Chapter 338: Xue Buping's Past Life (Part II)
Regarding today's door-to-door courtship, Xue Buping actually didn't expect to be able to get a good look on the county magistrate's side. After all, he knew that neither his status nor his family's wealth could be compared to the county order's family. And he himself is not very good with the county order, and even he still feels that the county order is not bright and fair enough.
Yet, today he came. Because he loves Meng Xiaoyu deeply, he can bow his head to the county magistrate for Xiaoyu. He had already figured out that as long as he could get the prefectural magistrate to agree to his request without violating his principles, he could even lower his dignity.
However, Xue Buping still never expected that he had just come to the county commander's mansion today, and he didn't even drink a sip of water, and he didn't even sit down, so he was completely unsympathetic reprimanded by the county magistrate. He was still a little confused even now, thinking to himself if his relationship with the county magistrate had reached such a bad point?
His face changed several times, and Xue Buping's heart was naturally extremely uncomfortable. Thinking that he is a dignified man, how did he become a thief with the idea of beating other people's daughters?
However, he finally calmed down and bowed to the county order again: "Lord county order, don't misunderstand. I didn't have the idea of playing Xiaoyu, but I was in love with Xiaoyu, so I sincerely came to ask for it today. I also ask the county magistrate to agree to the villain for the sake of our mutual affection. ”
Xue Buping's voice had just fallen, but the county order's face was already difficult to see to the extreme. I saw him staring at Xue Buping for a long time, and then said gloomily: "The two are happy?" Hmph, Xue Zhu, you really will put gold on your face." Tell me yourself, what do you have, why are you worthy of my daughter, and what can attract her?"
The county order was so aggressive that Xue Buping, who was still half-kneeling on the ground, looked at him and opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak for a long time.
Xue Buping was originally a rough person and was not good at words. He came today, only with a sincere heart, how could there be anything else?
After a while, Xue Buping said: "Lord County, Xiaoyu and the villain are sincerely opposite, although the villain's family is not rich, but as long as the villain has a bite to eat, he will never be hungry Xiaoyu." ”
Flicking his sleeves and robes, the county magistrate said: "Hmph, what a mouthful of food to eat! My dignified county magistrate's daughter, can you eat white rice with you?"
"Forget it, you don't need to say anything about it. Put away your thoughts for today, and I can pretend that this has not happened. I have already agreed with Li Yuanwai in the east of the city, three days later, his son-in-law will come to the door to marry my Xiaoyu, and the dowry is estimated to be coming soon, so you can go. ”
In the end, the county order was naturally an eviction order. However, his words when he was in the mood were like a bolt from the blue to Xue Buping.
Meng Xiaoyu wants to marry someone else, how can Xue Buping accept it? Moreover, the son of the Li family is still a well-known gentleman in the city, and he is idle all day long, if she really lets Meng Xiaoyu marry, then her life will be over!
"I didn't expect the county magistrate to sell his daughter for money!" The more he thought about it, the more Xue Buping's heart felt a little angry. He is true love for Meng Xiaoyu, so he feels extremely resentful of the county order's approach. Such resentment is not only because the county order is unwilling to marry Meng Xiaoyu to him, but also because the county order itself is irresponsible.
However, after all, the county order is Meng Xiaoyu's biological father, and no matter how much resentment Xue Buping has in his heart, he doesn't dare to attack at this moment. So, he could only suppress his anger with a flushed face, but his voice still couldn't help but say coldly: "Lord County Commander, Li Gongzi in the east of the city is a well-known gentleman, if you marry Xiaoyu to him, Xiaoyu will not be happy." ”
Seeing that Xue Buping still refused to give up, the county commander snorted coldly again, and said: "The matter of marriage is the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker! Who is Xiaoyu going to marry, can't I, the father, be the master? Why, does Xue Zhu want to rely on his strong martial arts to decide the belonging of my little daughter today?"
"What's more, Xiaoyu has already told me about some things between her and you. You and her are just playing around on a whim. Now Xiaoyu has fully realized that you are not worthy of her at all, so she has accepted the family's arrangement and is ready to get married in three days!"
"Xue Buping, you listen to me, Xiaoyu knows that you will come to propose marriage recently. That's why she asked me to tell you: 'The past is nothing but a show.'" Now, it's time to wrap it up. ’”
"What!" At the moment when he finished listening to the words of the county order, Xue Buping felt a muffled thunder explode in his brain, causing him to fall to the ground in an instant, and his mind was blank.
"Now, can it end? This can't be...... It's impossible for Xiaoyu to talk like this......" said things like "impossible" in a daze, how could Xue Buping still have half of the appearance of a heroic man on weekdays at this moment? Now in his mind, there are only all kinds of things when Meng Xiaoyu was entangled with him in the past, and he feels that those are the best evidence that Xiaoyu and himself are in love.
After a long time, Xue Buping reacted, and then his face sank, and he looked at the county order and said: "You lied to me, Xiaoyu said yesterday that he would wait for me to come to the door to propose, how could he change his hexagram today?"
"I knew you wouldn't believe it. The county commander looked at Xue Buping coldly, and after a sneer, he continued: "Take it, this is what she asked me to give you." What is this thing called, the flower on the other side, hum, what a ridiculous name!" The words fell, and a small crimson flower also fell in front of Xue Buping.
This flower, Xue Buping naturally recognizes it. It was woven and dyed by himself with bamboo strips, and then he gave it to Meng Xiaoyu by himself. It is a token of love between Xue Buping and Meng Xiaoyu, and its origin is because of Meng Xiaoyu's words.
"Brother Xue, I heard that people have to go to the Huangquan Road after they die. On both sides of the Yellow Spring Road, there is a crimson flower overgrown, called the other side flower. This kind of flower, with only flowers and no leaves, is lonely, which means that lovers will be separated after death, just like the flowers and leaves of the other side of the flower cannot meet. ”
"But I think that there must be a flower and a leaf in the other side, don't you say? If we all die, we will go to the Yellow Spring Road to find the flower of the other side with both flowers and leaves, and we must find it before we stop. In that case, we will be able to be together in the next life, don't you say?"
Xue Buping originally didn't know what the other side flower was, but because of Meng Xiaoyu's words, he went to check the book, and also saw what was written in those gods and monster classics, saying that the other side flower was a real flower and could never be seen.
However, he made such a fake flower by himself. It has flowers, as well as leaves. Xue Buping still clearly remembered the moving expression hanging on Meng Xiaoyu's delicate little face when he gave this flower to Meng Xiaoyu.
And from that moment on, he also knew that he would never be separated from Meng Xiaoyu in his life. Unless, Xiaoyu can give up the flowers she gave her......
"This flower...... This flower ...... This flower ......" Xue Buping picked up the flower that the county order threw on the ground with trembling hands, but the whole person completely lost the ability to think.
This little flower on the other side is what Meng Xiaoyu cherished the most in the past, just like she cherished her relationship with Xue Buping. The flowers are inseparable, this is Meng Xiaoyu's actions to prove her attitude in the past years.
However, now, when Xue Buping held the flowers in his hand, he felt that the crimson and emerald green flowers at the same time seemed to be laughing at his innocence, it was so dazzling, as if an evil spirit was smiling at him.
"Get out, live a more realistic life in the future, An An will be your own catcher and marry a woman who suits you. With a wave of his hand, the county order finally stopped saying more, and regardless of Xue Buping, who was completely paralyzed on the ground at the moment, he walked out of the side hall.
That day, Xue Buping didn't even know how he walked home. After he came out of the prefectural mansion, his eyes were completely devoid of brilliance, like a walking corpse.
In his head, there was nothing. Without the beauty of the past with Meng Xiaoyu, and without the alliance between the sea and the mountains, even the face that he thought he would never forget gradually became dim.
The days went on like this. Xue Buping didn't even know how to eat and dress, let alone go to the yamen on an errand. He just locked himself in his home and squatted at the head of the bed, his eyes open, but he couldn't see anything.
It was not until the third day, that is, the day when the county decree said that Meng Xiaoyu should get married. The time was close to noon, and Xue Buping, who had been motionless in bed for three days, suddenly had a glimmer of luster in his eyes.
Then, he suddenly opened his mouth and said in a voice that was already hoarse to the extreme: "Everything is said by the county magistrate himself, I want to listen to Xiaoyu say it to me in person, otherwise I won't believe it!"
