Matchmaker's prose
The granddaddy of matchmaker's line is probably an old man, doing a beautiful thing of a thousand-mile marriage. In rural areas, there are naturally few people who know Yue Lao and many people who know the matchmaker, because what Yue Lao does is more mysterious and romantic, which is far less than the result of western matchmakers' guidance. Didn't Mr. Cao say that "all things are learned, and people's understanding is an article"? Therefore, the business of matchmaker is not something that ordinary people can do. Like a street fortune teller, you need to have rich life experience, be able to stimulate your tongue like a spring, observe what you say and go with the flow in order to achieve this beautiful marriage.
The importance of marriage can be seen from a proverb in the village that it is better to dig ten graves than tear down a marriage. The matchmaker plays a small role, continuing the incense and carrying on the family line; Generally speaking, the country is progressing and the society is harmonious. However, if you think that you can be a matchmaker with glib words and clever words, then you underestimate the profession of matchmaker. Just like a graduate student writing a thesis, a matchmaker has to do his homework. For example, matchmaker A counts how many unmarried men and women and widows there are in Village A, and records everyone's family status, temperament, health status and even whether there are hidden diseases in detail. From point to surface, matchmaker B, matchmaker C and matchmaker D in the neighboring village have detailed first-hand information.
Don't think that the matchmaker lost his job because of frequent contact in modern society. You will know from blind dates on TV that people in cities are single and divorce far more than people in rural areas. The same is true in rural areas. There are always some wooden men and women who have puppy love, but they just can't express themselves. At this time, it shows the importance of the matchmaker.
For example, during this time, the neighbor Ersao was very anxious. Seeing his son's strong playmates get married one by one, and his parents are holding their 40-year-old grandchildren, it's a struggle in Ersao's heart. In desperation, the matchmaker came to help the poor. After understanding the idea of the second sister-in-law, the business of four matchmakers, A, B, C and D, officially started.
Find a good candidate, first negotiate with yisow, and finally set the matchmaking service fee of 500 yuan per person, plus two cigarettes. This charging standard also fluctuates according to the difficulty of matchmaking. Is it a market economy? The grade of cigarettes need not be too high, just one above 50 yuan. In order to have grandchildren early, yisow naturally doesn't care about this little money. Now she is ready to answer. Matchmakers a and b take care of the man, and matchmakers c and d take care of the woman. They acted independently to fix the date of the meeting. In rural areas, it is called "relative phase" or "object", that is, both men and women take their family members to inspect each other. As for the family members of both men and women asking each other about the details of each other's families, I won't go into details.
On the date of a party in a town, both men and women and their families met and then discussed it separately. The matchmaker shuttled back and forth, and both men and women were satisfied, so they took a walk on the street. The matchmaker also lost no time to guide the boy, buy something for the girl, communicate well and so on. Then, find the man's parents, whether it's ok or not, ask for two cigarettes first, and the matchmaker will divide them.
After dating for a period of time, the feelings are getting deeper and deeper, and the engagement ceremony is about to be held. At the same time, I also thank the matchmaker (that is, thank the matchmaker), which also shows that it is time for the matchmaker to collect money. Of course, there are some requirements for engagement. The matchmaker wants mediation. The matchmaker naturally means that the earlier the betrothal, the better, so as not to change with the passage of time, and let the money at hand hit Shui Piao. The man hired a car to pick up the woman, and both men and women and the man's elders accompanied the matchmaker to eat and drink. During the dinner, the man gave the woman 1 1000 yuan (meaning one in a million), as well as three gold (rings, earrings and necklaces) and the key to the electric bicycle. This money can also be regarded as a disguised deposit. In the future, if the man goes back on his word, the property will belong to the woman. Of course, the betrothal market is different, and as far as rural areas are concerned, it is roughly the same.
After a big meal, the matchmaker picks up their fair share, even if they are successful. Whether men and women will be separated in the future has nothing to do with the matchmaker.
