Across the Market

Chapter 189

After a while, the Li matchmaker swayed in with her fat waist twisted, and saw Xie Tong standing beside Zhao Jing, her gaze slipped to Xie Tong, and she sized him up several times.

Xie Tong stood with one hand behind his back, only slightly frowned at the old woman's rudeness.

Aunt Bao saw that the old lady was so bold, and seeing the disgust gradually developed in the eyes of the two masters, she grabbed Matchmaker Li and said: "This is our master's best friend, you can't be rude, just tell me, Then what did the Zhu family say? They came back so soon, could it be that they agreed?"

Matchmaker Li reluctantly looked at Xie Tong for a few more times, then bowed to Zhao Jing and said, "Master, you know that this girl from the Zhu family is a famous beauty in Songyang County. Of course, the magistrate of the county, you are also a good-looking talent, and you have a bright future, so if the girl from the Zhu family marries you, she will definitely be a high achiever."

After speaking halfway, she picked up the tea on the wooden table and drank a cup.

"You old woman, you have something to say, don't go around in circles." Aunt Bao saw that Li's matchmaker was really presumptuous and dared to plead in front of the master and Mr. Xie, so she immediately changed her face. She walked over and snatched the teacup. "What did the Zhu family say? Did they agree? If they agreed, how much dowry would they need?"

Matchmaker Li smacked his lips and said, "With the mouth of my matchmaker Li, how can there be any unreasonable marriage? Don't worry, the county magistrate. However, the master of the Zhu family told his wife that he has never met the county magistrate, and it cannot be because you are the county magistrate." Officer, I just married my daughter to you out of nowhere, so the master of the Zhu family told his wife that he must meet the magistrate."

Aunt Bao called: "Our master walks and sits right..."

"Okay." Zhao Jing raised his hand to stop Aunt Bao, his eyes fell on Matchmaker Li, and then he took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, "Master Zhu and Mrs. Zhu are right, we should meet each other Yes, please ask mom to arrange it."

"Hey, the county magistrate is really annoying, and there will be trouble." She grabbed the broken silver and secretly took a bite, and put it away in satisfaction when her teeth hurt, and said with a smile, "I've already arranged it." , if the master is free, let's go to the restaurant tonight to welcome guests." His gaze fell on Xie Tong again, his eyes sparkling, "This young master hasn't said goodbye yet, has he?"

Xie Tong frowned slightly, turned his head to look at Zhao Jing, saw Zhao Jing shaking his head at him, and then his eyes fell on Matchmaker Li, his thin lips were tightly pursed, his eyes were deep, interrogating and searching.

Seeing his expression, Matchmaker Li laughed wantonly and said: "When I was young, I followed the master to see the face. The young master is a rich man. However, there may be some twists and turns in this marriage. But don't be afraid, with me, Li With the matchmaker here, everything can be settled!"

What kind of charlatan has never seen a son of a family like Xie Tong?Therefore, he didn't pay attention to Li Matchmaker's words at all, but turned to Zhao Jing and said, "I came today because I have something to talk to you about."

Zhao Jing said: "Aunt Bao, send Matchmaker Li out first."

Matchmaker Li twisted her waist, smiled at Xie Tong again, and then said to Zhao Jing: "Master, don't forget to welcome guests to see Mrs. Zhu's family tonight."

After Matchmaker Li left, Zhao Jing led Xie Tong to the study.

Seeing the solemn expression on Xie Tong's face, Zhao Jing frowned and said, "What can make you look so sad? What happened?"

Xie Tong then told Zhao Jing the news he had received from his drug dealer friend, as well as Xiao Jingbin's reaction when he met him just now.Poppies are abundant in southern Xinjiang. Since Quan Erfu can use the medicine made from the pollen of this poppy to harm people, someone must already know about this flower.

If you can harm Xiao Jingbin, you can harm others, and he has seen the toxicity of this flower before, and the enemy is in the dark and the self is in the light, so he can't help but feel a little worried.

Zhao Jing also worried after hearing this: "I will send people in the yamen to secretly protect the Xiao family. As for the Quan Erfu... he is just a street hooligan, and he doesn't think he has that much ability to get this kind of medicine. If he is arrested immediately , I’m afraid it will startle the snake.”

Xie Tong nodded slightly: "The Xiao family is protected by your people. As for the mastermind behind the introduction of poppies into the Central Plains, I will send someone to investigate secretly." Standing with his hands in front of the window, he is tall and easy to be handsome.

Zhao Jing glanced at him sideways and said, "The words of Matchmaker Li just now are more reliable."

Xie Tong glanced at him and said: "Someone told me such a thing a few years ago, so I just listened to it, can I take it seriously?" As he spoke, he tossed his robe and was about to go outside.

Zhao Jing smiled and pulled him back, "Yuan Zhan, do you have someone in your heart?"
