After the battle against ghosts in Yanghua Village, Yuan Xudong, Lin Ziyan and a group of officials became friends. After a few familiar greetings, they invited everyone to have a drink at Yangse Tianxiang at noon.
The officials were overjoyed to hear this. After paying the gift money, three or five of them gathered together to discuss which dish in the mutton restaurant was the best. They all discussed until their mouths were watering and their souls flew away.
Lin Ziyan was unwilling to go with them, saying that he was here to add a wedding gift to Shen Qingqing, and would go to Yanghua Village to give Meng Yuan a gift later.
At a glance, the distinction is quite clear.
The little thin man stood behind him with a blushing face and interjected: "I want to go to Yanghua Village too. They are too fierce to eat, and I can't grab them."
The last time the mutton restaurant opened, he didn't get anything to eat and was so greedy that he almost chewed the sticks.
Yuan Xudong looked at his similar body shape to his own, and felt some sympathy for each other. He patted his shoulder and said: "Okay, then you can follow the wedding team to Yanghua Village later. No one will compete with you this time. You
You should eat more."
The little skinny man beamed, "It's necessary, I can eat three bowls of rice at a time!"
Lin Ziyan sighed and silently distanced himself from the two of them.
Next came the Qi family couple. They didn't need Yuan Xudong to entertain them at all, because as soon as they entered the house, Ning was attracted by the flowers and plants in the courtyard. While praising Meng Yuan for his greatness, he went around admiring the flowers.
Qi Xingtang, who loves his wife, naturally follows her everywhere.
The Zhang family is the only one left in the lower courtyard.
Yuan Xudong looked at the young man standing under the plum blossom tree and thought he looked familiar, but he couldn't pronounce his name. He was thinking about how to say hello when the man spoke first.
"Did Meng Yuan plant this flower?"
When the man spoke, his eyebrows were lowered, his tone was sad, and he had a somewhat depressed temperament.
Yuan Xudong's heart rang with alarm bells: Why does this guy speak sourly? He wouldn't be interested in Shen Qingqing, would he?
Although he couldn't stand Meng Yuan's behavior of bullying him as a single man just because he had a wife, but in front of outsiders, he had to stand up and support his brother.
Thinking of this, Yuan Xudong straightened his waist a little, "Not only the flowers, but also the red silk in the courtyard and the happy words on the windows were all made by Meng Yuan himself. He loves his wife, that's right.
"
In order to achieve his goal, he also specially emphasized the four words "his wife".
Zhang Chengyi is a smart man, so he naturally understands what he means, with a bitter smile on his face, "Young Master Yuan, don't worry too much, I just want to come and see her..."
"Forget it, I'm leaving. Please help Mr. Yuan bring a message to her, wishing her and Meng Yuan that they will be in love with each other, and Qin Se and Ming will always be of the same mind."
Without waiting for Yuan Xudong to answer, the man left after saying this, walking in a hurry and never looking back from the beginning to the end.
Looking at her son's lost state, Zhang's mother shook her head, sent him a gift, said hello and left.
"This brother is quite a magnanimous person."
Yuan Xudong muttered something silently and was about to turn around to entertain other guests.
At this moment, an old man with a white beard and ragged clothes suddenly appeared in front of the door. The old man looked up and looked at the two characters "Shen Mansion" on the plaque on the door, and happily crossed the threshold and walked inside.
When Yuan Xudong saw this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Beggars, don't come here. There is no food here. If you want to eat meat, ask the waiter for it."
The old man stopped, his eyes gradually widened, he looked at him in disbelief and said, "What do you call me?"
"You're a beggar... If you don't like it, maybe I can call you uncle instead." Yuan Xudong looked innocent.
The old man was so angry that his beard flew off. He raised the broken crutch in his hand and pointed it at his butt, "You are the beggar, and your whole family is beggary!"
"You brat, please listen carefully. I am the most invincible person in Taoism, and people in the world call him Xuan Xuzi, who is worried about seeing ghosts!"
Yuan Xudong covered his buttocks to avoid the attack and shouted: "I don't care if you are Xuan Xuzi or Shenxuzi. There is no food here. If you want to eat, go to the mutton restaurant!"
"I told you, I don't want food, I'm here to see Shen Qingqing, I am Shen Qingqing's master!"
Xuan Xuzi was speechless. Wasn't he just dressed shabbily, with his hair a little messy, and carrying a broken walking stick? As for treating him as a beggar?
Yuan Xudong didn't believe what he said at all, "Don't talk nonsense here. As her best friend, how can I not know whether Qingqing has a master?"
"Bullshit friend, I will tell Qingqing to break up with you later!"
"If you say we should break off the relationship, then we should break off the relationship. Who do you think you are?"
"I'm sorry daddy!"
Shen Qingqing was alarmed by the sound of chickens and dogs jumping outside, and went out to check the situation. As soon as she went out, she saw Yuan Xudong jumping up and down all over the yard like a monkey, and finally jumped directly onto the plum tree behind the courtyard gate.
Her master was like a vicious dog that had been hungry for 80,000 years, chasing after a piece of fat and howling and biting it.
"Master." Shen Qingqing tried to call her master over, but no one listened. She raised her voice and called again.
This time Xuan Xuzi heard it, turned to look at her and said, "Wait a minute, I'll catch this brat and beat him up."
Shen Qingqing: "..."
Sure enough, her master is still so unreliable.
She cleared her throat and said in a controlled tone: "Originally, I specially left two large cans of chicken with oil, just thinking of waiting for the master to come back and cook him a delicious meal. But as a result, they didn't put me as a disciple at all.
In the eyes.”
Upon hearing this, Xuan Xuzi immediately threw away his crutch and came over with a smile, "I want to eat noodles mixed with mushroom oil. The noodles must be rolled by you. I won't eat noodles rolled by others."
"Tomorrow, I'm not free today."
Shen Qingqing's face remained calm, but her heart was filled with joy. Fortunately, the master was here too.
She had no regrets about this wedding.
"It has to be tomorrow. You are getting married today, how can you cook?"
Xuan Xuzi looked her up and down with a warm smile, and finally nodded and said proudly: "As expected of my Xuan Xuzi's disciple, she is very beautiful."
Yuan Xudong, who was still hanging on the tree, weakly interjected: "Qingqing, is he really your master? I've never heard you mention having a master before..."
Shen Qingqing nodded, "It will be replaced if it's fake."
Yuan Xudong wanted to cry. Shen Qingqing's Taoism was already very powerful, so her master must be even more powerful, but as soon as they met, he offended this more powerful person.
The feeling of losing my thigh is really heartbreaking!
He cried and apologized to Xuan Xuzi, but unfortunately the latter ignored him and turned his head to the other side with a cold snort.
Yuan Xudong jumped down from the tree and walked to him to continue begging. Xuan Xuzi turned around and continued to hum.
You come and go for a few rounds, and suddenly a waiter hurried into the yard, shouting as he ran: "The groom's official is here! The groom's official is here!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I heard the faint sound of cheerful ritual music in the distance.
He said "Ouch" and quickly pulled Shen Qingqing back to the room. She checked her makeup one last time to make sure there was no stray hair before she covered her head with confidence.
