Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Ancient Temple in Distress
In the courtyard of Ye Mansion, Qinghe was anxiously training those maids, and Yuanhang stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, frowning and looking down. The maids put on cheongsams and stood there with blushing faces one by one, without any sense of beauty, to the point that they looked like stiff models without a trace of expression.
"How? Green lotus. It's been so long and so restrained, and I can't even laugh when I stand there. "The New Year is just over a month away, and the new store has been renovated and will be open the day after tomorrow. Now that it is such an effect, Yuanhang can't help but ask Qinghe anxiously.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time, they won't look up at the beginning." Qinghe turned around and defended the maids.
"Now that it's a little colder, they're allowed to wear bottoms. It's not showing your legs, what's so shy. Yuanhang looked at the maids and said angrily: "If any of you behave badly for a while, you are not allowed to eat at night, and all your wages will be deducted this month." ”
It was the first time for the maids to see Yuanhang angry, and they were all frightened, and Nuno looked at him.
Maybe the maids were really scared, and when they trained again, they really raised their chests and raised their heads, although their faces were blushing, they all smiled and looked ahead.
"Eh, that's right, each person will be rewarded with ten cents in a while." Yuanhang finally smiled, but the change was too fast.
"Thank you, young master." The maids breathed a sigh of relief and cheered in unison.
Now most of the things in the house are decided by Yuanhang, so the people call Tang Yuanwai the master, and Yuanhang is called the young master.
"Qinghe, you continue to train them, and I'll go and discuss it with the master." Seeing that the maids had begun to take shape, Yuanhang left with a smile.
Seeing the voyage leaving, Qinghe turned around and said to the maids: "Don't mind, the young master is actually cold-faced and kind-hearted. Everyone is practicing hard, and in a few days, let the people of Jingzhou take a look, and all the maids in our Ye Mansion are outstanding. ”
The voyage came to the East Courtyard and saw Tang Yuanwai playing chess with Wanyue. And he stood by and watched.
"Oh, down here, down here." Yuan Hang saw that Wanyue's chess pieces had fallen in the wrong place, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and shouted.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way. Your chess skills are not as good as mine. Wanyu glanced at him, and brushed away the outstretched hand of Yuanhang.
"Who said that? I started learning chess when I was eight years old, and I want to ...... back then," Yuanhang rolled his eyes and began to boast.
"Learning chess at the age of eight? That will defeat me the next few times. Wan asked with a look of disbelief.
"It's true to learn chess at the age of eight, but I gave up at the age of eight and a half." Yuanhang said with a dry smile and scratching his head.
"Flutter." "Haha." Wanyue and Tang Yuanwai couldn't hold back their laughter.
"Master, I'm ready for the opening, just wait for the day after tomorrow." Yuanhang also laughed twice, turned to the topic and said to Tang Yuanwai.
"Well, you've worked hard for the voyage." Tang Yuanwai looked at the voyage with praise.
"Oh, yes, the voyage." Wanyue suddenly remembered something and said: "I heard that there is an ancient temple more than ten miles outside the city, and I want to go there to worship tomorrow." First, let's relax, and second, I also pray for our new store. Do you think so? ”
"Really? All right. We haven't been out of Jingzhou for nearly a month, so we'll go to the ancient temple tomorrow to relax. Yuanhang thought that they had suffered a lot in the past few days, and just went out to relax, so he nodded approvingly.
"Great, father, go too." Wanyu turned to look at Tang Yuanwai and said.
"I won't go, you young people go, remember to go early and come back early." Tang Yuanwai shook his hand and said.
"Okay, I'll pray for my father's health and well-being, and our new store will have a prosperous business." Wanyu muttered with her hands on her chest.
"Silly girl, the words of prayer are said in the heart, and you are not allowed to make a sound." Yuanhang said with a smile.
"How do you know I didn't say it in my heart." Wanyo blushed a little after speaking. Wanyue also said in her heart that she hoped that Yuanhang would have a successful career as soon as possible, so that she could marry herself, but how could she say this.
After breakfast the next day, Yuanhang asked the family to prepare a carriage. Wanyue, Qinghe, Yingyue sat in the car, and sailed away with the two guards on horseback. Although the road is no longer full of greenery and the birds are singing and fragrant, the air is still exceptionally fresh. Out of the city, all the way to the north for more than ten miles, came to the foot of a mountain. Yuanhang instructed the two guards to watch the carriage at the foot of the mountain, and he accompanied them to start climbing the mountain.
"Oh my God, I'm going to be exhausted, why can't I go to the temple yet." After climbing for a while, Yuanhang was out of breath and didn't want to go. Lai said: "I said, let's just pray here, I can't climb." ”
"No! If you insist on sailing, we can all ask you why you can't do it first. Wanyue turned back to the front and urged him.
Qinghe held Yuanhang's arm and said, "It's almost here, I'll hold you." ”
"Give me some motivation, I'll have energy when I kiss it." Yuanhang whispered to Qinghe.
"Don't mess around, this is the temple." Qinghe secretly pinched Yuanhang's arm, for fear that Wanyu would hear it, so he hurriedly looked up.
Yuanhang grinned in pain, but he finally climbed to the top of the mountain with his hands and feet, and sat on the ground panting. When I looked up, I saw a temple gate in front of me, and the plaque read, 'Forget the Dust Temple'. The temple is not large, but it can be seen that it is very old. There are really a lot of people who come to offer incense and pray for blessings, and people come and go. After resting for a while, he got up and walked into the monastery.
Yuanhang went to donate a tael of silver to the incense money, and the monk gave him a few pillars of incense, and after handing the incense to Wanyue, Yuanhang wandered around alone.
The temple is too small, except for a main hall, there are only a few side rooms, as if it is not as big as the Ye Mansion. After coming back from the voyage, I saw Wanyue and Qinghe kneeling in front of the Buddha statue and prostrating, and then got up and made a wish. He leaned against the pillar and waited, and waited a long time for them to come out.
Yuanhang greeted him and asked curiously, "What are you all wishing for?" So long. ”
"You can't say that, and if you say it, it won't work." She replied with a playful raised eyebrow.
"Then did you make a wish to marry me?" Yuanhang asked with a hippie smile.
This question Wanyue and Qinghe's faces turned red.
"No shame." After saying a word, he took Qinghe and walked outside the temple.
"Haha." Yuanhang laughed and walked behind the second girl.
When I got out of the temple, I saw a group of people coming up from the mountain. The leader was a gorgeously dressed son, followed by more than a dozen black-clad followers.
As soon as the boy looked up and saw Wanyue and Qinghe, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he walked over.
"Ouch, whose girl is this, so handsome." The boy laughed and drooled. It's rare to see such a handsome girl, and it's a pair.
Seeing this, Yuanhang hurriedly took two steps forward to block the two of them.
"Who are you? What do you want to do? Yuanhang asked with an angry glare.
"I'm going to take them back to be concubines, haha." The boy only stared at Wanyue and Qinghe walking forward, and didn't look at the voyage at all. said: "What's the matter with you, get out of the way." ”
"In broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun, do you still have the royal law in your eyes?" Yuanhang instinctively took a step forward to block it.
"Wang Fa? This young master is Wang Fa. Haha, come on, grab these two women for me. The boy waved his hand back.
"Yes." The attendants behind him rushed forward when they heard the order. Yuanhang saw that the other party was about to make a move, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he condescendingly raised his leg and kicked on the man's chest. The boy didn't pay attention, but was kicked by Yuanhang, fell on his back, and rolled down the mountain. The attendants hurriedly stopped him and helped the boy up.
When the boy got up, his head was broken and bleeding, and his body was covered in dust.
"Bastard, dare to hit Young Master Ben. Someone came and beat him to death. When the boy got up, he looked angry, gritted his teeth and pointed to the voyage and shouted.
The followers rushed upward, and Yuanhang knew that he was invincible, but behind him was Wanyue and Qinghe, so he could only fight to the death.
At this moment, a few people suddenly burst out of the woods next to the steps, and without saying anything, they blocked the way to the entourage and called the followers. These people were obviously good at kung fu, and they were in a high place, and in a moment, the more than ten followers of kung fu were all knocked to the ground.
"Childe, hurry down the mountain." One of the men turned back to Yuanhang and said.
Yuanhang still stretched out his arms to block them in the back, and when he saw the man fighting with his followers, he knew that he was a friend or an enemy. Hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Thank you for the rescue, dare to ask the strong man's surname?" ”
"Don't ask, Childe go quickly." The man turned his head to stare at the attendants and hurriedly urged.
Seeing that his followers were all knocked to the ground, the boy pointed at the man fiercely and said: "Be bold and dishonest, my father is a garrison in Jingzhou, and if you have the guts, you will report your name and see how I will clean you up in the future." ”
The voice fell, Yuanhang had already walked down with Wanyue, seeing that the boy was so arrogant, he stepped forward and kicked again, this time there was no follower to stop him, and the boy was kicked and rolled down the mountain.
Yuanhang turned around and hugged his fists at those men and said: "In the next Ye Yuanhang, don't thank you for your kindness, and report it again in the future." After speaking, he pulled Wanyue and Qinghe and hurriedly walked down the mountain.
Walked to the bottom of the mountain and got into the carriage, put the second female deputy into the carriage, and ordered the voyage to drive quickly to the city.
"Sister, I was really scared to death." Qinghe said while holding her chest in the car.
"yes, I'm scared too." Wanyue's face turned pale and said: "That person said that he is the son of the Jingzhou garrison, but don't come to seek revenge in the future." ”
"Oh, no, how is this good?" Qinghe was alerted by a gentle reminder.
"I can only do this first, and then I will discuss it with Yuanhang when I return home." Wanyu sighed lightly, and ran out of ideas.
I didn't think about it so much, I just paid attention to the surrounding situation at any time, and rushed back to Yefu all the way.
Back in the house, Wanyue sat on the chair with palpitations. Qinghe didn't go much better, standing behind Yuanhang, his legs were still shaking.
Yuanhang told Tang Yuanwai what had just happened, and Tang Yuanwai's eyebrows tightened, and he was silent in thought.
"Yuanhang, what do you think about this?" Tang Yuanwai looked up and asked Yuanhang.
"Master, I don't have a good countermeasure. Now that it's happening, we're just going to have to improvise. When it opened, I went to ask the prefect to come, and then asked the prefect to ask the garrison, so that he knew that we had a friendship with the prefect, and maybe the matter could be reduced to a small matter. Yuanhang replied in thought.
"Well, that's the only way, when it opens, transfer the family and the nursing home to the store, it's really not good......," Tang Yuanwai shook his head and said.
"Sir, no." Yuanhang stretched out his hand to interrupt Tang Yuan's foreign words and said: "Since ancient times, the people have not fought with officials, not to mention that the garrison has military power. ”
"Alas, it really can't be done, so we will continue to move our family north."
"It's okay, don't think about it yet, let's have a good rest, and we'll discuss it tomorrow." After Yuanhang finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye, and returned to his courtyard with Qinghe.
"Qinghe, how are the maids?" Yuanhang sat down with a swing of his robe and asked.
"Don't worry, it's all good now." Qinghe poured a cup of tea for Yuanhang.
"Well, I'll go to the Zhizhou Mansion first, and when I come back, I'll ask the maids to rehearse it for me again."
"Okay, then you go early and come back early."
Yuanhang sent the invitation card to Yan Song, and asked Lord Zhizhou to invite Jingzhou officials to participate in the opening of the restaurant tomorrow. Out of the Zhizhou Mansion, Yuanhang breathed a sigh of relief. Everything is unknown, so I have to take one step at a time.
