Chapter 274: Beating Mandarin Ducks

recalled that Li Ping'er and Yang Xiangwu, the empress dowager of Western Xia, lived in the same village. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Xiangwu is ten years older than her, so Yang Xiangwu has been taking care of Li Ping'er since she was a child. Although the family was poor at the time, Yang Xiangwu would always leave the snacks he was reluctant to eat to Li Ping'er to eat, Yang Xiangwu would help the rich families in the village to do some rough work to earn a few copper plates, and the money earned was also to secretly buy Li Ping'er a few pieces of bright fabric to make new clothes for her. In the eyes of others, they are just a pair of two people who are not brothers and sisters, but who are better than brothers and sisters. Who would have thought that when Li Ping'er grew up and fell in love, she and Yang Xiangwu, who was in the prime of her life, sparked a spark of love, and they both admired each other, but others didn't know.

Li Ping'er was eighteen that year, Yang Xiangwu was twenty-eight years old and still unmarried, and his parents were no longer alive, so he just helped others do odd jobs outside the village all day long, but his hands and feet were very light, and he didn't know where he learned the kung fu of flying eaves and walking on the wall, so behind his back, people in the village said that Yang Xiangwu went to steal other people's things at night and did improper work, so no matchmaker was willing to come to the door to talk to the matchmaker, and no one was willing to marry his daughter to him. And the first suspected target of theft in the rich family's home is Yang Xiangwu, but of course, even if Yang Xiangwu's home and whole body are searched, no property can be found, because Yang Xiangwu will not do this kind of stealing ill-gotten wealth at all.

At this time, Li Ping'er had reached the age when she should get married, but she always had Yang Xiangwu alone in her heart, Yang Xiangwu was still nested in this small village at the age of twenty-eight and was reluctant to go out just to wait for Li Ping'er to fly away with him. Li Ping'er's father was a snob, and when he saw that his daughter was as beautiful as a flower, he wanted to marry her to a good family, so he contacted the matchmaker to go to Zhang Daguan's people in the city and said that the matchmaker wanted to marry his daughter to Zhang Daguan's stupid son as his wife. Li Ping'er was beaten to death and refused to obey, and was beaten many times by her father.

On this day, she secretly ran to the village stream with the bruises on her face to meet Yang Xiangwu. Yang Xiangwu couldn't help but feel distressed when she saw that Li Ping'er's delicate face was now bruised, and when she learned that it was Li's father who wanted to marry her daughter to the stupid son of a rich family she didn't like, she was even more angry, and wanted to go to Li's father to theorize. But was stopped by Li Ping'er, Li Ping'er only begged Yang Xiangwu to take her away and fly away, she was willing to wander the world with Yang Xiangwu.

"Brother Yang, take Ping'er away! Ping'er is willing to wander the world with you, even if it is a meal and a camp, as long as I can be with my beloved, I will be satisfied. ”

Yang Xiangwu saw that Li Ping'er was so sincere, stepped forward and hugged Li Ping'er, and said sincerely: "Okay, big brother, just wait for your words, I have waited for you for eighteen years and finally waited for today." You wait for me to go to the city this afternoon to find a car, how about we get out overnight?" ”

"Okay, I'll listen to my eldest brother."

Although the weather was hot at the time, the two of them hugged more tightly, and when Yang Xiangwu left, he took out a pair of jade pendants from his mother, which were a dragon and a phoenix, which his mother was ready to leave to his future daughter-in-law as a dowry, but unfortunately she died early, and this pair of jade pendants was passed to Yang Xiangwu. Now, Yang Xiangwu handed over the piece of the jade pendant that belonged to Feng to Li Ping'er, which could be regarded as a direct token of love between the two of them. Li Ping'er carefully put away this precious token of love, and also gave Yang Xiangwu a piece of silk handkerchief as a token. So he went back to pack his package, and was full of joy and prepared to elope with Yang Xiangwu tomorrow.

But I didn't expect that the conversation between the two of them had already been overheard by the father who was hiding aside, and in order to prevent his daughter from eloping with a poor boy who was a snitch, Father Li came up with a wonderful solution.

He immediately took a small road and took a carriage to the city, found Zhang Daguan, talked about his daughter, and said that he was willing to marry his daughter right away and pass through tomorrow morning, so that he could receive less gift money, and Zhang Daguan was naturally happy. Father Li found Yang Xiangwu who was looking for a carriage in the city, and Yang Xiangwu was a little weak in order to elope with Li Ping'er, so he fell into Father Li's trap.

Father Li saw Yang Xiangwu and said: "Xiao Wu, you are not too young, I know that you have never married because the direct relationship between you and my family Ping'er is extraordinary." I've figured it out now, I only have this one daughter, and I can't let her live happily for the rest of her life, so I agree to the marriage of the two of you. ”

Yang Xiangwu didn't think much about it when he saw Father Li's sudden change of words, thinking that he had really figured it out, and he was very happy.

"But ......"

"Uncle Lee, but what? As long as you say the conditions, I will definitely promise you half of it, although I don't have much money now, but I will definitely let Ping'er live a good life in the future. Yang Xiangwu said sincerely.

Father Li saw that Yang Xiangwu was a stupid boy, and he sneered at him in his heart. On the surface, he said: "It's just that my Ping'er's marriage is a major event in her life after all, she has an uncle who lives in the Wuyue area, and it is a long way from here to Wuyue, I am too old to walk, and there is no capable person in the family to inform her that this uncle has come to participate in the happy event of her niece." Xiao Wu, if you can see if you can run this trip, just follow my wish. ”

Yang Xiangwu was already very happy to be able to get the affirmation of Father Li and marry his daughter to him, and now he just asked him to go to Wuyue to find Ping'er's uncle to participate in the happy event, which was naturally also due, so there was no doubt that he was ready to run a long way. Li's father was afraid that his daughter would not believe the lies that Yang Xiangwu had made up without saying goodbye, so he used the excuse of asking Yang Xiangwu to leave something for Li Ping'er, so that she could believe that she didn't want her anymore, but went to invite her uncle.

Yang Xiangwu listened to Father Li's idea, so he gave Father Li a piece of silk handkerchief that Li Ping'er had given him before.

In this way, Li's father took this silk handkerchief back, and lied that Yang Xiangwu had fallen in love with other girls in the city and was not ready to elope with her. At first, Li Ping'er thought that Li's father had eavesdropped on their speech, so she deliberately made up this lie to persuade her to marry Zhang Daguan's stupid son. But when Father Li took out the silk handkerchief she used to make love with Yang Xiangwu, her heart was broken, and she had to admit that Yang Xiangwu must have abandoned her. Heartbroken, she wanted to seek death, but was tied up by Li's father and locked up in a firewood room, ready to be sent directly to the city tomorrow.

The arrival of a man in black that night changed Li Ping'er's life, and also made Yang Xiangwu, who was late later, see the entire uninhabited village.
