Dow and Carbon-Based Monkey Breeding Guidelines

Chapter 262

It's the beginning of the new year, and Xiaoyuan Township encounters a severe cold, and there are people suffering from cold diseases in every village.One of the families, surnamed Zhou, had a good relationship with Li He, but the old man in the family was bedridden due to illness and had to be raised slowly.Knowing about this, Li He asked Li Diao to work on the Zhou family's field so as not to delay the farming season.

The Zhou family has an eldest daughter, who is 23 years old. She had already agreed to marry her, but because of the bad family, Zhou's father decided to resign the engagement, and she couldn't find a suitable candidate for a while.Until Li Diao came to farm on his behalf, Zhou's daughter also went there sooner or later, delivering water and food to thank each other.The two have been together for many days, and they both regard each other as interested.In addition, the two families had a good relationship and knew each other's background, so Webster came to talk about the matter.And because Zhou's daughter is old, she is afraid of delays at home, so she urges her to pass the ceremony early.At that time, although the Eastern Region valued rituals, Xiaoyuan Township was remote after all, and the three books and six rituals were all simplified.The two families went back and forth several times, and they decided to get married in early summer.

Li Diao was well-connected in the village, and since he got a big marriage, unlike his father who married an outsider, he had to advertise to his relatives and friends and invite congratulations.After thinking about it, he gave up a few hundred coins and sent a letter to Jingshi at the county post office, explaining his marriage.

At that time, Jingshi's whereabouts were uncertain, and there was a big event in the middle of the year. Although Li Diao sent letters to his old address, it was just a gift of friendship, and he didn't expect him to come to congratulate him.In the near summer, I am even more busy preparing for the invitation, and I don't care about other idle thoughts.Six days before the auspicious period, it was the night when I fell asleep and suddenly heard a dog barking in the courtyard.Opening the window and looking at the courtyard, it was only when the sky was ugly that it passed by. Standing outside was a young man of eighteen or nineteen years old, with a hemp shirt and wooden hairpin, about the same height as Li Diao.

At that time, it was still dark, and Li Diao couldn't see the visitor's face clearly, he saw him wandering outside the wall, staying for a long time and refusing to pick him up.Holding a rake in one hand and a candle in the other, he went outside and asked, "What are you doing outside my courtyard?"

Hearing the sound, the visitor raised his head, took a good look at him and said, "It's me." His voice was steady and calm, and his tone was flat, without any hint of worry.

When Li Diao heard his words, he felt very familiar.Walking to the wall, the two sides looked at each other, and finally exclaimed: "Are you Jingshi?"

Jing Shi replied, "Yes." Then he took a letter from his bosom, which was sent by Li Diao.At that moment, Li Diao could no longer be suspicious, and hurriedly welcomed Jing Shi into the house.After the movement between the two of them, the rest of the Li family also woke up, and they were very pleasantly surprised when they suddenly found out that Jing Shi had returned home.Asked why, Jing Shi said, "I heard that Li Diao is going to get married, so I'm here to congratulate you."

Li Diao was very happy when he heard the words, but after thinking about it, he said again with worry: "I heard that you are going to make a big move to China, and I'm afraid the journey will take time. If you were in the country of Li, you would be closer to Nacuixiu pass. Today Will I be able to return home in time?"

Jing Shi said: "It doesn't matter, this time the big move is not in the middle land, it will be held in the Eastern Region." Only then did Li Diao feel relieved.The whole family was talking to each other again, asking about Jingshi's recent situation, talking in a mess for a long time, until dawn.

Li Diao met an old friend suddenly, even though he was up in the middle of the night, he didn't feel sleepy at all.But seeing that Jingshi's eyes were black and blue, it was estimated that it was the result of traveling for several days, so he told him: "The room where you used to sleep has now belonged to my third sister Xiaodi, but my second brother has not returned in the county. You You can rest on his couch first." So Jing Shi was asked to sleep in the room for half a day, and he didn't get up until noon.Li Diao specially treated him to lunch, and said, "Let's go, I'll show you my new house." He was referring to a newly built courtyard near Li's house.

Jing Shi followed the sound.As soon as they were discharged from the hospital, Li Diao briefly talked about his affairs with Zhou's daughter, and then looked at Jingshi again.But seeing Jing Shi's look dull and not very clear, he coughed heavily again, and finally said bluntly: "Ah Jing, you are not young now, if you are a girl you like, you can settle down earlier. If you don't , you might as well let me do it for you first."

Jing Shi paused and said, "No rush."

Li Diao said: "If you are not in a hurry now, when will you be in a hurry? No matter how much you like to run around, you will never be able to stay at home for the rest of your life. I know you are not familiar with the daughter's house in this town, and you will inevitably feel uncomfortable, but you might as well go try it out first. Try. It just so happens that I will get married this time, and people from all over the county will come to congratulate me, and I will arrange it with you, and see if there is someone you like."

Hearing this, Jing Shi stepped a little slower, and said after a while: "The exam is important."

Li Diao has known him for a long time. Hearing his tone as he was when he was a child, he knew it must be an excuse, and immediately said: "What does this have to do with your exam? Anyway, if you want to wait until I get married, it will delay you for a few days." ?Since I am your elder brother, I have to chatter with you. The important thing about marrying a wife is to know the basics, and you can't be perfunctory. Although you may not stay in the town in the future, there may be some girls in those few families who are willing to go out with you of."

He chattered and counted a few words, but seeing Jing Shi's dull expression, he didn't care at all, suddenly remembered something, and said: "Yes, you wrote a letter earlier, didn't you mention a girl with the surname? You mentioned her repeatedly in your letter." , but have intentions in mind?"

Jing Shi coughed and said: "No. She was born as an aristocrat in the Gu Kingdom, and she will be in the family of a prince in the future. She has the same ambition as me, and she is a close friend."

Li Diao was doubtful, and said: "Are you trying to lie to me? What happened to her and you, and explain it to me."

While the two were talking, they had already stepped into a new house.Jing Shi was about to answer, when he suddenly pointed to Liang Shang and said, "The color of the spider is wrong, it's probably poisonous."

Li Diao wanted to deal with important life issues with him, but when he heard this, he saw that there was indeed a spider web on the beam, so he hurriedly took the chair and swept it, went up to smash the web, and looked on tiptoe for a long time, but there was no live spider. Can't help wondering: "Where did you say that poisonous spider is?" After asking several sentences like this, there was no answer behind him. Looking back, he saw that the door was open, and there were traces of thorns and stones there. count.

Knowing that he was cheated, Li Diao was angry and laughed, and wanted to chase him out to find someone, but there was no trace of him.I walked around the house at the head of the village, but there was no one there. In the evening, I saw Li He returning from the mountains with thorns and stones, and said with a smile: "Good boy! When I first came to my house, I didn't do anything else, so I went to the mountains to catch mussels and play with cranes." .If I hadn’t caught you, you would still want to fly away on a crane.”

Jing Shi was pulled by his shoulders, unable to break free at all, he could only say: "It's just a letter."

Li Diao said: "You have no relatives and no reason in the Eastern Region. Who else can you write to? Come on, drink with me today!" Then he caught Jing Shi and went to the house.For seven days, Jing Shi could not stay in the house and went to the mountains all day long.

On the morning of the seventh day, it was Li Diao's wedding day, and all the young and strong in the village came to help, forming a long line, playing and playing all the way, and swam to the door of Zhou's house in the neighboring village.Because Jing Shi was close to the Li family, he and Li Tan each held earthen pots and walked in front of the team.Whenever a child blocked the way, he grabbed a handful of wedding candy and sprinkled it to drive him away.Since the child has benefited, he will not make trouble, and he is clever and sings a few words of lip service: "Good in-laws, so courteous. A man is handsome and more capable of affection, which is better than a prince's good son; a woman is more virtuous and beautiful than a fairy. Fell to earth." Li Diao was so ashamed that he couldn't bear it.

Walking in front of Zhou's house in such a chaotic manner, he saw a row of young girls with yellow hairpins and flowers standing under the tree in front of the courtyard, blocking the front of the wedding procession.It was outflanking from left to right again, cutting off the two wings of everyone.The young and strong members of the team were chatting and laughing at first, but when they saw the long snake forming their heads, they seemed to know that the visitor was not kind, so they stopped and stood beside Li Diao, staring at the front gate of Zhou's courtyard.

Although Jing Shi has read extensively, he knows little about the marriage customs of Xiaoyuan's village, so he quietly asked Li Tan why, Li Tan said in a low voice, "Okay, old man Zhou gave his daughter a face, so I'm going to put on a damsel this trip. If we can't pass this test today, my family will lose a lot."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young girl with an oval face and willow-leaf eyebrows coming out of the formation of long snakes. She was wearing a new floral dress, with jade hairpin flowers on her temples, and five petals of yellow on her forehead. "It's so sunny today, and the magpies on the branches are screaming. Brothers come here by coincidence, but do you want to see the magpies?"
