My master is invincible

Chapter 497 Collecting Birds (21)

"It's God's will, it's God's will!" Granny Qiao grabbed my hand and looked at it repeatedly, her expression was a little excited, and she said excitedly, "I can finally relax and don't have to worry about Sisi's marriage."

Hearing this, I became even more confused, so I asked her, "Grandma Qiao, what does my left hand have to do with Miss Qiao's marriage?"

She smiled mysteriously and ignored me. Instead, she stared at Joyce for a while and said, "Sisi, it's God's will, do you understand?"

"Hmm!" Joyce showed shyness like a little woman, and her voice was extremely low.

This made me more and more confused. What kind of charades did the grandparents and grandchildren play? I asked the two of them, but they didn’t answer my question. crazy.

The two of them talked for a long time, and I was a little anxious, Su Mengke got married today, if I delay, I'm afraid this trip will be in vain.

So, I didn't care about being polite, interrupted the two of them, and said to Granny Qiao: "Can you take me to the Wanming Pagoda?"

She was taken aback, smiled at me, and said, "Come with me."

Then, the four of us walked towards Wanming Pagoda.On the way, I asked Granny Qiao why those horse gnats surrounded us, and she said that those gnats are familiar with life, and once strangers approach, they will crawl out to prevent strangers from entering the Wanming Pagoda.

I asked Grandma Qiao about Su Mengke's marriage again, and she told me that Su Mengke's marriage partner is also from Wanming Pagoda, her family has a lot of research on Gu, and she and the Su family can be regarded as well-connected.

I was stunned for a moment when I heard the four words, well-matched. I remember Joyce said that the Su family is the richest person in Phoenix City. How could a well-matched family come out?That's a little bit wrong, isn't it?
I expressed my doubts to Granny Qiao.

She smiled, and as she walked forward, she explained a lot to me. Generally speaking, there are twelve branches of the Miao people in Xiangxi, that is, the twelve major Miao surnames, which are Ge (ge) Pu, Ge Lou, and Ge Kang. , Gel Mi, Gel Guan, Gel Ka, Gel Cut, Gel Lai, Gel Kan, Gel Su, Gel Lao, these twelve clans are called five clans and seven clans by outsiders.

In history, some Miao people made great contributions to the feudal dynasty at that time. Those emperors felt that these surnames were too complicated and difficult to remember, so they gave them Chinese surnames, namely Wu, Liao, Shi, Qiao, Ma, He, Bao, Wang, Liu, Li, Xiang, Su, these twelve surnames.

In the long river of history, even the so-called most mysterious Miao family still cannot withstand the scouring of the long history. So far, there are only eight influential families left, namely Wu, Liao, Shi, Qiao, Bao, Li, Xiang and Su.

Of these eight families, the first seven families have raised Gu for generations, and are famous for Gu in western Hunan. As for the eighth family, the Su family, they are at the end of the eight families with their wealth.

Anyone who has been to the Hmong knows that the value of a person is not measured by the economy, but by Gu.Therefore, the owner of the Su family who is known as the richest in Phoenix City has a lot of face in the eyes of outsiders.However, in the eyes of Miao Gu masters, he still has no status. To put it bluntly, he is a businessman who smells of copper all over his body.

As for the person who married Su Mengke, he was Shi Rong, the eldest son of the Eight Great Families. His ancestors have been Gu masters for generations. At first glance, Shi Rong is the eldest son of Shi, so he must be powerful. After all, he is the eldest son. otherwise.

The reason is that these Miao Gu masters are generally women, and men have no status at all. In the words of our Han nationality, women are in charge of the outside and men are in the house. The status of the eldest son can be imagined.

According to Grandma Qiao, the reason why Su Mengke's father married his daughter to Shi Rong was that he wanted to exchange Su Mengke for the eldest daughter of the Shi family. Exchange the daughter for a Gu master's daughter-in-law to come back.

Hearing this, I was stunned for a long time, what age is it, and I exchanged my daughter for my daughter-in-law, isn't this nonsense, a typical example of pushing a daughter into a pit of fire.

Immediately, I asked Granny Qiao, "The Su family is so rich, and it takes so much trouble for him to marry his daughter-in-law? If you publish a marriage proposal in the newspaper, the door of the Su family will be smashed!"

"That's right, in this materialistic society, no matter how powerful a Gu master is, it's true that he doesn't have no money, right?" Lang Gao muttered to the side.

Grandma Qiao smiled and said: "You are foreigners and don't understand the customs of our Miao people. Our ancient families here place Gu as the most important thing, unlike outsiders who value money more than life." .”

As she said that, she stopped, turned her head, glanced at me, and said with a smile: "There are a lot of women here who understand Gu, but only a few who know how to do it. Take our family Si Si as an example. It must be easy to marry a rich man with her looks, but if you add her name as the Phoenix Princess, in ancient times, she would marry the royal family."

After hearing this, I finally understood that Granny Qiao was praising Joyce in a different way, and it was not good to interrupt her, so I listened carefully to her continuation.

That Granny Qiao seemed to be opening up a chatterbox, and she said a lot of good things about Joyce. My ears were almost callused, and I couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. How wonderful, the second time I met me in Quyang, I didn't mention Joyce. The third time I saw me, just now, I just mentioned Joyce politely.

However, after showing her my left hand, my attitude towards me took a 180-degree turn, and my words seemed to be selling Joyce to me.

Thinking of this, I glanced at Joyce and saw her staring at me. This made me more sure of what I was thinking. How dare I continue to listen to Granny Qiao's compliments on Joyce, and immediately stopped me: "Grandma Qiao, You haven't told me what Su Mengke thinks about this marriage!"

"Oh!" She was stunned, smiled, and said, "I'm old and forget about business. That little Su is also very pitiful. After returning from Quyang, her voice was ruined and her pretty face was gone. That girl didn't care too much, and kept telling the Gu Master of Wanming Pagoda that her beloved man would come to marry her. Until her father assigned her a marriage, that girl's temperament changed drastically, and she washed her face with tears all day long, depressed, and then Not as lively as it used to be.”

Speaking of this, she sighed and continued: "Ai! That girl is very talented. If it weren't for the feud between the Qiaosu family, the old man would have wanted to take her as an apprentice. It's a pity that she is a talented person."

Hearing this, I felt very guilty. The reason why Su Mengke was disfigured was all because of me.

I clenched my fists and asked Granny Qiao: "How is Shi Rong?"

"He! He's very mediocre, and it's because he was born in Shi's family. If he was placed in an ordinary family, he probably won't be able to marry a wife in his life." Granny Qiao shook her head and continued walking forward.

When I heard this, I was really angry. Su Mengke said on QQ that her face had almost recovered, and she must have almost the same beauty. But from Granny Qiao's tone, Shi Rong was probably worthless. The two got married , How can Su Mengke be happy at all.
