This old lady Gui held her right wrist with her hand, obviously after being hit by Yang Xianmao's flying tile just now, it still hurts. He stared at Yang Xianmao and said coldly, "Do you know who I am?"

Of course, Yang Xianmao won't say that he knows, because he hasn't seen it yet, so he will be exposed if he says it. So he shook his head, still holding the big water tank, staring at the other party a little nervously, and said, "Who are you? Why are you blocking my way? ”

"You idiot, why don't you put it on the ground if you're afraid to get rid of it? ”

Yang Xianmao sighed, put the big iron cylinder in his hand on the ground, and said with a sigh of relief: "You can say something about the old man, don't touch the treasure in the iron cylinder, it is afraid of people." ”

Sure enough, while they were talking, the vampire frog in the iron vat had begun to stir restlessly, churning constantly, and the sound of water splashing in the vat came out clearly. So the old lady lowered her voice and said, "Let me tell you, the old man is the owner of this manor and the father of your master, you can just call me the old lady." ”

Yang Xianmao immediately looked sincerely frightened, and hurriedly hugged his fists and bowed to the end and said, "Little one to meet the old lady, please ask the old lady for instructions." ”

"The things in this tank can't be disturbed by human voices, let's go to the pavilion to talk, holding his throat like this, the old man is very uncomfortable. ”

Yang Xianmao sighed, quietly observed the surroundings, and after making sure that there was no one around and it was relatively open, he followed the old lady to the pavilion, from which he could clearly see the situation of the entire passage, and if someone approached him, he could react quickly.

The old lady walked into the pavilion first, and when he came up, he turned to look at him and said, "You are the new steward in charge of raising this thing?"

"Yes, old lady, I just arrived yesterday. ”

The old lady nodded and said, "I heard that you have a lot of strength, I just looked at it, and it is really the case, this treasure will be handed over to you, and we will be relieved." You have to remember that this treasure is my daughter-in-law's life-saving use, you must take care of it, and nothing can go wrong, do you hear?"

Yang Xianmao hurriedly bowed down and agreed: "Don't worry, old lady, I will take care of it carefully." ”

The old lady nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms, handed it to Yang Xianmao and said, "You take this bottle of medicine back, throw one into the pool every day to give them to eat, these treasures will live better, don't worry, this medicine is not poison." ”

After saying that, he handed the medicine to Yang Xianmao, who took the medicine and said with a wry smile: "This...... The housekeeper said that he would only let me feed them chicken blood and duck blood, but he didn't say that he would feed anything else, old lady. ”

"Hmph, do you dare not listen to the old lady's words?"

Yang Xianmao hurriedly bowed down and said: "Don't dare, don't dare, villain don't dare, it's just that the lord and the lady repeatedly told me that these artifacts are very valuable, and I must be cautious and not feed other food indiscriminately." If the old lady insists on feeding this thing, I will go and report it to the lord and the lady first, and if they agree, then the little one will do as you wish, old lady. ”

The old lady snorted, snatched the medicine bottle from Yang Xianmao's hand, put it in his arms and said: "You have to ask them everything, can you be your own master?" Forget it, since you don't want to feed it, I won't force you, I'll go." ”

After that, the old lady turned around and jumped out of the pavilion, went straight to the back of the rockery and disappeared.

Yang Xianmao was a little surprised, this old man looked at least seventy or eighty years old, and he didn't take the main road, but jumped out of the pavilion, bypassed the rockery, and walked some roads without roads.

Yang Xianmao looked at the night where the old lady disappeared a little distracted, the old man mysteriously stopped himself, asked him to feed the two vampire frogs what pills, how could he agree, in case he had poison in it, wouldn't it harm himself? So he also retreated, and offered to report to the old lady, and sure enough, this trick said that the old lady was gone, and obediently took the medicine and left.

If there was no danger in the medicine he was taking, then why didn't he tell his son and daughter-in-law directly and let them feed it directly to the two vampire frogs, which was a very beneficial thing, besides, how could his son and daughter-in-law be so obedient and dare not listen to his command?

Yang Xianmao was a little happy that he had made the right decision on the spot, at least this result would not offend the old lady or cause him any trouble, so it should be a better choice.

Yang Xianmao had just returned to the yard where the big toads were raised with the big iron jar and poured it into the pond again.

The big toad circled a few times in the pool in front of Yang Xianmao, and then came out again, let him touch his head, and then sank to the bottom of the water.

Yang Xianmao returned to his residence, it was already dawn, and Liu Dongyan had already gotten up to prepare washing water and wait for him to come back.

After washing, Yang Xianmao and Liu Dongyan came to the dining hall for breakfast. Hu Laosan, Qian Caiban, Steward Sun and others had already come here first, and after seeing him, they greeted each other and hurriedly sat down and started eating.

While eating, these people were chatting about the two plays last night, and of course the most emotional thing was the second young master's infectious performance, of course, no one mentioned his appearance, and he wouldn't open a pot without mentioning which pot.

They laughed at Hu Laosan's saliva when he watched Liu Ye'er drool last night, this Hu Laosan didn't seem to care about others ridiculing him for coveting Liu Ye'er, but his eyebrows fluttered and he praised Liu Ye'er's delicate voice and soul-hooking figure. While talking, he kept wiping his mouth, as if he was salivating, which made Liu Dongyan on the side frown and was very disgusted.

It's also these people who don't know that Liu Dongyan is dressed as a man, otherwise they wouldn't show this lustful look in front of another woman in front of one woman, that's too embarrassing, a group of men together, it doesn't matter, just which cat doesn't steal fishy, how can he not look at Liu Yeer and admire him, but he is not like a pig like Hu Laosan.

Seeing that they were all laughing at Hu Laosan, Yang Xianmao chatted with Qian Caiban, who was sitting next to him: "Let's return to such a big manor, it must be very troublesome to manage, so many miscellaneous servants, old mothers, maids and servants, but some of you have worked hard." ”

Qian Caiban smiled and said: "That's right, but I don't care about this, I just buy things, but they are really hard, I also work hard, what kind of things that hundreds of people eat and drink in the front yard don't need me to go out to buy back." ”

Yang Xianmao said: "It's really not easy to return home and accumulate this family business, and it must have taken too much hard work to save such a big family business." ”

The purpose of Yang Xianmao's chat with Qian Procurement was to lead the topic to the old lady Gui, and Qian Procurement Office immediately answered: "Yes! Before I came, I heard that Gui was just an ordinary well-off family, and the old lady Gui was especially good at doing business, and when it came to disposing of the land, it snowballed bigger and bigger, and gradually became a rich man in Yinzhou." It's a pity that not long after I came, the old lady Gui began to practice the Dao Fa, and he was obsessed with it, and he no longer cared about business matters. He dug a hole in his house, called Changxian Cave, and hid in the cave to cultivate, and no one was allowed to approach or disturb his cultivation. How about it, you are afraid that you have not seen the old lady when you come here, many people in the village have never seen him, except for some of the older generation, because he almost does not show up, he is hiding in the Changxian Cave to cultivate his method of becoming an immortal, after all these years, I am afraid that he can be feathered and ascended to heaven... bar. ”

Yang Xianmao sighed, and said curiously: "What is the relationship between the old lady and the old man? ”

"Of course, I heard that the old man is very filial to his father and the old lady, and he asks for peace twice every morning and night before going to bed, and when the old lady is sick, he is even more unclothed and waits aside, and when the illness is a little more serious, he asks Lang Zhong to do his best, go everywhere to find famous doctors, and the precious medicinal materials are eaten as food. The old man's original partner heard that he was not virtuous, and he often annoyed the old lady with anger, so the old lady was angry and asked his son to divorce his daughter-in-law. The old man didn't say a word, and he sent the original spouse to his parents' house with a letter of resignation, but this original partner was really a chaste woman, and a daughter did not marry a second husband, so on the way back to her parents' house, she couldn't figure out a rope and hanged herself. Alas, alas, the old man secretly cried when he heard this, but he didn't dare to show it in front of the old lady, because the old lady asked him to divorce his wife, for fear that the old lady would be unhappy when he saw it, and thought that the old man blamed him. Think about it, how filial our lord is. ”

Hearing the two of them talking about the matter between the old lady and the old man, several other stewards also nodded frequently, full of praise, some of them had just arrived, and some of them had been returning home for many years, especially the older ones, and they were even more eloquent, saying how filial the lord was to the old lady, which was more energetic than just talking about the second young master playing Hua Dan, and it seemed that this topic was more interesting to them than the previous one.

Yang Xianmao listened on the sidelines, and muttered in his heart, if this is the case, then it is entirely possible for the old lady to let his son and daughter-in-law destroy or give away the vampire frog they bought with a word, judging from the wealth of the family returning home, this money is lost and he doesn't care. But why did the old lady sneak up on the killing of this vampire frog, instead of directly letting his son kill it directly, was it the obstruction of his daughter-in-law?

Thinking of this, Yang Xianmao immediately asked without a trace: "The original partner was divorced before, and now this lady must be liked by the old lady." Otherwise, it would be inappropriate to find another one to make the old lady sulk. ”

"Of course, I tell you, this lady's filial piety to the old lady is even more admirable than the old man. The old lady once got sick, and invited a lot of Lang Zhong to see it but was not optimistic, and finally a Taoist priest said that this kind of disease should let the filial son and daughter-in-law cut two taels of meat for the old lady to eat, in order to show filial piety, in order to move the heavens and cure the disease. Hearing the old man's words, the lady didn't say a word, but took a knife and cut off a large piece of meat, and ordered the kitchen to stew soup for the old lady to feed. It's really strange that after the old lady ate the broth boiled by his wife's two taels of meat, he immediately got sick. But because of the cut, the lady fainted in pain, and lay on the bed for half a month before getting out of bed. This matter spread all over the city, and some people were ready to report to the court, to ask the wife to set up the chastity archway, but the lady resolutely refused, saying that this is to do what the daughter-in-law should do, it is not worth mentioning at all, and it is worth not going to the court to ask the archway of chastity, so this is the end. Anyway, the official yamen mentioned that most of the daughters-in-law who returned home had to give a thumbs up, saying that this was a very filial daughter-in-law. ”
