The Xian family mostly went out at night. It was around seven o'clock that night, and as night fell, there was a commotion outside the yard. Our family hurried out to greet us, and sure enough, my father-in-law, Lang Zhenxiong, was here.
The old man did not come alone. He was followed by several spirited young men, carrying handbags on their shoulders, all of which were rare mountain medicinal materials. There were several boxes of old wild ginseng alone.
"Okay, you guys put your things down and go back first. Be careful on the way and don't scare the villagers." Lang Zhenxiong shouted, and several young men who came with him bowed and exited my yard, and immediately turned into a few wild wolves Disappeared into the night.
The guests and hosts sat down, and after some greetings, Lang Zhenxiong took the coquettish Lang Nier and looked at her carefully for a while: "Oh, it's still the old Cheng family that feeds people. My girls have all gained weight!"
Lang Nier's face turned red, causing a burst of laughter.
After all, Lang Zhenxiong is a fairy. My parents were a little reserved at first. After a few glasses of wine, they got closer, especially my dad. The more we chatted with the generous Lang Zhenxiong, the more speculative they became. If not for the fact that they already have children and in-laws, Due to the high-level relationship, I guess the two of you will have to bow down on the spot.
Upon seeing this, my mother quickly winked at my dad and asked him to talk about my marriage to Lang Nier. Only then did my dad think of business. He took Lang Zhenxiong’s hand and said, "My dear, the marriage of our two children was decided more than ten years ago." Now that the children have grown up, we and I want to let them get married, what do you think?"
Lang Zhenxiong glanced at Lang Nier and me, and chuckled: "I understand what you two are thinking. I also hope that they will get married soon and give me a grandson!"
At this point, Lang Zhenxiong burped and changed the topic: "But, neither of them are ordinary people, especially Cheng Yi, who is now the leader of five families. All the immortal families in the three eastern provinces are watching. I'm afraid he wants to get married." Several conditions must be met.”
My parents looked at each other when they heard this, and my dad asked tentatively: "My parents, we really like this child Nizi, and we will never treat her badly in the future, but our old Cheng family has a poor family background. If you give me some conditions, We go to the city to buy a house or a car, but we really can’t do that now.”
"Hey, these are not the conditions I'm talking about!" Seeing that my parents misunderstood what he meant, Lang Zhenxiong immediately explained with a smile: "Cheng Yi is in Wujia Xiangtang, and the merit he has accumulated now is not enough, so he wants to get married at this time. When they get married, I'm afraid that several other immortals will be dissatisfied and say that he is in love with his children and neglects business. Their marriage is a matchmaker guaranteed by Hei Mama, so Hei Mama can't let Hei Mama listen to gossip, right?"
My parents suddenly realized that this matter involved Mama Hei, and they had to take care of it, so they had to ask Lang Zhenxiong what he should do to be careful.
Lang Zhenxiong picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "The conditions I mentioned are actually not difficult to handle. As long as Cheng Yi does more important things as a disciple, accumulates more merits for the Waiwu Immortal Hall, and spreads his reputation. In this way, the hall will become immortals." Everyone has face, so no one will gossip."
"Oh, what you said is simple. How can you accumulate so much merit? Moreover, in mountainous and rural areas, it is not easy to spread your skills no matter how high they are. It's just a place as big as ten miles and eight villages." Lang Nier took Lang Zhenxiong's arm. , began to pout and act coquettishly.
"Damn girl, you are sure that your father and I will not stand idly by!" Lang Zhenxiong pretended to be angry and rolled his eyes at his daughter, took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and threw them on the dining table.
"Nowadays, rural people are running to the city, and there are three religions and nine streams, and there is a mixture of fish and dragons. Therefore, evildoers and disasters are more likely to breed in the city than in the countryside. If you want to accumulate more merits and become famous, you cannot stay in the valleys." Lang Zhenxiong took out the tobacco rod from his waist. Point: "I gave this house in the county to you and your family. In the future, if you go to the city to develop, you may get twice the result with half the effort."
Lang Nier picked up the key, looked at it, and hugged Lang Zhenxiong's neck: "Thank you, Dad! But it's not easy to transfer Xiangtang to the city. Even if we have a house, we need money for water, electricity, food and drink, and we don't have much savings. , would you like to provide more funding?”
"Excessive! You haven't even gotten married yet, and you're trying to find ways to dig into your father's family?!" Lang Zhenxiong's nostrils were filled with smoke: "Your father, I have lived in the cave for a long time and have no cash on me, but I can show you the way. When you arrive in the city, If you do this well, you might be able to earn a lot of money."
Then Lang Zhenxiong talked about an incident. It turned out that he had some friendship with the Miao Zhu of the Chenghuang Temple in the county. He heard the Miao Zhu mention during a casual chat that recently there was a wealthy businessman named Zhao in the east of the city. There was something wrong with his ancestral grave, which caused his business to be unsatisfactory. Experts who are proficient in Feng Shui were also invited to take a look, but in the end they all ran away.
"Feng Shui? Ding Jiugong taught me a little before, but I only know the basics. I don't know if I can handle it well." When I heard that it was about Feng Shui, I felt a little uneasy.
"What are you afraid of? Sister Yuxia is the Centipede Immortal and is familiar with the trends of mountains and rivers. When the time comes, you ask her to take action. Isn't this a trivial matter?" Lang Zhenxiong exhaled a puff of smoke: "Anyway, you two will enter the city as soon as possible. When the time comes, the person named Zhao will Rich businessmen will naturally come to you."
After Lang Zhenxiong said this, he stood up and said goodbye: "After we have had enough wine and food, thank you for your hospitality. It's time for me to leave. The path for our two children has been paved for them. It's up to them how they go!"
My father-in-law made arrangements for me, and my parents approved of it, so they no longer pressed for Lang Nier and I's marriage. Instead, they encouraged us young people to go out of our homes and visit the city.
Lang Nier and I couldn't be happier. She had been practicing in the mountains and I hadn't seen much of the world. We were both looking forward to life in the city. We packed our luggage overnight, and the next day we were there under the care of our parents. Following the instructions, we set foot on the road into the city.
Most areas in the Northeast are vast and sparsely populated. The county town is relatively densely populated because it is close to the provincial capital. There are many high-rise buildings and heavy traffic on the streets. Lang Nier and I carried our luggage and walked around the streets while inquiring about the location of the house Lang Zhenxiong gave us. .
After walking around for a long time, we finally arrived at a small courtyard with a front door on Folk Street.
The house was bigger than we imagined. In addition to the facade and small courtyard, there were two bedrooms and a living room with a kitchen and bathroom. The environment was also relatively clean. The two of us started to clean it up and offered the memorial tablets we had brought to the Xiantang. Our hearts were filled with gratitude. The longing for a new life.
The next day I woke up from my sleep. Lang Nier was already making breakfast in the kitchen. I was leaning on the door frame of the living room to admire her busy figure. At this time, there was a knock on the front door of the front yard. I walked over and opened the door. In front of me, It's a strange man I don't know.
This man was probably in his early forties, wearing elegant casual clothes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He had a capable and elegant temperament. When he saw me, he asked politely: "Excuse me, is Mr. Cheng Yicheng here?"
