Chapter 9 Purchasing Props and Acknowledging Relatives III
Wang Shuo, who was in the corner, was finally pulled out by Mao Xiaomeng, and was able to get out after being harassed by three old men for a while, and walked briskly down the street behind her.
"Girl, don't forget to go to Bixuan in a moment," an old man stood at the door of the clothed man, and reminded Wang Shuo and the two of them loudly.
"Got it," replied without looking back, and Mao Xiaomeng pulled Wang Shuo to speed up some steps.
"The brush, the inkstone, the clothes crown, the money sword, the peach wood sword, and the bronze bell and copper tripod are already available, and you can go back after buying some more yellow paper and incense candles in a while," Mao Xiaomeng muttered in a low voice as she walked forward, and after a while, she pulled Wang Shuo into a store with a grocery store sign.
"It's finally here," there were already two white-haired old men waiting at the door in the store, each of them holding a small black cloth bag in their hands, and after confirming the identity of the cat Xiaomeng, they handed her the things.
"Thank you," took the things, and Mao Xiaomeng took Wang Shuo to thank the two of them again and again.
"It's all a family," an old man smiled and rubbed Cat Xiaomeng's hair.
"Okay, you shouldn't have anything to buy, let's go to the eldest brother together, they should be ready," the other old man took out a large lock from his bosom, and took the lead out of the shop as he spoke, locking the door of the store when Wang Shuo and the three of them came out.
"Hmm," followed the two old men back for a distance, Mao Xiaomeng rolled his eyes and said: "Actually, we still have some things to be busy tonight, do you want us to go back and finish things first, and let's come over again after a few days of leisure." ”
"It's just a meal, we'll send you back when we're done," an old man smiled back at her, and continued to lead the way.
Thinking back to the scene when she was surrounded by people asking questions before, Mao Xiaomeng was very annoyed, but she couldn't help it, these old men and old ladies were Zhang Shaohua's sworn brothers and sisters, if she dared to run away secretly, I was afraid that when the third sister knew about it in the future, she would run up from below and scold herself. Besides, the props she wanted to buy this time were all given away by them for free, and the quality was very good, so how could she be embarrassed to sneak away, "It's just a trouble, I admit it." ”
Not long after walking forward, the group of four people saw the sign of Bixuan.
"Alas," sighed secretly, Mao Xiaomeng dispelled the entanglement in her heart, and followed the two old men into the door of Bixuan.
"Grandma Seven, Grandma Eight, you are finally here, the three grandpas and my grandparents have been waiting for you in the backyard for a long time," as soon as he walked into the gate of Bixuan, the young man from before hurriedly greeted him, and he pointed to the small door leading to the backyard for the four of them to pass.
"Lock the door and come here," the old man called Grandma Seven touched the young man's head and instructed, turned and took the lead to go inside, and went straight through the small door.
"Understood," said the young man, and went out of the room with an iron lock, and when he had locked it outside, he went straight down the street.
Wang Shuo and Mao Xiaomeng followed the two old men through the small door to the backyard, and as soon as they walked out of the small door, they saw that a large round table was placed in the middle of the small courtyard, and the table was already full of various delicacies at this time.
On the side of the small courtyard, there were four old men sitting around a stone table playing chess, and when he heard the sound here, only the old man in the clothes looked up and said hello, and then he lowered his head and concentrated on playing chess.
"These guys," shook his head angrily, and the two old men didn't take care of them, and took Wang Shuo and the two straight to the north house in the backyard.
"Fourth sister," standing outside the door of the north room, an old man shouted softly inside, "we are here." ”
"Squeak."
After a while, the door of the north house was pushed open from the inside, and Zheng Lili, whom Wang Shuo had seen before, walked out of it.
"Here, the meal is ready, let's sit down and eat first. A few of you, hurry up and come over for dinner," Zheng Lili first greeted Wang Shuo and the four with a smile, and then she turned her head and shouted at the four old men.
"It's coming, it's true, it's so old and so angry," Dropping the chess in his hand, the four old men came over slowly, and among them, the old man in the clothes shook his head and muttered.
"Sixth, I won't worry about you today in front of the child," snorted coldly, Zheng Lili turned her head and took Mao Xiaomeng's hand to the dining table, patted her back and made her sit down.
At this moment, the young man pushed open the door of the backyard and entered, greeting the old men as he walked to the dining table.
"Xiao Jin, you and Wang Shuo sit next to your sister-in-law," the old man from Bixuan pointed to the position of the two youngest and youngest people.
The young man named Xiao Jin nodded, and pulled Wang Shuo to sit next to Mao Xiaomeng.
"Hello, my name is Zhou Jin," after sitting down, Zhou Jin turned his head and introduced himself to Wang Shuo.
After everyone finished sitting, they saw the old man of Bixuan pick up a wine glass and said: "Brothers and sisters, today is a good day for us, we finally got the news of the third sister, and we have met her apprentices and grandchildren, come on, let's have a drink first." ”
When everyone heard this, they all picked up their wine glasses and drank them all, and even that Zhou Jin drank the liquor in the cup in one gulp.
Wang Shuo and Mao Xiaomeng glanced at each other, and finally could only hold the wine glass and close their eyes and drink it forcibly.
"Ahem," Wang Shuo, who had never drunk liquor, was choked, and he didn't care about being laughed at by everyone, so he picked up the bottled drink on the ground next to him and drank it in a big gulp.
"Haha," Seeing Wang Shuo's appearance, the people at the dinner table burst into laughter, and after a while, they gradually stopped, and after Wang Shuo got a little better, he heard the old man of Bixuan say again: "Okay, okay, don't drink if you can't drink it." By the way, let's introduce ourselves first, otherwise, Xiaomeng and Wang Shuo don't know what to call us, I'll come first, my name is Zhou Qi, and I am Shaohua's eldest brother. ”
"My name is Wu Hao, and I am Shaohua's second brother," the old man who gave Wang Shuo the money sword and the peach wood sword followed Zhou Qi's words.
followed by Zheng Lili, who said with a smile: "You all know my name, I am the fourth." ”
"I'm the fifth Wang Tianlei," the old man who gave Wang Shuo a bronze bell and bronze tripod said very simply.
"I'm the sixth Zhao Qinglin, you can come to me anytime if you want clothes or a Dao crown or something in the future," the old man who was dressed and spun winked at Wang Shuo.
"I'm the seventh eldest Sun Ling, she is the eighth Li Yueru, you can come and see what you lack in the future, maybe you can find some gadgets in our place," said the one on the left of the two old men in the grocery store, pointing first at himself and then at the old man next to him.
"Seventh sister, I can introduce it myself," the eighth Li Yueru complained.
Sun Ling smiled and shrugged.
"Xiao Jin?" At this time, the boss Zhou Qi looked at Zhou Jin.
Zhou Jin hurriedly stood up, turned around and bent over at Mao Xiaomeng and said, "Hello sister-in-law, my name is Zhou Jin." ”
Mao Xiaomeng was a little caught off guard, and quickly stood up and waved his hand while trying to help him up.
Clapping his hands, Zhou Qi pointed to the dining table and said, "Okay, let's eat first." Xiaomeng, this braised carp tastes good, you can try it. ”
After thanking him, Mao Xiaomeng stretched out his chopsticks and put a large piece of fish meat into his bowl, and finally showed a happy expression on his face.
The meal ended quickly in laughter, Wang Shuo, who had already finished eating but had not been embarrassed to get off the table, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and after wanting to help but was refused, he followed Zhou Jin to the side to watch the old men play chess.
"Girl, come here," and when the three old ladies had finished packing up their things, they stood next to the big round table and greeted the cat Xiaomeng.
"What's wrong?" Mao Xiaomeng hurriedly walked over.
Sun Ling and Li Yueru glanced at each other and nodded, and each took out a small black cloth bag from their clothes, which were two storage bags.
Mao Xiaomeng stood aside and watched them pull out some yellow incense and red candles, and she had already guessed what they wanted to do, and it happened that she wanted to verify it at the end, so before they could speak, she took the initiative to take out a brush and a dark red inkstone from her arms.
"Here," Li Yueru on the side handed over a piece of yellow paper.
Nodding, Mao Xiaomeng put the yellow paper on the round table and spread it flat, picked up the brush and clicked it in the inkstone, and quickly wrote three big characters on the yellow paper with a wave of his hand, which was Zhang Shaohua's name.
The three old ladies looked at the names on the yellow paper and sighed lightly, and then, Zheng Lili reached out and picked up the yellow paper and fixed it in the middle of the round table with the essence of the sun and moon in her body, and then, out of nowhere, took out a small gray white bowl and put it in front of the yellow paper.
Seeing this, Li Yueru and Sun Ling on the side were also busy, one picked up six red candles and erected three on each side of the small white bowl, and the other person put a large handful of incense in his hand into the small white bowl.
"I've summoned a spirit?" Seeing that they had already prepared everything that should be prepared, Mao Xiaomeng put her hands together and was about to summon spirits.
The three old ladies nodded, and with a wave of their hands, they saw that the six red candles and the incense in the small white bowl were lit.
The cat Xiaomeng, who folded her hands, closed her eyes and opened her mouth to say softly: "Zhang Shaohua, Zhang Shaohua, Zhang Shaohua, come, come, come." ”
"Whew."
As soon as Mao Xiaomeng's words fell, a yin wind blew violently, and then, I saw a black smoke suddenly rising from the ground in the small courtyard, and after that, a young woman wearing a dark blue robe appeared there.
The young woman was Zhang Shaohua, whom Wang Shuo had already met, she turned her head and rolled her eyes fiercely at the cat Xiaomeng on the side, and then looked at the three old ladies who had shed tears on the side and sighed lightly: "Fourth sister, seventh sister, younger sister, long time no see." ”
"Third sister," the three old ladies sighed with tears on their faces, "are you okay?" ”
"It's good, because of the care of my uncles and uncles down there, the other ghosts don't dare to come and bully me," Zhang Shaohua nodded with a smile, and suddenly, as if she remembered something, she turned her head and glared angrily at the four old men who had thrown the chessboard and came to her, and shouted: "You four bastards, who gave me that spell at the beginning?" Uncle, if it weren't for the old lady who used that spell, she wouldn't have been so seriously injured. ”
