After the second master punished Mengxi and Zhiqiu, he began to eat, and when he saw that Mengxi was still calm, as if he had just punished not her, he couldn't help but be more angry and his face was even more gloomy. He hated her calmness and calmness, as if he didn't care about everything anymore, and he was punished harshly just now, just to see her panic and fear, and wanted her to be afraid of him, know how to cater to him, and please him. A feeling of powerlessness from the bottom of his heart made him extremely depressed, and after taking two bites, he put down his chopsticks and ordered people to withdraw.

Mengxi returned to the east wing, washed up briefly, leaned on the bed weakly, stroked Zhiqiu's red and swollen face with his hand, couldn't help but feel cold, ordered Zhichun to take some medicine, helped it, sighed and said:

"Don't do such stupid things in the future, it's not worth it"

"The second grandmother was punished today because of the slave maid, although she was not exempted from the punishment of the second grandmother, but the slave and maid can accompany the grandmother to be punished, and the heart will be better, the second grandmother should not blame herself."

Mengxi sighed, and asked Zhixia Zhidong to go out to guard the gate, after the two went out, Mengxi ordered Zhichun to close the door, looked at the two of them and said:

"I won't stay in this mansion for long, I will leave one day, you two are willing to go out with me, don't be taboo, just say what you want, if you don't want to, I won't blame you, I will send you elsewhere before leaving the mansion, and try my best to keep you safe."

"Second grandmother, the slave is willing to follow you, no matter where the second grandmother goes, she is the master of the slave and the maid, the slave is born as the second grandmother's person, and the second grandmother is the ghost of the second grandmother when she dies."

Zhiqiu heard Mengxi ask, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and swore an oath. Mengxi frowned when she heard this, why did she say this as if she had stained her innocence.

"Second grandmother, the slave is also willing to follow you out of the house to serve you"

Zhichun listened to Zhiqiu's words, and also knelt down and said.

"Good, good! Get up, this is also your choice today, if we really go out of the house in the future, we will be called sisters, and when there is no one in the future, there is no need to talk so much in front of me."

Mengxi is a modern person, there is no distinction between respect and inferiority in her thoughts, she is too lonely here, she really regards them as friends, and she should know it, but she also knows that she is in a hurry, so she said so.

"Second grandmother, don't say that, the slave and the maid will always be the slave and the maid, how dare you call the master a sister, the second grandmother quickly retract what she just said, you can kill the slave and the maid."

"Get up, all of you."

Seeing that the second grandmother insisted, the two had to get up.

Mengxi continued: "Everything I arranged today is to plan for going out of the house in the future, you just listen, I don't know if this matter can be done, don't tell Zhixia and Zhidong for the time being."

"Yes, slaves know what to do"

"We open a medicine hall outside the house, and the two of you will have to go out of the house often in the future, Zhiqiu, you have to find a way to pull a few small people on the second door, not afraid of spending money, but you have to pick the smart, can take on things, be careful, and be sure to pay attention to the people of the eldest wife"

"Slaves know what to do"

"Tomorrow, the old lady and the eldest lady will go to Jingyun Temple to make incense, you two find a reason to go out of the house again, and take the valuable things in my dowry, be sure to inquire about the details of the pawnshop, but don't go to the Xiao family's property."

"Second grandmother, can't do it"

"There's nothing to do, we need silver to open a medicine hall, a lot of money, and we can't go to the account office to pay, ask the second master, it's even more impossible, my monthly routine is just that, I want to save enough money to open a medicine hall to get the year of the monkey."

"Second grandmother, when is the Year of the Monkey?"

Mengxi was shocked when she heard this, how could she forget that Daqi didn't have a physiognomy yet, and she said it casually, no wonder Zhiqiu didn't understand, she glanced at her weakly, and said:

"It's just when the monkey is in confinement for the New Year"

Seeing that Zhiqiu flashed with two big eyes and wanted to ask, Mengxi hurriedly continued what he had just said:

"We only have this one road at present, the cotton satin and the like are too eye-catching, not easy to take out of the house, and not worth a few dollars, just be those heads, we don't work hard now, we may not even be as good as prisoners in the future, I'm also tired, you all go down"

After Mengxi finished speaking, he leaned there and closed his eyes.

……

The Taizu of Daqi believes that Taoism preaches some side door left skills, and can not enter the hall of elegance, and Buddhism preaches the four truths, the Eightfold Path, the twelve karma and other karma theory, is the avenue, so Daqi has been worshipping Buddha and suppressing the Tao since the founding of the country, and also makes the temples and towers in Daqi all over the country appear like a spring after a rain, and the incense is vigorous, and the large and small temples and towers in Guangpingyang City are numerous, among which Jingyun Temple is the most.

Jingyun Temple is located in the east of Pingyang City, belongs to the typical palace-style layout, the main buildings mainly have the mountain gate hall, the Tianwang Palace, the Big Buddha Palace, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, the Yuantong Palace, the Dharma Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, etc., there are bell towers, drum towers, dining halls, guest halls, abbot's rooms and so on on the east and west sides.

The abbot is a monk outside the world, his name is Mode, the law name is Jingyun, no one knows how old he is this year, legend has it that he has lived for hundreds of years, it is said that he has a quirk, that is, regardless of the magnates, only see the fate of the person, if there is no fate, even if you are a prince and general, donate gold and silver, but also do not want to see him, because of this, the people who come to visit are endless, are proud to see him.

It is also said that this person can eliminate disasters and prolong blessings for people, the virtue is immeasurable, the magic power is boundless, and even the emperor of Daqi has to come to worship once a year in the spring, in order to seek peace and security for the country and the people. Not to mention the families and dignitaries in Pingyang City, most of them worship incense all the year round, and Jingyun Temple is also prosperous because of the incense, plus the vendors of various industries in Pingyang City actually set up stalls here, build houses around the market, set up shops for rent, and after a long time, it has become the most prosperous commercial port in Pingyang City.

Today is the third day of the Xiao family's soup kitchen, outside the Jingyun Temple is even more lively, only to see the Xiao family outside the door in front of the soup kitchen, waiting for the soup kitchen people lined up in a long line, as long as you shout Xiao Erye Hongfu Qitian, say some auspicious words and some New Year's Eve smack, you can get a bowl of porridge, a white steamed bun, the people who got the porridge and steamed bread, squatting on both sides of the road to eat, while eating and talking about the parents in Pingyang City with great interest, the legend of the Xiao family's second master has become the mainstream, and the Xiao family's wife has been rumored to be called by God, it has become a good story in Pingyang City.

Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao took a carriage of more than 40 people to the Jingyun Temple, the vendors, pedestrians, pilgrims on both sides of the road have to give way, and stop to watch, so lively, the carriage passed the archway, all the way to the Yimen, in order to show piety, the old lady got off the car in the Yimen, looked up, only to see that there was a couplet on both sides of the Yimen.

Shanglian is: for the good is not prosperous, the ancestors have residual suffering, and they will prosper after all the suffering

The next link is: evil will not be destroyed, the ancestors have more virtue, and virtue will be destroyed

Under the support of the servant, the old lady passed the instrument door, all the way to the main hall under the steps, only to see that the hall is located on the platform, the top of the glazed hall, the stone carved guardrail, exquisite, the front of the hall casts a large copper incense burner, the incense smoke is swirling, the eaves of the second floor of the hall hang a big plaque, the book is shining with four big words: "Daxiong Treasure Palace".
