One of these two people is Ning Jian and the other is his younger brother Ning Lu.

Ning Yu was currently lying on his brother's back, not at all relaxed. He was swinging a piece of dogtail grass in his hand, and asked casually, "Brother, are you tired?"

Because Ning Yu had been studying in the academy for a long time and had little time to go out, this time he took advantage of the busy farming season and had a few days off, so he begged Ning Jian to take him to the mountains to catch some prey and pick some mountain products.

However, the two brothers were unlucky. They encountered a wild boar as soon as they entered the mountain. Although they worked together to lure the wild boar into a trap, Ning Ruo also sprained his ankle due to an accident.

There was no choice. Their feet were swollen and it was difficult to walk, so the two of them had to pack up and go down the mountain.

Ning Yu had a foot injury, so he had to ask his brother to carry him down the mountain.

But he was afraid that his brother would be tired, so he asked with concern.

Ning Yan carried him on his back as he walked away, saying, "If you don't behave yourself, I'll throw you straight into the mountains."

Although the words were ruthless, the voice was not harsh. If you listened carefully, you could hear some helplessness.

After being scolded by his brother, Ning Ruo just lay on his back and didn't move.

Although his brother was a boy, he was taller than a man and knew some martial arts, which made him stronger than some adult men. So he felt at ease letting his brother carry him down the mountain.

It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the foot of the mountain. Their home was half a kilometer away from the foot of the mountain. As soon as they got down the mountain, they found that there were a lot of people gathered at the gate of the yard.

So he asked curiously: "Brother, what happened in our family?"

Ning Yan looked up and saw the situation at the door, so he quickened his pace and walked home.

When they were almost at the gate, the crowd noticed that they had returned, so someone said, "Brother Jian, you're back? Someone else is here to propose marriage to you. Go and take a look."

"Hey, what happened to that kid? Why are you being carried down the mountain?"

The two brothers had no intention of answering the villagers' questions. They just wanted to go home early to see what was going on and not let their parents suffer.

As soon as she reached the door, she saw a person dressed as a matchmaker opening the door and walking out. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a beautiful face.

Although he looked like a farmer, he still couldn't hide the fresh and elegant temperament emanating from him. Even though she had been a matchmaker for so many years and had seen many beautiful women and boys, the temperament of this boy was unique.

The moment she saw him, Matchmaker Qian immediately broke into a smile and said cheerfully, "Oh, this must be Brother Qian, right? I'm Matchmaker Qian, and I've been entrusted by the county magistrate to act as a matchmaker for their eldest son. They've chosen you and offered a betrothal gift of 200 taels of silver."

200 taels of silver? The onlookers couldn't help but gasp when they heard this figure.

Normally, farmers would only spend 3 or 5 taels of silver to marry off their daughters and sons. Now with 200 taels of silver, I don’t know how many banquets I can hold.

What's more, it's the eldest son of the county magistrate who is proposing to marry her. If she marries him, won't she enjoy endless wealth and glory and an endless supply of delicacies?

The onlookers instantly looked at Ning Yan with jealousy or envy.

This guy's luck is too good. Why didn't such a good thing happen to his family?

When Ning Yan and Ning Lu heard this, the two brothers couldn't help but frown at the same time.

Ning Yu was thinking that his brother had never been very interested in getting married, so how come the county magistrate's family suddenly came to visit him?
