Chapter 4: The Eve of Marriage
The east courtyard is the residence of the ghost, and at the gate of the courtyard, a green-faced and fanged evil ghost is standing there, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Zhang Xue skillfully took out three sandalwood sticks from the basket and lit them, put them on the incense burner next to it, smiled at it, and said, "It's time for supper." ”
The green ghost nodded and smiled at Zhang Xue, but this smile was a little terrifying and intoxicating, which made people shudder.
The first time I saw the green ghost, it was five years ago, and I was scared and cried, which made Zhang Ghost suddenly panic and comfort, and after a long time, I was not afraid.
The green ghost is the war spirit that Zhang Ghost picked up from the battlefield, although he doesn't remember what happened before his death, but he is still a demon who knows his mistakes and changes them.
Zhang Xue walked into the courtyard and came to a room with a familiar way, the light inside was still on, and when she was a little worried about whether to go in, the door opened.
Zhang Ghost looked down at Zhang Xue standing in front of the door and said, "Come in, it's a little cold at night, don't be cold." ”
Zhang Xue snorted, walked into the room, stood up obediently, and apologized very seriously: "I'm sorry, brother ghost, I let Mo Qing go." ”
Zhang Ghost sighed faintly, reached out and touched her head, pulled her to sit down, and said, "Xue'er doesn't have to apologize, she didn't do anything wrong." ”
Zhang Xue sat down, lowered her head, and said in a low voice, "However, I put away the soul suppression talisman and also destroyed the formation, allowing Mo Qing to escape, isn't the ghost brother angry?"
Ghost Zhang smiled and said, "How could I be angry with Xue'er? He ran away, and he can catch it again." ”
Hearing Zhang Gui's words, looking at him full of confidence, Zhang Xue was speechless, and Bai was worried. Then he asked, "Brother Ghost, will I die?"
"No, as long as I'm still here, even Lord Yama can't take you away. Ghost Zhang said seriously.
Zhang Xue took out a bun from the basket and wanted to give it to Ghost Zhang, hearing his words, seeing his serious expression, she subconsciously took a bite of the bun and ate it, saying, "Brother Ghost... Eat steamed buns. ”
Zhang Ghost looked at Zhang Xue with tears in her eyes and was moved to cry, took the bun she had bitten, and ate it in a big gulp, she was still like this, easy to be moved, such a person is the most likely to be deceived and hurt.
This night, Zhang Xue talked a lot, chatted and fell asleep on the table.
Zhang Ghost picked up Zhang Xue and went to bed, hugged her, and whispered, "Fool..."
In the ancestral hall, Mo Qing sat lazily on the Taishi chair, with his feet on the table, slowly stirring the golden silk jade fan in his hand, looking at the bright moon, his eyes revealing a trace of sadness.
Yin marriage, also known as underworld marriage, is to find a spouse for the deceased, bury them together, and become husband and wife.
And Zhang Xue's secret marriage is a living person looking for a dead person's spouse, not a joint burial, but a fake ghost marriage, although they become husband and wife, but there is no need to be buried together.
When the sun was three poles, Zhang Xue woke up, rubbed her eyes, and there was no figure of Zhang Ghost in the house. Looking down at a note left on the desktop, it reads: Xue'er, I have something to go out, and wait for me to come back with peace of mind.
Zhang Xue just said: "Hmm... I'm out and busy again..."
Zhang Xue walked out of the east courtyard and glanced at the green ghost, during the day, the green ghost hid in the worship house next to the door to avoid direct sunlight.
When I got home, I saw my grandmother and mother walking out of the door together.
Zhang Xue came to them and said, "Grandma, mother, are you going out too?"
"Well, Xue'er, you have to stay at home obediently, and I will go out with Zhu'er to buy wedding supplies. Zhang Tianjun said, kindly touching Zhang Xue's head.
Zhang Xue nodded and said, "Well, I know." ”
Huang Jiaozhu said, "It's not too early, mother-in-law, it's time to go." ”。
Zhang Tianjun nodded, and Huang Jiaozhu helped Zhang Tianjun to leave.
Zhang Xue walked into the house, went to the ancestral hall first, and saw that Mo Qing was still there and did not leave.
Mo Qing sat on the Taishi's chair, the golden silk jade fan in his hand swayed slightly, blowing gusts of yin wind.
"Are you hungry? I'll get you something to eat. Zhang Xue walked in and asked.
"Not hungry, you don't know spells?" Mo Qing asked.
"I don't understand, grandma said that Xue'er doesn't need to learn spells, and the ghost brother also said that with him, Xue'er must be fine. Zhang Xue said.
Mo Qing nodded, looked at Zhang Xue's small figure, and gradually left the ancestral hall.
Zhang Xue jumped out of the chair, came to Mo Qing and said, "You go...", and then picked up the remaining buns and baskets on the table and left.
Mo Qing watched Zhang Xue leave, smiled, and said softly, "I, Mo Qing, am a man of words, I will marry you when I say that I will marry you, how can I not believe in my words?"
Under the peach tree next to the ancestral hall, Zhang Yan looked at Mo Qing coldly, and the emotions in his eyes were very complicated.
Mo Qing just smiled faintly and sat there, playing with the golden silk jade fan.
At dusk, Zhang Tianjun and Huang Jiaozhu came back together, and there was a pile of bride price wedding supplies behind them.
Although it is surrounded by mountains, there is still something that should be in this town.
Zhang Yan was playing with Zhang Xue in the yard, the two kicked the shuttlecock, Zhang Yan looked at Zhang Xue, listened to her laughter, and felt even more heartbroken.
Zhang Tianjun walked in the door, came directly to the ancestral hall, passed by the courtyard, and glanced at Zhang Yan.
In the ancestral hall, Mo Qing sat on the coffin and looked coldly at Zhang Tianjun who came over.
"The bride price has been arranged, when will you marry Xue'er?" Zhang Tianjun sat down and said, pouring himself a cup of tea.
"Anytime, but I have one condition. Mo Qing said.
"What conditions? Didn't Ghost Zhang agree to your conditions?" Zhang Tianjun frowned, looked at Mo Qing, and said in a deep voice.
"He's him, you're you, it's the same thing, you just have to say yes or no. Mo Qing said faintly, the jade fan in his hand was slightly fanned, and a gust of yin wind came out.
Zhang Tianjun lowered his head and pondered, and said for a long time: "As long as I can do it with my old body, and I don't force others to do it, I can." ”
Mo Qing looked at Zhang Tianjun indifferently, and said sarcastically: "Return my coffin body to the Qin tomb the same way, and within thirty days, you must return to the throne." Otherwise, your people will all have a curse in you, which will be passed down from generation to generation, and will never be erased. ”
Zhang Tianjun nodded, looked at Mo Qing and said, "Okay, I'll send it back." ”
"Dowry, you can choose nine of the things in the tomb and bring them out. Mo Qing said.
"It's stingy. Zhang Yan, who was eavesdropping next to him, muttered in a low voice, and behind him was Zhang Xue.
"This is the rule, if you take more or less, you will die. Mo Qing glanced coldly at Zhang Yan behind the wooden pillar and said softly.
Zhang Yan walked out of the wooden pillar and glared at him fiercely, even if he was his brother-in-law soon, but he would not admit it!
Zhang Xue saw her brother Zhang Yan walk out, and also walked out, looking at Mo Qing sitting on the coffin, his figure looming, thinking to herself, is he hungry?
