Chapter 191: Meeting Cao Jie for the Rest of Your Life
Her skin is as white as jade and as graceful as a lotus. Her slender hands hold a precious sword and her eyes are filled with heroic spirit.
That pair of long legs that can crush someone to death can be played with for a lifetime!
hiss!
Among the women Cao Jie has met, only Chen Liqing, a big horse of the same type, can compete with him.
However, Chen Liqing is a rose with thorns and is difficult to deal with.
But Hu Sanniang's rouge horse is much more docile.
Hu Cheng, the eldest brother-in-law, said excitedly: "Sanniang, do you know this brother? The Shandong hero you have admired for a long time is right in front of you."
Hu Sanniang's pupils slightly dilated, and she clasped her fists and said heroically: "But is it the brother of the Cao family in Yuncheng?"
The two looked at each other and found that they were the type that liked each other.
Cao Jie stepped forward and said with a smile, "If there is no one else with the last name Cao Jie, then it will be me."
Hu Sanniang was enthusiastic and bold. She said in a loud voice, "Brother, please come into the manor. I will prepare good wine, good meat and good feast. Tonight, all the heroes in my Hujia Manor must not leave until they are drunk. Don't be unhappy or people in the martial arts world will say that I, Hu Sanniang, am not hospitable enough."
Hu Cheng said with a smile: "My third sister has loved riding horses and playing with swords since she was young. She is also bold and aggressive. I am sorry to make you brothers laugh."
"Sanniang is straightforward and free-spirited, a heroine!"
Everyone was chatting and laughing, and heading towards Hujia Village in a lively manner.
Killing chickens and sheep is more lively than the Chinese New Year.
Hu Sanniang actually raised her wine bowl and drank three bowls of wine with Cao Jie and others. Her cheeks turned red and her eyes sparkled. Everyone said that women are as good as men, and the atmosphere was very lively.
But when Hu Sanniang was about to make a grand toast, she was pulled away by Hu Taigong.
"Sanniang, you are betrothed to someone else's wife, how can you be so presumptuous! If Zhu Biao knew about this, wouldn't he be in big trouble given his temper? Oh! Just let your brother entertain these heroes..."
"father!"
Hu Sanniang said under the influence of alcohol: "I didn't agree with the marriage in the first place, but I agreed to it for the sake of the family. I wanted to marry for the sake of profit. If you force me, I won't get married at worst."
Hu Taigong knocked on the cane in his hand and shouted, "Since ancient times, marriages have been decided by parents and matchmakers. How can your daughter decide for herself?"
"Humph!"
Hu Sanniang snorted coldly, "I am not one of those ladies from wealthy families who never leave their houses. Dad, you know Sanniang's temperament. If you push me into a corner, I will do anything. With your ability, you can't stop me, your daughter."
Hu Taigong's face froze, and he forced a smile and said, "My dear daughter, it's all your fault. I was just afraid that you would get drunk and be laughed at! It's better for a girl to be more gentle. Look at this wine, you've drunk it, and those are all vulgar men. It won't be beautiful if you squeeze in."
In the original novel, Hu Sanniang captured Wang Ying alone. When Ou Peng saw Wang Ying being captured, he went into battle to fight Hu Sanniang, but Hu Sanniang was too powerful and Ou Peng could not take advantage of her.
Then Zhu Long from Zhujiazhuang and Deng Fei, Ma Lin and Qin Ming from Liangshan also joined the battle. Ma Lin also used double swords when fighting with Hu Sanniang. The book wrote that the two pairs of swords were like "jade dust flying in the wind and white flowers scattered in the snow."
It can be seen that Hu Sanniang's fighting power, ranked 59th among the Earthly Fiends, is more than enough.
It can be said that the strongest fighter in Hujia Village belongs to Hu Sanniang. Hu Taigong naturally did not dare to say anything harsh and had to look at his daughter's mood.
At this time, my brother-in-law Hu Cheng came out with drunken eyes. From the way he walked, I could tell that he was in a good mood.
Cao Jie was very good at making friends, and he had the help of Wu Song, a senior official in Dongping Prefecture, and Liu Tang, an old man in the martial arts world, so he tricked Hu Cheng into doing it himself. "Dad, why did you bring Sanniang out?"
Hu Taigong snorted coldly. He didn't dare to show his displeasure to his daughter, but he hit his son with his cane and shouted, "You are the eldest brother, and you let your sister go to accompany you for drinking. Is this how you act as an eldest brother? I will beat you up."
Hu Cheng was hit hard by the cane three times, and said with a bitter face: "Dad, that's the little Mengde of Shandong, the enemy of the King of Hell in Yuncheng, and the King of Medicine in Yanggu! If we can get a little favor from him, my Hujiazhuang won't have to look at the face of Zhujiazhuang anymore."
"Humph! Can his reputation stop the bandits from getting stronger and stronger? I heard..." Hu Taigong lowered his voice:
"The Liangshan is now occupied by a group of strong men. Even the government officials dare not go to Liangshan Lake. If things go as expected, they will come down the mountain to rob in less than two years. If our three farms don't protect each other, they will rob our property sooner or later."
Hu Cheng raised his lips and said, "If we can get help from Brother Cao, Liangshan will not make things difficult for us."
"You mean?"
"Dad, in the past I was sitting in a well and looking at the sky from afar in Dulonggang, and I didn't know how big the sky was. Today, I met Brother Cao and Brother Wusong, the Subduing Tiger Arhat, and finally I understood it clearly."
Hu Cheng pointed to the sky, then to the ground: "He has people above him, and he also has people below him. He has a 7th-rank general as his brother in the white world, and many big brothers as his brothers in the underworld. He is also the guest of honor of the Yanggu County Magistrate. Even the Shi County Magistrate, who has been promoted to the prefect of Yuncheng next door, has a favorable eye for Brother Cao..."
"hiss!"
Hu Taigong sucked in a breath of cold air. As the owner of a manor, although he had some connections in the white world, he did not have the connections that Baili Hou had with his parents!
"Dad, what do you think Zhu Biao is? Moreover, today the three Zhu brothers insulted Teacher Luan. You know how powerful Teacher Luan is. He has now become a captain under Wu Erlang."
"hiss!"
Hu Taigong took another deep breath and said, "Son, go and entertain the heroes. If you can get a position, it will be enough to protect the family."
"Dad, my third sister is not here, and I, your son, can't liven up the atmosphere!"
"But your sister has already made that wish..."
"..."
Brother-in-law Hu Cheng looked at Hu Sanniang.
Hu Sanniang blushed and didn't dare to look her brother in the eye. Although she was generous and free-spirited, she was a woman after all, and she couldn't take the initiative in such a matter.
"Third sister, tell me something. If you don't want to get married, I will cancel the marriage tomorrow."
"Brother, when did I agree to that marriage? Wasn't it you and father who proposed it?" Hu Sanniang said angrily.
"it is good!"
Hu Cheng clapped his hands and said, "I know what to do. Brother Cao is of noble status and has no intention of getting married yet. You have to think about it carefully."
"What? This won't work. This won't work..." Hu Taigong shook his head and said, "Although my Hu family is not considered a wealthy family, we don't let our daughters become concubines..."
Originally, Hu Sanniang wanted to think about it, but after hearing what Hu Taigong said, she became rebellious and blurted out, "I have admired him for a long time, and my heart is beating fast when I see him today. Even if I become his concubine, it is better than marrying Zhu Biao. I, Hu Sanniang, dare to love and hate. Big brother...you go and cancel the engagement tomorrow, and I will go to entertain all the heroes..."
