Lord Zhang Fei

Chapter 22: Marriage Proposal [I]

From a distance, Zhang Fei 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? Zhang Fei 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 Zhang Fei saw that a merchant would pile all the goods at the patriarch’s door. Wouldn’t it be a gift?

Zhang Fei 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 Zhang Mu Tuo and the clan mother Zhang Xuan’er sitting above the first place.

.....

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

“Fei, send greetings to his father and mother.”

“Shuang send greetings to father and mother.”

“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, Zhang Mu Tuo and his wife had officially accepted the two sisters as their righteous daughters. Therefore, the two sisters’ names for Zhang Mu Tuo and Zhang Xuan’er had also changed.

Zhang 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, Zhang Mu Tuo waved his hand and said, “Big brother, don’t be too polite, come and sit down.”

At the sign of Zhang Xuan’er, Zhang Fei 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 Zhang Mu Tuo saw Zhang Fei standing still, he said to them, “Our two distinguished guests, this is Fei.”

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

After the ceremonial form of greeting, Zhang Fei heard the good-looking man saying, “I have long heard of Zhang Fei’s superior wisdom. I saw him today and he was truly extraordinary. I’m Guchi of the Han family, my father is Xiong, the head of the Fountain tribe. This is one of our warriors, Luer.”

The mighty warrior immediately slapped Zhang Fei with a fist, and said in a buzzing voice. “Luer has seen Young Master Fei.”

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

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

Zhang Fei 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 Zhang Fei. “Fei, there are two things that brought us here today. May I ask you of them?”

Zhang Fei 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 Zhang Fei and couldn’t help but smiled. “First of all, we came wth a happy event in mind. Guchi 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?” Zhang Fei 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.

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, Zhang Fei quickly recovered, and couldn’t help but say to Gu Qi. “Lord Guchi is talking about my two sisters?”

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 Zhang Mu Tuo.

Hearing Zhang Fei’s question at this time, Guchi quickly replied. “It is exactly that, young master Zhang Fei. please I also ask the patriarch and Zhang Fei 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. Zhang Fei 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, Zhang Fei knew that this kind of thing would have to be faced sooner or later.
