On the second day, everyone in the house knew that Aunt Liu was grounded by Xiangye for a month, and the responsibility of taking power was handed over to Ah Qi temporarily.

"Not necessarily." Some people disagree with this statement.

"What's not necessarily, Xiangye has punished Aunt Liu, doesn't everything have a result?" A subordinate is very unclear, what else is there to say.

"Grounding is not any other punishment." The man said, "I have heard some old people mention that hawthorn is harmful, but it does not work so quickly, and there must be a reason for this. ”

"Which side are you on?" Someone was unconvinced: "Aunt Liu is grounded, do you still want to catch up with the whiskers and shoot the horse, and you are not afraid of the horse's fart slapping the horse's legs?" ”

As soon as these words came out, several subordinates looked at the man's eyes with bad intentions.

"You know what!" The man's face turned red when he was said, and he retorted: "Aunt Liu is the only one in the house, in charge of all things in the house, not to mention anything else, only grounded for a month, and it's not that it can't be untied, don't be short-sighted and find another way, when Aunt Liu comes out, you will look good." ”

As soon as the words fell, the faces of several subordinates changed instantly, they were said to be in their hearts, how could they still have a good face.

Ah Qi had experience in managing the internal affairs of the house before, and this time he returned to his hands, naturally there will be no mistakes, first of all, let those people who chew the root of their tongues take care of their mouths, don't say anything, and break the rules of the house.

In order to warn his subordinates, Ah Qi grabbed a girl ring who was talking nonsense in public, and taught the people below the deepest lesson of killing chickens and monkeys, and only then stopped the leisurely crowd of people below.

Now Zuo Zhen and Aunt Liu can be said to have completely torn their faces, the two like enemies will no longer be happy on the surface of the past, the relationship between the two people on the surface is gone, and it is difficult to say what will happen to the two who no longer need to act.

When Zuo Zhen first heard the punishment for Aunt Liu's wrongdoing, her face suddenly turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and on the surface, she gave herself a fair result, and punished Aunt Liu for thinking about it behind closed doors, but in essence, she didn't hurt Aunt Liu in the slightest, so how could she swallow this breath.

"Miss, don't be angry, it's not good for your body." The nurse next to her stepped forward and persuaded: "This is what Xiangye meant, in order to let Miss rest and calm down, no matter how you say that although Liu's is not a wife on the surface, she has been a veritable housewife over the years, even if you want to deal with it, it has to be Xiangye's speech, and then there is Liu's daughter but the princess's side concubine, no matter how Xiangye punishes, he will leave some face for Liu's family, and now he has seized Liu's power, Miss can rest at ease, recuperate, and beg her uncle after a while, and her aunt will read that Miss has been wronged, Maybe he will persuade Xiangye to let Miss take over the reins of the house. ”

Zuo Zhen felt a lot more comfortable when she heard this, she and Aunt Liu staged a harmonious and harmonious situation, in order to take over the power of the house, and now that she has this opportunity, how can she let it go. Now that she and Aunt Liu are completely out of control, there is no need to act again in the future, even if they are-for-tat, no one will say anything, and she is not at fault at all.

"A month is not long, but it is not short." Zuo Zhen thought about it and felt that it was not cost-effective, what if Aunt Liu couldn't stay for a month and was released?

The nurse saw the sad look between Zuo Zhen's eyebrows and said, "Even if the Liu family is released, it may not be able to take over the power of the family again." "In that case, it can be punished, and it makes people see a joke in vain.

"Then let Aunt Liu never step out of the water for the rest of her life!" Zuo Zhen's eyes were full of cruelty, and he said: "Then I can become the only hostess in this mansion." ”

This Aunt Liu, who heard that she was grounded and had to hand over power, was very angry, but the little girl Ah Qi who came to the ceremony revealed to herself what Xiang Ye did like this. And bluntly told Aunt Liu that the grounding is for people outside, as long as Aunt Liu is good, there is no need to be grounded for a month for so long, as for the power of the housekeeper can also be returned to the hands again, after all, the affairs of the house have been in charge of Aunt Liu for many years, it is not so easy to take over, Xiang Ye's original words at the time were to let Ah Qi temporarily take over the responsibility of the housekeeper, and did not say that it will be in the future, which made Aunt Liu, who was unhappy, instantly feel a lot better, as long as Xiang Ye knew in his heart that he was wronged, it was worth it more than anything.

Aunt Liu voluntarily took such charges, just waiting for revenge in the future, and it was not something that she Zuozhen could count if she said it alone.

The breeze swayed slowly, the surface of the lake sparkled like a large lake, and the boats that came to raft seemed to dot the lake, and the laughter from the boats from time to time made pedestrians stop.

"Master, do you want to go to the lake?" Hongming stepped forward and asked Xichao, who was sitting in front of the window and looking out.

"No, you don't." Xi Chao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, she didn't like to go to a crowded place very much, and there were many people.

Fengyang Tower is located on the shore of Liuyang Lake, just because this lake is a rare place to find beautiful scenery in the city, and people come and go endlessly, which is the most suitable for the business of this restaurant.

Xichao and his entourage arrived at this city, sat in the private room near the lake on the second floor, and opened the window to take in the beautiful scenery of the entire Liuyang Lake.

"Master." Hongrui came in at this time and replied in a low voice: "Something big and small happened in the house. Then he brought the grievances between Zuo Zhen and Aunt Liu together.

"Oh, such a thing?" Hongming found it very interesting.

"In fact, the truth is that Zuo's fetus was not stable in less than a month, and he didn't know that he was pregnant, so he happened to go to have a family meal with Aunt Liu, and ate some hawthorn pastries prepared by Aunt Liu. Hongrui laughed as she spoke, "It's not peaceful in this house." ”

"It's up to the two of them to make trouble, and it's not a fuel-efficient lamp." Hong Ming could not see it most clearly, "The two of them tore their faces, and there will be such things in the future, just as an interesting thing to amuse the master." ”

"That's right." Hongrui smiled undiminished and looked at her master.

"You can't be careless in the house." Xi Chao admonished.

"Master rest assured, the secret guards are always keeping an eye on the movements of the mansion and will not miss anything." Hong Ming has already warned that with the ability of the dark guards, there will be nothing that cannot be controlled.

"Things are almost done here, when will we start?" Hong Ming asked, the two of them have been looking for the city for more than a month, and most of the affairs during this time are helped by Xu Chenlin, and it is a lot neater to do things.

"Two days later." Xichao silently calculated the time and decided when to travel.

"Xu Gongzi has been busy going in and out for a few days, I don't know if the Xu family's shop is in order?" Hongrui was afraid that Xu Chenlin's relationship would delay the days and disrupt the plans of the Xi Dynasty.

"We can get out first." Xi Chao didn't care if Xu Chenlin could do his best, and it would be okay to arrive in the evening for a day or two.

Hong Ming suddenly thought of something and said, "The master just took advantage of these two days to go out for a walk. ”

"Where to go?" Before Hongming finished speaking, Hongrui interrupted beside him.

"It's better to go to the Buddhist temple to worship and ask for a peace charm or something." There is a reason why Hongming said this.

"To that kind of place?" Hongrui was quite surprised, but suddenly thought about it and smiled: "It's a shame that you think of it." ”

"What's the way, no matter how big or small this journey is, it hasn't been interrupted, and I don't know if it's a collision." Hongming is really afraid of encountering things on the way to travel, this thing is not ordinary, the main thing is that things are always in front of him, as if someone deliberately did it, but unfortunately he didn't find anything wrong with it, if someone didn't do a ghost, then it could only be bad luck, so he proposed to go to the Buddhist temple to worship the bad luck on the body.

Xi Chao frowned slightly, there were indeed many things along the way, which happened in front of his eyes, from petty theft, landlord bullies, to murder and arson, and at the beginning there was a little kindness to reach out to save him, and the things happened one after another to disturb people, and they had to make people suspicious, and the matter of saving people was not so concerned.

Strange to say, Xi Chao couldn't help but wonder if it was his bad luck or Xu Chen's bad luck? In addition to encountering these troublesome things, there is no matter of Yan zhòng, and I can't tell whose reason it is, no wonder Hongming will mention yì to the temple to worship.

The Xi Dynasty doesn't believe in ghosts and gods very much, and it takes sincerity to worship the Buddha and ask for peace, but it doesn't hurt to go once in the past, just go to relax, and don't pay much attention to what you want.

Seeing that Xichao nodded, Hongming knew that the lord agreed, and pulled Hongrui beside him to happily pack up his things.

The place to go is some distance from here, it is impossible to go to the temple on the same day, you need to stay in the temple for one night, you have to bring daily utensils such as bedding, and you have to bring some snacks and fruits, one to use in the carriage, and the other is afraid that the tide will not like the food in the temple, and the pastries can also cushion the stomach.

Xu Chenlin also wanted to go to the temple with the Xi Dynasty, but he was entangled in mundane affairs, so he had to postpone a day to go to the Xi Dynasty on his own.

Xi Chao didn't say anything when he heard that Xu Chenlin was going to go with him, he was planning to stay for one night and come back, so he didn't have to be in such a hurry.

The group set off early in the morning to go to the Buddhist temple, and walked for more than an hour to reach the temple gate.

"That's a lot of people!" Hongrui lifted the curtain and looked out, the Buddhist temple was full of people coming and going, and it was obvious that the incense here was flourishing.

Everyone got out of the carriage, and the little guy who was waiting next to him parked the carriage properly, and several people from the Xi Dynasty went directly to the temple, and Lu Yin and Lu Qin took their things and went to the wing room where the master was going to live to take care of the utensils under the leadership of a little novice.

Xi Chao took Hongming and Hongrui to walk in the temple to enjoy the surrounding scenery, and did not go to the Buddha hall to kneel and pray for blessings.

"It doesn't seem like a big place, but the incense is prosperous." Hong Ming saw that there were many people who came to worship the Buddha.

"Although it is not as good as the Puhua Temple in Beijing, there are a lot of scenery to enjoy." Hongrui looked around, and asked the little novice he he met, and knew what were some of the most beautiful places in the temple, thinking that he would have time to take a look.

"Seeing that it's time for dinner, the master is tired all the way, so it's better to go back to the wing room to rest first, and it's not too late to go shopping in the afternoon." Red Ming Ti yì.

"It's fine." Xichao didn't feel tired, but still listened to Hongming's words and went to the wing, and the scenery could be enjoyed at any time.

The temple in the rice tide with Shang Ke, listen to the green qin back to say that there are a lot of people staying in the temple, but there are not many, obviously someone comes from afar to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings, or a family comes out to play, see the beautiful scenery in the temple and stay for a few days.

The side room where Xi Chao and others live is relatively quiet, and other people are not in one place, because Xi Chao Xijing chose this place where there is a bamboo forest in front of the house, the warm wind blows slowly, and you can hear the rustle of the wind blowing bamboo leaves when you sit in front of the window, which is very wonderful.

Xu Chenlin arrived in the afternoon of the second day, and asked the little novice for directions to the Xichao Dynasty.

"Why don't you go to the front hall?" After Xu Chenlin sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, curious why the young man came here without leaving the house.

"The main hall is mostly filled with people who burn incense and worship the Buddha, and it is inconvenient for the master to disturb it." Hong Ming answered Xu Chenlin's question.

"It's weird, if you don't come here to worship the Buddha and pray for blessings, what are you doing here?" Xu Chenlin heard for the first time that someone came to the temple to see the Buddha and not worship.

"The view is delightful." The tide gives the reason for the opening.

"You're a weirdo." Xu Chenlin didn't ask any further.

Xu Chen couldn't sit still after resting for a while, so he pulled Xichao to go to this temple together, Lu Yin and Lu Qin stayed, and Hong Ming and Hong Rui followed.

Before going out, Xu Chenlin did not forget to tell Lu Yin to find a room here for him, so that he could stay at night.

Several people took an afternoon to see the large and small Buddha halls in the temple one by one, Xu Chenlin also asked for some talismans to keep the peace, which was for his parents at home, and let people take them back after going down the mountain.

In the evening, it was a meal at the end of the Xi Dynasty, and after a few gossips with the Xi Dynasty, Xu Chenlin returned to his residence.

The moon and stars are scarce, and the evening breeze is gradually blowing and the bamboo forest rustles, but fortunately it is not disturbing.

Tonight's vigil Hongming and Hongrui were lying in their clothes, as if they were sleeping, they suddenly heard an unusual sound outside the door, opened their eyes, sat up, and listened carefully.

"Someone!" Hongming judged the sound, glanced at Hongrui, got out of bed and walked softly to the door, and made a small hole in the papier-mâché window to look out.

There was no shadow of anyone in the bamboo forest, and a few sounds were heard intermittently with the sound of leaves, and Hongming and Hongrui did not dare to be careless.

Hongming motioned to Hongrui to go inside to wake up the master, and he opened the door to go out to see, whether it was a few thieves or another reason, and by the way, he called the green sound and the green qin to protect the master.

Xi Chao did not fall asleep, he had already woken up when he heard the sound of Hongming and Hongrui going to the ground outside, and when he heard Hongming say that there was someone, he immediately put on his coat and took a sword and walked out.

"Master, woke you up?" As soon as Hongrui turned around, he saw the figure of the Xi Dynasty.

"I can't sleep." Xi Chao asked, "What happened?" ”

"I heard a few intermittent sounds in the bamboo forest, I'm afraid that someone is inside, I don't know if it's an ordinary thief, and I'm about to go out to investigate and control." Hongming replied.

"Call Xu Chenlin and go and take a look." The Xi Dynasty is not afraid that it is a quiet place for gangsters to enter at night, and the Buddhism Gate is quiet, but those who are traitors are somewhat weak in their hearts, and they will not come here to do evil.

Xu Chenlin was aroused, hurriedly put on his clothes, came to Xichao's side and asked, "What's wrong?" "The third watch woke people up in the middle of the night.

"There are more things in the bamboo forest, why don't you go and take a look?" After speaking, Xichao walked towards the bamboo forest.

Xi Chao did not go deep into the bamboo forest, but waited at the edge, because the black shadow in the bamboo forest was walking in her direction, and the footsteps sounded slightly heavy.

Although the face of the black shadow could not be seen clearly in the faint moonlight, it could be distinguished from the general clothing that it was a man, and it was also two men carrying another person on his back.

The faint smell of blood blew in the wind, and there was no need to guess that the man on his back was injured, and the man on his back must not be intact.

The figure in front of the master and servant who walked into the bamboo forest was slightly surprised, originally thought that this place had been uninhabited for a long time, and with the help of the bamboo forest here to cover up one or two, even if someone borrowed here, most of them were ordinary people, even if they heard the sound in the bamboo forest, they would not venture out to see, where would they expect to actually alarm people, obviously the few people in front of them are martial arts practitioners.

"Master." He paused slightly and asked the person on his back.

"Keep walking." Although it is not clear whether the people in front of him have malicious intentions, they must move forward, and if they delay any longer, they are afraid that there will be pursuers following them, so they must gamble.

Five steps away from the Xi Dynasty, the master and servant stopped, this is a safe distance, that is, not to let people look at their faces, and to talk to the other party's people.

"Who's here to be named?" Hong Ming asked aloud.

"My son-in-law is injured and needs medical treatment, please make it easier." The backer couldn't see who was in charge of the other few people, so he replied.

"What kind of convenience?" Shiochao suddenly spoke.

As soon as these words came out, the master and servant were quite surprised, and they could hear that the words were spoken by another person, but they had a different meaning.

The person on his back spoke: "Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, please give a helping hand." "He wants to take a gamble, if he succeeds, it will be good, if he doesn't succeed, he has to find another way.
