There was an adult in Zhaocun who retired in his later years and wanted to marry Cai Jiao. Lu, the matchmaker, thought that the Zhao family was not only rich, but also had relatives in the imperial palace, so he betrothed his daughter to Zhao Gongzi and took 1,200 pieces of silver.
Soon, a son of the Shenyang family asked for relatives. Matchmaker Lu Yi inquired that Shen Fu was not only rich, but also an official in the DPRK. If you climb this relative, you can enjoy great happiness immediately, so you betrothed your daughter to Shen Gongzi and received him two thousand two hundred pieces of silver.
After a while, another Xu Gongzi hired someone to be a matchmaker and wanted to marry Cai Jiao. Matchmaker Lu thought Master Xu was a local official and Taiwan Province's adult, and even the magistrate bowed his head when he saw me. So he betrothed his daughter to Xu Gongzi and got three thousand two hundred pieces of silver.
It is unreasonable for a woman to bring up three families. However, the matchmaker Lu thinks that there are local governments and Taiwan Province adults as backers, so what are you afraid of?
On the wedding day, all three sedan chairs came to pick up the bride. There was only one corner, and three families quarreled, so they sued the government. The magistrate of a county saw that these three families were not easy to offend, and the case was really difficult to judge, so he had to ask the touts. Shaoxing touts came up with a coup for the county magistrate and sentenced the case.
May I ask, has he come up with any clever plans?
[A: The next day, the county magistrate said: "The matchmaker Lu betrothed a daughter to your three sons, and the three of you refused to give each other, so the county had to settle it fairly. According to the opinions of the county, what do you think? "
Three childe a listen to all blindsided. But the most urgent thing is the matchmaker Lu, who quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Adults are merciful, adults are merciful."
Zhao Gongzi said: "This is cruel; I take the initiative to give up and don't want it. "
The county magistrate said, "Well, Zhao Gongzi is very nice. Then, divide Cai Jiao in two. The two sons negotiated, who took the upper body and who took half? "
Xu and Shen can't decide for a while. At this time, Cai Jiao immediately stood beside Zhao Gongzi and said, "I am willing to give my life to Zhao Gongzi and ask my master to be the master."
The magistrate asked the matchmaker Lu again, "Do you agree?"
When matchmaker Lu came, she had to say, "I want to return the bride price of Xu and Shen, marry my daughter to Zhao Gongzi, and ask my master to make the decision."
The county magistrate said, "Parents should be the masters of marriage. In this case, the official sentenced Cai Jiao to be Zhao's daughter-in-law. However, it is illegal for the matchmaker Lu to make three promises for a woman, so he has to drag me into the water and shoulder the heavy responsibility for the twenty boards. " ]
