Li Zhixian was a civil servant with the most prestigious position, so he was the first to speak: "Brothers Siquan don't know that my mother is the most devoted to Buddhism. She has shown compassion to the poor and cherished their hardships for many years, repairing roads and bridges, and only Qinghe County has done so.
I don’t know how much alms were given in the temple. Yesterday, two star masters in Qinghe County came down from the sky with great joy. Before my son, who is the county magistrate, heard the details, my old lady already knew about it - alas! The mouths of those three aunts and six women,
It’s really tight and all-pervasive!”
Ximen Qing laughed and stopped Li Zhixian from talking: "Brother Gongji, don't say any more, I already know all about your troubles. Let us drink three cups and wait for a while, there will be a surprise!"
"Oh?" Li Zhixian, Xia Tixing and Zhou Shouwei were looking at each other in front of them. Suddenly a housekeeper came to the pavilion to report: "There is a visitor from the Ximen official family. He is holding a worship box and is waiting in front of the hall."
Li Zhixian understood three points in his heart, and immediately smiled and said: "But I don't know what the purpose of brother Siquan's high price is?"
Ximen Qing cupped his hands and said: "Brother, I had known that the old lady in the house was the first good-hearted person in Qinghe County. This first piece of merit cake would not be sent to Brother Gongji's house, but where would it be sent? So I died early."
The family members personally went to the chef's house there to wait. Once the cakes were ready, they brought them over while they were still hot. They asked the old lady to make an offering in front of the Buddha to be the first of my merits in Qinghe County. Wouldn't it be a great blessing for the mountains and the depth of the sea?
Shanqing?"
When Li Zhixian heard this, he was overjoyed and ordered his family members to quickly collect the cooking cakes to quench my mother's thirst for worshiping the Buddha. He also ordered people to collect a lot of money and gave it to Lai Wang as a wedding gift.
Zhou Shoubei and Xia Tixing saw that Li Zhixian had taken the lead first, and when they were scratching their heads and ears with envy, they saw Ximen Qing cupping his hands again and said with a smile: "Brother Nanxuan, Brother Longxi, I don't know what troubles you two have, so now
Let’s talk!” What else could Xia Tixing and Zhou Shoubei have to say? They immediately spoke out sincerely.
It turns out that Xia Tixing has a son, Xia Chengen, who is young but has a naughty nature. He doesn't like to study and just fools around. I asked the gentleman to tell his fortune, and he said that when this young master Xia was running wildly in the wilderness, he didn't know where he hit the wandering spirit.
, the gods were blamed for this debauchery. Xia Tixing had only one son in his life, and he loved him like a treasure. When he heard that his son was in trouble, he wished he could take his own life and burn incense to the Buddha. Suddenly, he heard that something happened in Qinghe County.
After having two star masters, and even more meritorious deeds, cooking cakes to save the world, how can we still sit still? So we asked our good brothers Li Zhixian and Zhou Shoubei to discuss it. The three of them each had their own needs, and they hit it off immediately, so they decided to invite Ximen today.
Qing went to the county government office for a banquet.
As for guarding Zhou Xiu, there was a personal pain. He married and took concubines, but he never saw a son and a half daughters under his knees. I don’t know how many talisman water, incense and ashes he ate, and I don’t know how many gods and Buddhas he worshiped. The women in the family
There was no movement in his belly. Although there was a lot of gold and jade in the house, what was the use? At the moment of despair, a star lord suddenly came to the world in Qinghe County, and the merit cake made Zhou Shouwei salivate. If it weren't for fear,
Having offended the gods, he had already snatched Wu Dalang into his commander's mansion and made special cooking cakes for him.
After Ximen Qing heard the two people's troubles, he suddenly remembered the passage about Xia and Tuesday in "The Golden Vase", and he said seriously: "Brother Nanxuan, brother Longxi, don't be impatient, wait until your brother is settled."
Sitting on the Grand Master's chair while holding the magic formula, Ximen Qing said to Xia Tixing after some pretense: "I already know everything about your son. It turns out that your son did not collide with any Shinto ghosts, but met a fairy fate.
Qinghe is in the east of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jiaomu Jiaoxing Lord from the Qinglong Qisu in the East came to secretly enlighten the young master's martial arts. Brother Longxi can quickly serve the earthly chef star at home to cook cakes. In the future, a star will be born.
.”
When Xia Tixing heard this, he was surprised and happy, and bowed to Ximen Qing repeatedly: "In that case, the meritorious cooking cakes of the local chefs will all be made by Brother Siquan in the future."
Ximen Qing extended his hand and agreed.
Then, he said to Zhou Shoubei, who was looking at him eagerly: "I have a maid in my family, whose surname is Pang, and whose name is Chunmei. When I was young, there were many maids in the Prime Minister's house, and they only said that this girl has a noble appearance, and she was born with a phoenix crown, Xia Pei, and Yin Zi. I have also been thinking about the fate of Chunmei, but I have never been able to figure it out. Today, when I met Brother Nanxuan, I found out that this girl's wealth actually happened in Brother Nanxuan's house."
Next to them, Li Zhixian and Xia Tixing opened their eyes wide. They didn't expect that today's treat would actually lead to a marriage.
Zhou Xiuye's eyes were wider than those of Li Zhixian and Xia Tixing combined: "This, this, this... what Brother Siquan means..."
Ximen Qing cupped his hands and said, "I have a maid, Chunmei, in my house. I would like to give it to Brother Nanxuan."
In the Song Dynasty, it was common for scholars to exchange concubines and maidservants. Although Ximen Qing despised this practice of treating women as playthings, in "The Golden Vase" Chunmei did give birth to a child after Zhou Xiu and lived a comfortable life. If Chen Jingji hadn't been a villain in the middle, Chunmei's ending would have been peaceful and happy. Since Ximen Qing vowed to change his destiny against the will of heaven, he must of course seize the opportunity to do good things for others.
Xia Tixing laughed and said: "Congratulations! Lao Zhou quickly agreed. Tonight, we will light up two red lights and take a small sedan to take that Chunmei to your room! Lao Zhou, what do you think?"
Li Zhixian, Ximen Qing and others were preparing to hear Zhou Xiu say, "Old Xia's words are just what I want." Who knew that Zhou Xiu said something unprecedented: "Old Xia's words are absolutely unacceptable!"
Everyone was shocked and stared at each other for a moment. Xia Tixing said: "Old Zhou, are you drunk too much? Why did you refute my proposal?"
Zhou Xiu waved his hand and said: "What does a few glasses of wine like cat urine mean? What I want to say is that although I am willing to accept what Brother Siquan has given me, this is not the way to accept it."
Li Zhixian asked with great interest: "Brother Nanxuan, what do you want?"
Zhou Xiu then pointed his finger and said: "Although Chunmei's status is low, she is from the mansion of the first star master in Qinghe. If I, old Zhou, don't give her a title in an upright manner, then who will I be?" ?Tomorrow, I will help Brother Siquan vent his anger. I will choose an auspicious time the day after tomorrow and I will personally go to Brother Siquan’s house to recruit people. Then I will choose an auspicious day to marry a girl and go out. This is the right thing to do!"
"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Li Zhixian cheered, "Although Brother Nanxuan always follows Brother Longxi's lead on weekdays, at the critical moment, he has a good idea! With such a good story, how can we not make up for it? Brother Long Xi, you will be the matchmaker for the man, and I will be the matchmaker for the woman. We must handle this matter in a lively manner!"
Zhou Xiu was overjoyed: "What Lao Li said is exactly what I want!"
The four of them looked at each other and laughed.
At this moment, the steward of the Li Mansion led Lai Wang in to kowtow and thank him. Ximen Qing ordered him to prepare two more cakes and send them to the Xia Mansion and the Zhou Mansion. Both Xia Tixing and Zhou Shoubei were very grateful.
After the guests and hosts had a good time, Ximen Qing could not help but feel proud on his way home: "All the civil and military personnel in Qinghe County have fallen into my trap!" Thinking that he would deal with Earl Ying and his gang of villains tomorrow, those fake IOUs would come in handy, so he hurriedly urged As soon as Ma entered his house, someone came to report: "Master, we have a distinguished guest who has been waiting for a long time!" This is exactly:
There are many puppets in the nest, and the demons have golden hooks in their mouths. But I don't know which distinguished guest is coming. Let's listen to the next chapter.
