When it came to this, Wei Ren hurriedly nodded in response.

Not long after, the descendants of the Wei family invited a man who looked very young, and as a brother-in-law, he looked many years younger than Wei Ren to come over.

He blushed as soon as he saw Hongchen, and he didn't dare to look up, so that he looked very shy.

Wei Ren briefly introduced it, and said softly: "He is the third brother-in-law of my family, who works in the Ministry of Industry, and his temperament is a little boring, not deliberately rude." ”

There are hundreds of people in the world, and there is nothing to worry about about this.

However, this shows that Mr. Guo's choice of son-in-law is really arbitrary, and it seems that he has no opinions, as long as he likes it.

Also, a family like him should have been low-key, and his in-laws were low-ranked, which was a good thing.

Hongchen smiled, didn't talk nonsense, turned to Luo Niang and said, "Prepare wolf hair and cinnabar for me." ”

He said to the shy little brother again: "Take a closer look, the jade statue is too thick, it needs to be refined and become more rounded, especially the eyes, its original eyes are slightly smaller, I need it to open a little bigger, are you sure to do it well?" ”

"Yes, it's easy."

The man listened attentively, his eyes were bright, and when he mentioned his hobby, he was full of confidence.

After saying that, he only took a carving knife and walked over to brush the knife.

Listening to the sound of brushing, Wei Ren's heart fluttered, he didn't dare to look, he closed his eyes, he was not as generous as his brother-in-law, he did whatever he wanted, and he didn't think about the consequences.

Throughout the building, everyone became quiet.

I don't know how long it took, but the man finally stopped. Very satisfied, he blew lightly, and the jade shavings fell to the ground, revealing the entire green jade statue.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's not bad, even if it's an ordinary statue of green jade, there are not a few pieces of practice works, and it's even more impossible to take out a perfect one with this one.

On closer inspection, everyone fell silent.

In fact, there is no big change, the jade statue is still the same jade statue, and there is no difference between the portrait in Master Yan's paintings, but the feeling is different. This one was a little more angry. Wei Ren couldn't help but bow his head slightly, there was a feeling that his father-in-law should stand here, looking at him.

Hongchen chuckled: "Not bad, very good." ”

When the man heard the praise, he praised him. The face was red again.

Wei Ren's spirits lifted. With wide eyes, I watched Hongchen walk forward with the box. pasted the jade talisman she took in advance on the jade statue, and said with a smile: "There is just a divine jade talisman brought by Master Qu Wu, otherwise let me write it now." But it can't be done in a day or two, and it's too late to catch up. ”

As she spoke, her expression also became solemn and solemn, she asked people to bring a basin of water, cleaned her hands, took the wolf hair in Luo Niang's hand, dipped it in cinnabar, paid full attention, took a deep breath, and gently nodded two points in the eyes of the jade statue.

As soon as I went up, the wind around me was strong, and the flying sand and rocks suddenly rose.

Liu Hong and the others experienced the last disaster, and this time they all retreated backwards in unison, and even Wei Ren couldn't help but run away!

Don't break it anymore!

His whole heart lifted.

Hongchen was not arrogant or impatient, found a cushion, slowly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and read a word.

As the sound of the incantation in her mouth became clearer and clearer, there was a fluctuation of earth qi, surging up wave after wave, impacting her surroundings, except where she was sitting, there was no trace of wind, only the light in her sleeve flickered, and around her was like an extra turtle shell-like cover, covering him in it, very safe.

After a long time, Hongchen opened his eyes and smiled: "Okay!" ”

Everyone looked up and was stunned for a while!

The jade statue of Qingyu was originally ordinary, just a broken stone, but at this moment, a layer of golden light faintly appeared.

The golden light was very soft, looming, and could only be glimpsed by chance, and Wei Ren and they even thought it was an illusion for a moment.

But something really is different.

All the statues on the entire floor are integrated, and the more you look at them, the more pleasing they are, even if this one is the only one that is cyan, it is not inferior to the others, on the contrary, because of its difference, it is also very eye-catching.

Afterwards, the price of green jade increased sharply, and it took more than a year to return to normal, which is another story.

Wei Ren gritted his teeth, almost bursting into tears.

Hongchen smiled: "Go farther, come to me." ”

She took a few steps back and retreated to the door.

Wei Ren and the others also took a few steps back, and when they looked up, they were even more stunned - just in front of the statue of Qingyu, enveloping the entire floor, a big word of loyalty appeared, he rubbed his eyes vigorously, and was speechless.

Liu Hong knelt down and kowtowed.

Hongchen rubbed his eyebrows and said softly, "This should be fine." ”

Seeing that Wei Ren couldn't help but laugh, she couldn't help but smile and quipped: "This incident, maybe in a few years, it will be arranged into a play book and sung around, and it must be interesting to make a note in the history books in the future." ”

"Amitabha, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!"

Wei Ren was suddenly overjoyed, this is also a bad thing turned into a good thing, and he is not afraid to let others know at all.

Who would dare to say that his old man was not worthy of being in the Inviting Heaven Pavilion, which led to this disaster?

This is obviously a good thing and a lot of grinding, and it is blessed by the gods.

If my old man didn't have this blessing, could there be so many new and good things happening? How can you have such a perfect statue? Can you be in trouble?

Wei Ren looked at the jade statue with fascination, and said softly: "Qingyu is good, simple and unpretentious, and more worthy of my father-in-law's identity." ”

Hongchen smiled, and asked Liu Hong to bring a wooden box over and pick up the pieces on the ground and pack them.

This is a fragment of the original jade statue.

"You take this back, there's another one with a crack." Hongchen hesitated slightly, and said in a low voice, "It's all the statues of General Guo, you can't throw them around, and I suspect that this accident is not just an aura conflict, you take the jade statue back and deal with it well, find a serious temple, or Taoist temple, and ask the masters to do the Dharma for half a month." ”

Wei Ren immediately responded.

Hongchen was relieved at this time, and took off the two pieces of jade talismans and handed them to Wei Ren, telling him to return them to Qu Wu. And he turned and departed.

It turns out that the jade statue has changed so much here, it is strange at first glance, maybe it is not just the cause of the aura conflict.

However, she only noticed that something was wrong, and she didn't know the specific situation, although she was sensitive, but this place was near the Taimiao, and the pavilions and pavilions built were carefully handled by the national teacher. The aura itself is very strong.

Even the jade statue is a serious ritual weapon. There's a little bit of evil in it, and it's normal to have it.

As soon as jade has an aura, it is a magic weapon, and there is a great possibility that such a thing as a magic weapon will be contaminated with a chaotic atmosphere. After some time. Nature will purify. She didn't know if she should make a fuss.

Anyway, now that things are settled, this jade statue is a little greasy, and it can't set off a big storm. Let the Guo family send it to the temple or Taoist temple to deal with it, and it will naturally be fine.

Since Hongchen had spoken, Wei Ren didn't dare to ignore it too lightly.

This jade statue is going to be a prisoner, and it can't be said that it will be taken away, but the Guo family wants this thing, so it doesn't take much effort, so they hurriedly asked Eunuch Liu to help move the things, stared at it himself, and cleaned up all the debris on the ground.

was tossing, Qu Wu took two people and went upstairs with a black bag.

She didn't look very good-looking, she just entered the palace gate, and almost let people take it as a bad guy, or she happened to run into Hongchen who was out of the palace, Hongchen confessed, and people searched her body, passed it on, and got permission, and sent someone to send them to Wei Ren.

Before she could get upstairs, she vaguely felt that something was wrong.

Quickly came up, and as soon as he entered the door and saw the green jade statue, he was stunned, his face changed greatly, and he rushed forward to pick it up.

Wei Ren was taken aback: "Stop!" ”

He's a bit of a pawn now, where is he willing to let others move!

Before he could shout, Qu Wu withdrew his hand, his fingers were red and red, with a slight burning sensation, and before he touched the jade statue just now, it stimulated the aura to backfire, which was not serious, but it made Qu Wu's face even more ugly.

"Who is it?"

Wei Ren blinked, reacted, and then reacted, and said with a smile: "It's all thanks to Lord Rong'an." ”

Qu Wu didn't speak for a long time.

Wei Ren touched the beard that had not been left on his chest, there was a little messy, coughed, presented the two jade talismans, and thanked him on behalf of the Hongchen County Lord, and thanked himself.

People worked hard to come and calculated and destroyed a jade statue, but nothing was done, and he had no reason to blame.

The spirit master opened the light, and no one dared to guarantee 100% success.

"Lord Rong'an?"

After a long time, Qu Wu took the jade talisman from Wei Ren's hand, squinted his eyes, flicked his sleeves suddenly, and turned to leave.

The two maids hurriedly followed.

Wei Ren also hurriedly beckoned the little eunuch to lead the way.

This is not a palace person, and he is very strange, he is jumping around in the palace, that is a big sin, if something happens, Wei Ren is also troublesome, after all, it is the palace gate that he invited people to enter, and he can't say it when the time comes, he has already asked for the permission of the Lord of Long Live to let the emperor carry the black cauldron?

Now is the time for a prosperous New Year.

Senior Brother Lin Xulin was absent again, but fortunately, this time Xiaohe is here, as long as he is there, it doesn't matter whether Senior Brother Lin is there or not.

Well, in other people's hearts.

Hongchen still misses his senior brother, but this time Lin Xu wants to go back to Guigu for the New Year, it seems that Mr. Guigu personally gave the order.

For this reason, Hongchen deliberately took out the medicinal wine he brewed with very valuable medicinal materials, called Immortal Brew, and packed two big gourds, all of which were taken away by Lin Xu to honor Mr. Guigu.

These medicinal materials for brewing were obtained by her for a year, writing scripts, doing embroidery work, drawing talismans, and using various means to get them from those powerful hands in the Yujue space, and as for the formula, it took several ancient books to come up with it.

I tried more than ten times, but it was not satisfactory several times, not that I couldn't drink it, but it wasn't that the effect was not as good as I imagined, or the taste was not as mellow as I imagined, and she was busy, so it was not easy to squeeze out time to do this.

It wasn't until a few years ago that it finally succeeded.

The only two most successful gourds were all sent to Mr. Guigu.

In the past, she got some good things, and she often borrowed Lin Xu's hand to honor Mr., but they were all ordinary things, and this time it should make Mr. very happy.

He is an old man from childhood to adulthood, and he doesn't have many hobbies, so he has a good cup of things and a large amount of wine, which means that he is not drunk in a thousand cups.

It's perfect for a drink.

Even if there is no master-apprentice relationship in this life, in her heart, Mr. Guigu is also her mentor, and his kindness is as heavy as a mountain.

Eating too much meat during the Chinese New Year. There are too many delicacies, and Luo Niang and the others gradually lost their appetite, and they all said that they didn't want to eat.

Hongchen: "......"

I don't know if I should be proud for a while!

How many people outside have a hard time, how many beggars can't even eat hot food, and they freeze to death on the streets in the cold winter.

The girl in the family lost her appetite because she ate too much meat.

"That's right, follow me to make sauerkraut."

Pick out the most tender and best cabbage and add the red or green peppers. Boil the salted water. Add vinegar sauce and serious sugar and soak slowly.

The family was busy.

Luo Niang was still busy, and at the same time chanted the words: "Zhongtian has a house." There are melons in the field. It's peeling or peeling. Dedicated to the Emperor Ancestor. ”

Xiao Yan and the others all laughed, and felt more and more that Luo Niang was like a serious scholar, and she was better taught by the gentlemen of the academy.

Sauerkraut should be marinated for a longer time before it can be put away. However, don't delay them to eat as they go, add the vegetables to the yokan, the taste is really delicious, even Luo Niang, who has been shouting unappetizing, will inevitably eat more than half a cake with the dish.

Hongchen saw that there was too much food to eat when she saw the New Year, and it was indeed a little hard to consume, although her craftsmanship was good, but there were few people, that is, she added meals to the whole house, and there was still a lot left, so it was better to do some good deeds while the New Year, and it was also considered to accumulate merit.

Taking advantage of the good weather in a few days, Hongchen took the palace people at home and Luo Niang and them, mixing the noodles and mixed noodles that could not be eaten, or rolling noodles, or pancakes, and the cakes were also sandwiched with scrambled eggs and braised meat.

The other miscellaneous dishes were stewed.

Let people carry large barrels and send them to the street, so that the little beggars on the street can have a good New Year.

It's just that Hongchen also specially told a few words, be careful, everyone can only eat a small portion, not afraid of them to eat, but people are really hungry, and it is easy to spoil the stomach and intestines if they eat seafood, and it is difficult for them to see a doctor if they eat a bad stomach.

In previous years, there was a famine in the capital, and they also gave porridge or something in the house, but most of the time they were busy, and they were not rich, so they had no leisure to do such things.

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan are very serious, a few days, go home to eat and don't pick their mouths, occasionally listen to the little palace maids sigh, they all say that the days they used to live at home, the New Year's home has a little ration delicious, but it is also used by the boys, and the girls can only eat the leftover, but usually there is no left, as for the clothes, the family only has one or two bodies, countless.

Most of the palace maids are poor families, and there are not many well-off families in the palace that they are selected to enter, and girls from good families will not enter the palace to serve people, and the ordinary stories in their mouths make Luo Niang's eyes red for several days.

Hongchen just laughed.

Luo Niang also smiled: "Now life is better, and it is getting stronger day by day, so that we have the energy to pity the poor and the weak." ”

I think that when they were the most miserable, they ended up with no bones at some point, and there were no poor people who couldn't survive, but they never had mercy.

At that time, they couldn't even save themselves, so what qualifications did they have to sympathize with others? Now that the son is better, he naturally has the spirit to think about how to help the world and save people.

Luo Niang and her entourage gave porridge and medicine, and also gave up tricks.

In these years, the landlord's family has no surplus grain, and the average rich and noble people may not be able to eat meat three or five times a year, but they make all kinds of messy stews, and there are some meat foam, even if it is lean meat, it is not as big fat as making people love it more, and it is also meat.

Now not only the beggars wandering on the streets, but even ordinary people are inevitably cheeky to ask for a bowl to taste.

At first, those people were a little uncomfortable, but the rich aroma wafted in the wind, making the mouth flow.

Luo Niang and their Zhuangzi have a lot of spices, many spices grow rapidly, and they can't eat them at all, even if they sell better, the rest is enough to be used vigorously, so naturally they are not stingy, and the cooked meat is fragrant for three miles.

One of them couldn't stand it and came out to beg for it, and the others followed, not feeling ashamed, but fortunately, they were still measured, not fighting or grabbing, as long as they were once, they didn't know how to keep a low profile and not cause trouble.

On this day, Hongchen was a little angry, and Luo Niang sent away the palace people who went to the street to give porridge, so she went to cook a bowl of coptis water for her.

As soon as the bitter soup was served, Xiao Yan frowned and said, "Someone sent posts again, and in the New Year, we received seventy or eighty posts, and we had to reply to them one by one, and we were in trouble." ”

Now that I have a firm foothold in the capital, it is naturally different from before, all kinds of entertainment are inevitable, and when it comes to the New Year's Day, don't care about the relatives who are distant and near, and the people who are involved in a little relationship have sent posts. Just replying to a post is a headache.

Fortunately, Luo Niang and the others are all from the top Beijing girls, and their writing skills are not bad, and they can barely cope with the past by sharing some of them.

"It's been a non-stop year."

Xiao Yan didn't like to be quiet, and he felt very bored when people came and went, "Miss, the Wei family also came to the post, which was sent by Wei Ren, the son-in-law of the Guo family, and wanted to come to the door to thank you." ”

Because Hongchen was busy with the Guo family's affairs a while ago, they all paid attention. As soon as I saw the famous post, it felt familiar. Only then did the Wei family's posts be picked out in time from a large number of posts by royal relatives and nobles.

A few days after the Wei family handed over the post, Wei Ren took his second brother with him, and it should be said that he was holding his second brother. Came to the door with a heavy gift to thank and apologize.

He was feeling. From start to finish. The second brother has never succeeded in apologizing seriously, and now he is more and more convinced of Hongchen, so he is naturally not happy to let his younger brother offend others. What if the lord of Rong'an has a little grudge......

Wei Ren was very suspicious, and his disciples, grandchildren, and grandchildren would be worried.

I don't know how this person taught his second brother a lesson at home, this time Wei Yi is quite honest, although the lewd and evil spirit on his face has not been removed, he has good rules and regulations, and he has no mess, and he also gave one order and one action, and obediently apologized to Hongchen.

He not only damaged his face at the beginning, but also hurt Xiaohe's heart, and only felt colic in his lower abdomen for a while, but in the doctor's opinion, there was no major problem, but he really left a dark injury, and it took a year and a half of self-cultivation to slowly recover, if not, it would definitely damage his life.

Xiaohe was angry for her, and Hongchen didn't say anything about him, so he pursed his lips and smiled: "I think General Wei's younger brother is not good-looking, it's best to cultivate one's self and cultivate one's temperament and recuperate carefully, otherwise I'm afraid I won't live to forty." ”

Wei Yi's face changed suddenly, and his anger soared.

Wei Ren smiled bitterly, slapped his second brother on the shoulder, and coughed: "It's this kid who is rude, no wonder the county lord is angry, I will definitely be disciplined when I turn around, and I will order him to work with Steward Guo to atone for his sins in the past two days, and don't let him go out to mess around in the future." ”

After saying thank you and greeting a few words, Wei Ren was embarrassed to stay longer, so he planned to take his younger brother to leave.

Taking advantage of Wei Ren's lack of attention, Wei Yi was behind, still grinning at Hongchen.

A cold air suddenly rushed over, with a little fishy smell, Hongchen suddenly frowned, and looked at this Wei Yi carefully.

His complexion is really bad. The face is white, the lips are purple and black, the eye sockets are deep, the body is rickety, and even standing is a little swinging.

Wei Ren may have been watching and couldn't see it, but he was tired, but at first glance, Hongchen found that he was very different from the last time they met.

After a little hesitation, Hongchen frowned, and couldn't help asking, "Dare to ask, have you ever dealt with the jade statues and fragments that General Wei brought back?" ”

Wei Ren was stunned and turned his head to look at Wei Yi.

Wei Yi said angrily: "It's really troublesome to send it to the Taoist temple!" ”

Hongchen shook his head: "That's good!" ”

She originally wanted to remind her again, but she couldn't get the jade statue for sure, she just felt that it was weird, and it would be better to deal with it earlier.

But since this kid looks like he's looking for death, it's up to him.

She can't live by herself, she can't bother to save a bastard who has to kill herself.

The so-called Buddha is destined to cross, even the Buddha picks people to cross, she has good thoughts, and she can't make a mess of cause and effect for such a person, it all depends on creation.

'Coaxed' the two brothers of the Wei family out of the house, Hongchen left this mess behind and refused to think about it.

A good New Year is a complicated matter, and it is also a New Year, and it can't be wasted.

It's the 15th Lantern Festival.

The palace rewarded several lanterns of various colors, and the mother said that it was good, and then rewarded it to the juniors.

Other people's families have also rewarded it, but most of them are standard, Hongchen has got a very special beauty lantern, one side is a beauty, it is the most famous twelve beauties in history, a total of twelve.

The realism of the painting is everyone's technique, but unfortunately there is no signature, so I don't know who painted it.

Because this lantern is very large, it can light a very thick candle inside, and it is also windproof and waterproof, Hongchen simply found someone to make a shelf and hung it in the courtyard to make the yard brightly lit.

A few days later, the patrol officer also caught a sneaky young man from outside the yard, Luo Niang and the others were startled, but in the first trial, it turned out to be a poor scholar who ran to the bottom of the wall to borrow light to read.

Hongchen chuckled, and asked Luo Niang to say a few good words, and gave a reward, since it was a clean white family, let the messenger let the people go.

She doesn't care whether this person really borrows light to study, or finds an excuse to cling to it, anyway, if she can come up with such an excuse, she is a wonderful person, and it is not too much to let it go.

As soon as this matter was over, Hongchen suddenly remembered the teahouse she opened in Qixian County, saying that it was a teahouse, but in fact, there were more books, and how many students benefited from it.

"Let's open another teahouse."

Hongchen chuckled.

Luo Niang and the others also nodded.

"It's better to open a teahouse and be lively."

They also miss the carefree days in Qixian County.

"Catch the kitten and the two wild children of the raccoon dog and let them run it." (To be continued.) )
