264 Knock at the door

Shen Xingyue followed behind Yao Mu, Mrs. He was holding the child, and was supported by several girls at the back, Shen Xingyue felt that her mood must be very complicated at this time, and asked the girl to be careful and steady, but don't faint accidentally. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The old man of the He family didn't show his face, He Shaoyong was wearing a red dress and stood at the door to greet him, and he was stunned when he saw Yao Mu, obviously trying to wonder if he knew such a friend.

Yao Mu changed the topic to White Bone Mountain as he spoke, and said very casually; "Uncle, I heard that there is a White Bone Mountain in Thundering City, which is a very scary place, is it true? That mountain is full of bones? ”

"That's all bones?" The coachman laughed: "There is a white bone mountain in Thundering City, which is quite a normal mountain, and the scenery is not bad." However, it is said that there were monsters hundreds of years ago, and many people died, and even the imperial court at that time was alarmed and invited a master to collect demons. Later, the monster was gone, and the name of White Bone Mountain was not changed, but it was still called. ”

"Oh, I see." Yao Mu looked at the coachman's appearance and knew that he couldn't ask anything from him. When people talk about idle things, they all do ten, ten do hundred, and say, if there are any strange clues in the White Bone Mountain, they will never pass by so lightly.

Shen Xingyue leaned against the window and said: "Uncle, this is the first time we have come to Thundering City to play, you said that the White Bone Mountain is beautiful, but what is the famous place to go, is it just a mountain, then there is nothing to see." ”

The coachman glanced at Shen Xingyue and said, "Look at the dress, this young lady is not married yet." ”

It's not the Xiao family before, Shen Xingyue naturally doesn't have to dress up as that noble lady anymore, although it can't be seen whether she is married or not, but obviously she and Yao Mu are not like husband and wife, whether it is a friend or a brother and sister, who can go out to play with a man like this, it can be seen that she is still single and has no husband.

"yes." Shen Xingyue didn't hesitate, but said curiously: "But whether this is a good scenery or not, what does it have to do with whether I am married or not?" ”

"Because in this mountain of bones, it is said that there is a temple of sending children." The coachman said mysteriously: "I haven't been there, but I've heard about it." Said that it was a long time ago after the master subdued the monsters of the White Bone Mountain, but it worked, those women who can't give birth to children, as long as they go into the mountain to go around, those who are destined can see this temple of sending children, sincerely go in and worship, and when they come back, they will be able to get their wishes, but they are all baby girls, although everyone wants a boy, but it is better than nothing. ”

"Sending the Child Temple?" Shen Xingyue said: "There are such legends in many places, but it is indeed quite unique to say that all the babies born are girls. Although I didn't get married, I have a sister-in-law at home who has given birth to several sons in a row, and I dream of having a daughter. Yao Mu, why don't we go into the mountains to go around, if we are fated to meet and worship, even if it is not me, maybe the gods see our sincerity, and they can also make their wishes come true. ”

Yao Mu just raised his eyebrows and said yes. Although he is willing to entrust the most important people and things to Shen Xingyue when his life and death are unknown, the two of them have always been very serious, and they don't make the slightest frivolous joke. If you change to Jinyi at this time, if you don't take advantage of your words, you won't be able to eat and sleep.

Although the coachman felt that he still had to go to the gods and worship the Bodhisattva himself, he would not be able to confront the guests, but he just muttered a few words in his heart. Looking at Shen Xingyue's appearance, she is just a little girl of seventeen or eighteen, although the children who got married early are a few years old, but it is not too late to get married, so she is naturally not so sensible.

The carriage had been on the road for most of the hour, and in the distance you could see the gates of Thundering City, which was not as prosperous as Windy City, and the sky was already bright and full of people.

Yao Mu gave a lot of money, and when he entered the city, the coachman said: "Young Master Yao, this is the place, where are you going to go in the city, why don't I send you there directly." ”

Yao Mu thought about it: "Then go to He's house, He's family in Thundering City, who is doing business, do you know their family?" ”

Obviously, it is impossible for a city to have only one family surnamed He, but since Mrs. He can say so, it is obvious that this He family has a certain reputation in Thundering City, and everyone should know it when they say it.

Sure enough, the coachman didn't think about it and said: "He family, how can you not know that we are one of the best businessmen in the city, but they are rich." Hehe, it is said that today the He family married a new daughter-in-law, and many people went to watch the ceremony. ”

"Yes, who in his family marries a daughter-in-law?" Yao Mu said: "The old man of the He family is old, isn't there only a son under his knees, I haven't heard that there is a young master of the right age in the family." ”

The coachman also seemed to be a gossip, and said mysteriously: "It seems that the son is quite familiar with the He family, is he a distant relative of the He family, haven't you heard about the recent events of their family?" ”

"What's the matter?" Yao Mu didn't look very interested: "It's indeed a relative from afar, but I haven't been in contact for many years, and this time I'm just passing by here to go around, so I don't know much about his family's situation, so it's better for my husband to tell me first, so as not to say the wrong thing for a while." ”

The coachman sighed like this, and then lowered his voice and said: "This thing is not glorious, just listen to it, if you go for a while, don't show a strange look, lest your relatives lose face." ”

Yao Mu nodded again and again, and even Shen Xingyue poked her head out of the window and listened with interest.

The coachman walked slowly on the stone road by the carriage and said: "This He family originally had a wife, and they have been married for five or six years. But a few days ago, suddenly a descendant of the He family sent a wedding card outside, saying that the young master was going to marry a wife, everyone was surprised, and this question only knew that it was a concubine in the house who was pregnant with a child and wanted to be corrected. ”

This situation is roughly the same as what Mrs. He said, Shen Xingyue couldn't help but say: "Why does Thundering City have such a custom, the concubine can be corrected when she is pregnant with a child?" And Mrs. He should also have a child, can't she have children? ”

"Yes, who said no, and I just gave birth to a child not long ago, so it's estimated that it's only a few months." The coachman patted his thigh: "It's a girl, but a girl is nothing, who can guarantee that this first child will give birth to a boy." Mrs. He is young again, even if she can't give birth, she will bring the concubine's son to her room to raise her, how can there be any reason to give way. This is not so particular now, if this was before, it would be illegal to take a concubine as a wife. ”

Although the coachman has nothing to do with the He family, let alone Mrs. He, he still looks indignant when it comes to this matter, and he is very indignant for her, as he speaks, the carriage slows down, and he can already see the gate of the He Mansion, and the coachman sighs: "This girl just can't marry far away, if Mrs. He's maiden home is in Thundering City, then how dare the He family do such a thing, it's not to bully her own family, so no one can stand up for her?" ”

"Who says no one can stand up for her?" Yao Mu smiled coldly: "I'm here to give her a head." ”

The coachman was stunned, obviously a little confused: "You, who are you?" ”

"I'm her mother's family." Shen Xingyue opened the car door and got out of the car, and said: "You may not know yet, the little concubine of the He family has great ability and courage, I don't know where to hire a killer to kill Mrs. He's mother and daughter to make way for herself, if it weren't for God's eyes and happened to let us meet, at this time it would have become two unjust souls in the mountains." ”

"Ahh The coachman opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak.

The He family is considered to be a very magnificent family in Thundering City, and they have also worked hard to straighten out this little concubine, and they saw a red piece from a distance, which only felt festive in the eyes of others, and in the eyes of Mrs. He, she couldn't help but feel angry, but in the eyes of Shen Xingyue and Yao Mu, it was ghostly, and she frowned.

In order to appear less powerful, Yao Mu temporarily summoned a few little ghosts to turn into human forms, and he didn't have to say anything or do anything, just follow Mrs. He to take care of it, and the little ghosts had the opportunity to see the impermanent adults in the underworld, they were simply flattered, and they couldn't wait to kneel down and kowtow to say hello, and they were naturally very obedient.

The He family was lively at this time, although it was said that He Shaoyong helped the concubine to take the throne has been rumored to be a joke in Thundering City, but it was just a private smile, and the face still had to be passed, and the business had to be done, so there were still many guests who came to congratulate the gift, and they were all smiling, as if he was marrying seriously.

If it is a normal marriage ceremony, the groom should be on the way to marry the bride at this time, but it is a concubine in the house, and it saves a lot of etiquette for marrying.

The He family has a head and a face in Thundering City, and there is naturally an endless stream of guests who marry like this, no matter what they think in their hearts, they all say hello again and again.

When Mrs. He saw this formation, she only felt that the blood rushed straight to her head, and she almost fainted when she saw the darkness in front of her, but fortunately, the little girl next to her hurriedly supported her, and then she stood firmly.

Shen Xingyue watched it clearly from the side, patted her lightly and said, "Don't worry, today, your husband's concubine will not be able to enter the door no matter what, if you don't meet it, it's just that, since we have met, no matter what happens, we will always carry it." ”

Mrs. He exhaled restrainedly and nodded.

Although Yao Mu looks like a gentleman and elegant, he is really not a gentle person, and sometimes he is ruthless in doing things, and after getting off the carriage, he walked to the door of He Mansion with a big grin, and stopped in the middle.
