Chapter 25 The matchmaker proposes marriage
Zhou Zhengxiong led the guards to eliminate the bandits, and the news of eradicating the bandits spread throughout Red Moon City as if they had grown wings. This incident became a beautiful conversation among the residents of the entire Red Moon City, and people rushed to tell each other, which made the Yuewei Dart Bureau even more famous.
By the time Zhou Zhengxiong commanded everyone to clean up the battlefield, it was already the next day. Everyone was exhausted, and the team returned to Red Moon City in a slightly messy manner.
When they could just see the gate of Red Moon City, they felt that today's Red Moon City was very different from the past. Outside the city gates, a large number of residents gathered at this time. Men and women, young and old, are looking forward to it. When they saw this triumphant procession, they immediately beat gongs and drums, sang and danced, and cheered to welcome their heroes home
Receiving such a warm welcome was something that Zhou Zhengxiong and the guards of the dart bureau never dreamed of. The cheers from the inhabitants touched the crowd, and they regained their spirits and straightened their chests. Although the clothes on their bodies were tattered, they could not change their tall and glorious image in the slightest.
Getting closer and closer to the city gate, when Zhou Zhengxiong saw the city lord Yuefei standing in the middle of the city gate, he was so excited that he burst into tears. What a great honor it was to have the lord of the castle come out to greet him personally.
No longer hesitated, and immediately stepped forward to salute the city lord Yuefei: "Lord Annoyance personally greets him, Zhou Zhengxiong is ashamed." ”
"Zhou Dart is too modest. This time, you led the people to exterminate the bandits, and you made a great achievement. Not only to protect the lives and property of the residents of my Red Moon City and merchants from all over the world from being threatened, but more importantly, to solve a major heart disease, you must know that in order to come up with an effective way to eradicate the bandits, I have been thinking about tea and dinner recently, and I have a headache. Now, I can finally sleep soundly. Hahaha..."The city lord Yue Fei put down his previous majesty and said to Zhou Zhengxiong very casually.
"Lord of the City, you really hold me high. I just did what I had to do, and as a resident of Red Moon City, it's my honor to share the worries of adults. Zhou Zhengxiong replied modestly.
Turning around and pulling Wang Yan in front of the city lord Yue Fei, Zhou Zhengxiong continued: "City lord, this time you can annihilate the bandit gang in one fell swoop, Wang Yan should make the first contribution. It was precisely because he was not afraid of danger and accurately shot the bandit leader that many bandits were left unled and became a plate of scattered sand, and were finally killed by us. ”
After listening to Zhou Zhengxiong's words, City Lord Yue Fei looked at this handsome and sturdy young man with a smile on his face. A few days ago, I just heard that Wang Yan rejuvenated his magic and cured Zhou Zhengxiong's daughter's strange disease, and now Zhou Zhengxiong has given Wang Yan the credit for annihilating the bandits, which makes the city lord Yue Fei can't help but look at Wang Yan with admiration.
"It's really a hero from ancient times. The city lord Yue Fei admired and commanded his subordinates: "Heavy reward!"
The sign outside Red Moon City has been replaced with new content. 'In view of the annihilation of the bandits, the inhabitants of Red Moon City are hereby allowed to celebrate for three days as a sign of celebration. - City Lord Moon Fly'
The whole Red Moon City began to be lively, and everyone was jubilant. Zhou Zhengxiong was only happy for one night, and was troubled by another thing, which made him both happy and difficult.
It's really that people are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Once the reputation spreads, the people who come to the door can't stop it.
Zhou Tong, the housekeeper of the Yuewei Dart Bureau, had just opened the door of the Dart Bureau, and many matchmakers who had been waiting outside rushed up, squeezed him aside, and rushed towards the Dart Bureau.
This meeting frightened the housekeeper Zhou Tong, and hurriedly shouted: "Stop me, what are you doing here?"
No one paid attention to the housekeeper Zhou Tong, and everyone was afraid that they would run slowly and be preempted by others. Therefore, the words shouted by the housekeeper Zhou Tong became a catalyst, and they all ran away without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Chasing the matchmaker to the reception hall where the dart bureau received the guests, the housekeeper Zhou Tong was surrounded by the matchmaker before he could stand firmly, and he quarreled in his ear: "Let Zhou Dart come out, I want to propose." "I came in first, and I want to propose first." "Miss Zhou, how can you propose marriage indiscriminately, and if you want to propose marriage, I will also propose marriage." ”......
"Calm down. The housekeeper Zhou Tong said loudly, "My master is still having breakfast, so I'll go over and invite him over." ”
As soon as Zhou Zhengxiong put down the bowl in his hand, he saw the housekeeper Zhou Tong running over, panting and saying, "Master, there are more than a dozen matchmakers waiting in the hall." They want to see the lord and propose marriage to the young lady. “
"Ahh It's a good thing that a matchmaker comes to the door to propose, but there are more than a dozen matchmakers at once, how can he parry.
Actually, Zhou Shan used to have a marriage contract, which was the son of another dart bureau in Orange Moon City. The two dart games can be said to be a good match, and after forming a family, they can make the dart game business bigger and stronger together. However, since Zhou Shan fell ill, seeing that no one could cure him, the owner of the dart game in Orange Moon City began to regret it, sent someone to cancel the marriage contract between the two families, and quickly married someone else's woman as a daughter-in-law. For this reason, Zhou Zhengxiong was furious and terminated all contacts between the two families.
This time, the matchmaker came to propose marriage, which just gave Zhou Zhengxiong the opportunity to choose again. Daughter Zhou Shan is eighteen years old, and she is of the age of marriage, so she can't be delayed.
Dressed neatly, Zhou Zhengxiong and Mrs. Zhou came to the reception hall together, and when they saw the matchmakers, Zhou Zhengxiong hurriedly said politely: "Thank you very much for coming to propose marriage to the little girl Zhou Shan, we have lost our welcome and offended." “
Beckoned the matchmakers to sit down, and asked the housekeeper Zhou Tong to pour tea for each matchmaker, Zhou Zhengxiong looked at the matchmakers: "Which of you will say it first." “
"I'll start with that. Before Zhou Zhengxiong's words fell, a matchmaker in her forties, who was obese but still dressed in fancy clothes, stood up urgently, only to see her shake the silk handkerchief in her hand first, cough softly, and make sufficient preparations, seeing that everyone's eyes were attracted, then she said: "Congratulations to Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou." My surname is Zhang, and I was entrusted by Master Zhao, a big pharmacist in the south of the city, to come here to propose marriage for the young master of the Zhao family. The Zhao family is a wealthy family, and their business is all over Red Moon City, Orange Moon City and Yellow Moon City. The young master of the Zhao family is a talented person and has a smart mind. The young master of the Zhao family, who has been exposed to the way of business since he was a child, has been able to take charge of the business of herbal medicine, and the money he earns every day is like flowing water to his family. The young master of the Zhao family, who is just twenty years old, and the young lady of the old man Zhou's family are really quite a good match. If Miss can marry into the Zhao family, she will have endless glory and wealth. “
"Phew, bah, bah. Before Zhou Zhengxiong and his wife could react, sitting next to Mrs. Zhang, the matchmaker who was also wearing heavy makeup rushed to speak. She also stood up and pushed aside Mrs. Zhang who was blocking her with her hand, making sure that Zhou Zhengxiong and Mrs. Zhou were paying attention to herself, so she looked at Mrs. Zhang unhurriedly and said, "I said Sister Zhang, you are not afraid to flash your tongue when you say big things." Who doesn't know, the young master of the Zhao family, a pharmacist in the south of the city, is a loser who doesn't learn and has no skills, and is lazy and lazy, so where is making money like running water, you say it's upside down, it's spending money like flowing water, right? How much money did the Zhao family promise you, so you would praise the young master of his family so falsely?"
After saying these words, the matchmaker glanced at Mrs. Zhang's somewhat embarrassed face with a cold gaze. Turning his head, he immediately changed his face to a smiling face like a flower like a trick, and said to Zhou Zhengxiong and his wife: "Master Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, my surname is Li, and I came to the door today to propose marriage for the son of the salt merchant Wang family in the east of the city." You may not know the way, the Wang family just covers an area of hundreds of acres in the courtyard of the house, and it is an out-and-out big family. The son of the Wang family is one of the best young men in a hundred, and in terms of character, no one can match. Calling friends every day, chanting poems against each other, very literary, the prince of the Wang family heard that Miss Zhou was young and beautiful, and her martial arts were strong, so she had long been in love with her, and looked forward to marrying with Miss. I also hope that Mr. and Mrs. Zhou will fulfill the good deeds of the two of them. “
"Hey, Sister Li, your ability to make up nonsense is very good, and you have really improved a lot after not seeing you for a few days. Another matchmaker interjected and spit out the tea leaves that had been drunk in her mouth: "You have touted the prince of the royal family to the sky." Everyone knows what his character is. He also called friends, just his group of fox friends and dog friends, who surrounded him all day long, and didn't know how many girls had ruined their innocence, if Miss Zhou married him, it would be a flower inserted in cow dung. No, no, no, the son of the Wang family is not even as good as cow dung. “
Hearing this, all the matchmakers in the reception hall couldn't help but laugh, only the matchmaker Li turned pale.
"I said Sister Li, don't stare at me with resentful eyes, I'm just telling the truth. Ignoring Mrs. Li, the third matchmaker who spoke stood up, twisted her waist that was not too thin, moved to the front, and said to Zhou Zhengxiong and Mrs. Zhou: "I've seen Master Zhou, Mrs. Zhou." My surname is Sun, and I was sent by the Wu family, who ran a ticket number business in the west of the city, to propose marriage for his second son. Master Zhou should know that the ticket number business is the most profitable business, and there are countless amounts of money handled every day. The second son of the Wu family is very smart, and at a young age, he can sort out all kinds of accounts without a trace of mistakes. The Wu family has now begun to develop ticket number business to other cities, and it will develop and grow in a few years. At that time, I was afraid that the second son of the Wu family would be in charge of the business of at least one city. If the young lady of Mr. Zhou's family marries over, it will be a phoenix flying up the plane tree, and the future is bright. “
"Okay, Sister Sun, you are just that, you blow the Wu family all over our July Kingdom, Master Zhou will not believe your nonsense, then the second son of the Wu family can't even add or subtract, how to sort out the accounts? Master Zhou, Mrs. Zhou, I proposed to the young master of the Qi family in the north of the city. ”
"Master Zhou, don't listen to their nonsense, the son of the Zheng family I introduced is the best"
.......
The other matchmakers finally couldn't help it, if they didn't introduce it quickly, if they let the matchmaker mentioned above set their relatives, how could they go back and ask for money.
There was a commotion in the reception hall, and Zhou Zhengxiong and his wife, who couldn't hear what the matchmaker was talking about, were already dizzy.
