The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

This is a blind date.

There is no souvenir when we part, and there is nothing to worry about.

If someone who didn't know saw this, they would think that Zhong Wen had snatched his body away.

It's just a blind date, and it has already become like this, making Xu stand aside, squinting and smiling, as if feeling that the marriage has become a normal one.

If this happened, Zhong Wen didn't even know if his grandmother would wake up laughing in her dream.

Perhaps, the old man just hopes that her grandson will get married quickly, or even more likely, she also wants to change her great-grandson.

After Xu Jie's family disappeared, Zhong Wen was dragged into the main room by his grandmother and began to question him one by one.

"Xiaowen, do you mean that you don't like the little lady of the concubine's family anymore? Then what's wrong with Xiaojie? She has read the book, knows how to be polite, and is so well-behaved. Don't tell me you didn't like it?" After hearing Zhong Wen's words, Mrs. Xu was really puzzled.

"Grandmother, as I said just now, although the little lady was born in a peasant family, she doesn't know anything about farming. We are all peasants. There is no peasant who doesn't know about farming. Let's forget about this marriage." Zhong Wen Feel helpless.

My grandmother praised Xu Jie so much, she just wanted to make the marriage work.

But Zhong Wen was absolutely unwilling, absolutely unwilling, he just wanted to mess up this marriage.

"Xiaowen, although Xiaojie doesn't understand farming, you are now a county marquis. It is normal for a county marquis to marry a young lady who is studying. Besides, wouldn't you invite some servants? "Ms. Xu persuaded again.

"Yeah, Xiaowen, I think that Xiaojie is pretty good, she is a rare person here." Zhong Wen's aunt, Wang E, also stood up to speak for Xu Jie.

"Xiaowen, just listen to your grandmother and the others, think about it carefully, I also think that little lady is pretty good." Xiu also helped.

……

At this time, Zhong Wen's head was full of paste.

No one here knows what's going on at home.

Even if he is a county lord, it is still the same as usual, he has not made any major changes, and he is still the same Zhong Wen.

Will a single blind date disrupt their original life?

Zhong Wen didn't dare to think, and didn't dare to think too much.

If he really married into the family, his parents and Xiao Hua must have been taking care of the little lady in the early stage.

Besides, Zhong Wen still disagrees with Xu Jie's parents in his heart.

A woman from a peasant family, even with only one child, does not want to run the family well, but only wants to train her daughter to be a scholar. Is this what this era should do?

In Zhong Wen's understanding, this is to prepare to use his own daughter as a springboard to find a good family, so that he will not have to worry about supporting the elderly in the future.

Of course, this does not rule out that Zhong Wen was wrong, but at this moment, Zhong Wen thought so.

As for whether it is true or not, you will always know.

"Grandmother, aunt, please sit down first. I will ask the master about this matter, and let the master make a conclusion." Zhong Wen couldn't bear these relatives of his own, so he had to carry his master out. It's good to temporarily solve his own predicament.

"That's right, it's a big deal, Xiao Wen, then after you go back, you have to tell Li Daoling about it quickly." After Xu's reaction came to his senses, he dinged Zhong Wen again.

"Grandmother, don't worry, I will definitely tell you. Even if I don't tell you, Auntie will ask." Zhong Wen nodded in response.

Zhong Wen didn't know what to do about this matter.

He didn't know what his master thought, but as long as his mother went to the temple to ask, his master would definitely agree to it.

But if they really got married this year, Zhong Wen would already want to die.

I haven't figured out the matter of my teacher's sect yet, as long as I get married, it will definitely be distracted.

Zhong Wen thought in his heart that this matter must be stopped, and he must quickly discuss the countermeasures with his master, otherwise, it will be too late to regret.

……

"Brother, there are many people coming outside." At this moment, Xiao Hua walked in and shouted to Zhong Wen.

"Have they all come? Then I'll go over." Zhong Wen hurriedly left.

Those people were the ones that Zhong Wen had confessed to the little boy in the morning, and the whole village had to come.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Xu was a little puzzled, got up and walked outside.

Zhong Mugen's family knew what Zhong Wen was going to do, and they went out of the house immediately.

"Everyone is here. It's the time of the Chinese New Year. As the host, I called everyone here today to make everyone suffer from the cold. Please don't blame me." Zhong Wenyi came outside the house and looked at all the people who came. People started yelling loudly.

"The county lord, it's fine, it won't freeze to death even if it freezes."

"Yes, County Marquis, it's all right."

"..."

None of the villagers who came here would say anything.

Even if they had any opinions, they didn't dare to express them. Zhong Wen was their boss.

"That's good. I'm here this time. First, I'm here to wish you a new year. I hope you will be better this year and your life will be more and more prosperous. Second, my boss has to give you some lucky money , expressing joy." Zhong Wen spoke again after listening to the villagers' responses.

"Xianhou, what is New Year's money?" At this moment, a child in the crowd suddenly asked Zhong Wen loudly.

"New Year's money?"

"Is it the Xi'er money those dignitaries are talking about?"

"It seems so."

New Year's money is not popular among the people, and few people know about it, and it is not popular, only in the homes of dignitaries and nobles.

When the villagers heard Zhong Wen say that they would give out New Year's money, they didn't understand it, but when they heard the word festive, they knew from the words that it should be a kind of happy money.

They know about Xiqian, but Xiqian is only available after a wedding event or after the birth of a son at home, and this Xiqian is called Xierqian.

"This New Year's money, just like Xi'er's money, is a sign of celebration. Isn't it the Chinese New Year? My boss, I have to give you some New Year's money no matter what. Everyone wait here for a while, and I'll go get the New Year's money out. After listening to the villagers' discussion, Zhong Wen explained again, then went into the house and picked out the burden.

The New Year's money, speaking, comes from Xi'erxi, and it has been there since the Han Dynasty.

But for ordinary people, they just followed suit. If a family gave birth to a son, they had to give Xi'er money, and this lucky money naturally came from Xi'er money.

"Come on, the adults of all families come to collect the lucky money." After Zhong Wen picked out the burden, he held the copper coins wrapped in paper in his hand, and began to distribute the lucky money and red envelopes.

"Thank you, County Marquis."

"Thank you, County Marquis."

"..."

The whole village, old and young, began to line up, from adults to children, one by one, with their eyes wide open, looking at Zhong Wen.

This is a copper coin, not a stone.

After beating the first one to get the red envelope, after pouring out fifty copper coins from Libai, a smile appeared on his face.

Although fifty Wen is not much, it is enough to go out and do work for five days.

As for Zhong Wen's family, in the past two days, they were basically busy with this matter.

Adults are fifty copper coins, women are thirty copper coins, and children are ten copper coins.

Originally, Zhong Wen meant that everyone should pay fifty Wen, but he was persuaded by his aunt.

This is the reason for the three differences now. Perhaps, Zhong Wen didn't understand the Taoism in it before, but now he understands it.

"Thank you County Marquis." Xiao Gouwa took a red envelope that Zhong Wen sent him, happily accepted it, and saluted respectfully again.

"Mother, I also have copper coins. Mother, please help me keep them. When I save enough money in the future, I will buy a headgear for mother." The little dog was very filial, took the red envelope, and handed it directly to his mother.

"Okay, okay, Gouwa is sensible and knows how to love mother." The little Gouwa's mother took the red envelope, with a smile on her face, and patted the little Gouwa's head.

And when the Xu family saw Zhong Wen's actions and felt Zhong Wen's intentions, they admired Zhong Wen's actions in their hearts.

Chapter 358 Take My Sister and Leave Home for the Capital

When Zhong Wen returned home, he didn't stay at home any longer, and returned directly to Longquan Temple.

When they came back from this journey, Zhong Mugen and his wife talked all the way, so that Zhong Wen's ears were almost disturbed to the point where he could no longer hear anything, it was all about the little lady.

In order to keep his ears quiet, Zhong Wen had to go back to the temple early.

"Jiu Shou, you're back!" Li Daoling had already seen Zhong Wen as soon as he returned to the temple.

"Master is well, the disciple just came back." Zhong Wen hurriedly saluted in response.

"Looking at your worry-free appearance, have you encountered any troubles?" Li Daoling looked at Zhong Wen's slightly sad face and asked.

"Back to Master, I went to my grandmother's place two days ago, and met a young lady. My aunt said that she was going to be hired by Najib in two months." Zhong Wen responded with a sigh in his heart.

"So this is the case? Marriage is a natural thing for you, and you don't need to worry about it too much. If you are in love, then get married. If you don't like it, I will talk to your mother in a few days." .” After Li Daoling heard about it, he knew that there was no rush.

Li Daoling originally didn't intend to let Zhong Wen get married so early, after all, he also had some selfish intentions.

Li Daoling will not feel at ease if the matter of Shimen is not resolved.

Although the disciple has reached the age of matchmaking, it is still a bit early for Li Daoling, and he also knows that Zhong Wen's mind is really not focused on that aspect.

Besides, the matter of the teacher's sect is still the most important matter of the Taiyi sect. If I really get married as a disciple, I don't know how many years it will take to solve it in the future.

"Thank you, master." After hearing this, Zhong Wen felt a little relieved.

As long as my master speaks up, then this marriage will definitely not happen again, of course, this matter must be paid close attention to.

After all, my mother had said on the way back that it would be best to settle this matter quickly within these two months.

"Jiu Shou, if it really doesn't work, just take a concubine, the wife will talk about it later." Suddenly, Li Daoling reminded.

Marrying a wife and taking concubines is nothing to Li Daoling.

Besides, according to Zhong Wen's current status, it must be allowed, and it can also dispel some thoughts of Zhong Wen's parents, and even ease this relationship.

"Master, you..." Zhong Wen was speechless after hearing this.

Zhong Wen never thought about taking a concubine, even the matter of marrying a wife, Zhong Wen didn't think about it carefully.

If it wasn't for this blind date trip, Zhong Wen might not have thought of it. He has too many things to do, so he wouldn't have any free time to think about wives and concubines.

"Jiu Shou, leave this matter to the teacher, and you don't need to think about it." Li Daoling patted Zhong Wen, then turned and left, heading for the main hall.

Zhong Wen had no choice but to put this matter aside for the time being.

A few days later, when Zhong Wen returned home, Zhong Mugen and his wife looked at him in a strange way, which made Zhong Wen baffled.

"Brother, Li Daochang came over yesterday and talked to my parents for a long time, saying that I want you to take a concubine." Xiaohua pulled Zhong Wen in a corner and whispered, as if afraid of being heard by her parents Like.

After listening to Xiao Hua's words, Zhong Wen understood in his heart.

It turns out that my master came here yesterday, and now my father and mother look at me strangely.

"I see, by the way, what have you been up to lately? You need to read more, you know? Don't keep dancing your sword." Zhong Wen responded after hearing this, and preached to Xiao Hua again.

"Brother, I've read the book several times. I don't know many words, and I don't understand the meaning of the book. You won't teach me, and Aunt Guanli won't let me go. If you don't dance swords, I'll do it." What?" Xiao Hua retorted when she heard Zhong Wen talking about her.

"Well, in a few days, I will go to Lizhou to help you find a private school, and then I will send you there to study." After hearing this, Zhong Wen thought about it, and prepared to send Xiao Hua to study.

"Really?" After Xiaohua heard this, some excitement began to bloom in her heart.

In Longquan Village, she was tired of staying and always wanted to go out for a stroll, but hearing Zhong Wen say that she would be sent to Lizhou to study, that would be the best.

Even if she likes martial arts but not literature, this is still a way to leave Longquan Village. Besides, she also knows that reading more books will definitely be beneficial to her.

"Xiaowen, Xiaohua already knows a lot of characters. Are you really going to send her to Lizhou to study? After two years, you can't talk about marrying her husband's family." At this time, Zhong Mugen heard Zhongwen and Xiaohua's conversation Dialogue, inserted into the mouth and said.

"Yes, Xiaowen, Xiaohua is really going to Lizhou, but there is no one at home." Xiu also interjected.

"Father and mother, Xiao Hua must go to study. She can learn to read and write. Do you really want Xiao Hua to marry a farmer? Work in the fields every day like before? As a brother, I must find Xiao Hua There is a way out." Zhong Wen once again brought up this topic, which aroused family conflicts again.

"Xiaowen, you..."

"Xiaowen,..."

Afterwards, this family conflict continued to expand, causing Zhong Mugen and his wife to criticize Zhong Wen.

But Zhong Wen tried his best to defend his little sister.

But in the end, he still couldn't make his father and mother change their minds.

……

"Master, I went home just now. I want to ask Master to go home and talk about it. I want to send Xiaohua to study in Lizhou, but my parents just don't want to." Zhong returned to the temple. Wen, came to seek help from his master again.

"Well, daughters are not as good as men, and this cannot be changed. However, I see that your little sister is not bad. It is the best to read more books and read some characters. All right, I will go to you later. Tell your family well." Seeing that his disciple came back to ask him for help, Li Daoling nodded his head in response.
