From Jiu Shu's world

Chapter 6 Preparation
It was already evening when Henry Zhang and Qiusheng returned to Yizhuang, just in time for dinner.

Seeing that the two returned empty-handed, Uncle Jiu thought it was because he hadn't found a suitable house for a while, so he greeted them for dinner, and said: "Ah Xuan, come to eat first, but I didn't find a suitable house. I'll let Qiusheng come tomorrow." Help you find it."

Henry Zhang nodded with a smile, and did not explain. He and Qiu Sheng had been busy for a day, and they hadn’t had a drop of water.Uncle Jiu simply asked him and Qiu Sheng to eat first, and the four of them sat down and had dinner.

After dinner, Henry Zhang called Uncle Jiu to talk about what happened in Ren’s old house today.

Uncle Jiu pondered for a while, and said: "You did a good job in this matter, but it's not easy to arrange this open marriage. As for asking names, Najib, Nazheng, and welcoming the bride, every step is indispensable, if it is a big deal, you must put your full attention on it, and invite the Yin God to watch the ceremony, you must be well prepared."

Henry Zhang listened for a moment, and couldn't help but said: "If it's a big deal, Aunt Li is alone, I'm afraid she has to empty out her cloth village to do this, wouldn't it be hard for strangers?"

Henry Zhang thought it was a simple arrangement for a clear marriage, and the most important thing was to invite a heavenly marriage to help them continue their marriage for the next life. Unexpectedly, Uncle Jiu actually talked about the high-standard arrangement of a clear marriage.

Uncle Jiu heard this, and snorted: "How do you know that people can't afford it? Think about the name of that old house? Their family is the eldest son of the Ren family, and they are relatives with Ren Fa. If you are willing to communicate, now that you have encountered this situation, will Ren Fa help you?"

Henry Zhang was a little stunned, he didn’t expect that Aunt Li’s family was actually a relative of Ren Fa in Mr. Zombie, what a coincidence.

Uncle Jiu paused for a moment, and then said: "Apart from the open marriage, what else do you want to prepare? According to your character, it can be seen that the two of you should not rush into an open marriage and then separate bitterly."

Henry Zhang was stared at by Uncle Jiu's weird eyes, touched his nose, and said with a smile: "I plan to ask them for a heavenly marriage."

Uncle Jiu stared, and said: "A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and dares to ask for a heavenly marriage? Do you know how many psychic mediums in ancient times invited people for heavenly marriages? Aren't there people inside and out?"

The psychic medium that Uncle Jiu mentioned does not refer to psychic witches, but those matchmakers who practice Taoism. When Yang people get married, they ask God to send blessings, ask the old man to make a marriage, and when Yin people get married, they are even more arranged.

A psychic guides people in their life as a red thread, and the blessings they send, even if they are married, are mostly corpses. They post name cards in the underworld and ask about the situation. marriage.Doing this way, she didn't know whether the marriage was based on love, but He He Mei Mei was real, and the psychic had accumulated merits because of it.

As for Uncle Jiu and Henry Zhang’s asking for a marriage, it has something to do with this.

Invite Heavenly Marriage, its full name should be called Invite Heaven to Witness Marriage, to let heaven and gods witness the couple's marriage and send down blessings.If it's just a blessing, then it's nothing, but the first condition for a successful heavenly marriage is not to have a psychic to send the marriage letter to heaven and earth, but for a couple to truly love each other.

Couples who love each other, get married in heaven, the blessings that come down are not only happiness in this life, but also turn into a red thread and wrap around each other's hands, and there will be a chance to continue the relationship in the next life.

If it doesn't work, then it's cheating the sky.The psychic medium was the first to bear the brunt, not to mention the loss of this merit, but also to bear the backlash of heaven and earth, and the cultivation base was damaged.

People's hearts are changeable, how many people enter marriage, can it be guaranteed that it is because of love?Even if it is happiness, is it really love?

No one can guarantee it, let alone a marriage that was ordered by parents in ancient times and said by matchmakers.It is also for this reason that in ancient times, psychic mediums often failed to ask for marriages for new couples. Those couples were also afraid that they would not be able to ask for marriages. married.

In the end, it gradually became a prayer to heaven and earth, thanking heaven and earth for their care, instead of asking heaven to witness the marriage.This ceremony has gradually been forgotten.

The origin of the heavenly marriage flashed through Henry Zhang's mind, and then he couldn't help but shook his head and said to Uncle Jiu with a smile: "Uncle Shi, if neither of them is out of love, I don't think I can believe this word anymore."

Uncle Jiu stared at Henry Zhang for a long time, and sighed: "Since you believe it, then help them ask Tianyan to continue their marriage. If Tianyan is successful, it will be good for you."

Uncle Jiu sighed again while speaking, and said: "I just hope that their continued marriage will not become a bad relationship under Meng Po's soup. Okay, rest, I'll send a spiritual message for your Aunt Cane to help .”

A heavenly marriage is invited, and it will continue in the next life, but no one knows what will happen to the two who have lost their memory.

Qiusheng and Wencai's eyes widened when they heard Uncle Jiu asking Aunt Cane to come over.He underestimated in a low voice: "Do you think that Master is going to accept Master Aunt?"

Qiu Sheng patted Wen Cai on the head, and said with a sinister smile: "Stupid, of course it is, otherwise why call my aunt to come over to help, it's just a clear marriage, and the master can handle a few things casually, and the master can handle it by himself. Gu came here to help, so I took the opportunity to start, hehehe."

When Uncle Jiu heard them muttering in low voices, his face turned black and straight, his beards trembled angrily, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take care of it casually, right? I'll take the opportunity to do it, right?"

While talking, Uncle Jiu picked up the rattan whip and greeted the two brothers and sisters.

"Oh, it hurts, Master hurts" "Don't hit me, Master, it's all Qiu Sheng's fault, it's none of my business, Master"

The two brothers and sisters ran out of the hall while shouting, Uncle Jiu didn't go after him, he threw the cane whip on Qiu Sheng, and said: "Hurry up and make some paper figurines of boys and girls, trumpet, suona and bearer Huh, if you don't ask Aunt Cane to help, you will drop paper jewelry? Paper wedding dress?"

"Yes, Master."

The next morning, in Jiushu Yizhuang, Aunt Li and Ren Fa came to the Yizhuang early in the morning to discuss custom-made paper figurines, paper horses and other things that will be used for the wedding.

In the lobby of Yizhuang, Aunt Li handed over a small bag of silver dollars, and said: "Lin Daochang, you need to worry about the things used for the wedding this time, and it can be regarded as fulfilling the wishes of the two children. Thanks to Zhang The little master found out about this and promised to help with it, otherwise my old lady will regret it for the rest of her life."

Ren Fa at the side also said: "Brother Zhang is worthy of being a master of Maoshan, otherwise my poor nephew and nephew's wife would have to leave regretfully."

Uncle Jiu took the money bag, weighed it slightly, and realized that the amount was too much. Normally, Uncle Jiu only took three or five yuan to check Feng Shui once, but now the necessities for a bright wedding are only about two or thirty yuan. In this bag There are at least fifty of them.

Uncle Jiu is also an old Jianghu, so he changed his mind. He heard Aunt Li mentioned that Zhang Xuan had a Ming marriage, and Ren Fa also pointed out this matter. He knew that the two of them did not know the skills of their nephew, so they came to find out. , Let yourself insure yourself.So Uncle Jiu nodded and said: "You two don't have to worry, Ah Xuan is one of the most outstanding disciples of the 66th generation of my Maoshan. My junior sister is here to help, so don’t worry.”

When the two of them heard this, they knew that Uncle Jiu had given him a guarantee, so they nodded quickly: "Then please trouble Uncle Jiu and the little master. Is it just the date of marriage?"

Henry Zhang was not dissatisfied when he saw the two of them looking like this. Although the two came to let Uncle Jiu guarantee the bottom line, they couldn't find any problems in their actions. It's just that there are so many funeral shops in the town. Uncle ordered, even if it is reciprocated.Not to mention, they are also thinking about their loved ones.

Therefore, Henry Zhang also said with a smile: "Don't worry about Aunt Li. There will be no problem with the help of my uncle in the Ming Dynasty. As for the date of marriage, you will give me the birthdays of Xiuniang and Ren Nianen. I will count it as a suitable day." , I will send someone to tell you tomorrow. As for the two of you, although you said that most of the weddings are given to the couple with paper, you should also prepare some three animals and one hundred shares to entertain the ghosts and gods."

Aunt Li and Ren Fa did not blame Henry when they saw Henry, they were faintly relieved, nodded in agreement, and took out two notes from their sleeves and handed them to Henry.

Ren Fa continued to ask: "Little brother, we Yang people, do we have to do anything to prepare for the banquet?"

Henry Zhang shook his head: "You don't need to make more preparations. After all, it's not easy to show off when you are married. You blood relatives can just come to the banquet. When the time comes, sit at the same table with Master Uncle and us, and listen to our orders."

Ming wedding feasts are not limited to people, ghosts, wandering spirits, and even small gods like the land, kitchen gods, fish and dragons are mixed together, and there are too many strangers. If they can’t take care of them and are taken as dowry, it’s not beautiful up.

Seeing Henry Zhang shaking his head, Ren Fa didn't say much, and he understood in his heart that something miraculous would definitely happen that night, and he was afraid that it would be very different from the so-called bright marriage on weekdays, so he didn't ask too much.

The four of them sat in the lobby for a long time, refilling the tea several times, and finally discussed everything thoroughly.

It's just that Uncle Jiu's eyes were sharp. Seeing Aunt Li who was sitting across from her hesitated to speak several times, he asked aloud: "This is roughly the case for the Ming marriage. I don't know what else you want?"

Aunt Li knew that he was asking herself, so she stopped hesitating and said, "Hey, there is one more thing I want to trouble the young master."

Henry Zhang asked: "What's the matter?"

"I wonder if little master still has the talisman water from yesterday?"

When Henry Zhang heard it, he immediately understood that Aunt Li wanted to soak the talisman water practiced by Liu Ye with Niu's tears, and went to see Ren Nianen and Xiuniang.It's no wonder that both of them are just lonely ghosts, and they still lack a bit of morality if they want to show themselves in front of people, let alone Ren Nianen's soul is unstable.It’s just that Aunt Li’s request made Henry Zhang a little embarrassed.

"Auntie, I know you want to see Nian'en and Xiuniang more in the next few days, but do you know that ghosts are ominous things that bring together disasters and disasters? All major illnesses are mild."

When Aunt Li heard this, her eyes turned red, she sighed, and said, "I don't know how long I can stay with this old bone. I'm afraid it will be the last time I see Nian En in this life. Don't say it's sick, even It's fate, and I will risk it for a few days."

When Ren Fa heard this, he said anxiously: "Second sister-in-law, you can't let it go."

Henry Zhang looked at Uncle Jiu, saw that he was also frowning, and nodded to himself.So he sighed: "Okay, you take this bottle of talisman water, and you know how to use it. You also take these three lock-yang talismans, and stick them on your body when you meet. You can meet, but don't touch. In this way, their yin energy will not hurt you, and the cynomorium will not hurt them. Every time you go home, you have to go over the brazier and wash the grapefruit leaves, so that you will suffer from a minor illness at most."

Aunt Li was overjoyed when she heard the words, took the Fushui and Suoyang Talisman, and thanked her quickly.

When Ren Fa saw it, he could only sigh and dared not persuade him any more.
