1.22 Star Officer Gathering
If you ask who is the most surprised and happiest person in Qinghe County today? It's not Ximen Qing, it's Wu Dalang.
Looking at the money strings piled up in front of him by Laiwang, Wu Dalang finally realized that he was also a small rich man in Qinghe County; When he heard that Laiwang said that Ximen Qing would invite him to a banquet tomorrow, and there were Qinghe celebrities such as Li Zhixian, He Tixing, and Zhou Shoubei at the banquet, Wu Dalang realized that his identity had risen from a rich man to a gentleman, and the circle of friends was different.
And two days ago, he was still "three inches of Dinggu bark"! The contrast made his mind dizzy, and he didn't even know when Laiwang left.
Pan Jinlian heard that Wang was gone, so she came down from upstairs and was stunned when she looked at this large pile of money. She has been a maidservant in Zhang Dahu's house since she was a child, and she has also seen a dustpan and bamboo basket filled with money like picking up garbage, but no matter how much money there is, it is someone else's, and today so much money is piled up in her own home.
Reaching out to touch the green worm shining under the lamp, Pan Jinlian couldn't help muttering: "Could it be that you are really a chef star?" ”
As soon as he heard the word "Chef Xing", Wu Dalang suddenly came back to his senses, jumped up and said to Pan Jinlian: "Sister-in-law, you married me and suffered hardship, I think that at the beginning, I searched through this house, and I didn't even find a decent flower cloth for you, I'm sorry for you!" Now, I'll buy you silk clothes and gold and silver jewelry from Hangzhou, and you wait for me! ”
Seeing Wu Dalang say that the wind is the rain, Pan Jinlian hurriedly shouted: "Stop!" Wu Dalang looked up at her, and tears suddenly flowed from his eyes: "Sister-in-law, how many grievances have you suffered with me......" His voice was choked, but he couldn't say it anymore.
Pan Jinlian's heart was sour, and she hurriedly held back, but said: "Don't forget, you have to go to see the big man in Li Zhixian tomorrow, what silk jewelry, and let it go first, you go to buy a green cloth first, a few turns of good thread, let me cut you to see the clothes of your guests." ”
Wu Dalang agreed, went out with the money, and came back after a while, in addition to the green cloth, in the end, he still bought the brocade clothes and embroidered jackets, and the golden hairpin and pearls.
Pan Jinlian didn't look at the clothes and jewelry, but just came to measure Wu Dalang's body size, Wu Dalang snorted and said: "Sister-in-law, go to the banquet tomorrow, and do it today, is it still too late?" ”
Smiling, Pan Jinlian said proudly: "I'll let you see your lady's methods!" ”
At the same time, the marshal mansion guarding Zhou Xiu was also full of lights.
It turned out that Zhou Xiu's wife was not jealous, and when she heard that her husband was going to marry the maidservant girl in the mansion of the first star lord of Qinghe as a concubine, she was the first to be happy.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhou is more concerned about this matter than Zhou Xiu, today Zhou Xiu went to the criminal yamen to try the case, after she made a good dowry, she heard that there was a Taoist selling divination on the street, so she invited in to tell the fortune.
This person's surname is Wu, the road number is true, and he is from Xianyou, Zhejiang. Since childhood, he has been a monk from Tiantai Mountain Zixuguan, but he is a Taoist. After arranging the three money, I am coming up with a "wind and fire family" hexagram, ** moved, but the rhetoric is: rich family, good luck!
Zhou Fu ** was happy, thanked Daoist Wu again, and the Taoist drifted away. When Zhou Xiu came back, Zhou Xiu also smiled from ear to ear, hoping to come the next day.
The next day, the Zhou family swept the streets of their house in the morning, and when the auspicious time came, the drums were noisy, Zhou Xiu rode a white horse, and there was a military man behind him who took the dowry and blew and beat to the Ximen Mansion. At that time, it had already caused a sensation in Qinghe, and it was said that Lord Zhou could marry the maidservant of Qinghe's reincarnated star lord's mansion as a concubine, which was really a blessing. Some people even went to look for a matchmaker, and inquired about Ximen's mansion, how many people are there in the right age to marry? Instead, those matchmakers opened their mouths and paid a lot of defeats in their hands.
In Ximen Qingfu, Li Zhixian sat in a sedan chair, and He Ti was riding a horse, all of them had arrived, and when Zhou Xiu got off the horse in front of the door, he was ridiculed and noisy by He Ti Xing. Zhou Xiu just touched his head and smiled "hehe", but he didn't know what to say.
Don't say it's him, Ximen Qing himself is also at a loss, he doesn't know the miscellaneous etiquette of the Song Dynasty's concubines, lest he accidentally reveal any flaws and arouse suspicion. Therefore, during the ceremony, he didn't take a single step or say a word, but fortunately he took the wine and soaked it in his mouth in advance, pretending to be drunk, and everyone could understand his puppet-like stupidity.
As soon as all the ceremonies were over, Ximenqing immediately invited Li Zhixian, He Tixing, and Zhou Shoubei to the study, and as soon as Zhou Xiu entered the door, he let go of the shelves that had been tense for a long time, and just shouted: "Stuffy me!" ”
Ximen Qing said with a smile: "Today, the little brother will introduce you to one person. With that, he invited Wu Dalang out of the inner study.
Today's Wu Dalang is wearing a green shirt made by Pan Jinlian himself, and under the skillful cutting, every stitch and thread is inappropriately used to promote his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, which sets off Wu Dalang's figure higher. In addition, there are seedlings of self-confidence in their hearts that are thriving, and when facing Qinghe's three officials, although they can't be chic and free, at least they don't make a fool of themselves.
Several people have Wu Dalang's cooking cakes in their homes, but it is the first time to see Wu Dalang, but his figure is famous and Qinghe, and everyone can recognize it at a glance.
Li Zhixian's eyes lit up, and he bent over and said, "Could it be that this one is the Martial Star Master of the Earth Kitchen?" ”
Wu Dalang said solemnly: "Exactly! He firmly remembered Ximenqing's advice, and when he was too nervous, he simply didn't squint, and said the words less, but he also looked like a star lord.
Although Ximenqing's teachings are well memorized, but in practice, it still makes Wu Dalang secretly complain, after all, what he can say and what he can do are two different things.
Li Zhixian didn't care about this, took Wu Dalang's hand and invited him to sit on the seat, and sat diagonally, and then said respectfully: "Yesterday evening, my mother had a happy dream, dreaming that my father, who had been deceased for many years, came to the house, and said to my mother, he has sunk in the underworld for many years, and he cannot be born in suffering, but now fortunately, my mother has offered the merit cake blessed by the two star lords in front of the Buddha, and under a little spiritual light, his sins have been eliminated, and the king of the wheel has ordered him to go to the rich and noble place, and the good people have gone to take care of his life." ”
When Ximenqing heard this, he almost laughed out loud, but he didn't expect that his lies would not count as coaxing people, even ghosts. Presumably, the old man Li did too much evil during his lifetime, and the old lady also knew what kind of material her husband was, so she was suspicious of dark ghosts, and always felt that her husband was living in hell. After getting the Wuda Cooking Cake, it is not surprising that under the single-mindedness of exceedance, he thinks about it day and dreams at night.
But I heard Li Zhixian say again: "When my father was leaving, he told my mother a thousand times, saying that if you see the two star lords, you must respect the dream last night like an elder, and today you met the martial star lord, isn't this fate?" The Lord of the Martial Star is above, please be worshiped by the good faith Li Dafu! ”
Seeing that Li Zhixian was about to kneel and kowtow, Wu Dalang had already forgotten Ximenqing's teaching to the clouds, and shouted: "I can't do it!" He rushed to his knees first.
Li Zhixian saw that Wu Dalang knelt down first, and he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down. Who knew that he had been doing it for a long time, and he had many times when he was knelt down, and there were few opportunities to kneel to his boss, so he knelt crookedly, and his head hit the table leg, and he suddenly had a big pimple. Li Zhixian secretly complained: "The great gift of the stars in the sky, how can you Li Dafu afford it?" It's good now, the Bodhisattva is thinking about it! "Touching the big bag on my head, I only felt pain to the bones.
At this time, Ximenqing and others had their hands and feet, and they had already pulled up Li Zhixian and Wu Dalang and returned to their seats, and Ximenqing said: "In my house, everyone is worldly, they are all brothers!" ”
Xia Tixing also said: "If you are sincere, don't kneel down for a while." ”
Zhou Xiu patted the table: "Lao Xia's words are exactly what I want!" ”
Everyone sat down again, although Wu Dalang was frightened, but after being kneeled by Li Zhixian, this courage somehow became a lot bigger, and he sat firmly on the chair at the moment, hard heart, hard courage, and hard face to look at Ximenqing.
Ximen Qing then spoke: "I have something to discuss with you!" "This is exactly what it is:
Today, it is planted as a plane tree, and the Ming Dynasty is a phoenix nest. But I don't know what Ximenqing said, and listen to the next decomposition.
