The master understood, and made an invitation to the man in the green robe, and the two followed behind.

Looking at their backs, Takako and the others glanced at each other.

"Who's that man?" Someone asked, looking at the man walking with the master.

Everyone shook their heads, not recognizing, and at this time, a salt ding next to him suddenly slapped his head.

"Oh, that's the housekeeper of the old man's house in the city!" He said as if he remembered something.

Xiucai For these white people who don't know a few big characters, they are all Wenqu stars in the sky, they don't know how many Xiucai there are in Xie County, but there is only one Xiucai who can be called the master, this Xiucai is surnamed Meng, according to him, he claims to be a descendant of Mencius, and he is the only Xiucai in Xie County who leads six buckets of rice.

As for what this is, everyone doesn't know, but it is enough to know that there is only such a person in the county who can receive it, which is enough to show the transcendent status of this talented man.

"How big an official is Master Xiucai?" A man was stunned and asked, "Better than our Erlang....oops..."

When he blurted out this title, someone kicked him hard behind him, this is the master repeatedly explained to no avail, by the noble son came up with the idea, everyone supervises each other, whoever wants to miss, others can kick him, this trick is very effective, from the initial from time to time to sound the oops can only be heard once in a while now.

“… Is it bigger than us? The man changed his words and asked.

"What do you know, let's count us as soldiers, then the adult is the military attaché, the master Xiucai is not an official, if he is an official, then he is a civil official such as the county master, there is no comparison..."

These salts were originally military households separated from the guard. Also known as the battalion soldiers, this salt patrol division is also a guard in terms of name, so the officials here are naturally military attachés.

At this time, in the eyes of civil officials, the military attache was naturally vulgar and ignorant, and his status was much worse, not to mention that this salt inspection was still a deputy, and he was not in the stream among military attachés.

Guizi and the others seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and looked at it again. Lu Yan and the three of them had already entered the house and could not be seen.

Lu Yan asked them to do whatever they wanted, and as for why they did what they did and what the consequences were, they never considered it, this was a habit that slowly formed when Lu Yan first stood up and led them into the stockade of another group of smugglers. So everyone stopped thinking about it and dispersed.

Lu Yan sat on the chair, the beads of sweat on his face had faded. His face became more and more terrifying, and he listened to the man in front of him explain the matter slowly.

"....My lord went personally, but.." The man bowed slightly, his voice low and soothing. With the kind of Sven atmosphere and faint pride that comes from the scholarly mansion, "There is a negative trust...."

Lu Yan kept his face calm and just didn't speak. The master stood aside with a somewhat unnatural expression, this idea was proposed by him, and now he has not got the desired result, and he is also very worried in his heart.

That day, he heard that Lu Yan was going to propose the daughter of the prophet's county family, and he immediately dispelled the idea of inviting a matchmaker.

"If it was said that in the past, this Liu Zhixian was still in power, or he was not in office but was not convicted, then he was sent..."

Fortunately, Lu Yan's mind was not here. So the master hurriedly slid his tongue over this sentence, and continued, "But now their family is a criminal officer." The identity of this girl is completely different, so let's ask a respected person to say goodbye. Make sure that the family rejoices in what they promised..."

This made Lu Yan very happy, and that night he and he pulled the people who can be called highly respected in the county, and finally took a fancy to this Xiucai master, the master felt that the Xiucai master would not care about the little things that the woman cared about, but he didn't dare to tell Lu Yan, and he knew that it was useless to say it, this young reckless adult, who seemed to be silent, but he was a very thoughtful person.

If you annoy Lu Yan, then the unlucky one is yourself, if you annoy the Xiucai master, then the unlucky one is the Xiucai master, in line with the principle that the dead friend does not die and the poor one, the master Ma Li personally invited the Xiucai master to be a matchmaker.

Unexpectedly, Master Xiucai agreed, and went to Liu Meibao's house the next day, and he went in person, which surprised the master.

It's just that I didn't expect that Liu Meibao's elder Song Sanniang didn't give face to Master Xiucai at all, and refused one by one.

He quietly glanced at Lu Yan's face, and lowered his head.

"My lord, our lord said that the adult is young and promising, if he has the heart to marry, he will have a better family to match the adult, such as the Feng family in Hezhong Mansion...."The housekeeper raised his head slightly and said with a smile.

When the master heard this, his heart suddenly jumped twice, the Feng family in Hezhong Mansion is a big family, if he marries with such a family, it will be a big help for Lu Yan in the Hezhong Mansion realm.

"Your Excellency.." He couldn't help but blurt out out in a gaffe, wanting to remind.

saw Lu Yan stand up and bow slightly to the housekeeper.

"Thank you Mr. Meng for your trouble, and Lu is grateful." He said with a smile, cutting off the butler's words.

The butler was such a quick-witted man, he immediately understood what he meant, changed the subject, said two more polite words, and took his leave.

Lu Yan personally sent him out, and the housekeeper repeatedly asked him to stay before he stopped his feet, and finally let the master send him out of Yunsi City.

He stood there, watching the evening glow spread over the entire courtyard, only to feel the pain of burning in his eyes, and he couldn't help but close his eyes suddenly.

The master sent the housekeeper away, hesitated outside for a while, and finally came in hard.

Lu Yan was still standing in the courtyard, he had already opened his eyes, but the person was still motionless, although his face was as light as ever, but at this time, even a blind man could feel the unhappy emotions emanating from his body.

"My lord, in fact, the Feng family of Hezhong Mansion that Meng Xiucai said...."The master said boldly.

"Marriage matters, the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, now the parents' orders are not allowed, the matchmaker's words can't be achieved, you say, what should I do?" Lu Yan interrupted him and shifted his gaze to him. Asked.

The master wailed in his heart, if he knew what to do, now he is afraid that his great-grandson will be embraced, where will he still be an old bachelor.

"My lord, this Miss Liu is not so good, if you are not afraid of being blamed by adults, according to the current identity of adults, there are better people..."The master gritted his teeth and said.

But his words were interrupted again.

"She's just good." Lu Yan said, looking at the master. "What's next?"

The master only felt that cold sweat was dripping on his forehead, and he was also responsible for the master of his own family to ask for his daughter-in-law, and he was the only one who had no predecessors before and no one after him, right? Will this leave a place in history in the future?

A few days later, I inquired about the news that the girl Liu Meibao had no longer gone to the pharmacy, and the door of Song Sanniang's house was tightly closed day and night. Only his son fetches firewood and sells firewood in and out, which shows how obvious this evasive attitude is.

Lu Yan's mood was even worse, and he spent more and more time in the martial arts arena. The high-intensity exercises, not to mention the salt dings who were used to being casual, even the smugglers who had been following him all the way through were complaining.

"Now that the salt road in Hezhong Mansion has been opened, and those people sent by the salt merchants are also scared by us, why are you still unhappy?"

"I thought I could be more leisurely. Good fellow, it's even more bitter now than it was when I was a battalion soldier. If we don't go into battle to fight the Tartars, why do we have to practice like this..."

Many people were discussing and speculating in private, and finally someone couldn't stand it anymore and seized the opportunity to stop the master.

The master has dark circles under his eyes, he hasn't seen him for a few days and he's thin, and at first glance he thought he had just fished out of the salt farm.

"Idle? Taiping? The master scolded these salters silently, "It seems that you really have not suffered, the west looks at the tartars like wolves and tigers, and the east looks like locusts crossing the border, and the hungry people are everywhere." Add up the hard labor of the salt works, and we are only one hundred and eighty people, and we really need to be beaten by Tartars or rogues. If you don't have real skills, you can only lose your life. Your father, mother, wife, and children are also unlucky..."

The people who said this were shocked, and they also knew that the world was not peaceful now, but because they had never been out of the boundary of Hezhong Prefecture, they really didn't have a personal experience of what was going on outside.

"No, we're pretty peaceful here... There are a lot of soldiers in Datong Mansion." Everyone whispered.

The master snorted.

"Those are also called soldiers." He muttered to himself in a low voice and did not continue the topic, "You can do whatever your adult wants, you have been following your adult for so long, have you ever harmed you?" ”

These words were said by those old people, and the old people were a little ashamed when they heard this, and lowered their heads and hurriedly said yes.

The master twisted his beard and walked away.

"Master, are you going out?" Someone saw his direction and asked.

The master's face darkened a little, and he went away with a sigh of gratitude, and a salt ding pulled a donkey cart and waited outside, and when he saw him coming, he pulled his face and said hello.

"Are you going to have tea today?" Yanding was very unhappy about this errand and asked angrily.

The master glanced at him, the salt Ding snorted, turned his head and said no more, asked the master to get in the car, and drove honestly in the direction of the county seat.

It's still early to get to the city street, the master first went to do a few official things, and after coming out, he didn't take the car, just walked slowly, these days in the pharmacy and the grocery store of the fourth man on the road for a few days, I didn't see Liu Mei Baolai, it can be seen that these two frequented places are hopeless, and I am worried and complaining.

"Isn't it just a woman, it's really not good, take advantage of the darkness to let people climb over the wall and rob her, just make raw rice and cook ripe rice..."He couldn't help but say in his heart, "In the past, he was also a robber, that is, now he is dressed as an official, and he doesn't see many rules when he enters Hezhong Mansion to deal with those salt merchants, why do you just talk about Sven to this woman?" ”

While complaining, I have to think about where to go, thinking about how to achieve my family's wishes.

"Brother remember to dig more gastrodia, this is the season of gastrodia mining, but it is much more valuable than spring hemp." Liu Meibao instructed at the door.

Zhou Liangyu turned around and smiled with a hoe on his back, and said that he knew, while letting her go in quickly.

Liu Meibao answered, stood at the door and watched Zhou Liangyu go away, still reluctant to go in.

Song Sanniang coughed with a warning behind her, and Liu Meibao reluctantly turned around and inserted the door.

"Actually, aunt, this is just self-comforting." She said lazily, while sitting down and picking up a medical book to flip through it, "If people really have bad intentions, can our small family stop it?" ”

Song Sanniang's thrashing of the cloth did not stop, and she did not pay attention to her.

Since that day, Liu Meibao said that she didn't want to go back to Beijing, and said some pitiful words, Song Sanniang agreed, but the condition was that she was not allowed to go out again, and she couldn't do anything digging and selling medicine.

"Isn't this a waste of manpower and money?" Liu Meibao flipped through the book, she didn't know how to be a girl, and she wasn't interested in learning that, fortunately, the book she borrowed from Song Langzhong hadn't been returned, except for daily housework, she read a book to relieve her boredom, and she didn't mention it anymore when she said to herself.

In fact, she is also a little apprehensive in her heart, this kind of bullying and robbing people's women is a common drama in TV dramas, and bullying men and women is not uncommon in this era when power is king, in case that person is soft, it is really hard....

So will she go along with life if she can't resist, or will she touch her neck with a knife and then hit her luck again?

It's a torturous choice, and hopefully it never comes up.

While they were thinking wildly, they heard a chaotic sound of footsteps outside, accompanied by the noisy chatter of men and women, and the two people in the courtyard immediately sat up straight, their eyes alert.

The group stopped outside their door.

Song Sanniang clenched the mallet in her hand, and Liu Meibao also rolled up the book in her hand.

"Three ladies, three ladies." Someone knocked on the door, but it was Song Langzhong's voice.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's me.." Song Langzhong knew their current situation, and was busy introducing himself, and said again, "There is a medicine to trouble the girl."

Medicine? Song Sanniang glanced at Liu Meibao, and Liu Meibao gave her a puzzled look.

"Here we are." Song Sanniang wiped her wet hands on her clothes, got up and opened the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw four or five people crowded in the narrow alley outside the door, and I couldn't help but be stunned, and my eyes swept over the three men and one woman, the men didn't know each other, but this woman...

Song Sanniang's face darkened, and she raised her hand to close the door.

"Three ladies, three ladies.." The old bustard in the garden quickly reached out and grabbed the door, and said with a smile, "I won't enter the door, just stand outside, and I won't dirty your ground." ”

"You get out of the way." As soon as someone pushed the bustard away, he stood in front of Song Sanniang.

Liu Meibao also looked behind Song Sanniang at this time, and saw that this was a tall middle-aged man, wearing a hat made of satin, wearing a round-necked robe made of satin, and a rich man at a glance.

Song Sanniang didn't recognize him either, and glanced at Song Langzhong.

Song Langzhong was about to introduce him, and the man had already spoken on his own.

"I am the Wang family of Dong Zhuang.." The man said, panting heavily, "It's your sister who said that my ejiao is fake..." If you like this work, you are welcome to come to the starting point () to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, is my biggest motivation. )
