53. A birthday feast that no one knows
"Hmm... Master Fang, do you know? Everyone understands that the Zheng family has relied on my grandmother to get to where it is today. Everyone also often secretly says that if it weren't for my grandmother Zheng Suyi, it would be impossible for the Zheng Mansion to get out of the decay of the year. ”
Zheng Hongqin saw that Fang Wuwei had already raised his interest, smiled helplessly, and then looked down at the dust on the floor and said slowly:
"But... They don't know that in fact, it is not my grandmother who carries the entire Zheng family, but my grandfather who has passed away. ”
“。。。 ”
Fang Wuwei frowned, not quite understanding what Zheng Hongqin meant.
He didn't know the history of the Zheng family, and he didn't have much contact with the Zheng family. So whether the Zheng family is carried by Grandma Zheng or Grandpa Zheng, there is no difference to him.
But.. If anyone knows the history of the Zheng family, they will definitely scoff at what Zheng Hongqin said! Because when Grandma Zheng carried the Zheng family, Grandpa Zheng was already dead!
My grandmother said. When she married her grandfather Zheng Hongtian, her grandfather was already seriously ill. And when she was just pregnant with my dad, her grandfather Zheng Hongtian was already critically ill. ”
Zheng Hongqin heard that Fang Wuwei had no doubts, so he continued to speak. It's just that when he tells these stories, he always shows a trace of sadness, probably he thinks of his grandfather who he has never met, right?
"That year, my grandfather was critically ill, and the Zheng family was already suffering from internal and external troubles, and they were in prison. At that time, Zheng's great-grandmother decided to hold a birthday banquet to rejoice, hoping to make her grandfather's health better with the help of the birthday banquet. As a result, on the day of the birthday banquet, there were very few people who came to the birthday banquet, only a handful, and there were only fifteen people in total. ”
"Fifteen people? That's a bit of a lot. ”
Fang Wu was stunned for a moment, there were only fifteen people attending the huge Zheng Mansion's birthday banquet? It seems that the Zheng family back then had really fallen into a state of no return.
"yes. . . Grandma said that she was wearing red makeup, standing quietly in front of the gate of Zheng's house, waiting quietly for a morning, one afternoon, the once familiar businessmen, even if they passed by the Zheng family, they left in a hurry, and no one wanted to take a second look.
Then.. Grandma just shed tears like this, leaning against the gate of the Zheng family and waiting, waiting until it was getting dark, just hoping to wait for a few more people to go to the banquet, just hoping to wait for a little more hope. ”
Zheng Hongqin smiled sadly, as if he had seen the scene of the Zheng family's downfall many years ago, and had seen his grandmother waiting messily in the wind.
Maybe.. He thought of himself who was excluded by everyone, maybe he thought that he would be so depressed in the future, in short, his desolate smile also made Fang Wuwei sigh secretly in his heart.
However, Zheng Hongqin was sad for a while, and then he turned his head to look at Fang Wuwei, and said with a hint of excitement in his eyes:
"But! Just when it was already dark, the Zheng family had lit red candles, and grandma was already in despair!
Zheng Hongqin became more and more excited as he spoke, as if the protagonist who saved the world was about to appear in some legendary novel! Both eyes began to shine and became bright!
"Grandma said that the two Taoists, one is a white-haired middle-aged Taoist, fairy wind Dao bones, wearing a Taoist robe, wearing a hat, and carrying a bamboo basket behind him, as if he is a master who travels all over the world!
"Tut-tut. These two Taoist priests are a bit high.。。 ”
Fang Wuwei smashed his mouth, and always felt that the story Zheng Hongqin told was becoming more and more mysterious. How can anyone be seen at a glance that he is a master and chivalrous man who travels all over the world?
However, Zheng Hongqin obviously had already said it, and he didn't care about what Fang Wuwei said, but his eyes lit up and continued:
The middle-aged white-haired Taoist said to the grandmother standing at the door, the young master of the Zheng family, who is also my grandfather Zheng Hongtian, gave them four steamed buns and a few oceans a few years ago. Today, they revisited their hometown, and it happened to be the birthday banquet of Zhengfu, so they took this opportunity to repay the kindness they had many years ago.
At that time, although my grandmother didn't want to believe these two Taoists, there were really no more guests in the birthday banquet, and she wanted to have two more people to be lively, so she invited the two Taoists into the birthday banquet. ”
"Hmm... If you can't pull people, you can just make up the numbers. Makes sense. ”
Fang Wuwei twisted his body to relieve the uncomfortable feeling of his hands being tied, then nodded and continued to listen.
"Haha! I didn't expect that as soon as those two Taoists entered the birthday banquet, no one cared, and they began to drink a lot!
Master Fang, do you know? At that time, the faces of my grandmother and great-grandmother were dark, and they both felt that they had been eaten and drunk by two Taoists!"
Speaking of this, Zheng Hongqin grinned, and then eased up a few breaths before excitedly continued:
Just when the two Taoists were blushing and burping, Grandma and Great-Grandmother were about to kick them out. Those two Taoists suddenly ran towards the inner room of the Zheng family as if they were crazy! One old and one young couldn't stop them!
Wow! At that time, more than a dozen guests and the Zheng family were all dumbfounded! I didn't expect that these two Taoists were not only eating and drinking for nothing, but also villains!"
“。。。 ”
Hearing this, Fang Wu cut a drop of cold sweat on his forehead, how could these two stupid Taoist priests be similar to himself? After eating and drinking, they began to do things, making the entire Zheng family jump, and the chickens and dogs were restless.
As a result, when my grandmother was the first to rush to the inner room out of breath, I saw the middle-aged white-haired Taoist suddenly took out a black pill from his arms, and walked quickly towards his grandfather Zheng Hongtian, who was critically ill on the bed!
And as soon as the black pill was taken out, it instantly emitted an indescribable stench! The entire inner room suddenly smelled worse than the in the pit, and grandma almost vomited it!"
Zheng Hongqin continued, and Fang Wuwei continued to listen. It's just that when Zheng Hongqin talked about the black pill and the stench of the pill, Fang Wuwei frowned, as if he had thought of something.
"Master Fang, just when Grandma was holding back and wanted to stop that middle-aged white-haired Taoist. The middle-aged white-haired Taoist had already taken the first step to stuff the black pill into the mouth of his grandfather, who was sick in bed and unconscious!
As soon as the black pill entered Grandpa's mouth, Grandpa, who was originally unconscious, suddenly let out a wail, and then opened his eyes like this, straightened up with a bang, and looked around with a confused expression!"
Zheng Hongqin's expression became solemn when he said this, and it seemed that he was about to talk about the key point. And Fang Wuwei's brows were furrowed deeper and deeper, and he was about to lose even the appearance of listening to the story.
After a pause, Zheng Hongqin's expression was solemn, and the mysterious Chaofang Wu Wei asked:
"Master Fang, do you know what that Taoist said later?"
“。。。。 ”
Fang Wuwei didn't answer, just looked at Zheng Hongqin with a frown. Because he seemed to remember that there was a pill in the Dan book in his mind, just like the one described in Zheng Hongqin's story!
And the elixir recorded in the Dan Book is an evil pill! a secret elixir in the Demon Gate Demon Dao!
