Before Zhuang Hu approached, Cao Shi had already come down and grabbed her hand and walked straight inside.

When I entered the room, I saw a middle-aged nun sitting on the edge of the kang, a small nun standing on the side, and Aunt Yuan sitting on the stool. Because they saw Zhuang Hu come in, the two people sitting inside got up.

Cao introduced to the nun with a smile: "This is the eldest girl in our house. ”

The two nuns bowed slightly. Cao introduced Zhuang Hu again: "These two are the sisters-in-law of Xianyuan'an. This is Master Pure Light, and this is her apprentice. ”

Zhuang Hu smiled.

Aunt Yuan, who was standing next to her, was not very easy to speak, so she said goodbye and said that she would go to Shouzhongju first. Cao nodded, didn't look at her, and let her go first.

That Aunt Yuan is the second aunt's wife in Beifu and Zhuang Lu's second wife. On weekdays, he rarely gets along with everyone, and he doesn't meet with the Cao family much. It's strange today, I actually lived in the same room with the Cao family to talk about tea. Zhuang Hu turned his head to see Aunt Yuan away, but he was secretly surprised in his heart.

Zhuang Hu didn't want to get involved, so he hurriedly said, "The guests have arrived, and the old lady asked where the wife was." I asked them to look for it, but they didn't see them for half a circle. I was afraid that the old lady would ask again, so I thought that my wife would be busy in her own house, so I came over. ”

The Cao family invited Zhuang Hu to sit on the one hand, and Chunguang sat on the other hand, and sat back on the kang side first, and sighed: "I will have to wait for a while, and I have already arranged the people and things over there." What is the old lady looking for me to do? ”

Zhuang Hu said with a smile: "Because Lao Fujin and Bai Lao Niang talked about family affairs, they surrounded our second sister and third sister to discuss, and there were Tong Mansion and He Mansion sitting on the side. According to this discussion, the old lady and the old lady were not present, and the old lady felt that it was inappropriate. ”

Cao Shi smiled and said, "Ouch, this is really a loss for the birthday of the girl, I invited a few long-lived old immortal stars to bring out the auspicious words." Coincidentally, I'm also worried about the girl here! I didn't care about those two girls, and I didn't do enough for my mother, just thinking about others. ”

After Zhuang Hu heard this, he was embarrassed.

Seeing this, Chunguang frowned and said: "Mrs. is a great good person, and the long-lived old immortal star likes it in his heart, in my opinion, it is true." ”

Cao Shi heard Chunguang lift himself up like that, not to mention how happy he was, and said, "Master also lifted me up like this." It can be seen that I am busy day and night, and I have seen it outside and the gods and goddesses. After a few polite words, he said to Zhuang Hu again: "I can't leave now, you go back and help me top." ”

Zhuang Hu couldn't wait for the Cao family to let him go back, but after thinking about it, the Cao family called him in, was it just to let him see the two nuns?

Sure enough, Cao said, "Big girl, come with me." Motioned Zhuang Hu to go out with her.

When he got to the porch outside, he avoided the nun in the house and whispered to Zhuang Hu: "See? ”

Zhuang Hu raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his eyebrows sharply, and said with a smile: "Ouch, madam, I haven't seen anything." I saw my wife busy in the house. ”

Cao Shi let out a long breath, took Zhuang Hu's hand, and patted: "What are you going to do if you don't let you see it, this time I will see you." I'm not afraid that the old lady and the old man will blame me, and my selfishness is all for the house. ”

Therefore, the Cao family brought out all the strange things that happened in the Zhuang Mansion in the past year and a half, and when it came to the monster in the fence bamboo garden, she was even more worried, and she shed tears.

When Zhuang Hu heard it, he felt that the Cao family was also sincere, and he felt a little pity for her, so he said: "I am also strange, what is the way to do it." Old ladies they don't believe it, they don't allow us to believe it. So, what you're going to do, ma'am, I don't think I heard. ”

Cao Shi said gratefully: "It's up to you." But I didn't hide it from the big girl, I'll tell you the roots. But if the old lady knows, you don't have to jump in. Knowing in my heart why I am doing this, and if you have compassion on me, I will be content. ”

Zhuang Hu could only smile and answer.

After that, the Cao family didn't stay in Zhuanghu, and sent her out.

Sending Zhuang Hu away, Gui Yuan just wanted to turn around and go back to Cao's inner courtyard, when he suddenly flashed and saw a person in the corner of the wall in the distance.

And the person who was seen by Guiyuan was Yi Linglong, and she spied on Zhuang Hu to see if he was leaving. Now, seeing that Zhuang Hu was gone, she was relieved, flashed out from another door, and also rushed to Shouzhongju.

Guiyuan returned to the courtyard and didn't mention what he saw.

Instead, Cao asked her: "Is the second room really gone?" ”

Gui Yuan replied: "Aunt Yuan is leaving, and Mrs. wants to keep her, why should she go?" ”

Cao Shi shook his head and waved his hand: "That's it, I didn't join forces with her until I was dizzy about this kind of thing." Look, I'm the only one left. If you have no conscience and no eyes, the big girl will come when she comes, so why bother flashing first! ”

In the end, the Cao family had some complaints about Aunt Yuan, but helplessly, the person left. In the end, let Gui Yuan and Yu Yuan go and bring a few little girls who can stand their tongues, and instruct together: "After a while, you will bring all the items of incense gifts here." ”

Gui Yuan dared to ask: "Madam, all the people in the fence bamboo garden have gone to live in Shouzhong, and we can't get by?" ”

Cao Shi thought for a while and said, "How can I neglect this." Because he asked Chunguang: "Master, it's been placed here, but can't it be placed in the past?" ”

Chunguang said: "Mrs. said that the monster started from another house, and it should be necessary to go to get it." Now that he is casting a spell in the wife's courtyard, he will only last for a while and a half, and he cannot eradicate the obstacles. If you practice the Dharma in the land where the demon rises, you can be pressed pure. ”

Cao said: "That's done, do what the master wants." I'm not afraid of the people over there, but there is a girl with a strong mouth, and I don't want such a rotten person to collide with the master. ”

Chunguang said politely: "The Buddha said compassion, scolding and bullying, all of which are tribulation cultivation. Don't mind. ”

Cao said: "I'm a person who thinks deeply. Master is not understanding, then let Master you work. What is the arrangement, just say. A few of us here are listening to you. ”

Chunguang looked back at his apprentice slightly, and the apprentice understood, bowed, and went out.

After that, Chunguang said with a straight face: "Let's do it at my wife's place first, and then go to my close relatives' houses to do it." This time is not long, just give the tribute gifts, I plan to burn the rune, let it be sprinkled at the door, and it is over. But in the land of the demon, it will take a little effort, and the time will be slightly longer. ”

Cao Shi listened attentively and exclaimed: "It's okay for the master to be on my side for a long time, but it can be short over there." ”

Pure light material is taboo in Cao's heart. Sure enough.

So, Chunguang said: "It's not impossible, we have nine Tianlong sea lanterns in the nunnery, if you want to shorten the practice time, pay some sesame oil, enough to burn for 7749 days, you can get." ”

Cao is a businessman, and after listening to Chunguang's words, he knew that Chunguang's so-called sea lantern was to beg for sesame oil money. She didn't refuse, and hurriedly said, "Go and take out the sesame oil money!" ”

Gui Yuan looked at Chunguang suspiciously: "How much do you have to take?" ”

Chunguang said: "The cheap nun doesn't dare to speak, it depends on the needs of his wife. If you want to shorten the time, you can invest more sesame oil, more oil, and the longer the burning day, and the time to change here will be shorter. ”

Cao Shi impatiently pushed Gui Yuan and said, "Go ahead!" Don't ask, get a gold bar first. ”

Guiyuan was a little distressed, and finally obeyed the order to get it.

Chunguang was overjoyed, and when the time came, he said to Cao's family: "Mrs. is really kind-hearted, and she will definitely help you do it well." ”

Cao nodded in satisfaction.

When Guiyuan brought the gold bars and handed them to Chunguang, he began to place tributes outside. The appearance of pure light gods and ghosts cast spells. After finishing this courtyard, I was going to go to the girl's courtyard, and the girl from outside reported: "The old lady has passed the word over there, saying that the play has begun." Let the wife pass. ”

Cao waved his hand and said that he knew, and complained and scolded Zhuang Hu: "Why did the eldest girl break her mouth and tell people that I was in the house?" ”

Then let Guiyuan and Yuyuan stay with their sister-in-law to cast spells, and led the two little girls to Shouzhongju.

Arrived in Zhongfu.

Cao's hands and feet were fast, and in the living room of Shouzhong first, he pretended to ask the girl who was cleaning up the broken table: "Are all the things in the kitchen arranged?" ”

The girl replied that she didn't know. Cao scolded casually, roughly saying that the girls only ate what was in the bowl and did what they were doing, regardless of whether others were dead or alive, and then went to the kitchen to take a look. When they got there, the kitchen man had already prepared the dishes, steamed and boiled the pot, and told Cao that it was all ordered by the eldest girl.

Cao Shi was very satisfied, and pretended to find out some small faults, and said a few words of blame, before he relaxed and went to the back of the theater.

Before entering the courtyard gate, I heard gongs and singing from afar. Cao Shi straightened his clothes and hair accessories, exhaled a breath, and then walked slowly inside.

When I got inside, I saw everyone sitting in an orderly manner, the old guests of Gao Shou and the old lady were at the same table, and the Qin family and the county lord were accompanied; The aunt led the girls to a table; Zhuang Yu and Zhuang Pu shared a table with the boys of the guests, the rest were a table for the aunts, and the guest female head of the family had a few more tables. The old men did not come, and a table was vacant in the pavilion in the distance.

At this time, the old lady was watching the play with Lao Fujin and Mrs. Bai and telling jokes. The girls' ears listened to the play, and their eyes were fixed on their tables.

Cao didn't dare to disturb the old lady, so he walked lightly to the table of the aunt and the girl, squeezed Zhuang Ying away, and sat next to Zhuang Xuan. Zhuang Ying was aggrieved, but fortunately Zhuang Yu pulled her and let her sit with her, and endured it. The girl in the back quietly brought the chair, and only then did Zhuang Ying's position.

When my aunt saw Cao like this, she couldn't help but want to laugh at her, but she didn't dare to open her voice, so she only hooked her eyes and laughed shamefully.

Cao Shi also knew, so he lowered his mouth in response, so he leaned his head close to the root of his aunt's ear and said, "I was just busy outside, how early and late will the play start?" ”

Aunt Mi replied slightly: "The play started in the Shouzhong living room, but you didn't come to sing." ”

Cao gently squeezed his aunt's hand and whispered, "It's getting more and more improper." ”

When Zhuang Qi heard this, he muttered and complained, "It's not like we sang it for our wife." There's no room for your face. ”

Cao's eyes turned white, and then he turned his head to look at the families of Tong Mansion and Hefu with a smile, and then asked Aunt Mi: "My two in-laws, have you expressed your position?" ”

My aunt covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Ouch, my wife is not in front of me, and my ears are quite smart." After laughing at Cao's family, Cao's urged her to hurry up, and she continued: "You are not present from the main family, so what do others say?" Fortunately, the old lady went to Baoding in front of Lao Fujin, saying that this year will not be next year, choose an auspicious day, and marry the second girl first. Your second girl is stubborn, she knows shame and hides for a while, but she still says that she doesn't want to marry and go out, and wants to go back to live like her big sister. ”

After hearing this, Cao Shi raised his foot and stepped on Zhuang Qi hard, Zhuang Qi was in pain, and hurriedly got up with a "ouch" sound.

The next few tables screamed in surprise, and they all looked back. Zhuang Xuan looked aggrieved and shed tears, and Cao Shi was pulling her hard to sit down.

Presumably the old lady saw it too.

The old lady shook her head and said to Lao Fujin: "Their in-laws don't dislike it, it's someone else's generosity." I feel sorry for people. My second girl's personality follows her mother's, and she is used to being arrogant, but her heart is still good. ”

Lao Fujin said: "So, do you want her to go out?" It's reluctant, right? ”

The old lady laughed.

At that time, the wives of the Tong Mansion and the wives of the He Mansion both looked at the Cao family and nodded their heads.

Young Master Tong sat at the table with Zhuang Jue, and saw that the Cao family was back, because Zhuang Jue and Zhuang Pu laughed, they also laughed, how could Zhuang Jue not see this scene? I hated it in my heart, and stared at Young Master Tong.

Young Master Tong was shy and hurriedly turned around to look at the stage.

There was nothing to say about watching the play like this, except for the old lady talking and laughing at the table, the rest of the people didn't dare to speak, and when the scene was changed, the old lady asked Yu Qi to sit with her. Yu Qi went to sit down for a while, and then returned to the girl's table.

After singing a few plays, the old lady was afraid that Lao Fujin and Mrs. Bai would be sleepy, so she let the stage stop for a while, and she sent someone back to get a mat to sit on for a few old people. At this time, the old lady turned her eyes to Aunt Nazha and asked her, "I specially arranged to sit far away, and the sound of gongs and drums was quieter." It's quiet, but it's not good. Do you notice anything unusual in your stomach? ”

Aunt Nazha shook her head.

The old lady nodded "um" and said that it would be good, because she heard the grandmother coughing, she turned her head to the grandmother and said, "I got a cold yesterday, even if I don't come, the girl won't blame you." How is your heart so iron? I'll tell you, "Rest, come back again." ”

The eldest grandmother blushed, suppressed the itching in her throat, and whispered: "The old lady cares." I'm fine. ”

The old lady said: "There is still time to eat in the evening, you cough so badly, why don't you go to my place and lie down first, wait for the table, and then send someone to call you." ”

The eldest grandmother didn't dare not listen, and because her throat was itchy, she wanted to cough unbearable, so she nodded in response. So, he got up and saluted everyone, and led the beeswax girl away. Who knows, when Aunt Nazha saw the eldest grandmother leaving, she also got up, followed the example of the eldest grandmother and made a salute, and also went.

The old lady was stunned, looked at Aunt Nazha's back, and said, "I just asked you if you are in the way, you shake your head, is this uncomfortable?" ”

Aunt Nazha still shook her head, but her heels were already out.

Fortunately, the old lady and others did not pursue it, and they did not blame her for being rude.

Only Cao Shi hated and said: "It's not a shame to be lost in your own home, this can be thrown everywhere." Because he was not worried about Aunt Nazha, and was afraid that they would go back to the fence bamboo garden to cast spells, he also hurriedly got up and followed behind.

to the outside.

Cao asked Aunt Nazha and said, "Why did you go?" ”

Aunt Nazha pointed to the grandmother who walked in front of her and said, "She can go, why can't I go?" ”

Cao Shi smiled: "You have to go, no one says about you." I just care about you. If you are not feeling well, go to the old lady's house first, and the hour will be about to deliver. Don't make a fuss and make people laugh at you. ”

Yi Linglong also smiled: "It's rare that this lady is kind." Holding Aunt Nazha, she said, "Lady, it's rare for you to leave with a big belly, so let's go to the old lady's house!" I don't have to go back and run again, and it's a big trouble. ”

Cao Shi looked at Yi Linglong appreciatively and said, "The girl is a human being." Then help me out! Don't let it catch a cold. ”

After speaking, Cao turned around and sat down at the table.

Originally, he listened to the drama like this, but when the drama was over and the meal was arranged, the Cao family went back to Beifu to send the people who took away the Xianyuan Nunnery, and it was over; Who knows, it backfired. Out of thin air, someone came to report that the eldest grandmother had fallen into the lake again, and also brought out the nun who was casting spells in the fence bamboo garden.
