Zhang Sanlang said, "Since he hasn't come to propose marriage, does our girl still have to be with him? Sister, isn't it better to stay at the border with your brothers and live a happy and carefree life? Why force yourself to become a top lady in a noble family when you return to Beijing and endure so much grievances?
Everyone knows what He Qing, the border guard, thinks of you. I think he's quite good. He's got good kung fu, a great strategy for deploying troops, brave and resourceful, and he's not bad looking, is he? "The Jade-faced He Lang. Everything someone sends from the border is thoughtfully presented. Come back to the border with your brother."
The fifth brother laughed and said, "Don't fight with me. The border is cold and bitter, and you are a girl, so you should stay in the capital."
Helan Cheng, the number one scholar three years ago, is currently working in the Ministry of Justice. Ever since he saw his younger sister, he felt as if he had seen a god. He is usually a man of keen observation and insight, but every time he sees his younger sister, he becomes flustered.
He came to me the other day and said that if a certain prince made our sister embarrassed, he would be willing to propose marriage immediately and spend all his money as a betrothal gift. Isn't that courage enough to make people look at him in a different light? What's more, he is talented and has good character. I checked him out, sister, he is really a good candidate.
Ninth Brother laughed and said, "Well, I don't know whether I should say this or not. If he gets involved, it will be even more troublesome. But the fourth child of the Tian family asked me to pass on a message, so I have to convey it. He is planning to snatch the girl from his own brother. He sounds quite aggrieved. He said that he hopes our sister can look beyond her brother this time and see him."
When Ye Zhou heard this, he knew it was all over. The sister-in-law he had snatched from Rongguo Mansion was about to fly away.
If such a big sister-in-law was snatched away by someone, the brothers would probably not only be scolded, but would also have to pick up weapons and fight.
After hearing this, Liu Lang said, "I have two more candidates. Based on our sister's character and appearance, we haven't said anything yet. I'll just spread the word, sister, you can take your time to choose..." He took out a few pieces of paper from his pocket and said, "I've written it all down."
Sanlang said, "You're going too far. You're attacking two people at once. Are they evenly matched?"
Liu Lang was about to speak when Zhang Ru said, "Sixth brother, he will come to propose marriage."
Liu Lang asked, "What if he doesn't come?"
Zhang Ru said, "I'll wait."
"What if you don't come for a year or two?"
"I'll wait for him for one or two years."
"What if he never comes? What if he gets engaged to someone else?"
"I..." Zhang Ru looked up: "Brother, then I will cut my hair and become a nun."
"You..." A few pieces of paper fell from Liu Lang's hand, and he just took them out from his arms: "Oh." Liu Lang walked away, and when he left, he glanced at the flowers where Ye Zhou was hiding.
The third and fifth brothers picked up the papers, glanced at them quickly, and put them on the stone table in the yard. They patted Zhang Ru and said, "Your sixth brother really took a lot of effort." After that, they left and glanced at Ye Zhou.
Ninth Brother stood up and whispered to Zhang Ru, "That one in the flowers over there is Xuanyuan Hao's little brother Ye Zhou, right? Don't move, listen to me. We're knocking him down to tell him to leave!"
"I climbed up the wall of your yard. Did you think we brothers were not at home? Or did you think you were easy to bully? And you really embarrassed us brothers today. You are a girl. If he doesn't marry you, you will become a nun? Sigh." He got up and walked away.
Ye Zhou got up only after his four brothers left. Zhang Ru had no younger brother. Since she was young and of a lower generation, all the men at home were her father, uncles, and brothers. Although she was loved since she was a child, she had only the responsibility of being obedient.
Ye Zhou and the others treated her as her sister-in-law, and she treated them as her brothers. Seeing Ye Zhou coming towards her with a grin on his face, she hurriedly asked the maid to bring some medicine for bruises.
Ye Zhou saw that Zhang Ru also felt a little aggrieved. He only realized that he had been knocked down when he saw the four people leaving and each of them glanced at him. This fall was really hard.
Zhang Ru asked the maid to bring some snacks and fruits, and served tea. Ye Zhou, while the maid applied medicine, ate the snacks, and drank the tea, felt much better. "Sister-in-law, please reconcile with Big Brother. Life has been really tough for us brothers lately."
Seeing that Zhang Ru didn't answer, he said again: "Sister-in-law, do you have any soup in your kitchen? I'll take some away."
Zhang Ru knew what he was up to and looked at him. "Last time I brought you soup and got scolded. Have you forgotten?"
Ye Zhou was stunned for a moment, as if recalling something, then he smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, that wasn't a scolding at all. Look at how big brother usually scolds us. He treats sister-in-law like a beating is love, and scolding is love.
Last time, my sister-in-law sent me some soup, and my brother was in a better mood for at least three days. He showed it off to everyone he met. Otherwise, how would I know? Sister-in-law, give it to me and I'll take it."
Zhang Ru heard this and said, "I didn't make the soup in the main kitchen myself. I have some homemade snacks here. If you want any, this is it."
Ye Zhou saw red, yellow, white and green, ten small snacks that were exquisite and cute. Each one looked different, and the small ones were so beautiful that he couldn't bear to eat them.
"Brother, how can you be so lucky? If my future wife makes me a snack like this, I will definitely hold it in my arms while sleeping and won't want to eat it. I will look at it a hundred times a day and feel happy a hundred times."
Zhang Ru and the maids around her all laughed.
When Xuanyuan Hao received the snack, he took a bite and found it was indeed delicious. Just when he felt a little better, he heard Ye Zhou say that there were five men waiting in line to marry Zhang Ru.
