Chapter 199: New Year, the main focus is on excitement
On the first day of the New Year, neighbors visit each other to wish each other a happy new year, and on the second day, women return to their parents' homes.
On the third and fourth days of the New Year, people visit relatives and friends, and Qijun Zhenren and his two companions also come to the courtyard to pay New Year's greetings.
The elders were talking lively. Wanyu pouted and said to Xiayu, "Brother Xiayu, can I come back and stay for a few days?"
Xia Yu shook her head: "We are just staying here as a guest."
Zhenren Qiyuan and Xia Yu said that they could not entertain guests again and again on behalf of Zhenren Decheng and Zhenren Shanzheng, as they were originally guests.
Wanyu looked at Xia Yu with some disappointment and asked, "Should I go tell Sister Lan?"
"You know everything in your heart, so why bother her?"
Wanyu looked at Xia Yu and said leisurely: "Between her and me, you still prefer her."
Xia Yu frowned in displeasure: "Wanyu, we are all brothers and sisters from the same sect. Do you really want me to judge who is better between you?"
Wanyu originally wanted to force Xia Yu to express her feelings, but her heart suddenly felt empty and she was speechless for a moment, so she could only shake her head at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu looked at her for a while and said, "We are all grown up. There are differences between men and women. We should avoid suspicion in our behavior in the future."
His eyes fell on Wanyu's hand that was pulling his sleeve, and Wanyu's hand slipped from his sleeve.
She hid her hands in her sleeves, secretly clenched her fists, and asked with a smile: "Brother Xia Yu, are we going to be strangers from now on?"
Seeing Wanyu's expression, Xia Yu finally softened her heart: "You are the sister of my uncle's family, and there is always some brother-sister affection between us."
"Xia Yu, can I only be the sister of your uncle's family?"
Xia Yu nodded affirmatively. He was not young anymore and had lived on this street for some time. He had heard some gossips from his neighbors.
"Yes." Xia Yu answered affirmatively: "Wanyu, I hope you have a better future."
“A better future?
Xia Yu, are you really ignorant? Or are you just pretending to be ignorant?
The elders of both our families have already reached a tacit understanding that we will be together in the future. ”
Xia Yu looked at her with pity in her eyes: "Wanyu, our two families have a tacit understanding of marriage, but it is not limited to you and me.
You can go back and ask your uncle. A few years ago, my parents had already made it clear to the tribe members that their children would not be candidates for marriage. ”
"This is the decision your father and mother made after I entered the sect?"
"It has nothing to do with you. My mother has always been opposed to marriage. My father has always believed in my mother's decisions when it comes to family affairs."
Wanyu looked disheartened: "Why are you telling me the truth now?"
Xia Yu sighed and said, "After you came to the sect, I have always told you and people outside that you are the sister of my uncle's family, and also my biological sister."
"You did say that, I thought this was your way of getting close to me, but it turns out you were reminding me.
I have had this beautiful dream for more than ten years, and now I have no choice but to wake up.
Xia Yu, you and Sister Lan have always had things to talk about. Did she know the truth long ago?
Has she been laughing at me? ”
"You think too much, she and I are just ordinary brothers and sisters.
Besides, do you have any jokes for her to see?
She is young and has a lot to do during the day, so she really can't take care of other people's affairs. ”
At the backyard intersection, Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at each other, then turned around and walked away quickly.
The two of them went to the front yard to meet their elders and then went out the door.
When they reached an empty area with no one in front or behind, Shi Xiaoliu said to Shi Zelan, "You can't treat her as a friend anymore."
Shi Zelan nodded: "She is so young, she is ignorant, are her elders also ignorant?"
"Sister Lan, I can understand her elders' intentions to some extent. They are using Wanyu to gamble on a childhood sweetheart marriage.
If this succeeds, it will be a win-win for both parties. If it fails, Wanyu is also an inner disciple in a large sect, and her master is still a member of the Xia family. ”
Shi Zelan glanced at Shi Xiaoliu and said, "Brother Xiaoliu, when you get married and have children in the future, don't go down this path."
“You should worry about yourself.
What will you do if Uncle Beichen and Aunt Beichen want to arrange a marriage for you after they come back? ”
“I’m easy to handle!
I was brought up by my grandfather, under the care of my great-grandmaster, Lord Phoenix, and taught by my uncles and masters.
I want to get married without any intention. My father and mother can't force me to do anything.
You are right to remind me. After I return to the sect, I will express my feelings to my grandfather, Master Fenghuang, and my uncle and master. ”
Shi Xiaoliu looked at her and felt inexplicably uncomfortable: "Sister Lan, if there is a suitable person, we can still get married."
Shi Zelan was about to answer him when she heard a child behind her shouting, "Brother Xiaoliu, Sister Xiaolan, there will be a Cuju match outside the city tomorrow, do you want to go and watch it?"
"Go ahead, and remember to call me."
Shi Zelan replied while turning around. She saw a group of young people standing not far away. She looked at Shi Xiaoliu.
"There are so many people here, why didn't you remind me?"
Shi Xiaoliu made running gestures with his fingers, and Shi Zelan finally felt relieved.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan went over to inquire about the news, and they heard that a Cuju competition would be held outside the city during the Chinese New Year every year.
It's just that no one in their street participates in the competition, so the adults don't like to talk about it.
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan made an appointment with them to go out, and they reminded them: "Remember to bring water and food.
Things in that place are expensive tomorrow, so we will walk there and back. If you find it tiring, go and rent a carriage today. ”
“We walked back and forth as well.”
When Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan returned to the yard, Master Qijun and his group had already gone back. They looked at each other and didn't dare to say much.
Shi Xiaoliu told Master Decheng about the Cuju match outside the city, and he expressed great interest in going to watch it.
After Master Shanzheng heard Shi Zelan say that he had made an appointment with the young men on the street to go with him, he smiled and said to Master Decheng, "Let's go watch the Cuju game on our own and not get involved in the affairs of these young people."
"What could happen to these kids?" Master Qiyuan's brothers and Xia Yu came to the front yard and just happened to hear Master Shanzheng's words.
Master Decheng smiled and told his brothers about the Cuju match outside the city. Master Qicheng was happy to hear it and said, "Let's go watch the Cuju match tomorrow.
I will send a message to Qijun later. He probably doesn't know that there will be such a lively event outside the city tomorrow. ”
Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu's expression and couldn't see anything wrong, so they exchanged glances.
"Xia Yu, are you going to watch the Cuju game tomorrow?"
"Go, I'll go with you."
Xia Yu quickly responded to Shi Xiaoliu and asked what he wanted to bring with him.
Shi Xiaoliu replied to him, and then Shi Zelan said to Xia Yu: "We will leave early tomorrow, do you want to wait for Wanyu to go out together?"
"No need. If she wants to go, she will go with my uncle."
