The ancient life of a master craftsman

When Li Enbai came, old man Yun and Laosan Mu had just finished arguing. Laosan Mu felt that getting married should not be rushed, and one must take a good look at one's character before making a decision. After all, there are lessons learned from the past.

The old man Yun wanted to book it quickly, so as not to have long nights and dreams, causing turmoil.After all, it takes three years to keep filial piety, and he also feels it is inappropriate to make Li Enbai wait for three years.

This said that three years of filial piety would be required, and Mu Laosan was not happy, "The Bai family has been divorced, so even if they have to observe filial piety, it is enough to keep filial piety for three months. The month is used to represent the year, and they will get their last mother-child relationship." .”

The old man Yun was a little hesitant. Seeing him like this, Mu Laosan was furious, "Sixth, you can't be so hesitant anymore. Think about your grandson, you want him to eat for three years?" Is it good to drink?"

When Li Enbai came in, he heard this sentence. He knocked on the door and interrupted the conversation inside, "Uncle San, Uncle Yun, it's me."

"Boy of the Li family, come in." Mu Laosan put down the pipe, "Why are you here?"

Li Enbai sighed, "It's for my marriage with Brother Li. I just learned that news of Brother Li's captivity has spread in the village."

"You have a nose and an eye. If this continues, someone will come to you, or Mrs. Mu, and sink the pears." He was very worried, and patted the table impatiently, "I don't know what this person did for you." What, so vicious!"

The old man Yun changed his expression immediately, "Who is talking nonsense again?"

Mu Laosan was also angry, originally thought that the Bai family had sunk in the pond, and the gossiping women in this village should also be more honest and less demons.But I didn't expect that there were still people slandering in secret. It seems that their Mujia Village has indeed produced a lot of capable people in recent years.

"Boy of the Li family, you already know who is behind the scenes to tarnish Lizi's reputation, tell me who it is." Mu Laosan picked up the pipe and slowly took a puff.

"It's... Widow Hua." Li Enbai said truthfully, and repeated what Qing Geer had told him when he came to him, and finally said, "I rescued Brother Li at the gate of the town, and those two people were not in time. If I do something that damages Lizi's innocence, I can swear afterwards that I never took advantage of others! If I tell a lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a terrible death."

Li Enbai never believed in such things as swearing, but Mu Laosan and the others believed it. Seeing him without hesitation, they should swear a poisonous oath, and immediately believed him.

The old man Yun stood up and walked out, poking his head, as if he was going to fight for his life with someone, Li Enbai hurriedly stopped him, "Uncle Yun, don't be angry, Brother Li, it's not just about solving Widow Hua. .”

Mu Laosan called to stop Old Man Yun, "Lao Liu, come back and listen to what he has to say."

"I don't think Widow Hua dared to spread the word about this matter. There must be someone else behind the scenes. The most likely one is Chen Yingcai's family." Li Enbai analyzed.

The old man Yun was also worried that this Chen Yingcai would never die, and kept pestering Lizi, so how could Lizi survive?

"The last time Chen Yingcai's mother and son came to make a fuss, I tested it out. He knew about buying people, but he didn't know about prescribing drugs. Thinking about it, he is now fully supported by his wife's family, and the servants who came to kidnap people are not himself. Yes, then it is very clear who drugged Li Geer, Chen Zhang probably does not want Li Geer to become Chen Yingcai's concubine." Li Enbai guessed the truth of the matter clearly.

He sneered in his heart, "This Mrs. Chen not only doesn't want Brother Li to enter the Chen family, but also wants to destroy him directly. Maybe she feels that Brother Li seduced her husband-in-law and wants to take revenge on Brother Li."

"Nonsense!" Old Man Yun slammed the table angrily, "My son doesn't like this kind of wolf-hearted thing! If he hadn't been pestering..."

Although Mu Laosan can't understand women's thoughts, he agrees with Li Enbai's analysis. Women in this world are like this. The husband has a crush on others, not to say that his husband is wrong, it's all the other people's fault. Things can only happen if the man himself is moved first.

"Then tell me, what should we do?" Mu Laosan pressed the angry old man Yun.

After hearing this, Li Enbai took out the money from his pocket and put it on the table, "I want to marry Brother Li as soon as possible. This is the bride price. I will go buy the rest in the next few days, and I can buy them in half a month. Also, Uncle Yun and Uncle San, please help me set a date."

Seeing that he took out five taels of silver, old man Yun knew that he valued pears very much, otherwise he would just give one tael as other people did, and he pushed back four taels of it, "According to the custom here, one Two is enough. But, the wedding date..."

"You keep it all, I still have some. Besides, you can get married during the filial piety period. If Uncle Yun is willing, you can marry Brother Li to me during the filial piety period." Li Enbai pushed the money back He held Old Man Yun's hand and looked at him sincerely.

Mu Laosan stared at Li Enbai for a while, and realized that the purpose of this Li family boy was to marry Li Geer back home as soon as possible, and he seemed to like Li Li very much.

In this way, he can feel at ease. In case Li Xiaozi is only responsible, when he develops in the future, it is not certain whether Brother Li can live in peace, but since Xiaozi Li likes Brother Li, then in the future It should be good for Brother Li.

"Boy Li is right. Since you want your children to be filial, but you are afraid of delaying the wedding, why not let them get married within three months as Boy Li said." The third Mu took a look at Li Enbai and chimed in.

"This... three months, the time is too tight." Old man Yun has always wanted to find a good family for Lizi, but now that he really wants to marry his son, he is reluctant.

Three months is indeed a rush. Generally, it takes about a year for a family to go from engagement to marriage. This still omits many steps, but when it comes to Li Enbai, in fact, starting from now to prepare, three months is almost the same.

The process here in Huaimu Village is not the complete six ceremonies, but simplified to three steps. The first step is to propose marriage. After the marriage is completed, a red matchmaker is invited to come to propose marriage and set a marriage time. After this step is completed, it is a decision. dear.

Li Enbai directly handed over his horoscope to old man Yun. There are also people in Huaimu Village who can read horoscopes. Old man Yun can immediately know whether the horoscope is suitable after reading it. Then the red matchmaker in the village can say that Li Enbai still has some Money, please get a matchmaker.

The second step of accepting coins is to look at the dowry and dowry, and discuss with each other. In this step, Li Enbai said that the dowry is free, and he can ask for anything, and he will agree to everything he can do.Old man Yun is not the kind of person who makes trouble unreasonably and asks for money, so naturally he will not ask him too much.

The last step is to get married. This step is the most troublesome, because you have to prepare the flowing water mat, and you have to invite the Quanfu people and the bed-pressing boy.Many people have discussed the marriage early, and they have to be in a dilemma here. The running water table is not just for fooling around, it always makes the man's family scratch his head, so that he can come up with a few dishes that can be on the table, so as to win face and reconcile for himself Luck.

But in ancient times, Li Enbai often searched for delicious food everywhere. It can be said that it is not a problem at all to organize a decent menu within his ability. As for the money, he looked at the silver in his space , very confident.

In this way, old man Yun really has no reason to object, Li Enbai is ready for everything, and earnestly begs old man Yun to marry Yunli to him, and Mu Laosan also agrees very much, no matter how reluctant, Yun The old man could only agree.

"Since that's the case, I'd like to trouble Uncle Yun to close the horoscope, and wait for the matchmaker to come at home tomorrow." Li Enbai was very happy, and left after arranging the matter swiftly and resolutely.

With a deep sense of reluctance, old man Yun went to find someone to match his horoscope.

That night, the moon was on the treetops, and the dew was heavy at night, but Li Enbai did not fall into a deep sleep, but dressed neatly and carried a lantern, and walked out slowly. He stepped on the moonlight, humming a strange little tune, walking in the village on the way.

The strange thing is that among the houses he passed by, none of the dogs would bark wildly because of his passing. The whole village was quiet and quiet, except for the occasional sound of insects in the grass by the roadside.

The system has already scanned the entire village. No matter day or night, Li Enbai can easily walk to where he is going. His destination tonight is...

The dim light of the lantern can barely illuminate a small area under his feet, and even his face is blurred. Looking at the two wooden doors that are no different from other people's houses, "Is this the flower widow's house?"

'Yes. '

He stood outside the door and stared at the door for a while. He seemed to be bored, and then slowly left with the lantern in his hand.The strange little tune in his mouth sounded again, spreading far and far in the quiet village.

The house next door to Widow Hua vaguely heard someone singing, and thought she was dreaming, but the singing got closer and further away, and she woke up from the dream and wiped the sweat from her head. Zhong quietly went out to see.

I looked out through the crack of the door for a long time, but there seemed to be nothing there. Just as I was about to calm down, I suddenly met a pair of eyes, and those eyes were red!

"Ghost——" the male host fell back in fright, and ran into the house, his screams overwhelmed by fright woke up the neighbors on the left and right, and they all scolded him, but only heard him yelling There are ghosts.

The next day, the hostess was frightened and muttered that there was a ghost, but no one believed him.On the third day, there was a bright red handprint on Widow Hua's gate, which couldn't be washed off no matter how hard she washed it. The host was even more sure that there was a ghost!

On the fourth night, a man in white was standing in front of Widow Hua’s house with a grimacing lantern. The neighbors all saw it.

On the fifth day, the smallpox widow's mouth was crooked, without any warning, and she could only let the saliva flow, and she couldn't speak clearly. She asked the doctor to see it, but the doctor couldn't figure out why.

On the sixth day, bloody handprints also appeared at the home of Shitou's daughter-in-law, who usually gets together with Widow Hua, and on the seventh day, Shitou's wife also crooked her mouth.

On the eighth day, there was a family with bloody handprints on the door, and on the ninth day...almost every day I woke up to find that someone had a crooked mouth, someone had bloody handprints on the door, and even a child because Staring at ghosts and getting high fever...

The whole village was in a state of panic. Huaimu Village was always stable, so how could they be targeted by ghosts?

Brother Qing snorted disdainfully, "Why else? The gossip woman didn't have a good intention, and the ghosts passing by couldn't stand it! Just that widow, who slanders others all day long, I think she deserves it if her mouth is crooked. !"

He just lost his temper, but he didn't expect that the spirits of the villagers were already very tense. His words seemed to give everyone a hope. Maybe it was really like Qing Geer said, this blood-eyed ghost just couldn't see the gossip Talkative?

So they went to the village's grandma Wu to communicate with this ghost. During this time, a few words slowly appeared on the white paper in front of Grandma Wu. "Huachun follow me" every word seemed to be written in blood. The same, scared the people around and jumped away immediately.

At the same time, I also understood that this blood-eyed ghost was attracted by the flower widow!The people whose brains were dominated by fear rushed to Widow Hua's house and drove her out of the village, "Broom star, get out! Don't bring disaster to the village!"

"Yes! Go!" "Get out!"

Widow Hua's mouth was still crooked, and she couldn't even straighten her tongue, let alone how to refute. She was kicked out of Huaimu Village in a panic, and then she seemed to remember something, turned and ran to the town.

Not far behind her, Li Enbai followed closely.
