The door of the central room was open, and the sunlight shone in, shining on the three loads of betrothal gifts that Mao Wenzhi had brought. The gold light was dazzling and unbearably vulgar.
Ye Xiaotian had wanted to give some elegant betrothal gifts, but Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi agreed that the other party was from a small family, and had never seen the world. If the gifts were too elegant, she would not be able to see the good side. Silk, satin, gold, and silver jewelry would be more practical.
Ye Xiaotian readily followed their advice, and so he bought gold jewelry, silver jewelry, and red satin to his heart's content, as if he wanted to use the silver to knock out the pretty little village girl. Mao Wenzhi volunteered to take over the task, and came to deliver the betrothal gifts.
Yingying looked at the three loads of betrothal gifts in a daze, with a strange expression on her face. Xiao Lu saw that she and Xiao Wei did not have any, and for some reason, she was a little disappointed. It was not that she wanted to marry, but ….. favoring one and discriminating against the other, this was too outrageous!
Mao Wenzhi took out a few coins, and gave them to the servants who came to deliver the gifts, and happily called out, "Sister-in-law, only the three of you live here? Where are the elders in your family? Marriage is such a big thing, shouldn't you tell the elders? "
Xiao Wei suddenly stomped her foot, and angrily and shyly scolded, "This damn bastard, he really sent betrothal gifts! I'll go and kill him! "
Xiao Lu hurriedly stopped her, and a pair of beautiful big eyes stared coldly at Mao Wenzhi, and said, "If you ask me, I think it's better to break this bastard's legs first!"
When Mao Wenzhi heard this, he was not happy, and said, "Ladies, do you know who my eldest brother is? He is a Xiucai! A Xiucai! Now that my eldest brother has come to Guiyang to take the Xiucai test, in the blink of an eye, he will become a Xiucai Master, and can become an official. Why don't you think about it, how many unmarried men can become an official at such a young age? To be able to marry my eldest brother, that is a blessing that you have cultivated for several lifetimes!
Miss Yingying, tell me the truth, are you going to marry him or not? If you don't, then these two ladies, which one of you is willing to marry? Just nod, and I will transfer the betrothal gifts to you. My eldest brother is in a hurry to find a wife, so he is not picky at all. As long as it is a woman, alive, and able to bear children, it is fine! "
Xiao Wei was so angry that she rolled her eyes. What is this, are we that? She said angrily, "Little Lu, you're right. Let's break this guy's legs and cut off his tongue first."
Xiao Lu sneered, "Xiucai to marry our Yingying? Xiucai, he, Xiucai, he. Xified, Mao Wenzhi, and said, and said, "Mao, I said, I, Xiu., I, and, and I, I I, I, I, I Hua, I, I, and, I, I.
I, I, I, Mao, I to you, is, and, and, a, and, a, a, and a a, a. a, a, it, I Mao Mao Mao. Look, you're about to marry my big brother. You can't be a widow after you get married, can you?! Regarding the Flower Creek Duel, if that A Big Man is not willing to let it go, do you think your cousins can help … "
Xiao Lu sneered, and said, "A duel is not a gang fight, and he still expects others to stand up for him? That kind of coward, how can he be worthy of our Yingying? Is he going to let others replace him in the bridal room? "
Xia Yingying, who had been in a daze, heard their words getting more and more outrageous, and was embarrassed and angry. She stamped her feet and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, as if if he wins against the gorilla, I will marry him. I am really angry to death."
Xiao Wei pulled out her knife and said, "Yingying, don't be angry, I will go to his house now and kill that wishful thinking boy."
"Don't …"
Xia Yingying hurriedly pulled her hand, and Xiao Wei looked at her in surprise. Xia Yingying stammered, "Isn't there still the Flower Creek Gathering? Why don't we wait for Ge Long to make a move? "
Mao Wenzhi's eyes widened. Hearing the words of the three, he thought to himself, "This is different from what big brother expected. It seems that this duel is inevitable. This won't do, I better go back and report to big brother, I don't want to be killed with one punch, and the three beautiful wives will be taken advantage of by others."
Mao Wenzhi did what he thought, he turned around and left. Xiao Lu called out, "Hey, where are you going?"
Mao Wenzhi waved his hand and said, "I still have something to do, you can accept the betrothal gifts, this matter is settled."
Xiao Lu rolled his eyes and said to Xiao Wei, "Follow him, see where they live."
Xiaowei agreed and hurriedly followed him out. She hurried to the entrance of the courtyard and stuck her head out to take a look. Seeing that Xiaowei had tiptoed away with Mao Wenzhi, she closed the door and returned. As soon as she saw the central room, she saw Xia Yingying holding onto a piece of red silk, twisting her small waist and gesturing with it.
Xiao Lu coughed, and Xia Yingying immediately calmly threw away the red silk, clasped her hands behind her back, raised her chin, and said disdainfully, "Will I wear such a tacky thing? Humph! "
The corner of Xiao Lu's mouth slightly twitched twice.
After a while, Xiao Wei came back. Xiao Lu was surprised and said, "You lost them?"
Xiao Wei shook her head and said with a strange expression, "Those guys live behind the forest, very close. Speaking of which … they can be considered as our neighbors."
Xia Yingying jumped over and said in surprise, "They live so close? Ha! It's really fate! "
Seeing that Xiao Lu and Xiao Wei were looking at her with a strange expression, Xia Yingying immediately straightened her back, coughed lightly, and said with a straight face, "They were scared by you just now, so they won't sneak away, right?"
Xiao Wei said, "Isn't it good that they slipped away? Being pestered by these ignorant guys, we can just beat them up. They don't have any evil intentions. If we don't beat them up, they treat us like little village girls, and they even put on such a high and mighty face, wishfully thinking of marrying you as their wife. "
Xia Yingying said complacently, "You can't say that. Those who don't know can't be blamed. Besides … he has a good eye."
Xiao Wei's eyes narrowed. "Huh?"
Xia Yingying hurriedly changed her words and said, "I mean … we are going to use him to get rid of Ge Long, right? I ran away from home because I hate Ge Long for pestering me all day long. In the end, when I just arrived in Guiyang, he chased me again. My father also likes him and always wants to matchmake us. It's just right to use this toad to make him give up. "
Xiao Lu thought in his heart, "It's not that your father likes him, it's that your father realized that he used to protect you too much in the past, and as a result, no one dares to approach you. Now he's worried that you won't be able to get married. Otherwise, do you think you can be so carefree, letting you go out without eight or ten cousins following you?"
Xiao Wei thought for a moment and said, "But, what if Ge Long really kills him?"
Xia Yingying said, "Isn't that just right? I have an excuse to ignore him, and my father won't be able to speak up for him anymore. "
Xiao Lu and Xiao Wei looked at each other and were about to guess how credible Xia Yingying's words were. Miss Xia thought she was smart and said, "But, if we don't give that guy a little benefit, what if he is scared away by Ge Long?"
Xiao Lu said, "So what do you mean?"
Xia Yingying said, "My mother said that a man is not afraid to risk his life for the girl he likes. So … it's better for me to sacrifice myself and pretend to let that guy think that I like him! "
Xiao Wei said worriedly, "You don't really like him, do you?"
"Me?"
Xia Yingying's slender fingers gently touched the tip of her nose, and her big black and white eyes became a funny little black dot. "How is that possible? He doesn't have talent, he doesn't have looks, and he doesn't have skills. Why would I like him? Tsk! "
Miss Xia raised her chin to the sky and walked proudly into the inner room.
Xiao Lu murmured softly and said, "Why do I always feel that our Yingying is delivering herself to his door?"
Xiao Wei nodded in agreement. "I think so too."
The curtain of the door was pulled open, and Xia Yingying poked her head out and looked at them suspiciously. "Are you talking bad about me?"
Xiao Lu and Xiao Wei shook their heads together. "No! How could it be … "
"Hmph!" Xia Yingying glanced at them and pulled down the curtain with a swoosh.
"Phew!" The two girls were relieved.
With a whoosh, the curtain was lifted again. Xiao Lu and Xiaowei were startled. They hurriedly raised their shoulders and looked at Xia Yingying. Xia Yingying coughed and asked a little bashfully, "That … which side of the forest does he live in?"
Xiaowei stretched out a finger and pointed in a direction in a daze. The curtain fell back down with a whoosh.
Xiao Lu looked at Xiao Wei and whispered, "What does Yingying want to do?"
Xiao Wei tiptoed over and opened the curtain to take a peek. Then, she tiptoed back and whispered, "She … is changing clothes …"
Xiao Lu covered his face. "Don't tell anyone that I know her. I can't afford to lose that person …"
Mao Wenzhi hurried back to his residence and did not mention the girls' reactions. In his opinion, it was all an act. He was afraid that they were already willing. The three girls were willing to marry together. There was only one thing that was really urgent: the meeting at Flower Creek.
When Ye Xiaotian heard that the girl's cousin would not help, he could not help but feel nervous. Hua Yunfei saw that Ye Xiaotian was in a difficult position. He stood up and said, "I will fight him!"
Mao Wenzhi said, "You? Forget it. Are you going to the bridal chamber? He already said that he will not help. "
Dong Xuebing coughed lightly and narrowed his eyes. He said gloomily, "Venerable, maybe I can help."
Ye Xiaotian was overjoyed. He said, "What good idea do you have?"
Dong Xuebing raised his right hand and a white jade bottle the size of a thumb appeared in front of Ye Xiaotian and the rest. The sunlight shone through the white jade bottle and a shadow was twisting inside. Ye Xiaotian, Hua Yunfei and Mao Wenzhi raised their heads and looked at the bottle in his hand with infinite admiration. Mao Wenzhi said, "What is this?"
Dong Xuebing said, "This is the Marrow Sucking Gu. It is made from eighty-one poisonous centipedes! As long as we find that person and plant this Gu in his body, it will only take three days to silently suck his bone marrow dry and let him die silently. "
Ye Xiaotian said, "This … is too ruthless. It is not to the extent of killing. Is there a Gu that can help me defeat him without killing him? "
Dong Xuebing nodded solemnly. "Yes!"
Dong Xuebing raised his right hand and took out a red bottle. "This Gu is used to replenish vitality and extend the life of a dying person. If a dying person takes this Gu, they can live for three days. If a normal person takes this Gu, their stamina, speed and reaction speed will increase by at least five times. "
"Five times!"
Ye Xiaotian's eyes shone as he thought. "If my strength is increased by five times, I think … I have some confidence in dealing with him. Hehehe, give it to me quickly!"
Mr. Dong Xuebing shook his head and said regretfully, "But … Venerable, you are immune to all Gu!"
