Chapter 266: Marriage
Of course, Lin Qi said yes, but he still asked: "The love silk grass is so thin, even if the rain is sufficient, can it ripen this autumn?" ”
Yue Lao sighed and said: "The marriage of men and women in the world is all involved in the red rope, if the love silk grass does not grow well, the red rope will not be woven too thickly, and the love will not last too long. ”
Speaking of this, Yue Lao's old face looked even more vicissitudes, Lin Qi couldn't imagine that there was such a statement, and thought about it: "I'll go and see the love silk grass." After speaking, he walked towards the more than ten acres of land, and when he got closer, he squatted down and looked carefully, and saw that these silk grasses really looked the same as cotton, but the difference was that they looked much more delicate, not as rough as cotton, perhaps because of the lack of rain, one by one wilted, all of them were listless, some of the roots had been yellowed, and the land was also a little dry and cracked.
Lin Qi secretly called it a fluke, if he came a few days late, presumably more than 100 acres of love silk grass would have withered, wouldn't he have to wait until next year? He can wait, Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Youliang, may not be able to wait, not to mention that Zhong Kui understood to him when he came, the ridge of the love silk grass can only be used when it is dried up after it has flowered, and the love silk grass that has not grown is no different from the weeds.
Lin Qi pondered for a while, he secretly colluded with Hebo, it would not be a problem to rain a little, and when these love silk grasses bloomed and produced cotton wool, as long as he stole one to connect it into a thread and tie it to Fang Zimo and Xuan'er's ankles, it would be done.
More than ten acres of land of love silk grass is fundamental, Lin Qi didn't dare to be careless, turned the jade ring, called Lao Li, and asked him to bring the three hundred grass head gods to come as soon as possible, with Lao Li three hundred grass head gods to protect the love silk grass, Lin Qi is also more at ease, not to mention that he can't stay in this place every day, Fang Zimo's affairs still need him to worry about it.
Lin Qi squatted on the ridge of the field, pondering before and after, he was still a little worried, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang would fight, but after thinking about it, Chen Youliang was defeated last time, even if he started again, it would take about a year, and he would never fight Zhu Yuanzhang in a short time. “
Lin Qi said: "As long as you take care of it properly, the rain is sufficient, it should be fine, the old fairy can rest assured, the younger generation will definitely do their best, I have summoned my three hundred grass gods, let them come here to take care, and I will find a way to ask for rain." ”
Elder Yue sighed and said, "That's good, that's good, hey!" The old man offended a wicked person and made a mess of this year's red rope, many men and women who are destined to delay their marriage, but they don't dare to delay it next year, otherwise they don't know what chaos to cause. ”
Yue Lao sighed and sat on the ground, and took out a mess of red rope from the cloth bag around his waist, which was just a head out of the way, but the red rope in the back is getting bigger and bigger, almost as little as a big watermelon, and I don't know what kind of material Yue Lao's cloth bag is made of, and it can hold so many red ropes.
Under the moonlight, Yue Lao carefully untied the messy red rope that was entangled, his expression was focused and cautious, as if the red rope was something particularly fragile, and he didn't untie any of them after half a day's effort, Lin Qi looked curious and asked: "It's just some red ropes, even if there are some miracles, there is no need to work so hard, it's better to cut the mess with a quick knife, use some strength, and pull it out, it's a big deal to connect it." ”
Yue Lao shook his head and said: "What do you know, in your eyes it is just a red rope, but in the sentient men and women is the fate, the so-called fate is determined in heaven, the part depends on the artificial, the first fate can have a share, the fate is not afraid of experience, the fate does not need to be deliberately arranged, the fate of this kind of thing is the most fragile, missed the time, the place, maybe you missed this life, so the red rope is extremely fragile, has been disturbed, the most difficult to separate, like you said to pull out, if it is broken, the connection is, then it is not a knot?" This relationship will not last long. ”
It is difficult to explain this kind of thing clearly sentence by sentence, Lin Qi also seemed to understand it after hearing it, and asked curiously: "You are in charge of all the marriages between men and women in the world, and you tie the red rope to their feet?" ”
Yue Lao smiled: "I have so much kung fu there, don't I have to be tired to death, I am in charge of the marriage of the world, everyone's marriage in the world is in this marriage book, I just according to the above records, the woven red rope is sent to the hands of the city god everywhere, and the little ghost under the city god will naturally tie the red rope according to the name on the marriage book." I'm just planting these love silk grasses and supervising the marriage of the world. ”
Lin Qi asked again: "Tie the red rope and the two can be together?" ”
Yue Lao shook his head and said: "The red rope is tied together, which is to tie the fate of two people together, and the fate of many couples is that one matchmaker meets another suitable matchmaker at the right time." The two matchmakers were just good at this, and when they saw the girl and the boy marrying and starting a family under their matchmaking, they felt that they had become a good thing and had great merit. It's like two matchmakers from a bad place being invited to a birthday banquet at the same time, which happens to be at the same wine table. A matchmaker said that the young man in my village was twenty-four years old and strong, and another matchmaker said that the girl in my village was twenty-one years old and diligent. Returning to the village to make peace, it means that the red rope has been tied to the ankles of the two men and women. ”
Xu is the old man has been depressed for a long time, Lin Qi can answer whatever he asks, but he is also happy, Lin Qi asked again: "If some people have no fate, do you record them in the marriage book in your hand, and you have fate?" ”
Yue Lao said: "That's as simple as you think, fate is providence, part is artificial, fate is not, what?" Marriage is the accumulation of cause and effect in previous lives, you see! Saying that, when he opened the booklet, Lin Qi stretched out his head to look, and saw that some blank spaces on the booklet were faintly revealed, while some names gradually dimmed until they disappeared, and the handwriting on the booklet was constantly changing, which was strange and unpredictable.
Yue Lao said: "Those names that have disappeared are all people whose fate has been exhausted in this life, and the names that come out of the new life are all destined to meet in this life, and those with names in the books will only be useful if they are tied with red ropes, and if they have no names, even if the red rope is tied to the ankles of the two people, it is also shallow, and there will be no good results. ”
Speaking of this, Yue Lao sighed and said: "Just now you asked me if the red rope that was knotted can be used, and the old man told you that it can be used, but it will not last long, that is, it will be a matter of two or three years, and in the end it is destined to be separated by Lao Yan, but it will miss the real marriage of the two parties, so I don't tie the red rope to Hebo's daughter Xuan'er and Fang Zimo, do you understand?" The old man is not a pedantic person, and he is also an old friend of Hebo, but there is a way to do this, why should I shirk it? There are some things you can't do. ”
Lin Qi was stunned, he could hear that there was something in the old words of the moon, presumably he could see that he and Hebo were acquainted, since this was the case, it would be meaningless to pretend again, Lin Qi smiled, scratched his head and said: "How did the old fairy see that I knew Hebo?" ”
Yue Lao smiled: "When you say that there is a way to call the wind and rain, the old man will know, Hebo is the god of the river, and he is the god of water here, if he doesn't speak, who dares to drop a drop of rain?" You invite other water gods, people don't care about this piece, who will cause this trouble and offend Hebo? So the old man knew that you must have met Hebo, and he must have invited you to think of a way, otherwise why would the old man talk to you so much? ”
This time it was Lin Qi's turn to frown, and he thought he was smart, but he didn't know that he had already been seen through by Yue Lao, and he thought about it, Yue Lao was a god, and he had to live for at least a thousand years, and the eight kings of the millennium had become fine, let alone Yue Lao.
Lin Qi said embarrassedly: "The younger generation has no malice, even if Hebo is wrong, it is also for the sake of the children, pity the hearts of parents in the world, you two have been friends for many years, you should also know his temper, presumably you will not care too much, you will not be for some trivial things, you really don't get along with each other, if you can have a chance to help the two, the younger generation is also duty-bound." ”
Yue Lao sighed and said, "Do you know why the old man saw you?" That's because Xuan'er and Fang Zimo have tossed three times and twice, and they already have a fate, but this fate is a bad fate, and the old man will not tie the red rope, but there are some things that the old man can't do, and others can't do it, do you understand? ”
Lin Qi's eyes lit up, the emotional Yue Lao wanted to entrust him with this matter, so it was good, he finally had an explanation, and the three hundred iron-billed pelicans could also get it, and it was not a bad fate to care about him Lin Qi's? Anyway, he doesn't have a good impression of Xuan'er and Fang Zimo, they are all self-righteous, as long as they can make this pair of dog men and women better for a while, the iron-billed pelican is in hand, and at that time, the two of them are human heads and dog heads, and they have nothing to do with him Lin Qi.
Lin Qi said with a smile: "As long as it's fate, you can't look at it or not, the younger generation is not talented, and is willing to take care of this idle matter." ”
Yue Lao was silent for a moment, and threw the messy red rope to Lin Qi and said: "The old man is old, his eyes are not good, if you have time, help the old man untie a few, if there are so many or two missing, it is inevitable." ”
Lin Qi said with a smile: "The younger generation respects the old and the virtuous the most, how can you let you do such a superficial job?" It's good for the juniors to come, it's good for the juniors to come......" said and grabbed the messy red rope in his hand, the red rope was really strange, Lin Qi felt a faint warmth in the palm of his hand, and secretly said in his heart: "The red rope is so strange, if you can steal ten or eight more, you can use it later." ”
As soon as I thought of this, I listened to Yue Lao say leisurely: "Although it is messy, it is inevitable that there will be one or two less, if there is too little, it will not be good." ”
