It was just that they owed 10,000 gold coins due to the bet. The three key people remembered something one after another. They remembered what the personal guards said when they came back to report that Niu Youdao got a box of gold coins from Feng Ruonan's military camp...
The three of them were a little afraid to continue thinking about it. Could it be that the money to buy the bride price was borrowed from Feng Ruonan?
Everyone stared at Niu Youdao with their eyes wide open. Niu Youdao was embarrassed to be stared at by the three people. He smiled forcefully and said: "Why are you looking at me like this? I have worked hard to run errands, and the good things are also enjoyed by the prince. Don't you
Will you let me pay back the money?"
It's not a matter of not paying back the money. Shang Chaozong was a little worried and said: "Master Tao, what did you borrow the money for?"
Niu Youdao spread his hands and said, "What else can it be used for? Of course it is to buy gifts for the prince to propose marriage! Prince, don't worry, I didn't use a penny more of this money. Whatever gifts I bought, the guards kept detailed accounts.
I won't take advantage of this."
"..." The three of them were dumbfounded and truly speechless. The purpose of this money was indeed something they didn't want to accept. You actually borrowed Feng Ruonan's money to buy betrothal gifts and went to Feng Ruonan's house to propose marriage to Feng Ruonan? Why is this so a bit weird?
What a detour! What you did was too outrageous. No matter how poor we are, we can’t afford to lose that person!
The mood of the three of them is understandable. Although they were born in the dignified Prince Ning's palace, no matter how downcast they were, they were still nobles at heart. No matter how poor they were, they would not do such shameless things.
Shang Chaozong was a little dazzled and felt like he was about to faint. For the sake of the overall situation, he just married Feng Ruonan. But if he really wanted to marry Feng Ruonan like this, how could he be embarrassed to face Feng Ruonan's love in the future?
Shang Chaozong was really about to cry, and said with a grimace: "Master Tao, since you want me to marry Feng Ruonan, how can you borrow Feng Ruonan's money to buy a bride price?"
Niu Youdao was startled and said: "I asked you for 10,000 gold coins. You called me poor and you said you couldn't get it. How can I, a monk who just came down from the mountain, have the 10,000 gold coins I have to advance you?"
Shang Chaozong almost whined: "Then there's no need to borrow her money!"
Niu Youdao glared and said: "My lord, you can stand and talk without hurting your back. I am not familiar with this place. I can only have some relationship with Feng Ruonan here. When I get to Guangxi County, who can I borrow from if I don't ask her?"
Go? Find someone else. Who knows who I am! Ten thousand gold coins is not a small amount. Can others lend it to me if I ask them to borrow it? Of course, it is not impossible to find other people to get these ten thousand gold coins. Ask around
It would be easier for a wealthy family to steal and rob, but we came to Quang Ngai County to do business, not to cause trouble. Who knows what the background of those rich families can gain a foothold in troubled times, and who knows what the other party sees.
What is the origin of the family nursing home? Is it appropriate to act recklessly? Wait until I find out these details in detail before I start. Who knows if Feng Lingbo is still in the county? Feng Lingbo is also a busy person with a lot of things to deal with, so he won’t
Waiting honestly in the prefect's mansion for me to propose marriage. It's normal for people to come and go when they have things to do. It's difficult for us to keep track of their movements under our current conditions. When I get the money, if they leave the county and are gone, things will still be fine.
I don’t know how long it will take. The sooner our current situation is resolved, the better. We can’t afford to delay it!”
The three of them were speechless after hearing this. It seemed to be the case, but they all felt awkward. How could they have the nerve to meet the Feng family tomorrow?
Shang Chaozong said feebly: "Since we have decided to use one hundred thousand crow generals as a cover, it actually doesn't matter whether we give a betrothal gift or not. Feng Lingbo is not so short-sighted as to value this betrothal gift. Whether things can succeed or not has nothing to do with this betrothal gift.
You really don’t need to borrow Feng Ruonan’s money.” He was the one who was most embarrassed to meet Feng’s family!
Niu Youdao was surprised and said: "My lord, do you think I am willing to borrow this money to make such a big noise? My lord, Feng Lingbo is a prince of the same size, can anyone see him if he wants to? My lord, what is your situation?"
I understand, is Feng Lingbo willing to have a relationship with you? Do you really think that this marriage is so easy to mention that someone can marry your daughter to you just by talking? Can Feng Lingbo see me without making any noise?
?As long as I declare my home, I am afraid that people will drive me out of the city. Is it possible that when I meet someone casually, I will tell someone about the hundred thousand crow generals? Can I just talk about this without confirming the person to whom I am complaining? Besides,
Well, the original purpose was to make some noise, to let Feng Lingbo know that there is no way to hide this matter, and to completely cut off other people's ulterior motives. Otherwise, we are all on other people's territory. If someone takes advantage of us,
I was quietly controlled, and I'm afraid I won't even be able to find a place to cry. Prince, I have good intentions for you, but you can't be heartless! You don't really want me to pay back the money, do you?" He made it clear that he wanted to pay back the money.
As if the matter has nothing to do with me, I can kill him or bury him!
"I..." Shang Chaozong was speechless. He seemed to make sense, but if you think about it, everything was really considered for him. What else could he say?
Shang Shuqing said softly: "Brother, Master Tao has done his best, let's find a way to repay the money!"
Lan Ruoting smiled bitterly, and Shang Chaozong could only nod helplessly. The key is that everyone here knew that Niu Youdao was sent by him to propose marriage for him. He couldn't help but not repay it. It doesn't make sense for you to ask others to pay the bride price for your marriage.
ah!
"The princess is still wise!" Niu Youdao praised Shang Shuqing with a thumbs up.
Shang Shuqing bowed and gave a gift, "Master Dao, you have worked hard and worked hard. Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, it should be, it should be." Niu Youdao waved his hand cheerfully and changed the topic: "But there is something ugly I want to say first."
The three of them immediately stared at him closely, and things happened one after another that made them a little bit intolerable. They didn't know what this guy was going to do again.
There was no way she could cover her mouth to prevent her from speaking, so Shang Shuqing could only say softly: "But it doesn't matter!"
Niu Youdao said casually: "It's okay for us to work hard, and we will definitely work hard without complaining... There is no need for us to beat around the bush. Let me tell you the truth, I only work, I don't take responsibility!"
This tone made the three of them a little worried, and each of them asked secretly, what's going on!
Shang Shuqing probed: "I wonder...what responsibility is Master Dao referring to?"
Niu Youdao raised his chin towards Lan Ruoting, "Mr. Lan, is your teacher named Luo Shaofu?"
Lan Ruoting was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Shaofu Luo is the name of his mentor." He was full of doubts, why did he blame his teacher again? What kind of evil do you want to do? Don't you want to let a dead person go?
?
"It turns out it's true!" Niu Youdao sighed, "I only found out after hearing Feng Lingbo talk about it. Feng Lingbo seemed to admire his master very much. He praised him so much that he even asked me what his strategy for proposing a marriage was.
It wasn't your idea, Mr. Lan... I'm young, my shoulders are still weak, and I can't bear any responsibility, so I admitted it was Mr. Lan's strategy. People immediately praise famous teachers for producing great disciples. It's not good for us to go back on our words and then change our words to arouse people's suspicion.
, I’m afraid you’ll have to be more patient later.”
"..." Lan Ruoting was a little confused. After thinking for a while, he kept questioning and said: "There is no need to take any responsibility. Maybe Feng Lingbo can appreciate it. How can I take the credit from you, Master Dao?"
"Forget it if you don't deserve the credit. What do I need the credit for? I've always been low-key and don't like to be in the limelight. I hope you will understand me!" Niu Youdao scratched his nose subconsciously and said casually: "By the way, this is an excuse. It was naturally Mr.'s idea to use the money to buy betrothal gifts. I hope Mr. will bear with me!"
"Ah!" Lan Ruoting was shocked and stared at him with wide eyes. He was a little flattered and felt sad and angry. A shameless person like you is too embarrassed to take responsibility for such a shameless thing. You actually said it was my fault. idea?
Brother and sister Shang Chaozong and Shang Shuqing were completely speechless. They finally understood. No wonder this guy dared to do anything. He did the bad things anyway, and the responsibility was shouldered by others. If he could clean himself, he would There's nothing you dare to do, because someone will take the blame anyway!
After this incident, the three of them finally got to know this person. Lan Ruoting couldn't figure out how a man of Dong Guo Haoran's demeanor could accept such a disciple before his death.
Yuan Gang knew the Tao Master very well and stood aside calmly, seemingly not surprised at all.
Lan Ruoting didn't know if his expression was crying or laughing. He nodded bravely and agreed. The key is that you don't agree. He has worked so hard to get such a big thing done, and he won't even take any responsibility for him. It doesn’t make sense either.
However, Lan Ruoting was a little worried about how she would be greeted properly when she saw the Feng family tomorrow.
Debt-free and light-hearted, Niu Youdao smiled obviously and discussed with a few people how to proceed with the official meeting with the Feng family tomorrow.
The specific matters of marriage with the Feng family were naturally left to Lan Ruoting. It was not appropriate for Shang Chaozong to discuss this kind of matter in person, nor was it appropriate to let his unmarried sister do it. Only Lan Ruoting was the most suitable. Niu Youdao It's not impossible to talk about it, but Niu Youdao is too lazy to worry about the red tape. For him, the bridge has been built for you and the road has been paved for you. If you still go astray, you will not be saved. , being with a bunch of pigs will lead to death sooner or later, so he might as well leave as soon as possible.
So he turned around to find a place to rest, and let the rest of them take their time.
"Master Tao, let me see it off for you!" Shang Shuqing followed and came to see it off in person.
Niu Youdao enjoyed it as a matter of course and did not refuse, but having said that, he gradually developed a liking for this sensible and ugly woman, and casually made a joke, "Wearing a gauze hat when walking at night, can you see clearly? Don't trip." "
Shang Shuqing said gently: "I'm used to it."
Although these words were frank, there seemed to be a trace of sourness hidden in them, which made Niu Youdao embarrassed to continue joking about her, so he changed the topic smoothly, "I saw before, how did you bring all the monks from Nanshan Temple with you?" coming?"
Shang Shuqingqianqian accompanied him and replied softly: "Master Tao had made an explanation before leaving Nanshan Temple, and he wanted to keep the bear demon. Naturally, he had to take it with him when he left to give an explanation to Master Tao. However, the bear demon was alive and well. He refused to leave alone, saying that once he left, it would be difficult for the monks of Nanshan Temple to survive in this world. If the last cohesion of Nanshan Temple was lost, he would be sorry for the old abbot's entrustment before his death. In short, he just couldn't I am willing to leave alone, even if the knife is held at my neck, I would rather die than abandon those monks. We have no choice but to take them all with us and see what you do with them, Master Tao."
