The God and Buddha are actually me

Chapter 171 Shen Family Ancestral Hall, fake play becomes real

"Knock, knock, knock!"

Just when Zhang Jiuyang was about to tell Ah Li a few words, the door was suddenly knocked, and Yue Ling's voice rang out.

"Zhang Jiuyang, are you asleep? Grandmother asked you to come over."

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. These days, the Shen family was busy burying Master Zhao and cleaning up the mess of the birthday banquet. Considering that the old lady was in a bad mood, he had not disturbed her.

Now it seems that the old lady has recovered.

It just so happens that he also wants to discuss it with the old lady. It is related to the inheritance of Wang Lingguan's incense, and this matter can't be delayed any longer.

Pushing the door open, in the moonlight, Yue Ling was wearing a red robe, a dragon-sparrow sword hanging from her waist, a high ponytail, sword eyebrows, starry eyes, jade face and thin lips, and she looked like a chic and heroic chivalrous woman.

"Is the old lady in a good mood?"

The two walked side by side.

"Mr. Zhao has been buried. Grandmother has been keeping vigil for him for three days. Now she has recovered."

"We are going to the Shen family's ancestral hall. Grandmother often goes there and stays there for half a day. If she bullies you later, just cough three times and I will rush in immediately."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiuyang was surprised and said, "Aren't you going to see the old lady with me?"

Yue Ling shook her head and said, "Grandmother insisted that I wait outside, saying that she wanted to talk to you alone."

For some reason, Zhang Jiuyang suddenly felt a little nervous and lost his composure just now.

The old lady thought he was her grandson-in-law, but he knew the fact that he was just playing with Yue Ling and she had no intention of getting married.

What would the old lady think of him if she knew?

And in front of the ancestors of the Shen family, he felt a little guilty.

Soon, the Shen family ancestral hall arrived. This is the important place of the Shen family. There are many servants guarding outside. They all seem to have a foundation in martial arts. They are good at martial arts in the world, but they are just ordinary guards here.

The prince stood at the outermost, nodded to Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling, and then stepped aside to invite Zhang Jiuyang in.

Yue Ling also wanted to sneak in, but was stopped by the prince.

Looking at Yue Ling's bright eyes, the prince felt an invisible pressure, and he couldn't help sighing in his heart.

The little girl holding the red tassel spear back then has now been reborn and is no longer the same as before.

It's a pity that the little girl who still called him Grandpa Wang, who was still childish, has now turned her elbow outward for her lover.

The prince showed a helpless smile and said, "Ling'er, don't make it difficult for me. This is Yushuang's request."

Shen Yushuang is the name of the old lady.

Yue Ling could only look at Zhang Jiuyang, looked him up and down, then reached out to help him pat the dust off his collar, and took the opportunity to transmit a message: "If grandma says something... absurd, don't take it seriously."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded, and was about to speak, but heard her say: "Anyway, no matter what weird request it is, you agree first, and then take the opportunity to make your request."

"Grandma seems kind, but she is actually very stubborn. If you make her angry, even if I say good things, it will be useless."

Zhang Jiuyang gave her a reassuring look and transmitted a message: "I understand, don't worry, I have experience with the elderly."

He grew up with his grandfather in his previous life, so he naturally knew how to communicate with the elderly.

The older people get, the more stubborn they are. They are soft-hearted and not hard-hearted. You have to go along with them and overcome hardness with softness.

Yue Ling wanted to tell her something else, but heard the prince cough.

"Ling'er, that's enough."

The prince said helplessly: "It's not a life-and-death separation. Yu Shuang just called your little lover over to give him some instructions. It's not that serious."

Is this voice transmission endless?

He is old, but not blind. Although the two of you are silent, your lips are constantly opening and closing. Even a fool can know that you are transmitting voice.

"What lover..."

Yue Ling glared at him and said: "Grandpa Wang, if you keep talking nonsense, be careful that I will find you to spar!"

The prince shrank his neck and sighed: "Girls are really out of control when they grow up!"

Zhang Jiuyang shook his head and smiled, then patted Yue Ling's shoulder and walked towards the ancestral hall.

Through the door, you can see that the lights are on inside.

Zhang Jiuyang knocked on the door and pushed the door open after hearing the old lady say please come in.

What he saw was an empty house filled with spirit tablets and candles. On the walls around were murals and texts, which seemed to record the achievements of the ancestors of the Shen family.

The Shen family in Yangzhou has been passed down for hundreds of years. Its ancestor can be traced back to the previous dynasty, Da Jing, who is said to have served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

For hundreds of years, the Shen family has had outstanding people from time to time, and the inheritance has never been broken, but they no longer serve as officials and have switched to business.

The long-term offerings make this ancestral hall look a little unusual. Zhang Jiuyang just stepped into it and felt some invisible pressure.

It seemed that a pair of eyes slowly opened and stared at him quietly in the dark.

"Old lady."

Zhang Jiuyang saluted.

The old lady knelt on the futon, holding a string of rosary beads. When she heard the words, she opened her eyes and looked at Zhang Jiuyang with a kind smile.

"Child, help me up."

Zhang Jiuyang hurriedly supported her.

The old lady leaned on a cane, stood firm and smiled: "Go and kowtow to my ancestors of the Shen family."

After all, he had to ask for help, and he had to act with Yue Ling, so Zhang Jiuyang knelt on the futon and prepared to kowtow.

However, the next moment, the candlelight in the ancestral hall began to flicker and flicker.

When Zhang Jiuyang's waist began to bend, even the spirit tablets could not sit still, making a tatting sound and shaking continuously.

When he saw this movement, he subconsciously stopped.

The next moment, everything returned to calm.

The old lady frowned slightly, holding the rosary, and said in surprise: "Strange, why don't my Shen family ancestors want to be worshipped by you?"

Zhang Jiuyang was shocked. It's not good. The old lady will not have a bad impression of him because of this, and will break up the couple?

Although it was an act, without the help of the Shen family, the speed of collecting incense would certainly not reach the expected goal.

Sure enough, the old lady paced back and forth, then looked at him and handed him a red box from her arms.

"Child, open it and take a look."

Zhang Jiuyang opened the box and found that there were actually several deeds inside.

"Wanfu Theater, Shen's Tea House, Ganquan Mountain..."

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly felt heavy in his hands. Wanfu Theater is the largest theater in Yangzhou. Every time it performs operas, the streets are empty and there are many famous actors.

Shen's Tea House is even more open in the streets and alleys of Yangzhou. As for the last deed, it is actually a whole mountain, named Ganquan Mountain. It is said that there is a jade spring on the mountain. The spring water is clear and sweet, and it is the best water.

"As long as you promise one thing, these will all be yours."

The old lady's words made Zhang Jiuyang's heart sink. Good guy, did he encounter the legendary dog-blood plot?

"Old lady, I will not abandon Yue Ling. Please take back these deeds. I don't need them."

Zhang Jiuyang made a choice even though his heart was bleeding.

The old lady was stunned when she heard the words, and then laughed. Her silver hair fluttered slightly in the candlelight. Although it was like frost and snow, it looked translucent and not dry.

"Do you think I want you to leave Ling'er?"

The old lady looked at him with admiration in her eyes.

"Isn't it?"

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned for a moment.

"Haha, silly child, Ling'er finally found a man. If I break up the couple, do you want my Shen family to be extinct?"

She shook her head and said, "What I want you to agree to is very simple, just four words."

"Which four words?"

She patted Zhang Jiuyang's hand and smiled, "Fake play becomes real."

Boom!

Zhang Jiuyang was shocked and showed a look of surprise, but on the surface he remained calm and said, "Old lady, I don't understand what you are talking about."

The old lady's eyes were deep, as if she could see through people's hearts.

"My own granddaughter knows it herself. With Ling'er's personality, even if she really likes someone, she will never be so eager to show it in front of me. She has too much control over the timing."

"So you know everything."

Zhang Jiuyang smiled bitterly, and at the same time secretly admired Old Lady Shen in his heart.

The old lady is really experienced. No wonder Mrs. Shen can become a wealthy person. Her eyes are really sharp.

"Although you are acting, as the saying goes, fake becomes real."

The old lady looked like an experienced person and smiled, "I have never seen Ling'er willing to act this play with other men. At least, she is not disgusted with you, and even has a good impression of you."

"In this case, let's make it a done deal and make the fake play real!"

"But you don't know me, and just now, the ancestors of the Shen family didn't want me to bow down..."

"Haha, the affairs of the living are naturally decided by the living."

The old lady's eyes were burning, and she said confidently, "I am a businessman. The most important thing for a businessman is to see the opportunity first and bet first. Compared with ghosts and gods, I believe in my own eyes more."

She looked up and down at Zhang Jiuyang, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she was.

"I originally wanted to ask Lao Zhao to find out about your background, but I didn't expect that you would take the initiative to attend my birthday banquet. During the banquet, I was observing you all the time."

"You dared to come to the banquet with a few pieces of Dingsheng cakes, which shows that you are bold and careful, and you have done enough homework."

"The young man is in a high position, under the watchful eyes of the public, but he can remain calm, which shows his determination."

"Facing the young master of Wanfu Tower, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and a flute music resolved the difficulties. When Yama sent the coffin, only you noticed something was wrong, which shows your wit."

"In the end, facing these priceless deeds, he was able to stay with Ling'er, which shows his sincerity."

"How can a golden scale stay in a pond? It will turn into a dragon when it encounters wind and clouds. Such an outstanding grandson-in-law, what else can I be dissatisfied with?"

Zhang Jiuyang was a little embarrassed by her praise.

However, he still sighed and said, "Madam, I still can't agree."

"Why?"

"The same thing, I don't want to deceive Yue Ling."

He and Yue Ling are friends who have been through thick and thin, and have lived and died together. There is a deep friendship between the two, and Yue Ling is his only online.

He doesn't want to feel guilty.

It's not pedantic, but there are things to do and things not to do.

The old lady shook her head and smiled, saying, "Child, I suddenly understand why Ling'er, who has always been arrogant, treats you differently."

After a pause, she said, "Then change the conditions. As long as you agree, not only these land deeds, but also the thing you asked me to do is not a problem."

"What conditions?"

"If you really get married in the future, I hope..."

"Have more children."
