I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 1
"The little girl in the family is fifteen years old. Choose an auspicious day, invite guests, play the qin and play the zither, and complete the ceremony." Song Tao, dressed in Confucian clothes, said to the guests who were watching the ceremony.

After finishing speaking, he looked outside the hall: "Yushan, come in and greet everyone!"

As soon as Song Yushan was about to go in, he saw a big white goose that was supposed to be locked up in the back garden today, got a piece of red cloth from nowhere and put it on its head. In front of me, I was about to go down the corridor.

It was too late to say it, but then it was too late, she pinched the big white goose's neck with one hand, grabbed the red cloth with the other, and quickly tied a knot on its mouth: "Dabai, call again today, I will send you tonight tonight." Fu Man Zhai, let someone stew it for me!"

Dabai's eyes were terrified, he locked his little wings tightly, and he didn't dare to move, for fear that he would be sent to the terrible Fumanzhai in the next moment. It was a place where any poultry could only be served on a plate.

Seeing that it was honest, Song Yushan put it down: "Go back to the back garden, you can only come out after the guests leave."

The big white goose, with a red cloth tied around its beak, fled as if fleeing.

"Yushan?" Seeing that his daughter hadn't come in, Song Tao called out again.

Song Yushan quickly corrected his posture and entered the main hall.

The guests were a little surprised when they saw her in red.

"It's just normal, girls in the boudoir, why don't you dress like a warrior and knight at the Jiji ceremony?"

"Song Xiucai is the only woman, she is too spoiled."

"I thought Song Xiucai was benevolent and wanted to marry this girl for the youngest son in the family, but now it seems that it is nothing."

Next, the guest of honor enters the venue.

A lame, one-eyed, black-robed old lady leaning on a cane walked in slowly.

"Why is it her?" Someone couldn't help exclaiming, and quickly covered their mouths when they met the old lady's indifferent eyes.

The dangerous and weird old lady makes people dare not speak nonsense, but they can't stop people's thoughts, and they are very puzzled.

A normal family, who loves their daughter, wouldn't invite a blessed person, nor would they invite such an old lady who dealt with the dead?

Although this mother-in-law Hua has some unpredictable abilities and is quite treacherous, her husband died, her son was blind and lame, and her livelihood was not very auspicious. It was because she was dissatisfied with her daughter that she invited such a master Bing?It seems that the rumors that Song Xiucai loves daughters are not true.

But no matter how surprised, no one dared to say anything to Granny Hua. Those who were disrespectful to her before had been taught a lesson, and no one knew when they would demand it on her.

Granny Hua is an extremely special existence in Fushui County. She is alone, with no relatives or reason, no one dares to get close to her, and no one dares to provoke her. she.

"Master!" Song Yushan greeted Granny Hua with a smile.

"Master?" The guests were taken aback.

Song Tao announced in time: "Yesterday, the little girl has joined her mother-in-law's house, and set up a female household on the same day. I hope everyone will take care of her in the future. Song thanked everyone here."

Before all the guests recovered from the news that the daughter of the Song family was going to set up a female household, the curtain fell on the Yushan ceremony of the Song family.

On that day, the Song family Yushan worshiped Granny Hua as a teacher in Xishoucaipu County, and the news that she was going to set up a female household to head the house spread throughout Fushui County.

Since then, most of the people who were waiting for the daughter of the Song family and Jihou to come to propose marriage have given up their minds.

The Song family is a well-to-do family in the county. They own a workshop and a bookstore, and almost monopolize the paper and book business in the county.

The Song family has only one daughter, and whoever marries her is the person in charge of these things.

Not to mention those who want to marry the Song family, there are even families who want to marry.

But it's different when the daughter of the Song family sets up a female household. Even if she marries her, these things will still be under her name in the future.

After setting up a female household and worshiping the feared Granny Hua as a teacher, Yushan of the Song family suddenly changed from being the most popular among the girls waiting to marry in Fushui County to an existence that could not be avoided.

"Hey, Yushan of the Song family probably won't be able to get married, Song Xiucai is confused, isn't this a broken incense?"

Song Yushan sent Granny Flowers back to the longevity shop. On the way back, people would always shake their heads and feel sorry for her when they saw her.

Many people who used to be enthusiastic when they saw her, greeted her, and saw her off, also avoided her eyes when she looked over.

If Song Yushan was really a young girl who had just reached her age and didn't know much about the world, she might feel lost, but she was born with Su Hui, and in her current state, she happily bared her little canine teeth.

Song Yushan strode through his bookstore, entered the house through the small door in the backyard of the bookstore, and saw his father sitting in the hall: "Father!"

"My daughter is back, why is she smiling so happily?" Song Tao waved his hand and asked his daughter to sit beside her.

Song Yushan counted in detail: "Aunt Wang from the bun shop on the street didn't say she would give me buns today, and she didn't meet Mr. Xu from Yushu Village by chance. The flower seller Luo Xiaomei didn't praise me for being good-looking, and sent me flowers on behalf of her brother..."

"Other people's love and enthusiasm for you suddenly dissipated. Don't you feel lost because of being treated coldly?" Song Tao asked.

"It's too late for me to be happy. They don't like me. They obviously like our bookstore and workshop. If they don't really like me, then they have nothing to miss. That's just right." Song Yushan said.

Song Tao nodded, and asked again: "The people who have expressed their intention to get married to me in the past have lost all letters, and my daughter is not worried?"

"Father, all I want to do now is to practice martial arts with Granny Hua, and to become a person who can protect herself like her. By then, I can go anywhere in the world. Isn't it more interesting than the boudoir?"

From what she has seen and heard since she was a child, most of what women want is to have a lover, a harmonious family, and a full house of children and grandchildren.

If she wasn't born with Su Hui, maybe she would gradually become such a person, but she wasn't.

She is soft-spoken and cannot cure other people's old illnesses, but she can work hard to protect herself.

It was also because she was eager to find a way to protect herself that she noticed Granny Hua.

The old man lives in the street market, but she has a feeling of living in isolation, and no one else dare to mess with her, no matter men, women or children.

Song Yushan observed for a long time, and found that Granny Hua looked disabled, but she was vigorous, her strength and speed were different from ordinary people, and she was stronger than a man in her prime.

That's why she wanted to learn martial arts from a teacher. She begged the old man for several years, but this year she let go, and she succeeded in learning martial arts only yesterday.

"Okay, good, good, good, good, good, our daughters are not inferior to boys!" Song Tao was very pleased: "You should learn from Granny Hua. Although she looks gloomy and dangerous, she has never taken the initiative to hurt her since I knew her. She will still help if there are people who don’t want to deal with them, but people just transfer their fear of death to her.”

"Daughter knows that mother-in-law is the most hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and she is very defensive." Song Yushan would smile heartily when he thought of Granny Hua.

At the beginning, when she went to ask for a teacher with shamelessness, her mother-in-law was very cold and refused without hesitation. Her mother-in-law responded to any of her good intentions, but one evening, when the rainstorm suddenly came, and it got dark earlier than usual, the mother-in-law personally Send her back to Osmanthus Alley, and let her only go at noon in the future, not because she is worried that she, a teenage girl, will be in danger of going back in the rain to smear her?
Since then, she has never been afraid of Granny Hua.

"Then I don't worry about being a father. With Granny Hua around, my daughter won't be bullied anymore." Song Tao said.

Song Yushan always felt that his father's words were strange: "With you here, others will not bully me because of your face."

Song Tao shook his head: "Parents can't always accompany their children for the rest of their lives. Do you still remember the story your father told you when you were young?"

Song Yushan didn't know why his father suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded his head: "I remember, there was a scholar who fell asleep in a dream to take the exam, and wrote the official document 'If you do good with your heart, you won't be rewarded even if you do good; if you don't do evil with your heart, you won't be punished even if you are evil' , the gods pass on praises, and you have to be the city god."

"'If you do good with your heart, you will not be rewarded; if you do evil without your intention, you will not be punished for your evil'. My daughter must remember this sentence," Song Tao said earnestly, "You have been smart since you were young, and you have a vision. To be born, there is something extraordinary, as a father, I believe that you can achieve something, but good will be rewarded, no matter when, where, and what status, do not follow one's inclinations, remember to do more Yin Gong, accumulate more merits, and then you can be rewarded Profound, this is what my father named you Yushan."

"Daughter knows," Song Yushan bowed his head, "Unfortunately, I don't know where that little jade seal went."
