Chapter 244
Hearing Baoyu say that Jia Yu was not dead and was adopted by the Dongping Palace, Jia Mu was scared and sick. Jia Cong and Jia Huan sincerely spent dinner outside before returning to the house, and asked people to pull them from the gate of the house to Jia's mother's yard. The two brothers half-truths and half-truths argued, saying that Jia Huan's martial arts were all over the sky, and the treetops at the head of the wall were like walking on the ground, which scared Jia's mother more and more unable to get off the kang, and guarded the roof of the house one after another. Everyone only responded with their mouths, but they really didn't know how to guard the beams and roofs.
Jia Zheng hurriedly said: "It's better to go to Dongping Wangfu to apologize!" ”
Jia Cong pondered for a moment and said: "Since people didn't say it explicitly, they had the intention to save face in our house. Ming'er and I went to find out, apologized and forgave the crime, and admitted that this matter was not good for the reputation of the family. None of your sisters have ever been married. ”
Jia Zhenglian said, "Very, very, very."
The next day, the two of them really ran to the Dongping Palace. Naturally, it is not to apologize, but to invite merit, and to tell the old man Mu how frightened Jia Mu was. Old man Mu sighed: "Serious is revenge, your fifth uncle will naturally be able to figure it out in a few days." They all said "the old man is wise", so they played with him all day, and when they went back, they only said that the Mu family's words were vague, and they were not sure what they meant.
The trace of luck in Jia's mother was gone, and she was terrified day and night, and whenever there was a sound, she felt that an assassin had entered the house. Later, Shi Xiangyun came up with an idea to bolt many bells on the beams of the house, but someone passed through it and would inevitably ring the bells. Jia Mu immediately ordered someone to hang bells on the beam like a spider web. When the bell didn't ring, Jia Mu calmed down. As soon as the bell rang, she immediately sat up and slept peacefully, and she was ten years old after only three or five days, and according to the words of later generations, she had a nervous breakdown. Jia Cong listened to the report of the mandarin duck and sighed: "This is the living sin." If you want me to say that it is better to die early, but her old man has always had good bones, and this crime is not sure when she will be subjected. ”
As soon as Jia's mother fell ill, Mrs. Wang's spirit immediately improved, and she even spoke much more smoothly. On this day, Baoyu came to ask for peace, and Mrs. Wang took advantage of the situation and said: "Your daughter-in-law is weak, and it is inconvenient to serve you." I have two good girls here, let them go with you, and take care of you in the morning and evening, I can rest assured. Several young girls around took a breath of cold air and looked at each other secretly. Caiyun hung his head like a wooden man.
Baoyu said: "The old ancestor has just been sick, what's the matter with the addition of people around his grandson?" There are enough people in my house, and my wife doesn't have to worry about it. But my wife is sick, and it is best for someone to serve her. ”
Mrs. Wang smiled: "Isn't my maid and daughter-in-law in this room enough?" Baoyu, she is both honest, you have to treat them well. "It's a shoehorn.
Baoyu thought for a while and said, "If it's given to me, is it my person?" Am I up to the mark? ”
Mrs. Wang smiled kindly and said, "Since it was given to you, it is naturally your person, and you can say whatever you want." ”
Baoyu nodded: "In this case, my son thanks his wife for the reward." ”
Mrs. Wang couldn't help shouting with joy: "Chunlan, Qiulan!" "Two fifteen or sixteen-year-old girls with white and clean appearance were pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and kowtowed." You just follow the second master. From now on, he will be your master, and I will only hand him over to you, so that you can take care of him. ”
The two girls claimed to be together, and tears of joy came out.
Baoyu's face was unwavering, and she gave a deep salute to Mrs. Wang: "Thank you for your reward!" I also hope that my wife will be well maintained. ”
Mrs. Wang smiled: "Go back quickly, I have someone to serve here, I don't need you." ”
Baoyu saluted again, and really led the two girls away, but he didn't look at them carefully.
The two girls were ecstatic and a little apprehensive in their hearts, and followed Baoyu closely. After walking for a while, I felt that the road was wrong. The two of them looked at each other several times, Qiu Lan was bolder, and stepped forward and said, "Second master, but you are on the wrong path?" ”
Baoyu lowered his eyebrows and said, "That's right." ”
Qiulan said cautiously: "The slave looks...... Doesn't this seem to be the way back to our yard? ”
Baoyu glanced at her: "Our yard?" ”
Qiulan was taken aback when she saw his cold face, and said, "No...... It's not like the way back to the second master's yard. ”
Baoyu said "um": "This is going to the courtyard of Zhu's sister-in-law." ”
The two of them looked at each other a few more times, and suddenly they were overjoyed! Yes, the wife only casually gave them to the second master, and she never told others. Grandma Zhu is now a housekeeper, and she has to handle all the monthly money. And he rejoiced more and more.
When I arrived at Li Kun's courtyard, Li Kun personally greeted him from the back room and said with a smile: "Why did Brother Bao come to our house today?" ”
Baoyu bowed to her and said, "Sister-in-law, these two girls were given to me by my wife just now." Because my yard is small, I can't accommodate so many people, and I can't bear to refuse my wife's kindness. I came to beg my sister-in-law to let the two of them go out to get married. ”
The two maids were shocked and shouted in unison: "Second master! ”
Baoyu didn't squint and saluted again, and didn't wait for Li Kun and the two girls to make a move, and didn't even enter the house, but picked up his feet and left! The rest of the yard girls were dumbfounded.
What else does Li Kun not know? Seeing that the two girls were about to chase, they hurriedly ordered someone to stop them. Seeing that Baoyu was gone, the two girls were frightened and cried loudly.
Li Kun glanced at them a few times and said, "What are you crying for?" Isn't it better to go out and marry than to stay in the house and be a girl? You all look good, but you're afraid that your husband won't like it? He sighed again, "Look, the clouds are twenty years old, and they haven't been released yet." ”
Qiulan choked up and said aggrievedly: "Mrs. allowed my two aunts." ”
Li Kun sneered: "Aunt Bai is not dead yet." ”
The two maids shivered in unison. After a while, Chunlan whispered, "There is a wife......
Li Kun looked at her and said, "Does my wife live long or does Grandma Bao live long?" My wife can't get out of bed yet, who knows if she can make decisions for anyone in the future. Do you know why my ancestor fell ill? Baoyu is for your own good. Otherwise, would he be guilty of keeping you alive or dead? ”
The gossip of Rongguofu has always spread quickly. The old lady killed her aunt and grandmother in her early years and the grandfather and concubine of the previous country, everyone who should know about it. The two maids looked at each other for a long time, and then fell to their knees, saying no more.
The head Baoyu went back to his yard, only doing nothing, and never mentioned half a sentence to Xiangyun.
Two more days passed, and the . clicked on the letter, Jia Yu has found out the case record of the year. The one who killed Zhu Tong's father and Prince Yizhong's little son was actually a monk, and his legal name was Ming, and he lived in the Tianqi Temple outside the west gate of the capital. The temple was built in the previous dynasty, and in recent years it has gradually become dilapidated and desolate. Jia Cong knows about this temple, and in the original book, there is a Taoist priest "Wang Yitie" who specializes in false advertising, and he is mixed there. It's just that the signboard in their temple has a "temple", which is really a monk and a Taoist, which is quite mixed.
Jarvis doesn't like to talk, so he sighed first when he heard the letter: "It's actually a monk." ”
Jia Cong said: "The people who don't protect the family are the killers who come out later. ”
Jarvis shook his head and said, "Since you are a child of the Buddhist family, how can you kill." ”
Jia Huan said: "He really responded to that sentence." The world has the law of both, and it lives up to the Lord. ”
Then he called everyone to gather in Liu's timber shop and told him about it.
Zhu Tong was stunned for a long time: "Monk?!" He gritted his teeth and said, "In vain, I sometimes think that after all, each is his own master." If you don't kill this person, you can't live with the Buddha. ”
"Huh?" Jia Cong was surprised, "Have you ever thought about each being his master?" Oh, Zhu Tong, you are such a good person! I used to think that you and Gong Kun were almost scoundrels, but I was wrong. ”
In recent days, Gong Kun has been living with Gong Sanyi to take care of the old man's injuries, and today he called him over to discuss important matters, and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhu, Gong was originally a humble gentleman, but because of his lord, he gradually became like this. ”
Jia Huan also said: "In the past, I was also Shi Qiusheng's temperament. ”
Jia Cong glanced at him: "In the past, your temperament was similar to that of your brother, but you were younger and less calm than him." After so many years, you have long been about the same skin as me, why is he still the same as he was back then? ”
Jia Huan opened his mouth to refute, Qin Keqing coughed, and Jia Huan didn't dare to say anything. Liu Xianglian laughed beside her.
Jia Cong said: "The news that my fifth uncle got from the end, this monk's kung fu is extremely high, and it is not something that ordinary people can deal with, and a scholar like Zhu Tong doesn't need to think about it." And Tianqi Temple is a mixed place, and there are no characters next to it. ”
Gong Kun asked, "Can Luo Tainiang check it out?" ”
Jia Cong said: "I have checked, and the ones next to me are all ordinary, but there is only one weird." This monk is content with poverty but good tea. Tea is one of the things that burns money. Although this Guiming Buddhism is mediocre, there is always a donor who gives him good tea. Everyone smiled softly. He continued, "The Tianqi Temple itself can't find anything. The more ordinary the place, the safer, and the people are the important killers of the imperial court. ”
Gong Kun asked: "According to what the fifth master said, what about that Guiming Kung Fu?" Is there an analogy? ”
Jia Cong said: "Ten horizontal and vertical we are not opponents. Nai looked at Zhu Tong, "Do you have to take revenge with your own hands or kill him?" ”
Zhu Tong said: "If you kill your father's revenge, I will do it myself." ”
Jia Cong clapped his hands and said, "That's the matter between you and Gong Kun." This person is powerful, unless we wait for Old Man Gong to recover, otherwise our remaining group of big shrimp and small shrimp are not opponents. Liu Xianglian coughed twice, but Jia Cong didn't hear it.
Gong Kun said: "His enemy, naturally he thinks of ideas." I can't think of it, I'll think again. ”
Zhu Tong said indifferently: "It's not difficult to know who it is." ”
Gong Kun said with a smile: "Sit back and wait for Mr. Gao Mou." ”
Jia Cong, Jia Huan, and Liu Xianglian stretched out their three hands to the last piece of walnut cake at the same time.
A few days later, a pilgrim Tong Xiucai came to Tianqi Temple, saying that he had come to repay his wishes. Although this temple is broken, it still prepares a lot of paper horses, money and food every day for pilgrims to pass. That Tong Xiu was a foreign scholar who went to Beijing to study, and after burning incense, he took a stroll in the temple. Although his clay statue was hideous, this person was not afraid and watched it slowly. retreated to the Taoist courtyard to rest, and met the old Taoist priest Wang who was in charge here, which was the "Wang Yiti" mentioned by Jia Cong. This person was originally a warlock, and he was used to talking to all kinds of people, but when he saw this Tong Xiucai, he also said two sentences of poetry, and coaxed a few incense money.
Tong Xiucai said: "I heard that Wang Daochang's plaster can cure all diseases, but can there be a patch that can cure fear?" ”
Wang Yiti looked him up and down and said, "Xiucai is afraid of guilt? I can't see it. ”
Tong Xiucai waved his hand and said, "It's not a late birth." In his later years, he traveled to Beijing, and the entanglement brought by his family gradually ran out, and he was shy in his pocket, and now he works as a tent in a shop to make a living. The proprietor is bold and generous, whenever he goes out with him, he pays for us a little money, and he also pays the bill when he eats and drinks outside. There is only one thing. The proprietor is afraid of the inside, and never wants to go to the flower building, and every time I go to the flower building with my friends, I have to pay for my own money. If only the owner could not be so afraid of his daughter-in-law. ”
The little Taoist priest who was waiting for the tea showed disdain on his face, but the king did not show half of it, and clapped his hands and said, "This is easy." Use an excellent autumn pear, two coins of rock sugar, one money tangerine peel, and three bowls of water, and the pear is ripe. It's good to eat such a pear every morning and eat it back and forth. ”
Tong Xiucai pointed at him and said, "What an old Taoist priest, come to coax people again." This is just an ordinary rock sugar pear, clearing heat and quenching thirst, relieving lung fever, coughing, throat itching and phlegm, and what to do with fear. ”
Wang Yiti smiled: "It turns out that Xiu only knows this!" So how about I change the regimen to the other side? Sweet and delicious does not hurt people, people who have eaten a hundred years old are going to die, and what are you afraid of when you die! That's when it worked. ”
Tong Xiucai shook his head and said, "The strange Taoist said that you are a flamboyant bullhead." ”
As he was talking, the curtain of the door was lifted, and an extremely beautiful woman came out of it, and Tong Xiucai couldn't help but follow others all the way with his eyes. The woman bowed slightly to Wang Yiti and left, but Wang Yiti stood up and made a mockery. The woman had just gone out, and Tong Xiucai turned her head to look at Wang Yiti and shook her head shyly and said, "You Taoist priest is so dishonest, there is such a charming and handsome little lady hidden in the house~~"
As soon as the words fell, only to hear the sound of "dang", Tong Xiucai didn't have time to move, and felt that something flew over his scalp and fell to the ground. When he unconsciously reached out and wiped it, a small piece of hair on his forehead was cut off by the roots! couldn't help but open his mouth and look at Wang Yiti in horror. Wang Yiti stretched out his hand and pointed to the ground, only to see a copper coin that slipped on all sides and turned on the green brick, and it didn't stop.
Tong Xiucai was shocked! "This, this, this...... Who is this woman? ”
Wang Yiti "shh That woman is Qin Sangu, the treasurer of Qin Da, a tyrant in the west of the city. Although she is a widow, her man was amazing back then, and she was a well-known hero! This woman learned all her kung fu from him, and the career left by her husband became bigger and bigger. Do you dare to tease with her? Isn't it a search for death? ”
Tong Xiucai suddenly said: "It turns out that she is Qin Sangu!" She has been famous for a long time, and our proprietress looks down on her. ”
Wang Yiti said: "Your boss lady must be very tight. ”
"Isn't it!" Tong Xiucai was full of interest, and Fang Cai's fright had already been thrown away, "Our boss lady is also very tight, no wonder the boss treats her like a baby." ”
Wang Yiti hit the case and said: "I'll just say, a man who is afraid of guilt, his wife is either a shrew or a beauty!" ”
The two of them talked about the market for a long time, and Tong Xiucai finally remembered his hair: "Oops! It will take a long time for it to grow! Unsightly tight, how is it good. ”
Wang Yiti looked at him and said, "Xiucai doesn't see sorrow. ”
Tong Xiucai said with a smile: "I won't take a scientific examination next year, it's not in the way, it's just a matter of letting the guys laugh a few times, just find an excuse at will." This shopkeeper Qin is really a beauty, and he said that it was a few hairs, even if she stabbed her, I would be happy. ”
Wang Yiti only laughed and said that he was "cowardly". After a few more words, Tong Xiucai said goodbye and left.
Who knew that he had just left for only half an hour, and the sound of horses' hooves outside sounded, and it was Zhao Cheng, the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, who personally led the people! It turned out that Fang Cai found a piece of yellow paper in the thatched toilet of the yamen, on which was written in blood: "The evil monk of Tianqi Temple returned to kill me, and he will not return to the underworld if he does not avenge this revenge." "And there is a bloody handprint of a baby. Zhao Cheng was shocked, and immediately ordered him to check, and it was indeed human blood. Fearing that it was a complaint from an unjust soul, Zhao Cheng hurriedly came to Tianqi Temple to check what was going on.
