Mortal Cultivation-Chapter 20

Chapter 20: A Marriage Proposal [I]

From a distance, Wang Wei could see a number of people standing in front of his parents’ yurt. In addition to the people he knew, there were also a few strangers who were obviously not from his tribe.

There were a lot of large and small packages stacked at the feet of these people. Not far away, there were people looking after a large herd of cattle, sheep and several horses, and there were still unloaded goods on the horses’ backs.

He didn’t know where these people came from, or what they came to do. Are they people who came to join our clan? Wang Wei thought for a while, and couldn’t help but shook his head. He could only guess at this time, but It didn’t feel like it.

Or maybe they were trade merchants who sold and bought goods. Among the tribes, there were often merchants selling goods on the move.

It was just that after the general merchants arrived, they piled up the goods directly on the tribal square, making it easier for the tribe in general to buy. It was the first time Wang Wei saw that a merchant would pile all the goods at the patriarch’s door. Wouldn’t it be a gift? 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

Wang Wei couldn’t help but shook his head again and smiled secretly. He walked into the yurt with the Qiu sisters and Mammoth with some doubts on his face. The clansmen in front of the patriarch’s door saw that they were the son and his party, and they did not stop them.

As soon as he walked in, he saw two strange men sitting on the bamboo seaters in the yurt, while the patriarch Wang Mu Tuo and the clan mother Wang Daxia sitting above the first place.

.....

Wang Wei quickly walked a few steps to them and bowed his knees to the Wang couple in a proper manner. This was what Wang Wei had been doing every morning for a time now according to tradition.

“Wang Wei, send greetings to his father and mother.”

“Qiu Shuang send greetings to father and mother.”

“Qiu Hong send greetings to father and mother.”

The Qiu sisters at this time had already gotten rid of their servant status. As early as their first five years in this world, Wang Mu Tuo and his wife had officially accepted the two sisters as their righteous daughters. Therefore, the two sisters’ names for Wang Mu Tuo and Wang Daxia had also changed.

Wang Mu Tuo nodded with a smile, and raised his hand. “Well, you can all get up. We were just about to send someone to invite you all.”

When Mammoth saw the other three paying their homage, he quickly stepped forward. Just as he was about to bow, Wang Mu Tuo waved his hand and said, “Big brother, don’t be too polite, come and sit down.”

At the sign of Wang Daxia, Wang Wei and the sisters walked to their mother and stood beside her, and only then did they take a closer look at the scene in the house.

They saw two men sitting side by side next to their parents. A long, tall and mighty man with thick eyebrows and ringing eyes, but because he had too many facial hair, his age couldn’t be determined.

The other was of medium build, with a cold face and piercing eyes, like a needle and knife. Judging from his appearance, he could be regarded as a kind of talent, and he was about twenty years old.

Both of them were dark-skinned, dressed in coarse animal fur costumes, which must be of tribal origin.

When Wang Mu Tuo saw Wang Wei standing still, he said to them, “Our two distinguished guests, this is Wang Wei.”

The two were surprised at first, then quickly stood up, and Wang Wei performed a tribal greeting ceremony.

After the ceremonial form of greeting, Wang Wei heard the good-looking man saying, “I have long heard of Wang Wei’s superior wisdom. I saw him today and he was truly extraordinary. I’m Han Guchi, my father is Han Xiong, the head of the Fountain tribe. This is our warrior Lu Er.”

The mighty warrior immediately slapped Wang Wei with a fist, and said in a buzzing voice. “Lu Er has seen Young Master Wei.”

Wang Wei immediately replied politely. “The two distinguished guests are welcome, please sit down.”

After everyone sat down again, Wang Mu Tuo couldn’t help looking at everyone, his eyes finally settled on Han Guchi.

“Lord Guchi, the two things you just said just now involve my son Wei, so this patriarch can’t be completely in charge. Why don’t you tell him yourself. If he agrees, then I have no opinion than to agree.”

Wang Wei couldn’t help being surprised when he heard this. What important thing was his father still unable to be the decider?

He saw Guchi leaned slightly, and then said to Wang Wei. “Wang Wei, there are two things that brought us here today. May I ask you of them?”

Wang Wei couldn’t help raising his hand and said, “Master Guchi, please tell me.”

Han Guchi was obviously a little embarrassed. He glanced at the Qiu sisters beside Wang Wei and couldn’t help but smiled. “First of all, we came wth a happy event in mind. Gu has long heard that the noble patriarch has two righteous daughters. They look like goddesses, and they are also girl heroes. So, we come to propose a marriage, and hope the honored patriarch, matriarch and the son to grant us this wonderful proposal.”

“Proposing marriage?” Wang Wei suddenly exclaimed, looking back at Qiu Shuang and Qiu Hong. The second woman’s eyes widened in surprise.

People in these local tribes were mostly open-minded people, and they didn’t care about small things. Therefore, there was no complicated etiquette such as matchmaker’s words in the proposal of marriage.

Han Guchi came to propose the marriage personally, and raised the marriage discussion in front of the Qiu sisters. Although reckless, there was nothing wrong with it.

Shocked for a while, Wang Wei quickly recovered, and couldn’t help but say to Gu Qi. “Lord Guchi is talking about my two sisters?”

Han Guchi had already discovered that two of the four people who came in were identical and beautiful women.

Although his tribe was a large tribe with tens of thousands of people, he couldn’t pick a woman to compare with them. He knew in his heart without any introduction that these two were the righteous daughters adopted by the legendary patriarch Wang Mu Tuo.

Hearing Wang Wei’s question at this time, Guchi quickly replied. “It is exactly that, young master Wei. please I also ask the patriarch and Wang Wei to do their best in making this happen. You and my clan will forever form a friendly alliance, and we will share happiness and hardship.”

Lamentably, what would come, would come after all. Wang Wei couldn’t help but plead with the sisters. Qiu Shuang and Qiu Hong were already young adult. In the tribe, women and children of their age had all run away.

Only because they had to take care of themselves and their future lineage, the two sisters had to get married. Although resentful, Wang Wei knew that this kind of thing would have to be faced sooner or later.ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦
