The day before the Qingming Festival, Zhu Hui bought the sacrificial things and sent one to the Luo sisters, and early the next morning, together with Wanxi and Song He, he came to the suburbs with the sacrifices, cried bitterly in front of Qingyang's grave, and held a memorial ceremony. 【Latest chapter reading. 】

When he returned to the soup house with tears in his eyes, the Luo sisters were also burning paper in the corner courtyard, and under a blooming magnolia, Ah Ping stood quietly beside Luo Amin with a child in her arms.

Luo Amin squatted under the tree, drew a circle with the branches, and lit the paper, and the breeze blew and the fire splashed.

Worried that the rain would be heavy, Ah Ping put the children underground and stirred the burning flames with her sister, the flames reflected their faces red, and the tears of the two flowed down.

At this time, Luo Amin began to whisper, although she couldn't hear what she was saying, but I believe that her mood at this time must be missing her deceased relatives......

Suddenly, Xiao Aying threw herself into her mother's arms, and Luo Amin had more tears on her face than rain, all of which fell on her little face, making the child cry in fright......

Zhu Hui heard the cry and couldn't help but open the door and stand behind them.

The rain became heavier and heavier, and finding that Zhu Hui had helped them hold up their umbrellas, Luo Amin raised his head and said, "Thank you, Zhu Gongzi." ”

"Sister Amin, don't be so polite, we are both fallen people at the end of the world." Zhu Hui replied.

Luo Amin wiped away the tears from his face and said, "Sister, don't let the child go to the house, you can take her into the house." So, Zhu Hui took the umbrella and sent them back to the house, and returned to Amin's side.

"Zhu Gongzi, thank you very much for taking care of us for more than half a year, I know that Ying'er's father can't live up to your Zhu family......"

These words evoked Zhu Hui's painful memories, back then, his parents took themselves as big as Ah Ying, and went to Satsuma, Lin Yiguan * forced his father to be a pirate, but Zhu Junwang would rather die, and was forced to be a bitter husband in Akimepu, when he was more than three years old, his mother was seriously ill, because he had no money for treatment, he closed his eyes forever in pain, and when he grew up, no matter how difficult the days were, Zhu Junwang still sent his son to a private school.

The rain drenched the dark paper on the ground, Luo Amin squatted under the magnolia tree in a daze, refusing to leave, Zhu Hui persuaded: "Sister, go back and rest." ”

After a moment of silence, Luo Amin suddenly spoke: "Childe, do you know? My father Luo Wenlong was originally a student of the Hanlin Academy, if he hadn't had an accident back then, he should have no problem being a prefect and a governor now. ”

Zhu Hui was very clear about her life experience and didn't dare to answer her words.

So, Luo Amin cleared his throat and suddenly scolded: "I can only hate Hu Zongxian, who kills the sky, why don't you choose someone else, but choose my father, and send him to Japan to persuade the pirate leader Xu Hai, and even hate the damn dog thief Yan Shifan, let him be the liaison between the pirates and the Yan thief party......"

Hearing Luo Amin's words so excited, Zhu Hui couldn't help but persuade: "Forget these past events, there is no regret medicine in the world." ”

"Good brother, I'll tell you a story." Luo Amin said, closing his eyes slightly, as if he had returned to his childhood......

"Late one night, King Yu dressed up in disguise, with a few attendants, carrying a box of gold bars, knocked on the door of my house. At that time, I was only eight years old, and when I saw someone coming, I timidly hid behind my father......"

"Excuse me, sister, King Yu should be the current saint, right?"

Luo Amin did not answer this question, and continued to speak as if no one was around: "Daddy asked me to kneel, he hurriedly lay down on the crack of the door to look outside, and after confirming that no one was following him, he locked the door of the house, and knelt down in front of King Yu, and said in a low voice: 'The lowly Luo Wenlong knocked on King Yu's Chitose, but he didn't know that Chitose had arrived, and he missed the distance, please forgive me. At that time, King Yu was very restrained, and he helped me and my father up, and replied in despair: 'Your Excellency, please ask Yan Ge Lao to save me!' ’”

"Yan Song is really powerful, a rare powerful minister in the world!" Zhu Hui couldn't help but sigh.

"Later, I learned that it turned out that it was Jiajing Lao'er who wanted to abolish Prince Yuwang, and King Yu himself could not be protected, but he had no way to defend himself, he knew that there were many secret agents in the Yan Mansion, and he didn't dare to ask Yan Song directly, so he had to disguise himself and come to my father for help with gold bars, my father Luo Wenlong didn't dare to slack off, and agreed to die at the risk of death."

Zhu Hui has long been familiar with this legend, and today it has been verified from Luo Amin's mouth.

"King Yu was very grateful to my father, and without saying a word, he took me in his arms and praised me greatly. After a few days, my father came home and said happily, Yan Song has done the thing, and wants to send me to Yuwangfu to accompany the princess to study, just like that, I studied in Yuwangfu for two years, but I didn't expect to ......" Luo Amin really couldn't go on, covered his face with his hands and cried bitterly......

"Later, why did you go to Akimeura?" Zhu Hui asked.

"That year, I was as old as Ah Ping, my mother suddenly committed suicide, I was picked up by my father from the capital, quietly sent back to my hometown in Huizhou, and after about half a year, I sent our sisters to Ningbo, so that we followed Hong Zhenren's fleet to Japan, and since then, I have never seen ......my father again."

In the future story, Zhu Hui knew very well that when the Luo sisters arrived in Qiumupu, they first lived in Liuguan Wentao's house, and later, Lin Yiguan fell in love with Luo Amin......

"Daddy, you died so unjustly......"

After hearing this scream, Zhu Hui hurriedly pulled her up and persuaded: "Sister, don't get frostbitten, go back to the house." ”

So, Zhu Hui helped her into the house, and Luo Amin suddenly said: "Master Zhu, Mrs. He promised us to take us to the shore of Mochou Lake on the Qingming Festival, you remind Mrs., don't forget." ”

"Sister Amin, this rain is getting heavier and heavier, I think it's better to change the day." Zhu Hui replied.

"Pity my sister, accompany me every day to sit in the well and watch the sky, Zhu Gongzi, I usually don't dare to talk to you, if it's convenient today, you can take Ah Ping outside for a walk."

At this time, Ah Ping looked at Zhu Hui timidly and said, "Brother, if you go to Qixia Temple today, take me with you, I want to repent for my father in front of the Buddha." ”

"Well, if it doesn't rain in the morning, you can follow me."

At the same time, in Xingji Qianzhuang, Li Shufang hurriedly said goodbye to Liu's bookkeeper, who was talking about business, and returned to Yangji Qianzhuang to meet Huang Bingwen.

In order to negotiate the conditions with Huang Bingwen, Li Jifang did not directly tell his discovery, but only said that he already had a way to bring down Xingji Qianzhuang, and it could be completed in one night.

This news made Huang Bingwen overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered Tie Niu to immediately take people to Qixia Temple, and at all costs, arrest Xuande Zhenren, Zhang Min'er, Wu Lian and others, as a condition for blackmailing Hai Rui, and completely monopolize the silk weaving business in Jiangnan.

After lunch, the rain slowly stopped, and Tie Niu, who was pretending to be a Taoist priest, did not dare to slack off, and immediately organized a powerful army and rushed to Qixia Temple with them. At this time, Zhu Hui and Luo Aping were riding horses together and were also on their way to Qixia Temple.

During the Qingming Festival, it rains a lot, and the pedestrians on the road want to break their souls......

When passing through Shenlie Mountain, the sky was drizzling again, Zhu Hui took out the lily coat and handed it to Ah Ping behind her, she draped it on Zhu Hui's head, and her head was stuck into the lily coat, which was on Zhu Hui's back, and half of her body was exposed......

"Ah Ping, be careful, don't fall down."

"Hehe, brother, do you know, in order to go to Xiaogu City to find Sister Ling'er, Uncle Guo took me on a horse, and it was okay to run hundreds of miles."

The pedestrians who walked to sweep the tomb were endless, and the two walked among the mountain roads talking and laughing, and suddenly there was a group of people and horses whistling by, listening to their greetings to each other, there was an accent in the south of the Yangtze River, and there was also the rhyme of the capital, which attracted Zhu Hui's attention.

Zhu Hui urged the horse to run a few steps, and came forward to take a closer look, and sure enough, it was the Dongchang army from the capital.

"Ah Ping, you sit down, we have to hurry up." Zhu Hui whispered.

Before Ah Ping could speak, he suddenly felt that the horse was like chasing the wind day by day, the wind was like lightning, and he crossed the horse team in front of him, and he saw the archway of Qixia Temple in an instant.

Passing by the gate of Qixia Temple, Zhu Hui said: "We don't have time to worship Buddha today, so we have to go to the Thousand Buddha Nunnery first." Ah Ping, my brother wants to warn you first, there is someone you see there, but don't be surprised. ”

Ah Ping was mentally prepared, knowing that there would be unexpected things, but she didn't know who "that person" was, so she hurriedly asked, "Brother, does Sister Xiaoyu also live there?" ”

"Yes, Xiaoyu also lives there, after you arrive, you don't care about other people, just follow Xiaoyu, don't talk too much." Zhu Hui instructed.

At this time, the rain gradually stopped, there were a lot of pilgrims in Qixia Temple, Zhu Hui deposited the horses in the stable, and took Ah Ping to trot all the way to the Thousand Buddha Nunnery, only to see that the three nuns were under the leadership of Han Xiaoyu, practicing six-step swordsmanship.

Ah Ping noticed that although they were dressed as nuns, they showed a heroic spirit in their plain makeup, and they were wearing three-inch golden lotuses, but they were also sassy and heroic, and they were secretly envious in their hearts......

Zhu Hui ran to Han Xiaoyu's approach, leaned in her ear, and told her to quickly move with everyone......

Just as they were talking, suddenly, Ah Ping's eyes widened, and she exclaimed "sister", and pounced on Zhang Min'er......

Zhang Min'er was also startled, and hurriedly dodged back, Han Xiaoyu grabbed Ah Ping with a smile and led her into the house, Ah Ping turned around to look for Zhu Hui again, and found that he had left.

Ah Ping asked in surprise: "Sister Xiaoyu, I won't tell you, my sister has long said that she is a nun, did I just look dazzled?" ”

Han Xiaoyu smiled slightly and replied: "Sister, although that sister is also called Min'er, her surname is Zhang, a native of Yuyao, Ningbo, you must not make a fuss." ”

"I see." Ah Ping said, lowered her head again thoughtfully......

Suddenly, Ah Ping rushed out of the nunnery, crying and shouting, "Sister, you can't leave me and Ah Ying alone......"

Han Xiaoyu was taken aback, hurriedly caught up with Ah Ping, and asked, "Ah Ping, what are you talking about?" ”

"The reason why my sister * me came out to play, she, she wants to find a short view, I suspect, she, she is ...... now" A Ping, who was at a loss, begged: "Hurry, hurry up and save my sister." ”

Han Xiaoyu knew that Tie Niu and the others might come to arrest people, although Elder Yuekong had sent many disciples to defend here, but there were too many pilgrims and tourists today, in case of S chaos, it would be very dangerous, but at this time, who could run back to Tangfu to deliver the letter? I can't help but feel worried.

"Ah Ping, Mrs. He is at home, you don't have to worry. If you're hungry, I'll take you to eat something first, and when Zhu Gongzi comes back, I'll send you back to Nanjing. With that, Han Xiaoyu took her into the kitchen.

At this time, Tie Niu's mother was cooking, she had just discovered that Zhu Hui and Han Xiaoyu were not quite right, and asked: "Girl, my old lady is a damned person, after Yue'er leaves, you are my own daughter, what's the matter, don't hide it from me, see if my old woman can help?" ”

Han Xiaoyu has been with the old man for a long time, and knows that this diligent old man is very kind-hearted, so he replied: "This little sister came out to play, and suddenly she was afraid that something would happen at home, and now she can't go back, so she cried." ”

But the old man knew that it was not convenient for the girl who lived here to show her face, thinking that she was also here to take refuge, so he served a meal to Ah Ping and asked, "Miss, if you come, you will be safe, and you will not worry about the affairs of the family." ”

"I—I'm worried that if no one is watched, my sister will look for a short time." Ah Ping said, still in a hurry to leave.

"Girl, it's getting dark, how can you go back to the city as a child? If you're really worried about something happening at home, let me, an old woman, run for you. ”

Han Xiaoyu asked, "Godmother, how do you get to this seventy or eighty miles of mountain road?" ”

"Hehe, girl, don't look at me as I have reached the year of the sixtieth year, I think that at the beginning, that big bag of 100 catties of rice, it was to carry it and leave. You may not believe it, but no matter how fierce the horse is, I can ride it. Back then, our family opened a rice shop outside Shuixi Gate, Wu Lian's tofu workshop was next door to us, Yue'er and Wu Xiang grew up as childhood sweethearts! ”

Suddenly recalling the past, the old man wiped a handful of tears, and then said: "Wu Xiang will write a few crooked poems, and he took the opportunity to give tofu to get acquainted with the governor master, so he married Lian'er, and this person has money, so he turns his face and doesn't recognize people......"

"Godmother, what happened?" Han Xiaoyu asked.

"Wu Xiang promised to marry Yue'er, afraid that we would embarrass him, so he gave us some silver and asked us to go back to our hometown in Jiangdu to buy a piece of land, so that he let Yue'er enter the house. But this little conscienceless only let my family Yue'er be a maid, otherwise, my iron bull would be able to get along with him all day long? ”

Suddenly, the kitchen door was pushed open, and the furious Zhu Hui ran in and shouted: "Tie Niu is also here, look at this posture, he is here to arrest Xuande Zhenren." ”

"Iron Bull? Where is this obstacle to unfilial piety? The old man asked in surprise.

Forgetting that Tie Niu's mother was here, Zhu Hui didn't know how to explain to the old man, at this time, worried that Luo Amin would find a short-term view, Ah Ping began to entangle Zhu Hui again.

When Zhu Hui heard this, he was immediately at a loss, pondered for a moment, and said cautiously: "Xiaoyu, you take Ah Ping into the city." Han Xiaoyu nodded silently, pulled Ah Ping up and walked out.

Finding that Tie Niu's mother also followed, Zhu Hui hurriedly stopped her and said, "Old man, there are gangsters who may be unfavorable to us, please don't walk around." ”

"I don't know where this evil obstacle has gone, and since he is here, I will let him come and go!" The old man was stubborn and strong, and after that, he strode out of the Thousand Buddha Nunnery.

Zhu Hui had already discussed countermeasures with Elder Yuekong just now, and he was afraid that he would be messed up by this old man, so he hurriedly ran over to dissuade him, but the old man was unmoved, so he had to follow her to Qixia Temple.

Passing through the bustling crowd, the old man looked for the iron ox everywhere, and suddenly, Zhu Hui saw Xuande Zhenren holding a banner and walking over slowly, with the words "Zhuge God Operator" written on the flag, and the three masters and apprentices set up a stall in front of the mountain gate.

was worried about the safety of Xuande Zhenren, but when he found that they had just set up a stall and came to business, Zhu Hui had an idea and said, "Old man, you should also go and tell Brother Tieniu's fate." ”

Tie Niu's mother wandered around for a long time, but she didn't find her son, so she replied helplessly: "Childe, you go first, as long as Tie Niu, this bastard is here, I guarantee that he will not dare to act rashly." ”

So, the old man came to the stall and lined up, listening to the real person count a few hangs for others, all the guests were so impressed that they threw themselves to the ground, and watched the more and more people were around.

Tie Niu and other scoundrels and Dongchang soldiers have already arrived at Qixia Temple, they did not find Xuande Zhenren in the grass house in the back mountain, and when they were about to besiege the Thousand Buddha Nunnery, they found Xuande Zhenren's stall, so he immediately called everyone to get ready, and must not let Xuande Zhenren run away.

Just as they were about to make a move, Tie Niu suddenly found that his mother was telling a fortune and talking loudly about his birthday......

As the leader of the gang with a head and face in Jinling, it is rumored that he sold his sister for ten taels of silver, and was laughed at by his brothers, at this time, he did not dare to be wild in front of his mother no matter what, dressed as a Taoist priest, Tie Niu with a fake beard on his chin, knew that his mother did not recognize him, but at this moment, his feet were like lead, and he spread his hands to stop his accomplices.

At this time, Xuande Zhenren began to calculate the eight characters of Tie Niu's birthdate, pinched his fingers and explained carefully, Tie Niu saw his mother clasping his hands together, and listened with his eyes slightly closed......

Finding that Tie Niu was slow to make a move, the group of scoundrels were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and the Dongchang gang seemed to be unable to wait, at this critical moment, Tie Niu said: "I recognized the wrong person, this Taoist is the Qingfeng real person of Tianfei Palace." ”

An East Factory official asked, "Do you have a spectrum?" Lord Huang also hopes that we will go back as soon as possible, and tonight we will take Xingji Qianzhuang, don't make trouble at this juncture, but we will miss a big event. ”

Someone who is a scoundrel knows Xuande Zhenren, at this time, everyone is looking at Tie Niu with a blank eye, as long as he gives an order, he can arrest Xuande Zhenren's master and apprentice.

Suddenly, Tie Niu's mother stood up and shouted, "Son, have you seen your mother? I see you come over, your eight characters are not good, it is all the fault of the mother, the mother is willing to suffer for you, pray for the Buddha to forgive my son's sins, what calamities, what calamities, all fall on the body of the mother......"

Tie Niu couldn't bear it anymore, and immediately ordered: "All the troops should be withdrawn, and go back and copy the Xingji Money Village." ”
