Chapter 44: Bad Omen and Good Omen
The next day, the two of them, who were used to getting up early, slept lazily, and refused to get up no matter how much Ren Shui'er called.
It was almost noon before the two of them slowly walked out of the room.
Zhou Yuchang stretched and breathed in the fresh air. Since I came into this world, if nothing else, at least it feels great that I don't have to rush to class.
In his previous life, he was either busy writing papers, or desperately completing group assignments, and from time to time he had to deal with tasks handed over by his tutor, and he was very busy almost every day. Now that there is no one to urge him to hand in his homework, he doesn't have to worry about his papers, and there are no tasks with strange requirements issued by his tutor, life is really beautiful!
Not only that, but God also gave him two beautiful ladies, which is simply icing on the cake!
Of course, you can't delay the right thing to do, lose your illusions, and meet your parents.
After lunch, after resting for a while according to the custom, Zhou Yu accompanied He Shuiling back to Xiaolong Village with a large bag and a small bag, and as for the livestock and the like, let the people over there in Juxian Tower send it back when the time comes. For this reason, he also specially asked Chen Jin to borrow the carriage. It's not good to borrow things like this all the time, Zhou Yu feels that he has to have a carriage at home, anyway, the yard is big enough, and raising horses is not a big problem.
When the carriage entered Xiaolong Village, the country road was still bumpy and very narrow, and the coachman had to be energetic, otherwise the result would be that the horse would turn over. In the carriage, Zhou Yu was afraid that He Shuiling would bump into her, so he simply held her in his arms, which was the safest. He Shuiling was a little shy, but she didn't refuse, she was a person who was going to get married, and this contact must be no problem.
The carriage could not go to the He family's house at the crossing, and the two had to get out of the car and walk a small dirt road.
He Shuiling and Zhou Yu arrived at the He family's house, but found that the old couple was not at home, and it was estimated that they went to the field.
Zhou Yu first put the rice noodles into the jar, then froze the meat, and then according to He Shuiling's instructions, put fifty taels of silver in the box containing the money of the second elder.
He Shuiling saw that he was busy, so he quickly poured him a glass of water and asked him to sit down and rest for a while.
People living in the countryside pay attention to the sunrise and the sun, and they are afraid that they will not want to see their father and mother for an afternoon.
So the two decided to go to the field themselves to find the man back.
"Daddy! Mother! When she came to her own land, He Shuiling saw the second elder who was farming from a distance.
Hearing this familiar voice, both of them raised their heads in unison, and He Shuiling waved her hand to them excitedly.
"Lao He, do you think that's our daughter?" Mother He wiped her eyes with a sweat towel, turned her head and asked Father He.
"Why not? The girl is back! Hey, the person next to her seems to be Xiao Yu? Father He also looked at He Shuiling and the others.
"Let's go, let's take a look!" Mother He walked away with a hoe, and it seemed that she was also thinking about her daughter.
"You wait for me......" Father He also hurried to follow her.
"Daddy! Mother! He Shuiling excitedly held her parents' hands.
"Shui Ling, why are you back? How long can I stay when I come back this time? He Mu hurriedly asked.
"Uncle, aunt!" Zhou Yu on the side also smiled and greeted the second elder.
"Xiao Yu, you're back too!" Father He looked at Zhou Yu and said.
"Dad, mother, I have something to tell you, let's go home first!" He Shuiling said.
"You kid, the work in the field hasn't been finished yet, you and your mother should go back first!" Father He said that he was going to continue back to the field.
"Dad, I'm really in trouble, let's go home first!" He Shuiling couldn't help but say something, and forcibly pulled the two away.
"You girl......" Although Father He complained, he still followed He Shuiling.
Back home, He Shuiling took out the clothes made for the two: "Dad, mother, this is the clothes I made for you, do you like it or not?" ”
"Why do you think you're spending all this money? Your dad and I have clothes to wear! He Mu looked at the exquisite material and couldn't help complaining.
"This is different, Brother Xiaoyu and I are going to get married, this is a dowry, right......" He Shuiling lowered her head the more she said.
"What do you say? Are you and Xiao Yu going to get married? He Mu asked in surprise.
"Yes......" He Shuiling's face also turned red.
Even Zhou Yu was directly silent at this moment. After all, it was the first time for him to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law!
"However, Xiao Yu is not ...... with the girl of the Feng family" Father He said half of his words, because Zhou Yu was present, it was difficult to continue.
"Dad, Brother Xiao Yu is good to me, I am already very satisfied if I can marry him!" He Shuiling sat down beside Father He and said.
"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely be good to Shui Ling!" Zhou Yu also agreed. But this awkward atmosphere has not eased.
"Brother Xiao Yu gave me a generous dowry, bought food for the family, and the meat was already frozen. In addition, Brother Xiao Yu didn't know what you liked, so he left fifty taels of silver and put it in the box you usually hold copper coins...... You see, I'm married in a dignified way! ”
Hearing He Shuiling say this, the two hurriedly checked the things at home and found that it was really what He Shuiling said. What surprised them the most was the fifty taels of silver, and the two of them had lived for decades, and they had never seen so much money at once.
What else is there to say about this? Virtuous son-in-law, virtuous son-in-law!
The doubts on the second elder's face had long since vanished, replaced by a satisfied smile.
Now that the father-in-law and mother-in-law have successfully won it, the next thing is logical. Zhou Yu informed the father and mother of the wedding date of the two, and also arranged that a car would be sent to pick up the two elders on the day of the wedding banquet. Where did his father and mother ride in a carriage? Instinctively, he excused himself, saying that he couldn't get used to sitting still, or he walked by himself.
Zhou Yu smiled and said: "We are all juniors in the car, but you two are walking, if you let the family know, you must not poke my backbone in the back!" ”
couldn't resist Zhou Yu's repeated insistence, and He's father and mother finally agreed.
Before leaving, He Shuiling did not forget to tell her father: "That meat can't be left for too long, you can eat it as soon as possible, now that our family is rich, don't suffer yourself like before!" ”
"Okay, good, mother knows!" He Mu said with a smile.
After Zhou Yu and the others left, He Mu looked at the backs of the two and sighed: "Our family is finally living a good life!" ”
"That's not it, I said a long time ago, our daughter, it's a rich life! You see, our son-in-law has a lot of potential......" Father He also smiled.
As the saying goes, a mother is more expensive than a son, and a son is more expensive, and this sentence can be regarded as a miracle in Father He.
In the carriage, He Shuiling was deceived into her arms by Zhou Yu again on the grounds of "afraid that she would bump into it".
"Brother Xiaoyu, my father and mother are very satisfied with you!" He Shuiling, who was lying in Zhou Yu's arms, said happily.
"That is, if I put a hundred taels of silver in that box, they should be more satisfied." Zhou Yu said with a smile.
"you! He Shuiling patted Zhou Yu's chest and said with some complaints: "They have been poor for too long, they haven't seen so much money, and they haven't seen money!" ”
Zhou Yu hugged her tighter and said, "I'm not kidding......"
The sunset outside the car sprinkled gold in the wilderness, the two people in the car were sweet and warm, the horses passed slowly, and Xiaolong Village at this moment was frozen into a beautiful silhouette.
As soon as Zhou Yu arrived at the door of the house, he found Chen Jin standing there waiting for him.
Zhou Yu helped He Shuiling get out of the carriage, and then turned his head to him and said, "Eh, it's not that I won't return your car, so why don't you chase me to my house?" ”
"Who told you about the carriage? I'm here today because I have an important thing to tell you, no, if you go to your father-in-law's house, I'm going to intercept you here. Chen Jin said.
"Brother Xiao Yu......" He Shuiling shook Zhou Yu's arm and looked at him as if asking for help.
"Shui Ling, you go in first, I'll talk to Lao Chen." Zhou Yu sent He Shuiling into the courtyard first, and then rushed back and said, "What's the big deal, I have to bother His Royal Highness King Yu to come in person?" ”
"Let me tell you, this morning I asked a master from the capital to calculate a hexagram, saying that I have a big omen tomorrow and need to go to Luoshui to avoid trouble." Chen Jin said nervously.
Zhou Yu said disdainfully: "You are a man, what do you want?" Pure nonsense! ”
"This great omen does not distinguish between men and women, there is it!" Chen Jin didn't know what Zhou Yu was talking about.
"Then tell me, what exactly is this great omen?" Zhou Yu was not very interested in these feudal superstitions.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed, how can the master tell me? However, the master said that if you want to avoid this catastrophe, you must go to Luoshui to burn incense and make talismans. ”
"Then you can just go, why did you come to tell me?" Zhou Yu expressed great doubts.
"Because the master also said that although I have a bad omen, but the people who have been friends with me recently have a good omen, if you want to make the happy event come true, you also need to go to Luoshui to burn incense and make talismans. I think about it, this person should be you, so I came to inform you! Chen Jin felt that he was really a friend.
"Thank you, I'm not interested." Zhou Yu turned around and was about to leave.
"Don't mind, let me tell you, the hexagram that this master calculated in the capital is ten hexagrams and nine spirits, how many people want to see him but can't see him! Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the lady who is about to pass through the door, right? Chen Jin hurriedly grabbed him and said.
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yu turned his head and asked.
"Look, you're getting married recently, this is a happy event, right? The master calculated it, and said that you also got Luoshui, in my opinion, this is not for you, but for your second lady. If you don't go, in case something goes wrong......" Chen Jin's words became more and more infiltrating.
"Phew! What to say! Shui Ling and I are fine, nothing happens! Isn't it just an incense charm? I'll go tomorrow! Zhou Yu said quickly.
You see, this has a person who cares, and if he is not superstitious, he also becomes superstitious.
"Gotcha! Tomorrow is half in the afternoon, I will be on time! Successfully said that Zhou Yu was moved, and Chen Jin got into the carriage and left.
"Nerves!" Zhou Yu took a sip and turned around and entered the courtyard.
"Xiao Yu, His Royal Highness King Yu has been standing at the door for more than half an hour, telling him that he won't come in, is there anything wrong?" Feng Yue asked worriedly.
"Harm, I don't know where he went to find a charlatan to calculate a hexagram for him, and insisted that he was a big murderer and I was very happy, and I didn't have to get any incense and charm by the Luoshui to burn something, I really have nothing to do!" Zhou Yu scolded.
"People are princes anyway, and maybe they really know some masters outside the world! Why don't you give it a trip? Feng Yue persuaded him.
"Didn't he just want me to go with him? Hey, come on, let's go on a trip, anyway, the car picks up and delivers, and it doesn't take a lot of legs. Zhou Yu waved his hand and said, "When will the meal begin?" I'm hungry! ”
"I'm waiting for you, come on!"
Late at night, Jincui Building.
"Qing'er, let's go to Luoshui again tomorrow." Su Wen took off the hairpin and said.
"Miss, are you still thinking about that son!" During this time, Su Wen ran to Luoshui from time to time, but the boy never appeared.
"Let's go again, one last time, if it's really not possible, then so be it." Su Wen looked in the mirror and peeled off the fat powder on her face, revealing her already very pretty face.
"If you want me to say, you're enchanted!" Qing'er laughed at her.
"It doesn't matter if you're enchanted or evil, as long as you can see him again......" Su Wen rubbed the volumes of poems.
"Miss is not saved!" Qing'er muttered as she helped her sort out tomorrow's clothes.
