Chapter 147: Blind Date
Everyone has affirmed that this guy is by no means a bandit, he came out to practice his courage alone, but the result is that he didn't practice his courage, but he scared himself out. At this time, everyone has forgotten about being afraid, but has a feeling of crying and laughing.
"Throw him on the side of the road, and in a moment he will wake up on his own. ”
Zhao Yuan thought about it, but he couldn't think of a better way, he couldn't bring such a giant weighing hundreds of pounds into Blackwater City. Of course, Zhao Yuan didn't want to get into trouble, looking at this big man, his clothes and fabrics were extremely particular, it was estimated that he had some background, but he still had to live in Blackwater City for a while, if he couldn't blend into the army, he would kill the demonic beasts in the Black Forest, and by the way, look for the legendary Red Heart Divine Tree.
Everyone agreed with Zhao Yuan's decision.
After deliberating, everyone worked together to carry the big man to the grass by the roadside.
Just as they were about to leave, people found that the iron rod was inserted alone in the middle of the road, blocking the road of the carriage, which was particularly abrupt. The furrier went over and tried to pull out the iron rod, but he did not move, and called the other fur merchant and the spar merchant, and the three of them shouted the trumpet, tired and sweaty, but still unable to move.
"Xiao Zhao, I can only look at you. ”
The three of them sat down on the ground from exhaustion.
Zhao Yuan did not shirk, strode to the iron rod, held the iron rod with both hands, and snorted, the bowl of thick iron rod was pulled out, and it actually brought up countless gravel.
"Good!"
"Good!"
Everyone applauded and praised Zhao Yuan's amazing power.
Zhao Yuan held the iron rod in his hand, and secretly said to himself, this iron rod was extremely heavy, and he didn't know what material Lu Dao was made of, at least more than two hundred catties, which was heavier than his black-backed long knife.
After throwing the iron rod beside the great man, the people hurried to set out, lest the great man should wake up and be angry and trouble them.
The carriage galloped all the way, and by late evening it reached Blackwater City.
Heishui City is the southern gate of the Great Qin Empire, it is the place where the soldiers must fight, the city wall is majestic and steep, built by the mountain, all of them are made of black stone, at night, it looks like a huge beast lying between the mountains, and the domineering spirit is fully displayed.
After entering the city, the sick old man's family has been waiting at the post station, it turns out that the old man is the Heishui people, since he was a child, he went out to break through, but he has a huge family business, but he is alone, when he is terminally ill, his family wealth has no one to inherit, so he thought of the brother of Heishui City, and wrote a letter to inform him that he sold his property and returned to Heishui City, probably because he had some money, and the brothers' family was very warmly received......
Zhao Yuan and a few businessmen had already discussed, and found the best inn in Blackwater City to settle down, wash up, and rest.
Nothing was said all night.
The next day, Zhao Yuan and a group of businessmen changed into decent clothes, bought some gifts in Blackwater City, and took the mother and daughter to visit the Qiu family, and Xiaocui's mother thanked her again and again.
The Qiu family is indeed one of the largest families in Blackwater City, and the mansion is in the area of Blackwater City, covering an extremely wide area, and the vermilion gate is even more atmospheric.
Zhao Yuan and a few businessmen can be regarded as people who have seen the world, so naturally they will not be pressed by the Qiu family's weather, and knock on the door with Xiaocui's mother and daughter, but Xiaocui's mother and daughter are very nervous and a little cowering.
"Xiao Cui, you are the best!" Zhao Yuan patted Xiao Cui's shoulder.
"Brother Xie Lu. Xiao Cui nodded, her heart warmed, as if she had been infused with some kind of powerful spiritual power, her head was high, she stood outside the door with her chest straight, and waited quietly.
The scarlet gate opened.
The porter saw a group of people standing at the gate, especially the girl who was surrounded by her, and she had an extraordinary temperament, and she didn't dare to be embarrassed, so she took the post, took the red envelope rewarded by Xiaocui, and immediately rushed in to report.
Soon, the porter came over with a smile on his face and led people in.
It's going well!
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. This means that they have entered the most important step, as long as the people of the Qiu family see Miss Xiaocui, there will probably be no problem with the marriage.
The porter took everyone to the living room, served tea and poured water very enthusiastically, and said that they should wait a while, the old lady was cleaning up, and he would be there soon.
It seems that there is a spectrum.
Zhao Yuan knew that all large families, when they met distinguished guests, they would clean up and show their grandeur.
Sure enough, when it was just a stick of incense, a group of people came with the lord and the lady, and Xiaocui's mother and them were old acquaintances, restrained their sadness, and immediately greeted them. After a few elders saw it, Xiaocui bent down and gave a salute without humility or arrogance, showing everyone's demeanor, making Master Qiu and Mrs. Qiu nod again and again, happy eyebrows.
After some politeness, everyone took their seats.
After talking, Zhao Yuan introduced the topic to marriage.
An accident occurred, although the two elders of the Qiu family appreciated and cared for Xiaocui, but when it came to marriage, they were talking about him.
"Master Qiu, although Xiaocui is only a sister I recognize, she is no different from her own sister, this time the road was bumpy, day and night, and it took thousands of miles to get to Qiu's house, which shows how much attention is paid to the marriage contract in the past. As the so-called car is not good, people do not stand without faith, now Xiaocui has reached the age of marriage, has been bound by the marriage contract more than ten years ago, has never been engaged, today to the Qiu family, okay, no matter, no matter, the Qiu family always has to give an explanation, is it possible, Xiaocui is like a flower, or climb your Qiu family is not successful!" After being diverted from the topic one after another, Zhao Yuan also had a trace of anger, stood up suddenly, and said sharply.
"Mr. Zhao is serious, serious...... This engagement is a lifelong event, how dare our Qiu family play with children's play, besides, I am good friends with Xiaocui's father, and I will not be embarrassed, it is really ...... It's really hard to say......"
"Master Qiu, whether it is okay or not, just a sentence, if the words are not speculative, we will go with our sleeves, just when we have not come, it is difficult to say, what is the difficulty!" Zhao Yuan pressed step by step.
"This ...... Xiao Zhao...... Mother-in-law, if not, you will stay for the time being, this matter must be considered in the long run......" Master Qiu shook his head and sighed.
"Master, this Xiaocui, it looks likeable, this family business, it will be successful, and it will be successful. Besides, this marriage has already been decided, and it can't be let by the little worm!"
"Madame...... Again...... Or will we talk about it later......"
"Master, our Qiu family has nothing to say to others, what is there to hide, besides, who in Blackwater City doesn't know about the Dao worms, is it possible that you are still afraid of losing face?" Mrs. Qiu seemed to be much happier than Master Qiu.
"That's right...... That's ...... Mother-in-law, it's not that I don't agree with this marriage, Miss Xiaocui, who looks good and is generous and decent, is the blessing that our Qiu family has cultivated in the previous life, so we can order this family business. It's just that...... Bugs...... My son, who is timid by nature, stays in the room all day long and doesn't go out, and he's afraid of seeing people, and he's even more afraid of seeing girls, let alone getting married, even if he and Xiaocui meet each other, it's hard to get to the sky...... Hey......"
