The moon tonight looks like the face of Baoyu...
Jia Cong told the old lady exactly what she was worried about these days. Master Pardon actually slapped his thigh and said, "This is a good thing, why should you refuse?"
"Dad, aren't you afraid that Princess Tu will hang Brother Bao on a tree and whip him?"
"She dares!"
The Pardon Master's eyes widened with anger, and then he coughed awkwardly: "Of course, this is also possible...Ahem, I'd better not do it."
Jia Jiu brought over the cold fruit wine. The cold fruit wine was perfect for quenching thirst in this summer.
After handing the fruit juice to the two of them, Jia Jiu took over the conversation and said: "General, Junior Third Master, actually Second Master Bao needs a real wife who can stand up, otherwise Second Master Bao will have a terrible life with his temperament." It’s a lot harder.”
The words don't sound very nice, but they make perfect sense.
Mr. Pardon also became serious and nodded, "What Laojiu said makes sense. Baoyu's temperament is too gentle. If Lao Er and I leave, he will not be able to keep the family home."
"I and my second brother are still here, how can I watch my second brother Bao suffer..."
Before Jia Cong finished speaking, Master Pardon shook his head.
"You don't understand. You will have to live separately in the future. How can brothers who live across the same room take care of other people's family affairs? The old lady also saw this, so she was anxious to get Baoyu an engagement."
Jia Jiu nodded in time, the little fat man hadn't turned this corner yet.
"General, there are many people in the capital who are interested in Second Master Bao. Even Duke Cheng'en's mansion is asking privately. Duke Cheng'en has a granddaughter who is still unmarried."
Duke Cheng'en's Mansion is the Queen Mother's natal family, and Mr. Pardon is a little confused.
The Cao family is not an ordinary martial arts relative. They have contributed to raising the present generation and have established wealth for at least three generations.
He asked doubtfully: "Cao family? Cao family also inquired about Baoyu?"
"Indeed, the youngest daughter of the second master of the Cao family should be about the same age as the second daughter of our family. The second master of the Bao family is one year old, which is the time to talk about marriage. A few days ago, the second master of the Bao family went to the racecourse with the old lady for a banquet. I wrote a few poems at that time, which attracted applause from the whole house. General Cao, the second master, likes poetry and calligraphy just like the second master."
Jia Jiu explained the reason in detail, and the little fat man said in confusion: "There is this other thing? Why didn't I know?"
"The mistress was busy being a doll and taking care of the children at that time."
"Baoyu is indeed naturally intelligent and gifted in poetry."
Master Pardon was moved again. If the Queen Mother's family was willing to marry their daughter to Baoyu, the future of the Jia family would be more stable.
"Cao Dudu's sister?"
Cao Jiugong is good-looking, so I guess his sister is not too bad either. Second brother Bao is in the late stage of Yangou, the type that cannot be saved...
"San'er, you can inquire some other time and see how the Cao family girl is doing?"
Master Pardon thought it would happen as soon as it came out, so he immediately started arranging tasks for Jia Cong.
Jia Cong thought of Xichun's children's words today and asked tentatively: "Dad, what about Sister Yun?"
Jia She asked in surprise: "What should I do? What happened to Girl Yun?"
"The third master is talking about the rumors in the house, saying that the second master Bao and Miss Yun are childhood sweethearts..."
"It's ridiculous! I've only been at peace for a few days, and now I can't control my mouth again..."
After a brief moment of anger, Jia She became strangely thoughtful. Speaking of Yun Yatou and Baoyu, it's not impossible.
No, you have to discuss this matter with the old lady and think it over carefully.
"father……"
Mr. Pardon, who was deep in thought, waved his hand: "Go to bed, you will be busy tomorrow. Don't worry about this matter for now. I will discuss it with the old lady and your second uncle."
Meow~
In the morning of August, even the wind was hot and dry.
The little fat man felt hotter and hotter as he slept. When he woke up, he found two cats, one white and one yellow, lying on his belly.
For some reason, the two little raccoon slaves at home seemed to like Jia Cong more, and they accidentally ran from Rongxi Hall to Jia Cong's place.
Jia Cong bulged his belly. During the ups and downs, the two squinting little raccoons opened their eyes completely. They both stretched out and began to step on the soft belly...
"Hey, this is my belly, not the cat's paw!"
Seeing the two little milk cats showing their claws and preparing to polish them, Jia Cong immediately sat up, grabbed the backs of their necks with one hand and lifted them up to play the piano to the cats.
After both cats listened to the "Cat Virtue" education, he got up, dressed and washed.
Just as she was getting ready to have breakfast, Daiyu had already brought the little girl Xichun, who was wiping her tears, to Jia Cong's courtyard.
"Little Orange!"
Just as Jia Cong picked up a bun, Xichun, wiping his tears, rushed over and picked up the little orange cat that was circling around Jia Cong's feet.
"Sister Lin, have you had breakfast?"
Daiyu shook her head with crooked eyebrows, picked up the white cat Shuang'er who ran forward, and said to Jia Cong: "There is no time to eat. The fourth sister cried early in the morning and said that Xiao Ju was missing. If it hadn't happened, Uncle, I heard that the cat has come to your place, I guess she can flood the Rongxi Hall with her tears."
"Xiao Jixiang, go and tell the kitchen to send some more food. And cat food, please send it to me..."
Jia Cong shouted out the door, and the maid promised.
"I don't know how these two cats got in. When I woke up early in the morning, they were lying on my belly. I was woken up by the heat."
Giggle...
Xichun couldn't help but laugh out loud. She stopped lecturing Xiao Ju who was running around and started laughing while hugging her belly.
Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled when she heard this, and nodded the little white cat's head: "I am the one who feeds you, but I only know how to please Brother Cong. Be careful that I sell you."
Meow~
Xichun also followed suit, but cats probably don't understand how to play the piano to cats. After a long period of "cat virtue" education, they only got a burst of meows and a bowl of cat food.
Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there is nothing else going on during the day except the family dinner at noon.
The old lady and Mrs. Xing were worried about the banquet. The second sister Yingchun and the third sister Tanchun went to help. Daiyu, Xiangyun and Xichun just stayed in Jia Cong's small courtyard to play.
Under the shade of the trees, incense drove away mosquitoes.
As soon as the small table was set up, Daiyu and Xiangyun were playing chess, and Xichun followed Jia Cong, each with a rocking chair and a kitten lying on each belly, swaying...
In the comfortable atmosphere, Jia Cong had been in a relationship with Lao Jun for several epochs.
Huhu...
The little fat man's bulging belly rose and fell, and the little white cat's tail swung.
Xichun on the other side also fell into sleep. There was no Laojun in her dream, only plates of delicious food, plates of snacks, bunches of candied haws...
I met Laojun in my dream. After enduring the little fat man’s nagging for several epochs, Laojun finally got tired of it.
With a wave of his long sleeves, Jia Cong opened his eyes.
He raised his hands, still so fat! I looked around again and found nothing...
"Well, you didn't give me a gourd of elixir. How stingy I am!"
After muttering to himself, Jia Cong sat up and felt that he felt relaxed after venting his worries in his dream.
He couldn't help but chant: "When I have time, I will take a few pillows to sleep with a book, and I will dream about the otherworld in the pot. It's as if Xi Yi has a face to face, and the truth has to be passed down in person."
Um?
Daiyu and Xiangyun, who were concentrating on fighting on the chessboard, raised their heads and looked at the energetic Jia Cong in confusion.
After Daiyu gave birth to a child, she said to Jia Cong: "Brother Cong, did you meet an immortal in your dream? Tell me, how many volumes of immortal literature did the immortal pass on to you?"
"How did Sister Lin know?"
Daiyu tilted her head and blinked: "Didn't you say it in your poem? The truth has to be passed down personally."
"Ha, dreaming about gods is true, but this poem was written by Jie Yuanlang, a man who loves braised chicken wings."
Jia Cong slumped down on the rocking chair again, put the little white cat on his stomach, and said to the two of them: "In my dream, I ascended to the thirty-third heaven.
When we arrived at Lihentian Doushui Palace, we had a long chat with Taishang Laojun..."
"I have been practicing Taoism for decades, but I have never had a dream of meeting an immortal. Brother Cong's fortune makes me envious!"
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter outside the small courtyard, and then two people appeared outside the door, the maid Yuanyang beside the old lady, and Taoist Zhang from Qingxu Temple.
Jia Cong stood up quickly, Daiyu gently woke up Xichun who was sleeping, and the four of them rushed to greet him.
This Taoist priest is no ordinary person. He is the stand-in for Jia Cong's great-grandfather, a serious elder of Jia's family.
Another point is that the old Taoist priest was personally called the "Great Illusion Immortal" by the late emperor. He is now in charge of the Taoist Seal Department, and he is also called the "Zhujie Zhenren". Nowadays, princes, feudal towns and villages call him an immortal...
It is said that in the Tianshi Temple in Longhu Mountain, there are few who have a higher status than the old Taoist priests. After all, there are only a few in the whole of Daxia who can wear purple robes.
"Grandpa Zhang, why are you here?"
Jia Cong bowed down and the three women behind him also made a blessing ceremony.
Because Taoist Zhang is an elder of Jia's family, there is no need to avoid taboos. Taoist Zhang touched the heads of each one to express blessing and avoid disaster.
Then he explained to Jia Cong: "Tonight's palace banquet, His Majesty sent an edict to the old man to enter the palace. I have nothing to do during the day, so I came to the house to have a look..."
"It's a good relationship, but you haven't been home for a while."
Jia Cong invited the old Taoist to the hospital. The maid had already arranged the tables and chairs. After brewing some tea, the two of them seemed to be sitting and talking.
After talking briefly for a while, the old Taoist priest looked at everyone carefully.
Suddenly, he raised his hand again, touched the little fat man's head, and said with a smile: "Brother Cong, you are very good!"
Um?
Jia Cong asked confusedly: "Grandpa Zhang, I remember you also said this when my father took me to Guanzhong three years ago."
The old Taoist priest once again became a riddle man and winked at Jia Cong: "The old Taoist did say, brother Cong, the Great Dao is fifty, the Tianyan is forty-nine, and one can escape from one. And you are that one!"
"You made me guess again!"
Jia Cong wanted to say something and drag the Riddler out of the house. He smiled bitterly and said, "Grandpa Zhang, what does this mean?"
"Don't leak the secret. If you talk too much, I'm afraid I won't survive ninety-nine."
Taoist Zhang laughed, dropped the topic, and said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin's body looks much stronger than three years ago. The disaster is over. There will be no more twists and turns in this life, and everything will go smoothly."
Daiyu Yingying bowed her head and responded softly: "Thank you Heavenly Master for your blessing. I have received care from my relatives and found a good doctor, and now I am no different from ordinary people."
"Miss Yun has gone through the ordeal and everything will go smoothly. The only thing is, remember not to trust his words easily. You will ultimately have to navigate your own way in the future."
Xiang Yun was confused when he heard this, but seeing that the old Taoist was unwilling to say anything in detail, he could only bow down and thank him in a daze.
Xichun saw that both sisters had received guidance and blessings, and quickly raised her face: "What about me? What about me? Grandpa Zhang, you haven't said anything about me yet?"
"Four girls, it's a blessing to be able to eat!"
Ha ha ha ha……
Jia Cong couldn't help laughing, causing Xichun to rush forward and punch his chest with his fists.
However, Jia Cong stretched out his right hand and pressed her head on her little arms and legs. The little girl kicked her short legs and danced her little fists, not even touching the corner of Jia Cong's clothes.
Daiyu hugged him and whispered in his ear: "I'll help you beat him later!"
Xichun then gave Jia Cong a roll of his eyes, and turned angrily, planning to break up with her dear third brother for a quarter of an hour, unless he gave her a barbecue...
The old Taoist priest took out three wrapped talismans from his sleeve and gave one to each of the three girls.
Especially for Xichun, he patted his head and said, "I didn't lie to you just now. Your blessings in this life are all reflected in eating them. You might even get a good marriage after eating them."
Seeing that he didn't seem to be faking it, Jia Cong asked tentatively: "Grandpa Zhang, are you really good at fortune telling?"
"The old Taoist is a real person in the Taoist sect, how can he not have this ability? Do you want to talk to the old Taoist about science again?"
The old Taoist priest did not answer directly, but instead mentioned what Jia Cong had said before.
Ahem...
"Then, are there really gods in this world?"
Jia Cong's question made the old Taoist priest confused. He shook his head and said regretfully: "The old Taoist doesn't know either. People who are born with wisdom have appeared, so why don't the gods appear?"
The last half of the sentence seemed to be the old Taoist priest talking to himself. The voice was very low, but Jia Cong heard it clearly.
Ding!
His heartbeat quickened and he stared at the old man closely.
Being born with wisdom, does it mean that you carry the memories of your previous life?
However, the old man seemed to be confused by Jia Cong's question and did not speak for a long time.
It wasn't until Jia She walked in that the old Taoist priest woke up from his confusion and said to Jia Cong: "Is it important whether the gods or immortals are important? At least the human world has the final say in matters in this world!"
Daiyu had already taken the two little girls to Rongxi Hall, and the old Taoist priest finally got down to business.
"Enhou, there are traces of the monks you asked the old Tao to pay attention to before. They appeared in Suzhou, took away the famous Suzhou scholar Zhen Shiyin, and then disappeared into the mountains of the southwest."
Jia She's expression instantly became serious. He raised his hands and said, "Old Master, who are these monks? Everywhere they have appeared and everyone they have come into contact with is related to my family. And Lin Yatou, Xue The girl from the family, and the girl from the Zhen family who was rescued by Brother Cong, have all come into contact with him. Isn’t it too strange?”
The old Taoist priest sighed: "There is no record of these two people in the Daolu Division's classics, and even the master brother of Longhu Mountain has never seen these two people. The purpose of the old Taoist coming home today is to say, be careful Be on guard!"
"But we can't always be on guard. How can we guard against thieves for a thousand days?"
Jia She smiled bitterly and said: "Back then, you told me that the Jia family was about to suffer a catastrophe that could not be stopped by human effort. The only opportunity should be Brother Cong, and now it seems that is indeed the case. Heavenly Master, how about you stop guessing? Let me take a test, where does this monk come from? So that I can be mentally prepared."...
