    No one thought that this matchmaker Wang, who was so smeared and vulgar, and talked about running a mule, came to Liu's house today not to arrange a match for the young and handsome Liu Wenyang, but to arrange a marriage for the old man Liu Da!  Liu Wenyang couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart, the matchmakers in the Ming Dynasty were so loving, what should he do?  Applause and welcome, or sternly reject?  !  After all, no one wants a stepmother to fall from the sky, but Sister Lin can make do with it.  Liu Wenyang thought about it over and over again, unable to make a decision.  Father Liuda was also a little stunned.  In fact, when the old man heard that the matchmaker was going to marry him, he couldn't help but feel guilty. He finally calmed down and secretly glanced at his son to see his reaction, but he saw Liu Wenyang sitting on the chair at some point.  He was holding a teacup and drinking slowly, as if he didn't care at all.  As for the fat woman next to Liu Neng, when she heard that the matchmaker was going to introduce women to the old man, her ears immediately stood up, and her heart started to beat with gongs and drums, and she started to get nervous.  My heart said, something bad is going on, something is going wrong!  Maybe there is a new mistress of the Liu family, and I will have to look at her face when the time comes.  As the saying goes: It is easy for brothers to harmonize, but it is difficult for sisters-in-law to move in. Maybe they will be kicked out before they even warm up the quilt when they move in.  How could Matchmaker Wang know that one of her words had made people panic, and she was still showing off and said: "Not to mention, there is no way to stop this marriage once it comes. By coincidence, there happens to be a family in a nearby town with a rich family."  He is wealthy and his daughter is young, beautiful, quiet and virtuous.  It¡¯s a pity that I got a strange illness not long ago, and I need to arrange a marriage to celebrate" "I also choose here and there, hoping to find a family with a good family background, who will care about others to marryI  But I found out.  The other party's requirements are not too high, and he doesn't even care about the man's age. He also said that age hurts people, you see.  If this isn't a God-given marriage, what is it?  !  ' Matchmaker Wang was vomiting all over the place and praising the girl like a flower. She also said that such a good thing is hard to find even if you use a lantern. If you miss it, there will be no shop like this in the village.  Dad Liu Da looked embarrassed, saying that he was not tempted, that would be a lie.  I heard the matchmaker talk about it for so long.  He could not help but draw up a picture of a beautiful woman smiling at him.  As an old man who has stayed alone in a vacant house for many years, his father Liuda also yearns for someone to chat with, eat with, and toss with the bed board at night But he can't say these words, he wants to show his strength in front of his son  'Keep your body like jade'.  Showing his "unswerving loyalty", he expressed his infinite nostalgia and unforgettable memory for Liu Wenyang's deceased mother As the saying goes: Who can understand the boring heart?  Who can know the suffering of men?  !  Just when his father, Liu Da, was feeling extremely depressed, Liu Wenyang, who was sitting over there, suddenly spoke and said, 'Grandma Wang, you praise this girl like a flower, but you don't know how old this girl is?  ¡® Wang Po heard something interesting.  He is still the son of the person involved, and he seems to be quite interested in finding a stepmother for him.  So he walked up to Liu Wenyang and said: 'I am about the same age as you, haha, man, he is very handsome!  ¡® ¡®Is it similar to me?  But it's a little smaller.  ¡®Liu Wenyang was talking, but he was thinking in his heart.  Forget it, just find me a stepmother, and find me someone of the same age.  How do you want me to call her Matchmaker Wang is also a shrewd person, and she will understand it just by looking at Liu Wenyang's expression.  Said: 'I understand what you mean, Mr. Liu But since ancient times, men have only asked for younger wives when marrying. I have never heard of anyone liking old girls; not to mention that your father is only in his thirties and is in the prime of life.  When you are in your prime, you should marry a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old!  ¡®Liu Wenyang also knew that what the matchmaker said was true. In the Ming Dynasty, it was legal and reasonable for a man to have three wives and four concubines, let alone a minor wife.  But for someone like Liu Wenyang to suddenly accept a little girl as a stepmother, it was really a bit embarrassing for him.  ¡®Ahem, Granny Wang, I understand what you¡¯re saying.  'Liu Wenyang glanced at the old man next to him, and saw that the old guy pretended to be very reserved and resistant on the surface, but in fact his ears had long been pricked up, and his little heart was probably about to pop out.  'It's just that since this girl's family is so outstanding, why' Before Liu Wenyang could finish what he said, the matchmaker said: 'Didn't I tell you that this girl is seriously ill and needs to find a match to celebrate the occasion?  So there is no need to pick and choose, as long as the man has a good heart, is honest enough, and knows how to care for others, the woman will be willing to marry!  ¡®Whatever I wanted to say was said by this fast-talking matchmaker. I guess dad¡¯s heart was already bubbling with beauty at this time.  What should a son do?  Is it a fulfillment or a hindrance?  !  Liu Wenyang was thinking like this, then he slowly picked up the tea cup and said: 'But I don't know which family this girl belongs to?  ¡® Matchmaker Wang was a little relieved when she heard Liu Wenyang¡¯s tone.Jin raised his eyebrows in joy and said: 'Oh, speaking of which, this girl is also very destined to your family. She is Zhang Yingying, the daughter of Zhang Dahu's family, who is also known as the Four Great Good People with you!  Liu Wenyang was drinking tea with a cup in his hand. When he heard this, he made a puff sound and sprayed a mouthful of tea directly into Matchmaker Wang's face.  The matchmaker Wang was smiling brightly with her face covered with asparagus. The makeup on her face was already very thick, but after being sprayed with tea, it turned into a big face, but when she saw the red and white mixed together, she looked miserable.  The matchmaker didn¡¯t expect Liu Wenyang to react like this. She stood there stupidly, like one of those actors who got caught in the rain, looking indescribably funny.  The fat lady has always been on tenterhooks, fearing that the old Liu family would marry her stepmother and kick her out. Seeing this, she couldn't help but want to clap her hands and applaud.  As for his father, Liu Da, he was also agitated. He was shocked by Matchmaker Wang's words. You must know that he knew everything about the wealthy Zhang family. He learned from his son that Zhang Yingying was an unfaithful daughter.  Whoever marries her will immediately become a ready-made 'bastard'.  Liu Wenyang was also frightened by the matchmaker's words, so he spit out a mouthful of tea.  I remember that the rich man wanted to give his daughter to him and promised to accompany him with a lot of dowry, so that he could become the real "cuckold king".  In the end, he was sternly rejected by himself. He never thought that today, the matchmaker Wang would actually come to do a 'secondary promotion', and the target of the promotion was actually his father!  As for Matchmaker Wang, she also complained that she didn't find out clearly beforehand. She only knew that Liu Wenyang and Zhang Dahu were both respected as the "Four Good People", but she didn't know that the two had such a "connection" in private, so she was unlucky and had to eat.  Liu Wenyang's "tea spurt" made him look like a clown.  ¡®Young master of the Liu family, I only know that you are gentle and elegant, but I don¡¯t understand why you spray me with this tea?  Did I say something wrong?  ¡®Liu Wenyang apologized hurriedly: ¡®Don¡¯t blame Mother Wang, I couldn¡¯t help myself just now¡­¡¯ Matchmaker Wang said: ¡®Can¡¯t help myself?  ' Liu Wenyang said: 'As you said, I have a close relationship with that wealthy man, so I didn't expect that you would introduce his daughter to my father so coincidentally I didn't expect it at all!  ' Matchmaker Wang took out her handkerchief and wiped the stained face on her face, but she felt that she had completely humiliated everyone today, so she said angrily: 'Okay, I won't be wordy anymore. Just give me the right words. Do you want to?  willing?  If you don't want to, I won't stay here to be poor, I will go back to take care of other things!  ¡® ¡®This¡­ this matter is so important that my father still needs to make his own decision!  Dad, what do you think?  ¡®Liu Wenyang looked at his father Liu Da with a half-smile.  The old man immediately waved his hands and said: ¡®She and I are not suitable!  Very inappropriate!  But it¡¯s all thanks to you, Grandma Wang, for your hard work. I¡¯m old and she¡¯s still young, so I don¡¯t want people to say that I¡¯m an old cow eating young grass!  ¡®¡­ Matchmaker Wang didn¡¯t expect that things would take a turn for the worse. Things were fine just now, and the old man seemed to be tempted, but now Every one of the Liu family is so evil, and nothing can ever happen!  Thinking of this, Matchmaker Wang had no intention of continuing her love affair. She wiped her painted face casually and said, "Since you have said so, well, I won't say moreit depends on the opportunity. I will  Let me tell you another good one!  'After saying this, I was discouraged and prepared to go home.  Liu Wenyang hurriedly greeted the maids to see off the guests, and before leaving, he said: "Mother Wang, please go slowly. Please come here more often. Please forgive me for not greeting me well!"  ' Matchmaker Wang said heartily, 'You little bastard, what you say is better than what you sing!  Next time you don't spray me with tea, I will thank God!  ' Seeing Matchmaker Wang leaving, the fat lady breathed a sigh of relief and stopped staying. She stamped the man's feet and said, 'Then we're going back too!  'But she grabbed the man and ran towards her. She wanted to pack her things at home as quickly as possible, and then move in quickly.  Seeing that the originally lively room suddenly became deserted again, Liu Wenyang shrugged and suddenly said to his father Liu Da: 'Dad, to be honest, do you really want to renew your relationship?  ¡®The father sighed and said: ¡®Son, what kind of person do you want to be as a father?  Your mother only passed away a few years ago, how could I renew her relationship so soon?  ' Liu Wenyang said hurriedly: 'That's not what I mean, I just think that if you are lonely, you can drink tea, listen to songs, or even find someone to chat. These are all good activities.  ' Liu Da waved his hand and said: 'Okay, you don't have to say anything. In short, before you get married and start a career, I will never renew my relationship as your father!  ' Seeing him like this, Liu Wenyang stopped talking. Originally, he wanted to tactfully advise him, saying that he was not so conservative, but the words came to his lips but he did not say it.  Father Liu Da is closed when he sees his sonHe opened his mouth and remembered that his brother Liu Neng had asked the same question. The old man couldn't help but sigh in his heart: 'Alas, a well-fed man doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is!  ¡®
