The second old man Zhuang Lu arrived, knelt down to greet the old lady, and was concerned about whether the old lady was frightened.

The old lady was very helpless, and she couldn't blame the housekeeper and others. She knew that they had reported the wind to the second master in advance.

The old lady said, "What are you doing?" Motioned for Zhuang Lu to get up.

Zhuang Lu got up and replied: "I frightened my mother, I never thought that I would lose another life." The house was uneasy for days, and the son pondered, if not, ask his mother to live in peace in the north mansion for a few days. When it's done, move back. ”

When the old lady heard Zhuang Lu's words, she felt strange, so she asked, "What are you talking about?" What does it mean that there is no human life again? ”

Zhuang Lu came in a hurry, upset and irritable, he didn't think clearly about his words, but forgot what Xifu told him, Baozhu's death could not be known to the old lady, this time he spoke, and inadvertently revealed the clues, the old lady was careful, and heard a little.

Seeing that he didn't reply, the old lady turned her head and asked the housekeeper: "Wanda, what does the second master mean when he said that there is no life?" Do you have something to hide from me? ”

The housekeeper is in a hurry. The scene in front of her, how can it not make the old lady suspicious? I pressed them more and more.

Zhuang Lu has always been in style, big things into small things, small things into small things, for the old lady, blindfolded once is a time, can not be persuaded to get up, about to say that she is not in good health, believe in the Buddha heart and other words, avoid the heavy and light, say that push this.

The more the old lady listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she was angry, and reprimanded Zhuang Lu and said, "Fart! Ignoring the solemnity of the old Venerable in his daily life, he said, "At the end of the year before and after, only a few days have passed, ah! I didn't have enough lessons in the last round, and this time it's like playing tricks again. I'm telling you clearly, there is no one here in the monastery, so what? We'll send it properly, and we'll do it. Didn't I hide it from you? I don't know what you want, so I do my sneaky hands and feet, guarding me like a thief. When am I a cat or dog in the house, or an inconspicuous grasshopper? The old lady is old and the old lady is short, and the beautiful mother is up and down the mother, and now I really see your faces, they are all united to deceive me, one nostril is breathing, and I want to return to the West as soon as those people, so that I can do whatever you like in the future, and you don't have to worry about who goes, and the emperor is not afraid. ”

Between the angry reprimands, old tears were shed, and they were very sad.

Zhu'er, grandmother and others hurriedly went up to appease. The old lady poured her anger on them again, and changed her tone and scolded: "You also have no conscience. Get out of the way, and come to me with a grinning face, I don't need it. ”

The rest of the people did not dare to persuade them, but they just stood aside and listened to the old lady scolding and crying.

Zhuang Lu really couldn't bear it, and he couldn't say that there was no one in Xifu, and he still hanged his head outside Zhongfu, so he stomped his feet and sighed, knelt on the ground, and begged: "Mother is angry, mother is angry!" ”

The old lady pointed to Zhuang Lu's nose and said, "If you want me to calm my anger, you have to tell me." What have you done these days? Tell me if one piece doesn't fall. Oh, I have laid down my hand to you, and you have opened up the heavens and the earth and proclaimed yourself kings, and you have all passed over me. After finishing speaking, he changed another tone, softened a lot, and said to the housekeeper: "Housekeeper, go!" Call the wives of the four mansions. ”

The housekeeper hesitated to go, but the old lady thought that something was wrong, and then changed her words: "Slow down." Just call your second wife first. ”

The housekeeper responded: "Yes", showing all the embarrassment, said: "The affairs of the Buddhist temple have not been done yet, old lady." If not, let's do it first, and then you can ask the rest. ”

The old lady sneered: "You know a lot about daring to love, listen to your tone, what are you covering!" The Buddhist monastery has been opened, but there are still eight or nine left, right? Don't worry about these, when I was young, didn't I do a hundred and eighty things together? Now it's just a little bit, you feel sorry for me. Go! Hurry up! Don't talk to me! ”

The housekeeper replied "yes" again and again, slowly withdrew, went outside, wiped his sweat and loosened his feet and went to Beifu to find Cao's family.

Zhuang Lu turned his head and motioned to Si'er and asked him to go and pull the housekeeper back. Si'er was frightened, hugged the Yuntai incense case, and hesitated how to leave.

At that moment, Zhuang Lu said to the old lady again: "Mother, although there have been accidents in the house one after another, and it is unlucky to die and mourn, there are also happy things. It's really hiding it from you, we wanted to wait until everything is good and then report it to you, but it's all ours. ”

The old lady laughed coldly and said, "You have this idea, it can be seen that your personality is not as good as your heart pig dog, and its heart is even more punishable!" ”

Zhuang Lu disregarded his identity, and kowtowed again and again to say "yes".

At that moment, Si'er found a gap and quietly withdrew, thinking of calling the housekeeper back quickly.

Seeing Si'er slip away, Zhuang Lu said again: "Mother, the bamboo garden has been given birth and has a boy." ”

The old lady thought she had heard something wrong, and asked in a panic: "What did you say?" ”

Zhuang Lu smiled and said: "There were two originals, but one was broken and not kept, and now it is under maintenance." We thought about how to tell the old lady about this, so we kept it from you selfishly, and wanted to wait for the adults and children to take care of their bodies and get better before telling the old lady. After all, the old lady is a Buddha, and her body is not safe, so she can't stand such a fright. ”

After hearing this, the old lady's face showed a little joy, and the anger in her stomach just now disappeared, and she raised her hand to tell Zhuang Lu to get up, and motioned to Zhu'er to help the second master.

Zhu'er breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly reached out to help Zhuang Lu.

Zhuang Lu got up, but he didn't dare to raise his head, he only hooked his face and said: "My son is not hiding it, please let the old lady calm his anger." ”

The old lady said, "Amitabha, ancestors bless!" That...... I'll have to see. In other words, if you come out of the fence bamboo garden, it should be time for those in Dongfu! Why didn't you see Dongfu come to speak? ”

Although the old lady said this, she was faintly uneasy in her heart, so she turned her head to look at the grandmother standing next to her: "Your little aunt in Dongfu, have you given birth?" ”

The eldest grandmother stood upright and knelt down, lowered her head, and replied: "Back to the old lady's words, our uncle's body, since the old lady closed the courtyard to serve the Buddha, it is not as good as a day, in the old days, I got Mrs. Xifu's medicine, and now, there are many things in Xifu, and we are not embarrassed to ask for it." I serve the uncle every day, and my heart is on the uncle, so I ......"

The old lady said: "You have to go, you are also an uninformed master, when you take care of your girl, you only have your girl in your eyes, and after you have an uncle in Dongfu, you only have an uncle in your eyes." In the future, what does your mother-in-law have, you don't care? ”

After speaking, she took Zhu'er's hand and asked her to help herself get up, the meaning is obvious, the old lady is going out, maybe she will go to Beifu to have a look, maybe she will go to Dongfu.

Zhuang Lu hurriedly came to help and said, "The old lady has thought about it, then let's go to our Beifu first!" I asked people to clean up a big yard for the old lady to live in. ”

The old lady nodded and said, "Take a look!" It doesn't hurt if you can't live there. In the end, I have to come back to take care of the affairs of our Zhongfu. ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard Cao's cry outside, Cao's "old lady" and "old lady" screamed shortly, and between the voices, there were several footsteps, listen carefully, and you can tell that Cao's head should be pulling a tail!

Sure enough, as soon as the old lady and the others walked to the door of Shouzhongju, the Cao family came up and blocked it.

Outside, in addition to the Cao family, there are also Zhuang Xuan, Zhuang Ying, Cao Yingguan, as well as housekeepers, Si'er, etc., and even the little girls who serve Cao's Guiyuan and Yuyuan every day also came.

As soon as the group went up the steps and saw the old lady, they fell to their knees.

Cao Shi burst into tears, kowtowed, and said, "The old lady is punished, please condemn the old lady." ”

The old lady was a little happy just now, but now the situation was like crying and mourning, she was a little displeased, and said, "Follow your master to hide it from me, this crime is inevitable." Get out of the way, I've got to take a look, get out of my way. ”

Cao was frightened, held the old lady's legs and feet, and still begged: "Please stop the old lady, don't go." ”

When Zhuang Lu heard this, he was furious, and said to the housekeeper and others: "Bastard, don't pull her out yet!" What nonsense! Then he said to the old lady in a harmonious voice: "Mother, don't listen to her nonsense, let's go!" ”

The housekeeper and Si'er waited to help Cao Shi get up, Cao Shi pushed them away and did not allow them to get close, raised his head and face, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's not that I want to hide it from you, old lady, I really can't do it, co-authoring is a matter in Beppu, and we can't say anything." ”

Why is Cao in a hurry to put it aside?

It turned out that the housekeeper went to Beifu to summon Cao's family, but only told her: "There is no one in the house, the old lady is investigating the crime, the second master is kneeling there, and the old lady points to see you, Mrs." ”

When Cao heard about it, his legs were weak with fright, and the housekeeper explained who died? Now the old lady wants to do something and so on, but where does the Cao family have the spirit to listen, thinking that the death of Xifu Baozhu is known to the old lady, and the old lady wants to condemn it! cried loudly, pulled out his legs and rushed out of Beifu, at that time, Guiyuan and Yuyuan told jokes with Zhuang Xuan, Zhuang Ying sisters, and Cao Yingguan, and when they saw Cao like this, they all came to chase after them.

At this moment, Cao Shi said again: "This morning, Xifu quietly sent it out, and the jewel will be handled by the girl in our house." Old lady, it's none of our business in Beifu, please let the old lady know. ”

The old lady listened to Cao's words, and was shocked to realize that there was something in the words, and there was something else! Then he withdrew his legs and feet and reminisced quietly. Cao repeatedly cried and begged for mercy, and the old lady probably understood. So, he stood at the door in a daze, not planning to go out, nor did he plan to turn around and enter the house, just staring ahead.

When everyone saw the old lady like this, they didn't know what she was thinking, and for a while, no one dared to persuade her.

After a long time, the old lady said in a deep voice, "That's it! Joy descends from the sky, blessings and misfortunes on both sides. Bamboo, help me in and let me rest for a while. ”

It's very light.

Zhu'er timidly helped the old lady to turn into the inside.

Outside, Zhuang Lu looked like a fool, his hands and feet hung down, and he didn't know where to put it. When the old lady was helped in, Zhuang Lu raised his legs and feet, kicked on Cao's arm with one heel, and said fiercely: "Something that makes no sense to be confused, I didn't hear the reason clearly, and I came to cry and mourn!" Now, your wish has been granted, see how you end! ”

When he was done, he turned his feet and went inside, kneeling down and begging the old lady to stop his anger and surrender his sin.

Cao and others also followed up like a swarm.

In the middle of the house, the people kneeling on the ground were crying and crying, and the old lady was crooked on the kang, closing her eyes and calming down, but she didn't make trouble with them, and she didn't ask questions.

The appearance of the old lady gives people the feeling that she is deeply broken, and her heart is cold.

In this way, from morning to afternoon, a room of people knelt down, neither eating nor drinking, and the old lady was stuffed on the kang. It's all stuffy. Later, a kind-hearted subordinate went to inform the prefectures, and it was said that the old lady of Zhongfu Shouzhongju was angry, and Beifu knelt there, and the old lady was so angry that she lay down. In fact, many people in the government still don't know what happened. The people of Sifu who got the words wanted to ask why, but who could say it clearly?

The pure light of the temple suddenly died, and no one knew about it! Who would have thought that the death of pure light would lead to so many things? Besides, the jewel hanged, this matter was discussed by the four governments, and no one could mention it, and they couldn't know it with the old lady.
