Cheng Chi let out an "oh" with interest and said, "Tell me, what did he do in the capital?" ”

A smile appeared at the corner of Huaishan's mouth, and he said, "I don't know what he wants to do now!" ”

Cheng Chi raised his eyebrows.

Huaishan said: "He lived in the Shangqing Palace for a while, and all day long he was mixed with the few Taoist priests who committed crimes in the Shangqing Palace and were demoted to miscellaneous labor. One of them, surnamed Yang, was a confidant of the original Shangqing Palace, and he especially liked to drink, and he bragged when he drank, always saying how talented he was when he was young, and how he was almost accepted as an introductory disciple by the Tianyi Sect of Longhu Mountain. Fan Qi didn't believe it, so he made a bet with the Taoist priest surnamed Yang, saying that if the Taoist priest surnamed Yang could make the eldest lady of the Mu family marry the uncle of the Lin family this year, he would lose 100 taels of silver to him; If the eldest lady of the Mu family can marry the uncle of the Lin family next year, he will lose thirty taels of silver to him; If the eldest lady of the Mu family can marry the uncle of the Lin family the year after tomorrow, he will invite the Taoist priest surnamed Yang to the most famous restaurant in the capital for a meal.

He also invited several Taoist priests present at the time to testify.

The Taoist priest surnamed Yang immediately responded.

"A few days later, a Taoist priest pretending to be a Tianyi Sect of Longhu Mountain passed by the Mu family, saying that the eldest lady of the Mu family had a catastrophe in her life, and if she stayed at home, her parents, brothers and sisters would be harmed. That Lord Mu is a scholar, this is about strange forces, where will he believe it? Not only did he not treat the Taoist priest surnamed Yang as a guest, but he also asked the servant to beat the Taoist priest surnamed Yang with a broom.

The Taoist priest surnamed Yang was not convinced by this tone, and discussed with a few good Taoist priests, and a few coppers found a street to ask for food, so that he quietly broke the door shaft of Lord Mu's house, but the next day the people of the Mu family pushed the door, and the door fell to the ground, which frightened the neighbors.

"A few days later, when Lord Mu came back, the sedan chair suddenly broke.

In this way, something happened for a few days in a row, Lord Mu didn't believe it, Mrs. Mu believed it, and found the master of the Shangqing Palace to help Miss Mu tell her fortune. The master of the Shangqing Palace didn't calculate that Miss Mu had any calamity, but the luck of the Mu family in the past two years was a little bad.

"Mrs. Mu took the private money and asked the Shangqing Palace to help solve it.

When the Taoist priest surnamed Yang saw that Mrs. Mu had entered the court, he grinned and bitterly bet on the one hundred taels of silver, and let him quietly tell the master about his bet with Fan Qi.

"When Mrs. Mu went to pray for the family again, the master of the Shangqing Palace said, it turned out that your daughter had a catastrophe in her life, which hindered Lord Mu's fortune. But it's okay, as long as you marry your daughter before the Chinese New Year this year, this Lord Mu's fortune will be good.

When Mrs. Mu heard this, she really had the heart to marry her daughter.

"It's just that Miss Mu is only thirteen years old this year, and she hasn't reached her age yet; Second, Master Mu doesn't believe in these at all; It's almost the New Year, and no matter how anxious you are, you can't marry Miss Mu before the year.

"Hesitantly, Mrs. Mu went to Tanzhe Temple again."

Speaking of this, Huai Shan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Fourth Master, no wonder you always say that these Taoist monks are all liars. And guess what? The monk of Natan Zhe Temple actually followed the so-called master of the Shangqing Palace, and also said that Miss Mu was destined to have a catastrophe, and it would take seven hundred and seventy-four days of dojo to resolve it.

"When Fan Qi came back, Mrs. Mu was angry with Master Mu! said that no matter what, Miss Mu must be married in the spring next year. Otherwise, Mrs. Mu will take a few children back to her parents' house. ”

Cheng Chi was a little surprised when he heard this, and said, "Then Fan Qi came back like this?" ”

"Hmm!" Huaishan said, "I gave the Taoist priest surnamed Yang twenty taels of silver, saying that I would follow the elders of the family to the capital to do business in the spring next year, and then I would go to see the Taoist priest surnamed Yang." ”

Cheng Chi gently tapped the table.

Huaishan said: "It may be the New Year, and I was afraid that the people at home would suspect me, so I had to rush back." I will send someone to pay attention, once Fan Qi makes any more moves, they don't have to show it, just send someone to follow. ”

"You have a point." Cheng Chi faintly felt that this matter should not end like this, "They went to the capital with all their hearts, and it was impossible to turn back like this." Do you continue to send people to watch and see what the hell they are going to do? ”

Huaishan promised.

Qingfeng said through the curtain: "Fourth master, the prince of Zhu Guo sent someone to send a letter from the capital. ”

In mid-October, Zhu Pengju went to the capital with his father, and in addition to their father and son, the emperor's brothers King Xiang, King Yue, King Jin, King Chu, etc., also brought their children to Beijing. The emperor left them in the capital for the New Year, and decided to hold a family banquet in the Baohe Hall to entertain these brothers and nephews who had not seen each other for many years, and set off fireworks on Chang'an Street to celebrate with the people.

Cheng Chi said: "Take the letter in!" ”

Huaishan went to pick up the letter.

Cheng Chi tore the seal of the envelope and swept it through the ten lines at a glance.

Huaishan bowed and waited to be sent.

Cheng Chi sat still and didn't move, and only after a while did he say, "Let's go to Hanbi Mountain House." ”

Huaishan responded "yes" respectfully, and hurriedly shouted "Minghe", before the words fell, he suddenly remembered that Minghe was about to get married, and he was rushing to his wedding dress in the house, and he wanted to shout Qingfeng by the way, and remembered that Qingfeng was only eight years old this year...... There is a huge hill and a large courtyard, and there is no one to change the clothes of the fourth master.

He personally went to get a piece of clothing and came over, and while serving Cheng Chi to change clothes, he said: "Fourth master, you still have to live here for two years, I think it's better to add two maids, right?" Older, just let it out before you go......"

"We'll talk about it then!" Cheng Chi was not interested, so he changed his clothes and went to Mrs. Guo.

Jiashutang, but Zhou Shaojin was persuading Cheng Yi: "...... Aren't you pushing the fireflies into the fire pit? Since you said you like her, why do you treat her like this? Do you want her to be a person in the future? ”

Half of Cheng Yi's face was swollen, red and purple, and there were finger prints, which were tied up by ropes and thrown to the ground, very wolf-like. Fortunately, he was wearing a leather jacket, otherwise in such weather, the ground was covered with bluestone floor tiles, and even if there was a brazier, it would be frozen.

He squinted at Zhou Shaojin and snorted contemptuously, "I have already broken up with you, you don't want to talk to me again." I won't listen to what you say. ”

Zhou Shaojin was so angry that he kicked him and said, "You think I like to talk to you!" I don't want to see Ji Hotaru fall into the name of 'Fox Charm Lord' and be sold, you will regret it later! ”

"Sell?!" Cheng Yi snorted coldly, "You don't scare me less!" Ji Hotaru is Uncle Chi's person, so it is not the turn of grandmother and mother to interfere. ”

Zhou Shaojin said unceremoniously: "Let me ask you, how many times have you met Uncle Chi?" How many times have you spoken? Do you know who he is? Are you so sure that if you ask Uncle Chi for someone, Uncle Chi will give you someone without any suspicion or mustard? There are so many gentlemen in the family, and it's not that no one has seen Ji Ying, why are you so anxious to ask Uncle Chi for her? ”

Cheng Yi was so anxious that he blushed and his neck was thick, and shouted: "You are talking nonsense!" You spread rumors! You have nothing to do! I have nothing with Ji Hotaru! I've only seen it once. Others don't know, don't you know? ”

"I know!" Zhou Shaojin said, "I believe in you too!" But will others believe you? ”

The corners of Cheng Yi's mouth twitched, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

Zhou Shaojin said: "Think about it!" I'll go first. Don't hurt others for the sake of your own momentary preferences! ”

Cheng Yi hung his head in silence.

Zhou Shaojin walked out lightly.

Mrs. Chu was waiting outside the curtain with bated breath, and when she saw her come out, she immediately took her arm and walked forward, until she reached the middle of the courtyard, and then stopped, and whispered: "Shaojin, thank you this time." If your cousin can turn back, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life. ”

"Auntie, you're serious." Zhou Shaojin said embarrassedly, "I also said nonsense, and I don't know if my cousin can listen to it." ”

"If you can't listen to it, it's because he doesn't know what to do." Mrs. Chu hated that iron could not be made of steel, "Your heart, but the eldest aunt has received it." Then he said lovingly, "Let's go and talk to your grandmother's house." It's cold outside, and it's stingy. ”

Zhou Shaojin nodded, and went to Mrs. Guan with Zhou Shaojin.

Old Mrs. Guan was waiting for them, and before they could stand firmly, she said anxiously: "What do you say about things that don't know whether they are dead or alive?" ”

"Didn't say anything." In the end, Mrs. Chu's heart hurt her son, and she said, "But we don't look at it like that, it's not as hard as before." ”

Old Lady Guan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and muttered, "I don't think this is a method...... Didn't you go back to your parents' house when you were in the fourth year of junior high school? Take Erlang to the old lady of the He family and see if you can leave Erlang in the He family to study......"

The old lady of the He family was a young jinshi, who had served in the Hanlin Academy, but later because he could not adapt to the climate of the north, he fell into an asthma problem, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to recuperate. He Mianzhi is his grandson, and he is also the one who followed him.

In his previous life, Cheng Yi had been studying in the Cheng clan study.

Myself...... One more thing has changed......

Zhou Shaojin endured it so that he didn't wipe the sweat on his forehead.

When Mrs. Chu heard this, she was very happy.

If the son can win the favor of the old lady of the He family, it is much better than following a bunch of people in the clan study like this.

"I listen to you." She immediately said, "I'm going to add another part of what I gave to my mother's family." ”

If it happens, this thank-you gift is indispensable.

In the Hanbi Mountain House, Cheng Chi is playing Go with Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo pondered for a long time, but still sighed and put down the black chess pieces in her hand: "I taught you Go, but now I am not your opponent for my three sons!" ”

"Blue out of blue is better than blue." Cheng Chi smiled shallowly, "Isn't this what all teachers expect from their disciples?" ”

"But there are also those who have taught apprentices to be angry with their masters." Mrs. Guo said with a smile, and it could be seen that she was in a very good mood.

Cheng Chi asked, "When will my sister-in-law leave?" If you don't leave, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with the reunion dinner of the Chinese New Year's Eve. ”

"It's too late to leave at this moment." Old man Guo looked at Cheng Chi with a smile and said pointedly, "Why don't I want her to leave early, why don't your sister-in-law want to leave early, but if she leaves, what will happen to the middle feed of the long house?" As long as she had someone who could help, I would have asked her to go to the capital to take care of your eldest brother. ”
