Chapter 645 - 634: Pawn (Additional update as a reward for book friend "Moyan")
Guan Xin looked at him, "What, you want me to not marry?"
"No, no, no," his comrade-in-arms was terrified he really wouldn’t marry. If that happened, would they even be able to leave Qili Village alive?
Didn’t they see how many villagers lined the roads to watch the excitement on their way here?
In a lowered voice, the comrade-in-arms said, "Just pretend everything I said just now was flatulence, let’s hurry up and go, we can’t miss the auspicious time."
Zhou ErLang ran to the relatives carrying the dowry and pulled out several small baskets, which he filled with candy. He handed the baskets to his younger brothers, and together, they distributed the treats to the onlooking villagers and children along the way.
With the distribution, the children went wild, singing nursery rhymes and following behind, all the way until they were two li out of the village, only stopping when the candies Zhou ErLang and his brothers had were all given away.
Manbao was unable to join in the fun and felt incredibly regretful.
Bai Erlang had already run off with the others, chasing after the wedding procession for two li before heading back with a pocket full of joyous candies.
Bai Shan didn’t join in the excitement. He and Manbao went back to her room to talk. "My grandmother found out I’m learning chess, so she had someone make me a chessboard with fine catalpa wood. However, she said I have to find my chess pieces myself. Can you help me?"
"Sure," Manbao thought that Bai Shan wouldn’t be playing chess with Bai Er, so she would likely be the one using it with him, and was naturally willing to help.
Having just sent her older sister off, Manbao felt disconsolate. With her family busy, and no one to play with, she ended up going with Bai Shan to the Bai Family’s place.
