Volume 2, Chapter 120: The Matchmaker

Ling Yue really forgot that Dongming Ziyu had a very down-to-earth name here, and was a little confused.

Erhu came over with a handful of granola, put it into the basket in Ling Yue's hand, and said, "Siya, your father's name is Dong Youfu."

Not far away, Sanya and Shiro ran over and looked at this strange woman warily, "Who are you? What do you want from my fourth uncle?"

Chen Yueyue, Gao Liugen and Zhou Lidong, who were digging wild vegetables in the distance, saw something happening here and ran over.

Ling Yue wanted to eat wild vegetable dumplings, so Shangguan Ruoli's disciples came out to help dig wild vegetables.

The middle-aged woman didn't expect that just after she said a word, so many children would gather around her. Her eyes flickered a little, and she laughed dryly and said, "It's nothing. I'm the Ice Man, and I'm here to find Dongfu."

Zhou Lidong wondered: "What is the Iceman?"

Sanya said: "It's the matchmaker!"

These days, many matchmakers have come to the house, and Sanya knows the various names of matchmakers.

Shiro took a look at the woman and said: "You don't look like a matchmaker! Those matchmakers all wear red and green clothes, and they swing them with a small handkerchief. You are dressed so ordinary, and you are carrying a broken basket, and your eyes are dripping.

Turn around, not like a good person."

Zhou Lidong said: "Aren't you a matchmaker? Come on, we will take you to find your fourth uncle!"

Among Shangguan Ruoli's six disciples, Zhou Lidong is the oldest, thirteen years old, and the most stable.

Shiro's eyes turned slightly and said: "Yes, my grandma said that there is no matchmaker, so go home."

The woman dodged her eyes guiltily and said with a smile: "I am an ice man, but today I am not here to talk about matchmaking, I am here to visit relatives. Come back another day, come another day!"

After saying that, he turned around and left in a hurry.

Zhou Lidong said to the youngest Gao Liugen: "Follow her secretly to see whose relative she is."

Seven-year-old Gao Liugen was very smart. He ducked into the sorghum field that was half a man's height and ran towards the west of the village.

After a while, she ran back out of breath and said eloquently: "There's something wrong! That woman didn't go to the house at all. She walked around in the alley and left the village!"

Ling Yue picked up the basket and said, "Go back and tell my parents!"

Several children ran home carrying baskets and tools.

Shangguan Ruoli was helping to inspect the dried fruits that the "subcontractors" had gone out to pick out nuts. When he saw a group of children running back with panic-stricken expressions, he straightened up and asked, "What happened?"

Ling Yue took a breath and explained the matter, while the other children added explanations.

Mrs. Qian was frightened when she heard this and said: "From now on, don't separate when you go out. Find an adult to follow you!"

The person who came to hand over the dried nuts also said: "That person must be here to cause trouble. Everyone should be careful. It's always good to be careful!"

"Don't be a flower photographer, right?"

"It doesn't look like that. How does the flower photographer know Dong Laosi's name?"

"He must be here to do bad things!"

"If a stranger approaches our Dongzhou family, we must be vigilant and don't let anyone in casually!"

Mrs. Qian said: "When you go back, tell your children to follow the adults when you go out and don't be left alone."

Everyone had fled the famine and knew how to guard against the enemy. They all took precautions without Dong Chunlei coming forward.

The children followed the adults when they went out, and people took turns watching the front and back gates. Ling Yue and Wu Lang also followed Shangguan Ruoli or Dongming Ziyu when they went out.

At the end of the month, Dongming Ziyu went to the jade mine in the mountain to pay Shangguan Ruoli for treating the people in the mine. He had to go to Su Changgeng first to reconcile the account and sign.

The injured are usually workers, and the workers are under the control of Su Changgeng. Therefore, before settling the bill, he must first confirm and sign.

Su Changgeng glanced at Dongming Ziyu, with a flash of jealousy in his eyes.

Dongming Ziyu has been studying and practicing martial arts in space these days. His skin has become whiter and his body has gained muscle. He is no longer skinny and skinny, and his good looks are revealed. He is handsome and charming.

Su Changgeng didn't understand how a refugee who fled famine could be so good-looking and so powerful! The key is that he has a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law!

The most irritating thing is that every time I come to him to check the accounts and calculate the money, I don’t even bring snacks. I just come with two hands empty. I don’t understand anything!

Dongming Ziyu opened the account book, put it in front of him, and said with neither humility nor arrogance: "Manager Su, please check the signature."

Su Changgeng smiled slightly, closed the account book, pressed his hand on the account book, looked at him sideways, and said: "No hurry, let's have a chat."

A cold light flashed in Dongming Ziyu's eyes, "Manager Su, please speak!"

Su Changgeng smiled and said: "I told your wife last time that I wanted to add a daughter to you as a matchmaker. Did your wife tell you?"

Dongming Ziyu said: "I told you, my daughter is still young, so we won't talk about marriage now. Besides, she has so many brothers and sisters in front of her who haven't decided yet, so it's not her turn."

Su Changgeng said: "That's right. I didn't think carefully. How about your eldest daughter and second daughter? I have a good family here."

Dongming Ziyu narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Where are you from?"

Su Changgeng said with a smile: "We are from the county town. The other party is a scholar named Ding Wenbin. My parents run a small embroidery shop. Although they are not a wealthy family, they are living a good life."

Moreover, Ding Wenbin has outstanding literary talents, and he will be selected as a scholar in the future. In the future, when you are officials in the same court, you can also help each other and be a helper."

Dongming Ziyu asked: "If he is so kind, he must look down on us poor people."

Su Changgeng's smile was slightly dry, "His wife died of illness the year before last, leaving behind a son and a daughter. However, the children are taken care of by the old man, so there is no need for the new wife to worry."

Dongming Ziyu's eyes were slightly stern and he said: "Da Ya, Er Ya don't know how to fill a house for others, thank you very much, Manager Su."

Su Changgeng's face darkened, "What's wrong with filling in a house? Ding Xiucai has a bright future. Don't be so short-sighted and delay your niece's good marriage. How about this? You go back and discuss it with the old man, the old lady and your second brother and sister-in-law."

one time."

"No need to say it! My whole family won't agree." Dongming Ziyu didn't leave any face or steps for him.

Su Changgeng's face turned red with anger, he patted the account book and said coldly: "Keep the account book, I will check it when I have time."

Dongming Ziyu said: "Since you are not free, I will come again next time."

As he said that, he reached for the account book.

Su Changgeng held on to the account book and squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Are you looking down on me?"

Dongming Ziyu pinched his wrist, slowly applied force, and said softly: "I just got my account book back."

Su Changgeng felt that his wrist was about to be crushed, so he had to let go and said angrily: "You dare to attack the imperial official? Don't forget, if you take the imperial examination, your reputation and character will be investigated."

Dongming Ziyu opened the account book and said calmly: "On your own, you can't confuse right and wrong. I advise you, don't shoot yourself in the foot."

With that said, he put the account book on the table, took his thumb and pressed it on the cinnabar box, pressed it on the account book, and walked away.

It was too fast, too overbearing. It took Su Changgeng a long time to react, and he was trembling angrily, "Okay, okay, you wait!"
