Chapter 237: Seeking Truth and Seeking Truth
237
Cheng Haofeng blurted out without thinking about it: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed." ”
Ma Shuo snorted in disappointment, rolled his eyes and said to Hu Xianxian: "Miss Hu, it's almost noon, my stomach is singing empty city plans, and I have to make lunch for you." ”
As soon as Hu Xianxian got together, Ma Shuo covered his mouth and said, "Cheng Daochang, I'll let her go, it's nothing to tell me about it......"
Hu Xianxian paused suddenly and looked at the two suspiciously. Cheng Haofeng urged her to cook quickly, and said to Ma Shuo: "You also go to do your business, don't ask some messy things." ”
Ma Shuo waved his hand to Hu Xianxian and said, "Go cook, Cheng Daochang said don't ask about some messy things." ”
Hu Xianxian's eyes became very wrong when he looked at Cheng Haofeng, Cheng Haofeng glanced at Ma Shuo with some weakness, and Ma Shuo's pretended to be serious and couldn't hide the smile at all.
"Don't put on these weird looks, as if I don't hear them." She walked straight to the shed, bringing a chilly wind in the midday sun.
"Xianxian, I'll tell you later, don't fall into the pit dug by this stinky boy." Cheng Haofeng's voice was a little anxious, she heard that he was afraid that she would be angry, so she turned around and laughed heartily.
Ma Shuo was dumbfounded, and suddenly ran towards Hu Xianxian, "Miss Hu, I apologize, I admit defeat." After he explains it to you, you'll have to tell me about it. ”
Hu Xianxian learned from Cheng Haofeng's appearance, and said mysteriously: "The secret of heaven must not be revealed. ”
After dinner, Cheng Haofeng and Hu Xianxian went out for a walk in Yizhuang together, and also went to the village lady's house to pick up clothes.
He was amused when he saw her peeking at him a few times, wanting to ask but not asking, nodded her head, and said, "Is there some mess in this little brain like Ma Shuo's people?" ”
She pursed her lips, and her voice was as low as a mosquito: "Who told you to say something in front of so many people...... If it's different from what you usually look like......"
"How do I talk on a daily basis?"
"Hmph, forget it if you don't tell me."
He leaned over to her and asked with a deep smile, "Does the fairy think that my usual speech is too boring, and you want me to be like that all the time?" ”
Hu Xianxian was secretly annoyed that he deliberately shifted the focus of the topic, but seeing him smiling with a spring breeze on his face made her angry. She covered her face and trotted a few steps, grabbed a dog's tail and shook it in her hand, and waited for him by the side of the road with her head down.
She was still very curious in her heart, but no matter how curious she was, she didn't dare to ask him. Hu Xianxian walked a few steps in front of him, jumping up and down with the dog's tail grass to sweep the thorns on the roadside, and then holding the dog's tail grass in his mouth and standing waiting for him.
Cheng Haofeng walked very slowly, he was picking thatch flowers, removing the white tidbits of thatch flowers, and weaving something with the flower stems.
He hid his things behind his back, and walked a few steps quickly to keep up with Hu Xianxian, "Do you want a gift?" ”
Hu Xianxian tilted his head to look behind him, he turned his body sideways to avoid her gaze, "If you want to, just say it, don't peek." ”
"Show me...... I can't really guess what kind of gift thatch will make. ”
He stretched out his hand, and in his hand was a humble straw pony. She quickly took the straw pony and held it up to her eyes to admire it. Under the autumn sun, the straw pony is green and yellow, and each interspersed warp and weft are fine and even, simple and unpretentious at first glance, and smart and chic under careful look.
"Haofeng, your hands are so skillful, and the Weaver Girl may not be as skillful as you."
He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, kissed her hair gently, and said with a smile: "Compare me with the Weaver Girl, do you want to compare yourself to a cowherd?" ”
"I don't want to be a cowherd, he's too cowardly. If I do, he will rebel and go to heaven and bring the Weaver Girl back. ”
He hugged her tighter and whispered in her ear, "It's actually hard and tiring like that...... Ordinary people don't necessarily have to have a result when they ask for something, but they just want peace of mind, and it will be really hard and tiring for you to implement what you want like this. ”
"No matter how hard and tired it is, it's better than being aggrieved", Hu Xianxian suddenly thought of something, tilted his head and looked at him sideways, "You said that ordinary people just ask for peace of mind?" I thought about how you deal with those requests for children. ”
He pecked her cheek and approvingly, "So smart? Tell me about it. ”
Hu Xianxian said that he must not have used any evil arts, let alone done any dirty things, but used "deception". When he first coaxed the old man to get drunk, he said that a certain family would give birth to a child, and it must be that the pregnant woman of the family was already in labor, and it was very easy to tell whether the fetus was male or female with his cultivation at that time. Not to mention those who have cultivation, even experienced doctors can see eight or nine without leaving ten.
Cheng Haofeng nodded yes, and asked her again: "This can coax drunkards like Lao Drunk who have never seen much of the world, but they can't coax those dignitaries and nobles who are bent on seeking children, how can they deal with them?" ”
She said that it depends on the specific situation, since she is a high-ranking official and noble, there must be many people who know her, and it is not difficult to inquire about the family situation. Then I went to see myself, and what I wanted was to be uneasy, and I wanted to find out the root cause of my uneasiness.
People like Lao Zui don't pay attention to etiquette and ask their sons to be filial, but they are afraid of being laughed at by others, and they are lazy, so they find some excuses to evade responsibility. As long as the people around him don't say patriarchal things to stimulate him, he feels that there is hope for his adopted daughter, and he will feel at ease.
Some of these dignitaries really like their sons and need their sons to inherit the family business, but they are sick. Such people can be cured if they can cure the disease, and if they can't be cured, they will say that they can accept the adoption of the child. As long as they are willing to adopt the child and arrange for their family to take a leave of absence to get pregnant, it is not too difficult to raise the baby without knowing it. Even if someone doubts, since they are high-ranking officials and nobles, they always have the means to make people dare not doubt.
Also, it's just that there is nothing sick, just find a clean place to recuperate. Some people are not sick and have no children, not because of abstinence, but because of excessive indulgence.
The trouble is that there is a daughter who has to have a son to inherit the family business, which is really difficult to do. If such a person is provoked, it is good to be allowed to be allowed, but if he is not allowed, he can only be offended.
Cheng Haofeng let go of her and took her hand and walked slowly, saying that he had not offended anyone in such things. When that happens, he goes to find out what the people who have done wrong, and when the time comes, he says that they themselves have been punished by heaven.
Hu Xianxian grinned and said disapprerovingly: "What if people didn't make mistakes? ”
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Haofeng's mouth: "It's really hard to find people in this world who don't make mistakes, and almost all of those stubborn and domineering dignitaries have made big mistakes that hurt nature and reason." ”
Hu Xianxian chuckled: "Alas, begging for this and that, the most difficult thing to get is peace of mind." It's a shame that you see human nature so thoroughly that you don't specifically become a liar. ”
Hearing her say this, Cheng Haofeng paused, countless emotions flashed in his eyes, and Hu Xianxian looked at him with some surprise. He avoided her gaze and embraced her tightly in his arms, his left hand around her waist, and his right hand pressed her head to his chest to prevent her from looking up at him.
She could feel his body trembling slightly, and she obediently let him hold him, until he calmed down and let go of her, and then she looked at him with inquiring eyes.
Cheng Haofeng said slowly: "Most people have something to ask for, not because they really need what they want in their hearts, what they want is what they want. For example, the world is patriarchal, so ask for children; The world is disgusted with the poor and loves the rich, so they seek wealth; The world likes to be evil, so look for ...... Some have to wake him up and make him realize what his heart wants. The majority of people deceived him as he prayed, and allowed him to deceive himself......"
Cheng Haofeng took her hand and shook it, and continued: "People like you are the hardest to deceive, what you ask for is not desire but truth." People like you know what you want in your heart, and you who will never deceive yourself, live a very hard and tiring life. “
Hu Xianxian stroked his long flying hair, looked at him for a while, and then laughed playfully: "I don't feel how hard and tired I have to live, if I want to make do with it, then I really can't stand it." ”
He straightened his face, but his eyes were full of pity: "Others just want peace of mind, you will do your best for what you want, if what you want is in vain, how much of a blow you will suffer." ”
Hu Xianxian dragged him up and strode forward, "What I ask for is very little, so I won't be disappointed." Even if it fails, it's nothing, it must be the wrong way for me to beg, and I ask for it in another way, until I can't move. ”
The two went to the village lady's house, took the clothes they washed last time, and sat idle for a while before returning to Yizhuang.
On the morning of the fifth day of the first month of August, Qin Mufeng said goodbye, saying that he would take Ye Guanying and Qu Chunrao to the undersea holy realm for diagnosis and treatment, and there were also some affairs in the undersea holy realm that he needed to go back to deal with.
Soon after Qin Mufeng and Du Wanzhi took Ye Guanying and his wife away, Ma Mingfeng arrived. Hu Xianxian saw a burst of purple smoke floating, and said with a smile: "Senior brother has such a big pomp every time he appears. ”
Cheng Haofeng's eyes froze, and he suddenly knelt down on one leg towards Ma Mingfeng with a solemn expression, and Ma Mingfeng was stunned and hurriedly went to help him.
"Third Senior Brother, what are you doing here? Although I came here to protect you, I haven't been out of the boundary of Wanzhou for more than a thousand years, but I still want to breathe here. ”
Cheng Haofeng replied: "Senior brother, I didn't kneel because you came to help. ”
Hu Xianxian thought that Cheng Haofeng wanted to explain to Ma Mingfeng in person what happened back then - he mistakenly caused Ma Mingfeng to be burned to death and failed to obtain the immortal position.
Sure enough, Cheng Haofeng pulled Hu Xianxian and said, "I have a different grade from the senior brother, and kneeling on his knees will detract from his merits." Immortal, you don't have a Taoist or immortal rank, you kneel down on my knees on my behalf to apologize to Senior Brother. ”
Hu Xianxian had always refused to give in, but she obediently knelt down to Ma Mingfeng. Because what happened back then, in the final analysis, it was because of her, and because Cheng Haofeng asked her to apologize on her behalf, he really watched her and him as one.
Ma Mingfeng was confused by the actions of the two of them, even Ma Shuo and Hong'er also ran to ask what was going on.
