Chapter 409: Marriage Contract
If you can really find a good husband by throwing hydrangeas, why should the dignitaries and nobles in Kyoto worry about their children's marriages with gray hair?
Thinking so, but looking at everyone's excited faces, Qi Changrong didn't say this in the end, so as not to disturb the Yaxing of others, but it was not beautiful.
So, she retracted her thoughts and tried to find a way to get out of the crowd.
However, Qi Changrong didn't expect that although she wanted to go out, she couldn't resist the more people who wanted to squeeze in.
However, in a short period of time, she was forced to go a few steps inside, if it weren't for Junchen guarding her, stretching out his arm to encircle her in his arms, and enclosing a stable place alive, I am afraid that she would have been squeezed into a meatloaf by now.
A group of five people was finally dispersed by the dense flow of people.
Feeling the atmosphere where even the air seemed to be a little tighter, Qi Changrong shook his head and smiled, and in the increasingly fierce coaxing of others, he couldn't help but raise his voice slightly, and said to Junchen: "The so-called family has a woman and a family begging, or nothing more than that." β
"Brother Ju An wants to leave?" Jun Chen lowered his head, his eyes glued to Qi Changrong's smiling dimples.
Because the place was too noisy, he had to bend down slightly, leaned over Qi Changrong's ear and whispered: "If Your Highness wants to leave, I can take Your Highness over the crowd and find a quiet place." β
"That's it." Qi Changrong shook his head with a smile, in the face of this grand occasion and the lively scene that she had never seen before, the boredom in her heart was miraculously reduced a little: "Since you have come here, it is better to take a good look and see what is the happiness of this folk hydrangea throwing marriage." β
As the words fell, the noise of the crowd rose another degree.
Qi Changrong looked high.
The third floor of the Yingxue Building.
The host of the hydrangea finally appeared, and it was a famous businessman in Tancheng, known as the shopkeeper Liu.
The shopkeeper Liu is about forty or fifty years old, and he has a big belly, and he feels like Maitreya Buddha when he laughs.
And behind him, a girl dressed in bridal clothes and wearing a red tulle was surrounded by four or five maids, and Lianbu followed closely, although she did not show her true face, but under the veil, her eyes were flying, her eyes were rippling, and the faint water was flowing in it, and she was careless.
Looking at her posture again, the lotus step moves lightly, if the willow supports the wind, it makes people feel that her true appearance under the veil must be extremely outstanding.
At this look, Qi Changrong pursed his lips and smiled.
In the veil of the wise man whose eyes are like torches, what can that thin red veil cover?
It's just too much.
Hearing Qi Changrong's secret laughter, Jun Chen, who was caught in his own thoughts, suddenly came back to his senses, lowered his eyes and asked lowly, "What is Brother Ju An laughing at?" β
"I'm laughing, I've finally found a girl who can rival your cousin in appearance." said that it was extremely beautiful, but Qi Changrong didn't even move his eyebrows, and said lightly: "If this is Shangjing, I'm afraid that there will be more people who want to marry." β
There are good women in a family, and they are all wanted, and this statement is never false.
Jun Chen, who didn't care much about who was standing in the attic, subconsciously glanced up.
However, at a glance, he frowned tightly, and his face was quite disapproving.
Come to think of it, he couldn't see how beautiful a woman in a wedding dress would be in front of so many men.
Jun Chen retracted his gaze, and no emotion could be heard in his voice: "I can barely get into my eyes." β
Hearing this, Qi Changrong sighed, and the old god shook his head: "In the face of such a stunning appearance, the general didn't even pay attention to it, it was really a tyrannical thing." β
The atmosphere was created to a certain extent, and the loud coaxing of others completely covered Qi Changrong's complaints.
At this time, the two suddenly heard a muttering voice from the side: "This shopkeeper Liu is really willing to spend his blood, looking at the dress of the woman of the Liu family, isn't it that as long as someone grabs the hydrangea thrown by Miss Liu today, he can immediately marry her and enter the cave room?" β
As soon as the words fell, another tongue voice followed: "Yes, to say that this Liu girl is the only daughter of the Liu shopkeeper, and Miss Liu's name in this area is already excellent, why should the Liu shopkeeper be so anxious?" β
After hearing the gossip that this person deliberately suppressed, the person who knew the inside story of the two points immediately said: "You don't know, this Liu girl is a person who has been married, but because the husband of the marriage is too ridiculous, the Liu shopkeeper retired from this family business in a fit of anger, but the man still did not give up, clamoring for justice, and the Liu shopkeeper had no choice but to make this decision." β
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused a sensation in this small piece.
However, thinking of the reputation of the girl's family, everyone subconsciously lowered their voices.
"Miss Liu actually got married?"
"What's so strange about this, Miss Liu is now seventeen years old, and if she wants to be someone else, I'm afraid she has already married and had children, and I don't know if she is the mother of several children."
"I'm thinking, how ridiculous is the family that once married Miss Liu, so that the shopkeeper Liu, who has always been a good person, will be angry, and he will withdraw from this family with a tough attitude?"
"About the man, I have heard of some, I heard that the man has been living in the flower street and willow lane all the year round, and has been involved with the widow and the woman, the willow shopkeeper seems to have caught him once in the flower building, I heard that at that time, the man called the two most famous girls in the building to be in the room, and the scene was very ......unbearable."
"So rampant?"
"It's shameful."
After a burst of angry scolding, Qi Shaorong almost understood the ins and outs.
It is probably that the shopkeeper Liu didn't know people clearly when he was young, and he signed a marriage contract with a thief after drinking, which almost ruined his daughter's life.
Later, he woke up and wanted to forcibly withdraw the marriage contract, but the man refused to let go, and threatened to ruin the reputation of the girl's family, so that the Liu family had no place in Tancheng.
Therefore, in order to protect his daughter and save her from rumors, Shopkeeper Liu had to make this decision.
Maybe in the eyes of Shopkeeper Liu, even if he chooses a son-in-law at random, he must be better than the rampant thief.
These people's talk was like a storyteller, and the tone was endless, so that Qi Changrong listened to a live version of the storytelling play,
After listening, she sneered, gently tapped the palm of her other hand with a folding fan in her right hand, and said: "I thought it was a story of an infatuated man and a woman, but I didn't expect that this was an unmarried contract that failed to get together and break up." β
After Jun Chen paused, he also said: "In this way, this hydrangea selection is not too unreasonable. β
Since it was a helpless move after being forced, it is understandable.
At the same time that everyone was talking, the pot-bellied shopkeeper Liu also stood on the tall building, looking at the 'young heroes' of Tancheng below through the railing that was high to the chest and abdomen.
Beside her, Liu Yingxue frowned lightly, looked at the crowd of crows in front of her, and asked sadly: "Dad, can you really get rid of the entanglement of the Li family in this way?" β
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Liu was also worried.
But in order to calm her daughter's heart, she couldn't show this uncertainty, so she had to comfort: "Xue'er don't worry, I have arranged for a few martial artists with innocent family backgrounds to hide in the crowd, if the situation is really wrong, they will naturally jump out to grab the hydrangea, no matter what, Dad will never allow you to marry a useless waste." β
Thinking of the Li family, Shopkeeper Liu was like eating a fly, he couldn't vomit it when he wanted to, and he felt disgusting when he wanted to swallow it.
I think that at the beginning, he happily went to the Li family and wanted to fulfill the marriage contract between the two families, but who would have thought that the Li family boy would be so uncompetitive and sleep in Willow Lane, Flower Street.
As long as he thought of the unsightly scene he saw when he went to arrest people, he felt a vicious anger in his heart.
Such a scumbag, how could he marry his daughter!
With a sense of arrogance, he unilaterally withdrew from the marriage contract, and later because of the Li family's entanglement, he single-handedly planned the hydrangea throwing and snatching the kiss in the shortest possible time.
To be honest, Shopkeeper Liu has no bottom in his heart.
He worriedly walked around the crowd, hoping to find a son with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix.
Immediately, his gaze froze, and he even took two steps forward, leaning out of his body with his hands on the railing and looking at half of his body.
He opened his mouth, just as he was about to say something.
However, the heavens seemed to have played a big joke on him, and before he could speak, a voice full of malice had already sounded in the crowd, and the loud voice immediately made the shopkeeper Liu's face change drastically.
"Uncle Liu, why do you have to do things like this? Yingxue has made a marriage contract with Zai since she was a child, and she has a certain amount of affection, even if her uncle doesn't look at the face of the Li family, he has to care about the love between the two families for many years. β
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the crowd.
Hearing this, the shopkeeper Liu held the railing with both hands, his sharp nails even scraped off the red paint on it, and his eyes stared resentfully at the suddenly extra face below, eager to jump off the attic, eat the flesh of the person who spoke, and drink the blood of the person who spoke.
And as the voice landed, the crowd automatically split a way to both sides, allowing the person who spoke to come to the center.
Seeing this person, Shopkeeper Liu took a deep breath, grinded his back molars and said, "Li Shen, you still have the face to appear in front of me!" β
Li Shen is the person who once made a marriage contract with Liu Yingxue.
Facing everyone's curious or suspicious looks, Li Shen, who had a weak posture all over his body, didn't mind, but smiled: "Look at what my uncle said, my fiancΓ©e is here to throw hydrangeas to recruit relatives, how can I, as a fiancΓ©, not come?" β
Underplayed!
Shopkeeper Liu said angrily: "Li Shen, the marriage contract between you and Yingxue has long been out of number, if you leave quickly, I can still save you two points of face in front of your father, if you are still making trouble here unreasonably and ruining my daughter's good fate, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!" β
Li Shen did not answer immediately.
At this time, he didn't seem to be able to hear the disgust in Shopkeeper Liu's words, he only raised his head and stared at a certain place, his wanton and bold gaze crossed over Liu Yingxue beside Shopkeeper Liu, and a surprise flashed in his eyes very quickly.
His fiancΓ©e has a good face.
