19. Marriage

Ye Ning counted out fifty silver coins from the money bag and took the scales from the vendor's hand. When his hand touched the scales, he suddenly felt the scales vibrate. It's so noisy in this downtown that I can't tell whether it's my delusion or the real thing for a while.

"You idiot, you almost got caught. The vendors here are all very dark. What kind of heirloom do you really think this is? This is just the scales on the body of the black moon snake in the mountain, and a piece is usually sold for a dozen silver coins. I'm really convinced. Chu Xin fell into the road. Ye Ning looked back and saw that the vendor took out a black scale from the bag again and placed it on the table. The scales looked indistinguishable from the ones in his hands.

The only difference is that this piece in his hand made Ye Ning feel a sense of closeness, and Ye Ning could even feel a trace of business from it. And the piece that the vendor took out again was lifeless.

"Don't talk about that. You were silent all the way, I thought you were dumb. Say, who are you bringing me here to meet?" Ye Ning put the scales into the space bag and asked. Chu Xin on the side sighed and said quietly: "Do you know why I didn't go home this year to stay and go to be the college's admissions assistant?" I haven't been home in two years. Because I didn't want to go back, a few years ago the family made a political marriage. In order to escape, I came to the Wind Forest Academy alone. In the past few years, my family has been sending people around to inquire about my whereabouts. In the end, they found me. It is estimated that within a few days, people from the family faction will come here. ”

Political marriage, no wonder this woman looks preoccupied on the road. Ye Ning asked, "Then who is the person you saw this time?"

"My brother, he came before the rest of the family. Chu Xin said that, and fell into silence again. Ye Ning didn't know whether to comfort or persuade him. This kind of political marriage does not exist in the Imperial Clan, because the Imperial Clan is the strongest race in the Celestial Dragon Empire, and it does not need to be attached to any race, nor does it need to be attached to any race.

The two walked for a while, and came to a splendid restaurant. Chu Xin took Ye Ning to the door of a private room, she knocked lightly on the door, and said, "I'm here." ”

The door opened, and there were five people inside. One is a son-in-law in a brocade dress, and the other is a middle-aged man in plain clothes. The remaining three were men, and these three men stood with their hands in their hands. stood behind the two of them.

Strong, strong terrible. The strength of those three subordinates is at least at the level of a king. And the strength of the plainly dressed middle-aged man has also reached the level of the king level. As for the boy in brocade clothes. It's probably at the level of the advanced level of the general. Ye Ning's keen perception made it easy for him to see through the strength of these people.

The son in brocade clothes looked at the two of them for a while, and finally set his eyes on Chu Xin's body. And the middle-aged man looked at Ye Ning with interest.

"Brother, who is this son?" Chu Xin said towards the middle-aged man. Ye Ning glanced at Chu Xin twice, the age gap between the two brothers and sisters is also a bit big.

"Young Master Fang, this is Sister Ling. She admires you very much. Sister, it is the young and promising Fang Gongzi that I often mention to you. He knew I was coming to see you today, so he came along. The middle-aged man said.

Chu Xin's body trembled for a moment, and soon returned to calm. She thought about Fang Gongzi and saluted, and said, "I've seen Fang Gongzi." ”

"No, no, no. This time, I heard from my father that I found your whereabouts, so I followed Brother Chu over to see you. By the way, ask about the progress of the marriage. It's been two years, and my concubines have married several of them. The location of this main room is still empty, and it looks very uncomfortable. That Fang Gongzi said. There was a hint of malice in the words.

"Sister, you've been out for two years. Why don't you go back with me? The family already has a lot of opinions. Even if your father wants to help you, there is nothing he can do. The middle-aged man said. Seeing that Chu Xin shook his head, Jade Tooth bit his lip lightly and said, "I don't want to go back." ”

"It's not something you want to think about. You know, no one can change what the elders of the family decide. If you come with me, and then say that you are tired of playing outside and come home with me, that's fine. If someone from the family forcibly takes you back, I'm afraid you will be punished. The middle-aged man explained. That Fang Gongzi looked like he was watching a good show, and there was no pity on his face. The political marriage brokered by the two families, Chu Xin and that Fang Gongzi naturally did not have a trace of affection. Even, that Fang Gongzi would have a hint of pleasure in his heart when he saw Chu Xin being wronged. After all, seeing that the other person is worse than themselves can always arouse a trace of relief.

"No return!" Chu Xin still spit out two words. She was like a boat in a storm, her body swaying. Chu Xin knew, even if that Fang Gongzi didn't like her. But Fang Gongzi can set up a concubine. When the time comes, put Chu Xin aside, and be very comfortable with a group of concubines. And Chu Xin, marrying Fang Gongzi is a lifelong thing. If she fell in love with another man, it would be a heinous crime.

Fang Gongzi shook his head and said, "Miss Chu, I don't have such a strong desire for you to marry me. However, since this family business has been decided. The longer it drags on, the more you and I will be sinners in the family. The more our two families will become their laughing stock. It's better to get married quickly and save trouble. As for how the two of us will get along after we get married, that's another matter. ”

Ye Ning has been on the side for so long, and he can be regarded as completely understanding what this is all about. In the final analysis, it was the middle-aged man who sold Chu Xin and brought Chu Xin's future husband Fang Gongzi over. It's just that Fang Gongzi is more disdainful of Chu Xin than admiration. He looked at Chu Xin's shoulders trembling slightly, looking like he was about to cry. Ye Ninghe had seen Chu Xin's appearance before. He grabbed Chu Xin, pulled Chu Xin behind him, and said, "You two, don't go too far." If you want to take her today, you should ask me first. ”

A few hands stepped out next, and they were about to hit Ye Ning. The middle-aged man stretched out his hand and motioned for several people to stop. He asked Ye Ning, "Who are you?" ”

"A man who can't see it. The middle-aged man's gaze was like an eagle, staring at Ye Ning's heart numb. Fang Gongzi on the side laughed when he heard it, as if he had heard some unexpected joke, and said, "What right can a mid-level waste of the sergeant level not be able to see." No, let me laugh for a while. ”

"You, the so-called leader, are no more than Erer, no one is arrogant in your eyes, and your mouth full of stinky farts is simply stinky. Ye Ning said. That Fang Gongzi's expression turned cold when he heard this, and with a wave of his hand, a stream of air rushed directly towards Ye Ning. Chu Xin stood in front of Ye Ning's body and struck out with a palm to dissolve this air flow.
