Xianggong is a big man in men's clothing

Mrs. Zhang was dizzy, and felt for the first time that she had fewer girls than before, and it was not enough.

Her second daughter has a reputation of being unclean, and the decent people in the village don't look down on her at all. Before, Landlord Liu came to propose marriage, which is already a great thing in the sky.

But today, even the village chief's precious nephew came, unpretentiously carrying a big tiger as a dowry gift.

this tiger...

The surrounding villagers also heard what he said just now, and there was an uproar immediately, and the voices of chattering were chaotic.

Zhang's ears only caught what he wanted to hear, but even so, he was shocked enough.

There was a well-informed old man who was standing on the ground beside the dead tiger and circled around. His dim eyes sparkled, and he said excitedly: "This tiger has no scars on its body, and its fur is intact. If you send it to Si In Yuan County, the skin and flesh are separated, the tiger skin alone is worth 30 taels of silver, if you go farther and sell it in the state capital, it might be worth 50 taels of silver."

"This is an adult tiger. It looks like it weighs three or four hundred catties. Not to mention the tiger skin, the tiger meat alone can be sold for a lot of money. Not to mention, I've never eaten it at my age. As for tiger meat, it is said that it is a great tonic, and the Yuanwai masters in Siyuan County can’t buy it if they want to eat it. If they are sold at Yuanwai’s Mansion, they will definitely be willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.”

"Besides, tigers have tiger whips and tiger bones that can be used as medicine and wine. If they are sent to a pharmacy to make medicinal wine, it will be worth more than the most expensive peach blossom wine sold in restaurants."

……

Mrs. Zhang swallowed with a groan, just now she felt scary when she saw the tiger, but now she only thinks the tiger is cute and cute.

In her mind, she weighed the 50 taels of silver and the dowry gift of a cow from Landlord Liu against the big tiger in front of her on both sides of the scale. Obviously, the big tiger won.

However, Landlord Liu has spoken first, and his family has a great career, so she must not offend her.

However, if the evil star in front of her didn't agree to the other party's marriage proposal, maybe the other party would get angry and kill herself as easily as killing this big tiger.

She was trembling with fear, and couldn't help but take two steps back. She was afraid that the other party would violently hurt others. When the words of rejection came to her lips, she couldn't utter them. She stammered uncomfortably: "This, this..."

Before she could say anything, the village head and his party hurried over.

The village chief came in a hurry along the way, and when he arrived at the place, he was still panting, Qi Zhongyu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, but he gave him a hard look instead.

If it wasn't for the villagers watching the commotion and going around talking about it, their son found out about it, and the son went home and told him, he wouldn't even know that his nephew Qi Zhongyu went to Lu's house to propose marriage.

He had just passed his fiftieth birthday yesterday, and he drank too much wine when he was happy, and today he was groggy, lying on the rocking chair in the yard to enjoy the cool.

When he learned that his precious nephew was carrying a big tiger to someone's house to propose marriage, he couldn't sit still anymore.

He hurriedly asked his son to help him up, took his old wife with him, and hurriedly walked to Lu's house.

He originally complained to his nephew for hiding such an important matter from him. If it wasn't for the great commotion, he probably would not know about it until the marriage was settled.

But the complaints came and went quickly, and immediately turned into pure surprise.

He has been worrying about the marriage of his brother's only son for a long time, but his nephew's stubborn temper is exactly the same as that of his brother back then. If he is determined not to get married, it will be difficult for anyone to talk.

Even for the sake of excuses, only those fools in the village would believe him if he spoke nonsense that he was not good at.

He had asked a doctor with excellent medical skills to check his nephew's pulse. The doctor had never diagnosed any hidden diseases in his nephew, and said that his nephew was healthier than the average young man, with a strong pulse and deep internal energy. He must be a powerful man. figure.

Can it be great?

He proudly thought that that was his brother's son, and also his Qi Changle's nephew!

But this nephew has too many eccentricities, and it is a headache for him to get along with him.

He said he couldn't get married, and he couldn't force him to marry a wife, so he could only persuade him verbally, but the other party obeyed on the surface, but in fact, he could do whatever he wanted, and he was as stubborn as a stubborn rock in Yue Nanshan.

As time passed, he gave up and began to accept the reality that his nephew would never get married, and he even planned a way out for his nephew in advance.

Unexpectedly, this kid would be silent, and when he saw the girl, he would go to the mountains and kill a tiger without telling himself first, and then he would go to the door of the girl's house to kiss her in a foolish manner.

This... How could this marriage proposal come to the door in person?Don't they always ask the matchmaker or the elders in the family to come forward?

He felt helpless and funny, but he couldn't ignore his nephew's marriage, so he hurried over with his old wife and son, so as to make a scene for his nephew and complete the matter of proposing marriage.

It was also fortunate that he came, he was a fine person, he could see the hesitation on Zhang's face at a glance, and knew that there might be twists and turns in this marriage.

However, this is not a place to talk, there are so many idlers waiting here, waiting to watch the excitement.

He winked at his old wife, who has been married to him for many years and has a deep relationship. She immediately understood what he meant, walked up to Zhang with a smile and said, "Daughter-in-law of the Lu family, my juniors are ignorant, so I hope you don't take offense." The matter of marriage is naturally up to us, the elders, to decide. If you don't mind, can you go to the house and discuss it in detail?"

Mrs. Zhang nodded hurriedly. In her opinion, the village head is the biggest official in Yuehe Village, and he has a very good reputation. Even the county magistrate of Siyuan County respects him a lot. There are often nobles in the village with carriages. , rushed to the village chief's house to visit.

It is also an honor for ordinary people like them in Yuehe Village to have such a respected village chief.

Over the years, the villagers have obeyed the arrangement of the village head and avoided many disasters. The head of the village and the county magistrate have never felt sorry for them again. As long as there are no natural disasters, their lives will be more leisurely.

What's more, the village head is still the second uncle of the evil star who beat the tiger. Although the evil star is terrifying, he obeys the village chief. Even if the marriage fails, the village chief can restrain the evil star from doing anything to her.

She breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the village chief's wife as if seeing a savior, and said, "It should be so, madam, please come in."

Seeing that they couldn't see the excitement, the villagers couldn't help but hey a few times in dissatisfaction, but when the village chief's sharp eyes swept over them, they didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, she rolled her eyes at the villagers who were watching the joke, and warmly invited the village head's wife into the yard to talk in detail.

Seeing this, Lu Dongfu lowered her eyes and opened the courtyard door. When the village head's wife strayed into the courtyard, she took a look at her and said with a smile, "What a symbolic girl, Lu's daughter-in-law taught her well."

Mrs. Zhang was praised by the village head's wife, and she was so happy that she could not close her mouth from ear to ear, and hurriedly led the village head's wife into the main room and sat down.

The village head was also supported by his son and Qi Zhongyu, and followed them into the door. He didn't go into the main room, but stood in the yard, signaling Qi Zhongyu to move the big tiger outside the door, while he himself stared at the second girl of the Lu family curiously. Look up and down, as if watching some spectacle.

Lu Dongfu was very guilty, because it was said that she obtained this marriage by improper means.

After Qi Zhongyu moved the tiger into the courtyard, she closed the courtyard door casually, which also blocked the sight of the villagers looking for it.

She bowed respectfully and went to the kitchen to prepare tea for the guests.

When she was boiling the water, Mrs. Zhang walked in suddenly and said, "Go to your third uncle's house and call your father and younger brother back. By the way, ask your third uncle to borrow some tea and wine."

After she gave her orders, she hurried back to the main room.

Lu Dongfu's third uncle's house is not far from here. She took out some firewood and heated the hot water in the pot with a small fire.

Before they reached the gate of the courtyard, Lu Bei and Lu Chengcai rushed back after hearing the news. He was thoughtful for a rare time, with a box of snacks and two jugs of wine in his hand. Throwing it to her, he quickly went to the main room to entertain the distinguished guest of the village chief.

On the other hand, Lu Chengcai looked at the big tiger in the yard in surprise, and murmured, "It's actually real. This is the first time I've seen a real tiger when I grow up."

After all, he was a ten-year-old child, he couldn't walk when he saw a tiger, and he didn't dare to get too close, watching the big tiger circle around anxiously.

Lu Dongfu didn't want to see him, so she turned around and went to the kitchen to add firewood, unpacked the snack boxes, and arranged them neatly on the plate.

She took out tea from the cabinet again. This tea was the scented tea she bought by chance when she went to the pharmacy in the county not long ago. It was not worth much, and it was a bit shabby to entertain a distinguished guest like the village chief. Such things, based on her understanding of the village head, the other party would not mind.

She felt dazed and uneasy, but her movements were nimble, and after a while, she brought tea and snacks and sent them to the main room.

The family background of the Lu family can only be considered average in Yuehe Village, so the area inside the main room is not large. There is only a round table for eating and a few round stools. At this moment, the village chief and his wife are sitting on the left side of the round table, standing behind them. Qi Zhongyu and the village head's son are sitting on the right, and Zhang and Lu Bei are sitting on the right.

Lu Bei has a temperament that can't be supported by the wall. After seeing the village chief, he has been timid and timid, and dare not say a word.

Mrs. Zhang was sharp-tongued, and after the initial fear passed, she happily chatted with the village chief's wife.

I don't know what the village head's wife said to Mrs. Zhang. After Lu Dongfu put down the tea and snacks, she heard Mrs. Zhang happily say, "That's really great. If the village head comes forward to discuss with Landlord Liu, the other party will surely agree. If you understand our family's difficulties and won't embarrass us, this marriage will come true."

The wife of the village chief took the tea gently, smiled at Lu Dongfu, and said, "In this case, it is better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Let's first settle the marriage between my nephew Qi Zhongyu and your daughter Lu Erya." , you also know that my nephew is now 25 or [-] years old, men of his age in the village have already married and had children, and they have given birth to several children."

"His body is actually quite healthy. It's just that when he was young, he met a quack doctor and told him that he had such a problem. My nephew is also an upright person. He actually believed it so until my husband went to the state capital and invited a famous doctor to give it to me. Nephew's diagnosis, only to find that not only does he not have that hidden disease, but he is also healthier than the average person, you can see this from the dead tiger in the yard."

Zhang's embarrassment, originally thought it was the wife of the village head who said good things to her nephew, but when the other party mentioned the tiger, she immediately believed it.

The wife of the village chief sighed, and said: "Unfortunately, the bad news seems to have grown legs. Before we realized it, everyone in the village knew about it. Alas, my nephew... is also completely disheartened." Feeling cold."

"Fortunately, he was lucky enough to meet your girl and thought of getting married. His parents died young and he traveled alone for more than 20 years. Those of us who are elders feel sorry for him and want him to get married as soon as possible. A caring person who knows warmth and warmth will take care of her, so my husband will be able to fulfill his greatest regret."

These words are very pleasant, although they are essentially urging marriage, they are a hundred times more pleasant than Nanny Li's blunt words at the beginning.

Mrs. Zhang nodded, followed by a sigh of emotion, and asked, "Of course, I don't know when Madam wants to set the wedding date? My family can actively cooperate."

The village head's wife pondered for a moment, turned her eyes around Qi Zhongyu and Lu Dongfu, and said with a smile: "Hurry up sooner rather than later, there happens to be a good day at the end of the month. If you don't mind, let's make it five days later."

"This..." Zhang's eyes widened. She knew that the other party was anxious, but she didn't expect to be so anxious!

With a wedding held every five days, it is estimated that the busy people in the Lu family will be thrown off their feet.

The village head's wife frowned and said softly, "Why, is it difficult?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head like a rattle, and hurriedly said: "No trouble, no trouble at all, the wedding date is set in five days."

The village head's wife smiled in satisfaction and said, "As for the specific details of the wedding, I will send my daughter-in-law to discuss with you later. Now that the marriage is over, our two families will become in-laws. You don't have to be so polite with me."

Mrs. Zhang was so excited that she almost jumped up from her stool, and married the wife of the village head, which sounds much better than Landlord Liu's in-laws.

They just decided on Lu Dongfu's life-long event so simply. Lu Dongfu froze on the spot, slow to realize: It's done, she has done it, she doesn't need to marry Landlord Liu as a concubine, and she will soon be able to leave this land. Selfish home.

Qi Zhongyu, she was silently chanting this name in her heart, and she didn't even hear what the village head's wife said to Mrs. Zhang afterwards.
