Chapter 1372 Three clans fight for the front

When Pei Ji came over, he thought Chu Huan had something important to discuss. When he arrived at the hall, Chu Huan had already asked Pei Ji to sit down with a smile. Pei Ji asked, "Second brother, tomorrow will be a wedding, but what else can I imagine? At this moment, the girls have to think about everything carefully. Now the three girls are already considered the adopted daughters of several major families. These are all shameless people. It doesn't matter if we are careless, but don't let others pick out the etiquette because of our negligence."

Seeing that the wedding was approaching, Master Li was unable to arrive before the wedding. Pei Ji, as Chu Huan's sworn brother, naturally took some things to take charge.

Chu Huan smiled, patted the box on the table, and smiled and said, "Brother, this is a gift for you."

Pei Ji was stunned and smiled and said, "It was your wedding, not my wedding. Moreover, I, a pauper, can't bring any generous gifts. Why did you give me the gifts in reverse?"

"You open it first!" Chu Huan said with a smile.

Pei Ji saw Chu Huan laughing strangely, and he opened the wooden box with a jade box inside. He looked up at Chu Huan, and Chu Huan pointed to the jade box and said, "Open it again!"

Pei Ji was curious, took out the jade box, put it in the palm of his hand, opened it and took a look, and immediately said, "This is... Tianshan Snow Lotus!" He was very knowledgeable, so he naturally recognized the snow lotus at a glance.

"That's it." Chu Huan laughed and said, "This is the Tianshan Snow Lotus that is hard to find in the world. Brother, now this Snow Lotus is yours."

Pei Ji closed the jade box, put it in the wooden box, frowned and said, "Second brother, what are you going to do? Do you know the value of Tianshan Snow Lotus?"

Chu Huan laughed and said, "Does the gifts given by brothers still have to be valued?"

"You know I didn't mean that." Pei Ji's eyes still showed a hint of shock. "Second brother, Tianshan Snow Lotus, as you said, is rare in the world. This is a strange thing born on the top of Tianshan Mountain. How many people can't get it? Even if they hold a thousand gold coins, there is no place to buy it." After a pause, he said solemnly: "How do you have such a thing?"

Chu Huan sighed: "It was a generous gift from an old friend. The gift is here, but there is no trace of people."

"This person is really amazing." Pei Ji nodded, but did not ask much, but said, "Since it is a gift from a friend, you should save it well. If you don't understand the function of this snow lotus, you can search through medical skills. In the last chapter of the previous dynasty's "Jinluo Medicine" there is a special introduction to the Tianshan snow lotus..."

"No need to see it." Chu Huan smiled and said, "The thing belongs to my elder brother, so I know how to use it."

Pei Ji was originally a straightforward person, but at this moment he still shook his head, "This thing is for brother, and it cannot be accepted. Second brother, if you practice martial arts, if you have the help of this snow lotus, you will definitely go further to the martial arts. Even if you don't use it to practice martial arts, you may be able to use it one day."

Chu Huan put away his smile and said seriously: "Brother, your leg fatigue is not due to the bones, but because of the meridians. One of the biggest functions of this snow lotus is to restore the vitality of the meridians and make the dead trees in the meridians spring. I thought, if you take this snow lotus, your leg fatigue will be cured."

Pei Ji shook his head and smiled bitterly: "This is a stubborn disease and cannot be cured. Such a valuable thing is really a waste of resources when used on one leg...!" After a pause, he said: "I am an old friend of the medical saint Zhang Yiyang. You have seen his medical skills. Even his ability is helpless and will not change it just because of a snow lotus."

Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The doctor's saint's wonderful hands are rejuvenated, but as the saying goes, it is hard to cook without rice. If there is no real medicine, some diseases will not be cured. This Tianshan Snow Lotus is a strange thing to treat meridians. As long as the doctor's saint finds the doctor's saint, with the snow lotus, he can naturally cure his elder brother's leg disease."

Pei Ji shook his head and said, "I am used to this, and I don't need Xuelian. Second brother, put away the Xuelian, so there is no need to mention this matter!"

"Since that's the case..." Chu Huan took the jade box and walked to the side of the stove, looked at Pei Ji, and said, "To me, the big brother's leg is more important than anything else. If the snow lotus is not needed on the big brother's leg, it will be worthless. It's better to throw it into the fire and burn it with a fire!"

Pei Ji smiled bitterly and said, "Second brother, why do you... why do you do this? This snow lotus is so precious. Even if I really accept it, it may not be useful and wasteful!"

"Try it, it's better than not." Chu Huan said, "Brother, you should know my character. I do what I say." Put the jade box on the stove, and as soon as you let go, it will fall into the stove.

Pei Ji sighed and said, "Since that's the case, you can keep it first and wait for me to see how you should use this snow lotus."

When Chu Huan heard Pei Ji's agreement, he laughed and walked over, stuffed the jade box into Pei Ji's hand, and said with a smile: "It's your thing, I won't keep it. You said, Tianshan Snow Lotus is extremely precious, I'm afraid that I can't even sleep well with it."

"You can't sleep well, give me the snow lotus, in my hands, can I sleep well again?" Pei Ji shook his head, but there was a look of gratitude deep in his eyes.

"You are the eldest brother, so you will be more responsible for these things."

...

...

In a blink of an eye, all restaurants in Shuoquan City, which were slightly higher than the level, were already included. This was of course a big deal from the Su Qian and Hong family.

Mr. Su was the first to contact the Ministry of Rites and decided early on that Linlang would go out from the Su Mansion. According to the customs of the northwest, when his daughter got married, the woman would invite relatives and friends to attend the banquet. After the banquet, under the attention of relatives and friends, the bride would board the sedan chair sent by the man and return to the man's house. The man would hold a grand dinner in the evening.

For the female family, this noon banquet is naturally very important.

The Su family is still the largest family in Xiguan Road. For Mr. Su, Linlang was originally the daughter of the Su family. When the Su family was in trouble, Linlang took in the Su family's elders and young people and served the Su family to make a comeback. It was precisely because of Chu Huan's help that his daughter is going to marry the governor of Xiguan Road. In any aspect, it is a rare event in the Su family in ten years. So after the wedding date was determined, Mr. Su immediately included all the four largest restaurants in Shuoquan City. Not only that, many restaurants with a lower level were also decided by Mr. Su.

When the Qian family and Hong family recognized their adopted daughter and were happily preparing for the marriage, they suddenly found that they were going to book a restaurant, but the restaurant was already occupied by the Su family.

To the outside, the seven surnames of Xiguan are one and the gentry of Xiguan, but internally, each major family has its own face. Qian Boyi, the head of the Qian family, and Hong Shengtao, the head of the Hong family, arrived at the Su Mansion together without saying a word. At the beginning, they were still talking and laughing, hoping that the old man would recognize the two restaurants. Old Master Su pretended to be deaf and mute, and talked for a long time without any sign of letting go.

Hong Shengtao was impatient and got angry on the spot, claiming that if the old man refused to leave the restaurant, he would send someone to each of the four restaurants to set a fire. If the restaurant was burned, no one would take the turn.

The old man was still pretending to be deaf and dumb. In the end, Qian Boyi persuaded him repeatedly and persuaded Hong Shengtao to say countless good things together, which made the old man feel relieved.

But then the three of them started arguing about the road again.

The three houses are not together and are scattered in the city. In comparison, the Qian family where Lin Daier lives is closest to the Governor's Mansion, followed by the old man's Su family's mansion and the Hong family is farthest.

However, all three families are in the east of Shuoquan, so when they finally go to the Governor's Office, they will walk on the same street, which is Mingquan Street, Shuoquan. After analyzing slowly, the old man suggested that the restaurant could be made, but in order to avoid competing for the time, we should distinguish between the time and come first and then arrive.

Hong Shengtao was the farthest away. The old man agreed immediately after saying this, but after a few words, he turned against each other again. According to the old man's wishes, Chu Huan and Linlang had already decided to live for a lifetime, so the first person to go to the Governor's Mansion should of course be Linlang, so the other two families must pass through Linlang's bride-sending team before entering Mingquan Street.

Hong Shengtao naturally couldn't agree. Su Niang was Chu Huan's official side and wanted to carry the sedan chair eight. He claimed that he had never seen the sedan chair eight to make way for the sedan chair six to carry the sedan chair.

Although Qian Boyi's tone was gentle, he insisted. Although Linlang and Chu Huan had already agreed to live for life and Su Niang was the real wife, Lin Daier had already given birth to a child for Chu Huan. Of course, this was the first time Lin Daier's bride-sending team entered Mingquan Street.

The three heads of the family refused to give in, but later they simply parted in disagreement.

When Qian Hong and the others left, the old man immediately summoned the tribe members to prepare them, fearing that there would be a dispute when they were sent off for the bride.

On the wedding day, the old man was still reasonable and gave up two big restaurants. Qian Hong's family was one of them, and Su's family occupied two families. All the big families were not allowed to invite all relatives and friends.

However, some situations made the gentry near Shuoquan very embarrassed.

The three families of Su Qian and Hong were all wealthy families in Xiguan. The gentry of Xiguan was well-off with these three families. The three families gathered together and held banquets at the same time. They went to this family, offended that family, went to that family, and offended this family. There was no way. Many gentry could only send one person to each family, but the heads of each gentry were sick and could not attend. Otherwise, even if there was no family to send people, if they lived there, they would still be unclear.

Therefore, on the day of Chu Huan's wedding, many families in Shuoquan City fell ill at the same time.

Of course, the other end of the Governor's Mansion was also prepared early and sent three bride-welcoming teams. Qiu Ruxue led a team to marry Linlang, Qi Hong led a team to marry Su Niang, and Sun Zikong led the bride-welcoming team to Qian'er and married Lin Daier.

Chu Huan was simple together and didn't want to make too much trouble, but the meaning of the Governor's Mansion did not equal the meaning of the three major families. Although the wedding team sent was not large, the various governments had prepared a huge bride-seeking team. For the three major leaders, the banquet in the restaurant was no longer the focus, the key was whose sedan chair was the first to enter the Governor's Mansion.

According to the customs of the northwest, no matter whether the bride is a lady from a family or a jassic family, even the daughter of an ordinary person must pass noon and enter the end of the house before leaving.

Therefore, relatives and friends must end the banquet before the end of the day, gather in the mansion, and go out immediately as soon as the end of the day arrives.

The head of the Su family's bride-sending team is Su Zhongyan, who received the instructions of Mr. Su. Before the end of the hour, regardless of whether the banquet ended or not, the guests attending the Su family's banquet must gather outside the Su Mansion before the end of the hour, and the sedan chair is parked outside the main gate. Before the end of the hour, they must carry Linlang to the front of the mansion and step on the point. As soon as the last hour arrives, they will get on the sedan chair immediately, and then run as fast as possible, and must enter Mingquan Road before the other two families.

He was not worried about the Hong family. The Hong family was farther away. Even if he ran, it would be faster than his own. The Qian Mansion was closest, but the distance was not too far. As long as the foot strength was faster here, he might not be able to enter Mingquan Road before the Qian family. In advance, the old man even personally told Linlang that when he was sending the bride, he might have to suffer some bumps because he wanted to grab the speed, so that Linlang would have to be wronged and patient no matter what.

Linlang was so amused and crying, but he knew in his heart that the old man was also fighting for face for the family. As the head of the Su family, the old man valued the face and reputation of the Su family very much. He knew the old man’s thoughts and could only follow it.

The bride-welcoming team actually arrived at the Su Mansion early. The old man invited Qiu Ruxue to come over. He could not afford to send a red envelope to each of the bride-welcoming people. He held Qiu Ruxue's hand and asked if there were any martial arts masters in the bride-welcoming team who were extremely fast. If possible, if they were replaced by this group of people, Qiu Ruxue didn't understand the meaning. After the old man explained, he suddenly realized and laughed, saying that if he had known this, he would have specially invited some friends from the martial arts world to help. However, he told the old man that these guards were brothers, who had been trained and had fast feet, so he went over to pick them.

The banquets of several major families were held early, and the guests were drinking and chatting in the restaurant. At this time, the various governments were dressing up for the bride.

There is still some time before she left home. Linlang's close-fitting girl Cuiping held up a bun for Linlang. Seeing her beautiful appearance in the mirror, Cuiping was also quite excited and said softly: "Miss, it's a pity that you can't lift the red veil when you are in the house, otherwise Mrs. Su Niang and Miss Lin will definitely not be as good as you."

"Don't talk nonsense." Linlang's cheeks were flushed and she was so beautiful. It was her wish that she had always wanted to marry Chu Huan when she went out to marry her. She didn't care about everything. As long as she could become Chu Huan's wife, everything would be enough.

Cuiping carefully raised her hair for Linlang, and suddenly sighed. Linlang asked strangely, "Little girl, what's wrong? Are you worried?"

"Miss, Cuiping is talking nonsense, don't blame me." Cuiping said softly: "You said that Mrs. Su Niang will be the main wife in the future, so how can she manage the people in the family? She doesn't even know a few big words, if...!"

"Cuiping, stop!" Before Cuiping finished speaking, Linlang had already frowned, "You should slap your mouth."

Cuiping stuck out her tongue and dared not say much.

"You are my dowry girl. After entering the Chu family, you will represent me in the future. Your words and deeds are not yourself, but me, and the Su family." Linlang reminded softly: "Remember, when you enter the Chu family, you must be respectful to Mrs. Su Niang. Although she has not studied, she is a good person. When Chu Lang left home, she and her mother-in-law depended on each other for life, and she was very good to Chu Lang, which is enough. In the future, not only can you not talk about the right and wrong of Mrs. Su Niang, but you also help Mrs. Su Niang maintain peace in the mansion. You can't let Chu Lang be upset about trivial matters at home. Do you hear it?"

Cuiping knew that although Linlang looked gentle, she was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. She said something without being angry and powerful on her own. She knew that she had lost her words, so she hurriedly agreed.
