I want to live, get married

He Qingqing pointed to a red and colorful shop in the southeast corner of the market and suggested: "Yanhan, look, there happens to be a shop selling wedding and engagement items over there, let's go in and have a look!".

"En." Liu Yanhan readily agreed, and the two were about to move forward.

"Selling happy candles, hello, happy candles, to ensure that new couples will be united forever, grow old together, and never be separated from life to life..."

"Selling candles, candles..."

He Qingqing suddenly heard loud and clear cries coming from his ears, and when he took a closer look, it turned out to be a white-haired old woman with a wicker basket on her arm and a yellow-haired boy in her hand, who was selling along the street.

"Growing old together...", this word caught her attention all of a sudden, she smacked the word in her heart, and there was an invisible smile on her face.

She whispered in Liu Yanhan's ear and said: "Yanhan, there is an old lady who sells candles over there, why don't we go there first and take care of the old man's business, how about it?"

So, the two came to the old woman.

As soon as she approached, the old lady said hello first: "Hey, you two girls are buying candles! Which one of you wants to get married?"

He Qingqing was the first to answer when people were in good spirits on happy occasions: "Yes, I will get married in a few days, so I happened to go to the market today and buy some wedding items by the way."

"Oh, the girl is so beautiful!" The old woman looked He Qingqing up and down, left and right, and said jokingly: "I don't know which family is so lucky to find such a delicate lady like you. The other half is also a person who is as bright as the moon!

"Hmm...it's as bright as the moon..." He Qingqing glanced at Liu Yanhan who was standing beside her.

She smiled and replied: "Yes! She is indeed an indescribably wonderful person." As she said this, she was secretly happy in her heart.

Seeing He Qingqing's smug face, the little Huang Piao'er next to the old woman interjected, "Big sister, what does the person you want to marry look like! Isn't she as beautiful as the fairy Gong'e in the New Year pictures!" said the child A ignorant smile appeared on one side.

Liu Yanhan on the side understood what the child meant, raised an eyebrow at He Qingqing, and thought to himself: "I told you to talk too much, let's see how you answer now."

"Uh..." He Qingqing paused for a moment, and replied wittily: "It's really beautiful..."

She pointed to Liu Yanhan who was standing beside her again, and said, "It looks very similar to this girl, it's almost carved out of the same mold."

The old lady glanced at Liu Yanhan, and couldn't help but praise: "Oh, if you look like this girl, she is really beautiful..."

He Qingqing raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and smiled at Liu Yanhan.

Hearing this secret nonsense, Liu Yanhan didn't want to say more, so he took the conversation and asked about the goods directly.

"Mother-in-law, what kind of candles do you sell in your house? Let me take a look for this girl, so that I can choose a suitable one."

The old woman replied with a knowing smile: "No need to choose, no need to choose, the old woman has devoted herself to selling one kind of candles all her life, each piece is exquisitely crafted, and it is by no means comparable to common things."

The two were very curious, the old woman said her wedding candles so fresh and refined, wondering if the old woman was selling melons and boasting herself.

The old lady opened the wicker basket that was hanging on her arm, and sure enough there was a pair of big red candles lying inside, but the shape was strange, and it was not the same as those sold in other shops.

This pair of candle feet is as thick as an adult head, which is a style that has never been seen on the market.

I saw some green lines winding and circling on the dark red candle body, which was made of unknown material, and it still glowed like glazed glass.

The lines are neither auspicious decorations nor wishful wishes, but rather like a strange spell, in short, there is a sense of simplicity and mystery.

"Mother-in-law, your wedding candles are so unique. Other people's candles are painted with gold and colored inlays. It is a good omen for wealth and auspiciousness. Your family's wedding candles are red and green with matching patterns. As the saying goes, red and green are ugly and dead monkeys. I'm afraid this is so inappropriate!"

He Qingqing has always been straightforward in speaking and doing things, but her words became more and more outrageous: "Besides, everyone in the world wears red and colorful colors when they hold weddings. Who would like to have a little green when they have nothing to do!"

Although it is true, it is not appropriate to belittle other people's goods in front of the seller.

Liu Yanhan used his elbow to turn the Miss He, who was not able to speak out loud, and quietly reminded: "Shh..., don't speak so directly!"

"Bah... bah... what's green or not, it's unlucky..." The old woman spat and retorted angrily: "You two young girls are so ignorant, Ugin can be regarded as black coal by both of you, my family Xizhu has its own subtlety."

Seeing that the old lady spoke so firmly, He Qingqing asked: "Really? What's the subtlety? I would like to hear the details."

"Red and green are the true colors of the world. They are the purest and cannot be compared with handmade objects. The two are like black and white, yin and yang, and they are in contrast to each other. They seem to be irrelevant and mutually exclusive. In fact, they are the most perfect match. , Doesn’t it just imply a perfect union when used on this candle, which is just like the wish of the zither to sing in harmony and raise the case to the same eyebrows.” Said the old woman.

After hearing this exquisite and well-founded explanation, He Qingqing and Liu Yanhan looked at each other. Although they didn't discuss it with each other, they thought together.

"It seems to make sense."

"I have nothing to refute."

The old lady still praised herself and said: "On the wedding night, if you can use the candles from my old lady's house, you can keep them together and grow old together, and you will live forever."

The two looked at each other again, tacit understanding.

In the end, for the good fortune of the phrase "grow old together, live forever", He Qingqing made a final decision: "Don't talk about it, give me a couple."

The old woman smiled happily: "Well, this girl is very lucky. Today, the old woman has been selling for a whole day, and there is just such a pair of candles left. Since you really want it, the old woman might as well give it to you as a favor. It can be regarded as wishing the girl a happy wedding in advance, and my old woman can also be happy, and I will not accept your money today."

As he spoke, he took out the only pair of candles left in the wicker basket, wrapped them up in straw paper, and handed them to He Qingqing.

Originally, it was not easy to see a white-haired old woman leading a child to sell along the street, so the two of them stayed away from the shop and took care of the business of the old and the young.

Unexpectedly, instead of asking for money, He Qingqing couldn't make it through, she repeatedly shirked and said: "Mother-in-law, this can't be allowed."

"Take it, kid, it's just a pair of candles, you're welcome.

In the end, pushing and pushing, Liu Yanhan took advantage of the old woman's inattention and secretly put some broken silver in the wicker basket.

"Thank you, mother-in-law, I wish you all the best and a long life!" After speaking, he dragged He Qingqing and ran away without looking back.

Not long after the two left, Huang Piao'er, who had been laughing silly by the side just now, put away his ignorant and ignorant expression.

Zheng Se asked: "Grandma Candle, what is the mystery of the pair of candles, it is worth you to show your gods in the human world in person, and specially gift them to these two mortals."

"This candle is an extraordinary thing, and it can be recognised." The old woman replied.

"You said earlier that the method of saving people needs to be exchanged at equal value, so you took nine points of the ear knowledge from the female disciple of Xinyi Valley. Why are you returning all of it now? Isn't it superfluous?"

"No, no!" The old lady showed a deep and mysterious smile.

He explained: "Although the daughter of the He family created karmic obstacles in her ancestors and affected her children and grandchildren, she was able to catch up with the period of towering fruit, and she took the holy fruit as her heart, which is also destiny. Since she is blessed by towering spiritual power, she is my towering fruit." Heir.

It used to be a test, but now the two of them are sincere, never leave, and support each other. They have survived this catastrophe and have cultivated to perfection. Why should I criticize it again? Why don't I send a favor and give it to my ears, let the two of them live together A good relationship in the world can be regarded as infinite merit. "

Hearing this, Huang Piao'er suddenly realized, and couldn't help but praise: "Grandma Shentian, you really have a very mysterious plan, and the plan is impeccable from beginning to end."

"Okay, this trip is over, quickly put away the puppet, and follow me back to the forbidden area of ​​Linfeng Mountain." The old woman put away her smiling face and said involuntarily.

"Ha! I'm going back so soon..." Hearing that he was going back soon, Huang Piao'er complained reluctantly: "I want to hang around for a few more hours, how interesting and lively this market is, Let's play again."

"You little fox, you can't think of leaving after just a while..." The old woman criticized with a serious face.

"Don't be greedy for mortal vain and delusion. If you don't listen to the will, don't blame me for punishing you according to the law."

As she spoke, she stretched out her finger and poked the kid's forehead angrily, to show her vigilance.

"Yes, yes, yes...Grandma, don't get angry..." Huang Piao'er got scared at this moment, and hurriedly took orders and said: "Disciple, I will abide by the decree of the law."

Not long after, the old and the young supported each other, staggered out of the market, and came to a deserted wilderness.

The child suddenly disappeared and turned into a little golden fox.

Seeing this, the old woman smiled, picked up the fox with one arm and hugged it in her arms, waved her sleeve so that it disappeared into the void.
