Chapter 548 [Old 9 Gate 27]
The car soon arrived at the gate of Zhang's house. After Zhang Qishan got out of the car, he carefully carried Youyou out of the car and walked quickly into the house. At this moment, everyone from the nine gates had gathered together and were enjoying a sumptuous banquet.
"The Buddha really dotes on his wife. Look how steadily he walks while holding her!" A teasing voice came from the crowd.
Hearing this, everyone echoed it, and laughter and discussions broke out one after another.
However, at this moment, Huo Jinxi suddenly spoke up: "If the Buddha doesn't love his wife, then Youyou wouldn't choose to marry him."
"Sanniang, don't say that. If you're looking for a wife now, you should look for someone who is gentle, virtuous, and able to take care of the family." Another person retorted.
"Yeah, so what if you're pretty? The key still lies in your inner qualities," someone else added.
Huo Jinxi frowned in dissatisfaction after hearing these words: "What era is it now? Why do you still have such old ideas? What matters now is the equality of men and women. Love should be based on mutual consent."
"Sanniang, it's easy for you to say that, but in fact, men are the backbone of the family, and women can only rely on men to support themselves." The man who spoke just now continued.
"Hmph, you male chauvinists don't understand the value of women at all. In today's society, women can also be independent and pursue their own careers and dreams." Huo Jinxi hit back bluntly.
"Okay, okay, let's not argue about this topic anymore. Today is the Buddha's big day. Let's raise our glasses together and wish them a happy marriage and a long and happy life!" someone suggested.
Everyone responded, raised their glasses and celebrated the wedding of Zhang Qishan and Youyou.
Zhang Qishan gently escorted Youyou into the room and said softly, "Madam, you should have a good rest first. I will ask the servants to bring you some food. I am going to entertain the visiting guests now."
Youyou smiled and responded, "Okay, then you go and get busy first, my husband."
"Then madam, wait for me to come back." Zhang Qishan whispered in Youyou's ear. Youyou's cheeks flushed instantly, but fortunately, the red veil covered her face, so no one could notice her shyness.
Then, Zhang Qishan turned and left the room. When Youyou heard the door close gently, she couldn't wait to lift up her red veil and began to look around curiously. She was very satisfied with the layout of the room, and every detail met her preferences and tastes.
Not long after, there was a gentle knock on the door. Youyou asked softly, "Who is it?"
"Madam, I am Chunxi, and I am here to bring you some food on the orders of the Buddha." Chunxi answered respectfully.
"Oh, it's Chunxi. Come in then." Youyou smiled and nodded.
Chunxi gently pushed open the door and walked in, holding an exquisite tray filled with fragrant food. She carefully placed the tray on the table, then smiled and said to Youyou, "Madam, these meals were specially prepared by the Buddha. You have been hungry for so long, you can eat some food to fill your stomach first."
Youyou looked at Chunxi's gentle smile, and a feeling of warmth and touching surged in her heart. She said gratefully, "Thank you, Chunxi."
Chunxi waved her hands repeatedly and responded softly: "Madam, you are too polite. This is all my job. If you have any other needs, please feel free to tell me and I will do my best to meet them." After she finished speaking, she stood obediently to one side, waiting for Youyou's next instructions.
"Nothing, I'm just a little curious. How long have you been in Zhang's house?" Youyou asked softly with a curious look on her face.
"About five years." Chunxi answered truthfully.
"It has been so long... I guess you should know something about what's going on in the Buddha's mansion? Can you tell me about it?" Youyou continued to ask.
"Madam, to be honest, we don't know about this. The Buddha has always disliked talking about trivial matters at home, and when he recruited us into the mansion, he made it clear that the only requirement was not to discuss the affairs of the master's family. Therefore, we all know nothing about his family affairs, and we just need to concentrate on doing our own part." Chunxi told the truth.
