As soon as the matchmaker came in, she said that she was here to marry Liu Lu on behalf of Li Cheng, the legitimate son of General Li's mansion.

Just this moment left everyone confused.

Half an hour ago, at General Li's Mansion, Li Zhongzheng was practicing martial arts shirtless, flipping a spear up and down, and dancing very fast.

Suddenly he threw the spear to the side, and just as he came back, Li Cheng stepped into the courtyard and caught it.

"Dad~" Li Cheng took the gun and put it on the weapons rack aside.

Li Zhong went to the basin to wipe his face. He was almost fifty, with a few white hairs in his beard, but no fat on his body. The old scars crisscrossing his body showed how tragic the war with the Liao Kingdom was at that time.

After wringing his hand towel and wiping his face carelessly, Li Zhong asked, "How is it?"

"Yeah~" Li Cheng nodded: "Dad's guess is right."

"Sure enough, he was robbed!" Li Zhong threw down his handkerchief, put his hands on his waist, and looked at his son in front of him. Then he laughed and patted his son's strong shoulder: "What a good boy."

Li Cheng smiled bitterly, saying that all the noble sons in the capital were willing to be robbed by the Lord of Yong'an County, and they were willing and happy. Now he followed suit, but he was robbed by the people of the Lord of Yong'an County.

Li Zhong made a quick decision: "I'll go find your mother and find a matchmaker to propose marriage."

Li Cheng was stunned: "So fast?"

"Nonsense!" Li Zhong had a reason: "We are not as good as those noble families. Not only do we have salaries and fiefdoms, but can the government afford five taels of silver each time? Besides, you are a big boss, and you must ask for your marriage today.

If you do, you can stay in Beijing and return to Yanguan next year."

…

"Although Lieutenant Li is still a lieutenant now, it was because of his own initiative that he could not rely on his parents. If he can become a lieutenant after serving in the army for two years, he must be considered young and promising. The people in the Li family are also simple. General Li

My wife and I have already said that we are willing to let the matchmaker marry Miss Liulu." The matchmaker kept talking about what she was doing in this business. She talked like a lotus and spoke eloquently.

Xi Ning glanced at the military advisor, who understood and said leisurely: "As far as I know, Captain Li originally had two older brothers who died in the previous battle with the Liao Kingdom, leaving behind two widows and three other brothers.

A young child."

The third master rolled his eyes: "If you marry in love, you are just waiting to be widowed. This is not acceptable."

The matchmaker was a little embarrassed, but then responded: "We are not at war with Liao Bu now. Besides, life and death are destiny. General Li is living a good life and can eat half a bushel of rice at a time. I heard that Miss Liu Lu also has a good appetite.

If you marry into the Li family, you will be guaranteed to have enough to eat. Also, the men in the Li family love their wives and will not take concubines."

The fourth master nodded: "The man is away from home all year round, and the wife at home is waiting with the children. Knowing that the wife is working hard, the Li family has a conscience."

According to the laws of this dynasty, one must be a scholar or above before he can take a concubine, and he must be childless for many years before he can take a concubine. The prime minister can take four concubines, and the princes can take up to nine concubines. As for the others, they are all aunts.

General Li is already in the second rank and can take three concubines, but he still only has one wife for many years. Even though his two sons died in the war, his wife is no longer able to have children and still has no concubines.

The military advisor turned to look at her: "County Lord, Liu Lu is your man, please make up your mind."

Xining smiled faintly: "Liu Lu is from Black Tiger Village. This is a lifelong event for her. It's up to her to decide. I'll go and ask." After standing up, he went to the courtyard.

Liu Lu was in the room. She had probably heard the news and was sitting there in a daze. The funny thing was that while she was dazed, she still held a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand. She really couldn't forget to eat it.

Xining told her what had happened. Liu Lu's face suddenly turned red and she lowered her head and said nothing.

"Just say something." I don't like this kind of coercion among humans. If you want something, you won't want it. It's tiring to pretend that you don't want it even though you clearly want it.

Seeing that Liu Lu was still the same, he might as well resort to hard to get. He said in a long voice: "In that case, I'll go back." After saying that, he stood up and walked out slowly.

But she was almost at the door, and she still didn't hear Liu Lu's voice telling her to stay.

This is wrong. Could it be that this girl really doesn’t want to get married?

With the attitude that if the bargaining failed, he would go back and continue shamelessly. Xining turned back, sat down, and said earnestly: "Liu Lu, you are already seventeen, and you will be eighteen after the Chinese New Year.

It's time to get engaged. You must understand that if you miss Captain Li, you may never have such a good opportunity again in the future. The Li family has already

After investigation, it was clear that they should be from good families. The two widowed daughters-in-law who are now living in the mansion. After being widowed for three years, the Li mansion said that they were willing to let them find another family and marry them off as daughters. But both daughters-in-law were

The fact that she refuses to remarry proves that Mrs. General Li is a kind person and will not embarrass her daughter-in-law. What are you worried about?"

Liu Lu's eyes suddenly turned red. After sniffing, she started crying: "I can't bear to leave the village leader."

This... Xining couldn't laugh or cry. He stood up and walked over. He hugged Liu Lu, who was strong and broad, and touched her head to comfort her: "Silly girl, is it possible that you want to stay by my side forever?"

"I am willing to stay with the village master for the rest of my life." Liu Lu cried loudly.

This girl was indeed too tall. When she sat, her head was buried in her chest, and her clothes were wet with tears and nose.

"Okay, okay, stop crying." She finally coaxed Liu Lu to stop, took the handkerchief from Yunlian, wiped her tears clean, and put some ointment on her face. Xining changed her approach.

: "I just want to listen to you now, what do you think of Li Cheng?"

This time Liu Lu's face turned red again. It's true that the ancients were simple and would blush easily.

Liu Lu lowered her head and twisted the corners of her clothes with her thick fingers, fearing that she would tear the clothes. She hesitated: "He, he's pretty good."

Yes, he ate noodles with her, treated her to steamed buns, and most importantly, robbed her. Once you miss this kind of man, you may not be able to find a better one.

"I know!" Xining stood up and walked out: "This matter is up to me."

"Master of the Village~" Liu Lu suddenly stood up, but she didn't know what to say and stood there extremely nervously.

"Don't worry." Xining said with a smile, "Just wait until you become the bride."

Liu Lu breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately turned around in shame and covered her face with her hands.

It always feels a bit weird that this body can make such little woman-like movements.

Xining and Yunlian...

When they got outside, the matchmaker beamed with joy when she heard that she had agreed, and went back with Liu Lu's horoscope.

Soon the Li family's messenger and matchmaker brought the adoption gift, and they officially came to propose marriage.

Xining was too lazy to take care of these things and asked Liu Lu to start preparing the dowry, and all these red tapes were directly passed on to the military advisor and the first-level master. Anyway, the military advisor and the fifth-level master were all familiar with the three books and six rituals in the process.

Seeing Liu Lu holding a needle and embroidering flowers, she didn't get used to it for a while. This time the Li family was marrying a wife, and there were a lot of three books and six gifts. Even the betrothal gift was given according to the second-grade wife. This
