Little Twins and Little Healer

Taojia Village is a small village at the foot of Qingmen Mountain.

The village is backed by mountains, and there is only a road leading to the outside at the east end of the village.

At this time, the sun has already set in the west.

Although it is midsummer, after noon, the sun is not so vicious.

Under the old locust tree at the east end of the village, some women sat in twos and threes.

Most of the women were holding sewing baskets, and while they were talking about their family affairs, they sewed two stitches on the clothes in their hands.

Suddenly a woman said loudly: "Do you know why the Qingmen Mountain next to our village is called this name?"

The rest were taken aback.

These people, either came from Taojia Village, or married from the nearby village, and their ancestors have lived at the foot of Qingmen Mountain for generations.The old people have told them since childhood that this mountain is called Qingmen Mountain, isn’t it just a name, why else?

An elderly woman with shoe soles said: "Since I was a child, this mountain has been called Qingmen Mountain. You were not there at that time! What do you know? Da Niu's daughter-in-law, at that time, your Da Niu Dad, you're still running around the village naked!"

"Hahaha..." A group of people laughed.

Hmph... At that time, didn't you also run around the village!Da Niu's daughter-in-law, that is, Li Xinghua thought.

But she dared not say it.Although he was dissatisfied with the old woman's prostitution, the other party was Daniu's third aunt after all.

What's more, today, she is the one who wants to show off.She only knew about the origin of Qingmen Mountain after hearing about it from her eldest son yesterday, these ignorant village women must not know about it.

……

"Third Aunt, I heard what my Shanzi said, and the master taught it in the school! The school where my Shanzi studies is the best Qingmen School in the county. The masters there are all masters!" Li Xinghua said triumphantly.

"Shanzi is promising!"

"That child has been smart since he was a child, and we can't find such a smart child in Taojia Village."

"What Master Juren said, it must be right."

Several women gathered around and began to compliment Li Xinghua in one voice.

Li Xinghua glanced at Third Aunt before she started talking again. "Our Shanzi said that Qingmen Mountain had no name at first, but because the mountain is green, people called it Qingshan."

"Which mountain is not green?" Someone interrupted.

Li Xinghua ignored her and continued: "In the previous dynasty, this mountain was always called Qingshan. In the summer of the last year of the previous dynasty. One night, there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder. It was a thunderstorm that was rare in a hundred years. Ah. The old people say this is a vision from heaven." Li Xinghua made a solemn expression,

"Suddenly, a huge bolt of lightning struck down. It struck right on the green mountain. Look," Li Xinghua pointed at the mountain not far away.

"That valley was created by lightning. With this valley, there is this river outside our village."

"How could lightning create such a large valley?" Someone disagreed.

"This lightning is not ordinary lightning, it's a god descending into the world!" Li Xinghua gestured with emotion.

"It is said that after the lightning struck, it did not disappear, but turned into a huge ball of white light. This ball of white light is a door, a door from the fairy world to the mortal world. General Lei Ting came out of this door. Qing The name Menshan was also given by General Lei Ting."

"General Lei Ting is a god?" Someone asked.

"Of course, our Shanzi said that General Lei Ting can make thunder and lightning fall from the sky. The generals of the previous dynasty were chopped to death by General Lei Ting. There are so many people, whoever they say can be chopped. I was so frightened that I surrendered directly. Otherwise, how could our Dajingchao fight the world so smoothly!"

Li Xinghua was frothing when she said that.

"Also, our Shanzi saw it in the history books. General Lei Ting said that he was from Qingmen Mountain. The reason why he changed Qingshan to Qingmen Mountain was because he hoped that the door to the fairy world could be opened again. His family You can also come out of the door."

"Immortals also have family members?"

"You heard Xinghua talking nonsense there. General Lei Ting didn't live to be more than a hundred years old, so he followed Emperor Jingzheng. If he was a god, how could he die?"

"That is, if General Lei Ting is an immortal, why isn't this mountain called Immortal Mountain?"

"It should be called Thunder Mountain."

Li Xinghua was upset when she heard that everyone did not approve of her words.

"This is what our family Shanzi said. It is written in the book that General Lei Ting came out of the gate. The gate of Qingmen Mountain may be opened again!"

Everyone expressed disbelief.

If there really was a gate leading to the Immortal World, Qingmen Mountain would have been enclosed by the royal family long ago, and it would be their turn to live here!

Moreover, although the descendants of General Lei Ting fought very well, they were just ordinary people.

As for General Lei Ting, who was a character 300 years ago, who knows what he looked like.

……

Outdated gossip has limited appeal, but the gossip in front of you is more exciting.

"Xinghua, isn't today your nephew's wedding day? Why hasn't the wedding reception team come yet?"

A woman wearing a silver bracelet approached and said.

Li Xinghua pouted awkwardly, not wanting to take up this topic.

"Which one is my nephew? I have many nephews. Let's just talk about me..."

"Of course it's the boss of your Lianhua sister's family, named Wen Yu. Oh, that's such an elegant name."

"It's just a twin. No matter how good the name is, what's the use? It's not about marrying off and becoming someone else's family. It's better for our family, Shanzi, to take care of me in the future." Li Xinghua said.

"I want to get married, but my brother Yu married well, the son of the magistrate's family. Tsk tsk tsk... The dowry at the time of engagement is called a ostentation, and the yard of Tao Hongzhi's house is full. If you want to talk about you Sister Lianhua, it’s really a good marriage. Tao Hongzhi is an official in the yamen, and his children are also studying in Qingmen College, and even a twin can marry the son of the magistrate’s family.”

The more Li Xinghua heard it, the more angry she became, "What kind of official is my brother-in-law? Mr. Zhifu, do you like someone from our village? You can immediately apply for a job as soon as you arrive, and you will get married immediately after the job is done. Let me tell you, there must be something tricky about this marriage."

Listening to Li Xinghua's sour words, the woman touched the silver bracelet on her arm, feeling happy.

Let you show off your son who is good at reading every day, it is amazing to be able to read.

If your sister's family marries any Shuang'er, there will be countless money.I heard that just after receiving the dowry, Tao Hongzhi and Li Lianhua went to the county town to look at the house, and they were waiting to buy the house and move to the city.

Don't you, Li Xinghua, live in the village like us?

But Tao Wenyu's marriage is indeed strange.

Tao Hongzhi was just working as a clerk in the county seat, and he didn't hear that he had anything to do with Fucheng.How come the son of the magistrate's family wants to marry his family's Shuang'er.

In the previous dynasty, Shuang'er's status was low. She could neither support the family like a man nor marry as a wife like a woman. Most of them were reduced to playthings of rich families.

After the establishment of the Dajing Dynasty, it has been working hard to improve Shuang'er's status.

But among the people, the old habits are hard to change, and there are still few people who marry Shuang Er as their regular wives, especially those from rich families.

First of all, it is difficult for twins to have children. Marrying a twin means that there is a high possibility that there will be no legitimate son.

Second, Shuang'er is different from women after all, it is very inconvenient when going out to socialize with other noble ladies.

……

Seeing that the woman didn't refute her, Li Xinghua thought she couldn't speak up to her.

He said triumphantly: "I'll just say it's tricky, look, it's already this hour, and the wedding reception team hasn't arrived yet. I'm afraid the magistrate may regret the marriage temporarily!"

The voice just fell.

I saw the only road at the entrance of the village, there was a motorcade approaching vaguely, and there seemed to be many people in a mighty manner.

As we got closer, the motorcade over there also saw the village.

It was as if the person in charge shouted something, and the sound of suona, gongs and drums sounded in the team.

"Drumming, boom, clang, clang, clang" the crackling sound came together.

The festive atmosphere also rose.

The sound of whistling and beating was getting closer, Li Xinghua's face also turned from red to blue, and then from green to white, like a palette, so exciting!

"Hahahaha..." The rest of the women couldn't hold back, they all burst out laughing.

"I heard from Hongzhi's daughter-in-law that this time was set by the magistrate. He said that the wedding was held by a wealthy family, and they always chose it at dusk, that is, when the sun is about to set."

The third aunt squeezed the soles of her shoes, and said: "Hongzhi's daughter-in-law also said that the magistrate is paying attention to our brother Yu, and he chose this time for the wedding."

While speaking, the convoy got closer.

I saw a jade-faced gentleman in a red brocade robe, riding a tall blue-gray horse, walking in the front.

Several carriages followed behind, and many servants stood guard on both sides of the carriages.

The servants were all wearing red cloth strips, beating gongs and drums, and their faces were full of joy.

The women couldn't help commenting that the magistrate was really handsome.

There are also people who say that Tao Hongzhi and Li Lianhua don't wait to see their twins on weekdays, so why did they find such a good one when they got married.

Xu knew that these women were talking about him, and when Mr. Gray Horse walked to the entrance of the village, he smiled and nodded at them.

The end is Yushu Linfeng, gentle and gentle, with the demeanor of a master.

The wedding reception team happily entered Tao's Village and went straight to Tao Hongzhi's house.

……

At this time, the Tao family also seemed to be full of joy, and the house was full of red.

A whole yard of people coming and going.

Several cousins ​​of Tao Hongzhi, including their wives and children, all came to Tao's house to help prepare the wedding banquet.

Two large earthen stoves have been set up in the yard, and two large iron pots are steaming "gurgling", and there are two big pots full of pork.

Several sisters-in-law praised Li Lianhua for her generosity in front of Tao Hongzhi and his wife.

It's just a wedding banquet to marry a couple, so I'm willing to use two whole pigs.

In fact, everyone knew that the two pigs were part of the betrothal gift from Xu's family two days ago. Li Lianhua, an iron rooster, was reluctant to spend money on such an affordable banquet.

Li Lianhua said, "It should be, it should be, after all, it's her own son, how can a mother-in-law be reluctant to part with such a thing."In fact, I was very upset.

She really wanted to ignore the dowry, but it's midsummer now, so much meat, it would be spoiled any longer, so she had to use it for the wedding banquet.

It also prevents those people in the village from always gossiping, saying that they have treated Tao Wenyu harshly.

Tao Wenyu was raised by that old man Tao Ye, and he has not been close to him since he was a child.

The masters of Putuo Temple have said that Tao Wenyu is the one who restrains his father and mother.No, it was so difficult to give birth to him back then, and he almost lost his life.

Hmph, a Shuang'er just wants to pay her Li Lianhua's life, and doesn't want to see if she is qualified enough.

Hearing the sound of blowing and blowing the suona was approaching, Li Lianhua didn't care about what was left. She quickly greeted everyone and entered the room. She still had something to tell Tao Wenyu.
