"The little girl in the family is only fifteen years old. Choose an auspicious day, invite the guests, play the harp and sing the harp, and complete her hairpin ceremony." Song Tao, wearing a Confucian shirt, said to the guests watching the ceremony.
After speaking, he looked outside the hall: "Yushan, come in and greet everyone!"
Just as Song Yushan was about to go in, she saw a certain big white goose that was supposed to be locked up in the back garden today. He got a red cloth from nowhere and put it on his head. He rushed out and ran to her in the blink of an eye. Ahead, I was almost to the corridor.
It was too late to speak, but soon, she pinched the big white goose's neck with one hand, grabbed the red cloth with the other, and quickly tied a knot on its mouth: "Dabai, if you call again today, I will send you to the hospital tonight." Fumanzhai, let me stew it and eat it!"
Dabai's eyes showed fear, and he locked his little wings tightly, not daring to move, for fear that he would be sent to the terrible Fumanzhai in the next moment. That is a place where any poultry can only be put on a plate.
Seeing that it was being honest, Song Yushan put it down and said, "Go back to the back garden. You can't come out until the guests have left."
The big white goose had a red cloth tied around its beak and ran away as if it were running away.
"Yushan?" Song Tao called out again when he saw that his daughter had not come in yet.
Song Yushan quickly corrected his demeanor and entered the main hall.
The guests were a little surprised to see her dressed in red.
"That's all for normal times. How can a girl in the boudoir dress up like a warrior and a chivalrous person for the wedding ceremony?"
"Song Xiucai is the only one who is too pampered."
"I originally thought that Song Xiucai was kind and wanted to marry this girl on behalf of the youngest son in the family, but now it seems that it is okay."
Next the guest of honor enters.
A lame, one-eyed, black-robed old lady on crutches walked in slowly.
"Why is it her?" Someone couldn't help but exclaimed, and when the old lady Xun Sheng looked at her with indifferent eyes, she quickly covered her mouth.
The dangerous and strange old lady makes people dare not speak nonsense, but it can't stop people's thoughts and makes them puzzled.
A normal family, who loves their daughter, would not hire such an old lady who deals with dead people unless she has a blessed person, right?
Although this flowery old lady has some unpredictable abilities and is quite strange, her husband died and her children were lost, she is blind and lame, and her job is not very auspicious. It is because she is dissatisfied with her daughter that she hired such a master. Bin? It seems that the rumors that Song Xiucai loves his daughter are not true.
But no matter how surprised, no one dared to say anything to Granny Hua. Anyone who had been disrespectful to her had been taught a lesson, and no one knew when they would demand it from her.
Granny Hua is a very special existence in Fushui County. She is alone, with no relatives or friends. No one dares to get close to her, and no one dares to provoke her. She is a person who is unlucky and unlucky in everyone's mind, but everyone cannot live without her. she.
"Master!" Song Yushan greeted Granny Hua with a smile.
"Master?" All the guests were startled.
Song Tao promptly announced: "Yesterday, my daughter became a member of her mother-in-law's family. On the same day, she also established a female household. I hope you will take care of her in the future. Song would like to thank you all here."
Before all the guests had recovered from the news that the Song family daughter was going to have a female household, the Song family Yu's hair-raising ceremony came to an end.
On the same day, the news spread throughout Fushui County that Song Jiayushan had become his teacher, Granny Hua, who worked at Shoucai Shop in the west of the county, and wanted to set up a female head of the household.
From then on, most of the people who were waiting for the daughter of the Song family and their hairpin queen to come to propose marriage gave up their thoughts.
The Song family is a wealthy family in the county. They own a workshop and a bookstore and almost monopolize the paper and book business in the county.
The Song family only has one daughter. Whoever marries her will be the person in charge of these things.
Not to mention those who want to marry the Song family, there are also many people who want to marry into the Song family.
But it's different when the daughter of the Song family sets up a female household. Even if she marries her, these things will still be in her name in the future.
After setting up a female household and becoming a disciple of the feared Granny Hua, Yushan of the Song family suddenly went from being the most popular among the women waiting to be married in Fushui County to being someone who could not be avoided.
"Well, Yushan of the Song family probably won't be able to get married. Song Xiucai is confused. Isn't this the end of the relationship?"
Song Yushan sent Granny Hua back to the longevity shop. On the way back, there were always people shaking their heads and feeling sorry for her when they saw her.
Many people who were very enthusiastic when they saw her, greeted her and gave her this and that, also avoided her eyes when she looked over.
If Song Yushan was really a little girl who had just grown hair and was not familiar with the world, she might feel disappointed, but she was born with Su Hui, and her current state made her smile happily.
Song Yushan strode through his bookstore, entered the house through the small door in the backyard of the bookstore, and saw his father sitting in the hall: "Father!"
"Nanny is back, why are you smiling so happily?" Song Tao waved to his daughter and asked her to sit next to her.
Song Yushan counted in detail: "Aunt Wang from the bun shop on the street didn't say she wanted to give me buns today, nor did she meet Mr. Xu from Yushu Village by chance. Miss Luo, the flower seller, didn't compliment me on my good looks and sent me flowers on her brother's behalf..."
"Others' love and enthusiasm for you suddenly disappeared. Don't you feel that you were left out?" Song Tao asked.
"It's too late for me to be happy. They don't like me. They clearly like our bookstore and workshop. If they don't really like me as a person, they have nothing to miss. This is just right." Song Yushan said.
Song Tao nodded and asked again: "Everyone who expressed their intention to get married in the past has lost their letters, so Nannan is not worried?"
"Father, all I want now is to practice martial arts with Granny Hua and become a self-protective person like her. Then I can have all the world. Isn't it more interesting than having fun in the boudoir?"
From what she had seen and heard since childhood, most women really wanted a lover, a harmonious family, and a family full of children and grandchildren.
If she hadn't been born with Su Hui, she might have gradually become like this, but she wasn't.
She speaks softly and cannot cure other people's old illnesses, but she can work hard to protect herself.
It was precisely because of her eagerness to find a way to protect herself that she noticed Granny Hua.
The old woman lives in the market, but she feels isolated from others, and no one else, male, female, old or young, dares to mess with her.
Song Yushan observed her for a long time and found that Granny Hua looked disabled, but her agility was different from that of ordinary people, and her strength and speed were different from those of ordinary people. She was even more powerful than a strong man.
That's why she wanted to become a martial arts master. She had begged the old man for several years and finally let go this year. She just succeeded in becoming a master yesterday.
"Okay, okay, men are ambitious in all directions, and our girls are not inferior to men!" Song Tao was very pleased: "You should learn from Granny Hua. Although she looks gloomy and dangerous, she has never taken the initiative to harm her since I knew her. If someone comes to her door with help, she will still help. People just transfer their fear of death to her."
"As my daughter knows, my mother-in-law is the most hard-spoken and soft-hearted, and she is very protective of her shortcomings." Song Yushan smiled heartily when she thought of Granny Hua.
When she shamelessly went to become a disciple, her mother-in-law acted very coldly and refused without hesitation. Her mother-in-law responded to any of her good intentions. However, one evening, when a heavy rain suddenly hit and it got dark earlier than usual, her mother-in-law personally He sent her back to Osmanthus Alley and asked her to only go there at noon in the future. Why wasn't she worried that she, a teenage girl, would be in danger if she went back in the rain to smear her reputation?
Since then, she is not afraid of Granny Hua at all.
"Then the father can rest assured. With Granny Hua here, my daughter will not be bullied." Song Tao said.
Song Yushan always felt that his father's words were strange: "As long as you are here, others will not bully me if they look at your face."
Song Tao shook his head: "Parents can never accompany their children for a lifetime. Do you still remember the story that your father told you when you were a child?"
Song Yushan didn't know why his father suddenly mentioned this, but he still nodded: "I remember, it was said that there was a scholar who fell into a dream during an illness and took an exam, and wrote the official document 'If you do good with intention, you will not be rewarded even if you do good; if you do evil without intention, you will not be punished even if you are evil.'" , the gods praised him, and he became the City God."
"'If you intend to do good, you will not be rewarded even though it is good; if you do evil without intention, you will not be punished even though you are evil.' Nannan must remember this sentence," Song Tao said seriously and thoughtfully, "You have been smart since you were a child, and you have had visions of holding a jade in your mouth. When you are born, there is indeed something extraordinary. As a father, I believe you can achieve something, but good deeds will be rewarded. No matter when, where, or what your status is, do not follow your own will. Remember to do more yin exercises and accumulate more merits, so that you can be rewarded with blessings. Profound, that’s what my father meant when he named you Yushan.”
"My daughter knows," Song Yushan lowered his head, "It's a pity that the little jade seal has gone."
