Chapter 37: Going Out (5)
Zhao House, Flower Hall.
The flower hall is located in the back garden, the wall is hung with spotted bamboo curtains on all sides, people sit in it and look out, but see that the pond water is clear, there are craggy strange stones, and there are more rare books and strange trees dotted in the meantime, lush and green are not luxuriant.
At this time, the season should not, if in the summer, the lotus in the garden is in full bloom, the scene is wonderful.
"Hahaha~" Zhao Yuan's exterior was ruddy, and at this time everything went well, he stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"Thank you for this incident!"
Picked up the hot tea, sipped it slightly, and said:
"The day before yesterday, the old man met Wang Yuan in the county office, and talked to him about family affairs" He smiled and praised him:
After he listened, he praised the Taoist chief to the old man, saying that the chief is a master of the Tao, and if he can ask the Taoist to make a move, he will definitely be able to catch it!"
"The old man was still holding on to what happened at the time, and he didn't want my son to be really lucky enough to get the Dao Chief's hand!hahaha~" Shaking his head and saying:
"The Taoist is really a master!"
Ma Ping smiled indifferently, ignored this stubble, and asked rhetorically:
"Are you familiar with the king of Chengnan?"
Zhao Yuanwai nodded again and again when he heard this, and explained:
"The two families of King Zhao have been friends for generations, and they are related by marriage"
"Speaking of which, the dog and the boy are still cousins! Dao Chief, you saved the two of them, and both of us are grateful!"
And he promised:
"If there is a need after the Taoist chief, he only needs to send someone to hold a letter in his hand, and my Zhao family will help you!"
When Ma Ping heard this, his face turned straight and said:
"In this way, Poor Dao will thank you!" arched his hand slightly, thought about it and said:
"Poor Dao, here are a few town house talismans written in the past, and I will send them to the staff" took out three runes with his hand and handed them out:
"Just post this rune on the lintel of the main hall and living room to drive away evil spirits."
Zhao Yuanwai was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly took it, and without looking closely, he put it in his arms, and arched his hand:
"So, thank you, aisle!"
As he was talking, he saw a young scholar in a long shirt and a scarf walk into the hall, his cheeks were slightly plump, his body was well-proportioned, and he was wearing a cyan Confucian robe.
The pace is not hurried, and the confidence is high.
It's just that his face is slightly pale, and his body obviously has a loss.
The man who came walked seven or eight feet away from them, bowed down and said:
"Father is well!"
It was the only son of the Zhao family who changed from a human to a dog, and finally turned back into an adult, and only came out after bathing and changing clothes at this time.
Zhao Yuanwai raised his head slightly, snorted coldly with a pale face, and said:
"Evil obstacles, why don't you hurry up and thank Daoist Chongming!?"
Zhao Gongzi hurriedly stood up straight again, and bowed deeply to Ma Ping:
"Xiaosheng, thank the aisle chief for saving his life!"
"The grace of the Taoist chief is like the waves of the sea and the river, and it is difficult to repay the small life in case of emergency!
The sedan chair is carried by everyone, and it may really need the help of such a snake in the future, and the Purple Mountain View will develop and grow, and it is inseparable from the support of secular forces.
Thinking so, Ma Ping smiled slightly and said:
"Childe is polite"
"Ji people have their own natural appearance, even if there is no help from the poor, the son will be trapped for a few more days at most, and he will definitely be able to be killed in the end!" Then his tone changed slightly, and he said:
"And this time, although Childe has suffered a little, it is not without benefits"
"Oh?" Zhao Yuanwai's heart moved, and he asked:
"What do you mean by this?"
Ma Ping smiled slightly and looked at Zhao Gongzi:
"When I was treating my son just now, Poor Dao used the divine power of the Purple Mountain Divine Venerable to ignite the wisdom of my son, and I will be like a tiger with wings when I study in the future."
Zhao Yuanwai was overjoyed, and hurriedly said:
"I don't want to have such benefits" turned around and greeted Zhao Gongzi:
"Wu'er, don't hurry up and thank the aisleman!"
Zhao Gongzi actually had a feeling that the classics that he couldn't understand in the past were like looking at the lines in his palm at this time, and he was originally curious about why this was the case, but the root cause was here!
Then he hurriedly bowed down again and said:
"Zhao Zi'an, thank you for the grace of the aisle!"
For a while, the guests and hosts were happy.
Zhao Yuanwai's face was full of red light, and his heart moved and asked:
"I just heard the Taoist Long Word and the Purple Mountain Divine Venerable, I don't know if it is the immortal there?
Ma Ping smiled in his heart, and said:
"This god is the god of heaven and righteousness, and he is in charge of the Purple Mountain"
Purple Mountain God, Purple Mountain View!
Got it!
Zhao Yuanwai felt that the door was clear, and after calculating the cost slightly, he arched his hand and said:
"My family has a peach orchard in Purple Mountain, and I originally wanted to give it to the Taoist chief, but I didn't dare to forget the grace of the Purple Mountain Divine Venerable, and I dared to ask for the peach orchard to be changed to the Purple Mountain Shrine" Apologetic:
"If you are disrespectful, please also ask Dao Chang Haihan!"
Ma Ping's mind moved slightly, and he knew what the old man was thinking, and he must have misunderstood that he wanted more benefits, so he shook his head slightly.
But it is not bad to get a shrine for Qiao Niang, it is very beneficial to her, at least with the shrine, she can attract believers, and it is also good for opening up the blessed land of the gods in the future.
He nodded and said:
"Poor road is nothing to do here" goes on to mention:
"That is the god of heaven, but he was registered with the emperor of heaven, if you want to worship outside, you must be sincere!"
When Zhao Yuanwai heard this, he knew that he might have thought wrong, so he nodded solemnly:
"The old man saves!" clapped his hands:
Smack!
I saw the chief butler walking into the hall with a brocade box in both hands, and standing on one side with his head bowed.
Zhao Yuanwai took the brocade box, opened it, and inside was a document, pinched the corner of the document with his fingers, held it in his hand, and handed it out with both hands:
"This is the title deed of the peach orchard, and it will be handed over to the viewer today."
"As for the shrine, the old man will arrange it later, and it will be completed within two months."
This was said before, so after a little shirk, Ma Ping took the title deed into his arms.
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly there was a cry outside:
"Master, it's a big deal~"
Everyone turned their heads to look, and saw the second butler crawling with his feet, and used his feet together to enter the flower hall, and the silk clothes on his body were stained with filth, and he threw himself all the way to the hall, threw himself on the ground and cried:
"Master, third ladyγγγγγγ My sister γγγγγγ β
"No !!"
"Ah!" The two members of the Zhao family suddenly widened their eyes, and when they looked at each other, Zhao Yuanwai shouted:
"Presumptuous! How do people die!? How do the maids in the room take care of them!"
"Come on, seal off the courtyard where the third lady lives"
"No one is allowed to leave the house without my warrant!"
The servants did not dare to slack off, and immediately bowed down to answer the order:
"Yes, sir!"
Zhao Yuanwai also didn't dare to slack off, the death of a person is a big deal after all, so he turned his head and commanded:
"Big housekeeper, you take the old man's post to the yamen to report the case, and ask the people from the yamen to deal with it!"
The chief butler bowed:
"Yes, sir!" turned and went outside.
Then he saw the second housekeeper who was still lying on the ground crying, Zhao Yuanwai felt disgusted for no reason, so he waved his hand and said:
"You go down too!"
"Go to your sister's door and keep watch!"
The second housekeeper climbed from a small person to the current position, and he is also a character who understands people's hearts, and at this time, he saw that his master completely ignored the friendship with his sister and scolded him at will.
There was a chill in his heart, and he lowered his head and said:
"Yes, sir!"
After everything was arranged, Zhao Yuanwai felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he sighed and sat down:
"Things are not going well!"
Zhao Gongzi persuaded:
"Father doesn't have to worry too much, with the situation of my family, I think the yamen will handle it impartially"
Zhao Yuanwai shook his head, and then said to Ma Ping:
"Let the Taoist chief smile, I originally wanted to talk to the Taoist chief for a long time, but I didn't want such a thing to happen, it seems that I can only wait for the future."
"Later, the people from the yamen will come back, and the old man will send the Taoist chief out."
Ma Ping nodded:
"Okay, I'll bother you next time"
