"Okay, if you want." He happily took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Shen Qingqing's hand, "This is the dowry specially prepared for me by my mother. Now I give it to you. Put on this bracelet, and you will be the dowry from now on."
My daughter."
Fang Zhenshan fumbled in his arms for a long time and found out two ingots of silver. His usually serious face was filled with a smile, "I don't have good taste. I don't know what the little girl likes, so just give me some silver."
Shen Qingqing hesitated and didn't answer. He grabbed the money and stuffed it into her hand, "Take it, it's useless for him to leave the money anyway, I might as well buy you two beautiful clothes."
Fang Zhenshan smiled shyly: "Yes, when buying clothes, a little girl should wear new clothes."
"Then I accepted it shamelessly, but now I have nothing to give...Does anyone know the rules here about consensual kissing? I can go back and prepare."
Wang Tiezhu chatted: "There are rules, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to apply them to you. We here believe that the child must kowtow to his godfather and godmother first, and then the godfather and godmother use the dishes and chopsticks they brought from home.
Clothes, feed the children, and wear new clothes.”
He imagined Shen Qingqing kneeling on the ground with her mouth open, begging for food, and he was immediately embarrassed to the point of getting goosebumps all over his body.
Shen Qingqing was also a little embarrassed, "Forget it, I'll cook a big meal tonight, invite the two elders over for a meal, and propose a cup of tea. That's the courtesy. What do uncle and aunt think?"
Fang Zhenshan and Mr. He naturally happily agreed. They had been alone for more than ten years and suddenly got a daughter as beautiful as a flower. How could they not be happy?
"By the way, I have something else to trouble everyone."
Shen Qingqing cleared her throat and raised her voice: "The construction of my new house will start tomorrow. The salary is thirty cents a day and we will take care of lunch. If you are willing to help, come and let us know tomorrow morning. If you don't have time, you can come over for a start-up meal."
Feeling happy."
Hearing this, the villagers smiled brighter than the other, "You two are moving really fast. It has only been a few days since the construction started. It just so happens that there is nothing at home at this time. I will go over to help tomorrow."
"I'll go too! If not for anything else, just for the food!"
"Looking at your potential, the boss's eyes are straightened out when he hears that."
The people in the village talked, laughed, and joked with each other, and the depressed atmosphere caused by the Shen family was swept away.
After returning home, Meng Yuan couldn't wait to ask Shen Qingqing: "How is it? Do you have any idea?"
Shen Qingqing muttered: "That Taoist priest should be my master. He has always been nicknamed 'Weird Old Man' in our village. It's because of his scary eyes."
His dark and bright eyes, coupled with the weird temperament he exudes from the inside out, can scare the children in the whole village to wet their pants.
Fortunately, she was brave and fearless, otherwise she would have been scared to death.
"So he had already calculated that you would have a life-and-death disaster when you were twenty-eight years old, prepared everything here in advance, and waited until the last moment to transfer your soul?"
Shen Qingqing nodded, somewhat touched in her heart, "After more than twenty years, he finally looks like a master. Next time we meet, we can consider cooking him two more hard dishes."
"Next time we meet?" Meng Yuan was puzzled, "Our lives have stabilized, will he show up again?"
Shen Qingqing's voice was determined, "Yes, I have a hunch that he will come back... Let's not talk about this now. Come over and make something with me first."
Half an hour later, the two of them arrived at the fork in the road behind the village, carrying clothes and shoes tied with white paper.
Shen Qingqing placed the brazier in the open space at the intersection, drew a circle around it with cinnabar, and while shaking the soul-calling bell, recited the original owner's name, place of origin, and the birth date of her previous life.
In fact, she didn't know whether the birth date of the original owner was the same as her previous life, but since the master chose the original owner, it meant that the two of them were somehow involved. The names were the same, and maybe the birth date was also the same.
Shen Qingqing recited it several times with the idea of giving it a try. The wind suddenly started blowing in the originally quiet wilderness. The wind swirled through the grass blades and gradually climbed upwards, and finally turned into a transparent figure.
The soul of the original owner has indeed returned.
She was still in the same state as before her death, wearing a shabby summer shirt, her hair was messy, and there was a large amount of blood on the back of her head.
The moment she saw Shen Qingqing, a flash of astonishment flashed in her eyes, and then she said calmly: "You are the one who will take over my body, right?"
Shen Qingqing raised her eyes slightly, "Have you met my master?"
"Your master is the Taoist priest wearing a blue robe, right? I've seen it before." She looked at Shen Qingqing seriously and smiled lonely, "It seems like you are more suitable for this body than me... I should probably leave.
Already."
The Taoist priest had already chosen the family for her reincarnation, but she had been reluctant to leave because there were some things she could not let go of.
Now that she saw another living self, she suddenly felt that those things were not important anymore. Someone was living for her, and her life was thousands of times more exciting than hers before. Why should she bury herself in the mud and be unable to extricate herself?
Shen Qingqing met her eyes gently, "Are you still sad about the Shen family? Don't be sad, that woman is not your biological mother, and she has never treated you as a daughter. You were originally supposed to be
stranger."
"What more can we ask for from a stranger?"
She slowly closed her eyes and didn't speak for a long time. When she opened her eyes again, two lines of tears fell from her eyes. She smiled softly, "You are right. I really shouldn't expect too much from strangers."
It turned out that it wasn't that she had done anything wrong, or that her mother had changed her mind, but that their relationship was abnormal from the beginning.
"Thank you for telling me this. I'm leaving. Please help me say sorry to my four children. I am not a qualified mother."
She bowed solemnly to Shen Qingqing, her expression and voice were the same quiet and peaceful, "Thank you, sorry for the trouble."
"Wait a minute, change into beautiful clothes and leave. In your next life, you will be reborn into a good family and live a happy and stable life."
Shen Qingqing turned her head and looked at Meng Yuan. The two of them squatted down at the same time and threw the tied clothes and shoes into the brazier to burn them.
As the green smoke rose, the ghost behind the brazier had a new skirt and a pair of brand new embroidered shoes in his hands.
She shook off her clothes and compared them in front of her, smiling shyly, "Thank you, this is the first time I wear such beautiful clothes. Your master said that he helped me find a good family, and I should be able to
Live a happy life."
Shen Qingqing smiled, "Yes, I will."
She held her clothes and waved to Shen Qingqing and Meng Yuan, "I'm leaving. I wish you all the best in the future."
"Wait a minute." Shen Qingqing stopped her, "Do you know where my master is?"
"He went to have a drink with an old friend. He should come back to you after drinking. He seems to have something else to tell you."
Shen Qingqing: "..."
I just praised him for being reliable, but now he is unreliable again.
If you skip business and go out to drink, isn't this a scolding? This chapter has been completed!
