Chapter 520: The Cannon Fodder Cousin of the Male Protagonist of the Imperial Examination Paper (42) (Additional update for Jiu Wuxin~)

After Sikong rested enough, he said goodbye and left, saying that he was going to see his master.

The old guy is hiding somewhere to drink again. It's not that he is afraid of something happening to him. Apart from him, no one is the opponent of Qianji Pavilion Xiaoyao Weng.

What he is afraid of is that the old guy gets drunk and gets others to brag. After bragging, he likes to be praised by others. He is happy when he is praised. He forgets about it and allows a lot of favors. In the end, he, the apprentice, has to come forward to pay back. Tired.

Seeing him leave, Xu Yin felt relieved and a little melancholy.

But if he is really "him", then we will definitely see each other again in the future, so we simply don't have to worry about it.

 She summoned the housekeeper and explained to him the real reason why her parents were killed.

 After hearing this, the old housekeeper was shocked and angry.

His son went to visit the grave of the old man and his wife. He once wanted to run into her and die in front of her grave, using his life as an apology. I just thought that the girl was the only master in the house. If he left, Kui'er would go back to his biological parents. The girl wouldn't even have a trustworthy errand boy by her side, so how could she rest assured.

So he secretly swore in front of the master's and his wife's grave: to keep him alive, to protect the girl for the rest of his life, and never to let anything happen to the girl again, nor to let anything happen to the Xu family again. If he breaks this oath, he is willing to be struck by five thunders from heaven. boom.

 Unexpectedly, the death of the master and his wife had nothing to do with Kuier.

"It was only because Qizhen Pavilion's business was booming and they suspected that the head of the Xu family was a disciple of Prince Rui's Mansion and was making money for Prince Rui's Mansion that they hired people from the world to kill the master and his wife? How could there be such a vicious person in this world? Or was the emperor... before? Where is the emperor! Fortunately, he passed away. If not, the old slave would have wanted to hire knights and knights to assassinate him!"

  “…” You are right!

　　After talking about it, the old housekeeper felt relieved and cheered up again.

"Girl, the old slave has been out for a long time. He has to go back. Otherwise, those boys and girls will start to hide away again when they see that no one is taking care of them."

Xu Yin thought for a while and said, "I'll go back with you! Anyway, we have already come up with a charter. Whoever comes to propose marriage should first ask if they are willing to marry. If not, then there is no need to discuss it. If you are willing... I have to have seen it. People, let’s examine them for a while. In short, we don’t want anyone with poor character, low emotional intelligence, ugly appearance, or incompetence.”

 The housekeeper was a little dizzy: "..." Can you still find it?

However, he has confidence in his girl. The girl has both good looks and outstanding talents. Naturally, when recruiting a husband, she must find a husband who is well-matched to her. Think about the few idle young men in the Lu family and the Liang family who are also worthy of proposing the girl's hand in marriage! If this were to happen, wouldn’t it be like putting flowers on cow dung?

 After returning home, the housekeeper took the girl's words and sent them to the matchmakers who came to the house.

 “What? Miss Xu wants to find a wife?”

 “You still have so many requirements for asking for a wife?”

Several matchmakers looked at each other.

 It seems that Xu Mansion is clearly rejecting them.

Then I'm afraid the marriage won't come to an agreement.

 So he went back and informed his respective employers truthfully.

The other families heard that the Xu Mansion was planning to recruit a bride. Apart from regretting that they could not marry Xu Yin, they had no other thoughts. After all, the Xu Mansion only had Xu Yin as its owner, and she was a girl. They had some expectations before coming to propose marriage, and they were afraid that Yes, they will recruit wives.     The reason why I still send a matchmaker to propose marriage is just to try my luck. What if it happens? Wouldn’t the huge Xu Mansion belong to our own family? If you don't get lucky, you can only give up.

Only the Lu Mansion and the Liang Mansion probably felt that they were on equal terms with the Xu Mansion, and their willingness to find a matchmaker to propose marriage was already giving the Xu Mansion face, otherwise an orphan girl would not be able to bully her as much as she wanted. They tried their best to show their dignity, but Xu Mansion refused with such a reason. Wasn't it shameless?

The two families were so angry that they hired a group of women who were good at making troubles and gathered at the gate of Xu's house to curse in the street. The curses were very unpleasant.

When the steward heard Xu Xingdaoming passing by, he was so angry that he came out to chase him away.

Mother-in-laws, after receiving the money, naturally refuse to leave until they have completed the tasks assigned by their employer. What if they want to take the money back after leaving?

So he just stayed on the ground and said all kinds of dirty words.

The old housekeeper was angry and anxious, worried that it would be bad for the girl's reputation if the news spread, so he explained to the onlookers:

"These shrews come from nowhere and slander my girl. My girl has been a mourner for the master and his wife for three years. She just gave birth to her filial piety at the beginning of this year. She has not yet considered life-long matters. These people always say that my girl has a romantic interest. It’s just too much of a lie!”

These women shouted: "Don't listen to him. He is a servant of the Xu Mansion, so he naturally speaks good things for the Xu Mansion. If there is really no matchmaker, how come the matchmaker sends them away as soon as they come to the house? Those who come to propose marriage. But they all come with good intentions and sincerity.”

The housekeeper glared at them and said to the onlookers: "To tell you the truth, the girl is the only master in the house now. The girl decided to raise a bride to support the family. None of the families who came to propose marriage were willing to marry. How can you blame my girl? On the head?"

 The passers-by onlookers nodded:

"That's true! Miss Xu is the only master left in the Xu family. If she gets married, it will be awkward to have no master in the future house! Can we just watch the ancestral family business and incense be cut off like this?"

“If it were me, I would hire a wife. Why would you marry into your husband’s family and suffer the consequences if you have money? How many good mothers-in-law are there in the world? They are all bad mothers-in-law who have been married for thirty years. They think about teasing their daughters-in-law all day long.”

“That’s right! Isn’t it good to recruit a son-in-law and be the master of the family?”

Seeing the passers-by onlookers speaking for Xu Mansion on one side, several employed women saw that the situation was wrong, clapped their thighs and shouted:

"Nonsense! How can anyone be willing to be a son-in-law to the Xu family just by recruiting a bride? But ask this old man, is this what he said to the matchmaker? He also made many requests that no one can fulfill."

The passers-by asked the steward if he had any other requests.

The housekeeper proudly puffed up his chest and said, "My girl is very kind, talented, and has unparalleled looks. What's the matter with making a few requests for a wife? A girl is kind-hearted, so she naturally wants her husband to have good character; a girl who has both talent and beauty, naturally wants her to marry her. Even if you are not a talented person, you must not be illiterate, and even if you are not a good-looking man, you must not be too ugly. As a girl inherits the inheritance of her ancestors on her own, she naturally does not want to find a libertine who has no ability and just takes advantage of the family's wealth. These requirements are handled by the host who hired you. If you can’t do it, it doesn’t mean that no good man in this world can do it!”

"well said!"

A drunken white-haired old man squeezed out of the crowd, holding a large wine gourd in his arms and giving a thumbs up to the steward.

“There are many young, promising, handsome and good men in this world, and I have one at my knees. Come, come, come! I will sign up for my apprentice who is as beautiful as a tree and has strong martial arts skills.”

The housekeeper didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: "Big brother, are you drunk? Our house is recruiting a son-in-law, not a nursing home."

 “Hi! It’s all the same.” The old man burped from wine and insisted on signing up for his apprentice to be the son-in-law of the Xu family.
