The moon is as cold as water, and the light it sheds makes the outdoors extremely bright, showing every detail.
On the grassy slope of the bunker, several sturdy men were roasting a kind of bird egg on a red charcoal stove. The locals called it firebird egg. It was slightly smaller than an egg and was very delicious.
At the small round table a few steps away, Lu Ming was holding a deck of cards similar to playing cards and was doing magic tricks for Nicole, which made Nicole exclaim from time to time.
Long Xiang and Yingyan Luo both declined the dinner invitations and returned to the earthen fort provided by the Long Xiang family.
Beside them, Luo Yi and Luo Er were holding paper fans to drive away mosquitoes for them.
Lu Ming suddenly turned around and asked Luo Yi, "Can you find your relatives here? Do they have names? Oh, no one here has a surname. Do they have names? Do you have any directions?"
Luo Yi suddenly froze, as if he was suddenly shocked by electricity. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but suddenly he seemed to have forgotten how to say Zhongzhou dialect. He spat out a few bytes, which should be her mother tongue, and it was cute.
His face turned pale and his jabbering stopped abruptly.
In fact, the master had never chatted with her. Even when he talked to her, he always told her to do things. It was usually just a few words, and she knew what the master wanted to do.
But this was the first time that the master had told her so many things and still asked about her personal matters.
My mind was buzzing for a while, and I completely forgot how to say it in Zhongzhou dialect.
Lu Ming was helpless and said to Nicole: "You can talk to her later. Come all the way. If you want to see your relatives, help her."
At this time, a muscular man in his thirties ran up from the grassy slope. He was wearing dark camouflage and had a square and honest face. He was none other than Lao Catfish.
Although Old Catfish is taciturn and not very bright, he learned to fly a helicopter very quickly. He is now the captain of the United Matrix Air Service Team. Of course, he is not usually required to fly helicopters. Moreover, the so-called not very bright is just that.
He is a genius when it comes to dealing with things in daily life, but in the military field, it's just that the so-called air crew now only consists of these three helicopters and dozens of armed aviation personnel.
"Lord, the sentry reported that Hawkeye Luo and Popolo have arrived three miles outside the manor." Old Catfish came closer and bowed slightly.
It was surrounded by defenses three miles away, and the sentries communicated with the area using walkie-talkies.
As for the title "Lord", it is an original Chinese pronunciation. The word Lu Ming created for them, written in Zhongzhou dialect, roughly means "respected leader".
Da Tou, Shi Tou, Lao Yao and other senior executives of United Matrix used this word to call Lu Ming.
After the establishment of United Matrix Company, it was Datou who was the first to call Lu Ming "Young Master". He felt that "Boss" and "Boss" were too unfamiliar and could not express the kind of respect in his heart. It would be better to call Lu Ming "Young Master" like Fu Mosi.
.
Lu Ming coined the title "Lord" for them.
Hearing Lao Catfish's words, Lu Ming smiled: "These two are running out of time, right? Well, let's wait for them to come."
…
Ten minutes later, two groups of people appeared at the foot of the grass slope. Popolo and Hawkeye Luo were very eye-catching, both wearing white robes.
Popolo and Hawkeye are about the same age, but they are a little fat and their little eyes can't even be seen when they smile.
Most of the entourage stayed below. Popolo and his son Longxiang, and Hawkeye Luo, a beautiful woman, only brought a few close followers with them to meet Lu Ming on the grass slope.
"Brother, what you are talking about is boring. I went up to play for a while. If you want to come to my room, I will leave the door open for you!" Nicole's red lips came to Lu Ming's ear and whispered.
Lu Ming glared at her, Nicole and Luo Er gave a few instructions, chuckled, got up and left, leaving Long Xianghun Wanwuwu outside, staring blankly at her footprints.
Hawkeye Luo first introduced the beautiful woman next to him.
Listening to Luo Yi's translation, the woman's name means red peach blossom. Luo Yi translates it as red peach, pronounced Papaya, and she is one of the three wives of Hawkeye Luo.
According to the custom of Bate City, aristocratic men can marry three wives. There is no distinction between high and low, and the status is exactly the same.
This Papaya looks to be about twenty years old. Hawkeye Luo makes no secret of his love for her. He says that he has taken a liking to her and has been waiting until the death of his wife. He immediately married her and is now married.
It has been three years, and his family affairs have all been taken care of by Papaya, who is very capable and has more abilities than the men in Bate City.
Papaya smiled reservedly at Lu Ming. She was wearing the traditional costume of a local lady, a gorgeous rose red gold gauze dress, which covered her body tightly from head to toe. The gauze fabric was used, but it was still vaguely exposed.
Showing her graceful figure.
Her long black hair was covered by a glittering golden kerchief, and her face was covered by black gauze, revealing a pretty snow-white face with melon seeds, deep and charming brown eyes, a high bridge of nose with a small golden nose nail, and a beautiful cross-shaped ornament hanging from her forehead.
, full of exotic and charming style.
However, because Nicole had just left, her beauty seemed to still be there, and even though Papaya was so beautiful, it seemed to have been obscured and eclipsed, giving people the feeling of a very ordinary beauty.
"Mayor Lu, after I separated from you, I went to the Dongmen Public Security Station and also had a phone call with Economic Luo, because Papaya said that this matter should be your biggest concern."
As Hawkeye Luo spoke, Papa Ya also smiled politely at Lu Ming.
Lu Ming glanced at Papa Ya and thought to himself that this woman has a good mind.
"But Mayor Lu, you may also know that it turns out that an employee of the oil company was the victim in this matter, so..."
Lu Ming nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, I have asked them to hold a trial as soon as possible, otherwise they will release him. There is no reason to detain the citizens of Beiguan for a long time."
Hawkeye Luo sighed: "I feel ashamed that I can't help Mayor Lu, but I have told Economic Luo that Mr. Liu is my deceased friend. We can't control the oil company, but if you Economic Luo
Anyone who dares to harm him is my mortal enemy!"
"Thank you!" Lu Ming slightly cupped his hands.
Luo Yi quickly translated from the side.
Popolo sat aside and did not interrupt. He smiled slightly and said, "Eagle, are you done? It seems that you have done your best, Eagle."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! I mean, are you just going to help Mayor Lu do this? It hasn’t been done yet.
Hawkeye Luo didn't feel dissatisfied, and smiled slightly: "Then you go ahead! I let you, after all, the mayor is your guest."
Popolo looked at Lu Ming, "Mayor Lu, my aunt is also the ancestor of my Popolo family and the most noble woman in my family. I am willing to accompany you when you are here..." said the voice in front.
It's small, fast, and vague.
And after all, the pronunciation of Bate dialect and Luo Yi's mother tongue is very different, so Luo Yi couldn't hear it clearly for a while.
"This is her dowry. The most noble person in my family is getting married. However, my family's strength is meager. Therefore, the dowry will make you laugh." The voice became louder.
Luo Yi had no choice but to start the translation from here.
Popolo had already clapped his hands, and the slave behind him presented a big red gift list and a thick stack of contracts.
Popolo pointed at the earthen fort and drew a circle, "Near Wolong Fort, there are 3,000 acres of good farmland, and more than 2,000 acres of middle land. Going south, there are 5,000 acres of middle and lower fields, a total of 11,000 acres.
One-third of the one thousand and forty-six acres, Wolongbao has 112 households with a population of 736, plus the rest of the farmland and the village community, a total of 154 households with a population of 1,023.
It's all my family's dowry. Here are the gift notes and land deeds, land deeds and Ding deeds. Please check them, Lord Mayor."
When Lu Ming heard this, it seemed that the Popolo family wanted to marry someone to him, and the dowry would be more than 10,000 acres of land and more than a thousand serfs.
Still curious, he asked Luo Yi, "Is this earthen fort called Wolong Fort?"
Luo said in a low voice: "It is a sacred object in Bate custom that is entrenched here, so the slave translated it as Wolong Fort."
Lu Ming felt something in his heart, this was a good sign, "Well, the name is good, and your translation is also good."
Over there, Hawkeye Luo and Mrs. Papaya were stunned. At this moment, Hawkeye Luo couldn't hold back anymore and said loudly: "Fei Bo, are you right? That old aunt in your family is almost fifty, isn't she?
Are you crazy about marrying Mayor Lu?"
Long Xiang's face suddenly changed, he stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "How dare you insult my ancestor? My ancestor made a great vow in front of the Three Dragon Gods to prosper my family. He never married and was a member of our clan.
I admire the Bodhisattva, how dare you say that?!"
All the servants of the Popolo family also glared angrily at Hawkeye Luo, gearing up for a fight.
Even Popolo, who was always smiling, had fire in his eyes, staring at Eagle Eye Luo.
Eagle Eye Luo also knew that he said the wrong thing in a hurry, which could easily lead to an endless fight between the two clans. He stood up and stroked his chest slightly, "I said the wrong thing. I apologize to the Popolo family and Aunt Longnu!"
"
Over there, Lu Ming was stunned as he listened to Luo Yi's translation.
Want to marry an old aunt who is almost fifty to you? What do you think?
You've never married anyone in your life, how weird is your temper?
Moreover, I can understand that Popolo's aunt is younger than Popolo, but she is certainly not much younger. Popolo is probably over sixty years old, and his aunt is not that old even if she says so.
Fifty, you have to look like forty-eight or nine.
What's more, people who never come out to meet people are usually considered younger by others.
I went back to my hometown in my previous life, but because I never went back, many people in my hometown thought that my cousin was my cousin, and they always thought that I was still very young.
From this perspective, it is not impossible for that ancestor to be over fifty.
To be honest, in this world, a woman in her early fifties may have a grandson as old as herself. Yes, it is a grandson and not a son.
Over there, Popolo saw Hawkeye Luo apologizing. He snorted and ignored him. He smiled at Lu Mingpei and said, "Mr. Mayor, my aunt Shi Geng is forty-five, but although I shouldn't comment, she can
My grandmother is like a fairy. She fasts all day long, so she is very pure and does not look that old..." He coughed and said, "My ancestor will never marry in his life. Now that he is the mayor, he is willing to break the precept, and he is also the member of my family.
Fortunately..."
Nagging and talking, Luo Yi was translating.
The implicit meaning is nothing more than saying how noble his ancestors are, how sincere they are and how much they respect him when they marry an ancestor who has a higher status than him in the family.
Lu Ming rubbed his nose. Wolong Bay was a good sign. Tens of thousands of acres of land and thousands of serfs. He was afraid that a quarter of the Popolo family's property would be given to him.
From then on, I had a solid base here.
All this is very exciting.
However, forget about the marriage, let’s see how to buy it?
Speaking of which, according to local customs, this is not too ridiculous. The first thing to do when marrying is to see what status the other party has as the marriage partner.
Nowadays, the Popolo family is naturally the most sincere. Especially, they do not think that they will value any female sex in this kind of marriage relationship.
After all, the higher your status is, the more you will understand what marriage means.
