A Feng Shui Master's Guide to Cultivating Immortals
Chapter 20 Immortal Antiques
In the eyes of the neighbors, Chen Xiao had no parents, so her daughter could be the master of the house without being angry with her mother-in-law.There is another decent job, and it is said that the wages are not bad.He is also capable. He can buy a complete set of furniture by himself, which shows that his family is not bad.
Aunt Huang saw that Chen Xiao went out early and returned late every day, and she couldn't come to the door after dark, so she could only wait for Chen Xiao's next rest.
It's not that Chen Ling doesn't know how many elderly aunts and uncles wake up every morning on this street and look at him like a son-in-law.He doesn't think it's because of his own charm, he just feels deeply pained.
Once again, Aunt Huang came to the door early in the morning.Chen Ling knew she was coming, so she deliberately didn't sleep in, for fear of being trapped under the covers.Otherwise, being seen by Aunt Huang is another good starting point for persuading marriage.
This time Chen Ling boiled the water in advance, and after Aunt Huang sat down for a while, hot tea was brought to her.
Aunt Huang brought it over, lifted the lid of the tea and smelled it, she knew it was good tea.The tea was too hot to drink yet, so she put the teacup by her hand, straightened her sitting posture, and started talking to Chen Xiao.
"Xiaohan, how are you thinking?" Aunt Huang asked affectionately.
In fact, if Chen Xiao had to speak for himself, he preferred others to call him by his first name. "Chen Xiao" was called together by first name and surname, and he didn't care about the obvious closeness.
However, Aunt Huang once met her in a restaurant where she often eats—she was going to buy stewed vegetables, and when she heard a familiar boss call him that, she just learned it.
The same goes for Treadxue Xunxian Pavilion.His name was changed on the name plate, even though he had reiterated to the people in the store that he would be called by his name in the future.But neither the master shopkeeper nor the guys changed their words.It's not a formal occasion, everyone came here with mixed names.If he deliberately forced it, he would appear too individual.
Chen Ling had no choice but to accept that the nickname Xiaohan was stuck on his head and he couldn't get it off.Xiaohan is just Xiaohan, at least to distinguish it from Hanwazi, and it can also be regarded as a nickname for him.
In the past ten days, Chen Xiao has not been idle, and has long thought of a countermeasure.He would definitely not accept Aunt Huang's suggestion to see a strange girl and get married here.
It's just that Aunt Huang has good intentions.It's not easy for him to refuse directly. One is that he is too disrespectful to the other party, which will make the relationship stiff.After all, he will live here for a few months, and he doesn't want to deal with unplanned things.
The other one, Chen Xiao has been working hard to make herself look more like a native of this world.For such a young man, he refused to say goodbye without a proper reason.It just makes people think he is too weird and abnormal.Being different from ordinary people, and going against Chen Xiao's current way of life.
Although Chen Xiao's voice was not loud, it was very clear in this room.He said: "Aunt Huang, thank you for your kindness. It's just that I don't have the heart to think about it now."
Seeing that he was finally no longer silent to the end like last time, Aunt Huang immediately lifted her spirits.Only when you are willing to answer the conversation will you have a chance to persuade the other party.She said: "How can you not think about it? Life is a big thing, and we must make plans early. Aunt Huang is kind, don't blame me for talking too much. At your age, you have already married your wife into the house if you are anxious. What The girls and boys in the family don’t look good when they are eleven or twelve years old, and they get engaged when they are thirteen or fourteen. Your parents are gone, so you have to go through some snacks.”
Chen Xiao nodded: "I know Aunt Huang has good intentions, but I can't lie to other girls."
Aunt Huang was stunned after hearing this, and couldn't help showing a confused expression: "How did you say that?"
With a particularly sincere expression, Chen Xiao uttered the nonsense that she had made up before: "Actually, when I was young, my family made an appointment for me."
"Ah?" Aunt Huang looked at him with astonished eyes on her chubby face, "You were engaged? Why didn't you tell me before?"
At this time, Aunt Huang was actually a little annoyed in her heart.Whoever kindly helped Zhang Luo and dealt with people who came to the door one after another, in the end, all this was completely in vain, and he would not be happy in his heart.If Chen Ling had just said that he was engaged to get married during that rotation ten days ago, Aunt Huang would not have spent that effort at all.
She was unhappy in her heart, and it showed on her face, and her tone became bad.Chen Xiao acted as if she hadn't seen it, and lowered her eyes to show a sad expression: "Before, there was a disaster in my hometown, and half the people in the county escaped. On the way, there was a continuous heavy rain, and my parents were infected one after another. Fenghan, that's it. The whole family's money is added up, and they can't even afford a coffin. I can only find two straw mats, bury them in a hurry, and continue walking with my uncle's family." These pasts are the last time I returned Fancun, his aunt told him.
Chen Xiao looked very sad, and Aunt Huang couldn't get angry anymore.She sighed: "You are also a miserable person. Fortunately, you are capable now, and your parents are alive. You will be very relieved to know."
Chen Xiao sighed softly, if they were really alive, they must have been reunited as a family.As for being happy or sad, that's really hard to say.
Aunt Huang asked, "Then what happened to your marriage?"
Chen Xiao said softly: "I got lost on the way, and I haven't heard from him until now. I've been looking for it all these years."
"So that's how it is." Aunt Huang said with a complicated mood.She guessed that Chen Xiao didn't say anything last time, probably because he didn't want to mention the sad things before.
The talk of marriage was finally stopped under Chen Xiao's insistence on finding the girl who was betrothed, and not getting married if she couldn't find any news.He said that in life one must see people, in death one must see corpses.After confirming the other party's current situation, we can plan for ourselves.If he got married here, and the girl over there has been waiting, wouldn't he have delayed the other party.
The grandpas and aunts who knew about this all praised Chen Xiao as a man of noble character and affection.
Regarding this development, Chen Xiao only felt that he was too witty.With this unnecessary shield, no one will have any doubts about his singleness.When he leaves in the future, the reasons are ready-made.
After successfully solving the trouble of talking about marriage, Chen Xiao ushered in something that made him feel happy the next day.
The big shopkeeper went out to collect things with his owner, and brought back a very simple and dignified copper tripod.This bronze tripod has complex and gorgeous decorations, the patina is perfect, and the preservation is relatively good. Except for a few small scratches, there is almost no damage.
The big shopkeeper and the owner agreed that this copper tripod was very worthwhile and could be sold at a very good price.
Chen Xiao was not happy about it for anything else, but because of the stable aura on this bronze tripod, it was obviously a real fairy antique.And this, apart from him, no one else discovered it.
Aunt Huang saw that Chen Xiao went out early and returned late every day, and she couldn't come to the door after dark, so she could only wait for Chen Xiao's next rest.
