Xue Mao's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard that the matter that haunted the resentful soul could be solved.
"You, can you really help me put them..." Xue Mao shrank: "Please leave?"
Even though he couldn't see him now, Xue Mao didn't dare to say nonsense, for fear that if he said any disrespectful words, the ghosts and gods hiding somewhere would hear him.
"That's right." Jian Yu said condescendingly, "Will I still lie to you?"
Xue Mao hesitated and asked: "What do you want to ask?"
Jian Yu asked, "What's going on with the family you're exchanging marriage with?"
Xue Mao was stunned for a moment: "You said... the family that is engaged to our family."
"Yes, details."
"That family... it's just an ordinary family with average conditions. It's in Qitian Village next door." Xue Mao didn't know why Jian Yu suddenly thought of that family, but there was no secret about it. He sat upright and thought about it: "Their family name is
Shi, the girl’s name is Shi Yao, she is as big as Liang Yu.”
Bai Yue said: "What does their family do?"
"The villagers near the mountains are almost all the same." Xue Mao said: "Farming a little, men hunting and women looking for wild products in the mountains, nothing special."
Peach Blossom Mountain is not said to be very barren, but it is not too rich. Bai Yue also asked about herbs and the like, but it was nothing. Fortunately, Peach Blossom Temple has good incense, and many villagers will sell some handicrafts at the gate of the temple when the weather is good.
Goods subsidize livelihood.
Bai Yue asked again: "What about your personality?"
"Character?" Xue Mao was obviously stunned for a moment. It probably didn't matter whether it was a girl getting married or her own daughter, as long as she was a woman who could take care of the housework and give birth to children, everything else didn't matter, let alone personality.
"You are about to change your relationship. You must have met each other before." Bai Yue looked at this man and wanted to kick him a few times: "You must have said a few words. Don't you know the other person's character and Shi Yao's attitude toward this matter?
What's your reaction to the marriage? Think it through for me. If you can't think clearly, we'll call your wife and children back to ask."
These words were so lethal that Xue Mao trembled in fright: "I know, I know, I know."
Bai Yue said impatiently, "Say it quickly."
Xue Mao nodded repeatedly: "I feel that she has a bad temper, at least not as docile as my daughter. We went to Shi's house once, and when we went there, she was arguing with her parents about something, and she didn't even give us a straight face."
Seemingly having a bad temper, Bai Yue asked: "Do you know what she and her parents are arguing about?"
Xue Mao shook his head: "Then I don't know."
Everyone was a little disappointed, Bai Yue simply said: "Since you don't know, then just stay here and wait for your wife and children to come to you in the evening. Mo Yi, let's go."
After saying this, Bai Yue turned around. Xue Mao panicked and rushed over, almost pulling Bai Yue's sleeve.
"I said, I said." Xue Mao said repeatedly: "Don't let them come back, I will say anything."
Bai Yue looked at him coldly.
Xue Mao hesitated and said: "She, she probably doesn't want to marry Liangyin. I only vaguely heard a few words about who she liked, but after we entered the house, her father slapped her in the face, and she said nothing more."
"anything else?"
"No more, really no more." Xue Maotou shook his head like a rattle: "Then she entered the room and didn't come out. We talked about the marriage with her parents, and she didn't come out again until we left."
Bai Yue bent down and stared at Xue Mao for a moment. After confirming that he had no more clues, he turned around and left.
"My lord, my lord, miss..." Xue Mao wanted to get up and catch up, but his legs and feet were numb after huddled in a corner all night. He staggered up and fell down again, and no one paid him any attention.
Although someone has just died in Peach Blossom Temple, the incense is still strong. It is sunny today and it is gradually becoming lively.
Bai Yue said: "Now it seems that Shi Yao is the most suspicious. The girl has someone she likes, so she is naturally more repulsive to the marriage exchange than Xue Liangyu, so she left earlier than her. Go and ask. Her parents, find the man she likes."
The Shi family had a dispute over this matter, so her parents must have been aware of it. Girls in mountain villages have limited daily activities. Even if their parents have never met, it is easy to find someone to date.
While he was talking, long bells rang.
"What is this doing?" Bai Yue looked at the place where the bell rang.
"What Peach Blossom Temple can do is, of course, seek marriage." Shen Ye knew this very well: "Next to the main hall of Peach Blossom Temple, there are two peach trees that are hundreds of years old. Peach Blossom Temple will provide red ropes for marriage to pilgrims on the first and fifteenth day of every month. , after a man or a woman asks for it, he writes his name and hangs it up, praying for a sweet relationship and a smooth marriage."
Before Bai Yue said anything, Qin Jiuxian looked eager to try: "Is it working?"
"What?" Shen Ye joked: "You little girl, are you in a hurry to get married?"
"I'm not in a hurry." Qin Jiu pouted and said, "I still have three brothers who haven't gotten married yet, so I'm worried for them. Get married and have a baby as soon as possible, and no one will care about me."
This was really a simple wish. Thinking about it, everyone was just waiting for news about Liang Meng. They had nothing to do anyway, so they simply went out for a walk together.
The two centuries-old peach blossom trees in the main hall of Peach Blossom Temple are indeed lively. The branches are covered with red ribbons. When the wind blows, the trees are flying all over the trees, which is very spectacular.
Shen Ye took Qin Jiu and a few servants who were joining in the fun to go to the temple to ask for a marriage rope. Bai Yue and Jian Yu stood aside and watched.
Jian Yu looked at Bai Yue's focused gaze and said, "What do you think? Do I want to take you to ask for a marriage rope? Let's consolidate the relationship between us."
Although he doesn't believe this, and Bai Yue doesn't seem to believe it, girls always like romantic things.
"No need." Bai Yue said as expected: "I never believe this, and our fate is deep enough that there is no need to consolidate it."
After meeting each other for thousands of years, Yue Lao has made great efforts to make this marriage possible.
"Then what are you looking at?"
Bai Yue tilted his head and said: "I know that burning incense and worshiping Buddha in the temple are actually divided into three, six or nine levels. For example, the more money you have, the bigger the incense candle will be, and you also have to grab the first incense stick on New Year's Eve."
Jian Yu nodded: "Of course."
"What about the peach blossom tree for marriage? Is there such a saying?" Bai Yue suddenly walked up to a monk standing not far away.
Bai Yue said a few words to the monk, and Jian Yu saw the monk nod and then point to the peach blossom tree.
Bai Yue came back with a satisfied smile.
Jian Yu had a gut feeling that she knew something terrible.
"I've probably found the person I'm looking for." Bai Yue looked at the peach blossom tree: "The young master said that the saying about this marriage tree is that the higher the red rope is hung, the more effective it is to get marriage. Generally speaking, if you can Donate more incense money to the temple, and the monk will build a ladder for you alone and hang the marriage rope from a high place."
The peach blossom branches are lush and leafy, and are taller than those elsewhere, reaching nearly ten meters. On the highest branch, a slightly faded marriage rope is flying in the wind.
Bai Yue's eyes were fixed on the flying red silk: "Tell me, which young lady is the marriage rope on the highest branch, and which young master is she begging for?"
