Republic of China: Guandong Ginseng King

Chapter 122 Marriage is on the agenda
The Zhou family is considered a wealthy family in the area around Maoer Mountain, so they will definitely make good arrangements for their son's marriage.

In order to hold the banquet, the Zhou family slaughtered two pigs and specially invited a chef to come two days in advance.

There were quite a few people helping out, and the yard was extremely busy with people coming and going.

There were more than ten tables at the luncheon banquet, and the food was quite good. The guests who came to congratulate were all very satisfied.

Liu Dongshan's family now owns hundreds of acres of land, four or five horses, and more than a dozen servants. With his large family and great wealth, he can be considered a wealthy family.

Therefore, Lao Zhou specially arranged for Liu Dongshan to sit at the seat of honor with some very prestigious people nearby.

Everyone was extremely respectful to Liu Dongshan, toasting him from time to time, and their words and conversations revealed envy.

There were also people who seemed to casually ask Liu Dongshan about Qu Shaoyang's marriage.

How could Liu Dongshan not understand what these people meant? But he couldn't make the decision for Qu Shaoyang, so he could only avoid answering.

Seeing that Liu Dongshan was foolproof, everyone thought to themselves that they had to find a way to ask Qu Shaoyang.

The master and the disciple had a banquet at Zhou's house until the afternoon, and then they staggered back.

"Tell me, boy, when can you marry your wife?
If you get married, I can even hold a buffet for three days and three nights."

Liu Dongshan drank a little too much and his tongue was stiff, but he did not forget about his apprentice's marriage.

"After the Chinese New Year, you will be nineteen years old. You are not young anymore, it's time for you to find a wife.

Today, several people asked me about this in a roundabout way, but I didn't dare to agree.

You should hurry up and find a wife, otherwise I won’t know what to say when people ask me about it.”

Qu Shaoyang was delighted when he heard this, "Master, where can I find a wife? You have to let me find someone I like, right?
This daughter-in-law is not someone else. Can you just pick one up from the street and marry her? "

"Tsk, don't you like the daughter of Doctor Chen?

"You still want to fool your master? I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, how can I let you fool me?"

Liu Dongshan just drank a little too much, it doesn’t mean that his brain is not working well, he said directly.

"Master, don't talk nonsense. I didn't say I like her."

Qu Shaoyang coughed twice and spoke a little uncomfortably.

"Pah, you don't like her, so you give her a revolver? You don't like her, so you teach her how to shoot and ride a horse? You are kidding me."

Liu Dongshan didn't care about that and pointed it out directly.

"If you ask me, you two are a good match in terms of age and appearance.

Otherwise, after the New Year, I will go to Kuandian and find a matchmaker to propose marriage for you?"

Liu Dongshan is a better master than a biological father. He is already worrying about his apprentice's marriage.

"Okay, okay, Master, let's put this matter aside for now and don't mention it for now.

She has moved to the county town now, and she might find a suitable match there. We'll talk about it later. Why are you in such a hurry?"

Qu Shaoyang's mind flashed with Chen Xiuyun's smiling face, and he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart and on his face.

Well, this girl is indeed quite attractive, but they have only met a few times. Isn't it a bit too early to talk about marriage now?
Besides, the Chen family might not think highly of him, so let’s just wait and see.

Liu Dongshan sighed, shook his head, but said nothing more.

This disciple of his is quite smart in other matters, but when it comes to marriage, he plays dumb.

Forget it, let him be. When it comes to such an important life event as getting married, you have to make the decision yourself.

After Laba, the New Year is not far away. Neither the Qu nor the Liu family raised pigs this year. As the New Year is coming, other families are busy slaughtering pigs for the New Year, and they can't just sit there and watch.

Qu Shaoyang told Liu Dongshan that he wanted to take a few more people and dogs into the mountains to hunt, to see if he could bring back two wild boars for the New Year.

Liu Dongshan naturally would not object to this proposal.

So, the next day, the two of them led a dozen men, led their dogs, carried their guns, and went into the mountains.

It just so happened that these two days when Jiang Chunfu and his friends went into the mountains to collect firewood, they discovered a place with many traces left by wild boars.

So the master and his disciple led their men and headed straight for the big forest west of Maoer Mountain.

Not long after entering the woods, the Blue Wolf started barking, and soon after, the Blue Dragon also started howling.

After walking a little further, the reactions of the Blue Wolf and the Blue Dragon became more and more intense. It was obvious that there must be some prey ahead.

Jiang Chunfu often came here with his men and was familiar with the terrain. He explained it in detail to Qu Shaoyang, and Qu Shaoyang roughly knew where the prey could be found.

So, Qu Shaoyang took advantage of the terrain and made a simple deployment.

Liu Dongshan led the dog and passed by from the front. He shot whenever he could, scaring the pigs.

Qu Shaoyang took a few people to ambush on the eastern hillside, while Jiang Chunfu and Xing Jiaxingye went around to the western hillside to ambush.

As long as Liu Dongshan scared the pigs and some of them ran over, they would just shoot and kill as many as they could.

So, Qu Shaoyang and Jiang Chunfu took their men and left first, and when Liu Dongshan thought the time was about right, he released the dog.

Sure enough, on a sunny slope not far away, there was a group of wild boars, about twenty of them, lying there and sleeping.

As soon as Liu Dongshan let the dogs go, Qinglang led the other five dogs and ran happily up the hillside in front.

The pigs were sleeping soundly on the hillside when suddenly they heard the barking of dogs coming from far away.

There is a big pig in the herd, which must weigh more than 500 to 600 kilograms. This guy should be a dog leaker and is very alert.

As soon as he heard the dog barking, he stood up and gave a warning.

Then, without waiting for the dog to rush to it, this guy didn't wait for the other pigs and ran away.

Generally speaking, wild boars circle back and forth and run back to the group at that time.

In order to win the favor of the sows, during that period, the runners with baskets were the most protective of the herd. Once the herd was in danger, the runners with baskets would be the first to go.

After that period of time, when its desire to run to the basket was fulfilled, its attitude changed. Whenever there was danger, it would run faster than anyone else.

I saw the running basket like a moving hill, making a trench in the snow and running straight towards the valley ahead.

As the basket started running, the other boars and sows also got up, leading the yellow-haired pigs and the new year pigs to run away.

At this time, the blue wolf had already arrived with other dogs and directly stopped several pigs.

Blue Wolf and Dahua held down a Ge Nian Chen, while Black Panther and Erhui intercepted a sow on the left and right.

Qinglong and Dahuang were young after all and lacked experience. When they caught up to the children, they were confused and didn't know who to help.

Coincidentally, the sow got rid of Black Panther and Erhui and ran towards Dahuang.

When Dahuang saw this, he didn't hesitate any more. He rushed forward and bit the sow's ear directly.

Thanks to Dahuang's move, the sow's escape was blocked. At this time, Qinglong came up and grabbed the sow's butt in one bite.

Black Panther and Erhui also looked for places to attack. The four dogs actually pushed the sow, which weighed more than 200 kilograms, directly there.
