The Time Traveling Anchor and Her Eight Hundred Fence-Sitters

In Tianying, a girl can discuss marriage after she reaches the age of fifteen.

There are also families that arrange marriages for their children when they are young, and then get married when both parties grow up.

However, the power struggle in the capital is getting more and more intense nowadays, and one can lose everything if one is not careful. Therefore, in recent years, I haven't heard of any family willing to hang themselves on a tree or arrange a marriage for their children before they grow up.

Zhao Mianmian mentioned the engagement in front of Madam He. It seemed like childish talk, but in fact it was full of scheming.

She thought that once she got engaged, she would more or less be considered someone else's "daughter-in-law".

No matter what mistakes He Jianxing made, the serious crime of "exile of the whole family" would not fall on her, and maybe she could save her life in the future.

Even if we take a step back and talk about it, she really can't avoid her relationship with the He family. She could get some betrothal gifts before being exiled, strive to level up and gain some talents, and also prepare for the future and leave a way out for herself.

But Zhao Mianmian didn't expect that she was less than five years old. Even if the He family was willing to arrange a marriage for her, where could they find a "young husband" of similar age and family background for her in such a short period of time?

What's more, the He family has an old lady whose thoughts are hard to understand.

When Zhao Mianmian said this, everyone in the room laughed.

Qi Qiu and Qi Luo covered their mouths and teased Zhao Mianmian while taking out the cakes from the food box and placing them on the small table in front of Zhao Mianmian:

"Oh, I didn't expect that our sister Mian is so cautious that she even wants to get engaged for herself?"

"Mian Jie, which boy do you like? Why don't you tell the old lady and let her make a decision for you? Otherwise, he will be snatched away by another girl in the future!"

"In terms of looks, that guy might be Xu from next door. You know what, Xu has red lips and white teeth, he's really good-looking!"

[Engagement? What kind of engagement is this? Host, how can you be so upset? ? ]

[Anchor, what are you doing? ?

Men will only affect the speed at which you draw your sword. Don't lose sight of the big picture by wasting your time on such romantic things! 】

[It's so funny, romantic? ? You guys think too highly of her!

I bet a dime that she must be attracted by the engagement gift money. 】

[Hahaha, earn some money for the betrothal gift before running away? Sure, sure.]

[Hey, you lousy anchor, you're still thinking about getting engaged at this hour, I really don't know how you survived to this day! ]

[Alright, alright, you are the ones who want to eat melons, and you are the ones who are cricketing behind the scenes. Can you please be a human being and not let your pH value be greater than 7 and less than 7.]

【what? 】

[Sour and cheap? ? ]

【??? What kind of description is this???】

【Hahahahahaha】

Zhao Mianmian had no time to deal with the audience in the live broadcast room. While Qi Qiu and Qi Luo were talking, she came to Madam He's side, took her arm with a smile, and explained for herself:

"Mianmian saw that her grandmother was so happy about her third sister's engagement that she couldn't stop smiling. She thought that engagement must be a very good thing."

"So I want to get engaged to make my grandmother happy."

Hearing what Zhao Mianmian said, everyone in the room's eyes lit up.

Then he changed his way of praising Zhao Mianmian for being sensible and obedient.

In addition to the live broadcast room barrage:

【：）Bullshit】

[I believe you big head ghost]

Amidst the voices coming one after another, Zhao Mianmian heard an extremely sinister voice:

"Engagement? You must be joking!"

〖I raised you just to be your life-saving charm, how could I easily give you to someone else? ?〗

"Don't even think about getting engaged, even if you are already twenty-five, don't even think about getting engaged!"

Zhao Mianmian:

【…】

Zhao Mianmian was about to cry.

Although this person doesn't necessarily have to get married, "not wanting to get married" and "not being able to get married" are two completely different things!

She was only five years old, she hadn’t had time to grow up yet, but Old Lady He cut off her income from betrothal gifts. Was that appropriate? Was that appropriate? ! ! !

Zhao Mianmian was immersed in the blow of "not being able to receive the betrothal gift" and didn't care at all what Madam He said in front of her.

It was the starling that had never looked anyone in the eye since she entered the door that spoke:

"fart!"

Qi Qiu Qi Luo who was standing by and serving:? !!!

Mrs. He who just said something:!!!

Zhao Mianmian, who was completely absent-minded: [(⊙_⊙)?]

The comments that are looking for fun and no worries:

【What the hell? 】

【Because of blowing Sting [funny]】

"fart."

"Did you hear that? Bullshit! I said you were farting!"

"I'm talking about you! I'm talking about you, you're the one who's farting!!"

"Fuck your mother!!"

Qi Qiu Qi Luo didn't expect that the starling by the window would suddenly curse, so he quickly took something on the table and fanned it.

"Oh, you beast, why are you still cursing..."

However, because of the cage, the weapons in the two men's hands could not hit the starling at all. Instead, the black-haired beast fluttered in the cage for a while and cursed even more vigorously.

"A gentleman speaks with his words but never with his hands."

"You're the one who did it, villain! Villain!!"

"Ouch, help! Help!!"

"Save the bird!"

"Zhao Mianmian!!"

“Save the bird’s life!!”

Zhao Mianmian: [……]

**

An hour later, Zhao Mianmian came back.

In his hand, he was holding the golden bird cage he had received from Old Lady He.

And a well-fed, sleepy...black-haired beast.

Dong Zhu was surprised to see Zhao Mianmian go to Linfang Courtyard empty-handed, but bring back the mynah bird that Qian'er gave to Madam He.

"Hey, Sister Mian, how did you bring it back?"

Zhao Mianmian handed the bird cage to Dong Zhu, and watched Dong Zhu hang the bird cage in the corridor, and trembled his lips:

"My grandmother said she didn't want to raise the baby anymore, so she gave it to Mianmian."

Dong Zhu is confused:

"Ah? I heard from the people in the front yard that this kind of mynah bird is very clever. If you buy it from the market, it will cost at least three hundred taels of silver."

"It's only been two days since he was sent to Linfangyuan. He was being taken care of well. Why do you suddenly not want to take care of him anymore?"

Zhao Mianmian thought about the chaos in the room just now, considered her words, and finally said hesitantly:

"Maybe it's because of his bad mouth..."

Dong Zhu: “???”

Although Dongzhu didn't know why Linfangyuan gave away the mynah bird that Qian'er sent back, she knew that Zhao Mianmian was not a person who would do anything reckless.

Since Zhao Mianmian was able to bring this black-haired beast out of Linfangyuan, she must have gotten the old lady's approval.

So he didn't say anything more, but took some clean water from the kettle and added it to the small water tank in the cage.

He took some more grains from the small kitchen and filled the starling's food bowl.

Only after he had settled the cage and the starling inside it did Dong Zhu hurriedly leave Linlan Courtyard to do other things.

When Dongzhu was cleaning the cage, the starling in the cage tilted its head and looked at her.

Zhao Mianmian was terrified, fearing that this beast would say something wild and make her only maid run away in anger.

Fortunately, despite watching, the black-haired beast probably knew who would be its breadwinner in the future, and did not "make things difficult" for Dong Zhu, which made Zhao Mianmian breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhao Mianmian wanted to keep this black-haired beast.

It was not just because when they were in Linfangyuan, it stood alone against ten thousand men and with its own strength, it scolded Old Lady He to death, thus venting its anger.

It was because the moment the cage was in hand, a huge system prompt popped up on the public screen of the live broadcast room:
