auspicious time has come

Chapter 20 Beauty Pass

Xiao Mu: "If Jiang's matchmaker finds it embarrassing—"

"No embarrassment, no embarrassment!" Jiang's matchmaker hurriedly interrupted Xiao Mu's words, and said with a smile: "Adult marriage is a matter of Iceman's duty, and now the sage has just issued the "Marriage and Engagement Auspicious Time Edict", not to mention You are all heroes who defended your country! It is my honor to be a matchmaker for you!"

Xiao Mu nodded, and said in a very friendly tone, "Then I'll be fine."

As he said that, he looked at a group of soldiers: "Report your surname and age one by one—"

Several people were beating drums in their hearts.

The general is serious?
Could it be that this is the rumored saying "It's better to be alone than to be happy alone"?

Although he had doubts in his heart, but the general's words were military orders, Wang Jingyong stood upright, expressionless and loudly said: "Wang Jingyong, 23!"

"My name is Meng Dazhu, I'm nineteen this year!"

Heng Yu heard the words and looked at the round-faced boy.

Meng Dazhu...

It was him.

"My lord, Liu Xun, has reached the age of 25."

"Disciple Yin Hai, is this year, either 21 or [-], I can't remember clearly." Yin Hai smiled and raised his hand: "Forgive me."

"My subordinates are strict, three out of twenty."

"Strictly upright, I just passed my 51st birthday the day before yesterday."

Hearing this sentence, the five people in front turned their heads to look at the old military adviser who was smiling like a chrysanthemum—really repay?

Yan Ming looked at his father with complicated eyes, always felt that his father didn't seem to cooperate with the general, but really wanted to marry a wife...

Jiang's official media smiled reluctantly.

51 years old?
As we all know, it is not called a birthday, but a birthday, okay?

And that guy named Yin Hai, who hangs Buddhist beads and claims to be a disciple, what the hell is going on?

Swallowing the bitterness in his heart, Jiang's official media said with a smile: "You are all heroes, don't worry about not finding a good marriage, leave this matter to me, the general can just rest assured."

When a military report came, Xiao Mu quickly left the front hall.

Meng Dazhu followed him out of the hall door, seeing Jiji who was guarding outside the hall, a simple and honest smile appeared on his dark complexioned face, there was a trace of apology in this smile, it was all a greeting and a stop to that day I apologize.

Gigi's eyes widened.

Isn't this the blocker I met in Youzhou before? How could it be here!
Looking at the general followed by the round-faced boy, Jiji was even more astonished.

When her daughter finished talking with Mrs. Xiao, she came out of the hall and went to the residence arranged by the waiting mansion, Jiji hurriedly lowered her voice and said, "Girl, it turns out that General Xiao is that Mr. Xiao Lang!"

No wonder she was familiar with the portraits sold in the city!
Hengyu didn't understand for a while, and after reacting for a while, he said, "The Xiao Langjun you met in Guangping County before?"

"Exactly! The servant girl just saw it clearly!"

Heng Yu was quite surprised.

Therefore, the Youzhou government office sent the physical evidence in time, was it actually General Xiao's order?

She thought that the identity of "Mr. Xiao Lang" must not be simple, but she never thought that it would be Xiao Mu, Marquis of Dingbei...

Youzhou is still nearly a thousand miles away from Yingzhou.

"The majestic Marquis of Dingbei, and the Jiedushi who is in charge of the military power in the north, even personally asked about such a trivial matter, but he is really responsive like a god everywhere..." Jiji was still shocked. .

Heng Yu nodded in agreement, and asked seriously: "Then why don't we put up this general's statue as well?"

She just heard that this General Xiao won another battle, and it was a big victory of defeating the enemy without fighting...

It is said in the book that a hundred battles are victorious, and it is not goodness that is good.A soldier who subdues without fighting, a good man who is good——

Therefore, if this battle of Qianqiu City is recorded in the history books as it is, this General Xiao will be called a great benefactor.

The great benevolent people who took back the six cities in three years, um... The storytellers in central Beijing think they have new books to write.

Regardless of whether Hengyu posted Xiao Mu's god statue, for the next two days, she was busy taking portraits of Wang Jingyong and others, and from time to time, she could always see the despair on the face of Jiang Meiguan.

Afterwards, Jiang’s matchmaker went to the local official media yamen in Yingzhou, and asked for a book of beauties of unmarried women in Yingzhou. Pick some out... I heard that General Xiao just returned home, I'll go see him first!"

As he said that, he took the two assistants with a smile on his face and went to look for Xiao Mu.

Xiao Mu had just finished treating the wound in the study, and was listening to Wang Jingyong's report: "There is indeed something wrong with the six guards who escorted the matchmaker. They seem to be walking around the city these two days, but they are actually investigating something secretly."

"I don't know whether they are here to 'find out' the general's so-called ulterior motives, or they are here for the treasure map." Yin Hai stood on the side, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, thinking.

Yan Ming put away the medicine box and said worriedly: "It probably has both."

"No matter what, don't be careless." Xiao Mu confessed: "Secretly keep a close eye on people."

"Yes." Wang Jingyong responded sternly.

But Yin Hai changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I think the general should be most wary of that Ji painter, that is the most dangerous one—"

Wang Jingyong looked at him puzzled: "I've observed it, this person doesn't know kung fu."

Saying that, he waved his fist threateningly.

Such a little girl, let alone a general who has experienced many battles, even he can be punched flying, so there is no danger.

"..." Yin Hai smiled with pity.

Some people can't marry a wife, and the reason is obvious.

But seeing that his general didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the words of the big fool, Yin Hai, facing the two stupid cows, could only say more bluntly: "As the saying goes, it is easy to hide the open spear and easy to defend against the dark arrow, but the hero is saddened by the beauty." A little girl from a scholarly family goes far to the north, who can tell if this is not a brilliant move?"

This time Xiao Mu understood, and he was able to choke him calmly in turn: "Don't worry about it, just take care of the girl from the Pei family."

Yin Hai felt a headache when he heard the word "Pei's girl". When he was about to say it again, he heard footsteps outside the door.

People who practice martial arts have good hearing.

When the footsteps approached, what came to my ears was the voice of Jiang Meiguan.

With Xiao Mu's permission, Jiang Meiguan was invited into the study.

"...Although the general is not in a hurry to get married right now, you might as well take a look at these portraits brought from the capital first, and consider them first." Jiang's matchmaker's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile. The two assistants took out one of the scrolls and unfolded it in front of Xiao Mu: "Look, this is the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Rites. She has a gentle temperament and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting..."

Yan Ming felt that it was very noisy, so he lifted the medicine box and wanted to leave.

Yin Hai, on the other hand, was happy to watch the fun, and acted as a reference for his general: "This girl looks like a lucky girl."

With a supporter, Jiang's matchmaker became more and more enthusiastic: "General, look at this one more, the first-class noble lady in Beijing, she is the daughter of the Zhongshu Lingfu, the only jewel in the palm of Mr. Jiang!"

Yan Ming, who was about to leave with the medicine box, froze at his feet.

　Hey, good afternoon~
