God's way of opening infinite games
Chapter 18 Making Mandarin Ducks The 8th of this month is an auspicious day...
After the rickshaw driver Lao Qiu pulled the guests to the gate of Shen's house, he saw Steward Peng respectfully invite them in, and then sent his servants to pay Lao Qiu the fare.
"Did something happen in the house? Why did you even invite Taoist priests?"
Lao Qiu likes to make jokes on weekdays, and when he is not working, he likes to chat with other coachmen and gossip with customers, which earned him the nickname "Long Tongue Lao Qiu".
As a big family, the secrets in Shen's house are naturally more attractive than the trivial details in the alley. Even if the concubine and the big house talk a word, people can think of it as a big drama, chatting for a few days.
"This is not something you should inquire about, hurry up!"
The man asked Lao Qiu to leave quickly with an impatient expression on his face. There was still fear hidden deep in his eyes, and the wind was blowing under his feet, and he closed the door of Shen's house with a creak.
Lao Qiu spat, pulled the rickshaw and left.
"It's really a dog's eyes to see people as inferior, and a servant is so arrogant."
He made a detour around a street corner, planning to go to the Banyan Tree Teahouse where rickshaw drivers often gather in the Pukou alley to talk about it.
"Hey Old Hong! Go to the Banyan Tree Teahouse in a while!"
The coachman on the opposite side, Lao Hong, pulled a rickshaw and ran hard, turning a deaf ear to Lao Qiu's words, and passed Lao Qiu's eyes without stopping for half a second.
"what happened?"
Lao Qiu was wondering, and accidentally saw Lao Hongla's guest, which can be described as a glimpse.
"Isn't that Young Master Shen's fiancée?"
His intuition told him that something important happened in the Shen residence.
Lao Qiu quickened his pace and couldn't wait to go to the Banyan Tree Teahouse to share. It seemed that he could glimpse the secrets that outsiders of Shen's house didn't know in the gossip.
Xun'an stood in front of the closed gate of Shen's house, with the hurried back of the rickshaw behind him.
"Run faster."
Dare to ask him for a price, I don't want to mess around.
He rang the knocker on the door and waited for a moment, but no one answered.
Xun An frowned, exerting some force to ensure that everyone inside could hear the knock on the door.
After a while, footsteps came from behind the door, and the door opened inward, revealing a wrinkled face like a dead tree.
"You are...Miss Gu Qing? You came back from Beiping?"
The person who opened the door was Guanshi Peng. When he saw Xun An standing outside the door with a blank expression, he was pleasantly surprised and wanted to invite him in. Then he hurriedly closed the door before Xun An stepped in, leaving only a narrow gap.
Seeing this, Xun An raised his eyebrows, "Is this how you welcome guests?"
Guanshi Peng laughed dryly, his hands on the doorknob were sweating a little, "Miss Gu, Master Shen hasn't come back from overseas, you might as well..."
"Peng Quan, who is it?"
Suddenly a female voice with a rising end sounded charming and soft, Peng Guanshi was startled, turned his back to block Xun An's figure, and said to the lady who came slowly: "Madam, yes, yes..."
The corners of the eldest wife's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, but she still dressed up beautifully, with a lot of rouge and gouache, wearing gold hairpins and agate bracelets on her head, and her whole body was full of jewels.
"Why are you hesitating? Say it!"
Peng Quan trembled and moved away, "Back to the eldest lady, yes, it's Young Master Shen's fiancée, Miss Gu Qing."
The eldest lady was taken aback, unconsciously playing with the agate beads in her hand, frowning and thinking about something, "Ask her to come in."
After speaking, he turned around and entered the inner house. Peng Quan struggled for a few seconds, finally sighed, opened the door, and said to Xun'an with a grim expression, "Miss Gu, please come in."
Xun'an followed Peng Quanquan, looked around and found that Shen's house was lifeless, literally.
But he searched around, but didn't find the source of the dead energy, or the whole Shen mansion was a huge source of dead energy.
"Qingqing! Come here quickly! Hey, she's become a slim girl, and she's becoming more and more iconic!"
In the hall of the main room of the inner house, the eldest lady in a white cheongsam smiled, waving a white feather fan, and beckoned Xun An to come over quickly.
A strange Taoist priest stood next to her. Xun An stepped forward, but his eyes fell on this Taoist priest.
The format of the Taoist robe is formal, but the color is white. Generally speaking, blue and yellow are the main colors, and white means...
"Qingqing, what are you doing standing up? Sit down!"
"Look, you have been in Peiping for many years. I originally thought about sending someone to pick you up, but I didn't expect you to come back today."
The eldest lady took Xun An's arm, made him sit beside her, folded her hands on the back of his hands, and chatted with him very enthusiastically.
"The commander-in-chief led the troops to the Northern Expedition, and it will take some days before he can come back, otherwise, if he sees you, he will definitely be very happy!"
Xun'an withdrew his hand, but the eldest lady simply didn't care.
"Qingqing is seventeen or eighteen now, and it's time to talk about marriage. Yi'er has been studying abroad before, and now he's coming back soon. Your wedding date should also be set."
As she spoke, she squeezed out two more tears, took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom, and wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes.
"It's a pity that your parents died young, otherwise such important matters would need to be discussed with them."
Xun An felt that there was a gaze on him all the time, turned his head to look, and happened to collide with the probing gaze of the Taoist priest in white.
The other party's eyes did not look like those of a righteous person, but he had a cold and villainous air, and a dark wooden sign with no pattern was hung on his waist.
Normally, it should be a high-grade conferring waist plate, but this person is wearing a strange black wooden plate, which does not look like a serious Taoist priest.
"Qingqing, let's stay in the side courtyard for the next few days. We will get married when Yi'er comes back. From now on, you will be the young mistress of the Shen family!"
The eldest wife covered her wanton smile with a fan, and looked at Xun'an with satisfaction, wishing she could get married right away.
"Who is this?"
Xun'an didn't answer the eldest lady's words, and wanted to know the identity of the Taoist priest. Apart from the eldest wife, there were no other concubines in the hall, which meant that the Taoist priest belonged to the eldest wife.
"Oh, this is Daoist Xiao Zhai. I invited you here to pray for blessings and seek protection for your marriage. The world is not peaceful recently, and the Daoist's actions are also for peace of mind."
Xun An looked at the eldest lady with a half-smile, but the other party's eyes were dodged, not daring to meet his gaze, so he quickly changed the subject.
"You're exhausted from the journey, rest first, and I'll let the cook prepare meals later. You see that you're getting thinner, you can eat more later! Peng Quan! Don't take Qingqing to the courtyard to rest!"
Peng Quan, who was guarding the entrance of the hall, responded, lowered his head and asked Xun An to come with him.
Xun An did not expose the eldest wife, and glanced at Xiao Zai, with a smile on his lips, and followed Peng to the courtyard.
After Xun An's figure walked through the empty corridor and entered the garden through the Moon Cave Gate, the eldest lady asked the servants in the hall to retreat and asked Xiao Zao to take a seat.
"Daoist, what date do you think the marriage should be?"
Xiao Za pinches his fingers and narrows his eyes, it really looks like that.
He spoke with a northern accent, and his thick voice wiped out his own little Daoism with a single mouth.
"The sooner this matter is done, the better. The longer it is delayed, the worse the feng shui of Shen's house will be. At that time, it will be difficult for Shen's family to be saved even if an immortal descends to earth."
The eldest wife's face turned pale, "Then..."
"Ma'am, don't worry, as long as the couple successfully gets married, the evil spirits in the house will be subdued by seven points. I just need to open the altar to deal with the remaining three points."
Before the words were finished, a strange wind suddenly blew in the hall, which made the eldest lady's back feel cold and her hairs stood on end.
Feng disappeared without a trace, but the eldest wife couldn't stop shivering, rubbing her arms, trying to drive away the cold.
Seeing this, Xiao narrow took out a piece of talisman paper from his bosom, clamped it between his fingers, and said plausibly, after reading, he smoothly folded the talisman paper into triangular pieces and handed it to the eldest lady.
"This is a talisman that has been blessed with a spell to ward off evil spirits. Please wear it close to your body, the eldest lady, to protect against evil spirits."
The eldest wife was overjoyed, and quickly thanked her for accepting, "Thank you Daoist Xiao, I will leave this marriage to you. After all, we don't know the details of this matter, and it is not convenient to have too much contact... Only Daoist Lao worked so hard. God."
After she finished speaking, she looked around again to make sure that there was no one around, and said in a low voice, "Master Daoist, I have one more request."
Xiao narrow chuckled, his small eyes saw through the complacency of the eldest lady, "Madam is worried about the issue of children, right?"
The eldest wife's eyes widened, "The Daoist is a god, it is indeed the issue of heirs, I wonder if the elder can solve it?"
Hearing this, Xiao narrow showed a troubled expression, "It's not that there is no way, it's just..."
"As long as you can help me, Taoist priest, you can talk about any reward!"
That's what I heard.
Xiao San pretended to hesitate, and waited for the eldest wife to look anxious before slowly responding, "Okay, Xiao will do his best."
The eldest wife was overjoyed, and wanted to order someone to send two bottles of good wine, but Xiao narrow stopped her.
"There's no rush, let's settle the matter in front of me first, and then Xiao will take care of his wife slowly."
He took out a piece of paper and wrote a lot of words densely on it, "This is the item needed for the wedding. I am a Taoist priest. It is inconvenient to go out and buy it. It will be bad for the reputation of the Shen family if it is spread. Everything is ready.”
The eldest lady took a look and asked, "So many things? Do you want a sedan chair?"
Xiao Shan stroked his beard and nodded, "It is precisely because I want to exorcise evil spirits and make me happy, so I have to do a lot of work."
The eldest wife frowned, "Okay, I'll let the servants go and resettle it."
"Xiao has calculated that the eighteenth day of this month is an auspicious day, and it is best to arrange the marriage on that day."
"Eighteen...that's only a few days away, oops, I have to get someone to prepare it quickly!"
The eldest lady put away the list, let Xiao Yan take a good rest, and left in a hurry.
Xiao San took off his waist card, bit his index finger, squeezed out a drop of blood and smeared it on the card.
The dim red light flashed by, the waist card vibrated twice, and it returned to calm.
"Don't worry, it will be a few days, and then I will let you eat enough."
He was in a very good mood, seeing the whole Shen house up and down, full of lifelessness inside and out, he snorted, "At that time, the whole Shen family will be in my pocket."
He took a stroll in the courtyard and came to a remote deserted courtyard. The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and dilapidated everywhere.
Pushing open the door with the yellow talisman paper on it, a musty smell hits the face, and dust rises.
Xiao San brushed it away with a wave of his hand, staring gloomyly at the two coffins in front of him.
One of the coffins was covered with talisman paper, but it was replaced with new talisman paper yesterday, and after only one night, it became mottled and black again.
"I advise you to give up this heart, you can't escape."
Xiao San sneered, and replaced the talisman paper again.
"Nobody can stop me."
"Did something happen in the house? Why did you even invite Taoist priests?"
Lao Qiu likes to make jokes on weekdays, and when he is not working, he likes to chat with other coachmen and gossip with customers, which earned him the nickname "Long Tongue Lao Qiu".
