Chapter 35: The False Taoist
The Taoist priest first convinced everyone that he was true and that he was not a subordinate of Qu Yuan. And he bragged about it, saying what was the status of his teachers in the entire Dao realm......
Master Lu himself was convinced of this, and now he believes it even more. With a smile on his face, he invited the Taoist chief to the front hall to narrate, and instructed his subordinates to take the best tribute tea to entertain the Taoist chief, and he didn't dare to be sloppy at all.
"Daochang Li is disrespectful, and Lu is disrespectful!" Master Lu bowed modestly, dragged the Taoist all the way, and sat on the lower left of the upper position.
As the head of the house, Liu Qingqing also made a look and instructed her subordinates to treat her with good wine and food. After a while, I saw a group of mermaids rushing in, and the delicacies in their hands were all fooled ingredients.
The Taoist priest raised his eyebrows, but a trace of joy flashed in his eyes. Immediately said modestly, "Master Lu is really polite, you are so wasteful that you make Poor Dao a little embarrassed." What's more, I have lived in the mountains for a long time, so I am not so particular. ”
Old Man Lu personally prepared dishes for him, and greeted the Taoist chief vigorously, don't dislike these coarse tea and light rice. Hearing this, Lu Xueyi almost didn't laugh out loud, the two of them exchanged courtesies, and they were all polite words.
However, this chief is really strange, there has been no major incident in the house recently, but he came to visit I'm afraid there will be a follow-up.
Sure enough, after eating, Daochang Li suddenly took out a copy of King Kong Gold from his bosom and gave it to Master Lu.
If Master Lu had obtained a treasure, he took it cautiously and couldn't put it down. Sometimes I sigh at its subtlety, and sometimes I say that the destiny is difficult to violate......
"Ahem!" Li Daochang reminded loudly, "There is a lack of yin energy in the mansion, and the yang energy is too strong. I was in your courtyard and saw righteousness covering the entire main house, which is really good! But this world pays attention to a harmony of yin and yang, and it is rigid and easy to break......"
Lu Xue can be regarded as understanding, and the feelings of Daochang Li are here to instigate Master Lu to take a concubine! This is a handful of years old, and there are countless wives and concubines in the family, do you still have to take concubines?
"Daochang Li means ......" Master Lu bowed his head, naturally ignoring his meaning. Feel the goatee and ponder for a moment.
However, the more such things as concubines, the better, and Master Lu was instantly overjoyed, thinking that it was a big deal. It's just that I don't know if I can add a son and a half daughter at my age, after all, a big family is big, and a prosperous person is the best.
Lu Xueyi looked at Master Lu's reaction, and secretly scolded the breeding pig in her heart, thinking about these romantic things at an old age. I still remember that I fell into the water a few days ago and was terminally ill, this old man only cared about being merry and happy, and almost killed himself.
Thinking of the old things, Lu Xueyi was a little dissatisfied, but fortunately she had a big life, otherwise how could she be qualified to sit here and drink tea and eat melon seeds now. Mingzhu watched the eldest girl staring straight at the master, the dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she couldn't help but nervously pinching the little handkerchief. I'm afraid that she will make a mistake and collide with the master.
"If the eldest girl doesn't want to listen, let's go back to Songxue Garden now?" Mingzhu whispered to test Lu Xueyi's reaction, wishing that she would leave here quickly.
"No, the show hasn't started yet, how can I leave the table early? Naturally, you have to accompany them to watch slowly, and the more people there are, the more lively they are. Otherwise, it's so boring to go back to my yard and be deserted! Lu Xueyi chuckled and shook her head, saying that she still wanted to stay and watch the play.
At present, there is no news of Qu Yuan and Xie Qi, and I can't sit still when I go back, so I just look at the excitement, and it is also excellent to eat tea!
When the old lady heard this, she also felt that it made sense. Because they also enveloped these, they did not say much. "Since it is the Taoist chief, it is to do it, but to seek the harmony of yin and yang in the house, and it will be prosperous for a long time.
But Liu Qingqing is a continuation, and he is a person who has just entered the house for a short time, so he is naturally unhappy. His face had changed slightly, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched tightly, and his dancôme-covered nails sank deep into the flesh without realizing it. In the end, he forcibly endured it, but it was not good to make the master unhappy.
Seeing everyone's performance one by one, Lu Xueyi still admired Liu Qingqing's endurance. However, it is not easy to sit in the main position after being happy, how can I suppress Aunt Xia without a few means and abilities!
But these have nothing to do with Lu Xueyi, she is holding Erlang's legs for a long time and drinking tea on the side. Today, thanks to the blessing of the old way of Niubi, I also enjoyed the taste of a handful of top-grade tribute tea, which is really extraordinary.
You must know that Master Lu has always been a good collector of tea, and whenever he gets a little bit of good tea, he happily hides it and tastes it alone. Even the old lady, he was somewhat reluctant.
Lu Xueyi half-squinted at Daoist Li who didn't talk much, but she doubted his identity as a Taoist. ran to someone's house for no reason to let people take a concubine, isn't there already a good candidate for this concubine? Or is he a drunkard who doesn't mean to drink!
The old lady and the old man Lu had already been fooled by this bull-nosed Taoist priest, and after listening to it, they nodded again and again, and they were even more amazed and exquisite. I really don't have any doubts about the identity of this Taoist priest, even if others have doubts in their hearts, they don't dare to say it to their faces.
Immediately afterwards, the Taoist priest said, "The ancestral hall can't let the concubines enter!" In other words, Aunt Xia will not be punished for kneeling in the ancestral hall. If you let the concubine in, I am afraid that you will offend the gods and bring great calamity. ”
These old men Lu agreed to come down one by one, but whenever he could avoid the trouble, he obeyed the words of Daoist Li. All I thought in my heart was to continue for the glory of the family. After all, the family business created by the hard work of the past generations cannot be defeated in his hands, otherwise he will be ashamed of his ancestors after a hundred years.
"Fortunately, Daoist Li personally came to the door to mention it, otherwise we would have suffered a big disaster!" The old lady patted her chest gently, still a little afraid. is already superstitious, and at this time it is even more obsessive.
The heroine understood now, this Taoist priest was the one who came to save Aunt Xia, and listened quietly. The corners of his mouth pulled out a contemptuous smile, interesting!
Then Master Lu gave the Taoist priest a lot of silver taels and sent him to the door respectfully. He was supposed to find him a good carriage, but was rejected by Daoist Li.
"Traveling all over the world, accustomed to a pair of broken straw shoes can travel all over the world, Master Lu is too careful!" Daoist Li gave it up, but the hand that could take the money was not ambiguous at all.
The butler beside him put the silver taels in his hand, and Daoist Li left happily. The footsteps are windy, as if they are afraid of being chased.
Master Lu stood at the door for a long time with the old lady in his arms, until Daoist Li's figure disappeared from everyone's sight, and then he went home.
"Today, as a master, everyone has memorized it. Since the ancestral hall can't enter the concubine room, no one has come to let Aunt Xia go! The old lady's crutches slammed heavily on the ground, and a dull voice echoed through the hall.
Everyone nodded yes, they didn't dare to be disobedient!
"By the way, Aunt Xia let it go, look at Lu Xueling's girl......" Master Lu still felt sorry for his second daughter, and hurriedly pleaded with the old lady.
"Excuse me!" The old lady was in a good mood, and even Lu Xueling's punishment was exempted. "But I'll say the ugly things first, if someone commits another crime in the future, it's not as simple as kneeling in the ancestral hall and punishing the copying of books."
The old lady's eyes scanned everyone's eyes sharply, and when her gaze fell on Lu Xueyi's body, she couldn't help but soften a little. "Yi'er, my heart and soul come and show me."
Lu Xueyi patted the melon seed shell on her hand, came to the old lady with a smile, and bowed down to make a blessing. "The old lady is well!"
The old lady pulled her to her side and sat down with her. "Yesterday, you heard that you once left the mansion, and later got separated from Xie Gongzi's people, so you can go to the mansion to find it." It was a complaining tone, full of pampering.
"Yi'er left the house yesterday, the most important thing is to prepare a unique gift for your birthday, of course, you have to choose it yourself, you can't fake other people's hands." Lu Xueyi looked at the old lady with a smile, she almost stayed up all night with her homework, but the semi-finished products were also miserable, and she was embarrassed to show off at all.
"Oh, Yi'er seems to have grown up, and she actually knows how to prepare gifts for my wife. I am naturally glad that such a sincere gift has been prepared for me. The old lady took Lu Xueyi's hand and patted it gently, but accidentally touched the wound.
Lu Xueyi frowned, it hurt heartbreakingly! "Hiss......" gasped and hurriedly hid his hands behind his back.
"Ouch, my heart, show me." The old lady took Lu Xueyi's hand in front of her strongly, and took a closer look, but found that many needles were almost covered with ten fingers.
"You kid...... Alas, it's really hard for you! The old lady sighed, carefully cared for her hand, and blew softly.
Her mother left early, and the work itself should have been taught by her mother, but ...... Alas! I don't want to mention the past, but this child has such a heart at a young age, which really touched her a little.
"Old lady, I really don't hurt!" Lu Xueyi endured her tears and raised a bright smile, and her chubby little face was even more pitiful.
Just as the two were talking, Aunt Xia had already been helped to the lobby. Looking at Lu Xueyi, who was sitting next to the old lady, Aunt Xia felt a faint pain in her knees again.
It's freezing cold, and I've been kneeling for these days, who knew that this little slut was actually held in the palm of his hand to take care of him. People are more angry than people!
Lu Xueyi took in Aunt Xia's expression at the door, knowing that he hated himself, but he still pretended to smile and looked at the person at the door, "I haven't seen you for many days, Aunt Xia doesn't know if she is in good health, sit down quickly, Daddy has made good tea, let's enjoy it." ”
"Thank you for your concern, the body is still good. It's just not as blessed as you! Aunt Xia was so angry with her that she almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, but she quickly looked around and found that her baby daughter was not present, so she became more and more worried.
