Chapter 9 Fraudulent Marriage
The pitiful twig, at this time, was holding a dry old peach tree, miserable and miserable.
"Have you cultivated to perfection? Have you ever seen my master? What about Bai Tang? He is a wolf demon, or have you ever seen a wolf ?......?"
The mountain wind gusted, and the old peach tree stood still in the cold wind.
Not far away, a group of people hugged a well-dressed old man, who was slowly walking along the mountain road. This peach tree grows on the side of the mountain road, and I saw a gray figure under the peach tree from afar, but I didn't care about it as a nearby mountain people.
When passing by the peach tree, the old man glanced at the man casually, continued to walk, walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, turned back and walked under the peach tree. The group turned back, puzzled faces, but didn't dare to ask more.
The old man stroked his gray beard and asked with a kind smile: "Good boy, I see that you are depressed and entangled between your eyebrows and eyes, but what difficulties have you encountered?"
Everyone is convinced, there are so many heads from such a long way, and your presbyopia can still see the eyebrows and eyes of this person holding a peach tree and lowering his head.
Xiaozhi raised his head blankly, looked back, and found that there were such a bunch of people around him at some point, especially the old man in front of him, smiling kindly.
Xiaozhi thought for a moment and said, "I can't find my family. ”
Listening to this voice, it was a girl, very good, and the old man smiled more kindly.
"Oh, can you tell me more about it, maybe the old man can help me or two. ”
Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and he said: "My family's name is Xia Yunze, grandfather, have you ever heard of this name? Have you ever seen him? By the way, and Bai Tang, he is a wolf demon, have you ever seen a wolf?"
Xiaozhi doesn't know about human affairs, thinking that demons and monsters are like people, and they can be seen everywhere, although she has been down the mountain for so long, she has never encountered it once.
Everyone made eye contact with each other for a moment, and they all said in their hearts: "It turned out to be a fool." ”
The old man was stunned, and then his mouth was about to grin to his ears.
Fool is good, very good.
"Are you talking about a white wolf?"
Xiaozhi was pleasantly surprised: "Have you really seen it?"
"I've never seen it. The old man stroked his beard again, and sure enough, he guessed correctly.
"I saw it a few days ago, but now I don't know where to go. It's better for you to stay at your grandfather's house for the time being, and your grandfather will send someone to help you inquire, rather than looking for you alone and headless flies. Although Grandpa's family is not very rich, it can't starve you, so don't dislike it. ”
Everyone said: "You are old and modest, but you are not rich." ”
Xiaozhi was stunned, how to inquire about something, and then he talked about the food and accommodation. But right now, she really didn't know where to look for them, and she finally had some eyebrows, and she couldn't take too much care of them. He whispered, "Don't dislike it." ”
Very good, very good, it's rare to go out and look far away, I didn't expect to be able to pick up a daughter-in-law for that stupid grandson.
The old man was in a good mood, and his steps were much steady.
The old man patted Xiaozhi's hand, how did he like it, and said: "By the way, if you like peach trees, grandpa's house has a yard with peach trees, and there is one bigger than this, so you can live in that yard?"
Twig nodded obediently.
Everyone also came back to their senses at this time, Old Lady Fang was looking for a daughter-in-law for his stupid grandson.
Speaking of his stupid grandson, he was born an idiot. Not to mention that no family is willing to marry their daughter, but this old lady is still picking east and west, this family's unfilial piety, that family's snobbery, this girl is ugly, that maid is greedy for money, procrastination for several years, and the old lady sighs every day. I didn't expect to be able to pick up one for nothing in a few words today, if you are stupid, you have to be stupid, so that your stupid grandson will not be bullied.
And they all went down the mountain for joy.
In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed, and the leaves on the treetops became fewer and fewer, but the Fangfu garden was still full of purple and red.
Xiaozhi sat on the stone bench under the peach tree and worried, this peach tree was indeed bigger than the one on the mountain, and it grew well, and there were not a few insect eyes.
In the past half a month, Xiaozhi has stuffed the delicacies of the mountains and seas into his mouth every day, and the silk and satin have been piled up on his body. But whenever Xiaozhi asked the master about their news, the old lady always smiled kindly and said, "It's almost there, don't worry, don't worry." ”
During this time, Xiaozhi secretly released the little black from time to time to eat delicious food, and there were already maids chewing the root of her tongue behind her back, saying that she was too good to eat.
Mrs. Fang also came to see her a few times, and everything else was satisfied, but she did eat a little too much. The old man of the Fang family is now the magistrate of the county, although he has not scavenged the people's fat and people's ointment, and the house is carved and painted, and it is magnificent, but this has not yet entered the door, and it is really a little ugly to eat like this. That's it, who is a fool.
Xiaozhi is also worried, it is not good to eat and drink for nothing in other people's homes, not to mention that he still has three oil bottles, not to mention that Master and Uncle Bai have no news yet.
She was so worried that she missed two bowls of lunch.
Xiao Hei lay on the leg of the twig, squinting and enjoying the touch of the twig, purring and purring. Until the voice got closer and closer, and Xiao Zhi was about to drive it back to the bamboo basket, Xiao Hei was unusual, stretched his waist, jumped up from the leg of the little branch, stepped on the branch of the peach tree, and disappeared gracefully into the wall.
Twig was stunned, where was this beast going?
Old Man Fang said every day that it was almost there, and the auspicious day of the zodiac he picked was indeed approaching.
The house is full of red silk and red lanterns, and it is full of joy. In order to make Xiaozhi happy, she even asked her subordinates to hang red silk on the peach trees in her yard. The courtyard was full of red silk fluttering, but the twigs were reluctant to sit under the peach tree.
Her room was also full of red eyes, more dazzling than red beans and fruits, she didn't understand why the people of Fang Mansion liked this style all of a sudden, she still preferred something simpler.
Every day, when I was full, I stood in front of the window, looked at the old peach tree, and looked forward to Xiao Hei's coming back soon.
The twig sighed, one was not found, and two more were lost.
Xiaozhi inadvertently glanced at the moon cave door in the courtyard, but was startled. I saw a handsome boy in brocade clothes standing by the door, with a white face, a little sickly, and dull eyes looking at Xiaozhi.
Twig beckoned to him, and he froze, but he ran away.
On this day, in the middle of the night, Xiaozhi was dragged out of the bed by a group of maids, and there were a lot of maids today, scurrying around in the room, too lively.
Xiao Zhi was pulled by them to sit down in front of the bronze mirror, let them smear her face, pile it on her head, and finally help her change into a cumbersome red wedding dress.
Xiaozhi didn't resist, but unfortunately there were many of them, and she couldn't resist it at all.
Before dawn, the morning star was still hanging in the sky.
From the chattering and bird-like words of the maids, Xiaozhi finally figured out that today was her big day! She was getting married! She was fainting!
The people in the house have already been paid by her, and the maids have all gone to the front yard to help, and everyone is extremely relieved to treat a delicious fool.
Xiaozhi sat on the edge of the bed for a while, then got up and walked around the room a few times, and the thought that she was going to be trapped here for the rest of her life made her really restless. Although she is only sixteen or seventeen years old now, she has lived for almost three thousand years. This time not only lost three people, but also caught himself.
