Chapter 6: Marry a god and don't be a mortal concubine
The weather has been bad for the past few days, cold and cold, and it seems to be snowing. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The Peach Blossom family still got up early, Peach Blossom deliberately dressed up a little, applied incense powder, and sipped rouge, which was originally a rare beauty, but this was a little light, but it was not as beautiful as an ordinary daughter in the world, but there was a bit of the fairy posture of the Nine Heavens Xuannu.
Today, the Tao family is going to the ancestral hall with the head of Xiagu Village to make voluntary sacrifices. The sooner this happens, the better, in case the Gu family knows about it, send the sacrifice to the ancestral hall in advance, and this plan will be over.
The village chief grew up watching the peach blossoms since he was a child, and he also knew about the Tao family, and he had thought of ways at home, but it didn't work, the idea that the peach blossoms thought of was indeed the least loss and the most profitable, but it was a pity that such a flower-like female doll, with such a look, it was not difficult to marry an official eunuch. With such a lofty arrogance, marrying Gu Shouen will only kill early. It's also difficult for this girl to come up with such a solution, which makes her suffer.
Although the second elder of the Tao family was unwilling, he was forced to have no choice but to watch his daughter die, just stabbing him in the heart with a knife. Peach Blossom didn't let Peach Root go with him, after all, he was young and full of anger, so he watched his sister go to death, and if he did something irreparable on impulse, it would be in vain for Peach Blossom.
What's more, the documents for voluntary travel only need the consent of the second elder of the family and the village head.
In order to avoid the cold wind, the village chief specially borrowed a carriage, and after the group got into the car, a whip sounded, and the carriage slowly went on the road.
Looking at the reluctant look on his daughter's pale and calm little face, Peach Blossom's father hopes that this road will never end.
Half an hour later, the carriage stopped in front of the ancestral hall, Peach Blossom Daddy jumped out of the car, helped Peach Blossom Niang, took over Peach Blossom's cold little hand, Peach Blossom shook Daddy's rough and dark big hand, smiled, jumped out of the car, and looked up at the huge and ancient plaque above his head - "Ancient Family Ancestral Hall".
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
The patriarch - that is, the old man of the ancient family, Gu Sihai, is reading in the study, the red charcoal fire bakes the room warm, making people drowsy, these days he has a lot of heart for his son's affairs, I don't know how he fell in love with the girl in the ancient village, even if he has a little appearance, and he is not a man of heaven, how can he be so obsessed, let him inherit the favor of the hanging master, presumably he has to pay it back. Tomorrow, let the matchmaker send the scheduled day, the weather is getting colder, and I can't even get out of the door immediately, so I want people to come back and have a good winter.
Suddenly thought of the matter of sacrificing to the mountain god, Gu Sihai was bored again in his heart, the old people of the ancestral hall said that they must sacrifice to the mountain god this year, otherwise in case of a disaster, the ancient village could not be saved, and the ancient village also had a loss. Whoever is willing to push their daughter to a dead end, no matter which family is named, is a matter of family ruin. You can't buy people from the outside, the rules of the ancestors, in order to show sincerity to the mountain god, the mountain god Niangniang is the daughter of the upper and lower ancient villages, and will never find a substitute for another village. Otherwise, the relatives of the mountain god will become outsiders.
The subordinates who sent him to inquire had already given him a list, all of whom were daughters of poor families in Xiagu Village, with a white background and a virgin body. He doesn't want to do this wicked man, but if he can't do this thing, the next patriarch may not be him. It's really boring.
At this moment, someone from outside the door came to report: "Master, the ancestral hall has come to the family of Xiagu Village, asking to see me." ”
Gu Sihai was in a bad mood, and said angrily: "No, say that I'm not there, master." ”
The people outside the door hesitated: "They are here to make sacrifices to the mountain gods." ”
Gu Sihai sat up straight suddenly, he really wanted to sleep with a pillow, and he was worried about this, so he was sent to the door.
Then he rushed to the door and said, "Wait, I'll come." As he spoke, he put on a mink cloak and went out tightly.
When Gu Sihai arrived at the ancestral hall, the other elders of the clan had already arrived, and they must have heard that someone volunteered to make a sacrifice to the mountain god, to see which one couldn't think about it, even if the designated person was appointed at that time, it was not able to hit, so why rush to the road of death.
Sitting down on the mahogany chair in the middle, Gu Sihai looked at the family in front of the hall with low eyebrows and said, "Which one is in front of the hall?" ”
Peach Blossom Daddy raised his head, looked at Gu Sihai with resentment and mockery, and said loudly: "Xia Gu Village, Tao Family." ”
Gu Sihai's hand shook, almost didn't hold the porcelain cup in his hand, and asked in disbelief: "Where... Which one? ”
The sarcasm on Peach Blossom's face became even more obvious, and he said, "Xiagu Village, Peach Family." ”
Gu Sihai slammed the cup on the table and asked in surprise and anger, "What are you doing here?" "Do you want the elders of the clan to make decisions for them? Joke, his son killed his own dog first, and he can't afford to pay the dog and the silver, of course, he has to report to the official, and I'm afraid he won't succeed.
Peach Blossom Father looked at his wife with a sad face, and said: "I heard that this year's ancestral hall is going to sacrifice to the mountain god, and the mountain god Niangniang has not yet been selected, the little girl feels that as a member of the clan, she should share the worries of the clan, so she volunteered... Volunteered to be a sacrificial mouth and married to a mountain god. ”
It turned out that it was ten thousand times more difficult to say such a thing than to hold a strong bow in his hand. Before she finished speaking, Peach Blossom Niang burst into tears.
Peach Blossom looked sorry and stood upright, looking at Gu Sihai with a shocked face.
Gu Sihai was surprised: "You... What did you say? Do you want to make peach blossoms a sacrifice? ”
Peach Blossom Daddy said: "It's Peach Blossom who is willing." ”
Gu Sihai looked at Peach Blossom and said abruptly: "Peach Blossom, making sacrifices is not something that you children can play around." ”
Peach Blossom felt ridiculous when she heard this, and said: "Patriarch, Peach Blossom is not small, this time I didn't come to play, I volunteered to marry the mountain god." Keep the party peaceful. ”
Gu Sihai is almost about to take the case, what does this mean, he would rather marry a virtual mountain god and be a ghost than marry into the Gu family alive? ! How could it be as she wanted!
Gu Sihai groaned slightly, and said: "We can all understand your intentions, but this sacrifice must be from the Gu family, your surname is Peach... Not in line with the requirements. ”
Peach Blossom smiled and said: "My father and I are surnamed Tao, but my mother is more than three generations, and they are all surnamed Gu." Half of this bloodline belongs to the Gu family. Therefore, it is not considered an outsider. ”
Gu Sihai looked back at the elders behind him, asked with his eyes, and the elders nodded in unison, they were indeed Gu family members.
gritted his teeth and said: "If you marry the mountain god, you must not have a marriage contract, and your net worth is innocent." I've heard that you seem to be married. ”
Peach Blossom smiled even brighter, and said: "Patriarch Hui, Peach Blossom has no marriage contract, a few days ago, a matchmaker and aunt came to the door, but it was politely rejected by my father, and the other party did not give a dowry, just verbal." ”
Gu Sihai was speechless, thinking that he would send the letter of appointment tomorrow, and the Tao family signed the name, even if it was decided, he didn't think about it, so he was one step slower.
"Are you really willing to marry the mountain god?" Gu Sihai asked again tentatively, causing the patriarch behind him to look sideways. Since someone volunteered, why is this mother-in-law and mother-in-law?
Peach Blossom nodded, "Voluntary".
"Your parents agree, too?"
Peach Blossom Daddy pulled a handful of Peach Blossom Lady and said categorically: "I agree." ”
Gu Sihai's breath was not smooth, his face was flushed, and he said angrily: "Okay! Good! Good! Since Peach Blossom has such an awareness, the patriarch should be appreciated, come to someone, send the paperwork, and ask the two elders of the Tao family to sign and draw! ”
Peach Blossom stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute, Patriarch thinks that the patriarch should prepare another document for voluntary sacrifice." “
Gu Sihai said, "Why? "Is it a delaying tactic? It's not like, what is the time to delay writing an essay?
Peach Blossom continued: "As far as Peach Blossom knows, there is a difference between voluntary sacrifice and ordinary offerings. ”
Gu Sihai looked back at the old man in the clan, and then at Peach Blossom and said, "What's the difference?" ”
Peach Blossom said: "How to deal with the difference between orphaned and elderly relatives at home." ”
As soon as Peach Blossom finished speaking, the elders behind Gu Sihai were in an uproar, some were confused, some suddenly realized, some touched their beards and nodded, and some sent people to take the classics to collect evidence.
Gu Sihai was stunned, he had never heard of such a rule. What should I do with the family members of the sacrifices? How exactly to dispose of it?
"Ahem... An old man on Gu Sihai's right hand slowly stood up, walked to Gu Sihai's side, and said, "There is indeed such a regulation. There is just no precedent. ”
