Chapter Twenty-Nine: Dongping Mansion

Song Huizong Xuanhe had just passed the second year of the New Year, and in the Dongping Mansion, a young and beautiful lady was walking in a hurry and entered the high hall in the backyard.

As soon as she entered the door, she approached an old woman in the hall and asked coquettishly, "Ancestor, what ...... Is the fairy in the backyard out of the gate? ”

This young and beautiful young lady with a graceful figure is none other than Cheng Wan'er, Cheng Taishou's only daughter, and this old woman is Cheng Taishou's biological mother.

Cheng's mother looked at her granddaughter's face full of spoiling, and when she heard her granddaughter ask her, she said to the maid beside her: "Cui'er, has the fairy chief in the backyard ever been out of the customs?" ”

Cui'er hurriedly said: "Old Ancestor, the Immortal Chief has not yet left the customs, do you need me to invite him?" ”

After Cui'er finished speaking, she saw Cheng's mother hurriedly waved her hand and said: "No, the immortal chief once said that no one should disturb him when he was in retreat, or the immortal chief will go out of the customs." ”

After speaking, she sighed again and said: "It's just that this immortal chief has been in retreat for a few months, and I haven't heard him preach about the mysteries for a long time, and my heart is always unsteady." ”

Cheng's mother was sighing, but Cheng Wan'er beside her showed a little regret on her face, obviously a little disappointed when she heard that this immortal chief did not come out.

At this moment, a servant suddenly ran in front of the hall: "Old ancestor, Master Dong Ping, the commander of the soldiers and horses under the master, Feng Xingzi, the governor of Dongping Mansion, asked to see him, saying that he came to pay New Year's greetings to the old ancestor." ”

When Cheng's mother heard that these two came to greet her, she nodded and said, "Please come in." ”

When Cheng's mother invited someone in, she didn't notice that her granddaughter Wan'er next to her had a wrong look on her face, and she seemed to be a little unhappy.

After a while, the two men entered the hall under the guidance of the servant.

A man of about thirty, with a rough appearance, a majestic figure, and a military attache uniform, is the Dongping Mansion Soldier and Horse Supervisor, known as Dong Ping, a two-gun general.

Another person in his forties, wearing a purple and gold robe, holding a dust, white face and long beard, and a true appearance, is Feng Xingzi, the capital of Dongping Mansion.

Song Huizong believed in Taoism, so he arranged Taoist officials in various places, and the reason why Feng Xingzi was able to go to this Dongping Mansion to do the capital was because he was pleased with Lin Lingsu, the great Taoist master in Beijing.

After Feng Xingzi arrived in Dongping Mansion, he didn't pay much attention to the things of cultivation, but he did a lot of things for the troubled township.

In the first year of Huizong's reform, he summoned the Taoist to worship the heavens, and Feng Xingzi has always liked to drill the camp, so he also went to the camp together, and stayed in the capital for more than two years, until he was promoted to the Taoist position by Huizong.

He saw that Dongping Mansion had changed the new Taishou, and wanted to drill the camp to tie up, and heard that Cheng Taishou was the most filial, so he found Dong Ping, an old friend, and came to visit Cheng Taishou's mother first.

After Dong Ping and Feng Xingzi entered the house, they both presented the New Year's gifts first, and then sat down.

Among them, Dong Ping saw Cheng Wan'er sitting next to Cheng's mother, and his eyes couldn't help revealing a sense of desire, when he saw Cheng Wan'er for the first time, he was attracted by the other party's beauty.

He also proposed to Taishou Cheng Wanli and wanted to marry Cheng Wan'er, but Cheng Taishou didn't seem to look down on him as a martial artist, and he never agreed to several requests.

However, the disrespect in Dong Ping's eyes, Cheng's mother didn't see it, because she liked Taoism, and now that Feng Xingzi, a Taoist official, was here, she couldn't help but ask for advice.

Cheng's mother didn't see it, but Cheng Wan'er saw it clearly, she had heard her father mention it several times when Dong Ping proposed marriage.

She didn't like this rude person very much in her heart, but now when she saw the naked eyes of the other party, she became more and more disgusted in her heart, and she was ready to say goodbye to her ancestor and leave.

But at this moment, Cheng's mother told Feng Xingzi that there was a Taoist immortal living in her backyard who was in retreat, and she also said how profound the immortal's Taoist attainments were.

As soon as these words came out, Feng Xingzi, a narrow-minded person, was immediately unhappy, and he was about to take advantage of Cheng's mother's liking for Taoism to climb Cheng Taishou, but who would have thought that someone would take the lead.

Thinking of this, he pretended to be profound and said to Cheng's mother: "Old good man, because our Daomen has been favored by the official family over the years, there are villains who see that it is profitable, and they have pretended to be Taoists, although I don't know whether the immortal chief in your mouth is true or false, but if he doesn't have a Taoist jade talisman, you must not be careless to be deceived by that villain." ”

When Cheng's mother heard this, although she felt that the fairy in the backyard was not like a bad person, the Feng Xingzi in front of her was the official family who had personally canonized the capital, and she wouldn't talk nonsense if she wanted to.

And the immortal chief in the backyard really didn't have any Taoist jade talismans, and under the suspicion in her heart, she asked carefully: "Feng Daozheng, how can you tell the truth from the fake." ”

When Feng Xingzi heard this, he knew that his words made Cheng's mother suspicious, and said with an obligatory face: "This is very simple, just try him." ”

"Green ...... The immortal chief will definitely not be fake. ”

After Feng Xingzi finished speaking, Cheng's mother had not yet spoken, but she heard Cheng Wan'er next to her speak first, and the meaning of maintenance in those words was overflowing.

When Feng Xingzi heard this, he didn't feel anything, but he just thought that Miss Cheng must have been confused by the liar.

But Dong Ping next to him saw Cheng Wan'er's nervous look, even though he didn't know how old the immortal was and what he looked like, a wave of jealousy welled up in his heart.

However, the mother was puzzled in her heart, but she seemed to have made up her mind, stood up and said, "Then please ask Feng Daozheng to help the old man take a look." ”

"Old Ancestor, the Immortal Chief is closing ......"

Cheng Wan'er wanted to stop her when she heard this, but she was glared back by Cheng's mother in the middle of her words, so she had to follow behind everyone with a small face and walk towards the backyard.

Although Cheng's mother said that she lived in the backyard for a long time, she actually lived in a small temple outside the backyard, and a few of them went out the back door and arrived at this small view without walking a few steps.

I saw a servant in the courtyard seeing Cheng's mother and them coming, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Ancestor, why are you here?" ”

Cheng Mu didn't answer, just looked at a closed door in the temple and said, "Is there any movement in the immortal chief?" ”

The servant replied, "No, two days ago I brought some gruel in, and since then there has been no movement." ”

Hearing this, Feng Xingzi next to him secretly sneered on his face, thinking that this must be pretending to be a trick that he didn't like to play, and today he had to make this so-called immortal chief lose face.

Glancing at this rather delicate little view, he thought to himself that when the time came, this stupid old woman would be happy, so she would give it to him.

Thinking of this, Feng Xingzi rolled up his sleeves and prepared to go up and knock on the door.

But at this time, someone was more anxious than him, and took the lead in walking up, Feng Xingzi fixed his eyes and saw that it was Dong Ping who came with him.

Seeing Dong Ping's move, Feng Xingzi immediately stopped, thinking that it would be good if there was a rising bird, and he would act when he saw the opportunity.

Dong Ping, who was jealous, thought to himself, he just knocked on the door and called this immortal chief out, whether it was true or not, he would punch him first, so that he would lose face, and let Cheng Wan'er see who was the real hero of the husband.

But just as Dong Ping wanted to step forward and knock on the door, he heard a clear voice from the room: "Don't bother to drive." ”

After speaking, he saw the door of the house being opened from the inside, and a young Taoist priest wearing a moire blue-bottomed silk robe walked out.

This Taoist priest is about twenty years old, with red lips and white teeth, a handsome face, an elegant and dusty temperament, no hurry when walking, big sleeves fluttering, and in terms of appearance, he is better than Feng Xingzi, I don't know how much.

As soon as the young Taoist priest left the room, he looked at everyone with a smile on his face, and for some reason, everyone saw the eyes that were as bright as a galaxy, and they felt as if they were being blown by the breeze, and they couldn't say that they were naturally comfortable.

And after Cheng Wan'er saw the young Taoist priest come out, her face couldn't help but show joy, and she stepped forward and said, "Daoist Qingyuzi, are you out of the customs?" ”
