Chapter 23

After getting ready, Xu Xiaofu set off with Wang Shi, and the lotus was handed over to Father Xu to take care of it.

Having never been to a temple before, Xu Xiaofu felt very fresh along the way. When he left the city, the fertile fields outside the city were all lush green. It was already May, and the fields were all planted with corn.The mountains in the distance were also green, and wild flowers and weeds bloomed everywhere, Xu Xiaofu couldn't help but feel better.

Holding Wang's arm, Xu Xiaofu talked and laughed, there were quite a lot of people along the way, Wang said that today is the first day of the new year, and there will be a lot of people offering incense.

The poorer people went to the temple on foot, while the rich and the rich drove their carriages.Xu Xiaofu was chatting and laughing with Mrs. Wang when a carriage covered with pale yellow crepe passed by, and there was a faint fragrance coming from the carriage, probably some lady or lady was going to offer incense.As he was watching, Xu Xiaofu noticed a man wearing a black robe behind the carriage. The robe was very simple. The man was tall and tall, with black hair tied in a crown, thick black eyebrows, and a straight bridge of nose , the lines on the side look resolute, tough, with a cold face, and the age is only about 30 years old.

The horse is strong, the man is tall and strong, and the face is also the type that Xu Xiaofu likes. Xu Xiaofu doesn't like the skinny boy, but prefers a more masculine man. It's not easy to see such a quality man.

The man was just walking along on the horse, not fast, Xu Xiaofu watched intently, and after a while, he realized that he seemed to have seen this man before?Hearing the comments of passers-by beside him, Xu Xiaofu remembered who this man was.This man was actually the General Xie I saw on the bustling street that time, oh, that unlucky general who beat his wife.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiaofu grinned, what a pity, such a high-quality man would end up being taken by that lucky girl.Just as she was thinking, a girl's voice came from the carriage in front of her, "Cousin, hurry up and follow us, don't get lost, you won't be obedient when the time comes."

Hearing this delicate voice, General Xie frowned, Xu Xiaofu couldn't help laughing out loud.

Xie Duanyu turned his head to look at the source of the laughter, and saw that it was a pretty little woman, smiling happily, showing white jade-like teeth, who couldn't see the teeth, Xie Duanyu gave the little woman a cold look , Turning his head and legs clamping the horse's belly, the horse under his crotch immediately galloped forward, and quickly passed the carriage in front of him.

The delicate person in the carriage panicked, raised the curtain and shouted to the voice in front, "Cousin, what are you doing so fast!"

Xie Duanyu ignored Jiao Didi's people, but ran even faster.Then a woman's voice sounded from the carriage, "Jiao Mei, don't worry, Duan Yue promised to see Master Wenli, so he won't break his promise. I'm afraid we'll go to the temple first, so we won't be afraid if we walk slowly." of."

Xu Xiaofu also saw that charming person, thought to himself, she is indeed charming, her name is charming, even she looks so charming, it's a pity that General Xie might not appreciate it.

The carriage quickly disappeared from Xu Xiaofu's eyes, Xu Xiaofu then looked away, and chatted with Wang Shi all the way.Mrs. Wang obviously heard the discussions around her, and sighed, "This General Xie is really pitiful, he is already thirty, but he hasn't even got a wife. I'm afraid he will be lonely for the rest of his life."

Xu Xiaofu said: "Mother, is this General Xie really overpowering his wife? I think it's because of fate."

Mrs. Wang said: "Where is the fate? It's the real wife. It is said that when General Xie made a marriage, the day before the bride was married, the bride died suddenly. At the age of 20, General Xie was the second The woman was engaged for the first time, but within three days, the woman fell ill. The third engagement was at the age of 21. The woman went to the temple to offer incense, was humiliated, and finally hanged herself. The fourth engagement at the age of 23, the woman went out to play and died. He fell into the lake and drowned, after that no one dared to marry this General Xie, and later some people didn’t believe in evil, and at the age of 27, they got engaged for the fifth time, and the woman also died, what is this not to restrain his wife?”

Xu Xiaofu was dumbfounded when he heard this, if it was just one time, there might be some misunderstanding, this has been done five times, five engagements, all the women died, could it be that he was really a wife?She is a modern person, so she is naturally not superstitious, but sometimes she has to believe it.

All the way to the temple, there were indeed many people, although the weather was not hot, Xu Xiaofu was sweating profusely.

As Wang went to burn incense, Wang added money for sesame oil, and asked for root sticks, which read: The boat can be sailed in calm weather, and it really looks like the moon is perfectly round in the Mid-Autumn Festival.There is no need to worry too much about everything, and Fulu can celebrate both.

Xu Xiaofu didn't know who the lottery was for, so he followed Mrs. Wang to untie it, and gave the lottery to the old monk. Wang said: "Master, I asked for the marriage lottery for my daughter, can you help me untie it?" Make a sign."

Although Xu Xiaofu didn't believe this, she didn't stop her. She also wanted to hear how the old monk solved the lottery.

The old monk glanced at the lottery in his hand and said with a smile: "This is the lottery, don't worry too much about everything, Fulu has its own good things to protect, sister-in-law, you can get whatever you want."

Overjoyed upon hearing this, Wang took back the lottery, dragged Xu Xiaofu to a place where there were few people, and carefully put away the lottery.

Xu Xiaofu couldn't help laughing, "Mother, do you still believe this? I'm an abandoned woman now, and I still carry lotus flowers. Who wants to marry me? I'm going to serve you and Daddy for the rest of my life. I won't marry for the rest of my life."

Mrs. Wang asked for a good lottery, but she didn't care about it, and said with a smile: "Nonsense!"

Compared with the front of the temple, the backyard of the temple is much quieter. A tall man is standing beside a peach tree, his lips are tightly pursed, his body is standing upright, and he is staring at the knot in front of him with a blank expression. little peaches.

In the room behind the temple, a kind-hearted old monk sat cross-legged on a cattail fan, and opposite sat a well-maintained woman and a delicate girl.

The woman looked at the old monk, put her palms together on her chest, and said a Buddhist name, "The woman has met Master Wenli, Master Wenli, the woman is here for my son's marriage."

Master Wen Li closed his eyes tightly, holding a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, "Don't worry, the benefactor, General Xie's marriage is destined by God."

The woman was a little anxious, "Master, even though that's the case, my family Duan Yue has killed five daughter-in-laws who haven't passed the family. How to solve this? Now there is no girl who is willing to marry into our Xie family."

"Northwest, people born at noon in 134 Jianyuan will be able to dispel the hostility in General Xie, and only then will he be able to break General Xie's fate."

The woman was stunned for a moment, and after doing the calculations, her complexion changed a little, and she said in embarrassment: "Master, a girl born in 134 Jianyuan is already 20 years old now, and a girl of this age may have been married long ago. "

Master Wen Li said: "She and General Xie are married for the second time."

The woman's complexion became even uglier, and she naturally understood what she said, that is to say, the person who solved her son's obsession with his wife is an abandoned woman!The dignified Xie family, how could he tolerate an abandoned woman as the general's wife! "No, Master Wenli, how can this be done? If I really marry such a person, my son will be ridiculed by the world."

Master Wen Li said a Buddha's name, "Benefactor, the marriage is destined by God. This is the predestined marriage of General Xie. If you don't do it, General Xie will only be lonely for the rest of his life."

The woman's complexion changed a few times, but finally she sighed, and continued to ask after a while: "Master, after marrying her, will my son be able to marry a flat wife?"

"Amitabha, benefactor, General Xie's marriage is destined by God."

The woman asked again, Master Wen Li still said the same words, the woman had no choice but to leave with the charming girl behind her.

After leaving the meditation room, Shen Jiaomei took the woman's arm and said coquettishly, "Auntie, what does Master Wen Li mean? Is it true that my cousin's destiny is to marry a possibly abandoned woman? To... ...If that's the case, there's nothing I can do about it, presumably after marrying the destined person, can my cousin marry someone else?"

The woman frowned tightly and remained silent, apparently unable to tolerate the dignified Xie family wanting to marry an abandoned woman as a daughter-in-law.The woman's complexion was a little ugly, and her head seemed to be a little dizzy. She only felt that the scenery in front of her was shaking, and not far away, her son's figure became more and more blurred, and a soft and charming exclamation sounded in her ears, "Aunt, aunt, What's wrong with you. Cousin, cousin, come and help me."
