After returning to his wife's residence, Lin Qian lay on the bed, recalling the scene he had seen before: "The ritual at the beginning seemed to indicate a commonality of wishes between the living and the dead. What the old Taoist priest did
Because we are practicing this common bridge.”
Thinking of the discolored candlelight and the two talisman papers with birth dates written on them, Lin Qian's eyes flickered slightly: "The first step of the ritual has been completed. I don't know what the second step will be like."
"Watching the ceremony is really troublesome, but I can only wait." Lin Qian exhaled and slowly closed his eyes. Since things couldn't happen quickly, he could only take his time.
The moonlight outside the window climbed up the courtyard wall and passed over the treetops, but it came to Gu's house.
"Wouldn't it be good if I just put the coffin here?"
Ye Zhen touched his chin and looked at the red coffin placed in the yard. The soil on the coffin had not been cleaned yet.
"What's wrong? This is your sister, my biological sister!" Gu Qian placed the tributes, incense, candles, paper money in front of the coffin, turned around and glared at Ye Zhen, the rebellious son.
Because the excavated coffin cannot be placed directly on the ground, the coffin must be placed on a board or bench. The coffin must not touch the ground before it is reburied.
This was arranged by the old Taoist priest. As for why, he did not explain. He just said that he would do this, and Gu Qian had no choice but to obey.
"Sister, it's such a pity that you died at such a young age." Ye Zhen sighed as he looked at the memorial tablet placed on it by the middle-aged man.
But just as he said the words, Ye Zhen felt the girl tug on his clothes. Ye Zhen was a little confused and looked down: "What's wrong? What are you pulling me for?"
The girl motioned Ye Zhen to look in front. Ye Zhen looked up in confusion and saw Gu Qian looking at Ye Zhen with a gloomy expression. Then, Ye Zhen saw Gu Qian lifting the broom in the yard and hitting him.
"You little brat, look what nonsense you are saying! I haven't dealt with you recently. Do you think you are good again?"
Looking at the angry Gu Qian, Ye Zhen looked extremely calm and showed no fear. However, he was not timid, but the girls were timid. He quickly pulled Ye Zhen and walked towards their room.
, while running and shouting:
"Dad! Don't be angry. Agu may have been a little out of his mind recently and talks nonsense. You must not argue with him. I will take him back to the room right now. Dad, please calm down first."
The girl's movements were smooth and smooth, and her plan was to pull Ye Zhen out of the yard in the blink of an eye.
"Let me go, why are you pulling me? I can fight, I don't need to escape, woman, let go of Ye quickly, Ye will fight with him!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Woman, let me go!"
The sound of Ye Zhen's struggle echoed in the courtyard. Gu Qian was about to explode when he heard that his son was going to have a showdown with him, the father.
"Hey, you little brat, you really want to rebel!" Gu Qian threw the broom in his hand to the ground, picked up a thirty centimeter thick stick from the corner and chased after him.
"Gu Qian! What are you going to do! It's not enough to beat your daughter to death, but you also want to beat your own son to death?"
Just as Gu Qian was chasing Ye Zhen angrily, a middle-aged woman appeared in the corridor. She looked at Gu Qian coldly and her tone was extremely cold.
"Madam, why are you here? Didn't you go back to your parents' home?"
Seeing the person coming, Gu Qian quickly threw the stick aside and walked quickly to the middle-aged woman's side.
"Ha... something like this happened at home, why can't I come back? Get out of my way, don't block my mother." The woman turned a blind eye to Gu Qian's smile, her face remained cold, and she came straight to Gu Qian without even looking at him.
Arriving at the red coffin.
Looking at the coffin placed quietly in the yard, the woman's eyes became moist. The cold night wind blew by, and Gu Qian stood beside the woman silently.
The beautiful face on the black and white portrait seemed to be hating the two of them.
"Madam, I was wrong this time..." Gu Qian said softly.
The woman just looked at him without saying a word. She didn't know how much time had passed. She looked deeply at Gu Qian and then turned and left the yard. Before leaving, the woman left a message: "When will my daughter be buried again?"
, when will you go to bed."
Hearing his wife's words, Gu Qian was about to reach out and explain something, but after looking at the black and white photos illuminated by candlelight, he swallowed the words that came to his lips.
Instead, he said something that was neither salty nor bland, but other than that, he didn't say a word again.
When the woman heard what Gu Qian said, she paused slightly, but it was just a pause. The woman didn't say anything else and left the courtyard, leaving Gu Qian alone in the courtyard.
The moonlight climbs over the treetops, it's a bit cold today.
bedroom.
"Woman, why are you pulling me? It's not like I can't beat him." Ye Zhen looked at the girl looking out through the door and said with some displeasure.
The girl listened to the movement outside the window and found that Gu Qian had not really chased him. She felt relieved. She patted her chest and turned around to look at Ye Zhen angrily.
"A-Gu, dad has been in a bad mood recently. What if you keep being angry with him and accidentally get sick from anger? I know you are blaming dad for being careful, but now is not the time to lose your temper."
"Dad already regrets it and feels bad. You shouldn't be so angry with him." The girl walked to the table, looked at Ye Zhen condescendingly, and said with an extremely serious expression.
Looking at the rising and falling chest, Ye Zhen turned his gaze and said, "So what? His regret is his business, what does it have to do with me?"
"That's how people are. When they do something, they never think about the day they will regret it. When they really regret it, what's the point?"
"Can regret solve the source? Is there any medicine for regret in the world?"
Although it is not clear what happened in the Gu Mansion, this does not prevent Ye Zhen from talking nonsense here.
"Also, I'm warning you one last time, woman. Don't teach Ye to do things. You will not be able to bear the consequences of teaching Ye to do things." Ye Zhen looked at the girl with a serious face and reminded her.
"Agu, you have changed. Do you not love me?" After hearing Ye Zhen's words, the girl's eyes instantly became moist.
"Well, I don't love you anymore. No, to be precise, I have never loved you. Ye has been in the world for so many years. When has he ever fallen in love? No, since he hasn't, how can he say he has loved you?" Ye Zhen nodded.
He nodded and said.
"I don't believe it. Since you don't love me anymore, why don't you dare to look at me?" The girl shook her head with a look of disbelief.
Well……
"Why don't you move your chest away from Ye first? Maybe Ye can look at you." Ye Zhen touched his nose and said with some embarrassment.
"No, I know you still love me..."
"What are you going to do...wait!"
"We can discuss anything if anything. Hey! Why are you taking off my clothes?"
"Woman! Don't go too far...wait! Why are you taking off your clothes? Put them on quickly!"
"Oh my God! Woman, what are you going to do!"
The moonlight outside the window fills the air, the candlelight in the room goes out, and a battle destined to be irresistible is about to begin.
…
…
Well……
In the Lin Mansion, Lin Qian, who was deducing clues with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes: "Is this the female version of Overlord's bow?"
Lin Qian looked in one direction with a strange expression, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly:
"A chuunibyou with beautiful fortune."
Lin Qian thought for a while and had no intention of rescuing Ye Zhen. He closed his eyes again. It was better not to get involved in some things.
Although Ye Zhen screamed quite miserably, maybe he was just enjoying the process?
Lin Qian thought it would be better not to be a troublemaker.
Among the clouds in the sky, Yuan Tiangang silently looked away from the Gu Mansion. He looked at Li Chunfeng with an extremely strange expression:
"Isn't it good for you to do this? That thing is always a ghost. Is there really no problem in doing this kind of yin and yang intercourse?"
Li Chunfeng looked at the book in his hand very calmly. When he heard Yuan Tiangang's words, he glanced at the Gu Mansion below, and then said:
"What's the problem? He's a scapegoat, a complete evil ghost. What can go wrong? Even if there is a problem, it's just a little bit of a psychological problem at most, but it's also something he cares about."
"Isn't there a saying that goes well? If you never forget it, there will be a response. I think you also understand this truth."
Yuan Tiangang:......
"Li, you know I'm not saying this, is it really okay for you to deceive the younger generation like this?" Yuan Tiangang said with a skeptical attitude.
"Don't worry, the mentality of young people in this era is very good. Besides, this kind of thing has happened throughout the ages." Li Chunfeng opened a page of the book in his hand: "Look, doesn't that Ning Caichen like this kind of thing?
?And that one named Xu Xian, for the same reason, don’t pay too much attention to these things.”
"Even now, aren't there Mr. Lin and Mr. Shen? If they hadn't taken the lead in doing this kind of thing, do you think Mr. Ye would have had that idea?"
"So, everything is of his own free will. I am just fulfilling his wish. What's the problem?"
Well……
"Suddenly I feel that what you said makes sense. It's better if you don't say it next time. I'm afraid that Mr. Lin and Mr. Ye will chop you down together." Yuan Tiangang said meaningfully.
Hearing his friend's words, Li Chunfeng's face changed slightly. He lowered his head and thought carefully about the tempers of Lin Qian and Ye Zhen. If they really knew what he said today, Lin Qian might not kill anyone, but Ye Zhen
It's hard to tell if he's really a second-rate guy.
"God knows what happened today, and the earth knows it. You know it and I know it. If others find out, don't blame me for exposing you." Li Chunfeng looked at Yuan Tiangang and threatened.
It's not that he's afraid of Ye Zhen and Lin Qian, it's just that he's too lazy to play with Ye Zhen, it's a waste of time, and he can't do anything serious, which is very troublesome.
"Haha... you know how to do this." Yuan Tiangang sneered.
"There is no other way. Apart from these, the rest is of no use to you." Li Chunfeng said nonchalantly.
"Don't be shameless."
"Each other."
The moon goes deep into the mountains and cannot come out; the clouds have not returned even after they have gone far away.
The night has passed, and the rising sun has jumped out of the horizon.
A new day has begun in the small town.
"This is a betrothal gift sent to Gu's house. You should go with it."
In the courtyard of Lin Mansion in the early morning, Lin Yu gave instructions to Lin Qian and several servants carrying fruit baskets and holding some paper clothes.
Lin Qian looked at the items in the hands of the servants, and his eyes flashed slightly: "I know."
"Go." Lin Yu looked at the melon and fruit paper clothes with a little sadness in his eyes.
Lin Qian didn't say anything. She turned around and left the Lin Mansion with several servants. With the sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking, the second step of the dark marriage began.
"Brother Lin, you said if we deliver these things to Gu's house early in the morning, will we be beaten?"
After walking out of the Lin Mansion, after a while, a servant holding a paper coat spoke with some anxiety.
"I don't know. It depends on the situation. If the situation is as you said, we can just put down the things and run away." Lin Qian looked at the paper wedding dress in the servant's hand and made a fool of himself.
"This is a good idea. Brother Lin has a better mind than me." The servant holding the paper wedding dress grinned and looked a little silly.
The corner of Lin Qian's mouth twitched. Lin Qian did not dare to express unnecessary opinions on the intelligence of these people. He seriously doubted that these servants would ask such questions entirely because of this copy.
NPCs don't deserve to have IQ.
They were very fast and because they went out early in the morning, they did not attract too many people's attention. This may be why Lin Yu sent them off early in the morning.
Arriving at the door of Gu Mansion, there were already people waiting here. Lin Qian looked at Ye Zhen, who looked hopeless, with some sympathy in his eyes. After looking at the girl whose face was so sweet that she almost clung to Ye Zhen,
Lin Qian silently averted his gaze.
At this moment, in front of the Gu Mansion's courtyard, Ye Zhen, Ye Zhen's wife, Gu Qian, Gu Qian's wife, and a few young men who looked like servants were waiting for their arrival.
It was as if they had known they were coming.
"Give us your things, and you can go back." Gu Qian looked at the melons and fruits, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said.
Ye Zhen wanted to speak, but the girl pulled his arm, so Ye Zhen had no choice but to give up.
Lin Qian observed these small actions without saying anything. He turned around and asked them to hand over these door-to-door gifts to Gu Qian and the others. He watched the handover between the servants and made sure that they had all been given.
Lin Qian sent a message to Ye Zhen using the system email, then turned around and left with the rest of the people. The next thing was probably held at the Gu Mansion, and he had to take a short detour before he could come back.
Just like that, he followed Ye Zhen into the Gu Mansion in an open and aboveboard manner. Gu Qian would drive them out. Based on the fatherly kindness and filial piety between Ye Zhen and Gu Qian, it is estimated that Ye Zhen would also be kicked out.
"Yard wall, don't look at me later."
Ye Zhen looked at the email sent by Lin Qian, glanced at the courtyard wall secretly, and immediately knew what was going on.
Lin Wudi was planning to climb the wall.
Seeing Lin Qian and others disappear into the street, Gu Qian waved his hand and called on the servants who had received the door-to-door greetings to walk towards the backyard.
Ye Zhen hesitated for a while and then followed. Seeing Ye Zhen following him, Gu Qian's face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Huh?" The middle-aged woman walking next to Gu Qian glanced at Gu Qian, and her face turned gloomy for a moment.
Seeing this scene, Gu Qian hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't ask Ye Zhen to get out and allowed him to follow him.
"You guys go back first, I'll buy some things and I'll be back in a while." Lin Qian saw that she was already some distance away from the Gu Mansion, so she spoke to the servants.
When the other servants heard Lin Qian's words, they all nodded and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Okay, let's go back first. Brother Lin, remember to come back early after you finish shopping."
"Yes, I will."
Lin Qian looked at several servants rushing back towards the Lin Mansion. They did not stay there for long, turned around and entered an alley, and disappeared inside after a while.
Gu Mansion, in the courtyard.
Ye Zhen and the girl stood under the eaves, watching others arrange the fruits neatly in front of the red coffin.
After the fruits and melons were placed, Gu Qian came to the coffin holding the paper wedding dresses.
The red wedding dress was neatly placed in front of the portrait. Gu Qian lit three notes of red incense and inserted it into the incense burner. Red smoke drifted out from the incense.
A faint fragrance spreads in the yard.
"It is a great tragedy in the world for a white-haired person to give a black-haired person a gift. Now I am offering incense to my daughter. How miserable is this?" Gu Qian looked at the person in the portrait, his eyes filled with guilt.
"Ha... I had known this before, why did I do it in the first place?" After hearing Gu Qian's words to himself, the woman's face became gloomy.
"Mom, please calm down, dad doesn't want this." Seeing her mother-in-law say this, the girl quickly spoke out to comfort her.
Hearing what her daughter-in-law said, the woman looked at the woman in the portrait, sighed, turned around and left the yard without even looking at the next scene.
Seeing the woman leaving, Gu Qian wanted to say something to persuade her to stay, but he didn't know what he thought of, and in the end he didn't say anything to persuade her to stay.
Just like last night.
At this moment, Ye Zhen was too lazy to care about their affairs, and all his attention was focused on the big red coffin.
As Gu Qian had people put the fruits on the table and put in a note of red incense, the coffin began to look strange, with a coldness constantly coming out of the coffin.
A strange feeling began to appear in the yard.
Feeling the coldness in the air, Gu Qian sighed, picked up the paper wedding dresses and lit them on two blood-red dragon and phoenix candles.
The next moment, a strange scene appeared. The originally light red candle suddenly turned dark green, and the green flame quickly clung to the paper wedding dresses.
The fragrance in the yard became stronger, and Ye Zhen frowned. He stared at the ordinary black and white portrait with some doubts.
The woman in the portrait just now seemed to have moved her eyes.
Lin Qian, who was on top of the courtyard wall, was staring at the woman in the portrait, her expression full of gloom.
"He Yuelian..."
