Chapter 260 Recognizing Ancestors

"Tsk tsk, you don't stop even when you're getting old. Robbing a civilian girl as a wife? The so-called civilian girl is still an 11-year-old girl? Why didn't I know you had this habit in the past?"

In the outer courtyard of Huajiabenjia, there is a beautiful scene like a fairyland on earth.

And in this beautiful scenery, a woman is sitting in the gazebo.

That woman has a plump body and extremely beautiful appearance. She is different from the frailty of ordinary women. It is a kind of charm that penetrates to the bone.If Mo Qianrui was here, he would definitely think that this is a woman who came down from the pictures of ladies in the Tang Dynasty.But at this moment, the plump woman was holding a delicate lacquered porcelain cup in her hand, with a faint smile on her face, but what she said was something that would make you angry.

Opposite her, the person sitting was none other than the elder priest of the Hua family who had met Mo Qianrui once.

In the beginning, the woman said she said it, but she was still decent. The old priest was very angry, but she still didn't open her mouth to refute.

Perhaps it was because the desired effect was not achieved, the woman put the teacup in her hand to her mouth and took a sip, and added fire when she spoke again: "Speaking of which, are you okay?"

Don't say no if you are a man!

The old priest looked seventy or eighty years old on the outside, but in fact he was already ninety-two.

There is no need to deliberately talk too much about the question of whether it can be done or not, it must not be done.

But no matter what, the old priest couldn't help but explode immediately after being slandered like this in person!

"You fat man! Your whole family is fat! You pay attention to the fact that the eighteen generations are all fat!"

The woman raised her eyebrows, although it was just a very simple movement, it looked very moving when she did it, as if she didn't care about what the old priest said at all.After the old priest calmed down, she smiled slightly and said, "Is there any other words? I'm tired of hearing fat people."

"You, you, you..." Although the old priest is old, when it comes to talking, he is far from the woman's match.

He himself seemed to know this too. After trembling for a long time, he finally gave up in dejection.

Seeing this, the woman didn't show much complacency, she just put the tea cup in her hand on the table lightly, but cast her eyes on the lotus pond behind the gazebo.Now this season is not the season when the lotus is in full bloom, so the lotus pond is a little deserted, but it also has a different style.

"It doesn't matter whether you can do it or not, what are you going to do with this matter? My Hua family doesn't want to bear the reputation of robbing civilian girls."

"I didn't! I'm so old!" The old priest first defended himself, but suddenly stopped talking, as if remembering something.

"Is there something you're hiding from me?"

After struggling for a long time, the old priest finally told about the last meeting with Mo Qianrui.And he didn't have the slightest intention to hide it for Huaxian Cheng's family, and he told the other party everything truthfully.

Including, the agreement he had made with Mo Qianrui.

"The county magistrate of Yu County?" The woman repeated softly, and quickly recalled the news about Hua County magistrate's family in her mind, "Is it a side branch that has been separated for several generations? How dare you rob the civilian girl? No , I remember that the young master of his family is quite talented, and his appearance is also very good. Such a cute person, shouldn't he be very popular with little girls?"

"If the little girl has a sweetheart, no matter how good the young master is, he won't be taken seriously at all."

"That's true. So, what consideration do they have for deliberately framing you?"

These words failed the old priest.

In fact, he had thought that if Cheng Huaxian still refused to give up, he would be willing to help Mo Qianrui once he begged him.But this does not mean that he is willing to take the blame for others.As for the Mo family's considerations for doing this, he really didn't know.

"That's all, I have to run around. I promised that little girl that if she asks for something in the future, I will definitely help."

That's what he said, yes, but the old priest still felt uncomfortable.

It's quite comfortable to be asked to come to your door and then reluctantly agree with airs.But now it's not like that at all!

This damn Mo family stinky girl!
Regardless of how much resentment the old priest had in his heart, he still followed the yamen servants of the prefect's mansion obediently.

However, because of the delay before, it was already after noon when he walked slowly to the Sheriff's Mansion.

Although the Governor of the County is the biggest official in Wanhua County, he still has some taboos about the local emperor Hua's family in Wanhua County.Of course, he didn't need to care about the magistrate of Yuxian County, but the old priest was the worship of the Hua family, and he was also called the old god in the inner city of Wanhua County.

How to say this?

There is a saying that life at seventy is rare since ancient times.It is already a very rare thing to be able to live to the seventies and eighties these days.Like the old priest of the Hua family, who is already ninety-two years old, but he really can't find one in a hundred miles.

This has lived for a long time, and naturally has more knowledge.

The old priest also has some skills, he can pinch and count, and he can also help people treat difficult and miscellaneous diseases.It is normal to be called an old god.

Seeing that the yamen servant brought the old priest of the Hua family over, the governor of the county was quite polite and gave him a seat and asked him to sit down and speak slowly.

"About the big girl from the Mo family..."

The governor of the county made a start, hoping that the old priest would take the initiative to continue and explain the matter.To be honest, he himself didn't really believe that the old priest would do such a thing as robbing women from the people.Of course, it doesn't necessarily mean believing in the character of the other party, but it's not necessary.

What is the identity of Huajia?The elders are enshrined in front of the direct descendants of the Hua family, and they all have a very high status.If you really want to find a partner, you just need to open your mouth, and someone will take the initiative to send you to your door.

However, since the Mo family submitted the certificate, as the governor of the county, he must uphold justice for the common people.

"Ahem, is that the eldest girl of the Mo family?" The old priest scanned around, only seeing other members of the Mo family, but not Mo Qianrui himself, so he couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart.Could it be that Cheng Huaxian has already made a move?In desperation, the Mo family came up with this method and hoped to intervene?
After hesitating for a while, the old priest looked at the county sheriff: "I think the Mo family must have misunderstood. Actually, I proposed to marry the young lady of the Mo family for my little grandson."

"Little grandson? I enshrine you...and a little grandson?" The governor was full of suspicion. Although he was not a native of Wanhua County, he had been here for five years.He served two consecutive terms as sheriff, and thought he knew all about the rich and noble families in Wanhua County, but he had never heard of this old priest of the Hua family and his relatives alive.

"It's not my own grandson, it's the little grandson I just met not long ago. By the way, maybe the county sheriff has heard of that person? That is, not long ago, two young masters from the Duan family's direct line visited the Hua family. , They also brought a cousin. The cousin's surname is Tang, he recognized me as a godfather, and I plan to let the eldest daughter of the Mo family marry my little grandson."

Although the governor of the county had never seen Tang Yanxiu, he had heard about it after all.

At that moment, he looked at the Mo family's father and grandmother, and said, "Did you hear what the old priest said? That Young Master Tang, although I am not familiar with him, I know that he is a young man in his teens. What's the situation with the Tang family? , I don't know, but Young Master Tang's mother's family is the Duan family in Luyang County, which is richer than the Hua family. I think this marriage is okay."

In fact, even in the past, the old enshrined matter, the sheriff thought it was okay.

Even, he had already thought about it before, if the old priest wanted to find a young companion, and if the girl from the Mo family refused to agree, he planned to let his concubine daughter try it.He only has one prostitute daughter, whom he raised like a sweetheart, but he has three concubine daughters.If one could climb up to the Hua family, it would be completely irrelevant to abandon a concubine.

What a pity, what a pity...

"Young Master Tang? That's fine." At first, Mo's father was worried that the old priest would refute this matter angrily, or insisted that Mo Qianrui should marry the only son of Huaxian Cheng.If this is the case, it will be difficult for them.I never thought that the old priest would say such words, but it was right in their arms.

In the eyes of the sheriff, this is an inexplicable accusation, but he has no objection.

After all, the status of the old priest is different from that of ordinary people, and the Mo family may not have been considered much at first, but now the eldest daughter of the Mo family is actually engaged to the grandson of the old priest, the county governor immediately takes a different view of the Mo family.

He politely sent him away, but the father of the Mo family kept beating drums in his heart.

Fortunately, the old priest was very cooperative with them. If the old priest insisted on embarrassing them just now, how would this matter be resolved?Judging by the appearance of the county sheriff, it is obvious that if the old priest just stopped denying it, and even accused them of a crime of framing, I am afraid that this matter will really be unresolved.

After leaving the Sheriff's Mansion, the father of the Mo family grabbed the old priest.

First, there was a series of apologies, and then the old priest was invited to the restaurant to talk, and the shopkeeper Li Da was also helping, hoping that the old priest would have a lot, and it would be best if he could help his boss to transfer the names of the so-called god-grandfather and god-grandson. Points are given.

This meal was served in the best restaurant in the outer city of Wanhua County. In the sincere words of Mo's father and grandmother, as well as the eloquent praise of Li Da shopkeeper, the old priest sold it happily. own.

Cough, to be precise, not only did he agree to officially recognize Tang Yanxiu as his grandson when he came back, but he also took advantage of the wine to recognize shopkeeper Li Da as his son.

son……

In fact, at the age of the old priest, it is no problem to recognize shopkeeper Li as a grandson, but shopkeeper Li obviously cannot be of the same generation as Tang Yanxiu, otherwise Mo Qianrui who called shopkeeper Li "uncle" would be regarded as What's going on?
In the end, with Li Da shopkeeper kowtowing to the old priest and serving tea as a knot, he willingly and extraordinarily recognized his father, and also helped Tang Yanxiu agree to recognize his grandfather.

And in the private room of the restaurant, when the relatives were enjoying themselves, Huaxian Cheng finally rushed to Wanhua County.
