Chapter 17: Daytime Hunting
After the old lady left, Li Mobai also rejected Murong Xi's retention and insisted on going back to Chang'anfang. Murong Xi had to order someone to arrange a carriage and send him back.
Before leaving, Li Mobai wanted to leave, but his feet became sticky again, and he said to Murong Xi with a flattering face: "Virtuous son-in-law, you ...... Hehe, you haven't paid the consultation fee yet......"
"Consultation fee?"
Zhang Wenxin was already about to sleep, but when he heard this, he sat up again: "Master, didn't grandma give you the silver just now?" ”
Li Mobai was very clear, and his face was so loose with a smile that he was about to fall to the ground: "The bridge is the bridge, and the road is the road." How can this reward money be mixed up? ”
Zhang Wenxin was unwilling to say: "But...... You used to treat me, and you never asked for money. ”
Li Mobai's ability to grind hard bubbles is much better than his medical skills, and he spread his hands and said with a dead face: "You also said it, that was before." Now you're married...... As the saying goes, a daughter who marries out spills water, not to mention, you are not my daughter...... Hey...... The consultation fee cannot be less, and the ...... cannot be missing"
People are shameless, and the world is invincible.
Zhang Wenxin couldn't grind him, so he had to call Su Qiu and ask him to take a tael of silver to give him - Murong Xi's money is now in Wenxin's hands.
As soon as she softened, Li Mobai kicked her nose in the face again: "You said girl, you have become the young lady of the Hou Mansion, living in such a big house, how can you ...... it for a few taels of silver?"
Murong Xi knew what he was having, and smiled gently: "Su Qiu, take ten taels of silver to Mr." ”
Li Mobai knew that Zhang Wenxin was a childish person, and he was likely to be reluctant, so he would accept it when he saw it. At that moment, he didn't say a word more, hurriedly took the silver and put it in his arms, and walked out: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." In the future, the young lady will be sick again, remember to come to find you, and promise to be on call......"
Zhang Wenxin didn't need to count and knew that there was not much left in the small treasury, so he suddenly felt that he had nothing to love, so he fell back heavily and lay back on the bed: "These ten taels of silver will be recorded in my account, and I will return it to you when I have money in the future." ”
Murong Xi sent Li Mobai away, and as soon as he turned around and was about to close the door, he heard such a sentence. The figure suddenly froze, and his expression was gloomy: "This matter is all caused by a small mess in my family, and Mrs. doesn't have to be so polite." ”
Zhang Wenxin hugged the quilt and turned sideways: "Xiaoxiao is in trouble, have you found out?" ”
The room was too bright, and Murong Xi gradually extinguished a few candles: "As Mrs. inferred, it was the maid at the family banquet who was instructed to add Admiralty pollen to Madame's diet. ”
Zhang Wenxin asked again: "The person who instructed her can be related to the practices of the masters?" ”
Murong Xi knew very well that the more she hid it, the more difficult it would be for her to feel at ease, not to mention that she couldn't hide it. nodded and said: "Fei'er, you should know, she is the youngest daughter of the third uncle's family, because of her grandmother's favor, she has been living in the house, and the Admiralty pollen comes from her." In this farce of gods and ghosts, although the third aunt is not in the limelight everywhere, she should be the mastermind. The second aunt made a gun for someone again. ”
Zhang Wen was full of thoughts: "The Jinzhong pollen has been identified by us, and the matter has been exposed." Then tomorrow's master, do you think he will still come to open the altar? ”
"Yes."
Murong Xi was very firm: "The master is the second aunt Zhang Luo, she doesn't know that all this is planned by the third aunt in secret." Fei'er was exposed, not only would she not notice her as a chess piece, but she was also happy to see her make a fool of herself. I doubt ......"
Murong Xi pondered for a moment, and then said, "I suspect that Fei'er won't even inform the third aunt......"
Zhang Wenxin was puzzled: "Why?" ”
Murong Xi explained: "Fei'er was born to the third uncle's concubine, Xiao Han, although this Xiao Han and the third aunt were born in the Han Mansion together and are sisters in their mother's family, they were not born to the same mother. In the future, there is no one and no one in the battle for the family business, this wife and a concubine seem to be blended with oil in honey, and it is inevitable that they will look different from each other. ”
After that, he smiled kindly: "My body is just a little better, don't think so much, go to bed early." ”
Zhang Wenxin shook his head again and again: "No, no, no, I've been lying down for a day, I'm not sleepy at all, and I can't sleep." ”
Murong Xi extinguished the last candle and rolled on the couch: "Then I'll sleep." ”
"Eh......"
Zhang Wen was still unsatisfied, and called out. Then I thought that she had been lying down for a day, but she was tired for a whole day, and when she came back, she was busy until midnight. So, I stopped shouting and closed my eyes to rest. Probably before Murong Xi fell asleep, she had already fallen asleep.
This day is full of spring, and this day is a blue sky.
Early in the morning, the Gui family and the Han family dressed up and rushed to their homes to see the excitement of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion.
Last night's movements couldn't be concealed from Mrs. Pang, Murong Xi grabbed the red flower and interrogated Murong Fei, and it had already reached her ears. Mrs. Pang exchanged two words with the two concubines, standing upright, but did not say a word about it.
The old lady knew that this was done by someone, and she didn't have a good rest last night, and as soon as the morning dawned, she heard that Murong Fei punished herself for going to the Buddha Hall and contracted a cold. The old man only felt anxious, so he casually found an excuse to watch the ceremony in the future.
After waiting for a cup of tea, the master came into the mansion.
This "master" has a goatee, dressed in a purple Tianxian cave robe, placket, two sleeves, hem, embroidered with gold and silver threads full of birds and beasts, the sun, moon and stars, and the middle of the back, is a bright yin and yang gossip map.
Walking to the altar, the master shook the dust in his hand and bowed. First, he sat cross-legged on the futon, hummed and chanted a confusing scripture, and then got up and changed to the steel sword, shaking his head and tail.
A yellow talisman fell, and a thick smoke ignited in an instant, only to hear the "master" shout, chanting words in his mouth, chasing the invisible "demon", jumping up and down along the way, slashing horizontally and vertically, and running wildly to the direction of Qingfeng Ju.
"Two brothers and sisters, let's go and have a look."
Mrs. Pang hooked her lips and smiled, and walked forward first.
It was the third child who set up the game, the second one who was reckless, and the one who was killed was Murong Xi and his wife...... Mrs. Pang was happy to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight this time, and only hoped that the two sides would fight to the death, and both sides would lose.
Gui was also happy, thinking that there was a good show to watch, salivating and smiling, and then followed.
However, Han Shi looked back at Xiangmei Courtyard and thought about it a little more. I couldn't see the old lady or Murong Fei, and Mrs. Pang changed her cynicism yesterday again, and suddenly became enthusiastic...... Could it be that what happened during this period?
The heart is thoughtful, and when the feet are slow, the person will fall behind.
Seeing that she was left behind, Gui turned around and greeted: "Brother and sister, come here......"
"Come, come......"
Han Shi responded casually, but at the same time, he secretly explained a few words to the personal maid and asked her to probe the rumors, and then followed quickly.
The "master" killed a few plants and trees along the way, knocked down branches and leaves along the way, and at this time, he had already killed in the backyard of Qingfeng Residence.
"Monster, where to escape......
I only heard the angry shout of the "master", and took a few steps to the door of the bedroom. Just as he was about to break the door and punish the demon, the door suddenly opened by itself, and a beautiful shadow with a long sword suddenly flashed out, and the sword blade turned sharply, like a feather of light in the sky, flying and sprinkling.
Before the "master" could see who was in front of him, he felt that the tiger's mouth was numb, and he was shocked off the stainless steel sword. An exclamation of surprise was shouted out of his throat, and a small footprint was already imprinted on his chest, and the man flew out diagonally, falling heavily under the platform, crushing several peonies.
While the world was spinning, two more servants rushed up and poured him a bowl of medicinal juice without saying anything.
"You...... Ahem......"
The "master" choked and coughed again and again, and sat up with a roll, and saw clearly that what attacked him in front of him was actually a fairy-looking, slim and graceful woman.
"Last night, a living immortal prescribed two pieces of medicine, one for detoxification and one for curing ghosts."
Zhang Wenxin put away his long sword, turned to the side slightly, and smiled at the stunned "master": "Master Daodao, do you know what the effect of this medicine for ghosts is?" ”
The master coughed twice more and struggled to get up: "Ahem...... What are the benefits? ”
Zhang asked: "Ghosts have ghosts, people have the world, people have different paths, and each has its own place." There are six official mansions in the world, and as for the ghosts, they are naturally ...... Send him to see Lord Yama and let Lord Yama clean ......him up."
"You...... How dare you...... Poison me ......"
The "master" retched for a while with crooked eyes, but nothing came out.
Zhang Wenxin straightened up, paced two steps, and finally sighed: "Alas, for ordinary ghosts, this medicine is naturally tried. However, you are a master who can drive away ghosts and monsters, and can change your life against the sky, so you don't have to be afraid at all. ”
The master felt the effect of the medicine, he was shocked and frightened, and his face changed completely: "Fart!" If a person eats poison, how can he be immortal? Bring me the antidote......"
At this time, Mrs. Pang and several other noblewomen, and their entourage were already standing in a courtyard.
Zhang Wenxin raised his eyes and glanced around, and said loudly: "If you want an antidote, it's not difficult." Who will be your last name and whom? What is the intention of causing trouble in the Hou Mansion? Pretending to be a ghost, who is instructed? The same is the same from the real recruitment, you can. ”
The "master" had cramps in his abdomen, cold sweat trickled down his forehead, and he struggled to look back, his eyes falling on Han.
Han knew that something was wrong, stabilized his mind, walked a few steps forward, and said harmlessly: "Conscience, this is ...... What's going on? This master, but your second aunt kindly invited her into the house to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings. What kind of trouble is the Hou Mansion, pretending to be a god and a ghost, how can I ...... The more I listened, the more confused I became......"
Mrs. Pang laughed: "Kind...... It's still a bad heart, I'm afraid that some people's hearts understand it tightly. ”
Han's blindly blamed Gui's for the trouble: "Why did my sister-in-law say this? It's all her own family, and her second sister-in-law is kind, how can she hurt others? ”
Under Han's clever words, at first glance, Mrs. Pang really complained a little bit about the Gui family.
Gui Shi was confused when he heard it, as if he understood but didn't understand, and poked in with a reckless mouthful: "Sister-in-law, what do you mean by this, for the sake of the Tiansha Lone Star in your house, the demon is doing it, I have broken my heart these days, and I invite a master, and I am everywhere, this has no merit and hard work, how can I ...... How did he become a person in the mouth of his sister-in-law who harbored evil intentions? ”
