The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

Chapter 399: Rushing to Be a Matchmaker

"Thank you, Regent!"

After hearing Jun Moyue's words, everyone drank up the tea in their hands. General Zhao led several generals to the center of the tent, knelt down, and kowtowed to Jun Moyue to express their gratitude.

"Get up, no need to be polite, this is what you deserve! Da Xia has always owed you!"

Jun Moxie waved to the generals and asked them to stand up.

General Zhao and the others looked at each other but did not stand up. General Zhao kowtowed to Jun Moye again and said, "Regent, I have a favor to ask. I hope you can fulfill it!"

"Get up and talk!"

Jun Moyue gestured to Leng Yi who was standing nearby. Leng Yi understood and quickly walked up to the generals and helped them up.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask for mercy for those soldiers who died on the battlefield. Please ask Your Majesty to urge the officials in the court to send their pensions to their families as soon as possible!"

After General Zhao stood up, he looked at Jun Moyue with red eyes and a pleading look on his face.

"I have made note of this matter. With me watching over it, I don't think anyone will dare to embezzle their pensions! In addition, I will order that the families of the fallen soldiers will be exempt from tax for five years!"

Jun Moyue thought of those corrupt officials, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. Now that the foreign enemies have been eliminated, it is time to clean up the court thoroughly!

"I thank the Regent on behalf of the soldiers!"

"Thank you, Regent!"

After hearing Jun Moyue's words, several generals knelt on the ground again and kowtowed to him with excitement!

"Okay, hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold!"

Jun Moyue glanced at Lin Xi who was sitting quietly, and spoke to General Zhao and others.

Several people stood up with a smile, returned to their seats, offered tea to Jun Moye, thanked Lin Xi, and started eating while talking and laughing!

"Wow! Miss Lin, your cooking skills are really good! Old Cao is so lucky to have a niece like you!"

"Lao Cao, you are so enviable!"

"I don't know which young man will be able to marry such an outstanding girl like Miss Lin!"

Several generals ate the food with big mouthfuls, praised Lin Xi endlessly, and cast envious glances at General Cao!

"Lao Cao, my eldest brother's eldest son is a few years older than Miss Lin. He is very outstanding. You have seen him in Beijing before. What do you think of him? How about we become in-laws?"

General Wang, who was sitting next to General Cao, suddenly leaned close to General Cao's ear and whispered.

"Your nephew is indeed good, but I can't make the decision on this matter. I have to ask Lin Xi's parents first!"

General Cao picked up a piece of large intestine and put it in his mouth, saying in a low voice.

"Miss Lin's marriage must be discussed with her parents. Old Cao, you must say a few good words for my nephew when the time comes!"

General Wang put his arm around General Cao's shoulder and whispered.

"Okay, no problem. If Miss Lin Xi proposes marriage, I will definitely mention your nephew to my sister!"

"It's not enough to just mention it. I have to speak well of my nephew's excellence. Besides, our family is different from other families. We don't have those red tapes. A girl as free and easy as Miss Lin will definitely not be constrained if she marries into my family!"

Seeing that General Cao was only focused on eating and didn't seem to care much about what he said, General Wang quickly grabbed his hand holding the chopsticks and spoke to him solemnly.

"Old Wang, I understand. Don't worry. I have a good feeling about your nephew. I will talk to my sister about it. But if Lin Xi doesn't like your nephew in the end, don't blame me!"

General Cao's hand was caught, so he had to take his eyes off the dish and looked at General Wang and said with a laugh.

"Don't blame me! Don't blame me! Just give my nephew a chance. If he doesn't catch Miss Lin's eye in the end, then we can only say that he is not blessed enough!"

General Wang happily let go of General Cao's hand, personally picked up a piece of his favorite large intestine with chopsticks and gave it to him, saying with a smile.

The people in the tent all had extremely strong internal strength. Even though General Cao and General Wang had lowered their voices, their conversation was still heard by the other people.

The other generals looked at Lin Xi who was eating quietly, and their minds became active. They frowned and wondered if there was a boy of similar age to Lin Xi in their family!

The general who had no suitable boy sighed quietly and shook his head regretfully.

The other two generals who had men of marriageable age at home came up to General Cao and recommended their sons and nephews to him!

Lin Xi rolled her eyes after hearing this. Was this the great general who was invincible on the battlefield? Why did she feel that they were like a matchmaker at this moment?

The two generals were talking excitedly with General Cao when they suddenly felt that the tent had become a lot colder. They shivered involuntarily and looked around, only to see Jun Moyue looking at them with a gloomy face without saying a word!

"Haha! I am sorry for being rude. I will go back to my seat now!"

The two generals apologized to Jun Moye with a dry smile, and quickly returned to their seats and sat down to eat their food.

"Generals, Miss Lin is still here. Isn't it a bit rude for you to say these things in front of her?"

Jun Moxie put down his chopsticks and said coldly as he looked at the three generals who were recommending their sons and nephews to General Cao.

"Miss Lin, I am sorry for being rude. It is because Miss Lin is too outstanding that I couldn't help myself. Please forgive me, Miss Lin!"

"It's us, the rough guys, who are rude. Please don't take it as an offense, Miss Lin!"

"Yes, Miss Lin, we just like you too much. We don't mean to disrespect you!"

After hearing Jun Moyue's words, the three generals quickly stood up and spoke to Lin Xi with a flattering look on their faces.

They were afraid that Lin Xi would have a bad impression of them, which would affect the image of their children and nephews in Lin Xi's eyes in the future!

"Generals, you think highly of Lin Xi. How could Lin Xi not know what is good for him? However, Lin Xi does not pursue love affairs in his life. I am afraid that you generals will be disappointed!"

Lin Xi stood up, looked at the generals openly, and laughed heartily.

"Ms. Lin Xi, you are still young. You won't think like that in a few years! Brothers, don't fight over it. This is fate. It's destined by heaven. The food made by Miss Lin is so delicious. We can't let her down. We have to eat it all. Come and eat!"

General Zhao stroked his beard and smiled. He looked at Lin Xi with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at his junior.

Lin Xi smiled, said nothing, nodded to General Zhao, and sat down to continue eating.

Jun Moyue silently memorized the three generals in his heart, and secretly decided to investigate their sons and nephews thoroughly after returning to the capital.
