Dongfu sent someone to pick up the eldest grandmother in the bamboo garden, and Yu Qi took advantage of the time to leave the north mansion and return to Jinghuaxie. During this period, there was no turmoil, and no one cared about the words anymore.

Coming out of the fence bamboo garden, the eldest grandmother hinted to Yu Qi many times that she had not completed the task, that is, she had not been able to find out about the red-haired fox. Yu Qi knew that she was only allowed to recuperate. But when they walked in the fence bamboo garden this time, the general situation also found out one or two:

First, whether the red-haired fox has or not is to be studied.

Second, the old people of Xianyuan Nunnery are not in Beifu, nor are they in the Fence Bamboo Garden. It's such a big deal, I didn't see the familiar faces of the old people.

Third, the fence bamboo garden and the north of the house can not be integrated, like fire and water.

Back in Jinghuaxie, the three of Yu Qi's master and servant gathered around the kang to discuss this matter.

Yu Qi fell into self-blame, he shouldn't have put his grandmother in danger. Sanxi said that the people in Beifu were bad-eyed, and Yi Linglong should take the opportunity to clean them up. Zisu coldly mocked Beifu, but he didn't help the eldest grandmother.

The master and servant were each born to each other, and they did not speculate, but sat sullenly. If it weren't for Zhuang Jue's sudden visit, the three of them would have sat in a daze until the evening.

And Zhuang Yu came, and brought Su Yuan to the side.

I wonder why they came all of a sudden?

As soon as Zhuang Jue entered the door, he happily said hello to Yu Qi first, wishing her that her birthday was imminent, and that every day would be smooth every year. Su Yuan also wished him a good wish. Afterwards, Zhuang Jue said without hesitation: "I heard that my sister went to the fence bamboo garden, and something happened over there. The sister-in-law fell into the water over there, and it was the girl who saved her. I really didn't expect that the girl was really kind. I missee her on weekdays. My sister walked over there, but did she see the red-haired fox? ”

Yu Qi blushed and shook her head, seeing that Su Yuan was there, she felt that she should avoid talking about it.

Zhuang Yu sighed and said, "My sister doesn't have to avoid Su Yuan, I told him." Su Yuan said that there are many red foxes in the world and few white foxes. What is strange about the appearance of a red fox in the house. ”

Su Yuan said with a smile: "It is said that the fox is cunning, the head of the succubus." There is fickleness. There is a poem in the pre-Qin "Shao Feng North Wind" that says: 'Mo * Fox, Mo Black Bandit Wu', who is in ancient books. It's not like I'm talking nonsense. ”

Yu Qi nodded and responded: "What Beizi said is very true, it can be seen that we have read few books, and there are some that we don't remember often." "Collected Poems" has said 'fox, bewitching beast', I have forgotten its nature. ”

Zhuang Ying was very envious when he saw Su Yuan and Yu Qi answering like this, but he had no allusions and had no way to interject, so he shook his head and smiled: "My sister and Su Yuanhu have a discussion." ”

On the side, Zi Su sneered: "In my opinion, the fox is not a bewitching and degrading thing. "The Book of Rites: Tan Gong Shang" said that the predecessors said, "The fox died at the head of the hill, and the benevolence was also", and "White Tiger Tongyi" also said: "The fox died at the head of the hill, and the fox did not forget the original, and Ming'an did not forget the danger". If you say that it is charming, it is not to depreciate this sacred object. ”

Zhuang Jue clapped his hands in disapproval, and Yu Qi and Su Yuan blushed in a hurry, and they didn't dare to reply.

Zhuang Jue said: "In terms of knowledge, the plain girl is deeply hidden. In terms of talent, Su Yuan came casually. In terms of insight, Sister Qi is taller than me. ”

Yu Qiqian smiled and said, "I'm just talking nonsense, third brother, don't laugh at me." "Let Sanxi go and prepare tea.

In the future of tea, Zhuang Jue then said to Yu Qi: "Does my sister know why I came?" ”

Yu Qi naturally didn't know.

Zhuang Jue said: "Tomorrow is my sister's birthday, and I originally said that I was in our house." Today, the old lady changed her mind and said that she had been in Zhongfu. ”

Zi Su said: "Isn't it right? ”

Zhuang Jue said: "It's not good! It's good to go back to our house! Not so much trouble. ”

Yu Qi was puzzled and asked, "What's the trouble?" ”

Zhuang Jue smiled, didn't respond, and looked at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan said: "I also feel in trouble. Your second wife doesn't know who said that there was a red-haired fox in Xianyuan'an, and because the house was not peaceful in the past few days, the red-haired fox came again. Feeling ominous, I want to invite the sister-in-law of Xianyuan Nunnery to pray and pray and celebrate the girl's birthday. ”

After listening, Yu Qi was shocked.

Sanxi came in with the tea tray and heard it, so frightened that the cup and plate fell to the ground.

After Zisu heard this, he was calm, and said with a cold face: "Don't talk about these scaring people. "While helping Sanxi clean up the ground.

Zhuang Jue said: "I also feel that God is chattering, the house is not allowed to offer to the Buddha, originally our Phoenix Pavilion offered to the Bodhisattva, but also moved." Now I believe in it again. However, it doesn't hurt to celebrate my sister's birthday. The picture is auspicious and lively. ”

After hearing this, Yu Qi sneered in his heart. If it is said that Zhuang Fu does not believe in Buddhism and does not believe in demons and monsters, why did he make offerings in the first place? Still taboo? Now you still want to ask your sister-in-law to pray? Last year, Bichi was ransomed by Uncle Zhuang and settled in the old mansion in the south of the city, isn't that old mansion a place to worship ancestors and gods? When I took refuge in Xianyuan Nunnery, I also saw the servants of the Zhuang Mansion go there to offer incense, if you don't believe in gods and Buddhas, how can you have these actions? It can be seen that the people in this house are not as good as the inside, saying one thing and doing another behind the scenes.

In the end, Zhuangfu's behavior disgusted Yu Qi. Listening to Zhuang Yu say this now, she is not good at seizures, so she laughs casually.

Su Yuan said: "Brother Jue came to me and invited me to go to Xianyuan Nunnery with him." Coincidentally, the second master refused to let him go, saying that he had ordered someone to go. I blame him for being reckless, and he is in charge of what no one tells him. ”

Zhuang Jue blushed and said to Yu Qi: "You and I owe my sister a favor, why don't you go if you have such courtesy?" Sister Qi's birthday, so we can only say it when we express our hearts. Besides, you borrowed someone else's bracelet to pour the mold, and now it's time to thank the other person. ”

Su Yuan smiled: "It's you who are embarrassed to see your sister-in-law, so you have to pull me to accompany you." ”

Zhuang Ying smiled and blushed and scratched his head.

Listening to it, Yu Qi roughly understood, so he said, "The two of you are here to tell me about this?" ”

Zhuang Jue waved his hand again and again: "No, no! I was going to see my sister, but I was afraid that my sister wouldn't see me. Because I didn't send my sister back, my sister must be angry with me. I went to ask my sister-in-law, and I sincerely apologized to my sister, but who knows, the second master didn't let me go. In the end, I have to come and talk to my sister and let my sister know my sincerity. ”

Yu Qi smiled: "It's all said, I'm angry with you." Nothing. Rest assured! ”

Zhuang Yu was overjoyed and said, "My sister is really not angry?" ”

Yes, Yu Jue returned to Jinghua Xie from the Phoenix Pavilion in Xifu, Zhuang Jue didn't come to send it, it was Zhuang Jue who escorted him back. Later, he came to find a circle with Zhuang Yu, and knew that she went to Dongfu Rolling Garden, and ran to Rolling Garden.

Now, that's it.

Zhuang Jue said again: "I want to think about it, I can't get my sister's forgiveness if I don't solve it today." Tomorrow's birthday, how can I sit down at the table? I don't have the face to speak to my sister. Now that my sister is not angry, then I will eat a few more glasses of wine tomorrow. ”

Yu Qi nodded with a smile. At this time, I didn't want to think about my birthday, and I didn't want to think about the red-haired fox. Because Zhuang Jue has just delivered a message, they want to invite people from Xianyuan Nunnery to come, if this is the case, they are about to bump into the old people, won't their identity be revealed?

Yu Qi was suddenly nervous.

Zisu and Sanxi packed up the remaining fragments on the ground, walked over to pick up the guests, and said, "Master two, our girl was frightened in the fence bamboo garden for a long time, and then came back to settle Zishen for a while, and you came to scare her again." Do well, let her rest for a while. ”

In this way, Zhuang Ying and Su Yuan are not good to stay.

Before the two left, Su Yuan said to Yu Qi affectionately: "Tomorrow, I will bring a small gift to celebrate the girl's birthday." I suddenly disturbed today, please forgive me. ”

Yu Qi thanked them and sent them out.

After the two left, Zisu and Sanxi smiled at Yu Qi: "Beizi has a heart, is humble and polite, and steady. The third master is a cousin with him, why is the line so far away? ”

Yu Qi didn't answer, and asked Sanxi to close the courtyard door.

After closing the door, Yu Qi said to the two: "Tomorrow, the people of Xianyuan Nunnery will come." What to do? ”

Zisu also heard what they said, so he smiled and said, "The girl is worried about it." The old lady and the four old men knew the identity of the girl. They have the heart to invite, presumably they have banned their mouths in advance, what are they afraid of! ”

Yu Qi said: "Didn't you hear Su Yuan say that it was the second wife who invited it?" My wife doesn't know who I am! But the second master nodded, which made me a little confused. Since the second master nodded, then the second wife also knows my identity. ”

Yu Qi means that since the second wife Cao knows her identity, she shouldn't embarrass herself.

After hearing this, Zisu and Sanxi were stunned, and then they also thought about it.

After a while, Zisu suggested, "Otherwise, go to dinner later, you can mention it to the old lady." ”

Yu Qi shook his head and sighed. For a while, I didn't know what to do. Therefore, he said uneasily: "Why don't you go to Dongfu and give your sister-in-law a word first?" ”

Zisu said no.

Sanxi looked at Zisu's face and shook his head.

Yu Qi said: "We are grasshoppers on a rope. ”

Zi Su said: "It used to be, but it is not today." Girl, do you think that people went to Beifu to help you find out the red-haired fox, but who knew that they were going to ask for peace to the tigress of the second wife. You're going to be wrong. I really don't know what kind of heart this sister-in-law has! The girl doesn't take precautions, and she still digs out her heart and lungs like this, and she will suffer in the future. ”

Yu Qi didn't want to hear this, but he didn't want to turn his face with Zisu, so he didn't say anything, lay down sideways to rest for a while, thinking about why the people in Beifu went to Xianyuan Nunnery to invite nuns? I don't know which old acquaintance to invite to Zhuangfu.

In fact, inviting my sister-in-law to come to the house is the meaning of the Cao family. The reason is extremely simple, there have been accidents in Beifu one after another, first the white-haired monster, then Aunt Nazha's belly, then the red-haired fox, and then the grandmother falling into the water, all of which are ominous. After all, the Beifu controls the financial power and business economy of the whole province, and these strange things suddenly arise, and you must believe it when necessary.

At that time, when the old lady was sent away from the Fence Bamboo Garden, the Cao family was unsettled, and cursed the Yama of the Fence Bamboo Garden Realm and the monster. So, let Guiyuan and Yuyuan discuss, saying that they wanted to invite the monk to do it.

Guiyuan and Yuyuan felt that it was inappropriate to invite monks, and it was inconvenient for male monks not to say it, and these were forbidden in the house, so it was not easy to invite them publicly, and it was not good to settle down when they were invited. Therefore, I remembered the Xianyuan Nunnery that was often enshrined in the house in the past, so I suggested that I invite my sister-in-law.

Cao accepted Guiyuan and Yuyuan's suggestion, and privately asked his mother-in-law to go to Xianyuan Nunnery, and just when his nephew Cao Yingguan came, he asked Cao Yingguan to follow, and took some silver to him, mostly to bribe his sister-in-law, so that the sister-in-law would be forbidden and avoid some entering the house. Here, the Cao family wanted to hide and pass the scene in Beifu, and once it was discovered by the old lady and others, they shirked and said to pray for Miss Qi's birthday.

Later, Cao Yingguan didn't stop talking, and he told Zhuang Ying that Zhuang Ying heard that he was going to invite his sister-in-law for Yu Yu's birthday, so he hurriedly took it on his body, and the reason was as Zhuang Ying said to Yu Yu. On weekdays, the relationship between Cao Yingguan, Zhuang Ying, and Su Yuan is very good, and Cao Yingguan can't withstand Zhuang Ying's grinding, so he agrees. The two quietly let the mother-in-law not have to go, and quietly invited Su Yuan, wanting the three of them to invite together. Zhuang Ying and Cao Yingguan know what to do here, in case they are held accountable, Su Yuan Beizi is present, and the wives are not good to punish.

Who knows, Su Yuan came to find it, and Cao Yingguan said that the second master of the matter of going to Xianyuan Nunnery would not let him go, and he would send someone else instead.

In fact, when the second old man Zhuang Lu heard that he was going to send someone to invite Xianyuan'an, he was not only shocked, but also angry, and hurriedly let people restrain themselves from the precipice, blaming the Cao family angrily. Zhuang Lu is a person who knows the true identity of Yu Lu, the people of Xianyuan Nunnery came to Zhuang Mansion, won't last year's incident be revealed?

Cao didn't understand why Zhuang Lu was so angry, so he quarreled with him. In short, the Cao family did this for the second master and for the Zhuang Mansion.

The husband and wife closed the door, you and I scolded each other in the dark.

The most hateful thing is that Zhuang Lu used this to accuse the Cao family of being a vinegar jar, and he couldn't see that he was good to the fence bamboo garden, so he had to make an accident to get the old lady's attention.

Hearing Zhuang Lu say this, Cao's anger couldn't be suppressed.

This is the real situation of Beifu inviting the sister-in-law of Xianyuanan.

And Zhuang Qi listened to Zhuang Ying and Su Yuan's rhetoric, and only understood one-sided, not all. Now, she is uneasy, for fear that something bad will happen to her sister-in-law, and she thinks about the second wife Cao, who knows her true identity, why does she still treat herself like this? Does the rest of the Zhuang Mansion know about it?

Unexpectedly, the roundabout back and forth, the story within the story, is not the case.

The so-called birthday is the day of life.

Weird! Let's see.
