Chapter 30: The Greedy Wolf

The sky is blue and white, and the snow has not been as frequent as before, and as soon as the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month is over a few days, it will be spring.

After Yao Xue's repeated calculations, Nan Mo finally realized the power of the words "a woman's heart, a needle under the sea". However, there are two things in one, and there is no possibility of repeatedness. Fortunately, the woman never succeeded in these few times. But if that woman has a next time, she will definitely take the initiative and show no mercy.

Yao Yan was scolded by Master Jing, and returned to Yao's house in a gloomy manner, and the housekeeper Liu Cheng came forward and chose an auspicious day for Yao Yan to marry the Zhao Hui woman. Yao Xue still cheekily stayed in Jingfu, and Master Jing didn't say anything to a girl's family. As long as his brother doesn't get into trouble anymore, it is expected that she will not be able to turn over a girl's family.

Nan Mo only said that Master Jing underestimated Miss Yao's ability to cause trouble.

Aunt Hou's belly is getting bigger, and before that, Xiyuan sent evil slaves such as Ya'er and Xi'er. Fortunately, Master Jing took pity on him, and a few clever girls came to serve.

For a while, there was nothing to do, Aunt Hou was pregnant, and people were lazy, so they often didn't need a few of them to serve in front of them, and Nan Mo was also happy.

In front of the Jingfu Gate, two stone lions are tall and mighty, celebrating the New Year's Festival, with bright red silk hanging around their necks.

"Your name is Hanako, just go aside if you have nothing to do, don't stay in front of this Jingfu, so as not to disturb the nobles in the mansion."

A sharp-eyed doorkeeper saw that the stinky Taoist priest was going to lie down next to the door, and said in a fierce voice.

"Dogs look down on people." The dust in the Taoist priest's hand waved, with white beard and white hair, quite a bit of fairy wind and dao bones.

"This Jingfu is about to be in a catastrophe, and you are not all scattered, so it is important to save your life."

"Old nonsense, I think you're too long." One of the housekeepers came out and was about to drive him away.

If this is heard by the old man and aunt, this Taoist priest will be fine, but they will have to be punished.

The family hadn't moved yet, but he wasn't in a hurry, and he was running into the master and Steward Liu going out.

Seeing the person dressed as a Taoist priest, and hearing what he said just now, Master Jing couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Slow, why are you so ignorant of the rules." Master Jing reprimanded the family member who was going to do it, and he stepped forward himself.

Bowing slightly, "Dare to ask the chief, what did Fang Cai mean by that." ”

The Taoist chief did not pretend to be a gesture, and said generously: "The poor road has a glimmer of heaven, and there will be a catastrophe in your mansion." ”

Master Jing's face tightened, "Dao Chief, don't talk nonsense. ”

"Fools are ignorant." The Taoist priest shook his head and was about to leave, "Since the master doesn't believe it, the poor Taoist doesn't want to be a good person in vain." ”

Looking at the Taoist priest who walked away mercilessly, Master Jing frowned, and beckoned again and again: "The Tao is long and slow, the Tao is long and the Tao is wonderful, how can I not believe it?" You stay. ”

The Taoist priest paused when he heard this, and when he turned back, he was already detached.

Master Jing's move is also for a reason, the original Jing Mansion was able to achieve its current momentum in Hucheng, in the eyes of others, it may be Master Jing's ability, but Master Jing knows that all this is due to organic fate.

He originally had an ordinary family background, let alone a rich one, but he dreamed of fifteen at a time, and dreamed that the red carp opened his mouth and asked him to go to the east of the city to find a treasure.

When Master Jing woke up on the second day, he felt that all the scenes in the dream were so familiar, and he went to the Wukou Covered Bridge in the east of the city early in the morning.

As a result, I really picked up the burden at the bridge, and the yellow and clear gold in it filled a whole cloth bag. Later, he made a fortune based on this. Step by step to today, Master Jing feels that this is God's blessing, and he believes in ghosts and gods in his heart.

Every year, the people of Hucheng worship the temple and worship incense, and his Jing family can be said to be the first. Therefore, I saw that this Taoist priest was not like an ordinary liar, pretending to be obscene, but had a bit of a fairy wind and a bone posture. It is true that it is a cultivator.

If you don't believe in the words of this Taoist priest, you can be regarded as believing the majority.

"Does the Taoist know how to prevent this calamity from happening?" Master Jing asked again.

"It's a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster." The Taoist priest shook his head.

"So what's the end of the matter?" Old Man Jing looked a little anxious, could it be that the red carp wanted to accept everything it had gifted?

The Taoist priest groaned and sighed deeply, "This opportunity for transfer is still in the future, but whether you can seize it depends on whether Master Jing is sincere enough." The Taoist priest shook his head and glanced at Master Jing.

How could Master Jing not be surprised, so he summoned the housekeeper Liu Cheng to come over and motioned for him to give him two taels of silver.

Liu Cheng's face was a little gloomy, although he was reluctant, but according to Master Jing's intentions, he took out a lot of silver and gave it to the Taoist priest. In his opinion, this Taoist priest just wanted the Jing family to fish in troubled waters and cheat money.

The Taoist priest accepted it generously, and his expression was not greedy, after all, the play was enough.

Sure enough, when Master Jing saw this, he was even more convinced. If you say that you don't want money, you will come to Jing's house, and it is not credible. If you are too greedy for money, you will not be trusted. It was this old-fashioned and generous attitude that made Master Jing very satisfied.

The Taoist priest stroked his white beard and said unhurriedly: "There will be big people in Kyoto who will come to Hucheng, and that noble person will be the noble person of your Jing family, if the master grasps it properly, it will also be a boost to the future of your Jing family in the future." ”

Master Jing was a little puzzled, "This ...... Even if a noble person comes to Hucheng, I'm afraid it doesn't have much to do with this Jing family. "The Jing family is not an official family after all, so naturally it is not his turn to receive it.

"This noble person seems to have nothing to do with the Jing family, but the relationship with the eldest lady of the Jing family is deep."

Master Jing frowned, "Mi'er? ”

The old way didn't sell it, and said bluntly: "If Master Jing uses it properly, this Miss Jing's future identity will be unspeakably expensive, and Jingfu has climbed into a good family, isn't it a bright future?" ”

Master Jing also understood at this moment that the meaning of this Taoist priest's words was that the nobleman of Kyoto and his eldest daughter Jing Mi would have a marriage.

Master Jing bent down, his demeanor was very respectful, "I also hope that the Taoist chief will give you advice, what kind of identity is the noble person who has a marriage with the little girl?" ”

"This ......", the Taoist priest made a difficult appearance and kept shaking his head, "The heavenly secret cannot be revealed, it can only be said that it is unspeakably expensive." ”

Master Jing took a deep breath, is it too expensive? Thinking about it higher, it is impossible for the Son of Heaven on the throne of Jinluan to come to a border city like Hucheng, so could it be the prince of the Dasheng Dynasty?

For hundreds of years, it is not that there is no prince who has experience in guarding border cities, generally, the emperor's mind is very different, if he wants to give power to whom, he must have a justifiable reason among the ministers.

This side of the city seems to be dangerous, but in fact, General Feng Jingyu had a big battle with the Wu people more than ten years ago.

Although there are exaggerated rumors, Hucheng is indeed calm now, and at this time, an unspeakably expensive prince and grandson can only come here to defend the city, gain a reputation for guarding the border city, and go back with a layer of golden body, so as to go to the next level.

Master Jing couldn't help but get excited, but his face was very hesitant, "Does the Dao Chief know when that noble person will come to this Hu City?" ”

Master Jing is hesitant now, but he doesn't doubt the truth or falsehood, but if he comes over for two or three years, wouldn't it be a waste of Jing Mi's good years?

"Less than three months." Lao Dao smiled slightly.

As soon as he heard the three months from the Taoist priest's mouth, Master Jing put his heart back in his stomach.

I couldn't help but get even more excited.

If this Jingmi can fly up to the branches and become a gold-plated phoenix, their family will have a bright future, which is unspeakably expensive.

Master Jing was still dreaming, when he was interrupted by the Taoist priest, and reminded him: "With the vision of that nobleman, when I came to this city and appreciated the graceful peony of Kyoto, I naturally felt that the peony was bright." ”

"What does the Taoist mean?" Master Jing was puzzled.

"If you want to promote the conclusion of this marriage, this eldest lady must also know that Shu Dali will not let the woman shave her eyebrows."

Master Jing suddenly became worried, in the early years, he didn't let Jing Mi study, as long as he read some women's training and knew women's virtues. How can you learn from those men and read so many books?

Master Jing couldn't agree, "But this woman should never go out of the door, not out of the second door, be a good woman, and learn from those methods in charge of feeding." ”

The meaning of this chief is to let Jing Mi know the book and be polite, that is, to invite someone to teach her to read and learn etiquette.

"What kind of woman do you think the queen mother is today, and what kind of strange woman is the queen mother today? Looking at the world, the real powerful people who are on the side must not be ordinary people standing next to them. If the old man's thinking is still so pedantic, then even if the noble person tastes this porridge by chance, it will be bland and tasteless. ”

That's all the old Tao said, and with a wave of the dust, he left.

Master Jing watched the people leave, Liu Cheng stepped forward and said with a gloomy face: "Master, I think this demon is just a person who sells fame and reputation, how can he take his nonsense seriously?" ”

Master Jing, who has always attached importance to Liu Cheng's opinion no matter what, waved his hand without hesitation this time, and was not ready to go out, so he asked Liu Cheng to send someone to bring the eldest lady to the main garden.

Jing Mi was uneasy, could it really have happened? Nan Mo said that he hit the snake and hit seven inches, and Master Jing's seven inches happened to be the theory of this ghost and god.

In the study of the main garden, seeing Jing Mi's gentle and decent dress, the lake-green floor-length skirt, went to the pearl silk shoulder, and the whole person was even more soft and abnormal, Master Jing nodded with satisfaction.

After instructing her to sit down, Master Jing suppressed the impatience in his heart and made an appearance of earnest teaching, "Mi'er, you are seventeen years old now, and it's time to talk about marriage, it's not that I, the father, haven't bothered about it, but in Hucheng, after all, the place is small, and there are even fewer men who are promising......"

Don't look at Master Jing's attention to Yao Yan, in fact, his heart is the same as Spiegel, when it comes to real swords and real guns, Yao Yan can't be the son-in-law of the Jing family at all.

Jing Mi saw Nan Mo and told Yuan'er to close the door, then he lowered his voice and said, "It's done." ”

Nan Mo saw the joy that couldn't be concealed between her eyebrows, and she was really happy for her.

"One more thing", Jing Mi pondered for a while, and took out something from his cuffs, "I took your deed of sale, and you will no longer be the girl of Jingfu's death deed from today onwards." ”

Nan Mo was surprised, he didn't expect Jing Mi to do this so quickly, it was fake to say that he was not moved.

Jing Mi smiled, when she asked Master Jing for Nan Mo's deed of sale, Master Jing agreed without caring at all. Jing Mi originally prepared a single rhetoric, wanting to use Nan Mo to serve her aunt and save the old lady to persuade Master Jing with affection.

It's a pity that Master Jing is on the rise, looking at Jing Mi, he is satisfied, not to mention the freedom of a little girl, it is a mountain of gold and silver, and he has to find it by all means.

Jing Mi hesitated for a moment, "Are you willing to continue to stay in Jingfu and be my companion?" You have a strong heart, I heard Yuan'er talk about your night, since I have eavesdropped on it in the Yixue School, I must also like to read. It would be a good thing if I could accept the teaching of my husband. ”

Seeing that she didn't answer, Jing Mi explained: "Of course, as long as you want to leave, you can leave at any time, and I will never stop you." ”

Nan Mo believed her words, thought for a while, and quipped: "How does Miss know that I have nowhere to go?" Jing Mi said this completely out of consideration for Nanmo.

Jing Mi sighed, "You are a girl, even if you redeem your free body, where can you go?" I have also understood the situation of the Nan family, and going back is tantamount to re-entering the tiger's den. Do you know if your father will sell you again? ”

"Miss is really beautiful and kind." Nan Mo said directly.

Jing Mi blushed when she was on the spot, she was rarely praised so bluntly, in the past, others praised her always for this and that, and they also praised her around the corner, mostly some ethereal words.

"You girl, what a ghost." Jing Mi pretended to be angry.

Today, her father taught her, and immediately decided to invite Old Master Dong to teach her studies, and also to learn some simple riding and archery kung fu. Jing Mi suppressed the excitement in her heart, walked back quickly, and on the way, she ordered Yuan'er to go to Xiyuan to call Nan Mo over.

This old master Dong is a highly respected and knowledgeable old gentleman in Hucheng. When the old gentleman was young, he was invited to Beijing to be an official of Taixue, but he was proud of himself and was unwilling to take it.

I didn't expect to gain a bit of a reputation because of this, and since then, Mr. Dong has been a private school in Hucheng, but the disciples are all men, and I haven't heard of a female disciple.

Unexpectedly, his father planned to invite him to teach him, which was really unexpected.

No one knows that the old Dao who was invited by Yuan'er to fake and the old Dao of Shangjing Mansion today are not the same person at all. What Yuan'er was looking for at the hexagram stall in the market was just a Taoist priest passing through Hucheng. Yuan'er didn't know how to do things, and after explaining what he wanted to do, he took the money and gave it to the Taoist priest of Youfang.

As a result, the Taoist priest took the money, but he didn't plan to do anything, but took the money and ran away. Let him cheat? No one can say for sure about the affairs of this big family, and if it causes a disaster, it will be difficult to protect itself.

At this moment, the old man, who had white hair, was stroking his beard and giving the ingot of silver to a ragged beggar on the street, who was overjoyed and kowtowed again and again to thank him.

The old man waved his hand, waved the dust, looked at the sun, and said leisurely: "The greedy wolf was born, how could the poor Dao not obey his wishes?" ”
