I'm the master of my life

Chapter 224 Hunter in a World of Female Domination 19

Miss Jiang nodded slightly and said, "Okay."

Lanxi crossed the stream, walked to the other side of the river, and cut two thicker bamboos.

When she was about to leave, she saw bamboo fungus. She happily picked all of them and then carried the bamboo back!

When they returned to the stream, Jiang Chaohui's guards had already returned. They had built a fire nearby, and Huoshan was roasting a half-grown deer.

"Why are you cutting bamboo?" Xiao Yuling asked curiously.

Lanxi looked up at her and said, "It works!" Then she cut off the root of the bamboo, cut the bamboo in half, filled the extra half with water, and made a wild vegetable soup.

He took out the dagger again and polished the rest of the root. Before long, he had made five bowls and also carved a pair of chopsticks out of bamboo.

"Good craftsmanship!" Xiao Yuling came closer again, holding the bowl and looking at it from left to right.

Lanxi washed the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, put the chopsticks in a bamboo tube, kept one bamboo bowl for herself, and gave the remaining three to Jiang Chaohui and Liu Jing. She also said to Xiao Yuling: "The one in your hand is yours."

Xiao Yuling asked in surprise: "You made it for us."

"What else? Can I use so much by myself?" Lan Xi looked at Xiao Yuling speechlessly and said.

"Why can't one person use so much? It can hold vegetables, soup, fruit, and water."

Lan Xi said speechlessly: "You are just playing a rebel, right? Don't you see where we are now? What are we here for?"

"That's right! We are in the mountains now, how can we cook so many dishes?"

Soon the pheasant and rabbit were roasted. Lanxi picked up the knife and cut the meat slices and placed them on the washed leaves.

Lanxi brought the cooked porridge down, filled a bowl for herself, and said, "Serve yourselves."

Lanxi also had a piece of venison roasted by guard Jiang Chaohui. To be honest, it didn't taste very good.

The group finished their lunch and continued to move forward. Suddenly, Xiao Yuling exclaimed in a low voice: "There is a wild goat." Then she took out an arrow and shot it out.

When Lanxi looked over, he saw that the arrow had been shot out, and he quickly shot a sword and shot away Xiao Yuling's arrow.

Xiao Yuling said with displeasure: "What do you mean?"

Lanxi glanced at her and explained, "That was a pregnant ewe. We have rules when we hunt. We can't kill pregnant female animals."

Jiang Chaohui nodded and said, "Indeed, animals also need to rest and recuperate! Otherwise, it would be like exhausting the resources to catch the most fish."

Lanxi nodded and said, "Since there is a lone pregnant goat here, then this husband must have a flock of sheep."

After Lanxi finished speaking, she started looking along the trail, and sure enough, on the other side of the hillside, there was a group of wild goats grazing.

A group of people excitedly took bows and arrows, drew their bows and shot arrows towards the herd of wild goats.

Lanxi also shot two arrows and caught two wild goats.

They stayed in the mountains for two days and one night before coming out. Jiang Chaohui, with the help of several guards, hunted a wild buffalo as he wished.

Lanxi also hunted a wild bull, but she sold it. After the sale, she kept the two goats and gave one to each of the two mountain chiefs.

After seeing them off, Lanxi returned to taking care of the children, but it didn't last long because her wedding was brought forward, so Lanxi also became busy.

Since Lanxi's wedding date was too tight, she had to speed up the process. The first step, the matchmaker on the woman's side went to the man's side to propose marriage, and the matchmaker on the man's side discussed the marriage matters with the woman, had been completed.

A matchmaker is responsible for coordinating the two families, but the two parties have already reached a consensus and do not need mediation.

So we just skipped the first step of proposing marriage - "offering the betrothal gift", in which the girl's family entrusts a matchmaker to go to the boy's family to propose marriage and express the willingness to marry. It's already been done.

The steps for matching a marriage: asking for the name. Xia had already consulted a fortune teller and compared the horoscopes of both of them, so it was naturally a success.

What is being done now is the engagement step, where the woman gives the man a betrothal gift, indicating a formal proposal.

Although Lan Xi didn't care, Xie Chen and the others did. Moreover, for the convenience of the puppet in the future, she couldn't let anyone gossip about her.

However, Xia has already prepared the betrothal gifts, and Lanxi only needs to send them along.

Early that morning, Lanxi dressed in new clothes and followed Xia and several cousins, as well as several cousins ​​with close blood relations, carrying a pair of wild geese, two deerskins, five pieces of red, black and light red silk, and three boxes of various other items, a total of six betrothal gifts, and went to the clan leader's house with music and drums.

The wild geese and deerskin were made by Lanxi herself. The wild geese symbolize loyalty and trustworthiness, while the deerskin represents marriage and auspiciousness. The colored cloth is five pieces of silk, mostly black and red, namely Xuanxun. Black represents heaven, which is the main yang; red represents the earth, which is the main yin. These two colors together represent the combination of yin and yang, indicating that the marriage is in accordance with the will of heaven.

This betrothal gift plus 10 taels of silver was considered very sincere in the countryside, so there was no difficulty at all and it was passed smoothly, which also marked the completion of the engagement.

The next step is to ask for a date. When Xia and the clan leader discussed the horoscope, they asked for a few auspicious dates. The date they discussed privately was the sixth day of next month, which was neither too rushed nor too late.

But after what happened last time, the date was changed to March 3. Now it has been officially confirmed and will not be changed easily.

Time flies, and March 3th is here in a blink of an eye. Lanxi's house is decorated in red, and all you can see is red.

In the early morning, the sun shines through the paper window, and the faint golden light sprinkles in the yard. Lanxi is wearing a bright red dress, gold ornaments on her head, and a big red flower on her chest.

Lanxi, under Xia's instructions, mounted the horse bought by Xie Shan. Following the process in the original owner's memory, he rode in front of the invited guard of honor.

Lanxi held the reins and rode on horseback, leading the grand procession of brides to the clan leader's home. The sound of horse hooves attracted the attention of the villagers who had gathered there long ago.

There were even children shouting from behind, "Go pick up the bride, go pick up the bride."

The wedding procession will go around the village, and the scene is very lively. On both sides of the road, villagers gather together and chatter, and laughter can be heard from time to time. The sound of gongs and drums, firecrackers, and cheers of the crowd are intertwined.

The wedding procession marched through the tree-lined fields and arrived at the clan leader's home. Outside the clan leader's home, there were even more people following along to watch the excitement because of the large number of people.

As the team approached, firecrackers started to pop, and the clan leader's house was decorated in a festive mood, with red everywhere. A joyful atmosphere filled the air.
