At the end of the Zhou Dynasty, the world was in chaos. Heroes emerged in large numbers to compete in the Central Plains. After years of war, the people were displaced and miserable.

After decades of turmoil, the emperor of the Gao family, a wise king, settled the country. The country was named Liang, the capital was Pingyang, and the Yuan Dynasty was changed to Taishi. Finally, peace was given to the world. Although there were still a few remnants of the previous dynasty who caused chaos,

The situation is over and there is nothing to worry about.

※

In the fifth year of Taishi, it is the seventh day of the eleventh month.

More than two thousand miles southwest of Pingyang, the capital of the Liang Dynasty, a small town called Huai'an at the foot of Wutong Mountain is ushering in a new day.

Blue smoke curled up in the thin white mist, and domestic hens clucked, looking for increasingly rare insects among the frost-withered grass blades.

Suddenly, an autumn cricket jumped up with all its strength, causing a flock of chickens to swarm towards a charred ruin. Judging from the signs, this place must have been hit by a fire not long ago, and there was still a lingering smell.

The burnt smell doesn't go away.

"Go, go, don't cause trouble!" A young woman suddenly stood up from the half-collapsed kitchen on the other side of the broken wall, waving a pot and spoon to drive away the chickens.

She seems to be only about thirty people. Although she wears a sarong dress, her appearance is rare and beautiful in the countryside, especially her pair of red and phoenix eyes, which are shining with hope. Even if she loses her temper, it is also pleasing to the eye. But she is tightly wrinkled at the moment.

His brows were obviously in a very bad mood.

When the villagers passing by saw it, they all felt pity.

This beautiful girl was originally the daughter of the Shi family who made tofu in the town. Later, she married a distressed young man named Mu during the war. However, they were separated due to the war, and she still lives with her daughter in her parents' house. However, her parents' house was recently hit by a fire.

, it was really unlucky to have a leak in the house and it rained all night.

"Hey, Madam of the Mu family, who made you unhappy this early in the morning?" As he spoke, a tall and thin old woman with flowers on her temples came over from the alley with a smile.

The wife of the Mu family wanted to ignore it, but she lowered her head and took another look at her stove, which was blackened by firewood, and she still managed to hold back a bit of a smile.

"Which family is Aunt He going to marry this early in the morning? Why don't you sue me and help my family?"

Matchmaker He smiled so much that the wrinkles on her old face bloomed. She stepped over the broken short wall and stepped in without hesitation, "Isn't this a great job to take care of you?"

"Do you have a job to take care of me?" Mrs. Mu's wife looked at Matchmaker He distrustfully. This old man has always been unprofitable and can't afford to go early. His house was burned down and only two shabby tile-roofed houses were left. What else can she do?

What are your thoughts?

Matchmaker He was a little embarrassed and lowered her voice mysteriously, "Let's go into the house and talk."

"No need, everyone in the house, old and young, is sick and it's not convenient to see anyone. If you have anything to say, please just say it here." Mu's wife flatly declined, opened the lid of the pot and stirred the porridge in the pot a few times.

Matchmaker He took a look at what was in the pot and suddenly found something to say, "Tsk tsk, is it enough to just boil some sweet potatoes and vegetable leaves this early in the morning? Madam Mu, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the old and the young.

Don't you think so? I heard that your father, mother and daughter are all very hurt..."

"Okay! If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't try to play tricks on me here."

Seeing that she was about to fall out, Matchmaker He simply gritted her teeth and told the truth, "I've heard that Madam Mu is a cheerful person, so I'll ask you to say something unpleasant. Your man has been gone for more than ten years.

I'm afraid it's already been a long time. But my wife, you are a lucky one. You know, Mr. Hu from the east of the city is a very rich man. He just lost his wife, and who knew he would fall in love with you? Now he entrusts me to take care of you.

Speaking of which, as long as you are willing to nod, he will immediately marry you with three matchmakers and six beauties..."

"Bah!" Mu's wife was so angry that she couldn't speak for a long time. She wanted to throw porridge all over this old guy, but she couldn't bear to think about it. This was the family's breakfast, so she knelt down, grabbed a handful of stones and threw them away.

He went out, put his hands on his hips and cursed angrily, "Thank you for knowing that I have a man. Do you think I can marry someone like this? Although I haven't read a book, my man is a serious gentleman. He has at least taught me how to be honest and shameless."

Word! He has no news for a day, so I will wait for him for a day. If he never comes back, I will wait for him for the rest of my life! Even if the dynasty changes and generations change, there is no royal law that forces a married woman to get married. You

If this old guy dares to bother you again, be careful I will file a lawsuit with you and take him to the Yamen, I won’t be able to peel off your skin!”

Matchmaker He felt ashamed and embarrassed after being scolded. Seeing that many people from the neighbors had stood up and pointed, she could only half-cover her face and said, "I am kind-hearted. I saw that your family suffered a disaster, so I found a way out for you.

He's just a shabby guy selling tofu. Don't think you've become a golden phoenix when he calls you a tofu beauty. It wasn't uncommon to flirt with men in the past. Why are you pretending to be noble now?"

The wife of the Mu family was so angry that she chased after her with a pot and ladle, "My aunt opened the door to do business. She didn't steal or rob, but what's the matter with saying a word to a man? Is it better than you, an old man who always picks things up and talks?

Not as good as goods? Which eye did you use to see me flirting with someone? If you don’t tell me clearly, my aunt will pick out your eyeballs and stomp on them!"

While they were talking, the two started fighting in the alley.

After all, Matchmaker He was already in her fifties, and she couldn't compare to the Mu family's wife who was young and nimble. She was hit several times in a row, and she screamed in pain like a pig. The red flowers on her temples had already fallen to the ground, and she stepped on them.

Can't get a shape.

Seeing that Matchmaker He had suffered a big loss, a neighbor came forward to persuade him to make peace, "Okay, okay, Aunt He, you really shouldn't have said such things, why don't you quickly apologize to Mrs. Mu? Do you really want us to invite Baojia?"

Will you be convinced if you come?"

What a hatred in the matchmaker's heart! But she didn't take care of it first, so she had no choice but to endure the humiliation and apologize to the wife of the Mu family. She also took a handful of copper coins to apologize before she could get away.

After driving away the wretched old man, Mrs. Mu thanked her neighbors and immediately took the money to buy some millet, added it to the porridge, boiled it and brought it into the house.

"Father, mother, get up and eat."

An old sigh sounded faintly, "Mother Hui, why are you doing this? Although the matchmaker is hateful, but if you beat someone up, won't you be hated by others? If someone comes to your door with a grudge, you

How should a woman deal with this?"

"But if I keep quiet, won't people bully me even more?" Shi Huiniang, the wife of the Mu family, rolled her eyes coquettishly, handed the porridge that she had originally given to her father into her hand, and turned around to go again.

Bring the second bowl.

Aunt Shi sighed, "Old man, please stop saying a few words. Anyway, I've been beaten and scolded, so what's the use of you talking about it? We are all old neighbors who have lived here for decades, and our surname is He

No matter how old you are, do you really dare to kill people and set fires? Just think about it, how are we going to live in the future?"

"How are you going to survive? I don't know!" Dad Shi, who changed the subject, was also very angry. "The house is burned down, and you and I are so injured. It costs a lot just for medicine every day. We are living as a drag on our children.

It would be better to die in the fire!"

Aunt Shi cried, "You think I don't want to die? I just don't worry about Mother Hui and her daughter. What did you think that silly girl Nianfu did when she came to save us? She was such a little person that she was beaten to the point where she can't even survive until now."

I can't open my mouth to talk, but I can't see her well, and I can't close my eyes even if I die."

The mention of his granddaughter's injury brought back an old grudge in Mr. Shi's heart, "They all say that raising children will help them grow old, but I've seen through that bastard Shi Rui, and his wife is even less of a thing! It's just for Nianfu."

She had the heart to set fire to a good family! As a result, the entire property was burned down, but they abandoned us and ran away with their children. If Huiniang hadn't escaped, our grandfather and grandson would have lost their lives.

The three of you just sit and wait to die!"

"Bah, bah, bah, what did you say so early in the morning?" Hui Niang, who came in with porridge again, spat at her father as soon as she entered the door, "You guys have a hard life, you have to live for at least a hundred and eighty years to be able to live.

.If you dare to leave me and Nianfu silently, I will chase you to the Palace of Hell to get your soul back!"

The second son of the Shi family was full of worries at first, but what he said to his daughter was so angry and funny, and when he thought about it again, it was unspeakably heartwarming. People say that daughters are their parents’ little cotton-padded jackets, which is really true these days.

If she hadn't been busy supporting the family, the old couple would have found a rope to hang themselves.

"Don't talk about these ghosts and gods early in the morning. Be careful of retribution. Put down the porridge. Your mother can still move here. Go and see the blessing."

"Then I won't care about you." Madam Hui really missed her daughter. Seeing that she had already eaten one mouthful for herself and for her father, she put the porridge down unceremoniously, turned around and walked out. When she walked to the door, she

Suddenly he remembered something, turned around and said with a smile, "Lady Li next door came to me and told me that she would take me to Ouyang's house for a try soon. If his family is willing to let me help, we won't have to worry about running out of money."

Aunt Shi didn't hear clearly, "Which Yang family?"

"What's the Yang family? It's the Ouyang family who entered the courtyard five times!" Father Shi looked at his wife with contempt, then turned to his daughter and said, "That's a good family. If you go there, it's a good life. If you can stay, you can't say anything.

It’s a serious place to go.”

Ah! Madam Hui responded sweetly and went to see her daughter happily.

But they didn't know that a pair of eyes had quietly opened next to the thin board wall.
