Sun heard the sound of gongs and drums from a distance and thought they were just passing by, but the sound was getting closer and closer. She realized that they were the only family nearby. When she thought about what happened yesterday, her heart skipped a beat and she hurried to find Li Xiaoxiao.
"It's okay, Mom." Li Xiaoxiao knew that the Li family would not easily give up the fat meat in their mouths. She didn't expect that they didn't dare to come and actually let the matchmaker come.
"What should I do?" Li Dahai looked gloomy. He didn't sleep well last night. His right eye had been twitching violently. Something was really going to happen.
"Dad, Mom, I will not marry the county magistrate's son. Don't worry, I can handle the problem." After comforting them both, Li Xiaoxiao turned around to open the door.
At this time Si Chengxu came out: "Do you need help?"
"No need." Li Xiaoxiao refused, and suddenly thought of something else, and raised her little face: "By the way, thank you for what happened yesterday."
"It's my duty." Si Chengxu raised his eyebrows slightly, as calm as ever.
At this time, the matchmaker's voice came from outside the courtyard gate again: "Little girl, open the door, Master Zhang has brought you a betrothal gift, come and have a look, they are all good things, and they are unique in our Jiunu County."
As soon as she finished speaking, the door creaked open, and Li Xiaoxiao folded her arms across her chest and looked at them with disdain.
The sound of gongs and drums suddenly stopped. The matchmaker and everyone looked at Li Xiaoxiao. The atmosphere was quiet for a moment, and the matchmaker was the first to speak.
"Congratulations, young lady. You and Master Zhang are a match made in heaven. You are a perfect match. Please come in first. We will carry the betrothal gifts in right away."
"Okay, stop talking about those useless things. Carry it back the same way you carried it here." Li Xiaoxiao interrupted her and said, "Puh, who would compete with him in such a good-looking relationship?"
"Ah." The matchmaker choked and the words got stuck in her throat. It took her a while to react: "You are a young girl. I have to talk to your parents about your marriage."
"I'm the one who makes the decisions in our family. If you have anything to say, just tell me. They have no right to interfere." Li Xiaoxiao blocked the door and prevented them from entering.
"This." The matchmaker's forehead was covered with sweat, and she felt embarrassed. No wonder the county magistrate gave her so much silver and said he would give her another two taels after the deal was done. It turned out that the marriage was not settled yet, and he forced her to come.
But now that she was here and the other party was the county magistrate, she couldn't just leave like that.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Young lady, you may not know Mr. Zhang very well. Mr. Zhang is kind, handsome, and caring. His family is well-off. I guarantee that you will have no worries about food and clothing after marrying him. If you have another boy or girl, I guarantee that you will be able to sit firmly on the throne of his wife."
"Haha, what you said almost made me moved. But as far as I know, he seems to be not the same person as you described. He is Zhang Wenbin, short in stature, idle, and bullies the weak. Now he has three concubines and three children." Li Xiaoxiao sneered and looked at the matchmaker sharply.
"Miss, these are just hearsay, don't take them seriously. Mr. Zhang comes from a wealthy family, so it's inevitable that he's a bit flamboyant. Although his appearance is not outstanding, he's not bad. As for the third concubine, she's even not worth mentioning. Once you marry her, it's up to you to decide how to deal with her." The matchmaker lobbied with all her might, even at the cost of distorting the truth.
"Okay, say whatever you want. Take your things and go back to where you came from." Li Xiaoxiao was too lazy to talk nonsense with her.
"Miss, I am really doing this for your own good. If you turn down such a good marriage, you will try to find another one, but it is no longer available. Besides, he is the county magistrate's son. If you don't agree..." The matchmaker was unwilling.
"Get lost." Li Xiaoxiao had completely lost her patience, turned around and walked into the room, closing the door behind her.
How could the matchmaker leave so easily when the deal wasn't done? She knocked on the door hard.
Li Xiaoxiao came back with a bow and arrow in her hand. The matchmaker was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly, not knowing what was going on.
Li Xiaoxiao raised the bow and shot an arrow into the sky. When no one knew what was going on, a little bird fell from the sky and landed at the matchmaker's feet.
The matchmaker was so frightened that she took several steps back.
There was an arrow stuck in the bird's body, the same arrow that Li Xiaoxiao had just shot. Everyone looked incredulous.
"If you keep making noise, this will be your fate." Li Xiaoxiao warned the matchmaker, looking at her as if she were looking at a prey, with murderous intent flashing in her eyes.
The matchmaker didn't dare to say anything else. She was so scared that she ran away without caring about the people who were traveling with her.
The villagers who came to watch the fun were all secretly shocked. No wonder Li Xiaoxiao could hunt wolves. She could even hunt small birds flying in the sky. It seemed that killing a wolf was not such a difficult task. They couldn't help but give her a thumbs up.
The backyard of the county government office.
"A mere village girl is so bold as to not take our county magistrate seriously." The county magistrate Zhang Yaozu, who was sitting on the main seat, slammed the table heavily. He was wearing an official uniform and a black gauze hat. His eyes, the size of green beans, were wide open. He was about 1.6 meters tall, with a big black mole at the corner of his mouth and a round body. No matter how you looked at him, he looked out of place in his official uniform.
"Master, please calm down. Maybe she is just a girl from a farm family and doesn't know your reputation." The matchmaker knelt on the ground in fear and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Dad, I like her and I want to marry her." Zhang Wenbin was a little impatient. Li Chengcai, this bastard, actually dared to lie to him and made him lose face today.
"Okay, it's just a woman. Look at how useless you are. Give her more silver and you can't marry her." The county magistrate waved his hand and left.
"Tell me in detail what happened today." Zhang Wenbin looked at the matchmaker kneeling on the ground with a sidelong glance and spoke in an unfriendly tone.
"Yes, it's young master." The matchmaker nodded repeatedly and recounted in detail what happened in the morning.
Zhang Wenbin listened carefully, and when he heard that Li Xiaoxiao was good at archery, his eyes lit up. She was indeed the woman he liked, very strong.
Good, very good, she was bold and he liked her. He sent the matchmaker away and started to think about it again. If he wanted to marry her, it might take some effort, so he had to use Li Chengcai, so he sent someone to call Li Chengcai.
When Li Chengcai saw Zhang Wenbin's gloomy face, he felt uneasy: "Master, you are looking for me."
Zhang Wenbin slapped him in the face without saying anything: "The matter has not been settled yet, and you asked me to propose marriage. Now everyone knows that my proposal was rejected. What are you thinking, huh?"
"It's not like that, young master. Listen to me." Li Chengcai felt a burning pain on his face at the moment, but he didn't care and explained hurriedly.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance."
"Our whole family went to Li Xiaoxiao's house yesterday. She was not at home, so I told my uncle and aunt about it. They both agreed at the time. But who knew that this would happen today? Even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to lie to you, young master." At this point, Li Chengcai didn't dare to tell the truth. Anyway, he would not go to confront Li Dahai.
Hearing him say this, Zhang Wenbin felt a little better, but how could he get Li Xiaoxiao to agree to this marriage?
Seeing Zhang Wenbin's thoughts, Li Chengcai's eyes turned and said, "Li Xiaoxiao, don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind. It was you who provoked me first."
