19. Daddy comes to the door
Thinking of Xu Da's warning, Wang Qilin asked, "What do you mean by this, Daoist?"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said: "Don't say it, don't say it, don't leak it." ”
Xu Da pouted: "What about returning chickens, why don't you talk about toads?"
The old Taoist priest looked surprised: "Hey, how do you know the name of the old Tao?"
Xu Da was confused: "How do I know your name?"
The old Taoist priest stroked his beard again and smiled: "Yes, how do you know that the name of the old Taoist is a toad?"
"Your name is a toad?" Xu was annoyed: "Old man, do you dare to tease the uncle?"
The old Taoist priest pinched the Fa Yin and sang: "Immeasurable Dao Venerable, when did the old Taoist tease you? The old Taoist name is the toad, Xie toad." ”
Wang Qilin suddenly said: "No wonder you draw a toad wearing a robe on paper, it turns out that it is your mark." ”
The old Taoist priest pinched the magic seal again and bent down slightly at him: "Exactly." ”
Wang Qilin asked again: "What do you mean by 'three and a half months'?"
Xie Toad still shook his head, and Wang Qilin added, "I order you to answer!"
Hearing this, the old Taoist priest smiled helplessly and said, "Why do you want to ask me, Lord Wang?
Wang Qilin's face suddenly turned ugly.
If he was only suspicious of Xu Da's words before, then after Du Cao's resignation and Xie Toad's fortune-telling, he is now convinced of the curse of Xiaoyin in Fulong Township.
He joined the Heavenly Prison because he wanted to prolong his life, but he was going to die young, what is this?
Bad luck open the door for bad luck, bad luck to get home!
A few days ago, he laughed at the shopkeeper of Juxianglou for taking the road narrow, but he was good and died!
Nothing happened in the township next, and he was ready to investigate the inside story of the curse.
Before he could start, the day after he received Xie Toad, on the first day of the fourth month, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
Wang Qilin and Xu Da were having lunch in the courtyard when they heard a knock on the door and asked, "Who?"
A rough reply sounded outside: "Your father!"
Xu Da was furious, and he was about to kill him when he dropped his chopsticks: "Grass damn, dare to go up to me to listen to the heavenly prison to play hooligans? Lao Qi, don't move, see how I go out to get him!"
Wang Qilin smiled bitterly: "Don't talk nonsense, his mother is my grandmother." ”
He went to open the door, and an old man with an old sweat scarf, a gray homespun coat, and straw sandals on his feet was grinning with his head shrinking.
This is exactly his father, Wang Liuwu, an old farmer in Dawang Village, Torii Township.
Archway Township and Fulong Township both belong to Jixiang County, but the two places are quite far apart, and there are 60 miles.
Seeing his father's dusty appearance, Wang Qilin asked, "Dad, why are you here?"
Xu Da looked left and right messily, and then snatched the door.
Xie Toad sat at the window and laughed: "Xu Lishi, you are so bold, you actually want to be Wang Xiaoyin's grandfather." ”
After speaking, he stretched out his crippled right hand and waved his sleeve, and the whole person suddenly appeared in front of the two of them: "Old Dao, thank you, Toad has seen the old man of the Wang family." ”
Wang Liuwu was stunned by this scene, and he was in a hurry and panic.
Seeing this, Xie Toad's sleeves waved, and the whole person disappeared again.
Wang Liuwu was amazed: "This lord, your colleague, this master, he and him, Xiao Qi, this is a master!
Wang Qilin said: "Your son's subordinates. ”
Wang Liuwu's eyes widened: "Your subordinates? Ah, my God, Cui Broken Mouth is not nonsense, are you really a small seal?"
The transportation in the rural area is inconvenient, and the official postman only travels once in half a month, and Wang Qilin did not have time to pass the news to his family after he was promoted to Xiaoyin, but the villagers have spread the news by word of mouth, and the news has obviously reached their village.
Wang Qilin sighed and said, "Yes, it's really a small seal." Dad, you came all the way to Fulong Township just to confirm this news?"
Wang Liuwu grinned and said, "Not only for this news, but also to send you a letter, when do you have time to go home? ”
Wang Qilin felt a big headache: "My career has just started, and then I want to get married?"
Wang Liuwu glared: "Of course, the saints all say that a manly husband has a family, you have to start a family first." ”
He saw that his son was dressed in a black official uniform, and he was a little timid for a while, so he added: "If you don't want to start a family in a hurry, then go back and have a look first, we can't refute the face of the clan elder, right?"
Wang Qilin nodded and said: "Yes, then so be it, I happen to have nothing to do in the past two days, so I will take a leave to go home with you, and I will just send you back the money I just sent." ”
Wang Liuwu was immediately overjoyed, he puffed up his chest and said: "This dare is good, go back and your father will lead you to the ancestral hall and the ancestral tomb to worship, thank you a lot for the blessing of the ancestors, our Wang family has an official!"
Wang Qilin thought about Xiaoyin's curse, and felt that his ancestors didn't bless him much.
On the stone table in the courtyard there were leftovers, a large pot of white rice, a plate of fried chicken, a plate of braised eel and a bowl of fried pickles in lard.
The son is now an official, and he can't be embarrassed as a father.
Wang Qilin was a little sad, and said, "Dad, you sit down first, I'll go get you a bowl of rice, you haven't eaten lunch yet, have you?"
Wang Liuwu smiled dryly: "I've eaten, I've eaten, you see that when I went out, your mother cooked sweet potatoes for me, and my poor family was rich, and I was full." ”
At this time, a big black face poked in at the door, and Xu Da said weakly: "Seventh, uncle, let's go to Juxianglou to eat, I just went over to book a table." ”
Wang Qilin said: "That's okay, I'll invite you today, it just so happens that we have to go to Juxianglou to talk to the shopkeeper about compensation." ”
He called out to Xie Toad, and a group of four people entered Juxiang Building.
Xie Toad took a look at the shopkeeper, the two of them were embarrassed and the other was weak-hearted, and the shopkeeper knew that he had already made a visiting star, so he preemptively apologized, saying that he had no eyes.
Wang Qilin waved his hand and said: "Shopkeeper, prepare a table for us, I actually came to settle accounts this time, ...... a few days ago"
"We won't mention what happened a few days ago, let's not mention it. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "This matter is my fault first, I wish someone someone to have no beads and no eyes to know Mount Tai." ”
Xie Toad limped into the door and said, "I wish the shopkeeper doesn't need to be like this, this matter is Lao Dao's mistake, and Lao Dao will be responsible." You can rest assured, I will compensate you one by one for how much the food you lost a few days ago is worth. ”
The largest private room has been reserved for a squire celebrating his grandson's birthday, and Wang Qilin took the initiative to ask for a small private room.
As a result, as soon as they served the food and wine, the squire took the initiative to come over to toast, and apologized to everyone again and again for occupying the large private room, and drank three glasses of wine in a row.
Xiao Erlisuo's serving has three dishes and one soup as usual, as well as a roast chicken and half a stewed goose, all of which are hard dishes.
Looking at the steaming chicken, duck and fish on the table, smelling the fragrant aroma, and recalling the politeness of the squire before, Wang Liuwu couldn't help but sigh: "It's so good, it's so good." ”
