Chapter 46: Nine Lotus Roots
When I heard it, I thought: "The effect of each feng shui land is different, the rhinoceros looks at the moon and rises the emperor, but the lotus land has another miraculous effect." β
What is the miracle effect?
The word lotus is derived from Buddhism, and the Bodhisattva's golden body is called the lotus platform.
This living feng shui is called lotus land, and it must have something to do with the Buddha and Bodhisattva.
As the name suggests, the ancestors buried in this place must have been blessed by the Bodhisattva nobles, and the descendants will be auspicious when they turn evil into good fortune.
In other words, the Si family is in trouble.
Still super trouble that can't be cleaned up.
Otherwise, Si Pingzhang would not have thought of relying on the Lotus Land to solve this crisis, after all, with the strength of their Si family, there were very few things that could make it difficult for them.
Xie Sifei's gossip soul was burning, and he wanted to ask what trouble.
"I don't know."
I gave him it unceremoniously: "But I only know that if we can't find this lotus land, we will be driven out of Yuzhou, so don't leave yet!" β
The group thought so much and packed their things and went.
The old man didn't have to follow the old man to watch the faΓ§ade, Jiang Sichen left the small spot for the old man to be his companion, and then drove the Maybach and took us to the water hyacinth swing.
On the way, I noticed a black Lincoln quietly following behind us, and I couldn't help but sigh that the people of the Fengchi Heavenly Master's Mansion were really inseparable.
After a long bump in the distance, we arrived at the place.
The geese echo at the foot of a mountain, but everywhere is a plain-like place, surrounded by mountains, and the reeds are wafting everywhere, and the cooking smoke curls up, which has a unique local atmosphere.
When we arrived at the entrance of a village, we asked a fellow villager how to go to the water hyacinth swing.
After all, the whole goose reverberates too much, and there is quite a posture that stretches for thousands of miles, which has to be found for a month.
Who knew that when the fellow heard that we were going to the geese echoing, his head suddenly shook like a rattle: "I can't go, I can't go!" Hurry up and go, it's too late to die. β
"From out of town, huh?"
After speaking, he began to count us again: "I must have heard about the water hyacinth field on the Internet and came to explore, right?" β
"You young people! I have nothing to do every day, it's really Yuan Longping who makes you full! β
I hurriedly explained that we were not here to explore, and that it was really important to find a water hyacinth field, and I stuffed a few hundred yuan for the fellow and asked him to lead the way.
Who knew that the fellow waved his hand again and again: "Don't dare, don't dare, there are doll snakes in that place, I don't dare to go!" Na! Call that man, and he will dare to go! β
After speaking, he pointed to a person who had just passed, and shouted at the same time: "How many handfuls of lotus!" β
The person who was called a few handfuls of lotus turned his head instantly, and replied unhappily: "Claws!?" β
"Chicken eggs are full for a day, aren't they? If there's something to do, press me to call! β
"Hey, hey!"
The fellow replied while holding the banknote into his arms: "I found you a business, can you do it?" These young men are going to the water hyacinth field, and you are going to show them the way. β
"Wait,"
Without waiting for He Da to speak, Zhuang Huadie grabbed the fellow: "Uncle, you just said that you didn't dare to go, why did he dare to go?" β
The fellow broke away from her: "He is bold!" And he has been, has experience. β
As soon as the words fell, He Da came over with a smile: "A few little cubs, I can lead the way if you want to go to the water hyacinth field, but my fee is not cheap?" β
When we heard this, we all looked at Jiang Sichen.
After all, among the few of us, Jiang Sichen is a real rich second generation.
I saw him roll his eyes, and a stack of red Grandpa Mao handed it out.
He Da took it over happily and counted it and said, "The three thousand yuan is counted as a fraction, and the remaining 17,000 yuan can be paid later." β
I'll go!
When Zhuang Huadie heard this, he couldn't help but pull his fellow villager and asked, "Why does he love money so much?" β
"Hey!"
The fellow leaned back: "He wants to raise his mother-in-law!" β
"Don't be almost sixty years old before you get a mother-in-law or a yellow flower girl in her twenties, naturally you have to eat and drink well, otherwise you will run away?"
"What?"
Xie Sifei, a single dog, was suddenly puzzled: "Such an old man, and a young girl is willing to follow him?" β
"Hey, hey, hey!"
When these words reached the ears of Heda, he was not only not annoyed, but also laughed stupidly twice: "The clouds that are guarding see the moon and the moon!" After being single for so many years, the fairy aunt finally gave me a mother-in-law. β
"Then why didn't you please your mother-in-law before?"
I saw that I had not seen a lonely widow in the face of this lotus, and it stands to reason that I would not be single for so many years, so I asked curiously.
He Da looked quite ashamed, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't mention it, don't mention it." β
The fellow on the side is a good thing, and when he saw it, he pointed to the other side and laughed: "A few handfuls of He, your old mother-in-law who has not passed the door is here, why don't you go over and say hello." β
Zhuang Huadie was curious: "What do you mean by a mother-in-law who has not passed the door?" β
"Whoa!"
The fellow pointed with his hand: "It's that old lady, he almost became someone's son-in-law back then, isn't it a mother-in-law who hasn't passed the door?" β
When I looked from the side, there was an old lady coming down the other side of the slope.
This old lady has silver hair like snow, and the whole person is thin as wood but in good spirits, like an old dragon clock, vigorous and green pine, how can she be more than a hundred years old.
When he saw the old lady, he really greeted him: "Yo! Is the dead old woman still alive? Your daughter and son-in-law are dead, what is the point of you living alone in the world? β
"Tell me about you, if you didn't have to eat the nine-section lotus root in the first place, or the person who had to find the nine-section lotus root to be your son-in-law, would you have lived so long now?"
"It seems that the rumors are true, and the nine-section lotus root does have the effect of prolonging people's lives."
"You said how good it was to choose me at the beginning, you see that I am so rich now, I became your son-in-law and designated to take care of you, as for making you alone now!"
The old lady was on crutches, and when she heard this, she gave him a blank look, and turned away without paying any attention to him.
"Hey!"
When he saw that he had a few words on the cotton, he felt bored and scolded: "This dead old woman, her grandchildren don't want her anymore, and she is still so proud!" β
When we saw it, we were all curious about what the story was in.
He was embarrassed to talk about it, but the fellows on the side wanted to see him make a fool of himself, and ruthlessly broke out the black history of the year in a joking way.
What's going on?
A few decades ago, he was a young man in his early twenties, the same age as a young man named Stone in the village.
This stone man is really a stone as his name suggests.
Not only are the five big and three thick ones long, but they also have wooden personalities, compared with the clever ghosts, there is a difference between clouds and mud in the sky and in the ground.
By the way, the big ones didn't call them the big ones before, they were called too anxious.
At that time, there was a girl named Shui Lingyu who was the same age as them in the village, who was the daughter of the white-headed old lady just now.
As the name suggests, the water spirit jade person is really as beautiful as a flower.
So much so that the marriageable boys in the village wanted to ask her to be their wives.
The white-haired old lady only has Shui Lingyu, a daughter, who is naturally extremely attentive in the matter of choosing a son-in-law, and the people who came to propose marriage eliminated batch after batch, and in the end, only He Taiqian and Shi were left.
Why?
The white-haired old lady felt that among the young men, He Taiqi was the most clever and eye-catching, and Shi Shi was the most honest and reliable, and she couldn't make up her mind among the two.
Either way, the old lady would choose between the two of them.
At that time, people saw that He was too anxious, whether it was his appearance, figure, family background, or clever energy, he was better than the stone everywhere, and thought that he had won.
The result was a big surprise.
In the end, it was the old lady and son-in-law who married Shui Lingyu, not the expected He Taiyu, but the stone with a mediocre and honest appearance.
What's going on? What's going on?
It turned out that the old lady couldn't make up her mind between the two, so she came up with an exam question to test them, and whoever passed the exam question could be the husband of her daughter Shui Lingyu.
What are the questions?
Look for lotus roots.
The old lady wanted to eat nine-section lotus root at that time, but she heard that nine-section lotus root is only available in water hyacinth.
And the water hyacinth dang there is a baby snake all year round, and no one dares to go.
But the old lady said that whoever brought back the nine-section lotus root could be the son-in-law of their Shui family.
He was too anxious to go with the stone in order to hug the beauty, so they set off to pick lotus roots.
He Taianxious was clever and eye-catching, and it didn't take long to bring back a large basket of white and fat lotus roots, and each one was nine-knot, which looked particularly cute.
And the stone went for several days and did not come back.
Just when the old lady Shui was planning to let Shui Lingyu marry He Taiyu, the stone came back with the lotus root.
However, those lotus roots are all black and swarthy, and they are dry and small, which are dwarfed by He Taiqi's white and chubby lotus roots.
He was too anxious to see it, and felt that he had won steadily.
Who knew that the old lady Shui went into the kitchen and took a kitchen knife to cut the lotus roots of the two people separately, and immediately said to He Taianxious: You have been eliminated.
Mrs. He looked confused and hurriedly asked why.
The old lady said that you are too anxious that your lotus root is good-looking, but it is not the nine-section lotus root produced in the real water hyacinth land, but the stone one.
He was too anxious and confused.
The old lady of Shui unhurriedly picked up the nine-section lotus root slices that Mrs. He brought back and showed them: "The so-called nine-section lotus root, the lotus root body has a total of nine sections. β
"But the lotus root in the gourd field also has a characteristic, not only the lotus root body is also knotted, but the holes in the lotus root slice are also nine."
"Ordinary lotus roots are usually seven or eight holes, and only the nine-section lotus root in the water hyacinth field has nine holes."
"The lotus roots that He Tai hurriedly brought back are all seven holes, which means that you are not the nine-section lotus root of the water hyacinth field, you lied to me, I am afraid that you will also lie to my daughter in the future."
"So, you're out."
Mrs. He hurriedly went to see the lotus root brought back by the stone, and there were really nine holes of the same size.
At this time, the old lady said again: "Being a man is not important except being honest, a person like you who does nothing and only plays clever, I don't dare to hand over my daughter to you, you can go." β
He was too anxious, ashamed and angry, and immediately brushed his sleeves away, thinking that he would leave, what was the big deal? Don't you just ask for a wife? There is more than one woman in the world, and he is not the only one in the world, so I don't believe that I can still fight a generation of singles.
Who knew that in the next few decades, Shui Lingyu's sons were all older, and He was too anxious to find a wife yet, and he almost committed suicide by hanging himself in a hurry.
We were all confused: "Why? β
