Madame Li proudly brought her reading partner to Ningguancun to catch up on the market. Along the way, she caught a woman she knew who was showing off to someone that she had a scholar in her family. This made her feel very pleased with herself.

As soon as she passed, the women behind her could not help but spit on her.

"Peh, look at her. She's just a top student at home. Maybe she'll be able to become an Elementary Scholar. Isn't that a joke?"

"Of course, what's there to boast about? I've heard my old man say that the selection of officials depends on their looks as well. The imperial court couldn't choose anyone. Look at his face, it was full of goosebumps, like a toad. With that kind of appearance, even if we were to test his name, I doubt they would even arrange for him to become a high ranked official. "

"Yo, your old man is so amazing. He even knows who the imperial government is going to elect as an official. "Our third son looks pretty good. One day my big brother will show you his face and see if he can become a big official in the future."

Madame Li's side continued to place their own scholars first, and along the way, there were also some wives who brought their daughters to attend the gathering. Upon hearing that the young man was a scholar, all the young girls at the prime of their youth looked in his direction.

Madame Li and the others all saw this, and the smile on her face grew even wider. A giant chrysanthemum bloomed on her old face, and her smile became very brilliant.

Arriving at the village of Ningguang, there was a pork stall at the village entrance. The stall was unexpectedly occupied by a girl who looked even more 'manly' than Madame Gao. She was the daughter of the head of the largest family in the village.

She was dressed in a bunch of red muslin. Her waist was almost as thick as a water tank, and she was half a head taller than Gowan.

There was a red silk flower sticking out of the girl's ear. It was a very big one. Those who didn't know it would think that her profession was matchmaking.

The girl naturally heard the discussions of the surrounding people. After all, she had been selling pork in the village for so many years. She had long developed the habit of observing everything and listening in every direction.

This year, she was already seventeen. Because she had the strength, all the men in the village didn't dare to marry her, fearing that she would beat them to death if she disagreed.

Her fingers stuck out like little sticks, and as she spoke, her voice was muffled, like a bell. It was so loud that it hurt the ears of those who heard it. This was something she was used to when she sold pork over the years.

Zhu Rong Rong looked at the weak scholar dressed in a white long robe, her heart immediately started pounding like a little deer in her arms. For a moment, her face was blushing red. She even brushed the hair at the side of her ears and pressed the big flower stuck in her ear.

With a "kacha" sound, she cut off a piece of the pig leg, causing the meat pieces to tremble. The people around were so shocked that they couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing, such a good knife skill!"

Zhu Rong Rong Rong was quite pleased with himself. He opened his mouth and laughed, revealing his large teeth. The sound was so loud that those who wanted to buy meat couldn't help but take two steps back.

Soon, half of the pigs were almost sold out. In the end, all that was left was the hind leg of a pig with a huge elbow. Zhu Rong Rong directly wrapped the big elbow with leaves, tied it neatly with a hemp rope, and then received the case.

"Little sister, it's sold out so quickly today. You should go back and rest. Your sister-in-law has already prepared lunch for you at home."

The Zhu family's old patriarch had long since lost his wife, who gave him four sons and an old daughter. In other words, this Zhu Rong Rong.

Those four sons of his were all big and tall. They all followed Old Man Zhu, even this daughter of his was no exception. When he first gave birth to her, because she was born with a birth weight of 12 pounds, he had forcefully caused her mother to bleed profusely postpartum, causing her to die immediately.

The head of the family didn't blame her for causing his mother's death. Instead, she had only one sister, and they all felt sorry for her. This Zhu Rong Rong Rong was more or less just like her mother. She knew how to do business, which allowed the Zhu family's meat shop to grow to a whole new level.

The Zhu Family's meat stall was located at the intersection between the official village and the official road. There were many people here, and their sales weren't inferior to that of the town. Furthermore, there was no need to pay so much rent.

"Big brother, you stay here and watch for a while, I …" Waiting for someone. " Zhu Rong Rong said shyly.

However, her pouting expression, in the eyes of outsiders, was simply one of malevolence. It wasn't too excessive to describe it as being overly effective. However, in the eyes of her eldest brother, who was at home, he felt that his sister finally had the delicate appearance of a little girl. He wondered if he should add more dowry to the marriage, or if he couldn't keep her from getting married.

Even the young men in his own village didn't dare to marry her, so if there was no other way, they went to the outer village to look for her. There was no problem for the men's families to be poor at all. Their Old Zhu Family's pork stalls would eventually sell for one or two pigs. Over the years, the family had accumulated a lot of savings.

In this Ningguo Village, the Zhu Family could be considered a wealthy family with eight large green brick houses. Therefore, Old Master Zhu's four sons all married into good wives. This made Old Master Zhu very pleased.

However, he also had something to worry about, and that was the daughter of his family's head. Sigh, because she looked so much like him, and her strength was even greater than her brothers. Not only was her strength great, but her throat was also very strong. As a result, all the youngsters who came to look at her were scared away by her.

Two years ago, a matchmaker would come to visit often. Now that her daughter had become an old maid, the matchmaker was too lazy to bother with her.

Right now, the biggest headache for Old Man Zhu was his daughter's marriage. She was already seventeen years old, what could he do? Moreover, this girl was quite high-spirited. If the head of the family died, then the wife would not marry, and if there was a cripple, she would not marry …

Now, the eldest brother of the Zhu family suddenly realized that his own sister's face was red, and she seemed to be in love with someone, so he smiled and asked, "Rong Rong, have you seen the man you like? "Tell your brother that even if he is kidnapped, he will be the one to get married. I will make sure you two get married."

"Aiya, big brother, what are you talking about? It's so embarrassing. " After Zhu Rong Rong said this, she picked up the cloth she used to wipe the meat case, covered her face and turned around.

This scene caused the bystanders to be stunned. That was a cloth that had been used to wipe pork! How could someone like this be considered a girl?
