Chapter 56: Marriage

Qingyang Mansion is located in the southwest corner of Chen country, although the location is remote, surrounded by mountains, the land route is extremely difficult, the water traffic is very convenient, there is Yulong River in the east, there is Jinsha River in the west, the south is the Nu River, after the three big rivers meet in the territory of Qingyang Mansion, form a big river, flow to the southeast, this big river is called the Lancang River, it is also very famous in the whole Chen country.

At this time, on the Jinsha River, a small boat was heading south along the river, and in addition to an old boatman, there was also a pair of young men and women who were very intimate.

The young woman, dressed in pale green clothes, had a white countenance, a graceful figure, and a pair of arms like white lotus roots climbed on the man beside her, although the man had a dark face and a plain appearance, but a pair of eyes were very bright, and at a glance he knew that he was a shrewd and capable person.

The woman in green stood at the bow of the boat, her eyes looked at the man, full of tenderness and sweetness, and suddenly opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, and looked back at the old boatman, as if she was afraid that he would hear it, and saw that he was still far away, so she attached it to the man's ear and said softly: "Jiulang, I was born in Fireworks Willow Lane, and my status is low, you take me back, aren't you afraid of my father's punishment?"

The man smiled and said: "Green willow, I have said many times, my Ma family was born in the 100,000 mountains, not as much as you Central Plains people, in my opinion, you have excellent appearance, and you are good at female popularity, my father and mother are too late to love you, there will be disgust, you still can't believe what I said?"

Green willow sighed softly and said: "I hope so, it's just that you're all good there, you just like to talk big, which makes people feel uneasy, this time you ransomed me, and I don't know where to get the money, but you just told me that someone is willing to exchange a thousand miles of good horses for you for a cart of mountain goods, you said it yourself, who will believe it?"

When Ma Jiulang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "Although I am a person who sometimes says a few words, but this matter is true, no matter what, I don't believe it if I say it now, and the next time I meet that Engong, I will point it to you, and you will know..."

Before he finished speaking, Ma Jiulang suddenly pointed to the bank of the river and shouted, "Look, green willow, this is our father-in-law." ”

Green willow hurriedly looked up to the shore, only to see the bank of the river, a young man in Tsing Yi was speeding on the mountain road, walking lightly, not raising fine dust, running up and down, like a bird, that is, there is a ravine, it is also swept by, but a moment of effort, it has disappeared from view.

Seeing that the young man in green clothes had disappeared, Lu Liu suddenly let out a soft "ah", and hurriedly bowed down in the direction where the young man disappeared, chanting words in his mouth.

Seeing her strange expression, Ma Jiulang asked, "Lady, what are you reading?"

Lu Liu straightened up and said softly: "Although I don't know where this young man came from, but he is always our father-in-law, since I can't thank him in person, I can only bow down and pray for him." ”

Ma Jiulang heard the words and said, "What the lady said is true. "Say that, bow down as well.

This young man in Tsing Yi is none other than Bai Cheng, who has just come out of the Blood Flame Army camp, his trip was extremely smooth, not only did he get his wish to learn to become a "Flying Dragon Cloud Explorer", but also practiced this martial art to the fourth realm of legend, and he was very happy in his heart.

Bai Cheng was happy in his heart, and because there were no passers-by in the mountains, he ignored the shocking world and hurried away, but he didn't know that someone on the boat in the river happened to see him.

Running at full strength, within half an hour, Baicheng had seen the city wall of Qingyang Mansion from a distance, so he slowed down his pace and walked towards the city.

Entering the city gate, Bai Cheng walked all the way east along the street, and suddenly, a burst of aroma came to his nose, turned his head to look, and saw a bun shop around the corner, just out of the cage a few drawers of meat buns, full of aroma.

Bai Cheng came out of the Blood Flame Army camp early in the morning, and until now the water and rice have not touched his teeth, and he didn't smell this aroma, but when this aroma rushed, he only felt that his stomach was rumbling, and he secretly said in his heart, the time agreed with Zhang Daoren was still early, so it was better to have a full meal before it was too late.

Thinking of this, Bai Cheng stopped, came to the steamed bun shop, asked for a drawer of steamed buns, asked for a small dish of vinegar, and ate it in a big gulp.

This steamed bun shop has been open here for three generations, the steamed buns are very good, the skin is thin and the filling is large, the fragrance is smooth and greasy, and the size is big, and ordinary people can eat enough for two or three.

Bai Cheng is a person who practices martial arts, and the amount of food is already large, since breaking through the Yi Jin Realm, the daily qi and blood run, stimulating the growth of muscles and bones, and the amount of food has increased a lot.

When the guy at the bun shop saw that Bai Cheng asked for a drawer of steamed buns, he thought that he had made an appointment with a friend to eat breakfast, but he didn't want Bai Cheng to finish eating a drawer, so he asked for another drawer, and couldn't help but be shocked, staring at Bai Cheng intently.

Bai Cheng was full of food and drink, and when he looked up and saw the guy staring at him, he was a little surprised in his heart, and asked, "This old man is looking at the little brother, but is there something wrong?"

This guy's surname is Zhang, the fourth in the family, known as Zhang Xiaosi, he likes to listen to books since he was a child, and recently he has been fascinated by the Xianxia novels that circulate in the market. And these monsters and demons are magical, and ordinary people can't recognize them after the change, and the only way is to judge from the amount of food, but because they have been in the mountains and forests for a long time, the amount of food is very large, and after becoming a human form, the amount of food is still undiminished.

Zhang Xiaosi saw that Baicheng ate a lot at this time, and he suspected that Baicheng was a monster, and looked at his own family, just because he often stole buns to eat, he was also wide and fat, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

However, he has been working in the store for a long time, he is well-informed, and he is also a little anxious, so he squeezed out a smile in the midst of sorrow, and lied and said: "There is a temple fair in the Yuelao Temple today, how many men and women go to the temple to seek marriage, I see that you are handsome, why don't you go to the temple to seek marriage?"

Bai Cheng saw that his smile was more ugly than crying, and he didn't know why, so he smiled and turned away.

When Zhang Xiaosi saw him leaving, he secretly said in his heart that he was fortunate that Lao Tzu would shoot the horse, otherwise he would be in trouble today, but he didn't expect that he would scare himself from beginning to end.

Bai Cheng walked along the street, and outside the Yuelao Temple not far away, he saw many young men and women coming in and out, and he was a little curious, so he walked in.

Entering the temple gate, Bai Cheng saw men and women in groups of threes and twos, all laughing in front of the hall, only a scholar in a blue shirt stood alone on the side, trembling like chaff.

Bai Cheng stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's cold today, is Brother Tai sick?"

The blue-shirted scholar was slapped by him, and couldn't help but feel excited, turned his head to see Bai Cheng, and saw that his face was handsome and not like a bad person, so he put his mind at ease and said: "Thank you Brother Tai for your concern, Xiaosheng is in good health, but he is just a little anxious." ”

Bai Cheng smiled and said, "I see that Brother Tai is not very old, why should he be in such a hurry, could it be that the second elder of the family can't urge him to get married?"

The blue-shirted scholar sighed, pointed to a red-clothed woman who was worshipping in front of the hall, and said: "Have you seen the woman in red, she is my childhood sweetheart's cousin, and the two of us have a very good relationship, and I was going to send someone to her house this year to propose, but a few months ago, one of her cousins suddenly came here from out of town, and since then, she is a little rusty with me. ”

Bai Cheng said with a smile: "As long as the kung fu is deep and the iron pestle is sharpened into a needle, Brother Tai just needs to pester her, why worry about it here." ”

The blue-shirted scholar sighed and said, "Did you knock on the bag in her hand?"

Bai Cheng nodded slightly.

The blue-shirted scholar continued: "It is said that this Yuelao Temple is extremely effective, as long as the marriage that you look forward to in your heart is written on paper, sealed in the bag, and then thrown into the Yuelao Well next to it, you can get what you want, just now she said that she wanted to write down her wish, and I was not allowed to peek at the side, so she drove me away, alas, I don't know what she wrote." ”

Bai Cheng smiled: "What's so difficult about this?"

After that, Bai Cheng turned around, and with a move, a note appeared in his palm, and then he opened it to take a look, but saw that the note read: "I am willing to grow old with Zhang Sheng." ”

Bai Cheng read the note, turned his head and asked, "I don't know my brother's surname?"

"Xiaosheng's surname is Zhang. ”

"I don't know her cousin's surname?"

"The surname is Wang. ”

Bai Cheng laughed, handed the note to him, and turned to leave.

The blue-shirted scholar opened the note and saw that it was his cousin's handwriting, and when he looked up again, Baicheng had disappeared.
