But this man didn't say anything. He just held the chopsticks proudly, put a mouthful of pickled vegetables in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
One person couldn't wait any longer, so he walked over with a wine flask and poured him a glass of wine: "My dear fellow, don't just tell me half of what you're saying. Tell me what you're hiding!"
"Yes, yes, tell me quickly." People around were eager to listen.
The man picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. The man holding the wine flask quickly refilled his glass before opening his mouth.
"Actually, Miss Zhao San was not kidnapped at all. It was Prince Zhao of Rongguo Palace who was greedy for Miss Zhao San and deliberately spread the news to ruin Miss Zhao San's reputation so that she could marry her smoothly."
There was an uproar all around.
The person at the table just now sneered coldly, with disdain on his face: "How could you ruin the reputation of another girl and then marry her?"
"That's right, then it's not a marriage, but an enmity." Some people will believe everything and some will not.
"If we can't get married, we will make enemies!" The man glanced and raised his head: "Last time, Prince Zhao fell into the water while holding Miss Zhao San, and the maid next to Miss Zhao San was strangled to death in the Rongguo Palace. , put these things together, let’s think about it, is it possible? You must know that Miss Zhao San has been at the Lantern Festival during the Lantern Festival, and many people have seen it.”
This opened the conversation. The Duke of Rongguo had made two limelights in Beijing before, once when he fell into the water with Miss Zhao San, and once when Jingzhao Palace investigated the matter of the maid being strangled to death. Although one of the servants admitted that he was the one who did it, who could say for sure about such a high-profile matter? Anyway, if the servant died, there would be no evidence to prove his death.
The wind started to turn towards Miss Zhao San, and more and more people believed that this was because the Crown Prince of Rongguo was greedy for Miss Zhao San.
The people at the table were anxious: "This is absolutely impossible. The Rongguo Palace is also a duke's palace. How could it be possible to spread rumors and ruin the reputation of the future prince's wife just to ask for marriage?"
Suddenly a voice sounded: "Why is it impossible?"
He must have been in the lounge upstairs when he heard the sound and came down to take a look. The scholar stood upstairs and said, "The ugly hour is about to pass that day. It's almost Yin hour, and I saw the third lady."
Now everyone looked at the scholar. The scholar raised his voice. Because he was excited, he drank two more glasses of wine, with a bit of blush on his face: "The third lady's maid accidentally bumped into me. She argued with me for a while. It was the servant next to the third lady who came over to apologize. He also said that if I was injured, I could go to the Zhenguo General's Mansion. At that time, there was a tall man beside the third lady, who was only a few years older than the third lady. His face is somewhat similar to that of the man from the Zhenguo General's Mansion. Tell me, if you were kidnapped by gangsters, would you still be in the mood to go shopping?"
Yes, after being taken away, I must have been scared to death. Who will continue shopping? What's more, the brother at home is still following him, and he is surrounded by maids and servants. How can he be taken away like this?
This time, most of them were biased towards Miss Zhao San.
"I believe it was Zhao Shizi who spread the rumor!" Another person put forward strong evidence: "Jishitang is next door to my house. Whenever someone gets sick in the Zhenguo General's Mansion, they go there to ask for a doctor. That day, the doctor from Jishitang came to see a doctor and took the Zhenguo General with him. The boy from the General's Mansion came back to get some medicine. I got closer out of curiosity and heard the boy asking the doctor how many drinks he wanted and if he could add ginseng. The doctor said that it was an ordinary cold, and that the third lady was weak, and she didn't seem to be. It’s considered serious. Adding ginseng to everything may not be good, so drink a second dose first and see.”
Now everyone turned to Miss Zhao San. Many people even scolded Duke Rongguo with righteous indignation. He was extremely shameless and shameless. It would be really unlucky for that girl to marry such a family. I have been suffering from bloody mold for eight lifetimes.
Now there was no way to turn the situation around... The person who originally raised the topic took out a few large coins from his pocket and placed them on the table. He stood up and walked out.
And in the corner of the store, there were four people sitting, wearing bamboo hats, normally dressed for delivering goods. It looked like they were just stopping for a quick meal after delivering the goods.
One of them raised his head, revealing a pair of piercing eyes from under his bamboo hat, looking at the man who was about to walk out of the store.
He signaled with his eyes, and the three people next to him stood up and followed them silently as little as possible to attract attention...
In the east and west wing of the city, by the Zhouqiao Bridge on Qianhuamen Street, Matchmaker Feng had just finished running a house and walked to the bun shop when she realized she was hungry. Even if you go to someone's house to talk about marriage, you will often prepare tea, but you may not bring snacks. Some people may hear this as being insincere, and even if you serve tea, they will take it away.
Matchmaker Feng then walked in, patted the long wooden bench with the red hikerchief in her hand, wiped away the ashes, and then sat down: "Shunzi, mother, here are two mutton buns."
"Hey, it's here!" Shunzi's mother, Dongmei's mother, immediately opened the steamer, took out two steaming mutton buns, added a vegetable bun, and brought them over.
Because we are old acquaintances and visit frequently, I bought two and got one free.
Seeing that it was still the same, Matchmaker Feng happily picked up a meat bun and started eating it.
It was almost past lunch time, and Shunzi's mother was not too busy, so she sat down next to her and asked, "Mr. Feng, how many other companies did you talk to today?"
Matchmaker Feng blew the hot air from the buns, took a bite, and chewed until the black matchmaker mole on the edge of her mouth turned up. We went to the Zhenguo General’s Mansion where your daughter worked as an errand.”
"Really?" As long as it has something to do with my daughter, Shunzi Niang wants to know more: "Who are you talking about getting married to?"
"It's the third young master and the third young lady. Tsk tsk, don't tell me, the people in the Zhenguo General's Mansion are just different. The third young master is very talented, and the third young lady is as beautiful as a flower. I, Matchmaker Feng, have never seen anyone like this before. What’s more, the General’s Mansion invited the young lady to come out and have a face-to-face meeting. I was so dazzled by the sight that I didn’t even come back to my senses for a long time.”
The media must choose someone with a similar family background and matching appearance. If you are willing to let the matchmaker arrange the marriage, if the matchmaker asks, someone will come out to take a look, so that the matchmaker can know.
Matchmaker Feng would definitely have to talk a lot about being able to secure a place in a Duke's palace like Zhenguo General's Palace.
And the people around, even if they were not eating steamed buns but just passing by, stopped and refused to leave.
Shunzi Niang was a little worried: "Will the third lady marry to the Duke of Rongguo?" If so, the reputation of the Duke of Rongguo is not very good at present, and her daughter is most likely to be a dowry girl, so then We must consider redeeming our daughter.
"Tch, how can that be possible!" In addition to being a matchmaker, Matchmaker Feng's most powerful thing is that she has a loud voice and a clever mouth. She can also speak very fast. If she meets a deaf grandpa, I guarantee that she can hear clearly: "There is such a rumor outside. This big thing, Mrs. Zhao suspected that Duke Rongguo had done it, and she was so angry that she was half dead. The third young master said angrily that even if he couldn't marry, he would not marry Duke Rongguo!"
"Otherwise, this noble lady, who has not yet had haircuts, is so beautiful, and her wealth and status are so high, and the men in the capital are not allowed to choose, so why bother to look for her in such a hurry?"
"Just because I'm afraid that thieves will take notice of me, I should quickly find a good family and stop having any ulterior motives!"
