Reborn: The First Rank "Madam"

C176 – Who Wants to Marry You?

Zuo Shaoqing’s gaze swept across the group of young talents and sighed in his heart: “As expected of the Wu Steel Manor, their temperament is not much worse than an officer’s. Thinking about it again, some of these people have even higher status than him, Zuo Shaoqing felt relieved.”

Seventh rank officials in front of the Prime Minister, not to mention these were all reputable stewards of Duke Zhen’s residence.

“You don’t have to be embarrassed. Life is a big matter. Master Lu and I want to let you decide for yourselves. If you choose any one of them, ask them for their opinion as long as they agree.”

This scene was comparable to a talent show for the emperor. No matter what, it was better than a blind marriage. If he pointed them out to the wrong person, wouldn’t he be resenting them for the rest of his life?

The four maidservants’ faces were like peach blossoms as they glanced at Zuo Shaoqing frequently. Obviously, they were embarrassed to be in such a situation.

“Don’t just stand there. As long as it’s successful, the mansion will pay you everything from the dowry to the dowry.” It would be perfect if he could solve all of them at once.

Lu Zheng obviously had this kind of thought. He sat on the side and ordered, “I’ll give you guys another incense stick of time. If you still haven’t made a decision, you will be betrothed by me.”

Noticing that the men were all ready to make a move, Zuo Shaoqing’s gaze swept across Yinyi as he sinisterly said: “If there is a engagement at home, then automatically stand up. Don’t make a joke at the end.”

This damned Yinyi, could it be that he wanted to board two ships? Do you still want to get married with Luo Xiaoliu?

Fortunately, just as he finished speaking, Yinyi was the first to step forward. Zuo Shaoqing even noticed the slightly disappointed expressions of the four maids, while the men who were waiting to be chosen heaved a sigh of relief.

Yinyi was the head of the hidden guards at Duke Zhen’s mansion, and not many people had seen him before. However, everyone knew that there was such a person, and he was Master Lu’s trusted aide. Now, even San Ye valued him greatly.

Even though Yinyi’s face was flawed, it was hard to hide his sharp aura. This kind of man was undoubtedly good in the eyes of those who know what’s good for themselves.

After that, two or three men stood up. However, Zuo Shaoqing could see a bit of regret from their expressions.

That was understandable. The family definitely wouldn’t let them see the engagement first, they probably wouldn’t even know if their fiancée was Yuan Yuan or not. But now, Hongyuan and the other beauties were standing right in front of them, how could they not be moved?

Lu Zheng stuffed a piece of pastry into Zuo Shaoqing’s mouth, telling him to sit beside him. He whispered into his ear, “It seems like you’re too free. You’re actually meddling in this kind of business.”

Zuo Shaoqing chewed slowly with his mouth shut and said, “The madame doesn’t care about her family matters anymore. I have to cultivate a few useful pillars for myself, right?”

As an official of the imperial government, he couldn’t just go to the yamen for work. After all, he had to deal with all sorts of trivial matters when he returned from the yamen. Even if he had three heads and six arms, he would not be able to handle it.

This was one of the reasons why he was in such a hurry to marry off the four maids. Although the maidservants were capable, they had many limitations.

Lu Zheng never cared about the family’s affairs. Firstly, it was because someone was in charge, and secondly, it was because the Duke Zhen Manor’s personnel were simple, so the backyard that was most likely to be in trouble was quiet. As the boss’s wife, the most important thing was to manage the businesses under Duke Zhen Manor’s name.

After swallowing the pastries, Zuo Shaoqing drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, then said with a smile, “Let’s begin. Girls are more daring, you Master Lu must keep your promise. If you miss the Lovers Index, it will be hard for you to regret it.”

Lu Zheng’s expressionless face was like a wave of pressure. Hongyuan and the others naturally knew his temperament, so they didn’t dare to tarry any longer.

Hongyuan was the first to step forward, but she did not walk into the crowd. Instead, she walked in front of Yinyi and asked, “Hidden Guard, can I ask you a question?”

Yinyi even gave Luo Xiaoliu a smile. In front of outsiders, he was never a smiling person. He was more of an iceberg than Lu Zheng.

He lightly nodded his head, and his gaze did not fall on this slim and graceful young lady.

“From what this servant knows, the Hidden Guard has no parents, and the Subordinate has no brothers. May I know who arranged this marriage of yours? Whose girl is it? “

Everyone held their breath as they waited for Yinyi’s answer. After all, Hongyuan was not the only one who was curious. They only heard the other party donating two words: “No comment!”

Hongyuan wasn’t someone who was blind, nor did she really have her eyes on Yinyi. She just wanted to verify her guess. Since she couldn’t get an answer, she turned around and walked towards a tall guard.

With the first one, there would be a second one. Before long, all four maids had chosen people. Zuo Shaoqing was not familiar with these people, so Luo Xiaoliu introduced them one by one.

When he introduced the man chosen by Hongyuan, he said in a slightly strange tone, “This guard servant is also not very familiar with him.” When he introduced the man selected by Hongyuan, he said in a slightly strange tone, “This guard slave isn’t very familiar with him.

Zuo Shaoqing turned around and looked at Lu Zheng, compared to Luo Xiaoliu, Lu Zheng definitely knows more.

“His name is Luo Zhen, and he’s just like his name. For generations, the Luo Family has been loyal to Duke Zhen Manor, and until now, he’s the only son of Duke Zhen Manor. That’s why I didn’t bring him along when I set off for the war.”

“Why is that a small guard?”

Lu Zheng answered without thinking, “If you want to do a meritorious service, you should go to the battlefield. In this bustling and comfortable capital, it’s hard to get rich even if you push your brain too far.”

That’s true! Zuo Shaoqing saw that the man was upright and had a pair of open and clear eyes. He was a rare honest man. After being selected by Hongyuan, his face turned red and his eyes were filled with repressed admiration.

At first, Zuo Shaoqing was worried that these four maidservants were too arrogant and did not like the servants in the mansion. Now, it seemed that these four maidservants were not only beautiful, but also clear-headed.

This was for the best. He didn’t dare to use a maid that couldn’t even see the situation clearly.

“Alright, since both sides have no objections, then it’s decided.” Zuo Shaoqing instructed Luo Xiaoliu, “Lil ‘Liu, go get the butler.”

Luo Xiaoliu replied and left. However, the moment he walked out of the Qing Lu Garden, he saw the butler standing straight outside. It was obvious that he had been waiting for a long time.

The other person smiled kindly when he saw Luo Xiaoliu, “Did Master San invite you?”

Luo Xiaoliu’s worship of this man was only second to Master Lu and Third Master Zuo, and this man would be his ultimate goal for the rest of his life. Therefore, he respectfully saluted and flattered, “You are really too godly, Master San has indeed invited you over.”

When they saw each other, Zuo Shaoqing asked the butler to report this matter to the madame. He also picked a good day and arranged the marriage for all four of them.

Upon hearing that they could get married at the same time, Hongyuan and the other three couldn’t contain their joy. Their faces were like peach blossoms as they stared at the man in shock.

“Yes, this old servant will do it well.” The old steward’s wrinkled face revealed a hint of a smile.

Since the wedding of Master Lu, the Duke Zhen Manor had never had a happy occasion. Although it was only for the servants, it was still lively enough to have four of them.

From San Ye’s words, it was clear that he wanted to praise these four men, so why would he drag San Ye down?

When the butler responded, Yinyi suddenly stood up and knelt down: “Master San, your subordinate also has a presumptuous request.”

“Hmm?” This voice came from Lu Zheng, while Zuo Shaoqing stood there in confusion.

Logically speaking, whatever request Yinyi had, he should have come to Lu Zheng. Could it be …?

“Reporting to Master, Master San, your subordinate will marry Luo Xiaoliu, please grant me your permission!”

Everyone was dumbfounded. Even the maidservants who had their suspicions towards the two of them were shocked by Yinyi’s bluntness.

Although with Master Lu marrying before them, they could already put up a good attitude to accept the fact of marrying a man, Great Yang was after all not a manly thing after all.

Luo Xiaoliu stood there blankly for a while before shouting, “You …” What are you talking about? Who… Who wants to marry you? “

Luo Xiaoliu, who had lived one life less than Zuo Shaoqing, couldn’t get used to the feeling of having his feelings known to the public at the moment. He almost cried as he stared at Yinyi.

“Yinyi, don’t forget, in the latest law promulgated by the Emperor, it is clear that men who marry without an imperial edict are not allowed to do so. That is to say, you two are unable to become formal husbands …” “Husband.”

“This subordinate understands, but this subordinate and Luo Xiaoliu do not need that. This subordinate only wants everyone to know about the two of us.” At the very least, if something like this happened again, he and Luo Xiaoliu would not have to fight.

Zuo Shaoqing never doubted Yinyi’s sincerity. He directly replied to Luo Xiaoliu’s suggestion, “Alright, since you two have no parents or brothers, then there’s no need to care about being ostentatious. Choose a day to hold the feast.”

“No …” “Lord Third …”

“Many thanks to Lord Third for getting married!” Luo Xiaoliu and Yinyi spoke at the same time. However, Luo Xiaoliu was obviously not confident enough and the sound of rejection turned into saliva in Yinyi’s eyes and they swallowed it together.

Luo Xiaoliu grudgingly thought: Other people have dowry and dowry, why does he only have a simple wedding feast left? This isn’t fair!
