    love at first sight?

    An Xiu repeated the four words Xie Duan said and smiled.It was love at first sight again, how ridiculous?

    There is so much love at first sight in the world.The so-called love at first sight was nothing more than seeing her as useful.The snail girl is good-looking, she can cook, run a house, earn money and have children. If she is caught inside and out, isn't she the most desirable wife in men's minds?

    But why?

    She can cook and run a house, and she is willing to cook for others and run a house are two different things!

    He fell in love with her at first sight, so what?It's none of her business!

    Seeing An Xiu smiled, Xie Duan thought she was touched by him, and was very happy, and said affectionately: "Miss Anxiu, you are alone, and I am alone. Why don't we be together, I swear,I will treat you well forever."

    An Xiu smiled lightly and asked him, "Then how are you going to treat me well?"

    Xie Duan hurriedly said: "Use my sincerity. I swear, I will treat you with my sincerity and regard you as the most important person in my life."

    An Xiu shook her head and said, "What you said is too broad, I want to know your specific approach."

    Xie Duan thought for a while, and said: "As long as it is what the girl wants, I will do my best to satisfy you." It is still a false statement.It sounds touching, but it doesn't stand up to scrutiny at all, so it's just to coax a little girl who doesn't know the world.

    An Xiu asked him back, "But can you? Let me ask you, do you have savings now? How much money have you saved?"

    Xie Duan bowed his head, a little embarrassed: "My parents passed away early, and they left me little money. I live alone, and I don't have anyone I trust to help me plan. After a few years, there is not much left, only three taelsSilver, and another eight hundred and fifty copper coins."

    Oh, no money.

    An Xiu asked again, "Do you have land?"

    Xie Duan continued: "There were three acres of fertile land and five acres of Susukida. However, when I went to Fucheng Examination Institute last year, I was short of money, so I sold all the fertile land and used it as capital for the exam. So now there are only five acres of Susukida left."

    Oh, and not much.

    An Xiu asked again, "Do you have some good wood that you can use to build a house?"

    Xie Duan continued: "Before my parents passed away, they left me with more than a dozen thick and good trees. It's just... when the money was not enough these years, I sold them off and on."

    Oh, and there is no wood for flipping a new house.

    An Xiu asked again, "Do you have a cart? Whether it's a horse cart, an ox cart, or a donkey cart?"

    Xie Duan said again: "I had a yellow ox, which can be used for plowing or pulling carts. But... I think that there are only five acres of Susukida left in my family, and I can handle it by myself.The cow is also very labor-intensive, and it was sold last year.”

    Oh, and no car either.

    An Xiu nodded, and concluded: "So you have no money, no land, no cars, no cattle, and nothing. Under such circumstances, don't you think that what you said is good to me has no confidence at all, it is simplyArabian Nights?"

    Xie Duan said: "But...but I can assure you that my heart for you is true, and I love girls from the bottom of my heart. Believe me, I will love you more than any man in this world!"

    "Miss An Xiu, please marry me, will you?"

    Anxiu smiled lightly and shook her head: "No, I don't believe you."

    "I don't believe in a man whose parents left you savings, fertile land, good wood, and Yellow Ox, but squandered them all in just a few years, and turned a good farming and studying home into a poor farmer's home!"

    "You are not capable or qualified to love me like this."

    Xie Duan quickly found a reason: "Miss An Xiu, I didn't have a plan before, and the money was really too much, but that's because I'm alone and haven't married yet. As long as... as long as I marry a wife, the familyWith a virtuous housemate, I will take care of the outside and you will take care of the inside, I believe our life will get better soon!"

    "Trust me, give me this chance to prove myself, okay?

    ?"

    An Xiu almost died laughing at his words.

    What a perfect excuse, a man is not good, that is not good, this is ignorant and that is a bastard, it doesn't matter, isn't it that he is just a child and ignorant?As long as he gets married and has a family, he will naturally mature and everything will be fine.Marrying a wife is like a panacea!

    And if a man still has the same virtue after marrying a wife, then it must be a bad wife who can't control her husband.A virtuous wife and husband have few misfortunes, but if there are too many misfortunes, then the wife must be unvirtuous!

    Anyway, as long as a man marries a wife, no matter how big a mistake he makes, he will never be blamed, it's all his wife's fault!

    Therefore, marrying a wife is really omnipotent.

    No wonder!

    Who will be the tool man?Who is going to be the backer?Who's going to do the panacea?

    Roll rough.

    An Xiu said: "Xie Duan, if you really love me, then prove it to me. You just said that as long as it is what I want, you will do everything you can to satisfy me. Is it right?"

    Xie Duan nodded vigorously: "Of course, my Xie family is a farming and studying family, and I will never tell lies."

    So An Xiu pointed to the snail girl shell in his hand: "Now let me tell you, I want to go back to the river. You give me back my little house." The little house is her snail girl shell.

    After hearing this, Xie Duan hugged the snail girl's shell even tighter: "I'm sorry, Miss An Xiu, but this is the only thing I can't promise you. Because I like you, I don't want you to leave."

    An Xiu said: "This is what you call love? You want to stay even though I don't want to? Is your love for me just holding my little house so that I can't go home?"

    "Your love is really domineering and terrifying!"

    Xie Duan was turned pale by her unceremonious accusation, but he still bit the bullet and refused: "I'm sorry, but I can't help it. I'm really a happy girl. If I can't do it, I just let it go like this."If you leave, you blame me, and I can't follow your wishes."

    "Miss An Xiu, please give me a chance, please? I believe that one day you will feel my sincerity towards you. At that time, I think you will definitely forgive me for my reckless behavior at the moment."

    An Xiu asked: "Then what if I have never been able to feel your sincerity towards me, and have never loved you? At that time, will you let me go?"

    Xie Duan didn't answer.

    Apparently he meant no more.

    Seeing this, An Xiu didn't want to waste any more words with Xie Duan.She chanted the spell silently, and stretched out her hand towards the snail girl shell, and the snail girl shell returned to her hand as if alive: "I want to leave, no one can stop me, I never need your permission!"

    After saying that, under the extremely shocked eyes of Xie Duan, An Xiu returned to the snail girl shell as quickly as possible, and rolled into the well in the courtyard with a light roll, and returned to the river through the groundwater.

    Huh, it's safe.Although the quality of this body is much worse than those of the ones she traveled through before, but the soul is An Xiu after all, dealing with an ordinary poor scholar, escaping to a safe place is still a piece of cake.

    As for Xie Duan.

    It took him a while to realize that the daughter-in-law he got flew away, and he was going crazy!

    He took the bucket and fetched water desperately, and almost emptied the well, but he couldn't find the snail girl again.

    He ran to the river to fish again, and spent days and nights without sleep or food, but he returned without success.

    After half a month like this, he finally gave up and had to continue to live a life of hard work in the fields every day to get enough food.

    But when An Xiu returned to the river, he found that his body inside the snail girl shell had changed a lot.The skin color becomes whiter, almost transparent; the limbs become softer, and they can easily move in various angles and movements.Most importantly, she felt that the meridians in her body were no longer as stagnant and chaotic as before, but seemed to be dispelled by the faint light, and became slightly clearer!

    This is not the first time she has practiced immortality, and she soon figured out the reason for this change.

    It seems that her cultivation did not go crazy before, and her fainting was not a backlash caused by forced self-cultivation, but just like "

    Put it to death and then live again", the previous obsession is "death", and now the meridians are clear and bright is "life".

    She finally found a chance to break through!

    An Xiu remembers that the goal of the snail girl is to cultivate into a real fairy, soaring to the heavens one day, instead of being trapped forever in the mortal world where the aura is thin.

    It's just that the snail girl's aptitude is chaotic, no matter how much she practices, she can only improve in cooking, but she has no achievements in other areas.In the original plot, just like An Xiu, Qiang became obsessed after practicing, returned to his original form and was taken away by Xie Duan, and then a series of things happened.

    It's a pity, what the snail girl didn't know was that, for her, that obsession was an opportunity to successfully achieve her goal, and it was the beginning of breaking the original bottleneck!

    If she can wake up in the river, she will find that her body has changed, and she will find that the road to success is no longer hidden in the mist, but has revealed a small corner.

    At that time, she had already grasped the opportunity to cultivate into a fairy, and she had great luck.

    Therefore, when the old Taoist priest with white beard and hair met her in the original plot, he called her "Fu Luo".

    It's just that the snail girl failed to seize this opportunity. She was hit hard by that madness, and she completely gave up on the way of cultivation, and simply stayed in the mortal world with peace of mind.And this opportunity finally transferred to the person closest to her - Xie Duan.

    So, after Xie Duan married the snail girl, his life became smoother and smoother like stepping on a straight ladder.In just six years, he first passed the academy examination and became a scholar; then passed the provincial examination and became a juren; finally passed the palace examination and became a fellow Jinshi with the lowest ranking!

    Is it really him who learns well and is capable?Before, it was only because of being trapped by life that you were depressed and frustrated, trapped in the countryside to farm?

    No.He just took advantage of the snail girl's luck, so that everything goes smoothly and he must pass every exam!

    Thinking of this, An Xiu couldn't help shaking her head.What a pity, what a pity.If she guessed correctly, this encounter was the love robbery of the snail girl.If she can make it through, she will be able to ascend; if she can't, then it will take advantage of the people around her... Xie Duan can live a new life even after death, what a blessing this is!

    As for the old Taoist priest with white beard and hair... he should not be an ordinary person, maybe he came from the sky?Those gods, Buddhas, and Bodhisattvas like to come down and set disasters on people.To put it nicely is a test; to put it bluntly... that's all, don't say it.An Xiu thought.

    But this time if it was her, she would definitely not miss such an opportunity.The end of the mythical world is ascending to immortality, this sentence is quite reasonable.

    Thus, An Xiu began to keep her ears shut and focus on her cultivation, just like Bai Suzhen's time in that small world.

    The snail girl was originally a little fairy girl in the river, and she can be regarded as a fairy body. Once she finds a way to cultivate, it will be much easier to cultivate than Bai Suzhen, jade-faced fox and other demon bodies.Coupled with the fact that the soul body inside now belongs to An Xiu, the cultivation is even more powerful, and the progress is advancing by leaps and bounds.

    In the past two years, An Xiu felt her body was getting lighter and lighter, and she felt as if she was floating in the air.Just wait for the time to come, and you will be able to soar.

    This day will come soon.

    The river suddenly split in two, and an old Taoist priest with white beard and hair suddenly appeared in front of An Xiu.He stroked his long beard and said with a smile on his face: "Miss An Xiu, congratulations, you have successfully survived the tribulation of love. Let's go, Lady Queen Mother is still waiting for you in the sky."

    An Xiu recognized him at a glance, and said with a smile, "So it's you, Taibai Jinxing, we meet again." The old Taoist who was muttering in front of Xie Duan, the one who artificially set up the catastrophe for the snail girl, was Taibai Jinxing.

    Taibai Jinxing laughed loudly: "It's me. Let's go, when you are not in heaven, Lady Queen Mother often misses you."

    An Xiu nodded, looked at the ring on his hand suddenly, and said in a daze, "Huh? Why didn't I use this mustard space from the beginning to the end? I remember Lady Queen Mother said that this thing can be used in this mission."Great use, why is it useless?"

    Taibai Jinxing said with a smile: "Because the snail shell itself of the snail girl is another mustard space. It's just the mustard space.

    The subspace is not only her blessing, but also her calamity.Because of the mustard space, her snail girl's shell can continuously produce rice, grain, meat and vegetables, which is inexhaustible, which is her greatest reliance; but also because of the mustard space, her cultivation in other aspects is difficult and difficult, requiring a lot of effort.It takes a lot of perseverance and determination to break through."

    "In her previous life, she failed to survive the catastrophe, and ended up miserable; but the heavens have the virtue of being good at life, and you helped her, and she finally got her wish."

    "But don't worry, your mustard space can still be used in the future world. Alright Miss An Xiu, if you have anything to say, let's go back to the sky and let's go. Don't keep Lady Queen Mother waiting."

    An Xiu let out a "hmm", followed Taibai Jinxing back to the heavenly court, and went directly to the palace of the Lady Queen Mother.

    Lady Queen Mother chatted with her, and the old acquaintance Seventh Fairy ran over and said with great interest: "Miss An Xiu, go, go, big sister is going to open Yaochi Realm again, let's go and see the situation of Xie Duan together.".” Blinking at An Xiu.

    An Xiu: "..." Oh, you are so gossip.

    Seventh Fairy: "Are you going?"

    An Xiu: "Go!" She also likes to eat melons and watch movies!She is also curious about Xie Duan's ending.

    So the two arrived in front of the Yaochi, and when the big fairy saw them coming, she nodded with a smile and cast her magic power to turn the Yaochi into a flat and clear mirror.The town is at Xie Duan of Fucheng, which is five hundred miles away.

    Xie Duan's state at this time can be said to be extremely bad, much worse than when An Xiu first met him.

    An Xiu looked at the house Xie Duan lived in and the clothes he was wearing, and said strangely: "What kind of luck did he have to live in Fucheng, and the food and clothing are not bad? But since the conditions are good, what is his condition?"And so haggard?"

    The Seventh Fairy smiled and said, "Miss An Xiu, when you were in the mortal world, you only cared about cultivating in a snail girl shell, isolated from the outside world, so you had no way of knowing what happened to Xie Duan."

    An Xiu smiled and corrected her: "It's important. Even if I knew about it at the time, I wouldn't spend my precious time and energy on him."

    But now, it's the vacation time after completing the task, so it's different.Just watch it relaxed and happy, and enjoy it.Let's see how hard Xie Duan will live after losing the opportunity of the snail girl, hehe.

    So the Seventh Fairy said a few words to the Great Fairy, and the Great Fairy smiled, and asked the Yaochi mirror to present what happened to Xie Duan in the past two years in a fast shot.

    It turned out that after An Xiu left, Xie Duan couldn't find her, and couldn't bear the hard life of farming every day to fill his stomach, so he wanted to marry a good wife to change his life.

    In his opinion, wouldn't it be the same if he could marry a wife who could cook, take care of housework, work hard and be very virtuous?It doesn't have to be a snail girl.

    He is still very confident in his charm.Otherwise, in the previous life, how could he be listed as a son-in-law by the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Mr. Li?

    So, Xie Duan found a matchmaker to marry him.

    I have to say that Xie Duan's appearance is quite good, and Xie's family is a family of several generations of farming and studying, with a good reputation, and he has been in the power field for more than 20 years in his previous life, and his demeanor looks likeSo what happened.

    So even though he was poor, he was quite popular once the news of his marriage was released.

    So, he picked and picked again, and finally he took a fancy to the two girls.

    One is Xiao Cui, who was born in poverty and looks ugly, but works quickly and cooks delicious food, and is very gentle and obedient to him.

    The other is Xiao Hong, who was born rich and rich, rich and tempered, but beautiful and charming.

    Xiaocui and Xiaohong, who to choose is a big problem, Xie Duan is worried.

    He couldn't bear Xiaocui's diligence, ability, gentleness and consideration, and Xiaohong's beauty and wealth.It is very reluctant to choose which one to give up the other.

    Oh, why aren't they alone?Why can't these good qualities grow in the same person, just like the snail girl in the previous life?

    He struggled and struggled, and finally decided, no one will give up!It is common for a man to have three wives and four concubines

    Well, he thought, he was definitely not the only man in the world who was attracted to two girls at the same time.

    So he said tailor-made sweet words to both Xiaohong and Xiaocui.The general idea is, I love you, but I also love her, so I hope you accept her for me, and the three of us will build a happy family together.

    Xie Duan thinks this is very good.In this way, he owns Xiaohong and Xiaocui at the same time, just like owning Luoniang again.He didn't think it was wrong for him to do this, because he combined them into one and regarded them as one person.He is actually very dedicated.

    However, Xiaohong and Xiaocui are not the snail girls in the original plot, they are not lovestruck.

    After hearing Xie Duan's words, Xiaohong immediately slapped Xie Duan: "Get out!" and ordered the people below not to open the door for him again.

    After hearing Xie Duan's words, Xiaocui's eyes turned red, she bit her lip, and her face was pale.

    Then, she choked up and said: "Brother Xie, don't come to me again, I misread you after all. I thought I found a man who really appreciates me and loves me, but I just found out at this moment, You don’t love me at all, you just love my hands!” and broke up with him.

    There is no impenetrable wall in the world, and Cuibai Town is not big, so soon this incident spread widely.As a result, no one dared to propose a kiss to Xie Duan anymore, and when he went out to work, there were always people pointing at him and saying all kinds of unpleasant things.

    In desperation, Xie Duan had no choice but to trek hard to try his luck in a remote Fucheng, and suffered a lot on the way.

    After finally arriving in Fucheng, Xie Duan thought that Fucheng was so big and had so many opportunities, and he thought that with his own talents and learning, he could find a job as a private school teacher and live a good life easily.But it never occurred to him that he had learned a lot in the classics and history collections of his previous life, but he had no fame, and he was not even a scholar. He was just a mere boy, who would want to invite him?There are a lot of scholars in Fucheng, why should he be considered as a young boy?

    There was no other way, so he thought of another way, planning to find a shopkeeper or an accountant.He thought, with his talent and learning, wouldn't it be a piece of cake to do this?

    However, the shopkeeper didn't just stand at the counter in a daze, had to be greeted and sent, and what to say when he saw someone, and the accountant didn't just do simple addition, addition, subtraction, and his arithmetic ability was not enough at all.In short, he tried a lot, spent all his money, and finally got nothing.

    So, he could only use the last and most useful trick, to eat soft food!

    This time he was much more sober.He no longer extravagantly wants to marry a good wife who is good at everything, he only has two requirements.

    One, female; two, rich!

    Just let him live a good life with ease and prosperity.

    In this way, the only daughter of the pig butcher in the east of the city fell in love with him, and the pig butcher recruited him to be his son-in-law.

    Since then, he has lived a life without worrying about food and clothing.

    However, it is only a matter of food and clothing.

    The pig butcher treated him several times meaner than his father-in-law, Master Li in the previous life; the pig butcher's daughter treated him even if he didn't agree with each other, and his wife Li Baozhu in the previous life couldn't be better than her.good wife!

    Seeing this, An Xiu couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect this Xie Duan to rely on marrying a wife in the end, no, living in a married couple."

    "Then is he willing?"

    The Seventh Fairy smiled and said: "Of course he is not reconciled. No, he flattered his father-in-law and his wife for several months, and finally got them to agree to him to take this year's government examination. He is counting on the examination to be a scholar."

    "And in another month, it will be the day of the exam in his house."

    An Xiu said, "I don't know if he can pass the exam."

    The big fairy clicked on the mirror of Yaochi: "You can have a glimpse of the future."

    So, they saw some clips of Xie Duan future.

    He passed the exam.Although it is the lowest ranking, it is regarded as a scholar after all.It can't be compared to being among the best in her previous life and enjoying the treatment of a scorpion, but at least she has achieved fame.

    The pig butcher's family was very happy, and held a big feast to celebrate, selling pork with him as a sign, and bluntly said that after eating their pork, their brains would become smarter and they would earn a lot of money.

    Xie Duan was also very happy, eager to take part in the second year's provincial examination.

    However, the butcher refused verbally.Scholars are only in the lowest ranking, and they are admitted by chance, let alone Juren?

    Xie Duan didn't believe in evil, so he insisted on taking the test.The pig butcher thought that he had indeed made more money by relying on his reputation as a scholar, so let him take the exam for fun. Anyway, he can't do anything, so he just thinks he can't be idle when he finds something to do.Anyway, the test center of the township examination is also in Fucheng, so there is no need to spend extra money.Then no longer object.

    And Xie Duan took the exam for more than 20 years.

    Every time the rankings are released in the township examination, he loses his name.Every time Sun Shan lost his name, the pig butcher would taunt him severely, and the pig butcher's daughter would scold him severely for many days.Even Xie Duan's children were ashamed of this father who was stupid in the exams all day long.

    But a blind cat can run into a dead mouse, and Xie Duan took the exam more times, and finally hit a big luck.

    This year, Xie Duan was forty-five years old.It's another year of township exams, and it's time for another year's township exams to release results.

    The pig butcher has prepared words to ridicule his son-in-law, the pig butcher's daughter has already figured out how to flatter and serve her so that he can spare him, and the children have also considered where to play in the next day so that they can escapeThis difficult time.

    Then, the good news came.

    "Congratulations, Mr. Xie, for the high school promotion!" A group of people beat gongs and drums.

    Xie Duan: "Is it fake? You're kidding me?"

    The person who announced the good news: "Of course it is true. Congratulations, Mr. Xie, you are the master of juren."

    "Look at you, you're all overjoyed!"

    Xie Duan: "Really?"

    The person who announced the good news laughed, "It's absolutely true!" He showed him the good news, intending to ask for a reward.

    Then Xie Duan saw his name.

    Then Xie Duan passed out and became unconscious!

    The pig butcher's daughter was able to pour water into his mouth, and the doctor showed him when he fainted, and finally woke him up, but she was dumbfounded and didn't say a word.

    Xilin hurriedly looked at the pig butcher: "Master Xie is usually most afraid of you, father-in-law, or you..."

    The pig butcher became ruthless, and slapped Xie Duan on the face. Xie Duan finally spoke, but he repeated one sentence: "I won the exam, I won the exam!"

    He was completely stupid!

    A scholar who was good at writing stories witnessed Xie Duan's madness and sighed with regret. After returning home, he recorded it eloquently and passed it down to future generations.Later generations read this article, and they all feel the hardships of the imperial examinations of the predecessors!

    End of play.

    The mirror of Yaochi has also been restored to its original state.

    Anxiu raised his forehead.What kind of broken world is this? As soon as she left, didn't she bother to make up the plot?Directly copied the fragments of "Fan Jinzhongju"!When she didn't read much, didn't she read this article?Well, she really didn't read it all.But she had heard about it.

    The seven fairies watched it with gusto: "It's so interesting, so fun!"

    "Miss An Xiu, when are you going to start the next mission? We think that the missions you do are super fun and much more exciting than the storybook."

    "We often come to Yao Chi to watch you do tasks!"

    An Xiu: "..." You guys are really too gossip.

    But at the same time, a handsome immortal dressed in white kept staring at An Xiu, with a light of surprise in his eyes.

    Xiu'er, I finally found you.

    I have had a hard time finding you.

    This time, I will never let you go.Wherever you go, I will always follow!
