The wheels are rolling and driving slowly along the bluestone avenue down the mountain. Seven or eight shouting mules with carts all had brass bells around their necks, and the crisp bells rang all the way. This is the convoy of the Zongzheng family returning home, regardless of whether the master's family or the servant is full of joy.

Zongzhengjia left relatively late, just because the wing room where the old lady lived came and went, and there were always more than a dozen groups of people rushing to the door. Ladies and ladies and ladies who know or don't know, who are kind faces or complete strangers, seem to have made an appointment, and they have come to congratulate Mrs. Ren, and invite her to take her granddaughter to visit the house under various names.

Mrs. Ren was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and her mouth was so cold with these ladies and wives that her mouth was dry, and the corners of her forehead even sweated. The two sisters, Zong Zhengyu and Zong Zhengyue, who were in charge of entertaining the ladies and girls, were also busy and did their best to entertain these guests. Fortunately, the Temple of Mercy and Grace is extremely cooperative, whether it is tea or snacks, everything is compliant.

This is all because Venerable Su Hui deliberately went to see Old Lady Ren in person before leaving. Zongzheng is so Buddha-like, in addition to Fa Xiang, he also got the hand-copied Buddhist scriptures of the Supreme Trend, which is really enviable. If you don't know the Buddha's fate, it's best not to force it, there will always be people whose family background is above the Zongzheng family racking their brains to take away the Buddhist scripture!

In addition to congratulations and invitations, the distinguished guests who came to visit always had a question in their words - who was the third girl who could get such a special encounter from the Zongzheng family? There were even Mrs. and Mrs. knocking on the side to find out about the marriage of the three girls.

Although Mrs. Ren was upset, she still coped with it appropriately on the surface. When Venerable Su Hui handed over the Buddhist scriptures to her and asked her to hand them over to Zong Zhengke, so many people were present, and this matter could not be hidden. But she didn't want Zong Zhengke's limelight to completely suppress the two sisters, so when answering the questions of the ladies and wives, she couldn't help but focus on Zong Zhengke's bleak life experience - both parents were lost, the body was weak and hard, and the cultivation was carried out.

Finally sent away the distinguished guests who came in a hurry and returned in defeat, and the old lady Ren rested for a while, and Zong Zhenglun came to urge him to pack up and go home. Mrs. Ren was not happy at first, but she felt very tired, and thought that she would have lunch at the Temple of Mercy and Grace before leaving.

Zong Zhenglun didn't need to bother to speak, he only frowned with a calm face and said, "The king of Yuyan County is still in Sanqingguan. The old lady Ren was bluffed into turning pale, and ordered someone to clean up quickly and go home immediately. That old pervert with a human face and a beast's heart, he couldn't afford to provoke him, so he had to hide quickly.

It's a pity that people are in their eyes, how can they let it go? Zongzheng is extremely sad, and disaster falls from the sky. Halfway down the mountain, the convoy was stopped. Zong Zhenglun immediately stepped forward to inquire, and when he came back in a moment, he told the old lady that the frame of the prince of the county and the princess of the county would come over immediately, and let everyone quickly get out of the car and kneel to greet him.

Mrs. Ren didn't dare to slack off, so she quickly got off the mule cart and knelt in front of her, behind her was Zong Zhenglun, and then behind were the two sisters Zong Zhengyu and Zong Zhengyue. The servant women's entourage was not even qualified to kneel in front of them, so they could only kneel on the mountain, forest and meadow behind the convoy.

Just kneeling here, more than a dozen horsemen from the palace who were blocking the road came over, and a leader with a helmet and armor sat high on his horse, shouting that the soldiers beat the mules and horses pulled by the sect politician and drove these mules and horses to the mountains and forests to hide.

These guards of the palace were like wolves and tigers, and they were merciless, and they whipped those fat and strong mules and horses to the flesh with a few lashes. For a time, the forest was filled with the neighing of mules and horses, the rolling of vehicles that had been pulled to the ground, and the angry rebuke of the guards.

The coachmen were all kneeling in the mountains and forests, losing their restraints and suffering again, and even the most well-trained mules and horses had to run wild. These guards deliberately made it bad, deliberately driving the chariots and horses to trample on the place where the family was kneeling. Frightened Mrs. Ren into a pale, got up and hugged Zong Zhengyu and Zong Zhengyue tightly in her arms. The two sisters were afraid of being like chaff, lest the horses' hooves step on them.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zong Zhenglun hurriedly got up, climbed to the leader of the guards who was watching the excitement with his chest on his side, bowed and said good things one after another, and then handed over a few silver tickets with a denomination of one hundred taels.

The leader of the guards took the silver ticket, and then waved his hand to stop the guards who were messing around, and said to Zong Zhenglun in a weird manner: "Didn't you say...... The girl in the house is valued by the Venerable Buddha Kingdom? Why don't you see the Buddha's light shining here?! ”

Zong Zhenglun thought that Princess Sun, who was still jealous, was deliberately rubbing her family, and said with a smile: "This general, you are laughing, His Holiness is just a little merciful when he sees the pity of his niece and nephew." The Buddha blessed the prince and the princess. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the guards raised his hand and whipped Zong Zhenglun. Zong Zhenglun screamed in pain, rolled on the ground several times before hitting his head on a big tree on the side of the road, and a big bag immediately rose on his forehead, and the person did not faint.

The leader of the guards scolded: "Mouth full of feces! Our prince worships the ancestor of the Three Qing Dao, respects the immeasurable Tianzun, and asks for immortality, how can there be any Buddha! Don't hurry up and shut up, otherwise Hugh blames General Ben for being unkind! ”

Old lady Ren screamed, let go of her two granddaughters, stumbled over, helped Zong Zhenglun up and hugged her in her arms, and cried: "Boss, boss, what's wrong with you?" She glared angrily at the leader of the guards, but saw that the leader of the guards had a pair of thief eyes, only staring at his granddaughter who was like pearls and jade, and she was even more anxious and afraid.

Zong Zhenglun shook his dizzy head, trying to sober himself up. He knew that if he couldn't stand it at this time, his mother and daughter would probably suffer a great disaster. He shook his hands and pinched himself hard, the pain distorted his face even more, and the tears of the old lady Ren fell straight from her eyes.

"General, this general, it's the villain who said the wrong thing, please calm the general's anger!" Zong Zhenglun endured humiliation, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed to the leader of the guards again and again, his lowered face was full of hideous hatred.

"Humph! Kneel down! The leader of the guards didn't dare to rub any more. In the end, this politician's big house is a high-ranking official in Beijing, and the old man in the third room is also seeking revenge. If it's too much, people don't dare to take the palace or do it, and if they really want to clean him up, it won't take much effort. Not to mention...... He glanced at the pair of sisters who had almost fainted when they hugged each other......

"Yes, yes, yes! Thank you, General Haihan. Zong Zhenglun, supported by the old lady Ren, limped up, and stuffed a few more silver tickets to the leader, and then whispered to the old lady Ren and her daughters to kneel down. He turned his face to look at his pair of pearls in his palms, his intestines were about to turn green, so he could only lower his voice and said: "Sister Yu, Sister Yue, lie on the ground, don't raise your face no matter what." ”

Zong Zhengyue's body shook, and his body, which was already about to soften, fell to the ground even more. The leader of the guards heard Zong Zhenglun's instructions, just sneered, left two horses in the same place, and left with the rest of the guards to ride their horses to meet the king.

Just now they said that they would arrive soon, but the Ren family knelt down and waited for more than half an hour before they heard the movement of the Pure Dao Whip and the sound of the Dao Gong. The sharp and clear sound of the whip in the air alternated with the low and peaceful sound of the gong, shaking the branches of this mountain forest to a rattle, and many birds and beasts flew away in fright.

After hearing the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone slabs and the sound of wheels rolling, the four of the Zongzheng family almost fell to the ground. In a short time, the king's guard of honor came closer. After the guard of honor, it was the king of the six horses who sat in the car, followed by the princess's incense car.

It took a quarter of an hour for the long motorcade to pass by. It's also strange that the whole train fleet is frighteningly quiet, and there is no rumored movement of the king of Yuyan when he travels.

It is said that no matter where the old prince goes, he will carry more than a dozen beauties in that luxurious carriage. Walk all the way, play all the way. The waves, the sounds, the waves, and the words can be heard three miles away; The smell of fat powder can be sent out for ten miles.

Anyway, it's over. It wasn't until he couldn't hear any sound that Zong Zhenglun quietly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat that didn't stop flowing from the corners of his forehead, and stood up slowly.

Tiptoeing to look at the direction where Wang Jia was going, he turned around and picked up the old lady Ren, and said in a hoarse voice, "Mother, get up." He said hello again and again, and the servants who had been frightened like quails just now hurried to get the car ready.

Mrs. Ren's whole body is weak, and she has to rely on Zong Zhenglun's support to stand on her feet. She looked at her son, who described the wolf Bèi, with tears in her eyes, choking up so much that she couldn't speak.

Zong Zhenglun comforted: "Mother, my son is fine, a little injured." He also called the two daughters to help the old lady together. Zong Zhengyu and Zong Zhengyue also helped each other to get up and helped their father to help their grandmother to the car.

Qiu Tang and Qiu Rong, who were serving Mrs. Ren, hurried over and helped put Mrs. Ren in the car. When the curtain was lifted, several people were stunned. I saw that there was a mess inside, things were lifted everywhere, and it was obvious that someone had just gotten into the car. Mrs. Ren was frightened and woke up, and hurriedly sent Qiu Tang to see if the hand-copied Buddhist scripture was still there.

Fortunately, the Buddhist scriptures were stored in the secret compartment under the mattress of this cart, otherwise I am afraid that they would be lost along with the dozen or so pieces of jewelry placed in the baggage. Those jewelry were all worn by the old lady every day, and Zong Zhenglun asked people to take them from home, but this time they were all gone.

Zong Zhenglun said: "Even if it is to destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster, it is better to look back and respect you for your son." The old lady nodded weakly, did not speak, and when the girls quickly cleaned up, she lay down, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Zong Zhenglun instructed his two daughters to take care of Mrs. Ren, and then got out of the car to direct the convoy that was almost broken up to get back on the road. It's a pity that after just half an hour of walking, the front was blocked again. It was still the leader of the guards just now, nodding and hunching with an old woman.

This heart sank little by little, Zong Zhenglun was helpless, and he had to accompany the smiling face to ask immediately, and after a while, people re-got into the old lady's car with a dead face.
