Chapter 230: The King of Flower Boats
Compared with the excitement in front, the Yuan Quanquan is more interested in the affairs of this female water ghost at the moment. She gave up joining in the fun, but stood in place, looking thoughtfully at the female water ghost in the water.
Although the female water ghost looked a little scary, from a distance, her face was quite delicate. Yuan Quanquan was thinking about her relationship with the young man who was just now, when she suddenly saw the female water ghost startled, and looked at the opposite riverbank.
Yuan Quanquan wondered, looked up at the other side of the river, and just saw Jieya and Qi Dui coming from nowhere, Jieya was still carrying a large bag of unknown things in his hand, and his face was a little stinky and walked in front, Qi Dui followed him helplessly.
And when she looked back into the river, the female water ghost was gone.
Jieya also saw the Yuan circle and waved at them on the other side.
This female water ghost didn't know if she was scared away by Jieya and Qi Duan, even if the Yuan Quanquan had doubts, she could only put this matter aside. After crossing the bridge and meeting with Jieya, looking at the things Jieya was carrying, and then at Qi Dui's expression behind him, the eyes of the Yuan circle glanced back and forth on their faces.
Jieya was furious at her back by her strange eyes, and took a small step back, "What kind of eyes are you?" ”
Yuan Quanquan retracted her ambiguous gaze and coughed lightly, "It's nothing, where did you run just now?" Why didn't I see you? ”
"We're on the other side! I can see you, tsk, you can hear your voice outside the city. ”
Yuan Quanquan was ruthlessly complained, but he only shook his hair indifferently, "On this exciting occasion, what's wrong with me shouting twice?" It's called following the locals. ”
The customary Yuan Circle saw that everyone had gathered, and the female water ghost was gone, so he wanted to join in the fun again.
Several people followed in the direction where the crowd had just flocked, and finally came to a large mansion.
The outside of the house is surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the house, and the people are full of people and lively. Several people in the Yuan circle stood outside the crowd, looking up, and the three big characters of "Sikong Mansion" hung on the lintel, which looked magnificent.
Yuanquanquan heard someone in the crowd discuss: "I heard that this year, the Sikong City Lord wants to marry his only baby daughter to the King of the Flower Boat, I don't know if it's true or not." ”
"I've heard that, too. It is said that the daughter of the city lord first fell in love with Bai Yan's kid and firmly believed that he could win this year's king of the flower boat, so she asked for it, saying that whoever won the king of the flower boat, she would marry whomever she wanted. ”
"Really? I really didn't expect that Miss Sikong would actually fall in love with Bai Yan, that poor boy. That kid really had shit luck. ”
"Isn't it!"
Yuan Quanquan stood behind the two people who spoke, and after hearing these words, he roughly sorted it out.
This Sikong Mansion is the mansion of the city lord of Yanbo City, and the young man named Bai Yan is the owner of the bubble boat that hung a bell in the Yuan circle just now, and bet money on the right treasure, that is, the king of the flower boat this year. And because he was favored by the daughter of the city lord's family, he got this king of the flower boat, and he was about to marry the daughter of the city lord, and he became a rich aunt from a poor boy.
Well, it's a Mary Sue love story, it's very cheesy and old-fashioned.
But since ancient times, the more vulgar and old-fashioned the story, the more people watch.
The group of people on the periphery of the City Lord's Mansion all came to see the excitement.
In the center of the crowd, this year's King of Flower Boats, a handsome young man named Bai Yan in a short shirt, stood outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, facing the people on the steps, his face full of joy.
Yuan Quanquan was short, standing at the outermost part of the crowd, blocked by layers of human walls, and couldn't see the scene inside, so he stretched his neck on tiptoe, wishing that he would become a giraffe.
Just as she was about to jump up and look, she suddenly felt a tightness in her legs, and then her whole person was picked up vertically, and she jumped up all of a sudden, and her vision suddenly widened, and her gaze crossed the layers of human walls and fell straight to the center.
She was startled, and immediately looked down, and looked at her with her head held high and the corners of her mouth slanted, "This king has said, what the small circle wants to do, just talk to this king, any request this king will meet you." ”
Yuan Quanquan lowered his eyes, looking at the posture of him holding her, it was the first time he was picked up like this, and it was in front of so many people in public...... Feeling the strange gaze projected from all around, Yuan Quanquan patted the shoulder of the meditation cultivator and whispered, "You let me down, there are so many people!" ”
Meditation is a master who never takes care of others and no others, he did not put down the Yuan Circle as he said, but was afraid that she would not see it, and swept the person up, "This king holds his own princess, it is natural, are you still afraid of others looking at it?" ”
Yuan Quanquan: "......" had an urge to cover his face, and Yuan Quanquan felt again that the face of a certain skeleton ghost was really thick.
If someone doesn't listen, the Yuan Circle has no choice but to let him, which is really convenient to see.
Yuan Xiaobao, who was being held by Xiao Zhi and Xiang'er next to him, saw this situation, was silent for a moment, and then shouted: "Mother, I also want to hold it high." ”
Yuan Quanquan looked down at him: "......"
The cultivator didn't even look at the little zombie, and concentrated on holding his princess.
Yuan Quanquan looked at the little radish head that was only as tall as a person's thigh, thinking that he could only see everyone's buttocks when he raised his eyes, he was also sad, thought about it, and suddenly saw Yan Jiu on the side, and pointed at him, "You let Yan Jiu hold you." ”
Yan Jiu was named, glanced down at Yuan Xiaobao, and then at his two masters, was silent for a moment, squatted down, and pointed to his shoulder, "Come up." ”
Yuan Xiaobao was not polite, and immediately let go of Xiao Zhi's hand, ran over upside down, climbed Yan Jiu's body, and sat on Yan Jiu's neck with flexible movements.
Xiao Zhi and Xiang'er, the two girls, are even more petite than the Yuan Circle, but as servants, they naturally don't dare to expect anyone to help them, besides, with the faces of the two of them, even if someone really picks them up like a meditation cultivator, they don't dare. So, they stayed quietly outside the crowd, occasionally tiptoeing slightly to glance at what was happening in their eyes.
Jie Ya watched, and wanted to cast a little spell so that the two of them could watch the excitement smoothly, but Qi Dui grabbed his wrist.
"Do you want everyone around you to notice this?"
was blocked by Qi Dui, Jie Ya glared at him fiercely, wanting to refute, but he couldn't be justified, and finally had to give up.
"You guys really don't pity the jade at all."
Qi Dusk: "......"
All of a sudden, she "grew a lot taller", and Yuan Quanquan could finally see the scene inside, she put her hand on the shoulder of the meditation cultivator, and turned her head slightly to look at Bai Yan, who was surrounded by the crowd in the center.
"This is a thousand taels of silver as your reward for winning the King of Flower Boats." The middle-aged man standing in front of the gate of Sikong Mansion was the housekeeper of Sikong Mansion, and after watching Bai Yan gratefully accept the silver, he paused for a moment and raised his voice again, "In addition, there is one more thing to announce. ”
Bai Yan was holding a box full of 1,000 taels of silver, and when he heard this, he looked up at the housekeeper, his eyes were shining, but after the housekeeper said what was announced, he was stunned and his expression was shocked.
"The city lord has an order, whoever wins the king of the flower boat this year can marry the city lord's daughter, Miss Sikong, and become the new aunt of Sikong Mansion!"
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Everyone who watched the excitement was shocked by the news, including those who had been gossiping about it before. They were just hearsay, and they didn't know the truth of the matter, but they didn't expect it to be true.
The lord of the castle really wants to marry his daughter to this year's king of the flower boats!
For a while, envy, jealousy, congratulations, and cool words, all kinds of voices came from all directions, and they drilled into the ears of the young man in the middle one by one.
Bai Yan stayed for a while before pulling back the spirit that had been shaken out, he took two steps forward with the box in his hand, but his expression was not as happy as everyone imagined, on the contrary, he was still a little embarrassed, and even a little reluctant.
The housekeeper was also a person who could observe words and feelings, and when he saw that Bai Yan's expression was wrong, he immediately asked him, "What, you don't want to?" ”
As soon as these words were asked, the crowd that was still noisy immediately quieted down again, and everyone's eyes were focused on Bai Yan's body.
Bai Yan lowered his eyes, stared at the box in his hand for a while, and finally spit out three words: "I don't want to." ”
These three words were like three bombs, which detonated the scene in an instant, and with a bang, the crowd was silent for a moment, and immediately like a boiling oil pot, it began to burst with oil splashes.
"What? He actually refused? Refusing to marry Miss Sikong? Oh my God, what did he think? ”
"That's right, Bai Yan, this kid is crazy! He didn't quickly pick up this kind of big pie that fell from the sky and ate it, but he actually threw it away, he was sick in the brain, right? ”
"He didn't even want the daughter of the city lord, he dared to refuse, who did he think he was? The city lord can take a fancy to him and let him be his uncle, so he can afford him, but he still has the courage to refuse? Scold. ”
"God, if I had known that there was such a good thing, I would have gone to participate in this year's Flower Boat Race!"
"Just you? It's useless to participate, you can become the king of the flower boat and laugh to death! ”
"Why can't it? I'm better than Bai Yan, a poor boy, right? ”
"Come on, even if you win the king of the flower boat, Miss Sikong may not look down on you. People are white, at least good-looking. ”
"Cut, it's not a little white face yet."
All kinds of discussions were endless, and the Yuan Circle was hugged by the meditation cultivator, looking at Bai Yan in the center of the crowd, listening to the discussions of the people around him, and he was quite surprised by the other party's reaction.
If you have money, you can marry the daughter of the city lord as a wife, this is a good thing to get money and beauty, double happiness is the best of both worlds, how could Bai Yan refuse?
Yuan Quanquan couldn't figure it out, so he continued to watch, wanting to hear Bai Yan's reason.
Not only her, but everyone present wondered why he was reluctant to marry the daughter of the city lord.
"Steward Yu, please take the trouble to return to the city lord, just say that I am a poor boy in Baiyan, my family is poor, and I dare not climb high, Miss Yu Sikong, I am not a good match, and please ask the city lord to withdraw this order."
