Chapter 25: The Daughter of the Hour
"Mother, there are several elderly families in the village who are still alive and have split up."
"But your grandfather is a scholar, and the most important rules are difficult."
"The rules are dead, people are alive, if my mother pays more attention, she should find that the families in the village are doing the best."
People are selfish, and when they are separated, they don't have to worry about working in vain, let the brothers pick up ready-made; After splitting up, the thought that the money earned from work does not need to be taken out to confiscate is full of energy.
Full of energy, as long as it is not too unlucky, life will get better and better.
It's just that most people here are very pedantic, thinking that their parents should not be separated when they are alive, and the family lives together with intrigue, not only can they not make money, but they also lose their brothers, and they become poorer and poorer.
Mu Jiu saw that Li Xiaotao didn't react, so he approached Li Xiaotao and whispered, "Mother, I won't tell you, the Bodhisattva saw that I was pitiful, and taught me a lot of things, so that I can live a good life in the future." ”
She must lay the foundation in advance for the skills she will show in the future, lest one day Li Xiaotao be shocked by her, or even suspicious, her affairs will be difficult to do!
Li Xiaotao was overjoyed, "Really? ”
As soon as he was excited, he knelt down on the side of the road to the south and kowtowed a few times, "Thank you, Bodhisattva!" Thank you Bodhisattva for bless my son! ”
Mu Jiu thought about it, and knelt down like Li Xiaotao, and said "Thank you, Bodhisattva".
Seeing this, a villager passed by and asked puzzledly, "Mu Qiaoyong's family, what are you doing?" ”
Li Xiaotao had no scheming, and replied casually, "Thank you Bodhisattva for saving my daughter!" ”
Some time ago, Mu Jiu said that she was blessed by the Bodhisattva to survive, and the villagers were even more convinced when they saw that Li Xiaotao was so pious.
Out of the village, Li Xiaotao went to the field, and Mu Jiu went to chop wood.
……
The next day, the news of Mu Jiu's blessing by the Bodhisattva spread again in Mujia Village.
In this regard, the forest landlord was very satisfied, and despite his old illness, he personally went to the Mu family.
In the hall of the Mu family, Mu Rongguang held a pair of scholars' shelves, shaking his head, "Brother Lin, Ah Jiu is my family's precious granddaughter......"
The forest landlord couldn't get used to Mu Rongguang's appearance, he was obviously a poor boy, and he was sarcastically called Xiucai, but he didn't know himself, and he thought he was proud.
The forest landlord interrupted Mu Rongguang, "Mu Xiucai, Ming people don't say secret words, just mention any requirements you have." Mu Jiu, I must get it. ”
"This ......" Mu Rongguang made a look of embarrassment, "This ......"
"Pick it up!" The woodland owner beckoned.
Steward Lin, who had been standing respectfully behind him, immediately stood up and opened the box he had been holding.
Glittering, what a big ingot of gold!
As if he had seen a rare treasure all of a sudden, Mu Rongguang's eyes lit up, and Mrs. Mu, who was standing not far away, straightened her eyes and couldn't help but take a few steps closer.
The forest landlord snorted proudly, "Ahem......
Mu Rongguang came back to his senses at this time, "Ahem...... I don't know what Brother Lin means? ”
"The gold belongs to you, Mu Jiu belongs to me, I asked my husband to see it, five days later it will be the auspicious day, five days later, I will send someone to take Mu Jiu away."
He spoke of a belt, not a carry, as if he were not talking about a person, but of a traded good.
And Mu Jiu, who was traded as goods, was in the town at this time, and after selling the medicinal materials collected in the past few days, he had three taels of silver in his hand.
With three taels of silver, Mu Jiu went to the famous Li Banxian's house in the town.
……
"Look at the eight characters, test the marriage, and change the fate, the girl doesn't look like a blessed person at first glance, she is here to change her fate and ask for marriage."
Before Mu Jiu entered Li Banxian's house, he heard an old voice coming from inside.
You are the unblessed!
Mouth owes!
Mu Jiu knew that there were a few ventriloquists in the palace, who were good at imitating various voices, and this Li Banxian was not very good at fortune-telling, but he was quite good at pretending.
When she walked out of the house, the light inside was not very good, and the smell of soothing incense penetrated her nose, making her head a little dizzy.
Mu Jiu pinched his palm with his nails, and suddenly woke up, only then did he see that the four walls of the room were full of ghost painting talismans and other strange things, and there was a table in the middle, and there was a woman with long hair sitting at the other end of the table, dressed strangely.
Next to the table is a large incense burner, and the smoke rings slowly rise, and the soothing incense emanates from here.
The aroma and strange atmosphere set off the mother-in-law and suddenly showed a bit of mystery.
Mu Jiu smiled, walked up to his mother-in-law, and sat down on the other side of the table, "I heard that Li Banxian's fortune-telling ability is the first in Wanbao Town." ”
Li Banxian didn't know what modesty was, "That is, I, Li Banxian, are called second, and no one dares to call me first." ”
Mu Jiu, "......"
Don't you dare to be modest!
"What kind of marriage does the girl want?"
Mu Jiu, "......"
Li Banxian didn't care whether Mu Jiu answered or not, he was still as confident as he was, "I'll pinch my fingers, girl, you want to ask for a good husband, rich and powerful, and you don't want to be too far away from your mother's house, so as not to see your relatives." ”
Mu Jiu, "......"
Isn't that what most women want?
also pinched her fingers, she can say it without pinching her fingers!
Mu Jiu was silent, and Li Banxian continued, "It's a pity that your family still married you to someone you don't like......
Mu Jiu, "......"
Cast more nets, you will always catch a fish, say a hundred words, and there will always be a time to get to the point.
Didn't you say Li Banxian? What a bad mix!
However, she didn't come to listen to Li Banxian guess her life situation.
Mu Jiu took out a tael of silver and shook it in front of Li Banxian, and saw that Li Banxian's eyes were straight.
Although the goddess is a profitable business, in this backward Wanbao Town, Li Banxian doesn't earn much, and one or two silvers are enough to make her heart move.
Without waiting for Mu Jiu to say something, Li Banxian opened his mouth first, "The girl wants this great immortal to do something." ”
Mu Jiu likes such "smart people", and he is not ambiguous, "Have you ever heard of a kind of hard human life?" ”
Although Li Banxian is a half-, there is still basic common sense, "If this kind of person with a natal chart is a man, his parents and his wife and children, if he is a woman, his parents and children." ”
Mu Jiu nodded, "It's not that yet." ”
"The daughter of the time cannot be kept, if you don't harm your mother's family, you will harm your mother-in-law's family, and there will always be a family that will be unlucky."
Mu Jiu has read a lot of books since he was a child, in addition to his excellent medical skills, he has a little study of the Book of Changes.
It just so happened that the original owner was born in Hai Shi.
However, grandpa did not believe in fate, and often told her: My fate is up to me.
As long as you study hard and become a strong person, you can control your own destiny.
Although Mu Jiu felt that many of his grandfather's ideas were very different from this society, and even deviant, every word his grandfather said contained great truths.
She adores her grandfather!
But that doesn't mean she can't use people's psychology of believing in fate to achieve her own goals.
Mu Jiu put the silver on the table, "Can Immortal Gu go to Mujia Village for a visit?" ”
Li Banxian's face hesitated.
However, Mu Jiu easily caught the greed in her eyes, raised his hand to collect the silver, turned around and left.
"Girl!" Li Banxian couldn't care about the reserve of the half-immortal, so he stood up and chased, "Girl, wait a minute!" ”
And because of the rush to chase, he tripped over the chair and made a screeching sound.
Mu Jiu didn't really want to leave, so he accepted it when he saw it, stood up and turned around, "Fairy Gu is still in trouble?" ”
Seeing that there was a play, Li Banxian immediately straightened his chest, looking righteous and awe-inspiring, "This Daxian decided to go to Mujia Village tomorrow, no, no, no, I will go in the afternoon." ”
Mu Jiu returned to the table, "Immortal Gu can figure out what I want?" ”
Li Banxian didn't pretend anymore, and said sneeringly, "The girl came to me, presumably to use my reputation to achieve some kind of purpose, as long as she doesn't smash my Li Banxian's signboard, don't kill people and set fires, the girl can say whatever she wants me to do." ”
Hehe, it seems that there is no shortage of such things, and I am familiar with the road!
Mu Jiu didn't twist either, and put the silver in Li Banxian's hand, "It's not that serious, just need the fairy girl to speak truthfully." ”
Li Banxian was a little surprised, and couldn't see through what Mu Jiu wanted to do, "Girl, ......"
Mu Jiu's words were concise and to the point, "The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, it makes the fairy aunt laugh when it comes to it, my grandfather wants to marry me to an old man buried in loess to his neck, I would rather not marry than be buried." ”
Although Li Banxian has done a lot of tricks and abductions, he still retains a sense of awe for the gods and monsters, and he only cheats a small amount of money, and he does not dare to cheat people's lives.
can not only make money but also help people, maybe you can also accumulate yin virtue, and I agreed without saying a word, "I understand...... But aren't you worried that you won't be able to get married for the rest of your life? ”
Mu Jiu shook his head, if he doesn't get rid of the Mu family, then there is a future?
Whether you can get married or not, we will talk about it later.
"After the deed is completed, I will add a tael of silver hush money."
Li Banxian was such a shrewd person, he immediately swore to the sky, "I promise to rot this secret in my stomach, if I violate this oath, I will not die a good death." ”
Mu Jiu's expression was faint, "Then there is Lao Immortal Gu!" ”
After speaking, he told Li Banxian that he would not die in the river, as well as the situation of some people in the Mu family, before turning around and leaving.
She was especially careful to see if there was anyone outside the door, especially people she knew, and when she saw that the street was quiet, she carefully left Li Banxian's house.
……
Mu Jiu walked out of the town and walked a little way, and saw Lin Changsheng driving the ox cart from a distance and following behind.
At this time, the people who came to the market in the morning basically returned home, and the road was quiet.
Probably Lin Changsheng was worried about her safety as a girl.
Mu Jiu's heart was warm.
……
The Mu family.
Li Xiaotao was cooking lunch, and Mrs. Mu suddenly walked into the kitchen and threw a shabby red cloth on the ground, "Your father has decided, five days will be a good day, you make a dress and let the dead girl wear it out." ”
Li Xiaotao's face turned pale, tears fell big and big, and he didn't care about picking up the red cloth, raised his toes and ran into the hall.
In the hall, Mu Rongguang was smiling red, thinking about how to use the ingot of gold to buy a way out for his youngest son.
Li Xiaotao suddenly ran in and knelt down with a puff, "Dad!" ”
