Chapter 26: Contest for Marriage



Ye Xinran felt his gaze and coughed lightly. Looking at the dishes on the table, she suddenly felt like she was being caught!

She stood up uncomfortably and asked, "Do you want to eat together?"

Gu Yanming didn't hesitate and walked over and sat down in the place vacated by Qiangqi.

Qiangqi and Jihua called the two soldiers to another table and asked the waiter to serve another table of dishes.

"I, I was thinking of going out for a walk with my dad later, so I'm going to eat here!" Ye Xinran said a little guilty, thinking, I'm not eating alone!

"Yeah!" Gu Yanming had a blank expression on his face, but he was a little happy in his heart. He really liked seeing his young wife's embarrassment. She was less calm and composed as usual, and had a little more of the cuteness of a little girl.

Just, very cute...

"Hey, have you heard? Miss Zhu is holding a competition to find a husband!" suddenly a guest whispered.

"Hey, aren't you just afraid of being kidnapped by the bad guys?" said someone at the same table.

Ye Xinran turned around and saw two fat men gossiping. The voices were not loud, but the martial arts masters had good hearing and could hear clearly.

"If I were a bad guy, I wouldn't tie her up!"

"Yeah, not only does he have a bad temper, but he's also ugly! Oh!"

"Yes, I think she is just doing it for no reason!"

"That's not necessarily true. I heard that all those lost were virgins!" One of the men laughed with a lewd look on his face.

"Haha, the chance of her being kidnapped is still very high!" said another.

"I don't know what Mr. Hua likes about her? He must marry her!"

"Everyone has their own preferences!"

"Oh! She's not a carrot, not a vegetable, she's almost a pig!"

The two of them smiled obscenely!

Ye Xinran's eyes flashed coldly, she hated the two people talking about a woman behind her back. She raised her finger slightly, and a chopstick flew out, hitting the soup on the table of the two people directly, splashing the soup all over their faces.

"Who?" One of the men slammed the table and stood up. He looked around and saw that there were only three tables of guests. Apart from them, there were only two tables including Ye Xinran's.

Another man also stood up, and his eyes lit up when he saw the halberd painting. He said to the person next to him.

"And there's a pretty little girl who dares to go out. You can tell she's from out of town!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he discovered that there was an officer in uniform sitting next to the little girl, staring at them.

The two were startled and immediately wilted. They sat back quietly and didn't dare to talk nonsense.

This little episode did not affect the meal. After the meal, Gu Yanming asked Ye Xinran.

"Go shopping with your father-in-law later?"

Ye Xinran nodded.

Gu Yanming pursed his lips and nodded. Ye Xinran was tall to begin with, and now she was wearing men's clothing and had her face made up, making her look like a teenager of sixteen or seventeen. Her movements and gestures were not like those of a girl, so he felt much more at ease.

"be safe!"

After he finished speaking, he took the two soldiers back.

Ye Xinran felt puzzled. This person came in a hurry, ate a meal, and left in a hurry. His words were also strange.

She didn't think much about it, called Ye Liang and Qiangqi and went out.

The three of them walked and looked along the way.

Ye Xinran bought a lot of steamed buns, snacks, dried meat, and eggs. As the weather turned cold, she also bought some warm clothes, shoes, and hats for everyone.

When the three of them were full of things, Ye Xinran hired a carriage and asked Ye Liang and Qiangqi to take the things back first. She wanted to go shopping.

Ye Liang disagreed. He had also heard about the recent incident of a girl being lost.

"Dad, look at me like this, how can I look like a girl?" Ye Xinran smiled. "Don't worry! I have martial arts skills! And they are very advanced!"

Ye Liang still disagreed, and Ye Xinran rolled his eyes and said.

"Hey, but there are only my mother and Jihua in the inn. My mother looks to be in her twenties and is pretty. Not to mention Jihua! Oh! It's really worrying!"

Ye Liang thought, that's right, his wife gave birth to a daughter at the age of sixteen. She is only thirty now, but she looks like she is in her early twenties. Ji Hua is even more beautiful. This is in another place, if something happens...

Ye Liang didn't dare to think too much, but he was worried about his daughter.

"Master, how about I go with the princess?" said Qiangqi.

Ye Liang nodded, "Yes, you stay! Protect the princess! I'll go back first!"

Gunqi nodded seriously.

"Don't worry! I'm here to protect the princess!"

Only then did Ye Liang follow the carriage.

When the carriage was far away, Ye Xinran said, "Qianqi, go and protect the master and his wife."

Gun chess is a bit difficult.

"I promised the Master..."

Ye Xinran looked at him indifferently without saying anything.

Qiangqi instantly broke out in a cold sweat, put away his lazy look, bowed respectfully and clasped his fists.

"Yes, Princess!" After saying this, the person disappeared.

Ye Xinran did not stop and went straight to the marriage competition site that she had just passed by.

If she was not mistaken, the two people in the inn at that time said that on purpose, probably because they wanted them to go to the competition site for the bride.

Then she would go and see what the purpose of the person behind this was.

After turning a few corners, we saw a large venue with a platform on top. The platform was full of people. However, there was only one burly man on the platform, with a helpless look on his face. There was also a servant next to him who asked the people below the platform.

"Who wants to come up and compete with our Zhu Mansion's martial arts coach?"

Everyone in the audience was pointing and talking, but no one came on stage.

Ye Xinran was curious. The martial arts instructor didn't seem to be very good at martial arts. Why didn't anyone come on stage? She looked behind the stage.

There was an octagonal table at the back of the stage. On the left side of the table sat a burly middle-aged man, and on the right side sat a girl in red, who looked ordinary and a little fat.

Ye Xinran curiously asked an old man next to her.

"Uncle, the one wearing red on the high platform is Miss Zhu?"

The old man knew Ye Xinran was from another place as soon as he saw him. Seeing that Ye Xinran was good-looking and kind, he was happy to talk to him.

"Yes, that's Miss Zhu, Zhu Qian!"

After saying that, he sighed and said, "She's actually a very nice girl, but she's not pretty. But can being pretty be used to make a living?"

"That's right! Good looks are not as good as substance!" Ye Xinran nodded repeatedly, and then asked curiously. "So no one is willing to go up? I think the Zhu family should be quite rich!"

"The Zhu family is the richest here! Even in the entire Liang Dynasty, their wealth can be ranked in the top ten!" said the old man, "It's not that no one has come up, but they are all ugly!"

Ye Xinran also sighed along with the old man.

"Hey, actually, Mr. Hua is quite nice, and he is deeply in love with Miss Zhu! I don't know why, but Miss Zhu just doesn't like him."

Just as Ye Xinran was about to ask who Young Master Hua was, she heard people whispering.

"Look, Master Hua is here!"

Ye Xinran looked over and saw a fairy-like handsome man in white clothes strolling up to the platform.

Zhu Qian frowned, and the cold light in her eyes disappeared in an instant, which was caught by Ye Xinran.

It seems that Zhu Qian really doesn't like this fairy-like Mr. Hua! Ye Xinran raised her eyebrows. It just so happened that she didn't like him either.
