Yesterday, Taoist priest Jia Tian and Zhang Chengsi made two bets in a row, asserting that a girl was born to the Deng family opposite.

Zhang Chengsi didn't believe it, and went to visit on the second day, as the Taoist priest expected, the Deng family really gave birth to a girl. The dealer is a style family, and there is more strong labor in the family when there is a boy, so many people want to have a boy and do not want to give birth to a girl.

This Taoist priest actually just glanced at the door, and he could say that a girl was born, plus he made a bet with the Taoist priest last night, Zhang Chengsi sent the Taoist away, and told people about the bet with the Taoist priest yesterday.

When many people heard about it, they were surprised.

Some people say that the Taoist priest must have been involved in the Tao for a long time, and has become a god, if he knew that the Taoist priest was so accurate in fortune-telling, he asked the Taoist priest to tell his own fortune.

These words reached the ears of the Zhang family.

Someone gave the good news to Zhang Chengde of the Zhang family, saying that the Taoist priest who gave your child eight characters yesterday was a fairy.

At the moment, I am washing the children's mustard seeds in the yard. Someone came to him and told him about it, he heard it, but he was only half-convinced, and asked the gossip person, who was also from Woniu Village, his name was Liu, and his name was Liu Shu, and he had a good relationship with Zhang Chengde's cousin Zhang Chengsi on weekdays, and the two were very close on weekdays.

"Yesterday I gave my son a batch of eight-character Taoist priests, is it really so magical? Can he see if he has a boy or a girl? Zhang Chengde asked.

Liu Yan said, "Of course, the Taoist priest also said that the two were born at the same time, presumably the children of the Deng family came to chase your children, and you Zhang and Deng families may be able to marry Qin and Jin in the future." That person may be a god in the sky, or he may be descending to earth. ”

Zhang Chengde laughed, he could believe the fortune teller, but the fairy said, he didn't believe it, and said, "That Taoist priest is really interesting, just when my child was born and passed by, my family has a good junior who came to tell the child's fortune, how do you know that it rained yesterday and did not leave, and also gave my child a baby marriage." The Zhuang family is idle and has nothing to do, asking for something interesting to talk to others. ”

Liu Shu said, "Brother Zhang doesn't believe it? ”

Zhang Chengde, "I don't believe it." ”

The two were talking in the courtyard, and Zhang Chengde's father, Zhang Gong, walked into the courtyard, and someone had already told him about the Taoist priest.

He was making a children's toy in his house, and he was making a rattle.

Deng Chang knew that he was a soldier in Beijing in the past, and the soldiers who were soldiers in those years were like wolves and tigers, and all of them were good men who didn't want to die.

hurriedly came to his son Zhang Chengde's house to see.

Zhang and Liu also listened to the words of Zhang and Liu in the courtyard, and said when he entered the courtyard, "Where can the nephew of the Liu family hear the rumors, and he goes to my house early in the morning to chew the root of his tongue." ”

Liu Yan gave Zhang Gong a fist and arched his hand, carefully accompanying the smiling face, "It's good to be long." ”

Zhang Gong nodded and pointed at Liu Sheng with his hand, "You are not honest in your later life, you ran to my Zhang family early in the morning to make a joke." The relationship between my Zhang family and the Deng family is just average, and you are just talking nonsense. ”

At this moment, the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family walked out of the house with the child in her arms, and Zhang Gong shook the rattle in her hand to tease her grandson.

Then he turned his head and said to Liu Shu, "You can't continue to talk nonsense, if it reaches the Deng family, it will be okay, by the way, who did you listen to these words?" ”

Liu Yanyan said, "I listened to your cousin Zhang Chengsi say this himself. ”

Zhang Gong said, "You can't say this to people anymore, the Deng family was originally born in martial arts, although there are no relatives in our Woniu Village, but you have seen the strength of that arm, in case he wants to get angry, you kid is going to drink a pot." ”

Liu Sheng didn't care.

Zhang Chengde said, "Father, my cousin Zhang Chengsi is also a kind person on weekdays, this can come out of his mouth, it must not be a joke, I want to go to the Deng family to see." ”

When Zhang Gong heard this, he said, "I see that Taoist priest, and his face and demeanor seem to be extraordinary, if that Taoist priest can really see the birth of a boy and a girl, he must be a fairy outside the square." Yesterday, there was no one to eat, and I think my Zhang family must have neglected the immortals. Feet on you, look at it. ”

Zhang Chengde put down the work at hand and Liu Sheng, and went to Zhang Chengsi's house to ask.

Zhang Gong held a rattle in his hand and continued to tease his grandson.

When the peasant family has nothing to do, they love to sit together and chat, and they can find something to do if they have nothing to do.

Zhang Chengsi is putting up a bamboo fence in the courtyard at the moment.

Entering the courtyard gate of Zhang Chengsi's house, Zhang Chengde opened his mouth and said, "My cousin is so interesting, he caused me a lot of rotten." ”

Zhang Chengsi was puzzled, "My brother added Ding to the house yesterday, and I also went, why did my brother say this?" ”

Zhang Chengde told Zhang Chengsi what his neighbor said, "I and the Deng family are just nodding friends on weekdays, and the relationship is average, I don't care about what you and the Taoist priest say, but how can you say that his family and my family will be good for Qin and Jin in the future?" The cousin spoke without consideration. ”

Zhang Chengsiyan said, "So that's the case," turned his head and said to Liu Xi, "On weekdays, you and I are the closest, why don't you have a door in your mouth for such a big thing." Then he pretended to sigh and said, "We have no secrets in Woniu Village, I just told the Liu family brothers this, and he ran to your house so soon." ”

Zhang Chengde, "What's going on, my cousin has to tell me honestly." ”

Zhang Chengsi told him that he was going to sell goods in other places and asked Lao Dao to tell him about the good fortune, and then he said about the bet he made last night.

Zhang Chengde said, "This old Taoist has some Taoism, and he was asked to tell the fortune yesterday, but he was not invited to a banquet, so I thought he was still neglected." ”

Zhang Chengsi, Liu Sheng nodded and said yes.

Zhang Chengde said again, "By the way, there are only a few families in our Woniu Village, and you say that my Zhang and Deng families will marry Qin and Jin in the future, how can you talk nonsense?" ”

Zhang Chengsi, "Brother, there is indeed such a thing, the Taoist priest is an immortal, what he said, not what I said." ”

Zhang Chengde, "What do you mean, the Taoist priest said that children are destined by heaven, and those of us who are adults must do it?" ”

Liu Xi, Zhang Chengsi smiled.

Zhang Chengde continued, "Moreover, my father said that Deng Changyuan was an officer and soldier in Beijing, not a person to be messed with, and my Zhang family only nodded to him. ”

"So that's the case", Zhang Chengsi laughed and said, "Brother is worried, I am the brother of the Deng family, we often move around during the day, although none of our heads are knocked on the ground, but we have a good relationship, if you say that you are angry, the Deng brothers can't." Then he had a thought in his heart and said, "What's more, there are clouds in the book, men should marry and women should marry, since the fairy said that there is a family affair, this is a good thing, how can my brother come to my house to ask for guilt?" ”

Zhang Chengde also laughed and said, "My wife, your sister-in-law is in confinement, and only I wash the mustard seeds for the child. ”

Zhang Chengsiyan said, "Brother Zhang Cai entered the door and bluffed me, but the Deng family gave birth, is it possible for my brother to go empty-handed?" ”

Zhang Chengde said, "You wait for a while, I'll go and go back." ”

After leaving Zhang Chengsi's house, he returned home and took a basket of eggs back, "Let's go, let's go and see my son's future father-in-law." ”
