"You?" Ling Wei looked at the voice with disdain in his eyes.
What caught Ling Wei's eyes was a rather tall man with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, a broad nose and a square mouth. He was wearing a black golden cloud gown and had a long sword on his waist. He was quite handsome.
He secretly looked at Xu Xiuzhu's zhenqi and his solid foundation. However, Xu Xiuzhu was an upright and open person and did not deliberately hide it.
Ling Xiu sneered and said: "You are just a martial artist in the fifth realm. Do you know what the difference between cloud and mud is? I advise you to take a pee and take a good look in the mirror to see what kind of virtue you are. If a toad wants to eat swan meat, you are worthy of it."
.”
Xu Xiuzhu stood there, his expression as calm as water in a well, but his fists under his long sleeves were already clenching.
Ling Weisui remained silent. As the head of the Ling family, in this situation, he couldn't be as open-minded as Ling Xiu and make others laugh, but the slightly raised corners of his mouth were not very good at hiding it.
Xiu'er is right. Just because this five-level martial artist with unknown origins wants to marry Yan Yingluo, how can he be so virtuous and capable? The Yan family and the Ling family have equal financial resources. Before Yan Yingluo's father died of illness, he finally managed to marry Yan Yingluo.
After talking to Yan Yingluo's father, he temporarily deposited all the wealth in the Ling family to avoid being deprived by shameless poor relatives. How could he be confused by this kid so easily?
This has been a bad habit since ancient times. When a wealthy businessman's family dies of illness and there is no male to pass on the incense, the mother and daughter are left alone. All kinds of relatives often come to the house to hold a big funeral as an excuse to deprive the family of their family.
They cited filial piety and the three cardinal principles and the five permanent principles as excuses. How could a woman with no strength to restrain a chicken refuse?
Therefore, every time when a family is facing death, people from all over the country, acquaintances and people who have never met, come one after another, eat and drink, and decorate the funeral that was originally full of sadness, like the death of a royal relative.
After the war, the fate of the remaining widows and orphans is often very miserable.
As for the inheritance that exists here, it is preserved if it is preserved for one or two years, and it is preserved if it is preserved for one hundred or ten thousand years.
When Yan Yingluo heard Ling Xiu's unkind words, she rolled her eyes at him in front of everyone, then walked to Xu Xiuzhu and took his arm: "Grandma, uncle, Brother Xiuzhu and I have been estranged for a long time.
After signing the engagement, I don’t need anything, as long as I’m with Brother Xiuzhu, that’s enough.”
The guests in the hall were in an uproar, and Ling Wei walked forward with a straight face: "Yingluo, you are still young. You should consider the matter of marriage in the long term. But you can't just look at people by their appearance. There is a saying that you know the person but don't know the face."
At this moment, Xia Ze slowly stood up from his seat and said with a smile: "Master Ling, you are worrying too much. Brother Xu's martial arts talent and character have been personally recognized by our Lord Wu, so you can rest assured."
Ling Wei was a little afraid of this young man at first, but now that he was disrupting the situation again and again, he suddenly became a little unhappy. Not to mention that he deliberately favored Xu Xiuzhu before, but with his appearance, he was really the same as Wuyue Zheng.
Is there any connection between the god Wu Zhui?
Old Mrs. Lin, who had been silent until now, walked up to Xu Xiuzhu and Yan Yingluo on crutches and asked, "Daughter, do you really like him?"
Yan Yingluo's eyes turned red and she nodded repeatedly.
"This child has a very majestic appearance." Old Mrs. Lin looked at Xu Xiuzhu's appearance and said kindly.
"I just don't know if I will bully Yingluo because I am a man when we get married." The old man added casually.
Xu Xiuzhu's original nervousness was swept away, he scratched his head and said: "Grandma...how could it be possible? It's too late for me to hurt Yingluo."
"Where did my little brother learn from me?" the old woman asked.
"Back to my grandmother, my family teacher is Lu Yixiang, known as"
"Who?" Old Mrs. Lin doubted her ears.
"I, Lu Yixiang, have met Mrs. Lin." Lu Yixiang slowly stood up from his seat, cupped his hands and smiled.
Mrs. Lin, who had squinted her eyes, suddenly threw away her crutches like a child, and said with a smile: "Brother Yixiang, I have finally met you!"
Lu Yixiang already had the answer in his mind, but he pretended to be suspicious and said: "Mr. Lin, who are you?"
"Brother Yixiang is so rude. I am Cirou! Sixty years ago, when you came down from Diancang Mountain, you happened to meet me walking outside the city and being chased by a pack of wolves. It was you who saved my life."
Hot tears fell down the old woman's cheeks.
Xu Xiuzhu and Yan Yingluo looked at each other, and some monks Zhang Er were confused.
Lu Yixiang laughed loudly: "How could I not remember that when I was little, you were so courageous. You made a bet with someone in school, saying that you were going to Dian Cang Mountain to pay homage to the Queen of the Goddess. Sure enough, you went alone.
, if I hadn’t come to my aid in time, your parents wouldn’t have to worry to death.”
The creases on the old woman's face revealed a rare blush that only a young girl can have: "Thanks to Brother Tuoyixiang, I was lucky enough to meet Empress Qingshen and get her handwriting, which allowed me to win more than half a month of candied haws."
The two burst out laughing again, leaving everyone dumbfounded.
"This little brother is Brother Lu's apprentice?" the old woman turned around and said with a smile.
Lu Yixiang's eyes were somewhat pleased: "Well, I have lost my parents since I was a child, so my qualifications are not very high, but fortunately, I am a filial child. I used to be a coach in the Yan Mansion, and this child's parents were killed by bandits. I just happened to
When I passed by, I killed the bandit and rescued him. Seeing that he was destined to me, I accepted him as my disciple and grew up with Ying Luo in the Yan Mansion."
Mrs. Lin sighed with emotion: "Brother Lu's disciple is naturally not bad. Besides, my granddaughter's marriage will be decided by her. I will help her look after the marriage, but I will never interfere with her decision. Since the two of them are
We are in love, and I agree to this marriage!"
Xu Xiuzhu and Yan Yingluo were overjoyed and hurriedly knelt down to thank Mrs. Lin for her golden words.
Ling Xiu was shocked when she heard this and said, "Grandma! Sister Yingluo and I have been dating each other for a long time. How can we just change her face? This is too childish."
"It's child's play. I don't know anyone else. Grandma doesn't know you yet. You've been doing harm to other girls in Qingyang Town all day long. But if I ask around, how many girls don't want you to die a good death?" Old Mrs. Lin saw.
My grandson was very angry.
"How can you enhance other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige..." Ling Xiu muttered.
"Mother, Xiu'er is right. Marriage is a matter of triviality. Besides, if Yingluo and Xiu'er can become a couple, it will be a good thing..."
He changed the topic and turned to Xia Ze and asked: "Earlier Mr. Xia said that the two of them invited God Wu Laoshan to act as a matchmaker. Can you provide any evidence?"
Of course, he saw all the young man's bluff. He wanted to use a very high-status Five Sacred God to strengthen his courage, but he didn't expect that it would be a disservice. If the lie was exposed, Xu Xiuzhu would be imprisoned.
The stigma of being a liar.
Ling Xiu was overjoyed and echoed: "That's right! Mr. Xia, take out the token without saying anything."
Xia Ze shook his head and said with a smile: "I really don't have any tokens."
Suddenly, the banquet hall was filled with jeers.
Okay, it turns out that this guy was bluffing after all the fuss.
Yan Yingluo was a little frightened by the white eyes and sarcastic words around her, so Xu Xiuzhu held her arm tightly.
"Since you can't produce the token, does Ling think that Mr. Xia is just looking for fun?" Ling Wei's eyes were fierce, he slightly closed his sleeves, and then there was a dark wind blowing his robe.
"It's true that I can't produce the token, but I can call Wu Zhui, do you believe it or not?" Xia Ze raised the corner of his mouth.
As soon as these words came out, the banquet hall burst into laughter and was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
Ling Xiu's laughter was particularly wild: "Just you? At first, I saw that you were quite familiar with the officers and soldiers at the city gate, so I almost believed you. You are not old, so you are really a braggart..."
His laughter suddenly stopped, because behind the young man, at some point, stood a handsome man who looked like he walked out of an ancient painting.
Wearing a ten-beaded jade crown and a black brocade robe, she moved her hands and feet as gracefully as a fairy. Countless women, regardless of age, stopped and stood, looking shy and intoxicated.
"Coming?" Xia Ze said in a deep voice.
"Little god Wu Zhuan, I have met my lord." Wu Zhuan saluted with a spring breeze smile on his face.
"Lord? Is that man's brain flooded?" Ling Xiu was thinking when someone kicked her hard on the butt and she fell to the ground.
Ling Wei retracted the kicked calf, and then quickly knelt down on the ground: "Ling Wei, the head of the Ling family, has met the Immortal and the God of Wu Mountain here."
When the guests in the hall saw this battle, they also hurriedly bowed down. Looking around in the huge hall, there were all people kowtowing like garlic.
The same is true for Lu Yixiang, Laozu Lin, Xu Xiuzhu and Yan Yingluo.
Wu Zhui flashed and came to the four of them. He helped Mrs. Lin up and said in a cold voice: "Master Ling, I just heard that you seem to be quite disdainful of me as their matchmaker?"
Ling Wei broke out in a cold sweat and raised his head and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, Wu Shanshen, just because Quanzi and Yingluo have already arranged a baby marriage. Such a big thing cannot be changed at will..."
Mrs. Lin was supported by Yan Yingluo and swayed: "You bastard, the ridiculous things my old man committed while drunk are really going to ruin my granddaughter's happiness. Who do you want to marry? Who does Yingluo want to marry?
, it doesn’t matter what you say, it only matters what I say.”
"This..." Ling Wei looked confused.
Wu Zhuan thought for a while and said harmoniously: "It's not sweet to force me. Since both parties have made a marriage contract, how about you and I let the juniors compete according to their abilities? The defeated party will
How about giving up the engagement?"
"I agree, but there is a condition!" Ling Wei said.
"Oh? It doesn't matter, Master Ling," Wu Zhuan said with a smile.
"That kid has to pass Xiu'er's test first, and then he can survive ten rounds without defeat under my hand, then I'll consider him a loser."
Yan Yingluo took a breath of cold air: "Uncle, you are a strong martial artist in the seventh realm. Brother Xiuzhu is only a martial artist in the fifth realm. It is too unfair to have to deal with you two."
"Rules are rules. Whether you agree or not is your business." Ling Wei replied.
Xia Ze took a step forward and crossed his arms across his chest: "How about this, Brother Xu versus Ling Xiu, and me and the head of the Ling family compete one on one?"
