Quick Transmigration: Saving That Cannon Fodder

Wang Zhou, on the other hand, was not so happy. He walked back to the academy, still thinking about Liu Yu.

Liu Yu now exudes an indescribable confidence, like a chosen one blessed with the protagonist's aura.

Compared to when she was in the village, Liu Yu's skin was much fairer, and she had gained some weight. She no longer looked like a withered bamboo pole; on the contrary, because of her height, she looked gentle and refined.

The herbal scent emanating from him was unlike any other young man, and even his figure was much more attractive than that of ordinary young men.

The more Wang Zhou thought about Liu Yu, the more he regretted it. He regretted not leaving sooner to buy Liu Yu, and that ugly freak Chi Xing had snatched her away first.

He felt he had lost hundreds of millions of dollars, so why couldn't Liu Yu be his?

He had seen Akahoshi's appearance clearly just now. His skin was a little whiter, but the scars on his face were still there. Akahoshi was an ugly monster.

What exactly did Liu Yu see in him?

Wang Zhou was completely baffled, but there was nothing he could do.

If he can't get through to Liu Yu, then he'll have to find other ways.

Oh, right, the poetry gathering in three days.

The Prefect and His Highness the Prince of Chu will be there, and if I remember correctly, even Wen Lan, the son of the current Prime Minister, will be present at the poetry gathering.

Wen Lan is a young man, his father is the Prime Minister, his mother is the daughter of a Duke, and his aunt is the Empress. With such a background, if I could establish a relationship with him...

Wang Zhou had heard from Zhao Chen and the others that Wen Lan would be visiting Yong'an County and would definitely be going to the poetry gathering.

If I seize this opportunity, won't Liu Yu be begging me to take him in?

Wang Zhou is so familiar with classical Chinese poetry that he can recite it perfectly. He can pick out any poem at random and it will be a famous line that will last for thousands of years. When the time comes, who can compare to him?

People at this time admired talented men, and Wen Lan was no exception. Once he made contact with the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wang Zhou decided that he must first eliminate Chi Xing, this stumbling block.

As for Liu Yu, the main character, if he were as ugly as before, Wang Zhou might lock him up and make him study the prescription.

Well now.

Wang Zhou thought of Liu Yu's cold and aloof demeanor when he took his pulse, and he wished he could pin him down and see the look of despair on his face.

"What a waste that such a renowned doctor shouldn't have some fun," Wang Zhou thought to himself.

He wasn't looking where he was going when he suddenly stepped on something slippery.

With a "bang," Wang Zhou fell backward, his face contorted in pain. His back ached from the stones on the ground, and even the back of his head was bruised.

A woman passed by and discussed it with the people around her.

"What's wrong with this person? How could they trip while walking?"

"Who knows? Let's just leave it at that. Who knows if they're trying to scam us?"

Hearing this, Wang Zhou glared at them angrily, and the people around him quickly took a few steps away, fearing that this was a crazy person who would bite.

Wang Zhou struggled to his feet, touched the bump on the back of his head, and winced in pain.

Unbeknownst to them, behind a nearby stall, a small black cat was wagging its tail and holding a candy in its mouth.

While Chixing went to the market with Liu Yu to select ingredients for dinner, he watched the little black cat's broadcast in his mind.

250: [Your Highness, are you satisfied? I didn't die from the fall. Can I have some dried fish next time?]

Having tasted the candy, the little black cat now wants some dried fish, meow.

Seeing Wang Zhou's miserable state, Chi Xing turned to Liu Yu and said, "Yu, Xiao Hei must be bored at home all by himself. How about we buy some dried fish to take back?"

They moved to the county town without bringing the two wolves and the big tiger with them. They belonged to the mountains and forests, and it would be better for them to be trapped in the courtyard of the county town.

So now the only pet in the house is the little black cat. Hearing Chixing say this, Liu Yu immediately nodded: "You're so thoughtful. I'll go buy some dried fish later."

When the two arrived home, Liu Guihua had not yet returned.

The owner of the cloth shop asked her a few days ago to work as an embroiderer in a newly opened clothing shop, with a monthly salary of two taels of silver.

She usually teaches the embroiderers under her command how to embroider, and in her spare time she embroiders handkerchiefs herself. She doesn't need to entertain guests or anything like that.

This job is perfect for Liu Guihua. She often has a smile on her face now, and she seems to have returned to her youth. She looks many times better than before.

Akahoshi felt a great sense of accomplishment as she watched her husband and mother-in-law being raised better and better.

The couple were busy in the kitchen when Liu Guihua came home shortly afterward.

At dinner time, the little black cat got two small dried fish, each about three fingers wide, just as it wished. Luckily, it was a cat demon, so it didn't feel full after eating them.

the next day.

After seeing the two off to work, Akahoshi prepared to go out to look for someone himself.

Before I even stepped out the door, I heard a knock on the courtyard gate.

He opened the door, and a woman with a beaming smile and dressed in bright colors stood in the doorway.

When the woman saw that it was Akahoshi who opened the door, she was startled at first, then laughed and said, "Oh dear, I see this..."

"Get to the point!" Akahoshi didn't have time to beat around the bush with her.

The man's face stiffened, and he quickly changed the subject, saying, "I am Zhang, the matchmaker from the west of the city. I'm here today to arrange a marriage for your daughter."

Chixing frowned and subconsciously glanced at the neighboring houses: "You've got the wrong house, haven't you? We don't have any girls in our family."

Just as she finished speaking and was about to close the door, Zhang the matchmaker quickly stopped the door and said:

"Oh! This is your family. She just left recently. She must be your sister, right? I'm here to propose marriage for the young master Huang. Please don't close the door yet..."

Upon hearing this, Chi Xing frowned and stared at the matchmaker, asking, "Who is this Master Huang you're talking about?"

Seeing that things were looking promising, Matchmaker Zhang quickly said:

"It's that rich Master Huang from the east of the city. His son was delayed because of taking the imperial examination a few years ago. Now he's twenty-six. A few days ago, he passed by the Ni Chang Pavilion and took a liking to your sisters at first sight. That's why he asked me to act as matchmaker."

These words should have been spoken inside the main hall, but seeing that Chi Xing looked fierce and was clearly not someone to be trifled with, Zhang the matchmaker didn't dare to enter the courtyard.

Chi Xing understood immediately; these people were treating Liu Guihua as his sister. He said coldly:

"That's my mother-in-law!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang the matchmaker doubted whether she had misheard, and her smile almost vanished as she asked, "What did you say?"

A wicked smile appeared on Akahoshi's face as he said:

“If that man doesn’t mind that our daughter has an eighteen-year-old son and a twenty-five-year-old son-in-law, then let him give it a try.”

Matchmaker Zhang: !!!

Matchmaker Zhang faced the biggest challenge of her career. She chuckled awkwardly, "Haha, well, oh dear, I'll go back and tell their family right away. Sorry, young man."

Before Chixing could speak, Zhang the matchmaker turned and left, staggering a few steps as if a ghost was chasing her.
