Crossing the grassland, the rough general, please set me free

Chapter 99 How old are you?

Mandulatu looked at his son and knew that he was a man of his own ideas. Once he made up his mind, he would do whatever it took to achieve it.

"Which girl do you have your eye on? If your status matches, I can consider it."

"He's from the Central Plains."

Hearing this, Mantulatu laughed.

"You're really good at finding a partner, boy. They say women from the Central Plains are gentle and tender. As a father, I understand that even heroes can be tempted by beautiful women. But regarding your marriage, you should consider how it will benefit you in the future."

Bumutai took a sip of milk tea.

"Father Khan, do you have no confidence in your son? Only a worthless man would rely on the power of a woman."

"I know you have great ambitions, but the power dynamics are complex right now, so you should consider carefully. If the woman from the Central Plains you're talking about is from a royal family or important minister of Qi, then it's not impossible. But if she's just an ordinary woman, then absolutely not. If you really like her, you can take her in as a concubine and dote on her however you want."

Bumtai knew that Mandulatu would not agree.

When he grows up, who will dare to stop him?

The father and son were silent for a while, each with his own thoughts. The only sound in the big tent was the quiet drinking of tea.

. . . . . . . . . . . . .

In the afternoon, Yan Lie came back to change into his wedding clothes. As soon as he entered the tent, he saw the little woman sitting on the felt couch.

She didn't look like she usually did without makeup. Her eyebrows were lightly dyed black, her lips were slightly red, and her fair complexion with a hint of rosy pink looked even more charming against the bright red wedding dress. The waist belt perfectly outlined her delicate and graceful figure.

A woman like this will be my wife in the future.

Yan Lie was a little stunned and stood there in a daze.

"What are you standing there for?"

Lin Shu saw him standing there staring at her like a fangirl and spoke.

Yan Lie smiled, walked over and sat down beside her.

"Hey, Shu'er, you look so beautiful today!"

"Oh, so you mean I wasn't good-looking before?" Lin Shu curled her lips.

"You look beautiful every day. But you look especially beautiful today. You're like a fairy walking down from a painting."

"Tsk. You just love to talk nonsense. Is everything arranged outside?"

"Yeah, everything is fine. I'm just coming back to change clothes."

"Then you change your clothes first, I'll do some writing."

Yan Lie took out clothes from the closet and started changing.

Lin Shu sat in front of the desk with his back to him.

On the red paper, write the marriage certificate.

I just wrote a few words and it occurred to me that we're getting married soon. I know his name, but it seems I've never asked him his age. It's impossible that I don't even know this, right?

"Yan Lie, how old are you?"

Yan Lie, who was changing his clothes, paused and glanced somewhere.

Is Shu'er worried that she's not good enough? That she can't make her happy?

What men care about most is being told that he is not good enough.

He bit his back teeth and uttered two words.

"Not small."

"Not small?? I know you're not small. Don't be so vague, be more specific."

Specific? How specific? Do I need him to measure it?

How to measure? Which one to measure?

How to answer this?

If I don’t reply, will she be disappointed?

Lin Shu had almost finished writing, but there was no sound behind him.

I turned back in doubt.

Seeing him standing there with an unnatural look on his face,

"what happened to you?"

Yan Lie walked straight up to her and said, "Just how big it is, you can see for yourself."

After saying that, he began to undress again.

Lin Shu quickly held his hand down.

"Speak properly, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you ask me how old I was?"

Looking at his hand pulling at his belt, Lin Shu finally realized that what the two of them had just said were completely out of sync.

Inside the big tent, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Lin Shu blushed.

"What are you thinking? I'm talking about age? How old are you?"

"Ah? Age? You should have told me earlier. Haha, twenty-four." Yan Lie looked calm and composed.

"Ahem, ahem, okay. I get it. He's four years older than me. Come on, I've written it. You write your name on the marriage certificate."

When Yan Lie has free time, he will practice writing his name. Although he can't write it very well, at least he can write it coherently.

Lin Shu blew on the ink on the paper and said, "Now it's reasonable and legal."

Yan Lie took the marriage certificate. He now recognized some of the characters on it and felt very happy. He would have a family in the future.

Carefully put away the marriage certificate.

. . . . . . . . . .

As night fell, the sound of piano became melodious, and the clansmen who came to attend the wedding banquet all dressed up.

Yan Lie took Lin Shu's hand and walked into the wedding venue surrounded by clan members.

Everyone looked at the bride from the Central Plains.

There were bursts of sighs.

Balin Khan sat at the head of the table. Although he was dressed in formal attire, his gray complexion could not be concealed.

Beside him was Concubine Yun Xihe, still as dignified and noble as ever. However, there was a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

Then the newlyweds bow to the gods and receive their blessings.

Yan Lie took Lin Shu's hand, walked to Balin Khan, and kowtowed.

Balinhan smiled and said, "Okay, get up quickly."

After the ceremony, the tribesmen around cheered loudly.

Yan Lie pulled her into his arms, "Shu'er, you are finally my wife."

Lin Shu looked at the people around her and lowered her head with a blushing face.

A bonfire was lit at the wedding venue.

The crowd cheered and the piano music became more cheerful.

Soon after the two of them sat down, people kept coming to toast them.

Yan Lie basically accepts everyone who comes to him.

Lin Shu wanted to take a couple of symbolic sips, but was stopped by Yan Lie.

He took Lin Shu's wine glass and said, "I'll drink it for her."

Fortunately, everyone was protecting their food, so they just smiled and joked a few times before leaving.

After three rounds of drinking, the young men and women of the tribe began to dance around the campfire.

After the children had eaten for a while, they all became restless and started to play and laugh in groups of three or five.

Helian Zhen, who was sitting not far away, looked at the scene in front of her, holding the wine glass tightly in her hand, as if she would not stop until she crushed it.

The scene I have imagined countless times belongs to another person today.

"Bang." He threw down the wine glass and stood up to leave.

Everyone's attention was on the newlyweds and no one noticed her.

At this time, several young girls came to Lin Shu.

"Bride, let the men go drink, and you come dance with us?"

"Ah, dancing??"

Lin Shu watched their traditional dance, which she had never learned. Each dance had its own unique steps and body movements.

"It's okay, it's easy to learn. Come on, we'll teach you."

Lin Shu glanced at the man beside him.

Yan Lie patted her hands.

"It's okay, go play with everyone."

After hearing this, the young woman didn't wait for Lin Shu's consent and directly pulled her into the center of the venue.
