After rebirth, I remarried the domineering 9000-year-old

"Hey Tiedan, why have you been staring at General Shen these days?"

A skinny soldier came to "Tiedan" with a bowl in his hand, sat down next to him, and followed his gaze to the heroic woman in armor not far away.

She freed a hand and patted his shoulder: "Are you in love with General Shen?"

Seeing that Tiedan didn't say anything, the soldier widened his eyes and said, "Could it be that I was right?"

The soldier put the large bowl on the ground, his eyes wide as big as copper bells, and said anxiously: "Tiedan, General Shen is a fairy in the sky. Compared with her, we are just dirt on the ground..."

"No, not even as good as mud!"

"That's not something we can dream of, you know?"

"Tiedan" finally turned his head and looked at him, but after a while, his eyes turned to look at General Shen again.

The soldier got anxious and tugged at his sleeve: "You're still looking!"

"Don't look at it. Do you remember why you joined the army?"

"Tiedan" seemed stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at him again.

The soldier was very anxious: "You joined the army just to marry Cuihua!"

"Have you forgotten even that?"

"You and Cuihua fell in love with each other, and Cuihua's family asked you for a betrothal gift of 20 taels of silver. Your family couldn't afford it, so you joined the army to earn money!"

"Cuihua is still in the village waiting for you to go back and marry her! How could you fall for someone else so quickly?"

"Don't be stupid!"

Tiedan frowned: "Twenty taels of silver?"

The soldier nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Your mother sold the old hen that laid eggs and the two piglets in the family, and only managed to collect eight taels of silver..."

"But Cuihua's family insisted on twenty taels of silver, not a penny less. Your mother was so anxious that she kept crying and told you not to marry Cuihua, but to marry Xiangju from the neighboring village instead. Xiangju has a big butt and is good at bearing children, and she only wants a betrothal gift of five taels of silver..."

The soldier laughed and said, "But you, a big fool, refused to do it and insisted on marrying Cuihua. So, you join the army to earn money..."

Tiedan: ...

He gave the man one hundred taels of silver and ordered his men to send him back to the village.

By now, I should be able to get married!

The soldier continued, "Cuihua is the most beautiful girl in our village. I want to marry her, and my family can afford twenty taels of silver, but she only likes you..."

Tiedan: "Then why did you join the army?"

The soldier was stunned, feeling both angry and amused. He punched him in the chest with his fist and said, "You big idiot! Didn't you say you were scared to be alone and asked me to go with you?"

"Well, I can't blame you. Your mother accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms when she was pregnant with you. Later, a doctor cured her, but it damaged your brain. You have been stupid since childhood."

"Fortunately, you have a pretty face, and Cuihua doesn't think you're stupid..."

There was a sour taste in this statement.

"Forget it, why should I bother with you? You are so pitiful, I can't fight with a big fool like you for my wife..."

"Although I, Zhang Tiezhu, am not as good-looking as you, I am not bad either. Besides, my family has a lot of money. I can marry anyone I like in the surrounding villages."

"Tiedan" looked at him and fell silent.

Is this what you call good-looking? Just a pointy-nosed, monkey-faced...

Still noisy.

When he looked at the woman again, his eyes froze.

"Who was talking to General Shen?"

She actually smiled at that man! And she smiled so happily!

Tiezhu looked over and said with a smile, "Oh, that one! His name is Shitou..."

"I met him last night when I went to the woods to relieve myself, and we chatted for a while."

"I heard that he used to be the gatekeeper of the Zhenguogong Mansion. General Shen took a liking to him and asked the Duke to bring him here."

Tiedan's expression suddenly darkened: "Did you pick him?"

He is short and thin, what did she like about him?

Someone beside him cried out in surprise, "Tiedan, Tiedan, let go! You've deformed the bowl!"

When "Tiedan" lowered his head, he saw that the bowl had been dented by him accidentally.

His face darkened and he took the bowl and left.

Tiezhu hurried over and said, "Tiedan, give me the bowl, let's switch!"

"You broke the bowl, you'll get a beating with a military stick."

Tiedan stopped and said in a bad tone, "You take it and won't get beaten with a stick?"

Tiezhu chuckled and whispered in his ear, "The cook and I have a good relationship. If I say a few good words to him, he will definitely help me cover up!"

After saying that, he snatched the broken bowl from Tiedan's hand, stuffed his own good bowl into his hand, and hurried away.

"Tiedan" was stunned for a moment, felt uneasy, and followed him.

Seeing Tiezhu apologetically smiling, the cook really just scolded him a few words and let him go. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

As soon as Tiezhu saw him, he pulled him aside and said, "Tiedan, tell me honestly, are you really attracted to General Shen?"

Tiedan: “No.”

Tie Zhu glared at him: "You still don't admit it!"

"You just squeezed the bowl so hard that it was deformed. How much force did you use?"

"You must be jealous because General Shen treats Shi Tou well!"

"You're just saying yes or no?"
