Chapter 103: The Bride’s Request
As soon as Zhao Congrui said this, he was immediately proven wrong.
The guests nearby all said, “The Lu Family Ink Lion is very famous in our town!”
“Ziyi’s uncle is one of the top martial masters in town, and his disciples have a lion dance team, which is the Lu Family Ink Lion!”
“With the Lu Family Ink Lion participating in picking the green, they’ve never let anyone else win!”
No wonder the applause was the most enthusiastic when the black-clothed team appeared earlier; they were the Lu Family Ink Lion!
Zhao Congrui asked, “Is Ziyi also on the Lu Family Ink Lion team?”
“No, but Ziyi’s kung fu is also very impressive!”
Zhao Congrui thought to himself, the son of the Lu family patriarch, people always praise him. Even with formidable teammates and high kung fu skills, one needs to know how to perform lion dances and pick the green!
Lu Ziyi is still—a question mark!
Zhao Congrui muttered, but didn’t dare to say it out loud, because the Lu family members are not only numerous but also capable fighters; he couldn’t even beat Uncle Lu’s six-year-old grandson!
The picking the green competition officially began. Ye Chuxiao no longer paid attention to what Zhao Congrui and the guests were discussing. Her eyes were fixed on Lu Ziyi, and even her breathing became gentle.
The competition in the arena was spectacular. Every time a thrilling moment occurred, the surrounding guests would exclaim in waves and cheer with great enjoyment.
Ye Chuxiao bit her lip, unconsciously clenching it. The sound of gongs and drums further amplified the intensity of the competition.
“Xiaoxiao, Xiaoxiao!”
A soft call came from beside her, but Ye Chuxiao didn’t notice.
It wasn’t until a small, plain white hand rested on Ye Chuxiao’s shoulder and called again, “Xiaoxiao.”
Ye Chuxiao finally turned her head. She saw a beautiful and elegant woman, perhaps one or two years older than her, wearing a red, modified qipao that accentuated her tall and graceful figure.
Given the occasion and her attire, Ye Chuxiao thought she was most likely the bride.
The bride was looking for her? Ye Chuxiao’s eyes widened as she asked, “Are you Miss Yunfei?”
“Xiaoxiao, please call me Yunfei. I’m just a child from an ordinary family,” Xiao Yunfei said with a gentle smile. “Xiaoxiao, can you do me a favor?”
“What can I help you with?”
“It’s a bit noisy here. Shall we go aside and talk?”
“Oh…”
Ye Chuxiao had a good impression of Xiao Yunfei. Her temperament was truly like that of a noble lady from ancient times, elegant in her demeanor and knowledgeable.
Xiao Yunfei led Ye Chuxiao into the main building. Everyone was so captivated by the lion dance and picking the green that they didn’t notice the two girls leaving.
Even Zhao Congrui and Lin Houchun, who had earlier offered to help look after Ye Chuxiao, didn’t notice.
Regarding the manual labor the next day, Zhao Congrui was intently watching the performance of Lu Ziyi’s team.
As for Lin Houchun, he was busy recording and taking pictures of the event on the field, jumping around; it wasn’t any less strenuous than the lion dance!
Xiao Yunfei led Ye Chuxiao up to a room on the second floor.
Pushing the door open, Ye Chuxiao was surprised. This was actually the bridal chamber for the bride and groom!
Curious Ye Chuxiao looked around the room’s decor, feeling a sense of time travel, with its antique charm and unique flavor.
Xiao Yunfei didn’t disturb Ye Chuxiao’s observation; she stood beside her, a gentle smile on her lips.
Ye Chuxiao realized she might have been impolite. She lowered her gaze and asked, “Older Sister Yunfei, what can I help you with?”
“I noticed the braid Xiaoxiao has is quite elegant. Can Xiaoxiao help me with a braided hair bun?” Xiao Yunfei said. “I messed up my hair when I was changing earlier.”
