The old woman spoke helplessly, but from her tone, one could tell how much she doted on her great-granddaughter. The old woman had given birth to six sons in her lifetime, and all six sons had given her many grandchildren, but none of them had given birth to girls. The Xia Family was so masculine that it could shoot straight to the sky.
It wasn't until her great-grandson's generation that she finally gave birth to a girl. How could the whole family not treat her like a treasure? However, even though the old woman looked kind and amiable in front of her great-granddaughter, those who were familiar with the Xia Family knew that the real master of the Xia Family was this old woman.
The old woman's marriage into the Xia Family was a legend.
She was originally a Kangba girl named Dawa. She grew up in the high snowy mountains. Years ago, Xia Yingying's great-grandfather, Xia Wenxuan, came to the snowy mountains to play and saw her. He was surprised by her beauty and casually praised her, saying that if she was willing, he would marry such a beautiful girl.
The next morning, when Xia Wenxuan pushed open the door, he saw Dawa standing at the door with a small bag, saying that she had already told her family that she wanted to go down the mountain with her man. Xia Wenxuan was dumbfounded. He only saw that the girl was pretty, but he didn't expect that she would take it seriously.
The young master of the Xia Family stammered and explained to the girl what he meant. Dawa's tears immediately flowed down. She pulled out the dagger from her waist and held it against her heart. She said to Xia Wenxuan, "Fine! If what you say is false, then plunge a knife into my heart, for you have already broken it. "
The young master of the Xia Family was dumbfounded again. After a while, he stammered that he already had a wife and a child, and that his parents might not necessarily agree to him having a girl from the mountains. After talking for a long time, Dawa was puzzled. Xia Wenxuan couldn't help but be puzzled when he saw her expression, "Miss Dawa, you don't understand what I mean, do you?"
Dawa asked him curiously, "I just don't understand. What does this have to do with me loving you?"
Xia Wenxuan was dumbfounded again. Girls from the snowy mountains were really different from the girls at the foot of the mountain. They didn't understand the pros and cons, relationships, and even some of the etiquette in the human world. Dawa's eyes were as clear as the snowy mountains' spring water. She always saw the most essential thing: you like me, and I like you, so we should be together.
Xia Wenxuan was shocked by Miss Dava's snow-white heart. He brought the girl back to his home. His wife was also born in a wealthy family. She had a good temperament and was a kind person. She fell in love with Miss Daiwa not long after they met. She accepted her as a member of her family and became Xia Wenxuan's concubine. Many years later, Xia Wenxuan and his wife passed away. Dawa became the oldest and most respected elder in the Xia Family.
Xia Yingying was overjoyed to receive her ancestor's promise. She hurriedly said, "Ancestor promised me. I'll leave now. Xia Yingying giggled and kissed Dawa's cheek. She then skipped away like a happy rabbit. Dawa looked at her granddaughter's departing figure and smiled kindly.
Xia Yingying giggled and kissed Dawa's cheek. Then, she skipped away like a happy rabbit. Dawa looked at her granddaughter's departing figure and smiled kindly.
The Xia Family didn't stay in Shuixi. In fact, the An, Song, Tian, and Yang Families didn't stay in Shuixi, except for the Tian family. Of course, they all had mansions in Shuixi. Their juniors often showed up there, but the masters of the families rarely showed up there.
They all had their own spheres of influence and usually handled their own affairs in their own territories. They wouldn't easily go to Shuixi. Only the Tian family moved their "headquarters" to Guiyang City because they lost their positions as Consolation Emissaries in Sizhou and Sinan.
Not long after Xia Yingying left, a sturdy young man over 1.9 meters walked over. Seeing the old woman weaving a fishing net under the sunset glow, the tall and sturdy young man slowed down his steps and walked to her side. He put his hand on his chest and bowed deeply. "Grandma Dawa, may I ask if you've seen Yingying?"
Dawa's fingers were nimbly weaving the fishing net. She smiled at him and said: "Ah, Ge Long. Are you looking for our Yingying?"
The young man called Ge Long smiled bitterly: "Yes, I've been looking for her for a day. But Yingying is too naughty. She played hide and seek with me on the lake on the island."
Dawa chuckled and said slowly: "Ah, she went to Guiyang City. If you want to find her, go there."
Ge Long was overjoyed: "Ah! Thank you, Grandma Dawa. I'll go right away. "
"That child doesn't like to be restrained by her family. Don't tell anyone about her whereabouts, no matter who." Dawa said.
Ge Long nodded repeatedly: "Yes! Ge Long understands. I won't tell anyone. Thank you, Grandma. "Ge Long said and left in high spirits.
Dawa stopped and looked at Ge Long's receding figure. She gently shook her head and sighed: "Alas! You're a good child. It's a pity that our Yingying doesn't like you. If she liked you, she would've fallen in love with you at first glance. Just like me in the past. Why would I hide from you all day? Go, go. The sooner you give up, the sooner you can pursue the girl you should really like … "
…
Ye Xiaotian rented a private residence in Guiyang City. They had a lot of people. Moreover, they had a giant ape and a panda. Renting a house was better than staying in a hotel. This place was relatively remote. The quiet environment was also suitable for studying. Of course, Ye Xiaotian wasn't the type to study.
Unexpectedly, on the fifth day of their stay, Mao Wenzhi unexpectedly fell ill. According to Mao Wenzhi's own words, his body was very "tough". Usually, he didn't have any illnesses or disasters. He didn't expect that he would fall ill just because of a cold. At first, he didn't care about it. He thought that it would be over soon. But unexpectedly, the high fever didn't subside. Instead, it was getting worse and worse.
Ye Xiaotian touched Mao Wenzhi's forehead and said worriedly: "You can't. It's too hot. I'll find a doctor to get you some medicine."
Mao Wenzhi held Ye Xiaotian's hand and said with tears in his eyes: "Big Brother, cough cough cough. Big Brother, I have nothing …"
Ye Xiaotian gently patted the back of his hand and comforted him affectionately: "Don't say that. At least you're still sick."
If it was a normal day, Mao Wenzhi would have already laughed out loud. But at this time, his true feelings were revealed. He actually didn't care about Ye Xiaotian's witty words. Mao Wenzhi said emotionally: "I know that I don't have much ability. Following you, Big Brother, is actually a 'Tolui'. But Big Brother, you don't mind me and are willing to take me in. Why don't you say that I'm a woman? Otherwise, I'll definitely devote my life to you. I'll give birth to your children and carry on the family line. That way, you won't have to worry about not being able to find a wife … "
Ye Xiaotian sighed: "Brother, when you're speaking seriously, you can still say such annoying words. You're really a talent! If I don't take you in, the heavens won't tolerate it. "
This time, Mao Wenzhi finally laughed. Ye Xiaotian also laughed. He patted Mao Wenzhi's hand and said: "Don't let your imagination run wild. Have a good rest. I'll go get the medicine for you."
"I'll go too!" Yaoyao, who was standing by the door, immediately jumped over. Ye Xiaotian said: "You can go too, but don't bring A Big Man or Fuwa. Otherwise, there will always be people following us."
Yaoyao nodded: "Okay!"
Seeing Ye Xiaotian holding Yaoyao's little hand coming out of the house, Hua Yunfei came out of the kitchen with an apron on. He asked: "Big Brother is going out?"
Among them, only Hua Yunfei knew how to cook. The food he made tasted really good. Therefore, every day, he would carry the basket out to buy groceries and come back to make three meals a day for the five of them.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Well, he can't handle this illness on his own. I'll go get the medicine for him."
Hua Yunfei took off his apron and said: "The old hen has just been stewed. It will take a while for it to be ready. I'll go with Big Brother."
Hua Yunfei was about to go with Ye Xiaotian when a bald head flashed in the west wing. Dong Xuebing's shoulders were slumped and his eyes were squinted. He had a sinister look on his face as he walked out. He said slowly: "I'll go too."
Ye Xiaotian said: "Dong Xuebing, why aren't you fiddling with the worms in the house? Why are you going out with me?"
Dong Xuebing said: "They're dead! Almost all of them are dead. I have to go catch another batch of worms. Venerable is going to take the imperial examination and can't refine Gu for the time being. I'll make some preparations first. When Venerable is free, I'll teach Venerable the art of Gu. "
Ye Xiaotian rubbed his nose and said: "Alright then, let's go together. Where are you going to catch worms? "
Dong Xuebing said: "There are mountains in this city. Let's walk around. The worms I'm catching are just for practice. They just need to be slightly poisonous. There's no need for them to be extremely poisonous."
Xia Yingying was wearing an ordinary Yi girl's attire. She sat on a round wooden bridge. She took off her shoes and placed her delicate, white feet into the river. The clear, oily water flowed past her perfectly round and delicate ankles.
Although she was wearing a plain cotton dress, she was still a natural beauty. Her beauty was unparalleled. It was just that this area was sparsely populated and there were not many people passing by this bridge. Thus, no one had the fortune to see such a beauty.
Xia Yingying pouted her little red lips and spread a handkerchief on the bridge. She washed the pears she had bought from a passing pear seller and placed them on the bridge one by one. She then picked one up and opened her neat little white teeth to take a hard bite. It was as if she was biting someone. But who would have the fortune to be bitten by such a beautiful and charming little girl?
Xia Yingying was really a little angry. She had just arrived in Guiyang and that Gorky Gron had caught up with her. Only the ancestor knew where she was going. It must have been the ancestor who told him. It was really annoying. Why did everyone want to bring the two of them together? She didn't like that gorilla at all.
The more Xia Yingying thought about it, the angrier she became. She took another hard bite of the pear and her little feet made the white water splash: "I did say I wanted to marry him, but … please! I was only three and a half years old at that time, what do I know! It's better to find a random man to marry than to that gorilla! "
At this time, Ye Xiaotian and the others were walking in this direction …
