At this time, the ladies of the General's Mansion had already hula and surrounded her, and an old woman dressed plainly took the lead in giving birth to a child from Li Mingyuan's arms, crying excitedly, "I'm a good grandson, you are finally back, if you let people abduct you, how can you let grandma live, you are grandma's lifeline!" ”

It turns out that the old lady is none other than General Xiahou's mother, does the old man love his only grandson, this is understandable. But the other middle-aged woman next to her was a little embarrassed.

It turns out that like many families, this general's mansion is also very unpeaceful. Xiahou Yong's wife is the daughter of Liangzhou Prefecture Mufang Zhiyi. The Fang family is also one of the most prestigious families in Dahua, not to mention the one-third of an acre of land in Liangzhou.

Taoism is the native religion of the Han people, the root of the Han people, and the source of the wisdom of oriental science. Taoism takes "Tao" as the highest belief, the belief in immortals as the core content, the Dan Dao magic as the way of cultivation, and the ultimate goal of becoming immortals, pursuing natural harmony, national peace, social stability, and family harmony, and believes that those who cultivate and accumulate virtue can be happy and live forever, which fully reflects the spiritual life, religious consciousness and belief psychology of the Han people, and is the spiritual home of the Chinese nation.

Taoism has had a profound impact on Dahua's academic thought, political economy, military strategy, literature and art, science and technology, national character, ethics and morality, way of thinking, folk customs, and folk beliefs.

On the contrary, Buddhism is more trusted by the grassroots people, and Buddhism advocates that if you know your mistakes, you can change them, and you will be very good. Putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha on the ground are sought after by countless people.

Originally, none of this was a big deal, it was just a religious belief. As long as it does not threaten the imperial power, no dynasty will restrain these more. After all, both Buddhism and Taoism are of great benefit to imperial rule. It also plays a non-negligible role in reassuring the people. Therefore, Dahua is also quite polite to people from the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism.

It's a pity that the situation in the general's mansion is a bit head-catching, the huge general's mansion, the two women who have the most right to speak are faithful believers in Buddhism and Taoism, plus the daughter-in-law looks down on the mother-in-law's small people's mentality, the mother-in-law is not used to the extravagance and waste of the daughter-in-law, this back and forth, the relationship between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law is becoming more and more tense, and Mrs. Xiahou has not been able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for Xiahou Yong for a long time, but Xiahou Yong is not allowed to take a concubine, which makes the old lady very dissatisfied.

Finally, the sky lived up to its wishes, with the joint efforts of the husband and wife, Mrs. Xiahou finally conceived a child, and successfully gave birth to a male baby after the most reluctance, which continued the incense for Xiahoujia, which eased the tense atmosphere of the general's mansion, but today when the Xiahou woman took the child to the Taoist temple to incense, she actually lost the child, although now the child is recovered, but the old lady will definitely not stop there, it is estimated that the general's mansion is not peaceful.

"Mother, don't cry, isn't the child back!" Mrs. Xiahou watched her mother-in-law cry bitterly in front of so many people, and she couldn't get over her face, but this matter was her own mistake first, so when she said this, she didn't have much confidence.

The old lady holding the child didn't seem to hear what Mrs. Xiahou said, and cried even more miserably, making her daughter-in-law look helpless. had to set his eyes on Li Mingyuan and Zhao Honglang, and motioned for the two to adjust the atmosphere.

"Old lady, don't cry, the little boy is an obedient and sensible child, he saw you crying, he felt sorry for his grandmother, and he also cried!"

(Calling an old lady an old lady is not flattery, according to the Dahua system, the wife of a fourth-rank official is a county monarch, and the wife of a fifth-rank official is a county monarch.) His mother's name is all added to the monarch. Xiahou Yong is a general of the town army, a second-class member of the imperial court, and his mother is naturally an old lady with a title. ）

Li Mingyuan knew that the child was the meat of the old lady's heart, as long as the child was involved, he would not worry about the old lady being disobedient.

Sure enough, when she heard Li Mingyuan talk about the child, the old lady immediately wiped away her tears and coaxed the child with a smile, "Good grandson is obedient, grandma doesn't cry, good grandson is not allowed to cry!" ”

Seeing Li Mingyuan's beautiful hand to save Zhao, whether it was Mrs. Xiahou or Zhao Honglang, they couldn't help but praise in their hearts, and they almost said, "Dear, I'm optimistic about you!" ”

Li Mingyuan spoke, Zhao Honglang naturally couldn't remain silent, he stepped forward and said respectfully, "Old lady, the little boy was abducted by two celebrity traffickers, and now the two celebrity traffickers have been pressed into prison by me, waiting to be executed." This is a soldier under the command of the general, and he is also a talent in our Cangsong County, Li Mingyuan. It was his credit to be able to save the child so quickly this time! ”

"The lowly Li Mingyuan has seen the old lady, Mrs. Xiahou!" As soon as Zhao Honglang finished speaking, Li Mingyuan immediately appeared on the stage and introduced himself.

Knowing that Li Mingyuan was the one who rescued the child, the old lady and Mrs. Xiahou looked at him at the same time, and the first impression was still very good, the person was burly and strong, and he had both cultural relics, he was a good guy.

"Mother, we can't let the guests stand outside, please come into the house!" Seeing that the old lady was no longer crying or making trouble, Mrs. Xiahou hurriedly proposed that everyone be allowed to enter the house.

The old lady did not object to this proposal, so with the support of her daughter-in-law, she led everyone into the house with her precious grandson in her arms.

Zhao Honglang sent a group of officials away, and only took Li Mingyuan into the general's mansion, he didn't want to miss this good opportunity to tie up with Xiahou Yong.

Li Mingyuan is the first time to enter the general's mansion when he is so old, and he has entered the county government once at most when he was taking the Xiucai exam, but compared with the general's mansion, the county government is simply the gap between a small hotel and a five-star hotel.

Crossing the gate of the mansion and walking straight in, about two hundred steps away, you can see that behind the Shadow Pavilion, a low and wide building, the gate is closed, there is a small field in front, all kinds of weapons and some stone locks and stone piers are placed around, it must be the martial arts hall.

Bypassing the martial arts hall, the scenery changed suddenly. Behind is a pond that divides the General's Mansion into two distinct areas, and the garden courtyard looming behind the green trees is the Houfu, and a wooden arch bridge collapses over the pond to become the only way to the backyard.

Of course, people will never let two outsiders enter the back house, and after turning another corner, Li Mingyuan and Zhao Honglang were taken to the living room of the General's Mansion, the old lady sat down, and the rest were qualified to sit on Mrs. Xiahou, Zhao Honglang and Li Mingyuan, of course, if Li Mingyuan hadn't saved the child, he would not have been qualified to sit on this occasion.
