The next day, after breakfast, the group prepared to go up the mountain to find Yang as the manager.

Du's mother and Du Juan accompanied them, Wang Daniu drove the car, two guards escorted left and right, and Chunliu and Zheng stayed in the hospital and waited.

When the carriage reached the foot of the mountain, Ah Xiu went down to the ground, and the rest of the road had to be walked up.

Wang Daniu stayed behind to guard the horses and carts, and the others accompanied Ah Xiu up.

This mountain is not small, but it is not big, and several people climbed it for almost half an hour before they came to the halfway point of the mountain.

Ah Xiu looked at the small temple on the top of the mountain, and the road behind was for Du's mother and Du Juan to go up.

To put it bluntly, this place is a barren mountain range, although there is a temple on the top of the mountain, but there must be no incense on this road.

I heard Wang Daniu say that there is only one monk in the temple, and then there is Yang Da Steward.

At the beginning of the Zhuo family, as one of the chief stewards, Yang Daste lived a more nourishing life than the average rich family, but now he came to this kind of place where birds don't and suffered, and I don't know how he got by.

Of course, if compared to death, these sufferings are not unacceptable.

In the distance, Ah Xiu saw an old man on the stone slope in front of the temple sorting firewood, and saw that they quickly put down their things and went into the small and dilapidated temple.

That person was not the chief steward of Yang, but should be a monk in the temple.

Ah Xiu gave an order to the guards behind him, and asked the two of them to go to the other side of the mountain and block the way down the mountain first.

Although in the dream, Grand Steward Yang once sent a letter to her, saying that he had never betrayed the Zhuo family, it was better to pay attention to it.

Nearly an hour before and after, Ah Xiu finally came to the door of this small temple.

I don't know how many years this small house has been, the wooden frame of the main body has been crooked, and there is a sense of crumbling when the wind is strong.

Ah Xiu took a breath at the door, and saw the monk who had just entered the house coming out with some Buddha incense, and asked Ah Xiu if he wanted to buy some.

Ah Xiu looked back at a large stone wall not far away, and saw an adult-sized seated Buddha carved on it, and there were candlesticks and incense ashes under the Buddha statue.

Ah Xiu straightened his color, made a squatting bow to the monk and said, "Master, I heard that there is an unfathomable god operator in the temple. This time, I came to ask him to count a hexagram. ”

It turned out that he had come to tell the fortune, and the monk's eyes lit up, and he immediately invited Ah Xiu in.

The small courtyard that had collapsed the wall, Ah Xiu felt a kind of desolation that was difficult to hide when he entered.

Looking at the patched clothes and thin yellow face that this monk was wearing, it was not easy for Steward Yang to live here these days.

The three of them went down to the main hall under the guidance of the monks, and when they stepped into the threshold, Ah Xiu saw a gray servant's desk under the earthen wall with a dilapidated Buddha statue, on which was placed a very inferior ink table, and a wolf pen that was almost bald.

Steward Yang sat behind the desk, his eyes were covered with black strips of cloth, and he looked invisible.

Is there something wrong with this man's eyes?

Ah Xiu was startled, and almost laughed out loud.

Obviously, the person who once held a lot of power and had Yang in charge is now abducting and deceiving in order to make a living.

"Dare to ask, it's a little lady here?"

Steward Yang behind the desk spoke, and his rough hand with a small wound stroked the cyan beard on his chin, making an unfathomable appearance.

Ah Xiu stepped forward and sat on the little wooden vulture, sighed and said, "Mr. has good ears." ”

When the Zhuo family was still there, Ah Xiu had only seen Steward Yang a few times from a distance in the front yard, and the two could be said to have not known each other.

In addition, now that Ah Xiu has grown up, his voice and appearance have changed from his age, not to mention that this person is blindfolded, even if he sees it with his own eyes, he may not be able to recognize it.

"I wonder what Miss wants to ask?"

Steward Yang groped twice on the table, picked up the pen and dipped it in ink, and gestured to write on the yellow paper.

can do these things blindfolded, but thinking that Steward Yang has not done it in vain for most of his life in the Zhuo family, he has been imperceptibly for many years, and these little things are not difficult for him.

He has such skills, he can also write, and he is also well-known in a few villages below the mountain.

is to pretend to be blind on weekdays, otherwise many people will ask him to go down the mountain to help with red and white ceremonies.

Asked her to come over and ask something, Ah Xiu suddenly felt funny, seeing that Du's mother had an ugly face and wanted to speak, Ah Xiu waved her hand, turned her head and said to Yang Steward: "Sir, I want to achieve a career, can you help you tell whether there is a fortune in fortune." ”

Asking about business, the corners of Steward Yang's mouth curled unconsciously.

Don't dare to say anything else, but this aspect is not difficult for him.

It's just that listening to this girl's immature voice, I don't know if I really want to, or if I'm joking.

"Dare to ask Miss's birthday."

The shopkeeper Yang put down the pen and wrote the word Hongtu on the yellow fire paper, and then opened the record below to record the eight characters related.

Ah Xiu reported it truthfully, and it didn't take long for Manager Yang to ask again, "What does Miss want to do for a living?" ”

"I want to open an embroidery workshop and do an embroidery business."

Steward Yang took the pen and paused, if his eyes were not blindfolded, he could see the flickering and surprise in his eyes at this time.

But soon he stabilized his expression and said, "I don't know if Miss has done this before." ”

"Naturally, it has been done. Someone in my family had been an errand supervisor in the palace, and the needle method was passed down from generation to generation, and now it is a ......"

Ah Xiu said slowly, a word in Steward Yang's ears like a stormy wave, her words were not finished, Steward Yang had already removed the black cloth strip from his eyes.

The little girl in front of her was about ten years old, her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite, and when she smiled faintly, she looked like a very kind old man.

The shock in Steward Yang's eyes couldn't be dissolved, his hands were so shaky that he couldn't even hold the pen steadily, and said in a trembling voice: "Are you, Miss?" ”

Ah Xiu smiled lightly, "Steward Yang, you still know me." ”

That's right, this is Miss That's right, although he was not fortunate enough to see Miss's true face, but he has seen the master and the lady.

The appearance of the young lady is to take the strengths of the old lady, and if you look closely, you will have their shadows.

Steward Yang was shocked, and immediately stood up, walked out, and knelt directly in front of Ah Xiu.

"Miss, Yang Shu is incompetent, he failed to protect his master and son, and failed to protect the Zhuo family's family business, please punish Miss."

Steward Yang touched his head to the ground and wept directly.

Mother Du and Du Juan glanced at each other, and there were some doubts in their eyes.

Just now, Du's mother was about to open her mouth to reprimand this person. Something happened to the Zhuo family, but he disappeared with the needle, no matter how he thought about it, it was not easy to feel at ease, and now it seems that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"Steward Yang, get up."

Ah Xiu helped him up.

Steward Yang, who was in tears, finally raised his head, but he didn't get up, his yellow and thin face was distorted, and he sobbed while saying, "Miss, master, both the master and the son are killed." ”
