with the charcoal-burning work, and the twine-making work was also done by two other families. Good peers helped me do it.

Yu Xiaoxiao is completely idle every day, either playing games, lying at home, or going out for a wander.

Shen Ye and Shen Qi can support themselves, and they don't need Yu Xiaoxiao to think about them all the time. They have their own lives to live.

And Yu Xiaoxiao also wants to continue to live her retirement life in the village. As for the marriage of her two sons, Yu Xiaoxiao has agreed with the two children that it is entirely up to them. If they find someone they like, they will come back to tell her and give it to them. Propose marriage.

When Shen Ye heard that her mother said that she wanted to find an official matchmaker to arrange marriage, she felt warm and comfortable in her heart, and her eyes were full of gratitude.

She and I met at a banquet held by the Yang Mansion. I drank some wine that day and was a little tipsy. I took the wrong road and happened to meet her living in a dilapidated courtyard. She was dressed in coarse linen and had an elegant appearance. But it was very good. She was growing her own vegetables at that time.

In the spring when Shen Ye was 27 years old, she suddenly came back and said that she wanted to get married.

My accidental entrance scared her, and I quickly apologized to her. Then she drove me away with some restraint, and warned me not to wander around in other people's houses.

Although Yu Xiaoxiao meant to gossip, she still had to inquire clearly. Shen Ye obviously knew his mother's temperament, so he honestly explained the process of getting to know the girl.

"Sure."

Yu Xiaoxiao was stunned at that time. I'm afraid this son will be raised in vain. He didn't come back for a long time just to see me. He came back to ask me for something.

Shen Ye has grown into a young man. The childishness he once had has faded away. Now he has a scholarly temperament. When he smiles, he feels gentle and warm. His facial features have become tougher. His posture is tall and straight. He looks like a handsome young man. .

It wasn't until last year that I had the courage to buy a hairpin as a gift to her to express my feelings.

After that, I never appeared in front of her, but occasionally took the opportunity to look at her from a distance.

"She is the concubine of a branch of the Yang family. She has been born for more than a year. She has a very gentle temperament and is very good at dealing with people.

But at that time, she rejected me.

In the next few times, I also used the Yang Mansion banquet to go there and look at her from a distance. It was just that the longer I looked at her, the more I seemed to like her.

Shen Ye answered without hesitation, his eyes filled with anticipation.

I thanked her and walked out of her sight, but did not leave. Maybe I fell in love with her at first sight. I quietly watched her busy in the corner. When I came back to my senses, it was already over. For a long time, I could only leave quickly.

If this wasn't her son, Yu Xiaoxiao would have thought that Shen Ye was just a perverted peeping tom. Forget it, this is ancient times, people are called reserved.

Yu Xiaoxiao sighed deeply. She never knew that Shen Ye was still thinking about falling in love. From what he said, it was entirely his own thoughts. Didn't he think about asking that girl? Ideas?

Alas~ I can’t blame him. It was like this in ancient times. Blind marriage and mute marriage were the norm. It was already good that they could see each other twice. I couldn’t look at the problem from a modern point of view...

However, not long ago, I heard that the mistress of the Yang family was going to marry her, so I couldn't help it, so I went to the Yang Mansion again and met her.

"Okay, tomorrow I will go find someone to inquire. If there is no problem with his character, I will ask the official media to help him."

Also, Yu Xiaoxiao wants to ask, does this really mean she wants to fall in love? It’s definitely not that the girl doesn’t want to marry someone she’s never met, and she only accepts you because you’re at least good-looking, and she’s acquainted with you?

I asked her if she knew that Mistress Yang was planning to marry her, and she said she knew. I thought about it, and finally decided to ask her again, and handed her the hairpin I had collected.

Yu Xiaoxiao asked with a smile: "Whose girl is she from? What's her temperament like? Is her character decent? How do you know each other? Tell me quickly."

Therefore, except for occasionally thinking about her son, Yu Xiaoxiao spends all her time doing nothing.

"Mom, I have someone I like. When I come back this time, I want to ask my mother to propose marriage for me."

There are two types of matchmakers. One is the ordinary matchmaker, which is of a private nature. Most people hire this kind of matchmaker.

So I came back in a hurry and wanted to ask you, mother, to be a matchmaker for me."

After coming back for dinner, Shen Ye sat next to Yu Xiaoxiao, told Yu Xiaoxiao about his current situation, and asked about Yu Xiaoxiao's current situation, and then revealed the purpose of his return with a blushing face.

After listening to the whole thing, Yu Xiaoxiao had so many things to complain about, and she didn’t even know where to start.

However, that's what Yu Xiaoxiao thought in her heart, and she still had some sense. Her son was already 27. This era really belongs to older leftover men. If they don't get married, no one will want them.

There really shouldn’t be too many flaws. Yu Xiaoxiao felt like she couldn’t complain about it anymore, but fortunately, Yu Xiaoxiao knew what the point was and asked solemnly: “Ye’er, are you sure? Otherwise, there will be no chance to regret it. .”

The other is media management. This kind of official media helps the government do things. It often gets a bad reputation because of orders issued by superiors to pair up two people who do not match each other. However, because it is an official media, It is a status symbol in itself.

This time she looked at me for a long time, finally took the hairpin, left a sentence of "I'll wait for you", and ran away with a blushing face.

Rich families and officials all like to use official media, so asking an official media to talk about your marriage also represents a serious attitude.

Therefore, Shen Ye felt that Yu Xiaoxiao valued his sweetheart.

As for Yu Xiaoxiao, she felt that it was more formal to hire an official media, and anyway, even if she was a concubine, she belonged to the Yang family, so hiring an official media would be considered as saving her face.

So a beautiful misunderstanding occurred, and no one explained it.
