The pomp of Zhang's mansion was very large, which was originally owned by a famous squire in the county, but was later robbed by Zhang Jingan and taken for himself. In the corridor, there are people running back and forth, placing the things they need.

There is cooked pork, and it is still steaming, and a strong aroma of disposing of the fishy smell of the pig wafts away with the wind, which makes people swallow their saliva.

In such a world, ordinary people don't want to eat pork, but drink some broth, which is a luxury.

The butler walked in front and brought Tan Mo and his senior brother Master Lotus all the way. Tan Mo's face was expressionless, but Master Lotus was unmoved, but it was the housekeeper who looked at the pork from time to time.

This made Master Lotus couldn't help but ask, "Didn't Master Zhang suffer you in the past?" ”

Although Zhang Jingan is a newcomer, Zhang Jingan's wealth is well known in Ningjia County. Just because of his arrival, he bought it on a large scale and caused the prices in the two towns to skyrocket, is this something that ordinary rich people can do?

And under the hands of such a person, he has achieved the position of a manager, which is the position of a confidant, and it is as if he has never eaten pork in his life, which is very incomprehensible.

Could it be that this steward is still a good and honest man? Suffer yourself, help others.

But if he is really such a person, he can't be Zhang Jingan's henchman.

Tan Mo was also very strange, and when he heard his senior brother ask, he looked at the housekeeper.

"Master Zhang naturally didn't suffer us, but I don't know what's going on, and I want to eat pork for a while. I'm not afraid of the master's jokes, sometimes I look at those people, and for a while, I see them as steaming pig's head! When this period of time is over, I will go buy a pig and eat it for a day, thinking that when I get tired of eating, I will not have such thoughts and hallucinations. The housekeeper of Zhang's Mansion said helplessly, although he was sad, but he didn't take it to heart.

For people like him, the affairs of their own masters always come first. Personal matters don't matter.

Master Lotus just nodded when he heard this, but didn't ask again.

Tan Mo's heart moved when he listened, and he was tired of this method, which is generally feasible. It's just that this housekeeper is afraid that it is not as simple as having some hallucinations, and something will happen sooner or later.

But his senior brother, Master Lotus, didn't speak, so Tan Mo naturally wouldn't be silent.

Soon, the ritual began.

Zhang Jingan didn't come, but his seven wives came, and now that the Qing court is collapsing, this etiquette and rules are also useless, no one cares what three wives and four concubines, or what kind of official position can marry as many wives and concubines. Zhang Jingan has military power in his hands, and what he says is the rules!

Naturally, he wanted to marry as many wives as he wanted, so he married a few.

These seven ladies, with their own flowers and moons, each with their own merits, are watching the rituals, and they also bring their own children. When the Dharma is completed, let Zhang Jingan's children bow to the Bodhisattva instead of Zhang Jingan.

Tan Mo watched from the side.

With a wooden face, according to what his senior brother said, he wrote down the procedures of the law. It's trivial, but it's not hard to remember.

After all, it may be a means to eat in the future, and Tan Mo naturally remembers to be extra attentive.

His senior brother was already asking Zhang Jing'an's children to kneel and worship, and Tan Mo was about to remember what Master Lotus said, but at this time, someone patted him on the shoulder.

Tan Mo was startled, turned his head, and saw a man with a clean face standing behind him, looking at him with a smile.

"Little monk, are you the junior disciple of Master Lotus?" The man asked, he was dressed in brocade clothes, wearing jade ornaments on his waist, and there seemed to be a little sadness between his eyebrows, but his demeanor was natural and generous, and he also had a high-level temperament that can only be cultivated by making people accustomed to it.

"The little monk is exactly." Tan Mo clasped his hands together and said.

Just glance at it, although it is not clear who this person is, there is no doubt that this person is in a high position.

"How many years have you been practicing?"

"Three years."

"Little monk, aren't you only eight years old?" The man was surprised, he actually knew Tan Mo's age.

Tan Momu made a face, "Exactly, the little monk went up the mountain at the age of five and has been practicing so far." ”

"You can be favored by Master Lotus, so how about I ask you a question? This question has been bothering me for a long time. The man looked at Tan Mo and said very seriously.

The expression and demeanor are completely a gesture of asking for advice, not a joke and a conversation.

Seeing this, Tan Mo still had a wooden face, but he cared a little in his heart, and responded: "The little monk is young and ignorant, lonely and unheard, if he says something wrong, please don't blame the donor!" ”

Before he answered, Tan Mo left a way back for himself first.

"It's okay, it's okay, little monk, you just have to answer." The man nodded, then pondered for a moment, as if he had sorted out his words, before he slowly spoke: "Little monk, you say, if you meet a mother and daughter on the street one day, and someone is chasing them, do you choose to rescue them or stay out of the matter?" ”

Tan Mo looked at this person's expression, thought for a while, and replied, "Stay out of the matter." ”

"Why?"

"The little monk has no power to restrain the chicken, how can he save people? Isn't it self-defeating? This is one of them. ”

When the man heard Tan Mo's answer at first, he was still a little depressed, but when he heard Tan Mo at the end, he couldn't help but be interested, and hurriedly asked, "What about the second one?" ”

"How do you know that mother and daughter will be good people? The one who pursues them must be the bad guys, right? Tan Mo said slowly with a wooden face.

The man was stunned.

His expression was sluggish, looking ahead, motionless, as if he had been immobilized.

After a while, the man suddenly burst out laughing again: "Haha, it's just a passerby, how do you know who is good and who is evil?" It is not only a big mistake to judge others with your own will, but also a big mistake! The disciple has been taught! Threesome, there must be my teacher! Thank you, Little Master, for your enlightenment! ”

This man's attitude was extremely solemn and serious, and he was ready to perform the disciple salute towards Tan Mo.

This made Tan Mo very stunned.

However, he was paralyzed, so he still looked expressionless at this moment. This fell in the eyes of this man, but it seemed that Tan Mo was very breezy and light.

Tan Mo hurriedly avoided it, took a few steps back, and said, "Don't dare to be such a big gift as a donor!" ”

"You deserve it. If you don't deserve it, no one can do it for me! The man said solemnly, insisting on continuing the salute.

Tan Mo felt embarrassed, this person looked like he had a great background, and now he received this gift, and in the future, this guy remembered this matter, if he felt that he had been humiliated, then he had to find a way to kill him?

People are unpredictable, and grievances are never clear.

Ascend Mien, fight Mi Qiu.

"Little junior brother, you can accept his gift." At this time, Master Lotus's voice came.

Tan Mo had no choice but to stand still and let the man salute him.

After the salute, the man looked at Master Lotus and smiled, "It's been a long time, Master Lotus." ”

"I don't dare to call Mr. the master back then." Master Lotus came over and said with a smile: "Master Zhang asked the poor monk to do something for him, but no one was there, so I guess I came to welcome Mr. Nian, right?" ”

"Exactly." Mr. Nian nodded and said, "I heard Zhang Jing'an say that he invited Master Lotus to do the work, and Master Lotus also brought a little monk who was only a few years old. When I heard Zhang Jingan say that this little monk was the master's junior brother, for some reason, my heart suddenly moved, so I rushed to the first step, but I didn't expect that it was really rewarding. ”

"The autumn wind has not moved the cicada, Mr. Nian's cultivation is getting deeper and deeper, and the poor monk is here to congratulate Mr. Nian in advance on his great progress." Master Lotus's eyes couldn't help flashing a hint of discoloration, and then he sighed slightly.

"Thank you, Master. If the ritual is done, ask the master to take the first step. Mr. Nian said suddenly.

"What happened to Zhang's house?" Master Lotus's expression moved slightly, and he asked as if at random.

Mr. Nian smiled, and then said quietly: "Zhang Jing'an can't trust the master. ”

"In that case, then the poor monk takes his leave." Master Lotus did not hesitate, turned around and left after speaking.

"Master, little master, I will not send it far away. I have asked Zhang Jing'an to prepare the carriage for the master and the little master. ”
