Chapter Seventy-Five: It is enough to have her in this life
On the other side, Qi Ziyan, who was being discussed by them, was sitting under a tree drinking wine, but he was not drinking ordinary wine, but realgar wine.
"Haha-I didn't expect that Little Brother Qi would be able to drink the realgar wine we have here." Sitting across from him, a gray-haired old man touched his long white beard and smiled.
After hearing this, Qi Ziyan put down the wine glass, looked at the other party and said: "Generally, you are not used to drinking, but the wine here of the patriarch is very special." "That means it tastes good and you can drink it.
"Haha-even if you still know each other, the wine we have here is made of special materials, not only the production procedures are cumbersome, but even the materials used in the wine making take time to find it, and the natural general realgar wine is incomparable." The old man smiled, obviously pleased by Qi Ziyan's words.
He was in a good mood to explain to Qi Ziyan, "Everyone knows that there are more poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions here in our Wu clan, and people often use ordinary realgar wine to guard against them, and after a long time, the effect of prevention is not very good, but after a period of exploration by the clansmen, there will be the realgar wine you see now, which can effectively resist the poisonous snakes and scorpions outside, and this kind of realgar wine can only be made from us here." β
Qi Ziyan nodded suddenly, "I see, no wonder the taste is different from the outside." β
After speaking, I tasted it carefully.
Seeing that the time was almost up, the patriarch asked with a somewhat embarrassed face, "Little Brother Qi, compared to you, you have also seen my uncompetitive granddaughter before." β
Qi Ziyan hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Yes." β
Just when he thought that the other party was going to persuade him to accept the so-called holy woman, he was unexpectedly surprised.
"Do you think I'm going to persuade you to accept my unruly granddaughter?" The old man saw through Qi Ziyan's mind and asked.
Qi Ziyan suppressed the shock in his heart, his eyes were clear, and his tone was firm, "I already have a fiancΓ©e in Xia, and she will not marry in this life, so I will never go to the Holy Maiden in Xia." β
When the old man heard Qi Ziyan say the word "never marrying", his eyes flashed, but he quickly recovered and said, "Okay, good." The old man said three times in a row.
He continued: "Although I am surprised that you have such an idea, but I think that your idea is correct, and the world thinks that such an idea is ridiculous, but I think only a lifetime and a couple can really like it. β
Qi Ziyan's black eyes flashed slightly, I don't know what I thought, the corners of my mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and said, "Yes, it is enough to have her in this life." β
The old man looked at him and smiled, "It seems that you like your fiancΓ©e very much." β
Qi Ziyan said without thinking: "Yes, I love her more than my life, and I can give up everything for her." β
I don't know if Qi Ziyan's words stimulated the old man, and the sadness flashed in his eyes, and his body was filled with deep sadness.
Seeing this, Qi Ziyan just sat quietly and didn't say anything.
After a long time, the old man finally came out of his thoughts, "I'm sorry, when people are old, they like to think about things." β
After speaking, he wiped his reddish eyes, stood up, and said, "What you want, I will order someone to send it to you tomorrow, and then leave here." β
After saying that, he left.
The old man walked by, and Thirteen walked out of the shadows and said to Qi Ziyan: "Shizi, how can you conclude that the patriarch of the Wu clan will personally present what we want today?" It's amazing, isn't it? β
The tone was full of amazement.
Eleven, who walked out from behind him, had a calm face, as if such an ending was expected.
"Hey, Eleven, why aren't you surprised at all, weren't you still surprised when the prince said it yesterday, how are you now?" Thirteen doubts.
"From the time Shizi mentioned that incident, I knew that the Wu clan patriarch would definitely give the things to him after today, but what I didn't expect was that he would drive us away so quickly." After saying the last eleven, I was very puzzled.
"Haha- I didn't understand the first thing you said, but I knew why the patriarch would let us leave so soon." Thirteen smiled and said: Because his only granddaughter likes Shizi, and he doesn't want his granddaughter to marry Shizi, so he can only let Shizi leave as soon as possible, if I guess correctly, even if there is no today, the patriarch will soon hand over the things to us, but the process will not be as simple as today. β
Qi Ziyan glanced at them approvingly.
Receiving Qi Ziyan's approving eyes, Thirteen was very proud, and said to Eleven: "Since I have solved all your doubts for you, it is time for you to solve your doubts for me." β
Although Thirteen didn't agree with what Eleven said, he still said: "It's actually very simple, if you know the past of the Wu clan patriarch, you can understand." β
Eleven,"? β
Thirteen continued: "According to the information from the investigation, the old patriarch had a woman who loved each other very much before, but for some reason, the old patriarch was forced to separate from her, and after that, when he saw two people who loved each other, he would be more loving, which is why when he heard what the prince said, a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes, I think he should think of his lover who left." β
"Wait, you said lover?"
"Yes, they didn't get married, the Wu patriarch finally married someone arranged by the clan, and the woman was nowhere to be found."
Eleven nodded as if she knew something.
Thirteen continued, "And there is one more important reason why the patriarch will agree. β
Eleven: "Isn't that the most important thing?" β
"It's not." Thirteen shook his head, "Because the current Holy Maiden of the Wu Clan is the son and daughter of the son born to him and that woman, that is to say, the current Holy Maiden is the granddaughter of him and the woman he loves deeply, and he has lost a lover, so he will never agree to the Holy Maiden and the son of the Wu Clan leaving the Wu Clan." β
Hearing this, Eleven's mouth opened wide, his eyes were full of shock, and after relieving himself, he said, "No wonder." β
But isn't it, no wonder he agreed to today's appointment when he knew that the identity of the prince was the regent of the Flame Country, because he knew that it was impossible for the regent of a country to stay in a small witch clan.
There is also the fact that Shizi has a beloved fiancΓ©e, and he doesn't like his granddaughter, adding those words that Shizi said.
Oh, the prince also said that he wanted that thing to save his wife......
A white lie......
It was only when they all came together that the Wu Patriarch compromised and promised to give them what they wanted.
Although the process seems simple, the hardships are only known to the party Qi Ziyan himself, if the patriarch of the Wu clan is not moved by his words, but feels that he has deceived his granddaughter's feelings, then what awaits him is not a good realgar wine, but an unknown Gu worm.
Fortunately, he made the right bet and could go back to see Xiao Chu earlier.
Thinking that he would soon be able to meet his beloved, Qi Ziyan's inky black eyes were full of smiles and a touch of pampering, and he was extraordinarily handsome in the warm sun.
At this time, Mu Xiaochu in the capital came back from the banquet and walked on the way home.
Suddenly, a shrill voice sounded, "You little slut, you dare to run, see if I don't kill you!" β
"I don't dare to run anymore, beg Mother Hua to let me go." The woman squatted, covered her head with her hands, and kept begging to wrap around.
But the woman she called Mother Hua not only did not stop, but became even more violent, "You are a little slut, you still want to run away when you come to my Wanhualou, it seems that I won't let you fall into the skin today, you won't stay in Wanhualou honestly." β
The people watching the play on the road can know from their conversations that the woman who was beaten was forced into the fence again, but everyone sympathized with each other, and no one stepped forward to make themselves bored.
Because of the previous scene, Mu Xiaochu stopped on the side in the carriage, and she said, "Take a detour." β
Obviously, he knew what was going on in front of him from his voice, but he still spoke to the coachman in a cold tone.
But just when the carriage was about to go around, I saw the woman kneeling on the ground before suddenly stood up from the ground, ran to Mu Xiaochu's carriage, and begged for mercy: "Ask Sister Xiaochu to save Xiaocao, Xiaocao is forced, Xiaocao doesn't want to be bought in Baihualou." β
It turned out that the person who was beaten on the ground was Xiaocao, who had worked in the pastry shop before, and after she finished Mu Xiaochu's words, she could recognize her voice, a flash of joy flashed in her eyes, and she rushed over, taking Mu Xiaochu as the last straw.
Because of Xiaocao's actions, for a while, everyone's eyes looked at the carriage where Mu Xiaochu was.
But the curtain of the carriage was not lifted, and after a while, I only heard the woman inside say, "Don't take a detour yet." It was still a cold voice.
Just as the coachman was about to drive away, the people who had watched the play before came forward to stop the carriage she was riding, and said indignantly: "Since you know the other party, why don't you save her, you don't look like you're bad money." β
The people around echoed, "That is, if you have money and are greedy for pleasure, why don't you want to save someone you know from the fire." β
"But no, her heart is too ruthless, the women on the ground are like this, she actually let the coachman drive away!"
As the sounds around her became more and more, the corners of Xiaocao's mouth gradually hooked an angle, and she knew that she was saved.
But he still pretended to be pitiful and said: "Sister Xiaochu, I know that Xiaocao has done a lot of wrong things before, but Xiaocao has truly repented now, beg Sister Xiaochu to bypass Xiaocao, Xiaocao kowtowed to you." After saying that, he knelt on the place and kowtowed.
At this time, the crusade around was louder, and there were even more slanderers of Mu Xiaochu, "It turned out that she bought the woman into the hook bar, I didn't expect a woman to be so vicious, it's really a bad thing." β
"No, how many of them are rich and can take the lives of our people as human lives."
Just as they were about to continue the discussion, the object of discussion, that is, Mu Xiaochu, finally lifted the curtain of the carriage, and then got out of the carriage in the sight of everyone.
"Sister Xiaochu, you are finally willing to come out to save Xiaocao, Xiaocao knows that Sister Xiaochu will not ignore Xiaocao." As soon as Mu Xiaochu got out of the carriage, Xiaocao rushed to her feet with tears on her face, clutching her skirt tightly.
