People who have no worries about food and clothing need to be jealous of beggars who are not clothed?

The people of the market on the third floor and the outer three floors, through the gap in the courtyard that surrounded them, looked at the girl of the Hu family who was surrounded by maids in the open space in the middle. Twenty-four maids of considerable size, dressed in pale green brocade robes, combed oily and slippery braids, stood behind the little master with brushes.

This alone shows wealth and majesty to the fullest. Seeing this, the onlookers couldn't help but stand more disciplined, and their expressions became more solemn.

There was silence in front of Hu's house, and this silence was like putting a layer of ice on people's warm hearts, and the hearts of blind obedience in anxiety calmed down.

"Not good."

In the blue-roofed sedan chair, Shen Moci frowned, she knew people's hearts well and knew how to guide rumors to achieve their goals. So after the scandal that happened on the day of the opening lecture spread, she did not stop the rumors from spreading, but pushed it in secret. Because she had already planned the follow-up apprenticeship, the rumors in the city became more and more ferocious, and the condemnation of the culprit A-Yao after the "truth was revealed" became more and more serious.

At that time, Hu Yao, who is also the daughter of a silk merchant, will become a stepping stone to her glorious reputation. How much Hu Yao is despised, and how respected, in turn, she is.

But she made thousands of calculations, but only Hu Yao was missed.

It's not a miscalculation, there is a nail of a nurse, Hu Yao's experience from childhood to adulthood, she is even clearer than the Song family, who is the biological mother. She is a delicate girl raised in the depths of the boudoir, so simple that she is almost stupid, and has not experienced any storms. This kind of delicate flower was pointed out by thousands of people, and all kinds of unbearable words pounced on her, and her first reaction must have been to throw herself into her father's arms and cry.

But why did she come out?

Not only did she boldly come out to face the predicament, but she also spoke out to refute the mother and daughter of the Song family. Yifan's rhetoric is well-founded and conclusive, and the most eye-catching thing is the twenty-four maidservants behind her, who don't need to say a word to prove the Hu family's heritage, and it also completely shocked the surrounding people who watched the lively market.

The silence was getting longer and longer, and Shen Moci keenly felt that it would not work like this.

"Give up the mother and daughter of the Song family, and only say the rumors of the past few days."

After receiving the order, the Shen family quickly changed their rhetoric. Let's not talk about the girl of the Song family, what about the girl of the Shen family? Mo Daru was an unusually accepted person as an apprentice, and the girl of the Hu family had a quarrel with him when she first entered the academy. There is also Song Qinwen, who is a famous talent in our Qingcheng, and the girl of the Hu family who is so outstanding dares to arrange it, and the villagers and elders are commenting on it.

Seeing that the atmosphere is going to heat up again, the Hu family is not a vegetarian, so you can't let your Shen family decide with one mouth.

Immediately, there were people from the Hu family who mixed in, pointed to the person who was foaming at the mouth, and said suspiciously, "I said, from just now to now, you can talk about it." How much enmity do you have with Master Hu, the revenge of killing your father, or what...... The hatred of taking a wife? ”

"Your daughter-in-law brought you a green hat."

"I just mentioned it casually, and I want me to say that Old Man Hu is not bad. Over the years, the Hu family has always collected raw silk, but it has always been a two-time payment of money on the spot, and it has never been in arrears for a while. Besides, the price given by the Hu family is not low, anyway, the things I sold to the Hu family have never suffered a loss. Have you ever sold it cheaply? You, you, you, are you? ”

The middleman pointed his fingers around one by one, and the person he pointed at subconsciously shook his head.

"Isn't this right, what are we trying to grow mulberry and silkworms? Don't you want to sell raw silk at a good price for a year, so that the whole family can eat and drink well, and make a few new clothes for your daughter-in-law during the New Year. After speaking, he looked at the Shen family thoughtfully, and slowly added, "Of course, it's best not to cut off the green ones, it's unlucky." ”

Many people fell into deep thought, with a faint look of guilt on their faces, when they were hot-headed just now, they only felt that Master Hu was the biggest profiteer in the world, but when they calmed down and thought about it a little, they were really the most kind of the Hu family over the years. The raw silk money is never in arrears, and the cloth sold in the shop has always been of good quality and low price.

Nodding in approval, they couldn't help but laugh when they heard "green". The heart was anxious, and the foreheads of the Shen family were dyed with a thin layer of sweat, and they were in a hurry, "When people are rich, they seek fame, and the girls of the Shen family have a good reputation, but they are jealous if they are not even." ”

There seems to be some truth to it. Shen Moci has been in business for many years, and the girl of the Hu family is just a stranger to them, and many people still choose to believe the former after a little hesitation.

"After all, he is a disciple of Mo Da Confucian."

Facing the proud Shen family, the Hu family did not show any panic. It's not that their psychological qualities are good, but that they want to go with Shen Moci. has been working in the Hu family for a long time, what kind of temperament do they know about their own girls? That is a delicate girl who is protected by the lord impenetrable, such as a nurse and a cousin of the Song family, and only others have her share.

How could it be possible for her to come up with such a meticulous plan to frame people!

Believing from the bottom of their hearts that their own girls would never be able to do such a difficult thing, and their hearts were firm, they would let the rumors spread, but they remained unmoved, and retorted clearly:

"If the girl of the Hu family is a person with a good reputation, how can she have been unknown all these years. Not to mention anything else, Laba opens a porridge shed in her name every year, this is not difficult? The name of the Hu family is there, is it difficult to make a good name for his own girl? ”

"Don't have a good reputation at your fingertips, could it be that your own girl herself is unsightly?"

A-Yao, who has been paying attention to the movement here, touched her face, and the little face in the boudoir without any wind and rain was smooth and delicate, what was there to see? Shrugging, she looked innocent.

"Nonsense, nonsense." The Hu family was also helpless, and stomped their feet in depression.

The people who look at the excitement are all grass on the wall, they are easy to be instigated by Shen Moci, and they are also easy to be instigated by others. This kung fu has been aroused by the Hu family's subordinates. The reason why he is still hesitating is entirely because of Mo Daru.

Shen Moci also knows that Mo Daru is her biggest reliance now. But no one knows Mo Daru's attitude better than her, and accepting her as an apprentice is completely the result of King Ping's pressure on him, and this point has even wiped out the good impression that Mo Daru had for her when they first met because of his thoughts of his deceased wife. And on the contrary, because of the problem-solving, Mo Daru has a good impression of Hu Yao.

The friendship between master and apprentice is not very strong, if Mo Daru knows that she will pull his banner to deal with Hu Yao, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"This is the end of the matter, let our people withdraw."

Shen Sheng commanded outside the sedan curtain, but after not getting a response for a long time, she opened the sedan curtain anxiously and accused: "Didn't hear? ”

"Miss Shen hasn't told you who you have arranged outside, even if you want to pass on your life, you can't pass it on."

Candidate ...... An unfamiliar voice that did not belong to his own family came, and Shen Moci "rubbed" and lifted the sedan curtain. Facing the door of the sedan chair stood a young man in Xuanyi, who was the "Brother Jing" who took Ayao to the mountain behind Huashou Temple yesterday.

How did he end up here? A strong sense of foreboding rose in her heart, and she couldn't help but adjust her face, she raised her side and asked, "Dingbei Hou is here at this moment, could it be that he has secretly discussed with the Hu family?" ”

From the mouth of King Ping, she knew why the Marquis of Dingbei came, and the Hu family alone could not make up the huge military expenses. Now that he knew about her and King Ping, he must not be able to win them over in a short period of time. If you can't move it with affection, then you will tempt it to benefit.

Want to crush him with a holy decree? Shen Moci is really ...... Be smart, and anyone who is on the job will weigh it carefully and then choose to give in.

But he's not one of those mediocre people!

"Whether Ben Hou has any discussion with the Hu family, there is no need to report to you. But Ben Hou knows that you and King Ping have secretly discussed. ”

"Good birds choose trees to perch on." Shen Moci said with a charming face.

"With the Zhilan Jade Tree, it's not like any messy bird can pounce on it casually." With a proud face, Lu Jingyuan's tone was undisguised disgust.

What kind of soup did Hu Yao pour him, Shen Moci, who has always been held by men, was so disgusted for the first time. The sound of the argument outside the sedan chair came out, and she couldn't hold back her disgust, and she said goodbye: "Since this is the case, the posture of the people's girl Pu Liu will no longer hinder the eyes of the Beihou Gui. ”

"Heh~" Lu Jingyuan chuckled, and the hand that had been behind his back stretched out, and what he was holding in his hand was a bamboo horn.

In Shen Moci's frightened eyes, he raised the bamboo horn and put it to his mouth, and said loudly: "Miss Shen, Mo Daru has been waiting outside for so long, and he can't let you deign to get off the sedan chair to see him." ”

Miss Shen, Mo Daru......

The names of the two statues on the cusp of the storm were suddenly shouted out, and the people gathered at the door of Hu's house looked at the source of the sound. I saw an inconspicuous blue-roofed sedan chair parked in the shade of a tree not far from here, a young man in Xuanyi stood beside the sedan chair, and beside him, on the side of the sedan chair stood a hunchbacked old monk and an old man full of elegance.

Everyone knows the hunchbacked old monk, it is the world-famous Kukai master, could it be that the elegant old man next to him is the same famous Mo Daru?

"Master."

Shen Moci walked out of the sedan chair, without any unnecessary explanation, but directly bowed his hand and performed the ceremony of seeing the master and apprentice.

"It turns out that it's really Mo Daru."

"The old man waited by the sedan chair for a while, but the apprentice rested in the sedan chair, how can there be such a reason in the world?"

"Xu is the girl of the Shen family, I haven't seen it."

"Ah Ci must not have seen it!" Song Qinrong, who was dumbfounded by Ah Yao and stood in the crowd with her head bowed since she was just now, would be more excited than anyone else.

Glancing at Ah Yao proudly, shaking Yang's arm, she said excitedly: "Ah Niang, it must be Mo Daru who knows that Ah Ci has been wronged and personally rushed to testify against her?" ”

"Really?" Yang couldn't hide his surprise.

"Are you sure?" The afterglow swept over the hunchbacked old monk beside the sedan chair, and there was a hint of carelessness in Ah Yao's voice, which angered Song Qinrong, who had no brains to worship Shen Moci.

"Ah Ci is outstanding in knowledge, not even inferior to men, but she is a rare strange woman in the world. Mo Daru has taken her as an apprentice, and if he hadn't come to testify for her, would it be possible to help you? ”

"Not necessarily." Yao chuckled.

"You!"

"What is the truth, why don't you ask it yourself? You've always been good, she won't blame you for this, right? Ah Yao raised the bamboo horn and handed it directly to her.

Song Qinrong bit her lip, and shouted in front of the public. But if she shouldn't be at this moment, wouldn't she lose face in front of Ah Yao. Left and right Mo Daru came in person, and it was also a glorious thing for Ah Ci, so why didn't she shout a few words?

"Just ask!"

Pulling the bamboo horn and aiming at the direction of the blue-topped sedan chair, she shouted: "Ah Ci, I'm here!" ”

The high-pitched voice of the girl in the noisy crowd was particularly penetrating, and many people turned their heads to look at her in surprise.

Hearing a familiar voice, Shen Moci, who was racking his brains to find a way to stabilize Mo Daru, chuckled in his heart. Just wanted to stop it, Song Qinrong, who was stared at by so many pairs of eyes, was a little nervous, and subconsciously told the truth when she spoke again.

"A lot of people have wronged you and my brother, and I was so worried that I couldn't do it. Well, now that Mo Daru is here, he will definitely help you testify. ”

"Ah Rong." The Yang family was busy holding her daughter, and she was so close to the girl of the Shen family in front of so many people, what if it was spread out and it affected her son.

Standing on the steps, Hu Jiuling was condescending, taking in Yang's small movements. took the bamboo horn, and his face was tolerant: "Yang, why are you doing this." Ah Rong has always gotten along with the girls of the Shen family, and she usually praised her in front of Ah Yao. The children feel that they lose their temper, so they naturally get together in one place, so why should we be fathers and mothers for no reason. ”

After sighing repeatedly, his voice became sharp when he spoke again, "Ah Rong, from the standpoint of the elders, I support you in making confidants and friends." But as a father, I don't think you can indiscriminately pour dirty water on my daughter because you favor your friends. Do you understand? ”

Looking at the trembling Song Qinrong, Hu Jiuling lowered his eyelids to cover up the coldness. He knew Song Qinrong's character, and the reason why he kept her by Ah Yao's side was just because he thought that the domestic dog he raised was safer than the wild wolf outside. But now that the dog wants to bite the owner, don't blame him for swinging the butcher knife.

"Hu Gui, take back the jewelry."

Hu Gui led the order to walk down the steps, held the wooden box in Yang's hand, snatched it with a slight force, and opened it on the spot to roughly count the number.

"There are still two jade bracelets missing, and a set of pearl heads."

Song Qinrong bit her lip, and the jade bracelet was accidentally broken by her. As for the pearl head, she dismantled it and made other jewelry, the largest of which was given to Ah Ci as a birthday gift, and now she is embarrassed to ask for it back.

However, there is nothing inconspicuous, the Hu family is still embarrassed, and under the secret hatred, she is even more determined to help Aci.

"Forget it," it was Ah Yao who spoke, "It's just a little thing, and I don't plan to return it after it's all sent out." It's just that my cousin was angry with Shen Moci and me, and she strongly asked to send it back several times, and there was such a big battle today. I'm afraid that if I don't accept it again, I am afraid that there will be more twists and turns in the future......"

In Ah Yao's embarrassed look, the surrounding people understood. How pitiful and pitiful Fang Cai looked, the mother and daughter of the Song family who kept saying that they were bullied by the Hu family, it turned out that the relationship between the Song family girl and the Shen family girl was very good, which was the same as the rumors some time ago.

Mrs. Song kept talking about her tutor, if she really didn't want to give it, she would secretly return it. With such fanfare, it seems like deliberately pouring dirty water on people.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if there is something wrong with the Hu family, it is all relatives who can't be locked up and say, so why embarrass people in front of the gong. The most contemptible thing is the girl of the Song family, who received so much jewelry from the girl of the Hu family, even if there is no sisterhood, for the sake of money, she should not turn her elbow out.

The direction of the wind in the crowd has changed, and this farce has developed so far, and it has gradually become clear which is right and which is wrong. It's just that most people still have a hurdle in their hearts - that's Mo Daru, how can the person he fancy be wrong?

withdrew his disdainful gaze from the mother and daughter of the Song family, and many eyes looked at Mo Daru under the tree. Some bold people even asked directly, "Mo Daru, can you tell me, which side is true?" ”

"Master." Shen Moci pleaded.

Mo Daru didn't look at her, but looked back at the young man who had just opened his mouth to ask, "You want me to make a judgment?" ”

"When...... Of course," the young man was a little excited, "all of us, hundreds of people here, are waiting there. ”

"Girl, do you think so too?" Across the crowd, Mo Daru looked at Ah Yao, who was surrounded by maids behind him.

With a tight heart, Ah Yao subconsciously raised her head, and looked through Mo Daru to see the young man in Xuanyi behind him. Between the four eyes, he raised his sword eyebrows slightly, slowly posed to her, and clearly shouted "stupid girl".

Who is stupid! The corners of her mouth grinned, and the tension in her heart disappeared a lot when he was so angry.

Facing Mo Daru again, she already had a plan in her heart. With a salute, she said respectfully: "The great Confucian talent is admired by the world, and Ah Yao naturally believes in you." ”

"Aren't you afraid of being old and helping Miss Shen?"

"You also said that it was a favoritism. If this is the case, A-Yao will ask for an immortal tablet for Mrs. Mo in Huashou Temple, and tell her about her grievances every day. ”

"This girl is really afraid of you."

Shaking his head helplessly, when he looked at everyone, Mo Daru looked solemn, "The girl of the Hu family is smart and clever, and she is innocent by nature, and she solved the problem of the orphan left by her deceased wife yesterday. The old man came to Hu Mansion today, and he wanted to accept him as the only heir on behalf of his deceased wife. ”

Although she didn't mention that she was not good at all, all kinds of praise for the girl of the Hu family reduced the girl of the Shen family on the opposite side to worthless.

Not only that, Mo Daru also personally came to the door to accept apprentices. Yesterday, the news that he accepted the Shen family girl as an apprentice came out of the post station, and Mo Daru did not show up from beginning to end. With such an obvious gap there, it is self-evident which of the two girls of Hu and Shen is more valued and has a more Confucian character.

Even though many people cast meaningful glances at Shen Moci, and the latter could still endure it, standing respectfully behind the master and making a deferential posture as an apprentice, as for how bitter and tormented she was in her heart, she could only digest it slowly, knock out her teeth and swallow blood, and she couldn't cry out for pain when she endured internal injuries.

Everyone thought that this was the end of the matter, but they didn't expect that more surprising was still to come. After Mo Daru finished speaking, Master Kukai, who had been standing beside the sedan chair with kind eyebrows, couldn't help it.

"Okay, you Mo Lao'er, I didn't tell you earlier, she was my apprentice. Girl, when we went down the mountain yesterday, we all said that you promised the old monk to go home and give his father. His Mo Daoxuan apprentice grabbed a handful, and it was not worth anything at all. Besides, my reputation is no worse than his, just then, someone slandered you, you only need to report my name, and you will never dare to say that you have a bad character. “

How could an enlightened monk suddenly become so detached...... Staring at him with a "are you stupid" expression on his face, A-Yao once again felt that her brain was a little insufficient.

"Master, Ah Yao feels that she has not yet served tea, and the status of master and apprentice has not yet been determined. It's not appropriate to rush your name like this. Grabbing the buds on her head, A-Yao was a little embarrassed.

"What's inappropriate, someone worships an apprentice and a lot of people as teachers, and they don't serve tea, so they shout and embarrass you in the name of the master. My Buddha is compassionate and pays attention to the reincarnation of cause and effect, she planted the cause, if you don't retaliate and go back, how can you help her get karmic results? ”

Can the same be said about the cycle of cause and effect? There was a smothered laughter around him, and Ah Yao stared at the boss in surprise.

The sarcastic gaze on his body became thicker and thicker, thinking about today's success and failure, Shen Moci couldn't help but sneer at each other anymore, "The master is a high-ranking monk, a person from outside the party, why should he mix with these red worlds and force a weak woman." ”

"Amitabha, this benefactor must have misunderstood, and there is someone else in what the poor monk said."

"If the monks don't speak, how can you bully Ah Ci like this." It was Song Qinrong who couldn't see it and was anxious about what Shen Moci was anxious about.

It's good that she didn't say anything, Shen Moci had already realized the trap in Master Kukai's words, and he never named him, so when she asked, she only referred to her as a "weak woman". But her words directly helped her to confirm the matter.

The embarrassed heart sank little by little, and at this moment she recalled several encounters after Hu Yao entered the academy. From morning refreshments to the belly pocket in the book, to returning the jewelry today, again and again, Song Qinrong always helps her at a critical time. It was these few times that disrupted the overall plan that she had painstakingly laid out for several years.

How did she find such an idiot! At this moment, her heart full of use for Song Qinrong turned into hatred.

While she gritted her teeth, Master Kukai had already turned her gaze to Song Qinrong, "Why is this female benefactor so sure, the poor monk said that she is a girl from the Shen family?" ”

"Who else could there be?"

"Of course," Master Kukai raised his hand, his index finger pointing at the young man in Xuanyi not far away, "For example, Jing Gongzi used to read with Mo Daru for a few days when he was a child, and he never served tea, and now he has a lot of dislike for the girl of the Shen family who is about to become a junior sister, and the person said by the poor monk...... Not sure. ”

In the little marquis's eyes full of murderous intent, Master Kukai forcibly changed his words.

"This ...... Mo Daru, Ah Ci is also your apprentice, how can you be so favoritous? ”

was bypassed by Master Kukai's words, and Song Qinrong still wanted to fight for it. Shen Moci didn't want to stay here anymore, and was ridiculed and looked at with contempt by the people of half the city over and over again.

"Ah Rong, don't say it, today's incident was a misunderstanding. Congratulations to the master for getting another good apprentice, the apprentice has something to discuss with Ping Gongzi, and if he wants to step down first, please ask the master for permission. ”

Seeing Shen Moci's miserable situation, a trace of pity rose in Mo Daru's heart: she was just a girl who was not in time, and it was a little too much to bear such rumors. But then what she said, the deep scheming and calculation in it, made him cold again. The emperor is kind to him, accepting this woman as an apprentice is just a helpless move, if he is a motivated person, he will not hesitate to advise, but such a person with unscrupulous skills, he really can't start.

Anyway, he nodded noncommittally.

After Shen Moci fled in a hurry, the follow-up completely evolved into a battle between Master Kukai and Mo Daru. In order to compete for their beloved apprentices, the two old friends put aside their identities and cultivated to fight like women in the market, regardless of their friendship, exposing each other's shortcomings.

"Mo Lao'er, everything pays attention to the first come, first come, first come, obviously I said it first. Besides, how many apprentices do you have, you can't count the ten fingers that are close to you, can you take care of them? I'm different, there are only two apprentices in this life, and I can't cover it. The Buddha said......"

"Don't say goodbye to the Buddha, wear a monk's robe every day to talk about crooked reasoning, and I'm not afraid that one day the Buddha will accept you as an old turtle. What's wrong with having more apprentices? I harvested it on behalf of Ashu, and she was the only seedling in 10,000 acres of land. Also, there are many senior brothers and many helpers, and everyone helps a little bit in case of trouble, which adds up to a lot of help. ”

The more Mo Daru spoke, the more confident he became, and he didn't notice that the young man in Xuanyi next to him had a black face because of his last words.

"Why don't you say that there are too many senior brothers, and there are too many hind legs."

"What kind of crooked melon, cracked dates, and ruffian hooligan are you my apprentice?"

"Who knows people and faces but doesn't know their hearts, who hasn't seen well-dressed beasts?"

The onlookers were dumbfounded, these two are really world-famous monks and Confucians? The quarrel is no worse than the neighbor's Hedong lion!

Also, how good is this little-known Hu family girl who has been raised in the boudoir for thirteen years to attract two such famous people to disregard face and be robbed by the public. For a while, everyone was completely sure that the girl of the Hu family must be a strange woman, and there was no doubt about her talent and character.

Shen Moci, who had not yet gone far, heard that the next person had come to report, and a fishy sweetness suddenly surged in his mouth. She has been planning painstakingly for many years, and she wanted to use Hu Yao as a stepping stone to achieve her resounding reputation, but she didn't want to come back, but she made a wedding dress for her. Qi and blood surged, she was busy covering her mouth with a handkerchief, and the white silk handkerchief was dyed with a little red plum.

And the worse thing is still to come, she hurried back to Shen's house against the rapidly spreading gossip in the streets and alleys, and as soon as she entered the backyard, she was stopped by her mother in her mother's room.

"Madame said that what the girl did hindered the reputation of the whole family, and it is better to live and recuperate during this time."

In the past few years, because she has been valued by her father, she and her aunt have also been quite face-saving in the backyard, and they are faintly on an equal footing with their mother-in-law. For this reason, her grandmother has long regarded her as a thorn in the flesh, and she finally seized the opportunity, and she naturally will not let it go.

Shen Moci was grounded in the backyard, and her biological mother, who was a concubine, was also called to the main courtyard to follow the rules of Riritachi, and she did her duty as a concubine. And Shen's father, who has always supported her, was furious under the double pressure of being pointed at every day when he went out, and even the Shen family's silk and satin business was affected, and let his mother control the backyard. The aunt's monthly money is not high, even if she has been rewarded many times because of her favor, most of the rewards have been used by her to buy people's hearts. Once out of power, Shen Moci's mother and daughter were in a worrying situation in the backyard, and even the ghee used to make dim sum had to be deducted from the monthly case when they were the strictest.

As a concubine, she has not experienced the hard days of seeing her mother's face, and she can still endure these. What she couldn't accept was that she took this opportunity to mobilize the backyard manpower to belittle and sell her people. Within a few days, her years of business power were scattered in a short period of time.

Of course, this is all a later story, at the same time as Shen Moci returned to the mansion, in front of the Hu Mansion, in front of everyone, Mo Daru and Master Kuhai quarreled over the matter of accepting apprentices.

Seeing that the two of them had not stopped for a long time, even Hu Jiuling, who was secretly happy, couldn't stand it anymore. Yesterday, Ah Yao mentioned the surprise in his heart when he mentioned the name of Master Kukai, but he didn't expect that a bigger surprise was yet to come, not only Master Kukai, but even Mo Daru wanted to take his family Ah Yao as an apprentice. In order to accept apprentices, the two even quarreled on the street.

What a face! This matter spreads, and in the future, I will see if there are any cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods who dare to say that he loves his daughter is not good at all! Out of pride in his father, but also for the long-term plan for the future, Hu Jiuling can't wait for them to fight more. But when they really fought, he couldn't bear it.

Fame......

Walking quickly between the two, he persuaded left and right: "The two are guests from afar, since it is for the little girl, why don't you go into the house and have a cup of tea, sit down and talk slowly?" ”

"What Master Hu said is reasonable."

Lu Jingyuan, who had been silent, finally spoke, with a simple single sentence, the two of them who were arguing endlessly and were almost about to stage a full martial arts exercise at the last moment, but the next moment they miraculously calmed down as if they had pressed the reset button.

"Amitabha, according to the words of the benefactor." Playing a Buddha name, Master Kukai regained the appearance of a Taoist monk.

"Then I'll bother Master Hu." Tidying up the clothes, the scholars of the Mo Da Confucian school are elegant.

Keenly aware of the changes in the relationship between the two, Hu Jiuling set his eyes on the young man in Xuanyi under the tree.

After Ah Yao came back yesterday, she told him what happened in Huashou Temple, which would make it easy for him to confirm the identity of the young man. But after confirmation, he had new doubts, and he was also aware of the undercurrents in the city in the past half a month, and several forces had secretly investigated the Hu family's industry. Now that the three of them are gathered in Hu Mansion, what are their plans?

Thinking about it in his heart, he always smiled warmly and not rudely, "Could it be that this is the young man Jing mentioned by the little girl?" ”

"It is here that I meet the uncle of the Hu family." Lu Jingyuan clenched his fists.

Between the two ordinary sentences, the two fought back and forth. Hu Jiuling asked very skillfully, he didn't mention his noble Hou Ye identity at all, but started from Ah Yao's point of view. If the young man really had plans for the Hu family, he would have some refuted when he heard such a short name.

Of course, Lu Jingyuan heard the temptation in his words, he did have plans for the Hu family, but it was not what he thought. Yu Guang glanced at the quiet girl next to him, and he simply calculated it.

The deferential gesture and words made Hu Jiuling's heart feel a little calmer, but it was only a little. Turning sideways to avoid the young man's salute, he smiled and said, "Since it's A-Yao's friend, why don't you go into the mansion and sit together?" ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

After speaking, he stepped forward, and with Hu Jiuling's gesture of invitation, Master Kukai and Mo Daru naturally followed behind him.

Seeing this, Hu Jiuling confirmed a certain guess in his heart. After personally leading the three of them into the mansion and instructing his subordinates to prepare the wing room and grooming things, he invited the young man to the study alone, and asked straight to the point, "Hu Mou saw the Marquis of Dingbei, and there were many people outside the mansion, please forgive Hu for being rude." ”

"It's okay, my name is Jingyuan, and Master Hu can call me by my name." Few ministers in Beijing dare to call him by his name, but the person in front of him is the girl's father, and he will become his elder in a few years, so it doesn't hurt to call him early.

Dingbei Hou is such a noble figure, and now that his intentions are unknown, Hu Jiuling does not dare to call him by his name no matter what.

"Jing Gongzi, Hu has something that is still unknown."

"Just as Master Hu guessed, Master Kukai and Mo Daru did come with me."

Needless to say, Master Kukai said that as for Mo Daoxuan, it was thanks to Shen Moci. If she hadn't asked King Ping to force him to touch the arrogance of the literati, even if he intended to take Ayao as an apprentice, he would not have made an outrageous move of arguing on the street.

Hu Jiuling understood that although he felt that Ah Yao was so good that even the heavenly immortals could not compare to him, but others would not think so. He would not be naïve enough to think that with Ah Yao's ability, he could make two world-famous big names so rare.

But if Dingbei Hou comes forward instead, this qiē is easy to say.

"Hu Mou is here on behalf of the entire Hu family thanks to Jing Gongzi, if you didn't show up in time, even if things can be explained clearly later, the little girl's reputation will not be so lightly preserved. The grace of dripping water is reciprocated, if the son needs it in the future, my Hu family is willing to serve the work of dogs and horses, and will never shirk within the scope of ability. ”

After saying that, Hu Jiuling hugged his fists, and before he could bow down, Lu Jingyuan hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him.

"No," this man will become his elder in the future, and he has always been magnanimous and does not stick to the number of moments of etiquette.

Thinking like this in his heart, he said another set of words, "I can't be like this Old Master Hu, this move is to repay the life-saving grace of Dongshan Courtyard eleven years ago." ”

Eleven years ago, Higashiyama Annex...... The dusty memories slowly opened, and Hu Jiuling vaguely remembered that during the Lantern Festival that year, Ah Yao, who was just two years old, found a child covered in blood next to the lotus pond in the courtyard. He still clearly remembers that in the face of the scene where adults tremble, his stupid daughter was not afraid at all, but excitedly shouted something "red child".

The child's eyes full of aggression like a wild wolf in my memory coincided with the deep but terrifying eyes of the young man in front of him. How could a half-grown child be hunted down like this? Knowing that this matter was dangerous, he ordered Hu Gui to deal with it secretly, and even Lang Zhong took the pulse through the curtain, and the only people who knew about it in the whole process were their master and servant, as well as the young man who experienced it back then.

This matter should be true, Hu Jiuling's hanging heart finally let go completely.

Seeing this, Lu Jingyuan also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. thinks that he is a genius, whether he is practicing martial arts or dealing with political affairs, he can be captured, but he will not bend his will to welcome and please people.

That girl didn't eat hard and soft, and she was very resistant to him in her previous life, so for the sake of safety, he could only start with the people around her in this life. The Song family is still easy to deal with, but Hu Jiuling is a human spirit. Fortunately, Shen Moci worked tirelessly to arrange this farce, allowing him to appear in the way of a divine soldier descending from heaven, and poured out the old things when Hu Jiuling was grateful, and finally won his trust step by step.

has always been the only one who pleases him, and the only one who can make him so troublesome in his past and present life is that stupid girl.

Sooner or later, he will get it all back from her.

"Ahh

Ah Yao, who was changing clothes in the embroidery building in the backyard, sneezed, and felt that it was colder when she didn't come.
