Chapter 126 Bamboo Fragrance
Chapter 126 Bamboo Fragrance
Cao Rui smiled and said, "Let's go. I'll take you to Taoyuan Village to talk to people so you don't get bored."
After discussing with Li Xiuzhi, Wu Nana said that the shock they received today was too great and they needed to have a good rest.
Cao Rui didn't force it. He returned to the bamboo forest near Chen's house through the teleportation anchor point, ready to find Chen Dani to give birth to the child.
As soon as I reached the door, I heard my sister-in-law Chen Sanni's excited cry:
"Brother-in-law, where have you been? Grandpa Xiucai is looking for you everywhere."
"Oh, what do you want from me?"
Cao Rui thought that the old scholar had discovered that his hat was stolen, so he came to settle the score with him.
After they met, I heard the old scholar complain:
"Why did you leave without telling me? You made us look everywhere for you and almost missed the auspicious time."
"What's the auspicious time?"
"It's a good day for you and Li Jiao. Stop talking and put on your champion robes quickly. Everyone is waiting for you."
"...Miss Jiao doesn't want to be a concubine, right?"
Cao Rui was a little surprised. Why was Sun Lijiao giving himself to him for free when he hadn't even launched the offensive yet?
The old scholar was also very curious: "You must have played some tricks. Li Jiao originally did not agree to be someone's concubine, but for some reason, when I asked her again, she agreed."
At this moment, Chen Dani, a newly married woman, came out and helped Cao Rui change into the champion robe, while admonishing him:
"Li Jiao is a delicate lady, weak and frail, unlike me who is a wild girl running around in the woods all day. You must be careful with her, don't torture her like you tortured me, it will kill her."
"..."
This topic is so awkward, how can anyone respond? Didn't you see the old scholar staring at me?
Cao Rui suddenly had an idea and asked, "Did Sun Lijiao come to see you?"
Chen Dani nodded: "Although I don't quite understand some of what she said, we are good sisters."
What a contrast!
But it is understandable. After all, there are not many people in Taoyuan Village, so it is normal for two young girls to play together.
Chen Dani suddenly raised her finger: "In addition to Li Jiao, there are Chunxiang, Xinghua, Ding Qian... We are all good sisters, and we are all pretty."
The more Cao Rui listened, the more puzzled he found it. Did she want him to pack up all her sisters and take them away?
After getting dressed.
Cao Rui got married under the urging of the old scholar.
Chen Laoguan, Lanhua, and the Chen siblings accompanied them. People who didn't know might have thought they were the groom's relatives coming to pick up the bride, but they were actually the family of the newly married concubine, who were going to attend the wedding of their own brother-in-law.
……
When Cao Rui and his party arrived at the old scholar's house, it was a little late and the guests had already started eating.
The old scholar's face turned dark after seeing this, and he cried out that rituals and music were in disarray. However, there was nothing he could do, so he quickly asked the band to start playing and welcomed the bride out to the hall to pay her respects.
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two thanks to the high hall."
"Couple greetings!"
"The ceremony is over. Send the newlyweds to the bridal chamber."
Cao Rui felt that he was not a newcomer in any way, but a veteran who had seen countless people.
But Sun Lijiao is definitely brand new, and it’s exciting just thinking about it.
After Cao Rui toasted everyone at each table, he quickly retreated and walked towards the bamboo building in the backyard. He saw the candlelight inside, which not only made Sun Li look extremely beautiful, but also seven or eight other beautiful girls who were also dressed up carefully.
Among them was Chen Dani. They surrounded the bride, chatting and laughing, joking with each other, showing the liveliness and playfulness of girls.
As soon as Cao Rui entered the room, the girls stopped laughing and looked at him, with curiosity, shyness and envy in their eyes.
When Sun Lijiao saw Cao Rui coming, her face flushed, she lowered her head, and nervously twisted the corners of her clothes with her hands. She had just said with certainty that she would not be his concubine, but now she turned around and agreed. Would he look down on her?
"The groom is here, so we won't bother you anymore."
A brave girl stood up with a smile, and the other girls followed suit, flitting past Cao Rui like butterflies.
That beautiful face and graceful figure are really eye-catching.
The most important thing is that it seems that you can just reach out and catch one to admire, and you will get the cooperation of the butterfly.
Cao Rui is not that reckless after all. He knows that the protagonist of tonight is Sun Lijiao, a delicate and talented lady with a scholarly air. He doesn't know what she looks like when she cries.
Is it pear blossoms in the rain, with tears streaming down?
Or is it just sobbing and making people feel pity for you?
Or bit your lips stubbornly, trying hard not to let the tears fall?
……
Cao Rui couldn't wait to reveal the answer.
However, Chen Dani stayed until the end and pleaded for her good sister.
Sun Lijiao lowered her head and eavesdropped, blinking her eyes to indicate that she had never secretly read that kind of book and could not understand anything.
Cao Rui agreed, but did not do it because Miss Jiao's crying seemed to be more in line with the bamboo building.
……
the next day.
Cao Rui and Ding Qian, a girl from the Ding family, fell in love with each other. Cao Rui put on the top scholar's robe again, bowed to heaven and earth, and entered the bridal chamber.
Chen Dani and Sun Lijiao, as the sisters who were sending off the bride, stayed until the end and both pleaded for their good sister.
After Cao Rui agreed, the two left.
Ding Qian secretly pricked up her ears to listen, and then looked at Miss Jiao who had difficulty walking, and suddenly she became afraid.
……
Day three.
Cao Rui met a wild girl named Liu Chunxiang who had no father or mother by chance by the river.
She held a wooden stick and gently patted the clothes, creating layers of delicate ripples in the clear river water.
With every swing, her frail body seemed to contain endless strength and vitality.
That unintentional tremor not only washed the clothes, but also seemed to touch the softest part of Cao Rui's heart, making him feel indescribable admiration and heartache for her at that moment.
This situation and scene seemed like a match made in heaven, making Cao Rui deeply appreciate the beautiful mood of "love at first sight".
[Human version: The little girl has a great body, I wonder what she ate to grow up? ]
Become a bridegroom again and enter the bridal chamber.
……
Fourth day.
Cao Rui came to the home of an elder in the village and met the widow Qi Qinshi who was living at home. Seeing her pretty and graceful appearance, he decisively accepted her with a smile.
……
Happy times always go by so fast.
It’s only the eighteenth day.
Cao Rui took all the unmarried women of marriageable age in Taoyuan Village as his concubines, but he was still not satisfied, so he was forced to end it.
After all, beautiful women are always rare, unless he lowers his aesthetic standards.
Unknowingly, the talent copied from Xu Damao, [Intercepting Killer], was unlocked, and its special effect is the ability to see into the girl's mind.
Cao Rui turned to look at his sister-in-law Chen Sanni who always followed him and activated his talent special effect.
Immediately understand the girl's mind:
"I don't want a new brother-in-law!"
"What, your second sister is getting married?"
Cao Rui exploded and grabbed Chen Sanni's shoulders and asked.
"Brother-in-law, it's not that my second sister wants to get married."
After Chen Sanni exclaimed, her eyes immediately turned red:
"The villagers said that once you get your sisters pregnant, you will leave the village, leaving your widow and orphan with no one to take care of them. Life will be difficult for you, so you want to find a man to rely on again."
No wonder!
In the past two days, in addition to the young girls and wives who came close to him, there were also many young men.
It turned out that he wanted to wait until I was gone and then take over my plate, and even take the children with him.
Want to blind their minds!
Cao Rui sneered and asked Chen Sanni to notify his concubines to gather in the bamboo forest near the Chen family and introduce them to the two sisters outside.
"Okay brother-in-law, I will only recognize you as my brother-in-law forever!"
Chen Sanni turned her worry into joy and ran to pass on the message like the wind.
……
Inside the bamboo forest.
Chen Dani arrived first, holding a bow and arrow she had made herself, and expressed her attitude:
"My husband, I don't recognize anyone except you! If they dare to harass me, shoot them to death!"
