Tianjiazhai.
It has been three days since Tian Yuping went to Zhong'an Fort and he has not come back. Tian Xiaoting is very worried.
On this day, the two followers were released and told Tian Xiaoting about the situation in general.
Tian Xiaoting was so surprised that she couldn't sit still anymore. She arranged her family affairs, rode a fast horse alone, and went to Jin Xiangyang to argue.
As soon as she entered the mountain gate, the guard noticed her and removed the double guns she was carrying.
Then, someone brought Tian Xiaoting to the hall.
When Jin Xiangyang saw that Tian Xiaoting was coming, he quickly stood up and came out to greet her. He laughed and said, "Little sister, you are finally here. Please sit down."
"Where is my brother?" Tian Xiaoting asked him as soon as he entered the door.
"Don't worry, your brother is fine. Sit down first, and we'll talk slowly if you have anything to say." He laughed and laughed.
"Stop talking nonsense, I want to see my brother!" Tian Xiaoting said, "Take me to see my brother quickly."
"Little sister, listen to me. You can see her when you see her, but you can't take him away now. I have something to tell you. Once you've said it, you can do whatever it takes." He ordered, "You guys take her with you." Go see her brother.”
"Okay then." Tian Xiaoting thought to herself, it wouldn't be good to get stuck on someone else's three-thirds of an acre of land. She should meet my brother first.
They took Tian Xiaoting to a room. The door was locked. Through the window, they saw Tian Yuping, "Brother, are you okay?"
Tian Yuping was lying listlessly on a bed. When he heard Tian Xiaoting's voice, he stood up shakily and said, "Little sister, why are you here? You shouldn't be here."
"Brother, they didn't torture you, right?" Tian Xiaoting asked with concern.
"It's not torture. It's just that they haven't given me a big cigarette for the past few days. It's really unbearable." Tian Yuping said, with runny nose and tears, and his whole body was shaking.
Tian Xiaoting got angry when her brother said this, and thought, could that big cigarette be your lifeblood? Look at how thin you are, and you still smoke! Tian Xiaoting knew that once you become addicted to cigarettes, you can't live without them for a day. If you are used to smoking, and you are suddenly not allowed to smoke, it will really kill someone. "Brother, as long as you are fine, I will come and negotiate with them."
"How about it, sister, your brother is intact," Tian Xiaoting returned to the hall and heard Jin Xiangyang say, "Sister, I have admired you for a long time and sincerely, how can I hurt your brother? Don't give him a big smoke. It’s for his own good if you smoke.”
"Jin Xiangyang, we are all people in the green forest. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. What do you mean? What do you want?"
"Okay, okay! Girl, you are such a cheerful person and speaks quickly. I like this personality, so I will tell you straight away." He paused, and then said, "I have heard your name for a long time, and I admire you very much. Jiu, my love for you is higher than the mountains and deeper than the sea, and I sincerely want to marry you as my wife."
"Do you really think so?" Tian Xiaoting was indeed a little confused, "Are you sincere?"
"That must be sincere, sister. If you don't believe it, I can swear to God."
"That's not necessary," Tian Xiaoting thought for a long time, "Since you are so sincere, then I agree to this marriage."
"Really?" Jin Xiangyang thought he heard wrongly, but he didn't expect Tian Xiaoting to agree so readily. He couldn't believe it was true, "Little sister, are you lying to me?"
"I've said what I said, it's hard to follow the horse. How can marriage be a piece of cake? However, I have three conditions." Tian Xiaoting said.
"Okay, okay, as long as you agree to this marriage, let alone three conditions, even three hundred conditions, I will agree to you," he said, "What three conditions?"
"First, you must make it clear that the matchmaker is marrying you, and use an eight-carat sedan to carry me in. If you want to do it casually, that won't work. After all, my brother and I are also hanging out in the street, so we still need this face. Secondly, I cannot be a minor, I must be the head wife. If I am asked to be a side wife, I will not do it. Thirdly, the bride price must not be less than 10,000 taels of silver."
"Okay, I promise you all these three items," Jin Xiangyang said. "I will definitely honor them. Are there any other conditions?"
"there is none left."
"Then let me and my brother go back now. After my brother and I go back, we will prepare the dowry." Tian Xiaoting said.
"Sister, it's not that I don't worry about you. This is not okay. Your brother has to stay here for the time being. If I let you two brothers and sisters go back, what if something changes?" Jin Xiangyang is not stupid either. .
"Okay, then I will go back alone to prepare the dowry. However, you must entertain my brother well and not cause him any pain. In addition, you must send him the big cigarettes."
"Okay, everything will be done as you say, sister."
Not long after Tian Xiaoting left, a gunner named Dongfeng came to report to Jin Xiangyang: "Reporting to the regiment leader, Tian Yuping has become addicted to cigarettes again. He is crying and in excruciating pain. Please ask the regiment leader not to send big cigarettes to him."
"What are you giving me? He is just a cheap person. I just want to kill his prestige and don't give it to him." Jin Xiangyang said.
"Leader, Tian Yuping is nearly sixty years old and is not in good health. He has not eaten for several days. If this continues, someone may die."
"Don't worry about him. Who made him disagree with my marriage to Tian Xiaoting? Look, Tian Xiaoting herself agreed, but he got in the way!"
