You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 180 They are lucky

"Why are you wearing red? After the young lady's sedan chair went out, the old woman went to the temple to stay for a while."

"Ah, this lady got married in such a hurry, why?"

Shi Zelan listened attentively. Shi Xiaoliu drew twice on the table with his hand. Shi Zelan thought about it and gave him a thumbs up.

"Why else?

If she doesn't get married quickly, her father and mother will marry her to an older man. "

"how do you know?"

"It's not how I know, but the girl next to this young lady said it.

Now that a young man is willing to marry her regardless of her reputation, and the old lady can protect her, she will naturally get married. "

"Is there only one young lady of marriageable age in this family?"

"No, there are several ladies, but this one is the least favored.

Others heard that the marriage has been decided and they will get married soon. "

The guest's voice gradually became quieter: "Don't you think that their family has been very strange recently, so naturally they can get married as soon as possible."

Shi Xiaoliu asked Shi Zelan and Xia Yu in a low voice: "Do you still want to sit for a while?"

Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu: "Sit for a while longer?"

Xia Yu nodded quickly and said, "Let's drink tea. Their fruit tea is very sweet."

But the guests sitting in the tea house mentioned other things, such as the weather this year being colder than in previous years, and snow covering several courtyards.

There is a courtyard to the east that is not very peaceful at night, but the renters have recently stayed at the homes of relatives and friends.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan looked at Xia Yu at the same time. He frowned and whispered, "Let's talk about it when we go back tonight."

After a while, the three of them left the teahouse, and Shi Zelan took a deep breath: "Uncles are indeed more knowledgeable than aunts. They can guess everything about other people's families."

"Do you think they guessed correctly?" Xia Yu looked at Shi Zelan curiously.

"I think they are inseparable. This family is not having a hard time. They are anxious to take care of their children's affairs. I can only say that the situation of the elderly in the family is worrying."

"The old woman was in good condition last time we saw her. She looked like she might live another year or two."

After Shi Xiaoliu finished speaking, he suddenly remembered what brother Qi Yuan said, and continued: "The old woman was weak before. No wonder her children and grandchildren have to make early plans for their children's marriage."

After they returned, Brother Qiyuan was not in the yard either. Master Decheng said to Xia Yu: "The yard you rented earlier was very noisy at night. Your father and uncle should go and take a look."

After hearing what Master Decheng said, Xia Yu nodded and said, "Then I'll go over and take a look at the situation."

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan immediately expressed their intention to accompany him there. After Xia Yu saw that Master Decheng had no objection, the three of them hurriedly walked to the entrance of the yard.

When Xia Yu and his group walked to the Dongcheng courtyard, they happened to encounter the landlord coming out with two men whose faces were swollen.

Xia Yu and Shi Xiaoliu, brothers and sisters, stepped aside and saw brother Qi Yuan each carrying a baggage out of the courtyard.

After they came out, the landlord closed the courtyard door with a very unhappy expression: "Unfortunately, if you don't want to continue living here, you should have told me earlier."

The Qiyuan brothers had nothing to say to the landlord. A few days ago, they came to the landlord to talk about canceling the rent, saying that the rent for that month did not need to be refunded. The landlord said at the time that he could not find a suitable tenant at the moment and asked his brother to compensate him with more money.

Brother Qi Yuan, who was not short of money, immediately said that he was not in a hurry to check out.

The landlord walked away cursing, and the two swollen-faced men looked at Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan fiercely. They then said to Xia Yu: "Little brother of the Xia family, when are you going to take your friend to Dongcheng for a walk? "

"Why, let's come to Dongcheng for a walk. After you see us, what do you dare to do to us?"

Shi Zelan was so angry at the looks in the eyes of those two people that he directly attacked them.

She looked at the two people with a nonchalant look on her face, and Shi Xiaoliu also sneered and said, "Are we the ones you can provoke?"

Brother Qiyuan exchanged glances and said to the three of them: "Let's go. Don't bother with unlucky people like them when you have time."

After they left, two men with swollen faces said angrily: "The old one can't take care of him, so we can't take care of the younger one?"

After they returned to the yard, Brother Qiyuan told what the two people had done. Brother Shi Xiaoliu and Xia Yu were stunned.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were no longer surprised. Master Decheng sighed: "These two people just don't have enough brains. If they want to buy other people's yards cheaply, they shouldn't blatantly go into other people's yards and burn paper money."

"Is this homeowner going to let them go this time?"

"Originally, they were going to be sent to the government, but the village chief came to intercede for them and fined them to clean the streets for three months. For the sake of the village chief, the landlord had no choice but to let them go this time."

They all thought they had nothing to do with the people and things in Dongcheng, but on the third day, people from the government came looking for them.

The two men died on the street in the morning, and the officials came to ask them about their situation.

Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan said that neighbors testified that no one in their yard had left the yard since they came back from going out the day before yesterday.

The people from the government naturally went to ask the neighbors on both sides. It happened that Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan liked to stand outside the yard door and talk to the neighbors.

Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng fell in love with chess these past two days. They sat in the yard and played chess.

Brother Qiyuan felt a little bored and would sit aside and watch them play chess.

Xia Yu was sitting under the eaves reading a book. When the neighbors passed by the door of the yard, as long as they took a look into the yard, they could see what they were doing.

Neighbors also said that Decheng Zhenren and his friends liked to go out and play, but it was rare that they did not go out these two days.

After the government officials left, Master Decheng and Master Shanzheng were very happy that they never hindered Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan from having friendly interactions with their neighbors.

Master Qiyuan and Master Qicheng felt that Master Decheng was really scheming and far-sighted and had planned many things.

Xia Yu said to Shi Xiaoliu and Shi Zelan: "These two people must have offended many people."

Shi Xiaoliu sighed: "Fortunately you moved here."

Shi Zelan suggested to Xia Yu: "When you travel outside in the future, you should still live in a busy place.

Families with many high-ranking officials and nobles are likely to have a lot of right and wrong. If they deliberately plot against outsiders, it will be really difficult to guard against them. "

Brother Qi Yuan did not expect that once they came to the capital, they would encounter one trouble after another.

Master Qiyuan said to Master Qicheng: "We are not looking for another place to live. We have discussed with Decheng and the others. If they have a vacant room here, we will pay half of the rent."

Master Qicheng nodded repeatedly: "Brother, I think they are very lucky in this regard."
