How to break into Liaozhai
Chapter 128 Witness
Frogs and toads are not the same kind of animals at all. Wang Rui hates this kind of impersonation. No wonder that toad pretends to be himself. It can be seen that his ancestors are not right.
After he pointed it out righteously, a trace of embarrassment floated in the air, everyone looked at him, and then looked away.
Obviously, except for Wang Rui, no one was concerned about this.
He Yun waved at him: "Come to my side, and I will protect you from the wind." He didn't want Wang Rui to leave his side for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Wang Rui heard this, and waved his hands with a false smile: "I'm fine here, this tree can block the wind and lean on." As he said, he leaned his shoulders on the trunk, pretending to be leisurely.
Just when He Yun was puzzled, the old lady laughed and said, "Why is it wrong for our mother to call herself a frog god? But anyone who jumps on four legs must serve our mother. Tian Xuzi, our eldest son made a mistake. Our empress already knew about it, and reprimanded the eldest son, she told this old slave, if you are willing to condescend to come to the humble house, you must apologize in person."
He Yun snorted and said, "It's the first time I've heard that an apology requires the other party to come to your door."
The old woman frowned slightly, but quickly said with a pleasant face: "I will go back and tell my mother your will. But, Tian Xuzi, can you not intervene in our marriage with the Zhao family?"
"It depends..." He Yunben wanted to say, "It depends on whether Wang Yuanwai asks me to rescue his niece." But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought that he and Wang Rui had obtained the permission of Wang Yongde and his wife, Calling Wang Yuanwai is too condescending, but calling him "father-in-law" is shameless, so he couldn't help but get tangled up, so the words got stuck on the edge of his mouth.
In fact, Wang Yongde and his wife can't say anything, after all, Xiuwen's parents are there, so they can't do it for them.
At this time, Wang Rui shouted from behind the tree: "Why should I agree to you? If He Yunyi doesn't help you, you group of toads will have magic power by becoming a spirit, but they bully the Zhao family vigorously. They don't have any The possibility of winning. The difference in strength between monsters and mortals is too great."
"Prince Wang, what you said is not pleasant to listen to, please don't interfere, Tian Xuzi, because we want to resolve this matter calmly..."
Wang Rui interrupted her: "Why, listen to what you mean, if He Yunyi helps, it will turn into a fight?"
"Prince Wang, since you have a lot to talk about, please come to me, it will be easier for us to talk, isn't it?"
As soon as the old woman said this, Wang Rui was "counseled", only showing one eye behind the tree, and stopped talking.
At this time, Uncle Zhao looked at the dowry gift, but he didn't care about so much. He stepped on the toad, walked up to the box, picked up the copper coins inside, and asked the old woman: "...Xiuwen, how are you doing now? "
"It's very good, it's at our house, don't worry, you can visit me later." The old woman said sincerely, "The eldest son is reckless, the empress has already reprimanded him, and he knows his mistake. These betrothal gifts are just For a part, if a marriage is decided, there will naturally be a bride price."
The third aunt went up to push her husband away, and said to the old woman: "We don't want these things, return my daughter."
"Woman, what do you know?!" Zhao Sanjiu said fiercely, "Since he came to propose marriage, he is showing sincerity. You don't want to do anything bad."
"Are you selling your daughter? You wanted to ration your daughter to your nephew Rui before, but now you want to sell your daughter to a monster? Inside and out, all you care about is money!"
The old woman said unhurriedly: "Our eldest son is infatuated with Miss Xiuwen, and he will never treat her badly. Although our son pretended to be a prince, he was only pretending to be a skin. If he treats Miss Xiuwen No, would she be willing to elope with our young master?"
Although during the elopement, the young master showed his true colors and frightened her into fainting.
Wang Rui found that the old woman was really eloquent, no wonder she was asked to be a lobbyist, he couldn't help but said again: "It's useless to talk nonsense, it depends on Xiuwen's attitude, if you are really sincere, you will She sends it back first, and then talks about the future, apart from this, any sincerity is empty talk."
"Nephew Rui is right, send my daughter back first, and then talk about sincerity!" The third aunt was tough.
The old woman hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I will tell you. However, please accept the dowry today as compensation for repairing the courtyard wall." After finishing speaking, the old woman muttered a few words , the toads on the ground dragged the boxes neatly and marched into the courtyard.
The third aunt just wanted to speak out, but her husband covered her mouth, and after a few whines, she had no choice but to compromise.
They will automatically avoid toads when they come to people, so there will be no toads jumping on the feet, but it is still very uncomfortable. Some servants are already frightened. Their hands are convulsed, and they cover their faces and dare not move. Moved.
He Yunyi looked at Wang Rui at this time, and found that he had already climbed the tree, holding a branch, and closed his eyes tightly.
He guessed the reason this time, came to him with a smile, and asked, "Isn't the wind strong on the tree?"
"Big, didn't you see that the blowing made me close my eyes." Wang Rui closed his eyes and pouted.
He Yun smiled lightly: "Since the wind is strong, let's go down to the ground and I will help you."
"No, I'm fine here."
"Toads can climb trees, you know that?" He Yunyi smiled in his ear.
Wang Rui was startled, when he opened his eyes and looked down, he only felt that his hands were loosened, and he was hugged by He Yunyi, and then he jumped directly into the backyard without toads.
Wang Yongde and his wife saw He Yunyi say a few words to their son who was on the tree, and then flew away holding him.
Wang Yongde still felt that it was not pleasing to the eye: "It's so decent to hug and hug in broad daylight, even a decent couple can't do this."
"I don't think there is anything, at least he is good to our son." This is Zhao's idea, even if you want to marry a wife, you have to find someone who is good to your son. Anyway, He Yunyi is satisfied with this.
People need to be good at self-discovery, Wang Yongde sighed: "I can only think so, after all, God has allowed it."
-
The old woman walked alone and walked into a stone gate built beside a mountain stream.
Although the outside is icy and snowy, the inside is full of spring, a piece of green vitality, and there is no winter scene at all.
She came to a courtyard, entered through the red-painted gate in the center, and came to a majestic pavilion.
After the notification, she was allowed to enter, lowered her head all the way, and said respectfully: "Madam, this old slave went to Zhao's house with a dowry. Miss Xiuwen's father seems to agree with this marriage, and her mother still has complaints. , asked to send Miss Xiuwen back, but it seems that the man has the final say, the dowry has already been kept, it doesn't matter if the person doesn't send it back, just wait for a few days, and then send a batch of silver over, the matter can be done. "
Behind the bead curtain, there was a shadowy voice: "What's Tian Xuzi's attitude? Are you still pestering my son about letting Wang Rui take the elixir?"
"Forgive me for being incompetent, I didn't see it, because Wang Rui kept interrupting, and the old slave didn't say a few words to Tian Xuzi. He said that if you want to apologize, you'd better come to the door in person, but I think his tone is unavoidable It's too big, don't worry about it." The old woman said: "This old slave thinks that the most urgent thing is to worry about the heavenly court sending someone down."
"Okay, I know everything, let's go down, ask Shi Niang and son-in-law Xue to persuade Zhao Xiuwen."
The old woman took the order to retreat, exited the tall building, bypassed the lake and the broken bridge, and came to a big house. She heard voices inside, knocked on the door, and walked in. She saw Zhao Xiuwen holding a pillow, watching vigilantly. looking at her, and sitting in front of her was an extremely beautiful young girl.
Sitting at a table not far away was a handsome man.
"Miss ten, my uncle, my mother wants you two to talk to Miss Xiuwen well, so that she won't be lonely here." The old woman smiled at Xiuwen: "I just came back from your house, everything is fine, your father Received the dowry."
When Xiuwen heard this, she grabbed the pillow vigorously and sobbed, "How could he do this..."
Xue Kunsheng persuaded with a smile at this time: "My father was like this back then, but it turned out that marrying the daughter of the Frog God is not bad. Now my family is rich, my wife is beautiful and virtuous, and I live a very good life. If I refused at that time Shi Niang, someone else is enjoying the blessings now. The Eldest Young Master is infatuated with you, so you should agree."
Shi Niang also echoed her husband: "Our situation is the same as yours. We are living peacefully and beautifully now. Besides, you already have my eldest brother's child in your womb. It's a done deal. You just follow him. He still values you. Why would you let us persuade you now, don't you think?"
Xiuwen was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Let me meet him."
Shi Niang, Xue Kunsheng and the old lady hurried out and invited the eldest son in.
Seeing that he still looks like his cousin, Xiuwen couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "...I don't know what you look like... Do you want to be like this forever?"
"If you like it, I will be like this for the rest of my life."
"I don't like it, I want to see your real appearance...I want to see what the child's father looks like..." She pursed her lips firmly and said, "You can't lie to me anymore..."
He scratched his cheek, very embarrassed, but felt that what Xiu Wen said made sense: "...Okay..."
Shi Niang and Xue Kunsheng, who were waiting outside the door, heard Zhao Xiuwen's cry from inside: "I don't want to look at you, you are so ugly and disgusting, get out—"
Then, I saw the Eldest Young Master walking out aggrieved while wiping tears.
He was short and fat, with a bald head, fat cheeks and eyeballs, bumpy skin, and a lot of fat accumulated on his neck.
As a toad, the species is limited, and their human form is very ugly, which is why he turned into Wang Rui.
At this time, Shi Niang pulled him aside, sighed, and said, "My silly brother, she told you to show your true colors, how could you listen to her? That's what my family always said, and I never paid attention to it." They want to say to see your true face, but in the final analysis, they still want to see your good-looking side."
"Then, what should I do now?"
"I have a solution. You go to the Raksha Demon Fair and buy a dozen or so painted skins. Use your own face on the first one, and then start from the second one, modifying it a little bit every day to make it look better. Step by step, Wait until the last one and draw a handsome scholar.
In this way, she will accept the change in your appearance. "
"It makes sense, it makes sense, I'll go right away, and Xiu Wen entrusts you to take good care of it." After he finished speaking, he turned into a puff of yellow-green smoke and flew away.
At the same time, in the Zhao family, through the reflection of a basin of water arranged by He Yunyi, the Zhao family and Wang family who saw all this also looked back.
Someone said: "They treat Xiuwen quite well."
"Good or bad are also monsters."
"Sometimes people may not be comparable to monsters."
The Zhao family was divided into two factions, each sticking to their own views and arguing endlessly. Wang Yongde and his wife also watched the battle from the sidelines, expressing their views from time to time.
Seeing this, Wang Rui pulled He Yunyi's sleeve and went out.
He Yunyi was also willing to come out with him, thinking joyfully in his heart that he still wanted to be alone with him.
The two returned to He Yunyi's room before, because Wang Rui's guest room was occupied by "Toad", he felt disgusted and did not want to step in.
After sitting down at the table, He Yunyi hugged him with one arm, and took the apple on the table with the other to give him to eat.
Wang Rui ate a few mouthfuls, but found that the other party was looking at him intently. He was inexplicable: "What's so interesting about my food?"
"You eat apples, I want to eat you." He whispered softly in his ear.
"..." Wang Rui was stunned for a moment, and put down the apple: "Then I won't eat it, and you don't want to eat me either."
He Yunyi didn't care so much, hugged him and smiled, "I don't care, I want to eat you anyway."
Thick skin was forced by Wang Rui. If he didn't take the initiative, judging by his appearance, he could spend a long time with him.
Wang Rui's heart tightened, and he used it again as an interruption skill: "Whether you want to eat me or not, now is not the time, I think you seem to have something on your mind all the time, it was when you were in the moon palace, and just now, following the old woman You look disappointed that you didn't see the true face of the Frog God behind the bead curtain, why?"
I have to say that he asked this question very well, and He Yunyi couldn't help but give up the topic of "eating" for the time being, and instead answered this: "... From all indications, this toad is from the Moon Palace, otherwise her My son also won't have the elixir to fly to the moon, but...it doesn't seem right, after all, Chang'e is in the moon palace, and you and I have seen it with our own eyes."
Wang Rui had a bad premonition: "Why, Chang'e and Toad exist separately, do they conflict?"
He Yun poked him on the forehead: "I don't know anything about this?"
Wang Rui shrugged: "I don't really know...how about you tell me?" After finishing speaking, he smiled and gave him the appearance of patting his shoulder: "Please enlighten me."
He Yunyi hugged his shoulders and made a "smug" look. After Wang Rui beat him a few times, he frowned and said, "My shoulders are not sore, so you don't need to beat them. I just have no taste in my mouth. I want to eat something..." Then, she glanced at Wang Rui.
Great, brought the topic back again, Wang Rui raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and had an idea: "It's tasteless, isn't it?" After seeing He Yun nodding, he leaned over and kissed him deeply, and then She smiled and asked, "Is it sweet?"
He Yunyi was caught off guard by his kiss, touched his lips, and said with a smile, "Hmm...it's okay...can I have dessert?"
Wang Rui shook his head, ran away after flirting, opened the door and went out into the courtyard, just as he ran out of the courtyard, he ran into He Yunyi's arms.
"Just kidding, you are not allowed to use teleportation."
He Yunyi didn't care so much, put his arms around him, raised his chin, and said with a smile: "Whoever runs first is the one who is cheating."
Just when they were about to kiss Wang Rui, Wang Yongde coughed heavily behind them.
Wang Rui was still afraid of his father in his bones, so he quickly struggled away from He Yunyi's embrace and stood upright: "...Dad."
Wang Yongde shook his head and sighed: "...someone came to you at the door and said it was from a big restaurant. You should take a look, don't worry about it again."
After hearing this, Wang Rui hurriedly took He Yunyi away, and when he reached the gate, he saw a waiter standing there with his sleeves in his hands.
Wang Rui had never seen this person before, so he stepped forward and asked, "Are you looking for Wang Rui? I am."
"Oh oh oh, you are Young Master Wang, right? Just now, we had a guest who asked us about the Zhao family nearby. He said he was looking for Master Wang Ruiwang who was visiting relatives in the Zhao family." The waiter smacked his lips and said: " After we told him, he went out, and within a quarter of an hour, he heard bursts of laughter outside, and then someone said that someone had fainted. We went out to see that it was the guest just now.
There was a puppet show near the restaurant. For some reason, he fainted from laughter. This person is in our restaurant. The boss will invite you to take a look and see if you recognize him. "
Wang Rui knew who this person was: "It's really troublesome for you." He tipped the shop waiter with a few coins, and then urged: "Take me there quickly."
He Yunyi felt troubled: "Do you know? Who is it?"
"No accident, it's a rabbit, so there should be no accident." He Yunyi had never seen this scene where the rabbit fainted from laughter, so he didn't know it was normal.
When they arrived at a place called Yuexuan Restaurant, Wang Rui and the others were taken directly to a private room on the third floor, where they saw a handsome young man in white lying against the corner, with his eyes closed, panting slightly, maybe he was sleeping. Cowed, still in a coma.
The store probably saw that he looked and dressed like he was from a wealthy family, so he helped him find friends after he passed out.
"Do you know him?" the waiter asked.
It's hard to say whether I recognize it or not, after all, the last time I saw it, it was still a rabbit, and it was the first time I saw it in human form.
Wang Rui walked over and called a few times: "Hey, hey, I'm Wang Rui." When no one woke up, he saw the man's hair tie sticking to his back neatly, and thought that it could not be the result of rabbit ears. ?
So I went up to squeeze it, and saw this man stare, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes suddenly: "Who squeezed my ears? Eh? Wang Rui?"
"Are you the Rabbit God?" Wang Rui asked tentatively.
He Yun said: "Just now I couldn't see it when I closed my eyes, now I will open my eyes, and it must be it."
When Wang Rui took a look, he really felt that the other party's eyes were dull, naive, and curious about everything, which was indeed exactly the same as the rabbit in the Moon Palace.
"That's right, it's me, it's me!" Rabbit God shook his headband, and smiled embarrassedly: "The lower realm came to look for you, I didn't expect to watch the puppet show a few more times, it was so funny, Haha... Then I don't know anything, but it's also very good, as soon as I open my eyes, you will come to me by yourself."
It's very dangerous for you to do this. One day you fainted from laughing on the road, what should you do if you are carried home by a gangster?
Wang Rui smiled and said, "You were allowed to go down to the world so soon? Follow us."
Rabbit God stood up and sniffed with a keen nose: "There seem to be a lot of delicious food here."
Wang Rui and He Yunyi didn't eat at all, although they wouldn't die if they didn't eat, but appetite was still a normal need.
Since the Rabbit God came to Yuanning Mansion to look for him, Wang Rui treated the guests, sat down in this private room, and asked Xiao Er to serve the food directly.
Rabbit God looked at the dishes on the table, happily raised his chopsticks and said, "It's better in the world!"
He Yunyi asked at this time: "What do you come to go to the lower realm? Heaven will not be kind enough to allow you to go to the lower realm so soon, just to let you relax."
Hearing this, the Rabbit God seemed to have been immobilized, his movements froze, and he came back to his senses after a while: "Yes, I remembered, I came here to catch that toad!"
He Yun said together: "That's great, so that I don't have to do it. But since Chang'e is in the palace, where did this human toad come from?"
Wang Rui listened attentively, waiting for the answer from Rabbit God.
"It was separated from Chang'e!" God Rabbit put on an "old-timer" appearance, and said earnestly: "The news you outsiders got is that Chang'e turned into a toad when she flew to the moon. This is wrong. The real situation is that when Chang'e flew to the moon, she merged with the jade toad that originally existed on the moon.
Before Chang'e came, Yuchan told me that it despised itself for being ugly and wanted to be a beauty. Not long after, Chang'e flew to the moon, and it flew to meet Chang'e and forcibly merged with Chang'e. "
Wang Rui was shocked: "That is to say, the Chang'e seen by later generations is actually a toad?"
He Yun nodded Wang Rui's forehead: "I told you to read more books, which has already been written in Zhang Heng's "Ling Xian" in the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"What did you write? I want to see it."
The thirst for knowledge must be satisfied, so He Yunyi took out a book from his sleeve, put it on the table, turned to a page, and pointed it out to Wang Rui.
Wang Rui saw that it said: Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for the medicine of immortality, and Chang'e stole it to fly to the moon.In the future, there will be a divination for Youhuang, and Huang Zhanzhi will say: "Good luck."Pianpian returns to her sister, and she will go west alone, when the sky is dark, don't be alarmed or afraid, and then she will prosper. ’ Heng’e entrusted herself to the moon as a toad. "
The general idea is that the Queen Mother of the West gave the medicine of immortality to her descendants, but it was stolen by Houyi's wife Chang'e. He flew to the moon and became a toad.
Wang Rui was surprised and said: "That's true! Chang'e is Yuchan?"
"It is Yuchan and not Yuchan, it is Chang'e and not Chang'e. However, Chang'e's soul is still alive and she often resists. Once she performed a dance in the heavenly court and suddenly showed the face of a toad. Since then, she has not been allowed to step out of Guangzhou. It's cold." Tu'er said divinely, "I don't want to see either of them, stealing my husband's elixir and being possessed by Yu Chan is also considered retribution."
He Yun said: "Chang'e finally succeeded in separating the toad from her body? No wonder I saw Chang'e's sick face, and I wondered why she was so weak as a fairy, because she didn't get sick and didn't fight. Yuchan has consumed both physical strength and mana."
"That's right!" Tu'er said excitedly: "I just said why she kept hiding in Guanghan Palace and couldn't come out. I thought she had resigned herself to her fate, but I didn't expect to find a way to separate Yuchan. She subdued her In order to prevent it from possessing me again, I put Yuchan on it when the broom star was passing through, and drove it to the human world."
Wang Rui frowned: "Then Yuchan is the mother's?"
"Yes, there must be one male and one female to conceive gods in heaven and earth. I am male, and Yuchan is female. Moreover, if it were male, it would not be worshiped in the early days of the world. Its status in the early years was comparable to mine. Much taller."
"Why?" Wang Rui couldn't help asking again, unable to figure out why people worship toads.
The rabbit said: "Because it has many sons and a long life. Zhang Ling, a Taoist priest in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in the "Book of Tao": "Long live the toad, with sesame grass on its back, it is auspicious for the world. "The God of Wealth is called Liu Haichan. Toad is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is very good. I am right, Tianxuzi. It is only recently that people's hearts are not ancient, and they only judge good or bad by beauty and ugliness, so the status of toad has plummeted."
After he finished speaking, he smiled: "However, who is not like this, so am I."
Wang Rui was given a class, and he hadn't finished digesting the knowledge points: "...So, you descended to the lower realm, are you here to bring Yuchan back to the Moon Palace?"
"Well, we can't let it stay in the human world, especially since it also knows the recipe for the Benyue Immortal Medicine, so we can't leave it alone."
"Have you been able to fight?" He Yunyi was skeptical.
"So, can you do me a favor?" Tu'er said hesitantly, "...it's really hard for me to be alone."
As soon as He Yun didn't speak, it seemed that he thought it was troublesome. Beating Yuchan to vent his anger and sending him back to the Moon Palace in uniform were two different things, and the latter was much more troublesome.
At this time, Tuer God suddenly thought of something, and had an idea: "How about this, you help me subdue Yuchan, and I will be a witness for your wedding. I am a god who manages marriage, and I am still qualified to be a witness." stop."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Yun said, "Let's go, let's go find that toad!"
After he pointed it out righteously, a trace of embarrassment floated in the air, everyone looked at him, and then looked away.
Obviously, except for Wang Rui, no one was concerned about this.
He Yun waved at him: "Come to my side, and I will protect you from the wind." He didn't want Wang Rui to leave his side for a moment.
Unexpectedly, Wang Rui heard this, and waved his hands with a false smile: "I'm fine here, this tree can block the wind and lean on." As he said, he leaned his shoulders on the trunk, pretending to be leisurely.
Just when He Yun was puzzled, the old lady laughed and said, "Why is it wrong for our mother to call herself a frog god? But anyone who jumps on four legs must serve our mother. Tian Xuzi, our eldest son made a mistake. Our empress already knew about it, and reprimanded the eldest son, she told this old slave, if you are willing to condescend to come to the humble house, you must apologize in person."
He Yun snorted and said, "It's the first time I've heard that an apology requires the other party to come to your door."
The old woman frowned slightly, but quickly said with a pleasant face: "I will go back and tell my mother your will. But, Tian Xuzi, can you not intervene in our marriage with the Zhao family?"
"It depends..." He Yunben wanted to say, "It depends on whether Wang Yuanwai asks me to rescue his niece." But when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought that he and Wang Rui had obtained the permission of Wang Yongde and his wife, Calling Wang Yuanwai is too condescending, but calling him "father-in-law" is shameless, so he couldn't help but get tangled up, so the words got stuck on the edge of his mouth.
In fact, Wang Yongde and his wife can't say anything, after all, Xiuwen's parents are there, so they can't do it for them.
At this time, Wang Rui shouted from behind the tree: "Why should I agree to you? If He Yunyi doesn't help you, you group of toads will have magic power by becoming a spirit, but they bully the Zhao family vigorously. They don't have any The possibility of winning. The difference in strength between monsters and mortals is too great."
"Prince Wang, what you said is not pleasant to listen to, please don't interfere, Tian Xuzi, because we want to resolve this matter calmly..."
Wang Rui interrupted her: "Why, listen to what you mean, if He Yunyi helps, it will turn into a fight?"
"Prince Wang, since you have a lot to talk about, please come to me, it will be easier for us to talk, isn't it?"
As soon as the old woman said this, Wang Rui was "counseled", only showing one eye behind the tree, and stopped talking.
At this time, Uncle Zhao looked at the dowry gift, but he didn't care about so much. He stepped on the toad, walked up to the box, picked up the copper coins inside, and asked the old woman: "...Xiuwen, how are you doing now? "
"It's very good, it's at our house, don't worry, you can visit me later." The old woman said sincerely, "The eldest son is reckless, the empress has already reprimanded him, and he knows his mistake. These betrothal gifts are just For a part, if a marriage is decided, there will naturally be a bride price."
The third aunt went up to push her husband away, and said to the old woman: "We don't want these things, return my daughter."
"Woman, what do you know?!" Zhao Sanjiu said fiercely, "Since he came to propose marriage, he is showing sincerity. You don't want to do anything bad."
"Are you selling your daughter? You wanted to ration your daughter to your nephew Rui before, but now you want to sell your daughter to a monster? Inside and out, all you care about is money!"
The old woman said unhurriedly: "Our eldest son is infatuated with Miss Xiuwen, and he will never treat her badly. Although our son pretended to be a prince, he was only pretending to be a skin. If he treats Miss Xiuwen No, would she be willing to elope with our young master?"
Although during the elopement, the young master showed his true colors and frightened her into fainting.
Wang Rui found that the old woman was really eloquent, no wonder she was asked to be a lobbyist, he couldn't help but said again: "It's useless to talk nonsense, it depends on Xiuwen's attitude, if you are really sincere, you will She sends it back first, and then talks about the future, apart from this, any sincerity is empty talk."
"Nephew Rui is right, send my daughter back first, and then talk about sincerity!" The third aunt was tough.
The old woman hesitated for a moment: "Okay, I will tell you. However, please accept the dowry today as compensation for repairing the courtyard wall." After finishing speaking, the old woman muttered a few words , the toads on the ground dragged the boxes neatly and marched into the courtyard.

"Big, didn't you see that the blowing made me close my eyes." Wang Rui closed his eyes and pouted.
He Yun smiled lightly: "Since the wind is strong, let's go down to the ground and I will help you."
"No, I'm fine here."

Behind the bead curtain, there was a shadowy voice: "What's Tian Xuzi's attitude? Are you still pestering my son about letting Wang Rui take the elixir?"
"Forgive me for being incompetent, I didn't see it, because Wang Rui kept interrupting, and the old slave didn't say a few words to Tian Xuzi. He said that if you want to apologize, you'd better come to the door in person, but I think his tone is unavoidable It's too big, don't worry about it." The old woman said: "This old slave thinks that the most urgent thing is to worry about the heavenly court sending someone down."
"Okay, I know everything, let's go down, ask Shi Niang and son-in-law Xue to persuade Zhao Xiuwen."
The old woman took the order to retreat, exited the tall building, bypassed the lake and the broken bridge, and came to a big house. She heard voices inside, knocked on the door, and walked in. She saw Zhao Xiuwen holding a pillow, watching vigilantly. looking at her, and sitting in front of her was an extremely beautiful young girl.
Sitting at a table not far away was a handsome man.
"Miss ten, my uncle, my mother wants you two to talk to Miss Xiuwen well, so that she won't be lonely here." The old woman smiled at Xiuwen: "I just came back from your house, everything is fine, your father Received the dowry."
When Xiuwen heard this, she grabbed the pillow vigorously and sobbed, "How could he do this..."
Xue Kunsheng persuaded with a smile at this time: "My father was like this back then, but it turned out that marrying the daughter of the Frog God is not bad. Now my family is rich, my wife is beautiful and virtuous, and I live a very good life. If I refused at that time Shi Niang, someone else is enjoying the blessings now. The Eldest Young Master is infatuated with you, so you should agree."
Shi Niang also echoed her husband: "Our situation is the same as yours. We are living peacefully and beautifully now. Besides, you already have my eldest brother's child in your womb. It's a done deal. You just follow him. He still values you. Why would you let us persuade you now, don't you think?"
Xiuwen was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Let me meet him."
Shi Niang, Xue Kunsheng and the old lady hurried out and invited the eldest son in.
Seeing that he still looks like his cousin, Xiuwen couldn't help but feel heartbroken: "...I don't know what you look like... Do you want to be like this forever?"
"If you like it, I will be like this for the rest of my life."
"I don't like it, I want to see your real appearance...I want to see what the child's father looks like..." She pursed her lips firmly and said, "You can't lie to me anymore..."
He scratched his cheek, very embarrassed, but felt that what Xiu Wen said made sense: "...Okay..."
Shi Niang and Xue Kunsheng, who were waiting outside the door, heard Zhao Xiuwen's cry from inside: "I don't want to look at you, you are so ugly and disgusting, get out—"
Then, I saw the Eldest Young Master walking out aggrieved while wiping tears.
He was short and fat, with a bald head, fat cheeks and eyeballs, bumpy skin, and a lot of fat accumulated on his neck.
As a toad, the species is limited, and their human form is very ugly, which is why he turned into Wang Rui.
At this time, Shi Niang pulled him aside, sighed, and said, "My silly brother, she told you to show your true colors, how could you listen to her? That's what my family always said, and I never paid attention to it." They want to say to see your true face, but in the final analysis, they still want to see your good-looking side."
"Then, what should I do now?"
"I have a solution. You go to the Raksha Demon Fair and buy a dozen or so painted skins. Use your own face on the first one, and then start from the second one, modifying it a little bit every day to make it look better. Step by step, Wait until the last one and draw a handsome scholar.
In this way, she will accept the change in your appearance. "
"It makes sense, it makes sense, I'll go right away, and Xiu Wen entrusts you to take good care of it." After he finished speaking, he turned into a puff of yellow-green smoke and flew away.
At the same time, in the Zhao family, through the reflection of a basin of water arranged by He Yunyi, the Zhao family and Wang family who saw all this also looked back.
Someone said: "They treat Xiuwen quite well."
"Good or bad are also monsters."
"Sometimes people may not be comparable to monsters."
The Zhao family was divided into two factions, each sticking to their own views and arguing endlessly. Wang Yongde and his wife also watched the battle from the sidelines, expressing their views from time to time.
Seeing this, Wang Rui pulled He Yunyi's sleeve and went out.
He Yunyi was also willing to come out with him, thinking joyfully in his heart that he still wanted to be alone with him.
The two returned to He Yunyi's room before, because Wang Rui's guest room was occupied by "Toad", he felt disgusted and did not want to step in.
After sitting down at the table, He Yunyi hugged him with one arm, and took the apple on the table with the other to give him to eat.
Wang Rui ate a few mouthfuls, but found that the other party was looking at him intently. He was inexplicable: "What's so interesting about my food?"
"You eat apples, I want to eat you." He whispered softly in his ear.
"..." Wang Rui was stunned for a moment, and put down the apple: "Then I won't eat it, and you don't want to eat me either."
He Yunyi didn't care so much, hugged him and smiled, "I don't care, I want to eat you anyway."
Thick skin was forced by Wang Rui. If he didn't take the initiative, judging by his appearance, he could spend a long time with him.
Wang Rui's heart tightened, and he used it again as an interruption skill: "Whether you want to eat me or not, now is not the time, I think you seem to have something on your mind all the time, it was when you were in the moon palace, and just now, following the old woman You look disappointed that you didn't see the true face of the Frog God behind the bead curtain, why?"
I have to say that he asked this question very well, and He Yunyi couldn't help but give up the topic of "eating" for the time being, and instead answered this: "... From all indications, this toad is from the Moon Palace, otherwise her My son also won't have the elixir to fly to the moon, but...it doesn't seem right, after all, Chang'e is in the moon palace, and you and I have seen it with our own eyes."
Wang Rui had a bad premonition: "Why, Chang'e and Toad exist separately, do they conflict?"
He Yun poked him on the forehead: "I don't know anything about this?"
Wang Rui shrugged: "I don't really know...how about you tell me?" After finishing speaking, he smiled and gave him the appearance of patting his shoulder: "Please enlighten me."
He Yunyi hugged his shoulders and made a "smug" look. After Wang Rui beat him a few times, he frowned and said, "My shoulders are not sore, so you don't need to beat them. I just have no taste in my mouth. I want to eat something..." Then, she glanced at Wang Rui.
Great, brought the topic back again, Wang Rui raised his eyebrows, rolled his eyes, and had an idea: "It's tasteless, isn't it?" After seeing He Yun nodding, he leaned over and kissed him deeply, and then She smiled and asked, "Is it sweet?"
He Yunyi was caught off guard by his kiss, touched his lips, and said with a smile, "Hmm...it's okay...can I have dessert?"
Wang Rui shook his head, ran away after flirting, opened the door and went out into the courtyard, just as he ran out of the courtyard, he ran into He Yunyi's arms.
"Just kidding, you are not allowed to use teleportation."
He Yunyi didn't care so much, put his arms around him, raised his chin, and said with a smile: "Whoever runs first is the one who is cheating."
Just when they were about to kiss Wang Rui, Wang Yongde coughed heavily behind them.
Wang Rui was still afraid of his father in his bones, so he quickly struggled away from He Yunyi's embrace and stood upright: "...Dad."
Wang Yongde shook his head and sighed: "...someone came to you at the door and said it was from a big restaurant. You should take a look, don't worry about it again."
After hearing this, Wang Rui hurriedly took He Yunyi away, and when he reached the gate, he saw a waiter standing there with his sleeves in his hands.
Wang Rui had never seen this person before, so he stepped forward and asked, "Are you looking for Wang Rui? I am."
"Oh oh oh, you are Young Master Wang, right? Just now, we had a guest who asked us about the Zhao family nearby. He said he was looking for Master Wang Ruiwang who was visiting relatives in the Zhao family." The waiter smacked his lips and said: " After we told him, he went out, and within a quarter of an hour, he heard bursts of laughter outside, and then someone said that someone had fainted. We went out to see that it was the guest just now.
There was a puppet show near the restaurant. For some reason, he fainted from laughter. This person is in our restaurant. The boss will invite you to take a look and see if you recognize him. "
Wang Rui knew who this person was: "It's really troublesome for you." He tipped the shop waiter with a few coins, and then urged: "Take me there quickly."
He Yunyi felt troubled: "Do you know? Who is it?"
"No accident, it's a rabbit, so there should be no accident." He Yunyi had never seen this scene where the rabbit fainted from laughter, so he didn't know it was normal.
When they arrived at a place called Yuexuan Restaurant, Wang Rui and the others were taken directly to a private room on the third floor, where they saw a handsome young man in white lying against the corner, with his eyes closed, panting slightly, maybe he was sleeping. Cowed, still in a coma.
The store probably saw that he looked and dressed like he was from a wealthy family, so he helped him find friends after he passed out.
"Do you know him?" the waiter asked.
It's hard to say whether I recognize it or not, after all, the last time I saw it, it was still a rabbit, and it was the first time I saw it in human form.
Wang Rui walked over and called a few times: "Hey, hey, I'm Wang Rui." When no one woke up, he saw the man's hair tie sticking to his back neatly, and thought that it could not be the result of rabbit ears. ?
So I went up to squeeze it, and saw this man stare, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes suddenly: "Who squeezed my ears? Eh? Wang Rui?"
"Are you the Rabbit God?" Wang Rui asked tentatively.
He Yun said: "Just now I couldn't see it when I closed my eyes, now I will open my eyes, and it must be it."
When Wang Rui took a look, he really felt that the other party's eyes were dull, naive, and curious about everything, which was indeed exactly the same as the rabbit in the Moon Palace.
"That's right, it's me, it's me!" Rabbit God shook his headband, and smiled embarrassedly: "The lower realm came to look for you, I didn't expect to watch the puppet show a few more times, it was so funny, Haha... Then I don't know anything, but it's also very good, as soon as I open my eyes, you will come to me by yourself."
It's very dangerous for you to do this. One day you fainted from laughing on the road, what should you do if you are carried home by a gangster?
Wang Rui smiled and said, "You were allowed to go down to the world so soon? Follow us."
Rabbit God stood up and sniffed with a keen nose: "There seem to be a lot of delicious food here."
Wang Rui and He Yunyi didn't eat at all, although they wouldn't die if they didn't eat, but appetite was still a normal need.
Since the Rabbit God came to Yuanning Mansion to look for him, Wang Rui treated the guests, sat down in this private room, and asked Xiao Er to serve the food directly.
Rabbit God looked at the dishes on the table, happily raised his chopsticks and said, "It's better in the world!"
He Yunyi asked at this time: "What do you come to go to the lower realm? Heaven will not be kind enough to allow you to go to the lower realm so soon, just to let you relax."
Hearing this, the Rabbit God seemed to have been immobilized, his movements froze, and he came back to his senses after a while: "Yes, I remembered, I came here to catch that toad!"
He Yun said together: "That's great, so that I don't have to do it. But since Chang'e is in the palace, where did this human toad come from?"
Wang Rui listened attentively, waiting for the answer from Rabbit God.
"It was separated from Chang'e!" God Rabbit put on an "old-timer" appearance, and said earnestly: "The news you outsiders got is that Chang'e turned into a toad when she flew to the moon. This is wrong. The real situation is that when Chang'e flew to the moon, she merged with the jade toad that originally existed on the moon.
Before Chang'e came, Yuchan told me that it despised itself for being ugly and wanted to be a beauty. Not long after, Chang'e flew to the moon, and it flew to meet Chang'e and forcibly merged with Chang'e. "
Wang Rui was shocked: "That is to say, the Chang'e seen by later generations is actually a toad?"
He Yun nodded Wang Rui's forehead: "I told you to read more books, which has already been written in Zhang Heng's "Ling Xian" in the Eastern Han Dynasty."
"What did you write? I want to see it."
The thirst for knowledge must be satisfied, so He Yunyi took out a book from his sleeve, put it on the table, turned to a page, and pointed it out to Wang Rui.
Wang Rui saw that it said: Yi asked the Queen Mother of the West for the medicine of immortality, and Chang'e stole it to fly to the moon.In the future, there will be a divination for Youhuang, and Huang Zhanzhi will say: "Good luck."Pianpian returns to her sister, and she will go west alone, when the sky is dark, don't be alarmed or afraid, and then she will prosper. ’ Heng’e entrusted herself to the moon as a toad. "
The general idea is that the Queen Mother of the West gave the medicine of immortality to her descendants, but it was stolen by Houyi's wife Chang'e. He flew to the moon and became a toad.
Wang Rui was surprised and said: "That's true! Chang'e is Yuchan?"
"It is Yuchan and not Yuchan, it is Chang'e and not Chang'e. However, Chang'e's soul is still alive and she often resists. Once she performed a dance in the heavenly court and suddenly showed the face of a toad. Since then, she has not been allowed to step out of Guangzhou. It's cold." Tu'er said divinely, "I don't want to see either of them, stealing my husband's elixir and being possessed by Yu Chan is also considered retribution."
He Yun said: "Chang'e finally succeeded in separating the toad from her body? No wonder I saw Chang'e's sick face, and I wondered why she was so weak as a fairy, because she didn't get sick and didn't fight. Yuchan has consumed both physical strength and mana."
"That's right!" Tu'er said excitedly: "I just said why she kept hiding in Guanghan Palace and couldn't come out. I thought she had resigned herself to her fate, but I didn't expect to find a way to separate Yuchan. She subdued her In order to prevent it from possessing me again, I put Yuchan on it when the broom star was passing through, and drove it to the human world."
Wang Rui frowned: "Then Yuchan is the mother's?"
"Yes, there must be one male and one female to conceive gods in heaven and earth. I am male, and Yuchan is female. Moreover, if it were male, it would not be worshiped in the early days of the world. Its status in the early years was comparable to mine. Much taller."
"Why?" Wang Rui couldn't help asking again, unable to figure out why people worship toads.
The rabbit said: "Because it has many sons and a long life. Zhang Ling, a Taoist priest in the Eastern Han Dynasty, said in the "Book of Tao": "Long live the toad, with sesame grass on its back, it is auspicious for the world. "The God of Wealth is called Liu Haichan. Toad is not a bad thing, on the contrary, it is very good. I am right, Tianxuzi. It is only recently that people's hearts are not ancient, and they only judge good or bad by beauty and ugliness, so the status of toad has plummeted."
After he finished speaking, he smiled: "However, who is not like this, so am I."
Wang Rui was given a class, and he hadn't finished digesting the knowledge points: "...So, you descended to the lower realm, are you here to bring Yuchan back to the Moon Palace?"
"Well, we can't let it stay in the human world, especially since it also knows the recipe for the Benyue Immortal Medicine, so we can't leave it alone."
"Have you been able to fight?" He Yunyi was skeptical.
"So, can you do me a favor?" Tu'er said hesitantly, "...it's really hard for me to be alone."
As soon as He Yun didn't speak, it seemed that he thought it was troublesome. Beating Yuchan to vent his anger and sending him back to the Moon Palace in uniform were two different things, and the latter was much more troublesome.
At this time, Tuer God suddenly thought of something, and had an idea: "How about this, you help me subdue Yuchan, and I will be a witness for your wedding. I am a god who manages marriage, and I am still qualified to be a witness." stop."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Yun said, "Let's go, let's go find that toad!"
