Chapter 452 Weird Wedding “Senior Brother Qin…” The third watch of the day. When Qin Yao returned to Datong's bunk with the mask, Feng Leiyudian immediately jumped off the bed and greeted him in unison. “Are you all waiting for me?” Qin Yao said with a smile. "Hmm." Feng said, "I'm a little worried about you." Qin Yao laughed, put the fox mask on the table, and waved his hand: "Don't worry, I'll be fine." "Senior Brother Qin, this mask..." Lei asked softly as all four of them were attracted by the mask on the table. The story told by the housekeeper was too sinister. When he saw Qin Yao coming back with a mask, he would feel strange in his heart. “Master Jiang said that the abbot should wear a mask during the wedding to avoid being seen by some special guests.” Qin Yao explained.
Four people: “…” This thing is very strange. Qin Yao walked to the bed and sat down, and then said: "Master Jiang is not low in strength. If nothing happens, we will be under his surveillance whenever we go out of this door. Go to sleep and wait for the opportunity. That’s it.” The four of them nodded silently and climbed onto the bunk. The next morning. Master Jiang took a stack of invitations, called the butler in the courtyard, delivered the invitations to the other party, and ordered: "Take the five of them to the mountain to distribute the invitations. Be sure to distribute all the invitations before dark." “Yes, sir.” The steward lowered his head and bowed his body, looking respectful. Mr. Jiang nodded, waved his hand and said, "Go." Only then did the butler dare to stand up straight, and then strode to the five people who were setting up the table. He raised his head and said, "Five of you, follow me." "But the table hasn't been set yet..." Qin Yao said. “It’s not too late to lay out the invitations when you come back. Take this and follow me.” The housekeeper stepped up and put the pile of invitations he was holding on Qin Yao’s chest. Qin Yao held the invitation with one hand, shrugged, and followed each other out of the mansion with his four brothers. Soon, there was a green hill lined with tombstones. The housekeeper smoothed the wind-blown hair on his forehead, pointed to the five people behind him and said, "You have already read the names and other information on the invitation. Follow the invitation to find the tombstone. Don't make a mistake, otherwise you won't be able to find the tombstone." It’s said that there are five of you, and even the housekeeper will be punished.” Invite ghosts and gods to get married... This operation really stunned the brothers. After a long time, Feng couldn't help but ask: "Steward Wu, we are new here, and we don't know much about the local customs. I would like to ask, what is the meaning of inviting ghosts and gods when getting married, and worshiping in the middle of the night?" “I know it’s offensive, but you still ask?” Butler Wu glared at him and shouted: "Stop asking about useless things and go and work for me quickly. The work here is finished, and you have to go back and clean up the tables, chairs and benches."
The five people immediately dispersed, each one holding a stack of invitations, comparing the information on the invitations with the characters on the tombstone, and put down the invitations one by one... In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon, and everyone who had just returned from sending out invitations saw two tables placed at the gate of Jiang Mansion. The tables were filled with masks. At this time, Qin Yao finally understood why the Jiang family had a room full of masks. It turns out they are all prepared for ghosts and gods! "Continue to clean up the table. After cleaning up, the four of you will leave Jiang's house first and find a place to spend the night. Ayao, please take a closer look at the process. Don't dare to make mistakes." The butler stretched out his hand to them. He waved in front of him and said loudly. “Senior Brother Qin, the more I think about it, the more my scalp feels numb. What do you think is going on with the Jiang family?” Shao Qing was setting the table when Feng quietly sneaked into Qin Yao's side. Qin Yao: "The more you think about it, the more troubles you will have. Don't worry, all the secrets will be revealed one by one as time goes by." time flies. As the moon rises, the night breeze is slightly cool. One after another, black figures holding red invitations came to the Jiang Mansion. They spontaneously picked up the masks on the table and fastened them on their faces. From the proficiency shown in their small movements, it can be seen that this is not the first time for them to participate in this kind of wedding. Inside the mansion. In the main hall. Qin Yao changed into a black gown and wore a fox-face mask on his face. He held the process card tightly in his hand. He glanced up and saw Master Jiang coming over with a wax corpse in his arms and carefully placing it behind the screen. on the chair. "Is the process okay?" Mr. Jiang asked as he turned around and picked up the towel on the table to wipe his hands. In front of the screen, Qin Yao nodded slightly, pointed to the courtyard where everyone found a place to sit, and said to the crowds of masked people: "Don't you need to greet them?" "No need." Mr. Jiang said, "The cook will serve the food later, and they will leave after eating." Qin Yao was silent for a moment and said, "Mr. Jiang, can I ask a question?" “You want to know why you don’t invite the living instead of the dead?” Mr. Jiang asked. Qin Yao nodded silently. “Let me tell you a story.” Mr. Jiang said calmly: "There was once a poor boy who got an amazing craft and made more money in one month than the whole village made in three years. So he became distracted and told everyone how great he was. , how rich he is. Half a month later, he went out and when he came back, he found that his wife and children had been killed, and all the property in the family had been looted. He frantically asked the villagers what happened, but no one knew. " As he spoke, he looked directly at Qin Yao: "Who do you think killed his whole family and looted all his property?" Qin Yao was speechless. Never test human nature, because there is never a lower limit to human nature! “Do you understand now?” Mr. Jiang said again: “The human heart is far more vicious than ghosts. The villagers are so soft-spoken when I say it, and they may turn around and scold me. Who made me rich? Who made me rich? But these ghosts are different. If they eat my food, they owe me a favor. The reason why my Jiang family can maintain its inheritance and even be wealthy for generations is all due to their support.
Otherwise, let alone a prodigal son in the family, as long as one of the descendants is incompetent, the family property will be eaten alive by those people who are like hungry wolves. " Chin Yao: “…” In the afternoon, he even thought about many conspiracy theories, but he never thought that the most fundamental reason lies in human nature! “Sir, the bride has arrived.” Later, the butler, who also wore a mask on his face, came to the lobby and bowed. “Let the matchmaker lead the bride in alone, and then tell the kitchen to start serving food.” Mr. Jiang sat firmly on the chair next to the wax corpse and gave instructions. “Yes.” The butler responded and left in a hurry. Not long after, as figures with their feet on the ground brought dishes one after another, an old woman dressed as a matchmaker held a girl in red in her hand. Without looking away, she crossed the yard tremblingly and came to the door of the main room. : "Mr. Jiang, I have brought you the bride." “Thank you for your hard work.” Mr. Jiang said lightly. The matchmaker breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and left without saying a word, and even started running after walking out of the door. “Why is she so scared?” At that time, the wedding procession stopped outside the mansion, and one of the young people asked softly. "Don't ask too many questions. It's no good knowing too much." Beside him, a big man reached out and patted him on the head, and then shouted to everyone: "Go quickly, go quickly..." “Ah Yao, it’s time to start.” In the main room, Mr. Jiang said in a low voice. Thanks to Mr. Guo Ya5919 for the tip, thank you~
