The fish feast here really tastes good. After taking two bites, Xining thought for a while: "There's no need to wait for Taohong. Let's take Liulu and go out for a walk."
"Is this okay?" Taohong was a little surprised. Although the leader of the village was as close to her and Liu Lu as sisters and never regarded them as servants, after all, there were so many distinguished people here, and their entourages were all standing behind them.
"Your Highness is here, so there is nothing to worry about." There were so many people standing behind him, which made him uncomfortable: "Why don't you wait outside and let Liu Lu go out to play for a while and come back."
But what Taohong thought was that maybe the leader of the village had something to say, and she couldn't speak easily, so she responded: "Yes! Then I'll wait outside."
After walking out, there were four guards standing outside the door. Going down the stairs, there were also several secret guards dressed as ordinary people sitting in the lobby.
The third prince had just been assassinated, so the palace sent a lot of people to follow him, for fear that the centipede would die and there would be dead soldiers.
Not far outside the door, four followers and Liu Lu were squatting beside the bullock cart.
"Why did you come out?" Liu Lu stood up and looked behind her in confusion. Why didn't the village leader come out?
"The village owner asked us to go out and have a walk on our own." Taohong felt uneasy if she didn't stay with the village owner.
As soon as the four followers heard this, they immediately left together.
When Taohong saw it, she quickly shouted: "You just left like this?"
The four followers stopped, and one of them responded: "Look around, do you still need us?"
Taohong glanced around suspiciously, and sure enough she saw something. There were two people sitting at the roadside stall buying souvenirs. When one of them noticed her gaze coming towards him, he secretly hid the exposed handle of the knife inside his coat; There is also a vegetable vendor on the other side. This vendor is sitting on a small bench, as if waiting for customers, and... all of them have strong muscles, or their hands and feet are a bit unusually thick.
The attendant smiled and said: "There are many masters hidden around here. The third prince and Mu Shizi will definitely not let the village master get into trouble."
"It just so happened that the four heads of the family have said that all those who are single must resolve life-long matters before the Chinese New Year. Xiao Wu happens to have not started a family, and the fifth head of the family has gone to the media house, so we have to help him organize it."
"How about going to the media shop where Wu Dang's family goes."
"Okay, if it doesn't work, just switch to another one and save yourself the trouble. Let's go, let's go!"
Taohong stared at the four followers in stunned silence and walked away laughing.
When her sleeves were pulled, she saw Liu Lu standing next to her, pulling her shyly: "Sister Taohong, I heard that there is a new store opening in front of you, with free food and drinks. I want to go and check it out."
At this time, in Yong'an Mansion, two matchmakers dressed in red and green, with heavy makeup on their faces, were talking about matchmaking around the military advisor, while the other four heads were watching.
"This is from the Zhang family. It is said that she had a hard life. She was a child bride when she was a child. But her husband died of tuberculosis just six months after the marriage. The Zhang family felt that they could not treat her badly and were willing to marry her off as their daughter. The bride price of 200 taels will be used as a dowry. But as I said beforehand, if you are a scholar, twenty taels is enough. This gentleman can tell you a scholar at a glance, and twenty taels is enough!"
The military advisor was still sitting there holding the feather fan, but after hearing this, it was difficult not to roll his eyes.
The third master glared: "Do we seem to be short of money? He is the military advisor of Yong'an County Lord. If we have agreed, we will thank you very much."
"Oh, oh, oh, good!" The matchmaker smiled so hard that her eyes were slitted: "Mr. Wu naturally looks down on people from such a small family. There is another family, a woman from an official family who has just divorced her ex-husband. She has been married for five years. She was still young, so the man beat her and carried three aunts. As a result, none of the three aunts got pregnant, so she divorced her in anger. She was pretty, well-educated, and well-educated..."
The military advisor couldn't stand listening anymore and stood up.
Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the Fourth Master.
The fourth leader spoke aggressively: "As a military advisor, we must do what we say we will do. You can't hold us back!"
"You~" the military advisor choked for a moment. He was almost forty years old, and this was the first time he was forced into marriage like this. Did he push the village leader too hastily, so the retribution fell on him?
Another matchmaker quickly opened the portrait and combined the portrait and introduction to prove that she was very professional.
"This will definitely satisfy Mr. Wu. This is the daughter of the Liu family. She is twenty-six years old. She is a golden girl who has never married."
One look at the portrait, it really looks like a beauty. The four heads are all interested, this is good.
The matchmaker said proudly: "The eldest master of the Liu family is in the fifth rank of the officialdom. This lady of the Liu family has too high standards. She finally fell in love with a girl when she was seventeen years old, but it happened that her mother died of illness. She stayed there for three years, and her marriage was only a matter of time. When I was twenty years old, I finally fell in love with the legitimate son of General Lin’s family, who wanted him even if he was three years older. As a result, Master Lin fell into the lake and died while drinking. "
The second master frowned: "Isn't it very unlucky?"
The matchmaker immediately said: "What the hell, there were so many people asking for marriage afterwards, but the Liu family's wife was not suitable for them. She had to be talented and not only good-looking, she refused to fill a house, let alone be a child." If you drag her, she will become an old girl. Mr. Liu said that she is marrying her daughter with ten miles of red dots."
The military advisor couldn't bear it anymore: "You guys take your time, I have something else to do, so I'll take the first step."
"Hey~" The two matchmakers were standing in front of them. The matchmaker agreed to pay one hundred taels of silver. Although the capital was rich, the average matchmaker's matchmaker only had twenty or thirty taels of silver. The Black Tiger Village made a move. One hundred taels, and there is still a single order. No matter what you say, you can't let this one hundred taels of silver go away.
The fifth master was anxious: "Let me tell you, Commander Wu, what do you want? The second master is about to get married, and you may be the most difficult to handle in the whole village."
The military advisor looked at the second master in surprise, and the second master rubbed his nose and laughed: "I plan to settle the matter when Widow Liu comes."
Wow, are everyone crazy?
The military advisor was angry and funny: "Nonsense!"
The fourth master said earnestly: "Commander Wu, we all know who you are pretending to be. But after so many years, in order for the leader of the village to get married as soon as possible, you should let go and set an example. She will be happy in hell."
The military advisor's face suddenly sank.
When the fifth master saw something was wrong, he quickly said: "It's just the Liu family's wife, she's the one. Now let someone go and have a look. If she is indeed of good character, it's her."
The military advisor's face became more and more ugly: "If I marry you, at worst, I will go back to the mountains and forests, and will not be interested in worldly affairs from now on."
"No!" The Fifth Leader shouted at the top of his lungs, and then he changed his attitude and faced the matchmaker with a bit of embarrassment: "You see if the Liu family likes me, if not, just marry me."
Looking at the slightly nervous Fifth Master, who is nine feet tall, the two matchmakers' mouths twitched: "Hehe, this lady from the Liu family is so delicate that she seems not suitable for this hero."
Normally, if a woman marries this man, she will probably die on the wedding night.
