The horse racing tournament in the Dawn Moon Country ended lively. I returned to the inn with An Yuanxi, and the scene on the field today made me feel a little unhappy. Maybe it's the big woman who is at work, and I'm very unhappy that Ouray casually revealed my surname without my consent, including his strong gift-giving behavior, which also makes me feel very disrespectful. In my previous life, I particularly hated some actions that others carried out without my consent, such as the so-called persuasion culture at the banquet, such as the blind date arranged by my parents without saying anything, such as the show of love that seemed to surprise a woman in front of the public, but was actually more like my own showmanship, all of which made me particularly disgusted.

I remember reading a social news in the newspaper in my previous life, after a couple of men and women broke up, the man stood at the door of the woman's company every day, holding a sign with the words "xxx, I love you, please forgive me", and when the woman came out of the company, she knelt in front of her and made a "touching" declaration of love. It made women feel uneasy at work all day long, were secretly discussed and pointed at by colleagues, and were watched by people when they left the company, which seriously affected the normal life and work of women, and they were so nervous that they almost went crazy, and finally couldn't bear to hit "110" before they drove the man away. I remember that this incident has also caused extensive discussion, and those who support men say that such a man is so affectionate, that he made such a move out of love, that a woman should forgive him, etc., while those who support a woman say that such a man does not love that woman at all, otherwise it will not bring this kind of mental distress to a woman at all, and it is completely selfish and self-interested.

I remember when my colleague threw me the newspaper, I once laughed that the woman was too soft-hearted, and at first she had to save some face for the man, and she was tortured so much that she couldn't stand it before she knew to call "110", if I was the first time he appeared in the company with a sign, I would find a basin of water to pour on his head, so that he was sober and sober, and not to play this childish and boring trick. Then there was a burst of laughter with colleagues in the office.

Today, inexplicably, I also became the heroine of this similar oolong incident, I held my breath, and I was afraid of the face of this country, the customs of this nation and the identity of that man, and I couldn't attack at will, which made me very depressed. Sullen and unhappy, I went back to the room, I asked An Yuanxi to go back to pack his things, and set off early tomorrow morning to return to Cangdu. Unexpectedly, not long after returning to the room, Chibei sent me a lot of congratulatory gifts, and I watched in amazement as he instructed the servants to move things into my room, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Chibei, what's going on?" ”

The things he had brought into my room, including gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin, and precious medicinal herbs, were piled up in a mess. Chibei took out a fold from his arms, handed it to me, and said with a smile: "Miss Ye, this is the dowry gift that our Prince Wulei gave you. ”

Dowry? Confused, I opened it and saw that in addition to listing the things that had been sent to my room, there were also ten horses, thirty oxen, and one hundred sheep. I looked up at Chibei with a smile and said in an unkind tone, "Brother Chibei, what's going on?" When did I promise to marry your prince? ”

Chi Bei smiled slightly, bowed and said, "Miss Ye, you agreed to our prince's marriage proposal in front of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs of Yaoyue Kingdom today, have you forgotten?" ”

"It's not funny at all." I straightened my face and said unhappily, "Brother Chibei, you are a cheerful person, don't beat around the bush with me." ”

"Miss Ye, you accepted our prince's golden sword at the horse racing conference today, according to the customs of our Yaoyue country, the warrior who won the golden sword at the horse racing conference, if he gave the knife to a man, it means that he is willing to worship that man as a brother, if he gives the knife to an unmarried girl, it means that he proposed to that girl, and if the other party accepts the golden knife, it means that he has agreed to the request." Seeing that I was unhappy, Chibei explained: "The girl accepted our prince's golden sword in front of everyone today, and said that she had agreed to the prince's marriage proposal, so the prince sent me to send these dowry gifts and chose to marry the girl." ”

My head is full of black lines, this and this ......, this is also outrageous. I was angry and anxious, and said angrily, "You have such a custom, why didn't you explain it to me at the beginning?" Still urging me to take his knife in a daze? ”

Chi Bei's eyes widened, with an expression on his face, and he said in surprise: "Miss Ye, it is a great honor for us to be married by a winning warrior at the horse racing conference, why are you so angry?" ”

"Joke, I'm not from Yaoyue Country. Brother Chibei, I respect the customs of your nation, but it does not mean that I will blindly follow your customs. I exclaimed angrily, "What kind of customs you have is your business, I don't know your customs, as a courtesy, you should at least explain to me, and you should not hide anything, this is the minimum respect for the guests, in vain you still claim to be a hospitable and courteous people!" ”

"Why doesn't Miss Ye understand, our prince is ......sincere to the girl," Chi Bei defended himself. I interrupted him and sneered: "These are two different things, please don't mix them up, Brother Chibei, tell me honestly, did your prince arrange the gift of knives at this horse racing meeting early in the morning?" ”

"This ......," Chibei looked at me embarrassedly, "A few months ago, our prince heard that the girl had solved his problem, and solved the mystery of Master Fu's tribute little golden man, and he already admired the girl very much, so he ......"

"So?" I sneered, I kind of understood. What came to me to produce the embroidery tribute of the Yaoyue Kingdom, what had to be done to the imperial capital to pay the remaining half of the payment, what the privy envoy made a special trip to receive it, and what horse racing conference was all arranged by His Royal Highness the Prince, in order to create this unfortunate situation. Is what he wants really a tribute from our Splendid Village? I'm afraid that in his eyes, I'm the tribute, right?

A deceitful anger burned me almost out of my mind, I grabbed the golden knife that Oulei had given me on the table, and threw it to Chibei: "I'm sorry, Brother Chibei, I can't stand the kindness of your prince, please return this knife to him on your behalf." ”

Chi Bei caught the golden knife and was taken aback: "Miss Ye, how can this be?" ”

"Why can't that?" I sneered, "You can design for me to accept the golden knife in a daze, and I won't be able to return it to you clearly?" ”

"Miss Ye, in our Yaoyue Kingdom, there has never been a precedent of accepting a golden knife and then returning it, which is a great insult to the warrior who grabbed the sword." Chibei looked at me seriously and said cautiously, "Please think about it carefully, if you return the golden knife, the consequences will be extremely serious." ”

I took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in my heart, and thought about it. What Chibei said does make sense, it is about the face of the royal family of Yaoyue Kingdom, I can't be so impulsive, but I can't just lose the happiness of my life in such a daze. An Yuanxi was probably alarmed by the noise in my room, walked over from his room, saw the dowry all over the ground, and was slightly stunned: "Miss Ye, what happened?" ”

I glanced at him, turned to Chibei and said, "Brother Chibei, please tell your prince that I will visit him early tomorrow morning." "Reason with the prince first, see what he has to say, and then make a plan.

Chibei thought that I had figured it out, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "I will definitely tell His Royal Highness the prince that I will not disturb the girl's rest and take my leave." With that, he put the golden knife in his hand on the table and hurried away.

An Yuanxi sent him out, closed the door and came in, a little unclear about the situation, and said in a daze: "Miss Ye, aren't we going to leave for Cangdu tomorrow?" Why are you going to visit His Royal Highness the Prince again? ”

I picked up the golden knife that Chi Bei had just put on the table, and a mocking smile appeared on my lips: "Manager An, do you know what this knife I received today is for?" ”

"Didn't Prince Urey say it was a gift for a distinguished guest?" The nerd didn't seem to understand the customs of the steppe either, so I shook my head and sighed, sneering, "Gift? yes, it's a gift. However, it is a gift of love. ”

"Commitment?" An Yuanxi was stunned, I threw the knife to him, sat on the chair, and sneered: "Yes, their customs on the grassland, if you accept this knife, I have to marry him." ”

"What?" An Yuanxi's face turned white, "You promised him?" ”

"If you accept it, you will agree." I didn't realize what he meant by asking, and said lazily, thinking about how to convince Prince Urey to take back the golden sword tomorrow.

"How can you just promise him that? How can a marriage be a child's play? How can you decide with just a knife? An Yuanxi's face flushed, and his tone became excited, "You ......, did you really agree to him?" ”

Why is he so angry? I was stunned, remembering the pedantic surname of this nerd, and suddenly remembered what he said in the carriage a few days ago, and couldn't help but tease him again, I laughed and said, "What happened to me promising him?" ”

"You ......, you don't have the order of your parents, and you don't have the words of a matchmaker, it's really rude, Miss Ye, you're too ......" An Shudu, it seems that he is about to preach again. I sighed, put on a resentful expression, and interrupted him in a complaining tone: "Mr. Ann ......"

When he saw my expression, he froze and swallowed the preaching back into his stomach. I glanced at him faintly and said in a low voice: "Manager An, didn't you say that no one dares to marry a woman like me?" In fact, I know it myself, a woman like me, with a bad temper, has to show her face in order to live, and she has long been looked down upon as improper, who dares to ask for it? ”

He blushed and looked at me nervously: "Miss Ye, you ......"

I continued to sigh: "Now it's rare that someone doesn't mind me and is willing to marry me, so why shouldn't I agree?" What's more, Prince Oulei's conditions are so good, even if it is a girl with a good reputation, it will not be a disadvantage to marry him, let alone a ...... like me"

"Miss Ye, don't talk about yourself like that!" An Yuanxi had an uneasy look in his eyes, stammered, and said in a chagrinated tone: "It's Yuanxi's unscrupulous words, where is the girl so unbearable, you must not belittle yourself." ”

"You're not wrong......" I laughed in my stomach so much that my bowels were almost knotted, but I still had a self-pitying expression on my face.

"Miss Ye, you are a very good person, I am talking nonsense, don't take it to heart, don't look down on yourself because of this, and agree to this family affair casually......" An Yuanxi's face turned red, with a guilty face, seeing my resentment, he wanted to come over to comfort me, but he felt rude, and he didn't stand or sit for a while, so he almost hit the wall and apologized for his sin.

I saw An Yuanxi's helpless appearance, and finally couldn't help it, "haha" laughed: "...... An, Manager An, aren't you?" Do you really believe it......"

An Yuanxi saw that I couldn't straighten up with a smile, and suddenly came to his senses, and realized that he was being tricked by me again, so he glared at me angrily: "Miss Ye, you ......" You didn't say anything for a long time, and when you saw me laughing so much that tears came out, you pressed the golden knife in your hand to the table with a "snap", and turned your head and left in anger.

"Manager An......" I hurriedly stopped him, although it was fun to bully this nerd, but now was not the time for him to lose his temper, I breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly: "You go back and pack your things as usual, and come out of His Royal Highness the Prince tomorrow, and we will set off directly back to Cangdu." ”

He glanced back at me, saw that I had taken in the exaggerated smile, turned his head, gave a sullen "um", pushed the door and went out. I smiled lightly, this idiot is really stupid and a little cute. Being stirred by him like this, my mood also improved a lot, I turned my head to look at the golden knife on the table, and my head suddenly grew again. That, what did the kindergarten teacher say? Don't just accept gifts from others. Ye Haihua, Ye Haihua, you are really going back more and more, who told you not to listen to the teacher, trouble is coming, right?
