Dare to ask who this lady is? ”

Ah Li asked tentatively with a frown.

In just a few days, there were familiar women who came to Aunt Miao to chat?

The woman in front of her, who was about thirty or forty years old, was dressed plainly, with ordinary eyebrows and eyes, and at a glance she was from an ordinary and hard-working family.

"Girl, it's me."

The woman spoke in a low voice, leaning sideways as she spoke.

Ah Li looked at the woman with wide eyes in confusion.

Why does this sound so familiar?

She was still stunned, and Zhang Meishou had already walked into the courtyard with her feet raised.

Ah Liqi reacted and hurriedly followed.

The woman closed the door and bolted it again, entered the hall, and bowed to Zhang Meishou.

"This ...... What's going on? Why did you change your face? Ah Li lowered her voice, although she was surprised, she was quite cautious, and did not mention Aunt Miao's name.

Could this be the disguise technique that is often mentioned in the book?

Thinking so, Ah Li couldn't help but ask.

"It's not a disguise technique, it's just a little cover-up."

The facial features of a person's face can be clearly distinguished with a slight change. If you change everything from your dress to your bun, from your skin color to your facial features, you can easily achieve the purpose of confusing others.

The young aunt, who was originally outstanding, suddenly became an ordinary woman in the twilight of middle age, with a sallow and rough complexion, and mediocre facial features, which can be seen everywhere on the streets, leaving no impression.

"In this way, you can also save a lot of trouble."

Zhang Meishou sat down and said: "Even so, it is more thoughtful to change the surname and title together." ”

"It's all up to the girl."

"Just call Aunt Tian." Zhang Meishou looked at her and said: "If no one asks, if someone asks, they have to answer, and they say that Aunt Tian is the sister of my late nurse, because of the trouble at home, she came to join me and took her in." ”

When she was a child, she had a nurse surnamed Tian, who was sick last year and invited herself back to the countryside, and it is said that she passed away after a long time.

Her mother had someone send a sum of money to settle her family, and she never heard from her again.

Therefore, let Aunt Miao bear this identity, which is both appropriate and not afraid of being suspected.

Miao, no, Tian nodded and said, "I wrote it down." ”

With her previous experience, no matter how thoughtful and cautious the words and deeds of the third girl are, they can't stir up too many waves in her heart.

After all, she doesn't treat the three girls as human beings anymore.

Well, that's not what you mean by swearing.

"Aunt Tian, let's start then."

"Tian's" froze for a moment.

What to start doing?

Seeing the third girl looking at her with a look of "do you still need to ask", Tian Shishi suddenly came over.

Oh, she was so stupid that she forgot the reason why she was able to save this life - didn't she still have some skills in making drugs and drugs?

……

After Zhang Meishou left Tian's residence, he took Ah Li towards the mouth of Cotton Hutong.

The carriage stopped there, and there was no sign of cotton.

"The girl went to sit in the car first, and the slave went to call someone."

As soon as Ah Li's voice fell, she hurriedly said, "Girl, someone has come out." ”

Zhang Meishou subconsciously looked at the old mansion not far away.

The cotton was given by a small girl, who wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and did not know what she was saying.

Cotton listened quietly, and after a moment, turned to leave.

"Girl, that's Cotton's sister?" Ah Li said with a smile: "She looks very good, and when you look at it from a distance, she really looks like a brother and sister." ”

Zhang Meishou looked at her and laughed in his heart.

In the last life, when this girl and cotton were confused, you didn't say that-

Crying and wiping that people have to be mean, at a glance they are snobbish, and thin lovers are coming.

The girl who was about fourteen or fifteen years old stood in front of the door and watched her brother, her eyes touched Zhang Meishou, surprised and curious.

It wasn't until Zhang Meishou turned around and got into the carriage that she withdrew her gaze.

The carriage drove back in the direction of Xiao Yongfang.

It was clearly close to noon, but the sky suddenly darkened, as if dark clouds were obscuring the scorching sun.

A gust of wind blew in through the open window, and it was unusually cool.

"Girl, look at this day, maybe it's going to rain!" Ah Li was pleasantly surprised.

It has not rained in the capital for a long time, and many rivers have shown signs of drought, and if there is no rain again, it will inevitably suffer a major drought.

Zhang Meishou didn't speak when he heard this.

The carriage passed through the lively long street, and most of the people on the street were cheering and rejoicing.

"You don't know, at this time, the Great Master is begging for rain in the Wensi Academy!"

Wensi Yuan was built by the imperial court and was a place where people from Dajing gathered.

"No wonder the sky suddenly turned cloudy, it turned out to be the skill of a great master!"

"Asking for rain against the sky, saying that it is extremely detrimental to cultivation, the national teacher is really a bodhisattva who sacrifices himself for others......"

"Yes, yes, there is a great teacher here, it is really our great luck."

The people hated to be grateful and revered him as the embodiment of God and Buddha.

Zhang Meishou listened all the way along the street, and he just wanted to sneer in his heart.

The rain, which was "begged" by Jixiao, only fell for half a day, and it failed to solve the urgent need.

But after that, Ji Xiao said that Dajing was punished by heaven, and he had to sacrifice 181 lives to heaven on the day the Dayongchang Temple was completed and opened, so that he could break this catastrophe.

She vaguely remembered that at that time, everyone inside and outside the capital was in danger, lest her family be selected to worship the heavens.

On the day of the opening of the Great Yongchang Temple, many people died, and I don't know how many people experienced the pain of separation of flesh and blood, but they didn't even dare to have a word of complaint.

The ceremony was successfully completed, and the rain really fell, pouring heavy rain for two days and three nights, followed by a drizzle.

Since then, the status of the great master in the minds of the people has been unshakeable.

This deep-rooted worship lasted for a long time, and even after Zhu Youzhu ascended the throne, he punished the crime and made his crimes public, and there were still ignorant and stubborn people who stood up to beat the drum and cheer for it.

And it is unbelievable that among those people, several of them were sacrificed to heaven in the first place—they seemed to be more sad and angry than others, and they did not want to accept the fact that Jixiao was fooling the world.

Thinking of these, Zhang Meishou's heart was dull, just like the sky at this time.

The rain began to fall in a trickle.

Zhang Meishou got out of the carriage and walked towards the courtyard with Ah Li.

A carriage soon stopped in front of Zhang's house.

A tall, sturdy retinue jumped from his seat.

The porter did not recognize the person who drove the carriage, and saw that the carriage was also ordinary, so he did not rush forward to inquire for a while.

But the next moment, when I saw the person hurrying down from the carriage, I was stunned.

Isn't this his cousin Ah Xiang?

But didn't Ah Xiang follow the second master to Huzhou to go on a calendar, why did he suddenly come back at this time!

He's back, what about the second master?

The porter subconsciously looked into the carriage and went out to greet him.
