Upon seeing that Yan Shun and the other two were treating them with disrespect, he immediately snorted coldly.
Yan Shun and the other two were still somewhat confused.
I don't know why this red-haired devil is angry.
Song Jiang, standing beside him, was quick-witted and astute.
He immediately understood the reason.
He quickly spoke up to comfort her.
With him acting as a go-between,
Chao Gai and his group quickly became acquainted with Yan Shun and his companions.
No one moved.
Right there in the hall, he had his henchmen prepare wine and meat.
They began to eat and drink heartily.
After three rounds of drinks,
The little tyrant Zhou Tong tugged at Wang Ying's sleeve and gave him a wink.
The short-legged tiger immediately understood and made up an excuse.
I left the lobby with Zhou Tong this week.
"Brother, why did you call me out so urgently? Have you found some good stuff?"
Wang Ying winked and asked with a lewd expression.
"Brother, don't joke like that,"
Zhou Tong replied with a bitter face, "I had my eye on a country girl and was planning to marry her, but time and again, someone ruined my plans!"
After the little tyrant recounted the story of Liu Taigong's daughter from Peach Blossom Village,
Wang Ying, the short-legged tiger, suddenly lost interest.
This man was extremely lecherous, though he was also somewhat interested in the daughter of Liu Taigong whom Zhou Tong had taken a liking to.
But the thought that this woman had already been taken a liking to Zhou Tong made him realize...
Wang Ying couldn't openly rob them, so naturally he lost interest.
Zhou Tong said so many things.
Naturally, he wanted Wang Ying to lead troops to help him rescue Liu Taigong's daughter.
But seeing that Wang Ying just kept nodding but refused to say a word,
Zhou Tong was one of his kind, so he immediately understood what the short-legged tiger was thinking.
“Brother Wang Ying, when I first went to Liu Taigong’s manor in Peach Blossom Village, intending to secretly abduct Liu Taigong’s daughter, I overheard the tenants mentioning that three people stayed overnight at his manor, one of whom was an exceptionally beautiful girl, with a face as lovely as a flower and the moon…”
Just as Zhou Tong had thought,
Upon hearing that there was a stunningly beautiful young woman, Wang Ying immediately became excited.
"Is this true?"
"Brother Wang Ying, how could I possibly lie to you about this?"
Zhou Tong quickly assured him,
"What I said is true, of course, but now that two or three days have passed, I don't know if that girl and her group are still in Peach Blossom Village?"
"Whether they're there or not, we'll go there and find out."
Wang Ying 2.0 rubbed his hands excitedly and quickly gathered forty or fifty henchmen.
He didn't even greet Yan Shun and Zheng Tianshou.
So they took advantage of the darkness,
Led by Zhou Tong, we headed towards Peach Blossom Village.
......
In Peach Blossom Village,
These past two days have been spent preparing for the wedding of Wu Song and Liu Taigong's daughter.
Because this marriage was arranged by Chen Xizhen,
He was, in a sense, a matchmaker, so naturally, it wasn't convenient for him to leave.
So she stayed in the village with her daughter Chen Liqing and niece Liu Huiniang.
Helping two families prepare for their weddings...
Chapter 327 Wu Song's Wedding
At Liu Taigong's manor,
Looking at his busy brother and sister-in-law, Wu Song also showed a warm smile.
He didn't have any particular feelings about Liu Taigong having a daughter.
But since ancient times, marriages have always been arranged by parents and matchmakers.
Now that my elder brother and sister-in-law have already arranged their marriage,
Wu Song, who was raised by Wu Da from a young age,
He had long regarded this elder brother as half a father.
Naturally, they wouldn't object to his decision.
Everyone had been busy for several days.
The day that Wu Song was to celebrate had finally arrived.
Actually, according to the original folk custom,
Marriage between a man and a woman is not so simple or hasty.
Even ordinary people have to go through the process of proposing marriage and giving betrothal gifts.
But Liu Taigong was already terrified of Zhou Tong, the Little Tyrant.
Fearing that her daughter's marriage would be delayed any longer,
Then Zhou Tong will come to steal the bride.
To keep things simple, the wedding was prepared in just a few days.
"Worship heaven and earth!"
"Two thanks to the high hall!"
"The husband and wife bow to each other and send them to the bridal chamber!"
With Chen Xizhen's shouts,
Amidst the jeers and cheers of the many servants, Wu Song and Liu Xianglan were led into their bridal chamber.
After drinking the nuptial wine, Wu Song came out to toast the guests.
Liu Xianglan stayed alone in the bridal chamber, waiting for the social engagements outside to end.
In the front yard of Liu Taigong's manor,
More than a dozen tables of food had already been set up.
The villagers of Peach Blossom Village, along with all the servants from Liu Taigong's manor, were seated among them.
Everyone ate meat and drank alcohol, creating a joyous atmosphere.
Next to the front yard is a small courtyard, specifically for receiving female guests.
Old Master Liu was getting on in years; his wife had long since passed away, and he had no concubines.
He then entrusted the task to Zhang Saozi, Wu Da's wife, to entertain the guests.
Although this sister-in-law was born in a village,
But having followed Qiong Ying before, I had seen quite a bit of the world.
She is naturally not shy when interacting with people.
The women's side gradually became lively after she spoke a few words.
The village women ate, drank, and chatted.
As they chatted, the topic quickly turned to this Peach Blossom Village.
Whose daughter is still unmarried, and whose young man is still unmarried?
Some of the more quick-witted ones would glance at Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang at the same table while they were talking.
There's nothing we can do; these two are just too handsome and beautiful.
For the women of Peach Blossom Village,
This was, to say the least, the first time I had ever seen such a beautiful woman.
With the mindset of "whether there's a chance or not, I'll take three shots,"
He then thought of persuading Wu Da's wife to mediate between their son and Wu Da.
Sister-in-law Zhang had long realized that Chen Liqing and Liu Huiniang were no ordinary women.
Naturally, he wouldn't readily accept such a suggestion.
However, some of the village women, lacking tact, still insisted on bringing up these kinds of things.
Although Liu Huiniang felt embarrassed, she still managed to hold back.
Chen Liqing, standing to the side, had a fiery temper.
Hearing this, he felt annoyed and slammed his fist on the table.
He stood up with a "snap"!
"I made a vow back then that the man I would marry would at least be better than me in martial arts,"
As Chen Liqing spoke, her almond-shaped eyes swept over the many village women at the table.
"If any of your sons wants to marry me, let him come and test his skills against me. If he can defeat me, then we can talk about these things later!"
After she finished speaking,
A hush fell over the entire table.
Peach Blossom Village was not very big to begin with.
Chen Liqing had previously disguised herself as a man, and almost got Liu Taigong to marry his daughter to her.
There's also the story of him single-handedly chasing down bandits to rescue Liu Taigong's daughter.
It had already spread throughout the village.
These village women naturally all knew that she was skilled in martial arts.
Although Chen Liqing was exceptionally beautiful...
But based on her skills alone, all the village women immediately gave up their plans.
She didn't even dare to think about letting her son try it anymore.
After all, it's a wedding; if this doesn't work, there are always other options.
But if during a competition, you accidentally break an arm or a leg, or something similar...
Then the gain outweighs the loss.
Seeing that the village women had fallen silent, Chen Liqing decided not to argue with them any further.
He picked up a wine jar and headed towards the backyard.
Liu Huiniang quickly got up and followed.
The two girls went to the backyard.
Not far away was Liu Xianglan's bridal chamber.
