Everyone returned to the hall and sat down in order.
This time, Cao Zhe took the main seat without hesitation.
Because he needs to mediate the conflict between Dongting Longjun and Bingling Gong.
This matter seems to be a marriage dispute between children, but in fact there is a hidden secret.
Cao Zhe said before that he dreamed of meeting Duke Zhou, which was indeed an excuse at first.
But later, he pretended to be a real person and went to play chess with Duke Zhou.
While playing chess with Duke Zhou, the matter of the son-in-law competition between Long Jun and Bingling Gong came up.
Duke Zhou built a bridge and led Cao Zhe into Zhang Sheng's dream.
He also told Cao Zhe some secret gossip that had been circulating among Shinto people recently, and Cao Zhe roughly understood the causes and consequences of this incident.
It was also because of this that I made the decision to intervene in this matter.
First of all, is what Zhang Sheng showed true?
It is true, but it can also be said to be false.
When Cao Zhe entered his dream, he saw feasting, extravagant pleasures, and overwhelming power. He even had the chance to become an immortal, become a Taoist, and hold great power in heaven. These were all fleeting thoughts.
Although it cannot be determined with distracting thoughts, because the human heart is inherently impetuous.
Even the most kind people will inevitably have evil thoughts, so they do everything regardless of their heart.
However, this shows that Zhang Sheng is originally a person burdened by the desires of the world, and he will never be so 'simple' as he appears.
"Perhaps Zhang Sheng was such a person in the past, but now Zhang Sheng is just a competitor who understands some of the simple operating logic of this world."
"The first is status. In the world of Liaozhai, the status of a scholar has 'privilege'. Masters from outside the world will pay special attention to it, and gods and immortals will treat them with more courtesy. Even monsters and monsters who know some etiquette will be treated with more courtesy. I will also treat the scholars with more warmth and hospitality, instead of just boiling them and eating them like I do to ordinary people, or draining the yang energy and abandoning their bodies in the wilderness."
"Of course, the status privilege of being a scholar is universal, and it is difficult to show a unique effect."
"So Zhang Sheng continued the previous master's style of dealing with things, and even went beyond it. The purpose was to create a character. A well-known good name is not only a talisman but also a step forward for a scholar who seems to have nothing. .”
"Of course, to be able to maintain such a kind and selfless person for five or six years, this person is not only a ruthless person, but also a capable person. For ordinary people, even if he is allowed to persist for ten days and a half, it will cost his life. Come on!" Cao Zhe did not despise Zhang Sheng in the slightest because he saw his true temperament clearly.
If he was really just a pure and kind person, he would not be able to get into Cao Zhe's eyes.
Cao Zhe thought for a while and then said: "Since the daughters of the two families have fallen in love with Zhang Sheng, they might as well take their daughters with them, pretend to be transformed, go to the side of Zhang Sheng, and have a close encounter. . Let’s see how this student chooses. What do you two think?”
Lord Bingling seemed to have something to say, but after meeting Cao Zhe's warning gaze, he suppressed his words.
When Long Jun heard this, he was overjoyed.
He immediately said: "That's good! That's good!"
Then he said proudly: "My daughter and Zhang Sheng are already familiar with each other. Although their identities have not been revealed, they are already married after all. This way, we will definitely continue this fate."
Lord Binling snorted coldly: "Your daughter is just a small jade girl. How can she compare to my daughter? She is beautiful and fragrant. If Zhang Sheng is not blind, he will know how to choose."
The rhetoric suddenly became intense.
The two old fathers began to show off their daughters in various ways and make all kinds of unscrupulous comparisons.
Cao Zhe waited for them to dry up and during the intermission, he continued: "However, how to pretend and how to get close, Pindao gives you two choices."
"This is also the last time I try this student's character."
The two gods, who were about to continue their quarrel, stopped at the same time.
"First, it is a wealthy family's family, and second, it is a poor and noble family. You can choose one each, or both."
"With a period of one month, whichever party exchanges the marriage certificate first will be considered as the marriage. The other party is not allowed to intervene in any form, and must also give a generous gift. What do you two think?"
Duke Bingling and Lord Long nodded at the same time without any objection.
In Duke Binling's view, his daughter came later after all. She used to dominate others with her power, but now that Cao Zhe has intervened and has a chance to compete, Cao Zhe is already 'fair and just'.
However, Long Jun and Cao Zhe have no actual friendship. Cao Zhe is willing to take care of it. He is already happy, so how can he dare to be picky?
I was also worried that Cao Zhe would walk away, so I just ignored him.
Long Jun took the lead and said: "Then I choose a noble family. A good son-in-law has a noble character and is not a person who is greedy for money."
Gong Bingling originally planned to choose Qinggui as well.
But after thinking about it carefully, Cao Zhe hesitated as he would not take the target without any reason.
After thinking again and again, he said: "Although it is a wealthy businessman's home, it does not necessarily have to be rich and unkind. There are also families who are wealthy and good. I will choose the wealthy businessman's home!"
Cao Zhe clapped his hands and said: "Okay! You two are both generous and heroic people. Since you have made your promise today, you must not go back on it. Everyone present is a witness."
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Since Cao Zhe is taking the lead in doing this notarization, the little gods and immortals from all sides can stick to it without fear of offending anyone.
"Now that the decision has been made, let's go ahead and make arrangements!"
"Pindao will stay soon," Cao Zhe said.
Long Jun seems to have the intention to stay.
But Lord Binling took the initiative and said, "Since Taoist Master drank the wine from Longjun's house, why don't you also come to my house as a guest?"
"The dust hasn't settled yet. I'm also worried that some long-term insects have lost people and lost battles. Afterwards, they cry everywhere and complain that a certain family is bullying others!"
Lord Long was ridiculed like this, but he was clearly in awe of the authority of Emperor Dongyue behind Duke Bingling. At this time, he could not be cowed, and immediately said: "Although my Dongting is small, it is also the inheritance of the ancient righteous gods. How can it be like this?" The actions of a villain? It's not like that. Some people are sheltered and gain power, and then they forget about it."
This time, Cao Zhe let them quarrel.
If the verbal fight is fierce and someone else is trying to suppress the situation, it is usually impossible to start a fight.
It's also good to let them have some fun and vent their emotions.
After the heat was almost gone, Cao Zhe said again: "I still have something to do. I want to go back to Laoshan and come back in a month to make a final decision on this matter. How about that?"
Long Jun and Bingling Gong saw that Cao Zhe had said this, so they didn't want to be entangled.
He could only let Cao Zhe leave with Feng Sheng, the little fox Hongyu and the field mouse demon.
After leaving the Dongting Dragon Palace, the boat surfaced.
Feng Sheng said angrily: "Isn't he just a pretty boy? How can he be worth grabbing by two families?"
Hongyu retorted: "Didn't you have a good marriage back then? Didn't you do it yourself?"
Feng Sheng blushed and said, "Can that be the same? Long Jun and Bingling Gong are from the immortal family, she...she is just a fox!"
Hongyu sneered and said: "I have heard that she has become an immortal now. She is a female immortal in the heavenly palace. She has long since faded away from her mortal body."
"You can regret it yourself!"
Cao Zhe shook his head and said with a smile: "This may not necessarily be the case, it is just a good thing."
"There must be a reason for the blessings coming from heaven. And the reason behind this, whether it can be withstood and whether it can be tolerated, is unknown!"
