Chapter 43 Eighteen Bride Price Marriages
It was late at night, and Gu Suyu and a few people went back to their rooms while making trouble, and went to bed after a simple wash.
The peach blossom lanterns on the lake are also gradually extinguished.
Early in the morning, Gu Suyu was woken up by the noise in the market, she got up and went out of the room after dressing up, and came to the backyard to find that everyone had gotten up early.
"Morning. Gu Suyu walked over to greet everyone.
"You're early, what time is it now, and you just got up. Yun Mengyin said to her.
"I haven't had breakfast yet, I'll let Yudan leave it for you, it's in the back hall. Murong He saw Gu Suyu and said,
"Good. ”
Gu Suyu turned around and walked towards the back hall.
Situ Mo sat on the stone slab and supported his chin with his hands, looking at Gu Suyu's back, what kind of magical dream did he have last night? He was still pondering last night's dream.
"Xiao Mo, when is your father coming? Si Qianhuaixin got up early in the morning and waited until now, not knowing what the Holy Lord had instructed him to do.
"I don't know. Situ Mo still said listlessly.
Helian Wuxi was standing at the end of the pavilion, and Murong He saw that he hadn't moved for a long time and stepped forward and said, "Wuxi, are you still used to it here?"
"Habit," Helian Wuxi said with a glance at Murong He.
"That's good, if you need anything, remember to tell me," Murong He knew that Helian Wuxi was a refined person, and his daily life was specially ordered to prepare Yudan meticulously.
From the room where he lives must be facing the sun, there must be a book room in the room, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in the room, and the cover on the bed are the colors and flavors he is used to.
"You don't have anything to prepare for me, it's easy. Helian Wuxi turned around and said lightly.
"Good. It turned out that he knew that Murong He lowered his head and smiled.
"Miss, the Immortal Lord has asked you to go to the hall, and the Holy Lord has arrived. Yu Dan came to inform.
"Hey, it's finally here. Situ Mo got up lazily and went to the hall.
Everyone followed to the hall.
In the hall, the Holy Lord Situ Jue and Mrs. Situ and others had just arrived, and they were dusty.
Seeing that Situ Jue and his wife came here today, they were all dressed up, and it seemed that it was a big deal.
Murong Immortal Lord Murong Xue came out to greet him and said: "I don't know that the Holy Lord is coming, I have lost my welcome, I am disrespectful and disrespectful" Murong Immortal Lord saluted.
"No need to be polite, no need to be polite," Situ Jue stepped forward and said.
"I don't know why the Holy Lord and his wife came all the way here?" Murong Xue asked Situ to sit with Mrs. Situ and ordered Yudan to watch the tea.
Situ Jue and Mrs. Situ sat down and said with a smile: "I must be a big deal when I come today,"
Murong Xue thought about it, you haven't stepped into Peach Blossom Town for many years, this time you came in person, so you naturally knew that something was wrong.
"I don't know what it's called yet?" asked Murong Xue.
"Dad, you're finally here, didn't you say that you were waiting for us here? As soon as he arrived in the hall, Situ Mo saw that his father and mother were already sitting on the chair.
"Oh, there's something delayed on the road, and it's only here today, so you can sit down first. Mrs. Situ pulled Situ Mo and asked them to sit down first.
Everyone sat on the chairs on either side.
"Come, carry it up. Situ made a decisive move, and the servants carried two of them, two of them, a total of eighteen loads, and each box had a big red cloth strip folded into a big red flower to hang on it, which was very festive.
Everyone has been stunned, this ...... What do you mean?
"This ...... It's ......" Murong Xue was also stunned by the situation in front of her.
"This is our Situ Xianmen's bride price, a total of eighteen loads, each load is priceless, open it. Mrs. Situ said.
The servant stepped forward to open each box, and the gold, silver, jewelry, and jewelry inside suddenly appeared in front of everyone, shining.
"Oh my God, mother, did you move all our family's property?" Situ Mo immediately stepped forward to take a look, this ...... So much valuable stuff.
"Nonsense, it's just a part of our family. Mrs. Situ slapped Situ Mo's hand and signaled him not to take it.
Murong Xue looked at the eighteen dowry, and each box did weigh thousands of taels.
"Holy Lord, you are not afraid of robbery all the way," Yun Mengyin was also stunned by these precious things in front of him.
Situ decided down and walked up to Murong Xue and said: "These eighteen dowries have 100,000 taels of gold, 200,000 taels of silver, blood Ruyi, jade unicorn, night pearl, gold and silver jewelry, famous Luo silk, precious medicinal materials, etc., which shows that our Situ family wants to marry the Murong family." ”
"This ......" Murong Xue didn't know how to answer,
And Situ Mo was strange, who was this marriage for? Could it be that his father and mother knew that Helian Wuxi and Murong He had been in love for a long time?
"Dad, mother, you are really, I am jealous, I used half of our family to make a marriage for Wuxi. Situ Mo sat on the box with a reluctant expression.
When Murong He heard that he was helping Helian Wuxi marry, he immediately blushed and lowered his head.
Helian Wuxi was also surprised.
Mrs. Situ hurriedly came over and pulled up Situ Mo and said, "Oh, where is Wuxi, it's you, stupid son." ”
"What, give it to me?" Situ Mo said with his finger pointing at himself, incredulous.
Suddenly, everyone was even more stunned, and Murong He, who was secretly rejoicing just now, also raised his head in surprise.
"It's okay, I came here today to marry my family's Situ Mo to the Murong family, I wonder if the Murong Immortal Lord can agree?"
Murong Xue didn't know how to answer, she glanced at her daughter Murong He, and Murong He frowned and shook her head gently.
"This ...... I'm afraid it's too early to talk about this. Murong Xue knew who her daughter wanted, and she didn't know how to refuse, after all, this Situ family was the master of a hundred immortal sects, and it was not good to refuse it in a grand manner.
"Not early, not early, Mo'er and Ling's daughter Murong He have been together in Cangling Mountain for more than ten years, I believe that their relationship is naturally deep, today's young people are thin-skinned, it's hard to say, this is not, we will be adults and be the Lord once, and we have fulfilled such good things. Mrs. Situ stepped forward and grabbed Murong Xue's hand and patted it.
Murong He on the side was a little anxious when he saw them talking like this, walked up to Murong Xue and gently pulled her clothes.
"Yes, young people get along with each other and cultivate feelings quickly, so that the girl is so virtuous and gentle, and knowledgeable, I believe that Situ Mo must be devoted to her. Situ Jue praised Murong He.
Murong Xue smiled helplessly, Yun Mengyin couldn't say anything when she saw this situation, and sneaked to the back hall.
Murong He glanced at Helian Wuxi, but he still had a normal face, as if all this had nothing to do with him, and when he saw Yun Mengyin sneaking away, he also wanted to leave, but he couldn't find an excuse.
"What did you say in Balabala, who did you marry with, did you ask me?" Situ Mo saw that the more they talked, the more outrageous it became, and he became anxious.
"You wait until I settle this family affair first, and then I'll talk to you. Situ Jue motioned to Situ Mo not to speak.
"That's right, come to my mother, my father and mother are also for your good. Mrs. Situ went over and took Situ Mo's hand.
Situ Mo broke free of Mrs. Situ's hand and said angrily: "What do you mean to wait and talk about it later, have you asked me if you do this? Everything is up to you, even if you go to Cangling Mountain, you never ask me if I want to."
"You don't have the right to choose, since you were born in our Situ family, you should listen to our arrangement," Situ Jue shouted.
In the future, the position of the Holy Lord will definitely be Situ Mode, and if you want to sit firmly in the position of the Holy Lord, you need a huge force, and Murong Xianmen is the best choice.
Murong He looked at the angry father and son and didn't know what to do, and he was afraid that the quarrel would get more and more intense if they continued to argue like this.
"I don't. Situ Mo raised his eyebrows and said angrily,
"You dare to ......" Situ's face flushed with determination.
"Okay, it seems that your family has not discussed it well, I see that the Holy Lord and his wife have been tired of traveling for the past few days, so it is better to rest first, and you will talk about it after discussion. Murong Xue saw that if she continued to quarrel like this, she was afraid that it would hurt the harmony of their father and son, so she came out and said.
Mrs. Situ saw that Murong Xue had come out to relieve the siege and said, "Yes, if you don't rest first, it's not too late to talk later." Situ never spoke, glanced at Situ Mo, and snorted.
"Yu Dan, come and prepare a room for the Holy Lord and his wife, so that the Holy Lord can have a good rest" Murong Xue hurriedly greeted the maid Yu Dan.
"Yes, Holy Lord, Madam, please come with me. After Yudan saluted first, he took Situ Jue and Mrs. Situ to the backyard.
Gu Suyu, who had just finished breakfast, came out and met the imposing Holy Lord, and hurriedly saluted: "Holy Lord, good madam." ”
Situ Jue crossed over directly as if he had seen it, and his wife nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, good." Then he also walked with the Holy Lord.
Gu Suyu looked back at their backs with a puzzled expression, why was she so angry.
Gu Suyu walked to the front hall and saw that everyone was sitting on the chair with an unhappy face.
At this time, a group of domestic servants carried away the eighteen loads of bride price.
"What is this for?" Gu Suyu looked puzzled.
"Situ Mo, I don't know if you like our Murong He?" Murong Xue walked up to Situ Mo and asked, if the two of them like each other, this family affair will be settled.
Situ Mo didn't know how to answer, he scratched his hair tangledly,
"I don't like it. Si Qianhuaixin, who was sitting on the side, replied for Situ Mo.
"How do you know you don't like it? Although Gu Suyu had just arrived, he didn't know what was going on in front of him, but the Murong Immortal Lord asked Situ Mo, why did he answer so surely.
"I don't believe you're asking him. Si Qianhuaixin's face didn't matter.
Everyone locked their eyes on Situ Mo again, and Situ Mo smiled awkwardly and said. "Immortal Lord Murong, although Xiao He, she is very beautiful, and she is also gentle, with a good personality and carefulness, but ...... I ,,,, I'm sure she'll meet a better one. ”
Murong Xue smiled and didn't answer, she walked up to Murong He again and took Murong He's hand and said, "What about you, Mother hopes that you can listen to your heart, like is like, if you don't like it, if you don't like it, no matter what choice you make, your mother will depend on you." "Murong Xue has such a daughter in her life, so she naturally wants her to live well and live happily and casually.
Murong He's nose was sour when she heard Murong Xue's words, her eyes were full of tears, and she also held her mother's hand tightly and said, "Mother, I'm ...... I don't want to, I don't want to marry the Situ family. Murong Xue said in a choked voice.
Helian Wuxi looked at Murong He's appearance, smiled in his heart and turned to leave.
"It's okay, since neither of you has this intention, I'll go and say from the Holy Lord's side that marriage is a beautiful thing, and it can't be turned into a bargaining chip because of something. Murong Xue wiped away Murong He's tears and said softly.
