008 Demons and monsters, take turns

"Oh, good baby, I see you're sweaty, and you're having fun today?" As soon as Fang entered the door, the old lady greeted him, and saw Dabao hugging him in his arms, no matter how much mud he had, she took out a piece of brocade and wiped it for him.

Dabao raised his head: "Milk, it's fun, I caught a lot of fish, and I also ate earthen kiln chicken, I brought you and your mother a few fish back!" ”

"Good, good! What a filial child. The old lady suddenly smiled without an eyebrow.

Da Lang asked the old man guarding the door to pack up the ox cart, strode in, and when he saw the old lady, he frowned slightly: "Mother, why did you come out, Wei Niang?" "Wei Niang is the name of the Lin family.

"Her nephew and another son-in-law are here, and she's entertaining them." The old lady pouted in the direction of the hall.

"Brother Xun is here? Didn't you say how many days would it take? "Da Lang knows that the Lin family is full of confidence and has always looked down on their He family, but he is soft-tempered and has no care." Mother, then you ask Guizhi and them to prepare water, let the girls wash first, change into refreshing clothes, and I'll go to Wei Niang to have a look. ”

"Got it, go ahead." The old lady just couldn't stand the hypocrisy between those aristocratic brothers and the Lin family, so she just spoke well, and she wanted to chew the words to show how cultured they were, but she didn't understand a word, so she found a reason to come out and breathe.

"Girl, your sister-in-law has already asked people to boil the water, you should hurry up and wash it."

"Mother, Wu You and I are tired of playing today, so we won't use dinner, and I have to bother you to have someone send it to our room, as long as you have some vegetarian food." When Hebi heard that there was a guest, and he was still a young man, he didn't want to show his face.

"Okay, go ahead." The old lady was also reluctant to appear in front of the two sons and brothers with Bi and Wu You. The Lin family is very concerned about her nephew, and the son's brother is similar in age to Hebi, so that the Lin family thinks that she wants to climb them.

At night, in the guest room of the east wing of the He family, two men were drinking each other.

On the west wall, there is a famous ink painting, whose word cloud: Yanxia idle bones, spring stone field career. On the red sandalwood shelf on the left is an intricately carved crystal ornament, which is a rarity from the ocean. On the right, there is a large Ru kiln flower sac, and purple hyacinths bloom. The rooms are simply furnished, but everything is fine.

"Come, Brother Zhang, try this rice fish, although the method is not as delicate as in the city, but it is better than freshness, so it was transported from the field." Lin Maoxun picked up the clean white jade chopsticks and skillfully sandwiched a piece of fish meat into the bowl of the man next to him.

"Brother Lin is polite." The man over thirty years old smiled and thanked him, and put the fish meat in his mouth and chewed it, but his mind did not know where to fly.

"Brother Zhang, but without the company of beauties, it's a little uncomfortable." Lin Maoxun laughed. He looks a little similar to the Lin family, both have square foreheads and wide mouths, and making this kind of expression makes people feel obscene.

"Beauty? Not to mention, when the carriage was passing through a rice field today, I accidentally saw a child, male and female, who was extremely beautiful. Brother Zhang drank the wine and looked smoky.

When Lin Maoxun heard this, he was very disapproving, in this rural place, what kind of beauty can there be? Still ten years old? This Zhang Daocheng has been in the Guogong Mansion for a few years, his vision is not good, and his habits are really weird.

The heart thought like this, but there was a sincerity on his face: "I don't know where you saw it, my uncle was born and raised in this village, if you like it, I will ask him to find someone for you." ”

"It would be great if it could be so!" Zhang Daocheng clapped his hands. "At that time, it was far away, and I couldn't really see it."

Lin Maoxun pouted without a trace, this Zhang Daocheng is just a small person in the market, I don't know where he learned some skills of talking about qi, and he actually fooled the son of the good Jiguo Mansion, and became a staff member in his mansion, and it is said that he is quite decent. For this reason, Lin Maoxun tried his best to flatter.

"Come, drink, this wine is made by my uncle's own house, and you can't drink it outside." Lin Maoxun smiled and filled Zhang Daocheng with a glass of wine.

"I'm just a small person in the mountains, but Brother Lin takes a fancy to me and is quite a deed, and I can't enjoy this good thing alone." Zhang Daocheng has already pointed out. Who is he? Human spirits! Seeing Lin Maoxun's attitude, he knew that he was perfunctory.

"Brother Lin, do you know, when did this phase bone technique originate?" Zhang Daocheng shook his wine glass, so he said profoundly: "According to the records of the history books, the phase bone can be traced back to the early Han Dynasty, and it has been more than 800 years. In the past, the nobility lies in the bone method, and the joy lies in the complexion. ”

"Reasonable, reasonable." Lin Maoxun echoed when he heard this, but he didn't think about it, if he was really so awesome, why was he so unpopular now.

Zhang Daocheng craned his neck and drank all the wine in the cup. After drinking this wine in one gulp, his throat was a little hot and painful, and Lin Maoxun hurriedly prepared vegetables for him: "If you want to say this beauty, brother, the most beautiful thing I have ever seen in my life is the Yangzhou Oiran, if the shoulders are cut into a waist, the muscles are like condensed fat and like an orchid, and the peach blossom eyes are clear and longing, and all the souls of men have to be taken away from her." ”

"That kind of rouge vulgar powder is not beautiful." Zhang Daocheng was a little drunk, and was provoked by Lin Maoxun, looked around, lowered his voice and said in his ear: "Why do you say now, why does no one dare to talk about the technique of the bone chakra?" Only the Huaiyang Su clan. ”

Lin Maoxun's eyelids jumped, and he hurriedly covered his mouth: "Brother Zhang is cautious!" ”

This Huaiyang Su clan is the leper of the emperor, and it can't be exposed, touched, or discussed!

This clan has also been fierce for hundreds of years, and any one of them is a master of the phase bone chakra, and it is said that their ancestor Su Fangquan has spiritual power and has already become an immortal. And the royal lineage of several dynasties is pointed out by their clan.

They are secretly called the Heavenly Dao Executors.

But this executor was wiped out by the present twenty years ago, and even Concubine Yi from their clan entered the palace at the age of seventeen, and the emperor favored her for five years, and guarded her for a year after her death. said that he died in childbirth, but who knows the inside story.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about that, let's talk about Xianggu today." Zhang Daocheng also knew that he was frivolous, so he quickly changed the topic.

Although the Su clan was forbidden to speak, and the technique of Xiang Bone Wheel Qi declined, as the Shenglong Kingdom grew stronger and stronger, hedonism gradually expanded. The children of the official royal family, who had nothing to do, began to pursue people and things that could satisfy their senses to the greatest extent.

The so-called upward and downward pursuit, so there are a large number of people who are like Zhang Daocheng, who judge how blessed they will look in the future through the observation of people.

"Oh, what is the bones of beauty?" Lin Maoxun poured him another glass of wine and asked curiously.

That Zhang Daocheng shook his fan, except for the smell of wine all over his body, he really had a bit of a bone fairy wind. "Although the child is young, she is elegant between her eyebrows, and she can also rely on her charm! I'm not sure because it's far away, but such a beauty, whether it's a man or a woman, is like no other. ”

Lin Maoxun's heart itched. If that's the case, it's really a rarity ... Plaything!

"That's annoying Brother Zhang to draw a small picture, and the foolish brother will send someone to find it tomorrow." Lin Maoxun personally took pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to sharpen the ink for Zhang Daocheng.

"That child looks like this, but you can look for it carefully." Although Zhang Daocheng didn't read any books, he drew very well, his pen was dipped in ink, and with a few strokes, Lin Maoxun was suddenly amazed by the children in his pen. It's just a simple little portrait, but it outlines the charm of the children in the painting, pure and beautiful, and has a fairy spirit.

Lin Maoxun folded the small statue, put it into his purse, and hugged Zhang Daocheng to drink and eat food until he was unconscious, and then sent him to the couch to rest, but he opened the door, and the breeze outside, with the aroma of grass, made him feel refreshed.

Now Zhang Daocheng was snoring loudly in the room, and the smell of alcohol was soaring, Lin Maoxun was really not interested in staying in the same room with him, so he paced out to disperse the wine.

The backyard of the He family is not big, but it looks a little deserted in the night, Lin Maoxun walked along the stone path for a short time, and suddenly there was a sound of footsteps in front of him, and the sound should be his daughter's house. Although he has a good relationship with the Lin family, this is the He family after all, and he inevitably collided with someone, so he staggered to avoid it and hid in the bushes.

"Dead hooves, is the little master sleeping? Why did you call me out with this black light? A crisp voice sneered.

"Sister Yue, we can't be too snub with that little boy in the future." Another maid said softly.

Hearing the sound, Lin Maoxun recognized that it was the two maids brought by his aunt's family.

"You're a demon, say such things, and the two of them are not my serious masters. Besides, it's not like you haven't seen Madame's attitude towards them, if you really want them to be well, will you let them live in that storage room? Gui Yue lowered her voice and said: "Any room that can't be occupied, since the master has this idea, let's follow it, I said, don't have crooked eyes, if you displease Mrs. at that time, I can't say anything." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have it!" Hearing this, Gui Zhi said eagerly: "You haven't seen the magnificence of Wu Xiaogongzi, if you see it in the morning, you won't say that." ”

"Oh, what a grand method, I only know that in that ragged mattress and hard bedboard, any pampered person is not used to it, and they live comfortably."

"Really, in the morning, Brother Bao suddenly ran to their door, Wu Xiaogongzi took care of it, but when he heard that he was going to go to the field, he changed his clothes again. The other pieces of jade on his belt, I really see it, but they are all rare boutiques! ”

Hearing this, Gui Yue fell silent, although Gui Zhi had less knowledge, but as a wealthy businessman, the Lin family still had a little bit of an eye for things like clothes and jewelry. Could it be that those two are really real people and don't show their faces? She had heard from her wife that the eldest girl had worked as a maid in a rich and noble official's family, so how could she have no savings at all.

Looking back, the two of them didn't care about food and shelter at all, not like they had no confidence to fight the autumn breeze for a long time, but they really just stayed for a few days and left with filial piety, so they were so open-minded.

Gui Yue was originally a thoughtful person, and Wu You's elegance in his gestures was indeed not something that could be easily imitated: "In this case, then we should be careful." ”

"Then I'll go back first, I'm afraid that Brother Bao will go crazy in the rice fields in Dongcun today, and I'm afraid I'll dream at night." Gui Zhi saw that Gui Yue listened to her words, so Shi Shiran left. Back then, the four of them got married, but now only Gui Yue is the most eye-catching in front of Mrs., and when she tells her, she is actually speaking to Mrs. in disguise.

Hearing the footsteps getting farther and farther away, Lin Maoxun leaned out with a thoughtful face. The magnificent little boy Wu? When did this person come to the house?

Today, they also passed through the rice fields of Dongcun, and the one Zhang Daocheng saw was him? If it is true, then Zhang Daocheng will be able to say a few good words for him in front of the Hou Ye, and it will be appropriate to recommend him for admission in more than a month...

After thinking about it, Lin Maoxun didn't care about the alcohol on his body, and hurriedly returned to the east wing, with a little smugness on the corners of his robe.

The next morning, a little girl from Hebi asked the old lady for leave, only saying that she had a great time yesterday and was a little unwell today, so she didn't go to the living room to have breakfast.

It didn't take long for a response to come from outside the door, and it turned out to be Gui Yue, who had to be used by Lin's side. "Miss, the slave maid is here for you to send you breakfast."

He Bi and Wu You looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other's eyes. You must know that since they arrived in Hefu, the maid's attitude towards them has been to ignore them.

"Please come in." He Bi raised his voice. He Bi has been a maid, so she naturally knows that the attitude of this person is influenced by her master, her sister-in-law looks enthusiastic on the surface, and she is just too lazy to break it, and she doesn't know why she suddenly changed sex today.

Gui Yue walked in with a box of red square boxes, and saw that He Bi and Wu You had already packed up. She peeked and saw that Wu You had changed into an ice-blue brocade robe, his black hair was tied up, and he was wearing a small silver crown with jade inlaid on the top, and the white jade on the silver crown was crystal clear, and the hair was black and smooth, like silk. The garnet ruby was worn on the belt, and the color was so pure that if you didn't have some eye, you really couldn't tell that this gem was not extraordinary.

Gui Yue's face was full of smiles: "Please Miss Gongzi, Mrs. heard that the girl was unwell, so she ordered the slave maid to come over early." On weekdays, the doctor who asks for the pulse of the old lady and the lady is not bad, and if there is a need, the slave will invite him to come and see. ”

"It's just that I haven't exercised for a long time, and I played a lot yesterday, and my body is a little sore, and I will be fine after a while."

"This is the mung bean porridge that my wife specially explained to the kitchen, the rice is ground into flour and boiled, the beans are soft, and the most heat-relieving heat. This small dish is grown by the farmers in the field, and it is pickled by themselves, which is the most refreshing. Gui Yue took out the breakfast in the box and said one by one patiently.

Then, he took out a crystal clear white jade bottle, handed it to Hebi, and said in a low voice: "Yesterday, my wife was busy with the guests in the house, but she was negligent, and I hope you two will forgive me." This is the common skin lotion used by the nobles in the capital, if there is a sunburn or something, put on some, and it will be clear and bright in less than an hour. ”

"My sister-in-law is the mother of He Mansion, there are naturally a lot of things, we make my sister-in-law worried, we don't have sunburn, so we don't need this skin lotion." He Biwan refused.

"The girl is wrong to say this, this child's skin is the thinnest, and he can't see it today after yesterday's sun, but he will molt in two days." Gui Yue glanced at Wu Youdao.

Sure enough, seeing an unnatural red on Wu You's face, He Bi accepted the bottle with a smile and gave Gui Yue a purse with his backhand.

Gui Yue saw that the task was completed, and she retired with a blessed body.

Hebi unscrewed the lid and smelled it, a fragrance came to the nose, a faint mint smell mixed with the indescribable floral fragrance, it smelled very good, this skin lotion used to be always available in Wu You's room, although the price is not high, but it is also extremely rare in this small place.

For a while, He Bi and Wu You couldn't figure out what the attitude of the Lin family was, anyway, they were now poor and white, so there should be nothing for others to calculate, right?

After an ordinary morning, close to lunchtime, Gui Yue came to invite him in person.

"Madame sent the slave maid to ask if lunch was eaten together in the lobby, I didn't see the two of you today, and the old lady and Brother Bao were very worried."

He Bi said: "The body is fine, but a little weak, I heard that there were guests in the house yesterday, I am afraid that it is a little inappropriate for us to go out like this..."

Gui Yue heard the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and when she saw that Hebi changed the topic, she also replied with a smile: "That's not someone else, it's Madame's nephew, Madame is the best friend with this nephew in the boudoir, it can be said that Madame grew up." Yesterday, he and the son of the Zhang family came here to go out, and when they saw that it was getting late, they stayed overnight in the house. ”

"Then they're now..."

"That Zhang Gongzi had something to do at home, and he went home early as soon as it was dawn. Young Master Lin was not very well because of the heat yesterday, and this morning Mrs. Zhang Luo found a doctor, took medicine and decocted it, and this should rest in the East Wing guest room. ”

He Bi breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, although Shenglong's national style is open, but the aristocratic lady who is really raised in the boudoir can't easily see a foreign man.

After tidying up, Gui Yue led Hebi and the others to the main hall.

"Brother Beauty!" After a whole day of crazy play yesterday, Hebi and Wu You still feel a little sour in their bodies, but Dabao is still full of energy. "Are you feeling better? Dabao misses you so much, but my mother won't let me disturb you. ”

"I'm fine." Wu You touched the top of Dabao's head, in her previous life in an orphanage, she had to start taking care of those younger children when the children were older, so she was very patient with the children.

"Ouch my baby, Da Lang is a man's family, he is very careless, and he doesn't wear a hat or anything for you, if you sunburn your face, it will be troublesome!" The old lady pulled Wu You over and looked carefully at her face, but found that the skin was white and red, and there was no sunburn at all, which was really natural beauty.

"It's my sister-in-law who thought thoughtfully, and asked Miss Guiyue to send us a bottle of skin lotion early in the morning, no, it took an hour, and the red marks disappeared, thank you so much sister-in-law." He Bi spoke out.

"It's all your own family, what kind of polite words do you say, come on, let's take a seat." Lin was beckoning everyone to take their seats, when suddenly Gui Yue walked in and muttered a few words in her ear, and Lin suddenly showed a touch of embarrassment on his face.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Da Lang asked.

"It's Brother Xun, just now my mother's family came, saying that there was something at home, let him go back quickly, Brother Xun is waiting at the door now, and he wants to come in and salute the old lady and leave."

"What's the matter, does it matter?" The old lady asked with concern.

"It should be the news of the matter that his master did, you said that this Xun brother is the most filial piety, and he will come over to say hello to you." Lin said to the old lady.

"Mother, why don't you avoid it with Wu You?" He Bi secretly wondered in his heart, how could it be so coincidental?

The old lady smiled and said, "What are you avoiding, it's also your eldest nephew in terms of seniority, so it's okay to see each other." In her opinion, Mei Ting, who should be avoided the most, is embroidering a dowry in the house, and since the Lin family doesn't mind being there with Bi, she doesn't have anything to mind.

"Then please come in." Hearing this, the Lin clan commanded towards Gui Yue.

When He Bi and Wu You heard this, they just picked a corner and sat down, bowing their heads and lowering their eyes.

After a while, a tall young man stepped in. With a polite smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked around the room, and finally stopped on Wu You without a trace, and then bowed to the old lady and said, "Thank you for the warm hospitality of the old lady and brother-in-law yesterday." ”

"It's worthy of being a person who has read a big book, it's really polite, Brother Bao, in the future, it will be like your uncle to learn." For the first time at such an age, the old lady let the reader give such a face, and a chrysanthemum bloomed on her face.

"This is the eldest aunt mentioned by my aunt, right? Mao Xun came in a hurry this time, but he didn't see the salute, and he looked at Haihan. ”

Everyone called her aunt, and Hebi was embarrassed to pretend to be the background, so she had to stand up and take it slightly.

When she stopped, Wu You behind her was completely exposed to Lin Maoxun's sight, although she lowered her head, her skin was blown, and the minibus was delicate and cute, but she couldn't see the whole picture.

Lin Maoxun's heart was tickled like a cat, racking his brains how to see clearly?

"Oops!" Suddenly, Gui Yue accidentally touched Lin when she brought the soup, and Lin exclaimed in surprise, attracting everyone's attention.

For just such a moment, Lin Maoxun really saw Wu You's curious appearance of raising his head, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, his eyes were like blue autumn waves, he was really beautiful and smart, and most importantly, her face was clearly the person on the small statue of Zhang Daocheng last night!

"Slaves deserve to die, slaves deserve to die!" Gui Yue knelt on one knee and begged for mercy.

"What the hell is not damned, just be careful next time." Lin and Lin Maoxun exchanged glances in private, and then gently helped Gui Yue up.

"Then the juniors will not disturb your meal, say goodbye, and next time if you have the opportunity, I will invite the old lady and brother-in-law to our house as guests."

"Mother, I'll send Brother Xun off." Lin said: "You can eat first, don't wait for me." ”

"Go, go, go." The old lady couldn't bear it the most, she didn't have to sleep and was hungry.

"Wu You, what's wrong? But I'm hungry, so come and drink some soup to warm my stomach. The old lady enthusiastically pulled Wu You to sit beside her and personally scooped a bowl of soup for her.

Wu You scooped up the soup with a spoon, there was no trace of heat, this was just Gui Yue brought it over and touched Lin's soup, so why did Lin scream?

"Wu You, what's wrong?" Seeing Wu You's thoughtful appearance, He Bi gently touched her arm.

Wu You came back to his senses, shook his head slightly and smiled, and sent the soup to his mouth.
