Chapter 10 first quarter

The fourth master's big taboo, "Qi Lao San Sacrificial Archway", suddenly came up with a sudden solution when the eldest and young master returned home unexpectedly - Lu Qi's marriage. It turned out that there was an old lady in the Qi family, Shuqi, who was already 28 years old. Because she had lived in Nanyang for a long time, she was determined to find a talented man with Chinese virtues to be her husband. The heart is higher than the sky.However, the Chinese in Nanyang are either young coolies or half-aged gentlemen with a little bit of family business. A piece of Qi Sanye's heart disease.That day, when he saw the gown, he admired him, so he dragged him away in the name of playing chess, and secretly asked the servant to invite a young lady to hide outside the pavilion to watch.It's also a sin, the young lady fell in love with the gown at a glance, and felt that her demeanor, appearance, speech, and behavior were all satisfactory. It was simply that God had delayed her for so many years, and gave it to her just to create such a perfect person.

Since Qi San had the intention of marrying, when he came to Lu's house, he was naturally amiable and agreeable to everything President Lu said and did, which made the fourth master puzzled, thinking that he was clearly asking for others, so why was he like Qi San? The third is to curry favor with oneself.Moreover, seeing Qi San's face flushed and full of energy, he looked sick.It was obvious that he didn't want to go to the banquet.Then why is it arrogant and then bowed? After the guests left, Chairman Lu specially set up a small table in the inner study, and invited Qi San to drink with each other. Then he boasted about how to repair and maintain the archway over the years, and how to use the chastity of the archway to control himself and run the family. He has long regarded the archway as the ancestor of the Lu family.

Before the fourth master could finish speaking, Qi San stopped the conversation and said: "I just arrived in Qingtong, and I have already heard the praise of the fourth master from the people, saying that every time the fourth master nags a blessing, the newcomer will kneel down and salute in front of the archway. , This is really everyone's style, and the ancient style still exists." Si Ye's face turned red and white, but Qi San changed the subject again, brought up his daughter, clearly proposed the meaning of marriage, and specifically pointed out "It's a good habit to get married and pay homage to the archway. It should be continued. Even when Changshan and Shuqi salute, they must also go to the archway. If the fourth master has no objection, it is better to arrange the auspicious day of the zodiac on the same day as the ancestor worship , is also the meaning of teaching the next generation to inherit the teachings of the ancestors, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?"

Fourth master was overjoyed when he heard that, it was obviously a way to think for him and save his face.If the two families worship together in front of the archway, who in Qingtong will know whether the archway belongs to the Lu family or the Qi family?In this way, not only the Qi family would pay homage to the ancestors solemnly, but also the Lu family would keep their secrets securely. It is really a perfect idea that kills two birds with one stone.Immediately raised his glass to congratulate: "It's rare that Brother Qi takes a fancy to Xiao'er, that's really the face of our Lu family."

While pushing the cups and changing cups, Lu Changshan's marriage was scheduled without the knowledge of the parties. The wedding was imminent, and it was arranged two months later. It will be held when you come back. When Huici informed his son of the news, Changshan felt shocked and helpless as if he had been struck by lightning.He said, "Can I not agree?" Huici asked back, "What do you think?" She analyzed it to her son: "There are only two heirs in this family, one is you, and the other is the second young master. You were born to me, and the second young master was born to the old gourd. Although you are Eldest son, you are better than others in every way, but your life is not good. You have a useless mother, and you are doomed to endure in this life. Mother has endured all her life, and she has planned to bear it until she dies. If she dies, I'm afraid Don't dare to let it all out in one breath. If the master lives for a day, my mother and I will always have a meal. If the master dies, I will only have you as my hope. If you live up to it, let your mother spend two days in a comfortable retirement life, marry That girl from the Qi family is an upright young master. The Qi family is so powerful that even your father should respect them three points. If you marry the daughter of the Qi family, no one in the Lu family will dare to fight against you. My mother and I have spoken loudly, and I have lived my life. If you don’t agree—will your father allow you to not agree? Unless my mother and mother leave this Lu’s house at any time, then I will let you , I’ll just ask you for food.”

The words made the long gown tear up, knelt on the ground and said: "Mother, I promise, I will do everything according to my mother's will." The gown blows the flute.Whenever Changshan is happy or unhappy, he wants to play the flute.Send out all the thoughts from the holes through the sound of heaven and earth. The sound of the flute spread to Xiao Snake's yard, and she raised her head from the embroidery frame, slightly tilted her face, the afterglow of the sunset smeared on her face, as if she had applied a layer of rouge, which made the blouse look envious again. And jealous.

The blouse came to give Xiao Snake some smoke cream, and at the same time told Xiao Snake about the news of the marriage between the eldest brother, he said: "I don't know why Qi Laosan's daughter chose Eldest Brother and not me. It's a pity that I was outside that day. Entertainment, otherwise, I will accompany Ah Fu to the Qi family, then maybe it will be my turn to be the son-in-law of the Qi family today. In the future, with the power of the Lu family and the power of the Qi family, the entire Qingtong County will be destroyed. It belongs to our family." He couldn't tell whether the little snake was listening to him or not. Since he entered the door, the little snake has been embroidering.The embroidery of the little snake looks like a still painting, with its head lowered forever, the eyelashes covering half a screen of mountains under the eyelids, and there is a faint stream of water below.A pair of hands walked quickly, delicate and agile, like flowing clouds and flowing water, but it made people feel extraordinarily quiet.In the soft silence, the flowers bloomed, the fish came alive, the birds chirped, and the grass turned green.

That kind of posture really fascinated the blouse.He stared at the little snake embroidery for a long time, and felt that he could just sit and watch the whole afternoon without blinking.But the little snake never saw his existence.he knows.The man of the little snake is quiet, but his ears are moving, listening to the sound of the flute in the other courtyard, and the sound of the elder brother's long gown. The sound of the flute is everywhere, and the full sound of the flute blows people's hearts so empty, so empty that it can hold the whole sea, so empty that it is full of desire, hatred, and passion of destruction.

The short shirt suddenly smiled secretly, and said: "That day in the small garden, I know you saw everything behind the tree, you won't tell my father, will you?" The little snake was taken aback, and finally turned around.The short shirt smiled even more proudly: "You dare not say it. If you say it, you are not clean. Let me tell you, not only Fengqin, but you will also have this day sooner or later!" He stood up and took a step towards the little snake. But he stopped under the gaze of the little snake.As for the little snake, the blouse was a bit guilty. This little woman was quiet and lukewarm, and she was very tricky. He would never imagine what she would do next when he was in a relationship with her.People always have a certain degree of fear of things they don't know, and he is the same, so there is only empty intimidation: "The old man has been tired and sick since the last reception banquet for Mr. Qi. I don't think it will get better." When the old man dies, the whole family, everyone, has to listen to me, and you will be my man sooner or later! If you are smart, you can pray to the Buddha every day to let the old man die early, then you are still young. Enjoy two days. Why don't you just follow me now, so as not to be a widow." He suddenly smiled, "I forgot that you are probably still a baby? You don't know what it's like. If you bloom, you will I know it's urgent. Just wait and see, sooner or later it won't fly out of my palm."

Despite the teasing and threats in the short shirt, the little snake just twisted its neck and did not speak. There was a "squeak" at the gate of the courtyard, and I heard the maid outside the door saying: "Master is here." The short shirt scolded "You are so old", and quickly stood up and walked to the side, acting in a well-behaved manner. look like. The fourth master had already picked up the curtain and came in. When he saw his son, he let out a "huh" and frowned.The blouse hurriedly answered with hands hanging down: "I'm here to deliver medicine to Aunt Liu." Everyone in the Lu family just called Wanshou Gao "medicine" instead of "smoke", which sounded more grand.Although the fourth master didn't like his son smoking, he didn't stop his aunt from smoking. On the contrary, he implied a kind of encouragement, because in a sense, smoking represented a gesture, giving up, patience, and resignation.He just habitually yelled at his son: "You have the ability to make these things, but you don't have the serious ability, so why don't you get out?" Before finishing a sentence, he coughed three or four times.

The blouse quickly "rolled" out.Fourth Master took Xiao Snake's hand and said, "Your addiction is getting heavier and heavier, it's better to be more restrained, after all, you're young." Little Snake let out an unavoidable "Hey" and followed Fourth Master to the bed .The maid obediently brought in the footwashing water, and the little snake squatted down to help Fourth Master roll up his trousers and take off his shoes. The fourth master stepped into the warm water with a pair of feet, sighed comfortably, and there was some warmth in him, and he said to the little snake with a strange nostalgia: "In two days, I will go to Changchun with Qi Laosan. Congratulations to Master Puyi on his ascension to the throne." The Grand Ceremony. I asked Mrs. Hu to find out the court clothes yesterday, and I can hardly wear them anymore. When the emperor ascends the throne, I will definitely do more things. By then, you will be my wife. If I die, you will all do it for me. I keep the chastity, so I want to earn a chastity archway for me, the real chastity archway of the Lu family!" The little snake could hear the emptiness of the fourth master from the bold words. If he hadn't admitted in his heart that the archway was not a Lu family property after all, he wouldn't be thinking about the "real Lu family archway". Then the fourth master changed his subject and talked about the various novel arrangements of the Qi family, saying that the style of the dressing table in Wu Yiniang's Fengqin house is no longer a new thing, and the Qi family still has even weirder furniture. In the future, he I also want to get such a set, and put it in the little snake's house.He also said that the Qi family likes to eat Western food and eat with a knife and fork, and there are many etiquettes.Finally, when it comes to the garden of the Qi family, I said that the gardener of the Qi family is quite interesting. He also brought it back from Nanyang.This period of contact with the Qi family made him more interested in gardening than ever before, and he clearly grasped when a young tree is old and where is the most likely place to cut a knife to cause a wound, and he studied the knife skills carefully. There is an inevitable relationship between the depth of the wound and the shape of the wound. While fourth master was talking non-stop, his hands gradually started to move, he pulled the little snake onto the bed, stripped off his clothes layer by layer, and began to rub her over and over again, kiss her, and bite her, as if breaking a flower tree .He had been very keen to learn those twisting and bending techniques from Qi Gardening, and the morbid beauty of human ingenuity made him so crazy that when he galloped on the little snake, he couldn't help but imagine her as a diseased plant. The tree can be distorted and cut at will. He was driven almost crazy by his own fantasies, and it was hard for him to resist the desire to cut a knife on the white jade skin of the little snake.
