Chapter 116: The Strange Duck (12)

The book continues above.

After subconsciously shouting the words 'This monster in the water is afraid of the breath of gold and iron', Yang Cong groaned slightly, then frowned and shook his head.

"That's not necessarily, the girl who went into the water to play with her cousin that day, although her family background is not as rich as the Xu family, she is also a local celebrity family. Even if it is not full of pearls, the gold and silver hairpin ring is always indispensable.

Since this monster dared to attack his cousin in the crowd, it can be seen that he was not afraid of the gold and silver jewelry on the heads of those girls, and it stands to reason that he should not be afraid of any gold and iron. ”

"It makes sense."

In this way, Hu San and Yang Congxun assumed and denied at the same time.

The two discussed for most of the hour, and they imagined a basket of various situations, but they didn't discuss the reason.

Fortunately, it was hot summer at this time, the days were long, and there was still some time before the night was launched.

So Yang Congxun cheekily went to ask the old Xu steward in the back house, and Yang Qi found a few maids and women from the back house of the Xu family who were waiting for Xu Menglian to play in the water that day to interrogate.

In the morning, Yang Congxun's breaking of 'the demonic spirit in the lotus pond in the backyard of the Xu family' left an unfathomable impression on the old steward, and the steward Xu immediately regarded Yang Congxun's central proclamation as a holy decree.

He replied, "This matter is very easy, Taoist chief, you can sit in peace with your heart", and hurriedly confessed.

After about a quarter of an hour, Yang Congxun and Hu Sanmeng, who were drinking tea and eating snacks in the house, heard a noisy female voice like a lark passing through the door.

When Yang Congxun hurriedly cleaned up his clothes and went out, he saw that in the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, Yingying Yanyan had to squeeze a large group of maids and women, and the scale was afraid that there would be as many as forty or fifty people.

Among them, there were a few people with untidy skirts and scattered temples, and while bowing their heads and patting their clothes, they also hid their pink and deceitful soft wattles in their mouths, and secretly yawned.

Look at this, eighty percent of them are worthy of maids just after the night, and they were dragged up from the bed just after the pillow was touched, and a dress was put on indiscriminately, so they hurried to this room for Yang Congxun to question.

Seeing that his casual words had provoked the old steward to make such a big move, Yang Congxun, who was embarrassed, hurriedly took two steps forward and hurried over to greet Steward Xu who was standing in front of the crowd.

However, before Yang Congxun could apologize, the sweaty Xu steward took the first step towards Yang Congxun.

"The good Taoist learned that a total of ninety-seven maids and women who were waiting for my sister to bathe in the pool that day had been summoned here.

It's just that the courtyard of yours is very narrow, and I'm afraid it can't accommodate so many.

Therefore, Lao Er took matters into his own hands and instructed the maids and women who did not wait in front of her sister that day to wait outside the hospital for the time being.

Daoist, if you have orders, Lao Er will call those people in. ”

Dare to ...... Right now, it's just the vanguard in this courtyard?

However, before Yang Congxun came back to his senses, the old housekeeper smiled at a middle-aged woman who was forty years old next to him, and saw that the clothes and jewelry on his body were very luxurious, although he was also full of smiles, but there was a bit of a middle-aged woman with a finger between his eyebrows.

"This person is in the old man's room, and he was my sister's nurse back then, so he was trusted by his wife, and he was the housekeeper of the inner room.

Sister she has orders, and they are all handled by the cheap inside...... I, you, this woman, are so rude! Why don't you come forward and see Yang Daochang? ”

It turned out that the middle-aged mother-in-law who was behind the old butler was smiling with the steward and saluted forward.

However, when he walked in and carefully looked at Yang Congxun's appearance, the action of this salute suddenly stiffened, and he was so busy that he owed a blessing after being gently pushed by the old steward from the side.

"The Taoist is blessed. I also ask the Taoist to forgive my sins, and the woman thinks that the Taoist is very kind...... Where have we seen it? ”

Hearing this mother-in-law say a sentence of 'face goodness', Yang Congxun suddenly "chuckled" in his heart, hurriedly glared at the future and looked the person up and down, and almost blurted out, "It's you!" ”。

It turned out that this housekeeper was the mother-in-law who took the initiative to jump out and identify Yang Congxun and Xu Menglian rolling and playing in the white jade bathtub, and finally made Yang Congxun's ass bloom!

It's really a narrow road!

Fortunately, Yang Congxun had grown up at this time, and his face had changed a lot when he was less, and the woman only felt that Yang Congxun's movements and demeanor were familiar, and did not associate it with the young man who was beaten in the hall back then.

So he hesitated for a moment and then smiled: "Dao Chief, you are handsome, you are really a character who walks down from the painting."

When the woman kowtowed to incense, she looked away from the statue on the shrine, and it is not known. ”

The old steward on the side saw that this seemed to be wrong, so he hurriedly came up and interrupted: "This crazy woman is full of nonsense, and the Taoist chief has a joke."

In the room, why don't you tell the Taoist about how my sister was harmed by the goblin that day? ”

"Look at the woman's memory, she deserves to be slapped! The Taoist is groomed, and the day is ......"

It turned out that just ten years ago, a handkerchief handed over by Xu Menglian, Du Yuexin, the daughter of the head of the grain and oil store (the largest grain store) in Qufu City, the daughter of Boss Du, was ordered by her parents to marry the eldest son of a salt merchant in Yangzhou as a housewife, and she will go to Yangzhou to complete the marriage in the near future.

Seeing that her marriage was imminent, Du Yuexin specially came to Xu's house to say goodbye to her best friend Xu Menglian.

As soon as they heard that the good sisters would be separated from each other in the future, they would inevitably gather less and leave more, Yuexin's three-year-old Xu Menglian's eyes were red when she appeared, so the two hugged and cried like pear blossoms in the boudoir.

After crying, Xu Menglian was so annoyed that she pouted her pink mouth at Du Yuexin.

"Sister Du is really ruthless, she doesn't even say hello to others, and she wants to marry so far away.

Mother Liu, you ask Steward Xu to take my father's post to visit Master Du, and Sister Yuexin will spend a few days in our Xu family.

At that time, let the pick-up team from Yangzhou come directly to pick up people here. ”

Xu Menglian was so unreasonable that when he was Paiden, he made Du Yuexin giggle.

"Sister, is this going to learn from the bandits who robbed people and suppressed the village on the mountain?

How can there be a reason for people to go to the side house to pick up relatives, is this whether you are on the sedan chair or me on the sedan chair? ”

However, Du Yuexin was reluctant to part with Xu Menglian immediately, and she was worried for a long time, but after all, she was soft-hearted and relieved, and agreed to stay at Xu's house for a night.

Seeing that Du Yuexin relieved her mouth, Xu Menglian was so happy that she couldn't find the north: "My sister still loves me."

Oops, the flowers on my sister's face are crying.

It's so hot that it's like a fire, and even my sister is sweating all over her body, so it's better for you and me to go into the water and have fun.

Mother Liu, you take someone to the backyard to clean up! ”

Don't look at Xu Menglian, she remembered that one is one play, but this kind of thing is not a problem at all for a rich family like the Xu family.

On that day, dozens of maids and women worked together, and it only took two or three moments to clean everything up.

That day, the woman was afraid that her sister would be too much sunburned, so she turned around and became angry about it.

So I asked the 'Hou Erjia' to take a pruning knife, go to the lotus pond to cut a few fresh lotus flowers, and send them to the back kitchen to make two pieces of rock sugar lotus seed soup to relieve the heat for my sisters. ”

But the skillful servant woman named 'Hou Erjia' had just cut off two green lotus canopies that were almost tender out of water, and Xu Menglian, who was splashing water and playing with Du Yuexin in the white jade bathtub, suddenly pointed at the lotus pod in the hands of 'Hou Erjia' with a miserable white face.

"Hou, you, that fluffy thing in your hand that keeps dripping blood, but is it the tail of a yellow dog?"
