However, they said that under the leadership of the short and fat old man and the four servants, they saw a deep house in front of them. When they passed through the several hundred square meters of bluestone platform, they saw vermilion gates with animal faces and rings on both sides. Against the backdrop of lions, the courtyard gate supported by two gateposts looks extraordinarily magnificent.

At this moment, a row of red lanterns with happy characters on them hangs outside the gate of the courtyard. Under the red candlelight, it looks beaming.Eight boys in black shorts stood at the door.Seeing a group of people approaching, he quickly greeted them.

"Butler Hu."

"These people are all distinguished guests invited by the old man, and you open the middle door to welcome them."

There was a trace of surprise on the boy's face, and he subconsciously looked at the crowd behind him.

"What are you looking at, hurry up!"

"Yes, little one, let's go."

The boy hurried inside and opened the middle door.

"Everyone, please come in!"

The bustling people filed in, and the old monk was caught in the crowd. He glanced at the old man in front of him, and his eyes drooped again.

After entering the gate and bypassing the screen wall, there is an extremely spacious courtyard paved with blue stones.

Directly opposite is a three-foot-high hall with flying eaves and brackets, black tiles and vermilion walls, and huge pillars supporting the top.On both sides are two slightly inferior side halls.The entire courtyard, including the three main halls, was decorated with lights and festoons, making it very lively.

Men, women and children in full attire sat talking and laughing at more than forty tables placed in the center of the courtyard.

Seeing them coming in, an old man wearing a cap, a gorgeous long gown, and holding a wooden staff came over accompanied by a young man.

"Everyone, this is the owner of our Hujiazhuang." Seeing the old man coming, the butler who led the way quickly introduced to everyone, and then turned to his master with a smile: "Master, these are the guests in front of the night. All the orders were brought back by the old slave."

"The housekeeper is working hard!"

After nodding his head as a signal, the old man quickly glanced over the crowd.Although he was very cryptic, the old monk still keenly felt the obvious pause when he saw his master and apprentice.

"My dear guests, I am Hu Shanxiang, the owner of the Hu Family Manor. Today coincides with the marriage of an old man and a daughter, and you all coincide with the meeting, so why don't you stay and have a glass of water and wine? How about sharing the happiness of my Hu family?"

"Old owner, you are very polite. It is really an honor for us to be invited here."

"The old owner doesn't think I'm vulgar."

"The old owner is polite."

After he finished speaking, a series of shouts sounded, and everyone who was confused by the spell had completely lost their vigilance.

"Hehe, since that's the case, please take a seat!" Seeing this, the old staff smiled even more intensely.

And as soon as he finished speaking, beautiful maidservants in long skirts walked over and led everyone to sit down at the empty table next to him.

……

The old monk wanted to follow the crowd and find a corner to sit down. Although he had some vague guesses, he still wanted to see how far this nest of monsters could go.

As a result, just as he moved his feet, he was stopped by a little maid in a red dress.

"Old Zen master Jin An, the owner of my family has always respected Buddhism, and specially reserved a seat for the old Zen master."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the old monk turned his head and looked outside the old man.

After Hu Shanxiang smiled and nodded, he didn't come over, but turned his head and entered the rear side hall.

"Amitabha."

Looking at his back, the old monk smiled faintly, and then said a Buddha's name.

"Old Zen master, please come with this little slave."

"master?"

Seeing this, the little monk Jiufang reacted belatedly, and hurriedly pulled the old monk's cassock.Before, he only looked at the courtyard and the food on the table, but now seeing the difference in the treatment of their master and apprentice, he realized that he had a faint dislike for this place, so he hurriedly warned.

But the old monk ignored it, nodded to the little maid and said, "Please lead the way." After speaking, led by the maid, he came to the central main table in front of the main hall.

And the little monk Jiufang also hurriedly followed.

"Old Zen Master, please sit down!"

"Master, do you want to work here?" Seeing the little maid let his master sit on the side of the main table, Jiu Fang suddenly had a bad feeling, and before the old monk could speak, he exclaimed in a low voice.

"This is what the old owner ordered." Jiu Fang thought his voice was very low, but the little maid was at the side, so how could he not hear it, so he replied immediately.

But the more she said this, the stronger Jiufang's bad premonition became. On the contrary, the old monk looked at his apprentice with a smile, and then sat down.

In the whole table, except for the old monk, the seat on the left was still empty, but at this moment, the old man had already changed into a wedding dress and came here, brought him to the front, nodded and smiled at the old monk, and sat down.

Seeing this, Jiu Fang quickly shrank his head and stood behind his master.

At this moment, as the veterans were seated outside, many servants and maids hurriedly removed the dim sum from the tables of many diners, and quickly replaced it with delicious chicken, duck and fish. The abundance of dishes is simply staggering.

But at the table outside the old monk and the old staff, instead of serving food and wine, several plates of exquisite snacks were served, and then a maid brought a bronzing document on a tray.

Exquisite snacks and bronzing documents look festive and eerie under the light of high-burning red candles.

……

At this time, the commotion in the courtyard has quieted down, replaced by an elegant and festive sound of playing music; and those rude men who were invited now said nothing, did not move their chopsticks, and on the contrary were more disciplined than scholars They all looked in the direction of the main table.

Seeing this, the little monk Jiufang, who was already a little scared, sweated instantly on his forehead, and lightly slapped his master on the back, but the old monk ignored him, and still closed his eyes and turned the prayer beads in his hand to chant sutras silently.

At this moment, it was the old staff who smiled and spoke first:

"Zen Master, what do you think of the old man's property?"

Hearing what he said, Jiu Fang was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect the old man to say that at all, he couldn't help being a little puzzled for a while, but his master opened his eyes, and said slowly: "Your family is rich, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land. One of the few rich men that the poor monk sees."

What the old monk said made Jiufang more curious, and while curious, the bad feeling became stronger.

When the old man heard it, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, then the Zen master can see this house too well."

"This house can be described as extremely gorgeous!"

Seeing the old monk's praise, the old man became more and more happy, and now he leaned forward and continued: "Then how about bringing your little apprentice into my family?"

"what!!!"

The old man's words were as loud as thunder in Jiufang's ears, and he exclaimed immediately without waiting for his master to speak.

"Haha, Zen master, you can see that your apprentice is very happy." Seeing this, the old man smiled again, and then his eyes fell on Jiufang and said with a big air: "Don't worry, little monk, as the old man's pension son-in-law, this Thousands of property are yours."
