"Master Zhang, let's eat some biscuits to cushion our stomach first. We'll find a place to eat later."
I went to the roadside supermarket and bought two bottles of soda and a large bag of Wangwang snow cakes, and then returned to the car.
"So you like to eat this cake, and I also like to eat it." Master Zhang said with a smile.
"I often ate it when I was a kid, and today I ate it to suit the occasion." I smiled and opened the soda and handed it over.
"Is this the occasion?" Master Zhang was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Yes, yes, who doesn't like to be prosperous!"
I didn't explain it either.
The two ate a little in the car, and Master Zhang continued to drive on the road. About half an hour later, the car entered Meicheng.
"It's changed quite a bit."
As I looked at the night scene outside the window, I couldn't help but think of the first time my grandfather and I took a van to Meicheng, and my eyes felt a little moist for a while.
"When did you come to Meicheng?" Master Zhang asked.
"It was ten years ago."
"That's no wonder. In the past ten years, Meicheng has changed a lot. Let's just say that the Cao family's old house has been restored. Go and take a look now. It will shock you!" Master Zhang said with a smile.
"What happened to the Cao family's old house?" I asked.
"Let's go take a look and find out." Master Zhang stepped on the accelerator and drove towards the southwest corner of Meicheng.
I remember that the ancestral home of the Cao family is indeed in the southwest of Meicheng, but when Master Zhang drove the car to the place and pointed to the front and told me that it was the ancestral home of the Cao family, I was still surprised.
I saw a large manor in front of me, with bright lights and a myriad of atmospheres. Its scale and grandeur were more than ten times greater than the ancestral home of the Cao family in my memory!
"Some people believe that this is a palace!" Master Zhang sighed, "But they deserve to be blessed. Let's just say that the descendants of the Cao family are good. Each one is more powerful than the other!"
"Cao Song should have four children, right?" I asked.
"Yes, Boss Cao has three sons and one daughter. All of these three sons are the best among men! Oh, it's so irritating that people are more popular than others!" Master Zhang was very envious, "By the way, the second young master of the Cao family and You are still traveling with us."
"Come together? Do you have Feng Shui?" I was a little surprised.
"Yes, yes, I heard that the second young master of the Cao family does not like doing business, but likes Feng Shui. Master Gu, who is famous in Meicheng, is the master of the second young master of the Cao family." Master Zhang said.
"Master Zhang, you know a lot." I smiled.
"Hey!" Master Zhang waved his hand and said with a smile, "I have an old cousin. His son-in-law works in the Cao family, and he is a very capable kind. My old cousin often asks me to drop by to see his daughter, so I know A lot of things.”
"So that's it." I suddenly smiled.
"Although the Cao family is full of talented people, if we compare with the fourth lady of the Cao family, everyone in the Cao family will be compared again!" Master Zhang sighed.
"How do you say that?" I knew he was talking about Cao Xuerong.
"This Miss Cao San is not only good-looking, but also smart, gentle and kind since she was a child." Master Zhang said.
I thought to myself, good looks and smartness are all. As for being gentle and kind, if Master Zhang saw Cao Xuerong back then, I'm afraid he would never be able to say such things again.
"Everyone is spreading the rumor that nine generations of the Cao family have done good deeds and accumulated good fortune, and finally a destined noble girl like Miss Cao San was born. Her destiny is indescribable. She is a phoenix in the sky, not a mortal!"
"Yeah, pretty cool." I nodded.
Perhaps seeing that I was a bit disapproving, Master Zhang added, "It's really magical to say that when Miss Cao San was nine years old, an immortal came to the Cao family and accepted Miss Cao San as a disciple."
"How can there be any immortals in this world?" I laughed.
"That's what everyone says. I don't know if it's true or not." Master Zhang chuckled, "But many people saw the magical scene when Miss Cao San became her apprentice."
"What kind of magic method?" I became interested.
"At that time, many people saw Miss Cao San wearing a long white dress, like a little fairy, holding a white jade lantern with a blue lotus carved in her hand to worship her."
When Master Zhang mentioned this, he was afraid that I was not clear about it, so he explained, "That white jade lamp is said to be an heirloom of the Cao family. It was specially selected by Miss Cao San for her apprenticeship ceremony."
I heard it funny for a while.
The white jade lantern with the blue lotus carved on it was clearly a betrothal gift given to Cao Xuerong by my grandfather, but they actually said it was their family heirloom. How shameless!
"Miss Cao San's bow was incredible!" Master Zhang said excitedly, "At that time, a large number of fireflies suddenly flew out from nowhere and danced all over the sky above the Cao family's ancestral home. What's even more surprising is that the Cao family's All the trees suddenly bloomed!"
"Everyone is spreading the word that this is a sign of great good fortune when the stars and rivers turn upside down and spring comes out of dead trees!"
"Sure enough, from that day on, the Cao family became more prosperous and promoted steadily. Do you think this is mysterious?"
"It's quite mysterious." I nodded and asked, "Then what happened to Cao Xuerong?"
"After Miss Cao San became a disciple, she followed her master. As for where she went, we don't know. However, it is said that Miss Cao San also returns to Meicheng every year, so there are often many people outside the Cao family's old house. People stop here just to try their luck and see if they can be lucky enough to see Miss Cao San's beauty and get some good luck." Master Zhang said with a smile.
"Are these people?" I pointed to the crowd lining up outside the Cao family's mansion.
"That's not true. These people are here to receive the Cao Family Fortune Gold." Master Zhang took a look and said with a smile.
"Fujin?"
"That's Cao Jiali's rule. Anyone who really encounters difficulties can go to Cao's house to receive a sum of money, which is called Cao's fortune. There are eighteen quotas every day." Master Zhang explained.
As we were talking, we suddenly heard a commotion coming from the Cao family's mansion.
I saw one person rushing out of the crowd, kneeling down at the gate and kowtowing.
"What's going on?" Master Zhang glanced at him in surprise.
Suddenly he let out an "ouch" and shouted, "It seems to be my old cousin, you are here, let me go and take a look!"
After saying that, he hurriedly opened the door, got out of the car, and ran over.
I saw that the man kowtowing was an old man in simple clothes. Master Zhang ran over and tried to pull him up, but he refused.
Amid the murmurs of the onlookers, a middle-aged man walked out of the Cao family mansion and hurriedly ran over to pull the old man up.
When I saw this man's appearance clearly, I felt a little dazed for a moment.
Isn't this the same Brother Hao who dug me out of Fengtou Ridge?
