There was no shortage of food on the way to escape, and the lucky lady was busy farming.

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, news of Song Yanting's appointment as an official spread throughout Anping County.

Everyone knew that Shopkeeper Song's reckless father had made outstanding contributions on the battlefield and became a captain, and the family's status had suddenly risen.

Yang Songlan had already told Song Rutang in private where her father had been over the years. When she talked about it, she sighed and lamented that God was wise and saved her father's life.

Song Rutang had a vague feeling that things here might not be as simple as her father said.

Following the general and burning a grain and fodder camp was considered a meritorious service, but the general's death was so hastily confirmed on the battlefield... everything seemed to be hasty.

But her father didn't say anything, so Song Rutang decided that the matter had nothing to do with them, and continued to open her own restaurant and manage her village with peace of mind.

The good news is that since her father became a school captain and was in charge of some soldiers, no one dared to cause trouble in her restaurant.

The bad news is that someone came to ask for a kiss.

It was only the first day of the first lunar month, and the Yang family said goodbye to many people who came to visit in the name of Colonel Mu Song, and then welcomed the matchmaker.

Mrs. Zhang wanted to close the door directly, but was stopped by the matchmaker:
"Hey Sister-in-law Yang, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. I'm here to visit you. You won't stop me from letting me in, right?"

Many people were watching on the street outside. Zhang couldn't keep the matchmaker out, so she had to ask her to come in.

The matchmaker knew what was going on, so she didn't talk about the marriage when she came in. She first complimented her, congratulated Song Yanting on his promotion, and finally brought up Song Rutang's marriage.

"Sister-in-law Yang, I know that you two are now in charge of the Yang family. It's natural for you to worry about Miss Song's marriage. What do you think?"

There was a smile on the matchmaker's face, as if it was really just gossip.

Zhang's eyes moved down and saw a corner of the book slightly exposed in the matchmaker's arms, but she didn't know which young master's name it was.

Pursing her lips, Mrs. Zhang felt a little unhappy.

The elder in the family had just passed away, so although the fourth sister and the fourth brother-in-law had arranged a make-up wedding ceremony, it was actually for the second elder to watch, so that the second elder could leave peacefully.

What does it mean to come to propose marriage again?
Mrs. Zhang didn't know what kind of family the other party came from and didn't understand the rules. She even asked the matchmaker to come to their house to cause mischief. Naturally, she didn't look good on the matchmaker and said with a cold face:

"What are you talking about? Miss Song's marriage should naturally be arranged by her father and mother. I'm afraid you are looking for the wrong person when you come to my place."

Naturally, the matchmaker could tell that this was not the point of Zhang's displeasure.

Thinking about it, for a family that is an upright businessman, the elders of the family are still dead, and she suddenly comes to propose marriage, which is really upsetting.

It's just Captain Song's appearance that looks scary. Besides, why would a grown man want to talk to her about this?
As for the captain’s wife...

The matchmaker sighed again in her heart.

The captain's wife seems to be easy to get along with, but as soon as she mentions her daughter, she can fall out with him on the spot.

This makes people even more afraid to move forward.

It was difficult to get along with both parties, so she made up her mind to find Mr. Zhang, who was more kind-hearted in comparison.

It's not that she is chasing after him, it's just that the other party gave him too much. You can't give up the money that comes to your door just for the so-called face rules, right?

The matchmaker thought that the other party's family had raised a high price, and if this happened, they might be able to make another fortune.

So what he said became more forceful, and he said with bright eyebrows:
"That's the truth. It's just that we didn't just call Miss Song and we got married in the past few days. Now that Miss Song has grown hair, if we wait until we are older to see each other, they might think that Miss Song is too old. ?
You have to take advantage of the right age now to look at some good families first, and then slowly talk about marriage when you are good at it.Presumably, the two elders of the Yang family will be happy for Mrs. Song if they find out about these things underground. "If the two elders knew that I was forced to marry at a young age, they would be so angry that they would open the coffin and crawl out, blowing wind on the bedside of the person who forced me to get married. "

Song Rutang had received the news early and stood outside the door listening for a while. Then he opened the door and walked in. He said a few words to the matchmaker unceremoniously.

The matchmaker's expression turned bad on the spot.

It was fine for one or two of the elders to have a bad look on her, but why did this little girl have such an attitude towards her?

Don't you know that you have to count on her when you get married in the future?

The matchmaker thought that she was ranked high in the Anping County matchmaker's network of connections. She wanted this little girl to have a bad reputation. If she made a few mentions in the circle, she would be unable to get married.

Just because she was afraid that the young master over there would be angry, the matchmaker frowned, but still didn't show her anger, and said with a forced smile:
"What are you talking about, Mrs. Song? How can any girl not get married? It's just a matter of sooner or later. Look at your figure..."

The matchmaker wanted to praise her, but seeing that Song Rutang was almost as tall as a man, she immediately changed her words:

"Those gentle and caring eyes will definitely please other young masters. Don't you want Miss Song to find a good husband?"

"Do not want to."

Song Rutang refused outright, causing the matchmaker to choke for a moment and did not speak for a long time.

After a while, the matchmaker spoke again, but after being rejected one after another, she lost her patience no matter how good her temper was, and said coldly:

"Then you are somewhat ignorant. The other party has offered a high price and is willing to marry Miss Song. It's a good idea for you. If I refuse and don't want to, it makes me look like a bad person."

With that said, the matchmaker took out the book she had been carrying from her arms and threw it to the two of them.

Mrs. Zhang took the book and looked at it, only to see that it was actually a letter of appointment from the Lin family.

The same Lin family who had robbed their family property before was now asking for marriage with shame.

It was to propose marriage for the young master of the Lin family.

Zhang's eyes darkened.

This young master Lin is the only upright person in their family, but I don’t know what the Lin family’s plan is?

Deliberately humiliate them?Or do you really want to cling to Tangbao’s father?
Zhang and Song Rutang looked at each other. Both of them were confused for a moment, so they had to look down patiently.

I saw that in addition to Mr. Lin's name and surname, I didn't know where I got Song Rutang's horoscope. I asked someone to read it and said that the horoscopes matched.

There is also a gift at the end.

Zhang rubbed the handwriting and read it to Song Rutang:
"The gift is 64 taels of silver, the welcome gift is [-] taels of color silver, the knocking on the door is [-] taels of color silver, the net increase is [-] taels of color silver, the palm gift is [-] tael, the welcome letter is [-] taels of color silver, and some items."

Song Rutang was stunned for a moment.

In addition to being disgusted, I was also a little overwhelmed.

The Lin family and the Yang family have had grievances since long ago. Everyone in Anping County knows this, but why do they suddenly come to propose marriage now?
