Liu Deng also didn't expect that these stupid young men would reveal their identities just like that, but now that they've been revealed, there's nothing to hide.
"Yes, it's me! I don't know, old man, what do you think of me being the matchmaker?"
Liu Deng had a faint smile on his face. He had already taken action in person. Is it possible that this marriage can still run away?
Liu Deng's generosity not only frightened Zhu Laoqi, but even Ye Yijian was shocked and speechless.
Just what Liu Deng rewarded today would be enough for the couple to sit back and eat for a lifetime or ten lifetimes.
"Big, big, big, big king..."
Zhu Laoqi knelt down on the ground with a plop. Only then did Matchmaker Wang next to her react. She quickly knelt down on the ground and just kept kowtowing. She didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore at this time.
Poor Feng Shuban outside, now he has turned into a kowtow-headed worm, and he is really completely frightened.
Thinking about what he just said, he really wanted to hit him to death.
Seeing this guy's submissive look, Shunzi's face was full of contempt.
If I had known it now, why bother then!
If he hadn't just stepped forward and slapped him twice, this bastard might have said something unpleasant.
"Okay, old man, I'm here to propose marriage, so you should show your support! You can't just watch these two little girls being separated after birth, right?"
Liu Deng stepped forward and helped Zhu Laoqi up, and then said seriously.
"Old, old, old man is willing!"
The corners of Zhu Laoqi's mouth kept twitching, and after a long time, he finally managed to squeeze out such a sentence.
"That's very good. This is the marriage certificate prepared by this king. If you have no objection, just sign it and put your signature on it. How about that?"
As Liu Deng spoke, he once again took out a marriage document that he had prepared long ago from his sleeve.
Zhu Laoqi took it with trembling hands, suddenly bit his thumb, and then pressed a bloody fingerprint on it.
Seeing his fierce look, Liu Deng felt a toothache.
Isn't it just a signature and a pledge? As for biting off your fingers to do this?
But no matter what, after he pressed this fingerprint, the marriage was completed.
Someone immediately brought the betrothal gift, and the betrothal gift alone was enough to make Zhu Laoqi tremble all over.
This is not only because he is greedy for money, but also because the social atmosphere is indeed like this. As the saying goes, the king of Chu has a thin waist and many harems starve to death.
As the national power of the Han Dynasty gradually recovered, the betrothal gifts used by the upper-class nobles when they got married became thicker and thicker.
Although in most cases, the betrothal gift will be returned to the man intact or even doubled.
However, the heavier the betrothal gift given by the man, the better the woman's face will be.
This trend became more and more intense, and eventually it naturally affected the people.
Even in a year like this, there is still a food shortage in Jinyang City, and the betrothal gift sent by the Wang family has reached as many as 30 coins!
Thirty guan may sound inconspicuous, but for ordinary farmers, this is really a huge amount of money.
It is almost equivalent to the entire income that Zhu Laoqi's family could save without eating or drinking for three to five years.
"Old man, if this is according to the rules, shouldn't you let us have a meal?"
Seeing that the matter was done, Liu Deng felt much more relaxed and looked at Zhu Laoqi with a big smile.
"I-I'll get ready right now!"
Only then did Zhu Laoqi realize that according to the rules, the marriage contract had been finalized at this time, and the two families should really thank Liu Deng for being the matchmaker.
Then, you should also prepare a generous thank you gift for the matchmaker!
"Then I'm not polite, I haven't had farm food for a long time!"
Liu Deng also said with great fun.
"Your Majesty, sit down for a moment, and the old man will prepare now! Erya, Erya!"
Zhu Laoqi greeted his daughter while talking, and hurried out to prepare wine and dinner.
Through the gap in the window, Liu Deng saw a woman coming out of the west room.
She is slender and has an oval face. Compared with the maids in the palace, although she is slightly inferior, she can still be regarded as a beauty.
"You're lucky, she looks like this. She should be a good child. Find someone to set a date for you later. If you work harder, you might be able to drink your son's full moon wine next year!"
Zhu Laoqi went out, and only Liu Deng, Ye Yijian, and Matchmaker Wang were kneeling on the ground.
Matchmaker Wang huddled in the corner, listening to Liu Deng and Ye Yijian making such jokes, which almost frightened her to death.
If the relationship was not extremely close, how could the king say such a thing?
At this time, she was really scared. This was why she had known it now, why did she do it in the first place.
"How can it be so fast..."
Ye Yijian blushed and murmured softly.
"You should get up first. I'm too lazy to argue with you on today's big day, but you know what you can and can't say when you go back, right?"
As soon as Liu Deng turned around, he saw the matchmaker Wang still kneeling in the corner, frowning and saying.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Matchmaker Wang felt as if she had been granted amnesty. She quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"Go away! Go away!"
No matter what, today is a happy day. Wouldn't it make yourself uncomfortable to argue with such a stupid woman?
Matchmaker Wang quickly stood up and disappeared in a flash. Secretary Feng, who was kneeling in the courtyard, felt really mixed emotions when he saw Matchmaker Wang just disappearing.
It was also because he was greedy and coveted the last thank you gift prepared by the two families. He originally thought that he could come here to have a cup of tea and a meal and get a few bucks for free.
But who knew that this cheap guy almost sent him to hell.
This is really a small gain and a big loss. But now, no matter how much he regrets it, there is no regret medicine in this world.
The father and daughter of the Zhu family went to battle together. It was not a long time, so they really prepared a large table of wine and dinner.
Although compared to the food in the palace, it is indeed a bit rough.
However, farmhouses always have a farmhouse flavor, and Liu Deng certainly wouldn't mind.
"Your Majesty, these dishes were prepared by my daughter. Although they are a bit crude, please forgive me..."
When the last dish was placed on the table, Zhu Laoqi hurried forward and poured a glass of wine for Liu Deng. He also picked up a glass of wine and said with trembling hands.
"Uncle Zhu, if you say that, then I really think our General Ye is blessed!"
Although it was just a light wine brewed by a farmer, Liu Deng didn't mind it at all and directly picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp.
