Chapter 876: Apologies and Thanks
What are the customs, the laws, the rules? Is it to let the creatures of the world survive in a more orderly manner? Or does it restrict the better survival of the world's creatures? When some people raise the stick of customs, laws, and rules to hurt others, they have a reason to hurt them in the light of righteousness. Therefore, the highest state of governance is "rule by inaction".
Hu Xianxian didn't care about rest and rest, all the rules were meaningless to her. But seeing Huo Fei tearing up the letter of resignation, she was a little uneasy, she was still afraid that she would hurt him too badly after all.
Pieces of paper flew, tears flooded his eyes, but a smile bloomed from the corner of his lips, "I have never married you, so why talk about divorce?" This retirement book is also a joke. "
Huo Fei looked at the void, and Hu Xianxian didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the slightest disturbance would make him lose control of his emotions.
After a long time, Huo Fei moved his gaze back and looked at Huaimu showing tenderness, "I married her, and I will never abandon her in this life." "
Huo Fei, is this crazy? is not ashamed of the acacia wood stand-in, but accepts it, and even promises it for life? Hu Xianxian didn't expect to cause him such heavy mental damage, the elixir could cure the external injuries of the disease, but could not cure the madness and obsession.
In order to let Huo Fei's thinking return to normal, Hu Xianxian sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry ......"
Huo Fei chuckled, not crazy, but completely relieved with a peaceful smile, "Thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart." Let me live such a beautiful life happily, even if it is a dream, it is a dream that I will never forget. "
I'm sorry, thank you, it's completely incorrect, but it's completely in line with their state of mind at this time.
Your "I'm sorry" is a lucky thing for me to hope for, so if you don't answer "it's okay", it's okay if you don't want to do it again; "Thank you", without complaint or anger, accepted those things, and the originally illusory time became real and once had.
Huo Fei's fingertips gently rubbed the locust wood, and asked in a low voice: "Is there your sustenance in this locust wood that will bring it to life?" "
Hu Xianxian nodded, indicating that he was sure that his guess was correct.
Huo Fei smiled again, his eyebrows stretched and he smiled contentedly.
"You haven't packed your things yet, and stay in Huo Mansion for one more day and leave tomorrow, I won't entangle." Huo Fei pleaded.
Hu Xianxian promised Huo Fei, sat silently for a while, and asked Qu Chunai to serve Huo Fei before packing up his things.
The next day, Huo Fei came to Hu Xianxian to go to the ancestral hall together, saying that he wanted to show her something new and interesting.
The door of the main hall of the ancestral hall opened, and Hu Xianxian didn't see anything special, and the spirit tablets and incense burners were no different except for being more exquisite.
Huo Fei didn't introduce anything, lit the incense, finished worshipping, and then moved his eyes to stare at a tablet.
Hu Xianxian also looked at the tablet, which read: The position of the deceased wife Hu Gui'er
Who's this? I didn't hear anyone say that the Huo family has such a female elder. Just as he was puzzled, Huo Fei sighed softly.
Hu Xianxian looked at him, but he still looked at the tablet stupidly, "Your little thought has a place of sustenance, and I have a wish." ”
Is that a tablet for the locust wood? Also named "Hu Guier"! Hu Xianxian held a mouthful of old blood in his chest, almost suffocating to death!
Deceive, use, and tease, Hu Xianxian is ashamed of Huo Fei, but Huo Fei's revenge without beating or scolding is ruthless enough!
"Xianxian, I'm going to make a coffin for the ghost myself, how can you help me see how you are doing?"
Huo Fei walked to a small room in the corner of the ancestral hall, where there were nanmu planks, and after he entered the house, he asked the carpenter waiting inside to help him make the coffin.
Planing and sawing, Huo Fei did everything seriously, and Hu Xianxian watched quietly from the side.
Every day, a few days later, the coffin was made, and Huo Fei carved a pattern on the coffin lid with a feather knife, which was a wild goose, a wild goose with only half of its wings.
The pattern lines are simple, the knife movement is like flowing water, and the once majestic feather knife is infinitely tender.
There seemed to be feathers flying in the sword light, and the white and light feathers flew out one by one, and one after another, and finally countless pieces flew all over the sky.
There were no feathers flying in the air, but Hu Xianxian and those carpenters did see it, and a little carpenter wanted to reach out and grab a piece, but he caught it empty.
Huo Fei put away his knife and stood silently, his whole body as if surrounded by feathers.
"Congratulations, the source of spiritual energy is first opened, and if you can gather qi, you will have the foundation for cultivation." After a while, Hu Xianxian congratulated Huo Fei in a low voice.
"In the past, I always thought that spells were illusory and useless, and I couldn't understand the meaning of the scriptures taught by Master Kutan, so I didn't have the intention to cultivate, and it was difficult to gather energy. Now I suddenly have an understanding, cultivation, what I practice is the heart and not the law, and I don't attach to the spell to gather the aura and practice the spell. ”
After Huo Fei said something that he might not understand himself, he returned to the Huo Mansion, and Hu Xianxian also said goodbye to everyone in the Huo family and moved out of the Huo family completely.
Two days later, the Huo family spread the news that Huo Fei's wife Hu Gui'er would be buried.
According to the Huo family, Huo Fei made a private agreement with a barbarian girl for life during the expedition, and this barbarian girl was also Hu Xianxian's sworn sister, and they agreed to marry after the war.
It's a pity that the barbarian girl died on the battlefield, and in order to recruit the soul of the barbarian girl to the Huo family, she asked Hu Xianxian to pretend to be the bride to perform the wedding on her behalf, but in fact she did not enter the cave room, and Huo Fei's illness was also because she missed Hu Gui'er too much.
Now that Hu Guier's ghost spirit has been attracted to the Huo family, of course, it will explain the truth and let the ghost enter the Huo family.
The Huo family used a Nanmu coffin to hold the locust wood and buried it in the ancestral tomb of the Huo family, next to the empty cemetery reserved for Huo Fei, the tomb of his deceased wife and the tomb of Hu Gui'er were on the left and right.
Huo Fei also said that from now on, he would no longer marry a wife and take a concubine, leaving only Qu Chunai by his side, but he could only be a concubine.
Regardless of whether the Huo family's lies are rounded or not, anyway, the relationship with Hu Xianxian has been cleared, and Hu Xianxian has been clean for a few days.
But it didn't last long, Qu Chunai came to make noise every day, saying that Huo Fei snubbed her, and it was all because Hu Xian Xian was still tied to Huo Fei's heart when he left.
Qu Chunai didn't know what the specific entanglement was, but she didn't believe in the Hu Gui'er made up by the Huo family, and thought that it was because of Hu Xianxian that she was left out in the cold.
Hu Xianxian hid from Xianyuan Garden to his brother's Jinli Courtyard, and Qu Chunai actually chased him to Jinli Courtyard to cry and cry.
"Well, blame me, blame me, blame me all...... Huo Fei was very good to you before, right? Hu Xianxian pinched her eyebrows, thinking about how to enlighten her.
Qu Chunai wiped her tears and whispered about the past: "He used to spoil me very much, in order to redeem me, he had a big quarrel with the old lady and was beaten to lie down for half a month. Later, I finally persuaded the old lady that the bustard raised the price again, and the ransom cost 8,000 taels of silver. Eight thousand taels of silver, how many small families can't save so much for decades. ”
Speaking of these, Qu Chunai's eyes shone brightly, and he looked quite proud.
"When I talked to my former sister about Huo Fei's redemption for you with eight thousand taels of silver, you were very proud and felt that there was light on your face, right?"
Qu Chunai replied: "Yes, this shows that he spoils me, I am worth a lot, of course I have a light on my face." Could it be that this is still a shameful thing? ”
Hu Xianxian pouted, "So, do you think you are worth eight thousand taels of silver, and it is an honor to sell it at a very high price?" ”
Qu Chunai didn't know how to answer this question, and looked at Hu Xianxian in a daze.
"He is indeed good to you, but that kindness is reflected in his unwillingness to let you suffer in the fire pit, the precious commitment, that respect, that perseverance, not how much money you spent." Hu Xianxian explained.
Qu Chunai stared at the tea in the cup in a daze, and then said after a while: "I don't understand those truths, anyway, I won't leave him." I just ask you to make him think less about you and use me a little more. ”
Hu Xianxian said angrily: "Don't you leave him, just for the sake of your former kindness and your current good life?" That's just mistreating him, not treating him well! If you love him, you should repay the same commitment, the same respect, and the same persistence! ”
It may be that Hu Xianxian was too stern when he spoke, and he was so frightened that the two old women who were about to enter the door trembled and exited the door.
Hu Xianxian asked them what they were here for, and they replied that they had heard that Hu Xianxian had not married Huo Fei and had been entrusted to come to propose marriage. After asking Ge Shumei, Ge Shumei said that they should ask Hu Xianxian by themselves.
"Propose? Which one? Hu Xianxian was annoyed by Qu Chunai, and casually asked the matchmaker to change the topic.
They said how rich and handsome the people they entrusted with each car were, and they all hoped that they could say it and get a lot of thanks.
"Are they affectionate? Are they righteous? Will they be able to be affectionate to me? Hu Xianxian asked slowly.
One of the matchmakers had a deflated mouth and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth, "What is love and righteousness?" ”
Hu Xianxian's eyes stared at her like a blade: "What is your grandfather's expression?" What do you do with a deflated mouth? If you want to say anything, you have to calculate the firewood, rice, oil, and salt, don't talk about any love, righteous? The people of the world are so stupid that they claim to be smart, they are simply losing pearls and picking up rubble! ”
"Love and righteousness are all talked about by you rich and powerful people, and you want to be decent, but who will really do it?" The matchmaker was old and still saw some of her looks back then, she lamented, "I am here to see through those false feelings, I just want to see that the girls are no longer deceived and marry beautifully." ”
Hu Xianxian looked at her curiously, perhaps to persuade Hu Xianxian that she talked about her.
When she was sixteen years old, there were three families who came to propose, two of them had a rich dowry, and the other was very few.
But she begged her parents to agree, and chose the one with very few dowries. But her husband's family was not grateful to her for this, and after marriage, she made things difficult everywhere, saying that she was poor and only blamed her for her own choice, and no one forced her to marry.
Her husband is a showman, she is looking forward to her husband being the top student in high school before getting married, who knows that her husband is decadent and unmotivated, and only knows how to complain?
Because she had no children after two years of marriage, she was even more disgusted by her in-laws, and at this time, only one merchant who often came to their village comforted her.
This merchant will be considerate, so she ran away from home with the merchant, wanting to live a more comfortable life. Who knew that after this merchant got tired of her, he sold her into the Qinglou!
forced a smile in the Qinglou and met a rich boy, who wanted to wait for him to redeem himself, but later learned that it was a fake rich boy, not only did not redeem her, but also defrauded her of her savings.
The old man is Zhu Huang, she followed an old rich man who was about to die, and finally jumped out of the fire pit. When the old rich man died, he shared some money, and he also said that he made some money, and he understood that only money was the closest.
"If I had chosen a lot of dowry, my husband's family wouldn't have ended up like this, and the dowry I gave would show that my husband valued you, and he would be good to you after marriage, afraid that you would run away! This is a lesson, but don't talk about hypocrisy. The matchmaker concluded.
Hu Xianxian sneered: "You live like a pile of mud, I wish everyone would become muddy like you?" You ended up in this field, is it because you received less dowry from your husband's family at the beginning? It's you who blame you for dreaming about Mrs. Zhuangyuan, and not looking at people carefully! You yourself only want to rely on men, but you can only be deceived by looking at your appearance! It's not that there are no good men, but they won't marry you like this! You forbid me to be a matchmaker again, lest I use your poisonous mouth to harm young boys and girls again! ”
These words were like a knife stabbing into the matchmaker's heart, she almost fainted, but it was Qu Chun's penchant for persuasion that made her feel relieved. Hu Xianxian called a little servant to come over and asked her to give her more silver and let her go quickly.
Turning his head, he saw that the other matchmaker was also pouted, Hu Xianxian said angrily: "What are you talking about?" Didn't his grandfather understand? ”
"Old slave...... The old slave lost all his teeth...... Only then did he deflat, his mouth ...... "The matchmaker was so frightened that she quickly grinned and showed her bare gums.
