Tao Zang Xuan Zhi

King Qi dragged Li Guan to follow the boy, but he gave Li Guan some stern words outside the main hall door before they entered the main hall together.

Many people had gathered in front of the hall to watch the fun, but no one was paying attention to the stage.

Mrs. Li is sitting on the grand master's chair in front of the Rizhao Mountains and Rivers map in the middle. Standing in front of her are two pairs of golden boys and girls, holding gold plates and jade bundles in their hands. The jade-wrapped thing in the boy's hand is longevity peach cakes, which are given to the guests. The gold plate in the girl's hand holds koi candy, which is given to the children. There were also many people surrounding the hall, all of them old people from the Zhong family.

As soon as King Qi entered the main hall, the master of ceremonies recited loudly:"In the palace of King Qi of Lu, there is a set of South China Sea red coral figures carved with beaded screens, a pair of Longshan ink jade Chongzhi Ruyi, a gold statue of the Queen Mother of the West, and a set of gold and jade cloud incense stands.."

Some people in the hall exclaimed and some praised. As expected of a king, ordinary wealthy people would not be able to see such a large sum of money even if they were willing to pay betrothal gifts to welcome their brides.

King Qi proudly walked forward with Li Guan, bowed his hands with a smile and said,"I wish my sister a long life."

This"sister" caused a lot of discussion in the hall.

King Qi was secretly proud. This was naturally planned by him. Not only did it give Lao Xianmen and Mrs. Li a lot of face, but it also made everyone aware of the close relationship between Prince Qi’s Mansion and Lao Xianmen, which made those opponents who secretly have the same plan retreat before they know it, and also made it difficult for Lao Xianmen to evade him. A strong marriage proposal for a while.

The old lady stood up to greet him, smiled and extended her hand to make a gesture of support, and said hello repeatedly. plumHe also followed King Qi and bowed obediently:"I wish my grandma may be as blessed as the East Sea and live longer than the Southern Mountains." But this expression always makes me feel a little bitter, and my voice is also a little weak.

The old lady didn't seem to care at all. She waved with a smile and asked the golden girl beside her to hand over birthday peach buns and koi candies. She just said with loving concern:"My grandnephew is not feeling well. Why is he listless?"

This"grandnephew" sound"The king of Qi was in a good mood and even forgot about Li Guan's inappropriate behavior just now. He immediately patted Li Guan on the shoulder and smiled at the old lady:"What's the matter? This kid is in good health. He played too crazy with his sister's eldest grandson Jianan during the day, so he is a little tired. He is such a big man, and he makes my sister laugh at him for not being trivial or serious."

The old lady smiled and said:"My great-nephew is just a child, why should the King of Qi be so harsh?"

The King of Qi laughed and pressed the button Li Guan thanked the old lady.

Originally, at this time, King Qi should have left the stage with the servant and returned to his original seat, and then the master of ceremonies would have read out the congratulations to the next guest. But he, King Qi, was determined to dominate today. He had no intention of letting the next one come up in the first place.

So, King Qi didn't even look at the boy waiting beside him. Instead, he looked around, and finally his eyes fell on the two pairs of golden boys and girls. In previous years, there were also golden boys and girls at the old lady's birthday banquet, but there was only one pair, and they both held birthday peach buns. Moreover, King Qi didn’t even know these two golden boys and girls. For this kind of thing, there is usually a certain number of candidates, and it must be the most favored and valued junior in the family. In previous years, Zhong Jianan held the position of boy boy. But these two boys are strangers; and these two girls are twins, they cannot be the unique and unique prodigy girls in the rumors.

"Why don't we see the great nephew of the good man and the great niece that the sister brought back recently?

The old lady smiled and replied:"Jianan was messing around at the temple fair in the afternoon and was thinking about his mistakes." As for Wan Lan, she has always been a member of the Zhong family, so how can she bring her back to tell her?"

The King of Qi choked. He didn't expect that he would step on two thunderbolts in a row. However, he was also an old man in the world, and he knew very well that the most humble people are invincible. He smiled shamelessly:"In that case, it's still me, my grandson. I have harmed my good nephew and grandson. On this special day, I hope my sister will be kind and don't criticize my grandnephew too harshly."Speaking of Wan Lan, I really want to meet her." No matter what, she is the person who will become my granddaughter-in-law in the future."

The King of Qi said this very forcefully, preemptively defining the person as his future grandson-in-law. The King of Qi was sure that the old lady would not directly offend his majestic prince. But if this matter was not rejected immediately and decisively, it would have changed. Mrs. Cheng agreed that sooner or later, the child prodigy would be from Prince Qi's palace.

"oh? Why haven't I heard about this marriage?"The old lady's eyes narrowed, her smile did not diminish, but her eyes were filled with cold light.

King Qi did not panic at all. This was not a rejection."My sister didn't know before, but now she knows. From now on, we are getting closer and closer, why not?"

The old lady didn't answer, but just looked to the side room. At this time, two women in red and purple clothes, to be precise, a woman and a half-year-old girl, walked out of the side room carrying tea bowls. Come. The children of the Zhong family all around made way for them, and the old lady sat back down on her seat with the help of the Miao family.

The woman with her hair in a high bun had a bright appearance, and her dress was gorgeous but capable. She walked up to the old lady with a tea bowl in her hand. He turned to his side, bowed slightly, and handed the teacup to the girl behind him. The girl gently placed the teacup on the coffee table next to the old lady, then gently pushed it to the old lady, bowed obediently, and then retreated behind the woman.

"Grandma, let’s take a sip of herbal tea first."The woman looked bright and unparalleled, but her voice was surprisingly bright and loud. She didn't look like the eldest lady of aristocratic family at all, but rather a bit of a charlatan. The girl behind the woman should be the woman's daughter. Her appearance inherited her mother's beauty, but she was not as arrogant as her mother. Bright and beautiful, a little more soft and well-behaved, she makes people feel like she is still young.

The old lady picked up the tea bowl and drank the medicinal soup in the tea bowl. Miao who was waiting beside her handed her a handkerchief. The old lady Jun wiped his hands for a moment, waved to the girl, and said with a kind smile:"Wanlan, you came just in time, I just wanted to find you."

The girl in red and purple attire obediently walked from behind her mother to the old lady. The old lady held Wan Lan in her arms, faced King Qi, and said softly:"Wan Lan, King Qi said he would welcome you as his Granddaughter-in-law, are you willing?"

King Qi was shocked to realize that this was his goal today, but before he could react, someone spoke up before him. The person who spoke out was Li Guan. The way he spoke out was by screaming.

"why you! ?

The old lady raised her eyebrows and said,"Why, has your grandnephew seen Wan Lan?""

The King of Qi was also surprised. Why did he meet the person he had planned to meet for a long time, but his stupid boy met him. How could he find no place after wearing iron shoes, but that boy took the opportunity as nothing?

Li Guan pointed at Zhong Wanling. Then he shouted to King Qi:"It's this witch who insulted me at noon!

King Qi and the old lady both frowned.

"Wanlan, is this happening?"The old lady asked gently.

Zhong Wanling replied obediently:"The young prince is joking. The young prince is so tall that Wan Lan can't bully him."

In the eyes of everyone, this statement is quite credible, because the girl is not as high as the boy's waist. Compared with the boy, the girl is really just a doll.

Li Guan shouted in panic:"You are lying! You know magic!"

The old lady frowned and glanced at Li Guan, then looked at King Qi, doubts evident in his expression.

King Qi was angry and annoyed, and said angrily:"You bastard, what nonsense are you talking about in front of the old lady! ?"

Li Guan was shocked, angry, angry and sad. He almost cried. He kept yelling:"Grandpa! is her! Zhong Jianan and the others were all there at that time! They can all testify! That's her! she! She also injured my senior brother!"

The brows of King Qi and the old lady frowned deeper and deeper, and the people watching around them also began to talk about it.

"Late orchid?"The old lady looked at Zhong Wanling in her arms with some doubts.

Zhong Wanling stepped aside and pulled out of the old lady's armband, bowed to the old lady and Prince Qi and saluted respectively. He walked up to Li Guan and said,"The young prince said. You are making wild claims to tarnish my reputation. Do you have any evidence? Before Li

Guan could speak, Zhong Wanling said calmly and gracefully:"I did meet the young prince by chance at noon, but it was only a one-time encounter, and we didn't even have a conversation. How could he be insulted?""

"you……"

"You said I injured you and your senior brother, are you injured? With all due respect, young prince, you really don’t seem to be injured."Zhong Wanling shook his head and continued.

"I……"

"I did not touch the young prince, as everyone present at the time must be able to testify."Zhong Wanling suddenly took a big step, stood beside Li Guan, and whispered at a volume that only the two of them could hear,"If you want others to know that you peed your pants in public, just keep making trouble."Immediately he returned to his original position, turned around, folded his hands on his chest, made a long bow, and said with a clear voice:"Grandma, Wan Lan has been slandered for no reason. I beg Grandma to let the beautiful male cousin come to court to prove Wan Lan. Lan is innocent."

Li Guan stood frozen on the spot and couldn't say a word.

King Qi seemed that this matter couldn't be simpler. It was just that his unfilial grandson was doing whatever he wanted to escape from his marriage. He was so angry that he almost didn't have one Buddha or two Buddhas born. Shengtian pointed at Li Guan's nose and said"you" for a long time. Finally, he waved his hand bitterly, turned around and clasped his fists at the old lady:"The old lady was surprised and blamed Xiao Wang for being too doting on his son and neglecting to discipline him. Let him do such ridiculous things today! Xiao Wang will be strictly disciplined after he returns."With that said, King Qi stood up and was about to pick up Li Guan's ears.

But the old lady stopped him and said unhurriedly:"Then, what King Qi means is that he still wants to make this agreement with our Zhong family. Is it a marriage?"

The look King Qi looked at the old lady became complicated. At this point, the Prince of Qi's palace was disgraced and turned into a laughing stock. I am afraid that everyone knows that the strong declaration just now has turned into bubbles. This move of the old lady The question was clearly made knowingly, and it could be regarded as an attempt to completely cut off his thoughts.

It couldn't be that simple.

King Qi narrowed his eyes and was about to lose face, and tried his old trick again. Howl.

Li Guan, who was filled with grief and anger, was already overwhelmed, but when he saw that his grandfather actually wanted to force the marriage, he immediately lost all hope. He held his head like crazy, shook his head desperately, and cried:"I will die. I won’t marry you! You monster! Ugly!" Then he ran out like this.

Everyone was dumbfounded. Even King Qi was stunned for a few seconds.

In the end, King Qi could only clasp his fists and said hastily:"Please pretend that the engagement never happened. Change it. Come to the door to apologize."Then he hurriedly chased Li Guan, who was running away in tears.

This series of changes made everyone in the hall dumbfounded. After two of the victims ran away, things would not be easy.

After a while, the discussion in the hall became louder, and the old lady was hindered by the old lady. At the scene, the children of the Zhong family did not dare to speak, but there were faint voices of discussion.

Generally speaking, women are proposed to marry, slandered, and have their engagement withdrawn. Regardless of innocence or not, even if a talented fairy descends from heaven, in the future, It's hard to get married. It's a shame to stay at home for a long time.

Everyone's eyes fell on Zhong Wanling, curious, ridiculed, pitiful, regretful...all kinds of things.

Zhong Wanling But she only lowered her eyes and stood in the center of the main hall, unmoving, as if what happened just now and the people and things around her had nothing to do with her, and were just passing clouds surrounding her. The old lady looked at Zhong Wanling like this, She showed a happy smile and slapped her hands on the coffee table next to her. The hall became quiet again.

The old lady stretched out her hand and asked the maid to help her stand up. She stood up tremblingly, cleared her throat and said:"I took this opportunity to speak out. My granddaughter is not an extraordinary creature, and her marriage is not something we mere mortals can control."

Zhong Wanling suddenly raised her head, and her watery eyes looked at the old but passionate woman in front of her in surprise. The woman was also looking at her intently and lovingly.

She said:"She is destined to fly to the sky. , will become a great weapon. She will become a golden elixir and a great master."

She said:"Of course, if one day, she may find the person she loves and form a Taoist couple with him. It's all her choice. Whether there is or not, she will always be a descendant of my Zhong family."

After that, there was no more trouble at the birthday banquet.
