Chapter 413: Father Ma’s shrewdness and the gratitude of the head of the Zhu family (3/5, please subscribe)

When he arrived at the living room, Ma's father saw someone from the Zhu family, an old man who looked like a butler.

Seeing Ma's father coming, the old man hurriedly bent his body again and again with a respectful look.

"Are you from the Zhu family?" asked Ma's father.

"In reply to Master Ma, I am the steward of the Zhu Mansion and have come here on behalf of the master to deliver the visiting card." The steward responded quickly.

Father Ma took the invitation and took a closer look. He understood: "You really want to get married."

Looking at the housekeeper, he asked, "I heard that the daughter of the Zhu family once studied in a private school and lived with men. Is this true?"

"Master Ma, please don't talk nonsense. This will damage the reputation of our young lady. She is still waiting to be married and has never been out." The housekeeper said angrily, "Who is ruining the reputation of our young lady? It's really abominable!"

"Alright, alright." Father Ma waved his hand. "I just heard someone say this on the street, so I just asked. Since there is no problem with the daughter of the Zhu family, please ask the head of the Zhu family to come and discuss the marriage in three days."

"Yes, Master Ma."

Zhu's housekeeper left the Ma family with different feelings.

After the people from the Zhu family left, Ma's father clapped his hands, and the next moment, an old man who looked like a manager entered the living room.

"Old Xu, the Zhu family wants to marry into our Ma family. Go investigate the Zhu family. This matter is very important and we can't be careless." Father Ma said seriously, "If there is any mistake, you know the consequences!"

"Don't worry, Master. I have been working for the Ma family for more than 30 years. When have I ever been on a mission?"

"This matter is different. You must be a hundred or a thousand times more careful than usual." Ma's father emphasized seriously.

There are many things to pay attention to when giving gifts and doing favors.

If the other person's reputation is damaged, or he has other problems, sending him away is not a favor but an offense.

As the head of the Ma family, Mr. Ma has done a lot of gift-giving and has a lot of experience.

"Yes, sir."

Two days later.

Butler Xu came back with a happy look on his face.

"Master, I have asked various people to inquire, and the young lady of the Zhu family has never left the house, and there has never been any bad rumors about her."

"What about good looks and character?" Father Ma felt relieved and asked again.

Housekeeper Xu praised: "Master, the Zhu family is very strict in family management, and their daughter is well educated, so there is no problem. As for her appearance, I also paid a lot of money to ask the maid of the Zhu family about it. It turns out that she is really good-looking. This is also the reason why the Zhu family is confident that she can marry into our Ma family."

"Good." Father Ma clapped his hands in approval, "Go down and claim your reward."

(aiaa) "Yes."

The next day.

The head of the Zhu family came to visit in great joy, and when he saw Ma's father, he was full of flattery.

Although the Zhu family is also a wealthy family, they are far inferior to the Ma family in terms of power.

This marriage was the Zhu family marrying into the Ma family, so he naturally had to be careful.

The two of them sat down in the living room.

Father Ma waved his hand and sent the servant away.

"I already know what Patriarch Zhu wants." Father Ma smiled, "However, I have another suggestion for this matter. I wonder if Patriarch Zhu is willing to listen?"

"I wonder what suggestions Master Ma has?"

The expression of the head of the Zhu family froze. He had thought that the matter was a sure thing, but unexpectedly something unexpected happened. He secretly wondered what went wrong.

"The young lady of the Zhu family is a natural beauty and is quite popular with a Taoist master. I wonder if we can present her to that Taoist master?"

When the head of the Zhu family heard this, he became furious.

I married you just to cling to power.

You, the Ma family, are so good that you directly gave my daughter to a Taoist priest. What is your intention?

In this case, wouldn't it be impossible to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy, and would it be a waste of a daughter?

"Master Ma, you are overstating the matter!"

Father Ma laughed loudly: "It's not surprising that Master Zhu has such an idea. Come, look at this!"

As he spoke, he placed a piece of silk in front of the head of the Zhu family.

"Recite with your heart, and there will be a mysterious effect."

"Great Light Mantra?" When the head of the Zhu family saw it, he was speechless.

I didn't expect that the head of the Ma family also likes to talk about metaphysics and philosophy.

This is the result of chanting sutras that makes people stupid!

How could a smart person believe such a thing?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he could not resist the burning gaze of Father Ma and could only recite.

After all, the situation is stronger than people. If you go along with the head of the Ma family first and then talk about the marriage, there will naturally be a chance.

If they turn against each other directly, it will be difficult for both families to end up like this.

No - the Zhu family is likely to suffer heavy losses.

As the chanting began, the head of the Zhu family felt a little ashamed at first, but gradually, he felt his mind calm down and a warm current flowed through his body, making him feel comfortable all over, as if he had returned to his youth.

Even more shocking was that he felt his body was glowing.

After reading it once, Zhu's father felt that his body had become several times stronger and he had endless energy. Even the wrinkled skin on the back of his hands became smoother.

"This……"

Father Ma smiled and said, "How is it? Is this Taoist still pleasing to your eyes?"

"Could there be a real immortal here?" The head of the Zhu family said in a trembling voice, "I originally thought that the Taoists in the world were just people who were deliberately mysterious, but I didn't expect that they really had magical powers. It's too late to regret. If I had known earlier, I should have gone to seek immortals and visit Taoists earlier."

"Come on, come on." Father Ma laughed, "This is not something from our world. It was created by a Taoist master from another world. Even if Master Zhu had visited the Tao when he was young, he would not have been able to obtain the true method of the immortal way."

"Before, when Patriarch Ma said he wanted to offer his daughter to the Dao Lord, was he referring to the Dao Lord who created the true law?" Patriarch Zhu began to breathe rapidly. "Do you really mean that?"

"Of course I take it seriously!" Father Ma said solemnly, "However, I have learned a little about your family's situation, but it is not complete. You know your daughter's situation best. If you want to offer her to the immortals in the upper realm, can your daughter remain a virgin? Does she have someone in her heart?"

"Since Master Ma has already investigated this matter, you should know that my daughter has never met any other man before she is married." Master Zhu's face was serious. "I can guarantee this."

"Very good!" Father Ma nodded, and then he told Zhang Taixuan's situation. "It is not wrong for your daughter to be sent over. Not only will she be immortal and become an immortal, but your Zhu family will also prosper and enjoy endless benefits. You can take this magic spell back home and talk to your wife and daughter. If it works, how can there be few benefits?"

"Thank you, Master Ma. If this can be accomplished, I wish my family will always be grateful."

After saying that, he said goodbye in a hurry and left.

Ma Wencai came out from behind the screen and looked at his father with admiration.

"Father is really smart. He not only gave his daughter away, but also made people grateful."

"You learned it?"

"learned!"

Blessings to the family.

The servants were busy when they saw their master coming back in high spirits, with bigger and faster steps than usual.

"Even if it works, Master doesn't have to be so happy, right?"

The servants murmured in their hearts, but their hands did not stop moving, and even their expressions did not change at all.

This is something they have learned from working as servants for so many years.

If you are in a high position, you should not show your emotions.

Being a servant is naturally not easy.

If there is any mistake, the owner will bear a grudge against you and your life will be in danger.

Servants in this era don't have many human rights. They don't have to take any responsibility if they are beaten to death. They can just be thrown into a mass grave and that's it.

Therefore, the servants developed their skills in this cruel environment.

"Ma'am, this is a great event."

When I came to the living room, I saw my wife making tea, and the head of the Zhu family shouted loudly.

"Keep your voice down and be mindful of your words and actions. Our Zhu family is a big family, so we need to pay attention to etiquette and not make too much noise." Mrs. Zhu was speechless and rolled her eyes at her husband.

"Goooooooooo."

Patriarch Zhu sat down and drank a sip of tea. "Madam, this is a great event. This matter is beyond your imagination."

"The Ma family agreed?" Madam Zhu was a little indifferent. "Even if the Ma family is very powerful, there is no need for us to be so happy, right?"

"It's not the Ma family!" Patriarch Zhu shook his head, "It's someone else."

"Another person?" Madam Zhu's face changed. "I tell you, it's good for my daughter to marry into the Ma family. At least they are a good match. If it's someone else, I won't agree!"

"No, ma'am, take a look at this first!"

After saying this, he took out the magic spell hidden in his sleeve and handed it to the lady.

"Read it once, and we'll talk about other things."

Mrs. Zhu was puzzled. How could her husband, who was such a smart man, become so weird after going out?

Is there something wrong with the Ma family?

Facing the expectant gaze of the head of the Zhu family, Mrs. Zhu sighed and began to recite.

As the chanting began, Madam Zhu's body began to glow...

moment.

"This... this is a miracle." Madam Zhu was shocked. "My husband, you actually got such a magical item?!"

The head of the Zhu family quickly explained the whole process.

Madam Zhu was very excited when she heard this and said, "So, my daughter is not going to marry into the Ma family, but will be sent to an immortal?"

"Yes. Madam, what do you think?"

"I think it's great." Madam Zhu was delighted. "If this is accomplished, not only will our daughter have a good place to live, but our family will also prosper. This is much better than marrying into a powerful family."

"I think so too. Madam, you can talk to my daughter." The head of the Zhu family nodded, "This matter is very important. My daughter should not be reluctant. Otherwise, when she arrives in front of the immortal, she will offend him."

"Don't worry, my daughter is very sensible." Madam Zhu said with a smile, "I'll take care of it."

In the attic.

Zhu Yingtai got up in the morning and washed up, with a pretty maid standing behind her combing her hair.

"The young lady is so pretty. I wonder which husband is so lucky to have her." The maid sighed.

Hearing this, Zhu Yingtai sighed and said, "Being pretty is not a blessing! You won't understand as you are in the Zhu family and have no control over your own affairs."

The maid was speechless.

Naturally, she wouldn't understand such things.

Born in an ordinary family, she was sold to the Zhu family when she was young just to have a full meal.

But her parents and brother were not so lucky. They died in the drought three years ago. No one even buried their bodies, and no one knew where their bodies were carried away by wild dogs.

She initially hated her parents.

After a long time, I don’t hate it as much anymore, and I even start to miss it.

Times are tough for everyone, and selling children has become the norm.

If they could sell themselves, even their parents would have sold themselves to be servants in wealthy families, so that they could at least have two meals a day.

Unfortunately, in this era, you can’t become a servant just because you want to, and ordinary people don’t even need to think about it.

The world is difficult, and it is difficult to be a common people!

Xiaozhu thought about what happened the night before her parents sold her, and felt sad.

"Old man, have you found out?"

"I've inquired a lot. The Zhu family is quite kind and the servants live well. Alas, it's just a pity for the girl. She has to serve others at such a young age."
