Chapter 103: Misunderstanding of the villagers
In the past few days, the women in the village will frequently come to Lu Zhe's house after dinner, although the excuses are different, some come to see Yun Niang, and some ask about their children's learning progress, but the words are the same.
That was the small white porcelain vase that Lu Zhe put in the back room.
"In this way, this hundred flowers and fairies really can't be done now? Zhe Xiaolangjun, you are not allowed to bluff your aunt. Lin Jiang, who was closest to Lu Zhe's family, asked suspiciously,
Lu Zhe hurriedly said that this was the last bottle in the family. This Hundred Flowers Immortal Essence is a high-level secret technique of the Hundred Flowers Sect, which is time-consuming and laborious to make, and it can't be made at all now. If you want to do it, you must at least collect 100 catties and 100 flowers.
"I see. On that day, I always smelled a fragrance on my younger siblings, which turned out to be the essence of these flowers. Lin Jiang remembered Lu Zhe's background, and when he heard that he needed a hundred catties and a hundred flowers, he suddenly realized. immediately taught Lu Zhe a lesson.
"Such a precious thing, why is you a man spilling it on your body indiscriminately, and it is so thick, your A-Niang is just sprinkling a little bit, it's a loser." As he spoke, he was still incomprehensible and slashed Lu Zhe with his hand.
In fact, Lu Zhe knew that the faint fragrance on his mother's body was made of picked petals into sachets, which was far worse than the volatile smell of perfume, and the flower perfume he made was almost the same as the inferior perfume made by those quiet literary and artistic young people in later generations. There is no comparison with the later generations of dior or something. That's why he told Lin Jiang that there were only two bottles of this Hundred Flowers Immortal, one bottle for himself and one bottle for the Shadow Pheasant.
"Auntie let go, Zhezhi knows that she is wrong." Lu Zhe hurriedly admitted his mistake in his loser behavior, and said that he was a big man, and it was useless to keep the pure flowers and fairies, so it was better to be filial to his aunt.
"You, this little man, went out of the mountain once, and you are cunning." After scolding with a smile, Lin Jiang didn't accept it, but after Lu Zhe repeatedly insisted and said that she had something to ask for, she accepted it with a sad face.
"Then the aunt took it cheekily." Taking over the white porcelain bottle with the essence of a hundred flowers written on it, Lin Jiang was silent for a while as if he had made up his mind, and then opened his mouth and said to Lu Zhe:
"Although our mountain gate does not adhere to secular etiquette, my aunt also wants to advise you that if this woman is too old than a man, it is not suitable to marry her."
What the? Lu Zhe looked at Lin Jiang in surprise, with a confused expression, what was he, the aunt of the Lin family, thinking.
"What do you mean by that?" Lu Zhe hurriedly asked.
"What do you mean? Isn't that what you want? This marriage, although the aunt feels that there is something wrong, but the woman of the shadow pheasant, the aunt also thinks it is good, although she does not talk much, but she is diligent and honest, and she has received a heavy gift from you, this matchmaker, the concubine is not appropriate. Seeing Lu Zhe's surprised expression, Lin Jiang became even more determined, thinking that this was the shock that his heart was exposed, with a smug look on his face that your kid was still pretending to be like me just now, and you were still tender.
"Matchmaker? Marriage? When Lu Zhe heard a few words, he was so shocked that he couldn't say a word for a long time, and looked at Lin Jiang in a daze, with a confused expression.
"Hey, hey, hey Accept your gift, and you will wait for good news. Lin Jiang, who felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, turned around and left, thinking about how to do this for Lu Zhe with the sisters in the village.
This is a pitiful, I have no grandmother at a young age, and my aunt doesn't help with these things, who else can help. While thinking about it, Lin Jiang couldn't wait to sum up with the Ying Liu family tonight, how to handle the affairs of the two children. Although the shadow pheasant is a few years older than Lu Zhe, there are no women of the right age in the village, right, and it is not surprising that Lu Zhe has fallen in love with the only girl in the village.
"There are still too few people in our Wuzhuang Temple." Thinking about his child's future marriage, Lin Jiang sighed and decided to let his child have more contact with Lu Yun, lest his child not find a daughter-in-law in the future, and like his father, he could only buy one from outside the mountain.
Yes, there are many families in the village, and the women are bought from outside the mountain, Lu Zhe was a little strange when he first crossed over, if there are only surnames such as Liu, Duan, Tie, Ghost, Lu and so on in the village, and several interconnected marriages, why is there a foreign surname Jiang, Lu Ah or something, Lu Zhe's mother is Lu Lu, and this surname obviously does not belong to one of the nine surnames in the village.
Later, when he overheard Duan Ergou say that he wanted to hunt more and save money to buy a daughter-in-law, Lu Zhe understood that he had bought it.
In this era, human trafficking is legal, and there are many people outside the mountains who do not have enough to eat, and it is even more common to sell their daughters for money and food.
Therefore, in order for the men in the village to have daughters-in-law, the former Wuzhuang Guan would buy some daughters of poor families from outside the mountains as the marriage partners of men in the village, just like in later novels, Xianglin's sister-in-law was sold to the mountains to be a daughter-in-law.
In Lu Zhe's generation, the ratio of men and women is seriously out of balance, and in their generation, there is only one girl, Shadow Pheasant, and she has not been in the mountain for a long time. The others are all Duan Xiaoniang, Yun Niang and little girls like Liu Jialuoli, if you want to follow the practice of intermarriage between the mountain gates, like Lu Zhelin and others, you can't get married until at least your early twenties.
Although he got married in his early twenties, he was considered to be married early in later generations, but in this ancient period when he got married at the age of sixteen, it was extremely late. And at that time, when she got married, the woman was only fourteen or fifteen, and Lu Zhe was doing psychological construction for herself again, and I was afraid that she would not be able to do it. In this way, it would be good to talk about what eugenics, what to talk about the quality of the baby, and to have the next generation.
In fact, you can't blame the ancients, the life expectancy of the ancients is generally not long, generally about 50 years old, 40 years old can call themselves old husbands, according to this conversion comparison, marriage in teenagers, and later generations 25, 6 marriage is about the same.
Because this is the situation in the village, it is natural for Lin Jiang to think that it is normal for Zhe Xiaolangjun, who is already like a young adult, to fall in love with the only school-age girl in the village.
"Auntie, slow down!" Lu Zhe reacted with a confused face, and hurriedly caught up with Lin Jiang's family, so that he could talk about it, so he invited Lin Jiang's family back into the house and asked carefully what was going on.
It turned out that in the past few years, there has been a faint news in the village, that is, this immortal disciple, Zhe Xiaolangjun, has fallen in love with the shadow pheasant of the film family, and even sent a love token.
How could this be, Lu Zhe felt angry and funny, but Lin Jiang's words made him react.
First of all, the shadow pheasant was driven by Mu Seventeen, and Lu Zhe, who never got angry, taught Mu Seventeen a hard lesson, and let Mu Seventeen kneel in front of the Shadow Family all night, and then the Shadow Heron proposed to let the Shadow Pheasant be a maid for the second young master of the Mu family in order to calm the disaster, but it caused Mu Seventeen to kneel at the door all night, Mu Huaiwei came to the door to apologize with a panicked face, and even said that Fu Qian was thin and virtuous, and he didn't dare to be delusional, etc., and then gave a lot of gifts, the whole village could make Mu Huaiwei like this, except for the "Lu Shi" he wanted to worship, who else? Now, even the family heirloom "Hundred Flowers and Immortals" have been given to others, isn't this a real hammer?
I rubbed it, Lu Zhe finally understood, why Duan Ergou didn't come to him these days, not because of the smell of organic fertilizer on his body, but because of the shadow pheasant, because the children in the village, he and the shadow pheasant are close in age, and now it is rumored that he wants to marry the shadow pheasant, and he is naturally not as close as he used to be. Moreover, when the ghost elder taught himself to point points, he also coldly said that the young man was in the right place, which made him inexplicable at that time, so it turned out that this was the case.
No, Lu Zhe wanted to explain to the Lin family's aunt that he targeted Mu Qiqi, not because of the shadow pheasant, but mainly because of their attitude towards Wuzhuang Guan, but it is estimated that Lin Jiang would not understand these things. If he wanted to say that the "Hundred Flowers Fairy" was to thank the Shadow Pheasant for helping him fertilize, and in order to cover the smell of organic fertilizer on his body, it is estimated that Lin Jiang's family would not believe it, the good things handed down by the family were made with time and effort, just to cover the smell of dung? Who believes.
Looking at Lin Jiang's eyes, Lu Zhe was a little helpless, and he immediately reacted, this is ancient times, although the atmosphere is still an ancient era that pays attention to etiquette and religion, these behaviors of himself and the Shadow Pheasant are simply not too normal between men and women in later generations, but in ancient times, it became his own pursuit of the wall crack of the Shadow Pheasant.
A few days ago, I secretly said that I wanted to live like the people of the Zhenguan era, why can't the thinking of later generations change? Lu Zhe knocked on his head a little depressed, so he had to speak.
"I don't hide it from my aunt, my immortal teacher, the ancestor of the Hundred Flowers Sect, once warned Yu Zhe that he must not marry before twenty-two, otherwise there will be a big disaster. And Zhe only has the love of sister and brother for the shadow pheasant, and has no meaning of half of men and women. Lu Zhe couldn't, so he had to move out of his illusory immortal master.
"What? How can there be such a rule? Even immortals can't stop mortals from marrying. Although Lin Jiang's family believed in ghosts and gods very much, in front of the great cause of matchmaking that women loved, she expressed a certain degree of suspicion about Lu Zhe's immortal master for the first time.
"This is the price of philosophy to go to immortality." Lu Zhe smiled bitterly and said, "If you don't comply, disaster will come." ”
What catastrophe is coming, getting married before twenty-two, isn't that enough catastrophe coming? Lu Zhe thought secretly.
"If so, why did you do this to the shadow pheasant, you baby! Ay! With a sigh, Lin Jiang twisted Lu Zhe again.
"Zhe only wanted to view Wuzhuang and farm well that day, and forgot to think about these things." Then, Lu Zhe probably taught Mu Seventeen to fight the arrogance of the Mu family, and sent the perfume because he couldn't bear to see the stinky smell of a girl, so he said it, and asked Lin Jiang's family to help on his behalf, let her help quell the rumors in the village, and told the aunts and sisters-in-law in the village that he didn't have much flowers here.
"What you said at the time, let your aunt help, is this the thing?" Hearing that Lu Zhe asked her to tell the village woman that there was no longer a request for the Hundred Flowers Fairy, Lin Jiang was stunned.
"Originally, there was only this matter, but now there is one more Zhe and Shadow Pheasant is sister and brother relationship, Zhe has no other intentions, and I hope that my aunt will inform everyone in the village together." Lu Zhe smiled bitterly and saluted.
"It's easy." Lin Jiang rubbed Lu Zhe's head, turned around and left with a smile.
Lin Jiang's family really deserved to be the backbone of the gossip group in the village, and it only took half a day for the rumors about Lu Zhe and Shadow Pheasant in the village to come to an abrupt end. Duan Ergou also ran to the door with a red face to apologize to himself, admitting that he had pink eye. Even the ghost elders, looking at their gaze, were much gentler.
It's good to finally get back to normal.
Looking at his sister who was scratching her scalp and doing the application problem, the two dogs were feeding the pandas with bamboo not far away, and the sky was shining in the small courtyard, Lu Zhe let out a long breath, and his heart was extremely relaxed.
