Chapter 273 The vicious female partner escapes to farm (23) (Third update, please vote for me!)
Two days later, Chen Mancang brought a stranger to his home.
“Brother Hero, this is Mr. Luo who sent us the last batch of relief food. He said he has something to ask you.”
Xu Yin invited people to sit in the room.
Luo Mingliang took a look at the simple but warm cabin, stroked his beard and said with a smile:
“I didn’t expect that my little brother is not only brave and resourceful, but also knows how to live. He is a good man who can run a household and live a good life!”
Xu Yin: “…”
Is this a compliment or a criticism?
"Haha! Luo got straight to the point. It's like this. Our wife heard that the hero brothers were not yet married, so she sent me to come and make peace. My wife's niece is already in her hair. If my brother is interested, we can send a matchmaker to our door in the near future to arrange marriage. Madam wants you to escape here, so she will help you prepare the betrothal gifts and other necessary items."
Xu Yin was dumbfounded.
Pick your ears, is that what she understands?
The county magistrate’s wife wants to betroth her natal niece to her?
Chen Mancang on the side couldn't help but be happy for her: "No wonder I went up the mountain this morning and heard the chirping of magpies. I bet it's a happy event for our heroic brothers!"
Xu Yin: “…”
Where did the magpie come from in Chaishan! You have caught all the sparrows!
Mother! Is it too late for her to change back to women's clothing and remove her [Universal Voice Actor]?
“Brothers of heroes? Brothers of heroes?”
Xu Yin was brought back to her senses. She sighed in her heart and lied: "Thanks to Madam for looking up to me, but to be honest with you two, I have already been engaged in my hometown."
“Are you engaged?”
Upon hearing this, Mr. Luo felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and he might not be able to complete the task entrusted to him by his wife.
“Is it possible that the future in-laws of the heroic brothers are not from Tongxing Prefecture?”
“He is from Tongxingfu.”
"Then why don't we see you all fleeing the famine together? Or is it that your in-law's family has never been affected by the disaster? Then we should take our heroic brothers over."
Xu Yin: “…”
She knew that telling a lie required countless lies, and her head was about to explode.
“Brother? Are there guests at home?”
Erlang came back from the door holding his treasure, the self-made Lao Huangli. When he saw a stranger, he led his third sister and stood beside Xu Yin obediently.
Xu Yin took this opportunity to think of an excuse and said to Master Luo: "At that time, there was chaos in the city and outside the city, and then the city gate was closed. I tried every means but failed to get in touch with them, so I had to take my younger brothers and sisters to the east. Find shelter in Xuanfu. Erlang and Sanmei are young and cannot live without people around them. We can only wait for my eldest brother to come back from Beiguan in the next year to find them."
After finishing speaking, before Master Luo could speak, he added: "The hero appreciates Madam's good intentions, but the matchmaker's instructions are given by his parents, and the marriage arranged by the elders in the family cannot be ignored, so I have troubled you to make this trip in vain. "
When it came to this matter, Mr. Luo knew that it would be useless to talk more, so he said goodbye after a few pleasantries.
Before leaving, he accidentally saw the old almanac in Erlang's hand and took it over to look at it curiously.
At this sight, I was fascinated.
When he learned that Xu Yin had made it himself, he asked her to borrow it.
Erlang: “…”
Come back—that’s mine! !
But that’s the master.
In his opinion, all the people in the yamen are high-ranking officials, and he dare not act presumptuously.
“Woo woo woo…”
After the master and others left, he squatted on the ground and cried while wiping his tears.
Xu Yin tried not to laugh out loud.
The heart says it should be! I asked you to keep it at home and read one page every morning when you were learning to read, but then you ran around with it, and now someone might have robbed it.
That night, I made his favorite fried eggs with sauce, and promised to help him make another one when I had time, which made the kid laugh so hard.
“Brother Hero!” Shi Fengnian came to the door in a hurry after dinner, “Are you engaged in your hometown?”
“…” This matter cannot be revealed, can it?
“Why do you ask?”
“Uncle Mancang came back and said, was it your parents who promised you a marriage when they were still alive? But even though they are in Tongxing Fucheng, they didn’t take you three brothers and sisters over. This is obviously a gross deception! It’s okay not to want such an in-law family!”
Xu Yin: Daqing is here to fight for herself.
I couldn’t laugh or cry at once: “Don’t listen to the wind and it will be rain.”
"Isn't it? According to me, hero, you are young and promising, wise and courageous. As long as you are willing, there are many girls who are willing to marry you as your wife. If you look down on others' in-laws, you don't want to!"
“Yes, yes, yes.” Xu Yin nodded perfunctorily along with his words.
"You think so too? Actually...actually..." Shi Fengnian scratched his head, "My cousin...is in love with you..."
“Pfft—cough cough cough cough!”
Xu Yin choked on her tea.
Erlang really wanted to push Shi Fengnian out of the house. He stamped his feet angrily: "Brother Fengnian, don't talk nonsense. My brother is married."
"Okay, okay, I didn't know that before. Not only my cousin, but also many girls like you, brother hero! As soon as the news of your marriage spread, my mother said that those girls hid under the covers and cried..."
…”
From now on, when you go out, will you have to avoid women of the same age?
Yaoshou!
This was something she never expected.
There are even more unexpected things...
The next day, the wife of the village chief of Ping'ao Village came to Xu Yin's door with a gift in both hands to kiss her. She was talking about her niece from her natal family.
Xu Yin almost wanted to kneel down to her: Please let her go!
She regretted disguising herself as a man.
In this world, it’s not easy to be a woman, and it’s not easy to be a man either!
Mrs. Li Chang was also surprised and regretful when she heard that she was getting married in her hometown.
“My benefactor, this is such a pity! I thought I could become a family with my benefactor, and we could come and go often in the future!”
"It's okay, it's okay. Even if we can't be a family, we can still come and go often." Xu Yin gritted her teeth and socialized.
Even though the marriage didn't work out, it didn't stop Mrs. Li Chang from liking Xu Yin, and she also saved her grandson, so she insisted on not taking the gift back, and would fall out if she asked her to take it back.
Xu Yin: “…”
Did you learn this trick from yourself?
In any case, the house was really busy during this period.
It would be better if I didn't come to kiss her.
"Hero brother, why do you think you are so popular? I have reached the age of marrying a wife, why haven't I seen any matchmakers coming to my door?" Shi Fengnian complained to her depressedly.
Erlang was a brat and made a face at him: "Because my brother is handsome, smart, and a martial arts master!"
“…” Shi Fengnian felt like he had been shot countless times in his knees.
Let’s talk about the county magistrate. My original impression of Xu Yin was that of a famine-stricken refugee with great strength and some knowledge of pharmacology. Now, he has been promoted to a capable person worthy of friendship.
Wen can draw an almanac that contains many contents, and a worker can build a waterwheel that can run water automatically without manpower. Isn’t this considered talent?
The county magistrate, who was eager for talents, wanted to recruit her to his side more than once.
With such a capable person at your side, why worry about not having a chance to rise to the top?
It’s a pity that Xu Yingxiong’s ambition is not to seek an official position, but to farm.
Thinking about what Xu Yin said at the time, "Farming is good," the county magistrate couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Many elders who have had a bumpy journey into the world may have the desire to live in seclusion, but how come Xu Yingxiong, a young descendant, is so indifferent to fame and wealth? What a weirdo!
