Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Chapter 17 Young Officer
郑百户气愤地揍了他一拳：“如今说不要，晚了！你没听见，张大人都打算拿百户之位来换人娶他小姨子了！
That's not a fuel-efficient lamp!
I was married before, but I was entangled with my brother-in-law.Her husband died recently, so she simply lives with her sister!

There was a fire in Mr. Zhang’s backyard, and he went out with injuries on his face several times!
Now I am afraid that I can finally bear the blessing of Qi Ren and find an honest man to marry off his sister-in-law.Don't think that you are marrying a lucky star, that is a bad star!

He picked you, firstly, because you are honest, and secondly, because no one dares to marry his sister-in-law! "

Ma Ang had heard tidbits from Mr. Zhang before.His sister-in-law had an affair with him before she got married, and his wife even spread the word.Later, his father-in-law had to marry his sister-in-law to a family named Wang under Mr. Zhang.

This Wang Baihu always had a livid face when he was on duty every day, and would always spit without warning behind Mr. Zhang's back.Not long ago, the Tatar soldiers came over, and Wang Baihu was sent out of the city to pursue him, but he died under the sword of the Tatar soldiers.

It is not a good thing that Ma Ang has been singled out by Master Zhang to be the successor.

Who knows if he will be the second Wang Baihu to die early?

Ma Ang said blankly: "I, I will go back to propose marriage today!"

Zheng Baihu stopped him: "Be careful. If you disobey Mr. Zhang, your little widow may not be able to stay in the town! He is the living king of hell in our town!"

Ma Ang did not believe in evil, so he left Zheng Baihu and walked home alone.

As soon as I walked to the entrance of Yanzi Tower, I saw soldiers making trouble at the door.Two soldiers were twisting Qin Liu's arms, and Qin Liu's turban was thrown to the ground.

A middle-aged soldier with a sharp beak and a beard holding a document in his hand looked at Qin Liu's face and said casually: "Are you really the daughter of Liu Liang and the wife of Li Wang - Liu Liu'er? Why do you look so young? Like? The document says Liu Liuer is 23 years old, and the young lady looks to be sixteen or seventeen years old at most."

Ma Ang rushed forward to argue, but was blocked by someone.

The middle-aged soldier with a rat beard said arrogantly: "Hey, what's the rush? I've sent Master Zhang to implement the household registration of thousands of households. You, a small general, dare to disobey Master Zhang?"

Ma Ang was anxious and angry.He finally understood how ruthless Mr. Zhang was!
Once the superior takes action, you won’t even have room to refuse!

If he does not agree to marry Master Zhang's sister-in-law, the young widow of the Li family will be taken away as an unknown person.

Ma Ang felt extremely depressed when he looked at Qin Liu, who was restrained and full of shame and anger.

He clenched his fist tightly, and after a few moments, he unclenched his fist.

He put on a smiling face and said to the soldier: "Sir, you don't know, I just had a drink with Mr. Zhang today, and I will be your brother-in-law in a few days. Why do you bother my people?"

The middle-aged soldier with a rat beard smiled on the ground: "Is that really so? Who are you, Liu Liu'er?"

Ma Ang said sternly: "I, Ma Ang, have always been true to my word, and every spit is a nail! As long as Mr. Zhang does not change his mind, Ma Ang will stick to his word and it will be difficult for him to chase you!"

At this point, Ma Ang softened his tone again, cupped his hands and said, "This Qin Liu is the widow of my sworn brother. It is reasonable for me to take care of her. Please raise your hand and don't embarrass a woman."

The rat-bearded middle-aged soldier waved his hand, and the man holding Qin Liu released his grip.

The middle-aged soldier with a rat beard said: "The official will go back. Lord Ma, don't forget to send a matchmaker to Lord Zhang's house to propose marriage."

Qin Liu was stunned and asked strangely: "What kind of marriage are you proposing?"

At this time, snowflakes were falling in the sky, and there were no pedestrians on the road. There was only a group of passing cavalry walking slowly.Some of the cavalry were attracted by the dispute here, and some even reined in their horses to watch.

The middle-aged soldier with a rat beard originally turned around to leave, but when he saw this, he turned back and said proudly: "Of course she is the sister-in-law of our Lord Zhang from Qianhu, and she is married to General Banner Ma Ang. Our Lord Zhang's sister-in-law, that is What a great beauty, Master Ma is so lucky! Congratulations!"

These words were said in a strange way, and even Qin Liu, who had no idea about it, could hear that there was something wrong with it.But when she saw people watching, she decided to press the matter first and ask Ma Ang privately later.

The middle-aged soldier with a rat beard saw her speechless and left with his men.

Qin Liu also walked into the Yanzi Building. As soon as he reached the door, he heard someone asking loudly: "What kind of business does this Yanzi Building do?"

Qin Liu was stunned and looked in the direction of the person who asked the question. The man was riding a horse and was wearing a military uniform. His body was covered with wind and snow. He should be a passing soldier. She replied: "It's a restaurant. It sells dumplings, noodles, and beef." , Sir, do you want to eat?"

The soldier glanced at the person next to him and said, "That's right, you've got to work."

Qin Liu went back to the store to mind his own business.

It has been closed for several days recently, and there are not many ingredients stored in the store.

She didn't pretend to get the menu and ask the guests what they wanted to eat, but started cooking on her own.

Because they were all ready-made products, she cooked them briefly and brought them out. She happened to see the customer just finishing patting off the snow on his body and found a table to sit down.

There were two people entering the store, but only one sat down. The other stood aside, waiting for the person who sat down to untie his cloak and take off his helmet.

Qin Liu brought the hot noodles and dumplings to the table, and happened to see the man sitting down take off his helmet and look up at her.

When their eyes met, Qin Liu was stunned for a moment and forgot to put down the heavy tray in his hand.

The person sitting down wears a net scarf on his head, and there are red marks on the side of his face that were pressed by the helmet, but his appearance is quite outstanding, with three-dimensional features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is very heroic and handsome.

Judging from his style and clothing, he is a young officer.

It wasn't until the hands holding the tray were shaking a little and the young officer who sat down took the tray from her hand that Qin Liu came back to his senses.

The young officer glanced at the food on the tray with his dark and profound eyes, and said calmly: "Why is the meal served before I order it?"

Qin Liu paused and replied respectfully: "The business of the women's shop is light, and these are the only meals we can supply. If you don't mind, please use it slowly."

After saying that, she took two steps back and planned to retreat.

The servant standing behind the young officer said, "Wait a minute! Your store is very unfamiliar. Is there any poison in this meal? Try it yourself!"

Qin Liu was a little surprised.

Isn’t this a bit grand?

Why do ordinary people need to test poison when eating?Could it be that this person is a high official?
She didn't dare to neglect, so she went to get the bowls and chopsticks, and tasted the noodles, dumplings, and four side dishes one by one.

When the young officer saw that she had finished trying everything, he slowly raised his chopsticks to eat, his movements gentle, graceful and silent.

Qin Liu secretly admired.This young officer's table manners are really excellent!
Qin Liu was not idle either. He went into the kitchen and cooked another meal and brought it to the servant standing behind the young officer.
