19. Dad comes to the door
Thinking of Xu Da's warning, Wang Qilin asked: "Taoist Priest, what do you mean by this?"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said: "Don't say it, don't say it, the secret of heaven must not be leaked."
Xu Da curled his lips: "There are still frogs, why don't you talk about toads?"
The old Taoist priest looked surprised: "Hey, how do you know the name of the old Taoist?"
Xu Da was confused: "How do I know your name?"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard again and said with a smile: "Yes, how do you know that the old Taoist's name is Toad?"
"Your name is Toad?" Xu Da was annoyed: "Old man, how dare you tease me?"
The old Taoist priest pinched the seal and sang: "Wuliang Taoist Master, when has the old Taoist teased you? The old Taoist's name is Toad, thank you Toad."
Wang Qilin suddenly realized: "No wonder you drew a toad wearing a Taoist robe on the paper. It turns out that is your mark."
The old Taoist priest pinched another seal and bent slightly towards him: "Exactly."
Wang Qilin asked again: "What do you mean by 'three and a half months'?"
Xie Toad still shook his head, and Wang Qilin added: "I order you to answer!"
After hearing this, the old Taoist priest smiled helplessly and said, "Master Wang, why do you need to ask me? You don't know that your life is in danger?"
Wang Qilin's face suddenly turned ugly.
If he was still doubtful about Xu Da's words before, after Du Cao pretended to have amnesia and resigned and Xie Toad told fortunes, now he has no doubt about the curse of Xiaoyin of Fulong Township.
He joined Tingtian Prison because he wanted to live longer, but he ended up dying prematurely. What the hell is that?
Unlucky mother opens the door for Unlucky, Unlucky is home!
A few days ago, he joked that the shopkeeper of Juxianglou was walking on a narrow road, but it was better for him that he was walking on a dead road!
Since there was nothing going on in the countryside, he was ready to investigate the inside story of the curse.
Before he could take action, the day after collecting the toads, on the first day of April, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Wang Qilin and Xu Da were having lunch in the yard. He heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who is it?"
A gruff reply came from outside: "Your dad!"
Xu Da was so angry that he threw his chopsticks and wanted to go out: "Fuck you, you dare to come to my Tianjian to play gangster? Old Seven, don't move, let's see how I go out to get him!"
Wang Qilin smiled bitterly: "Don't talk nonsense, his mother is my grandma."
He went to open the door, and saw an old man with his head wrapped in an old sweat towel, wearing a gray homespun coat, and wearing straw sandals, his head curled up and grinning.
This is his father, Wang Liuwu, an old farmer from Dawang Village, Paifang Township.
Paifang Township and Fulong Township both belong to Jixiang County, but they are quite far apart, about sixty miles apart.
Seeing his father's tired appearance, Wang Qilin asked: "Dad, why are you here?"
Xu Da looked around confusedly, then rushed out the door.
Xie Toad was sitting at the window and laughed loudly: "Xu Lishi, you are so brave, you actually want to be Wang Xiaoyin's grandfather."
After saying that, he stretched out his incomplete right hand and waved his sleeve, and suddenly he appeared in front of the two of them: "Thank you, Mr. Toad, for meeting the father-in-law of the Wang family."
Wang Liuwu was stunned by this scene, and was in a panic and panic.
Seeing this, Toad waved his sleeves and disappeared again.
Wang Liuwu was amazed again and again: "My lord, your colleague, this master, he, he, Xiao Qi, this is a master! Who is this master?"
Wang Qilin said: "Your son's subordinate."
Wang Liuwu's eyes widened: "Your subordinate? Oh my God, what Cui Suaizui said is not nonsense. Are you really a Xiaoyin?"
Transportation in rural areas is inconvenient, and the official postman only makes one trip every half month. After Wang Qilin was promoted to Xiaoyin, he did not have time to spread the news to his family. However, the news was spread by word of mouth among the villagers, and the news had obviously reached their village.
Wang Qilin sighed and said: "Yes, I really made Xiaoyin. Dad, you came all the way to Fulong Township just to confirm this news?"
Wang Liuwu grinned and said: "Not only for this news, I also want to send you a letter. When will you be free to go home? The clan elder has given you a blind date, you have to go back and have a look."
Wang Qilin felt a headache: "My career has just started, and then I will get married?"
Wang Liuwu glared: "Of course, the sages say that when a man starts a family, you must start a family first."
He saw clearly that his son was wearing a black official uniform, and felt a little timid for a moment, so he added: "If you don't want to rush to start a family, then go back and take a look first. We can't refute the clan elder's face, can we?"
Wang Qilin nodded and said: "Yes, let's do that. I happen to have nothing to do these two days, so I'll take a leave and go home with you, just in time to send you back the salary I just paid."
Wang Liuwu was immediately overjoyed. He puffed up his chest and said, "This is so good. When you go home, dad will take you to the ancestral hall and to the ancestral graves to worship. Thank you for your ancestors' blessings. We have an official in the Wang family!"
Wang Qilin thought about Xiaoyin's curse and felt that his ancestors did not protect him very much.
There were leftovers on the stone table in the yard, a large bowl of white rice, a plate of fried chicken, a plate of braised eel and a bowl of pickles fried in lard. Wang Liuwu looked at it eagerly, swallowed and hurriedly turned around.
Make your head look like you haven't seen it.
My son is now an official, and his father cannot be embarrassed.
Wang Qilin felt a little sad and said: "Dad, please sit down first and I'll get you a bowl to serve your rice. You haven't had lunch yet, right?"
Wang Liuwu smiled dryly and said: "I have eaten, I have eaten. You see, your mother cooked sweet potatoes for me when I went out. We are poor and rich, but I am full."
At this time, a big black face poked his head in at the door, and Xu Da said weakly: "Old Qi, old uncle, let's go to Juxiang Tower to eat. I just went over and booked a table."
Wang Qilin said: "That's fine. I'll take care of you today. It just so happens that we have to go to Juxiang Building to discuss the compensation issue with the shopkeeper."
He called Xie Toad, and the four of them entered the Juxiang Tower.
Xie Toad met the shopkeeper. One of them was embarrassed and the other felt guilty. The shopkeeper knew that he had become a star, so he apologized first, saying that he was short-sighted.
Wang Qilin waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper, prepare a table for us. I am actually here to settle accounts this time. A few days ago..."
"We won't mention what happened the past few days, let's not mention it." The shopkeeper said with an apologetic smile, "I was wrong in this matter. I hope someone is blind and blind."
Xie Toad limped into the door and said: "I hope the shopkeeper doesn't need to be like this. The old man made a mistake and he will be responsible for it. Don't worry, I will compensate you for the value of the vegetables lost a few days ago."
you."
The largest private room had been reserved for a squire family celebrating their grandson's birthday, so Wang Qilin took the initiative to ask for a small private room.
As a result, they had just served food and wine, and the squire took the initiative to propose a toast, apologized profusely to everyone for occupying the large private room, and drank three glasses of wine in a row.
The waiter served the dishes neatly, including three dishes and one soup as usual, as well as a roast chicken and half a stewed goose, all of which were hard vegetables.
