Chapter 83 Hu's
Zhang Bang, a rich family in Hebei, hired a gentleman. A scholar came to recommend himself. The host came out to meet him. The scholar's words were exquisite and cheerful. The host was very satisfied and hired him on the spot.
The scholar said to himself that Mr. Hu is knowledgeable, opens a museum and teaches apprentices, and is dedicated to his work. But there is a disadvantage that you go out from time to time and come back late at night. When he returned, he did not knock on the door. He either went through the wall or went to the ground. His magic power was extraordinary. The master secretly suspected that he was a fox demon, but because Hu's words and deeds were modest, polite and never showed malice, he was not afraid and still treated him politely.
Hu Shi heard for a long time that the master's daughter was beautiful and wanted to marry her. He mentioned this matter to his master many times. The master pretended to be deaf and dumb and repeatedly refused. On this day, Hu left for an excuse. The next day, a guest came to visit and rode a donkey. The host welcomed into the house. The man was in his fifties, with clean clothes and elegant temperament. He was self-evident: entrusted by the Hu family, he came to the door to propose marriage.
The master was silent for a long time and said, "I can't make friends with Mr. Hu. Why should we get married? What's more, the little girl has already been married, and the little old man really can't help.
The guest said, "Why does the old gentleman have to open his eyes and tell lies? Ling Yan clearly treats the boudoir, why do you refuse people thousands of miles away? After asking again and again, the master just refused.
The guest was unhappy and said, "The Hu family is also a big clan. Isn't it worthy of a gentleman's daughter?"
The master said bluntly, "I don't mean anything else. It's just that the shemale has a different way." The guests were furious when they heard the words, and the host was also angry. The two of them each had a long face and were ready to punch each other at any time.
The guest took the lead and reached out to grab the host's chest. The host was agile and easily avoided. He shouted, "Come on, eviate me." Several servants took broom sticks and beat out the guests with random sticks. The guests fled in confusion and hurriedly lost the donkey in the compound and didn't care about taking it away.
The donkey had a long tail and raised its ears, and its body was as dark as ink. Its body was huge. The owner came forward to tease. The beast did not respond. He gently pushed it, and the donkey fell to the ground, shook its body and turned into a grass worm.
Since the guests left, the host was worried that Mr. Hu would come to take revenge and was secretly on guard. The next day, a large number of fox soldiers came to provoke, cavalry, infantry, bows and arrows, spears, and horses were hissing and fierce. The owner was too scared to show up. The fox demon threatened to set fire to the house, and the owner was even more afraid.
At the end of the crisis, the servants loyally protected the Lord, shouted out, threw flying stones, fired sharp arrows, and fought with shemales. They hit each other, and each had their own damage. After a long time, the fox demons were discouraged and timid, and scattered one after another. The knives, guns, swords and halberd were thrown all over the ground. When they picked them up, they saw that they were just a pile of sorghum leaves.
The servants laughed and said, "The fox demon is poor, but that's all." He is bold in his mouth, but he dares not relax his vigilance in private and defends strictly.
The next day, everyone patrolled in batches. Suddenly, a giant fell from the sky, about three meters high and six feet around his waist. He waved a big knife in his hand and killed him one by one. The servants fought back with bows and arrows. After several rounds of arrows, the giant fell to the ground and died. He showed his original shape, but he was a scarecrow.
After two victories in a row, the servants gradually relaxed. This morning, the master went to the toilet. Suddenly, the fox soldiers gathered outside, bowed and arrows, and all the arrows were shot on his buttocks. The master was afraid and hurriedly shouted for help. The servants came to support when they heard the news. The fox demon had already escaped. The master was so hateful that he pulled out the arrows on his buttocks one by one. In the sunlight, it was clear that it was not a deadly arrow, but it was all changed by wheat straw and thatch.
After a month, the fox demon came to harass from time to time. Although it was not harmful, it was martial law every day, and the owner also felt a headache.
On this day, Hu personally led a group of demons to make trouble. At first sight of the master, he was a little embarrassed. He hurriedly avoided in the crowd and did not dare to show his face. He called his name among the owner. Hu had no choice but to come out.
The master said, "I think I'm not thin and there is nothing to neglect. Why do I have to fight to the death when we meet each other?" When the fox heard the words, they didn't agree. They bent their bows and wanted to shoot. Hu Shi waved his hand to stop it. The master came forward and took his hand, invited Hu into the house to talk, served him with wine, and said calmly, "Sir is a reasonable person. I hope you can understand me. You and I have a good relationship. Don't I really want to marry you? It's just that sirs, carriages, palaces, and servants are very different from human beings. How can a little girl get used to getting married rashly? What's more, as the saying goes, 'a twisted melon is not sweet'. This is what I said. It's a choice. It's up to you.
When Hu Shi heard the words, he bowed his head and said nothing. He looked ashamed and embarrassed. The master smiled and said pleasantly, "The past made him drift away with the wind. We are still good friends. If the prince doesn't dislike it, the little old son has a young son. He is fifteen years old and hasn't married yet. He is willing to be a relative with his husband. I don't know what you think?
Hu Shi said happily, "Okay, that's it. I have a younger sister who is fourteen years old and not ugly. Let's get married today.
The two looked at each other and worshipped each other for a few times, which was a relief. The master ordered his men to set up a banquet and entertain a group of fox soldiers and fox demons. A few glasses of wine fell into their stomachs, and the shemales were all happy. The master asked about Hu's hometown and was ready to propose marriage. Hu smiled and said, "Don't be so troublesome. When my little sister becomes an adult at the age of 15, I will personally send her to get married." Drink half a bottle of wine on the table, get drunk and go away.
A year later, the wedding date was approaching, but there was no trace of Hu. The family suspected that he had broken the contract. The host smiled and said, "No, Mr. Hu is a modest gentleman, and he will definitely believe it." In a blink of an eye, half a year later, Hu finally brought her sister to visit on this day and said, "My sister has grown up. She only needs to choose an auspicious day and can marry the young couple at any time."
The host was happy, and the two families set a date to celebrate the wedding. On the night of the appointment, Hu beat the gongs and drums, rode a horse and a sedan chair, and escorted the girl to the door. The bride's dowry is rich and full of houses. The fox girl has a beautiful face, a virtuous and filial personality. When she visits her parents-in-law, she behaves generously and is deeply loved by her master.
Hu and his younger brother sent him off. The younger brother talked elegantly and was good at drinking. The two brothers drank until dawn.
After the new daughter-in-law entered the door, she predicted that the harvest would be good or bad. She usually lived at home, and it was up to her to choose and distribute everything in an organized manner. The Hu brothers also often visit their sisters. After a long time, everyone met the fox demon.
