Chapter 65 Otherwise the rest of my life...
In the river view room by the Wei River, Wang Jingzhe woke up in the morning, drew back the curtains and opened the window, and saw a figure sitting on the bluestone steps not far from the stilt house. Xiaocao was wearing a dress, her hair casually tied behind her head with a two-foot red hairband, she was not wearing any makeup, and she stretched her bare feet into the water, casually slapping the water with her feet, creating ripples. At this time, the morning light from the horizon just happened to fall on her body, casting Xiaocao's figure in the river.
Green mountains, Wei River, ripples, and women, this picture is very artistic, just like the mountains, rivers and ladies painted by Fu Baoshi, it is so beautiful that it is beyond words.
Wang Jingzhe watched quietly for a long time, and then walked out of the stilt house as if possessed by a spirit. When he got closer, he saw that there were several green fish swimming around the feet of the little grass girl who had stretched into the river. She was having a lot of fun.
By chance, when Xiaocao lifted her foot, Wang Jingzhe's eyes fell on the sole of her foot. There was an obvious dark red mark in the middle of the sole, and then he smiled.
Xiao Cao seemed to sense someone behind him, and seemed to know it was Wang Jingzhe. He said without turning his head: "Thank you, sticking ginger on your feet and drinking a cup of aged vinegar soaked in wolfberries are indeed effective for insomnia."
"Some old prescriptions are good. They have been verified by the ancients for who knows how many years. There must be a reason why they have been passed down." Wang Jingzhe said, then suddenly frowned and blurted out a sentence: "The riverside is damp, and moss is easy to grow on the bluestone steps. If you sit on them like this, the moisture will enter your body through your... uh, at least you should put something under your butt, right? If you happen to have your period recently, you will inevitably have a stomachache. If it continues for a long time, the moisture will increase and it will be difficult to cure."
Xiao Cao turned her head, glared at her fiercely, and said, "You never talk like this?"
Wang Jingzhe blushed and asked in surprise, "Is there anything wrong with what I said?"
Xiao Cao: “…”
She discovered that when it comes to the art of language, people really do rely on talent. Take the fool behind her for example. He is the kind of person who is born unable to speak and can choke people when he speaks.
Xiaocao simply kept silent. Wang Jingzhe stood there awkwardly for a while, feeling a little overwhelmed. After a while, Wang Jingzhe took off his shoes and sat on the steps next to him. He put his feet in the water and took the initiative to find a topic.
"You took that pair of embroidered shoes away. At that time, you promised her that you would bury her together with her husband, whose burial place is unknown. It's okay for ordinary people to go back on their words, but for people like us, once we say something, it's like spilled water. We can't take it back. Once we promise something, we won't go back on our word easily. You have to think carefully about how to deal with the aftermath. If you can't do it, she might resent you, which is not a good thing."
Xiao Cao: “…”
Wang Jingzhe thought for a moment and then said, "If you don't know how to deduce, I can try to help you. It's only been about a hundred years since the Republic of China. The woman's family lives nearby and it's not certain that they have moved away. It shouldn't be difficult to find her. If there are elderly people in the family, you may find some clues by asking around."
The grass sighed and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome, I'm just reminding you."
"Do I need you to remind me? Do I have no idea how to solve the trouble I have taken on myself? Do you think I am as stupid as you?"
Wang Jingzhe opened his mouth, his face flushed for a long time, and then he said angrily: "Why do you have such a bad temper? I didn't provoke you."
"If you let me see you, you're provoking me." Xiaocao retorted to Wang Jingzhe unreasonably, retracted her feet that were stretched into the water, put on her sandals and stood up. When she lifted her feet, perhaps she used too much force and water splashed onto Wang Jingzhe.
Wang Jingzhe gritted his teeth and said, "It's really unreasonable."
Xiao Cao sneered and said: "Talking reason to a woman? You still say you are not stupid, haha"
Wang Jingzhe was speechless. This statement indeed made sense.
Xiaocao shook her long hair, lifted the hem of her skirt to reveal a piece of smooth and white calf, and suddenly turned around and walked away. Wang Jingzhe turned his head to look at her figure bathed in the sun and walking lightly away. Although the other party had just yelled at him unreasonably, a few words still popped up in Wang Jingzhe's mind.
"You shouldn't have seen such a stunning woman when you're young, otherwise you'll be her shadow for the rest of your life..."
Xiaocao was indeed in a bad mood today. When she woke up in the morning, Mao Qingshui told her that the people from Qinghe Cui family had already set out for Longxi. They would go to Boling first and then come here. According to calculations, there were only a few days left.
When Mao Qingshui said this, she was very happy and excited. It really proved the saying that the more the mother-in-law likes her son-in-law, the more she likes him, although Mao Qingshui had never met the eldest son of the Cui family.
Xiaocao didn't say anything about it. She just said "As long as you are happy" and left. She was obviously obedient to her parents' words and the matchmaker's orders, as if she had no objection to this marriage.
The entire Longxi Li family was shrouded in an atmosphere of joy. Xiaocao's younger brother was still young and would not reach marriageable age for at least seven or eight years. Therefore, Miss Xiaocao's marriage became a big event for the Longxi Li family recently. The most important thing was that the man was the eldest son of the Cui family in Qinghe County.
Proposing marriage means engagement, and it will basically not change.
Three days later, someone came from Tiandao Peak of Fanjing Mountain. It was Xiaocao's elder, her uncle, and everyone called her Grandma Yu.
The real person in charge of Xiaocao's marriage was not Mao Qingshui or Li Lanrong, but Fanjing Mountain, because the eldest son of Qinghe Cui was also the chief disciple of Nan Kunlun.
The union of the Cui family of Qinghe and the Li family of Longxi is considered a marriage. Similarly, the union of Tiandao Peak and Nankunlun is also a marriage. This is a win-win situation.
After Granny Yu arrived in Longxi, she called Xiaocao over alone and gave her several instructions. She said that your marriage is a very important matter, and is very important to both your sect and your family. Moreover, the young master of Qinghe Cui's family is very good-looking and talented , so he will be a good match for you.
Xiao Cao replied calmly: "Well, it's okay, as long as you are happy..."
In this way, a few more days passed, and the marriage proposal team from Qinghe Cui family had entered Lanzhou and stayed in a hotel, preparing to go to Longxi County in two days.
The day for proposing marriage is only two days away.
Wang Jingzhe stayed in Longxi for nearly a month, waiting for this day.
Once a knife seller sells something on credit, there is no reason to take it back. If it really cannot be taken back, then the seller will bear all the consequences himself.
