"Getting married!?" Yi Xiaodao was so frightened that he could hardly hold the bowl in his hand.
"That's right!" Xiang Lian'er said with a serious face, "You are not attracted to such a beautiful woman as Sister Yue'er?"
Yi Xiaodao shook his head repeatedly: "How can we get married if we don't even look at what time it is?" As he said this, he picked up the bowl in his hand and started washing it.
Xiang Lian'er pulled the bowl down: "You are almost 20 years old, and you haven't gotten married yet. What are you waiting for! Although Sister Yue'er's parents can't be found now, if they haven't been found yet, will they never get married? You Have you ever thought about Sister Yue'er?"
Yi Xiaodao thought for a while, but still shook his head and said: "No, no, I'm just a beggar, how dare I think about getting married! Besides, marriage is a major matter, parents' orders, matchmaker's words, what does this mean to her and me? What's going on..."
Xiang Lian'er said reluctantly: "My parents are gone too. Am I not going to get married in the future? You are really stupid! Besides, why are you a beggar? We have three thousand taels now, what can't we do?" ? Are you used to being a beggar?"
"But..." Yi Xiaodao still had some concerns.
Xiang Lian'er patted Yi Xiaodao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, it's all taken care of by me. I also have a distant second grandma who lives in Xicheng. I will invite you over later. As an elder, I will witness your marriage. Please invite me again." Isn’t it justifiable for a matchmaker to preside over the marriage?”
Yi Xiaodao came closer and asked in a low voice: "Then...can Yue'er agree?"
Xiang Lian'er winked: "I told you to take care of me, so just worry about it." After saying that, she walked towards He Yue'er, pulled down the rag in He Yue'er's hand, and pulled He Yue'er with her. Yue'er went into the room.
Yi Xiaodao was overjoyed, knowing that Xiang Lian'er had gone to help him find out He Yue'er's intentions. The two girls got along day and night. Since Xiang Lian'er was so sure, maybe things would work out... Thinking of this, Yi Xiaodao When he got excited, he broke the bowl in his hand into two halves...
Yi Xiaodao was startled, turned to look at Xiang Lian'er and He Yue'er's room, secretly stuffed the two broken bowls under the woodpile, pretended to be nonchalant, and continued washing the dishes with a silly smile.
After a while, Xiang Lian'er opened the door and walked out alone, pinching her cheeks as she walked.
"How...how is it? What did she say?" Yi Xiaodao sneaked up to Xiang Lian'er and asked quietly.
Xiang Lian'er glanced sideways at Yi Xiaodao: "Sister Yue'er said you are ugly, stupid, and have no body. You eat in front of others and do things behind others..."
Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaodao's face slowly fell, and he turned around and said, "Oh, if you don't achieve anything, you've made me sound so worthless..."
"But she does."
Shanlian'er's voice came softly from behind...
"Seriously?" Yi Xiaodao couldn't believe it, turned around and grabbed Xiang Lian'er's arm and asked.
"Can I joke about this kind of thing? Why don't you hurry up and buy candles and wedding candies?" Xiang Lian'er rolled her eyes at Yi Xiaodao.
Yi Xiaodao nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Okay! I'm going, I'm going!" Yi Xiaodao hurriedly ran out of the door, screaming strangely as he ran away.
Just as Yi Xiaodao ran away, He Yue'er opened the door and walked out.
Xiang Lian'er walked to He Yue'er and said with a smile: "Sister Yue'er, am I right? Yi Xiaodao really likes you!"
He Yue'er lowered her head and said with a blush, "I'm afraid I'm not good enough for him. Looking back on this journey, every time something happened, I relied on him to stand up. He is so smart and capable, in the future..."
Xiang Lian'er hugged He Yue'er, put her arms around He Yue'er's neck and said, "That's why we must seize the opportunity! When the time comes, I will give you fragrance and make you the most beautiful bride!"
When He Yue'er heard what Xiang Lian'er said, she immediately blushed, hugged Xiang Lian'er, and buried her head on her shoulder. Thinking of Yi Xiaodao who just screamed and ran away, he laughed happily.
Yi Xiaodao was walking on the street, and the people nearby pointed at Yi Xiaodao and whispered to each other.
"Oh, I didn't expect that everyone would know about my getting married so soon!" Yi Xiaodao looked at the people pointing around and felt happy in his heart.
Soon, Yi Xiaodao noticed something was wrong, and it was possible that people near Xiang Lian'er's house knew about it. Because if Xiang Lian'er makes up her mind, she might notify the surrounding villagers, and then she will inevitably need help from others. But no matter where he goes, he can see people nearby talking about him. From time to time, he even sees someone running away from the people around him after seeing him. This is not the reason for Shanlianer.
The more Yi Xiaodao thought about it, the more curious he became, and he asked a teenage girl on the side of the road: "Little sister, that little brother pointed at me and said a few words to you before running away, what were you talking about just now? "
The little girl asked timidly: "Is your name Yi Xiaodao?"
"Yes, how did you know?" Yi Xiaodao admitted frankly and asked.
The little girl smiled naively and said: "I know you, you saved Wancheng. The county magistrate and the district officials are looking for you! My little brother just went to find his parents. Don't leave, he will be here soon!" "
Yi Xiaodao was confused: What do you mean I saved Wancheng? How can I have such great ability to save Wancheng? Going to Beijing to complain and arresting Kong Bao are not comparable to saving Wancheng. Yi Xiaodao shook his head and said, "You must have made a mistake."
The little girl said stubbornly: "You can't be mistaken. That's what my parents told me. Don't leave yet. My little brother will be back soon."
Yi Xiaodao ignored it. Xiang Lian'er was still waiting for me to buy candles and wedding candies to get married. When he thought of He Yue'er waiting for him, Yi Xiaodao stood up and was about to leave. But the little girl hugged Yi Xiaodao's thigh and shouted loudly: "Dad! Mom! I found Yi Xiaodao! Come back quickly, little brother!"
Yi Xiaodao was a little dumbfounded: "Little girl, I told you that I made a mistake, let go quickly, brother still has something to do!"
The little girl refused to let go. Seeing this scene, the people around her gradually gathered around. Those they knew were blocking her from leaving, and those they didn't know whispered to each other. For a while, the empty street became crowded, and there were people in the distance from time to time. Came over here.
"Isn't this a great benefactor? Great benefactor, thanks to you! Otherwise, I, my whole family, would not be able to survive!"
"Yes, that's him! I've seen him on the city wall! Magistrate Zhang has a keen eye and knows how to pick people! If Yi Xiaodao hadn't been sent away at that time, we would all be dead!"
"What's going on? Who is he? Tell me."
The crowd started to make noise, and Yi Xiaodao had become the center of attention, making it difficult to leave.
A small sedan was carried at the end of the street. On both sides of the sedan there were about a dozen servant-looking men trotting along. The servants ran to the crowd and shouted in a friendly tone: "Fellows, folks, please give way. Member Fang is here and wants to see Knight Yi, please lend me some help, thank you very much!"
The crowd dispersed through a passage, and a heroic middle-aged man leaned out from the sedan chair and walked towards Yi Xiaodao, the core of the crowd, with his hands raised: "Xia Yi! I have admired your name for a long time! I can see you today, and I am very happy for my whole life!"
Although Yi Xiaodao has been living on the streets since he was a child, begging for a living, which makes him a little thin, he is not short in height, a full seven-foot-tall man. But this middle-aged man was half a head taller than Yi Xiaodao, and with his muscular body, he looked very powerful, and he felt very oppressive when standing next to him, even though he was hunched over his waist and was a little shorter on his own initiative.
"Uh... don't you dare, dare I ask who is here? But... I've found the wrong person..." Yi Xiaodao was a little frightened and quickly returned his hand.
"Your Excellency, are you Yi Xiaodao?" The middle-aged man asked softly without changing his posture. For such a man of about eight feet, even though his tone was gentle, Yi Xiaodao still felt a little nervous.
Yi Xiaodao nodded and admitted, "Yes, I'm...it's Yi Xiaodao."
"Have you ever tried to capture Kong Bao?" the middle-aged man continued to ask.
Yi Xiaodao nodded stiffly: "It was a fight with a man named Kong Bao. At that time... it was a draw."
The middle-aged man straightened up and nodded: "That's right, Fang is looking for you!"
"What do you want to do!" Upon hearing this, Yi Xiaodao quickly took half a step back and stared at the middle-aged man warily.
"Come down below. I came to Wancheng to do business. I heard yesterday that there was a misunderstanding between Quanzi and Yi Shaoxia. Fang Mou has deeply blamed it. I also asked Master Yi to get on the sedan. Fang heard what Master Yi did and admired him. It has been a long time since I asked Knight Yi to honor me and come to my house, so that Fang can express his respect and let the dog kick the young knight to make amends!"
Yi Xiaodao shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, no, you definitely found the wrong person or heard the wrong news. It's true that I am Yi Xiaodao, but I... I used to... all the folks in Wancheng know that I am A beggar. Yesterday's rich young man... No, my son... he was quite polite. He knew it was wrong to hit someone and he apologized. Who can do anything wrong? Go to your house... This is really... I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it! "
Yi Xiaodao refused and wanted to leave, but the little girl still hugged his thigh tightly. Yi Xiaodao used both hands to pull out his legs, but the little girl was quite fat. It took Yi Xiaodao a long time to move out half a step, but she was still not restrained. That leg walks.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The magistrate is here!"
Before Yi Xiaodao left, another sedan was carried from the other side of the street, followed by a group of government officials and four or five tall horses. The government officials shouted in front to remind the people to get out of the way.
After a while, the sedan was carried in front of the crowd, and a thin old man, who looked like an official, came down. He squinted his eyes and looked at the crowd: "Where is that Mr. Yi! I have bad eyesight, but I can't look at people!"
The onlookers pushed Yi Xiaodao out one after another. The little girl's parents also arrived, pulled the little girl up, and apologized to Yi Xiaodao with a silly smile.
"Oh~ Yi Shaoxia! I have admired you for a long time~ I am the new county magistrate of Wancheng, Pan Boda." Magistrate Pan asked in a low voice.
"Yi Xiaodao, a common man, has met the county magistrate." Yi Xiaodao went to the capital and learned some etiquette. Moreover, out of his good impression of County Magistrate Zhang, Yi Xiaodao returned the salute respectfully and politely.
"Without courtesy, Mr. Zhang, the magistrate of Zhang County, is really good at governing. Yi Shaoxia was forced to live by begging for a living, but he is also brave and courageous, and has thorough etiquette. I admire him! Mr. Yi, if you are not busy, please go to the county Yamen." With that, Pan Boda waved, and a Yamen servant immediately brought over a tall horse and asked Yi Xiaodao to get on the horse.
"Master Pan, what a coincidence, Fang is also here to look for Yi Xia Yi." Upon seeing this, Fang Deng hurriedly stepped forward to talk.
Pan Boda squinted his eyes and took a look, and said quickly: "What a coincidence, look at my eyes, you can't see anything at all! Let's go, let's go to the county government office to talk!"
Before Yi Xiaodao had time to speak, several government servants came over and helped Yi Xiaodao onto the horse without any explanation. Magistrate Pan and Fang Yuanwai also returned to their sedan chairs. The group of people marched toward the county government office in a mighty manner. Some of the people followed behind and shouted happily, while others turned around and went about their own business. Soon, the street gradually became calm.
"What's going on?" Yi Xiaodao was riding on a horse, with a servant holding the reins. The people behind him were cheering and shouting. At this moment, Yi Xiaodao was confused.
