Chapter 180: Come, Young Taoist Priest! I’ll Toast to You!
He Xiangjiang was a little doubtful.
“Master, since when did you have friends in Yellow Clouds City?”
Zhao Tianqian knocked on the young Taoist priest’s head.
“I have brothers all over the world, can’t I?”
“Hurry up and put on your clothes. I’ll take you out to eat.”
He Xiangjiang, who had been knocked on the head, obediently did as he was told.
After the master and disciple were done packing, they went to the first floor of the inn and waited for Jiang Ping.
Jiang Ping first went to the room of the three little girls.
The three little girls were sleeping soundly.
Jiang Ping’s gaze swept around the room.
Then he found the sleeping incense and extinguished it.
The three little girls sat up in a daze.
When they saw that their father had returned, the three little girls excitedly went forward to hug their father.
“Daddy, why do I feel like I’ve been asleep for a long time?”
“Where did daddy go today? Liu’er misses you so much.”
“Daddy, when are we going to set off on our journey? Wan’er has slept enough and has the strength to walk.”
After Jiang Ping tricked the three little girls, he said.
“We will set off tomorrow. Put on your shoes.”
“Daddy will take you out to eat delicious food.”
The three little girls nodded repeatedly. They put on their shoes obediently without needing Jiang Ping to urge them.
Jiang Ping told the three little girls to wait first while he went to call the others.
After saying that, Jiang Ping went to Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi’s side.
Before Jiang Ping entered the little girls’ room, he went to wake up Li Sushang first.
He asked Li Sushang to take care of the three little girls.
However, before Li Sushang could open the door of the three little girls’ room, they rushed out of the room by themselves as they were having a lot of fun.
Li Sushang patiently told the three little girls to be careful.
Then, she followed the three little girls downstairs.
He Xiangjiang was lying on the empty table on the first floor of the inn.
“Master, who are we waiting for?”
The old Taoist priest said unhappily.
“Waiting for your little lover!”
“Why are you even more impatient than me!”
Before He Xiangjiang could think about what his master said, he heard a clear voice behind him.
“Young Taoist priest!”
He Xiangjiang turned his head to look.
He saw a girl in a red dress with bright little eyes wide open. She looked at him with a surprised expression.
Wan’er was still holding her two younger sisters, and the two sisters were also looking at him like porcelain dolls.
He Xiangjiang was also a little surprised.
“Jiang Wan, why are you here!”
Wan’er saw that the person who turned his head was really the young Taoist priest, so she immediately ran towards He Xiangjiang.
“I didn’t expect to see you here again.”
“You’re lingering everywhere.”
Then, Wan’er gave He Xiangjiang a blow on the head.
He Xiangjiang covered his forehead and asked.
“Why did you hit me again?”
Wan’er giggled.
“Your head feels better than Old Uncle Lei’s head!”
At this time, Jiang Ping came down from the second floor with Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi.
Lei Jingyun heard someone talking about him and shouted.
“Who called me!”
Wan’er raised her head and saw Jiang Ping and the other two come down. She pointed at the young Taoist priest and shouted at Jiang Ping and the others.
“This is the young Taoist priest. My daddy has seen him before. He’s my good friend!”
Jiang Ping waved his hand and said, “I know, I know.”.
Her two younger sisters stood in the same place, puzzled.
When did their eldest sister have a good friend when she had always been with them?
How come they didn’t know!
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Jiang Ping greeted them directly.
“Let’s go. Let’s talk on the way. Senior, we have a carriage. Come with us.”
The carriage wasn’t big, and it was crowded with a pair of master and disciple, Jiang Ping, Li Sushang, and three little girls.
Between Lei Jingyun and Qiu Chi, one of them drove the carriage while the other walked.
Otherwise, if this already crowded carriage was stuffed with more people, it would really become a pyramid.
Wan’er sat next to her two younger sisters and the young Taoist priest.
Beside the young Taoist priest was his master, and Li Sushang sat on the other side of the three little girls.
Jiang Ping was pushed to the outermost side.
The young Taoist priest, who had never sat so close to a girl, was blushing.
It just so happened that Wan’er was a big-hearted person.
She immediately hugged He Xiangjiang’s shoulder and imitated the tone of an adult.
“Young Taoist priest, it’s rare that we’re so fated.”
“We’ll have a good drink at the dinner table later.”
Jiang Ping held his forehead.
Well, how could she be cheated by others? It was clearly his own daughter who was more proactive.
However, Jiang Ping would not fall behind in the etiquette that he should teach.
“Ahem, Wan’er, where did you learn all this nonsense!”
Wan’er laughed.
“I read it in Old Uncle Lei’s novel. He said that I should learn more words, so he gave me two books to study.”
Jiang Ping was helpless. He thought that he must keep a close eye on Lei Jingyun in the future and not let him get close to his daughters.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the gate of the mayor’s mansion.
The guard at the gate of the mayor’s mansion took the reins sensibly and sent someone in to report.
Lu Zhiheng almost jogged all the way here.
Zhou Nan and Wang Xin followed behind him.
Lu Zhiheng cupped his fists and said.
“Old Senior, Brother Jiang, the dishes are all served. We’re waiting for you.”
The old Taoist priest also cupped his fists at Lu Zhiheng.
Jiang Ping also cupped his fists and replied.
“Thank you for your kindness, Mayor.”
Lu Zhiheng said unhappily.
“Don’t call me mayor all the time. It sounds distant.”
Jiang Ping was stunned and asked tentatively.
“Then, Brother Lu?”
Hearing this, Lu Zhiheng smiled happily.
After welcoming everyone into the hall, he didn’t say anything more.
After sitting down, Lu Zhiheng said that they did not need to be so polite and started to eat.
The few young children did not know what greeting was, so they just ate by themselves.
Lu Zhiheng walked down from the main seat and came to Jiang Ping and the old Taoist priest. He picked up his glass and drank it up.
Jiang Ping and the old Taoist priest did not hesitate either. They filled their glasses and drank it up in one go.
Then, they all looked at each other and smiled.
While Wan’er was eating, she saw her father and others calling each other brothers and toasting each other.
She also remembered what she had said in the carriage.
She raised her cup.
She shouted at the young Taoist priest.
“Come, young Taoist priest! I’ll toast to you!”
Everyone was surprised and looked at Wan’er.
Wan’er held the cup in front of her chest and faced He Xiangjiang.
Then, the little girl raised her hand and drank the juice in the cup in one gulp.
The young Taoist priest was a shy person. When he saw everyone looking at him, he could neither move nor stay still.
Wan’er saw that He Xiangjiang had not moved for a long time.
So she asked directly.
“What’s wrong, young Taoist priest! Are you not giving me respect?”
He Xiangjiang was extremely afraid, scared that everyone would laugh at him.
He was even more afraid that the little girl in front of him would beat him up later.
So he could only brace himself, pick up the fruit juice in front of him, and drink it in one gulp.
The few little fellows were drinking fruit juice, but after He Xiangjiang drank his juice, his face actually flushed red.
Those who didn’t know better would think that he had drunk his master’s wine by mistake.
Jiang Ping interrupted and told everyone to continue eating.
Lei Jingyun, who was focused on tasting the wine, suddenly felt a little guilty.
Because when everyone looked at Wan’er, Lei Jingyun sensed that his master was staring at him fiercely…
