Mrs. Hou doesn't like the people, but the second lady looks pleasing to the eye.

After taking over the stewardship of the Hou Mansion, the second lady raised the monthly silver for the small Taoist temple every month, and raised the amount of ten taels of silver to twenty taels per month.

The ingredients sent to the small Taoist temple are better and fresher.

In order to thank the second lady, Qingxu drew a talisman in return.

Jia Huan, as the transferor, vaguely told the second lady that the talisman was unusual, and asked the second lady to carry it closely.

The second lady narrowed her eyes.

As a second lady from a merchant family, she actually has a wider range of knowledge than the young lady of the official family.

The second lady's family has been in business for generations, and the businessman often runs away, and she sees more people and things.

I know a lot about the Xuanmen of the previous dynasty, and there are many records in the family.

The second lady also knew about the existence of Xuanmen.

Her father even met Ah Piao, and was later rescued by a high monk who overtook Na and Ah Piao.

When the second lady saw a series of performances after Qingxu returned to the Hou Mansion, she realized that Qingxu was not an ordinary Taoist priest, and was likely to be a member of the Xuanmen.

This is also the reason why she agrees with Jia Huan and Qingxu.

The second lady carefully put away the talisman and asked people to prepare a generous gift, which was brought to Qingxu by Jia Huan.

The second lady gave very practical things, not those things that are not useful, which made Qingxu very satisfied.

"Your mother is a nice person." Qingxu said to Jia Huandao.

Jia Huan smiled: "Actually, my mother is more intelligent and capable than my father, but unfortunately in this world, she can only be trapped in the backyard and waste her talent."

Jia Huanzhen thinks that her mother in this life is good.

If she lived in modern times, she would definitely be able to become a self-made strong woman and hold most men under her feet.

Spring is good in March, and the scenery on the mountains is even better.

You don't have to go out to enjoy the view from the comfort of your own home.

At this time, someone came to visit the Taoist temple.

The person who came was accompanied by the Hou Ye, and his status was not low, but the cousin of the current emperor, the prince of Anxi.

Although the prince of Anxi did not have a real position in the court, he had a high status and was trusted by the emperor.

Several of his sons were vigorously cultivated by the emperor and entrusted with important positions.

Therefore, there are many people who want to befriend the prince of Anxi.

Qingxu and Jia Huan went out to greet the prince of Anxi.

Seeing that Jia Huan was also in the Taoist temple, Hou Ye was slightly surprised.

He really didn't know that Jia Huan had such a good relationship with Qingxu.

It seems that more resources can be allocated to Jia Huan in the future.

Hou Ye calculated in his heart.

Prince Anxi was not disappointed when he saw Qingxu so young.

He had heard of the ability of Qingxu.

From Lord Chu.

The matter of true and false Zhen Yanhe is over.

The fake Zhen Yanhe was caught in the capital, and after being identified, it was indeed Gu Chengze of the Yanguo Mansion.

The court is on the run, and it also kills officials and pretends to be officials, which is a serious crime.

Originally, Gu Chengze followed a group of people from the Yanguo Mansion as long as he was exiled, but now, he was directly beheaded by the Autumn Queen.

As for why Lord Chu was able to know about the incident of impersonating an official thousands of miles away in the capital, Lord Chu did not say carefully, but only said that he had the guidance of a master.

However, the prince of Anxi has a good relationship with Lord Chu, and he knows the course of the incident from his mouth and knows the ability of Qingxu.

As soon as the prince of Anxi encountered something strange this time, he immediately found the Hou Mansion and wanted to ask Qingxu for help.

Hou Ye took the prince to the Taoist temple and left, and he did not stay to listen to what happened to the prince of Anxi.

He behaved like a modern broker and intermediary.

However, Prince Anxi and Qingxu were very satisfied with his performance.

Jia Huan also pretended to say goodbye and left, and went home to peep with his senses.

Prince Anxi: "Dao Chief, please save my daughter."

Qingxu: "Lord, what's wrong with the county lord?"

Prince Anxi: "My daughter is missing."

The prince of Anxi had seven sons and only one daughter, so he loved this daughter very much.

The county lord is the treasure of the prince of Anxi.

If a son is missing, Prince Anxi will not be so worried.

Prince Anxi told that a month ago, there was a strange noise in the county lord's room.

The maids wanted to enter the county lord's room to check the situation, but they were stopped by the county lord.

The county lord said that he accidentally knocked over something, and there was nothing unusual in the room.

The maidens believed it.

But after that, the county lord liked to be alone in his room.

As soon as it was dark, he drove the maids out of the room and prevented them from keeping vigil for him.

This is not normal.

But intimidated by the county lord's "***", the maids only dared to doubt and did not dare to speak.

He didn't even dare to tell the prince and princess about the abnormality of the county lord.

The county lord was not happy that his subordinates told the prince and princess about their affairs, and if such a situation occurred, the end of that person would be very miserable.

A month later, the maid Tianming knocked on the door of the county lord's house, but received no response.

Until after noon, there was still no movement in the room.

The maids sensed that something was wrong, and boldly pushed open the door and walked in, only to find that there was no one in the room.

The county lord is gone.

The matter was so big that the maids had to report the matter to the prince and princess of Anxi.

While asking people to find the county lord, the two interrogated the maid next to the county lord.

The maids told the county lord about the abnormality of this month.

A maid said that she heard a man's voice coming from the county lord's room at night, but the next day, no one found any trace of the man.

The maids suspect that the county lord has hit a ghost.

The prince and princess of Anxi also had this idea.

The princess felt that the county lord was captured by Ah Piao, and there was no luck in finding it.

The prince of Anxi was unwilling to give up, he thought of the Qingxu Taoist priest mentioned by Lord Chu, so he immediately came to the door to ask for help.

Qingxu knew what was going on, got up, and said to the prince of Anxi, "Please take me to the county lord's boudoir, I want to see if there are any clues left inside."

Prince Anxi: "Okay, okay, Dao Chief, please come with me."

The two of them took the carriage of the palace and quickly came to the palace.

The prince of Anxi personally took Qingxu into the courtyard of the county lord.

The princess sneered when she heard the maid's report to Prince Anxi and Qingxu.

"What about getting it back? Disgrace the reputation of the royal house?"

The princess didn't believe in any Taoist master, and she thought that the county lord should elope with a man.

The prince of Anxi brought people back, but he brought humiliation on himself, and it also affected her son's reputation, which made people question the tutor of the palace, and made her a housewife who had no face.

She had already said that the prince had spoiled that girl, and sooner or later she would cause trouble and bring the palace to the palace.

It's a pity that the prince didn't listen to her, and only spoiled that girl one by one.

Whoever has so many sons and only one daughter is naturally pampered.

Oh, it's just that the girl's biological mother is the "true love" of Prince Anxi.

The princess picked up the account book and looked at it, not caring about the affairs in the county lord's courtyard.
