Propose a hundred times

Geng Qiufang's dissatisfaction and curses sounded in vain, whether it was Geng Qiuyue who was close to her ears, the villagers' family members around, or the two people she complained about, they could all hear clearly.

"Who is that next to Brother Yuan? It's not from our village. Looking at the clothes and style, it must be the young master of a family in the city."

"Looks as handsome as Brother Yuan, he must be a scholar!"

"Ah! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's Xiaosheng's fault, this girl, please don't be angry!"

"It's nothing hehe! Sister Qiufang, your vegetable seedlings are all right, it's so easy to die if you step on them!"

"Bah, bah, bah! What are you talking about! It's a good day to say something, it's not good to say this, it's unlucky! Hurry up and enter the ancestral hall, it's about to start!"

The aunts on the side were dissatisfied, and the young men shut their mouths and exchanged glances for a moment. The Geng family sisters glared at Yuan Shaoan, and the latter rolled his eyes back.

Incidentally, Mr. Chen also suffered a disaster, and he received a slap in the face. At the same time, he became slightly curious about the relationship between the two sisters of the Geng family and Yuan Shao'an.

"Andy, why don't I pay that girl over there?"

"No, it's a big deal! They just like to grab trivial things to bring me bad luck, so ignore them!" Shao'an was helpless, this Chen Shusheng was really...

While they were talking, all the villagers from the surrounding roads had already arrived and surrounded the ancestral hall one by one, only some of them entered.It seemed that they were offering incense to the dishes, and Li Zheng began to preside over the handover ceremony after the old village chief finished offering incense.

At this time, the sky changed suddenly, and the originally scorching sun was unknowingly covered by black clouds, and the sky suddenly became darker, and the villagers did not react much.Seeing this, the Geng sisters didn't care about Yuan Shao'an and the two of them, they withdrew their expressions, thinking that it was time to enter the ancestral hall, but looking at the wall of people in front of them, they encountered difficulties again.

Yuan Shaoan on the other end led Chen Shijie to the outside of the ancestral hall, and stopped in embarrassment.

"Hey, Yuan Shaoan, what are you doing here in our village ancestral hall?"

Geng Qiuyue's face is still quite thin in front of strangers, and some things are hard to say. Fortunately, Qiufang, a cousin, can always speak for herself very skillfully, and she can also show a curious heart of gossip. Her calm face is so worry-free.

"This is Brother Chen Shijie, my friend. Brother Shijie, this is Geng Qiuyue, the second daughter of the village head who is now the village head, and this is Geng Qiufang, her cousin."

Shaoan gave them a brief introduction, and Chen Shijie saluted the two girls: "Xiaosheng Chen Shijie, the two girls are polite."

"..."

"Young Master Chen is polite."

"Just now, I stepped on the ground and stepped on the vegetable field. Shijie hereby apologizes to the two Miss Geng. The two girls should not blame them."

Scholars with dignified looks and personable manners are extremely rare in this village, so naturally they are particularly eye-catching.And his polite and modest gentleman's appearance and demeanor make people feel good.

It was probably the first time for Geng Qiufang to be treated so politely by a strange man, and she felt awkward for a while, not knowing how to respond.Geng Qiuyue, who was at the side, had been to the school for a few months anyway, and a little bit of etiquette was not a problem, so she returned the gift generously, adding some points to her side,

"Mr. Chen, you're welcome. Our sisters don't blame you."

"Thank you very much then."

"..."

Geng Qiuyue and Geng Qiuyue's two sisters are quite different from ordinary rural girls in their clothing style, posture and appearance, and Geng Qiuyue's decent speech and behavior are not inferior to those of the ladies in the city. Cast two more eyes.

The extra two eyes caused the rest of the people to have different thoughts.

Geng Qiufang gossips: Yoyo, Mr. Chen, have you taken a fancy to my second sister?But you two are really a good match.

Geng Qiuyue is proud: What are you looking at, have you never seen a beautiful woman?Sure enough, those with the surname Yuan are Dengtuzi!

Yuan Shaoan was upset: What's so good about it, a tigress, this woman is not suitable for you!

Whether she is unhappy or not, she, Yuan Shao'an, has nothing to say, just watching the two of them talk and deal with each other, watching them politely say some polite words, and watching Geng Qiuyue behave dignifiedly and decently in front of Mr. Chen without being aggressive. He turned his head, rolled his eyes secretly, and said in his heart: Tsk tsk tsk, it's so sour!

This time, Shao'an wanted to bring Chen Shijie to watch the excitement, but right now he couldn't just go outside and watch the heads, and seeing that the weather was not good and it might rain, he had to find a way to get in.Seeing that Qiuyue and the other two were also helpless in the face of the sea of ​​people earlier, after thinking for a while, he said, "You two also want to go in? Later, the two of us will lead the way in front, and you two will follow behind. squeezed out."

As he spoke, he pulled Chen Shijie's sleeve, and managed to open a way through the crowd, and finally entered the gate of the ancestral hall.Qiuyue Qiufang behind took advantage of this and also came in, otherwise they would have been so crowded if they were asked to enter by themselves!

Before they could speak, someone squeezed over from the side of the lobby, patted Yuan Shaoan on the shoulder, and looked at the person Shaoan was pulling, both surprised and surprised.

"Why did you come here! Isn't this Mr. Chen from that day? He really came to the village!"

"Brother Liu, be polite."

"You guys know each other? Aren't you Yuan Shaoan's friend?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Wangxi also knew this Mr. Chen, so Qiuyue Qiufang became even more curious.Smart eyes, puzzled eyes, asking what happened.When Liu Wangxi saw Qiufang asking questions, he naturally answered them attentively.

"Mr. Chen, Shao'an and I met when we went back to the town, but the day we didn't bring anything to Miss Qiuyue, do you remember? That day, Shao'an lent all of Mr. Chen's money to pay for the consultation fee... come back Miss Qiuyue lost her temper with Shao'an a lot!"

Liu Wangxi's speech art was not as good as the few people present, and he said whatever he had in his heart. This passage not only exposed Chen Shijie's experience, but also revealed some of the delicate relationship between Geng Qiuyue and Yuan Shao'an.

Apart from other things, Geng Qiuyue's face burned unconsciously just by mentioning the scene of that day again.Not because of the jokes I made that day, but because I remembered Yuan Shaoan's nonsense...

"Yo, it turns out that you said that you ran out of money that day, it was true, and you helped Mr. Chen. You are so warm-hearted, and my sister and I wrongly blamed you two."

It's also Qiu Fang's endorsement, and these words sound like a yin and yang, but this taste, Liu Wangxi can't taste it, Chen Shijie can't taste it, Yuan Shaoan can taste it, let alone Geng Qiuyue.

However, after this sentence, it was Mr. Chen who spoke up.

"Yeah, Andy is really warm-hearted. Thanks to him, Shijie can talk and laugh here today..."

Chen Shijie's eyes turned, and he looked at Yuan Shao'an, who was grinning brightly and embarrassedly, the sincere smile in his eyes couldn't be hidden.

Seeing this, Geng Qiuyue's heart skipped a beat, she frowned slightly, and did not speak again.

The time has come, after the old village chief's speech, under the auspices of Lizheng in Fenghuang Town, Boss Geng took over the appointment document specially prepared by the county magistrate, and under the witness of all the villagers, he finished his speech and lit incense to sacrifice.

The whole process was quite smooth. The onlookers looked at the dry dishes, vegetables and fruits on the altar table, and the big and fragrant roast pig, all with smiles hanging from the corners of their eyes and brows, looking forward to taking these dishes back when they went to Geng’s house later. go home.Of course, what they need to pay for this is a few copper coins.

The censer continued to burn incense, and when Village Chief Geng kowtowed to the ancestral hall and stood up after reciting the prayer, a sudden thunderclap instantly drowned out the noise inside and outside the ancestral hall, and the unsuspecting people were almost frightened by the thunder. Then, when I came back to my senses and looked outside, the sky had changed drastically, with dark clouds, and then the wind blew up, and after everyone's discussion became louder, the wind intensified, and the heavy rain fell...

Inevitably, the people outside the hall started a commotion, you squeezed me and you squeezed you, wanting to enter the hall to escape the wind and rain.The people in the hall tried their best to lean in, so as to make room for others.In this way, the ancestral hall, which was originally in a good atmosphere, suddenly became noisy and smoky.

The talkative person finally couldn't control his mind and mouth, and exclaimed with a dark face: "This time my son will change, what is the omen, it's too unlucky!"

"That's right, I'm afraid God has some warning..."

As soon as he said this, the faces of the people around him changed, and there were endless discussions, and people's hearts were fluctuating and restless.Boss Geng couldn't be calm when he saw this, but he didn't want to say anything, so he just frowned and controlled the situation.

"Don't panic, everyone, who can predict when it will rain, it's just a coincidence, everyone hides in first, and the people inside will move in..."

Having said that, the people present are farmers in the countryside after all, they don't believe in anything else, they believe in evil. Village Chief Geng, the new official, has changed the world just after he took office, and he has given them enough information. How could he A "coincidence" can make all the folks feel at ease.

At this time, a few more talkative words popped up, and the words they said were even more reasonable and convincing.

"It doesn't thunder sooner or later, but at this time, you can't force it to be a coincidence! I'm afraid it's really a bad day, or God doesn't agree with Boss Geng as our village chief?"

"It's true to say that, isn't the Geng family always having unlucky things these days?"

"Yes, yes, it is a bad omen!"

"..."

The villagers were panic-stricken, and they didn't care where, on what occasion, or in front of whom, chattering and making noise.Seeing that the situation was out of control, Boss Geng had a headache, the old village head had a headache, and even Lizheng, who had come to complete the task, also felt a headache, and said from the bottom of his heart that it was not suitable to do things today, these rural villagers were annoying and ignorant enough.

Geng Qiuyue and other members of the Geng family were also anxious, but there was nothing they could do.Only those who are clear and clever, and those who don't believe in evil spirits are considered calm.

Although Yuan Shao'an is not considered pushy, but she is nosy, just like Mr. Chen said, she is old-fashioned and warm-hearted.Seeing Boss Geng's face full of embarrassment, seeing that the villagers were ignorant and hesitant, after a little thought, they stood up.

"Hey! Don't bother everyone, listen to me! Wind, thunder, and rain are big things, as for you? Why are you making it look like the sky is about to collapse? Who said that this change in the sky is a bad omen Come on? Why do I think it is a good omen? The village chief Geng kowtowed to the ancestors and gods to pray for blessings. Did he ask for good weather? Just finished praying, the wind came and the rain came, so effective! Obviously it is Good thing, I'll give you a whole lot... right? Who said just now that God doesn't agree with Uncle Geng's succession? Come out, and you'll be the village head! Hurry up and go home and kill pigs and chickens, so that Uncle Geng won't be thankless ..."

Although Yuan Shaoan had plausible arguments, after all, he was still young, and his defense was far-fetched. There were some stubborn old people who didn't like to be threatened by her, so they still refused to let go.

"Brother Yuan, don't talk nonsense here. That is your future father-in-law. Of course you will protect him. Look outside, the rain is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky is getting darker. Where is the auspicious sign? There are so many people in our village. Don't dare to take this risk! I don't want to count what happened today..."

"cough--"

Brother Yuan's face froze, and it took him a long time to realize the meaning of the previous sentence. He raised his eyebrows, twitched his eyes, and stopped talking.Looking at the silent Geng Qiuyue, because of that sentence, her complexion changed instantly, she didn't look at the speaker or the others, her beautiful eyes rolled around, and she gave Yuan Shaoan a solid stare.

Die!Everyone in the village thinks we are... now!

Shaoan was speechless, resigned himself to the stare, and didn't notice that beside her was also Chen Shijie, who had been silent until now. First, he cast unexpected and puzzled eyes on her, and then followed everyone's gaze to examine Geng Qiuyue for a moment. Finally, together Timely but not quite according to the rules, speak,

"Everyone, just listen to what Xiaosheng said. Today is the big day for Village Chief Geng to take office, and Mr. Li Zheng is going to preside over it. It must be an auspicious day specially chosen? The weather has changed at this auspicious time. Whether it is a coincidence or not, everyone I feel uneasy. Since everyone believes in evil and thinks this is a bad omen, why don't you think of a way to break the omen? Although Xiaosheng is a little talented, he has heard a little about the legend of folk Feng Shui metaphysics. I hope you can listen to it."

After all, Chen Shijie is a scholar and has seen a lot of world situations, so he is not clumsy in dealing with such situations, and his angle of analysis of events is different from everyone else's, which is quite different.

After hearing this, everyone in the hall looked at him differently. They agreed, were curious, admired, admired, or felt displeased and disdainful.

"Who is this little brother? You are right!"

"You're right, you're an outsider, so don't talk too much."

"..."

"He's right!"

Mr. Lizheng, who had been dodging for a long time, finally stood up. After carefully sizing up Chen Shijie who was speaking,

"Fellow folks, this is Mr. Chen, the second son of the Chen family of our county's scholar family, and the nephew of the county magistrate. The old man thinks what he said is reasonable. Since everyone thinks that it is not a good omen that this day has become evil, then Just think of a way together, break it, and no one will mention it in the future!" Saying that, he raised a polite and approving smile at Mr. Chen, and then his eyes fell on Yuan Shaoan, and his eyes flicked back and forth between the two faces. Shuttle, I don't know what it means.

No one cared about Mr. Lizheng's strangeness. Because of his introduction, no one cast a disdainful look at Mr. Chen, and no longer doubted Mr. Chen's words. They were of one mind, talked in a low voice, and the discussion began. method.

As for Yuan Shaoan and others, they were also surprised when they learned of Chen Shijie's family background.

Obediently!Previously, he was only thought of as an ordinary scholar with some property in his family, but he didn't expect that he had such a family background, the nephew of the county magistrate!My son is here!Disrespect, disrespect!

Yuan Shaoan was very proud of having such a friend with such status, he couldn't help but look at the noble Mr. Chen, and then glanced to the other side from the corner of his eye, the weird look from the second girl of the Geng family , causing her back to stiffen immediately, she stared back blatantly, her eyes seemed to say:

Fat girl!Such an excellent man is beyond your imagination!

Where did she understand the meaning in the other person's eyes? Fortunately, she still thinks she is smart.The look in Geng Qiuyue's eyes clearly said:

Damn sissy!How talented to hook up with such a son after going out for half a day!

Just when the eyes of the two of them were indistinguishable, someone in the hall shouted,

"I have a solution! The Geng family hasten to organize a happy event, so happy!"

The author has something to say: Although the writing is messy, I still hope that you don’t fast forward too much. Take a closer look. This chapter has buried several foreshadowings. Don’t forget all the plots in the future...
