Chapter 13 of "Ying Niang" is the festival of Gui Gui

People sometimes have to believe in their fate.

Qiao Banxian'er stood up for six or seven days, and there was no taste at all. More than a dozen people from all over the house gathered around the firewood house, for fear that something would happen. In this big summer, there was not even a single fly to be recruited, this is Qiao Banxian'er's life. He shouldn't have died, but if he wants to renew this life, it doesn't seem so easy at the moment. There were more than a dozen people in a circle, and there was not a single immortal. There is no immortal in this world!

I said, "Wait." The next time Luo Chen Xiu came to ask him to think of a way, he didn't know where he was romantic. ”

Jin idiot said that there was news from Beiyuan the day before yesterday, that is, about Luo Chenxiu, saying that he was going to Jingdu to do some private affairs, and no one knew what he was doing. He also said that he also had a few female friars from the Star Death Academy with him.

Night Charm teased: "Yingge Yanyu, presumably that prodigal son has long forgotten about us people." ”

Jin Idiot smiled: "It's just you who forget, what do you have to do with us?"

Aunt Yun said: "It's good to be young, and it's sad for such a trivial matter." My dead man, if I can come back from death, I will worship God all day long. ”

I heard that Aunt Yun's man went to discuss business with the elves, and eighty percent of them were delayed on the road. The elves are quite friendly to the Terrans. Presumably, Aunt Yun was worried that her man was taken away by the female elf. When she said these sour words, she forgot that she had married that man just to find a reassuring support. Listening to her aunt's relay, Aunt Yun said that her man was like a pure-blooded demon person, and his appearance was outstanding, outstanding, and eye-catching. My aunt picked up again, and of course, it was not very exciting.

In the afternoon, Mr. Cheng from the porter came. He said that someone brought a small bottle and left. I don't think the medicine bottle is very strange, but there are four delicate small words imprinted on the bottom of the medicine bottle, "Ying Tian follows things". It's something from the palace!

I asked, "What did the man say?"

Cheng Wuyi said: "I just said one thing, my own people." ”

Jin Idiot said: "This is the medicine that can save Qiao Banxian'er, the palace that went forward in three days, and I only got it back now." Fortunately, Qiao Banxian'er just faked her death. ”

Cheng Wuyi shook his head and said: "This matter can't be sloppy, I think that Naluo Gongzi will be back soon, it's better to wait a few days." If medicine can cure it, why should they do it?"

They're referring to the magicians. I also muttered in my heart, if it can be cured with medicine, why bother so much?

I said to the brocade idiot: "According to Mr. Cheng's meaning, put the medicine away first." Take the time to go to Qiao's house and take the mother and daughter here to live. This is also a family reunion. ”

What kind of reunion is this? There should always be a way to think of everything, but I really can't do it now, right?

As night fell, a carriage stopped in front of the house. I looked at the haggard mother and daughter behind the rockery, and I felt a little unbearable. Thinking of the promise I made to the child, to save her father, and to give them a living dead when I didn't fulfill it, I made a mistake in my heart when I thought about it.

Aunt Yun put a straw figure made of hibiscus at the gate, and then several subordinates paved a way from the gate to the courtyard with hibiscus.

Mr. Cheng gave a salute to the little girl of the Qiao family and said, "The young lady has worked hard all the way, please come here!"

Although the little girl's face is not good, her eyes are smart. When she heard Mr. Cheng call her like this, she was so frightened that she jumped aside. Calmed down and asked, "Old man, we are inferior people, so we don't have to salute us." ”

Mr. Cheng laughed and said, "The young lady is polite. I have the responsibility of welcoming guests to the door, and the young lady is a guest, and there are rules for welcoming guests, and this salute is one of the rules. I hope that the young lady will not dodge again. As he spoke, he bowed again.

The little girl looked at Mr. Cheng curiously and said, "Grandpa, why is there a straw man here?"

Mr. Cheng said with a smile: "This is not the custom of my Chengtian City, it is said that after the war between the human and ghost clans ten thousand years ago, there were many skeleton monsters that did not return to the clan land with the ghost army. As a result, these disobedient skeleton monsters scurried around, specifically to scare children. It is said that there is such a family near Shangxu, and there is a child in the family, that is, a child who is younger than you. One day, on a whim, he pierced a straw man. Unexpectedly, since then, the skeleton monster has not been seen again. So, one spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and all the families with children put such a straw man in front of the door to scare the skeleton monster. Eventually, a saint traveled here and discovered this custom, so he reported it to the saint and changed the original Exorcism Festival, which is the first New Day of autumn, to bluff the Ghost Festival. It's just that this name is called, and it is called the Gui Festival by the southerners......"

The little girl listened very seriously, and winked at Mr. Cheng from time to time. Aunt Yun hugged Qiao Niangzi and listened on the side.

I'll never forget that scene. A false porter is a real sage, a false lady is a real girl, and a false lady is a real poor person. I laughed, Mr. Cheng didn't look like a porter, and the Confucian didn't look like a Confucian scholar, the little girl looked like a young lady who had never seen the world, or a poor girl who had opened her eyes, and that Miss Qiao fought hard and straightened her back, not wanting to lose her husband's face in front of this mansion. But his husband was lying in the firewood room in the backyard. I laughed and laughed, and I actually laughed and cried, and I couldn't stop it.

I looked at the sky and said to the brocade idiot: "It's not early, don't let Mr. Cheng be too tired." Let's start the meal in advance. ”

The rice of the Gui Festival is simple, but the little girl of the Qiao family eats all over her face.

Today's holiday, all the servants will go to the table to have a reunion dinner together. Even Mr. Cheng took the initiative to accompany the guests at the table, and he also knew that he couldn't point to me when he coaxed the child. I think that in the whole courtyard, only my aunt can, but my aunt has no appetite for the paste made of osmanthus and cashmere rice. Because there's too much candy in this mush. Xiao Candy is a good thing, and the big families buy it privately from the eunuchs, which is the craft of the magician. The candy in the palace is offered in the palace, and these are the treatment of the original princess's mansion.

My aunt once said that no matter how good things are, you can't eat them endlessly, right? Give some to your subordinates and let them take them and distribute them to poor relatives. As a result, because of this incident, Aunt Yun's uncle took Xiao Candy to sell, and because he couldn't tell the origin of this Xiao Candy, he was taken by the government. I was about to go to the government to ask for someone, but my aunt said that why should I owe a favor when I could solve a problem with money? It's worth two silver cakes.

Aunt Yun said that her uncle's life was not worth a piece of silver cake, which made the house ruin. I was annoyed by talking about this all day long, so I said, if you say it again next time, you might as well leave. Since then, she has shut up. I shut up here, and now I'm talking to my aunt. Fortunately, my aunt also likes to listen to her nagging.

No, I drank a bowl of paste cinnamon porridge and withdrew. I guess I went to my aunt again, I can imagine who eats as much as he wants, who is sick and doesn't eat much, which child is growing up, and the new little girl eats the same as a kitten...... In short, it's all a little of sesame grain.

I looked at the little girl and wanted to say something, otherwise I felt a little indebted to her. Of course, it's useless to say as much as you want, it's still owed. But I couldn't speak, and I didn't even ask the little girl's name that time.

Mr. Cheng glanced at me and said to the little girl, "Little Shoufu, grandpa will serve you another bowl!"

I wanted to laugh, but I had to hold back. A child from a poor family took such a name. I don't know what Qiao Banxian'er thinks. If the people on the streets of Chengtian City knew that he had given his daughter such a name, it is estimated that he would never be able to open it. He hasn't saved a few taels of silver in his life, and he is still rich, what kind of wealth is he keeping?

I said, "Mr. Cheng, give the little girl a name." ”

Unexpectedly, the little girl's head nodded like a chicken pecking rice, and she didn't care about her mother's nervous look at all.

I asked the woman, "Mrs. Qiao, I don't know the name, but does it come from?"

The woman shook her head and said, "No, when I gave birth to her, there wasn't even a grain of rice at home. The east borrowed grain, and the west split money, and this day was finally mixed up. I told my half-fairy that our girl can't live like this in the future. There must be a lot of money! Not only must there be a lot of money, but it must be able to keep it. The half-immortal said that when he was very young, he met an immortal and taught him to read palmistry. I don't understand it now, but it is said that a person's palmistry can tell the future. I said, then you can show me, the half-immortal said, every time I watch it, I exchange my life for it, and every deduction is a transaction. Later, I believed it, you look at my family half immortal, a few years younger than me, before the age of standing, like a little old man. So saying, the woman began to weep bitterly.

The little girl comforted: "Mother don't cry, eat paste cinnamon porridge." ”

Mr. Cheng didn't seem to be used to seeing a woman crying, or that the woman was crying, which reminded him of the lady in his own family. Put the wooden spoon aside, shook his head and said: "The ancients had poetry clouds, the wild sand covered Xia Wei, and the wall Wei Yang Chunhui." Both the summer grass and the wall grass are born in the desert, and as soon as the summer grass is green, it is swallowed by the sea of sand, while the wall grass can swallow the sea of sand. Since ancient times, this wall grass has been endowed with wealth. Nowadays, in the realm of the human race, this kind of grass cannot be found. It is not common for large families to keep it indoors. This grass has a strong vitality, in this troubled world, can live well, what fame and wealth, but is just a passing cloud. Grandpa changed your name to Bi Wei for you, what do you think?" Mr. Cheng looked at the little girl with a smile, asking for her opinion.

The woman was not assertive, and she hesitated, "Thisβ€”I have to discuss this with our half-fairy." ”

The mother's attitude made the little girl swallow the words back. He lowered his head and ate the mush silently. After eating a few bites, she asked Mr. Cheng: "Grandpa, is wealth the same as true wealth?"

Mr. Cheng smiled and said kindly: "Wealth can be taken away by others, even if you keep it, you can't keep it;

The little girl said excitedly: "Mother, I want to be really rich!"

The daughter's mood seemed to be more important than the wealth, and the woman smiled. got up and dragged the little girl to Mr. Cheng and gave a solemn salute, which was regarded as thanking Mr. Cheng for his grace.

Mr. Cheng's face was full of relief, and he asked again: "I gave the name." I don't know, I'm the porter, can \bbe your father-in-law?"

"What you said is that you are the concierge of the princess's mansion, and when you go out, you are equivalent to a six-rank official. We are taking advantage of this child's father!" the woman became bold.

At this time, I found out that she and Qiao Banxian'er were really husband and wife.

The little girl was pressed to the ground by her mother, and she was forced to kowtow three times. The mother urged: "Tell me quickly, Minnu Biwei, meet your father-in-law?"

I couldn't hold back my laughter and said, "Are you an official?"

The crowd laughed so loudly that the woman's face turned crimson. At this time, it seems that her face is much better, and she looks a little plump and peugeot.

I said, "Although Mr. Cheng is a porter, he is a great Confucian in the world. How can such a character accept a righteous girl so hastily? Jin idiot, you go and ask Aunt Yun to arrange it. Besides, today, Mr. Cheng accepted his righteous daughter, and the princess's mansion will celebrate for three days. On the long street in front of the door, arrange a flowing water seat. Whoever comes, be courteous, and accept and thank all gifts, no matter how heavy or small. ”

Mr. Cheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss, is this too much?"

"It's a mirror, I'm going to see what ghosts and gods can come out!"

Mr. Cheng said, "Are you targeting the Walker Dao Platform?"

"If you don't say it, I forgot, you have to choose a name for this hundred-zhang long street banquet. ”

Mr. Cheng smiled knowingly and said, "That's called a big dish in the world!"
