Two days later, Chen Mancang brought a stranger to his home.
"Brother Hero, this is Master Luo who sent us the last batch of relief food. He said he has something to ask you."
Xu Yin invited people to sit in the room.
Luo Mingliang took a look at the simple but warm cabin, stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect that my little brother is not only brave and resourceful, but also knows how to live. He is a good son who can manage the family and live a good life!"
Xu Yin: "..."
Is this a compliment or a criticism?
"Haha! Luo got straight to the point. It's like this. Our wife heard that the heroic brother was not yet married, so she sent me to come and make peace. My wife's niece is already in her hair. If my brother is interested, we can send a matchmaker to our door in the near future to negotiate a marriage. Madam wants you to escape here, so she will help you prepare the betrothal gifts and other items."
Xu Yin was dumbfounded.
Did she understand what she meant by picking her ears?
The county magistrate's wife wants to betroth her natal niece to her?
Chen Mancang on the side couldn't help but be happy for her: "No wonder I went up the mountain this morning and heard the chirping of magpies. I bet it was a happy event coming to our heroic brothers!"
Xu Yin: "..."
Where did the magpie come from in Chaishan! You have caught all the sparrows!
Mother! Is it too late for her to change back to women's clothing and remove her [Universal Voice Actor]?
"Brother Hero? Brother Hero?"
Xu Yin was called back to her senses. She sighed in her heart and lied: "Thanks to Madam for looking up to me, but to be honest with you two, I have already been engaged in my hometown."
"Engaged?"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Luo felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and he might not be able to complete the task entrusted to him by his wife.
"Is it possible that the future in-laws of Brother Hero are not from Tongxing Mansion?"
"He is from Tongxing Mansion."
"Then why don't we see you all fleeing the famine together? Or is it that your in-law's family has never been affected by the disaster? Then we should take our heroic brothers over."
Xu Yin: "..."
She knew that telling a lie would require countless lies to cover up, and her head was about to explode.
"Brother? Are there guests at home?"
Erlang came back from the door holding his treasure, the self-made old Huangli. When he saw a stranger, he led his third sister and stood beside Xu Yin obediently.
Xu Yin took this opportunity to think of an excuse and said to Master Luo: "At that time, there was chaos in the city and outside the city, and then the city gate was closed. I tried every means but failed to get in touch with them, so I had to take my younger brothers and sisters to the east. Find shelter in Xuanfu. Erlang and Sanmei are young and cannot live without people around them. We can only wait for my eldest brother to come back from Beiguan in the next year to find them."
After finishing speaking, before Master Luo could speak, he added: "I appreciate Madam's good intentions, but my parents have ordered the matchmaker to tell me, and the elders in the family have decided on the marriage, so I have to abide by it, so I have troubled you to make this trip in vain." "
When it came to this matter, Master Luo knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he said goodbye after a few words.
Before leaving, he accidentally saw the old almanac in Erlang's hand, and took it over to look at it curiously.
At this sight, I was fascinated.
When he learned that Xu Yin had made it himself, he asked her to borrow it.
Erlang: "..."
Come back - that's mine! ! !
But that was Master.
In his opinion, the people in the yamen were all high-ranking officials, and he did not dare to be presumptuous.
"Woooooooo..."
After the master and others left, he squatted on the ground and cried while wiping his tears.
Xu Yin suppressed laughter.
My heart says so! I asked you to keep it at home and read one page every morning when you were learning to read, but then you ran around with it, and now someone might have robbed it.
But the little guy was sad, so she didn't add insult to injury.
That night, I made his favorite sauce-based fried eggs, and promised to help him make another one when I was free, which made the kid laugh so hard.
"Brother Hero!"
Shi Fengnian came to the door in a hurry after dinner, "Are you engaged in your hometown?"
"..." This matter can't be revealed, right?
"Why do you ask?"
"Uncle Mancang came back and said that your parents promised you a marriage when they were still alive? But even though they are in Tongxing Fucheng, they didn't take you three brothers and sisters over. It's obvious that they are bullying others too much! It's okay not to want such a family!"
Xu Yin: Daqing is here to fight for herself.
Suddenly he couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't listen to the wind and it will be the rain."
"Isn't it? According to me, hero, you are young and promising, wise and courageous. As long as you are willing, there are many girls who are willing to marry you as your wife. If you look down on other people's in-laws, you don't want to!"
"Yes, yes." Xu Yin nodded perfunctorily along with his words.
"You think so too? Actually...actually..." Shi Fengnian scratched his head, "My cousin...is in love with you..."
"Pfft-cough cough cough cough!"
Xu Yin choked on her tea.
Erlang really wanted to push Shi Fengnian out of the house. He stamped his feet angrily: "Brother Fengnian, don't talk nonsense. My brother is married."
"Okay, okay, I didn't know that before. Not only my cousin, but many of our girls like you, Hero Brother! As soon as the news of your marriage spread, my mother said that those girls hid under the covers and cried... "
"..."
Will I have to avoid women of the same age when I go out from now on?
Yaoshou!
This was something she never expected.
There is something even more unexpected...
The next day, the wife of the village chief of Ping'ao Village came to Xu Yin's door with a gift in both hands to kiss her. She was talking about her niece.
Xu Yin almost wanted to kneel down to her: Please let her go!
She regretted disguising herself as a man.
In this world, it’s not easy to be a woman, and it’s not easy to be a man either!
Mrs. Li Chang was equally surprised and regretful when she heard that she was getting married in her hometown.
"My benefactor, this is such a pity! I thought I could become a family with my benefactor, and we could come and go often in the future!"
"It's okay, it's okay. Even if we can't be a family, we can still come and go often." Xu Yin gritted her teeth and socialized.
Although the marriage was not consummated, it did not prevent Mrs. Li Chang from liking Xu Yin, and she also saved her little grandson, so she refused to take the gift back, and would fall out if she asked her to take it back.
Xu Yin: "..."
Could it be that you learned this trick from yourself?
Anyway, during this time, the house was really busy.
It would be nice if I didn't come here to kiss her.
"Brother Hero, why do you think you are so popular? I have reached the age of marrying a wife, so why haven't I seen any matchmakers?" Shi Fengnian complained to her depressedly.
Erlang was a brat and made a face at him: "Because my brother is handsome, smart, and a martial arts master!"
"..." Shi Fengnian felt like he had been shot countless times in his knees.
Let’s talk about the county magistrate. His original impression of Xu Yin was that of a famine-stricken refugee with great strength and some knowledge of medicine. Now, he has been promoted to a capable person worthy of friendship.
Wen Neng can draw an almanac containing many contents, and Gong Neng can build a water tanker that can run water automatically without manpower. Is this not talent?
The county magistrate, who was thirsty for talents, tried to recruit her to his side more than once.
With such a capable person at your side, why worry about not having a chance to rise to the top?
Unfortunately, Xu Yingxiong's ambition was not to seek an official position, but to farm.
Thinking of what Xu Yin said at the time, "Farming is good," the county magistrate couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Many elders who have had a bumpy journey into the world may have the desire to live in seclusion, but how come Xu Yingxiong, a young descendant, is so indifferent to fame and wealth? What a weirdo!
