Chapter Forty-Six: Thank-You Speech by the Pool
Xie Ci has been at the door of Xue's house for a long time, but there is an endless stream of matchmakers in front of this door, and there are many men and women who come to see the excitement, and even put an incense stand at the door of Xue's house, to worship Miss Xue, Xue's porter has to deal with the matchmaker and the female relatives who came to kiss, and to drive away those who put the incense table, and he was tired and dizzy for several days.
"This son, if you want to propose, let your daughter or matchmaker come, you are a man, what is the matter of coming to the door in person? Our family is a serious person, and when you come to the door like this, our wife and girl can't see it. ”
"This little brother, I don't mention my relatives, I want to ask Miss Xue ...... on the river that day"
"Green Dragon Protection, huh? You see, all these people are here to ask about this, even if they can't get in line! Let me tell you, we girls don't have the time to talk to you in detail. If you really want to know, you can just ask someone...... But Childe, don't set up an incense stand, if you set up an incense stand, don't blame us for kicking you in the past! Ay! That aunt, told you not to worship here, don't worship here, why don't you listen......? Mrs. Zhou! Don't cut the line! ”
"I am the ...... of Yangzhou Yamen"
"The yamen doesn't work either!! Even the prefect's son, he has to find a matchmaker according to the rules! ”
"I'm here to investigate a case, and I need to ask your girl a few words......"
"Hey, Mrs. Qian, why are you here again, our wife said, we can't accept your dowry, this is not decided, how can you directly give the dowry, you still have to bring it back this time...... This son, what do you want to ask my girl? I said no, no, I want to go directly to see my girl, but it must not work! If you see that we are busy trying to fish in troubled waters this day, don't blame me for being rude...... Ay! Zou Pozi! It's not your turn yet! Don't go in! …… You stop me!! ”
Xie Ci faced the chaotic situation in front of him, the other party couldn't even listen to his own words, and it seemed that it was not so easy to ask Xue Zheng.
He paused slightly, knowing that there was no progress here, so he turned his head and walked back, but at a glance he saw two people on the wall behind him!
It turned out that before this, Xue Mu and Aunt Xue Zheng saw that Xue Zheng had been convinced, and the two of them immediately smiled, clapped their hands and smiled, and went to prepare to arrange Xue Zheng to see each other.
As soon as the two of them left, Xue Zheng pulled Duan Ling'er to climb over the wall.
Xue Zheng pulled Duan Ling'er to the wall and walked quickly, and a flying butterfly hairpin between Xue Zheng's buns flashed in midair.
She said as she walked quickly: "Lord Cangtian, my head is blowing up now." Just spare me this day! ”
Xue Zheng was quick with his hands and feet, pushed Duan Ling'er on the wall three times and twice, and then kicked the wall twice, then rode on the wall, and then jumped and landed easily.
After Miss Xue landed, her face was full of relaxation: "Ling'er, come down." ”
As soon as she raised her head, Duan Ling'er's face turned white on the wall.
This wall was tall enough for nine-year-old Duan Ling'er. Duan Ling'er cried with a sad face: "Sister Xue, why do we have to jump over the wall!" Don't you have a back door in your house? ”
Xue Zheng tied the blue silk silk between the skirts tightly, and said hurriedly: "The back door is also a bunch of people, why can't you get out if you don't climb over the wall today!" Don't be afraid, Ling'er, just like I just did! ”
Duan Ling'er's legs and stomach trembled, neither up nor down, but what does it look like to ride on the wall like this?
She was also a bold person, and jumped down as soon as she closed her eyes.
I only heard Xue Zheng scream, and he fell into the arms of a person solidly.
Xie Ci put Duan Ling'er on the ground and put it away, and rubbed her chest that was hurt by her: "What are you doing!" A good big girl jumps over the wall! And how can you jump over the wall and plant your head down?? ”
Xue Zhengxiu's long eyebrows froze, and his clear eyes were full of doubt: "Gongzi Xie?" ”
Duan Ling'er was also stunned, staring at the thanks: "Thanks!" Why are you here? ”
Xie Ci didn't look at Duan Ling'er's eyes, and stared at the wall behind her beyond her gaze: "I'll ask Miss Xue some questions." ”
Xue Zheng stomped his foot, lowered his voice and said, "Gongzi Xie, you don't want to come to propose marriage after listening to that nonsense, right?" That, that...... That Qinglongzhi is false! ”
Duan Ling'er slightly showed a row of white teeth and stared at Xie Ci: "Do you want to marry Sister Xue?" ”
Xie Ci's face flushed, and he said: "No, I'm here for a case, I want to ask Miss Xue, is it true that she said that the knives that Jiang Zhong picked up that can break the row rope are true?" ”
Xue Zheng took a breath: "Half a day is for this ......"
She was just about to say something, when suddenly she caught the sight of a matchmaker looking over there, and the matchmaker's face tightened, as if she was identifying who she was.
Xue Zheng immediately made a decision, one in each hand, and pulled Duan Ling'er and Xie Ci away. With their backs to the people in the distance, the three of them ran quickly to the back of the street.

.
The City God Temple is located in the city of Yangzhou, in the downtown area.
It is said that the incense of this temple is very effective, so there are many pilgrims who come to offer incense every day.
The three of them ran briskly down the street for a while and then came around here, and a carriage came to a stop in front of the City God Temple, and the three of them just got in.
Duan Xiao in the carriage took a yarn hat, accompanied by the grandmother beside him, and got off the carriage.
casually glanced at Duan Ling'er's back in front of him, turned around and went to the right side of the Chenghuang Temple Ritual Gate to buy incense candles.
Duan Ling'er was in the worship pavilion, Xue Zheng was kneeling down to the city god reverently, and he had already finished kneeling and bowing, standing not far away waiting for Duan Ling'er and Xue Zheng to finish worshipping.
From an early age, his grandfather told him that when people suffer a lot, they believe in gods and Buddhas.
This was the first time he had worshiped God, and he prayed to Cheng Hong that his grandmother's body would soon recover.
Duan Ling'er knelt on the futon, looking up at the statue of the city god, the city god statue's eyes were bright, Duan Ling'er looked at the tall city god in front of him, and was stunned.
The city god gradually transitioned from a nature god to a personal god, and the people hoped that the heroic spirit would remain after the death of the hero and protect them as a local god.
In her previous life, Duan Ling'er left her hometown, and Daliang did not have the habit of worshipping the city god, at that time, she always missed the city god temple in Yangzhou and missed her hometown.
Now that she has returned to her childhood and returned to Yangzhou, it seems that the past is a dream, and the prayer of her heart in her previous life has finally come true.
Duan Ling'er bowed.
Xue Zheng's face was a little red, she had finished worshipping God, and went over there to talk to Xie Ci, waving her arms as she spoke, using her hands and feet together, and drawing a knife in mid-air.
Xie Ci looked attentive, smiled and thought silently, nodding from time to time.
Duan Ling'er knelt on the futon and didn't get up for a long time, and the pilgrims around her came and went.
A plain white figure knelt beside her and bowed to the city god.
The woman didn't turn her face, but cut off Duan Ling'er's mind with a soft sigh.
Her voice covered all the noise: "Ninth sister, you made a mess of the Duan Mansion in order to highlight your excellence, and now my sister has got what she wanted, and finally let her father have you in her eyes." Are you satisfied? ”
Duan Ling'er turned her head suddenly, only to see that Duan Xiao was bowing down to the city god, her upper and lower eyelashes were thickly intertwined, and her mouth slightly pursed a touch of deep meaning. The snow-white face seemed to be smiling, and he didn't mean to look at her at all.
"Xiao'er ......" Duan Ling'er was a little surprised.
"When did Sister Nine call me so intimate? It's better for you to call me Tenth Sister. Duan Xiao was wrapped in light makeup, a plain white light skirt, and the skirt was embroidered with thin plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum.
Duan Xiao raised his head and looked at Chenghuang: "I don't know what wish the ninth sister made, and I don't want to know." My sister is really very means, my father was bewitched by you, not only gave you the dignity of the nine rooms, but now he has no mercy for the Su family. Mother is angry, several brothers and sisters were grounded by their father because of a big fuss, the sixth aunt was tied up and grounded in her own garden this morning to throw water into the water, Sister Tong cried and almost fainted, the whole house was in turmoil, you came here to hide and relax. ”
Duan Ling'er frowned: "Do you think I bewitched my father?" Do you think there is nothing wrong with the Su Mansion? ”
Duan Xiao's eyes like a deep well were silent, she had been dressed very exquisitely these days, and her face had a completely different color from when she was raised in Yangzhou, and she smiled lightly:
"The Su family is my mother's mother's family, even if Yangzhou Sufu is a distant relative, now this is a real slap in the face of my mother. Whether you use your father to remove the stumbling blocks that stand in your way of doing business, or your father intends to deal with Su Fu, this time the matter is all about you, and you can't get rid of this reputation and sin. ”
Duan Ling'er smiled kindly: "I don't mean to avoid denial, Su Mansion deserves it, Su Mansion was uncovered this time, and it was indeed arranged by me from beginning to end." ”
The curvature of the corners of Duan Xiao's mouth rose a little with Duan Ling'er's words: "The ninth sister is really different, from the time you borrowed the hand of the sixth aunt and burned to death Mrs. Ping and the second housekeeper, you are destined not to be an ordinary person." ”
Duan Ling'er was stunned: "Tenth sister, listen to me, it was the sixth aunt who wanted to burn ...... at that time."
Duan Xiao stood up and blocked Duan Ling'er's following words with his movements: "I came to pray for my mother, and I will return to the house to serve after praying at this time." Ninth sister, see you in the house. ”
After she finished speaking, she put on the veil, moved the lotus step lightly, and walked to the grandmother who was waiting outside the worship pavilion, and was supported by the grandmother, and went to the temple gate without looking back.
