"Let me help Miss Three figure it out?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed dumbly: "What kind of joke are you talking about?" I'll take care of this kind of thing. I'm just a small hospital manager, when will it be my turn to help the young masters and young ladies solve the marriage problem? I can only manage the small things in the hospital, and I can't manage such big things. ”

"But, didn't you help the second young master solve the county master? That's a big deal, it's a lot more problematic than marriage, you can do it in two or three clicks, and our sisters in the inner courtyard say that you are a good man...... No, just the two who were fighting just now, one of them likes you very much, saying that you don't want to marry. Purple Heart pouted and said very seriously: "If you guess which one likes you, I'll help you be a matchmaker." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't cry or laugh for a while, the little girl spoke, but she was out of tune, talking about this for a while, talking about that for a while, the two things were mixed and entangled, and she didn't even know which one to answer in advance.

Leave the two maids alone in advance! He thought to himself, if I want to sabotage this marriage, what angle should I start? The best way is to spread the news that the Ma family and the shirt family have no friendship, then the Chengcheng Zhang family should immediately turn their faces, not only will they not continue to marry, but they may also attack the Ma family again...... Obviously, this is not in the interests of the Ma family.

If he does something that is not in line with Ma Jialigai and is exposed, there will be no place in the Ma family!

This is also not in Zhu Yuanzhang's interests.

He only had a little calculation in his heart, so he dispelled the idea of helping the third lady, and said in a low voice: "I can't help you in this matter, woman, at this age, it is inevitable that you will get married, you can hide from this time, and you can't hide from the next time, is it possible that the third miss can live in this Ma family compound for a lifetime?" She either married to the Zhang family in Chengcheng or married to the Chang family in Pucheng...... There is no difference between marrying early and marrying late, listen to my advice, don't toss! ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left, took two steps, and Zixincai pulled his sleeve behind his back: "Really don't help?" The third lady is very good to you, and the day after you became the steward, she asked me to make clothes for you. You came back from the lawsuit, and the third lady asked me to send you a few sets of clothes...... Have you forgotten everything? ”

"Miss Xie San's care, but one yard to one yard." Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "I can't do anything about marriage." ”

"Do you blame the third lady for not allowing the maids to come to you in the first place?" Zixincai was anxious: "You can't blame the third miss for that incident, it's you who are arrogant and can't look down on everyone, the sisters feel that you are not interested in them, and they secretly cry when they go back to the inner courtyard...... Don't hold a grudge against her for this. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't cry or laugh, what is this going on? I am the emperor who looks at the world, and I will fight with women for this trivial matter of sesame mung beans? He underestimated people. He flicked his sleeve slightly, broke free of Purple Heart's hand, and walked away.

－－－－－－－－－

The marriage between the Ma family and the Zhang family went very smoothly...... The matchmaker sent by the Zhang family put the eight characters together and looked at them casually, and immediately said that the third lady and the young master of the Zhang family were a perfect match, and the wife had the appearance of a prosperous husband, and the future would be full of children and grandchildren, which was unlimited. After the matchmaker sent to Chengcheng by the Ma family came back, she also said that the second young master and Miss Zhang are also a perfect match, and his wife has the appearance of a prosperous husband, and he will have children and grandchildren in the future.

Everyone understands what the matchmaker is talking about, and they know it. Since they are determined to promote this marriage, they naturally have no doubts, and both parties want to solve it quickly, so the process goes extremely fast.

After the "proposal" is the "marriage" link, the average family has to discuss the marriage first, starting from the "small gift", that is, the two sides bargain for the dowry. The rich family is married, the dowry is indispensable, generally "four magenta" or "six magenta" (four to six satin clothing), two gold rings, a pair of gold earrings, thirty-six small gifts, sixty-four middle gifts, one hundred and two silver gifts; Food, the number of "sixty-four", that is, Baotou sixty-four pairs, oil bags sixty-four, hemp cakes, etc., there are still two to eight quintals of old wine, so the life of the south has the name of "old wine".

These things were originally meant to be sat down and talked about slowly, and if the dowry was less, the party marrying the girl would feel embarrassed. But now both parties don't care about this little thing, anyway, I'm going to marry one back, marry another one, dowry or something, just prepare two copies of the same one, you give it to me, I give it to you, and after a turn, the thing comes back.

After the marriage, there is only one link left to get married...... It stands to reason that this link should be the most lively, the most important, get a big sedan chair, blow and blow, and send your daughter to the other party's door all the way. But the two families chose to keep a low profile in this matter at the same time.

The reason is very simple, the Zhang family and the Ma family are too far apart, the Zhang family is in Chengcheng * County, the Ma family is in Baishui * County, the official road between the two counties is more than 70 miles, if you let the sedan chair team blow and blow, twist Yangge and walk 70 miles to send the girl over, you can't walk in three days, and the trumpeters, gongs, drums, and Yangge twisters will first have to die of exhaustion.

Moreover, the roads between the two counties are not smooth. Now the year is not good, the victims are everywhere, and the vicinity of the county seat is quite peaceful, but in the mountains and forests a little farther away from the county seat, there are already a lot of rogues and bandits. The greeting procession walked slowly and carried a large amount of dowry, which was a good target for robbery. Therefore, you must not be high-profile along the way, otherwise it will be a small matter if you lose the bride price, and if you lose your daughter, it will be a big matter.

In the end, the two families discussed it and decided not to use a large sedan chair to welcome relatives, but to use a black carriage with dozens of powerful family guards to send their daughters to each other's county first, find an inn in the county town for a day or two, and then let the sedan chair go to the inn to greet relatives, so that on the one hand, you can take into account the number of etiquette, on the other hand, you can avoid encountering danger on the road.

The time of marriage is set on March 22, which is said to be an auspicious day!

March 19th, early in the morning!

Zhu Yuanzhang got up early in the morning, washed his face, tied his hair at the back of his head, put on a new cotton clothes, put on thick-soled cloth shoes, and his whole body was refreshed, and then hung a Pu knife on his waist.

As soon as he walked out, he saw that Baishui Wang Er was already waiting for him at the gate of the side courtyard, and today's Wang Er was also wearing a brand-new cotton coat and carrying a whistle stick in his hand, and the whole person looked like an iron tower.

The two looked at each other and smiled, and walked towards the gate of the front yard, only to see a large group of people standing at the gate of the front yard, and in the middle of the crowd were fifteen knifemen leading horses. The eldest young master has always been careful and prudent, and he arranged all the fifteen swordsmen under him in the send-off team, these swordsmen have a fierce expression and extraordinary momentum, which has the effect of deterring the younger generation.

In addition, there are ten henchmen who are also accompanied by them, these family members are wearing green coats and hats, carrying a whistle stick in their hands, and they are also quite energetic. There were also a dozen porters behind them, and each porter had a burden beside him, and a rattan box at each end of the burden, which contained the dowry of the third lady.

There were dozens of boxes of dowries in large bags and small bags, gold, silver and satin stepping beds, there was really everything. The women of the Ming Dynasty got married, if the dowry was too small, it would be a shame, and the status in the husband's family would be lower, so the dowry prepared by the Ma family was quite rich, presumably the daughter of the Zhang family is now also carrying a large bag and a small box, and is preparing to travel under the protection of the family nursing home.

Everyone waited at the gate of the compound for a while, and a black carriage drove out of the door, and the one who drove the car was actually the personal bodyguard of the eldest young master, who claimed to have killed twenty-seven people, it seems that the eldest young master sent fifteen swordsmen and felt unsafe, and even his own bodyguards came in.

The bodyguard smiled at the people waiting at the door: "Let's go, you can go." ”

"Where's the third lady?" Someone asked.

"In the carriage behind me." The bodyguard said in a low voice: "I just said goodbye to the old man and the young master, and I am not in a good mood, maybe I am crying." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the little face of Purple Heart, which was obviously stained with tears, and she leaned on the window of the carriage and scolded: "Who is crying? The young lady didn't cry at all! You're crying...... Woo ...... "She is the personal maid of the third lady, this kind of personal maid usually has to marry with the young lady when she gets married, and the final ending is probably to become the master's roommate, and after a few years, she will also have the opportunity to be raised into a concubine, and this life is like this, and there can be no better ending waiting for her."

The little girl's crying and scolding made the bodyguard shrug his shoulders, but he was not afraid of purple heart, don't look at him now in charge of catching up with the car, it really has to be compared to his status, he is much higher than purple heart, but he is too lazy to worry about women.

At this time, a soft sigh came from the carriage, and a woman's voice whispered, "Purple heart, come back...... Don't be ashamed, we women are such a fate...... Fang Guard, I'm sorry for your trouble, please go. ”

This is the first time Zhu Yuanzhang has heard the voice of the third young sister, and when he heard it, he felt soft and gentle, and very comfortable. Although her tone was a little depressed, she did not cry, not crying like ordinary women when they got married, which made her softness and strength added.

The bodyguard, that is, the Fang guard, shouted: "Okay, let's go!" ”

Fifteen swordsmen turned on their horses together, guarding the black carriage in the middle, just as they usually guard the eldest young master. Wang Er and Zhu Yuanzhang took the ten family members, beckoned the porters to take up their luggage, and followed them behind the car.

The black carriage moved slowly, and the team moved forward.

While driving the car, the Fang guard noticed Zhu Yuanzhang in the porter team behind, he remembered the conversation at the door of the hall last time, and couldn't help but turn around and say, "Huh? Aren't you the butler of the partial hospital, Zhu Ba? You're going to come with you this time? ”

Zhu Ba nodded: "The eldest young master said that I am a person who can fight, let me follow, and if something happens, I can give Fang Escort a hand." ”

Guarding Fang didn't know why, he felt a little unhappy with Zhu Ba, he glanced at his mouth and said, "Countryman, what can you do for us?" Don't think that if you can beat a few country guys, you can be considered a master. Take care of the porter team in the back for me, and don't come and make trouble for us. ”

The White Water King II was furious and took a step forward in advance. Zhu Yuanzhang gently pulled him and said with a smile: "Second brother Wang, don't be like him." ”
