Chapter 454 Getting Married Today

Lao Hou thought he had misheard, "Big sister, what did you say?"

"I said, I'll marry you!"

"Really?" Old Hou felt like a piece of cake had fallen from the sky. "Is there such a good thing?"

"Really!" Gao Sui held his head high and chest puffed out, as if he was going to sacrifice his life on the battlefield. "I make decisions quickly, and the sooner I get married, the better!"

"Okay, okay!" Old Hou laughed excitedly, "I'll go find a matchmaker first!"

Gao Sui waved his hand, "Who needs a matchmaker? We're just living together, no need to go to such trouble, let's keep it simple!"

He must enter Heihe City as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.

"How can that be?" Old Hou said seriously, "As the saying goes, you can't chop wood without an axe, and you can't marry without a matchmaker! We must have three matchmakers and six betrothals, no one less! I can't let you down!"

Gao Sui was stunned.

Three matchmakers and six engagements?

By the time the three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts are completed, the opportunity is gone!

Gao Sui was anxious. "Brother Hou, why are you so blunt? I told you to do it as soon as possible, but you didn't understand?"

Lao Hou touched his ear and asked, "Big sister, when you say as soon as possible, how soon do you mean?"

Gao Sui pursed his lips and smiled, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. In my opinion, why not do it today?"

"Today?!" Old Hou's face flushed, and he scratched his head. "Big sister, are you so impatient?"

"I'm attracted to you, big brother!" Gao Sui imitated a woman's coquettish manner and pouted, "It seems that I'm the only one who's anxious about this matter. You're not anxious at all..."

Lao Hou quickly waved his hands, "I'm anxious too! I'm anxious too!"

"Then Brother Hou, go and get ready. It's just a matter of putting on a red veil and getting married. I'll be waiting for you!"

"Great!" Old Hou was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. "I'll go tell everyone the good news first so they can be mentally prepared!"

After saying that, he picked up the little dumpling with his mouth opened into an O shape and ran towards Heihe Village.

"Everyone! Everyone! Old Hou is getting married! I'm going to be married soon!"

Thanks to the hard work of the little kids, the whole Heihe City soon knew that Lao Hou had knocked down a young lady outside the city and they kissed by accident.

Then he got a wife for free.

The brothers in Black Eagle Village were all extremely envious.

Who would believe it? They had been bandits for so many years and had committed many burglaries, but they hadn't even robbed a single woman to get to the Black Eagle Village.

Because the boss has expressly forbidden taking women up the mountain.

They had never understood why this was the case before, but now they understand, because the boss herself is a woman.

So all the bandits in Black Eagle Village are bachelors, and Lao Hou is the first one among them to find a wife. How can people not envy him?

Amidst the congratulations, Fan Jieqiang looked up at the sky and said quietly,

"This doesn't sound right. It's strangely similar to the situation when I met Ying Yan. I'm afraid this old Hou made the same mistake as me."

Fan Changfu glanced at him and said, "Oh, that's great! You finally have some brains!"

Fan Jieqiang was stunned for a moment, "So, Dad, you know that this woman has bad intentions?"

"Of course I know!" Fan Changfu lowered his voice. "I heard that as soon as this person showed up, our clever little Jiubao saw through his identity! The Regent and the others all know about it, and now they want to see what tricks this person is up to."

"It's interesting. There are surprises every day in Heihe City!" Fan Jie Qiang rubbed his hands excitedly, looking like he couldn't wait to watch the show.

Lao Hou originally wanted to make some preparations and hold the wedding in two days, but Zhao Xingjian said that today was an auspicious day and it was just right for the wedding.

The old Hou was skeptical, "Master, are you serious? Then why isn't there anyone getting married today in this area?"

"They don't know how to choose an auspicious date." Zhao Xingjian found a red veil and a piece of red silk cloth from somewhere and stuffed them into Old Hou's hands. "Go and pick up the bride!"

"Just go like this? Isn't it too simple?"

Lao Hou was stunned. "I'm the groom, don't I even need to change clothes?"

"Hey, Old Hou, why are you dithering like a woman?" Ying Yan pushed him out, "Go and get the bride in!"

Old Hou looked at them suspiciously, feeling something was amiss. "Why are you more anxious than me, the groom?"

Ying Yan smiled and said, "We're worried that the bride might change her mind! Old Hou, think about it. What's so good about you? She said she wanted to marry you. Wasn't it just a spur of the moment decision?"

"You're right!" Old Hou immediately felt a sense of urgency. "This matter really needs to be resolved quickly!"

The enthusiastic villagers were unaware of the situation and spontaneously followed Lao Hou to welcome the bride, beating drums and gongs and laughing happily.

The "bride" was also very straightforward. She covered her head with a red veil and ran into the city with Lao Hou.

The big feet hidden in the skirt walked even faster than Lao Hou.

The worship ceremony is held in the ancestral hall of Heihe Village and is presided over by the village head.

It’s simple for Lao Hou because he doesn’t have parents.

Although the scene was simple, the villagers beat the gongs and drums so loudly that it was still very lively.

"Bow to Heaven and Earth!"

"Bow to your parents twice!"

"Husband and wife bow to each other!"

The two men bent down at the same time, and their heads bumped together, causing a burst of laughter.

At this time, someone shouted.

"The Regent is here!"

"Marquis Wuping is here!"

Then everyone said in unison: "Greetings to the Regent!"

"Meet the Marquis of Wuping!"

Gao Sui's heart instantly leaped into his throat. He hadn't expected Marquis Wuping to be in Heihe City! Even more concerning to him was the man known as the Regent. He wished he could lift the red veil from his head and see for himself who dared to impersonate the Regent!

Wu Pinghou laughed and said, "What's going on? Didn't we say we don't have to kneel down and bow? We see each other every day. How long will we have to kneel down?"

The villagers laughed and said, "We can't abandon the rules!"

Then, the man's cold yet dignified voice sounded, "Old Hou, congratulations."

Gao Sui was shocked. This voice... why did it sound so much like the Regent's voice?

This fake regent even imitated the voice so well?

Gao Sui's eyes couldn't help but turn red because of this familiar voice.

The old marquis said happily, "Thank you, Regent! Thank you, Marquis Wuping!"

The sound of steady footsteps came from afar. Gao Sui vaguely saw a tall figure walking towards him through the red veil.

"I heard that the bride's wish is to live in Heihe Village?"

Gao Sui was hesitating whether to answer.

The voice sounded again, "I wish you two a happy marriage and a son soon."

Others followed suit and shouted, "May the husband sing and the wife follow, and may a baby be born soon!"

Wu Pinghou said with a smile: "Old Marquis, bride, your wedding is officiated by the Regent! You must live a good life!"

Lao Hou laughed happily, "I will definitely treat her well! So well that she won't be able to leave me!"

Gao Sui's heart trembled, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition.

Before they knew it, they had finished worshipping heaven and earth, and the "bride" was sent to the bridal chamber.

The bridal chamber was arranged in Yingyan's courtyard, not far from the ancestral hall. Yingyan lived alone, so a lot of the house was left empty.

As soon as the people in the room left, Gao Sui immediately took off the red veil on his head and looked out the window.

Unfortunately, the Regent and his entourage had already left and nothing was seen.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door, "Madam, I'm back!"

Gao Sui: “…”

Don't come back!
