He Angelica looked at Huai Dong with his hair scattered without saying a word, that face, that face with a mole on the bridge of his nose, she remembered it very clearly.

In his previous life, He Angelica lived in the firewood room in the backyard, and the steward in the backyard was Huai Dong. At the beginning, there was no bed in the firewood room, and the damp and moldy straw pile slept in the wax moon, which made He Angelica have a lot of small red rashes on his back.

After a while, Huai Dong suddenly became friendly to He Angelica, and built a simple bed for her in the firewood room, and added a half-new quilt for her. He Angelica was full of gratitude, and gradually regarded the firewood house as his home. Just because she was afraid that she would break the golden lock while doing rough work, she hid her beloved golden lock under the bed.

Ten days later, the golden lock was gone, and He Angelica was remorseful and anxious, crying. Then Huai Dong suddenly rushed in, changed his friendly face from before, and said with a straight face, "What are you crying out about in the middle of the night?" Then she tied He Angelica with a rope, hung it upside down on the beam, plugged He Angelica's mouth with moldy cotton, locked the door of the firewood room, and left without looking back.

"Since Master Huaidong took the initiative to ask to search her residence, then her residence must not be afraid of being seen, so it is better to avoid the search." Then He Angelica changed his words, "By the way, I'm very interested in searching her body." ”

Everyone, including Huaixin himself, who reported Huai Dong, first glanced at He Angelica in surprise, and then turned to look at Huai Dong.

Huaidong's complexion changed greatly, knelt at Taishan's feet, and cried: "Uncle Shi, please be the master of your disciples!" I haven't even seen that broken gold lock, and now if I search my body in front of the official, what an insult, how can I raise my head and be a man in the future! From now on, where will I still have a foothold in this water business view? For a while, I cried and mourned, very pitiful.

Taishan has an illegitimate son named Ma Tai, who is nineteen years old this year, and lives in the middle of the mountain. Ma Tai went to the Taoist temple several times a month, and used iron sheets to make buckets and basins. This is a job that Taishan has painstakingly arranged, and the pay is more than four times higher than that of the average cooper. Taishan introduced to the people in the Taoist temple that Mattei was her brother's righteous son, that is, her nephew. Although Mattei's brain seemed to be a little dull, and the whole person seemed dull, there were still many Taoist aunts who went to slap him.

Mattei didn't like to talk to women very much, and somehow he looked down on Huaidong, who was only medium-sized, and often picked a handful of wildflowers from the mountains and gave them to her. No matter what other Dao aunts said, Ma Tai turned a deaf ear and didn't even raise his head; Huai Dong said that he wanted him to do something, and he did it after saying it once. Other Taoist aunts were envious and hateful when they saw it, and sarcastically mocked Huaidong didn't know what obscene means he used to take Ma Tai to death.

And Taishan has been worried about her son's family affairs, and she is happy to see that her son has finally opened his mind. This Huai Dong is the fifth disciple of Taixi, who used to be a maid for a large family, and he has seen the world with some vision, and he also knows how to serve people, and he is barely worthy of her son Ma Tai. Moreover, in her son's situation, it is difficult to choose a better one, in case she is disliked by the other party after getting married...... It's better to find someone who can live, wash and cook for her son, the little couple and the beautiful one, she is also happy to watch.

So, Taishan gave the twenty-four-year-old Huai Dong a fat shortage of a backyard steward, and let her take charge of the account books and keys of the treasury, wanting Huai Dong to save a few pieces of his own money, so that he could bring a dowry when he got married in the future.

A group of old Taoist aunts who have been camping for more than ten years have not touched the key to the treasury once, and their eyes are red with anger, and their lungs are blown up with anger - it has been less than three years since the cheap maid Huaidong came to the Taoist temple, and this kind of good errand with a lot of money should not be her turn! This left her maid at a young age and didn't do it, and ran to the mountains to become a monk, and she didn't know what she had done before she was kicked out! As a result, many people are squeezing Huaidong openly and secretly, but Taishan seems to have treated Huaidong as half a daughter-in-law, so he defends Huaidong everywhere and scolds those who can't get along with Huaidong are all black-hearted. As a result, no one dared to show signs on the surface, and Huaidong has since gained a firm foothold in the water business view.

Taishan frowned, bent down to help Huai Dong up from the ground, squinted at He Angelica, and sneered: "Miss He, Poor Dao has already said that I am willing to pay you for the same golden lock, don't deceive people too much!" Although the lives of our monks are not as valuable as your daughter, we have the blessing of the gods! Even today's holy beings have decreed the three major privileges for believing monks, one of which is 'probation', which means that if there is no real evidence, all accusations against monks can be carried out leniently! Don't you take us in your eyes, and don't you take the emperor in your eyes? ”

Duan Xiaolou and Lu Jiangbei's faces sank, and they looked at He Angelica worriedly, Taishan's words were not wrong. Moreover, now that she has put the emperor on her lips again, if He Angelica insists on searching Huaidong's body, there are nearly a hundred pairs of eyes here, and there are many people, even if she finds the golden lock on Huaidong's body today, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will hold this handle in the future.

Duan Xiaolou further thought that if He Angelica married into the Anning Duan Bo Mansion in the future, then she would be the Lady of the Command, in case his political enemies wrote a book to join her...... Well, now he's overthinking it...... However, it is always better to prevent problems before they happen.

Wearing a hat of "not taking the emperor in his eyes", even if He Angelica is not a wife, but just a flat-headed commoner, she always has a knife hanging over her head. Because, today's saints are notoriously moody, and when they are good, they are diligent in government and love the people, and they go to the land to plow the fields; When he was evil, he used a knife to cut people, and he connected the nine tribes; When he was mad, he tore people with his hands, and even made the skulls of dead people into ornaments and rewarded them to his courtiers.

Everyone stared at He Angelica, some were worried about her, some were secretly nervous, some were gloating, and some were hanging high.

He Angelica's face was inviolable with arrogance, he closed his eyes slightly, and suddenly began to sing: "The light bamboo citrus shell is made of windproof, and the saffron is hidden in it. When I was young, I was young and old, and I knotted it in pairs, and I had to say goodbye to you for a thousand miles, abandoning the old and welcoming the new and throwing it on the side of the road. When I was a child, my mother sang to the slave, my daughter's life was as bitter as Huanglianwa, and she was in tears all her life, and she didn't marry into Dazhumen......"

The soft melody, the lyrics that he had never heard before, and the light voice that was not stained with dust, made Duan Xiaolou feel fascinated, and after a while, he turned to wonder, what is she going to do? Uh, she's going to hypnotize everyone with her singing? Still, the ...... who intend to abandon the search Closing Arguments?

When it was too late, Huai Dong suddenly screamed, "Ahh

"Catch!"

He Angelica's singing stopped abruptly, opened his eyes and shouted.

Liao Zhiyuan, who was closest to him, jumped up and easily inhaled the thing into his palm before it hit the ground. Holding it in his hand and looking closely, he found that it was a silk cloth bag embroidered with three white plums, and the wisps of cold incense overflowed from the silk bag and hit the end of the nose.

Liao Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows to look at He Angelica, and saw that she smiled and nodded, so Liao Zhiyuan ripped open the silk thread of the silk bag and poured out the contents of it.

A golden semicircle was lying in Liao Zhiyuan's big palm, stinging many people's eyes. More people locked on He Angelica with frightened eyes, what method did she use to force Huaidong to hand over the things herself?! Huai Dong just yelled "There are monsters", what does it mean?!

He Danggui turned his head to look at Taishan, and asked coldly: "What else does Mrs. Shi have to say?" In front of the emperor's cha, he openly shielded criminals, do I not take the emperor in my eyes, or do you not take the emperor in my eyes? Shitai, you are a monk, you have both the body of Da Luo Jinxian and the three major privileges, you will definitely not be afraid to go to court and pass the third trial? ”

The Dao girls put away their original contempt and looked at the ten-year-old Miss He in front of them. He was dressed in a plain dress, a pink cloak, and only a small bun was loosely tied on his head, and the bun was tied with green cloth strips, and there was no special decoration. But such a simple dress brings out her natural beauty, and her eyebrows are picturesque.

Taishan heard He Angelica say that he wanted to take himself as an official, and he was furious and glared at the other party fiercely. The pair of paint-like black eyes also looked back at her, as cold as flowing water, and her expression was indistinguishable from joy and sorrow. Taishan only felt cold all over his body, what kind of eyes were that? It's like the chill of a demon ghost fox!

Duan Xiaolou also looked at He Angelica in confusion and asked, "Girl, what happened just now?" ”

He Angelica smiled slightly and said: "Ten years ago, the first craftsman in Persia, Dajieli, came to the Central Plains, and the itinerary was to stay for only three days and leave. The little girl's mother spent a lot of money to inquire about Dajieli's residence, and personally came to the door with thirty brocades, and asked him to make an immortal lock, and it took some trouble to get him to agree. In order to break this lock, Dajieli lived in the Central Plains for two more months. Moreover, although this gold lock only uses one or two hundred or nine coins of gold, it is a Seiko KitKat. After the lock was made, at the little girl's first birthday banquet, a female guest also took a fancy to it, pestering her mother to buy it for eight hundred taels of silver, but her mother did not respond. From then on, the little girl carried it with her day and night to thank her mother for her great kindness. ”

Lu Jiangbei was surprised: "Dajieli? But I heard that Princess Lin'an couldn't invite him once for 300 taels of red gold, why did Lingtang buy him two months' working hours with only 30 pieces of brocade? ”

Duan Xiaolou was also very incredible: "I have heard that Persia is rich in silk and wool, what kind of brocade can enter his eyes?" ”

He Angelica said unhurriedly: "That...... It's another story, and it doesn't seem to be the time to leisurely divert the topic, so many teachers are staring. Lord Liao, please give me the golden lock. Liao Zhiyuan smiled and handed it to He Angelica, only to see her left hand flip the golden lock, and a sharp embroidery needle appeared between the fingers of her right hand.

He Angelica raised his hand and raised one of the small golden boxes, and said with a smile: "The song I sang just now was what my mother loved to sing when she was young. Back then, she asked Dajieli to make a kitsch 'resonance' and put it in the golden lock, as soon as she sang a ballad, the golden lock would vibrate, beat, and even turn to make the baby in the cradle laugh. Originally, only my mother's singing voice could trigger this mechanism, but fortunately, my voice was fifty percent similar to my mother's, and I deliberately imitated it, so that the golden lock could move. However, the amplitude should be slight, and only those who have a close collection can feel it. And Master Huai Dong was the one who hid the lock closely, just now she probably thought that there was something alive in the lock, so she threw it out in a moment of fear.

Huai Dong collapsed on the ground, biting his lip and not speaking. The surrounding Dao Gu automatically moved away from her, causing a large open space to appear next to her.

Lu Jiangbei and the others were amazed when they heard it, all the Taoist aunts had already been stunned, how could there be such a thing in the world! Lu Jiangbei still has a question: "How do you know that the thing is on her body, not hidden in the place where she lives, or somewhere else?" ”

In her previous life, Huai Dong endured for more than two months for this lock before she made a move, how could she rest assured that she would put the treasure she had stolen so hard to put somewhere else.

However, He Angelica couldn't tell everyone like this, so he just smiled and said: "My lord may not believe it, I have carried this golden lock for ten years, and I have a heart-to-heart feeling for it." And, everybody, look at this," she said, holding up another small golden box, "it used to be used for spices, but now it doesn't smell good." How many women don't like incense? Daogu is also a woman, so I guess the person who stole the lock will use it as a sachet. ”

Duan Xiaolou couldn't help but wonder: "With such a delicate incense box, why don't you fill it with incense?" ”

He Angelica's face was as usual, and he just whispered to him: "The little woman is shy in her pocket, and a better incense costs three or four taels of silver a box, so I don't need it if I can't afford it." ”

Duan Xiaolou couldn't help but regret it after hearing this, damn it, why did he ask her such a question? Obviously, a few days ago, he heard people say that even if he wants to take some medicine to recuperate his body, he can only use some medicinal materials with bad color in the medicine house of the Taoist temple, and he was stunned and asked people why they don't use spices!

He Angelica looked at him with a look of regret, and couldn't help laughing: "Master Duan doesn't have to mind, in fact, there is another reason, that is, I am lazy to do it myself." Because it is not at home or in the mountains, it is not difficult to think of some fragrant petals and pollen, and after drying, you can also fill the gold lock, but I am too lazy to use incense. Moreover, it's normal for a little girl to have no money. ”

Duan Xiaolou looked at her smiling appearance, and felt pity in his heart, this woman was very different from what he had seen before...... Liao Zhiyuan smashed his waist and eyes, and hummed in a nasal voice: "Duan Shao, I'm sorry to interrupt your intimate whispering, but please raise your eyelids and look over there-"

Duan Xiaolou noticed that on the other side of the alley, Taishan had already led all the Dao aunts to kneel on the ground, waiting for Jinyiwei to speak to deal with them. Probably wanting to lower their posture to gain sympathy, many people fell to the ground and sobbed, but unfortunately it only thundered and did not rain.
