Chương 281: The Buttocks Trio

Dian Wei's brows furrowed even more.

He walked halfway around Miss Liu, his gaze lingering on her waist and hips, scrutinizing her closely for a while. Then, scratching the back of his head, he whispered to Cai Yan, "Sister-in-law, this won't work."

Cai Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she asked in a low voice, "Where is it not allowed?"

Dian Wei said earnestly, "Too thin! Look at that thin waist and small hips, she's obviously not good at bearing children. My mother said that when you marry a wife, you have to marry one with big hips, so she can give birth to a big, healthy boy! This girl... I'm afraid she'll have a hard time even giving birth to one."

He thought he was speaking very softly, but even if he spoke "softly," everyone in the private room could hear him clearly.

Miss Liu froze on the spot, then burst into tears, covered her face, and ran out.

The maidservant who was following behind was so anxious that she stamped her feet, glared at Dian Wei, and chased after him.

The matchmaker was so embarrassed her face turned green. She said to Dian Wei, "General Dian! You... you... how can you talk like that!"

Dian Wei, feigning innocence, said, "I'm telling the truth. Isn't the purpose of marrying a wife to have children and carry on the family line? A big bottom is good for childbirth; that's what my mother said, and it's absolutely true!"

Cai Yan sighed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

When the news reached the Prince's Mansion, Zhang Ning, Ren Hongchang, and others laughed uproariously.

Zhang Ning wiped away tears of laughter and said, "That idiot Dian Wei! How could he say someone has a small butt in front of a girl!"

......

Next up is Xu Chu.

Zhang Ning arranged for him to be the daughter of a family that owned a traditional Chinese medicine clinic. Her surname was Li. Miss Li had been learning medicine from her father. She was straightforward and healthy.

Having learned from Dian Wei's "lesson," Xu Chu decided to get straight to the point and not beat around the bush.

The two met in the herb garden in the backyard of the clinic.

Miss Li was drying herbs when she saw Xu Chu arrive. She greeted him politely, saying, "General Xu."

Xu Chu clasped his hands in a fist salute, looked her up and down, and thought, "Hmm, she's a bit stronger than that Miss Liu from last time, but still not strong enough."

He asked directly, "Miss Li, I'm a rough man and speak bluntly, please don't mind. I just want to ask, are your butts big enough?"

The goji berries that Ms. Li was holding scattered all over the ground with a "whoosh".

Xu Chu, thinking she hadn't heard him clearly, repeated himself earnestly, "I said, are your butts big enough? Can you bear children? I'm not picky about anything else, I just want to have a lot of kids so they can fight alongside our lord in the future! If you can have children, I'll marry you!"

Miss Li's face turned from red to white, then from white to green. Her lips trembled as she pointed at Xu Chu, stammering, "You... you... you..." Finally, she stamped her foot, cried, and ran back into the house, shouting, "Father! This man is a lecher! A rogue!"

The old doctor rushed out, wielding a pestle, and chased after Xu Chu, yelling, "Get out! Get out of here! You scoundrel!"

Xu Chu dodged while complaining, "What did I do? I was just asking the truth! What else should I ask when choosing a wife?"

The news reached the Prince's residence again, and this time even Liu Ce heard about it.

Liu Ce was reviewing official documents in his study when he heard this. He spat out a mouthful of tea, laughed so hard he slapped the table, and exclaimed, "That silly boy Zhongkang! He's even more honest than Dian Wei! What kind of blind date is this?!"

Cai Yan, Zhen Jiang, and the others laughed until their stomachs hurt.

Ren Hongchang wiped away his tears and said, "These two clowns... they're so stubborn! Who goes on a blind date like this?!"

Zhang Ning laughed so hard he almost choked, saying, "But what they said... is rough but true. When looking for a wife, you really have to look at her physique."

Cai Yan shook her head and said, "That makes sense, but we can't say it like that. We need to think of a way..."

Zhen Jiang wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and said, "No, no, these two fools, we need to try a different approach. How could an ordinary young lady stand this?"

In the end, Zhen Jiang had a solution.

Through connections with the trading company, she found the daughters of two moderately wealthy merchants.

Both families started out in the livestock trade. The girl had been helping her family since she was a child, so she grew up strong and sturdy, and had a bold and straightforward personality. She wasn't easily shy.

The meeting was arranged to take place at a manor outside the city.

When Dian Wei saw the first Miss Sun, his eyes widened, not because of her face, but because of her figure.

Miss Sun was about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was half a head shorter than Dian Wei, but she had broad shoulders and a thick back. Her arms were as thick as an ordinary man's. In particular, her waist and hips were round and heavy, and she walked with a powerful stride.

Dian Wei chuckled and leaned closer to Zhen Jiang, whispering, "Sister-in-law, this girl... her butt's pretty big, isn't it?"

Zhen Jiang nodded, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Why don't you see for yourself, E'lai?"

Dian Wei circled Miss Sun twice, growing more and more satisfied with her. He slapped his thigh and exclaimed, "She's the one! This girl is exceptional! She looks like she could give birth!"

He approached Miss Sun, clasped his hands in greeting, and said, "Miss Sun, my name is Dian Wei, a general under the command of the King of Yan. I'm an honest man, and I just want to find a fertile wife so we can have several children. If you're willing to be with me, I promise I'll treat you well, never hit or scold you, and always give you the best food!"

Miss Sun was not one to mince words. She had long heard of Dian Wei's bravery and knew that the generals under the Prince of Yan had a bright future.

Seeing that Dian Wei, though simple and honest, had clear eyes and spoke frankly, she said frankly, "General Dian is straightforward, and I, a woman, will not hide anything either. I am strong and have worked since I was a child, so I am sure I will have no problem bearing children. As long as the general does not mind my clumsiness, I am willing."

Dian Wei was so happy he almost did a somersault on the spot, rubbing his hands together and laughing, "I don't mind at all! I like you just the way you are!"

On the other side, Xu Chu met the second Miss Ma, and the process was similar.

Noticing Xu Chu staring at her, Miss Ma asked, "General Xu, what are you looking at? Do you also think my butt is big?"

Xu Chu nodded honestly and said, "Great! Good! It can reproduce!"

Miss Ma grinned and said, "That's right! My mother gave birth to seven of us siblings, and I take after her. How many children does General Xu want?"

Xu Chu stretched out his hand and said, "Six! No, seven or eight!"

Miss Ma clapped her hands and said, "Alright! As long as the general can afford it, I can have the baby!"

The two immediately arranged their marriage.

When the news spread, Dian Wei and Xu Chu boasted about it to everyone they met.

In the military camp, Dian Wei patted his colleague on the shoulder: "Old Qin! I'm engaged! My wife has such a big butt!"

He gestured with his hand in an exaggerated arc, "She'll definitely give birth to a big, healthy boy!"

Xu Chu went even further, shouting right there in the horse stable, "My wife said she's going to give me seven or eight! They'll all fight alongside our lord in the future!"

Cheng Yaojin, listening nearby, was itching to try it himself. He tugged at Zhen Jiang's sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! What about me? I want one too!"

Zhen Jiang smiled and comforted him, "Zhijie, don't worry, I've found you someone even better."

The woman introduced to Cheng Yaojin was a young lady from a declining minor noble family, surnamed Zheng.

Although her family background was not as prestigious as before, she was extremely well-mannered, virtuous, and a good homemaker. She was also quite beautiful, with a plump and round figure. As Cheng Yaojin later remarked, "Her bottom was round and plump, like a millstone; she was clearly a woman who would bear many children!"

After meeting Cheng Yaojin several times, Miss Zheng felt that although he was rough and bold, he was also straightforward and meticulous, brave in battle, and a favorite general of the Prince of Yan, so she nodded in approval.
