Chapter 131: Prayer on a Moonlit Night
Lin Chun said that Du Juan was afraid that his grandfather would give Huang Que'er to a bad person, and after he heard about this, he thought of his second brother, so he encouraged the second brother to marry Huang Que'er.
He briefly brought the inside story, neither said that Huang Que'er refused to follow his grandfather's arrangement, nor did he say that Huang Que'er fell in love with Xia Sheng, but only said that it was his own idea, and said that he told the second brother, and the second brother was also willing.
Kelin Datou is such a shrewd person, can he still figure this thing out?
Thinking of Xia Sheng's words just now, I guess Huang Que and Xia Sheng must have met each other.
Huang Que'er refused to marry someone else, so the cuckoo would help her sister come out.
The cuckoo didn't dare to find someone else, so he made a match.
Can Lin Chun still help Cuckoo?
Thinking of this, Lin Datou couldn't help but feel proud, and he was full of feelings: he bothered with Baal's calculations, and it was not worth Xia Sheng, the kid, who came forward in person and hooked the hearts of other people's daughters.
The female university is not staying!
Well, in that case, this really can't be careless.
can not only marry a daughter-in-law, but also please the cuckoo, if he doesn't do this, isn't he a big fool!
So, he and his three sons seriously put it together.
"I thought, I have to tell your grandfather about this first. Let him have a bottom in his heart, and he can help talk when the time comes. Lin Datou said.
"No! I can't tell grandpa. Lin Chun disagreed.
"I can't say. Let's be like a person who doesn't have trouble. Xia Sheng said.
"Don't say anything about anyone! Dad, you and Uncle Honest decided this matter. Qiusheng said.
Lin Datou saw that his three sons all said this, so he gave up telling Lin Lizheng.
Then, they discussed the beginning of the Lilly.
Lin Datou said that he wanted to find one that had weight. and inconspicuous things as a gift, because he instructed his daughter-in-law to rummage through the cabinets to search for the gift that the old lady gave her.
"For now, let's use it tightly for Xia Sheng. Don't worry, all of you. Dad, a bowl of water is flat. You will all have in the future. There are four seasons in this year, and none of them can be achieved without it. He was responding to what Xia Sheng had just complained, "Dad, there is only spring in his heart." There is no summer, autumn and winter. "Yes.
The brothers frowned when they heard this.
Xia Sheng looked at Lin Chun with admiration, remembering what he said, telling his father to prepare a dowry for him overnight, and he really said it.
The family deliberated until midnight, making all kinds of speculations about the development of events.
"Dad, are you scared?" Seeing that his father kept frowning, Xia Sheng asked.
"I'm afraid of a bird! Dad told you that the daughter-in-law is going to rob it! Lin Datou said.
The brothers laughed.
Thinking of the battle they were about to face, they were all gearing up.
When it was over, the eldest daughter-in-law cooked some noodles and their father and son ate them. I went to rest.
Lin Chun went to bed and slept for a while, then quietly got up.
He couldn't sleep.
In order to coax his father, he said that he would marry Huang Que Er first, and then think of marrying Du Juan in the future, although it was a roundabout strategy, but he was not without ideas in his heart.
Cuckoo said that her husband in her previous life would come to her, when would he come?
Will it really come?
If he doesn't come, then he'......
Also, what kind of person is Cuckoo's husband?
Will...... Is he her husband in her previous life?
Lin Chun was startled by this sudden thought. Where can I still sleep.
He sat on the bed and thought quietly for a while, coming up with an idea.
So he quietly got out of bed and dressed, and then quietly felt out of the house.
Every morning he has to go out to practice martial arts, therefore. When the family heard the noise, they didn't care. Besides, everyone stayed up late last night. They all slept to death.
There was silence outside, only a full moon shining in the blue sky.
The cold moonlight poured down on the mountain village. Hazy and dreamy, shady and bleak. There is no brightness and warmth of the day, and the mystery and serenity of the night are revealed.
Lin Chun was as light as a cat, and ran out of the village and towards the Yu Niangniang Temple.
When he came to the Fish Niangniang Temple, he tiptoed into the main hall, stood in front of the stone statue of the Fish Niangniang with a fishtail on his body, and looked up at her quietly.
After looking at it for a while, he went around the room on either side.
After making sure that there were no idlers, he returned to the stone statue, carefully took out three incense sticks from his bosom, lit them with flint, and inserted them into the incense burner on the offering table in front of the stone statue.
Then, the boy knelt on the futon, folded his hands, and prayed softly: "Yu Niangniang, I want to know if I am the husband of the cuckoo in his previous life. If so, please tell me in your dreams. ”
After speaking, he kowtowed respectfully three times.
After kowtowing, he didn't get up immediately, but thought quietly for a while, and then said softly: "If not, please also ask Niangniang to tell me in your dream." ”
After speaking, he kowtowed three times again.
Kowtowed and still didn't get up, but put his legs together, sat on the futon, closed his eyes, put his hands together, sank into the dantian, and meditated.
Gradually, he fell into an ethereal realm of forgetting things and me.
The Niangniang Temple fell silent again, and the young man sitting in front of the stone statue didn't know whether he was asleep or what, and there was no sound.
I don't know how long it took, but the sound of roosters in the ancient village came.
At the same time, another group of people came to the field, but they were four or five mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.
With baskets on their arms, they whispered as they walked, and came to the Fish Niangniang Temple.
Getting closer, the sound of the voice alarmed Lin Chun.
He immediately came to his senses and listened.
I suddenly remembered that today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and every first and fifteenth day of the new year, there are people in the village who come to this Niangniang temple to burn incense and worship. Not only the people from Quanshui Village came, but even the people from Lishugou Village came specially to come. It is said that this fish lady is very effective, and she should ask for anything.
These people must have gotten up early to burn incense and make offerings.
He guessed correctly, but he didn't expect that the person who came would be Aunt Huang and her mother's family.
As the group approached, the sound of conversation intermittently reached Lin Chun's ears:
“…… I thought it would take some effort, but I didn't know that she was going back to her parents' house. Even her sister-in-law and sister-in-law have to leave, that's even better! Go back today...... The old five families have prepared the dowry, and the eighteenth will bring Tianzi here. My father and I called the boss to come and settle the matter of the finch. Save yourself from talking to her. That's a shrew, and a good thing can make her yellow. ”
"I said, why didn't you tell your eldest nephew last night."
"Why is the cuckoo going too?"
"I want to play along. She is the most partial to this girl. Take her with you, of course. It's okay if the cuckoo is gone. This girl is even more difficult than her mother. If she's at home, something might go wrong. She's a smart one again. Still...... Oh, it's here. Do not say. Sins, sins, sins! Fish girl, I also like cuckoos. It's this girl who kisses her grandfather, not us......"
While he was speaking, the people entered the temple.
Mrs. Huang remembered the origin of the cuckoo and the fish lady, so she was so frightened that she quickly knelt down, nagging and explaining, for fear that the mother would blame her.
Someone next to him placed the offerings in the basket on the offering table, some lighting incense, some lighting candles. The temple lit up, and then they came and kowtowed one after another.
After Huang Damiang kowtowed, she got up to let them, and wondered: "It's early in the morning, this mat is not icy at all, and it's still hot." ”
Hearing this, the others were even more awe-struck and bowed down reverently.
It turned out that the reason why Mrs. Huang's family waited until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month to leave. It is to come to the Niangniang Temple as soon as possible to offer incense. Because the first and fifteenth days of the new year are the days of incense, the incense is sincere. Otherwise, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is the Lantern Festival, and the family will be reunited. Very few people stay at relatives' homes and do not return.
They gossiped casually, but they didn't expect that Lin Chun would listen to it.
When they reached the temple, he dodged into the next room.
Outside. One by one, the women knelt down and begged the fish lady, and some of them wanted to have a son. There are those who seek to eliminate disasters and diseases, and there are those who seek wealth. There are also those who seek a good son-in-law for their daughters, all sorts of things.
After everyone had bowed, Aunt Huang knelt down again.
Because she had just said a few gossips about the cuckoo, she suddenly remembered that the cuckoo was very favored by the fish lady, and she was so frightened that she knelt down to ask for sin, and forgot what she wanted to ask for.
At this time, I heard her whisper and prayed: "Please ask the fish lady to bless my Xiaobao and Xiaoshun to be safe...... The whole family is smooth...... The old woman has no other requirements, it's my eldest daughter-in-law, it's too unfilial......"
She counted how Feng was disrespectful to her, how she taught her daughter not to kiss her grandparents, to send food to others to eat, not to give it to her grandparents, to give shame to her in-laws in public, etc., etc.
It was said very sadly and touchingly, and the people listening next to him wiped their tears.
Lin Chun listened in the side room with a stunned face.
Before she could wake up from the shock, she heard a daughter-in-law whisper: "Auntie, since my cousin-in-law and her sister-in-law are going to leave in two days, and we have taken the cuckoo with us, it is better to take the opportunity to settle the relationship between Niu'er and the cuckoo." Wouldn't it be enough to have an uncle and a big cousin in charge. ”
Lin Chun suddenly felt a surge of anger rushing up, and secretly scolded the old witch.
Du Juan taught him a lot, but he didn't instill in him filial piety, so he didn't have any respect for Father Huang and Aunt Huang.
Holding back the desire to pretend to be a ghost and scare them to death, he continued to listen with bated breath.
I heard Aunt Huang sigh and say, "I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
A mother-in-law said, "Why is it not easy? That's easy. ”
Aunt Huang said: "Wait until I go back and talk to her grandfather about ......."
Niu Erniang knelt down again and begged Yu Niang Niang to fulfill the family affair between the cuckoo and Niu Er.
The chattering and chattering were all over, and the group left.
Lin Chun came out of the back room and looked at the stone statue of the fish lady in a daze.
Last night he slept very soundly, dark and sweet, pure and immaculate, as if he had just closed his eyes and opened them again after taking a nap. Not to mention that the fish lady dreamed, she didn't even have an ordinary dream.
He wondered in his heart, thinking that Yu Niangniang disdained to give him dreams, right?
If you don't understand, you have to do it.
Hearing another voice coming in the distance, he hurriedly walked out of the Niangniang Temple and went back to the village from the other direction.
After returning to the village, he didn't enter the house, and went directly to the master's house.
Sure enough, the cuckoo has also arrived.
This morning, neither of them dared to get distracted, so they honestly pressed their temperament and practiced hard. When the practice is over, I can't wait to get together and exchange the latest information.
Jiu'er saw something strange and came over.
The cuckoo knew that he couldn't hide it, so he told him too.
After Jiu'er heard this, he immediately became more energetic, complaining that such a big thing, how could he do it without him? At the very least, when he sees something wrong, he can help run errands and deliver a message or something.
Lin Chun said that this matter was a little urgent, and he didn't discuss it first, so he didn't say it.
Because he told the cuckoo about the results of his family's deliberations last night.
The cuckoo was relieved and told him to wait for his news, and their sisters would take down their honest father tonight, and the matter would be the majority.
The three of them were muttering, and Ren Sanhe came over, wondering, "Why don't you leave?" Want to have breakfast at my place? Your sister didn't prepare your share in the morning. ”
The three of them laughed together.
Jiu'er said: "Master, fifteen today." In the evening, you reunite with your teacher and go to my house for a drink at noon. My father instructed me last night to call you and my wife to go. My second uncle brought back a few jars of good wine from outside the mountain, and he was not willing to take them out at thirty nights. ”
Ren Sanhe smiled when he heard this: "Tell your father, I'll go." ”
After laughing for a while, it dispersed.
On the way back, Lin Chun told Cuckoo what her grandmother had said in the temple. (To be continued......)
