Queen of the Grass

Chapter 68

"Boy Mo, I have brought you some good news this time, I hope you are satisfied..."

"Matchmaker Zhang, you're here again." The man, Shi Mo, who is called Mo Boy, sighed helplessly in his heart, thinking, why is this matchmaker here again...

(Note: A matchmaker is equivalent to a matchmaker, everyone should understand.)
"Boy Mo, I have brought you good news this time. Do you know who the person who asked me to be the matchmaker this time? That is Deng Fulai, the steward of the Ministry of Rites, butler Deng, and he is still married to you Be a real husband, you should thank me for this great deed."

As he said that, the 40-year-old man called Zhang Matchong laughed hehehe, and the thick rouge on his face seemed terrifying as if it would fall off at any time.

Mei Yan'er, who was on the sidelines, understood the general idea when she heard this. It turned out that this man was a matchmaker. She was really surprised. She didn't expect such a "special" man to be wanted.

Shi Mo's face was also ugly.

"Matchmaker Zhang, I've already told you that I don't want to get married, so you don't have to worry about me anymore. How can you count what the fortune teller said? I'm such a rough man, I can't marry into a compound Li, please go and refuse."

"Hey, boy Mo, what are you talking about? He is very serious. As long as you agree, the dowry will be delivered immediately, and the good life of you and your brother will come soon. I But it's for your own good, you don't like what you said before, and you don't want to be a concubine no matter what, but now you are a husband, why don't you want to."

"I..." Before Shi Mo could say anything to refuse, he was interrupted by Zhang Matchmaker again.

"Also, you are also 19 years old this year. People get married when they are fifteen or sixteen years old. If you don't get married, no one will really want you. Besides, you...you know your appearance. If it weren't for a fortune teller I said those few words for you, how can there be such a good person to propose marriage, you can be satisfied soon, the other party also agrees that you bring your younger brother to marry, saying that if you want to marry your younger brother together, it will be fine, the two brothers live together Serving a husband is a beautiful thing, so don't hesitate, just agree..."

What Zhang Matchgong said was a bit harsh, but anyone who knows the situation will understand that this is also the truth.

Shi Mo is 19 years old this year. In this place, there must be something wrong with being 19 years old and not getting married. As for where the problem lies, those who don’t know will probably doubt Shi Mo’s appearance. The appearance is really unpleasant, but in fact Shi Mo has not married at such an age is not because no one wants him, on the contrary, he is still quite popular...

Why do you say that? It started five years ago when Shi Mo was 14 years old. At that time, an old fairy appeared out of nowhere. Like, after all, he is still a person, and he is still a penniless old man. Then, Shi Mo kindly gave the old man a few steamed buns just like he did to Mei Yaner...

The old man had nothing to repay, but said that his ancestors taught him not to owe favors, so he did a fortune-telling for Shi Mo for free. Looking at her long beard, she said: Wang wife, Wang son, Wang family, although the first half of life was full of ups and downs, but it is definitely the fate of the rich and the rich, and the one who marries you is either rich or noble!
In fact, there is nothing unusual about these words. Most fortune tellers in the market would say such things. The neighbors in the neighborhood heard it at the time and later said it as a joke. Even Shi Mo himself did not believe it. He died at the age of five. Father, lost his mother at the age of seven, his younger brother has suffered from eye disease since birth, and he is also very ugly. If he hadn’t been raised by a few kind neighbors, he probably wouldn’t have lived so long. Let my younger brother have a good home, how can I expect a life that is either rich or expensive...

However, after some things happened, people had to believe that what the old god said might be true. During the time when the old god was hanging out with them, it was not only for steamed buns to help Shi Mo do the fortune-telling, but also because a pot Jiu helped an old man to make a fortune. That old man is a well-known good old man in this area. They are a little scruples and do not want to contact their family...

That's what the old god said when he told the old man the fortune-telling. The old man has a strong body and will have no worries in future generations. It's long but the evening scene is bleak, and no one sees it to death!

The first half of this hang is very popular, especially the sentence of official worship, which means that there are people behind who are officials, but I did not expect that the second half of the sentence is so cursed that the old man and his daughter and son-in-law are not willing. But the old man is worried, but the daughter and son-in-law are angry.

"You old bastard, say no one dies, but I have a daughter, get out, if you talk nonsense here again, I'll kick you out." The son-in-law spoke, with a clear and aggressive look.

"Hehehe, I'm leaving now, old man. You don't have to be angry. This fate is determined by God, but it may not be guaranteed. What will happen to future generations depends on your own good fortune." The old god flickered after saying the last sentence He left in a flash, still holding an empty wine bottle in his hand, which made people feel depressed.

The daughter and son-in-law scolded a few words, just think it was a crazy old man, they had a daughter, and she was already 15 years old at that time... She was born with a good-looking appearance, not like a farmer's child...

The thing is over and it's over, behind closed doors it's just an occasional joke, but I didn't expect that something happened two years later, which made everyone reveal the content of this hexagram again.

At that time, Shi Mo was 16 years old. Although he reached the marriageable age, no one cared about him. However, his younger brother, who was four years younger, was even more beautiful.

Speaking of which, when Shi Mo was 16 years old, a serious plague occurred in the western part of the imperial city, that is, their area. Many people had inexplicable blisters on their hands and feet, and then spread all over their bodies, and then festered. It was very scary, but thankfully Few people died because of this, which also had a lot to do with the court's timely treatment, but the same old man who was fortune-told by the old god died, and the daughter whose fate was fortune-told left behind a family of old people. Young women and children went to see King Hades...

Moreover, the matter is not over yet. Seeing that his wife died and there was no one to take care of the family, the aggressive man ran away with other women, leaving the old man and the 17-year-old girl to depend on each other.

Although the age of thirteen or fourteen is considered an adult here, the girl was still a little caught off guard by the sudden change. Her mother died, and her father ran away with others, leaving her grandfather alone. Most people can't stand it, but Fortunately, the girl is also a stubborn person. She supported the family, went out early and returned late to work outside, and unexpectedly met the son of a small captain of a thousand-man team in the imperial guards, and fell in love at first sight... …

I won't say much later, the girl and the boy got married, and the future is boundless, and the old man was also taken to the official residence in the Eastern District. It is said that the small life is very enviable...

This is the end of the story. No one knows where the pungent man who ran away with others went, but just knowing these is enough to make people believe what the old fairy said, and then everyone naturally thought of being counted by the old fairy. Shi Mo died, and then Shi Mo's troubles came.

Some people are messy and whatever, with families and without families, with children and without children, old and young, rich people want richer people, and poor people want to rely on them Those who made a fortune, as well as those with the purpose of buying one and getting one free, have all come here. It has been three years since they came here, and they still come here from time to time. Needless to say, this time is just the same thing...
