You cultivate immortality, I cultivate merit

Chapter 426 Let’s Watch the Fun Together
The New Year in the secular world is always lively and joyous.

Qi Cheng Zhenren liked the excitement and joy, and said to Shi Zelan and Xia Yu: "During the New Year, you should not practice wholeheartedly.

You two should go to Yangzhou Prefecture to enjoy the joy of reunion."

Seeing Shi Zelan's non-objection, Xia Yu said to Master Qicheng, "Uncle, let's go to Yangzhou Prefecture to enjoy the lively atmosphere."

"Okay, but I won't go with you. The two of you will affect my market."

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan looked at each other. Since Master Qicheng was unwilling to travel with them, they could arrange their trip as they pleased.

On this day, Master Qicheng came out of the room in a crimson robe. Xia Yu circled around Master Qicheng twice and said, "Uncle, how many people are you trying to attract?"

Qi Cheng Zhenren looked at Xia Yu with a certain amount of satisfaction: "Yu'er, now you understand why your uncle didn't go to Yangzhou Prefecture with the two of you, right?"

Xia Yu shook her head: “I don’t understand.

Uncle, Lan Jie'er and I will not steal your limelight."

"I'm not worried about you stealing my limelight, I'm just annoyed that you make yourselves too sloppy.

Do you think it is appropriate for a delicate person like me to be with two dusty servants?"

"puff."

Shi Zelan stood aside and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed. She said to Xia Yu, "I think what Master Uncle said makes sense, but it's not suitable for our personalities."

Master Qicheng glanced at Shi Zelan and said, "Sister Lan, I'm leaving now. If you meet me in Yangzhou Prefecture later, don't say hello to me."

Shi Zelan smiled and nodded, watching Master Qicheng walk out of the back mountain with a proud look on his face.

Xia Yu asked Shi Zelan: "Are we still going to Yangzhou Prefecture today?"

"not going.

Let's go to the nearby village to enjoy some of the good cheer."

Xia Yu agreed with Shi Zelan's suggestion, and the two of them turned around and changed into clothes that were slightly festive.

They went to a nearby village, followed relatives who were visiting, sneaked into the village, and watched the villagers perform the ceremony of ancestor worship.

Shi Zelan was curious about San Gouzi's newlywed life, so she took the opportunity to observe San Gouzi's face and saw that he looked full of energy and vigor.

Shi Zelan conveyed to Xia Yu: "I think San Gouzi is living a good life."

"He's been living a good life lately. He married the woman he loved and divided up the family. He thought he was no longer a burden to the two families."

“How silly.

The more brothers you have, the more help you can get.

If he doesn't trust his own brothers, is he going to trust the people in the village?"

"Let's wait and see. His fortune will be good in the next one or two years."

Shi Zelan glanced at San Gouzi's woman and found that she was talking to the woman next to her with a smug look on her face, and the woman was looking at her in a flattering manner.

Xia Yu and Shi Zelan left the village before noon and heard villagers say, "San Gouzi is going to be rich."

"Yes, otherwise the woman would try to escape the marriage on the wedding day and steal someone else's man."

“The woman in front had a good life, and now she is married into a good family.

The couple returned to her parents’ home two days ago and brought a lot of gifts to her parents’ home.”

"Her sister-in-law said that after the New Year, her husband will go to Yangzhou Prefecture to help his brother-in-law with work."

"I won't say anything else. I think she must live a good life so that these two people will be jealous in the future."

"I think San Gouzi will be fine. He has hooked up with a noble man in town, and with his support, his family will have a good life."

"His eldest and second brothers' families were badly hurt by them. They had to rent other people's shabby houses in the middle of winter. His parents stopped being loving elders and just watched their two sons and their families move out and their grandchildren suffer from hunger and cold outside."

"His parents originally favored San Gouzi, thinking that he was the smartest and that his eldest and second brothers were stupid.

His eldest and second brothers are not stupid, they are just too honest. They used to be so nice to San Gouzi.

San Gouzi, this guy has no heart. I told my husband that I can’t be sincere with him.”

After Shi Zelan and Xia Yu left the village, they met a few passers-by.

"Whose relatives are these two? I seem to have met them once or twice."

As they walked forward, they heard the voices of passers-by talking behind them.

Xia Yu said to Shi Zelan with certainty: "We haven't seen them."

Shi Zelan agreed: "Our two faces are too common. Everyone who sees us feels as if they know us."

Xia Yu smiled and said, "This is also the purpose of our surgery on these two faces."

The topic of their conversation turned to other things. After a while, Shi Zelan was still curious about the noble person in Sangouzi Town.

Xia Yu said to her, "The last time I went to town, I heard them talking about a story of friendship between people of different ages.

There was an old man in the town who used to work as a trader.

Now that he is old and can no longer run, he comes back to live a good life with his family.

But the old man can't sit still and often sits in the tea shed to talk about old things with people.

One day when he stood up, he almost fell down, and it was San Gouzi who helped him up, and that’s how the two of them met.”

After hearing what Xia Yu said, Shi Zelan was surprised and asked, "Did the old man just return to live in the town recently?"

Xia Yu shook his head and said, "No, they came back a few years ago, and their family now lives in Yangzhou Prefecture.

Something happened in the town this year, so the family returned to the ancestral home in town and lived there for more than half a year."

“Xia Yu, I think San Gouzi should know the identity of that old man.

A man like him who is a little smart would not lend a hand to others for no reason."

Xia Yu agreed with Shi Zelan's words: "He was also a little lucky. He happened to see the old man standing up a little faster, so he reached out and helped him."

“Yes, with preparation and luck, no wonder I have some good fortune.

It is impossible for the old man not to understand who he is, but why would he pass on his experience to San Gouzi?"

"The old man's son has no talent for business and works as a shopkeeper in Yangzhou Prefecture. His grandchildren seem to be able to study and want to pursue a career in government in the future.

The old man's experience is not very useful to his family, but it is of great help to San Gouzi."

"It's just a piece of cake for the old man. It's a good way to repay the favor."

After Shi Zelan and Xia Yu discussed San Gouzi's luck, they had already walked to the intersection of another village.

At this time, the village was filled with the aroma of food, and Shi Zelan and Xia Yu had no intention of entering the village.

The two of them were walking back, and when they met people in a hurry on the road, they gave way.

"These two look so familiar."

"I thought about it again. Oh, I remembered. They are relatives of the Ma family."

"Hey, I should have said hello to them just now."

Shi Zelan and Xia Yu exchanged glances, and both were thankful for the passerby who had just passed by, who at this moment remembered that they were watching the fun together.
