Chapter 8: Hot Air Balloon Ignition
Wu Xiaohua was in good spirits and continued to say to Mu Keming: "The imperial examination is not easy, before participating in the imperial examination, I swore in the Wenwang Temple that once I won the imperial examination, I would return the grace of God." ”
"If it's just below, it's nothing, but Miss Guan's happiness and the Mu family's family business, if you don't talk about it, wouldn't it be harboring evil intentions. ”
Wu Xiaohua sighed and said with a sad face: "The affairs of the gods are not the affairs of mortals, and there is no improvisation for this matter. Besides, I went to the Buddhist temple to repay the grace of the gods, but I don't know if King Wen will receive it. ”
Steward Mu, who was in charge of matchmaking, almost fainted when he heard this. He hurriedly said, "Master, don't listen to his nonsense. He clearly wanted the master to send him home, and once he went back, he ......"
It's impossible for Steward Mu not to be in a hurry, this matter can be five thousand taels in a row!
In case of...... No, it will definitely run.
As long as he is sent home, no, as long as he goes out of this door, he yells that he is Tanhua, and he was forced to marry by the Mu family, I don't know how much trouble he will cause.
Whose fault is it then? Most likely it will fall on him, the steward.
Mu Keming stopped the housekeeper from being anxious and asked, "Are you going home?"
"If the adults are willing to send them home, it's fine. If you are worried, you only need a light in the next hole. ”
Wu Xiaohua knew that it was impossible for them to send him away, he just deliberately said so and let the other party choose.
Send yourself away? Or do you want to make Kong Ming lanterns for yourself.
Mu Keming nodded slightly.
This matter is settled, and it has its own housekeeper arrangement.
This time, not only the materials, but also the carpenters, leathermen, and craftsmen also came.
It is obvious that the Mu family is rushing to do more than less, and they met all of Wu Xiaohua's requirements at once.
The other party is so generous, Wu Xiaohua naturally has no opinion. In addition to pointing out the size, it is a professional to do professional things, and Wu Xiaohua herself is of course exercising.
Running, this is the most important, run fast, and have a better chance of survival.
After running 100 meters, people start to breathe, and 200 meters are like rotten bellows......
Alas, this body sucks, too.
Wu Xiaohua had to start exercising again.
"Housekeeper, what is this new aunt doing?" I saw Wu Xiaohua running around the yard for a while, and doing sit-ups for a while. Where had the craftsmen seen these things, they were naturally curious to ask the butlers they thought were well-informed.
"Do your thing. Steward Mu glared at them, because the butler didn't know what Wu Xiaohua was doing.
"Yes. ”
The craftsmen responded on the surface, and as soon as they turned around, they muttered again: "What is the new aunt doing?"
"Who knows this, and the well-informed housekeeper doesn't know. ”
Steward Mu was going crazy. Steward Mu has always been well-known and well-informed, but now what has become in their mouths?
"Ahem...... Steward Mu coughed, and then whispered to them, "This is the secret method of giving birth to a son." You also know that the new aunt is a little thin. Shhh--Don't say it, this is the old man entrusted with great favors and found it from Xiangguo Temple. ”
Steward Mu praised his wit.
Not only did he save his reputation, but he also "died" without proof. A group of Qiantou is not qualified to go to Xiangguo Temple to verify.
"Oh, I see. ”
And this time they believed. That's Sangokuji Temple.
A craftsman said: "Some people in our village have gone to Xiangguo Temple to ask for children, and they are very spiritual." ”
"What kind of spiritual method, tell me quickly. ”
"The mother-in-law led the infertile daughter-in-law, lit wax and burned incense in front of the mallet god and bowed to the ......"
Hearing this, many people laughed.
Because the mallet god is not a god, but only in the name of God, he borrows seeds.
The temple fair is held from June 3 to 6 every year, and unlike the previous temple fairs, the meeting time is not during the day but at night, and reaches its peak in the middle of the night. Generally, the mother-in-law leads the infertile daughter-in-law, lights wax and burns incense in front of the mallet god, and then squeezes out of the temple gate. The mother-in-law gave her daughter-in-law gauze to cover her face from the top of her head, and the two made an appointment to meet at a location, and the mother-in-law hurriedly walked away. At this time, the man hiding behind the trunk of the tree and the stone pulled the woman with the covered face and led her to a secluded place, and without asking anyone a word, she began on the spot.
The temple fair of the mallet god is not a year or two, and there is always the bold idler who goes to see the excitement, and this one has obviously seen it. He said it with relish, and the others listened to it with relish.
Then, Wu Xiaohua found that there were more people around her. They were secretly learning Wu Xiaohua's movements.
The mallet god will, not as a last resort, no one will let his daughter-in-law go. Rather than allowing others to plant seeds, they naturally want to come on their own.
But every time Wu Xiaohua turned around, they pretended to work, only looking at it from the corner of their eyes. After all, it was said by the housekeeper, and it was the secret method that the master found from Xiangguo Temple, but I am afraid that it cost a lot of silver.
After Wu Xiaohua knew, she said, "If you want to learn, I can teach you." ”
"Really, uncle, would you like to?" the craftsmen rejoiced.
In this day and age, the temptation to have a son is greater than anything else.
"Teaching is possible, but I conditional. ”
"Uncle, please command. As long as we do it, we will definitely do it for my uncle. ”
Wu Xiaohua saw their eagerness, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face:
"First of all, you have to work hard. You see, this Kong Ming lantern has been made for three days, and it hasn't been done yet. ”
The faces of the craftsmen suddenly changed greatly, is this because they are not doing a good job? Obviously, the lamp is too big.
But thinking about giving birth to a son, they didn't argue, gritted their teeth and said, "Uncle, don't worry, I will finish it for my uncle today." ”
"Good. Wu Xiaohua nodded, and said, "Second, I'll teach you the ability to wait, do you want to invite me to a good meal." ”
Have a good meal.
The craftsmen looked bitter, but agreed.
As soon as they agreed, Wu Xiaohua taught. It's a healthy exercise, and it doesn't hurt to learn it. Wu Xiaohua taught them in exchange for their food.
You must know that you can escape if a hot air balloon rises into the sky, but people will starve to death if they don't eat.
It was impossible for the Mu family to prepare dry food for Wu Xiaohua to run away, so he could only fight the ideas of these craftsmen.
And when the craftsmen saw that Wu Xiaohua really taught them, they naturally kept their word, and worked harder, almost before the sun went down, the hot air balloon was ready.
They sent two people to buy food, and the rest were installing it, and after the food was bought, the hot air balloon was loaded, and even the oil was added.
The food they bought was a roast chicken, a peanut, a dried tofu, ten cooking cakes, and a furnace of wine.
Wu Xiaohua pretended to touch it and said, "It's cold, it's not delicious." ”
"Uncle, shall I wait to warm it up?" said one of the craftsmen.
"No need to go out. Isn't this just kerosene? Wu Xiaohua was calm, but she couldn't hide her excitement.
When the craftsmen heard this, they were right, so they responded and lit a fire......
