Chapter 2 Marriage Worship
The busiest time of the day has passed, but the increasingly lively market has just begun.
When Zhu Xi is free, he likes to lean against the doorrail, quietly watch the street where people come and go, and appreciate the prosperity of Taiyuan Mansion. It is not so much that he is appreciating this prosperity, but that Zhu Xishi is paying attention to the trend.
The women who laughed and walked by on the street from time to time, their clothes, their dress, their headdresses, their smiles and cheeks, were the focus of Zhu Xishi's attention.
Zhu Xishi, who was fascinated for a while, unconsciously imitated the woman with Nalan's fingers slightly curled, and made the same pose, but the street seemed to explode at this time.
"Mom!"
Two men who were eating fritters and drinking soy milk next door witnessed this terrible scene with their own eyes, and at the same time sprayed each other with a mouthful of soy milk. One fainted on the spot, the other hid his face, weeping bitterly and howling: "Blind, blind!" ”
Zhu Xishi, who was immersed, was ridiculed by everyone, and immediately put away his gaffe, and scolded on the street: "What to see!" Does the old lady want you to see it? It's disgusting, go home and see your mother! ”
The rest of the survivors on the street, almost blindfolded, quickly evaded, and snickered: what a sin, a sin! Early in the morning, I met the pig Meng Chun!
lowered his head and looked at his little finger, which was as fat as a sausage, Zhu Xishi was also stunned in his heart: How do you feel that you have gained weight again?
I was angry and slammed it onto the dough that was fermented on the board. It's really hurtful, I am this fermented dough, day and night, I know that it swells!
At this time, a few mothers-in-law who were visiting the market walked towards the door of the Xi Shi bun shop, and greeted Zhu Xi with a smile: "Xi Shi, rest here for you." ”
"It's Aunt Gan. Sit down, finished shopping for the morning market? Seeing that it was Aunt Gan and her party in the neighborhood, Zhu Xishi put away his angry face and replied politely.
"Not yet. After walking around for half a circle, I want to find a place to rest when my feet are tired. ”
From the copper kettle with boiling water on the stove, Zhu Xishi stepped forward to pour a cup of hot water for several mothers-in-law, and poured it carefully.
"I said Xi Shi, their big men are not sensible, don't be like them, add to your heart."
Aunt Gan, who took the hot water, was a little indignant and complained for Zhu Xishi. At this moment, she pretended to be nothing, and cleared up: "How can you meet them in the same way?" I've been used to it for a long time. ”
The other mothers-in-law around Aunt Gan covered their mouths and snickered. Zhu Xishi knew what it meant by looking at his eyes, and he endured it to this point, and it didn't matter if he was laughed at twice; But it seems that these broken-mouthed women don't want to miss the fun, and they are adding oil and vinegar to the side.
"I said Xi Shi, you are a girl in your early twenties, and if you don't lose this fat, no one dares to ask for it."
"Don't worry about Aunt Wang, I have hands and feet, and I don't have to worry about food and clothing, but I'm still afraid of these?"
Zhu Xishi replied angrily, the three aunts and six mothers-in-law got together, and they had nothing to do to find a break! Aunt Wang's eyes were as if they had been smeared with oil, and she looked at Zhu Xishi's figure back and forth, and said a sentence again.
"That's not what I said, Shih Tzu. As the saying goes, gold and silver can't be worth an old companion. If there is a man in the family, this heart should always be more steady. You, don't be bored all day long, visit the temple gate more, and worship the Bodhisattva; The more God worships, the more he blesses nature. ”
These words undoubtedly add fuel to the fire. If the old lady can marry or not, will it hinder you, take a at your disposal! Zhu Xishi really wanted to roar at Aunt Wang, who was looking for fault.
But before Zhu Xi was angry, the topic of Aunt Wang suddenly changed again.
"That's right! Speaking of worshipping God and asking for marriage, the old body remembered a very interesting thing. Aunt Wang slapped the table foot excitedly, and her expression became eyebrows and danced.
"Let me tell you, when it comes to seeking marriage, the Yuelao Temple of Tianlong Mountain, thirty miles outside the city of Taiyuan Mansion, is the spirit of every request!"
"Really?" The atmosphere took a sharp turn, and all the women at the table, including Zhu Xishi, couldn't help but wonder like this.
Mrs. Wang raised her thigh and slapped it, like a packing ticket, and played with it: "What is my mother-in-law doing tricks?" The daughter of Lao Song of the Liuwu Street Shochu Shop, twist, everyone knows it. ”
The twist in the mouth of this Wang Pozi is also the number one person in Taiyuan Mansion. People are not as fat as Zhu used to be, but because of chickenpox, a face is ruined, and it is as ugly as a toad. People who have seen her secretly call her "ghost sorrow", and she belongs to the same series of hated marriages as Zhu Xishi.
The ugly girl has a trick, and the trick is uglier than the ugly, so she naturally comes hard. Zhu Xishi was curious, what is the great anecdote about this "ghost and sorrowful" twist.
"I heard that two days ago, someone went to the old Song family to propose marriage, and they also gave a dowry!"
"My Buddha Grandpa!" Suddenly, Zhu Xishi on the side exclaimed, isn't this a great irony.
"Legendary. Privately, the news has spread! It is said that this 'ghost is sorrowful', and I went to the Yuelao Temple of Tianlong Mountain, and I fell within a few days of coming back. What's even more surprising is that people want to marry the twist of the old Song family! ”
"Aunt Wang, is that man's brain burned out? Otherwise, it would be for the old Song family's wealth. ”
When Aunt Wang looked at Zhu Xi with a solemn expression, she shook her fingers and denied her guess: "Xi Shi, you are wrong." I heard that the man's family background is solid! It's not a door-to-door son-in-law, who eats soft rice. God! ”
I'm in tears! Zhu Xishi was speechless for a moment, petrified in place, really let this "ghost see sorrow" bump into someone who is not afraid of ghosts? It's unfair, it's unfair!
All of a sudden, the twist in Zhu Xishi's heart put on a halo of sacred worship, which made him so helpless!
Aunt Wang swallowed her saliva and added meaningfully: "So, this month the old temple is really a god." If you're worried about getting married, you might as well go there and try it! Hang that red line high, and a happy marriage can't stop it! ”
Zhu Xishi's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he hurriedly took Aunt Wang's hand and asked, "Auntie, don't fool me!" I can count on you for guidance on my life's events. ”
"It's all from the neighbors, what am I trying to do with you?" Aunt Wang picked up the hot water, moistened her throat, and said: "Xi Shi, to be honest, sincerity is spiritual." You might as well try your luck there, and maybe you will have a good marriage! ”
Zhu Xishi, who nodded like pounding garlic, looked at Aunt Wang at this time, like a lighthouse in the ocean, guide! A word to wake up the dreamer.
After talking to Aunt Wang in detail, Zhu Xishi's heart became even hotter. Raise your oily face and gaze at the sky; The Tianlong Mountain hidden among the clouds in the south of Taiyuan City seems to exude a mysterious golden light.
At this time, Zhu Xi couldn't stop smirking: Grandpa Yue, I'll come! You must bless me and marry a good man!
