The Hou Ye Mansion in the capital is located on East Street, and the carriage drove through a wide road and stopped at the gate of the Hou Mansion.

Lin Ling didn't have time to carefully observe this legendary mansion comparable to the imperial palace, so a housekeeper led the three of them in.

Walking through the carved beams and paintings, the pavilion corridor, and soon arrived at the main hall, the old housekeeper smiled gently: "Ma Daopo, please inside, the old lady is waiting." ”

Ma Daopo looked restrained, but she deliberately turned her head back at Lin Ling and Ma Xiaoge, who was also cramped and uneasy on the other side, and said in a low voice: "You two girls behave, if you make the old lady unhappy, I won't pick your skin when I go back!" ”

Lin Ling nodded hurriedly, it had been almost half a year since she came to ancient times, and this was the first time she had seen such a big scene.

Half a month ago, she was in Quanzhou, living in a leaky mud house, wearing shabby clothes that could not be repaired, eating unoiled meals, and squeezing a bed with others at night, she lived this life for nearly half a year. She hated and repulsed, but she had to fit in, just to give herself a better life.

And half a year ago, she was in the modern era of traffic, she had just found a good job, but she lost her foot and rolled down the stairs, and as soon as she woke up, she was in this era. The closest people to her are Ma Daopo and Ma Xiaoge, Ma Daopo is the benefactor of this body, Ma Xiaoge is the only daughter of Ma Daopo, and the pillar of the family died early. I don't know what the origin of this body is, anyway, I fainted at the door of Ma Daopo's house a few years ago, and I was saved by Ma Xiaoge, and after I woke up, I worked hard to help support my family at Ma's house.

By chance, she discovered that she had the ability to predict the future.

Ma Daopo was originally a fortune teller to support her family, and with Lin Ling's help, the family's economy soon improved, but she had unpaid foreign debts, so that her life had been embarrassed.

But fortunately, because of Lin Ling, Ma Daopo's reputation as a "divine operator" quickly spread, and even spread to the capital. This time, the old lady of the Hou Mansion sent someone from Quanzhou to pick up Ma Daopo, which was nothing more than hoping that Ma Daopo could personally do a ritual, and then calculate the future fortune of the Hou Mansion.

Ma Daopo attaches great importance to this matter and feels that this is a critical moment to change the fate of the Ma family.

Facing the warm smile of Mrs. Shanghou, Ma Daopo smiled: "The grass people salute the old lady." ”

Mrs. Hou Ye is not old, she looks like she is in her thirties, but after Hou Ye died, she automatically changed her title. She lightly ordered someone to give tea to the seat, glanced at Lin Ling and Ma Xiaoge, and said with a smile: "The two children are also tired all the way, I have arranged a wing room and let them rest first." ”

It was Lin Ling's ability to predict future things that made Ma Daopo have a statement, how could she let Lin Ling go? So he immediately said: "Old lady, don't look at them small, but they are my right-hand man, solving disasters for the old lady, and the grass people dare not slack off." ”

"There's no urgency." Old Madam Hou waved her hand, "You should first raise your spirits today, and I will arrange the affairs of the practice tomorrow." ”

Ma Daopo blushed, nodded loudly, took Lin Ling and Ma Xiaoge out, and followed a big girl to the backyard.

"Girl, where are you taking us?" After walking for about half a cup of tea, all I saw were flourishing flowers and trees, Ma Daopo was so tired that she wanted to sit on the big rock, but she was afraid of losing face.

The big girl pursed her lips and smiled: "Just call me Phantom Winter." The backyard of the Hou Mansion is very large, and I am afraid that it will be troublesome for the Taoist to walk for a while. You don't have to walk wholeheartedly, the flowers in this yard are blooming just right, and you can enjoy it while walking, isn't it right? ”

Ma Daopo planted all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables outside the earthen house in Quanzhou, and in summer and autumn, the branches and leaves were luxuriant, and the flowers were blooming, which was not much worse than the garden scenery in this Hou Mansion. But Ma Daopo still made an interested look, pulled Lin Ling and said, "Don't you just like some flowers and grasses, you can see it now!" ”

Lin Ling really likes to make flowers, when he was in Quanzhou, looking at the four-walled house, Lin Ling wanted to get some decoration, so every few days he would go out to pick wild flowers and put them in a bottle at home. Lin Ling breathed hard a breath of fresh air, mixed with a faint fragrance of flowers, which was really comfortable.

"This one is beautiful, and there is this one!" Ma Xiaoge ran into the flower yard, looked at the beautiful flowers and picked them off, "Xiaoling, the flowers here are red and big, much more beautiful than the flowers on the back mountain!" ”

Phantom Winter's face turned white instantly, and he said anxiously: "These flowers can only be seen but not picked, stop quickly!" ”

Ma Xiaoge didn't care how anxious the girl was, while picking the flowers, he said slowly: "Isn't it for people to pick flowers when they grow?" Otherwise, when it comes to autumn, wouldn't it be a pity that all these flowers are gone? ”

Lin Ling hurriedly pulled Ma Xiaoge out, lowered his voice and said, "This is a big family that specially grows flowers for the ladies and ladies to watch, and they can't be picked!" ”

Ma Xiaoge listened to Lin Ling's words very much, and hurriedly threw those flowers into the grass, patted his chest and said, "You didn't say it earlier!" ”

"You dead girl, how many times have I told you, let you keep it!" Ma Daopo scolded angrily and poked Ma Xiaoge's head.

Phantom Dong is the big girl next to Mrs. Hou, so she naturally knows Mrs. Hou's intention to invite Ma Daopo to the capital, and she doesn't dare to offend. With a calm face, he picked up the flowers in the grass and handed them to Ma Xiaoge, and said, "Miss should take it, since you have picked it, you will pick it, just don't do it in the future." ”

"That's nature, girl, continue to lead the way!" Ma Daopo smiled and pushed Phantom Dong forward, not forgetting to glare at Ma Xiaoge.

Ma Xiaoge squeezed his eyebrows indifferently, and secretly pulled Lin Ling and said: "This Hou Mansion is really big, when it is settled, let's go out and visit the garden, I like these flowers so much......"

"Stop!" Before Ma Xiaoge's words were finished, there was a sudden loud shout, which was the woman's angry voice.

Phantom Winter hurriedly blessed herself: "The slave maid has seen Master Hou and Miss." ”

Lin Ling raised his head and saw a man and a woman standing at the fork in the road in front of them, both of them were dressed in brocade, and there was a group of maids behind them, these were the two little masters of the Hou Mansion. Mrs. Hou Ye had a total of this son and a daughter, Hou Ye died early, and the only sister-in-law, Qin Yiyan, inherited the Hou throne and took care of the Hou Mansion in an orderly manner.

When Lin Ling turned out what he knew in his mind, Qin Keke, the only lady in the Hou Mansion, pushed away Phantom Dong, walked straight to Ma Xiaoge, snatched the flower from her hand, and shouted, "Who are you?" Dare to pick Miss Ben's flowers! Don't die, don't you! ”

"Little ...... Miss, these flowers fell to the ground, so the slave maid picked them up for Miss Ma to play with......" Phantom Winter explained weakly on the side.

"Who told you to answer?" Qin Keke stared at Phantom Winter coldly, then looked at the flowers in his hand, and smiled coldly, "Such flowers will fall to the ground, so won't all the flowers in my yard be thanked?" ”

Only then did Ma Xiaoge know the reason why Phantom Winter stopped her, but the flowers had already been picked, and there was no other way, so he could only say: "I don't know this time, and I will definitely not pick flowers again in the future." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Ma Daopo was also frightened, "Miss has a lot, and let her go, I'll beat her when I go back!" ”

Qin Keke played with the flowers in his hand, and said with a gloomy face: "I said before, if anyone dares to pick my flowers, the first thing is to beat her a hundred boards, and then expel her from the Qin Mansion!" ”

"Coco, that's enough, it's just a few flowers!" The man who had not spoken suddenly spoke, his face full of impatience.

The man had been standing quietly on the side of the road, his eyes not looking at this side, and the paper fan in his hand was shaking irregularly.

Lin Ling looked at the man with some consternation, this man was inevitably too good-looking, better than any star she had seen in modern times. But the situation in front of him was not optimistic, and Lin Ling didn't dare to look more, so he hurriedly looked away.
