The sky is cloudy, and the Xuanmiao Temple under the Xuanmiao Mountain outside the city has been filled with incense, and the chanting is endless.

The Taoist temple has been obviously repaired, and there are full of cars and horses parked in front of the door.

At the end of the morning class, the contemplator walked out of the hall, followed by more than a dozen good men and women, respectfully bidding farewell.

"Good people, please come here."

There were already two little Taoist children on the side, while stretching out their hands to lead the way.

"Refreshments are ready."

Everyone laughed and followed the boy to the apse, and on the other side, many men and women who were waiting came forward and saluted the lord one after another.

"Today's refreshments are ready, let's follow me in the order in which they are arranged." Two little boys came to the back of the hall and spoke.

The men and women were overjoyed and got up and followed.

Sun Guan Zhu stood under the corridor and looked at the Taoist temple, the floor tiles were newly paved, the trees were also surrounded by bricks and stones, the dead leaves had fallen, and there were three children who were holding brooms to sprinkle the corners of the corners.

Today's Xuanmiaoguan incense is luxuriant, and there are many people, and it is no longer as deserted as in the past.

Sun Guan shook off the dust, walked out, walked out of the gate, there were already many people on the mountain road, because of the fame of the Xuan Miao Temple, the people who played in the Xuan Miao Mountain also increased, and the people who carried the basket outside the Xuan Miao Temple also increased.

This is a nearby villager, made a cooking cake hot tea soup dried fruit to sell, after all, the dim sum tea of Xuanmiaoguan is not something that anyone wants to eat at any time, and people who are tired of playing will also sell some to relieve fatigue, which gives people in nearby villages more opportunities to make a living.

"Fairy Gu is early."

"Fairy Gu is good."

When they saw the Lord come out, people greeted them respectfully.

This kind of scene is casual and comfortable, and it seems to have existed for a long time. Even the viewer himself couldn't remember about a year ago. Their mystical fairy girls rarely even stepped out of the door. lest you be scolded and thrown stones because of the burden of that little mystical temple on the mountain.

The viewer smiled and returned the salute one by one, and the two children followed him to the mountain, and saw the small view hidden among the rocks and trees in the distance.

"Lookout."

The two fairy girls opened the door and greeted them with a salute.

The viewer looked up at the plaque and stepped inside.

"In the past few days, the lady's house has burned the earth dragon?" She asked.

"It's burning." The fairy girl smiled, "The bedding is smoked every day. ”

The viewer nodded, and just walked into the courtyard. I heard a shout from outside the door.

"Master, Master!"

The five of them looked back and saw a Taoist boy running in panting, still carrying a straw basket.

"Didn't you go into town? Coming back so soon? A fairy girl asked in surprise.

The boy reached out to hold his knees, out of breath.

"Master, Master, you're back," she said.

The five looked at her with a frown.

"No, no, Master, Mrs. Cheng is back." The little boy breathed a sigh of relief, stood up straight, and said happily.

As soon as this statement came out. Except for the two new children, the Guan Zhu and the two fairy girls were all overjoyed.

"Really?" They asked in unison.

"Really. When I heard it when I was buying rice, I went to Cheng's house to inquire, saying that I came back yesterday, and now everyone is talking about it. Xiao Tong said happily, "I didn't even bother to buy rice, so I ran back quickly." ”

What is everyone saying?

The viewer looked a little surprised.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

"Say, say lady, not stupid," said the boy.

The Spectator smiled.

"Does that need to be said?" She said, turning around as she shook off the dust.

Not at all.

The sky was bright, and the silence of Mrs. Cheng's courtyard was broken.

"Mother, mother."

Cheng Liuniang's voice sounded outside the door.

On the couch in the inner room, Mrs. Cheng stretched out her hand to press her forehead and closed her eyes.

"Mother, yesterday that fool looked for you... Hey, Mother, why is your face so ugly? Are you sick? Why haven't you gotten up yet? ”

Cheng Liuniang said, moving a few steps forward and reaching out to probe her mother's forehead.

"Nope." Mrs. Cheng said, pushing her hand away, "I'm tired." ”

The kid had only entered the door yesterday, and she felt too tired.

Second Mrs. Cheng muttered in private, Mrs. Cheng left home again, she almost didn't sleep all night last night.

"Mother, what did that fool say to you yesterday?" Cheng Liuniang asked.

"You're not looking for me, you're looking for your father." Mrs. Cheng said.

Before the words fell, the servant woman came in and said that Mrs. Cheng had brought Cheng Jianniang here.

"Tell them that the old man hasn't come back yet." Mrs. Cheng said.

After a while, Second Mrs. Cheng came in with a smile.

Cheng Liuniang sat up straight, and her eyes fell on Cheng Jianniang behind Mrs. Cheng.

I don't know what good things Lu Dao ate, obviously one or two years older than himself, why do you have to surpass the second lady?

"Sister-in-law, it's not for the master." Second Mrs. Cheng sat down and said, "I want to take Jiao Niang to meet the old lady." ”

Mrs. Cheng sneered in her heart and looked at Mrs. Cheng.

The old lady is my mother-in-law and your mother-in-law, if you want to see it, you will see it, do I still care about you?

But this was only said in her heart, and she knew that once she said this, the second lady Cheng would immediately take this fool to see Mrs. Cheng.

Could it be that Second Mrs. Cheng doesn't know that Old Madam Cheng has reached the point where she can't even listen to this fool? At that time, he will definitely be angry, and when Mrs. Cheng is angry, Mrs. Cheng will definitely be aggrieved and frightened to push herself.

My sister-in-law asked me to come and see her...

She must have said aggrievedly, and then it was conceivable that what was waiting for her must be an angry scolding from Mrs. Cheng.

But if she says she won't let you go, she can say to this fool that you don't want me to go, it's my aunt who won't let you go, and she doesn't like you.

In short, no matter what you say, the best person is her, and the bad person is herself.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Mrs. Cheng with a somewhat complicated expression.

It's really strange, how could she think that this brother-in-law was gentle and amiable before?

"No need to go." Mrs. Cheng said lightly.

Sure enough, Second Mrs. Cheng turned her head to look at Cheng Jianniang.

"Then when it's convenient." She whispered with some comfort.

Cheng Jianniang's expression was waveless and noncommittal.

Mrs. Cheng sneered in her heart, do I still care about the joy and anger of you, a junior? If you're really not stupid. You should know who it is that you should please now.

Who is the family you are going to marry? Who can really help you live well in your husband's house? Stepmother, aunt, and mother are also mothers, and their intimacy is not the same.

"Jiao Niang, don't be sad, the old lady doesn't like to see people every day, wait for your aunt to ask."

Leaving Mrs. Cheng's place, Mrs. Cheng did not forget to continue.

Cheng Jianniang nodded.

"Madame, go ahead of yourself." She said. As his gaze swept around, "I want to walk around by myself." ”

Second Mrs. Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and nodded.

"Although the family is not big, you can take a look, I will accompany you." She laughed.

Cheng Jianniang turned her head to look at her.

"I thought, myself, let's go." She said.

This kind of attitude is really rude, but the strange thing is that Mrs. Cheng did not feel humiliated for a moment, it seems that this woman's attitude is somewhat reasonable, and she does not feel disobedient at all.

"Good. Good. Second Mrs. Cheng nodded and said, "Oh." Call your sister to show you around. ”

Banqin frowned.

"Madame, my lady says herself," she said.

"You just came back and you don't know each other well, let her accompany you, and your sisters are so familiar." Second Mrs. Cheng said with a smile, and without waiting for them to speak, she urged the servant woman to call someone.

What else did Banqin say, Cheng Jianniang shook her head at her, and walked forward first.

Banqin rushed to the second lady Cheng and bowed down to stop talking, and followed.

"Mother, you see that she is really yin and yang." Cheng Liuniang said and sat up close to Mrs. Cheng, "Mother, don't let her live at home, go to the Taoist temple." ”

Mrs. Cheng hummed, stretched out her hand and pinched her forehead without speaking.

"Mother." Cheng Liuniang saw her mother's perfunctory, and shook her sleeves and shouted, "Hurry up and drive her out, otherwise I won't be able to go out to meet people again." ”

"Okay, okay, she's going out, and she won't come back this time." Mrs. Cheng was so noisy that she said helplessly.

"Really?" Cheng Liuniang asked.

"Really, really, you hurry up and go to play, let me rest for a while, mother, I really can't stand it." Mrs. Cheng waved her hand and said.

Cheng Liuniang left satisfied, and it wasn't until the doctor lay down in the room, and the servant woman outside the door shouted again.

"Madame Wang is here."

Mrs. Cheng was taken aback, especially when she looked at Mrs. Wang who came in and the two of them yesterday.

"What's wrong with you? The face is so bad? It's only been a day since yesterday, what's the matter for people to say, why are you here? She asked in a loud voice.

Tingzhou is half a day's walk from here, it was already dark when she went home yesterday, and she came here again at this time, that is, she went out before dawn, no wonder her face was so bad.

"If I don't come again, I won't be able to live." Mrs. Wang waved her hand and said.

Mrs. Cheng was busy getting a black lacquer, and Mrs. Wang took a slight breath.

"What the hell is going on?" Mrs. Cheng asked anxiously.

"Sister, our family was almost scared to death last night." Mrs. Wang said, "Seventeen he... He..."

She said as she raised her handkerchief to wipe away tears.

Mrs. Cheng sat up straight in fright.

"Seventeen, what's wrong with him?" She shouted.

"He almost died." Mrs. Wang said.

"What's wrong? Is it sick? Is it sick? You're tired, right? I said don't let him go to the capital, you don't listen..."Mrs. Cheng suddenly cried, "My son..."

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help crying and hurriedly tried to appease her.

"It's okay, it's okay, fortunately, it's timely." She said.

"Come on, prepare the car, I'll go to the house to see Seventeen" Mrs. Cheng wiped her tears and got up.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop her.

"Sister, sister doesn't need it, you don't have to go to see him, you just need to promise me one thing, and he will be fine at seventeen." She said.

Mrs. Cheng looked at her.

"What's the matter? Say it quickly, don't say one, I'll promise a hundred. She said hurriedly.

Before they could finish speaking, another servant woman ran in from outside the door and interrupted them.

"Ma'am, ma'am, someone to see." She said, looking odd and holding a post in her hand.

"Who?" Mrs. Cheng said angrily, "No." ”

In this Jiangzhou City, she still has the confidence to see who she doesn't see.

"Someone came and said it was the Qin family in the capital." The servant woman said hesitantly, she didn't recognize the words on the post, and she didn't remember the long list of names that came from the newspaper, but she just thought that the capital should be a very powerful person.

The Qin family? I don't recognize it, Mrs. Cheng waved her hand angrily.

"But the Qin family of the princess's mansion?" Madame Wang took her hand, looked at the servant woman and asked.

Princess's Mansion?

The meaning of the word princess, Mrs. Cheng still knows the truth, and she was stunned when she heard it.

"Show it to me." Mrs. Wang stretched out her hand and said.

The servant woman hurriedly picked it up, and Mrs. Wang opened it and looked shocked and incredulous.

"Really?" Mrs. Cheng asked, "Who is that?" You're looking for a master, right? ”

The servant woman's expression was even more strange.

"No, they said they were looking for Cheng Jianniang's parents." She said.

She didn't even react to who Cheng Jianniang was at first, and she was reminded by this servant woman before she suddenly realized.

"Looking for her parents?" Mrs. Cheng asked in surprise, immediately smiled, named Cheng Jianniang, and said that if there is anything else to do with looking for her parents, it is naturally about the little lady's family.

I know that the Tao will come to this hand.

"It was arranged by the people of the Zhou family, right? Let them wait..."Mrs. Cheng snorted.

The servant woman replied and withdrew.

Mrs. Cheng turned her head to look at Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Wang's expression was a little dumbfounded.

"What's wrong?" Mrs. Cheng asked, and then smiled again, "Don't worry, the little shrimp can't make any big waves." ”

Mrs. Wang came back to her senses and smiled a little far-fetched.

"It's still our family's seventeenth thing." Mrs. Cheng continued, "What did you just say you wanted me to promise?" ”

Mrs. Wang looked at her and her expression changed for a moment.

"Promised....this month....I will handle the family affairs of Seventeen and Cheng Jianniang." She said slowly, as if with some difficulty. (To be continued......)
