The one who opened her mouth was the little girl who had been lying on the maid's lap, Hongchen looked very familiar, but it was the one who was scared by Xiao Mo and cried not long ago.

It seems to be the sister of King Li's side concubine.

The little girl was not like the coward of that time, pinching her waist, her face was flushed, and her mouth was so pouting that she could hang an oil bottle.

"Don't say daddy, don't say sister, who says I'll beat whom!"

A group of pedestrians were speechless, and everyone was not good at dealing with a little girl, in fact, the maid next to the little girl was also a little red on her face, and she lowered her head and didn't speak.

Of course, the maid is towards the master, but what her master did this time is indeed not authentic, who knows the beginning and the end, and it is said that it has been excessive, it is all her own relatives, you are developed and do not pull a car, how can you not say it.

For a while, the atmosphere in the ancient temple was a little solemn.

It was pouring rain outside, and the clouds were thick, and it felt even worse, especially the little girl, who was blushing with anger, her eyes were shining, and her tears were about to fall, as if she was going to cry in the next second.

"Hey!"

Lao Miaozhu, who has always been similar to a transparent person, and is only responsible for adding tea and pouring water, sighed, and said quietly, "It's all an old thing from many years ago, the grievances of the ancestors, why bother with the children and grandchildren?" ”

Lao Miaozhu has lived in Qixian County for more than 80 years and knows everything about the big and small things here.

That was many years ago, the third room of the Xue family, that is, Xue Ming's room had a shameful thing, the eldest daughter of their family didn't know which wild man had made her belly bigger, and she refused to say who did it.

Her father and mother even threatened with their lives, but she refused to say anything.

At that time, the Great Zhou Dynasty had not long been founded. It was the era when the etiquette law was the strictest, and when this kind of thing happened, the whole family was disgraced, and the marriage of all the girls in the family would be affected.

The Xue family was not like it is now, it was a big family, how could it be able to tolerate this? In addition, Xue Ming's house is a partial house, and the relationship with the family is not very close, and the pregnant girl was blasted out of Qi County.

"Speaking of which, the Xue family didn't kill them all, and at that time, the whole clan had to soak the embarrassed young lady in the pig cage and then blast the family out. Expulsion from the dynasty. I can't leave a single property for them, or the patriarch feels unbearable, after all, it is his own child, and the mistake is big. It will not be cornered. Only the girls were chased away. Forget about the other punishments. ”

As soon as Lao Miaozhu said this, the people who sheltered from the rain felt that the Xue family was benevolent and righteous, and it was too benevolent. Even now girls can go to school openly, and the etiquette is not very strict, and when this happens, the woman is also the result of being immersed in the pig cage by the river.

"Later, I heard that the girl was very miserable, she was bullied all day long, and she died in childbirth, but their branch gradually developed, and the family was defeated, year after year, until now we mention the Xue family in Qixian County, I'm afraid we only recognize their branch."

After listening to the story, the maid who accompanied the young lady shopping bit her lip, a touch of red appeared on her face, and she said word by word: "My young lady said that those people could easily force grandma to death back then, and later bullied the people of our family, and they were ruthless, don't come to pull the relationship now, even if those people die, my young lady won't take a second look, and the master won't pay attention to it." ”

When these words came out, the mother and daughter whimpered and cried, full of despair! It seems that the lady has a grudge in her heart, and she wants to see what happens to them.

The daughter is registered, and she can't avoid it at all, how much silver does it cost to avoid it? It's not that the family doesn't love their daughter, but no matter how much they love their daughter, it is impossible to corrupt the entire family business for her!

Lao Miaozhu shook his head, "Otherwise, fate is the most unpredictable." He turned his head and glanced at the statue of the old moon.

"Speaking of which, this temple was renovated and renovated a few days after that tragic incident, using good materials and being particularly strong."

"Old man, did the old statue of this month also be renovated at that time? Was it the case at the beginning, or was it changed later? ”

Hongchen suddenly asked.

Lao Miaozhu was stunned, pondered, his cloudy eyes fell on the image, and he said after a while: "Miss asked, I remembered that the statue I used before was an ordinary statue of the old moon, it was an old man, holding a red thread in his right hand, it seems that after that renovation, the statue was replaced, but this statue is really good, I heard that it is also very effective, and the people in our county think it is good." ”

Hongchen smiled and looked at it carefully.

The old statue of the moon has been worshiped by incense for many years, and over time, it has not opened its wisdom, but the lampstand in front of the table has a little meaning.

Hongchen also bought incense candles from Miaozhu, stepped forward to put on a stick of incense, and by the way, he picked up the oil pot and added a little oil to the lampstand, only a trace of aura, and added it to the oil lamp along his fingertips, as soon as the wick lit, there was a shallow consciousness echoing in Hongchen's mind.

"So full, so full!"

It's actually a particularly cheerful voice.

Hongchen pursed his lips unconsciously, his heart softened a little, every time a creature was born in front of him, it made people very happy.

Although the candlestick is a nascent wisdom, it has been in this ancient temple for many years, and once it was able to speak, it told a lot of stories that happened in the ancient temple in one breath, what a daughter and the poor boy Yue Lao Temple eloped, what a pretty widow had a private meeting with the little uncle.

Hongchen said that after listening to the words of the candlestick, she could no longer look directly at places like the Yuelao Temple.

"Ah, what you are talking about is Miss Xue, I know, her lover is a thief, there are countless thieves in those years, one was exterminated today, and another one came out the day after tomorrow, originally the two of them said that they wanted to go to Jincheng to live together, and even bought a house, Miss Xue's lover is not an ordinary person, he looked at me, and it made me hairy, very powerful, and then the lover said that he was going to do something, but he never returned, Miss Xue cried every day, for fear that something would happen to her man outside, and then one day, She came to the Yuelao Temple in the middle of the night and gave birth to a little girl, and she was also ...... Human life is so fragile! ”

Hongchen listened silently, and while listening, he took out fried melon seeds from his purse and ate them.

The heavy rain has not been light, and there is a roar of thunder, accompanied by the sound of rain outside, and suddenly there is a jingling sound of bells.

The little girl who had been sitting in the maid's arms burst out. rushed to the gate of the ancient temple and shouted: "Sister, sister, you are here!" ”

The maid hugged her, wrapped her in a large cloak, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The door opened, and two expressionless mothers-in-law entered the door, and after a while, a woman appeared in front of the door holding a sky blue oil-paper umbrella.

As soon as he saw her, Hongchen knew that this was the concubine of King Li. How many years. That person is not very picky, he likes all the fat and thin, the weak love, and the pungent one also likes it. But the favorite. It's still that kind of cold and dusty. The type that occasionally emerges gently.

Just like Jiang Chan!

Just like the Miss Xue family in front of her.

I remember that later he became the emperor, and there were no seventy-two concubines in the three palaces and six courts, and he was the most favored beauty. The temperaments are all similar.

As soon as Miss Xue entered the door, she picked up her sister, rested her on her shoulder, and slapped her twice.

The little girl loved to cry so much, but her sister hit it, it didn't squeak a sound, her whole head was buried in her sister's shoulder, and her mouth hummed: "Sister, sister is the best, sister is not angry." ”

Let Xiao Nan be so tired, let alone her own sister, even bystanders like Hongchen are reluctant to blame more.

At the beginning, Mrs. Xue took her daughter's hand, stood up, and walked to the eldest lady of the Xue family step by step.

The eldest lady had a little helpless softness on her face, but at this time, she was gloomy for a moment, and the corners of her mouth hooked a contemptuous sneer.

The mother trembled, swallowed her saliva, fell to her knees with a plop, gritted her teeth and said: "Miss, I am just this daughter, born pampered, if you are sent to the palace, I don't know if I can live until I leave the palace, you just look at our same ancestry and the same origin, pull her, as long as you can avoid entering the palace, let her be a cow and a horse for you for the rest of her life!" ”

Her voice was hoarse, bordering on despair.

Many bystanders listened to it, and they couldn't bear it.

The eldest lady of the Xue family sneered: "What? At the beginning, you raised my grandmother as a beast, and now when you encounter something, you want to ask me for help? Where did you get your face? I really want to help you, I'm afraid that in the middle of the night, my grandmother and her old man will come to my door to find me trouble! ”

The so-called grandmother is the daughter of the Miss Xue family who eloped at the beginning, Hongchen just thinks about it and knows that a baby with an unknown father can be treated in the clan, and if she can live, her life must be hard enough.

Mrs. Xue trembled even more, looked at her for a long time, and finally hugged her daughter decadently, and sighed: "Sister Xin, my mother has done everything she can, whoever makes your life bad, I will go back and propose marriage to Aven for you." ”

"Mother doesn't care, I know it in my heart." Sister Xin'er's face was pale, but her eyes were extremely cold, standing there with a straight face, even when she saw the eldest lady of the Xue family, she didn't show too much fear and resentment.

Hongchen didn't want to care about this matter, but for some reason, when he saw Sister Xin'er's eyes, he was moved a little compassionate.

I still remember that she also looked around back then, no one could ask for help, everything had to rely on herself, although there were many relatives in the family, but no one was sincere to her, if someone helped at that time, how good would it be?

Miss Xue hugged her sister, and the mother-in-law opened the big umbrella and enveloped the two of them, and the coachman outside opened the car door early in the morning, and the group of Shi Shiran left, leaving the mother and daughter, stunned on the spot.

Hongchen raised his eyebrows, stood up and walked over to Mrs. Xue, leaned into her ear and whispered a few words.

Mrs. Xue was stunned: "Huh? ”

"It's not difficult, can it be done?" Hongchen smiled, "As long as you can do it, I am at least eighty percent sure that your daughter is safe and sound." ”

Mrs. Xue was silent for a long time, and finally nodded.

In fact, what she is most afraid of is the eldest lady of the Xue family, her daughter is miserable enough to be a palace maid, if the eldest lady is resentful, she is bad in this regard, and she is alone away from her parents and relatives, can she really live?

Maybe Miss Xue is not so careful, and she doesn't have the energy to deal with a girl who is nothing, but as long as she shows a little dislike, I don't know how many people rush to help her, and the things that a favored prince's side concubine can do, sometimes there are absolutely so many things that ordinary people are terrified.

Mrs. Xue is actually a smart person, and women will always think more and farther for the sake of their children.

The rain finally stopped.

Xiao Mo helped Hongchen to board the car, drove the carriage back slowly, and as he walked, he turned around and asked, "What did Miss ask Mrs. Xue to do?" ”

"It's just a trivial matter, let her take the candlestick of the Yuelao Temple to her ancestors' spiritual throne, and then pay for the temple to repair the statue. Every day, I take my daughter to kneel in front of the ancestral spirit and put on two more pillars of incense. ”

Xiao Mo blinked, listening to Hongchen's voice was very innocent, and he couldn't help but laugh, and only at this time could he see her little girl's appearance, so he simply didn't ask.

When she got home, Luo Niang and the others hurriedly grabbed Hongchen and let her take a hot bath, poured a big bowl of ginger soup, and then wrapped her whole body with a big cotton cloak, it was May. When it's hot. But Hongchen didn't struggle much.

In the past, many of Luo Niang's sisters were drenched in the rain, but they were only slightly affected by the wind and cold, and as a result, they lost their young lives. They have always hated rainy weather. I don't like people close to me to get drenched in the rain.

"Go on like this. It's okay on our side, but Jiangnan is afraid that there will be another flood. ”

The common people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, even if it is just a child. Now the common people are watching the sky to eat, floods and droughts, frost and snow rain, falling locusts, any one can easily destroy a village, or even a city.

Qi County

"Why is it so noisy!"

Miss Xue turned over irritably, and the maid who was waiting for her just came over to groom her with a bronze mirror, and when she saw her own young lady's face, she was immediately taken aback, and the mirror in her hand fell to the ground with a click.

On the eldest lady's hibiscus jade face, four or five fire boils appeared, red and red, Miss Xue instinctively reached out to scratch it, her maid was loyal and knowledgeable, so she hurriedly rushed over and stopped it......

This night, the lights of the Xue family were bright all night, and the black carriage secretly carried several doctors into the door.

The housekeeper rushed to Jincheng at night, planning to invite the famous doctor of Jincheng, and all the maids and servants in the house were banned, and they were not allowed to enter or leave, and no one could talk nonsense outside.

In the past two days, it has been pouring heavy rain outside, and the house is also covered with thick clouds, and the atmosphere of the entire Xue family is deadly stagnant.

Miss Xue was originally cold and arrogant, but she was quite gentle and her temper was not so bad, but in the past two days, she has been saying that it is very noisy outside, which makes her uncomfortable, the door is closed, and the windows are closed tightly, she still feels very noisy.

This Xue house is in the east of the county, facing the street, the street is lively and lively, it does seem a little unclean, but it is where the people live, and the outer courtyard may be vaguely affected, the house is so big, Miss Xue's boudoir, where can I hear the noise? She's just not quiet.

is about to get married, and she wants to enter Beijing and enter the palace in a dignified manner as a side concubine, but her face has become what it is now, so what?

She knows best, King Li is not affectionate, but he is definitely a person who likes the new and hates the old, and then enters his palace after it is too hot, I am afraid that when the time comes, he will not have the good mood he is in now, let alone wait for her.

A woman's good fortune is limited, and the opportunity to catch a man like His Royal Highness King Li is even more limited.

After taking medicine for several days, the condition is not only not better, but also more serious, and the boils on the face began to spread to the body, getting bigger and bigger.

The young lady became more and more irritable, and the maid was also worried.

"Why is it like this all of a sudden, the medicine can't be eaten well, when Imperial Doctor Hu used to be a imperial doctor, he was judged by the hospital, and now it's out, in fact, the medical skills are better than back then, even he can't prescribe medicine, and he can't find out the cause, isn't it that he encountered something dirty?"

The little girl bit her lip and frowned.

As soon as she said this, Miss Xue's face changed slightly, she thought about it, and whispered to the big maid who was close to her: "You go and invite the third uncle, go quietly, don't alarm others." ”

Her third uncle is a strange person, with unpredictable abilities, but he seems to have committed something back then, and his life has been very low-key for more than ten years, and he lives in a simple place, and other Xue family members even think that he has a strange disease, and his brain is not clear.

Even a few people in the family knew, and he never allowed them to mention his skills, gradually, the Xue family knew that he was more and more capable, and Miss Xue only discovered it by accident when she was a child.

The eldest lady is now the most precious treasure of the entire Xue family, and as soon as her third uncle heard this, he hurriedly rushed to take a look.

At first glance, seeing the eldest lady's face, the third uncle's face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "How is it possible!" ”

This voice frightened a few maids in the room almost weak.

Miss Xue also panicked, took a deep breath, and asked her subordinates to withdraw, before pulling the third uncle to sit down, frowning and asking, "What's wrong?" What can you see? ”

The third uncle's face was solemn and he looked around. I sat down and took her hand, and whispered, "Have you met any special people or special things in the past few days?" ”

"Something special?"

Miss Xue is very cautious, she has told all her itinerary and everything she has encountered in detail in the past few days, and she has never forgotten even small things such as sending a maid to buy a box of rouge, she has always been the most cautious.

After chattering, there seemed to be nothing wrong, only - when he satirized the wife of the Xue family in the ancient temple, he seemed to have offended people.

But what is the ability of the Xue family to deal with her?

Miss Xue would rather believe that someone was jealous that she could marry King Li. Deliberately bad.

The third uncle is different from her. As soon as he heard it, he said: "Yuelao Temple! ”

"Mingzhu, the open flames on your shoulders have been extinguished, and the other has dimmed a little, so you can do this. Dare to do this. Definitely quite a powerful spirit master. When my master was alive, he didn't dare to do anything to people easily, think about it. Is there any special person in the old temple of the sun and the moon? ”

Miss Xue frowned.

She didn't pay much attention that day, anyway, it was just a group of ordinary people in Qi County, why did she need to pay attention?

The third uncle fell into deep thought, thinking about it, he was almost enchanted: "It's incredible, people can really touch the open fire on other people's bodies, when I heard the master say it before, I thought it was just a legend to scare us, but who dares to do this?" How? Aren't you afraid of backlash? ”

As he spoke, his eyes were blazing and brightened up amazingly, and Miss Xue frowned: "Is the person my uncle said very powerful?" ”

"What do you mean by being powerful? Get rid of that! ”

The third uncle rolled his eyes, "For a living person, three open flames on his head and shoulders are the most important. Up to the gods, down to the ghosts, can not easily touch mortals, it is because of the fire on the mortals, once the open flame is dim or extinguished, the evil will easily invade the human body, because the open fire is so important, so it is difficult to be touched, as long as there are some cultivators who know that this is a taboo, once touched, it will be doomed. Moreover, if a powerful spirit master wants to kill a person, or make a person unlucky, it is very easy, and there is no need to play this method at all. ”

Miss Xue was scared when she heard it, how could she say that the person who did this was crazy, she was not afraid of dealing with reasonable people, as long as she was sensible, she could be persuaded and reasonable, but how could a powerful madman guard against it?

Her third uncle calmed down, closed his eyes, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's just that extinguishing your open fire is nothing, as long as there is no accident, you can naturally recover as before in two days, you can endure it for a few days, don't go out recently, let alone get close to the place where yin qi gathers, the other party makes such a big move, there will definitely be a follow-up move, let's see the move." ”

Miss Xue was even more worried when she heard this, and when she saw the move, she said that it sounded good, isn't this just a passive beating?

Before she could clear her mind and start thinking about countermeasures, a report came from the porter outside, saying that there was a white-haired old man holding a canvas who asked to see her.

"Miss Hui, someone who came called himself Wang Banxian and said that he could show Miss a clear way."

Xue Mingzhu was stunned, and without saying a word, she immediately invited people into the courtyard, because she had been irritable recently, and the people standing guard in the courtyard were all big men, all of them with tigers on their backs, wearing weapons on their bodies, and they were murderous.

When ordinary people saw such a group of big men, they were scared and weak, but Wang Banxian was very generous and came in without squinting.

Xue Mingzhu couldn't help but feel that this person was a character, probably not a deception.

How did she know that Wang Banxian, an old liar, recently met Hongchen, and he was used to seeing strong winds and waves, and had faced all kinds of horrors.

As soon as Wang Banxian came, he looked at it carefully for a long time, and said with a smile: "I was passing by just now, and suddenly there was a hexagram, and when I pinched my fingers, I calculated that Miss had a problem, and I came to show you the way." ”

Xue Mingzhu nodded, his face was kind, and he said softly: "In this case, please also ask the half-immortal to say clearly, you can rest assured, if it is really useful, the price will definitely satisfy you." ”

"I don't need the money, it's rare for me to see you in this lively matter, and I want to insert a long insight, after all, the master sets up a game, which is something that can be met but not sought."

Wang Banxian glanced at Xue Mingzhu seriously, "Your turning point is on the green mountains of Zhou Village, believe it or not, but I think in two days, if you don't believe it, you can only let yourself believe it." ”

After speaking, he walked out.

As soon as I walked out of the gate of the Xue family, I couldn't help but grit my teeth - what a big fat sheep, hey! (To be continued......)
