Chapter Thirty-Seven: Silly Woman
The tall woman happened to pass by Heifeng Ridge when she took office with her father. Their group had many vehicles and horses, so they were naturally targeted by thieves from Heifeng Ridge, and they were robbed as a matter of course.
The father and daughter were robbed, but the thieves were dumbfounded after opening the boxes, because what they saw was no gold or silver at all, but boxes and boxes of books.
The bearded man himself was also a child. He had read books when he was very young. Later, he gave up his studies only because of the pressure of life and became a bandit. Seeing these books at this time actually brought back memories of his childhood. In his heart, he had a deep appreciation for those well-read books. The scholar still respected the woman very much, especially when he learned that this was the team that took office as the county magistrate. He respected the woman's father even more. If he took office with so many books instead of gold and silver, he knew that he was a good official without asking. .
The long-bearded man immediately treated the father and daughter as honored guests and invited them to the village to entertain them. From then on, he became acquainted with the county magistrate's daughter, a tall, slender woman. We only lived in the mountain for seven days, but during these seven days, the bearded man and the tall woman actually developed feelings, and they became husband and wife consensually. The county magistrate was naturally furious when he heard about it, but Mi It was a done deal, and it would definitely be difficult for her daughter to find her husband's family again in the future, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept this marriage.
Although Heifeng Ridge was not far from the county seat where he took office, it was not under his jurisdiction. It was an area with no regard for others. The county magistrate had no way to naturalize these bandits, so he thought hard and offered a commission to the bearded man. The big man was not happy with the idea of transporting goods at first, but the tall woman was also a strange woman, and she quickly took care of her man, and then implemented this change. This method took a while. After that, the big man got the benefit, because Heifengling was the only way for merchants to travel. If they took a commission like this, their income would be no worse than before, or even higher than before. This made the long-bearded man very jealous of his wife and father-in-law. convince.
The idea of the long-bearded man taking a concubine actually came from the tall woman. She found out that she was pregnant, and it was difficult to find someone to serve her in the Black Wind Ridge. Although there were women among these bandits, they All of them were rough-handed and could not take care of others at all, so she suggested that the big man find a pretty girl to be his concubine so that he could take care of himself.
This was the reason why she returned to her parents' home a few days ago. Originally, she wanted to ask her father to help find a girl who was flexible and reliable, but suddenly she received a message from her husband, telling her that someone had chosen a concubine, but he had not chosen her. A woman who was rescued from the rescue. The tall woman was worried that her husband had made a mistake in choosing the person, so she hurriedly came back to check. After all, this long-bearded man was engaged in a shady business. If he picked the wrong person, it would probably lead to a fatal disaster in the future. , so tall women dare not neglect them.
When she came back, the big man had already prepared all the things he needed to take a concubine, and even ridiculously invited merchants to drink. This made the woman very angry. First she scolded him severely, and then when she saw the concubine chosen by her husband , and his nose turned crooked with anger.
The woman chosen by her husband is indeed a beautiful woman, but the strange thing is that her hair is all silver-white. It would be fine if it were just that, but she is still a fool who knows nothing. When asked, she will not answer anything, and will only be confused. looked around.
"You said she promised you personally,"
The tall slender woman felt a little more at ease in her stomach, took a breath, and continued to ask.
The big man nodded and said: "Madam, I really didn't lie to you, she promised me personally,"
"How could she agree in person if she looks like this?"
The woman looked at the big man with doubt on her face.
"Madam, how could I lie to you? If you don't believe me, I'll ask you again."
The big man was a little anxious because he really didn't lie.
Seeing that her husband's expression didn't seem to be fake, the tall woman felt even more confused. She sighed and said, "Then ask again and I'll see what's going on."
The big man nodded and carefully helped the woman to the side hall, where a beautiful woman with silver hair was sitting on the bed without saying a word, her eyes looking blankly ahead, not knowing what she was looking at.
"I asked,"
The big man looked at his wife, waiting for her to speak.
The woman nodded, indicating that he could start.
The big man cleared his throat and said to the silver-haired woman: "Girl, will you marry me?"
"I do,"
The silver-haired woman answered without hesitation.
The big man looked at his wife proudly and continued to ask: "Girl, are you willing to follow me all the time?"
"I do,"
The silver-haired woman still agreed, with a hint of excitement in her voice, but after she finished speaking, she continued to sit there motionless, refusing to say another word.
The tall slender woman was even more confused after listening to these words of conversation, because she found that the woman did not look here from beginning to end. Her answer seemed not to be addressed to her husband, but to her gaze. People say that from her eyes, that person is far away from her, so her eyes always look so blank.
"Girl, will you marry me?"
The tall woman suddenly spoke.
"Madam, you are crazy, you also want to take a concubine,"
"I do," the silver-haired woman's answer remained the same.
Her answer left the bearded man speechless. Just as he was about to speak, his wife silenced him.
The tall woman glared at him, and then continued to say to the silver-haired woman: "Are you willing to follow me all the time?"
"I do,"
The silver-haired woman still has these three words.
"Madam, this..."
The bearded man felt that something was wrong. How could a woman agree to such a thing?
"Sigh... try asking in another way and see if she is still willing."
The woman rubbed her forehead, vaguely feeling that her husband had come back out of trouble.
"Girl, stay in Heifeng Ridge,"
"..."
"Girl, be my maid,"
"..."
"Girl, please be my concubine,"
"..."
…
The big man asked more than a dozen different ways, but the silver-haired woman remained silent and didn't even turn her eyes.
"Hey, madam, what should I do? This girl, I can't just take a concubine, but everyone is invited..."
The bearded man realized that things might be complicated. This woman did not agree to be his concubine at all, but was just reacting to those two questions, which made him scratch his head.
"Oh... forget it, let's do this. You show her up, and then after the banquet is over, we can slowly figure out a solution. This girl's life experience is not simple,"
The big man listened to his wife's words, nodded, and then called the two female bandits to help the silver-haired woman to show up at the banquet. The tall woman was worried and rushed with the big man to the valley where the merchants were entertained.
