People are among the Eight Immortals, starting from Painted Skin Ghost

Chapter 277 The Cui family in Qinghe: "It was actually the Heavenly Master Dongxiao Guangji and the two of them who acted as matchmakers..."; I just lamented that they were destined but not destined to each other.
"It's just a small spell, not worth mentioning..."

Hearing this, Han Xiangzi chuckled.

It is not difficult to make He Shuxiu look more than twenty years younger.

But to extend his life for twenty years, it was not his fault.

You must know that when a person is born and when he dies, everything is determined.

It's all recorded in the Book of Life and Death of the King of Hell.

But when one reaches the level of Han Xiangzi’s cultivation, one can tell at a glance when others will die.

According to He Shu's fortune-telling, there is an eighty-eighty percent chance of surviving.

Such a long life, looking at the world, is a long life.

At the moment, He Shuxiu is still not confused about coming forward.

It has almost fifty years of life left.

But Lu Zhiyao was different. She could only live 68 years.

It is true that Han Xiangzi is a disciple of the Supreme Master, and it is true that he is a good knower and has mental and supernatural powers. However, he is not yet capable, so he secretly writes some books to extend his life without informing the underworld.

After all, there is still an Emperor Fengdu sitting in the underworld.

Han Xiangzi cannot ignore it.

All he can do is to rejuvenate him for twenty years.

He will still die at the age of 88.

"Thank you Immortal Master!"

Although he was more than 20 years younger, He Shuxiu felt that his body and mind were much more comfortable than before, and his energy doubled.

After being surprised, he quickly stepped forward to pay homage to Han Xiangzi.

Seeing this, Lu Zhiyao moved her steps, walked up to Han Xiangzi, and bowed to him:
"Thank you Immortal Master for being a matchmaker for the two of us!"

Han Xiangzi nodded slightly and said with a smile:

"You two are destined to get married. What I did was just follow the tide."

Having said this, he looked at Old Madam Lu, Third Old Madam and other famous ministers, and pointed out:
"On the contrary, Mrs. Lu and others made a big step forward..."

"I don't dare, Immortal Han is too praised."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mrs. Lu and the others tensed up and apologized with a smile.

the other side.

He Shuxiu and Lu Zhiyao looked at each other, and then came to Grandpa Lu, Lu Xieyuan and others, knelt down and thanked them.

"History He, the old man and others were very considerate of our clan, so I hope you will forgive me if we did not treat you well."

Looking at this scene, Old Mrs. Lu was speechless for a while, and finally let out a long sigh and spoke to He Shuxiu.

After all, some time later, He Shuxiu would become Fan Yanglu's uncle.

Previously, all the comments made by Fan Yang and Lu family were ridiculing.

Old Mrs. Lu was afraid that he would take it to heart, so she deliberately resolved the conflict.

Moreover, with the relationship between He Shuxiu and Han Xiangzi, there is no guarantee that he will not become the prime minister in the future.

If the relationship becomes too tense, both parties will definitely look bad.

Saying it now means exposing the matter.

It will be better to be harmonious in the future.

He Shuxiu knew in his heart that the reason why Old Madam Lu changed his previous domineering attitude was because of Master Han Xian.

In any case, Mrs. Lu's ability to speak this way was considered as a step down for him.

He Shuxiu is a knowledgeable person and can naturally understand.

Besides, Lu Zhiyao is the daughter of the Lu family of Fan Yang after all, so it is impossible for him to not have contact with the Lu family in his life.

At that moment, he smiled and said warmly:
"The old lady is serious about her words. I am really frightened that the Fan Yang Lu family can recognize me as their son-in-law."

"From now on, I will treat Yao'er sincerely and advance and retreat together with the Lu family!"

After saying this, everyone looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere became much more harmonious.

"By the way, I would also like to ask Master Han Xian to do some calculations for this beautiful couple. When will the wedding date be set?"

While everyone was chatting, Lu Xieyuan asked Han Xiangzi politely.

"The sixth day of the next month is an auspicious day and a good time to get married."

Han Xiangzi counted with his fingers and said without thinking.

"Then follow the wishes of Master Han."

Hearing this, Lu Xieyuan and others responded thoughtfully.

There is still more than half a month until the sixth day of next month.

Enough for the Fan Yang Lu family to spread their wings.

"Master Han Xian, I wonder if Duke Changli is feeling well these days?"

After the marriage between He Shuxiu and Lu Zhiyao was decided, the topic of conversation turned to Han Yu.

Last year, Han Yu made such a fuss in Chang'an that he couldn't help but write the "Admonition to the Buddha's Bones" and almost used a death remonstrance to dissuade His Majesty from welcoming the Buddha's bones. It caused quite a stir at the time.

In the end, Han Yu was demoted to Chaozhou.

To put it bluntly, this incident caused a sensation in the entire Tang Dynasty.

There is no reason for Fan Yang Lu not to know.

Fortunately, after Han Yu arrived in Chaozhou, he got help from the Tianshi Dongxiao Guangji and drove away the dragon god, allowing Han Yu to regain the game.

Only then did the Holy One mention the matter of welcoming the Buddha's bones again.

But the aftermath of the incident is still there.

Today's Holy Master still has the heart to worship the Buddha.

Fortunately, Han Yu is now in Chaozhou and not in Chang'an, so the turmoil has subsided.

But everyone knew that once Duke Changli returned to Chang'an, the turmoil would inevitably rise again.

By then, the government and the opposition will surely be in turmoil.

Several major clans, including the Fanyang Lu clan and the Qinghe Cui clan, are still waiting and watching.

Unexpectedly, due to Lu Zhiyao's incident, the Dongxiao Guangji Celestial Masters Association suddenly showed up and came to the Lu family.

He is the biggest supporter behind Duke Changli.

Therefore, Mrs. Lu thought about it for a long time before deciding to ask him.

"My great-uncle is in good health, and I am thinking about you, Mrs. Laolu."

Han Xiangzi smiled lightly.

He heard the implication of Old Mrs. Lu's words, and immediately said to himself without any hurry:
“The spread of Buddhism to the East is a great trend!”

"It is not a bad thing that the Holy One wants to use Buddhism to educate all people and stabilize the country."

"But if the situation is misdirected, chaos will occur sooner or later."

"Old Madam Lu, you should know the character of my poor Taoist uncle. He was devoted to the people and the country of the Tang Dynasty. That's why he dared to be the first in the world and that's why he tried his best to remonstrate with the Holy One and prevent the Buddha's bones from entering the capital."

"I am an outsider. To me, the world is just a sea of ​​change and a cloud of smoke in the past."

Say it.

When Old Mrs. Lu and others heard this, they couldn't help but lower their heads thoughtfully, thinking deeply.

After he had figured it out, Grandpa Lu invited Han Xiangzi, Shan Shen Gou Wei and He Shuxiu to stay here for a banquet.

Han Xiangzi did not refuse Old Madam Lu's kindness and readily accepted it.

And when Han Xiangzi and the other three were having a banquet at the Lu family in Fanyang.

In Fanyang City, the news that He Shuxiu, the governor of Jingzhou, came here privately has gradually spread.

Previously, there were occasional rumors from the Lu family of Fan Yang that Lu Zhiyao, the granddaughter of Lu Xieyuan, the third old lady, was in love with He Shuxiu, the governor of Jingzhou, but this was just a conversation after dinner and has not been confirmed by the Lu family of Fan Yang.

But now, it's different.

It means a lot that He Shuxiu, the governor of Jingzhou, came to visit him personally.

That night.

Perhaps Mrs. Lu and others knew about the rumors outside.

At that moment, everyone gathered together and thought that the marriage between He Shuxiu and Lu Zhiyao, the governor of Jingzhou, had been decided, so they no longer kept it a secret.

Announce it directly!

As soon as this incident came out, the whole Zhuozhou was really shocked!
Many people in the wine shop and inn were talking about:
"Have you heard?"

"Then Lu Zhiyao, daughter of the Lu family in Fanyang, is going to marry He Shuxiu, the governor of Jingzhou!" "Isn't it possible?"

"A few days ago, wasn't there a rumor that the Fifth Young Master Cui of the Cui family in Qinghe was going to marry this daughter of the Lu family?"

"Why has it been changed to Governor He now?"

"The fact that He Shuxiu can take the position of governor is certainly extraordinary, but in the end it cannot compare to the Cui family of Qinghe."

"What do you think, Mrs. Lu of the Fan Yang Lu family, by marrying the daughter of the Lu family to the governor He? Isn't this making fun of the Cui family of Qinghe?"

"What Xiongtai said is true. It has angered the Qinghe Cui family, and the Fanyang Lu family will not get any good results!"

"..."

……

……

After three days.

Tang Dynasty, Qinghe County.

In a mansion of the Cui family.

Snapped!
Suddenly there was a crisp sound of porcelain cracking, but it was a middle-aged man in a rich suit in the room who threw the cup in his hand to the ground!

"Why not?"

"This Fan Yang Lu family is bullying others too much!"

"I'm so ignorant of the rules. My son obviously wants to marry that daughter of the Lu family, but when the two families are about to set a wedding date, he is betrothed to someone else!"

This man, named Cui Hao Lian, is the biological father of Cui Yanyan, the fifth son of the Cui family.

He is also the third brother of the contemporary Cui family head.

It’s Mr. Cui’s second son!
He had been busy with this marriage, waiting to see if it would come to fruition, but he didn't expect that all the hard work would be in vain in the end.

How could this make Cui Penglian not angry?
Not long after, someone in the inner house might have heard the noise, so a beautiful woman came out and comforted him:
"Master, don't be angry."

"The old man said that Mrs. Lu is also a person who knows etiquette. Besides, the Lu family is also a prominent family and would not act so unmeasured."

"There's probably another hidden reason behind this matter!"

"Besides, we have Yan'er, who is so talented and has the beauty of a tree in the wind, why worry about not having a wife?"

Cui HaoLian was so angry that he could not listen anymore. He said dissatisfiedly:

"Humph!"

"Even if there is something hidden, we shouldn't have announced the matter without discussing it with the Cui family in advance!"

"This is not taking our Cui family seriously!"

"I'll go talk to the old man right now. If the Lu family doesn't give my Cui family a satisfactory answer on this matter, it won't be easy for everyone in the future!"

Cui Hao Lian has a hot temper and is impatient.

Today, he was in a restaurant having a gathering with friends. Unexpectedly, he learned that Lu Zhiyao from the Fanyang Lu family was going to marry Jingzhou Governor He!
Although before, he also knew that Jingzhou Governor He had some connection with Lu Zhiyao.

But in Cui Haolian's view, unless that old lady Lu...

Do not!
It should be said that the entire Lu family was confused, so they chose the latter between the Cui family of Qinghe and He Shuxiu, the governor of Jingzhou!
Who would have thought that the Fan Yang Lu family really chose He Shuxiu, the governor of Jingzhou!
Therefore, after learning about this, He Shuxiu rushed home in anger!

After Cui Hao Lian finished speaking, he left quickly and went straight to Mr. Cui's residence.

……

……

In the Cui family, in Wangtai Garden, Mr. Cui is currently lying leisurely on a reclining chair woven with gold and jade inlaid with jade and bamboo. Standing next to him are two beautiful maids.

One holds tea, the other fan.

Not long after, a noble man with an upright face suddenly walked in. He bowed slightly and said:

"Father!"

"This is a letter suddenly sent by someone from Fan Yang's Lu family. It is said to be written by Mrs. Lu, and she is told to hand it over to you personally!"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Cui looked at the letter in the hand of the visitor, his eyes brightened slightly, and he smiled heartily:

"Why, this Fan Yanglu family has decided on the wedding date?"

How could Mr. Cui not know why Cui Yanyan, the fifth son of the Cui family, was engaged to Lu Zhiyao?

Currently, among the younger generation of the Cui family, Yan Yan is quite popular with him.

This boy is outstanding among all the disciples in terms of his talent, his character, and his way of dealing with people.

He will definitely be the backbone of the Cui family in Qinghe in the future!
Therefore, Mr. Cui is still very concerned about his legitimate wife.

Now that he saw the letter sent by Mrs. Fan Yanglu, he subconsciously thought so.

"Maybe it is. Father will know after opening it and taking a look."

The head of the Cui family echoed from the side.

Hearing this, Mr. Cui opened the letter without doubting his presence.

Holding the letter, Mr. Cui read it carefully.

But within a few breaths, his originally smiling face suddenly darkened.

After a moment, his face became even more solemn.

By the time I finished reading, my brows were filled with gloom and sadness.

"Father, what's wrong?"

When the head of the Cui family saw this, his expression changed and he asked hurriedly.

He had not seen this expression on the old man's face for many years!
"Zirong, go and call your third brother!"

Mr. Cui didn't answer him, but just gave instructions.

"Yes, father."

Although the head of the Cui family was confused, he still had to listen to what the old man said.

After agreeing, the head of the Cui family turned around and left Wangtai Garden.

But before he left, he turned back before even having a cup of tea.

Mr. Cui was still wondering, but when he looked up, he saw his third son, Cui Hao Lian, with him.

"Father!"

Arriving in front of Mr. Cui, Cui Hao Lian suppressed the anger in his heart and bowed politely.

But even so, Mr. Cui still saw something different in his expression.

However, he didn't bother to ask anymore, he just handed over the letter in his hand and said:

"Ziqiao, you two first take a look at Mr. Lu's cronies!"

"letter?"

Hearing this, Cui Haolian looked confused.

After the head of the Cui family took the letter, the two brothers got together and took a closer look.

This beginning is mostly a greeting.

But then, what Old Madam Lu wrote was different.

In the letter, he stated that Tianshi Dongxiao Guangji would come forward to act as a matchmaker between her and He Shuxiu, the governor of Jingzhou, and he had no choice but to agree to the matter.

Finally, he euphemistically said that his daughter Lu was just as beautiful as a pupil and was not worthy of the fifth son of the Cui family.

"That's how it is..."

After Cui HaoLian finished reading, he suddenly realized.

He asked why the Fan Yang Lu family regretted their marriage. It turned out to be coercion!
"Father, Mr. Lu said in his letter that the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji matched Lu Zhiyao and He Shuxiu. Is this true or false?" The head of the Cui family asked doubtfully.

Mr. Cui looked solemn and said in a deep voice:
"It must be true!"

"If the Fan Yang Lu family doesn't want to marry their daughter, there's no need to tell such a big lie!"

"Besides, this Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji was rumored to have appeared in Chaozhou last year. Recently, my father received news that he is suspected to have returned to Chang'an..."

Hearing this, the head of the Cui family couldn't help but shook his head and sighed with regret:

"If this is true, our Yan'er and that girl Zhiyao may have no connection..."

You must understand that the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji is an immortal in the sky, and his magical powers are simply astonishing!

And he had a high status in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, he saved the late emperor, and during the battle between Datang and Hami, he turned the tide and helped the building to collapse!
Facing such a person, even the Cui family of Qinghe must avoid the edge for a while and cannot confront him head-on!
"Father, we can't afford to offend the Celestial Master Dongxiao Guangji, so let's just let the matter of Yan'er's marriage go..."

Hearing this, Cui Hao Lian nodded with deep understanding, and after a while he sighed helplessly.
