Chapter 83: Business Comes to the Door
[Ask for recommendation votes!]
On the first day, Zhang Zhaohua was still thinking about a way to make money, and the next day he came to business. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Zhai Fu made Zhang Zhaohua famous, although he was still a fart child, but the people in the village had begun to stop treating Zhang Zhaohua as a child.
Zhang Qigao's mother-in-law Xie Chun'e has been married to Meizitang for two or three years, and she has never been happy (pregnant). Mei Zitang has begun to gossip, saying that this mother-in-law is useless and has no fertility (no fertility). The two of them are also under a lot of pressure. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, there was no problem with the two of them. The doctor said that the two people were too stressed, so don't be too nervous. Go with the flow. The problem is, it's been going well for almost three years.
There are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is great. The countryside is a territory that still adheres to tradition. A family cannot be permanently strengthened without the next generation to strengthen it. Although the relationship between Zhang Qigao and his wife is good, under the double attack of his mother-in-law and his mother's family, the life of the young couple is a little bumpy.
At this time, some old people in the village gave Zhang Qigao and his family a trick: build a yin bridge.
Crossing the bridge is a custom in the countryside around Meizi'ao. There is a traditional saying among the people of Meiziao that if a child has a catastrophe, he needs to cross the bridge. Find a ditch in the village, then cut down a small pine tree and nail a bridge across the ditch. It means to cross this hurdle. In this way, the growth of the little ones will go smoothly.
The bridge should be nailed with big money, to this year, the big money is not easy to find, so it is replaced by coins, generally used five cents of coins, several layers of red cloth are stacked below, and the four interfaces of the bridge are nailed with four coins respectively.
There are also those who cross the bridge and those who cross the yin bridge. The bridge is for the children who have already been born. Crossing the Yin Bridge are those who have never been able to conceive children. I can't conceive a child because when the child comes to reincarnation, I can't cross a hurdle, and I have to build a bridge on this hurdle to be able to take the child over.
There is a fixed ritual for crossing the bridge. It is also usually done by a sailor. After all, we must first find the right ditch and then set a suitable time. In addition, it is necessary to refine the water mantra. This ceremony of crossing the bridge can be accomplished.
In the past, this kind of business was done by Ma Daochang. But now Master Zhang's name is in the limelight, and the limelight has obviously overshadowed Ma Daochang. Although Zhang Zhaohua has not done this kind of business before, the people in the village do not think that Zhang Zhaohua is completely competent. After all, the small ceremony of crossing the bridge is a basic skill that must be possessed by a Meishan water master. Zhang Zhaohua's basic skills are solid, and everyone in the village thinks so. Otherwise, how could you refine such a powerful house talisman?
Although it has been some time since the snake plague, the people in the village still have lingering fears. I didn't have any thoughts about the house charm that cost five dollars to invite home because of the snake disaster. Because the house charm is still working.
After returning to the house, the villagers found that the quality of sleep had improved significantly. There was no inexplicable movement in the house either. Even the rats, who love to come out at night and toss, are much quieter.
Xie Chun'e was embarrassed to come to Zhang's house to talk about this. It was Xie Chun'e's mother-in-law, Chen Meijuan, who came.
"Buck leaves, this matter still has to be done by calling the flowers. Chun'e has been back for three years (coming back, meaning married), and her stomach hasn't moved at all. I went to the hospital for a check-up, and there was nothing wrong with either of them. The old people all said that they had to build a bridge in order to bring the children over. Chen Meijuan came to Zhang Zhaohua's house early in the morning.
"Auntie, it's not that I don't want to help. My cub is only seven years old this year, do you think it is reliable to let him do this? Why don't we think of another way?" It's not that Liu Qiaoye doesn't believe in cubs, but this kind of thing like crossing the Yin Bridge sounds like a panic.
"How can it not be reliable? There is a snake disaster in the village, isn't it just by relying on the house charm called the flower to get over? My family can be the first to go to the house called the flower to ask for the house charm. At that time, I said that the house charm made of flowers must be reliable. "Why doesn't Chen Meijuan know the thoughts of Liu Qiaoye?
"Auntie, my cub knows a little bit of Meishan's spells. But he didn't do it either. No experience. Having a baby is a big deal. I'm afraid I'll delay your family's big business. Zhang Youping didn't want the cub to wade into this troubled water.
"Where will there be a delay, my daughter-in-law has been back for three years, and I don't rely on this time. I'll just believe in the flowers. I don't rely on this moment and a half, the idiom can't be done, I blame the flowers, let the flowers try. You also know what kind of people I and your Uncle Xingliang are in the village. Regardless of whether this time things work out or not, we will not lose the due etiquette. It's done, and we'll have thanksgiving gifts. We have water in our eyes. Unlike some people in the village, who called Hua to save her life, and still chewed her tongue behind her back. I don't like this kind of person the most. Chen Meijuan knew the concerns of Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye.
This kind of thing is not easy to refuse, Chen Meijuan's attitude is so resolute. Zhang Youping and Liu Qiaoye excused themselves, and could only go and call Zhang Zhaohua up.
Zhang Zhaohua fell asleep in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and saw Chen Meijuan clearly, "Seventh grandmother." What's the matter?"
"It's called Hua, grandma has something to ask you. Chen Meijuan looked at Zhang Zhaohua with a smile on her face.
"What's the matter?" asked Zhang Zhaohua.
"Can you build a yin bridge? You have been married to Aunt Gao and Aunt Chun'e for three years, and you haven't had a cub yet. Your uncle is no more than two or three years younger than your father. The old man in the village said that he had to build a yin bridge to bring the cubs over. Chen Meijuan told me about the situation.
"Build a bridge. Zhang Zhaohua nodded, of course he would build a Yin Bridge, he had been running with the old Taoist priest for so long, this kind of thing often encountered. If the daughter-in-law is not happy, she has to come to the old Taoist. The old Taoist priest would say, build a yin bridge. Whether it has any effect or not, Zhang Zhaohua doesn't seem to have dreamed of it. However, the ceremony of building the Yin Bridge, Zhang Zhaohua remembers it clearly.
"Will you?" Chen Meijuan was happy, and she could tell that Zhang Zhaohua would definitely be able to listen to Zhang Zhaohua's tone.
"Of course it will. However, if your daughter-in-law can't conceive a child, it must be that your family is not virtuous. If I build a bridge for you, I will suffer. Zhang Zhaohua said in the tone of the old Taoist priest.
In fact, this is all a routine for the sailor to negotiate the price with the customer, first of all, you have to tell others that this thing is difficult to do, so that the host family will be more generous when paying for it. In addition, it is also a threat. Don't be stingy, otherwise I will make up for you. Whoever you like to go to.
Chen Meijuan has lived for dozens of years, and she is very honest in this regard, "It's called a flower, you can rest assured." Grandma can still make you suffer? I've got two salutes ready. A rite to build a bridge. A thank you gift for your Aunt Chun'e to give birth to a baby. ”
Zhang Zhaohua is not an old Taoist priest, as soon as he heard that there was a thank you, his eyes lit up, "I want to get, I want to get it." ”
