Chapter 36: Gu Qing
On the second day, duckweed and Xiaowa slept directly into the afternoon. Halfway through, the little baby woke up hungry and saw the food that Xuanniao had bought from nowhere, she thanked the lantern, and fell asleep after eating.
She slept really well this night, but she kept dreaming.
I dreamed that I was lying on a soft marshmallow, floating high in the air.
The feeling was unusually warm. This warmth gives people an infinite sense of security.
She is a very insecure person, from childhood to adulthood, her parents have told her to be obedient.
So, she was very well-behaved and more obedient. But there was nothing she did that she did not do. She desperately wants to be a good child so that her father and mother can give her more love.
But so. It's not that he was sold by his father for fifty taels of silver. If it weren't for her sister, she would have married that greasy and foul-smelling middle-aged uncle by now. To be a concubine, she is still so young.
Even in her dreams, thinking of this, she still felt uncomfortably tight.
But luckily, she met duckweed. and, now, Xuanniao.
They are demons who are kinder than people.
"Get up, little baby, we haven't opened for many days, and we must earn enough money to come back today. The duckweed's voice rang in my ears.
Xiaowa covered her head and said dissatisfiedly: "Sister is so sleepy, I still want to sleep." ”
"Hurry up, the sun is about to set. If you were in Kunlun Mountain, you would be caught and fed to the big birds. Duckweed laughed and frightened.
Xiaowa was still very sleepy, half-asleep and looked at the duckweed, and then said coquettishly: "Sister, didn't you just make a fortune last night? Can't you go today?"
"No, you can't. Duckweed knocked on Xiaowa's head and said angrily, "We haven't been to set up a stall for many days, if we don't go again, this Gusu may forget that there is a female Taoist priest who is proficient in fortune telling." When the time comes, people will forget about us, how will they do business in the future?"
"If the baby is tired, I can accompany the master. A male voice sounded, it was the voice of Xuanniao.
Xiaowa's heart trembled, and she immediately turned over, and said to duckweed with a smile: "Sister, I'll go, I'll go." You can't leave me alone at the inn if you have any men. ”
Duckweed smiled: "Little baby is so good, wait for the reward for you to drink two more bowls of mung bean water." Are you hungry yet, let's eat something more and go. ”
"Good. The little baby replied cheerfully.
After the meal, duckweed, little baby, and a red lantern came to the familiar willow tree.
Of course, here is only duckweed and baby familiarity.
The duckweed hung the lantern on the willow tree, and while there was no one around, he whispered: "Xuanniao, I will wronged you for the time being." Today, you dressed up as a lantern first, and I wanted you to turn into a bird, but there happened to be a lack of lanterns here, so I had to wronged you. ”
"As long as you follow the master, Xuanniao will not be wronged no matter what. The lantern replied gently and deferentially.
After a while, the sky in Gusu had slowly darkened, and the heat was not so heavy. The guests are getting up slowly, too.
Many people were pleasantly surprised when they saw duckweed coming again: "The lady is here again, we all thought that the lady was traveling all over the world, and I was afraid that she would not stay in Gusu." ”
"Traveling all over the world?" Duckweed smiled, "Of course I want to come, Gusu is so good, I am reluctant to leave." I guess I'll have to wait for a while before leaving. ”
"Duckweed lady, this little sister next to you is a good water spirit, and she also follows you to cultivate?" a stunned young man teased.
Duckweed was not angry, and said with a smile: "Of course, this is my little junior sister, and she will follow me to travel everywhere." ”
The little baby also laughed, and her hand did not stop playing with the papyrus. For many days, most of the people who come to fortune telling are nothing more than those short things in the parents, which is really boring.
She was bored thinking that she should know more. It would be nice if many good stories could be written down and written in a book. Liu Jiuli, Ye Yu, Taojing, and Ah Lian, they are all poor and lovely people.
Although their stories are very different, they all touch her.
Duckweed is very enthusiastic about telling the fortunes of all kinds of people, but what she thinks in her heart is different from that of Xiaowa.
Mortals are very different, and there are so many subtle changes in everyone's feelings. Although many times, they ask for the same thing, but if you look closely, the beginning and the end of the story are very different.
She was very happy in her heart, it turned out that the world was so fun.
No wonder, no wonder.
No wonder the red pine nuts came and never left.
She has lived tastelessly in Kunlun Mountain for 10,000 years, and now, she really regrets it.
How interesting the world is.,It's just a book of words.。
"Lady, lady?" Duckweed was pondering, not noticing when a little girl who looked like she was just in front of the stall, blushing and bowing her head as she screamed.
Duckweed looked at the blushing girl in front of her, felt very cute, and apologized for her distraction just now: "I'm really embarrassed, do you want divination or fortune telling?"
"No problem. The girl smiled very gently at the duckweed, lowered her head again, and whispered, "The slave family wants to come to divination." ”
"Good. Duckweed smiled, "What do you want to do? Is it your own karma?"
The girl's face turned even redder, her head buried in the ground, and she said very embarrassedly, "It's not karma. Slave ...... The slave family has already married. ”
Duckweed covered her lips and smiled: "Madame, don't be embarrassed. If you want to divinate something, just tell me directly, there is no one else here. ”
The girl still seemed to be very embarrassed, and said shyly: "The slave family is called Gu Qing, and the lady can call me Qing'er." I just got married to my husband in the first month of this year, and it has been more than half a year now. Husband...... Husband, he is going to Beijing next year to take the exam, so I want to help him calculate whether he can pass the exam. ”
"Qing'er doesn't have to be shy. There are too many ladies who come to me to calculate the future of their husbands, but they are the first one who is as shy as you. Duckweed smiled and poured a bowl of tea and said, "I like Qing'er very much, if you don't dislike my tea, drink it slowly." ”
Gu Qing thanked him: "Of course I don't dislike it. ”
Duckweed took a piece of paper and said to Gu Qing with a pen: "Please also ask you to give me the eight characters of your husband's birthday." ”
Gu Qing took it and wrote it, it was a very delicate hairpin.
Duckweed took it, looked at it, couldn't help frowning, and asked a little worriedly: "Qing'er, I don't know if there is a question to ask?"
"Speak. ”
Duckweed hesitated and asked, "How does Qing'er's husband treat you on weekdays, how does he treat his father and mother, and besides, have you ever known each other before?"
Gu Qing frowned a little, as if he didn't understand why duckweed asked like this, but he still replied with a red face very politely: "My husband is very good to me on weekdays, although he is always busy with his studies, and now he is in Beijing to take the exam, and he is not at home. But occasionally when it's empty, I'll write back. Gu Qing's face turned red again, and she seemed to be very shy and said, "My mother-in-law and father-in-law treat me very kindly, and my husband is also very filial on weekdays. We are matchmakers, although we haven't known each other for long, his character should be excellent. ”
Duckweed's brows furrowed tighter and tighter, this man should obviously be the heinous number of lives.
How could it be......
