Chapter 1: Marriage [I]

Next Chapter

A remarkable event has recently occurred in Ningtang County.

Lin Xiuran, the son of the Lin family, is about to get married.

The bride is the daughter of a deceased master, called Luo Xin'er, scholarly, Roujia Shushun, no more than cardamom, but with a full body, a small lotus on the chest and sharp corners, a round white buttocks under the waist, a mature and female flavor, but also the innocence and cuteness of a young girl.

In short, it's a lovely one!

However, the people in the county felt that it was a pity that Luo Xin'er, a good cabbage, made Lin Xiuran's pig arch.

In the eyes of the people in the county, Luo Xin'er should cry and make trouble because of this marriage, and she should cry and make a lot of trouble, her uncle is really not a thing, and he doesn't care about Mr. Luo's affection at all, but he actually pushed his niece into the fire pit alive and asked her to marry a big fool who has to be served by someone to eat and sleep.

Luo Xin'er should hate her uncle.

However, Luo Xin'er didn't do anything, didn't cry or make trouble.

On the day of the wedding, I obediently got on the sedan chair and obediently worshiped the church, step-by-step and extremely cooperative, and nothing happened to me so calmly.

Two words, weird!

"Could it be that this woman has resigned herself to her fate, and is willing to marry a fool?"

"That's a sin!"

There was a lot of discussion in the county.

Lin Xiuran, as a well-known "fool" in several counties near Ningtang, is said to be unable to distinguish wheat, do not know how to read, and cannot read words, and have to be served by someone to eat, sleep, and take a bath, which is a complete joke.

Of course, the people of Ningtang County didn't know that Lin Xiuran was a fool from the beginning, after all, this son lived in isolation, and it was rare for ordinary people to see him, and everyone only thought that he was "quiet and didn't like to be noisy", and would never think of "He is a fool, so the Lin family can only hide him".

For several years, the fact that Lin Xiuran is a fool has been well hidden in Ningtang County.

But the bad thing was at the birthday banquet of his father, Lin Weiyuan, the old man Lin Weiyuan's 60th birthday.

Lao Tzu's 60th birthday, of course, the son can't be present.

This is a bitter thing for Lin Xiuran and a group of people in the mansion.

At the beginning of the banquet, Mrs. Lin only told Lin Xiuran to keep her face tight, not to talk too much, and to say too many mistakes.

Lin Xiuran also did the same, those who came to toast, saw Lin Gongzi's "disdain" for them, and only thought that he was arrogant, and his identity was too different from him, he didn't want to make friends, and he would never think about "he's a fool".

Things went very well, and the banquet was coming to an end.

But at this time, an accident happened.

Lin Xiuran picked up a fish eye bead with chopsticks, but unfortunately, the chopsticks trembled slightly, and the fish eye beads on the chopsticks fell to the ground.

In the eyes of others, this is a small matter of sesame seeds, but Lin Xiuran didn't know which tendon was wrong, because of this incident, he suddenly started a child's temper, crying and rolling all over the ground.

You can imagine what kind of picture a dignified seven-foot man rolls and cries on the ground because a fish's eye falls on the ground?

The strange faces of the people, the surprised expressions, and the difficulty of holding back laughter can be imagined.

"Unsightly!"

"I see, ha!"

"Go back tomorrow and tell the master, I think he will like the joke. ”

Whisper.

Some laughed, some sneered, but there was also a smart man.

Seeing this, the man decided that this was a good opportunity and hurriedly came to persuade Lin Xiuran. He sent another fisheye from the adjacent table to Lin Xiuran. But Lin Xiuran is a fool after all, he doesn't understand human feelings, he can't look for the bottom of the stairs, and he doesn't know how to look at other people's faces, he only knows how to lose his temper and mess around.

At that time, he was angry, and when he saw a lewd old man walking over with a fish-eyed bead on his face full of flattery, he greeted him with a slap.

The old man was caught off guard, and he got his hand, and with a "snap-" sound, a loud slap echoed in the hall, and everyone immediately looked at each other.

That person is actually a martial arts senior with a very high status in the rivers and lakes, and there are not thousands of disciples, but there are also hundreds, and in front of many martial arts colleagues, he was slapped by a fool, and his old face will definitely not be able to hang up. At this time, he didn't care about the face of Lin Weiyuan of the Ningtang Lin family, and after a heavy "hum-" sound, he took a few disciples and walked away.

And Lin Xiuran was still sitting on the ground beating his chest and stomping on the ground, not knowing that he had caused a big disaster.

Lin Xiuran's moment confirmed the fact that he was a fool.

Lin Weiyuan, who was sitting on the main seat, had a gloomy face, and was so angry that he couldn't say a word; Mrs. Lin didn't know what to say, so she stopped talking and silently wiped away her tears.

So, a good feast was dispersed in a hurry.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

On the second day, the people of Ningtang County had a joke after dinner, and the content of the joke was naturally what Lin Xiuran, the lone seedling of the Lin family, did that night.

No one would have thought that the Lin family's isolated and mysterious Xiu Ran son was a fool!

The news was so exciting and exciting that it spread to everyone by ten, ten, and hundreds.

Subsequently, adding oil and vinegar and hearsay, he exaggerated the matter a little more, and inserted a few absurd stories, which were mixed into an interesting story that the storyteller could not finish telling for three days and three nights.

Lin Xiuran's name of "fool" spread more and more, and the more it spread, the more it stinked, and in the end, it became a laughing stock in the mouths of several counties near Ningtang and even some big people in Beijing.

Therefore, Luo Xin'er's marriage to Lin Xiuran was hot and hyped for a while.

......

"Li's head is really not a thing, so he sold his niece and married a fool, so it is better to sell it to a prostitute, a bride every night, and live happily!"

"Heh, what kind of nonsense are you talking about, you can do it, and sell it to a prostitute, I think you want to go crazy, if this is heard by the people of the Lin Mansion, it will be light to kill you. ”

"This girl must have created sin in her last life, and she has come to repay her debts in this life!"

"Heh, what kind of evil, you want me to see, this girl is not a sin, but a blessing, you don't look at the Lin family's wealth, don't say that person is a fool, even if he is deaf, dumb, and ugly, I am married, it's too late to be happy, where will I cry?"

"Yes. ”

"Alas, it's a pity that the reputation of Mr. Naluo Guishan has been ruined by this relative and daughter, greedy for wealth and wealth, and funny jokes!"

"Yes, iniquity!"

Some long-tongued women and sour scholars in the county saw the lively and luxurious welcoming procession in the Lin Mansion, snorted, and said that they did not pick the good ones but the bad ones, and talked on both sides of the street.

The greeting procession, gongs and drums, blowing and beating, slowly marched on the street, and I don't know how long it took, after the greeting team turned a big bend, the personnel stopped one after another.

The team had already arrived in front of the Lin Mansion.

A long string of firecrackers "crackled" and the ground was shattered, and two huge stone lions stood on both sides of the gate, and the brazier was set in the middle of the door.

The person carrying the sedan chair slowly stopped the sedan chair and pressed the sedan chair, and an old woman greeted the general with a smile, bent down, and slowly carried Luo Xin'er in the sedan chair on her back.

The brazier was in front, and the old lady carried Luo Xin'er on her back and walked leisurely towards the brazier.

Before the bride enters the door, she always steps over the brazier, which is the rule.

The old lady was half a hundred years old, and it seemed that the wind could blow it down, but she carried Luo Xin'er on her back, but she walked very steadily, and Luo Xin'er was on her back, and she didn't even feel a trace of vibration.

The action of crossing the brazier is extremely coherent, flowing and flowing, and it is a graceful arc, without a trace of procrastination and redundancy.

When she landed steadily, Luo Xin'er was on her back, and she still couldn't feel any vibration, as if the old lady had never jumped.

"Oh-"

The moment he crossed the brazier, the crowd of onlookers burst into a loud noise.

Luo Xin'er listened to the noise like cheers, she didn't know the joy and sorrow, she didn't have to move at all, and she was dragged forward without moving.

The old lady carried her across the brazier on her back, and then walked towards the gate of the Lin Mansion that was opened.

There, the courtyard is deep.

And Luo Xin'er has crossed the brazier, has blocked the "tailed ghost", and has "broken off with the past".

Already, there is no going back.
