The wood mage and the native brother

They said they were here to chat, but in fact, everyone present understood that it was the man who came to see each other.

Granny Fang had found similar reasons before, she had already met the man of the He family, and she felt satisfied that she made today's move.

So the old lady Fang smiled and invited the two to sit at the wooden table under the shade of the tree, and asked Ji Deng to pour three bowls of water, and then she said to the elder woman,

"Isn't Duanzhu's family hot from the midday sun? Drink water quickly, and the Qin family's is too."

Duanzhu's family took a sip from the bowl, and praised with a smile,

"It's really a geomantic treasure of Ji's family. Not to mention a talented boy, even the water is so sweet."

Granny Fang laughed even wider, but fortunately, remembering what happened today, she cut straight to the point and looked at the Qin family's way,

"The child's father and father went early, so I can only show up as a grandmother. Brother Deng is a hardworking child and a filial person. If I hadn't reached my age, I would like to stay for two years and wait for his aunt to think about it for him. Woolen cloth."

The Qin family put the bowl on the table and smiled, but he didn't believe it.

The words are sweet, but it is normal for brothers to marry at the age of seventeen or eighteen, and the younger brother of the Ji family is only fourteen, so why is he in such a hurry.

Granny Fang went out to see each other these days, and everyone in the village guessed that she was going to offer the elder brother's dowry as a gift.Who wants to be blackmailed by Mrs. Fang?As soon as they heard it was Ji's family, they all rejected it.The eldest of Ji's family is good for being admitted to Tongsheng, but his father, Mr. Ji, who is a scholar, has become a grandfather. Is he still a poor scholar?

The Qin family's heart was clear, so they just smiled, and didn't respond to Mrs. Fang's words, but tilted their heads and looked at Brother Deng who was standing aside.

Ji Deng felt his eyes moving back and forth on his body, looking at his nose, nose and heart, but his palms were sweating nervously.

After looking at it for a long time, the Qin family nodded in satisfaction. Everyone in the village can see this little brother's ability, and he has a good temper. She can manage it after marriage.Although the appearance is ordinary, it is also neat.

The most important thing is that he is a brother, so the bride price naturally cannot be compared with that of the girl's family.

Thinking of this, the Qin family smiled,

"The children of Ji's family are really good everywhere. Dalang works as an accountant in the county. He is decent and brisk. Erlang Saburo is a promising student. Even the little brother is well-behaved and capable."

After hearing what the Qin family said, Mrs. Fang knew it was done.Send Deng Geer to the side, hehe laughed a few times, and tentatively said,

"Then what do the Qin family think about this betrothal gift?"

The Qin family glanced at Duanzhu's family, Duanzhu's family understood, smiled and stretched out a finger,

"The Qin family hired Brother Deng, and they are willing to give half of it."

"Half time?"

Granny Fang suddenly felt a little unhappy.

A tael of silver is worth one tael of silver, and a tael of silver is only worth a tael of silver.Ji Hai went to the township test this time, and he didn't need money for food, drink, housing, and transportation.Mrs. Fang also thought about having more dowry gifts, so she could save some for her family if she could scrape together her hands.

"One-and-a-half is too low. There is no one who abuses our elder brother so badly. At any rate, there is a scholar in my family who has a boy, and he is one of the best in the village. Just for this, it will be two and a half."

Granny Fang stretched out her finger and made a two.

The Qin family sneered.

If this little brother is Ji Hai's son, there are still people who are willing to fight for the future.But it happened to be just a nephew.This little guy is usually as busy as a cow, who can't see it in the village.If she hadn't thought about marrying back and going to the fields with the man at home, she wouldn't have been relieved by Duan Zhu's family.

"Aunt Ji's words are not acceptable. Let's go to the village to find out. Two and a half pennies are enough to hire a girl. If it's your daughter, it's not impossible for me to pay two and a half pennies."

The way of the Qin family.

"That won't work."

Mrs. Fang vetoed it outright. Sister Xie is a girl, so she would have to pay three pennies to hire her.But seeing the Qin family's uncompromising appearance, he gritted his teeth and said,

"Add another half, make a whole, two. My brother Deng is so capable, how much work can he do for your family when he goes to your house. If it doesn't work, then forget it, my child can't let you be so bad."

The Qin family is not in a hurry either.

"Aunt Ji, that's not what you said. You have been around the village, and you know what people think. If you miss my house, can you find someone else to meet?"

Old lady Fang looked annoyed, but she also knew that the Qin family was telling the truth.

When the villagers heard that they were proposing to Brother Deng, they were not very willing.It's not the boss's own son, but both his father and father have gone. He is a fate, and she would not want to change her.

What a god damn second room.Granny Fang thought bitterly, from the big to the young, everyone taught her like this to be unsatisfactory!

Old lady Fang sat there, her face was green and red.

The Qin family was not in a hurry, and slowly drank water from a bowl.

After a while, Granny Fang slapped her thigh,

"Success, consistent and half consistent."

The Qin family showed a smug smile.

Mrs. Fang asked Duanzhu's family again,

"How long will you have a good day?"

Duan Zhu's family hurriedly said,

"May [-]th, June [-]th, and August [-]th are all the best days for marriage."

The Qin family thought about it,

"Aunt Ji, I think the ninth day of June is pretty good."

Mrs. Fang gave a hard smile, but she felt resentment in her heart.Of course it's fine, if you get married, you can harvest with your family, how bad it is!

But now that the initiative is in other people's hands, no matter how much Granny Fang complains, she can only swallow it in her stomach.

The Qin family won a battle, with a smug smile on their faces,

"Auntie, I'll come over with Duanzhu's family in two days."

When you come here, you will be hired.

Now that the matter has come to this, Granny Fang can only smile and nod,

"Okay, we agreed on a date and let Duanzhu's family come and tell me."

Ji Deng stood beside the chicken coop with a broom, quietly watching them fight for their dowry, and finally seemed to reach a consensus and smiled at each other.

Does this mean that it is about to be settled?Ji Deng's whole heart was raised high for a while.

Seeing the Qin family stand up and make a gesture to leave, Ji Deng was shocked, dropped the broom and ran over.Running in front of the Qin family, Ji Deng swallowed his saliva and said,

"Auntie, when I get married, do I want to bring my sister with me?"

"what?!"

The Qin family who was still smiling just now raised his eyebrows immediately, turned his head and questioned Xing Shi from Duanzhu's family,

"When you told me at the beginning, you didn't say that you had to bring an oil bottle with you."

The voice was high-pitched and high-pitched, and Ji Deng couldn't help shivering.

"Here…"

Duanzhu's family also had a disheveled look on the old lady's face,

"Auntie, you..."

Granny Fang's face twitched a few times, she forced a smile, and stretched out her hand to grab the Ji Lantern.

"The child is just joking. Where is a married man who brings his younger sister to marry? I feel ashamed to say it. The child is reluctant to part with his sister, so I just persuade him."

Ji Deng turned sideways, avoided Granny Fang's outstretched hand, took two steps back, and said hastily as soon as he stood still,

"Auntie, at that time I will work to raise my younger sister, and I won't ask your family to contribute money and effort. I just want to marry her with me, auntie?"

Mrs. Fang scolded sharply,

"Don't shut up and go back to the house, there is no place for you to talk here!"

Turning his head and pulling the Qin family's person, he was about to speak, but was blocked by the Qin family's smirk,

"Okay, I understand what's happening today. Auntie, you should make an agreement at home before you find me from Duanzhu's family. Anyway, my kid is still young, so there's no rush. Let's talk about life. Bar."

As he said that, he quickened his pace and rushed out of Ji's courtyard gate angrily.

Ji Deng raised his hand to stop the Qin family, but he put it down in vain.

Duanzhu's family looked at Qin's in embarrassment, and the old lady on the other side also felt a little resentful.

"Auntie, you are embarrassing me. My reputation is really going to fall on you."

After saying that, he turned his head and went out the door.

Seeing one or two leaving in a huff, Mrs. Fang was so angry that she almost fell on her back.Turning around, I saw Ji Deng lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly became angry, and slapped Ji Deng on the face,

"Get out! Get out of here and kneel! When will you change your mind and get up again!"

Old lady Fang gasped for breath.

Ji Deng didn't say anything, just bent his knees and knelt down on the hard ground, with the scorching sun above his forehead.

The door of the big room opened with a creak, Mrs. Xu came out slowly, helped Mrs. Fang to sit under the shade of a tree,

"Don't worry, let's listen to what the child is thinking."

So he said bitterly to Ji Deng,

"Brother Deng is dissatisfied with this family? Then let's just see each other again. How can you say that you want to marry the younger sister? After the news is over, let someone spread it. How can you think of a good family?"

Mrs. Fang sneered,

"He is afraid that we will starve his sister to death after he gets married! The wolf-hearted thing, eats my clothes and wears mine all these years, and treats us as enemies! Usually he will pretend, but he is also a black heart inside, just follow him That damn father is the same!"

Ji Deng lowered his head and pursed his lips, but said nothing.

When he was thinking about taking his little sister out, he guessed that old lady Fang would be furious.But no matter what, he must be with the little sister.

He never compromises.

Mrs. Fang was really angry, and she said that brother Yan and younger sister Ji were not allowed to bring water and food to brother Deng, and they were not allowed to come close.So when Ji Deng knelt down, he knelt until dusk.

When Ji Jiang Fang came home, as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Brother Deng kneeling upright, with a red slap mark on his face, and he was shocked.

Ji Jiang hurried forward,

"Brother Deng, what's wrong?"

Ji Deng knelt for an entire afternoon, but the water and rice hadn't entered yet, she moved her lips, but made a breathy sound.Ji Deng coughed twice, his throat was very dry,

"I...wanted to bring my younger sister to marry, but the family didn't agree, so...the match didn't work out, and grandma got angry."

Fang was taken aback when he heard this, and couldn't help looking at Brother Deng who was kneeling upright.In my impression, Brother Deng always kept his head down and looked timid. He didn't want to have such an idea, and he really dared to mention it to Granny Fang.

The way Fang looked at Brother Deng suddenly changed.

"You don't want to think about which family members are willing to marry their husbands, and then follow them for nothing. How can you marry when the news spreads. You don't mean to say that because you don't want to marry, do you?"

Ji Deng shook his head.He really thought so.As long as someone is willing to allow him to bring his younger sister through the door, he will agree to marry. It doesn't matter if the bride price is given or not, since it can't be given to him anyway.It doesn't matter if you have the dowry, anyway, Ji Deng saves it by himself.
