Chapter Eighty-Five: The Buddha Hall in the Backyard
readx;
Linglong put a lot of effort into dressing up, and she didn't look as hot as usual, she looked like a big lady from a big family than Yangmei, and she chewed slowly in small bites when she ate, but after all, she was a surname who jumped out, and there was a kind of child who had to pretend to be an adult, and it was indescribably cute.

Chu Nan and Yang Mei looked at each other, and couldn't help laughing, Yang Mei snorted coldly, stepped on Chu Nan's feet a few times, and was very dissatisfied with this culprit.
Usually when eating, Linglong is chattering about the little gossip from the outside, although he has been taught by Yangmei many times, but he still has not changed his surname, and today he suddenly became quiet, which made Yangmei feel uncomfortable.
Linglong also found that her young lady and aunt were always peeking at her, looking a little strange, and put down the dishes and chopsticks and whispered aggrievedly: "What's wrong with people? Why do you look at people like this?"
Chu Nan couldn't help but burst out laughing, Yang Mei was afraid that Linglong would be annoyed by the smile, so she reached out and knocked Chu Nan with her chopsticks, and after a while, she couldn't help but bow her head and laugh, and the original weird atmosphere was suddenly swept away.
Linglong may also feel that she is not suitable for taking the gentle route, she is a little discouraged, and her originally straight figure is also relaxed, and she puffs up the rice in the bowl, looking very aggrieved.
Although Yangmei often repaired Linglong, she still loved her very much, and put chopsticks and dishes in her bowl for Linglong, and said with a smile: "Stinky girl, you're crazy again! You're still young, don't pretend to be an adult, people will laugh at you." Also, after eating for a while, I went to wash my face, and I wiped it like a ghost, do you want to be scary or what? ā
Linglong has been pretending to be a lady since last night, she is very hard and tired, and she has used a lot of rouge gouache that she secretly bought according to her own conjectures, and now she is worthless by Yangmei, which is really sad.
Chu Nan also knew that Linglong was spoiled by Yangmei, and the child's mind was in his mind, and he said with a smile: "Linglong is also a big girl, if you want to learn to dress up, it's useless to learn from your young lady, it's better to go to Furong Street to find Guan He to learn, she is very good at it." ā
Linglong suddenly began to get up, her eyes were gurgling, and she looked very moved, and Yang Mei scolded the white-eyed wolf, and there was no need to stop it.
Yang Mei watched Linglong run back to her hut and didn't know what to do again, and she didn't have the heart to think about it, she bit her lip and glanced at Chu Nan, and snorted coldly, which made Chu Nan very inexplicable.
Chu Nan stretched and squinted his eyes as he looked at the lazy sun outside.
Yang Mei stood up and said a little sourly: "If you want to go, go away, what are you hesitating about? The person who locks you up can't lock your heart." ā
Chu Nan's face was full of innocence, and he spread his hands and said, "What kind of flying vinegar is this?" I don't seem to have said anything. ā
Yang Mei pursed her lips, stretched out her hand to smooth the wrinkles on Chu Nan's clothes, stood on tiptoe and straightened her collar, and said without being salty: "What are you pretending to? I don't know you yet? I was so gentle and considerate to me yesterday, I must have provoked some woman outside, and I felt a little guilty in my heart, right? Hmph, you are a fool, you can't do it freely and provoke so many women, sooner or later you will be tired to death." ā
Chu Nan looked at the red-eyed bayberry, smiled and didn't speak.
Yang Mei didn't want Chu Nan to feel weak, so she stretched out her hand and pushed Chu Nan and said, "Go if you want, I don't want to be a jealous woman!"
Watching Chu Nan gradually walk away, Yang Mei stretched out her hand to support her chin and was stunned, and only sighed for a long time, stood up and shouted: "Linglong, Linglong, you dead girl, come out and clean up the table, where did you die?"
I don't know what Linglong is doing, I agreed from afar, and then there was a scream and the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, Yangmei snorted coldly, and walked out angrily, anyway, it's idle to be idle, and it's not bad to go and play with the child if you have nothing to do............................................................................................................................................. There are still cars and people coming and going on Furong Street, and there is an endless stream of door-to-door gifts, and there are many wealthy dignitaries in Liulu Lane, and ordinary people can't even enter the doors of those high-ranking families, besides, the effect of going to Luliu Lane may not be better than coming to Furong Street.
On this Furong Street, there are most of the six Shangshu, there are two scholars of the current dynasty, and there are powerful generals like Leng Li, even if they are not as hand-eyed as the Chu family and the Yang family, they are also important big people.
Chu Nan is now a rookie who can't be ignored in the officialdom, his family background is excellent, he has a holy family, and he has a bright future...... Of course, there are also some well-informed people who know that the ransomed Oiran is placed here, and when they see Chu Nan, they don't go over to entangle, and they show an ambiguous smile that all men understand from a distance, like this kind of concubine from Qinglou, they have always been a very low-status existence, and such an expression cannot be regarded as rude.
Chu Nan touched his nose stupidly, when he entered the circle of officialdom, he naturally had to abide by some conventional rules, even if a prince came, he didn't dare to put on a posture of reading on this street, Chu Nan had to press the impatience in his heart, and greeted him all the way.
Coming to the courtyard where Guan He lived, Chu Nan couldn't help frowning, and said that the doors of this courtyard were not locked, and the five girls would often come to visit the door, or Guan He would go to the opposite side to visit Mrs. Wang when he was bored, but today he didn't know what was wrong, but the door was closed, and he pushed the wooden door and still didn't move, so he simply slapped it a few times.
There was a crisp sound behind the door, but it was the little girl who came from the Chu family who was waiting for Guan He, opened the door and saw Chu Nan standing outside the door, and was startled, and quickly pushed the door open to let Chu Nan in.
Chu Nan frowned and walked in and asked, "What's the matter?"
The little maid lowered her head and followed silently, biting her lip and glancing at Chu Nan, looking like she wanted to say something and stopped.
Chu Nan stopped, looked at the little maid and said slowly: "If you have something to say, is there anything to hide in front of me?"
The little maid took a step back, looked around carefully, and whispered, "The young master went to see Madame, Madame has not eaten much for two days......... Well, don't say it's the slave who said it..."
Chu Nan frowned, walked quickly towards the house, pushed open the door but startled Guan He, who came out in a hurry, stretched out his hand to support Guan He, who was almost falling, his heart sank, and he sat down with Guan He, who was very weak and vague, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you doing? I heard that you haven't eaten for two days?"
Guan He's face was pale, and his eyes were a little dim when he was bright and cunning, and he said with a reluctant smile: "It must be that little girl who is talking too much, I'm fine, don't worry." ā
Chu Nan looked at Guan He, who was obviously a little weak but strong with five sons, reached out and touched Guan He's already a little thin cheek, and couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you crazy about, what are you doing so much, if you don't want to follow me, you can go." ā
Guan He heard Chu Nan's words and felt both bitter and sweet in his heart, reached out and grabbed Chu Nan's hand, and said softly: "It took me a lot of effort to catch you, how can I be willing to leave like this? I'm really fine." ā
Chu Nan was held by Guan He's hand, feeling that it was a very weak and cold hand, and his heart was even more angry, but looking at Guan He's unusually weak appearance, his heart softened, and he forced his anger and whispered: "It's me who is not good these days, I haven't come to see you much, even if you blame me............"
Guan He lost the charming and pungent shell of the past, only the weakness and pity of his body remained, he reached out to cover Chu Nan's mouth to prevent him from continuing, and smiled weakly: "Don't, now I just feel that you are too good to me, and the good ones make me a little panicked, how dare I not be satisfied anymore......"
Chu Nan listened to Guan He's babbling, looking at the delicate appearance of the shrewd and charming beauty, his mood was really complicated, and then he frowned, as if he smelled a special smell, and got up and walked outside along the smell.
Guan He dragged Chu Nan's sleeve with a bitter face and followed, his steps were vain, like a child who had done something wrong.
Chu Nan followed the smell and stopped in a small room behind the small courtyard, ignored Guan He's pleading gaze, glanced at Guan He coldly, pushed the door in and took a look, his face was very ugly, and he said angrily: "Say! What are you doing?"
This small room is in the depths of this courtyard, it was originally a pile of sundries, I don't know when it was changed into a small Buddhist hall by Guan He, there are many incense candles lit in it, the smell is a little choking, and the fireworks are hazy and I can't see what is enshrined, but it is definitely not an authentic Buddha, and I am afraid that the strange appearance is something evil.
Guan He bit his lip and looked at Chu Nan with pleading but did not speak.
Chu Nan had always hated these things that the gods were talking about, but he didn't expect that Guan He, who had always been shrewd and cunning, would also be superstitious about these things.
No matter what time it is, all kinds of underground religious organizations are indispensable, some are only circulating in the three towns and five miles, some are calling for harmony and vertical and horizontal, influencing the world, some are just where the people who do good deeds and accumulate virtue gather good hearts, and some are the tools of the evil people to make profits and even steal the country.
Chu Nan looked at the smoky appearance in the room, glared at Guan He fiercely, and picked up a small stool on the ground to smash this Buddha hall, not to mention that there is such a Buddha hall in his house It is a big scandal to spread it, just look at the half-dead Guan He to know that this Buddha is not a good thing.
Guan He used all his strength to hug Chu Nan, tears flowed down his pale cheeks, and he choked up: "Don't smash, please, don't smash, did you hear that the explanation is good?"
