The court is quiet, the melon people are making trouble!

"This Lord Xu is such a jerk. How can he sell off a good girl just like that?"

"Did you look carefully? Is the man being held at knifepoint really a big man?"

Seeing the servant nod, General Hu was satisfied:

"Lord Xu may not be a good person, but he has good vision! He knows that only a strong man can protect his wife and children! So, bring me a piece of good jade, I will use it tomorrow!"

Other families who heard about this took different actions!

At the Xu residence, Xu Jinnian and his father sat opposite each other. Xu Jinnian put down the pen in his hand and said:

"Dad, is this true?"

Xu Zishen was reading a book without even raising his eyelids:

"That girl is very clever! Maybe her father and brother have offended her. Don't worry, your uncle Xu will not sell her even if he wants to sell Xiao Zinian! Just write your calligraphy well!"

The next day, as soon as Xu Zhiyuan arrived at the palace gate, General Hu stuffed a fine jade pendant into his hand:

"Master Xu, I heard that you want to sell your daughter. How about selling her to my family? I will definitely treat her as my own daughter and include her in the family tree!"

"When she grows up, she can choose any of the soldiers in my Hu Army!"

Xu Zhiyuan, who was still admiring the beautiful jade, pushed the jade pendant back:

"Bah! You're the one selling your daughter! Your whole family is selling your daughter!"

Duke Ningguo came over and said:

"That's right! Our Lord Xu has always loved his daughter dearly, how could he possibly sell her? You're the only one imagining this!"

"Master Xu, look at me! I am different!"

Xu Zhiyuan was suspicious:

What evil plan does this damn fox have? What's different about you? Do you have two more nostrils?

Duke Ningguo didn't care about Xu Zhiyuan's weird look and said cheerfully:

"My second son, who is thirteen years old this year, is also studying at Hanshan Academy. We are classmates. Compared with the rough guys in the military camp, he is a man of both civil and military talents!"

Xu Zhiyuan didn't hesitate to pay attention to him:

"The Ministry of Rites has had no vacancies for the past five years, so there's no need to worry about it!"

Duke Ningguo stopped him:

"Hey! Don't go! I didn't tell him to go to the Ministry of Rites. I wanted to arrange a marriage first!"

"My wife said that after the youngest son gets married, he will be given a share of the family property. Qingqing's past will not be a problem at all!"

Looking at Xu Zhiyuan who had stopped, he reached out and took his tablet:

"Is it okay? It doesn't matter whether Qingqing gives you a dowry or not, we will give you a betrothal gift of 100!"

As a result, Duke Ningguo was delighted to get a panda eye. Then Xu Zhiyuan and Xu Zikai were besieged to varying degrees, and the two were so angry that they wanted to punch themselves:

Why were you so impulsive yesterday? Why can’t we talk about it behind closed doors?

After waiting for a long time for the court session, the fifth prince stood beside Xu Zhiyuan, who was hesitant to speak. The emperor spoke majestically:

"Lord Xu! What do you think of the Fifth Prince's character and appearance?"

Xu Zhiyuan acted as if he was holding his stomach in pain and relied on sick leave to avoid these old men!

When others went to see Xu Zikai, Xu Zikai began to show his cold-faced general's coolness.

Xu Qingqing, who was eating fried buns on the curb, looked at Li Chao, who was a little reserved across from her:

"What? You said you sold your house to come to me?"

Li Chao nodded innocently:

"I'm an orphan anyway, it doesn't matter where I settle down! You saved me twice. I've said that I'll repay you even if I work like a slave!"

"Please keep me here, sir! I know a little bit about everything and I'm quite strong. There's nothing I can't do if you ask me to do it!"

"Girl, why don't you look at me! I can do anything!"

Before Xu Qingqing could say anything, a young man in white clothes, waving a fan, sat down next to Xu Qingqing. When he saw Xu Qingqing looking at him, he fanned himself even faster, lifting up his dragon-whisker bangs!

Xu Qingqing looked at the sky:

[It’s cloudy today, that’s right! Is Zhong Deng sick? Not only is he fanning himself, he’s also wearing white clothes. If he gets caught in the rain, he’ll be like a ghost on the street!]

"Sir, you should take a look at the stool! There are two pieces of bird shit on it!"

The young master stopped fanning himself, quickly stood up and bowed his head:

"Miss, you must have seen it wrong. There is nothing on the stool!"

Xu Qingqing secretly rolled her eyes:

"Oh my! Sir, please go home! This bird shit is so fresh that you sat on your outer robe. Do you feel your butt is cold?"

A light breeze blew, and the young man really felt his butt getting cold. He fanned himself to block the breeze and ran away in a hurry!

[Hahahahahahahahaha, he actually squeezed his butt when he ran! This twisting and turning would definitely look good in photos!]

Li Chao, who thought he was in a career crisis, breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Xu Qingqing in confusion:

"Sir! There's clearly no bird shit there, I've already wiped it!"

"Yeah! He lied to me! The house is gone, and I really can't go back. What do you mean by anything?"

Li Chao scratched his head:

"Carpentry, stone carving, fishing, farming, I learn everything to support myself!"

[Good fellow! A jack of all trades, but a master of none!]

"Tsk! I don't need that! Look, I don't need to farm!"

Li Chao blushed and spoke after a long pause:

"I'm not a delicate man, I'm very strong!"

[Hahahaha… I’m not a delicate queen, I have plenty of strength and means!]

Xu Qingqing became interested, and quickly ate the fried buns on the table, puffing up her cheeks and mumbling:

"Xiaojiu, come on! Compete with him!"

Li Chao returned the bamboo basket containing the fried buns to the shop owner and paid for it. They both put their arms on the table and waited for Xu Qingqing to call:

"Are you ready? Get ready, start..."

"Let me do it! Let me do it! I love arm wrestling the most!"

Another rough voice appeared and interrupted Xu Qingqing's words!

Xu Qingqing (?_?):

[Are you okay? Are you okay? If you are okay, eat some Lycoris Radiata!]

[Where are your manners? Don't think I don't know you're General Hu's subordinate!]

The muscular man in shorts finally realized that something was wrong with him and asked Xu Qingqing:

"Can I participate?"

They became polite again, what could Xu Qingqing say?

"Xiaojiu, please make way!"

The man in shorts sat down and held Li Chao's hand. A few men dressed in the same attire appeared from nowhere and surrounded the two men. They even split into two groups to ensure that the number of people behind each side was the same!

Then they grinned and looked at Xu Qingqing in unison:

"Girl! Let's start!"

Xu Qingqing looked at the group of men with sharp eyes:

[Oh! I forgot to check the almanac before going out today!]

[Today, I hate my arrogant self yesterday!]

One of them shook Xu Qingqing's bun:

"Girl! What's the name of the one on your side? If you don't tell me, there's no point in us helping you!"

Xu Qingqing gritted her teeth:

[The head can be cut off, blood can flow, but the hairstyle must be awesome, do you understand?]

[Why are you shaking? If you don’t know, you might think you changed the gear from first to second!]

"Li Chao!"

"Li Chao! Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!"

"It's over, big brother is going to lose!"

Xu Qingqing raised her eyebrows:

[I didn’t expect that the tall and fat Li Chao was actually stronger than the muscular and bearded man! She seemed to have found a treasure!]

Both sides were so excited that their veins popped out and their eyes were red.

Li Chao:

Damn it! I can’t get over this career crisis, right? I have to kill him!

bunt:

What kind of strength is this? Why are such talents just ordinary people?

The two sides had a good advantage, and in the end, Li Chao won the game! There was a cheer at the fried bun stall, and the big men took turns to pat Li Chao on the shoulder:

"Good boy! You really have some strength! Are you willing to follow me?"
