Chapter 6 (1/2)
After drinking, Taoist Wang asked the Li family to go to the engagement banquet. Father Li was really busy. With a thousand liang of silver, he decided to hire a good cook, buy some good food and wine again, and then buy good jewelry and silk to send to Miss Zhao.
These things have to be done in the afternoon, and time is still very tight.
Taoist priest Wang called the female apprentice and said, ”you accompany me around the village.”
Yu Qingyao went.
She guessed that Taoist Wang was both a social elite and a Taoist. When he came to the mountains, he just looked for some elegance and interest, so he led his master to see several streams, stone bridges, bamboo forests and green valleys near the village.
The king smiled and said, ”Qing Yao, you are so interesting!”
Yu Qingyao said with a smile, ”master is a virtuous person. I can't lead you to see farming, cutting firewood and herding sheep.”
Taoist Wang laughed.
I think this apprentice is interesting. I won't lose face if I take him out.
After walking for a while and chatting for a while, Yu Qingyao became alert when he saw Taoist priest Wang staring at him as if thinking. I don't talk like a girl who hasn't been out of the village. I need to prevent my master from becoming suspicious. When she saw the wild flowers blooming on the roadside, she picked them and made them into two wreaths. One was worn by herself and the other was given to master. She said, ”master, give you one!”
Taoist Wang looked funny. The wreath is cute. What's the matter with me?
”Master! Wear it! It's very nice!” Yu Qingyao said coquettishly, pretending to be ignorant and innocent.
Taoist priest Wang took the wreath, tried to put it on his head, smiled and asked, ”does it look good, master?”
Yu Qingyao covered her lips, smiled and shook her head. I felt that master was very funny wearing the wreath, but I didn't dare to laugh.
The Taoist priest laughed, took off the wreath and put it on her.
After such a fuss, most of Wang Daochang's previous doubts went away.
Yu Qingyao just happens to like elegant scenery, not trying to please herself.
In the evening, the master and apprentice returned to the Li family for dinner. At this time, Li Huaide's two uncles came. And one of his uncles, two aunts and two aunts.
The Li family had two dinners in the evening.
After drinking the wine, the Li family invited Taoist Wang to stay at his house.
Taoist Wang pushed and said, ”there are many guests in your house, so I won't bother your house. It's the same when I go to Yu's house.”
Yu Qingyao was wary, but the ancient masters and disciples were like father and son. Taoist Wang wanted to live in her house, which could not be refused.
She smiled and clapped her hands and said, ”OK! Master, don't go to other houses. You must go to my house.”
The Li family had to ask Li Huaide to send Taoist Wang to Yu's house after being rejected three times.
When she got home, Yu Qingyao pretended to be suddenly uneasy and said, ”master, I don't have a good bed at home. Otherwise, you'd better go to Li's house?”
Taoist Wang looked at the situation of the Yu family and found that they were indeed poor. It can be said that there are no walls.
In the past three years, Yu Qingyao sold everything she could sell at home in order to eat enough.
There is only one wooden table, two benches, a cabinet and a bed left at home.
Li Huaide also said on the side, ”master, you'd better go back to my house!”
Taoist Wang shook his head and said, ”no!”
He took out a piece of paper and cut it into the shape of a table.
