Several big men said they were about to come forward to pull Liu Qinghuan, but Aunt Hu quickly stood in front of Liu Qinghuan and looked at them in horror: "My daughter is injured, what are you doing!"
"Are you hurt?" The leader looked at Liu Qinghuan again after hearing the words, and seeing that her face was indeed pale, he stopped the big men and said, "Be careful, don't hurt Miss Hu."
"Yes!" The strong men made a gesture of invitation to Liu Qinghuan, signaling her to go by herself. Liu Qinghuan glanced at Aunt Hu and walked out obediently. Aunt Hu moved a bit, and the leader stood in front of her, smiling and said: "We are here today to discuss a happy event with you."
After hearing so much, Liu Qinghuan was invited into a bullock cart, sat on it and waited for a while, before the leader walked out of the house slowly. When the ox cart driver saw him coming out, he drove the cart forward. Liu Qinghuan glanced back at the yard of Aunt Hu's house, and asked the leader, "What are you trying to do by arresting me?"
The man hooked the corners of his mouth and said to her: "Miss Hu, don't panic, we are here to pick you up to get married."
"Marriage?" Liu Qinghuan was stunned for a moment before he could smile, "Shouldn't you follow the rules and ask for your name first, why are you in such a hurry?"
The man said: "It's really urgent, but girl, don't worry, the groom is the second son of Ma County Magistrate, so your dowry will not be small, your parents also agreed to this marriage just now."
"Oh." Liu Qinghuan nodded with a light smile and didn't speak any more. The man was afraid that she would be conflicted, so he persuaded her: "Miss Hu married into the Ma family, but she flew on a branch and turned into a phoenix, and she will spend the rest of her life in gold and silver, without worrying about food and clothing."
Liu Qinghuan sighed in his heart, thinking clearly about the ins and outs of this matter.
When she woke up, she heard the couple of the Hu family discussing about replacing their daughter with her, but she listened to it for a long time, and the two of them didn't mention what it was. Now it seems that it should be this marriage .
In order to make her admit that they are Hu Lingshan, the two couples joined forces with two yamen servants to act out a scene in which a murderer escaped in Chang'an. Originally, this scene was pretty good, but unfortunately, in the eyes of her, the greatest liar in Chang'an, there were still many flaws.
But those two yamen servants should be real, they probably work in the neighborhood of the yamen, and they have a good relationship with the Hu family couple. They should have secretly told the Hu family that the young master of Ma County Magistrate’s family wanted to marry the Hu family’s daughter—judging from today’s situation, Ma County Magistrate hadn’t come to propose a marriage beforehand, and now he came to forcefully take her away. Probably because he didn't want to startle the snake and give Hu Lingshan a chance to run away.
However, one party does not hesitate to marry a commoner girl to beg for a wife for his son, and the other party does not want to marry his daughter to the Ma family. It seems that the second son of the Ma family...must have a flaw in his body and character.
But there is still one thing she can't figure out. The Hu family's family is poor. Judging by Aunt Hu's appearance, Hu Lingshan is probably not a beautiful woman. Why does the Ma family insist on marrying her daughter
She curled her lips, if she can't figure it out, she can't figure it out, it's none of her business anyway. The reason why she knew that the Hu family couple had no good intentions or exposed them was just to repay their life-saving grace. They saved their own life, and now they have saved their daughter, so they can be considered clean.
In order to let them lie to herself boldly, she also thoughtfully made up a miserable life experience, just to let them know that she was helpless and desperate, even if she died silently, no one would come to seek revenge from them .
She was moved by her kindness, and she turned out to be a liar with grace.
Now the remaining problem is to escape marriage. She is good at this, even the Hou Mansion can escape, let alone a small Ma family.
Just thinking of this, he coughed violently again. The leader heard the voice and turned to look at her: "Miss Hu, are you okay?"
Liu Qinghuan shook her head, put down her right hand covering her mouth: "It's okay."
The man turned his head, Liu Qinghuan opened his tightly held palms to look, and coughed up some blood. She pursed her lips and didn't speak any more along the way.
The ox cart walked all the way to Ma County Magistrate's house, but he entered the house through the back door. Liu Qinghuan raised her eyebrows and said nothing, the leader stopped the ox cart, walked over and said to Liu Qinghuan: "Miss Hu, wait a moment, wait for someone to go in and let me know."
Ma County Magistrate Ben leaned on the bed and was lost in thought. When he saw a man coming in, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Has anyone picked him up?"
The man nodded and said, "Here, I'm waiting in the courtyard."
Magistrate Ma rolled his eyes and confirmed, "Are you sure it's Hu Lingshan?"
"She admitted it herself."
"That's good, that's good." County Magistrate Ma walked back to the table and said to the man, "Let her come to see me in the study."
"Yes." After the man stepped back, he went directly to the courtyard to invite Liu Qinghuan, "Miss Hu, Magistrate Ma invites you to go in."
Liu Qinghuan blinked, got off the bullock cart, and followed him into the study.
Subconsciously looking around the study room, Liu Qinghuan looked in surprise at the pair of "Blue Water Lilies·Xia" hanging in the middle.
While Liu Qinghuan was in a daze, Magistrate Ma was also looking at her. He thought that Hu Lingshan, who was born in a peasant family, must be rough-skinned, but he didn't expect that she was such a beautiful girl, and his son would definitely like it.
"You are Hu Lingshan?"
Ma County Magistrate's voice brought back Liu Qinghuan's mind. She looked at the middle-aged man opposite and said with a smile, "The little girl is Hu Lingshan."
Magistrate Ma nodded in satisfaction, and his voice was more tactful than Huang Ying's: "Tonight is your and my son's wedding day, and I will ask the servant girl to help you dress up."
The corner of Liu Qinghuan's mouth twitched, tonight? How anxious is the second son of the Ma family...
She glanced at Magistrate Ma, with a dissatisfied expression on her face: "Magistrate Ma, although Lingshan is just a grassroots person, marriage matters should not be so hasty."
"Is it sloppy?" Magistrate Ma looked at her with wide eyes. "The dowry officer has already sent someone to Hu's house, and I have also asked someone to calculate the date. Today is an auspicious day."
Liu Qinghuan frowned, it was another auspicious day.
"You and my son's horoscope are a match made in heaven."
Liu Qinghuan's eyes flickered: "Maxian Magistrate knows Lingshan's horoscope?"
"Cough cough." Magistrate Ma coughed twice artificially, but did not speak. Liu Qinghuan probably guessed the reason why they must marry Hu Lingshan, she glanced at the painting on the wall, and said to Magistrate Ma: "Magistrate Ma, this painting on the wall is so beautiful, I wonder which master it is from?" hand?"
County magistrate Ma followed her gaze and saw that she was referring to the pair of "Blue Water Lily Summer", and said, "Didn't it say Ding Maoxue?"
Liu Qinghuan said with a gloomy expression, "My little girl can't read."
Ma County Magistrate's mouth twitched. There are thousands of talented girls in Dacheng, and he will find an illiterate one for his son... Forget it, since she looks so good-looking, his son probably won't mind.
Liu Qinghuan saw him showing a look of disgust, and said again: "Although my daughter is illiterate, she has been interested in paintings since she was a child. The lotus in this painting is so lifelike, it must be very valuable, right?"
"Of course, this is inherited from our family." In fact, he bought it from a down-and-out scholar for ten renminbi. Seeing Liu Qinghuan staring at the painting, he seemed to like it very much. He rolled his eyes and took the painting off the wall: "I will give this painting to you as a gift for your new daughter-in-law."
Liu Qinghuan looked at him in surprise: "Really?"
"Of course it's true. Could it be that I, a county magistrate, still lie to you?"
Liu Qinghuan was very grateful: "Thank you County Magistrate Ma!"
Magistrate Ma was very satisfied with her reaction: "You marry into my Ma family, and I will not treat you badly. Well, let's go down with the servant girl to get dressed first, and don't miss the auspicious time."
"I'm going to dress up right now." Liu Qinghuan happily followed the maid with the painting in her hand. Ma County magistrate was very proud to see her happy look. Ten Wenqian's paintings made her docile, and the daughter raised by a small family really didn't know much.
After the maids dressed up Liu Qinghuan, they waited outside the door for the auspicious time. Liu Qinghuan took out the painting and poured the cold water from the cup on it.
Not knowing if the painting was real, she watched the changes in the painting nervously.
The blue lotus became lighter and lighter, and a scribbled map gradually emerged. Liu Qinghuan's eyes froze, and this was actually the real thing. She quickly put away the painting, her heart beating a little faster.
How can we know that it is not a blessing if it is a blessing in disguise. Although it seemed a bit fatal this time, it allowed her to find the last painting.
I don't know where Magistrate Nama got this painting, but he obviously doesn't know the mysteries in the painting. She recalled in her mind the map on the pair of "Golden Chrysanthemum: Autumn" in Aies' hands, and then stitched together the half of the map she saw just now, and found out where the remaining half of the treasure was buried.
Liang County, Xiwei Mountain.
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help laughing, now she couldn't believe that there was no hand guiding her in the dark.
"Miss Hu, the auspicious time has come, please get in the wedding car."
The maid who was guarding the door suddenly yelled into the room, Liu Qinghuan frowned, why doesn't the second son of the Ma family live in the Ma mansion? Want to take a wedding car
But if it is more convenient for her to escape if she wants to go out, she straightened her clothes and stood up from the bed: "Here we come."
Sure enough, there was a wedding car waiting at the door of Ma's house, but it was still at the back door. Liu Qinghuan had some thoughts in her heart, but she couldn't find a clue.
After she boarded the car, the team didn't beat the gongs or drums. The quiet appearance didn't look like she was marrying a wife, but more like a thief.
After walking for a while, she found that the team was heading up the mountain—there is only one mountain in Liangxian County, Xiwei Mountain.
Rao Liu Qinghuan couldn't help being terrified, isn't God so thoughtful, telling her that the treasure is buried in Xiwei Mountain is not enough, and also sent a wedding car to take her there
It must be that she has done too many good deeds and touched the heavens.
After a few "whoosh, whoosh", not only the wedding car stopped suddenly, but even the escorts fell to the ground in unison.
Liu Qinghuan frowned and raised her eyes to look forward.
In the dark night, a young man stood in front of the car, with the attitude of a man guarding the gate, and Wan Fumo. The silvery moonlight could not see his facial features clearly, only a simple outline was drawn. The long hair in the back of the head fluttered in the wind, and the wide cuffs were blown by the night wind.
The boy stood in front of the car and looked at her for a while, then raised his foot and walked towards her.
Liu Qinghuan watched him coming, swallowed nervously: "Are you a barrier?"
The boy's footsteps seemed to stagger, and he walked out from the hazy moonlight: "Do you know who you are going to marry?"
Liu Qinghuan replied honestly: "The second son of the Ma family."
The boy sneered and said, "Wrong, it's the eldest son of the Ma family."
Liu Qinghuan blinked her eyes: "There's not much difference." In fact, there is no difference to be precise, since they all want to escape marriage anyway.
The young man fixed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Then what if I tell you that the eldest son of the Ma family died five years ago?"
