"Be careful, miss...... Alas, miss, no, you can't go there, it's too dangerous......"

"Sister Xie, you better come down, it's amazing that Madam saw it......"

Huai'an Hou Mansion, Yufu Garden, a group of little girls are circling around an old elm tree, and the one who is digging a bird's nest on the tree is their young lady, Xi Yunting. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info this young lady is wearing a beige juansaro skirt at the moment, the cuffs that should be flowing and flying are tied tightly with a very discordant red cloth strip, the wide skirt is still swaying in the wind, and the petite body that looks petite is also shaking. The girls on the ground were startled one by one as the young lady's body swayed, but this one was twisting her eyebrows, staring at the almond eyes, staring at the bird's nest that had been touched by her...... I saw that I was about to get it, but I didn't pull it down in a flash. Before the screams of the girls under the tree stopped, Xi Yunting shouted, "Are you guys looking for a fight?" It's easy to look forward to Xi Cui's going out today that Miss Ben has a chance to succeed, and you are so shocked that you smashed the eggs in the nest to see me clean you up! ”

The underground finally quieted, and Xi Yunting reached the target again with satisfaction...... "That's right, Miss Ben has always been good at talking, as long as you keep your mouth shut today, let me touch those few eggs, and I will have your reward......" Just when her hand reached the bird's nest again, a gust of wind blew through her ears, and the familiar sandalwood fragrance came into her nose, and then a pair of big hands crossed her waist, and the eldest lady was brought back to the tree by a mysterious body, and once again missed the bird's nest in her heart.

Xi Yunjian put his sister steady, turning a blind eye to her dissatisfaction, and his cold eyes swept over the people on the ground, "Don't Tang Tanghou Mansion even have rules?" Miss is going to mess around, you are actually watching? What about Xi Cui? ”

"Master Yu, Sister Xi Cui is resting today as usual, and I told Sister Ximei to go home early in the morning." A slightly older girl whispered back, but she still didn't dare to raise her head.

Xi Yunjian just hummed, and it took a long time to get up, "It's lunch time, wash up Miss, I'll come over and take Miss to the main courtyard for dinner later!" Today's event is the last time, and you'd better remember it! ”

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison, and hurriedly pulled Xi Yunting, who was pouting and grumpy, to wash her hands and comb her hair.

Xi Yunting, the eldest lady, is actually very good at serving, she looks like a flower, and her temperament is easy-going, the only fly in the ointment is that she is stupid by nature, and now she is fifteen years old, but her words and deeds are no different from that of a seven or eight-year-old child. The loss is that he was born in the meritorious Huai'an Houfu. Speaking of this, Huai'an Hou can be regarded as the founding hero of the Great Xia Kingdom, which has just been established for less than ten years. At that time, he followed the current emperor to fight in the south and the north, and won the trust of the emperor with his supreme military exploits with a spear. Originally, the emperor wanted to give his own sister to this one, thinking of giving a title with a foreign surname to the king, and then marrying the princess, in the eyes of the world, this brother who was born and died with him is no different from the real prince. didn't want to be rejected on the spot, and would rather cut officials for the people than give up the chaff wife. The emperor was deeply moved and no longer insisted, and the marquis finally listened to his wife's persuasion and only accepted the title of Marquis of Huai'an.

The society was initially decided, the overall situation was unstable, and Hou Ye's military power was never able to be put down. Looking at the emperor's meaning, he did not intend to take back this military power when he was in power, and this kind of favor to others may be the emperor's grace, but it is meaningless to Huai'anhou. It's just that he and Mrs. Hou have been together for half their lives, but they only have a daughter like Xi Yunting, and they are still an idiot. And although the aforementioned Xi Yunjian bears the name of the eldest young master, everyone in the world knows that he is just an orphan picked up by Hou Ye during the war. This child is well-behaved and sensible, coupled with intelligence and diligence, and now he is twenty years old, but he is also Wen Taowu and is very proficient, so he is deeply loved by Mrs. Hou, and he has been staying as an adopted son. Hou Ye didn't think about giving the title to Xi Yunjian, but Xi Yunjian had lofty ambitions, and bluntly said that the nurturing feelings were already Entong and recreated, and he didn't dare to rely on Hou Ye to enjoy the glory anymore.

Therefore, although it is a hereditary title, it will be the generation of the marquis.

Speaking of which, Hou Ye always loves his stupid daughter in every way, and he doesn't think it's too much. It is precisely because of this that Xi Yunting's lawless temperament has been cultivated, and looking at the entire Hou Mansion, the words of Mrs. Hou and Xi Cui can make this young lady listen to it.

Xi Cui is just the eldest girl next to Xi Yunting, and she is serving in Yufu Garden with Ximei, Ximei is the housekeeper's daughter, and she can be regarded as a child of the family, and the treatment is naturally higher. But Xi Cui signed a six-year living contract, and he could send it out as soon as the time came. Hit the age of eight and entered the house now just five years old, Xi Cui at this moment is happily walking on the noisy street, thinking about Qi Yu, who has made a family relationship with him since he was a child, and there is still a year to redeem himself, Qi Yu said that he is already sixteen years old and has reached the age when he should get married, and he will marry her when he takes her to redeem himself. Since then, stay away from the intrigue in the courtyard of the deep house, no longer need to call yourself a slave, no need to look at people's faces, you can raise your head and be a righteous person!

Although she is somewhat reluctant to leave the young lady who has been with her for five years, no matter how she is, a slave can't protect her for the rest of her life, after all, she still has her own life to live.

Mrs. since a year ago Miss and Lu have begun to see relatives for Miss Miss, it is said that it has been set, only set an auspicious day to pass the door, so that she can find an opportunity to talk to Mrs. about redemption after Miss gets married, Mrs. has treated herself very differently over the years, although she is just a maid but she can also read and write with Miss, and even the etiquette of dealing with people Mrs. asked her to learn with Miss. Even a child like Ximei was not treated well by her. At the beginning of the year, the meeting simply changed its name, and the original big girl in their Fuyuan was lined up with the word Xicui, and now she is called Xicui, and now she is called Xi Cui. Even the old lady in the house said that the lady treated her like a master and a slave.

But because of this, Xi Cui knows that Mrs. is good to herself, and she treats Miss more attentively than others, stupid people can see people's hearts the most, and she knows that Xi Cui treats her the best by looking at Xi Yunting's dependence on Xi Cui.

Thinking about walking, I didn't realize that I had arrived at the place where I had made an appointment with Qi Yu, and I didn't see the expected figure left and right, so I simply looked at the bead flowers sold on the side of the road. Over the years, although there are a lot of calendars in the Hou Mansion, most of them are used to supplement her family, and she has saved them up for redemption when she left them for herself, and she really hasn't prepared them for herself with gadgets like beads. Girls love these a lot, and Xi Cui is naturally no exception.

Suddenly, there was a sound of horses' hooves, "Get out of the way, the horses are startled!" Someone in the crowd shouted, the man on horseback hunched over and stretched out his hand to cover the horse's eyes, Xi Cui hurriedly raised his body to dodge, only to see the snow-white brocade robe on the fiery red horse fluttering in the wind, like the white lotus blooming in the fire. But he saw that the direction in which the horse was stepping was not far from him, and an old monk in gray led a seven or eight-year-old child with his back to him walking leisurely. "Get out of the way, get out of the way......" The voice on horseback shouted eagerly, but the old monk seemed to be deaf.

At this moment, Xi Cui's position was just on the side of the road between the frightened horse and the old monk, seeing that the horse was about to cross himself and step towards the old monk, I saw Xi Cui suddenly stride forward and reach out to grab the old monk's wide sleeves and throw it to the side of the road, she seemed to have exhausted all her strength, but she didn't want the old monk to be as light as a swallow in her hands, with the exclamations of everyone, a big change occurred, the old monk stood firmly on the side of the road, and Xi Cui sent himself under the horse.

Looking at the iron horse palm that was getting bigger and bigger in front of him, Xi Cui instinctively hugged his head, closed his eyes, and his legs trembled and softened, is this going to die? I really want to see Qi Yu again, and then take a look at my father and mother, my younger siblings are still ignorant...... "Xiaocui!" Qi Yu's exclamation came into his ears, and Xi Cui's heart suddenly chuckled, it's so good, you can still hear Qi Yu's voice......

After a long time, the legendary pain did not appear, Xi Cui slowly opened his eyes, but saw that Qi Yu had run three steps away from him, and saw that she opened her eyes and slowed down while relieving, but the anger on her face did not decrease by half a point. Xi Cui looked at the pale of his handsome face slowly fading, knowing that he was worried about himself, smiled and stretched out his hand to him, but saw a very beautiful hand with clear bones and slender five fingers slowly holding it, this hand was very warm, and this warmth made the cold dark green wrench on his thumb more prominent, hot and cold, Xi Cui quickly came back to his senses. Withdrawing his hand, dragging the ground and slowly getting up, Qi Yu had already come over, standing beside Xi Cui, holding her shoulder, Xi Cui looked up and saw the man in front of him, with sword eyebrows and sideburns, eyes like cold stars, resolute and handsome, brocade white robe, jade belt wrapped around the waist, slender figure like a jade tree in the wind. At that time, Xi Cui thought that Xi Yunjian was already an extremely handsome man, but now that Xi Yunjian was standing here, he could only be covered up alive.

The old monk on the side of the "Amitabha Buddha ......" finally came over, only to see his kind eyebrows and smiling eyes, but his eyes never left Xi Cui for a moment, "The girl will save the old man's life, and the old man should return this kindness." Can the girl take a step to speak? As he spoke, he grabbed Xi Cui's wrist, and Xi Cui was pulled aside before he could say no.

"How can you, an old monk, be so unreasonable, I would not sacrifice my life to save you two because of such a girl." Xi Cui was dragged by him, and he was already angry in his heart.

"Two? Why did the girl say this? The old monk let go of her.

"You old monk, isn't the child who held your hand with you?" Xi Cui looked at him, and then realized why the child was gone, could it be lost? "Why don't you hurry up and find it? Fang is so flustered, what if the child is lost? ”

"No wonder......" The old monk suddenly laughed, and took Xi Cui's hand again, "Well, maybe it should be like this." Girl, listen to the old man's words, whether it is a slave or a master, it depends on the heart. What the girl has planned will fail, and you will still have to be a slave in three years, knowing that this is the fruit of your past life, and it will be the cause of this life. The girl's life has changed because of these three years, eight years as a slave and half a life master, the girl will be rich and healthy in this life, and the people who the girl protects in her life are also rich and healthy because of the girl. His last sentence seemed to want everyone to know, and although his voice was not high-pitched, it seemed to use internal force to penetrate everyone's ears.

Xi Cui thought that the old monk must be talking nonsense, and it was only right to leave quickly. So he lowered his head, covered his face and tried to escape, but hit a hard wall of flesh, "Are you really so flustered?" In front of me was the stunning white robe, and the voice in my ears was as good as heaven, but the words I heard were not very good. Xi Cui knew that this person was not easy to mess with, so he could only bend down and salute and get out quickly.

"The prince of Liwang? The debt that Huineng owed to Lingtang back then has already been repaid, and as for whether you can grasp it, it can only depend on fate, Amitabha. "Huineng? Is this old monk Huineng? Xi Cui's heart was shocked again, it is said that this wisdom can know astronomy and geography, and can judge people's past and present lives. Madame had only seen this person ten years ago, and she had received a few words of criticism, but she never forgot it. Xi Cui suddenly remembered that Madame had been talking about the days when Hui Neng had promised to see him again in ten years for the past few days, but this Hui Neng had been seeing the dragon from beginning to end, and no one in the world could find a trace, unless he came to you. Is this man coming to the appointment now?

"The master's dumb riddle is a bit esoteric, and Yu Feng is unknown." The white-robed man clenched his fists and bent over, as if asking Hui Neng to make his words clearer. Xi Cui wanted to take advantage of this moment to bypass the two, but he didn't want to be pulled back by Qi Yu again. Seeing Qi Yu's eyes looking at Hui Neng, he must have wanted the old monk to criticize, if it weren't for the fact that there was this prince in front of him, he was afraid that he would be impatient to interrupt their conversation. Xi Cui understands Qi Yu's actions, their Qi family was the home of the eunuchs, and if there was no war on his father's back, he must have joined the scholars, and now the hopes of the two generations all fall on Qi Yu alone. A monk like Huineng is hard to find, and if he can get his criticism, it will be of great help to him in his future life.

"How can the wisdom of the son of the world be unknown? It will only take a few moments...... Go back and tell the prince that the old man is destined for this, and he should go, and it is better to leave more good karma for future generations to cherish the useless mortal dust. Hui Neng didn't even look at the prince of the world, but walked straight to Xi Cui's side and stared at Qi Yu for a long time, "Do you really want Lao Wei to show you the official career?" Do you know that what you need to pay to spy on the heavens is your original intention? ”

"Master Wang's guidance, Xiaosheng will definitely be ......" Qi Yu was so excited that he didn't even open his mouth to ask for what Hui Neng said, but was interrupted by Hui Neng waving his hand.

"Don't make a wish, make less sins. The old man doesn't want you to remember that you will hold a grudge against you today in the future, it's okay, it's okay, if you want to see it, it's fate, you might as well tell the donor, he will be a man in the future, and he will be rich and noble...... "Obviously, there are still words later, but I saw that he opened his mouth and did not make a sound.

After sending these people, the old monk still chased after Xi Cui, "Only then did the old man remember the agreement with Mrs. Huai'an Hou, and now that he has seen the girl, he doesn't need to go to the appointment anymore, and I hope that after the girl returns to Mrs. for three years, the catastrophe will be solved." Back then, the person who Lao Qu looked at her was a guide to turn evil into good fortune. This month is mostly auspicious days, and it is better to send it out as soon as possible. ”

Hearing him say this, Xi Cui was really convinced, this person himself had never seen her, but now he knows that she is the person from the Huai'an Hou Mansion, it seems that what the outside world has spread is true.

"Most of this time I have entered Beijing, and the old man will say goodbye to the girl." Huineng said with his hands folded, closed his eyes respectfully, and recited Amitabha, "Girl, remember: only when you think about it can you avoid the bow and the ghost; The dust is not clean, and the earth net is unlocked. Good, good, good......"

The figure of the old monk has long since disappeared, but the voice has not dispersed for a long time. Xi Cui was stunned in place and didn't know what to do, how could her little maid be so cared for by Master Huineng? Is this a blessing or a curse for her? She doesn't need to look up to know that the people around her must have started to point out and talk about her, presumably rumors will spread, if she really comes to the cusp of the storm, can she still get out of the way?

"Are you from the Hou Mansion of Huai'an? What is your name? Follow Xi Yunjian or Xi Yunting? Yu Feng twisted his eyebrows and looked at the little girl in front of him, dressed in washed faded coarse cloth clothes, that is, whiter, and she looked like she was only eleven or twelve years old, and her eyebrows and eyes were not open, so she couldn't see anything special.

"Yu Shizi, the slave maid is with the young lady, her name is Xi Cui. I don't know if the prince has something to tell the slave maid, if ......not, "Although Xi Cui lives in the compound, he occasionally hears some rumors, it is said that King Li is also a half-born horse, and he only got such a son when he was nearly forty years old, and he is very pampered, and he dare not give the moon to the stars. It is rumored that this man is indifferent and has a domineering temper and even dares to fight the prince, but the only princess of the emperor fell in love with this at first sight and made a fuss about not marrying the king. This incident once became a tea pastime passed down by the mouths of female relatives in the capital, and it was very famous. At first, she still didn't think so, but now that she sees the appearance of this world, isn't it the demeanor that makes the girls lose their souls?

"Hmph, it seems that this son is also a slave who is not good-looking! The old monk must have fainted his old eyes...... Let's go, let's go, go back and remember to tell Xi Yunjian that in the martial arts arena two months later, this son is waiting for him! ”

Xi Cui hurriedly replied yes, pulled Qi Yu and left.

On the other hand, Hui Neng said goodbye to Xi Cui and the others and went straight into a vermilion gate. The people inside were startled at first when they saw it, and quickly called the master. Running to usher in a gorgeously dressed and well-maintained middle-aged woman, as soon as she saw Huineng knelt on the ground, "Master, you are here, my son has been saved......"

Huineng didn't wake her up, but just walked into the courtyard and looked at a pale, skinny purple-robed young man. Obviously, the young man came over with his body when he heard him coming, but it had already taken him a lot of effort to walk a few steps, and there was already fine sweat on his forehead.

Huineng watched from afar and sighed, "Fortunately, it's still too late...... Come, child. There were still three steps left before Hui Neng could enter the courtyard, but he actually stopped and waved to the young man in front of him. When he got closer, Huineng took his hands, "Wang Shaoyan, although you are riddled with evil diseases, you are still a strong man, the old monk asks you, if someone can save your life, but you want to use the rest of your life to protect her, are you willing?" ”

"What the master said is the daughter of Huai'an Houfu? My mother once mentioned it to Shaoyan, saying that only the thousand-year-old Lingzhi of the Hou Mansion can be saved in my body, but if I get someone else's Lingzhi, I must marry his stupid daughter. My mother loves me and is reluctant for me to marry such a woman, but Shaoyan doesn't look down on her, but she is worried about her broken body and is afraid that even if she has Lingzhi, she will not be able to return to heaven. If you can't protect it at that time, but you are tired of the girl's reputation, and isn't there more sins? Shaoyan's voice was a little hoarse because of his illness, but he still made a loud voice.

Huineng smiled, "Good boy, you remember, you should answer your father." You can marry that Xi Yunting within a month, and your body will be fine with her, just remember your promise and protect her. ”

After speaking, Hui Neng laughed and left. Leaving everyone inside the door to look at each other.
