Hu the matchmaker swung his big red handkerchief and said with a look of joy, "This [Wu] is even more amazing!"

"Don't forget our Miss Yao'er, she's a tiger-killing hero!"

Lu Yao's mind brightened: Yes, I got such a good reputation at the beginning! It turns out that Hu Meigong used this to resist, it's great!

The eldest brother-in-law also shook his green handkerchief and immediately continued: "Before, there was a tiger plague in our area, which caused a lot of panic among the people. The people in the surrounding villages were all worried. The government also sent people to the mountains to hunt tigers, but they couldn't bring them down after a long time. In the end, it was my sister who took action and killed the vicious tiger in one fell swoop!"

When this matter was mentioned, everyone in the Chen family sat up straight.

Everyone was a victim of the tiger plague back then. There was a villager from Caogouling Village who encountered the tiger while working in the fields. He was almost eaten and is still frightened to this day.

So when they heard that Lu Yao was the tiger-killing hero, everyone perked up and listened carefully.

Matchmaker Hu threw his handkerchief, turned around and went on: "Why did so many people fail to catch tigers before, but our Miss Yao succeeded with just one move?"

The eldest brother-in-law followed: "Why?"

Matchmaker Hu: "Because our Miss Yao'er's martial arts are real skills!"

Brother-in-law: “Yes!”

Hu the Matchmaker: "How fierce and powerful is that tiger? How powerful are the fists and feet of a man who can kill it?"

Brother-in-law: “Great!”

Matchmaker Hu: "Do you have the courage?"

Brother-in-law: “Yes!”

Hu the Matchmaker: "Is it righteous or not?"

Brother-in-law: "Justice!"

Hu the Matchmaker: "Is he good at both literature and martial arts?"

Brother-in-law: “It’s true!”

Lu Yao couldn't help but hold her forehead: You two are doing crosstalk here? One is making fun of the other is praising. Is this the skill required to be a matchmaker?

The matchmaker Hu flicked his handkerchief again and walked a few steps closer to the two elders of the Chen family: "Old sister-in-law and old brother, this is a great deed to kill a tiger. If our child marries there, the neighbors will all give him a thumbs up and say 'thanks to your wife'!"

This is an infinite honor!

The eldest brother-in-law followed closely and said, "Because our Yao'er killed this tiger, the Ping'an County Magistrate specially received her and praised her, and even awarded her 20 taels of silver!

Yao'er's parents were generous and sensible people. They used the twenty taels of reward money to help Yao'er find a husband.

Ten taels of betrothal gifts and ten taels of expenses."

Matchmaker Hu assisted again: "Oh my, this is really unusual! A betrothal gift of ten taels of silver. I have been a matchmaker for decades, and this is the first time I have met a farmer's family willing to pay so much for their child. The parents of the Lu family are really generous!"

Brother-in-law: "That's because the Lu family has a good family tradition, a large population, a loving father, a loving mother, and friendly sisters.

The Lu family's parents said that receiving the reward money is a joy, and paying the betrothal gift to marry a husband is also a joy, double the joy, and we can't be stingy."

Matchmaker Hu clapped his hands and said happily, "Isn't this a double blessing? Sister and brother, please take a look. You two elders have made the right choice by meeting Miss Lu this time!"

Lu Yao, who was almost dizzy, let out a long breath: These two are so talkative!

After being strongly recommended to the good things about Lu Yao, everyone in the Chen family in the room began to whisper to each other.

Lu Yao saw that Mother Chen and Father Chen looked good with smiles on their faces. She must have given herself high marks after hearing all the compliments from the matchmaker.

She couldn't help but look at Mr. Chen again.

Young Chen Langjun seemed to glance at her secretly, but when he met Lu Yao's gaze, he quickly lowered his eyes and pretended not to see her.

Lu Yao suddenly felt disgusted.

She is a straightforward person and doesn't like the timid, weak and cowardly temperament.

If Mr. Chen was young, it would be fine, but he is already in his twenties and is still so ungenerous, which is really not presentable.

Lu Yao gradually became angry.

At the same time, she also felt a host of unfriendly gazes.

It was shot by the older lady in front of Xiao Chen Langjun.

That older sister looked about the same age as her older sister Lu Shan, and might be one of young Chen Langjun's older sisters.

Sister Chen kept looking at herself, her eyes full of doubt and inquiry, as if she was confirming something.

Lu Yao suddenly shuddered!

Could this elder sister be someone who knows the original owner, Er Gouzi?

Anyway, Lu Yao didn't know her and had no impression of her at all. But it was hard to say whether the other party knew the original owner.

Fortunately, no one had spoken at this time. The two elders of the Chen family, who were praised by the matchmaker, started to speak.

"Matchmaker Hu has always said that Miss Lu is a good person. After meeting her today, I think she is indeed not bad." Mother Chen exchanged glances with Father Chen, who said embarrassedly:

"Miss Lu is really not bad, which makes my Tiezhu seem unworthy of her."

Iron pillar?

Chen Tiezhu?

Little Chen Langjun’s real name is Chen Tiezhu!

Lu Yao complained in her heart: Your name is totally inconsistent with your personality!

"Oh, brother, you are too modest. Our Tiezhu is also a good boy, not bad at all!" Matchmaker Hu also had to help the other party.

The eldest brother-in-law also hurriedly followed: "I think young Chen is quiet, gentle and virtuous. He is a good person. I heard that he is also good at housework and farming. Isn't he the perfect match for my Yaoer!"

A dark and twisted thought suddenly emerged in Lu Yao's mind: With Chen Tiezhu's personality, if she had married the original owner, wouldn't she have been able to not fight back when beaten or scolded?

Not only can she do housework but also farm, and she can be both a man and a woman. Isn't she the perfect match for the original owner Ergouzi!

Father Chen sighed softly: "But Tiezhu is already 22 years old this year, three years older than Miss Yao'er. Miss Yao'er won't despise him, right?"

"Don't despise me, don't despise me! My husband is getting older, so he will be more caring. Isn't that right, Yao'er!"

As the eldest brother-in-law spoke, he nudged Lu Yao, who was lost in thought, with his elbow and asked her to say a few words.

"Yes! Yes!" Lu Yao also followed suit and said, "Aunt, Uncle, the ancients said: A man three years older than me is a golden brick. Brother Tiezhu is three years older than me, which is just right to bring me good fortune. I don't mind."

Everyone was stunned.

Is there any other way to say this?

Chen's mother said with understanding: "It's good to be educated, and to know a lot!"

Matchmaker Hu and his elder brother-in-law were also stunned for a moment, and then quietly included the phrase "A man three years older than a man is worth a fortune" into the matchmaker's vocabulary.

"So, age is not a problem at all. Miss Yaoer doesn't mind at all." Matchmaker Hu chuckled and flicked his handkerchief.

"There is one more thing we must explain in advance," said Father Chen, who was very embarrassed. After a pause, he slowly said:

“My Tiezhu almost got married, but the girl died of a sudden illness on the wedding day. Afterwards, my Tiezhu had a reputation for being unlucky in marriage.

Although she was wrongly accused, she was also despised by many people who met her. I wonder if Miss Lu... despises her or not?

"Brother, I have already told Miss Lu the whole story. Our Tiezhu's reputation was ruined by the evil people. Our Tiezhu is not unlucky in marriage." Matchmaker Hu tried to mediate.

"Yes, elders of the Chen family, my daughter Yaoer also said that those were all bad people who were causing trouble, and it doesn't count."

Looking at the expressions of the two elders of the Chen family, they seemed to be a little entangled and worried, so the eldest brother-in-law simply took drastic measures:

"Besides, our Yao'er is extremely tough. Even a tiger would die if it met her. Who can defeat her?"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I'm Nike."

Mother and Father Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If you don't even care about the reputation of being a wife-killer, then the girl Yao'er in front of you is really a good match for you.

"We know each other thoroughly, and we've gotten to know each other pretty well, brother and sister, so let's arrange this marriage..."

Before Matchmaker Hu could finish his sentence, "Let's settle it," the eldest sister of the Chen family, who had been sizing up Lu Yao, suddenly interrupted him:

"Wait a moment!"
