Chapter 156
The surface of the river is sparkling and the water is gurgling.

Several women were washing clothes by the river.

The river water is so clear that you can see the fish playing in it.

An egret was parked on a small sandbar in the river. The egret's slender and beautiful neck was pierced into one wing, and its long and sharp beak was cleaning its feathers. After flapping its wings a few times, it flew away with a light leap.

When women get together, the most worrying thing is the topic.

A short, stout but energetic woman shook her clothes, soaked them in water, wiped the acacia on her clothes, put the acacia back to her feet, rubbed her clothes, and He smiled and looked at the other women.

"Have you heard? Matchmaker Wang went to Mrs. Zhou's house to say goodbye to Xiao Zhao yesterday."

The second woman was obviously not in a good mood, and said lightly: "Since Xiao Zhao and Ji, the people who came to Zhou's house to ask for marriage have almost broken through the threshold of her house, and none of them succeeded. This time, I think Wang Matchmaker will have to run away in vain." It's been a trip."

Aunt Liu put the clothes wrung out of clean water into the basin, took another piece of clothes and started to wash, said calmly, "You're right, that mother and daughter have high eyesight."

"It's different this time." Aunt Hua said: "In the past, the matchmaker took the initiative to come, but this time it was Mrs. Zhou who went to find the matchmaker herself."

Aunt Liu paused, and said with a smile: "Zhou's enlightened? Or are you looking at another young master?"

Aunt Hua fished the clothes out of the water, twisted them and said with a smile, "You guys definitely won't be able to guess who it is."

The second woman smiled and said: "That's not true, but ah, it must not be from our village; the single men in our village, none of which her mother and daughter like, are from other villages?"

"You're really right." Aunt Hua smiled and said, "We live in Xinghua Village next door."

"Xinghua Village?" Aunt Liu thought about it carefully: "Xinghua Village is not much better than our Ping'an Village. Why is Mrs. Zhou willing to let her daughter marry to that place?"

Aunt Hua said: "Zhou's natal family is in Xinghua Village. This time I asked Matchmaker Wang to come here. In fact, I want to betroth my daughter to my own nephew Zhou Biao."

"I heard from Matchmaker Wang that Zhou Biao is a scholar now, and at a young age, he has a bright future. If Xue Xiaozhao marries him, good times will come later."

Aunt Liu sneered: "Although a scholar who has passed the exam does not need to kneel when meeting the magistrate, the most indispensable thing in our Zhou Dynasty is a scholar, and a scholar is not qualified to be an official. There is nothing to be proud of."

Aunt Hua said: "The main person is young. He is only 17 years old now. In the next autumn exam, if he wins the exam, the imperial court will assign him an official position to do it. Isn't it a matter of time?"

The second woman laughed and interjected, "Xiao Zhao is so lucky."

She looked at Aunt Hua and asked with a smile: "Didn't Zhou's two nephews come to our village last time? I think they both look good, no matter which one they are, it's good to marry anyone."

Aunt Hua said: "It's the most handsome one."

Then she sighed: "Zhou Biao is courageous enough this week. He is a scholar himself. If he dares to cause trouble outside, he is not afraid of being reported to the Yamen and disqualified from the exam."

"Last time, I think he hit Lao Mu not lightly."

"Ali!"

Aunt Liu suddenly shouted excitedly.

Aunt Hua and the woman hurriedly stopped talking, turned their heads to see that it was really Mu Li, they both greeted Mu Li with a smile.

Ever since Mu Li saved Xiao Wu's child, Mu Li's reputation in Ping'an Village has changed, and she became a woman's friend overnight.

Almost every village woman who saw her greeted her with a smile and an amiable attitude.

Mu Li stepped forward and greeted them one by one.

Xiao Muxuan had a sweet mouth, shouting at the same time as aunt and aunt, coaxing the three of them to be elated.

Mu Qing also greeted them with a smile.

Chen Xiao was more aloof, he didn't shout anything, just nodded his head at them as a greeting.

Wei Yan is even more arrogant. Apart from being obedient and obedient at Mu Li's house, she is a proud peacock when she goes out.

Aunt Liu smiled and looked at Chen Xiao, who was standing next to Muli with a cold face, and the more she saw them, the more they matched, and she couldn't help sighing: "The man is handsome and the woman is pretty, Mr. Chen and A Li are really a match made in heaven. "

Gao Leng's handsome face slowly melted into a trace of softness, Chen Xiao smiled lightly and said: "Ma'am, it's fine to call me Ah Heng, but it's too weird to call me Young Master Chen."

Aunt Liu saw how talented he was, and the more she looked at him, the more she was satisfied.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wei Yan clenched his fists angrily and threatened, "If you talk nonsense again, be careful and I will beat you!"

Mr. Chen and Mu Li are not a good match.

She and Mr. Chen are a match made in heaven.

Mu Qing's pupils trembled, and she hurriedly grabbed Wei Yan's fist and dragged her to the other side, apologizing to Aunt Liu, telling her not to be as knowledgeable as Wei Yan.

Wei Yan was dragged aside by Mu Qing, feeling very upset, she tried her best to break free from his shackles.

"What are you doing?"

Mu Li supported his forehead with one hand, and said helplessly, "Miss Qi, Aunt Liu is our elder, so we can't treat elders with this attitude."

"You want me to take care of me?" Wei Yan asked irritably.

After all, I left Mu Qing and went to find Chen Xiao. At this moment, Chen Xiao glanced over with a cold look, his handsome face was indifferent, and his whole body exuded a coldness that made people's bones shudder. That look seemed to be a warning Wei Yan.

Also impatient.

Wei Yan was stunned on the spot.

Then she heard the voice of Chen Xiao chasing Xiao Muxuan.

"Go and play with your brother."

Xiao Muxuan refused: "I want to be with my sister."

Chen Xiao said: "I'm not sure."

It was not easy for the two of them to have time alone, how could he allow this little guy to destroy it?
Chen Xiao picked up Xiao Mu Xuan's back collar, ignored his struggle and resistance, and threw it directly to Mu Qing.

As soon as Xiao Muxuan got free, he wanted to catch up.

Chen Xiao suddenly stopped and looked back at him: "You stay here well, maybe I can consider teaching you martial arts."

Xiao Muxuan's eyes lit up: "Really?"

He went to Chen Xiao several times to learn martial arts, but every time he rejected him mercilessly.

Chen Xiaogao said coldly, "If you don't bother me."

"I promise not to disturb." Xiao Muxuan smiled slyly: "But I have one condition."

Chen Xiao glanced at a certain figure who was catching fish in the river, then looked away, and said patiently: "Speak."

Xiao Muxuan excitedly said: "I want to bring Xiao Dalang with me."

Chen Xiao curled his lips, and left without looking back, leaving Xiao Muxuan with a cold back.

When passing Wei Yan, he didn't even give her a look.

Indifferent to the point that Wei Yan is an insignificant stranger to him.

Xiao Muxuan made a trumpet shape with both hands: "You have to keep your word."

When Xue Xiaozhao saw Chen Xiao passing by, his feet suddenly stopped, and his heart beat wildly again.

Subconsciously, he covered his face with his hands.

Most of the swelling and bruises on the face have dissipated, but the scars are still a little obvious.

Seeing Chen Xiao passing by her without taking his eyes off, Xue Xiaozhao lowered his eyelids to hide the sadness in his eyes when he didn't even give her a look.

Suddenly thinking of something again, she raised her head and looked around, and she saw Wei Yan and Mu Li.

The hands holding the wooden basin couldn't help but clenched tightly, and the knuckles turned white.

Aunt Hua saw that Xue Xiaozhao also came to do the laundry, she asked with a loud voice, "Xiao Zhao, is your marriage settled yet?"

Xue Xiaozhao was peeking at Chen Xiao. Hearing this, she frowned. She turned her head to look at Aunt Hua, with a cold expression on her face, and said displeasedly: "Aunt Hua, I haven't said goodbye yet, so don't talk nonsense."

Aunt Hua opened her mouth awkwardly: "But you, isn't your mother looking for someone to kiss you?"
