Children are just too curious. What bad intentions can they have?

Dongming Ziyu blushed at the question and couldn't laugh or cry.

Everyone was used to seeing him being calm and self-possessed, fighting for life and death, but this was the first time they saw him in such embarrassment, and they all burst into laughter with gloating.

Mrs. Qian was washing her hands in the yard with her hands stained with noodles. When she heard Dongming Ziyu being teased, she quickly wiped her hands on her apron to save her precious son.

Taking Wu Lang from Dongming Ziyu's arms, he smiled and cursed at the onlookers: "You thick-skinned people, did you do this on purpose?"

Dongming Ziyu coughed slightly, handed the place to his mother, and hurried into the yard.

Mrs. Qian put Wu Lang on the ground and said to the red-faced Da Lang, "Go and get a clean bucket. I'll show these little bastards where the milk is."

Da Lang ran into the yard with a red face, came back with the bucket, put down the bucket and ran away.

Erlang and a few sensible big boys and girls all ran away with red faces, leaving only a group of little beans standing in a circle, curiously watching Old Mrs. Qian milking the cow, with bright eyes.

, seriously.

Mrs. Qian simply boiled the milk with water and gave each of the little beans a bowl to try.

There were cries and howls outside, and everyone remembered that today was the day of Jiang Yi's funeral.

It stands to reason that when there are weddings and funerals in the village, every family has to send someone to help. Especially for those who have just settled down after fleeing the famine, weddings and funerals, and repairing and building houses are a good opportunity to connect with each other.

But first Jiang Haoguang was hostile and made things difficult for them, and later Jiang Yi threw dirty water on Shangguan Ruoli, and Jiang Yi's own mother's weird logic blamed Jiang Yi's death on this group of people. We would not warm up to someone else's butt.

Don't help and don't watch the fun.

After Jiang Yi was buried in the mountains, Jiang Haoguang's wife stood by the vegetable field and cried and cursed for half the night in the direction of Dongzhou's house. The content was that they had invited the wolf and killed Jiang Yi.

I have to say that she found out the truth inexplicably.

None of Jiang Haoguang's family came out to persuade him, so they obviously thought so.

In the end, Jiang Hexuan sent someone to take Jiang Haoguang's wife back. I don't know what he said, but she never came to scold her again.

The next day, Jiang Hongda came to visit.

Everyone helped repair the foundation and saw wood at Dongming Ziyu's house.

Dong Chunlei looked at it, welcomed him up, and made way to the stone table in the yard, "The village chief is here, hurry up, sit over there."

Old Man Dong, who was arranging the branches, heard the voice, put down the branches in his hands, and walked this way, telling Mrs. Li: "Daughter-in-law, bring a clean tea bowl to the village chief."

Jiang Hongda sat on the stone bench, took a look at the lively scene, and asked: "Is this another house being built?"

Mr. Dong smiled and said: "Yes, the snacks made by my fourth daughter-in-law are delicious, so I want to do business in this area."

Jiang Hongda smiled and said: "Wu Langniang's cooking skills are indeed very good."

Dong Chunlei asked: "The village chief is here, but there is something wrong?"

Jiang Haoguang looked at Mr. Xiangdong and said, "I came here this time to find out whether your eldest son is engaged or not."

Mrs. Li was putting the tea bowl on the table. When she heard this, she paused, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "No, Da Lang has not been engaged yet and has not found a suitable girl."

Dong Chunlei lifted the teapot on the stone table, poured tea into the empty bowl, and asked, "Did the village chief come here as a matchmaker?"

Mr. Dong looked forward to it: "Whose girl is it?"

Jiang Hongda said with a smile: "She is the eldest daughter of my aunt's cousin. She is fifteen years old. She looks pretty good, has an upright temperament, is virtuous and kind, is literate, can settle accounts, and can run a household.

My cousin works as an inspector in the county government. His wife died of illness six years ago and has never remarried. My aunt is also in poor health. My niece has been running the house since she was young, respecting the elderly and taking care of her.

The two younger brothers are very capable."

Inspection inspectors are responsible for training armored soldiers, raising war horses, etc. Although they are from the ninth rank, they are in charge of the military and maintain public order.

Mrs. Li awkwardly wiped her hands on her apron and asked with a blushing face: "You are an official, how come you fall in love with our elder man?"

Jiang Hongda did not beat around the bush and said frankly: "Your family has a good family tradition. You are good-looking, literate, capable, and good at martial arts. I heard that if you study and practice martial arts every day, you will get better and better."

Dong Youfu has extraordinary talents and bright future. Moreover, your family has made great contributions, and Mr. Rongchuan will not forget you either.

My cousin has no biological mother, has a strong temper, and has two young brothers at home. Those with high family status, as well as those with higher family status, want to marry a virtuous, gentle daughter-in-law who can bring support to the family.

My cousin is not willing to marry his daughter to a village or a businessman. He has a deep relationship with his cousin's wife, and he doesn't want his daughter to marry into a family with a concubine in the backyard. Anyway, if you can't get a high position or a low position, it's been delayed until now.

.”

In fact, I still value the potential of Dongming Ziyu and occupy it in advance. When the Dong family rises in the future, I may not necessarily be interested in a family with a ninth-grade sesame and a junior official.

Old Man Dong didn't think that his family could prosper and prosper. He thought that his family was so poor that marrying an official's daughter as his grandson's daughter-in-law was really too high.

He said, "I can't make a decision on this matter. I'll discuss it with the old lady and the eldest son, and then give you an answer, okay?"

Jiang Hongda understood, "Marrying a wife is not a trivial matter and should be discussed carefully. You can go to the county to find out. With my cousin's character and temperament, as well as her ability as a housekeeper, she will have no problem becoming the eldest daughter-in-law."

Li smiled and said, "The village chief said she must be a good girl."

Being a matchmaker is not an easy job. If you don't do well or have problems with your character, you will be blamed.

But you can't just settle the marriage casually just because you trust Jiang Hongda. You have to inquire about it carefully and meet the person.

There was a family meeting in the evening, and Dalang blushed and said, "Listen to your grandparents and parents."

Mrs. Qian agreed: "Tomorrow, Wulang's wife and I will go to the county town to inquire about the girl. It would be better if we could take a sneak peek."

Shangguan Ruoli still felt a little pressure after being assigned such an important task.

I baked some animal cookies, egg tarts, and some lollipops in the evening, and I'm going to drop by the county town tomorrow to try out the water.

Early the next morning, amidst the banter among his family members, Da Lang drove the mule cart with a red face, pulling Mrs. Qian and Shangguan Ruo away from the county town.

They arrived at an alley near a school and heard from Jiang Hongda that the girl sent her two younger brothers to school every day and went to the market to buy vegetables.

Scholars, tall and short, wore the same scholar's robes and scarves, and carried book boxes. They were in high spirits, chatting and laughing. It gave people a sense of vitality and prosperity.

Some came by themselves, some family members walked to deliver them, and some servants drove them to deliver them. They were calling friends at the door, which was very lively.

"Ahem!" Mrs. Qian cleared her throat and began to greet: "I'm selling biscuits! I'm selling egg tarts and lollipops! It's fragrant and sweet, and I'm selling delicious food!"
