There was nothing to say all the way, and in the blink of an eye, the next morning, the sea boat successfully arrived in the north city of the island, and Gong Huaiming gave the owner a silver ticket of fifty taels as the cost of the boat.

Looking at Gong Huaiming's back, the shipowner couldn't help but sigh with emotion, feeling that in this world, there are also immortal masters who treat ordinary people like them with pleasant faces, this time I didn't meet them, and I couldn't believe anything.

After Gong Huaiming got off the boat, the first thing he wanted to do was to find a restaurant and have a good meal. Yesterday when I was on the ship, the owner gave me a warm reception, but what could be made on board was just an ordinary meal.

Gong Huaiming inquired all the way and found the best tavern in the north of the island, when he raised his leg to enter, the tavern had not yet opened, and the stools were still on the table.

Gong Huaiming called Xiao Er over and asked him to choose delicious food and delicious food for the table, and then he picked a window seat and sat down. didn't wait long, Xiao Er first brought Gong Huaiming a few cold dishes and a pot of wine.

Gong Huaiming poured himself a glass and drank it all, he didn't have any special hobby for wine, but he just wanted to drink a few glasses at this time.

After drinking three or five glasses of wine in a row, Gong Huaiming picked up the chopsticks, and just about to eat the vegetables, he heard the sound of drums outside the door, and then heard a child shouting: "Hurry up, scatter the money." ”

The street was very lively, Gong Huaiming grabbed a chopstick dish, threw it into his mouth, and looked at the scene outside by the way, only to see that there was a team on the street, and at the front were two people riding horns, a man and a woman, they were all old acquaintances of Gong Huaiming, the man was Fang Mengyu, and the woman was Fang Mengyan. Behind the two siblings was an old woman, riding an old and weak horned horse, who carried a small bag in her bosom, and from time to time put her hand into the sack, and took out some sweets, copper coins, and some small pitiful silver bills, and scattered them. The children around the area, as well as some adults, will rush up and scramble.

Every time the old woman sprinkled a handful, she would shout: "The immortal master went to Ouyang's house to propose marriage, and the immortal master wanted to take Ouyang Jingyuan's eldest lady as a concubine, and the immortal master said that this is a great joy, and we want to have fun with the people, and this is to reward our big guys." ”

Behind the old woman, followed by a few people carrying the bride price, and then behind a few drummers, suona, drums, sheng, all kinds of things, very noisy.

Fang Mengyu was wearing a bright red dress with a big red flower tied on his chest, it seemed that today was not only to propose, but also to marry the bride back. The "bridegroom" looked smug and complacent, arching his hands from time to time and arching his hands towards both sides of the street.

When Fang Mengyu and Fang Mengyan passed by the tavern window, Gong Huaiming's heart moved, and he turned around, not letting the Fang brothers and sisters see him. When the team passed, Gong Huaiming showed a sneer, I have to play a good role with you today.

Gong Huaiming waved his hand, called Xiao Er over, and gave him five taels of silver, "You go and help me inquire first, and see if the person who passed by just now really came to Ouyang's house to propose? If so, you can help me keep an eye on it, if the people from Ouyang's family open the door to let the pair of brothers and sisters who proposed marriage in, you can come back and report me quickly." Go quickly, if you delay me......" Gong Huaiming broke the corner of the table with his hand, "Well, understand?"

"Yes, yes. Xiao Er looked at the table with one corner missing, his face turned white with fright, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense, "Master, look at it, I'll help you keep an eye on it." ”

Gong Huaiming sent Xiao Er away and continued to sit in place to drink and eat. After waiting for almost a stick of incense, Xiao Er ran back, "Master, I can see clearly, the Ouyang family opened the door and let the person who proposed the marriage in." ”

Gong Huaiming slowly poured a glass of wine, drank it all, and took out a silver ingot weighing ten taels and slapped it on the table, "This is wine money, too much, reward you." ”

Xiao Er was stunned and looked at the silver ingot on the table, obediently, he finally served this plague god away.

Gong Huaiming inquired all the way and found the Ouyang family, the Ouyang family is a big family, on both sides of the vermilion lacquer gate, there are two willow trees, there is a sea wolf statue under the willow tree, and there are two people standing next to the sea wolf statue. In front of the gate is a square, and in one corner of the square there is a well, and from time to time people come to fetch water with buckets.

At this time, the Fang brothers and sisters had already entered Ouyang's house, and the people who carried the bride price and the drummers were resting in the gatehouse, and the old woman was nowhere to be seen, probably following the Fang brothers and sisters in.

Gong Huaiming recognized the door and walked towards the door with relief. The two subordinates of the Ouyang family hurriedly stopped him, "Alas, who are you?

"I have an old relationship with your young lady, and I am here to catch up with her. Gong Huaiming opened the river.

The two villains were anxious, "Our young lady is an innocent person, you crazy maniac, you dare to ruin our young lady's reputation, are you begging for a beating?"

"Get out of the way. Gong Huaiming didn't want to waste time on the two subordinates, he used the water control technique, pointed his fingers in the direction of the well, and rushed out two streams of water from it, which poured the two subordinates into the cold at once, "If you dare to stop me again, there will be no mercy." ”

The two subordinates were so frightened that they knelt on the ground, those who could use spells were immortal masters, and they couldn't afford to mess with them. Gong Huaiming flicked the sleeves of his robe and casually pointed to a subordinate, "You stand up and show me the way." ”

The subordinate didn't dare to say anything, so he quickly stood up and took Gong Huaiming into the Ouyang family's mansion. The Ouyang family's house is very large, if it is a person who has never been in before, if he turns around, he must get lost. However, with someone to lead the way, Gong Huaiming didn't waste time and quickly found a place.

The subordinate who led the way pointed to a big house, "Immortal Master, that's where our patriarch stays, if our patriarch receives the pair of immortal masters who came to propose marriage just now, he will definitely receive them here." ”

Gong Huaiming waved his hand and sent his subordinates away, and then tiptoed to the side of the door of the house, stuck to the wall, and listened to the movement inside.

"Patriarch Ouyang, Mr. Ouyang, I have made the stakes very clear to you, and I promised Ouyang Jingyuan to my brother as a concubine, but I didn't insult Ouyang Jingyuan at all. We brought the matchmaker and the bride price today, do you agree or disagree? Give me a happy word. Fang Mengyan's voice was a little proud and arrogant.

A woman's crying voice came out, "Then you can't be a concubine, our Jingyuan is also the eldest lady of a big family, and she is a concubine for Fang Gongzi, how can I agree to be a mother? In this way, I can also have an explanation with our family Jingyuan, and if it is spread, it will not ruin the reputation of our Ouyang family. ”
