The fox man's words were so straightforward that Wei Yuan had never seen them before.
It was so direct that his train of thought was a little stuck.
Hu Mei, who was standing beside him, blushed so much that she almost burned, and her head was almost buried, but her eyebrows and eyes were naturally beautiful, which was not seen before when she was full of vigor, making people's heart flutter. Wei Yuan retracted his gaze and looked at the smiling fox man, sorting out his words and saying: "This... Thank you, elder."
"But, I'm afraid Miss Hu Mei and I are not worthy."
The fox man was surprised and said: "Oh? Why, is there any reason?"
"Could it be that you think Mei'er is too ugly to accompany you?"
How could Wei Yuan say that? He quickly denied it, glanced at Hu Mei, and tried his best not to hurt her. He said:
"Miss Hu is so beautiful, how dare I."
"It's just that we have known each other for less than half a month, and we don't know each other. Miss Hu may not have any feelings for me. In this case, Is it too hasty to talk about marriage? "
The fox man smiled and said, "It's nothing. Relationships can be cultivated slowly."
"You have plenty of time in the future."
Wei Yuan's expression froze, and he said, "This seems a bit unfair to Miss Hu."
"Parents' orders and matchmaker's words, we all came this way in the past, and there was no problem."
"I am just an ordinary human, and Miss Hu is a fox fairy, I'm afraid we are not a match."
"How can there be any status matching in matters of love?"
Wei Yuan was speechless, looking at the smiling fox youth, and felt that the other party's answer seemed too skilled. He was wearing a green-patterned robe, and the belt around his waist was made of thirty-three turns of red rope. He exuded a calm confidence and the spirit of taking him down today.
The fox youth said with a smile: "Does Young Master Wei have any other hesitations?"
Wei Yuan saw that he was determined, and that Hu Mei only lowered her head, as if she had no objection to this old custom. He could only say that feudal desires killed people, but he himself didn't know why. Hu Mei was obviously one of the most beautiful women he had ever seen since he was a child, but the deer in his heart was like a dead person and had no reaction.
The acquaintance was too short to convince the other party, and the difference between humans and foxes was also rejected.
The lifespan of Qingqiu foxes is at least several hundred years old, and the young fox in front of him is at least three hundred years old.
I don't know how many similar scenes I have faced.
Finding excuses to shirk and using words to evade, it is difficult to deal with this vixen with his own experience, and if it is delayed for too long, it may be led into the rhythm, so if you want to give a reason, it must be simple, direct, and powerful enough to prevent the Qingqiu fox tribe that follows the ancient etiquette from continuing.
Wei Yuan's thoughts gradually became clear.
Hu Yangyun looked at the young man in front of him with a smile.
Although he didn't know what was special about the other party, it seemed that the old ancestor had spoken.
Then he would use all his skills to take down this kid.
And give up resistance, and be my fox clan's son-in-law.
"Actually..."
The young man was sitting opposite and spoke in a low voice. Hu Yangyun leaned forward and pretended to listen attentively. He had already started to think about how to refute, but he saw that the young man raised his head slightly, and a pair of black pupils were filled with cyan light, like a long wind circling above the nine heavens.
There was an indescribable vicissitudes of life emanating from him.
Even the voice seemed to have a hint of heaviness, and said calmly.
"Actually, I am more than two thousand years old..."
"And Miss Hu Mei, it is really not worthy."
Hu Yangyun's expression stagnated slightly.
......
In the book collection place.
Su Yuer's fingers gently brushed over another classic book.
This book tells the story of an ancient general who encountered an evil spirit blocking his way and insisted on asking for silence. Instead, he encountered the evil spirit in the army, which ruined his Taoism. He fell asleep at night and even his soul was killed. Su Yuer was a little surprised. She gently stroked the words on the book with her fingers, frowned slightly, and finally recalled what the old fox said to the young man at that time. Her eyes widened and her lips opened and closed slightly:
"General?"
......
After a while, Hu Yangyun apologized repeatedly, with cold sweat flowing down his temples, and left with Hu Mei.
Hu Mei quietly breathed a sigh of relief, stuck out her tongue at Wei Yuan, and then saluted quietly, and then chased Hu Yangyun away. Obviously, she didn't want to be arranged to get married so soon.
Wei Yuan released the breath of the brocade bird.
The feathers on the crouching tiger waist card converged.
Wei Yuan raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect that the first time he was urged to get married was in the Fox Clan. He felt mixed emotions. He shook his head, got up and went out for some fresh air, but found the goddess who he had rarely seen in the past few days.
She was wearing a soft dark long skirt, a loose light-colored shirt, and a colorful stone bracelet from Qingqiu on her wrist. She seemed to be struggling with a problem, her brows furrowed, and then she looked at Hu Mei who was leaving with some surprise, and then looked at Wei Yuan, curiously:
"Didn't you agree to the Hu family's proposal?"
"I think Hu Mei is a good match for you in terms of personality and appearance."
Wei Yuan shook his head and sighed with a smile: "She and I are not a match."
The girl thought about it, and finally nodded, saying: "Is that so? You made the decision on this matter... But how did you convince them, Yuan? The man seemed to be the elder of the Qingqiu Fox Clan who arranged marriages. There were thirty-three red ropes around his waist, proving that he had been in this business for three hundred and thirty years. You actually convinced him."
Three hundred and thirty years? Wei Yuan complained in his heart that it was no wonder that he looked experienced, but he answered truthfully: "I just mobilized the spirit of the brocade-feathered bird and lied to him that I was actually born during the Qin and Han dynasties, more than 2,000 years ago. I am really not a good match for that girl. The Qingqiu fox tribe still follows the ancient rituals, so he had to apologize and leave."
The goddess was surprised, then thought about it and asked curiously:
"Are they really not a good match if they are more than 2,000 years apart?"
This is a very thought-provoking question. Wei Yuan thought of Hu Yue and the young man's experience, as well as the life of the person he saw in his dream before. After thinking carefully, he said: "I think this should have nothing to do with age."
"If it is sincere, then everything else is not the key."
"And if it is false, then even if all other external conditions match, it will most likely lead to bad consequences in the end, hurting others and yourself."
The goddess seemed to be thinking about something.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, Wei Yuan made small talk: "Speaking of which, I saw you frowning just now, what were you thinking about?"
The girl nodded and said frankly: "One of my elders said something strange to me, and I have never figured it out."
"I have been thinking about it just now."
Wei Yuan said: "What did she say?"
The girl put one hand on her chin and frowned: "The senior said that the tea was cold and needed to be heated, and she smiled a little strangely. I didn't have the nerve to say that I didn't understand, so I had to answer her reluctantly and deal with it. Now I think there is still something wrong."
Wei Yuan asked curiously: "What did you answer her?"
The goddess said: "I can only say um first, and then Listen carefully to the senior's advice and say yes. "
"Finally, thank him according to etiquette."
"Yuan, my response should be correct, right?"
Wei Yuan reviewed the description of the goddess in his mind, but did not gain anything, so he answered confidently: "The senior should just be telling you about drinking tea. As long as you maintain etiquette and don't be rude, there should be no problem."
The goddess nodded, as if she had finally let go of the matter and no longer felt depressed. She thought of something else, looked at Wei Yuan, and smiled:
"By the way, Yuan, come with me."
"I came to find you because the senior said he wanted to see you."
......
The goddess led the way in front and took Wei Yuan to a hidden place.
He had also tried to travel around Qingqiu during these days, but he had never set foot in this area. The Qingqiu citizens who had come and gone before also tacitly avoided this part of their lives, but Wei Yuan was not unfamiliar with this place. When he first entered a dream with Lei, he had seen many extremely ancient dreams.
This place was one of them.
Its antiquity and heaviness gave Wei Yuan a feeling that was even comparable to Kunlun in Jue's dream.
In reality, this was just an ordinary house with no abnormalities. If it was placed in other places, it would be almost impossible to distinguish it from the residence of an ordinary Qingqiu fox at first glance. The goddess knocked on the door, whispered a word, and pushed the door open. Wei Yuan followed behind and walked inside. There was not much decoration in the courtyard. It looked simple and plain. There was a stone table, rattan chair, fragrant tea, and a white-haired woman lying on the rattan chair.
She was very old, with wrinkles at the corners of her eyes and on her face.
But there is no doubt that when she was young, she must have been a rare beauty, with a graceful and elegant demeanor.
She smiled at the goddess and said, "Thank you, Jue'er."
"This must be the crouching tiger of this generation."
Wei Yuan stepped forward to greet him.
The woman looked Wei Yuan up and down, and said with a smile, "I originally wanted to match you with the little guy from the Hu family, but I didn't expect you to play a little trick and deceive Yang Yun. It's rare."
Wei Yuan didn't know how to answer, so he had to clasp his fists and bow again. The woman poured two cups of tea, looked at the goddess again, and smiled:
"Jue'er, I want to talk to the crouching tiger alone."
The goddess nodded, then got up and left.
Only the white-haired woman and Wei Yuan were left in the room, which made him feel a little uncomfortable. The woman raised her hand and said with a smile:
"Let's have some tea."
Wei Yuan nodded, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and felt the fragrance of tea, and relaxed his mind. The white-haired woman smiled at the young Sili Xiaowei and suddenly sighed:
"Really, it's been a long time since we last met."
