Chapter seven hundred and eighty third: ghost marriage
Uncle Jiu and Father Xu, who were drinking tea and chatting in the yard, heard Xu Dongsheng's voice and immediately stood up and walked towards the door. Lin Tianqi also put down the hatchet in his hand, got up and followed him out.
The person who came to the door was an old man who looked to be in his fifties. He was dressed like a housekeeper of a rich and powerful family. He was followed by four broad and fat entourage.
"Master Lin." Seeing Uncle Jiu come out, the old man immediately put on a smile that looked like he was asking for help, and bowed his hand to Uncle Jiu, appearing very polite and courteous.
"Steward Zhou." Uncle Jiu nodded slightly when he heard this, and called the other party politely, and then said: "If Steward Zhou still cares about yesterday's matter, please come back."
"Uh." Butler Zhou's expression immediately froze, and then he forced a smile and said, "Why is Master Lin so decisive? My master said that if Master Lin is willing to take action, he will be rewarded heavily."
"This is not a matter of money." Uncle Jiu waved his hand when he heard this and said: "Butler Zhou, please come back. There is no need to come again. Let me tell your master that I will not take this matter. Please ask Gao Ming.
.”
"Tianqi, Dongsheng, you two brothers will help me see off Butler Zhou." After saying that, Uncle Jiu turned to Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng, and then went back to the house with Father Xu without looking back.
.
Butler Zhou stood there with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face, looking at Uncle Jiu's back as he turned around and entered the room, his expression flickering but he hesitated to speak, while Lin Tianqi still didn't know what was going on.
"Steward Zhou, my master has already said that he won't accept this matter. You should go back and hire someone else. Don't send him off until you leave." Xu Dongsheng said with a smile again.
Things didn't work out. Butler Zhou was obviously not in a good mood and his face looked a little stiff. However, he didn't immediately make a bad face or fall out with Lin Tianqi and his two brothers. He barely smiled when he heard Xu Dongsheng's words.
The two senior brothers bowed their hands politely, as if a business deal cannot be done without mercy, and then they got into the carriage with their four followers and drove away with a bang.
Seeing Butler Zhou and his entourage leave, the two brothers also closed the door. Lin Tianqi also asked Xu Dongsheng about the specific matter. From the beginning to now, he still didn't know what the specific matter was, but judging from the situation, it was obvious that the other party seemed to want
I asked my master for help, and he seemed very sincere. I came twice in a row, but my master didn’t agree——
"It's a ghost marriage." Xu Dongsheng said and told Lin Tianqi: "I don't know the specific situation. I just heard from the master that the other party came here to ask for help from the master to do a ghost marriage."
"Dark marriage." Lin Tianqi's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he suddenly understood why his master didn't answer.
Ghost marriage is also called ghost marriage, and there are two forms. One is the marriage between the dead and the dead, and the other is the marriage between the dead and the living. The former is okay, although the marriage between the dead still makes people feel a bit scary, but in the end
At least they are all dead people; what is really scary and even unfair is often the marriage between the dead and the living. Just imagine how unfair it is to the living to let a living person marry a dead person.
He just didn't know whether this ghost marriage was between a dead person and a dead person or a dead person and a living person, but Lin Tianqi guessed that it was probably a ghost marriage between a dead person and a living person, otherwise his master would not be so decisive.
Because ghost marriage, if it is just between dead people and dead people, is a little scary, but it will not violate morality. As long as it is not something that violates morality, with the character of my master, even if he is not willing, he will not be so decisive.
My master would be disgusted by the underworld marriage between the dead and the living, because the underworld marriage between the dead and the living often contains some things that are against morality.
After all, under normal circumstances, there is a living person who is willing to marry a dead person. If you think about it for a moment, you will know that there must be some force and coercion.
The facts were indeed as Lin Tianqi guessed. When he saw Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng coming in, Uncle Jiu said -
"Those people just now belong to the Sun family, the landlord of Sanhe Town. The leader is Zhou Fu, the housekeeper of the Sun family. Sun Shoucheng's only son, Sun Miao, died of illness some time ago. Because Sun Miao was not married yet, Sun Shoucheng was heartbroken.
I couldn't bear to have my only son be alone until he died without getting married, so he spent money to buy a girl who had not left the court, and planned to give his son a secret marriage..."
Spend money on it!
After hearing this, Lin Tianqi, Xu's father and Xu Dongsheng all understood.
In this era, although the government has officially banned human trafficking, in fact it is just a verbal order. The government itself is a bit unstable, so how can it care about this? Therefore, although the human trafficking is banned on the surface, in private, the population
There is still a lot of buying and selling, especially in the houses of some wealthy landlords, many maids or concubines are bought with money.
Moreover, most families in this era have a mentality of male superiority and female inferiority, and most of them hold the idea that married daughters will throw away water. In addition, life is difficult, so it is not unusual for many families to sell their daughters.
, even Fengshui Town looks relatively stable on the surface, but there are a lot of things like this, at least the wives of many bachelors in the town buy them.
Even if there are such things as human traffickers in the 21st century, let alone this era.
Many people in later generations always dream about how great it would be if they traveled back in time to the Republic of China or ancient times. In particular, many literary and artistic young people who consider themselves romantic think that the Republic of China was a particularly romantic era, and the sparks of collisions of various ideas are always
Thinking about how great it would be if he traveled back to this era, Lin Tianqi could only say that he was overthinking it!
The sentence written by Mr. Lu Xun describes this era very well - this is the era of individual cannibalism!
If you don't have the ability to protect yourself and are just ordinary people, in this era, you will know what purgatory on earth is.
Even though Lin Tianqi is living a prosperous life now, this is all based on his strong strength.
In the peaceful era of the 21st century, under the protection of the great motherland, even if you have no strength to be an ordinary person, as long as your limbs are sound and you are not too lazy to work, you can support yourself and live a nourishing life, and even have good luck.
It would be more satisfying to be a second-generation demolition or something like that, but if you don’t have the strength to be an ordinary person in this era, you will doubt your life.
Some beautiful things are actually people's own utopia. They imagine it to be too good, but in fact it is not the case. It is like some people in later generations who always think that foreign countries are many, many good, and that the moon in foreign countries is too beautiful.
It's rounder, but is it really so? If you go there, you will know that it is dangerous to go out alone on the street at night, and you might even disappear suddenly.
"Okay, don't talk about this anymore. We are responsible for our own affairs. These are not ours to take care of. You senior brothers should go to the kitchen to help."
There was a slight silence in the atmosphere, and then Uncle Jiu spoke again, not wanting to talk more about this issue.
"That's right, that's right, your own family takes care of their own affairs. These days, just live well in your own family."
Xu's father also followed suit and said, like Uncle Jiu, he didn't want to talk too much about this kind of thing and ruin the atmosphere.
Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng nodded immediately and walked towards the kitchen.
The two senior brothers had no intention of talking about this kind of thing.
In this era, there are so many unfair things. Who can take care of it? Lin Tianqi thinks he can’t take care of it anyway, and he has never had any great sentiments to save people in distress. When it comes to his own affairs, Lin Tianqi is an egoist.
Regarding other matters that have nothing to do with him, Lin Tianqi is a Buddhist and just goes with the flow.
Maybe sometimes I feel compassion, who knows?!
Human nature is a very complicated thing. Lin Tianqi sometimes feels that he doesn’t understand himself very well. Let’s take the simplest example.
When he just got his driver's license and became a driver in his previous life, he liked the Caribbean at first, but then he felt that Ippondo seemed to be more beautiful. Later, he felt that European and American blockbusters were too heavy on the taste, and it was difficult to watch them. He also felt that anime was too fake and looked too fake.
It was tasteless, but then, one day, he suddenly discovered that he actually liked watching European and American blockbusters and anime.
For another example, after becoming an experienced driver, he liked super aggressive things, but later found that airports also had a different flavor. Then, after watching too many airports, he liked super aggressive things again.
So, human nature is complex and fickle. Sometimes I don’t even know myself, which one I like, and I don’t know whether sex is popular in this era. The familiar melody seems to still be in my mind.
echo.
At sunset, the sun had already set on the mountain in the west, and the food was ready. The seven members of the family began to eat under the big tree in the kitchen yard. The atmosphere was harmonious and enjoyable. However, as they ate, Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie became a little bit confused.
I'm sorry, because the whole dinner slowly turned into a birthing conference.
Xu Jie and Lin Tianqi have been married for four or five months. In this era, there are no contraceptive measures. Basically, under normal circumstances, children will be born soon after getting married. However, Lin Tianqi and Xu Jie have been married for four or five months. Xu Jie’s belly is still
There was no movement, and Xu's mother was anxious. Especially when she saw that Tian Rong, who was getting married later, had a big belly, Xu's mother was even more anxious.
Mother Xu not only wants to hold her grandson or granddaughter, she also wants to hold her grandson!
Therefore, the dinner was normal at first, but it slowly turned sour. At first, it was just Mrs. Xu's insinuating remarks, but later on, Father Xu and Uncle Jiu joined in to help.
Two words - birth!
Xu's mother even asked with concern if she had any physical problems and if she wanted to get checked out and take some medicine.
Lin Tianqi felt that his scalp was numb, but at the same time, he also had some doubts in his heart.
