Of course Zhou Qiang will fill the hole dug by Zhou Qiang.
Zhou Qiang pretended to be listening to someone in the corner, and when he arrived near the ancestral hall, he saw Lu San, Lu Zilin and others.
"If you don't listen to the corner, what are you doing here? Are you hungry and eating the northwest wind?" Zhou Qiang spoke casually.
When Lu Zilin heard this, he smiled and said, "I don't understand. The groom's official is here."
"What? What is Brother Jiaxuan doing here?" Zhou Qiang looked curious.
"Who knows. I don't know what the rules are in Jiaxuan. I put my new daughter-in-law on the kang and came here to worship my ancestors. I don't know what's going on." Lu Zilin said something strange to Bai Jiaxuan.
"Third brother, what's going on?" Zhou Qiang ignored Lu Zilin and turned to ask Lu San.
"The young master's family is afraid of harming that woman." Lu San looked aggrieved and helpless.
He felt that Bai Jiaxuan should not act like a mother-in-law. A man should do whatever he wants and not be timid. What woman can't sleep?
"That's right." Zhou Qiang nodded, pushed the door open and went in.
Lu Zilin and the others hesitated for a moment, then followed in secretly.
If it was Mr. Zhu who went in, Lu Zilin and others would not dare to go in, but now it is Zhou Qiang, and Lu Zilin and others would dare to go in and take a look.
"Xiaoqiang, why are you here?" Bai Jiaxuan was squatting under a pillar. He wanted his brother-in-law to come back. His brother-in-law is an expert and can definitely tell him what to do.
"Brother Jiaxuan, you're wrong." Zhou Qiang said again without any clue.
"What's wrong?"
"you are wrong."
"What was wrong with me?"
"You shouldn't be here, you should go back and sleep with your wife in your arms."
"I also want to go back, but" Bai Jiaxuan couldn't continue.
"But are you afraid that you will sleep with Sister Xiancao to death?" Zhou Qiang said clearly.
Bai Jiaxuan didn't say anything, he looked aggrieved. At this moment, who can understand his helplessness?
"Wrong." Zhou Qiang said again.
"What's wrong again?"
"If you don't sleep with Sister Xiancao, Sister Xiancao will not live long." Zhou Qiang's words were not shocking and he would die.
"What?" Bai Jiaxuan panicked. He was afraid that the fairy grass would die, so he could not sleep.
Why don't you sleep now? The grass jelly is still going to die. What's going on?
"Brother Jiaxuan, have you heard a story?" Zhou Qiang also wanted to tell a story.
In the TV series, Mr. Zhu told a story about a white deer.
He said, "The white deer is coming,
The white deer that has been legendary for generations,
The white deer that brings peace and blessing to our villagers is coming.
Wherever the white deer passes, thousands of trees flourish, seedlings grow strong, grains are plentiful, livestock prosper, and families are in good health.
If you marry the fairy grass, the white deer will come. "
This is the story told by Mr. Zhu.
But is what Mr. Zhu told really just a story?
not necessarily.
Here's a guess.
Mr. Zhu is an expert, he may be able to see 'luck'.
The luck in Bailuyuan is 'White Deer'.
And this luck fell on the clan leader.
Bai Bingde is old and can no longer bear Bailuyuan's luck.
This luck will be transferred to the next clan leader.
The next clan leader is either Bai Jiaxuan or Lu Zilin.
Lu Zilin was a villain with very bad personal ethics and had affairs with many widows and women.
If Lu Zilin was not at the bottom of society, he might be able to do well.
But at the bottom of society, Lu Zilin's hypocrisy cannot be concealed, and the villagers can see Lu Zilin's true face.
Therefore, it is almost impossible for Lu Zilin to become the clan leader.
But Bai Jiaxuan is different.
He is an upright person who dares to take action.
If he was not at the bottom of society, he would definitely not be doing well.
But Bai Jiaxuan happens to be at the bottom of society.
The eyes of the common people are sharp, so when you choose a clan leader, you will not act like you are blind.
Although Bai Jiaxuan also has many shortcomings, the villagers still want Bai Jiaxuan to be the patriarch.
However, Bai Jiaxuan has a huge disadvantage, that is, he has no wife or children.
When Lu Zilin deliberately spread gossip, Bai Jiaxuan and the Bai family got a lot of negative news.
This makes it difficult for the 'White Deer Luck' to fall on Bai Jiaxuan.
Mr. Zhu must have seen this, so he said, "Marry the fairy grass, and the white deer will come."
In other words: Bai Jiaxuan has a daughter-in-law and a child, so the position of the patriarch will naturally belong to Bai Jiaxuan.
This is just a wild guess.
Back to business.
"What story?" Bai Jiaxuan asked.
"In ancient times, there was a young man named Zeng Aniu in the village.
His family has hundreds of acres of fertile land and good conditions, but the population is not large.
Zeng A Niu's life was not good. His first daughter-in-law died in childbirth, his second daughter-in-law fell into the water and died, and the third daughter-in-law died of illness.
This year, Zeng Aniu's eighth daughter-in-law also died, and her death was unclear.
Watching Zeng Aniu marry the Ninth Fang, a mountain girl named Lingcao.
Everyone thought that this girl would die soon.
but no.
Not only did Lingcao survive, but she also gave birth to two boys and a girl to Zeng Aniu, and even had a great-grandson in her arms. "
"The spirit grass is not dead? Why isn't she dead?" Bai Jiaxuan asked hurriedly. He felt that this story was very similar to him.
“Zeng Aniu doesn’t know why the spiritual grass is not dead.
Many people don't understand.
One day, a passing Taoist priest revealed the mystery. "
"What's the mystery?"
"What is this woman's name?"
"Spiritual grass."
"The Taoist priest said something: Although grass has a low life, it will never stop growing."
"Eternal life?" Bai Jiaxuan seemed to understand.
"Brother Jiaxuan, there is a poem like this, the grass grows in the original land, and it dries up every year. The wild fire will not burn it out, but the spring breeze will grow again." In order to fill the hole, Zhou Qiang also worked hard to deceive.
"The wildfire will never burn out, but the spring breeze will blow it again." Bai Jiaxuan murmured to himself, looked at Zhou Qiang and asked: "So, can't I burn my fairy grass to death?"
"It will definitely not burn to death." Zhou Qiang nodded hurriedly, feeling that he was about to succeed.
"This is wrong." Lu Zilin suddenly spoke. He and a few friends had been eavesdropping.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jiaxuan asked with a frown.
"My family is a spiritual grass, and your family is a fairy grass. The name is wrong." Lu Zilin didn't want Bai Jiaxuan to have a child, so he was picky about it.
"Spiritual grass and fairy grass are both grasses. They live and breathe and cannot be burned to death." Bai Jiaxuan spoke with his neck stiffened.
"It's hard to say whether someone else's magical grass will burn to death, but it's hard to say whether your fairy grass will burn to death." Lu Zilin continued to mess around.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jiaxuan hesitated again. He was really afraid of harming the fairy grass.
"Brother Jiaxuan, do you know why the weeds everywhere keep growing?" Zhou Qiang spoke again.
"Why?"
"Because there are seeds."
"seed?"
"Brother Jiaxuan, if you don't sow seeds, the grass will really die."
"If you don't sow seeds, the grass will die?" Bai Jiaxuan seemed to understand.
"That's right." Zhou Qiang patted Bai Jiaxuan on the shoulder, "Brother Jiaxuan, why are you still standing there? Why don't you go sow the seeds quickly."
"Sowing seeds?! Haha, I know." Bai Jiaxuan pushed Lu Zilin out of the way, "Get out of the way!" and ran away quickly.
Lu San smiled at Zhou Qiang and followed him back.
Zhou Qiang and Lu Zilin were left in the ancestral hall.
"Xiao Qiang, were you talking nonsense just now? Was that story made up?" Lu Zilin stared at Zhou Qiang and asked.
Lu Zilin was not ready to let Bai Jiaxuan go, and wanted to cause trouble. As a result, Bai Jiaxuan had no wife or children.
Zhou Qiang looked at Lu Zilin and answered the question, "I've been making trouble in the ancestral hall for a long time this night and can't sleep. What should I do?"
"What are we going to do?" Lu Zilin's eyes lit up after hearing this, "How about we make money?"
Before, something happened to Zhou Qiang’s family.
Lu Zilin and other idle men from the village lured Zhou Qiang to make money.
The purpose is very simple, which is to wipe out Zhou Qiang's family wealth, that is, to wipe out the family.
Now, Zhou Qiang plans to trick Lu Zilin.
"Are you trying to make money? It's no fun just playing around with a few copper coins." Zhou Qiang looked like he was very rich.
Zhou Qiang really has some wealth.
He is the only son in his family.
He started saving money from his grandfather's generation, and his father also saved money.
Three generations of people worked hard to farm and make money, but they were lucky enough to accumulate some money.
"Oh?" Lu Zilin rolled his eyes, "Don't you think the copper coin is small? Then let's play around with it?"
"Dayang is fine, but Brother Zilin, you are not in charge of your family, can you take out Dayang?" Zhou Qiang means that he has the final say in his family and can take out the money at will.
Not so with Lu Zilin.
Lu Zilin’s father, Lu Taiheng, is still alive.
There is a woman in Lu Zilin's house who controls the money.
It's not easy for Lu Zilin to come up with Dayang.
"Haha. Xiaoqiang, you are looking down on your brother Zilin. Look, what is this?" Lu Zilin actually took out five or six yuan.
Lu Zilin has a lot of money on his body because his father, Lu Taiheng, was about to celebrate his birthday and asked Lu Zilin to buy things.
"Whose house are we going to play at?" Zhou Qiang asked.
"Widow Li's house is fine, let's go!" Lu Zilin took the lead and left.
"I'll go back and get the money. I'll go right away." Zhou Qiang followed. He didn't take any money with him.
"Isn't your baby cowardly?"
"Brother Zilin, whoever is a coward tonight will be a coward."
After a while.
Widow Li's house.
Widow Li has already boiled water and made tea, and is watching Lu Zilin and Zhou Qiang playing Pai Gow.
In the first few games, Lu Zilin didn't mess up. Zhou Qiang seemed to be lucky and won every game.
Not long.
Zhou Qiang shook the silver dollar in his hand and said, "Brother Zilin, do you still have money? If I don't have any money, I will go back to sleep."
"Why don't you have money? I have plenty of money." Lu Zilin had already lost three yuan, so he gritted his teeth and took out another three yuan.
"That's right. Come on, let's continue."
"Okay, but I'll be the boss this time." Lu Zilin was already planning to do something wrong.
"Okay, you are the banker." Zhou Qiang doesn't care who is the banker, he can win no matter what.
Bet for a while.
Lu Zilin was sweating profusely. He had already lost all his money. Even if he plays tricks, he still loses.
"Brother Zilin, do you have no money? If you don't have any money, get out of the way and let Sang Laoba get in." Zhou Qiang looked at Lu Zilin with a smile.
"Zilin, please take your time with your hands today." Widow Li pulled Lu Zilin aside. She had a good relationship with Lu Zilin, and she couldn't bear Lu Zilin to continue to lose.
Zhou Qiang, Sang Laoba and others continued to bet.
However, the bets are all copper coins, and the winnings and losses are not very big.
Bet for a while.
Zhou Qiang won them all.
"Haha, you're lucky today, don't you have any money?" Zhou Qiang looked embarrassed.
"What do you mean, baby?" This made Sang Lao Ba almost take action, but someone next to him stopped Sang Lao Ba.
"It's not interesting. Do you have any money? If you don't have any money, I can just leave."
Zhou Qiang left triumphantly, not giving Lu Zilin any face.
Lu Zilin and the others all went home in disgrace.
Lu Zilin didn't bother to stay at Widow Li's house for a few more minutes.
Usually, Lu Zilin is the last to leave and stays for a few more minutes.
the next day.
Bai Jiaxuan took the fairy grass into the ancestral hall.
Many villagers gathered around to watch.
Zhou Qiang was also among the onlookers.
This ancestral hall is a bit old, and it has a different meaning to the people of Bailu Village.
"Jiaxuan, lead your wife to kneel down and offer incense." Bai Bingde said. He and Mrs. Bai Zhao are here.
Bai Jiaxuan nodded and took the fairy grass to the ancestral tablet.
Someone handed the incense, and Bai Jiaxuan and Xiancao took it.
Originally, the clan leader was supposed to deliver the incense, but Bai Jiaxuan was the clan leader's son, so he found someone older to deliver the incense.
Bai Jiaxuan and the fairy grass were offered together.
At this time, someone shouted: "A stick of incense, kowtow, ancestors, please come back."
"Two sticks of incense, bow upward, may your descendants be blessed forever."
"Three sticks of incense, worship with heart, the weather will be smooth and you will be safe and peaceful."
The ceremony is over.
The name of the fairy grass is recorded in the ancestral hall.
From then on, Wu Xiancao became the Bai Wu family.
Zhou Qiang thinks this custom is quite interesting.
noon.
Bai Jiaxuan's family.
Zhou Qiang is here.
Zhou Qiang didn't come on his own, he was called by Lu San.
Bai Jiaxuan and Xiancao want to thank Zhou Qiang and treat Zhou Qiang to dinner.
"Sister-in-law, the oily noodles you made are so delicious." Zhou Qiang was slurping down the noodles, his mouth full of oil and spicy food.
"If it's delicious, eat more bowls." Bai Jiaxuan was also eating fried noodles. He also found the fried noodles made from grass jelly very satisfying.
"Okay, sister-in-law, have another bowl." Zhou Qiang was not polite and ate three bowls in a row.
night.
Lu Zilin and others approached Zhou Qiang again.
"Xiaoqiang, I was unlucky last night. I want to win it all back tonight." Lu Zilin was full of confidence and seemed to win. He and a few people had already finished the game and were waiting for Zhou Qiang to take advantage.
"Okay, Brother Zilin, you are going to lose this time, but you can't fall out."
"No, I'm not that kind of person." Lu Zilin smiled and took Zhou Qiang to Widow Li's house.
"The tea has just been brewed." Widow Li was very enthusiastic. Everything is ready here.
"Okay." Zhou Qiang and Lu Zilin started betting.
Zhou Qiang lost the first round.
Then, they all won.
Zhou Qiang was not polite and defeated Lu Zilin and the others again.
"You kid is cheating!" This time, Sang Laoba couldn't help but take action. They were the ones responsible, and Zhou Qiang must have been deceitful.
"You old boy, you can't afford to lose?!" Zhou Qiang punched Sang Lao in his eight front teeth.
"Oh, my teeth!" Sang Lao's eight front teeth fell out.
"Hey, we can't fight!" Lu Zilin and others hurried over, trying to hug Zhou Qiang and pull away.
Zhou Qiang dodged left and right.
The scene became chaotic.
Zhou Qiang took the opportunity to kick him several times.
Lu Zilin's thigh was kicked hard by Zhou Qiang.
Several others did not escape, and were all kicked by Zhou Qiang.
"What's wrong? You guys can't afford to lose? If you can't afford to lose, don't play. It's just embarrassing stuff." Zhou Qiang cursed a few times and walked away proudly.
Widow Li on the side was stunned.
The next day.
Lu Zilin's family.
"Where's the money? Where's the money for you to buy things? You're a waste of money." Lu Zilin was being scolded by Lu Taiheng.
Sang Laoba and others could not escape being punished by their families.
