If you ask who is the most surprised and happiest person in Qinghe County today? It's not Ximen Qing, but Wu Dalang.
Looking at the bunch of money that Lai Wang piled in front of him, Wu Dalang finally realized that he was also a small rich man in Qinghe County; when he heard Lai Wang say that Ximen Qing invited him to a banquet tomorrow, there would be Li Zhixian and He Ti
With celebrities like Xing and Zhou Shoubei in Qinghe, Wu Dalang realized that his status had been elevated from a rich man to a gentry, and the circles he kept in contact with were completely different.
Two days ago, he was still "three inches of Dinggu tree bark"! The contrast between this made his mind dizzy, and he didn't even know when Laiwang left.
When Pan Jinlian heard that Lai Wang had left, she came down from upstairs and was stunned when she saw the large amount of money. She had been a maid in Zhang Dahu's family since she was a child, and she had also seen dustpans and bamboo baskets filled with money like garbage, but that was
No matter how much money you have, it belongs to others, but today there is so much money piled up in your own home. There is nothing better than this in the world of true and false, false and true.
Reaching out to touch the green clams that were glowing under the lamp, Pan Jinlian couldn't help but murmur to herself: "Could it be that you are really a local chef?"
Upon hearing the three words "Di Chu Xing", Wu Dalang suddenly regained his composure, jumped up and said to Pan Jinlian: "Sister-in-law, you endured hardship when you married me. I think back then, when I searched this house, I didn't even find a decent piece of flower cloth."
I'm sorry I didn't find it for you! Now, I'm going to buy you silk clothes and gold and silver jewelry from Hangzhou, just wait for me!"
Seeing Wu Dalang saying that the wind is like rain, Pan Jinlian shouted hurriedly: "Stop!" Wu Dalang looked up at her, tears suddenly flowing from his eyes: "Sister-in-law, how many grievances have you and I suffered..." Her voice was choked with sobs, but
I can't talk anymore.
Pan Jinlian felt sour in her heart and hurriedly held it back. She just said: "Don't forget, you have to meet the big shots in Li Zhi County tomorrow. Let's put aside the silk jewelry for now. You go buy a piece of green cloth first.
It's only right that you have a few good turns of thread and let me tailor you some clothes to meet your distinguished guests."
Wu Dalang agreed, went out with money, and came back soon. In addition to blue cloth, he also bought all kinds of clothes, embroidered coats, gold hairpins, pearls and jade.
Pan Jinlian didn't even look at the clothes or jewelry, she just came to measure Wu Dalang's body size. Wu Dalang muttered: "Sister-in-law, I'm going to the banquet tomorrow and I'm rushing to make it today, but is it still too late?"
Smiling, Pan Jinlian said proudly: "I want you to see what your wife can do!"
At the same time, the handsome manor guarding Zhou Xiu was also decorated with lights.
It turns out that Zhou Xiu's wife is not jealous. When she heard that her husband was going to marry the maid from the first star lord's mansion in Qinghe, she was the first to be happy. If she could get the star lord's inspiration, she would give birth to a son.
If you are half a girl, you will have someone to rely on for life.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhou was even more concerned about this matter than Zhou Xiu. Today, Zhou Xiu went to the criminal yamen for trial. After she arranged the betrothal gift, she heard a Taoist selling divination on the street, so she invited him in to tell fortunes.
This Taoist’s surname is Wu, his Taoist name is Shouzhen, and his native place is Xianyou, Zhejiang Province. He has been a monk at Zixu Temple in Tiantai Mountain since he was a child, but he is a Taoist. After arranging three pieces of money, he came up with the hexagram "Fenghuo Family"
, **Yao moves, but the words are: Rich family, good luck!
Mrs. Zhou was overjoyed and thanked Taoist Wu profusely, and the Taoist left. When Zhou Xiu came back and told him, Zhou Xiu was also smiling from ear to ear, wishing he could come as soon as possible the next day.
The next day, Zhou's family swept the streets of their house clean early in the morning. When the auspicious time came, there was loud drumming and music. Zhou Xiu rode a white horse, and there were soldiers behind him who carried the betrothal gift and went to Ximen Mansion with playing and beating.
At that time, there had been a sensation in Qinghe, and everyone said that Mr. Zhou was really lucky to be able to marry the maid from Qinghe's reincarnated star master's mansion as his concubine. Some people even went to look for matchmakers and asked how many maids in Ximen's mansion were suitable for marriage.
On the contrary, those matchmakers were allowed to talk nonsense and handed over many losers in their hands.
In the Ximen Qing Mansion, Magistrate Li was riding in a sedan and He Tixing was riding a horse. They had already arrived. When Zhou Xiu dismounted in front of the door, he was greeted by He Tixing with good-natured ridicule and noise. Zhou Xiu just touched his head and smiled "hehe", but he didn't
Know what to say.
Not to mention him, Ximen Qing himself was also at a loss. He didn't know the complicated etiquette of taking concubines in the Song Dynasty. He was afraid that if he accidentally exposed any flaws and aroused suspicion, it would be bad. Therefore, during the ceremony, he took a step
He didn't walk much and didn't say a word. Fortunately, he rinsed his mouth with wine in advance and pretended to be drunk. Everyone could understand his puppet-like stupidity.
As soon as all the ceremonies were over, Ximen Qing immediately invited Li Zhixian, He Tixing, and Zhou Shoubei to the study. As soon as Zhou Xiu entered the door, he let go of the tension he had been holding for a long time and just shouted: "I'm bored too!"
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Today I will introduce someone to you." After saying that, he invited Wu Dalang out from the inner study.
Today, Wu Dalang is wearing a green shirt made by Pan Jinlian himself. It is cut by skillful hands and every stitch is done to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses. It makes Wu Dalang's figure appear taller. In addition, the self-confidence in his heart is growing vigorously. Facing Qinghe
In the third official position, although I couldn't be free and easy, at least I didn't make a fool of myself.
Several people have Wu Dalang's cooking cakes in their homes, but this is the first time they see Wu Dalang. However, his figure is famous in Qinghe, and everyone recognizes him at a glance.
Li Zhixian's eyes shone brightly, he stepped forward to meet him, bowed his hands and said, "Could this be the Master of the Earthly Cooking Star and the Martial Star?"
Wu Dalang said solemnly: "Exactly!" He kept Ximen Qing's instructions firmly in mind. If he was too nervous, he would simply look away and say the words to a young man, but he also looked like a star master.
Although Ximen Qing's teachings were memorized by heart, Wu Dalang still complained secretly when he put them into practice. After all, being able to say it and being able to do it are two different things.
Li Zhixian didn't care about this. He took Wu Dalang's hand and asked him to sit down. He sat down diagonally and then said respectfully: "Yesterday night, my mother had a happy dream. She dreamed of my father who had been dead for many years.
When I came home, I told my mother that he had been sinking in the underworld for many years and suffered endless sufferings. Fortunately, my mother offered merit cakes blessed by two star masters in front of the Buddha. With a little spiritual light, he disappeared.
For his sins, the Wheel-turning King has ordered him to go to that wealthy place and be reborn in a family where he has accumulated good deeds."
When Ximen Qing heard this, he almost laughed out loud. Unexpectedly, his lies not only deceived people, but also deceived ghosts. It must be that Old Man Li had committed too many sins during his lifetime, and the old lady also knew that her husband was a piece of cake.
What kind of material is that? Therefore, I am suspicious and secretive. I always feel that my husband is living in hell. After getting Wuhan University cooking cakes, he is devoted to salvation. It is not surprising that he thinks about it day by day and dreams at night.
But I heard Li Zhixian say again: "When my father left, he told my mother many times that if he saw the two star masters, he must respect them as elders - I had a dream last night, and today I met Wu.
Star Lord, isn’t this a destiny? I’m Lord Martial Star, please accept the worship of the good believer Li Dafu!"
Seeing that Li Zhixian was about to kneel down and kowtow, Wu Dalang had already forgotten Ximen Qing's teaching and shouted: "I can't do it!" He rushed to kneel down first.
When Li Zhixian saw Wu Dalang kneeling down first, he was shocked and hurriedly followed suit. Unexpectedly, he had been a county magistrate for a long time and had been kneeled by others more often than by his superiors. When he knelt down, he knelt crookedly and hit his head.
A big lump suddenly appeared on the leg of the table. Li Zhixian secretly complained: "How can you, Li Dafu, bear the gift of the stars in the sky? This is great, the Bodhisattva is starting to care!" He touched the pimple on his head.
Big bag, I just feel the pain to my bones.
At this time, Ximen Qing and others were busy pulling up Li Zhixian and Wu Dalang and sitting down again. Ximen Qing said: "In my house, no matter what the secular world, we all treat each other as brothers!"
Xia Tixing also said: "If you are sincere, don't kneel down and worship him for a moment."
Zhou Xiu patted the table: "What Lao Xia said is exactly what I want!"
Everyone sat down again. Although Wu Dalang was greatly frightened, after being knelt down by Li Zhixian, he somehow became more courageous. He sat firmly on the chair, hardened his heart, hardened his courage, and toughened his face to watch.
With Ximen Qing.
Ximen Qing then said: "I have something that I need to discuss with everyone!" This is exactly:
Planted as a plane tree today, it will be a phoenix nest tomorrow. But I don’t know what Ximen Qing has to say. I’ll listen to the explanation next time.
