Chapter 16 Matchmaker: Wu Da, do you want a wife?
After several people recuperated for a while, it was already late spring. Seeing that the weather was getting warmer, everyone discussed and prepared to return to Liangshanpo.
Cao Jie did not mention looking for Pan Jinlian. There are many good women, so why would he really care about a slut who is famous throughout the ages?
Occasionally, beautiful scenes emerge in my mind. That’s because the old Water Margin is so classic that the picture quality of the episodes featuring Pan Jinlian is several times clearer.
That look, that gasp, is unforgettable.
Of course, after a long period of abstinence, the sows will look more delicate and pretty.
This time, Wu Song naturally followed.
As for Wu Da, he was also willing to follow a good brother. You know, he has suffered a lot in recent years, and he has to go to court and pay money every month.
It’s because Wu Song loves drinking and likes to fight with others when he’s drunk.
This time I almost killed someone and got involved in a murder lawsuit. I still get scared when I think about it now.
As for Cao Jie, Wu Da admires him.
He is a good doctor, has a sense of loyalty, and can make a lot of money. He will never treat his brothers unfairly.
"Wu Da, come with us to Yuncheng!"
At the dinner table, Cao Jie invited Wu Dalang.
If we want to completely subdue Wu Song, Wu Da is the key.
If you read the book carefully, you will find that the character of Wu Song has changed a lot.
Although he has always been extremely brave and like a god in terms of combat power, psychologically, readers go from being close to him to being distant from him.
When Wu Song first appeared, people felt the scent of worldly life.
Although he has a bad temper, he loves his family deeply, is consistent in his work, is chivalrous and righteous, and has always been a tough guy who conquers the world and never kills innocent people.
Wu Song at that time, that is, Wu Song with Wu Da's ties, was a heroic neighbor brother, full of warmth towards the world, and his every word and action was in line with my heart and in line with my wishes.
But later, Wu Da died and was betrayed by his sister, and Wu Song became filled with murderous intent.
Many innocent people in Zhang Dujian's family, from his wife to his maids, died at his hands.
After becoming a monk, Wu Song killed the Taoist boy of Flying Centipede in his first trial with the sword, and then killed Flying Centipede. Although Flying Centipede was not a good person, Wu Song did not ask any reason before killing him. He just thought that the other party was bad, and what crime did the poor Taoist boy commit!
Why did Wu Song undergo such a big change?
It’s all because of the word love.
In a short period of time, he suffered two major blows in his life, which caused drastic changes in his outlook on life and life path. He changed from a worldly-minded Wu Jia Jilang to a heartless traveler Wu Song.
His face became increasingly blurred to us.
What Cao Jie wants is a brave tiger fighter, not a one-armed walker.
Cao Jie was extremely sincere.
Wu Dalang was slightly stunned, and so were everyone else.
A few seconds later, Wu Da waved his hands and shook his head, saying, "Second Brother Cao, I, Wu Dalang, can only steam pancakes. People in Qinghe County call me a three-inch-tall tree bark. I am not presentable. If I follow you, I will be laughed at by the heroes of the Jianghu, and I will ruin your reputation for nothing."
"The reputation in the martial arts world is not given by the people in the martial arts world, but earned by oneself. You are Wu Song's brother, who dares to laugh at you, laugh at us? If you dare to laugh, ask if your brother's fist is hard enough?"
Wu Song took a deep breath and said with red eyes: "They dare not call brother by his nickname in front of me, because they are afraid that I will beat them. If I leave, they will bully brother. Second brother, brother Ruan, brother Jiao Ting, I'm sorry that Wu Er can't accompany you to Liangshanpo to enjoy yourself."
After saying that, he gulped down half a jar of wine.
The three Ruan brothers nodded at the same time. This is what brotherhood is all about!
Then, Ruan Xiaoqi slammed the table and said, "Didn't Erlang say that Wu Da and Wu Er should go with us? If we brothers are united, no one can bully Wu Dalang."
"Then let's put it this way. Dalang went to Yuncheng, and I arranged for him to open a hotel. Come, let's have a drink. I wish us a bright future and smooth sailing..."
"Dry!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Brothers, have a drink, I'll go see who it is."
Wu Da got up to open the door. Soon, a fierce middle-aged female voice came over: "Wu Da, do you want a wife? If you do, as long as you open your mouth, I will send her to you later..."
Wu Da smiled innocently. He thought the matchmaker was making fun of him, so he replied, "Then send it over!"
"Okay, you wait."
Back at the table, Wu Da spoke first: "It was an idler who made fun of me."
Wu Song gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to Yuncheng with my second brother. No one will make fun of me anymore."
"Come on, drink!"
Only Cao Jie knew in his heart that the woman was coming.
Soon, the noisy sounds of trumpets and suonas were heard outside the house, just like a family getting married.
"Dong dong dong..."
There was a knock on the door, and someone outside the room shouted, "Wu Da, I've brought your wife to you."
"Boom!"
Wu Song stood up suddenly, gritted his teeth and said grimly: "This is too much, I'll go and take a look." When he knocked on the door angrily and saw the wedding procession in front of him, he was stunned.
"Erlang, please move aside. We are bringing your sister-in-law to you!"
Inside the house, everyone followed Wu Song closely, and several pairs of eyes fell on the young wife riding the donkey.
Poems as proof:
The eyebrows are like willow leaves in early spring, often filled with sadness about rain and clouds;
Her face is like peach blossoms in March, concealing all the charm and beauty of the moon.
The slender waist is graceful, and the restrained swallow is lazy and carefree;
The sandalwood mouth is light, seducing bees and butterflies into chaos.
She has a charming face and a lingering voice, and her beauty is as graceful as jade and she exudes fragrance.
She is only 28 years old, but so pure and sexy. She rides on the donkey's back, wiping her tears silently. She is so weak and helpless that it makes people feel distressed. People can't help but want to hold her in their arms and comfort her.
Wu Da squeezed over to take a look and quickly waved his hand: "No, this won't do. Go back to where you came from, young lady! I, Wu Da, am not worthy of you."
The matchmaker waved the red scarf in her hand and said with a smile, "How can you say that? Many people have begged for it but failed, and you still don't want it even if it's given to you for free. Mrs. Zhang specifically asked you to marry her, and you agreed. You can't go back on your word now."
"A forced melon is not sweet. How can I, Wu Da, be with a woman like this? Not only will it hurt her, but it may also hurt myself."
The matchmaker gritted her teeth, and seeing Wu Er standing aside with a sullen face, she did not dare to threaten him.
"It would have been great if Wu Er had killed someone that day!" the matchmaker thought to herself.
But there is no if in the world, she can only find another way.
The matchmaker rolled her eyes and had an idea in her mind:
"Hey, there are so many men in your family anyway, you guys decide who will marry her. I sent her here, so I have accomplished my mission. Madam Zhang is so merciful that she has even returned your indenture contract to you."
After pulling the young bride off the donkey, the matchmaker sat on it herself, and left with a group of people playing musical instruments.
The whole street was watching the excitement and feeling very surprised.
"Ji Lang, what should we do?"
"Come in, everyone!"
The young wife followed in, tears streaming down her face. She looked at the men, timid and submissive, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
Cao Jie sat on the chair, admired it for a while, then frowned slightly, and finally asked: "Tell me what happened!"
"My...my last name is Pan Jinlian, and I am...I am a maid in Mr. Zhang's family."
"At sixteen..."
"That Mr. Zhang wanted my pure body, and I didn't want to be humiliated, so I told the mistress!"
"The mistress is jealous and says that I seduced the master, so she wants to marry me off!"
"Please help me, sir! If I go back today, I will definitely be beaten to death..."
After saying that, she knelt down on the ground, tears streaming down her face. I felt sorry for her.
Cao Jie looked at Wu Da, who shook his head quickly: "Second brother, you know me well. If I get married in the future, I will only find a match."
"Erlang, you know the three of us brothers, we just want to live happily, eat big chunks of meat, drink big bowls of wine..."
"Ji Lang, you know I am very stubborn. I need a big butt and a big nipple so that the child I give birth to can inherit my family's unique sumo skills..."
"Second brother, don't look at me!" Wu Song said in confusion.
"Cough cough!"
Cao Jie coughed twice, his eyes became sharper, as if he was examining Jinlian.
After a long while, he asked treacherously, "What is the soul you awakened?"
The taboos of the martial arts world are that the soul is the most important thing to a person, so don’t ask too many questions even to your brothers.
Now, there is a weak woman who is likely to have awakened her soul in front of him. Cao Jie is naturally interested in her, more than in sex.
"What is a life soul? I don't know."
Pan Jinlian sat down on the ground pitifully, with a look that made people feel distressed.
Unfortunately, all the people present were straight men and no one felt sorry for them.
"People have three souls: heaven, earth, and man. Among them, the heavenly soul is also called the soul of rebirth. It is the main soul of a person. After a person dies, the heavenly soul returns to heaven and is responsible for reincarnation. What is your soul? Don't hide it, tell me."
Cao Jie shouted, and several burly men nearby looked over in unison. They had a creepy aura and a murderous aura in their silent expressions.
Little Jinlian was also at her wit's end. She wiped away her tears and choked up, "It's a white lotus!"
"I think it's a black lotus!"
"You are really a white lotus! I didn't lie to you, my dear..."
