"Ah Chen, really, we're scared of you, okay? We really can't take this anymore."
"Yeah, Ah Chen, if you don't like Yang Ahu, just say the word, and we'll all beat him up. Don't let the Holy Maiden down."
The expressions of the jackals varied, but they all said the same thing: they couldn't let Ah Chen whisper in his ear.
Ah Chen chuckled inwardly, but his face showed a blank expression as he looked at them and said, "My little wife is quite nice."
"Ah Chen, you're messing with us again! We wouldn't dare say anything bad about the Holy Maiden, it's—"
"I know, don't explain! But I still think my wife is quite gentle, not as exaggerated as you all imagine."
Forehead--
This matter cannot be discussed any further.
Yang Ahu's facial muscles twitched.
Everyone could see that Ah Chen was truly at his wit's end.
After a moment, Ah Chen asked, "Ah Xiong is going to the girl's house to pick her up today, aren't you going?"
Ah Hu, Ah Shi, and Ah Yong said they would go shortly.
As for Ah Bao and Ah Kang, they will stay with Ah Chen.
“Ah Chen, as you know, each of our twelve branches has many sub-branches. Ah Xiong, in his branch of the Long Skirt Miao, has a set time to go to the girl’s house to pick her up.”
"That's right, Ah Chen. Ah Xiong's bride's family set off for Ah Xiong's house at the hour of Wei (1-3 AM), which is between 1 AM and 3 AM! The bride's family is considered to be getting married at night."
Ah Chen nodded and asked, "I know about the night wedding, but when will I arrive at Ah Xiong's house? There must be a fixed time for that, since every family has a different auspicious time."
“I asked, and they said I can only enter Ah Xiong’s house around noon, which is between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
"Then you who are going to fetch the bride can go first. I will go directly to the Long Skirt Miao area to meet up with you tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, the jackals exchanged bewildered glances.
A-Yong asked, "A-Chen, do you mean you're going to greet A-Xiong at the entrance of his village?"
Is there a problem?
"No, Ah Chen, you can't do this!" Ah Kang hurriedly said.
Ah Shi quickly added, "That won't do, Ah Chen."
"Achen, no matter what, you are the future Miao King. If you were to hold your wedding ceremony at the entrance of Axiong's village, would the Long Skirt Miao branch village be able to accept it?"
Forehead--
All the major wolves opposed it!
Ah Chen was speechless.
Tang Abao also said to Achen, "You really can't come to the wedding like this. Although Axiong is one of the eight wolves, according to custom, only one of the nine clan elders is present to preside. You can just go and have some fun. You must not raise the level of this custom, otherwise the ancestors will blame the Long Skirt Miao branch."
“Yes, Ah Chen, your presence at Ah Xiong’s wedding at this time is the greatest recognition for their branch of the family. This makes them happier than anything else.”
No matter how much the eight jackals fight, they always know their limits.
When it comes to important matters concerning the Miao people, they must prioritize the overall situation.
"Alright!"
call---
Ah Chen nodded in agreement, and Yang Ah Hu and Ah Yong both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Half an hour later--
When only Ah Chen, Tang Abao, Zhao Akang, and Shen Weixun remained by the lake, Ah Chen's gaze finally fell on Shen Weixun.
Having learned of Achen's identity within the Miao family, Shen Weixun felt extremely uneasy.
At that moment, she didn't know how to express her respect for the future Miao king.
Ah Chen gestured for Shen Weixun not to be reserved, then asked Ah Kang, "You've been to the girl's house, right? How did it go? Did she agree to it?"
“I didn’t object! But according to custom, we still have to ask a matchmaker to go. I went there the day before yesterday and found out that Ah Xun’s grandmother and mother were both aunts who married out from a branch of the Shangyinjiao Miao lineage in Tianfeng County.”
A-Kang quickly explained to A-Chen: "A-Xun's grandmother had Miao ethnicity, but she had no children after marrying out! A-Xun's ethnicity is Miao, and she came with her mother when registering her household."
"Was Miss Shen's grandmother married into a Han family?"
"yes."
Ah Chen nodded. Miss Shen's grandmother must be around sixty years old.
In this era, Miao girls rarely marry outside their hometowns.
Sixty years ago, few Miao girls married outside the Miao community.
But whatever the reason, Mu Achen would not pry into it, after all, girls who marry out of the country all have their own reasons.
As long as they are happy, that's the most important thing.
"Brother Kang, I won't interfere in your affairs with Miss Shen, but I still hope you two can get married soon. After all, you're not young anymore. Don't keep putting it off, or something might go wrong."
A-Kang nodded.
Although Chen Weixun was shy, she quickly said, "Thank you..."
"Just like Ah Kang, call me Ah Chen."
"Thank you, Ah Chen. We will stay together."
"Tell me if you encounter any difficulties."
When the difficulties were mentioned, Shen Weixun and A Kang's expressions clearly showed a reaction.
When Ah Chen asked what was wrong, Ah Kang shook his head. Shen Weixun not only didn't say anything, but also said that nothing was wrong.
But Tang Abao, who was standing next to him, said, "Akang, just say what's on your mind. Don't act like you can solve everything."
"this--"
A-Kang didn't want to trouble A-Chen.
Shen Weixun shook his head again.
Ah Chen laughed, "Don't think I can't guess just because you didn't tell me! Miss Chen's job must be in trouble, right?"
"ah?"
"Ah Chen, how did you know?"
"I didn't know before, but your reactions now tell me, don't they?"
