Chapter 4 Pointing to the fox as a wife
It is said that the spring snow is the coldest when it melts, and now it is getting colder and colder in the middle of the night, even if he is exercising, the servant who is about to freeze sees a shrine in front of him, and immediately reports to the carriage: "Madam, miss, there is a shrine in front, is it here to rest?" It is not far from Linhua County, and it is not yet time to open the city gate, so you have to wait at the city gate when you rush over. ”
"Then go and see if there is a master in the shrine, and if so, ask if you can go in and rest. A female voice sounded in the carriage, although deliberately flat, it still made the steward's heart flutter.
He hurriedly lowered his head, not daring to look at the jade hand that was holding up the curtain, and responded: "Yes, madam." ”
"Slow, let Xingzhu ask. I don't know why the people inside suddenly changed their minds, and then a maid came down from the carriage, although it was a maid, and she was still young, but her eyebrows were picturesque, especially a pair of bright eyes, with some flattery for no reason, and she was given the surname Hu by the main family, which was the wife's eldest maid Hu Xingzhu.
The steward was also promoted not long ago, although he didn't understand why the wife of the second room of the Hu family dared to use such a beautiful maid, after all, all hostesses generally don't like this color, but they are subordinates, and they are not as close as the other party and their wives, so they dare not show a penny, and they have to accompany the smiling face.
Hu Xingzhu did things neatly, and went directly to knock on the door, Su Ziji heard it inside, and asked, "Who?"
Hu Xingzhu saw the young man reading on the side of the bonfire turned around, her face turned red, and she made a curtsy salute: "We are relatives of the Hu family, we are here in a hurry, the city gate has not been opened, and there is wind and snow, I don't know if we can come in to rest and avoid the snow?"
It is rare to rush overnight, Su Ziji looked at it a few more times, and the maid's face turned even redder.
"Come in, it's a shrine, and I'm borrowing it. Su Ziji replied.
Hu Xingzhu went back to report to his wife, and the voice came from the carriage again: "Then go over and rest." ”
The carriage slowly rushed over, and surrounded the open space at the entrance of the shrine, a few entered the main hall of the shrine, and most of them took shelter from the wind and snow in the wing room, and there was a female guard who was vigilantly staring at Su Ziji, young, handsome, scholarly - highly dangerous!
Then the women got out of the car, and the young women and maidens in the middle of them were veiled, and were surrounded by several maids, who sat in the opposite corner far away, and also made a fire, and took out the food to bake, and when he passed by, he knew the courtesy, looked down, and could smell a faint fragrance.
"Although I don't know the face of the second daughter, but at a glance, I can see that the temperament is quite good, and the background is quite good, but this has nothing to do with me, it is better to continue to study, and the experience value is my own. ”
Thinking like this, Su Ziji read aloud again, not noticing that the young woman and the girl suddenly frowned and their noses moved.
"Let the people of the world wear all the clothes to bear the sacrifice. It is like on it, as it is on its side. ”
"Shun Qi's great filial piety is also with! virtue is a saint, respected as the Son of Heaven, rich in the four seas. The ancestral shrine is feasted on, and the descendants are protected. ”
When the young woman and the girl heard this, their eyes swept away, and they stared at a bloodstain, and everyone else saw the boiled pheasant, thinking it was chicken blood, but they looked at each other, and suddenly had a different color.
Soon, Hu Xingzhu came over with a plate of pastries: "My wife sent some pastries to show her gratitude, please don't refuse." ”
She smiled on her face, but she was a little surprised in her heart, her own wife and young lady, wouldn't be like this, she looked at Su Ziji, could it be his charm?
Su Ziji didn't know what she thought, so he excused himself, and when he saw that the other party insisted on sending it, he had to accept it and thank him and continue to study.
There was nothing to say for a while, the young woman closed her eyes and rested with satisfaction, she could repay this bit of cause and effect, she didn't want to have anything to do with this young man.
And the girl quietly took out a wooden block and carved it, Su Ziji paid attention to it, it seemed to be a carriage, striving for perfection.
As if sensing Su Ziji's gaze, the girl turned sideways and asked in a low voice, "Are you a Xiucai?"
"No, I'm just preparing for the county exam, and there are still two days. ”
The girl looked at the young man a few times, she didn't react like the maid, she just shook her head: "I see that you are shrouded in mildew and failed the test." ”
Su Ziji didn't believe this, but remembered the words of the wild Taoist, his heart moved, and he deliberately said: "We scholars, the emphasis is that only learning can win life, and hard work is enough." ”
"You may be able to, but your talent is not enough. The girl suddenly felt that she had talked too much, so she covered her mouth and stopped talking, and then the young woman opened her eyes and looked at her: "Is it done?"
"All right, Mother. ”
After resting, the group went out again, and as they left, they heard the sound of wheels.
"No, I have to ask Fang Cai what he means by this!" Su Ziji hesitated, but still chased after him.
What surprised me was that the other party was just one step out of the ancestral gate, and when he ran out of the ancestral gate, the door was empty, not to mention the convoy, and there was not even a figure.
"Weird, can't it fly?" Su Ziji suddenly became absurd, turned around and planned to go back, but when he looked again, the shrine where he was resting was gone!
In the wind and snow, only a fire was still crackling and burning, and there was a book that had been thrown on one side, which also fell on the snow at this time.
"This, is this a world with ghosts and gods?" Su Ziji looked confused, this kind of thing was simply terrifying, he hurriedly picked up the scroll, looked around, and was stunned for a long time.
The meat steamed buns are still inside!
Okay, it's time to feed the dogs, self-adjusting, Su Ziji was stunned for a long time, and his face gradually became gloomy: "If there is a world of ghosts and gods, my family cemetery is damaged, and it is really possible to cause feng shui to be damaged...... Damn, these tomb robbers really killed them. ”
"According to what the girl said, even if there is bad luck, in fact, you can suppress it if you are talented, but it is higher than the ordinary situation - but there are only two days before the exam, what should I do?" Su Ziji pondered, four books and five classics level 3, but it may not be safe!
Gotta figure it out.
Linhua County City Gate
In ancient times, it was generally opened at the beginning of the day, and the time was closed, when the time came, the city gate squeaked, slowly opened, the gloomy sky drifted snow again, and in the cold wind, pedestrians hurried in, among which there was a team of low-key luxury carriages.
No one saw when they appeared outside the city, and no one noticed the strange appearance of this convoy, and when someone looked at it, they only felt that the family escorting the carriage was strong and solemn, and even the horses pulling the carriage were quite vigorous, and at first glance they were not ordinary people.
The curtain fluttered slightly in the morning breeze, and in one of the carriages, the warm fragrance was rising, and the inside was luxurious, which was very different from the low-key outside.
The two shadows sat quietly in the car, and if Su Ziji saw it at this time, he would definitely recognize that these two were the women he had seen in the shrine before.
At this time, the young woman glanced at the girl, frowned slightly, and asked with a little displeasure: "What's wrong with you just now, so much talking?"
When the girl heard this, her hand holding the scroll paused slightly.
In fact, she herself has some doubts, and if she blurts out the words, she will never say it before, after all, this is also a breakthrough, although it is just a trivial matter, but for them, it is easy to cause trouble.
But it's not easy to explain these things to my aunt, lest my aunt have to think about it more.
Seeing his kindness, Xu wanted to mention something. Under the veil, the girl's expression was calm, and her voice was indifferent.
When the young woman saw her like this, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the young man was handsome and had an extraordinary temperament, and the girl was really moved by her feelings, but it was a great trouble, so it was the best.
But when they were about to arrive at their destination, the young woman had to take the opportunity to mention a few words.
We must know that when we walk in the world, we need to be careful and not careless. ”
"If we want to gain a foothold in the world, we have to use popularity to cover up the strange spirit, so we all show kindness to others, adopt orphans, cultivate the Hu family, and blend in. ”
"Even if it is a new team that has moved here, only one or two are clansmen, if they were completely clansmen, An Neng would have been recognized for living in the human world. ”
"Especially those alchemists, who use our clan as an elixir, are the most fierce, and their noses are also very smart. ”
"Besides, that teenager is not simple. ”
"It's not easy for the shrine to let him in, and as I see it well, the ground is full of human blood, the blood has not dried, and the resentful spirit is still lingering, even if ordinary people can't see or hear, they will feel it. ”
"But this person recites upright, let the resentment linger, and the voice is clear, if it is not for him to kill, it is he who kills, and this posture ......" The young woman shook her head, this kind of person is very terrible: "This kind of luck is mostly born, even if it is anger, you can't be contaminated at this time." ”
was repeatedly reminded to act carefully, and the girl's cold temperament couldn't help but feel a little bored, not because she was tired of the teachings of her elders, but because of the promise she had to fulfill this time.
"The third aunt, the one who was engaged back then, is it really here?" the girl changed the subject.
"Back then, referring to the fox as his wife, with the red sandalwood as evidence, a word to bear the cause and effect, although hundreds of years can not be wiped out, now your half of the red sandalwood has been shaken, must be destined to have declined. This was more important, and the young woman was immediately attracted to it.
"Third aunt, what was the name of the person who referred to the fox as his wife back then, and why is it that after hundreds of years, there is still such a big cause and effect, which deserves such attention from the clan?"
"Don't say. ”
The young woman seemed to have scruples, as if she was secretly blocking the name, and she sighed faintly: "You just need to know that the matter of Rosewood is definitely a great opportunity, and it can even move the heavens." ”
"We, the fox clan, have been cultivating from generation to generation, but also reading people's books and learning people's rituals, just to cope with this. The indescribable envy and fear in her eyes: "If it had been decades earlier, it would have been me." ”
"We are all envious of your luck, but as soon as the rosewood moves, the heavens will change, or there will be a catastrophe that will come into being, and it will mess your heart, you need to be careful...... Now whoever comes near you is a disciple, and there is no need to excuse yourself. ”
"As for the Hu family, it's just a loan to cover up the identity of our family, and we don't go through them for food, and our family has already set up a shop in Linhua County, and after entering the city, we will first go to the shop to inspect it, and then go to the Hu family. ”
"Understood, third aunt. The girl listened to the teaching, and did not ask any more questions, but held half a piece of rosewood in her sleeve in her hand, and looked into the distance.
Outside the car, snowflakes were flying, cold to the bone, and the slanting wind and heavy snow made the road ahead more and more unreal.
"The third aunt has always taken precautions, so she doesn't know this Hu family, do you know the proportions?"
As for the young man just now, although it was a little turbulent, it subsided in a blink of an eye.
