Chapter 98 Vision

098 Vision

As if he had reached some kind of tacit understanding with Gao Yu'an, the white-faced scholar looked at Xiang Jiannan deeply when he turned into a puff of green smoke and left. There was someone knocking on the door outside again, and the sudden sound scared the little Taoist priest.

This kind of behavior sometimes made him particularly curious. He had been following the old Taoist priest for so long, but why was he always so jumpy and lacked the calmness of a cultivator?

"Old Taoist priest, we are waiting for you two."

Pei Dafa, who had heard the sound of suona outside the temple, held the gate of Ping'an Temple tightly with both hands. He was extremely excited at this moment. He stretched his neck and stuck his face in, and urged the master and his disciple.

Seeing the young Taoist priest standing behind him just wiping his hands, he wanted to pull both of them out of Ping An Temple immediately.

Was it just packed? County Magistrate Lin and his men had arrived long ago, and asked to see the two Taoists from Ping An Temple. His expression looked quite calm. This was a golden opportunity that could not be found in a lifetime. At the side, Master Guo winked at him frequently.

"Let's go, just getting ready to leave."

Walking out of the Taoist temple and seeing the clear sky above his head, Xiang Jiannan shrank his neck with an uncomfortable expression. He knew that the pale-faced scholar would definitely come back, and he didn't have the courage to get involved in what would happen next. Anyway, he couldn't stay in this Ping'an temple any longer.

Without my master, I feel unsafe again.

"County Magistrate Lin is in a good mood today. When we meet later, the old Taoist priest must seize this opportunity."

Everyone set off for Chen's Mansion. As the sound of suona got closer and closer, Pei Dafa couldn't help but give a few instructions to Gao Yu'an. Although it was called an instruction, it was actually a request. Ever since leaving Ping'an Town last time, Pei Dafa always felt that County Magistrate Lin had some opinions about him. It was just right to use this day to get closer to County Magistrate Lin.

I have also donated some silver before, and the effect seems to be good.

"Mayor, you don't need to say more. I, an old Taoist priest, naturally understand this."

Seeing Pei Dafa's pitiful eyes when he spoke, Gao Yuan immediately put on an understanding expression. The road in the world is never easy, and every aspect must be taken care of.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with the last incident, but the final result did not satisfy County Magistrate Lin. Later, he invited Master Kong and others to come, which must not have been entirely his idea.

Buddhists have privileges, and as the county magistrate, Lin Zhen certainly cannot be their master. At most, he can only make suggestions.

"Then I'm relieved. I'll leave everything to you, old Taoist priest."

As they were talking, the eaves of the Chen Mansion could already be seen. After greeting the lively crowd, Pei Dafa and his party entered the Chen Mansion amid the shouts of the servants. The whole town really joined in the rejoicing. The bright red decorations everywhere in the courtyard made Xiang Jiannan think that Chen Jingxuan was going to get married.

On the wedding night, when their names were passed on the imperial examination, the Chen family has now become the largest family in Ping'an Town.

"The old Taoist priest is here, please take a seat!"

Coming out of the house with a smile on his face, Old Master Chen kept showing how to get ready. Today, he was dressed more elegantly than when he just came back yesterday. His robe looked newly made. As soon as he appeared in the crowd, he had an indescribable temperament all over his body.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. Congratulations, Mr. Chen!"

Led by Mr. Chen, they moved into the main hall. Gao Yuan's smile was like a spring breeze. With his and Xiang Jiannan's arrival, everyone who was sitting at the table chatting stood up at once.

"How are you, old Taoist priest?"

"Thank you for your concern, I am doing fine."

"Come sit next to me."

“.”

Seeing Gao Yuan and County Magistrate Lin having a pleasant conversation, the people who were a little worried before gradually relaxed. They all knew that the old Taoist priest had made County Magistrate Lin unhappy last time, and that when the two met again today, they seemed even more cordial than before. County Magistrate Lin was worthy of being the lord of a county. He had a broad mind and could take anything in his stride.

Even if it's just a superficial act, it can make them feel at ease.

Today is a big day for the Chen family, and County Magistrate Lin is giving them a lot of face.

"I have said many times recently that I want to visit the old Taoist priest, but unfortunately I have been busy with official duties and have not been able to get away."

After a few drinks, he took Chen Jingxuan's hand and said excitedly, "Jingxuan's success is truly an honor for the entire county. I heard that it was also due to the contribution of our master?"

Gao Yuan felt a little embarrassed, but finally nodded under the gaze of everyone.

Not saying anything is tantamount to consent.

"The Ping An Temple's actions are truly meritorious. Jing Xuan, let us both toast to the old Taoist priest!"

Picking up the wine glass and standing up with Chen Jingxuan, County Magistrate Lin acted as if he was the protagonist. This move attracted others to follow suit. For a moment, all kinds of words of praise were spoken along with the wine glasses.

Xiang Jiannan could only agree after hearing this, but he was still thinking about the handsome scholar in his heart.

Chen Jingxuan has not yet gotten rid of the role of a scholar. If he wants to be an official, he still needs to learn more from Lin Zhen. His emotions are in place, but he can't say a word even with his mouth open.

After three rounds of drinking, Xiang Jiannan was a little depressed because he was worried about the white-faced scholar. In the midst of joy, he always thought of Ping'an Temple. The white-faced scholar should have arrived at the stinky ditch by now, and like last time, he was still messing around in the water with two iron chains? The master sounded like he admitted that he knew everything that happened in the stinky ditch that day. Without his thunder talisman to help, what else would the white-faced scholar do? Who was the one who made the two angry scoldings that day? Could it be that the master disguised his voice? Thinking wildly, Xiang Jiannan just raised his glass with everyone else, and found that today's wine didn't seem to be as intoxicating as yesterday.

"Mayor, can you come out for a moment?"

After a few drinks, he felt himself becoming more and more sober. Xiang Jiannan was completely unable to relax amid the conversation of the big shots. Compared with the drunk people at other tables who were beginning to show their true colors, they had not yet lost their composure.

Magistrate Lin was sitting in the main seat, and all the guests at the table were of distinguished status. Although they were drinking frequently, the proceedings were not chaotic. Just as he was feeling bored and tormented, a laborer named San Shunzi suddenly walked in.

Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)

Just as he was about to lie down and talk to Pei Dafa in his ear, he was scared back by his kick.

"If you have anything to say, just say it. Can't you see the county magistrate is sitting here?"

"yes!"

San Shunzi was startled by Pei Da's roar. He didn't even dare to look at County Magistrate Lin. He lowered his head and spoke incoherently, but fortunately it sounded clear:

"It's nothing serious, I just found something wrong with the water well at home."

"What's wrong?"

Seeing that San Shunzi's words were unclear, no one at the table took it seriously. Following an order from Old Master Chen, the servants were soon ordered to quietly leave. Pei Da's face turned red, and he wanted to explode but forced himself to hold back:

"If you have nothing to do, go out and have a few more drinks. It's no big deal."

"yes"

San Shunzi retreated awkwardly amid the puzzled looks of the crowd and was very reluctant to leave. Only Xiang Jiannan wanted to follow him out, and he turned around only when Pei Dafa called him.

The pale-faced scholar took action, and the matter might be related to him.

"Master, I have seen them all."

While he was puzzled, the servant that Old Master Chen had ordered came back again. Xiang Jiannan saw that he looked a little flustered. After entering the house, he did not avoid everyone. After getting the consent, he immediately said: "The well of San Shunzi's family is constantly overflowing. The same is true for our house and other families. It is about to overflow the well."

"A strange phenomenon from the sky?"

After the servant finished speaking, he quickly linked the incident to Chen Jingxuan's high school entrance exam. Pei Dafa reacted quickly: "It must have been caused by the third young master's high school entrance exam!"

"Oh, this is incredible!"

"Go out and take a look!"

As the smiles that had disappeared from everyone's faces reappeared, Xiang Jiannan immediately stood up from his chair and followed the crowd out of the main hall to check out the so-called strange phenomenon they were talking about.

I seemed to hear some noise just now, but was startled by the sound of the suona and lost feeling again.
