Spending the Bright Moon Together

The next day, according to the rules, the new daughter-in-law was required to meet her in-laws and serve tea. Of course, the newly appointed Mrs. Song was not exempt from the custom. She was accompanied by Song Yuanqiao to meet Zhang Sanfeng and several juniors early in the morning.

The main hall was still surrounded by red wedding banners, Song Yuanqiao and his wife knelt on the ground, Mrs. Song took the tea offered by the Taoist, and served tea to Zhang Sanfeng who was seated, and then kowtowed a few times before getting up. Then, after greeting each other to Yu Lianzhou and the others one by one, they went back to the yard.

However, Mrs. Song, who was still young, didn't notice that when she greeted everyone, the little Taoist boy who handed tea was following her step by step and staring at her.

But Zhang Sanfeng, who sits at the top of the center of the hall, can see everything in the hall at a glance, but he can see it clearly. He felt a little unhappy at first, how could the Xindao sect accept such undisciplined disciples? What should I do if I do something disgraceful to the family?He still thought about asking who accepted the disciple and asked him to send him down the mountain, but after he took a few more glances, a flash of understanding flashed in his heart, and he continued to wait with the same expression on his face. The newlyweds serve the tea.

"Yuanqiao has become a family now, so he can be more independent in the future, but it would be even better if he could give birth to a son and a half daughter earlier, so that I can enjoy the joy of raising my grandchildren." Zhang Sanfeng waited for Song Yuanqiao to come back and sit in the hall After one side, he said with a smile.

"Master, don't make fun of your disciples, let alone Lian Zhou and the others. After a few years, we will definitely have a few more children here. I'm afraid you will be even more overjoyed by then." Song Yuanqiao A rare look of embarrassment made the other juniors couldn't help laughing.

"Brother, this is a sweet wedding, I wish we could all get married right now." Zhang Songxi said with a smile.

"I'm afraid it will be difficult. Sixth brother and I are only in our teens. I'm afraid we will have to wait for many years before we can get married. Brother and sister-in-law should work harder and don't count on us too much." Mo Sheng Gu's voice is hoarse and in the period of voice change, and he also smiles.

"You don't need to argue, even if you are not yet perfect in martial arts, you can find a family and make an appointment first. It is also very appropriate to wait for a few years to visit and marry. If you find a suitable girl's family, you can come to tell Master Ming Propose marriage for you." Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard happily and said indifferently.

"Master, it's better not to do this. We brothers and sisters don't know how many years we are away from mastering martial arts. Wouldn't it be a crime to delay the young lady's life?" Yu Lianzhou hurriedly advised.

At this end, the master and apprentices gathered together to chat and laugh, and the Taoist boy who had just served tea and watched the newcomers slipped quietly outside the hall, patted his chest and panted...

"Oh, it's so dangerous. Fortunately, master saw that I didn't say anything. That senior brother Mingyu is too bad, and he pushed the job on me that he didn't want to do." He babbled dissatisfiedly, completely forgetting I was arrested because I wanted to go to the front to see the newcomers.

"Mingyue, what are you muttering here alone?" Qingfeng, who was coming back from boxing practice, looked at the pouting person on the side of the road and asked curiously.

"Ah?! No, it's just that I went to Zixiao Palace just now to sneak a peek at the master's wife, but was dragged away by brother Mingyu to serve tea, which almost scared me to death. The master has been sitting there staring at me, it's so scary What?" Mingyue replied aggrievedly.

"Who told you to go to the main hall to take a peek? Everyone is on the mountain, so what's the difference? When Master comes back, I'm afraid you will say you don't understand the rules again." Qingfeng said.

"Oh! Oops, I forgot to go down the mountain to help Mrs. Wang, so I'll go first." Mingyue pretended to be surprised and hurriedly turned and ran away when she heard this.

Qingfeng couldn't react for a while, and when he thought of calling someone back, Mingyue had already run far away, so he could only sigh: "I usually don't practice so hard, but when I go out to play, I run pretty fast."

Qingfeng returned to the yard and saw that Yu Daiyan hadn't come back, so he went into his room to meditate. When he came out in the evening, Yu Daiyan was practicing sword in the open space of the yard. Then he turned his head and asked, "Have you seen the bright moon?"

"Yes, he said in the morning that he would go down the mountain to help Mrs. Wang, huh? Haven't you come back yet?" Qingfeng said, looked up at the sky, and asked doubtfully.

"It took me two or three hours to come back, and I didn't even see a shadow. You don't have to save dinner for him. This kid is getting worse and worse. He went out for a whole day and didn't know how to come back." Yu Daiyan thought in his heart. He became more and more disappointed with Mingyue, and even thought about letting him go down the mountain, but thinking that even if he went down the mountain, he would have nowhere to go, so he had to give up for now.

Seeing Yu Daiyan's face full of displeasure, Qingfeng had no choice but to nod quickly, saying sorry to the idiot who hadn't returned home late, and followed Yu Daiyan who was about to go to the cafeteria to eat and left the yard.

Mingyue carried in her bosom the silk thread she had painstakingly obtained from Aunt Wang at the foot of the mountain, and walked back to the mountain under the moonlight, but before the door could be entered, she was stopped by someone, and Mingyue stopped and turned her head to look at the sound. , then secretly said something bad.

"Son, come here, I have a few words to say to you." The person who stopped Mingyue was none other than Zhang Sanfeng who had already noticed that Mingyue was a daughter during the day.

"Yes, Grand Master." Mingyue walked up to Zhang Sanfeng with her head down, her hands were tightly clenched in her sleeves, the palms of which were gradually seeping with sweat.

"Your name is Mingyue now, right?" Zhang Sanfeng asked kindly.

"Yes." Mingyue said softly.

"How long have you been in Wudang Mountain?" Zhang Sanfeng asked again.

"It has been more than two years since I returned to Grand Master." Mingyue felt uneasy in her heart, wondering if something she had been worrying about had happened.

"I remember that it was Daiyan who went down the mountain to do some errands, and rescued you when he passed by Zhengzhou on the way back to the mountain. I didn't expect that it would take two years in the blink of an eye." Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be chatting with Mingyue. .

"Hmm..." Mingyue still lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhang Sanfeng.

"You don't have to be afraid. I just saw you this morning and suddenly thought of something. You have lived on the mountain for a long time. Do you remember some customs of the folk people at the foot of the mountain?" Seeing Mingyue's bewildered look, Zhang Sanfeng said indifferently laughed.

"I don't know what Grand Master wants to ask? Although Mingyue was still young when she went up the mountain, she would occasionally go down the mountain. Some things are often mentioned by the people living at the bottom of the mountain." Mingyue quickly replied.

"I heard that some families in the countryside will bring their daughters home and marry their own sons after they grow up. They call this a child bride. Have you ever heard of it?" Zhang Sanfeng asked wonderingly with a thoughtful look.

"Huh? There is such a thing. Because of the difficult life of the rural people, some families with boys worry that the boy will not be able to marry a wife when he grows up, so he will go to other places to find an older girl who is also from a poor family. Go home and raise them, not only can you help with housework, but when you grow up, you don’t even need to spend dowry gifts, you can just send the two of them together at a banquet, and enter the bridal chamber to form a family.” Mingyue didn’t understand how Zhang Sanfeng would Thinking about it, but thinking back to what she knew, and saying it.

"So that's how it is. It's a pity that those children are all grown-ups. If I had thought about it a few years ago, I could try it once and bring a few girls back to raise them. When they grow up, they will be married directly." Zhang Sanfeng nodded clearly.

"Grand Master was joking. It was a method he came up with because he was afraid of having no money to marry a wife. Our Wudang...doesn't seem to be so troublesome, right? Besides, Wudang Mountain doesn't even dare to keep the female guests who come to offer incense overnight. How can it be?" Adopt a baby girl?" Mingyue was taken aback when she heard the words, then smiled awkwardly.

"Originally there were no female guests on the mountain, and I was worried that something might happen, which would shake the mood of those young disciples practicing martial arts, but it seems that it is not possible... It is really troublesome." Zhang Sanfeng just shook his head and smiled.

"Ah?!" Mingyue scratched her head in confusion.

"I saw that your steps were still too heavy when you went up the mountain. I guess you haven't made any progress in martial arts? Since you don't want to learn, it's fine. There are many trivial things in the school, and you can always find what you want to do. You only come back in the middle of the night alone. It's not safe, go in and rest quickly, I think your master probably hasn't rested yet, and is still waiting for you to go back." Zhang Sanfeng then said nonchalantly.

"Oh! Grand Master, you should also go to bed earlier, I'll go in." Mingyue heard that Yu Daiyan was still up, so she hurriedly saluted Zhang Sanfeng and said goodbye, and walked quickly into the door.

Looking at the bright moon leaving in a hurry, Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard with a smile and said, "It's not bad to have a child bride, but I don't know who this child will be looking for?"

Mingyue returned to Yu Daiyan's yard, and sure enough, she saw that the lights in the main room were still on, so she bit the bullet and knocked on the door, and then heard the person inside the door yell "Come in." Mingyue bit down nervously. Gritting his teeth, he reached out and opened the door to enter.

"Master, you haven't rested yet?" Mingyue smiled guiltily.

"What time is it, and you still know how to come back? Didn't you ever think that I would be worried?" Yu Daiyan let go of his worries when he saw Mingyue came back safe and sound, and asked with a straight face.

"Because Aunt Wang has been unable to move around, so I came back late, Master, I'm sorry, I won't be able to do it next time." Mingyue hurriedly bowed her head and apologized.

"Next time? Do you want to have a next time? You are only allowed to go down the mountain once a month, and unless I have something to tell you, you are not allowed to go down the mountain without permission." Yu Daiyan issued a ban on Mingyue in displeasure.

"Ah! Master... Well, I know." Mingyue raised her head and wanted to protest a few words, but when she saw Yu Daiyan's face, she shrank back and replied in a muffled voice.

"I'm returning to the mountain so late, is dinner available?" Yu Daiyan couldn't help asking with concern after thinking about it.

"Well, I just came back after eating at Mrs. Wang's." Mingyue nodded guiltily.

"Then go to rest early, but you are not allowed to come back so late when you go down the mountain in the future. If you have something to do by yourself, don't you let me worry about you?" Yu Daiyan sighed softly, after all, he did not embarrass Mingyue anymore.

Mingyue bowed silently, quickly exited the door and turned back to the room, only thinking about going back to sleep early, and completely forgot about the occasional conversation between Zhang Sanfeng and him.
