Become a disciple of Taoist Priest Four Eyes

…

The old man who claimed to be from the Hu family smiled and nodded.

"What this hero said is right. Being entertained with good wine and meat in my Hu family, and having everyone go to the room to rest when you are drunk is much better than being in the cold wind and rain in this shabby palace."

"Let's go and have a wedding drink!"

"I've had enough of this miserable palace."

Everyone shouted and got up, pushing each other and leaving the hall.

Xu Junming mingled with the crowd, and followed the flow of people and walked towards the back hall under the leadership of the old man.

He wanted to see what tricks these monsters were playing.

The stone slabs were a little slippery after the rain, and the weeds growing out of the cracks in the stones were wet by the rain, making the group's robes somewhat messy.

Everyone walked up the steps, one foot deep and one foot shallow, under the dim light of a few lanterns. After passing around a century-old pine with six or seven people hugging each other and a cloud-like crown, the vision suddenly opened up.

A brightly lit deep mansion appeared in front of you.

Passing through the hundreds of square meters of bluestone platform, you are faced with a vermilion-colored gate with an animal face holding a ring.

Set off by the stone lions on both sides, the courtyard gate supported by two pillars looks particularly majestic.

A row of red lanterns with happy characters on them were hung outside the courtyard gate. Under the red candlelight, they looked joyful.

Four boys in black shorts stood at the door.

Seeing a group of people coming, they hurriedly greeted them.

"Butler Hu."

"These people are all distinguished guests invited by me. You open the middle door to welcome them."

There was a hint of surprise on the boy's face, and he subconsciously looked towards the crowd behind him.

"What are you looking at? Go quickly!"

"Yes, yes, little one, go right here."

The boy quickly ran inside and opened the middle door.

"Everyone, please come in!"

The bustling crowd filed in. Xu Junming walked among the crowd, glanced at the old man in front of him, and showed an intriguing smile.

Entering the gate and bypassing the screen wall, you will find a very spacious courtyard paved with bluestone.

Directly opposite, there is a hall with cornices and brackets, black tiles and red walls, and huge pillars supporting the top, which is three feet high.

On both sides are two smaller side halls.

The entire courtyard, including the three main halls, was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, making it very lively.

Men, women and children all dressed in costumes were sitting around twenty tables placed in the center of the courtyard, chatting and laughing.

Seeing them coming in, an old man wearing a Yuanwai hat and a gorgeous gown, holding a wooden staff, walked over accompanied by a heroic young man.

"Everyone, this is the owner of our Hujiazhuang."

"Sir, these are the guests staying at Qinglian Temple in front of us. According to your instructions, I have invited them back."

"Thank you for your hard work, housekeeper!"

After nodding, the old village owner quickly glanced at everyone. Although he acted very cryptically, Xu Junming still keenly felt the obvious pause when he saw himself.

"Dear guests, I am Hu Bugui, the owner of the Hu Family Village. Today happens to be the day when I am marrying my daughter, and it is a good time for you all to meet up, so why don't you stay and have a glass of water and wine, and share in the happiness of my Hu family?"

"Old owner, you're very polite. It's an honor for us to be invited here by you."

"As long as the old owner doesn't think I'm vulgar."

"Old owner, you're welcome."

A series of cheers sounded, and they, confused by the spell, had lost their vigilance.

"Haha, in that case, please take a seat, everyone!"

One by one, beautiful little maids wearing long skirts came over and led everyone to sit down at the empty table next to them.

Xu Junming originally wanted to follow the crowd and find a corner to sit down and see what the trouble was with this group of monsters.

As soon as she moved her feet, she was stopped by a little maid in a red dress.

"Taoist Master Jin An, the owner of my village has always respected Taoism and specially reserved a seat for the Taoist Master."

"oh?"

Xu Junming turned to look at the old village owner.

After Hu Bugui smiled and nodded, he did not come over, but turned to greet the others.

Looking at his back, Xu Junming smiled faintly.

"interesting."

"Taoist Priest, please come with me."

"Lead the way."

Under the leadership of the maid, we actually came to the central table.

"Master Taoist, please sit down!"

"You really want me to sit here?"

"This is what the old owner ordered."

Xu Junming nodded and sat down without asking any more questions.

Apart from him, there was also a tall and thin old man on the entire table. This man had high cheekbones and looked a bit stern.

At this moment, his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was in a daze.

Next to him sat an old lady with frosty hair, a kind face, and a harmless appearance.

Noticing his gaze, she nodded with a smile but said nothing.

However, Xu Junming keenly felt a hint of deep worry from the depths of her eyes.

After thinking for a moment, he turned and looked at the table.

The food was rich and there were many spiritual fruits.

Moreover, the food on his table was obviously better than the other tables.

The most important thing is that these meals are not magical illusions, but real meals that people can eat.

After greeting the guests, Hu Bugui returned to the main table in the middle.

Bowed to Xu Junming.

"Taoist Priest, there are many guests today. I am old and incompetent, and many of them are negligent. I hope you will bear with me."

"Master Hu, you're welcome!"

"Taoist Master, please sit down."

At this time, the old housekeeper who had left before hurried in.

"Master, my uncle's bike frame will be here soon."

Hu Bugui stood up quickly.

"Miss, are you ready?"

"The maid next to the lady just came to report. She is ready."

"That's good."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard gongs and drums beating outside, and the extremely festive suona sounded.

"Uncle is here."

Accompanied by the voice of joy, surrounded by several servants, a handsome man dressed in red and colorful, full of joy, stepped in.

Surrounded by everyone, he came closer and bowed deeply to Hu Bugui.

"My son-in-law pays homage to my father-in-law."

Hu Bugui nodded with a smile and said, "Sanniang is waiting for you in the backyard. Go quickly."

The man nodded and was about to turn around.

"Wait!"

A sharp shout attracted everyone's attention. The man also stopped subconsciously.

Sitting in front of Xu Junming's left side, the tall and thin man who had previously closed his eyes slowly stood up.

The corners of his mouth curled up, with a faint smile on his face.

"Brother, the auspicious time is not here, so why worry? Besides, according to folk customs, if you come to get married, the groom will inevitably have to test it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be against the rules and breaking the rules?!"

Hu Bugui's expression changed slightly.

"Third brother, my Hu family is special and we don't have to stick to common etiquette. As for the auspicious time, it only lasts for a stick of incense. It will be almost done when Qiuguan goes to the backyard to pick up Sanniang."

"Brother, I'm afraid it's inappropriate to do this!"

Hu Bugui took a deep breath, and his eyes suddenly became sharp.

"What do you think, third brother?"
