Chapter 64: It's All Coming
When Desby suddenly heard this loud laughter, he felt so harsh that even his thick eyebrows were about to stand up. But when the big fat man turned his head angrily and saw the person who laughed at him loudly, the big fat man's anger suddenly cleared up.
Because the man who laughed loudly at Desby was not the civilians who were watching, and Natsu who had secretly followed him. This thick-lined guy, no matter who you are, you can laugh and scream whenever you want. Seeing that it was this seventh-level guy with serious violent tendencies laughing, all of Desby's anger disappeared without a trace.
With a snap, Desby pulled his stomach off the door frame. Then the depressed expression on his face suddenly became smiling, and as a successful businessman, Desby is still very good at overcoming embarrassment. He casually greeted Qilia's grandfather, who had just been lying on the bed and napping, and came out to take a look when he heard the movement outside.
Unable to enter the house, Desby had to complete the task at the door, and the two of them also saw that the door was too small, and people could only talk outside, so they just said a few polite words casually, and stopped inviting them into the house.
After a few kind words, Desby got down to business and took out the letter of appointment that had been prepared in advance. This letter of appointment is not the kind of thing that the company recruits, but one of the marriage procedures in this era, and the formal marriage procedures in this era are very troublesome, if you want to go through it step by step, it will take at least half a month.
However, in actual life, most of them have been simplified, and only those high-ranking officials and nobles will implement it step by step. For ordinary people, the usual practice is to integrate the six rites into one, and the conversation is over at one time. Of course, the steps of etiquette can be simplified, the bride price and bride price cannot be canceled, and the bride price is attached to the top of the letter of appointment.
Hearing the other party's intention, Qiliya's grandfather was a little surprised, he really didn't think that a character like someone like others would look at their background. So this old man looked blank and took the letter of appointment in a daze. Then the old man opened his mouth and stared at the letter of appointment and was stunned.
This letter of appointment comes with a gift list of the bride price, and this gift list was also prepared by Desby and Miles in consultation with reference to the specifications set by Bai Ya's identity and Kiriya's background, which is more appropriate. However, in the eyes of these wealthy people, this very low-key gift list is still too expensive for a civilian family like Qiliya.
In this gift list, there are all kinds of supplies and jewelry, exquisite silk and satin, etc., all of which are worth about 20,000 gold coins, and what really makes the old man daze is the gift money of 8,000 gold coins.
The old man couldn't read or read anything else, and he couldn't tell how much it was worth, but he still recognized the words and numbers of the gold coins. Eight thousand gold coins, which is really astronomical for a civilian family with an income of only a few silver coins per month and a few gold coins in their lifetime.
Holding this gift list, the old man only felt that it was hot, gold coins, he had never owned his own gold coins in his life. The sudden huge wealth often makes some people afraid, and this old man is afraid at this time, he doesn't dare to accept such a huge amount of wealth at all, so he trembles and hands the gift slip back.
Desby saw the old man handing back the gift list, but he didn't speak, and the hand holding the gift list shook up. He didn't know what the other party meant, and thought that this old man wanted to see what was on the gift list, so the big fat man waved his hand behind him.
This time they came, and in addition to the luxurious carriages in which they were seated, there were also several carriages that hauled goods, and those high-end and exquisite articles and silks were on these carriages. With a wave of the big fat man's hand, the servants lined up, reported and carried them, and walked into the alley.
Among them, the people who walked in front were holding small boxes, which contained some small objects, including a lot of gold and silver jewelry. Naturally, these servants were not as fat as Desby, and they were still quite comfortable walking in this little alley. When the first servant walked to the door of Celia's house, he automatically opened the lid of the small box, revealing the exquisite jewelry inside, and the servants behind him did the same.
Seeing the small boxes being opened one by one, revealing the jewels inside, Qi Liya's big eyes couldn't help but widen. Where has she seen this kind of formation as a civilian girl, not to mention that there are so many boxes and boxes, she has never seen any of them, so she was dazzled all of a sudden, looking at these jewels blankly.
Desby was quite satisfied with the sluggish expressions of the grandfather and grandson, and at the same time he was thinking in his heart, after all, it was two small people who had never seen the world, and these ordinary gold and silver ornaments shocked them. But Desby was proud for a moment, and was frightened by a small accident.
Qiliya's grandfather was originally a little scared, he couldn't accept such a big fortune for a while, and now he saw so many glittering objects at once, these real objects, but the impact of these objects was much greater than the number on the gift list, so the old man fainted gorgeously without a sound.
Seeing that the old man was straight and fell backwards, Claude rushed forward with a whoosh, catching the old man's head before it touched the ground. Then, there was chaos here, and Desby shouted to the servants to find the doctor, okay, if this old man has a three-long and two-short thing today, then the family will still talk about a fart, how will he face Qilia and Bai Ya in the future.
Just when these people were just messing up into a pot of porridge, a light breeze blew, and a petite figure appeared in Qiliya's house. Then a white light flashed, and the unconscious old man woke up again after coughing a few times.
Desby reached out and touched the sweat on his forehead, thinking that this was really dizzy and waking up quickly, and the false alarm was a white sweat in his head. The others also breathed a sigh of relief, and almost turned a good thing into a bad thing. Especially Qiliya, those big eyes seemed to have been blistered, and her face was full of water, and the little girl's tears came quickly.
Qilia touched her tears with her little hands as she thanked the man who saved her grandfather. This petite figure is none other than little Wendy, and this time it was she who saved the old man.
Little Wendy also came to see the excitement, not only her, except for Bai Ya, only Zheng Feng and the maids did not come. The other heroes have come back and forth, and they have turned here from different routes to see the excitement. It's just that everyone came secretly, so they all hid in different places.
This is the first marriage among the heroes, and everyone's curiosity is not small, and they all come secretly. Bai Zai, as the party concerned, didn't come because he didn't want to be teased by everyone, while Zheng Feng and the maids were because they had the sharp weapon of the main control sub-board, and they could watch the live broadcast at home, so they didn't have to come over.
After a loud laugh, Natsu shouted loudly, "So everyone is here, there's a piece of" and swaggered out. Behind him, Guggier also walked out with a wicked smile on his face.
But the next people who responded to them came out were only Wukong and Xiaobu, two simple-minded guys, and the others still didn't show up. Only Gray showed up on the roof of a wooden house, said an idiot to Natsu, and then turned and ran away.
Hearing the words of his old rival, Natsu immediately became furious, he first pulled out of his stance and pointed to where Gray had just stood and shouted, "Who do you say is an idiot, you stop me", and then rushed out with a snort, and ran after Gray. Seeing his companion leave, Gergil also waved his hand to everyone in the alley, said goodbye and turned to run.
Seeing that these two guys were gone, Wukong scratched his head, turned his head to Xiaobu and asked stupidly, "Didn't they say they wouldn't hide, why are they all gone again." Why don't the others come out. Xiaobu looked blankly at the direction where the guys left, and was stunned for a moment before saying, "There's nothing to eat here, let's go too." ”
"That's right, there's no food here, I really don't know what these people are doing here. Wukong nodded very approvingly, and then the two foodies popped a few times and jumped between the wooden houses. These two guys came here for the purpose of watching the excitement, which was a little different, they thought there was some dinner here.
Seeing that these people either didn't say goodbye, or just came out and shook and ran away, little Wendy also stumbled and said, "That, that, I, I'll go first." After saying that, a breeze blew, and Wendy's petite figure disappeared.
Finally, Claude and Desby saw seven small figures, flashing their little white wings, flying up from the roof of a tiled house, and disappearing from sight in an instant. This scene made Desby have to sigh, it turns out that small pets are also curious. Look, even the seven weird cats came to see the fun.
Well, now that the guys who came to peep are gone, Desby is going to continue his mission. Picking up the sluggish old man, Desby put the gilded letter of appointment in his hand again. And ask him what else he wants, and you don't have to say it politely.
The old man opened his mouth, thinking that he was asking for something else, that is, with so much money and things now, how dare I, an ordinary citizen, ask for it. But the old man looked at Desby's big fat face with a smile, and he couldn't say anything he didn't want to say, and he was habitually afraid of these rich and noble old men. No matter how kind and polite the other party is, the awe in his heart will not be eliminated for a while.
