After listening to Master Dagui's words, Feng Yi shook his head and said: "Uncle, you can't say that. Maybe they respect Master Tianlong very much. Isn't it strange that the master is here to congratulate him on his 100th birthday?"
Ao Tianlong nodded in agreement: "What my nephew said makes sense."
"Fellow Taoist Dagui, the two of us have participated in such things from time to time in our hometown. Are you worrying too much?"
Zhuge Kongping and the First Hero asked.
Dagui curled his lips and said: "Who knows? Don't blame me for not reminding you. I have heard that babies are often lost in the town and surrounding villages, ranging from a few days to more than one year old."
"Lost baby?"
Feng Yi frowned, if it wasn't kidnapping, then it was evil spirits causing trouble.
The problem is that if you want to kidnap, you can't just kidnap these babies. Three to five year olds are also included.
"Dagui, don't talk nonsense."
Ao Tianlong glared at him and said: "Do you have any evidence? It will bring shame to the Huo family for nothing. This goes against the original intention of us practitioners."
That being said, does the loss of the baby have something to do with the Huo family?
Everyone was even more confused.
"What do you mean there is no evidence? The matter of missing babies has been around since the late Qing Dynasty, and it has continued to this day. It has happened intermittently for hundreds of years. Other families are weak and sick and waiting to die before they can live more than half a century. The Huo family all live long lives. Isn't there some connection between this!"
Dagui had an angry look on his face: "You can't say they are good people just because they spend a small amount of their money to do some so-called good deeds. Maybe they have a guilty conscience."
"Look, you've been talking for so long and it's still just speculation."
Ao Tianlong shook his head and said to Feng Yi and others: "That's what Dagui is like. He doesn't want others to have a better life and is jealous of others."
Ao Tianlong's words don't sound wrong. Is there a hatred of the rich? It exists in every era. It's normal.
Moreover, what Dagui said is indeed far-fetched. Just because someone lives longer doesn’t mean that someone has something to do with losing a baby, right?
But Feng Yi felt a little weird.
It is natural to make money and enjoy yourself, and no one can say anything about spending your own money.
The problem is, the Huo family is so rich but lives a pretty poor life, and it is rare to hear of someone doing good deeds involving their own family.
Even Principal Gu, who is crazy about building schools, donated extra money to build the school while ensuring his own daily needs.
Of course, this kind of behavior is much better than countless people, and it is worthy of praise.
"Two uncles, how do the Huo family usually do good deeds?"
Feng Yi thought slightly and asked.
"On every first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, rice and noodles are made, and a porridge shop is set up to give away free porridge. This time, for the old lady's 100th birthday, every family has been given silks and satins, and everyone has bought new clothes. It's a big deal."
Ao Tianlong obviously had high praise for the Huo family.
The entire town plus the surrounding villages and towns has a poor population of nearly a thousand people. Each person is given some rice, flour and cloth, which is a considerable expenditure.
But if the Huo family can be passed down for hundreds of years, they will definitely have excellent business. Upon inquiry, it turns out that most of the nearby farmland, livestock, gold and silver pawn shops belong to the Huo family.
And every harvest season, the Huo family will take 10% of the profits.
From this point of view, this bit of rice flour cloth is too loose. To put it bluntly, "take it from the people and use it for the people" makes sense.
If nothing else, the Huo family's wishful thinking was really good.
Use the taxes paid by the people to subsidize the people, and you don't have to pay for anything and still get a good reputation.
It seems that something is really wrong with the Huo family.
After thinking about this, Feng Yi left in no hurry. He thought for a while and said: "Uncle Tianlong, we are here by fate. We have a centenarian on his birthday. Can we go and see it then?"
Ao Tianlong did not doubt that he was there, and nodded with a smile: "Of course, the Huo family attaches great importance to this time. These shops will be closed tomorrow afternoon, and then tables, chairs, benches, tableware and chopsticks will be placed in various streets. When the auspicious time comes in the evening,
The dishes will be placed on the table and everyone can eat. You can leave when you are full, come back when you are hungry, and there is no problem in packing the leftovers home."
"Oh, what a generous move."
Isn't this the same as the running water mat in later generations?
"Can they keep up?"
Zhuge Kongping was speechless when he heard such a thing.
"All the restaurant chefs in the town are covered. Whether it's meat, vegetables, or even oil and seasonings, all are supplied by the Huo family. They will definitely be busy."
Xiaoshuang added on the side.
"It's just like the Chinese New Year."
Madonna couldn't help but sigh.
"Yes, it's Mrs. Huo's 100th birthday. Such a happy event is really no different from celebrating the New Year."
Ao Tianlong said with a smile.
Dagui pouted at the side: "On such an occasion, your Uncle Tianlong was invited to the Huo Mansion to have dinner with the Huo family. How can he be unhappy about such an appearance?"
Ao Tianlong shook his head dissatisfied: "Dagui, you can't always have a problem with the Huo family just because they didn't invite you to dinner."
"Who has any objections? I won't go anywhere tomorrow night, I'll just stay at home!"
Dagui hummed and said, "I don't care if there's anything delicious about this meal.
Besides, I have just given birth to a daughter, who is of the right age, and I am really afraid that those young people will take the opportunity to do harm to my daughter!"
Dagui's temper could no longer be persuaded, so Ao Tianlong ignored him.
Now others noticed. Dagui and Ao Tianlong were senior brothers, but the senior brother was respected as a guest of honor, but the junior brother was not invited by the Huo family. No wonder he had such a big opinion.
But if you open an incense and candle shop and deal with dead people, no matter how powerful you are, no one will hire you.
This is a 100th birthday, and it’s not like the old man hanged himself because he was tired of living.
Feng Yi burst out laughing after learning the inside story, and his doubts about the Huo family disappeared a lot. The words of a person with prejudices and interests, even his uncle, should not be taken too seriously.
People live longer, people make money, and there is no real evidence to prove that they have done bad things, so it is better not to jump to conclusions easily.
"You are all the best in our practice. If you want to come to the Huo family, you will be most welcome."
Ao Tianlong smiled and said: "Tomorrow morning I will go to Huo's house and tell me that we will open a separate table and we will sit together."
"How does this make."
Zhuge Kongping was quite embarrassed.
"Mr. Kong Ping, it's okay."
Xiaoshuang's eyes turned into crescent moons and she said with a smile: "My father is still quite famous in Wosonggang. The Huo family all respect him and will not refuse his request."
Feng Yi saw this and smiled and said: "Let's not refuse. These are all well-known figures. They will be treated as guests wherever they go. Since we have decided to attend this birthday banquet, it is better to be more formal."
Seeing Feng Yidu say this, the others no longer refused, and agreed in unison, saying that they would make some small magic tools to ward off evil spirits tonight as a birthday gift for tomorrow. Ao Tianlong was quite satisfied with their cooperation.
He was the one who called people here, and if none of them said anything, even though the Huo family wouldn't say anything, his face wouldn't look good either.
The only dissatisfaction was of course that it was so expensive. I had a dark face all night and was very unhappy.
