Chapter 183: The Weeping White Lotus (1)
"This little stone, what time has it been, why hasn't it arrived yet?" In the evening, Nie Xiaohu stood at the door of the front hall of the fast catching room, looking at the sunset in the west and muttering.
"Tiger head, Xiao Maozi has already gone to his house to call him, and it is estimated that he will be there in a while", Liu Zhenxiao said on the side.
"Look! Isn't that coming! Liu Zhenxiao pointed ahead with his hand.
Two figures appeared at the gate of the courtyard of the fast house, it was Shi Yuning and Mao Guangjian, and the two walked quickly towards Nie Xiaohu, but it seemed that Shi Yuning's face was a little wrong.
"Tiger head, you give a review!" , Mao Guangjian said as soon as he approached.
"What's wrong with you?" , Nie Xiaohu asked with a smile.
"Tonight, Cui Yuan's family set up a dust washing banquet for Cui Yuan's outside, and invited Hu Tou'er to the banquet, Hu Tou'er, you thought of our brother in your heart, took us with you, and specially asked me to go to his house to call him, he is still a hundred unwilling, do you say that you are angry or not?"
"Oh?" , Nie Xiaohu looked at Shi Yuning happily, "What? You're not happy to go? ”
"No, no, no! You listen to him! Shi Yuning waved his hands continuously, "I finally just put my baby daughter to sleep at home, and Xiao Maozi came out of nowhere, and a snort woke up my daughter again, don't you say it's annoying?" ”
"I said little stones!" , Nie Xiaohu just wanted to speak, but Mao Guangjian immediately glared.
"Do you still have a conscience? How long have we known each other, and how many days have you two known each other? You scold me?! Yes?! Yes!? Yes?! ”
"This ......", Shi Lu thought about it, and was speechless, so anxious that he scratched his cheeks.
"Eun!" , Nie Xiaohu nodded again and again when he heard this, and said with a forced smile: "It makes sense! Reasonable! ”
"Alright! Now that everyone has arrived, let's hurry up, so as not to go late and the host's house will not look good! Cao Xiaohui said with a smile on the side.
Cui Yuanwai's house is in Anzhong District, not too far from the fast house, and a few people rode horses for half an hour to arrive in front of Cui's house.
The hall of Cui's house was decorated with joy, dozens of subordinates were busy coming in and out, and Cui Yuanwai and his wife Lu stood outside the living room to greet the guests.
"Mr. Nie catches his head!" As soon as Cui Yuancheng and Cui Yuanwai saw Nie Xiaohu and the others, they hurriedly stepped forward and took two steps, laughed and clasped their fists and saluted, and said: "Mr. Nie is here, my Cui family is really full of brilliance!" ”
"Where, thanks to Cui Yuan's appearance, Nie and a few brothers came to ask for a glass of wine!" , Nie Xiaohu also smiled and hugged his fists in return.
"Mr. Nie is serious, please come in! Come in! ”
Nie Xiaohu smiled and nodded slightly, and stepped into the living room, after a quarter of an hour or so, the guests all came, everyone sat down at the table, Nie Xiaohu, Cao Xiaohui and Cui Yuanwai and several guests sat at a table, Tang Yibin and others sat at a table with the rest of the guests.
Nie Xiaohu glanced at several other guests at the same table, there were men and women among the guests, the most strange thing for Nie Xiaohu was that there was a young monk among the guests, this person was wearing a robe, he looked like he was in his early twenties, his face was very delicate, if he changed his clothes and grew his hair, he must be a beautiful man.
"Why did you invite a monk?" , Nie Xiaohu had a slight doubt in his heart, but he still maintained a smile on his face.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
At this time, a pretty girl beside Cui Yuancheng stood up, lightly opened her lips and said slowly: "Little girl Cui Mingzhu, today is the day my father returned from going out to do business, my father has been out for a whole year, and now I have returned safely, all thanks to the blessings of all distinguished guests, the little woman has thanked me here!" Today, a little wine is not a tribute! After speaking, he bowed to everyone Yingying.
"It turns out that this dust-washing banquet is for Zhang Luo!" , Nie Xiaohu said with a smile: "Cui Yuan has a woman like this, what more can a husband ask for!" ”
"Yes, ......", the other guests at the table also echoed with a smile.
Next is the beginning of the banquet, everyone pushes the cup to change the lamp, staggered, drink so lively, after an hour, everyone is already full of wine and food, so the banquet is withdrawn, everyone sits in the living room and tastes fragrant tea, chatting with each other.
During the chat, Nie Xiaohu learned that among the guests who came were Hu Yuanwai and his wife, the Li family brothers, and Cui Yuanwai's big business customers Zhao Xincheng and his wife, the monk was from the White Horse Temple, and his law name was Jinghai.
It turned out that as early as half a year ago, Cui Mingzhu, the daughter of Cui Yuanwai, was worried about her father's safety, so she invited Master Jinghai of White Horse Temple to come to the house to do 7749 days of rituals, pray for his father, and bless him to return safely.
"Roar! What a handsome monk! A very belovedly dressed woman walked up to Master Jinghai.
Nie Xiaohu saw that it was Zhao Xincheng's wife Ma, and at this time, Ma's face was full of charm, and his eyes were full of flattering smiles.
"Amitabha!" , Jinghai clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and pronounced a long Buddha horn.
"The slave family is just saying hello to you, it's really boring!"
Ma snorted, turned around and twisted his waist and walked towards the Li brothers, while Zhao Xincheng smiled awkwardly on the side and continued to talk with Cui Yuancheng.
Nie Xiaohu and Cao Xiaohui also chatted politely with the invited guests one by one.
The banquet party lasted until the end of the day, and Nie Xiaohu and the others also said goodbye and left the Cui family.
Early the next morning, a subordinate rushed to the fast catching room.
"Big... My lord! Oh no! ", the subordinate said breathlessly.
"What's wrong?" , Nie Xiaohu instinctively nervous.
"My young lady, she... She...", the subordinate gasped a few more times, "She's dead!" ”
"Which family are you from?" , Nie Xiaohu asked anxiously.
"Whew!" , the subordinate slapped himself, "I am a descendant of the Cui family, my master Cui Yuancheng, my young lady's name is Cui Mingzhu, you went there last night!" ”
"What? You mean your young lady is dead?! ”
"Yes!"
"When did you find out? Where is it? ”
"It's this morning, in Miss's boudoir!"
"Let's go!"
Nie Xiaohu waved his hand and strode towards the outside of the courtyard.
