incense as a medium

Chapter 41 Widowers and Widows

Following Liu Zixuan's introduction, Feng Xiucai greeted everyone one by one, then stood beside Liu Zixuan respectfully, without saying a word.

On the contrary, Fifth Master was very interested in this Feng Xiucai: "Oh? What was this person's original name?"

Liu Zixuan looked at Feng Xiucai, and Feng Xiucai said: "Back to the fifth master, the villain's original surname is Feng, because my father thought that I could be a scholar and shine in the family, so he named me Xiucai."

"That's kind of interesting," Fifth Master clapped his hands and laughed, really forgetting what happened just now: "According to what you said, if your grandfather expected your father to become the number one scholar, he would name your father the number one scholar." No?"

There was also a smile on Feng Xiucai's face, but this smile seemed a little forced or a little fake, he said: "Although it is not in the middle, it is not far away. My late father's name is taboo Tanhua."

"Haha!" The fifth master burst into laughter, really laughing backwards and forwards. The result of laughing too hard was to choke on saliva, and coughed while covering his mouth. The two maids quickly put down the things in their hands and opened them quickly. Make tea, and pat the back while cleaning up the tears in the corners of his eyes and the saliva on his front.

But it turned out that what the two girls were holding were not gifts, but things that Wu Ye used when he went out. In the box, besides the tea bowl and tea, there was also a delicate box of eight treasures. Wu Ye had a slightly better cough, and one of them The girl opened the box and squeezed out a candied fruit for Lord Wu.

Qi Peiyun was dissatisfied with being ignored, and yelled at the fifth master: "Don't laugh, don't laugh, my business is not over yet, just tell Master Liu to let him marry my daughter to me!"

Feng Xiucai looked at Liu Zixuan in surprise when he heard the words, and asked, "Didn't brother Liu say that my uncle and aunt agreed to let me come to our house to propose marriage? What's going on?"

Liu Zixuan looked at Feng Xiucai in embarrassment, and then looked at Liu Junge, but Liu Junge pulled a face. Liu Sushi had obviously cried just now, and no one here could explain to him what was going on. He looked at his wife Qin Mrs. Feng, accused Feng Xiucai of a crime, and went over to pull Mrs. Qin to ask the reason in a low voice: "Didn't you write that your parents agreed to let Bailu marry Feng Xiucai? What's going on today?"

A flash of panic flashed in Qin's eyes, and he forced a smile and said, "It's a long story. Do you know the relationship between your mother and the Qi family?"

Liu Zixuan is different from other people, he has a very keen observation, and he knew Qi Ding's hostility towards Liu Su's early on. At this time, when Qin said this, he turned his head to look at Qi Zhen and Qi Ding, and he had already guessed all about it. , he frowned and said, "The Qi family?"

Mrs. Qin nodded, and talked about Fang Xiaoyou's affairs back and forth, and finally said in a low voice: "I didn't believe Fang Xiaoyou's words at first, but I observed secretly, when Fang Xiaoyou lifted his bellyband , My sister is expressionless, but my mother is not quite right, so...Didn't my sister often ask her husband to borrow books to read some time ago? From my husband's point of view..."

Qin's point stopped, but Liu Zixuan reacted quickly, his complexion changed slightly, and he looked at Qi Peiyun with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.

Liu Bailu's knees hurt a little, she moved quietly, and couldn't help but cast a glance at Feng Xiucai from the corner of her eyes.That Feng Xiucai's complexion was sallow and sallow, with no blood in the slightest, his exposed fingers had distinct knuckles, and the veins on the back of his hands were still faintly exposed. The spring wind was a bit strong, and as soon as the wind came in, Feng Xiucai couldn't help covering his mouth and coughing. After one or two sounds, it can be seen that it is extremely depressed.

The eldest brother said that this Feng Xiucai has a small income, and it seems that he is also a person who knows how to live.

Liu Bailu secretly thought in his heart, but he didn't know that Qi Peiyun saw all her little actions. He glanced at her out of the corner of his eye, smiled and lowered his voice, "Why? Do you want to marry this widower?"

Liu Bailu blushed, and looked up at Liu Junge secretly. Obviously, although Qi Peiyun's voice was lowered, Liu Junge, who was close at hand, heard it. Liu Bailu thought, and blushed and said: "What's wrong with being a widower? There are children in the family. If you marry, you don't have the pressure to carry on the family line and you don't have to bear the pain of childbirth. My aunts are all dystocia." Liu Bailu trembled as he spoke, and then said "What's more, the children are older, so it's easier to bring some. Besides, look," she covered her hands with her sleeves, and pointed to Feng Xiucai quietly: "This widower is a sick man, and he will be gone in a few years. Wouldn’t it be better to bring the children by yourself and no one to control them? The best thing is that the widower’s family has no elders, and relatives in other clans are out of reach, so he can live as he likes.”

Liu Bailu's tone of voice was extremely brisk, as if he had already seen the beautiful life in the future.

Qi Peiyun was surprised and said: "You think so?"

Liu Bailu looked at Qi Peiyun and nodded seriously, not missing Liu Junge's contemplation from the corner of his eyes.

Qi Peiyun flicked her forehead with his fingers, and said sarcastically: "You have one widower, where did the old rules go?"

Liu Bailu covered her head and muttered, "I've been bullied like this by you today. If I continue to behave myself, won't I be at the mercy of others? I might as well marry that widower."

Qi Peiyun smiled coldly, and pointed out: "Fool, do you think you'll be fine if you marry a widower?"

"What do you mean?" Liu Bailu's face turned pale, as if he had been hung in mid-air by someone, and he was at the mercy of others without exerting any strength.

She is an extremely proud woman, so she naturally thinks that she deserves the best man in the world to marry her, love her, and love her.Everyone regards the No. 1 Yuan in the capital as the most difficult crown to win, because even if you are excellent in the assessment, it is difficult to please all the judges. Leave her home.

But she, Liu Bailu, not only won the top ten items, but also won the praise and support of all the judges. She won these without any effort, so she became the capital of her pride.

What are princes and grandchildren?Don't you have to come obediently and line up to ask her to marry you?Why did she choose Zhou Weiqing?Not only was she sure that Zhou Weiqing would treat her kindly because she chose him for abandoning the prince and grandson, but also because Zhou Weiqing promised her "a couple for life".

Such a dream is something that even a princess would not dare to aspire to.

No woman would like her husband to be kind and affectionate to other women, Liu Bailu didn't dare to ask too much, but because of Zhou Weiqing's words, she had expectations.

Yes, Zhou Weiqing was chosen by herself.

Although she is straight-tempered and a little silly, she is a very determined person, so Liu Sushi dare not marry Liu Bailu in private, but anyone who comes to ask for marriage will explain clearly to Liu Bailu one by one. If possible, he would look for an opportunity to let her hide behind the screen and take a sneak peek at the person coming.

This is also allowed in Beijing.

That Zhou Weiqing was also one who would seize the opportunity, so he made this promise in front of many people, that's why Liu Bailu nodded.

When Liu's house was ransacked, Liu Bailu suddenly felt helpless and ran outside regardless of her parents' obstruction. It was at that time that she realized how stupid, really stupid, those so-called close friends in the boudoir could only share each other's secrets. Go out and gossip, but you can't help people when they are in trouble.

And what about the fiancé who has always obeyed and doted on her?Hide at home and avoid seeing each other!

For the first time, she felt powerless as a woman, because at that time, it was the elder brother's running around that kept the family's money.

Later, when the Zhou family came to withdraw their marriage, Liu Bailu once again saw his blindness, that Zhou Weiqing!
Liu Bailu hated him so much that her teeth itch, but she could only greet him politely.

Now, like the puppet with strings, I was manipulated by someone again. This feeling is really bad.

The two were whispering here, and others couldn't hear it, but Kang Yibang, a martial arts practitioner sitting opposite Liujun Pavilion, could hear it clearly. He changed his expression, turned his head and said to Fifth Master: "Fifth Master, everything Everyone comes first, let alone marriage. Master Liu has always been a man of faith, since Master Liu promised Feng Xiucai, we can't force Master Liu to break his promise, can we?"

"This..." Fifth Master spat out the melon seeds in his mouth, and looked at Qi Peiyun in embarrassment.

Qi Peiyun pretended not to see it, and only stared at Liu Bailu, the two of them were still holding hands, looking very ambiguous.

In the eyes of outsiders, Qi Peiyun looked at him affectionately, but Liu Bailu could see some reminders and warnings from his eyes.Liu Bailu closed her eyes slightly to think about today's events, and chewed Qi Peiyun's words over and over in her heart for a while. Suddenly, she caught something, and raised her eyes to look at Qin Qin sharply. Shi.

This glance made Qin shudder inexplicably, and she unconsciously leaned against Liu Zixuan.

Liu Bailu raised the corners of her lips and laughed, and said the words three times in her heart before slowly opening her mouth, "Fifth Lord Rong, I have something to say about today's matter."

"Oh?" Fifth Master took a strange look at Liu Bailu, who had been silent from beginning to end, and said with great interest, "It's true, this is related to your marriage. If you were in the capital, you probably wouldn't have a place to talk." , but I heard that the pass here is very different from the capital city, and there are very few restraints on women, tell me, let me see how you, the No. 1 girl in the capital city, have transformed in the past few years?"

Liu Bailu gave Fifth Master a blank look in his heart. I'm afraid this is just waiting to see her joke. She rejected his marriage proposal at the beginning, but it made him unable to step down for a long time. Thinking about how brave I was back then, in front of so many people In front of him, the fifth master showed a little affection for him, and he thought he was interested in him, and then sneered.

Thinking of the past, Liu Bailu's face felt a little hot. Liu Su's had taught her for many years, and finally controlled her temper, but sometimes she couldn't help getting carried away or being teased into impulsiveness once. In this place, without those intrigues, she can press her temper and temper herself well, but looking at today's situation, it seems that An An's prudence in words and deeds cannot make her seek good luck and avoid evil.
