The land of Chenzhou is full of busy scenes, so after Lord Jun returned to Lin'an, he was worried about another thing.
"Qiu Longwei has been hiding incognito for more than ten years. Some of them have never been married, some of their wives have remarried, and some of them are still there, and they have just been picked up."
Cao Ying took care of these things, which made Yang Xuan feel relieved.
"It's hard to find the remaining thirty or so people." Cao Ying had a headache.
"Why?"
"I'm getting older."
"Too."
Times have changed, and the young people who were in their prime back then were the youngest in their mid-thirties.
At such an age, it is a big problem in the marriage market.
"No matter how difficult it is, you have to find it!" Yang Xuan said: "They keep their names anonymous for me, otherwise they will disperse in a hurry. With their own abilities, they can live a wealthy life without being rich, with a wife and children.
.”
He said seriously: "It's me who owes them. I'll take care of it!"
"Yes." Cao Ying was smart, so he didn't take action on this matter.
The Qiu Long Guards are personal guards who respect the emperor, and are Yang Xuan's personal guards at this moment. The power of these personal guards can only be controlled by Yang Xuan alone. Anyone who dares to show kindness is either stupid or bad.
Yang Xuan returned home.
"Zitai." Zhou Ning said happily: "I have figured out another acupuncture method, come and try it."
Yang Xuan trembled, "It's unbelievable that I've been in good health recently."
"Just try it."
"Xiao Xuanzi, you will die if you try!" Zhuque said quietly.
Yang Xuangan smiled and said: "I do have an idea."
"What?"
"We captured some prisoners during this trip. An Ning, you can try medicine or injections as you wish."
"Not good!"
Yang Xuan was furious, "How about you try it on me?"
Zhou Ning was startled, "Don't I think that you and I are the same?"
Yang Xuan was stunned, "You...you tried the needle on yourself?"
"yes!"
Yang Xuan covered his forehead, "Was it a trial and error?"
"A doctor has the heart of a parent. This is a sentence my husband taught me when I was studying medicine. I have always kept it in mind. The second sentence is that doctors should not dwell on the wisdom of their predecessors, but should forge ahead!"
"So you just figure it out on your own?"
"It's not just about testing injections, you also have to test medicines."
Yang Xuan was about to explode, "Here comes someone!"
When the lady in charge came in and saw that the atmosphere was not right, she couldn't help but beat her heart.
They all say that newlyweds will be intimate for a while, and once the novelty wears off, conflicts will arise. Alas! I thought the young lady would be better, but unexpectedly, it still came.
Yang Xuan ordered: "In the future, my wife is not allowed to try injections or medicine without my permission!"
Is this it?
Aunt Guan nodded sharply, "Yes!"
She saw the young lady trying needles and medicine and her scalp was numb, and she tried to persuade her, but the young lady didn't listen!
"Zitai!" Zhou Ning's rare childlike attitude.
Yang Xuan said with a straight face, "Who is in charge of this family?"
Aunt Guan said without hesitation: "Of course it's the husband!"
This traitor!
Huahong muttered outside the door.
"That's it!"
That night, Boss Yang could not sleep alone.
Not long after, he hugged the quilt and quietly reached the study room.
"Ahem!"
Zhou Ning, who was laying the floor in the study, didn't move.
"The door was broken open!"
Yang Xuan pushed, hey! The door is not closed.
"Make some room."
"Who asked you to come?"
"My father-in-law! My father-in-law said that if you are bullied, he will come from Chang'an to kill you."
"You know how to tell nonsense."
“If a man doesn’t tell nonsense, is he still a man?”
"Don't squeeze!"
…
The next day, the couple were still the same.
Aunt Guan praised: "My husband can bend and stretch, be soft and hard, he is indeed a real man."
Yi Niang stood under the eaves and said, "Don't worry about the things between them. Besides, the women in the backyard should be more careful and remind them not to go to the wrong bed. Otherwise, it will be considered as having physical contact with the husband."
, I can also tell them to get out!"
Aunt Guan nodded, "That's right. Hey! Yi Niang! I shouldn't have said it, but tell me, my husband doesn't have any other women?"
Yi Niang said calmly: "Of course not."
"I'm just afraid of being outside..." Guan Auntie is the female steward next to Zhou Ning, so her stance is naturally on her side, "I'm not saying that, if you really want it, just take it in. I'm not the kind of person who waits to be sour and jealous."
Yi Niang shook her head.
"So sure?" Aunt Guan secretly rejoiced.
Yi Niang said calmly: "If there is, Mr. Lang will definitely tell me."
Her husband has grown up, but no matter how old he is, in her eyes, he is still the child she brought out of the secluded place in a basket.
…
There are many women of the right age and even overage in Lin'an City.
Shang E, the eldest daughter of Shang Quan, is one of them.
Shang Quan is a businessman, and his business is not small. When he got up to have breakfast in the morning, he found that his eldest daughter had not come, so he asked, "Where is Xiao'e?"
The servant woman said: "The young lady said she is not hungry!"
Shang Quan has one son and one daughter, the eldest daughter Shang E, and the eldest son Shang Neng who is a little impatient around him.
"Aye, sister must be upset again, let's eat first!"
Shang Quan glared at him, "That's your biological sister. After I die, she will be the only one in the world who cares about you!"
Shang Neng thought of his wife and children, "I still have a wife and children!"
Shang Quan said gloomily: "How come, after I die, you want to leave your sister alone and live happily on your own?"
Just when Shang Neng was about to deny it, Shang Quan said coldly: "Dream! Before I die, I will naturally leave a generous dowry to your sister. She doesn't need you to support her!"
Shang Neng smiled bitterly, "Ah Ye, when you were busy doing business, it was my sister who took care of me. I will remember this affection! From now on! I will provide for my sister in her old age. If I have a bite to eat, my sister will also have her!"
Shang's face brightened slightly, "Go and call your sister."
"Aye!"
Shang'e has already arrived outside the door.
Shang Quan squeezed out a smile and said, "Xiao'e! The kitchen has made something you like today, come quickly."
Shang'e said: "My brothers and sisters and I will eat together!"
Shang Neng said: "Sister, Dalang is making a lot of noise, please don't worry about it."
"Come quickly!" Shang Quan waved.
Shang'e walked in.
"Hurry up and get the food ready!" Shang Quan said with a smile: "My father will have to go out later. This spring day is suitable for traveling. If you are interested, Xiao'e, let them get a carriage and escort you out of the city."
Shang Neng also joined in the fun, "There are a lot of people outside, the shepherds driving the sheep, like white clouds, walking slowly one after another. There are also cattle, oh! It's so interesting to watch."
"yes!"
The father and son were confused, but Shang'e lowered her head and said, "Aye, I will help my siblings at home."
Shang Quan was silent for a moment and then said angrily: "After talking for a long time, you just didn't move! My father doesn't understand. My son-in-law died by himself. The doctors said it was a sudden heart attack. This man died immediately.
It has nothing to do with you.
How come you are still entangled with this matter after all these years?"
Shang Neng looked at the mutton in front of him and lost his appetite. "Sister, my brother-in-law died on the way to the wedding. I think this is God's will. Aye, don't you think so?"
Shang Quan was silent. Back then, he met his son-in-law for his daughter, and everything was fine. However, he did not expect that on the way to welcome the bride, his son-in-law suddenly suffered from a heart attack and fell off his horse and died.
From then on, my daughter was known as a scumbag and no one cared about her.
But even so, he refused to speak ill of his son-in-law. "My son-in-law is not a bad person. His family will be heartbroken when he passes away."
"Yes." Shang Neng bowed his head.
"Let's eat!"
Shang Quan was a little depressed.
"Alang."
The servant came to report, "We have a guest."
"Where?" Shang Quan hurriedly ate breakfast.
"It's a matchmaker."
Boom!
Shang Quan let go of his hands and dropped his chopsticks to the ground.
Shang Neng responded faster, "Please come home soon."
Shang Quan stood up and asked, "Where is it?"
"Right ahead."
Shang Quan walked a few steps, turned around and said: "The ancestors have appeared, the ancestors have appeared! Xiao'e, what are you doing in a daze? Go and change into the most beautiful clothes, and ask your brothers and sisters to dress you up, ah!" Go quickly!"
Shang'e said dullly: "I guess I was telling my brother."
"You have a baby, go quickly!"
Shang Quan went there excitedly.
Shang'e hesitated.
Shang Neng said: "Sister, what are you waiting for? Go quickly!"
Shan'e stood up and sat down again.
"Definitely not."
"Madam!" Shang Neng raised his head and shouted.
After a while, his wife, Mrs. Wang, came holding a tender baby.
"Husband."
"Hurry up and take my sister to change clothes. She's pretty. Get some makeup and draw on her eyebrows. Hurry up!"
Ms. Wang was startled, "Why is this?", she suddenly became happy, "Could it be..."
"Go quickly!"
Shang'e went to change her clothes, put on some makeup, and drew her eyebrows.
"Sister, go quickly!" my sister-in-law encouraged.
Shang'e hesitated, "I don't want to go."
She was twenty-seven years old. According to the rules of the Tang Dynasty, she should have been married to an official for a long time. But when the other party heard about her experience, she would rather not marry than agree.
There's nothing the official media can do about it. You can't let someone marry a husband, right?
Therefore, her marriage has been postponed again and again, until now she has become an overage woman and no one cares about her anymore.
After changing her clothes, she went to the front yard.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As soon as I arrived in the front yard, I heard Shang Quan's laughter, which was hearty.
"Where are you from?"
The matchmaker was young and had a clear voice, "Of course he's from the city. That guy! He works in the state. He's upright and capable. You don't have to worry about money and food every month. It's enough, even if you're raising a group of kids. It’s nothing.”
Shang'e shook her head at the servant outside the door and signaled not to complain.
She wants to hear it.
It's a consensus that she can't find a good man at her age.
Even if there is, he is either disabled or widowed.
If she couldn't bear it, she would rather never marry in this life.
"Yo!" For some reason, matchmakers like to say "Yo" before speaking. This is the case with merchants over the years.
"Do you still need to think about this?"
The matchmaker didn't look very happy.
Shang Quan sighed, "You want to tell other families that when their daughter is so old, as long as there is a man willing to marry, even if he is disabled, he will marry her.
Why? Isn’t it because you are afraid that your daughter will get older at home and make people laugh?
But I think about it! No matter how old she is, she is still my daughter.
Back then, I was holding a small lump of flesh and felt panicked. I was afraid that it would hurt her when I squeezed it, and I was also afraid that her bones would not be able to withstand it...
Hey! Just such a little Tuotuo, now that she has grown up, I can’t bear to let her go...I can’t bear to wrong her!"
Outside the door, Shang'e burst into tears.
The matchmaker also sighed, "Your businessman is kind, but you have to think about it. Say it's not right. Your businessman will have to go sooner or later. What will happen to your daughter in the future?"
"There is her brother!"
"Hey! Shang Gong! This man has a wife, and he only cares about his own family.
At that time, your daughter will become an outsider, and with no one around her, she will be so lonely... Tsk! Just thinking about it makes people unbearable!"
Shang Quan's eyebrows jumped, "You said that man is working in the state, and he has no big skills. But with such big skills, why don't they get married?"
The matchmaker said: "That man is honest and only thinks about business. Alas! Mr. Shang, are you worried about his... incompetence?"
Shang'e didn't know what this meant, but when she saw the servant's strange expression, she knew it was not a good thing.
"Um!"
"Don't worry!" The matchmaker smiled as proudly as a weasel stealing a chicken, "It's good!"
"Can you guarantee it?"
"Guaranteed!" The matchmaker patted his uneven chest, "If I am incompetent, your businessman can bring people to destroy my house!"
"Hey!" Shang Quan was a little moved, "Do you have a place to stay?"
"Yes, but we are preparing."
"How old is such a good son-in-law?"
"Forty-one."
Shang Quan: "..."
He was stunned for a while, "Forty-one?"
Then he said angrily: "My daughter is only twenty-seven!"
That’s fourteen years older!
Shang Quan was angry!
The matchmaker sighed: "Does age matter? It does! But what is more important? Man! This man is honest and has a bright future. So what if he is older?"
Shang Quan shook his head, "Even if he is lucky, he will live for more than ten years. Who will my daughter rely on after more than ten years?"
"Ouch! As an Aye, you are very thoughtful, but people say you are very capable. What does it mean to be capable? Being able to survive is considered a capability!"
"Aye."
Shang'e walked in.
The matchmaker took a closer look and said, "Oh! I feel pity for you!"
In fact, Shang'e's appearance is just ordinary. In addition, her makeup was smeared with tears earlier, which makes her look even more ordinary. But this is the nature of a matchmaker. He will praise you a few times first, and then criticize you a few times.
"Xiao'e!" Shang Quan shook his head, "Father, let's take a look at this matter."
Shang'e said calmly: "It's good if he has hands and feet. It's better if he is honest. As for the other things, I don't think about it."
She is twenty-seven, and according to the doctors, she will not be able to give birth if she is older.
Moreover, this home belongs to Adi, and she has been staying at home. Although no one despises her, what can she do?
When her father passes away in the future, will it be bad luck for Adi and his family to see her? Will it be troublesome?
It's hard to speculate on people's hearts, but in her situation, it's always right to think of the worst.
It's already bad enough. If you want to be more bad, if it actually happens in the future, then you have to be prepared.
The matchmaker nodded, "My wife is thinking very grandly, but let me say something here..."
She looked at Shang Quan and his daughter and said seriously: "This is really a good marriage. You will naturally come to thank me in the future, Mr. Shang."
"Who is that person?" Shang Quan became more and more curious.
The matchmaker smiled and said, "I'm sorry I can't say it before it happens."
"Then... let's take a look first?" Shang Quan said, "No matter how much we talk, it's better to meet in person."
"I'm here, that's what I mean." The matchmaker looked confident.
Shang'e's heart was as peaceful as an ancient well, still the same as before.
The appointed day was the morning of the next day.
Shang Quan handed over the business to his son and stayed at home.
Before the agreed time, the matchmaker's laughter came.
"Shang Gong!"
"I'm here!"
Shang Quan stood on the steps with a reserved smile.
The matchmaker comes in first.
"Where are the people?" Shang Quan asked.
Then, he was stunned for a moment.
The light projected in the door was suddenly blocked.
