Chapter 500: Collecting Birds (21)

"Providence, it is indeed providence!" Granny Qiao grabbed my hand and looked at it repeatedly, looking a little excited, and said excitedly: "The old body can finally put his mind at ease, and he doesn't have to worry about the marriage." ”

As soon as I heard this, I was even more puzzled, so I asked her, "Granny Qiao, what does my left hand have to do with Miss Qiao's marriage?" ”

She smiled mysteriously, ignored me, and stared at Joyce for a while, and said, "Sisi, providence is so, do you understand?" ”

"Hmm!" Joyce was as shy as a little woman, and her voice was particularly low.

This made me more and more confused in my heart, what kind of dumb riddle did this pair of grandparents play, I asked them, they did not answer my question, but played dumb riddles with each other, opened their mouths of providence, closed their mouths of providence, and almost did not make me crazy.

The two of them talked for a long time, I was a little anxious, Su Mengke got married today, and if I delay it any longer, I'm afraid this trip will be in vain.

So, I didn't care about being polite, interrupted them, and said to Granny Qiao, "Can you take me to the Ten Thousand Towers?" ”

She was stunned, smiled at me, and said, "Come with the old man." ”

Afterwards, a group of four of us walked towards the Ten Thousand Towers. On the way, I asked Granny Qiao why the horses and worms surrounded us, and she said that those worms recognized life, and once a stranger approached, they would climb out and prevent the living from entering the Ten Thousand Towers.

I asked Granny Qiao about Su Mengke's marriage again, and she told me that Su Mengke's marriage object this time was also a person from Wanta, and the family had a lot of research on Gu, and the Su family could be regarded as a good match.

Hearing these four words, I was stunned for a moment, I remember Joyce said that the Su family is the richest person in Phoenix, how could a family with the right door come out? That's a little wrong, right?

I told Granny Qiao about the doubts in my heart.

She smiled, and while walking forward, she explained a lot to me, roughly speaking, there are twelve branches of the Miao people in Xiangxi, that is, the twelve Miao surnames, which are the two branches of the Miao people, which are the two branches of the Miao people, which are the five clans and seven clans by outsiders.

In history, some Miao people made meritorious contributions to the feudal dynasty at that time, and those emperors felt that these surnames were too complicated to remember, so they gave them Han surnames, which were Wu, Liao, Shi, Qiao, Ma, He, Bao, Wang, Liu, Li, Xiang, Su, these twelve surnames.

In the long river of history, even the Miao people, who are known as the most mysterious, still can't withstand the erosion of long history, and there are only eight more influential families left, Wu, Liao, Shi, Qiao, Bao, Li, Xiang, and Su.

Of these eight families, the first seven families have raised Gu for generations, and they are famous in Xiangxi for their Gu, while the eighth family, the Su family, is based on the end of the eight families with their wealth.

Anyone who has been to the Miao people knows that the value of a person is not measured by the economy, but by Gu. Therefore, the Su family is known as the richest lord in Phoenix, and it has a lot of face in the eyes of outsiders. However, in the eyes of the Miao Gu Master, he still has no status, and to put it bluntly, he is a businessman who is full of copper stench.

As for the person who married Su Mengke, he is the son of the Shi family of the Eight Great Families, called Shi Rong, his ancestors have been Gu masters for generations, at first glance, this Shi Rong is the son of the Shi family, he must be powerful, after all, he is the eldest son, but in fact, it is not.

The reason is that this Miao Gu master is generally a woman, and the man has no status at all, in the words of our Han people, it is the female protagonist and the male protagonist, the status of the eldest son can be imagined.

And the reason why Su Mengke's father married his daughter to Shi Rong, according to Granny Qiao, he wanted to exchange Su Mengke for the eldest daughter of the Shi family, and also made a lot of promises, the purpose was to keep the status of the Su family, to put it bluntly, it was to exchange his daughter for a Gu master daughter-in-law to come back.

Hearing this, I was stunned for a long time, what age is it, and I still exchange my daughter for my daughter-in-law, isn't this nonsense, a typical daughter pushing the fire pit.

At that moment, I asked Granny Qiao, "The Su family is so rich, and he has to go to such a great deal of trouble to marry his daughter-in-law?" Publish a marriage notice in the newspaper, and the door of the Su family will be broken! ”

"That's right, in this materialistic society, no matter how powerful the Gu Master is, he doesn't have no money, right?" Lang Gao muttered on the side.

Granny Qiao smiled and said, "You are outsiders, you don't understand the customs of our Miao people, our ancient family here is the top priority of Gu, unlike people outside who regard money as more important than life." ”

As she spoke, she stopped, turned her head, glanced at me, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of women here who know Gu, but there are very few who can do Gu, just take our family Sisi as an example, it must be easy to marry a rich man with her appearance, if you add her name as a phoenix princess, in ancient times, it would be to marry the royal family." ”

As soon as I heard this, I understood that this Granny Qiao was praising Joyce in a different way, and it was not easy to interrupt her, so I listened carefully to what she said.

That Granny Qiao seemed to open the chatterbox, and said a lot of good things about Joyce, and my ears were almost calloused when I heard it, and I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, this Granny Qiao saw me for the first time, and she didn't have the strength to say how good Joyce was, the second time she saw me in Quyang, she didn't mention Joyce, and the third time she saw me, that is, just now, just politely said Joyce.

However, after showing her left hand, her attitude towards me took a 180-degree turn, and between her words it seemed to be selling me Joyce.

Thinking of this, I glanced at Joyce, and saw that she was looking at me, which made me more and more sure of what I thought in my heart, where did I dare to continue to listen to Granny Qiao praise Joyce, and immediately stopped: "Granny Qiao, you haven't told me what Su Mengke thinks about this marriage!" ”

"Oops!" She was stunned, smiled, and said, "The old man forgot about his business when he got old." That Xiao Su is also strange and pitiful, after coming back from Quyang, her voice was ruined, her beautiful face was gone, and the girl didn't care much about it, and kept telling the Gu Master of Wanta that her beloved man would come to marry her. Until her father assigned her a marriage, the girl's temperament changed greatly, and she washed her face with tears all day long, depressed, and no longer had the liveliness of the past. ”

Speaking of this, she sighed and continued: "Ai! That girl has a good talent, if it weren't for the feud between the two families of Qiao Su, the old body would like to take her as an apprentice, but it's a pity that she is a talent. ”

Hearing this, I felt very guilty in my heart, and the reason why Su Mengke was disfigured was all because of me.

I clenched my fists and asked Granny Qiao, "How is Shi Rong a person?" ”

"Him! is very mediocre, but he was also born in the Shi family, if he is placed in an ordinary family, it is estimated that he will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law in this life. Granny Qiao shook her head and continued to walk forward.

As soon as I heard this, I was also very angry, Su Mengke said on QQ, her face has almost recovered, and her appearance must be about the same, and listening to Granny Qiao's tone, Shi Rong is estimated to be useless, these two people are married, how can Su Mengke be happy.
