Lin Jiabiyu

Li Zhongtan stared straight back, snorted contemptuously at King Xining, and swayed towards the courtyard with his rag-like sleeves swaying.

The king of Xining took a deep breath and followed with a grim expression.

Lin Wan looked at Li Zhongtan and King Xining amusedly, and asked Lu Junzhao, "Is this master really a priest?"

"Well," Lu Junzhao explained with a smile in his eyes, pointing at the tip of Lin Wan's nose, "I heard him say it when I was young, it seems that he did receive precepts in a Taoist temple when he was young, and then he left the Taoist temple for some reason. Don't think he's incompetent, but he's good at kung fu and extremely good at using poison, Zhu Si was also taught by him."

Lin Wan blinked her eyes in surprise and admiration. This Taoist priest is really capable.

"Then master's meeting gift... I'll ask Qiu Zi to keep it safe?" Lin Wan looked at the unremarkable jade piece in his hand hesitantly, and frowned.

"Keep it away." Lu Junzhao shook Lin Wan's hand with a smile, took the jade piece and looked at it carefully by the candlelight, and explained softly, "I've only seen this thing a few times. Baby, no one else can touch it. Since he gave it to you, he really likes you."

Lin Wan smiled and nodded. "Let's go back and change our clothes first, and then greet Master?"

Lu Junzhao laughed when he heard this, and hummed in approval.

The two walked side by side and hurried back to Tingfengyuan.Lin Wan first went to Princess Wei's place with Nanny Wei, and said that she wanted to take over Li Zhongtan, and Princess Wei quickly agreed with a smile.

"I was just about to tell you. Brother Zhao's master has a weird temper, but he is kind. Brother Zhao practiced martial arts with him when he was two years old, and was taken to the south after that. Daochang Li can be regarded as Brother Zhao's half-father .In a while, you two have a good talk with the Taoist priest. I asked the kitchen to prepare the food and drink. Are your father and the Taoist priest still arguing?"

Lin Wan was stunned for a moment, then blinked and smiled and said, "I just met Master and Father at the door. It looks like the two have just finished arguing. Master thinks our palace is rude, and my wife is thinking about going to make amends!"

Princess Wei clapped her hands and laughed uncontrollably. "The Taoist priest's temperament is like this, that's what he said. ——Let's go, let's go there together." Then he pulled Lin Wan, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went into the main courtyard hall talking and laughing.

In the main hall, Li Zhongtan sat unceremoniously on the right hand side of the main entrance.Shaking his head, he held the tea bowl and took a sip of the tea in an uncomfortable way, then sighed comfortably, nodded his head and praised sympathetically, "It's still acceptable."

King Xining turned his face away and snorted with extreme disdain.

Lu Junzhao went to the main hall first, saw Xining Wang and Li Zhongtan sneered at each other coldly, raised their eyebrows, went into the room and bowed to Li Zhongtan.But without waiting for Li Zhongtan's reaction, he straightened up and took his seat.

Li Zhongtan opened his eyes and slapped Lu Junzhao angrily: "The wings are hard on you? You are getting more and more unruly with the old man!"

"I heard from Xiao Zhuzi that Master was drunk and missed my wedding?" Lu Junzhao looked at Li Zhongtan coldly, frowned, but asked first.

Li Zhongtan was blocked back in anger, and looked away a little guilty.Coughing: "Who said that? The old man hasn't been drinking for the past few days! It's only your fault that the people sent by my father went too late, and the old man missed the wedding in vain."

"Can you blame me?" King Xining immediately jumped up when he heard this.Pointing at Li Zhongtan's nose and gnashing his teeth, "You old drunk!"

"What old drunk?" Li Zhongtan's eyes widened, and he cocked his legs and curled his lips at King Xining, "In terms of age, the old man is your old man; in terms of seniority, when the old man came out to walk the rivers and lakes, you were still wearing underpants. Argument……"

"What are you talking about? Shut up!" Old Wang of Xining blushed.Staring at the skinny old face who was about the same age as him, he gritted his teeth and roared back. "Aren't you 20 years older than Lao Tzu Bai?"

"Ai ai ai..." Li Zhongtan straightened up, shaking his head slowly and "teaching" the king of Xining, "You are wrong, my age is not in vain, at least I am old He has experienced more things than you, sees farther than you, and is more capable than you by more than 01:30..."

The king of Xining stomped his feet angrily, snorted, and snorted again, but he had nothing to refute. Who made this old Taoist older than him?There are people in their seventies, but they can still yell at people with a blushing face and a thick neck, and they don't give in at all when they move their hands.

Not long after, the eldest son Lu Junqing also came over and greeted Li Zhongtan with a smile.Li Zhongtan straightened his face, frowned and looked at Lu Junqing for a moment, stroked his beard and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Your body will be fine after a while, but the foundation will be damaged after all."

"Boy understand, thank you, Daoist."

Lu Junqing has a gentle temper, but he has learned a lot. He talked with Li Zhongtan about Taoism for a while, but he talked very enthusiastically. Obviously, they talked a lot when they were in the south.

King Xining and Lu Junzhao had cold faces. Both father and son sat on the chairs with their bodies straightened up. Occasionally, they glanced at Li Zhongtan and Lu Junqing, and the two looked at each other inadvertently.

After a while, Princess Wei brought Wen and Lin Wan into the house, followed by the maids and mothers who brought food boxes in one after another.

"I haven't had my apprentice's daughter-in-law's tea yet!" Princess Wei was about to seat everyone when Li Zhongtan jumped up and pointed at Lin Wan, glaring unceremoniously at King Xining.

Lin Wan looked at Lu Junzhao with a funny look, and then looked at the faces of Princess Wei and King Xining. Under Princess Wei's approving eyes, she hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Zhongtan, and persuaded with a smile, "It's all my fault, isn't it?" It is time to toast Master with a cup of tea, Master, please sit down first."

Li Zhongtan hummed in satisfaction, raised his neck and raised his eyebrows at King Xining, flung his sleeves triumphantly and sat down.

Lin Wan took the tea bowl from the mother-in-law, knelt down respectfully in front of Li Zhongtan, and offered the tea with a smile: "Ah Wan, Mrs. Lin, present tea to Master."

Li Zhongtan took it with a smile, took a sip, and then sat down at the table carelessly.

Wen looked at Lin Wan, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes, with a gentle smile on his face, busily filling wine and delivering food for everyone.

"Sit down too." Princess Wei smiled and pulled Wen Shi and Lin Wan to point to the two vacant seats beside her.

"It's because mother loves us." Wen smiled gently, but postponed the sentence like a joke, "But mother, don't worry, the two daughters-in-law can still endure the hunger at this hour."

Li Zhongtan looked at Wen Shi impatiently, waved his hand, pointed to Lin Wan and said, "Brother Zhao, daughter-in-law, sit here!" Then he pointed to Wen Shi, "Daughter-in-law Qing, sit down too. Stand awkwardly even after eating, you are the only ones who have more rules!"

After finishing speaking, he gave King Xining a look of disdain.

King Xining curled his lips and simply pretended not to see it.

Lin Wan complied straightforwardly without being annoyed, and generously handed the chopsticks in her hand to Madam Xing beside her, said with a smile, "Please trouble Madam", then sat down beside Lu Junzhao, picked up the chopsticks and picked them up. The jug poured half a glass of wine for Li Zhongtan, and half a glass for King Xining.

"Master, try it. This is the rice wine brewed in our house. It is said that my father has preserved it for several years."

Li Zhongtan raised his eyebrows, glanced at the awkward King Xining, and coughed, with some satisfaction in his eyes, and the expression on his face clearly said: This is more or less the same.

After drinking half a glass of wine, Li Zhongtan smacked his mouth in satisfaction, and raised his empty glass to King Xining, making peace.

King Xining snorted, but still raised his cup and drank.

"Okay, let's eat."

While sipping wine, Li Zhongtan gossips with King Xining with great interest, occasionally talking about anecdotes along the way.

With a bit of curiosity and excitement in Lin Wan's eyes, she listened to Li Zhongtan's words with a smile, and occasionally asked a few words, but it made Li Zhongtan laugh out loud, and said bluntly that her apprentice and daughter-in-law got a good job.

In the middle of the meal, Lin Wan saw that Li Zhongtan was almost drunk, so he calmly changed the hot tea and served it. Li Zhongtan brought it to him and drank it, frowning and looking at Lin Wan impatiently.

Lin Wan hurriedly smiled and tugged at Li Zhongtan's sleeves, blinked her eyes and said with a low laugh: "This wine is good, but there are many good wines in the capital, so master should save some for Lu Zhao to buy tomorrow." Some good wine, we'll drink it later."

Li Zhongtan nodded in satisfaction while belching his wine, and sure enough he didn't want any more wine.

A smile flashed across Lu Junzhao's eyes, and he gently shook Lin Wan's hand, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Princess Wei looked at her second son and daughter-in-law with emotion, with a gentle smile in her eyes, and sighed in her heart, this is really not a family that does not enter the house.

Wen served the dishes for Princess Wei, occasionally glanced at Lin Wan and Li Zhongtan with a smile, with some disdain and irony in his eyes.

After the meal, Lin Wan and Lu Junzhao helped Li Zhongtan, who was slightly drunk, to the guest room, but Li Zhongtan drove him out of the room impatiently with a wave of his hand.

Lin Wan hurriedly asked Lu Junzhao to find the nanny and servants in the yard, and gave them detailed instructions, then went back to the main courtyard to return to King Xining and Princess Wei, and said that he would go to Cishou Temple to see Ji Wu the next day. Then all the way back to Tingfengyuan.

Early the next morning, Mammy Cao and Mammy Xing watched the mother-in-law put on the carriage, Lin Wan and Lu Junzhao got dressed, went to the main courtyard and the guest room first, and then went out together. Boarded the car and went to Cishou Temple.

When they arrived at Cishou Temple, Liaokong greeted him with a pleasant smile, before Lin Wan could open his mouth, he said with a smile: "It's a coincidence that the two benefactors came today, just now an old Taoist priest went in and was talking with the master. He said that the two of them knew each other, and the master even told them to let them go."

Lin Wan laughed in surprise, and looked up at Lu Junzhao.

Lu Junzhao frowned slightly, held Lin Wan's hand, and asked Kong Kong: "Is that Taoist surnamed Li?"

Kong Kong nodded clearly, and said with a smile: "Exactly, the master said to let the two benefactors go in directly."

Lin Wan sighed and pulled Lu Junzhao in surprise, and wondered as he walked: "Didn't we go to Master's room before we came out? Master hasn't gotten up yet, so why did we arrive here before us now? Master and the old monk, they know each other well." ?”

"Master walks fast. As for Tong Ji Wu..." Lu Junzhao frowned and coughed weakly, "Master Ji Wu went to the south before, and Master and Master knew each other, but... they quarreled when they met."
