Chapter 1488: Refining the Heart in the Mortal World (32)
On the day when Wang Zhenzhen was full moon, Wang Chen set up a flowing water mat.
A whole hundred tables!
There is certainly no room for so many wine tables in the Wang family. In fact, most of them are placed outside, from the gate along the alley to the street outside.
Neighbors and people, no matter high or low, no matter men, women, old or young, as long as they want to eat, they can sit down and eat, and there is no need for a gift of half a copper coin. They can just wipe their mouths when they are full and leave.
The food on the table was eaten one plate after another, and the steamed buns and snacks were basically enough.
For his daughter's full moon banquet, Wang Chen invited most of the restaurant chefs in the county and spent more than a thousand taels of snowflakes and silver on the ingredients!
This flowing banquet also caused a sensation throughout Qing'an County, and countless people heard the news and came over to join in the fun.
Of course, not everyone can enjoy the banquet, but as long as they come to congratulate them, no one will leave empty-handed.
Everyone admired it.
I had only heard of people giving birth to a son and throwing a big feast, but I didn't expect that Wang Chen and Wang Xian Cheng would hold such a grand ceremony after getting a daughter.
How much you love your daughter!
Wang Zhenzhen's full-moon banquet was so grand that many years later, many elderly people in Qing'an County still talked about it and praised how fragrant and delicious the steamed buns they were given that day were.
Running water mats were placed in the streets outside his home, while Wang Chen's own home was used to entertain real guests.
Almost all the wealthy gentry in the county came to congratulate him with generous gifts.
Some still come uninvited, licking their faces and asking for a pair of chopsticks.
Wang Zhenzhen, who was still in her infancy, received dozens of golden locks of longevity, with a total weight of more than three hundred taels!
She was truly born with a silver spoon in her mouth.
As for his first granddaughter, Ye Xiangming also loved her very much and directly gave her a pair of top-quality jade pendants heirloomed in his family as a gift.
He held Wang Zhenzhen in his arms and teased her with a cheerful smile, completely losing the dignity of a county magistrate.
"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!"
Just as the family was enjoying themselves, a loud voice suddenly reached everyone's ears.
The little baby in swaddling clothes was startled, his mouth pursed and his brows furrowed, and he was about to cry.
Ye Xiangming was immediately furious and immediately returned his granddaughter to Ye Dai, preparing to show off the loud noise.
Who is so ignorant?
However, when he saw a Taoist priest who had just come in from the gate, his expression became solemn.
The opponent was wearing a green Taoist robe, with white beard and hair, long flowing sleeves, and a fly whisk in his hand, giving him an air of immortal Taoism.
Behind this white-haired veteran was a middle-aged man with a stern expression.
Ye Xiangming's heart sank.
Because the white-haired old man has a picture of the White Clouds and Universe tattooed on his chest.
This is the emblem of Baiyun Temple!
Baiyun Temple is one of the three great Taoist temples in Nanli Kingdom. It has been famous for hundreds of years. All the temple owners are powerful practitioners and have won the trust and respect of the imperial court.
An ordinary Taoist priest in Baiyun Temple went out for a trip, and the local officials treated him with courtesy.
And this white-haired old man is extraordinary at first glance.
As the saying goes, those who come without kindness will not come, and an important person from Baiyun Temple suddenly came to Qing'an County, and even came to Wang Chen's daughter's full moon banquet, which made people suspicious.
"The poor Taoist Baiyun watched Zhang Xiaoshan and met County Magistrate Ye and County Magistrate Wang."
The white-haired old man walked straight in front of Ye Xiangming and Wang Chen, and waved his whisk to give him a graceful salute.
??????55.??????
"It turns out that Zhang Guanzhu is here. I am rude!"
Ye Xiangming was horrified and immediately returned the greeting: "Please sit inside."
Zhang Xiaoshan is the current temple owner of Baiyun Temple, and Baiyun Temple has been granted a title by the Nanli imperial court for hundreds of years. The temple owner has a status of the third rank, which is much higher than that of his seventh-rank county magistrate.
Wang Chen saluted calmly and said, "I have met Guanzhu Zhang."
Although the master of Baiyun Temple looked kind and kind-hearted, he felt instinctive vigilance in his heart.
You must know that Wang Chen killed a Taoist priest from Baiyun Temple before!
"You two good believers don't need to be polite."
Zhang Xiaoshan smiled slightly and said: "I am presumptuous in coming here today, so please forgive me, but on a whim a few days ago, I calculated with my fingers that a Taoist son would be born, so I came here to find out the opportunity."
His face was filled with sincere joy: "I didn't expect this born Taoist to be the daughter of Wang County Cheng!"
As soon as Zhang Xiaoshan finished speaking, the originally bustling courtyard fell silent.
The reputation of the master of Baiyun Temple is already extremely deceiving. He never expected that Wang Chen's daughter would turn out to be a natural Taoist in the mouth of this Taoist.
What a great blessing this is!
Zhang Xiaoshan looked at Ye Dai, who was standing next to Wang Chen, and said softly: "Mrs. Wang, can I ask this poor man to test the bones of your daughter?"
Although Ye Dai is an ordinary person, she was shocked by the title of the master of Baiyun Temple, but as the mother of a child, she instinctively felt something was wrong and subconsciously took a step back.
Wang Chen blocked his wife and daughter behind him and said calmly: "Zhang Guanzhu, if you come to have a wedding banquet, my family and I will welcome you. As for anything else, it's better to skip it."
At this moment, Wang Chen was 100% sure that this old Taoist priest had come with bad intentions!
"Um?"
Zhang Xiaoshan didn't expect that Wang Chen would be so disrespectful to him, and immediately lowered his face: "Wang County Cheng, you really want it, Pindao is doing it for your own good!"
What Wang Chen is least afraid of is falling out with others: "Thank you, Guanzhu Zhang, go back to where you came from."
"You are not welcome here!"
The atmosphere in the Wang family compound was almost solidified into ice.
No one expected that Wang Chen would not give any face to such a big figure as the leader of Baiyun Temple.
And they even put on a tit-for-tat stance!
Is this going crazy?
Zhang Xiaoshan's face was extremely gloomy, and the old Taoist priest said sullenly: "Wang County Cheng, I wanted to save some face for you, but I didn't want to reveal the truth. Since you are so ignorant of praise, I can only tell the truth.
Got it!"
"Your daughter..."
He pointed at Ye Dai and shouted sternly: "According to Pindao Tianji's calculations, it is calculated that this is the reincarnation of the Han Demon, which is the source of disaster and will definitely cause chaos in the world in the future."
"The poor Taoist is trying to make a living for the people of the world. He brings this scourge back to Baiyun Temple and casts spells to suppress it. If you dare to stop it, you are the enemy of the world!"
The leader of Baiyun Temple was arrogant with his beard and hair, and his voice was fierce. The momentum he suddenly erupted was extremely frightening, and his roar sounded like thunder in everyone's ears.
Only Ye Dai, who was protected by Wang Chen, and the baby in her arms were not affected.
Many people showed signs of pain and felt their heads were buzzing.
They were even more horrified in their hearts.
The reincarnation of Drought Demon? The source of trouble?
If these two big hats are taken off, will Wang Chen's daughter still be alive?
