Chapter 23
County magistrate Zhou really liked Xiang Kang, who valued love and righteousness and was not greedy for power. After agreeing to consider promoting Feng Zhong, he offered to invite Xiang Kang to his home for dinner. Not only did they lead Feng Zhong to have dinner at County Magistrate Zhou's house, but they also stayed overnight, and they didn't leave until the next morning.

After this incident, Feng Zhong, who had already turned enemies into friends with Xiang Kang, was even more grateful. Needless to say, at the same time, Xiang Kang was a little surprised that the incident had just happened a day ago, and the local township miser (township head), the third elder He and Wu Youjiao, who once brought people to Xiang's house to capture Uncle Xiang, even came to visit Xiang Kang's house with gifts, and not only didn't mention anything about Uncle Xiang's appearance at Xiang's house, but also politely He expressed that he wanted to make friends with Xiang Kang, and respectfully invited Xiang Kang to their home as a guest, and said that he must greet them backwards.

I knew in my heart that what the township cowards and Wu Youkuo did must have something to do with the county magistrate Zhou's respect for him, and Xiang Kang didn't point it out. He was very good at giving these township officials face, and even ran to Shiling with the cheek Ting's restaurant found the owner, Aunt Chen, and proposed to use the Qin Jian gifted to him by the county magistrate Zhou as a mortgage, and to entertain the township head and Wu Youguo and his gang with wine and food on credit—and then prepared to pay back the gifts they gave him. .

Maybe it was because the township head and You Gong came in person. Not only did Mrs. Chen immediately deliver good wine and food to save face, but she also refused to accept the sword that Xiang Kang used as a mortgage. Afterwards, Aunt Chen took the initiative to find Xiang Kang again, broke the wooden coupon as a credit certificate face to face, and insisted that she would not ask Xiang Kang to pay back the money.

Huantao Township Chief, Wu Youguo, and Aunt Chen did this all because of the face of County Magistrate Zhou. However, Xiang Kang soon found out that he was wrong, and finally understood the respect for famous knight-errants in this era. In the next few days, Zhao Taigong, the number one richest household in Xiaxiang County, and several prominent families in the county town came to Shiling Pavilion to visit Xiang Kang with valuable gifts. Praising Xiang Kang's knowledge and talent, being a chivalrous man, he offered to make friends with Xiang Kang, and invited Xiang Kang to their home as a guest.Xiang Kang was helpless, so he had no choice but to greet and send them off constantly. He ate and drank with these people every day, and actually met several famous people in Xiaxiang County.

In this regard, the brothers of the Xiang family who have always liked to eat and drink everywhere are of course all smiling, and they admire Xiang Kang very much. Running errands for Xiang Kang, he simply treated Xiang Kang as the boss, so that Feng Zhong's own diners also rushed to flatter Xiang Kang, Xiang Kang opened his mouth casually, and someone immediately took the initiative Run broken legs.

But for this situation, the happiest people are not the brothers of the Xiang family who eat and drink with Xiang Kang every day, but the two aunts who have been taking care of the housework of the Xiang family for many years, because Xiang Kang can still be conscientious and knows that they It is difficult to be in charge of the family, no matter what precious gifts you receive, you will give them to the two aunts to sell them to support the family. At the same time, all the guests who came to visit Xiang Kang are very respectful to them, so the two aunts also learned a lesson from the sky. The children of the Xiang family forced all the children of the Xiang family to learn from Xiang Kang, and more like Xiang Kang to win glory for the Xiang family.

In addition, the two aunts who loved Xiang Kang more and more, ignored Xiang Kang's previous firm opposition, and quietly did a big thing behind Xiang Kang's back.As a result, it was almost noon on the day when the two aunts went to work with Xiang Kang on their backs, and Xiang Kang accidentally learned from Xiang You the reason why the two aunts went out suddenly.

Xiang Kang knew the cause of this incident because Xiang Kang found that Xiang You was obviously in a bad mood when he was playing outside the village, and he also asked him what troubles he had. Out of his brotherhood and professional habits, he kindly asked Xiang You for the reason .But Xiang You shook his head and didn't answer. When Xiang Kang asked again, Xiang You changed the subject on his own initiative, forced a smile and said to Xiang Kang: "Brother, I have something to congratulate you. Do you know that my mother and second aunt are going to visit today?" Is there?"

"Where did you go?" Xiang Kang was taken aback by the question, then suddenly came to his senses, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that the second and third aunts have gone to Yanjiting Yu's house?"

"How did you guess it? No wonder your mother and second aunt praised you for being smart." Xiang You's smile became more bitter, and he said, "They have hired a matchmaker and brought Dayan to Yu's house to formally propose marriage for you. If all goes well If not, maybe today we will do it together with Najib."

Hearing Xiang You's words, of course the Xiang family brothers next to him all laughed and rushed to congratulate Xiang Kang, but Xiang Kang was a little dazed, his heart was extremely complicated, and he had a vague hope that he could really marry that beautiful and moving woman. The younger sister of the Yu family, at the same time, was secretly worried—the younger sister of the Yu family told herself clearly that she didn't want to, and she also promised that she would divorce the engagement. Then the two aunts ran to the door and forced the raw rice to be cooked. The younger sister of the Yu family knew about it, wouldn't she feel that she had broken her promise and took advantage of others' danger to marry Qiang Na?

"Brother, congratulations." Xiang You also congratulated Xiang Kang again, but his voice was full of reluctance, and said: "I hope you can marry the younger sister of the Yu family as soon as possible, and grow old together, treating each other as a guest."

Xiang Kang didn't speak, not because he heard Xiang You's insincere words, but because he considered more consequences, and after careful consideration for a while, Xiang Kang made up his mind and said, "Let's go, let's go to Yanji Pavilion now. "

"What are you going to do? Are you in a hurry to see your wife?" Xiang Guan said angrily, "Nacai's rule is that you can only invite matchmakers and elders to come forward, you can't go."

"I'm worried about the safety of the two aunts." Xiang Kang explained: "Ling County Shanyou, you know the situation, he has always wanted to force Yu Gong to marry his daughter to his bully son, if he is allowed to Knowing that our aunt is officially going to propose marriage for me, no one knows if he will do anything. If he really does something, what will our aunt do? Also, don’t forget that we just got married a few days ago That Li Dian Mi San, he didn't dare to lay hands on us, so he might not dare to take revenge on our aunt."

Thinking about it carefully, I found that Xiang Kang's words were also reasonable, and the brothers of the Xiang family, who knew how to be filial to their elders, did not dare to neglect, so they nodded in agreement and followed Xiang Kang to Yan Jiting.Fortunately, it was still early, and the journey directly from Shiling Pavilion was not too far, so the Xiang family brothers arrived at Yanji Pavilion just after halfway through the hour.

The closer he was to Yu's house, the more nervous Xiang Kang, who came here purely for excuses, was afraid that things would get out of hand. He hesitated, and forgot to ask whether he should go directly to Yu's house to ask for an interview. As a result, Xiang Kang Sheng, Xiang Han and other reckless men did not hesitate, and ran to the front of the Yu family to ask for a pass. After the Yu family members went in to report, they came out to invite the Xiang family brothers to meet Yu Gong.

Feeling very complicated and not wanting to embarrass him by meeting Yu Jian, Xiang Kang excused that the Nacai custom of this era could not let the person concerned come forward directly, thanked his brother for inviting him in together, and stayed outside the door to wait.However, to Xiang Kang's surprise, not long after the Xiang family brothers entered, the younger sister of the Yu family, Yu Yu, whose name is still unknown, suddenly appeared at the corner of the courtyard wall and waved to him. No more hesitation this time, hurry over to meet Yu Concubine.

After carefully looking around and confirming that no one was eavesdropping, Yu Concubine asked Xiang Kang with a straight face, "Why are you not trusting your words? Are you really asking a matchmaker to propose a marriage?"

"You can't blame me. My two aunts did this behind my back." Xiang Kang helplessly spread his hands and explained, "I was just worried that you misunderstood, so I hurriedly found an excuse to come here and explain the reason to you."

"Then what should we do now?" Yu Ji's face was very gloomy, and he said, "The matchmaker hired by your family will not leave my house, and insists on fixing the marriage today."

"It can only be delayed." Xiang Kang said even more helplessly: "Let your father excuse that we are still young and don't rush to get engaged, first send my matchmaker away, and then I will find a way to slowly persuade my two aunts , and finally returned the matter.”

He was also preoccupied, and Yu Yu didn't notice the slight grammatical flaw in Xiang Kang's words. He just looked at Xiang Kang suspiciously, and asked with a cold snort, "Is it true? Don't you mean what you say, and want to delay the matter first." , until my father can only agree to you, right?"

Yu Concubine's words finally made Xiang Kang a little angry, and Xiang Kang couldn't help but said angrily: "Who do you think I am? If I really want to play tricks, why do I need to come here and explain to you? Just ask my matchmaker to force your father to agree, isn't that enough?"

Yu Yu still didn't believe it, and said with a stern face: "Then you clearly wrote the paperwork for retiring the engagement that day, why did you break the slips again? Don't you want to give my father an excuse to reject you?"

It was indeed intentional to destroy the divorce papers, which would be dismantled by Yu Yu face to face. Xiang Kang's face suddenly felt a little uneasy, and seeing that Yu Yu despised him so much, his heart inevitably became more angry, and he simply said: "If you don't tell me, I will forget it." I shouldn't have tossed the bamboo slips that day. Bring pen, ink, and slips, and I'll write you a new one. You should believe me now, right?"

"Okay, you wait." Yu Cong was also very good at hitting snakes with sticks, and immediately said: "I'll go in and get the bamboo slips and letters now, and you can write a new one now, and I will believe you!"

After finishing speaking, Yu Concubine, who was afraid of Xiang Kang's repentance, really walked towards the back door of his house quickly. Xiang Kang was inevitably disappointed and annoyed when he saw it, and said in his heart: "Alright, let's settle the matter today, you are so handsome You're pretty, and I really like you, but since you're so ruthless to me, I don't want any twists!"

Surprisingly, Yu Yu didn't come back soon after entering through the back door. It was only when Xiang Kang got impatient that the little girl returned to Xiang Kang with her head down. "Here, I'll write to you now!"

What surprised Xiang Kang even more happened. Not only did Yu Concubine not take out the cork board with pen and ink, but she also raised her cute little face and looked at Xiang Kang again carefully. After a while, she said in a complicated tone: "Don't write, Count me as a villain for nothing, agree."

"What?" Xiang Kang couldn't believe his ears at the same time, he also forgot to think about the grammatical errors in the little girl's words, and said in surprise, "Agreed?"

Yu Yu nodded with a pretty face, snorted again, and said, "I really don't know what's so good about you?"

Looking at Yu Cong carefully in surprise, seeing that the little girl's expression does not seem to be fake, Xiang Kang, who actually likes this unruly little girl, couldn't help being ecstatic, and couldn't help but smile and said: "What's so good about me, you will gradually get better in the future." understood."

"Hmph, I hope so."

Yu Yu snorted again, still looking down on Xiang Kang, but Xiang Kang didn't bother to argue with her now, and couldn't help but change his expression, and said softly and sincerely: "Don't worry, I Guaranteed, I will treat you well in the future, I will never let you suffer any grievances, and I will definitely let you live a good life."

Today may be destined to be a day that surprises Xiang Kang. After finishing his gentle words, Xiang Kang suddenly saw even more unexpectedly—the little girl Yu Yu who had promised to be engaged to him suddenly widened her eyes and was surprised He couldn't even speak, and stammered: "You said..., what? You are..., what did you just... say?"

"I didn't understand what I said?" Xiang Kang was a little puzzled, but beauty is not something Xiang Kang can consider at the moment. Under the excitement, Xiang Kang couldn't help but hold Yu Xi's soft little hand, and said more gently: " I said, I will definitely let you live a good life, and I will definitely not let you suffer, although there are some misunderstandings between us, but I really like you, and I really want to marry you."

It was still beyond Xiang Kang's expectation. After hearing what he emphasized, the little girl Yu Concubine blushed to the base of her neck all of a sudden, and then withdrew her tender little hand that was just held by Xiang Kang like an electric shock. She looked dumbfounded. Looking at himself, he opened his mouth to say something after a while, but when the words came to his mouth, he covered his face with his hands, turned around and rushed towards the back door of his house.Seeing that his head was full of confusion, Xiang Kang hurriedly said to her back: "Be careful, don't trip over again."

Thinking of the past when she fell into Xiang Kang's arms, the little girl Yu Concubine stepped faster and rushed into the back door of her house without looking back.Xiang Kang also said that she was shy, and couldn't help clenching her fists under the nervous excitement, thinking: "Brother Xiang Yu, I'm sorry, even if she is really Concubine Yu, I won't let you! Little girl, wait , see how I love you and love you in the future."

Not to mention Xiang Kang's nervousness and excitement outside the courtyard, but to say that the little girl Yu Ji rushed back to her backyard and ran into her sister Yu Miaoge head-on. It was inevitable that he was also a little strange, so he quickly asked, "Little sister, what's the matter? Why are you like this?"

Yu Concubine didn't answer, seeing that Yu Miaoge was just in a daze, and wanted to tell the truth, but he couldn't open the mouth. He just complained in his heart, and thought to himself: "What should I do? Why is he asking me to marry him? My sister agreed to marry me again. Him, what should I do? What kind of thing is this?"

"What's the matter?" Yu Miaoge asked again, and carefully noticed the strange expression of his sister, and asked, "Why are you so red? What happened?"

"I don't care anymore!" Yu Yu finally answered, and while rushing to his room quickly, he said nonchalantly, "I don't care about your affairs! He's outside, what's the matter with you?" Go and tell him yourself!"

"What's the matter?" Yu Miaoge was even more confused. After thinking about it, he misunderstood his sister's thoughts and said to himself, "Little sister, I know you don't like that Mr. Xiang, and I also know that you are afraid of me." Marry in the past and endure hardships. But I think he is really good, he is smart and careful, and he is so chivalrous, he is better than that bully with a single surname, so you don't have to worry about me."

"How should I explain it?" At the same time, the little girl Yu Concubine was of course crying in her heart, "He is actually asking me to marry him, why do I always misunderstand that he is asking my sister to marry him? Are you still blocking left and right in the middle? Now my sister has agreed again, and it seems that she is really willing to marry him, how should I explain to my sister?"

With shame and embarrassment, Yu Ji couldn't help hating Xiang Kang even more, and said in his heart: "Fuck you! It's you who didn't make it clear! I don't care. When you get married, look how dumbfounded you are! You Like me, I don't like you! Want to marry me, dream!"

Reminiscent of Xiang Kang's dumbfounded and shocked expression when he and his sister officially got married and met, Yu Concubine couldn't help but felt a burst of joy, and also became more determined. He made up his mind not to reveal the answer to this mystery, and waited to see Xiang Kang make a foolish and embarrassing joke. !As for her sister's feelings, Yu Cong didn't think about it at all—because her sister Yu Miaoge had already told Yu Cong herself that she was willing to marry Xiang Kang, whom Yu Cong didn't like at all, so of course Yu Cong couldn't do the good thing of deliberately sabotaging her sister.
