The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 300 Eating a 'Disaster' ([-])
"Miss, the arrangement has been made according to your instructions. Do you want to start the 'begging for cleverness' contest?" The man walked behind the screen and respectfully begged a beautiful woman.From his tone, one could tell that this person was his master.

The girl had big black eyes, delicate features, thin willow-leaf eyebrows, and just the right light make-up, making her look even more delicate and pleasant.She quietly looked over from the screen, and all the men had different looks, but none of them made her fall in love. It was just because of her father's face that you had no choice but to resign to fate.

"Housekeeper, let's get started!"

Even if he had no choice but to agree, after hearing Qi Sheng, he knew that her family education was very good, she was proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she could be regarded as a strange woman.It's just that the marriage is never decided by oneself, if the mother died early, leaving no other brothers, and she is the eldest daughter, there are only two younger sisters below, and she has also reached the age of leaving the court, already 15 years old, compared to Zhao Gou To be a year older.

Since ancient times, female college students have not been able to stay, especially at the age of 15 in Song Dynasty, they have not yet found a husband's family, which made his father worry, and she is the jewel in his father's palm, and Zhishu Dali is a lady of everyone.This woman is Xing Bingyi, the daughter of Yi Cao Xinghuan in Yangwu County, Kaifeng Prefecture.

Xing Huan only felt that he had been in the officialdom all his life, and he was a little negligent in taking care of his daughter. Especially Xing Bingyi was the eldest daughter, and he didn't get much love from his parents.For the lifelong happiness of her daughter, Xing Huan originally wanted to find a well-matched family in Kaifeng Mansion to marry, but she was unwilling.

In desperation, Xing Huan let her do it. Time passed and she was about to turn 16 years old, but no one came to her daughter to propose marriage, which made him anxious as a father. In my heart, I finally forced Xing Bingyi to marry before the age of 16.

Xing Bingyi also has a stubborn temper. She promised her father, but she used the name of the "Qiqiao" contest to choose a husband for herself on Qixi Festival.Among the many pastries, there is a piece of pastry that she personally made, with her birth date on it, and red dates, which means "be born early".

No matter who it is, it is Xing Bingyi's own choice to marry him as long as he eats it. Xing Huan originally objected, but he heard Xing Bingyi say: "Father, the Qixi Festival is a couple's day. Children just want to meet each other on this day." My wishful husband, as long as he eats the cakes made by his daughter, that is fate, and the marriage of thousands of miles is bound by a thread, and my daughter believes that God will not treat me badly!"

Xing Huan let go of his objections and let Xing Bingyi do the same.In addition, considering his daughter's happiness, Xing Huan did not specifically say that he was going on a blind date for his daughter, but used the "begging for cleverness" competition. Even if he got it, as long as he didn't like it, he would not marry him. Fame, and keep your own reputation.

Hearing Xing Bingyi's answer, the butler bowed to leave, then walked up to the people again, smiled again, and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.As soon as his voice fell, everyone rushed forward, and the cakes that came up were immediately rushed to eat.

In addition, no leftovers are allowed, as long as you take a bite, no matter whether it is delicious or not, you must finish it. This is also a rule, which is equivalent to a blessing.If you take a bite and throw it away, it is not only an insult to the woman, but also a kind of curse, so as long as you start eating, you are not allowed to throw it away, you must eat it clean.

Seeing people rushing forward, Zhao Gou didn't go forward immediately, seeing how everyone was gobbling up, he couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Even if you want to eat, you don't have to eat like this, don't you know that eating too fast is not easy to digest, if you are not careful, you may be afraid More trouble!"

Everyone participated enthusiastically, and thousands of pastries were swept away in a short while.However, some men over the age of 20 were also kept out, and the noisy voices could not be heard at all. Everyone's eyes were attracted by the pastries in front of them, and they didn't care about others.

Zhao Gou walked forward unhurriedly. He was dressed plainly and had a smile on his face. Everyone didn't care, and he had arrived at the front before he knew it.It's not that he doesn't want to stay behind, but that he has no room, so he has to go forward to find space.

Seeing all kinds of cakes in front of him, Zhao Gou couldn't help but start eating.Perhaps it was fate, when Zhao Gou came out from the crowd, Xing Bingyi immediately took a fancy to Zhao Gou, especially his free and unrestrained personality attracted her deeply.

The housekeeper quietly observed the movements of his young lady, and saw that she was looking at Zhao Gou all the time, so he couldn't help looking Zhao Gou up and down.Just looking at the simple clothes, one can tell that the family is poor, but the heroic spirit between Zhao Gou's eyebrows cannot be concealed, so the butler can't help but nodded in appreciation, thinking silently: "Missy's eyes are really extraordinary, this son There must be something."

So, the steward ordered the servants around him to let him go back to the house as soon as possible to report to the master that his young lady fell in love with a young master.When the servants came back in a hurry, Xing Huan was already fidgeting, and when he saw the servants from his mansion came back, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss, is there a match?"

"Reporting to the master, the eldest lady has fallen in love!..."

"Since you are in love, why do you want to come back? Why don't you let that person come over quickly!" Xing Huan said anxiously.

"Reporting to the master, the steward asked the villain to come here to tell the master that you should come over immediately so that he can check. If the young master doesn't get it, even if the young lady likes it, she may not marry. Only when the master comes in person Good to convince Miss."

Xing Huan said helplessly: "Tell this girl not to do such a thing, alas, if she is eaten by others, how will it end? If I hadn't thought about it a long time ago, I'm afraid it will be really difficult to end. I let you The pastries made by Miss are put away, have you made them yet?"

"Report to Master, villain..."

The man faltered, and Xing Huan's heart skipped a beat. He guessed that in all likelihood, Xing Bingyi discovered what he ordered, and in the end it was self-defeating.Immediately, Xing Huan understood why the butler asked him to go, and he was afraid that he was letting him deal with the aftermath. He felt angry and ran out before he had time to think about it.

Zhao Gou didn't know that his every move was being watched. Now he was completely attracted by the delicious food in front of him, especially after tasting it, he felt delicious.The number of people gradually decreased, because they couldn't control it before, and couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. They ate too much, and the pastries in the back were even more delicious, but they had no luck to enjoy them, so they could only watch others eat. .

At a glance, Zhao Gou saw all the pastries in different shapes, but one of them was unique. This made him a little curious, so he walked over directly, picked up the pastry, and saw the words "A Thousand Miles of Marriage" written on it. The words lead by a thread.

"People nowadays still know how to be romantic?"

Looking at the center-shaped pastry in his hand, Zhao Gou was shocked. After taking a bite, he felt a scent of flowers coming out of his nostrils. He didn't care about anything else, so he took another bite and ate a red date. He thought it tasted good and chewed a few more mouthfuls , took another bite but it turned out to be a piece of paper, frowning, thinking to himself: "What is this?"
