Chapter 269 Marriage Market
While Leo was immersed in his own world, on the other side, veterans and upstarts in Moscow were discussing the future of the war.

One was Anwar Faris Nur, who managed most affairs outside the walls of Moscow, and the other was Yegor Ivanovich Sherikhov.

Anwar's attitude towards the future of war is relatively neutral. He thinks that there may be half and half problems in the future.

Yegor, on the other hand, was full of optimism about the future. He believed that there would be no problems in the war, and the prince's army would surely be able to smoothly wipe out the enemies in the east.

However, although there were differences between the two sides, neither of them chose to persuade the other party, but chose to shelve the dispute. They both chose to use time to speak on this issue.

As for why the two got together, it was because one of them was a typical outsider. He had been in the army for the past few years when he came to Moscow and had little contact with the outside world. When someone came to talk to him, he naturally agreed.

And the other one has to be careful all the time when doing things. The risk of talking to a lone traveler like Yegor is the lowest, so as not to be judged as a faction or something.

The expression on Yegor's face is much better than when he met Rostislav. After all, the prince has sent troops to help his family, and recently the family has sent a letter saying that the situation has generally stabilized.

The easing of the situation made him relax, and he was no longer so nervous for a day.

And the work is also very leisurely. As an old battalion, the Moscow Battalion does not need to spend much energy on its management.

But every time he sees the veterans of the Moscow Battalion, Yegor can't help but mourn for his old officer Dill. His old officer really worked extremely hard, and the group of new recruits are testing his temper and tolerance every day. Spend.

At first, Yegor concentrated on talking with Anwar, but soon, his eyes were attracted by other things.

Those girls who are active on the dance floor or shyly standing beside their elders are the ones that attract attention. These girls are different from the ones he usually sees. What kind of girls did he see back then? Labor is tortured to the point of disappearing.

But these are the daughters of good families in Moscow, who grew up in a superior environment since they were young. For example, those rural girls do not know how many times more beautiful.

Yegor is also a young man. He was attracted to the daughters of these good families in Moscow. Even when he came to Moscow to serve as a soldier, he hadn’t seen many beautiful girls. Inside the barracks.

"Huh? What are you doing? Oh, that's how it is... Speaking of which, Yegor, how old are you? I remember you are not married yet."

As Yegor became more and more absent-minded, Anwar naturally noticed his attention, and there was some blame in his eyes, but he was more understanding. After all, Yegor looked so young, and young people were full of desire for girls. very normal.

"I'm 26 years old and I'm not married yet."

Yegor touched his head.

"I have been retracing the adventures of my father and brother before, and I was still alone when I came to Moscow. Naturally, no one would match me up. Moreover, I have been staying in the military camp in Moscow for a long time, and I have no contact with any girls, so I have always been single.

"26... This really surprised me."

Anwar stroked his beard, he didn't expect this person to be so old, he looked like he had just grown up,

And the next point of surprise was that he was not married. Generally speaking, he should have several children this year.

As for why Yegor didn't get married, it was because he really didn't care about it. Although their family was a dignitary in Yaroslavl, they were still very busy every day, so busy that he didn't care about it.

Of course, the most important thing is that I haven't found what caught my eye.

"I think now is a good opportunity. Yegor, look here. See how many people bring their children here. What do you think they brought their children here for?"

"Communication? No, I don't think it's something to talk about. Except for the Greeks, most people here see each other every day."

Yegor thought about it to no avail. In fact, this was the first time he had seen a banquet of this scale. Everything made him feel very novel, so he couldn't understand Anwar's hint.

"Master Anwar, what is the reason for this?"

In the end, he decided to ask the question directly, which was always the right thing to ask anyway.

"Haha, it seems that you really don't have much contact with these things. Look around, what do you see?"

Anwar laughed a few times, and then began to reveal the answer.

"A banquet?"

The topic changed a little quickly, and Yegor frowned, but he really didn't understand the meaning behind it.

"Also ask the adults to enlighten me."

"Ordinary people see a grand banquet, but what I see is a marriage between Ross and a nobleman in Greece! Those wealthy businessmen and citizens also want to participate. I want to sell myself or my children! When I was in Persia, I saw many such things, but they were not as grand as here."

"Marriage. Yes, this is indeed a good opportunity."

Yegor suddenly realized that it turned out that Anwar had been hinting at this meaning all along.

And Yegor's thinking is also very quick, and after uncovering the doubts, his thinking naturally extended.

"So many nobles gather here, they communicate with each other and choose their partners, and many of those Greeks will definitely occupy a place in the princely government in the future. This is indeed an excellent opportunity, and there are suitable marriage partners everywhere. , everyone is likely to find something they like. But why do you say this is a good opportunity for me, my lord?"

"You really don't have any self-consciousness at all. Since you can say those words just now, why can't you think of your own situation?"

Anwar shook his head, his tone was full of hatred, and he wondered if this person was playing dumb.

"You are the most sought-after person in this game! If it weren't for the fact that you have been talking to me, and you don't get in touch with people on weekdays, you would have been approached by the nobles long ago, and they would have to line up in front of you. You see Look at your own conditions: the heir to the nobles of Yaroslavl, the celebrity in front of the Moscow prince, and the family business is rising steadily, and will be supported by the Moscow prince in the future. Anyone who wants to strengthen the family power or maintain the family hierarchy No one will let you go. Speaking of which, if I didn't have a daughter to marry, I would have made you my son-in-law a long time ago."

Yegor was a little dumbfounded about this, how he suddenly became a high-quality resource in the Moscow blind date market.

"Okay, okay, I know that for you, an adventurer and soldier, these aristocratic games are too far away for you, but your current status determines that you must understand them."

After saying this, Anwar glanced around, and then said to Anwar
"Tsk, I'll go see the show first, so as not to get in the way of those guys who want to marry you, you just wait here and wait for them to come up and sell your daughter. By the way, I will give you a piece of advice, no matter what you plan for the future Yes, but you must remember that you are the first heir of the Sherikhov family, and you carry the burden of the family on your shoulders. You must choose carefully. Some choices may make you regret for a lifetime, and may even completely destroy your family. Whether it is What kind of court is full of intrigue and trickery, and this will never change."

After Anwar finished these meaningful words, he walked away with his glass of wine to watch the performance of a hundred opera artists, while the pensive Yegor stood there alone.

And just as Anwar said, shortly after he left, some nobles came over with their daughters, first they talked about family affairs, and then introduced their daughters to the senior Moscow military officer in front of him.

And Yegor can be considered to be able to deal with it freely, after all, Anwar gave a warning before, and Yegor kneaded the dough for these hints and demands, anyway, he didn't give a word of the truth.

Although he is now the heir of the Sherikhov family, he has never received the education that a family heir should receive.

He understands that these things cannot be acted according to his own will, so he should wait quietly for his father's arrangement.
