Who is too old to die?
Not Wan Lan yet.
It was a person next to Fubai who spoke. After speaking, he took the five taels of silver reward Fubai gave him with a smile.
"You..." Wei Wei was about to say something.
Suddenly the crowd erupted.
"Look, look, is that a betrothal gift?"
I don’t know who shouted, and everyone looked to the other side of the street.
I saw a few people playing gongs and drums coming from the other side.
Following behind were tall and handsome men wearing black clothes with a red satin tied around their waists. They were neatly dressed and had a pole on their shoulders.
The carrying pole was bent under the weight, and underneath were two opened boxes.
"Hey, this box is made of huanghuali wood, look at it."
The first carry of the betrothal gift stopped in front of the sedan chair, followed by the second and third carry...
"Oh my God. Is that gold? Oh my God, it's so bright it's almost blinding me."
"Six boxes of gold..."
"Silver, silver, silver is here too."
Those who followed were carrying the betrothal man, and he was lifting it again and again. He could no longer put it down outside, so he could only lift it into the yard after everyone in front had seen it.
"How much does this cost?"
The Xu family's etiquette came all the way and took a thick stack of booklets handed over by the leading man.
"This is the betrothal gift from my master to Miss Xu. It's late. I hope Miss Xu won't be surprised."
She hasn't gotten married yet, so it's still Miss Xu who wants to give it to her before she gets married. All of it is her pre-marital property.
When Xu Wanning heard the sounds outside, her heart felt hot.
Then the liturgical singing was heard.
"Bride price: 8,000 taels of gold, 80,000 taels of silver..."
"hiss……"
There were gasps of air all around.
The etiquette goes on to sing: "There is one house in the east of Kyoto, with two shops. There are two houses in the north of the city, with three shops. There is one house in the south of the city, with five shops, and in the west of the city there are three shops. There are six houses outside the city, with several houses."
"hiss……"
There were gasps from people outside, even Xu Wanning...
Shocked.
Did he give himself so much as a betrothal gift?
After the ceremony, various kinds of gold, silver, jade, jewelry, hair, cloth, etc. were sung, and the sound of breathing around them was getting louder and louder.
"Oh my gosh, I thought Miss Xu married someone from a poor family, but I didn't expect that she is so rich. With so much gold and silver, Miss Xu will be able to have enough food and clothing for the rest of her life."
"Yes, with so much money, it doesn't matter whether the man is useful or not. If my man gives me so much money, it won't matter if he doesn't go home."
Wei Wei was born into a noble family and regarded money as dirt.
But when I grow up, I have never seen so much dung.
If you say you are not jealous, even ghosts will not believe you.
The nurse beside her got her instruction and immediately said: "I'm afraid this man is not only incapable of sexual intercourse, but also looks bad. Otherwise, why didn't he show up on the wedding day today? Do you know You’re too ugly, so you don’t dare to show your face?”
"That's right. No matter how rich you are, can you survive facing such an ugly face every day?"
Fu Bai played with a few copper coins in his hand.
Throw it up and pick it up again.
This copper coin will be useful later.
"The groom's officer is here. Look, the groom's officer!"
Following the person delivering the betrothal gift was a man dressed in red, coming elegantly.
"Oh my God, this groom is so handsome!"
Because she was far away and blocked by many things, Wei Wei did not see the groom. She only heard the woman's delicate and shy voice coming from the crowd.
Wei Wei: "..."
hansome?
Wei Wei wanted to tear the mouth of the person who spoke.
"So what if he's handsome? Can he be a meal or a bride?"
"Oh my God, why does he look like this? It's inhumane. I would love to open my eyes every day and see this face and figure!"
The crazy shouts of the women watching the excitement became more and more outrageous, and Wei Wei became more and more disdainful.
"You know nothing about it. You haven't experienced the feeling of love between a man and a woman, so what do you know!"
Not only women, but also some married women are feeling emotional.
"It's something that happens a few times a year when you get older. If you encounter someone who doesn't know how to do it, it will only make you uncomfortable. It's really better to marry someone who is pleasing to the eye. Seeing this face makes you feel that you can live happily for several more years. .”
It was the woman next to me who was muttering: "Besides, if you do that thing, you still worry about getting sick. If you don't do it, you'll be fine, and you won't be worried about getting any kind of disease."
"It's just that some time ago, someone deliberately infected the Hualiu disease. The woman next door to me was infected with the disease when her man visited a brothel, and it was also passed to her. She was at home all day long, trying to survive. There's no way she can live like this. It’s passed.”
"I also think it's good not to be humane. Think about it, Miss Xu has a son anyway, and if her man can't be humane, he won't go to that dirty place. If he doesn't go to dirty places, he won't get sick. She also puts a hundred and two Ten hearts!”
Wei Wei, who was infected by the man's disease: "..."
Since when are inhumane men still highly sought after?
This group of women just can’t get enough of sour grapes.
At this time, a frightened voice trembled, "Stop talking, shut up."
"You know who that is!"
"Who?"
The groom had already come closer. Wei Wei saw the tall and handsome face on the horse, and heard someone whispering: "That's Pei Heng Pei, the former eldest son of Zhenguo Gongfu and now the governor of Jin Linwei." Grand Governor.”
Wei Wei: "..."
It was him that Xu Wanning married!
How could Xu Wanning marry him?
After learning the identity of the groom, apart from the sound of gongs and drums from the welcoming team, there was no other word.
The people watching the excitement, no matter how much they dared to move forward, stepped back as if they had seen a ghost.
Someone once again threw wedding money and candy at the door of the Xu family and the Pei family. This time, there were double portions, but no one dared to step forward to pick them up.
That was Pei Heng.
There were only some children who were ignorant of the world and happily picked up a double share of happiness in front of the sedan chair.
After Wang Xingmin arrived at the gate, he dismounted, walked to the sedan, and stood in front of the sedan respectfully waiting.
There were all kinds of sounds outside before.
All kinds of noisy sounds rushed through the thin sedan curtain and broke into Xu Wanning's ears.
But she couldn't hear those words. She only remembered Wang Xingmin's words.
"Miss Xu, please wait patiently, the Governor is already here."
Xu Wanning's hanging heart has dropped.
He said it would be a little bit of auspicious timing, but it turned out to be just a little bit of a miss.
Wang Xingmin added: "Miss Xu, the Governor has arrived."
Xu Wanning's heart suddenly jumped up again.
As soon as he finished speaking, one hand opened the curtain of the sedan chair.
The sunshine outside shone in, and through the hazy red hijab, Xu Wanning saw Pei Heng's smile.
"Aning, I'm here to marry you."
