On July 11th, the sky was high and the air was crisp. The day before Xu Dongsheng's wedding, the mansion was filled with busy people and red lights hung high, creating a busy and festive scene.
In addition to Lin Tianqi, Uncle Jiu, Xu Jie, Xu's father, Xu's mother, and Xu Dongsheng, they also found many people from the town to help prepare for tomorrow's wedding.
"Tian Qi, Dongsheng, you two senior brothers should pay more attention. Your senior uncles should be arriving today too. You two senior brothers should pay more attention to pick up people."
During the busy period, Uncle Jiu found two brothers, Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng, and gave instructions. The two brothers nodded immediately after hearing this.
"Well, okay, don't worry, master, Dongsheng and I will pay more attention."
Lin Tianqi responded with a smile. Father Xu and mother next to him quickly interjected when they heard that they were Jiu Shu's fellow juniors and the senior uncles of Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng.
"A few Taoist priests are coming. Do you want to go out and greet them?"
The two elders thought that they were the junior brothers of Uncle Jiu and the junior uncles of Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng. Their relationship was extraordinary and they needed to be more serious.
"No, just wait and pick them up at the door when they arrive. In addition, we can tidy up the room in the backyard and arrange their accommodation later."
Uncle Jiu said, with a smile on his face. Several of his junior brothers were coming, and it was a rare opportunity to get together. Uncle Jiu was in a very good mood at the moment.
"Then Xiaojie and I will tidy up the room."
When Xu's mother heard the words, she said so. When Xu's father heard the words, he quickly nodded and urged.
"Then you and Xiaojie go quickly, otherwise the Taoist priest and the others will come later."
Xu Jie and Xu's mother and daughter immediately walked towards the backyard. Uncle Jiu looked at the two senior brothers again.
"You two senior fellow apprentices should go outside and take a look when you have time."
After giving the explanation, Uncle Jiu and Father Xu left immediately to do other things.
"Senior brother, who will be coming this time?"
With only two senior brothers left, Xu Dongsheng looked at Lin Tianqi again and asked.
"It should be Uncle Four Eyes, Uncle Qianhe and Uncle Mamadi."
Lin Tianqi thought for a while after hearing this, because in his impression, among his master's generation in Maoshan, these three people were the only ones who had a good relationship with his master, while most of the others were closer to Shi Jian and Shi Jian.
Jian is also the elder brother of his master Mao Shan, but his relationship with his master Jiu Shu is not that good.
"By the way, doesn't Sister Liu live here in the south? I think she has a good relationship with the master. Why haven't I mentioned it to the master since I came here?"
Xu Dongsheng nodded slightly when he heard this, but then he thought of Liu Qingmei, whom he had met last time, and said.
"I don't know much about this. Maybe Sister Liu and the others live a little far away from us."
It's okay that Xu Dongsheng didn't mention this matter, but when he mentioned it, Lin Tianqi felt a little guilty, because when they separated, Liu Shengnan still asked him to come to the south to find her. Although there were no famous quotes, some of the meanings had been lost.
And Yu and Lin Tianqi agreed casually and politely because they were not married yet and had confirmed their relationship with Xu Jie.
But now that he has married Xu Jie, it would be a bit embarrassing if he really met Liu Shengnan again.
Therefore, since coming to the south, not only has his master not mentioned Liu Qingmei much, but he has also deliberately avoided the matter.
Not only Liu Shengnan, but also Li Min.
Both of them are senior sisters, and both of them asked him to come to the south to find them, but in Lin Tianqi's current situation, how could he be embarrassed to find them.
"Let's go, let's go to the door first to see if Uncle Master and the others are here."
Lin Tianqi didn't want to dwell on this issue any longer, so he immediately spoke and changed the topic.
Xu Dongsheng didn't know what Liu Shengnan said to Lin Tianqi when he left, so he didn't know anything about it. Hearing Lin Tianqi's words, he didn't think much about it. He nodded immediately, and the two brothers walked towards the door outside the yard. But it was true that
Coincidentally, as soon as the two of them arrived at the door, they saw the four-eyed group arriving from a distance.
There were a total of eight people in the group. In addition to Yonmu, Ikkyu and Yonmu's apprentice Jia Le, there were also Chizuru and his four disciples, southeast and northwest. However, the two groups happened to meet outside the town, and then they went together.
Come together.
Seeing the group of people, Lin Tianqi quickly led Xu Dongsheng to greet them.
"Uncle Four Eyes, Uncle Qianhe..."
Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng took the lead in calling Simu and Qianhe.
"Senior Brother Lin" "Senior Brother Lin" "...."
The four people from the southeast and northwest behind Qianhe had met Lin Tianqi before and had a very good impression of Lin Tianqi. They also shouted immediately. Jiale had never seen Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng, but they also followed the example and shouted at the same time.
He looked at Lin Tianqi secretly.
"Several junior brothers."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianqi immediately greeted a few people with a smile, and then looked at Yixiu next to him. When he saw Yixiu's appearance, Lin Tianqi had some vague guesses in his heart, but he still said:
"I wonder who this master is?"
He asked politely and looked at Ikkyu.
"Amitabha, take a rest with the name of the Sangha."
Ikkyu raised his palm with one hand and said Buddha's name.
"It turns out to be Master Yixiu, boy Lin Tianqi, and this is my junior brother Xu Dongsheng."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tianqi immediately spoke politely again and introduced himself and Xu Dongsheng next to him.
"Master Ikkyu."
Xu Dongsheng immediately called out politely.
"Amitabha."
After a break, he recited the Buddha's name again and smiled kindly.
"Dead monk."
His eyes were obviously displeased with Ikkyu, and when he saw Ikkyu's smiling face, he cursed in a low voice in an annoyed tone.
When Ikkyu heard this, he was not angry at all. He turned his head and looked into his eyes with a smile.
"Everyone is destined to die. It's just a matter of dying early and dying late. After I die, I will naturally die as a monk. Brother Taoist, don't you also want to become a dead Taoist priest?"
"you!"
My eyes were choked all of a sudden.
When Lin Tianqi saw this, he quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Uncle Master, Master, it's hot outside. Let's go inside first. If you have anything to do, go inside and sit down and chat slowly. Master has been talking about you all morning. He will be very happy to know that you are here."
After saying that, Lin Tianqi said to Xu Dongsheng again.
"Junior brother, go and inform the master that uncle and master are here."
"yes."
Immediately, Xu Dongsheng responded and ran towards the mansion quickly.
"Uncle, Master, and several junior brothers, please come here."
Lin Tianqi said politely to several people again, and the group also said politely, and followed Lin Tianqi towards the door of the mansion. Simu and Yixiu were not bickering.
When they reached the door, Uncle Jiu and Father Xu came out after receiving the news.
When the two sides met, Qian He and Brother Jiu were the first to say hello, and then Ikkyu also looked at Uncle Jiu and gave a slight bow and said politely.
"Brother Lin Dao."
Uncle Jiu also looked at Yixiu and smiled immediately.
Immediately afterwards, A Le and the five people from the southeast and northwest also called Uncle Jiu. Uncle Jiu also nodded slightly to the five people, and then exchanged a few words.
"Let's go inside first."
"please!"
"please!"
Immediately, a group of people entered the house, and then Xu's mother and Xu Jie's mother and daughter also came out. They met each other and got to know each other, and then arranged for the group to stay.
The mansion is large and has many rooms, so you don’t have to worry about being crowded and having no place to live.
After arranging for the group to stay, Uncle Jiu greeted Yixiu again. Qianhe and Simu sat in the living room drinking tea. Father Xu also accompanied them.
Lin Tianqi and Xu Dongsheng's task is to entertain Jiale and the five people from Southeast and Northwest, but it is not a difficult task. They are all of the same age, and Southeast and Northwest have already known each other and established a good relationship last time. The remaining A Le is also nothing.
Lin Tianqi took the lead in his difficult personality, and the brothers quickly became familiar with him.
Then, Lin Tianqi began to direct the helpers to do the hard work one by one.
At noon, Mamadi also arrived, bringing his two apprentices, A Hao and A Qiang.
After not seeing each other for a while, things in Renjiazhen seemed to have changed a lot in Mumadi. Not only had his bad temper improved a lot, but his sloppy habit of picking his nose and toes seemed to have disappeared.
Seeing Mamadi's change, Uncle Jiu seemed very satisfied. He smiled like an old father and no longer scolded Mamadi as often as before.
The arrival of a group of people suddenly made the house lively.
In the afternoon, another group of two people arrived, but both Uncle Jiu and Master Lin Tianqi's expressions froze.
Because the visitors were none other than Liu Qingmei and Liu Sheng's aunt and nephew.
