The sun is slightly westward, and the wives in the four mansions gather and kneel in Shouzhong.

The old lady pointed and asked the county lord: "I heard that the jewel was sent quietly, did she inform her at home?" You treat her as a young lady in the house, where do you plan to bury her? ”

When these words came out, everyone knew where the old lady was dissatisfied, so they looked at the county lord. How dare the county lord deceive, he replied, and said: "Please ask the second master and the eldest aunt to help, find her family, tell the reason, and at the same time send all the pensions." Hearing that we gave us a good name, her family was also very happy, and her family did not ask for where to be buried. ”

The old lady said: "If others don't ask for it, you can do whatever you want?" There's also a way to bury it in a corner. This is said in an unpolite manner, let alone in a shameless manner.

The county lord said with a red face: "In order to appease the hearts of the people in the mansion, we will make a total of let her be cremated and ascended to immortality." ”

In fact, the old lady only heard that the jewel was gone, but she didn't know why the jewel died or how it died. This kind of strange treatment and burial, her old man also thought that the people of Zhuangfu could not live with others, so there were these contrived. Thinking of this, I don't delve into it.

Therefore, the old lady pulled the corners of her mouth, full of sarcasm, and said: "Heaven is a fairy family, and it is also a good place to go." If you want to have peace in your heart, then burn a few jars of incense and candles. He instructed Zhu'er: "Those who have nothing to do, they should be busy." "I can't put it enough.

Zhu'er complied, and asked all the people who were waiting to go down, leaving only the masters in the house. dismissed the people, Zhu'er went back and forth, saying that he was busy, and he was even more interested, and he had to leave without making a sound.

The old lady said again, "You invite Master Pudu in." ”

Before Pudu came to the house, the old lady couldn't help but be curious and asked them, "How did Baozhu die?" If you have to cremate people, what good is it if you are cremated, and your soul is scattered? I don't know what wrongs people created in their previous lives to make you so ruined. ”

No one answered.

Seeing that the adults were silent, Zhuang Xuan said quickly: "Old lady, it's good to be cremated." Otherwise, it will be difficult for our house to be at peace in the future. The orb was hanged in our house, on the old locust tree outside your house. ”

The old lady was shocked.

Zhuang Lu angrily scolded his daughter Zhuang Xuan, and Zhuang Xuan quickly shut up.

The old lady trembled, unable to calm down for a long time, and stared at the people below.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the county lord poured out his words about how he heard that the jewel was hanged that day, how she and the third master came to see, how she carried it back to Xifu, and how she worried about the old lady's body.

Zhuang Lu also added: "On the night before he died, Baozhu came to our Beifu to ask for something. There was a sign of it, but we all rested, and it was the bookkeeper who had seen her, who would have thought that? It's not about Xifu, she can't think about it herself. ”

Zhuang Lu said, and loudly called the people outside to come in and order, and let the people from the account office of the North Mansion be called. Not long after, the bookkeeper came, and it was the man who saw the jewel borrowing the weighing rod that night.

Without waiting for the old lady to ask, Zhuang Lu said to the man: "Tell the old lady about the title of the treasure pearl girl for the first night." ”

The man said timidly.

After finishing, Zhuang Lu said: "On the morning of the second day, the first person who got up early to work outside saw it, but he was not frightened." He was wearing a red wedding dress, with a weighing stone hanging under his feet, and he had consistent money. The old lady was not in good health for several days, and she fell asleep again, so we didn't dare to report it indiscriminately, so we let it be done quietly. In the end, it's a girl, try not to dirty the old lady's ears and eyes, and make the old lady uneasy. ”

After hearing this, the old lady sighed and said, "It's really well hidden, I don't know it's safe." Now, I know, and you can't hide it, are you safe or not? As he spoke, he asked again, "Why didn't Master Pudu invite him?" ”

So, wait for Pudu to come.

When Purdu entered the house, she saw a room full of people kneeling there, and she stood timidly at the door.

The old lady removed the melancholy and uneasiness on her face just now, replaced it with a smile, greeted Pudu, and said, "Little Master, please come in!" ”

Pudu still didn't dare to enter.

The old lady said: "Here are all the ladies and masters of the house, you have come to see them." ”

Saying this, Pudu slowly entered and stood in front of the old lady's kang.

The old lady said, "There is one thing that suddenly occurred to me, and I would like you to discuss it." The words were directed to Pudu, but in his eyes, he knelt on the ground regardless of the whole family, and continued: "Your master went suddenly, we are all very sad, and I also miss her good. Today, there is a girl in our house who is also immortal, and she must know that your master is leaving, so she will serve her on your left and right, and accompany her all the way to immortality. I thought, if not, in the future, I will set aside a courtyard for you to use as a practice nunnery, and you don't have to go back, just spread the good faith of the Buddha in our house. First, pray for your master, and pray for the poor man who went to the immortal, and second, you also have a good place to go, and you don't have to go back to that kind of place to live a hard life. Do you think so? ”

After listening to this, Pudu's face was a little happy, but he didn't dare to show it, he only frowned bitterly, and folded his hands: "There is an arrangement for Mrs. Lao." In this way, it is my master's Buddha that has saved enough incense and candles, and it is the Buddha who gave her this good fruit. ”

The old lady said, "Then you agree?" ”

Purdue nodded.

Seeing this, the old lady smiled, raised her hand to the people below, and said, "Heard? Get up! You don't have to go to great lengths to kneel and beg people, I will beg for you with my old face. In the future, the incense and oil money will be from your few houses. You have to bear good fruit! ”

Because he thought that Baozhu was a person from Xifu and died outside Zhongfu, and now Chunguang died in Zhongfu again, such a coincidence invited Pudu in to achieve several goals. The old lady's meaning: first, to appease Pudu in case she makes trouble; Second, to appease Baozhu's family, give their family face, and prevent them from making trouble in the future; Third, to reassure the family, in case they are cranky and feel that she is uneasy and worried; Fourth, let Zhongfu Shouzhongju stay away from right and wrong, and let Yu Qi move back in the future, you have to plan in advance.

Although the old lady asked her to get up, no one dared to get up.

Then, the old lady said: "In the past, there was a place in Xifu to pray for blessings and offer Buddhas, but I haven't used it for many years!" ”

The county lord replied tremblingly: "Phoenix Pavilion above." ”

The old lady nodded and said, "Then you can set aside a place in Xifu?" It doesn't take much land. ”

The county lord responded: "Listen to the old lady's * row." ”

The old lady sneered: "I won't arrange this meeting, you are the main family, and it is up to you to decide the horizon and vertical." This way, I'll just take the lead, and I need to arrange it carefully, and I don't have that spirit anymore. Besides, don't you need the good results of such good deeds? What do you have to wait for me to arrange? I pleased myself and hurriedly arranged it happily. In the future, when I return to the West in a hundred years, I will also have a place to foster my soul, and you can also miss me. ”

The county lord listened to the words and felt the sarcasm of the old lady, his face was red and white, hot and hot, and he knelt on the ground, his knees were like kneeling on pins and needles, which was really uncomfortable.

Cao didn't expect such a result, she was very unconvinced, such a good thing fell on Xifu! Beifu is not wrong at all, but falls into a penny, in the end, the old lady also initiated kindness, let Xifu cast a temple for Buddha, is not to lift Xifu? Forgiveness of their sins? It can be seen that the old lady's heart is seriously biased.

Cao Shi prostrate on the ground and said, "My daughter-in-law has something to say." ”

The old lady glanced at me and said, "I'm tired, so you won't let me be quiet for a while?" ”

Cao Shi ignored it and said: "Old lady, it stands to reason that our Beifu manages the affairs of the whole mansion, and we should also take care of such errands of the settlers." Now, you are not going well here in Zhongfu, and Xifu has also encountered such a thing, let the little fairy Gu move to the Phoenix Pavilion in Xifu, I think it is inappropriate, our Beifu is the most large, and it is not for nothing to allocate a place to be a nunnery. I will go back and clean up a place, properly arranged, in the future, the old lady Buddha is good-hearted, if you want to come to the Buddha, you can also get cheap. The uphill stone road of the Phoenix Pavilion into the attic is not easy to walk, the old lady is old, I am afraid that I will tire you. So I took the initiative to ask for the place of cultivation of the Immortal Gu to come to our Beifu. ”

The old lady said, "You are very thoughtful. But I just heard that you have added a villain to the North Mansion, this past, is it suitable or not? You're a wife, and you don't think about it. ”

As soon as these words came out, Cao Shi seemed to be stitched in the mouth, and he didn't know how to say it. At that time, the Qin family in the East Mansion also panicked, you must know that the matter of the heir of the Zhuang Mansion, the one in the East Mansion gave birth to an unsightly person, it is best not to talk about it anymore.

Who knows, Cao Shi paused for a while, did not give up, and said: "It is not suitable for us to be happy in Beifu, but it may not be suitable in Xifu!" Miss Qi is in the Phoenix Pavilion, really let the fairy girl practice there and spread it, and I thought that the girl and the fairy girl had become a monk, this is one of them, and the other is that the wife punished the girl for thinking about it there, but she still didn't care about Miss Qi's thoughts, and Mrs. Gu felt sorry for Miss Qi's heart? To put it bluntly, I don't think the West Mansion is suitable, but the South Mansion is suitable. ”

Cao Shi thought: I can't fall well, and I can't let Xifu pick up cheap.

So, I pushed this matter to Aunt Nanfu.

The aunt and the county lord were supposed to be good, but this kind of push made her a little surprised and embarrassed.

The old lady saw it in her eyes, but she didn't say anything and looked at the county lord.

The county lord said: "That...... Let the fairy aunt go to Nanfu. It's also to make. ”

The old lady said: "The third lady put the girl into the Phoenix Pavilion, is that intentionally to let her be a Buddha?" You are too concerned about my feelings, my Buddha is my business, the girl may not have this heart, you care too much about her, it is better to hurt the five girls more. ”

On that day, the county lord came to ask the old lady for instructions to take Yu Qi to Xifu, saying that he would be punished, but he did not say how to punish him. Later, he quietly asked people to be locked up in Shizhai. This stone was originally a person who committed a crime in the Guanfu. Now, the Cao family has spoken out, and the county lord is very afraid that the old lady will know.

The county lord replied with a word.

Cao said: "Miss Qi is not on the top of the Phoenix Pavilion, I went to see her once, and it was in the stone house!" Although it is not far from the place where the Buddha is enshrined in the Phoenix Pavilion, there is a sound floating away, and we know that the place of Shizhai is also unlucky, so as not to scare Miss Qi. ”

After listening, the county lord hated the Cao family very much, she knew: The Cao family suddenly said this, clearly wanting to get along with himself, with the West Mansion, to say something unpleasant, from today onwards, the North Mansion will tear up its face with the West Mansion.

The county lord took care of the loss and did not dare to speak.

The old lady understood it, and she stiffened her face angrily and remained silent.

Seeing that the impasse was difficult to solve, Aunt Mi said, "Although our Nanfu is small, we can also arrange a place. We six girls and seven girls are young, but we have a kind heart. If the little fairy girl is in the past, she may be able to carry some of them, so that the girl will be more and more grateful for her kindness. If the old lady and the lady are in love, and the fairy aunt does not dislike it, then please ask the fairy aunt to bend and step on the clouds to come to our Nanfu, and I will arrange a place to come after today. ”
