Chapter 500 Seeking the Red Line
Liu Yunxiang heard the chaos outside, so he opened the car curtains and looked out, and saw that there were indeed many people gathered in front of Yuelao Temple, blocking the East-West Street.
There was an old woman standing in front of the Yuelao Temple. She was wearing a long blue cotton skirt and a scarf on her head. She was holding an ax in her hand. She was shouting that she was going to smash the statue of Yuelao. There were pilgrims from the Yuelao Temple who stopped her.
she.
"Old man, there must be a reason for what you are doing, right?" A young woman asked the old man while stopping her.
"Does this Yue Lao guarantee marriage?" the old woman asked.
The young pilgrim nodded, "It's to protect your marriage."
"Then I asked for a fortune for my son, but it didn't save his marriage. That's why the moon doesn't work. Since it doesn't work, I smashed it to avoid defrauding everyone."
With that said, the old lady pushed away the young female pilgrim and rushed forward.
Another old woman stopped her and said, "Isn't this the Li family's aunt? Your son has already been engaged and is about to get married. Why are you still saying that old age is not working?"
This old man was Tian, the old lady of the Li family in the west of the city. When she saw her neighbor, she couldn't help complaining, "I came to Yuelao Temple to seek marriage for my son, and what I asked for was a signature. Then the matchmaker came to the door and said
The girl was the daughter of the Jiang family, the gatekeeper, and it was quickly decided. I even came to Yuelao Temple to fulfill my wish and donated two taels of sesame oil money. In the past half month, my family began to prepare for the wedding, but who knew that the Jiang family suddenly
I regretted it and had to break off the engagement. Do you think I should smash this Yue Lao statue?"
When the neighbor heard this, he ouched twice, "Why does the woman want to break off the engagement all of a sudden?"
"They are gatekeepers. Officials must look down on us ordinary people."
"I heard that your two families have passed the big and small weddings. You must have spent a lot of money. Isn't this a scam?"
"There was nothing we could do. They wanted to marry their daughter to another official. We came to ask for help and they kicked us out. They threatened to break our family's legs if we didn't comply."
"The Jiang family is bullying others, and we are all angry when we hear it," said the neighbor.
After hearing this, the other people who were watching also agreed and scolded the daughter of the Jiang family for being shameless. She had already made a marriage agreement but still wanted to climb up the ladder. It was really not a good thing.
"We are ordinary people, but we cannot be bullied by others. We are all neighbors in the street. Let's go to Jiang's house to seek justice for Lao Li's family." The neighbor greeted.
"I've seen the Jiang family's daughter too. She looks like a foxy girl, and she doesn't seem to be peaceful at first glance. Let's go together and scold the Jiang family's daughter to see if she has the nerve to go out in the future!"
"Yes, let's go together!"
Liu Yunxiang clicked his tongue and said, "This old lady just made a big fuss by smashing the statues. She led a group of noisy people to the Jiang family and forced the Jiang family's daughter to marry her son."
But she didn't know what was going on inside, so she didn't care about right and wrong.
As soon as the old lady led everyone away, the street was vacated. Liu Yunxiang was about to lower the car curtain when she saw that the noisy crowd suddenly became silent. She took another closer look and saw a tall figure wearing a light green summer skirt.
The woman came.
When everyone saw her, they all moved out of the way.
The woman walked up to Mrs. Li alone, nodded and saluted.
"Aunt Li, I heard that you were going to smash the statue of Yue Lao, and Yun Ying also came to take a look at the excitement."
Mrs. Li pointed at her, "You, you still have the face to show up!"
"Why am I so shameless?"
"You marry one daughter to two husbands!"
"Your son and I have divorced, so how can you say that one girl will marry two people?"
"Why do you break up the engagement with my son? How much money has my family spent on you? If you back out right away, don't you want to trick our family to death!"
"I do intend to trick you."
"you!"
The woman turned around, and Liu Yunxiang saw her face clearly. She was a beautiful woman with a temperament as beautiful as an orchid in an empty valley. At this time, her eyes were shining, and there was a sarcastic smile on the corner of her mouth.
"I still want to save some face for your Li family and your son, but I don't want you to be shameless!"
"You!" Old Mrs. Li couldn't scold women, so she pretended to be pitiful and cried to everyone: "Everyone heard it, you are such an uneducated and shameless woman, she deliberately harmed my Li family!"
Everyone also accused the woman, saying that it is okay to break off the engagement, but why bother to do it right in front of your eyes? They have already made preparations. If you break off the engagement and deceive others, what good will it do to you.
The woman looked at the crowd indifferently, and waited until they had scolded her enough, then she said: "The Li family's daughter-in-law is living alone with the wife of a handyman at home. I looked at it and you still want me to endure it. What about others? I
I don’t know, but I, Jiang Yunying, can’t bear it!”
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers looked at each other in confusion, not expecting such a thing to happen inside.
Mrs. Li pointed at the woman's nose and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The handyman and his wife have already divorced. My son has indeed fallen in love with that woman. He will just wait for you to get married and take her into his concubine. What's wrong with that?"
?”
"You actually think there's nothing wrong with it?"
"My son is a scholar. Sooner or later he will take the exams to gain fame. It is also appropriate for him to have one or two concubines."
"If he can pass the exam, a dog can write articles!"
"you!"
"I'm afraid your family forced the handyman to reconcile with his wife, right?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
The woman turned around and looked at the Yue Lao Temple and said: "This Yue Lao is really not working well. If you don't have an ax, then smash it!"
After saying that, the woman glanced at Old Mrs. Li contemptuously, and then walked outside.
Everyone discussed for a while, saying that the Li family was wrong, and that the daughter of the Jiang family was provocative. In short, it was other people's business, so everyone dispersed after seeing enough excitement.
Of course, Old Mrs. Li would not really smash the statue of Yue Lao. She just looked at the big guys and walked away. She also went home angrily.
Liu Yunxiang glanced at the Yuelao Temple, and then looked at Yan Mu. He was taking a nap against the carriage. She thought of something and secretly got out of the car. As she walked towards the Yuelao Temple, she heard two women talking quietly.
"The Jiang family's daughter is so powerful, let's see who dares to marry her!"
"That's right, he is evil-minded and ruthless, unless he is homesick and restless."
"The Li family is also at fault. Her son is not reading material at all."
"Students will not be as dirty as him. He actually lives with the daughter-in-law of a servant in the family. This daughter of the Jiang family has broken off her engagement with his family. It will be difficult for his son to marry another one."
Liu Yunxiang shook his head and laughed, so both sides suffered losses.
However, she still admired the Jiang girl, at least she didn't wrong her and even let out a bad breath.
When he came to Yuelao Temple, Liu Yunxiang asked for two red threads.
At night, while Yan Mu was asleep, Liu Yunxiang secretly reached into his arms and took out a red rope.
She curled her lips, and he still treasured the red string given to him by another woman in his arms. It was simply the work of a heartless man. If it hadn't been for his amnesia, she would not have been able to spare him.
Throwing the red string aside, she took out from under the pillow a red string that she had prayed for today at Yuelao Temple, and gently stuffed it into his arms.
He has a red rope and she has a red rope. The two of them are a match made in heaven.
Just as he stuffed the red rope in, Yan Mu grabbed his hand before he could take it out.
