Everyone was already sure that this guy was definitely not a bandit. He just came out to practice his courage alone. As a result, he failed to practice his courage, but he fainted from fear. At this time, everyone had forgotten their fear, and instead felt like they were laughing and crying.
.
"Just throw him on the roadside. After a while, he wakes up on his own."
Zhao Yuan thought for a while, but couldn't think of a better way. He couldn't bring such a giant weighing hundreds of kilograms into Blackwater City. Of course, Zhao Yuan didn't want to get into trouble. Look at this big man, he was very particular about the fabrics of his clothes.
, I guess he has some background, but he will stay in Blackwater City for a while. If he can't join the army, he can kill monsters in the Black Forest, and look for the legendary red heart sacred tree.
Everyone agreed with Zhao Yuan's decision.
After the discussion, everyone worked together to carry the big man to the grass on the roadside.
When they were about to leave, people discovered that the iron rod was stuck alone in the middle of the road, blocking the carriage's path, which seemed particularly abrupt. The fur goods merchant walked over and tried to pull out the iron rod, but it didn't move at all, and pulled another one out.
A leather goods merchant and a crystal gem merchant both called over. The three of them shouted slogans. They were so exhausted that they were sweating profusely, but they still couldn't make any move.
"Xiao Zhao, I can only look at you."
The three of them collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.
Zhao Yuan did not refuse, strode up to the iron rod, held the iron rod with both hands, and with a groan, the thick-mouthed iron rod was pulled out with force, bringing up countless gravels.
"good!"
"good!"
Everyone applauded and praised Zhao Yuan for his amazing power.
Zhao Yuan held the iron rod in his hand and was secretly dumbfounded. The iron rod was extremely heavy and he didn't know what material it was made of. It weighed at least two hundred kilograms, which was heavier than his black-backed long sword.
After throwing the iron rod next to the big man, everyone hurriedly set off to prevent the big man from waking up and getting angry and causing trouble for them again.
The carriage drove quickly and arrived at Blackwater City in the evening.
Blackwater City is the southern gate of the Great Qin Empire and a battleground for military strategists. The city walls are majestic and steep, built against the mountains, and are all made of black stones. At night, it looks like a huge beast lying between the mountains, domineering.
Show all.
After entering the city, the sick old man's family had been waiting at the inn for a long time. It turned out that the old man was from Heishui. He had gone out to work since he was a child. He had a huge family fortune, but he was alone. When he was terminally ill, he
There was no one to inherit his family property, so he thought of his brothers in Heishui City. He wrote a letter telling him that he would sell off his property and return to Heishui City. Perhaps because he had some money, the brothers' family received them warmly...
Zhao Yuan and several businessmen had already discussed it and found the best inn in Blackwater City to stay, wash up and rest each other.
A night of silence.
The next day, Zhao Yuan and a group of businessmen changed into decent clothes, bought some gifts in Blackwater City, and then took their mother and daughter to visit the Qiu family. Xiaocui's mother thanked her profusely.
The Qiu family is indeed one of the richest families in Heishui City. Their mansion is located in a prime area of Heishui City. It occupies an extremely large area and the vermilion door is even more imposing.
Zhao Yuan and several businessmen were considered people who had seen the world. Naturally, they would not be overwhelmed by the Qiu family's atmosphere and knocked on the door with Xiaocui and her daughter. On the contrary, Xiaocui and her daughter were very nervous and a little timid.
"Xiao Cui, you are the best!" Zhao Yuan patted Xiao Cui's shoulder.
"Thank you, brother." Xiao Cui nodded, feeling warm in her heart, as if she had been infused with some powerful spiritual power. She stood outside the gate with her head held high and her chest raised, waiting quietly.
The vermilion gate opened.
When the concierge saw a group of people standing proudly at the door, especially the girl who was surrounded by her, she had an extraordinary temperament. He didn't dare to be embarrassed. He took the greeting card and the red envelope from Xiao Cui and immediately ran in.
Notification.
Soon, the concierge came over with a cheerful smile to show people in.
Progressing well!
Everyone looked at each other and smiled. This meant that they had taken the most important step. As long as the Qiu family saw Miss Xiaocui, there would probably be no problem with the marriage.
The concierge led everyone to the living room, served tea and water very enthusiastically, and told them to wait a moment. The master and his wife were cleaning up and would be there soon.
It seems that there is a clue.
Zhao Yuan knew that most wealthy families would tidy up when meeting distinguished guests to show their grandeur.
Sure enough, when it was just a stick of incense, a group of people came, surrounded by the master and his wife. Xiaocui's mother was old acquaintances with them, so she suppressed her sadness and immediately went up to them. After a few elders saw her, Xiaocui also
He bowed down and saluted without being humble or arrogant, showing everyone's demeanor, which made Mr. Qiu and his wife nod their heads repeatedly and beam with joy.
After everyone was polite, they each took their seats.
After chatting, Zhao Yuan turned the topic to marriage.
An unexpected thing happened. Although the two elders of the Qiu family admired and loved Xiaocui very much, when it came to marriage, they were the ones who ignored him.
"Mr. Qiu, although Xiaocui is just a sister I recognize, she is no different from my own sister. This time, the journey was bumpy. She traveled day and night and traveled thousands of miles to get to Qiu's house. This shows how much we attach importance to that old engagement. It's true.
As the saying goes, a car can't work without a shaft, and a person can't stand without faith. Now Xiaocui has reached the age of marriage, and has been bound by the marriage contract more than ten years ago. She has never been engaged. Today, when I arrived at the Qiu family, whether it works or not, the Qiu family has to do something.
Let me explain, is it possible that Xiao Cui, who has such a beautiful appearance, can't compete with your Qiu family!" After the topic was changed one after another, Zhao Yuan also felt a trace of anger, stood up abruptly, and said sternly.
"Mr. Zhao is serious, he is serious... This engagement is a life-long event. How dare we, the Qiu family, dare to play with it? Besides, I am on good terms with Xiaocui's father, so I will not be embarrassed. It is really... there is something unspeakable.
ah……"
"Mr. Qiu, it's just one sentence whether you can do it or not. If you don't agree with what you say, we can just leave as if we have never been here. It's hard to say, so what's the difficulty!" Zhao Yuan pressed forward step by step.
"This... Xiao Zhao... my mother-in-law, why don't you stay here for the time being, and this matter must be discussed in the long run..." Mr. Qiu shook his head and sighed.
"Master, this Xiao Cui looks like a person. This marriage may happen or not. Besides, this marriage has been arranged long ago, so we can't let Xiao Chong do whatever he wants!"
"Madam...it's better to...let's talk about it later..."
"Master, we, the Qiu family, have nothing to tell anyone. We have nothing to hide. Besides, who in Blackwater City doesn't know about Xiaochong? Are you afraid of being embarrassed?" Mrs. Qiu seemed to be much more cheerful than Mr. Qiu.
.
"That's true...that's true...my mother-in-law, it's only because I don't agree with this marriage. Miss Xiaocui is beautiful, generous and decent. It's the blessings that our Qiu family has cultivated in our previous lives that we can enter into this marriage.
Marriage. It's just... Xiaochong... My son is timid by nature. He stays in his room all day and doesn't go out. He is also afraid of meeting strangers, and even more afraid of meeting girls, let alone getting married, even if he is allowed to meet Xiao Cui.
It’s as difficult as climbing to the sky on one side… ugh…”
