Chapter 93: Marriage in three years
When I listened, my heart ached.
At this time, Mama Ye coughed violently, and I hurriedly patted her on the back, wanting to pour her some water to drink, but the kettle in the house was empty.
"I'm going to boil some hot water." Long Xuanling said and took the kettle over.
"I'll go with you, you won't burn the fire." I said and was about to get up.
Long Xuanling pressed my shoulder: "Don't worry, just boil water." ”
With that, Long Xuanling left the house.
After Mama saw Long Xuanling go out, she immediately looked at me, and I noticed that her eyes began to become a little strange.
I saw that she opened her mouth and said nothing, as if she wanted to say something, so I said, "Mama, if you have anything to say, just say it." ”
"Miss, are you okay?" She looked at me for a long time and then asked suddenly.
I was stunned, thinking that I should be thin, so I made Mama Ye worried.
"Mama, my body is very good, but you, why is your complexion so bad?" I remember that she used to be very bony and often went down with us.
"Mama is old, and her complexion is naturally worse." Mama Ye said, her eyes began to wander a little again, and she looked towards the courtyard outside, as if she was looking at Long Xuanling coming.
"Mama, if you have anything to say, just say it directly." I squeezed Mama Ye's hand and said.
Mama Ye nodded, and finally opened her mouth: "Miss, all these years, Mama has been worried about you, and everyone in Zhuangzi said?" Say? ”
She swallowed, I think, those people in the Zhuangzi must not be saying good things.
"Say what?" I had a calm face.
"Say that the eldest lady, you are the woman of the dragon king, even if you are returned, you are also the wife of the dragon king, and one day the dragon king will take you away, and, you, you, you can't remarry, otherwise the dragon king will be angry." Mama Ye said and grabbed my hand tightly, with a worried look on her face.
"Dragon King? He won't be angry, it's too late for him to be happy. Long Xuanling said and walked in from outside the door, holding a steaming kettle in his hand.
Mama Ye's face immediately showed a far-fetched smile, and she didn't know how to answer for a while.
"Mama, what my husband means is that the Dragon King's marriage is all rumors, but in fact, there is no Dragon King at all." I comforted Mama Ye, hoping that if I said this, Mama Ye would not worry about me.
As a result, as soon as Mama Ye heard me say this, she immediately raised her rough hand and covered my mouth, and her eyes were even more nervous.
"Miss, you can't say that, it will anger the Dragon King." Mama Ye frowned and reminded me.
My gaze was on Long Xuanling.
Long Xuanling calmed his eyes, looked at Mama Ye, and stopped interjecting.
"Miss, this dragon king marries every three years, you also know, and now, Zhuangzi is ready to marry a daughter, you can't talk nonsense at this juncture." Mama Ye reminded me with a serious face.
"What? The dragon king is marrying again? I looked at Mama Ye in surprise.
Before, I asked Long Xuanling about the marriage of the Dragon King of Xiazizhuang, but Long Xuanling said that he didn't know about it at all.
In this way, what happened to those girls back then, and where did Ping'er and them go? It's all a mystery.
"Mama, why do you say that it is the Dragon King's marriage?" Long Xuanling stood aside, his face revealing a touch of coldness.
This is clearly someone under the banner of Long Xuanling, mutilating those innocent girls.
What kind of dragon king marries, it's all fake, Ping'er and they may not know who they "married" to.
"This Xiazizhuang has been like this for generations, and the patriarch also said that it was the Dragon King who appeared and asked to marry Yin and give birth to a daughter, and, moreover, the Dragon King's dowry, eldest lady, you have also seen it." Mama Ye looked at me and was a little stumped when she spoke, especially when it came to the Dragon King's dowry.
At the beginning, it was because the big bolt got the dragon king's dowry, so I was asked to marry the dragon king.
"Hmph, the Dragon King's dowry? What are they? Long Xuanling said, pouring a cup of hot water for Mama Ye.
Mama Ye took a sip and shook her head slightly: "It's all valuable, but at that time, the big bolt was directly lifted, and it was lost in the end, I don't know what it is." ”
When Mama Ye said this, she probably felt sorry for me, so she didn't look up at me again.
"Then we'll wait for the big bolt to come back and ask carefully." Long Xuanling said goodbye and let Mama Ye drink water.
Mama Ye nodded, blew on the hot water, and took a sip.
We were in Mama Ye's house, talking to Mama Ye while waiting for the big bolt to come back.
I thought that it would be very late, after all, the big bolt went out with a bag of silver money, and the gambling in the village was all small money, which should be enough for him to play for a long time.
Unexpectedly, around noon, he came back, and he lost cleanly, and there was no one left.
As soon as he came back, he shouted: "Mother! I'm hungry, where's the rice? ”
"Oops, I forgot to cook for the big bolt, and you didn't eat either, did you? I'm going to make something to eat. Mama Ye stood up anxiously.
"I'll go, I know where things are." I see that Mama Ye is withered, where can I bear to let her cook.
While speaking, the big bolt had already entered the house, and when he saw me and Long Xuanling, he didn't pay attention to it, but looked directly at Mama Ye.
"Where's the rice? What have you done? The bolt asked angrily.
Long Xuanling's eyes sank, looked at the big bolt, and asked, "What were the things in the Dragon King's dowry back then?" ”
"What are you asking for?" Da Bolt looked at Long Xuanling vigilantly, then looked at me again, and then showed a look of sudden realization.
"Oh, I see, you're here to divide those things, aren't you? Roll on! It's already gone! Besides, we have two oil bottles at home, shouldn't we pay for food? "Da Bolt thought that Long Xuanling and I were here to share the dowry, so he was in a hurry.
"We're not here to ask for the money." Long Xuanling said and met the gaze of the big bolt.
In an instant, his eyes became hollow, and I knew that Long Xuanling had used a soul dementorship.
"Tell me, what's that box of dowry?" Long Xuanling asked indifferently.
"Cloth, silk, a pair of gold bracelets, candles, sugar, jade earrings, and a dragon pendant made of jade." The bolt replied truthfully.
"Dragon-shaped pendant?" I couldn't help but frown.
Long Xuanling snorted coldly: "And the dragon-shaped pendant? ”
"The Dragon King's dowry is quite rich, and many families in the village want to marry their daughters to the Dragon King." Mama Ye said, staring at me: "It's a pity that these things have been ruined by the big bolt, and I didn't leave a piece and a half for the eldest lady." ”
"Mama, I don't want those things, we just feel curious, just ask." I saw Mama Ye blame herself and opened her mouth to appease.
The expression on Mama Ye's face did not ease, she lowered her eyes guiltily and stopped talking.
