Chapter 351 Taoist Zhang is proposing marriage?
Looking at the pair of little sisters, Jia Cong was extremely happy.
After quietly hooking their fingers, Jia Cong said, "It's okay. There are many of us here. I will go to the front to support them in a while, so as to prevent anyone from rushing in and causing trouble."
"Since you are in a good mood, there is no need to restrain yourself! It is a rare opportunity to get out, so just enjoy yourself."
"I feel a little tired today, so let's play here. After we accompany our ancestors to eat and drink in the evening, we will order some plays to watch."
"Tomorrow I'll take you to the back mountain! There's a peach forest over there, and it's in full bloom now. Let's just bring our food and toys and go to the back mountain to enjoy the flowers, drink wine, and fly kites!"
"I have already had houses built near the peach forest, as well as a hot spring pool. After playing all day, we can rest there. When we return the day after tomorrow, we will have the old Taoist perform some rituals, and then we can go back."
Hearing Jia Cong's arrangements, the sisters were naturally very happy.
"You guys can play here first. I'll have someone bring some food over."
Afterwards, Jia Cong went to the front yard, assigned all the old women and maids, talked with Jia Zheng for a while, and then went towards his own room.
Just when I was halfway there, I saw the Taoist priest coming towards me.
"Is Champion Marquis satisfied with the arrangement for the young audience?" Taoist Zhang asked with a smile, looking at Jia Cong's face.
Jia Cong laughed loudly, "You old Taoist priest have become an immortal, and we are family, why are you so polite? Aren't you afraid that I will pull your beard?"
The old Taoist also laughed loudly, walked forward, took Jia Cong's hand, looked him up and down, and said, "It's been a long time since we last met, and you have become even richer and more powerful."
"Really? I'll keep this in mind. If I can't make it happen in the future, I will definitely tear down your Taoist temple!"
The old man and the young man enjoyed themselves for a while. Taoist Zhang had to go and arrange a ritual, so Jia Cong let him go.
After Jia Cong entered his courtyard, the old Taoist shook his head and said to himself in confusion, "Before, it was still a hidden dragon in the abyss, but now the signs have already appeared. I, an old Taoist, may be dazzled! After all, when I saw the Queen and the Emperor a , there was nothing unusual, and there was no evil star that collided with Ziwei..."
I went back to the courtyard to eat something and rest for a while. In the afternoon, I chatted with everyone in several places.
When the dinner came, everyone gathered around the old lady. After finishing the meal, the old Taoist priest came over with a lottery box in his hand.
"Amitabha, is the old ancestor always in good health? May all the grandmas and ladies be blessed? I haven't been to your house to greet you for a long time, but the old lady looks better and better."
The old lady also laughed and said, "Old Immortal, how are you doing?"
"Thanks to the old lady, I am in good health, but I am always worried about my brothers and sisters in the mansion."
Upon hearing this, the old lady hurriedly called Baoyu over. Baoyu stepped forward and saluted, "Hello, Grandpa Zhang."
Taoist Zhang supported Baoyu and then smiled at Grandmother Jia, "My brother has grown up. His figure, speech and behavior are just like those of the Duke of Guo who were still alive."
As he spoke, tears began to fall!
This old Taoist priest became a monk as Daishan's substitute when he was young, so he naturally had a different attitude towards Daishan's grandson Baoyu. Jia Cong on the side just watched with a smile and did not feel that he was being favored.
When she heard Daishan mentioned, the old lady also shed tears, "Why do I, an old woman, always love this Yu'er? I have raised many children and grandchildren, but he is the only one who looks most like his grandfather in temperament and appearance."
The old Taoist priest turned to Jia Zheng and said, "The old lady complained to me before that my brother doesn't like studying very much. In my opinion, with my brother's intelligence, how can he not have a bright future?"
Jia Zheng smiled ashamedly when he heard this. He naturally hoped that his son would have a good future, but even he did not believe what the old immortal said...
"Xiaodao, your memory is not good. How old is your brother this year?"
Jia Zheng hurriedly said, "Replying to the old immortal, this wicked boy has also wasted seventeen years in vain this year!"
"Seventeen, that's not too young !" said the old Taoist, stroking his short beard.
"The other day I met a young lady in a family. She is sixteen years old this year, and she is also good-looking. What's more, her family is also noble. I think it's time for my brother to find a wife. If we consider her appearance, intelligence, and family background, she is a good match for my brother. But I don't know what the old lady thinks."
"I don't dare to act rashly, so I want to wait for the old lady's instructions before making any plans!"
Most people at the scene were enjoying the performance, but Daiyu's face changed drastically. She looked at the old lady who was listening with a smile on her face, and her head was dizzy. With her intelligence, how could she not see the purpose of this play? Baochai, who was standing by, also frowned slightly and gently squeezed Daiyu's hand.
The old lady was about to speak when Jia Cong, who was watching the fun, suddenly burst into laughter.
"You old Taoist, how come you are a matchmaker after practicing immortality? And, you, with your big nose, do you think that I am easy to bully, or do you think that I am not worthy of the title of the grandson of Xianrong State?"
"It is a good thing to propose marriage to Second Brother Bao, but you cannot favor one over the other. First, tell me which family the young lady is from. I will check it out for Second Brother Bao first. Also, one is not enough. Since you have proposed to Second Brother Bao, I cannot leave you out. Please mention two more."
"I heard that the Qingxu Temple has gone through hundreds of years of wind and rain. It is not easy for it to stand till now! However, if you, this big-nosed man, don't give me a good explanation today, I will see whether the gods and Buddhas of your ruined temple can protect the Taoist temple that I want to demolish."
As he spoke, Jia Cong walked directly in front of the old Taoist priest. Although he was still smiling, his narrowed eyes made the old Taoist priest startled.
"You little monkey, how can you play such a joke on the old immortal?" Grandmother Jia's expression changed and she spoke quickly.
Jia Cong smiled and stretched out his hand to stroke the old Taoist's white beard, "Niubizi, do you think I am joking? Or, are you, an old immortal, worthy of my joke?"
Grandmother Jia tightly grasped the armrest of the chair, her expression changing constantly, and finally she sighed, "Thank you for the trouble, old immortal. Last time, a monk said that this child is not destined to marry early, and it's better to wait until she is a few years older. Please help me find out first. It doesn't matter if the family background is good or not. Anyway, our family is not short of a few taels of silver. As long as the appearance and personality are good, it will be fine."
Jia Cong let go of the old Taoist's beard, then said with a smile, "Look, you idiot, are you just worrying about something else? The old monk has already said that it's not advisable to get married too early, but you're still busy making arrangements here."
"I will find out where the old monk has gone and call him over to perform a ritual with you, the old Taoist priest, to see who is better."
