Hua Xi's eyes showed a little glimmer, with tears, and she looked at Bao Qi in disbelief,

"But you...... I didn't even ...... the eight characters."

Bao Qi's expression did not change, he was still resolute, looking at Hua Xi as if he had already measured,

"It's okay, you have. ”

Some old houses, the door creaked open, and a peasant woman of no young age walked in, holding her sleeves and carefully closing the door.

Hearing the sound of the door opening inside, a middle-aged man poked his head out, quite eager,

"How's it going?"

The woman took out a few folded pieces of paper from her cuff and said with some caution,

"It's just three, and it's gone. ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly took it, unfolded it, and frowned,

"Three is fine, three is fine! Cousin, cousin, you are my own aunt! Turn around and hand it over, you will definitely be indispensable!"

Seeing that the other party was smiling from ear to ear, the woman pressed the paper in the other party's hand, and said with some unease,

"These are the best girls in the neighborhood, there are only a few who are not married, I told them that they are big families in the city, turn around, don't pit your cousin and I'll do it!"

"Where is this aunt, I am the one who is cheating, and I can't cheat you! Think about it, this Qifu Gate, but others can't get in after asking for a few lifetimes, just this gift money, just this amount! When the time comes, even if that son has such a slight illness, the family will have to cry and shout that he is willing, thank you It's too late, how can I blame you!"

Aunt Li frowned, and her old face was printed with scrutiny,

"That's right, but today, when I talked about proposing, I looked at the girl of Brother Hua's family, and she seemed a little unhappy on her face, by the way, she had a distant cousin in her family, and she specially asked me if the other party was Qifu, and I was scared of the old woman. ”

The middle-aged man touched his chin, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling for a moment,

"Auntie, you don't understand this, it means that this little girl has a high heart!

Aunt Li was thinking about it, and the man seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes rolled and said,

"You just said that there is a distant cousin in his family, and I don't know ...... this girl"

Aunt Li immediately waved her hand when she heard it, and pouted,

"Not to mention whether the girl is married or not, and the family is not there, just saying that this character is not good. ”

"This children's marriage, which is not the parents' decision, this Qifu matter, she opened her mouth first, even if she wants to go, she is too shameless, no, no, that girl can't!"

The two muttered for a while, and the middle-aged man picked up the three eight-character cards and left, and when he got on the horse, he said that he would go back and send it to the housekeeper, and he would be able to deliver the letter at night.

Bao Qi packed up the back basket used to go out, Hua Xi stood on the side, with a sad face, and had to stop it several times, looking at Bao Qi without saying anything.

Until Bao Qi walked up to her and went to take the paper full of eight characters in her hand, she pinched her fingertips and didn't let go.

Bao Qi looked at the piece of paper and pulled it again before pulling the paper into his hand, slowly folding it, and putting it in the cuff.

"Bao Qi!"

A shout, through hesitation and entanglement, sounded behind Bao Qi,

"Don't go! Let's go find Aunt Li, and we will be able to marry soon. ”

Bao Qi didn't look back, just stared at the bamboo basket under his feet, was silent for a moment, and slanted the corners of his mouth,

"It's useless. ”

She didn't say it, the family Aunt Li said was very likely to be the Qi Mansion.

Just continue to carry the bamboo basket and skillfully carry it on your back.

"Wait a minute!" Hua Xi's voice sounded again, reaching out to stop Bao Qi's steps, "I'll go with you." ”

Bao Qi looked at Hua Xi's eyes, revealing rejection,

"You're gone, what about Aunt Hua and Uncle Hua?!"

Hua Xi didn't speak, but stubbornly stopped Bao Qi.

Although he explained the situation to Father Hua half-truthfully, the other party had already straddled half of his body because of the successive blows, and he could only hold on to the bedside, feeling guilty, but he couldn't stop Bao Qi's decision.

"Didn't I say it, I'm just going to try, maybe your eight characters are not suitable? If it is suitable, it is the will of heaven! It can just save the life of Aunt Hua! Not to mention...... Even if I marry in, that person is seriously ill and inhumane, I won't suffer at all, and I don't care about these titles! But if you go in, Aunt Hua wakes up, won't she have another illness for you?"

Bao Qi's words made Hua Xi not know how to refute, she really didn't want to marry, but she didn't want Bao Qi to do this kind of thing for herself and her family, she was not as open-minded as Bao Qi, and she really didn't have the courage to do it herself......

In hesitation, Bao Qi had already pushed away her blockade and was about to hit the road with a bamboo basket on his back.

Hua Xi hurriedly grabbed a bamboo basket and rushed behind Bao Qi.

"Wait a minute!"

Anyway, Hua Xi finally went on the road with him, and it was not yet noon when he set off, perhaps because he was in a hurry during the day, and when the two arrived in the capital this time, it was still early.

The two hurried to Qi Mansion, it was relatively cold all the way, and there was no crowding that day, so Bao Qi was always worried that Qi Mansion had been closed, and the second Guangshi that had been promised was over.

When he was about to get to the street in front of the door, Bao Qi knew why this was the case.

The team this time is indeed not long, but almost all of them are women, coarse clothes and hairpins, holding eight characters, accompanied by a family member, and they are still telling something.

Although the women in the queue are all from small families, most of them bow their heads, as if they are reluctant.

Bao Qi even saw a few people secretly wiping their tears, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, then let me be chosen to rescue everyone!

When it was Bao Qi's turn, the housekeeper who was staring at the side recognized the two at a glance, and saw Bao Qi take out a figure of eight, and Hua Xi stood aside without action, and his very shrewd eyes lit up,

"Isn't this Miss Hua Xi and Miss Bao Qi, why is there only Miss Bao Qi, I don't know if Miss Hua Xi is ......"

Bao Qi's eyes caught the other party's scrutiny, and explained with a bit of favoritism,

"My cousin has already been married, maybe, there is no blessing to receive the favor of your mansion. ”

As he spoke, he handed over his eight characters again, waiting for the other party's response.

The housekeeper also smiled knowingly, and said that it was okay to Bao Qi, and the servant on the side hurriedly took the eight characters, handed Bao Qi a bag of broken silver, and walked slowly.

Bao Qi took the bag and bowed his head gently, pulled Hua Xi and turned away, not looking back, but his heart was pounding.

A hand reached out to the servant, and before he could make a sound, the paper had already fallen into it, and his eyes swept over the handwriting on it, and suddenly narrowed, and looked at it a few more times.

Then he whispered a few words, took the eight characters that had just been handed over, and walked towards the house in a little hurry.

In fact, I wanted to write about the flower girl several times, and the inexplicable sense of disobedience made me hurry up to give the other party a bonus to the flower girl QAQ, don't blame me, blame her surname for being too embarrassing cough cough cough ~ *******
