Chapter 165: Forced to choose a husband
Seeing that someone was walking towards her with a white hibiscus not far away, Xia Qian finally noticed that something was wrong, and saw a middle-aged man selling flowers on a stall looking at her with a curious face, and she fled as if she had taken refuge.
"Uncle, these flowers are for you!" With a sigh of relief, she handed the flowers to the middle-aged man.
This flower is ten taels and one flowers, and this gift is counted as more than two hundred taels of silver for that person.
The other party was stunned for a moment, and then smiled happily: "Girl, you can only take one of this white lotus, since you don't like it, it's good to give it to me!" But you are so outstanding, you still have a red lotus in your hand, and the white lotus hides it in your sleeve, and when you see the man you like, you throw away the red lotus and give the white lotus to him! ”
After a conversation between the two, she finally understood the purpose of this hibiscus flower.
The white lotus can be without, and the red lotus does have to have one!
It's a pity that this flower seller is really the material for business, and after accepting the white lotus, the red lotus must let her pay for it.
The money bag is already empty, and a small trader like him can't change the silver ticket, and besides, the silver ticket of one hundred and two thousand taels is easy to attract thieves, and she doesn't dare to take it out easily, and it is difficult to hold the red lotus in her hand.
"This red lotus is already expensive, if you don't have enough money, you can exchange it for something. I see that hairpin with white begonia flowers on your head is good, if you don't mind, you can use it to trade! The man laughed.
This white begonia hairpin was given by Huo Zun, probably because she was used to wearing it and didn't think about throwing it away, she knew that this hairpin could be exchanged for dozens of red lotuses, but when she thought of that person, she couldn't help but sigh, and she still exchanged the begonia hairpin with the trader.
The man took the hairpin and laughed, picked up the basket of flowers, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Xia Qian looked at his fleeing back, and wanted to laugh but seemed to be choked by something, and the sadness in his eyes quickly suppressed the smile on the corner of his lips.
"Turns out, you're a liar!"
A sharp voice came from behind her, Xia Qian looked back, and a man in purple was walking towards her angrily, followed by more than twenty people, all of whom had sold her flowers before.
"I didn't lie to you, I just didn't know the meaning of this lotus flower, and I mistook you for a flower seller!" Xia Qian explained.
"Flower sellers?" The purple-clothed man looked angry: "Does this son look like that?" I see that you are purely riding a donkey to find a horse, so a few of us are happy! ”
Xia Qian explained for a long time, and these sons and brothers could listen to it, after all, it was a very shameful thing to be regarded as selling flowers because of ten taels of silver, and they were also slipped away like a dog by a girl for an afternoon.
"I really didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I apologize to all of you!" Xia Qian was said by these people, and her head was about to crack.
"What's the use of apologizing? Since we have collected all our flowers, we have to choose one! The purple-clad man curled the corners of his lips and looked at her playfully.
This person's name is Hua Liunian, the son of Hua Qianli, the prefect of Wanzhou, and a famous local playboy.
Wanzhou is his territory, not to mention that he is unreasonable, even if he is unreasonable, he has to be seven points stronger.
When the people who followed him heard this, their eyes lit up, and they all looked at Xia Qian tightly.
"That's it, the flowers are all collected, you have to choose one!" Someone chimed in.
Damn, being brushed by someone again, Xia Qian frowned lightly, and glanced at them with disgust like a fly.
"Choose for yourself, or let me choose for you?" Hua Liunian smiled evilly and approached her step by step.
Xia Qian frowned, hurriedly took a few steps back, stood firm, smiled at him and said, "Since it is a husband choice, naturally you have to be cautious, whoever grabs this thing will go with me!" ”
With that, she took off one of her earrings, raised them in front of everyone, and threw them into the hibiscus pool.
These earrings are golden, not as big as a fingernail, but the weight is full, and when Xia Qian threw it out, he also gave enough strength, and the thing fell into the pool and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Originally, I wanted these people to retreat, but I didn't expect those people to be stunned, and some of them really jumped.
"Idiot, that pool is half a zhang deep, and the silt in it is only two feet, and you can still catch it there!" Hua Liunian glanced at the person who went into the water disdainfully, turned his head and looked at Xia Qian with a smile: "You'd better get to know each other, or choose me obediently!" ”
Seeing that the other party rushed towards him, Xia Qian scattered the **, and the other party's body fell to the ground immediately as soon as it became soft, and the other few who did not go into the water also fainted when they reacted.
Xia Qian didn't dare to delay, turned around and fled quickly.
"Don't look for her, she's gone!"
In the pool, I don't know who shouted, and the person who went into the water to find the earrings quickly swam up.
Xia Qian lost the hibiscus flower in her hand and ran out desperately, but the crooked hit just hit Wanzhou prefect Hua Qianli.
"Dare to disrupt the people, dare to offend the prefect!" The guards beside Hua Qianli shouted loudly.
Hua Qianli glanced at Xia Qian, her eyes lit up, and she touched her beard to look her up and down, left and right, and gave her a look to the guards beside her.
The guard had followed him for many years, so he naturally knew his thoughts clearly, so he took two steps forward and began to inquire about Xia Qian's identity.
"Nankangguo, the brewer? Yes, it's a place for beautiful women! The most famous thing in Brewing Mountain is Leyi Mansion, I heard that the girl who came out there, the fairy has to have a three-day dream when he sees it! Hua Qianli's eyes fell on her and said with a smile.
Xia Qian clenched his fist lightly between his sleeves, bowed his head and replied, "I'm just a tea farmer, I don't know what Leyi Mansion is!" ”
"Come on, everyone, she's here!"
A male voice came, Xia Qian looked back, and those people had chased after him just now, several of them were covered in sludge, and there were also Hua Liunian who was covered in medicinal powder.
"Lord Prefect, you have to be the master of the little one!" Seeing Hua Qianli in an official uniform, a man knelt on the ground with a "poof".
Hua Qianli walked past the man who was kneeling on the ground, his eyes fell on his embarrassed son, and his face suddenly became gloomy.
"My lord, she, she's a liar, lie to us......" The man kneeling on the ground paused, and seemed to think for a long time before picking up the next words, "Lie to our feelings!" She received more than 20 white hibiscus, but she didn't choose anyone, and finally gave them all to the flower seller on the side of the road. He also gave us ten taels of silver each, and made fun of us as flower sellers! ”
Hua Qianli was stunned, squinted her eyes and looked at Xia Qian again, and asked in an unclear tone: "You, you received so many flowers, and you didn't choose any of them?" ”
"The first time I came here, I didn't know the rules here, I thought they were selling flowers, so I bought it!" Xia Qian explained again.
Hua Liunian mixed in the crowd and looked at his father with an aggrieved face: "No, she just deliberately played with our feelings, then let's play monkeys!" To put it bluntly, it is to ride a donkey to find a horse and look down on us! ”
The three words "look down", Hua Liunian deliberately slowed down, and the words were bitten so heavily that his father's eyes instantly turned red when he heard it.
Seeing the killing intent in Hua Qianli's eyes, Xia Qian hurriedly explained: "I don't, I'm a foreigner, I really don't know this custom!" ”
"It's too late to know now, choose one of us!" Hua Liunian said confidently.
This is the territory of the Hua family, no matter how Xia Qian chooses, he seems to have full confidence in controlling everyone.
Xia Qian looked at him, and then looked at Hua Qianli, who had an official face, and had to say a fact that made their blood flow backwards.
"I ...... I'm married! ”
