Chapter 22 The wedding in Gaojiazhuang, Zhu Bajie got his wish
"The banquet is not ready yet? I want to have a good drink with the elders and the wise son-in-law today." The senior official turned around and urged the subordinates.
"Sir, the banquet has been prepared. However, this elder is a monk. Is he preparing a vegetarian banquet?" Gao Cai replied respectfully.
"It's my negligence. Let's prepare a vegetarian banquet quickly for the elders to eat. The prepared wine and food will be served first. My good son-in-law and I will have a good time."
Hearing that Mr. Gao said that he was a virtuous son-in-law, everyone present smiled with joy. Zhu Bajie was even more happy that he couldn't find anything to say. Finally, he finally got what he wanted.
Only Miss Gao was as shy as an ostrich, hiding behind her mother and refusing to stand out.
"There is no need to go to such trouble. Master and disciples like us can also enjoy this banquet. Guests do as the host does and do as the Romans do. How dare we bother the donor to prepare a vegetarian banquet." Tang Sen smiled faintly, quite like a virtuous monk.
"This, this, elder, won't this ruin your practice?" Mr. Gao is still a little hesitant. Now he regards Tang Sen as his benefactor and nobleman. If it weren't for Tang Sen, he might not even be able to save his life. Where would he go?
Find a fairy son-in-law.
If Tang Sen's practice was ruined because of a banquet, then his own sin would be huge!
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. "The wine and meat passed through the intestines, and the Buddha stayed in his heart." Well, it's just wine and meat, it doesn't matter."
"You old man, you know nothing about things. How could my master be so strict in his cultivation? On the way here, we were tired of eating bear paws, steaks, etc. If our cultivation really deteriorated, how could we not stick to this rule?"
Not even close!" Sun Wukong was impatient next to him. The old man was so verbose. Can he still eat this meal?
"My father-in-law, just do what the master says. The master is a great monk and there won't be any problems." Zhu Bajie also advised him.
In recent years, in order to leave a good impression on Gaojiazhuang and his father-in-law's family as being thrifty and thrifty, he rarely eats meat or wine. This time, he and his father-in-law settled their differences, and there was a banquet to enjoy, which he had been craving for a long time.
"Wukong." Tang Sen felt a little embarrassed. Why did this monkey say everything to others?
This makes other people think of me! Really, I need to teach this monkey a lesson in the future.
Tang Sen thought.
"Hahaha, that's fine. The elder is indeed an eminent monk. He is different and doesn't stick to trivial matters." Mr. Gao was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly revealed it with a haha.
"It's you, Bajie, today is your wish. It's your happy day, so you can break the precepts, but you must abide by them in the future." Tang Sen turned his head and looked at Zhu Bajie, who was beaming with joy, and solemnly told him.
The joy on Zhu Bajie's face visibly dissipated and turned into a sad look.
He turned around and was about to beg for mercy, but when he saw Tang Sen's stern eyes, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.
If you don’t have the ability, you have to quit! Eight quits, eight quits.
Thinking of this sentence in his mind, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but feel excited.
"Disciple, please remember your master's teachings." He straightened his face and replied respectfully.
Tang Sen nodded with satisfaction. This Zhu Bajie has wisdom and can be taught.
Everyone was seated, wine and delicacies were served one after another, and servants were waiting on them.
It was a banquet, with people drinking and drinking, chatting and laughing, and the host and guest enjoyed themselves.
Let's have a feast.
"Gao Don, do you like these two disciples of the poor monk? If you don't have any objections, let's decide on the marriage today." Tang Sen suggested to the senior official while he was in the mood of drinking.
"Hahaha, I have no objection to such a good son-in-law." Gao Yuanwai is also eager to decide on this marriage as soon as possible, and it will change later. Marrying a god is a beautiful thing that many people can't dream of.
.
"Then why don't we choose a different date and arrange their marriage today?" Tang Sen asked tentatively.
"Are you a little too hasty? It's just three matchmakers and six appointments. You have to choose an auspicious day anyway." Gao Yuanwai was shocked by Tang Sen's impatience. This flash marriage was not this flashy.
It is simply a "light wedding", a marriage at the speed of light.
"It's all just red tape. As for the auspicious days, I have seen it. Today is a rare auspicious day."
It's not that Tang Sen has to be so anxious, but since he has accepted Zhu Bajie as his disciple, the master should consider his disciples. It is better to do this sooner rather than later, otherwise things will change later. The journey to the west is a thousand miles away, and it can only be done.
If you walk with your feet, you may not be able to come back in three to five years. You just decided on the matter and saved yourself, the second disciple, from worries, except for the knot in his heart.
"It's not that the poor monk is in a hurry, it's just that we can't delay the study of Buddhist scriptures in the Western Heaven. Our master and disciple will set off tomorrow morning at the latest. If we miss this opportunity, we will have a long journey to the Western Heaven, and I'm afraid something will happen to our disciples." Seeing that Gao Yuanwai was still hesitating,
Tang Sen advised again.
Finally, Gao Yuanwai made up his mind.
"Well, since today is a good and auspicious day, let's get married today."
Since the wedding was happening today, the time was quite urgent. The high-ranking official hurriedly ordered people to take action, including sending invitations and decorating the auditorium.
He also asked his wife to decorate the wedding room and help her daughter, who is still too shy to show her face, to dress up. The bride must not be too shabby.
Zhu Bajie was dumbfounded as he listened, as if he was stunned by the huge surprise. He thought that the master could help him get engaged to Miss Gao. He thought that after traveling to the west, heaven would pardon him and Cuilan and get married again.
But I didn't expect that the master would get it right in one step and they would get married today.
Everything seemed like a dream, and the huge surprise made Zhu Bajie feel unreal.
A huge emotion arose in his heart. This newly recognized master helped him realize his greatest wish.
He knelt down with a "Plop" sound and kowtowed three times respectfully, but said nothing.
There is no need to say anything. At this moment, silence is better than sound.
Tang Sen naturally understood. After standing up straight and receiving these three noises, he helped Zhu Bajie up.
"You and I, master and disciple, don't need to say thank you."
"Hurry up and help. We don't have enough manpower. Today is your big day." Zhu Bajie left respectfully and started working together.
"Wukong, Xiaobai, let's go and help too. Today is your junior brother's (senior brother's) happy day. The whole family supports each other." Tang Sen called to Sun Wukong and Xiaobailong who were nearby and joined in the help.
…
Time was really tight, and it wasn't until dusk that the arrangements could be completed, which made everyone very tired.
Fortunately, the layout is completed.
The invited guests took their seats one after another, and the news that Zhu Bajie was not a monster but a fairy spread like wildfire. Many people came, all wanting to enjoy the joy of this fairy wedding.
"Have you heard that Mr. Gao's son-in-law is not a monster, but a god in the sky?"
"Your news is out of date. I have a nephew who works in Gaofu. He said that this fairy son-in-law is a general in heaven, which is amazing!"
"I also heard that this uncle of the Gao family is not even afraid of the Jade Emperor in the sky. He has a great background."
"Let me tell you, he was such an honest young man when he first came here. He worked hard, was honest and willing, and was polite. How could he be a monster?"
"Who says it's not true? I don't know who is telling this nonsense. It is said that a good god turned into a monster. If I had known about it, I would definitely not spare him!"
"I heard that this god once helped us eliminate the monsters in the back mountain and drove away the bandits in the front mountain. Is it true?"
"I guess it's true. In the past few years, bandits from Qianshan often came to Zhuangzi to burn, kill and loot. Then they suddenly disappeared without knowing what happened."
"My poor child was killed by them. Those damned robbers. I have to thank my uncle Gao very much for avenging my poor child."
"Wouldn't that mean that Master Gao and his family have become immortals?"
"Master Gao is so lucky to have a fairy son-in-law."
Everyone was talking a lot, but they were all envious of Gao Yuanwai and praised Zhu Bajie.
In sharp contrast to the shouting and killing in the past, gods and monsters? A name can determine many things.
Mr. Gao, who was sitting in a high seat in the hall, was beaming with joy. He looked at the envy in the eyes of the guests and listened to the compliments in their mouths. He was very proud of himself.
"Everyone, everyone, I am happy to have a son-in-law today. I invite all my fellow countrymen to witness it. I hope you will eat well and drink well, and don't be formal." Unable to resist, the senior official stood up and spoke.
However, there is a sense of showing off and pride that cannot be hidden.
"Congratulations, Mr. Gao, on your wonderful son-in-law. He will definitely be a shining star in the future." Everyone congratulated together. It was more than just a shining lintel. It was as if smoke was rising from the tombs of our ancestors. With a fairy son-in-law, the family tree had to be redone.
Write.
After accepting the compliments from everyone, Mr. Gao sat down with a smile.
Sitting next to him was Tang Sen, who looked helpless...
Unable to resist the persuasion of Zhu Bajie and everyone else, Tang Sen had no choice but to take this position.
But I can't find anything wrong with him. After all, once he is a teacher, he is always a father. He is the one who brought about his disciple's marriage. It makes sense for him to sit in his father's position!
However, it always looks a bit awkward for a monk to sit in this high place where people get married.
However, the people in the hall did not have any objections. They had also heard that this was an eminent monk from the distant Tang Dynasty. He had great supernatural powers and profound Buddhist teachings.
Even the fairy son-in-law of the Gao family cannot beat him, so he must be a fairy too.
Everyone only looked at me with admiration, so how could I dare to criticize you?
Finally, let’s get to the point.
The auspicious time has arrived!
Zhu Bajie, dressed in red, led Gao Cuilan, also dressed in red, into the auditorium.
Zhu Bajie returned to his appearance as a marshal in the sky, with majestic appearance and extraordinary majesty, and once again won a lot of admiration.
This was the way he looked when he first met Haitang. The pig demon was just an accident. This was his true appearance. He didn't want to leave any regrets in Gao Cuilan's heart.
Originally, his magic power was not enough, so it was only with the help of Sun Wukong and Little White Dragon that he could maintain it like this. However, it only lasted one night, and he had to change back to the ugly pig demon appearance at dawn.
"Worship heaven and earth."
The two newlyweds bowed to heaven and earth.
"Two bows to the high hall."
He was supposed to bow down, but Zhu Bajie took Gao Cuilan and knelt down, and kowtowed respectfully.
"Husband and wife pay homage."
"The ceremony is completed! Send it to the bridal chamber."
Seeing that the wedding was over, Tang Sen let out a sigh of relief. He had been a virgin for two lives. How could he do this? Sitting in this high hall, he felt uncomfortable all over. Now it was over.
Follow the senior officials out and greet everyone.
There was laughter and laughter in the hall, but there was silence in the bridal chamber.
The two of them were relatively speechless, and they could only hear each other's "beating" heartbeats.
"Lady."
"Ms. sir."
"We finally got married."
"Hmm." He moaned as lightly as a mosquito.
Finally, the two people fell on the bed.
The candle shadow shakes red and is turned into a red wave.
Not to mention it was a romantic affair overnight.
