Not long after Long Kong 'er joined the special forces, Ji Yuanfu's wife, Madam Ji, thought that her son, Ji Yuchun, was eighteen years old and it was time to talk about marriage. She remembered that she had promised to marry Master Mei before she was born. Now, she should fulfill her promise. She had met Mei Ruxue before and was very fond of this gentle and adorable beauty. Her son had also expressed his feelings for her. Moreover, the last time his son had a competition with Long Kong 'er, he was afraid that Long Kong' er would steal his love, so he took revenge on Long Kong 'er. If she did not settle her son's marriage as soon as possible, she was afraid that a long delay would lead to more problems. When Madam Ji told Ji Yuanfu her thoughts, Ji Yuanfu agreed and prepared to personally propose marriage to Hall Master Mei.
Ji Yuanfu was the richest man in the county. He had opened several medicine shops in the provincial capital and had a pistol team of more than 40 people under him. This morning, Ji Yuanfu, Madam Ji, and thirty pistol squads carried two boxes of gifts toward Longshan Martial School. When the butler saw Ji Yuanfu's team, he hurriedly came to report,"Hall Master Mei, Master Ji Yuanfu has come to propose marriage."?”
Dojo Master Mei and Ji Yuanfu were sworn brothers. Ji Yuanfu was a few months older than Dojo Master Mei, and Dojo Master Mei respected Ji Yuanfu as her elder brother. As they were busy with their own matters, they rarely met each other once a year. Today, when she heard that Ji Yuanfu had come to propose marriage, she was overjoyed and walked out of the reception room to welcome him.
Ji Yuanfu's face was full of joy. When he saw Dojo Master Mei, he cupped his hands and said,""Headmaster Mei, I've heard a lot about you! I've heard so much about you!"
"Big brother, we're all sworn brothers. There's no need for you to be so polite!"”
"This is a small gift. Please accept it."
"Thank you for your love, Big Brother. Big Brother, Madam Ji, please sit in the house.”"Housekeeper, serve the best Longjing tea."”
Ji Yuanfu and Madam Ji sat down, and four guards carried two red dragon-patterned gift boxes in. Ji Yuanfu asked the guards to open the gift boxes one by one, then said,""Hall Master Mei, this is a thousand taels of gold and some silk.”
"Big brother, such a generous gift is going to kill this little brother.”
"Dojo Master Mei, you are too kind. It is just a small gift. Our two families are connected by marriage. In the future, our businesses will prosper and we will work together for prosperity.”
"Thank you, big brother, for remembering our previous engagement.”
"Head Mei, although it was a pre-arranged marriage, the two children have grown up now. My son is handsome and talented, and your daughter is intelligent and beautiful. These two children were really good-looking and very compatible.”
"Big brother is right."
"Hall Master Mei, let's settle the matter of our children today and choose an auspicious day to do it gloriously. You and I have a load off our minds."
Madam Mei interjected," Master Ji, Xue 'er has been spoiled since she was young. She's very willful. We still have to discuss this matter with her."”
"Oh?" Ji Yuanfu was shocked. He did not expect this little girl to have her own opinions, nor did he expect the Mei couple to dote on this daughter so much.
Madam Ji had seen Mei Ruxue a few times. This child had a gentle personality and was a good girl. Could it be that Madam Mei did not agree and used an excuse to decline? Madam Ji said," Xue 'er was very obedient a few years ago. But now that she's grown up, she's become disobedient?"”
Madam Mei said," Madam Ji, our daughter is now an adult. She has been influenced by new ideas. She is a woman and a man, and she is not like us who listen to our parents 'orders and matchmakers' words.”
"Times have indeed changed," said Madam Ji with a smile.”
Dojo Master Mei knew that no one understood her daughter's thoughts better than her mother. Madam Mei must have her reasons for saying this, so she could not easily agree to Ji Yuanfu's request. She said tactfully,""Eldest Brother, Furen, this is a marriage of a lifetime. Give us some time to discuss with Xue 'er.”
Although Ji Yuanfu was unhappy, he couldn't force it. He squeezed out a smile and said,""There is no time to lose. Please give me a reply within ten days, Hall Master Mei.”
"Alright, I'll definitely reply within ten days. However, please take these betrothal gifts back first.”
"Head Mei, I'll leave the betrothal gifts here. If I take it back, I'll lose face."
"Then accept it for the time being. We'll deal with it after we decide.”
Ji Yuanfu stood up and bowed." Alright, Hall Master Mei. I won't disturb you anymore. Goodbye."”
"Take care, Big Brother, Madam."”As she spoke, she escorted Ji Yuanfu out of the dojo.
After Ji Yuanfu left, Dojo Master Mei and Madam Mei returned to the reception room. Dojo Master Mei asked Lady Mei for her opinion on the engagement. Madam Mei said,"Master, this marriage is indeed a perfect match. However, this engagement would probably be difficult to achieve.”
"Are you saying that Xue 'er doesn't like Ji Yuchun?”
"Can't you tell? She already has someone she likes."
"Who is it?" asked Hall Master Mei.
"Long Kong 'er."
"Long Kong 'er is indeed a graceful young man. He has an extraordinary bearing and has magical martial arts. However, if he did not agree to this marriage, Ji Yuanfu would not be satisfied. He is a ruthless person."
"Then what should we do?"
"Let's talk to Xue 'er."
"This is the only way."
In the evening, Owner Mei asked Lady Mei to call Mei Ruxue to the reception room. She wanted to talk to her together. Mei Ruxue had seen Ji Yuanfu's marriage proposal team in the morning and guessed that her parents were going to discuss marriage with her tonight. However, Mei Ruxue had already fallen in love with Long Kong 'er when she first met her. She could no longer tolerate anyone else in her heart. She had long secretly sworn that she would not marry anyone other than Long Kong' er.
"Xue 'er, you saw it this morning. Ji Yuanfu came to propose marriage." What do you think?"
"Father, I don't want to get married now," Mei Ruxue said embarrassedly.”
Madam Mei said,"You and Ji Yuchun are very compatible." His family's conditions are very good. You won't be able to enjoy glory and wealth for the rest of your life.”
"Mother, this isn't a simple question.”
"Do you like Long Kong 'er?" Madam Mei asked bluntly.”
"Mother, I really don't want to get married now," Mei Ruxue said with a red face.”
"I know you like Long Kong 'er." But, does Long Kong 'er like you?"
"I don't know."
"Xue 'er, just say it." Even though the Ji and Mei families had arranged a marriage before you were born, if you don't like it, I won't force you. I won't sacrifice my daughter's happiness."
"But they won't let it go," said Madam Mei gloomily. They're rich and powerful. We'll be in trouble.”
"I'm not afraid of trouble, but we need to think of a plan that can satisfy both sides.”
"Father, Mother, let me join the army," Mei Ruxue said.”
Madam Mei was afraid that Xue 'er would join the army and said anxiously,"Xue 'er, don't join the army! There was a war going on right now, and it was very dangerous. After you graduate, you can be a coach in the dojo.”
Dojo Master Mei knew that once one joined the army, they would become a soldier. No one would dare to interfere with a soldier's marriage. However, joining the army meant fighting a war, and there was a possibility of sacrifice in a war. He regarded Xue 'er as the pearl in his palm, and he could not bear to let his daughter take the risk. "Last time, Commander Qiu said you weren't eighteen yet.”
"I know my parents are worried about me and won't let me join the army," Mei Ruxue said. However, Long Kong 'er is in the army. With him around, I'll be fine.”
" I believe that Long Kong 'er has the ability to protect Xue' er," said Hall Master Mei." However, a battlefield is a battlefield after all. It's a place where life and death are played. It's very dangerous."”
"But, I really don't want this marriage. If I can't be with Long Kong 'er, I'd rather die.”
Madam Mei was so anxious that she was about to cry.”
"Alright, don't say anymore. Let's wait and see."”
These days, Mei Ruxue had been troubled by the matter of the pre-marital marriage. She had thought about it a lot, and her longing for Long Kong 'er had increased day by day. Long Kong 'er had been in the army for a month. Why hadn't she received his letter yet? Where was he now? Was there a war? Mei Ruxue also had a nightmare. She dreamed that Long Kong 'er was in the middle of a dense forest deep in the mountains, brandishing her Wind and Thunder Sword and killing a large group of bandits. However, she did not realize that a bandit hiding in the grass behind her had shot her from behind, and she fell to the ground. Mei Ruxue rushed over and cried. After Mei Ruxue woke up from crying, she realized that she was dreaming. She broke into a smile and muttered to herself," Great, this is a dream. Long Kong 'er is fine."
After Ji Yuchun learned of his father's proposal, the Mei family had yet to reply. One day, after class, he gave Mei Ruxue a bouquet of beautiful flowers. Mei Ruxue looked at the flowers and smiled.""Thank you. But I don't need it."
"Please accept it. This is my sincerity."
For the sake of her classmates, Mei Ruxue said tactfully,""I'll accept it this time. Don't give it to me in the future.”
"As long as you like it, I'll give it to you every day.”
"I really don't need it. If you give me more, I'll throw the flowers away.”
"It's my business to give it away, but it's your business to throw it away," Ji Yuchun said in a glib tone.”
Seeing how unruly he was, Mei Ruxue said helplessly,""Why are you like this?"
"Mei Ruxue, you are destined to be mine.”
"Don't talk nonsense."
"We were engaged before we were born. Our parents had already made an agreement for us.”
"That's a joke from my parents.”
Ji Yuchun's face was sullen as he said loudly,""Mei Ruxue, I know you like Long Kong 'er. But, how am I inferior to him? He was a hunter's child, a poor child.”
"Don't insult him."
"He doesn't have money, a mansion, or a car. He can't give you happiness.”
"But I'm very happy and happy with him. What was money? Money was just an ornament on a person's body. It could not represent a lifetime of happiness.”
Ji Yuchun turned around and said,"He is a guest from outer space, a transvestite. Sooner or later, he will harm mankind."”
"He's a guest from outer space, not a transvestite. He's a good person, and he's of a higher level than the humans on Earth. I believe he is here to save humanity.”
"You've really been bewitched by him."
"I can't be bothered with you." Mei Ruxue turned around and left, throwing the flowers on the ground.
Ji Yuchun saw that she really threw the flowers away and felt very uncomfortable. He said angrily, Mei Ruxue, you will regret this!"
Mei Ruxue left without looking back.
Ji Yuchun knew that Mei Ruxue's heart had been taken away by Long Kong 'er. It would not be easy to snatch her heart back from Long Kong' er. He hated Long Kong 'er even more. He reported to his father that Mei Ruxue disliked him and rejected him because of Long Kong 'er. He asked his father to send someone to kill Long Kong 'er so that Mei Ruxue would give up.
