Chapter 353: Create an opportunity if you don't have a chance
In the next few days, Feng Zhiping read books and practiced swords without distractions, actively preparing for the arrival of the exorcists.
Life seems to have returned to the days in the ancestral hall, except for a little free time when eating and listening to reports, the rest of the time is working hard, the degree of diligence is staggering, but the maids of worry-free fasting are worried.
My own young master used to be diligent, but he was not so diligent that he couldn't sleep!
If you sleep for less than two hours in three days, how can this work, your body will be burned!
Qing'er was the first to go to Wudingtang, and after a while, Mrs. Sheng stepped on the hot wheels and rushed into Sanssouci Pavilion, without saying a word, she screwed her son's ears and split her head and covered her face, and only after more than half an hour did she wipe the tears in the corners of her eyes and leave, leaving Feng Zhiping sitting on the bed with gold stars in her eyes, Qing'er knelt down and her face was blue, and she didn't dare to speak.
There is nothing to explain, Qing'er was punished out of the main house that day, and the porch was tentatively sprinkled and swept for ten days to see the after-effects.
Mei'er didn't deal with Qing'er, but she was quite righteous, seeing that Qing'er's kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, she went to Feng Zhiping despite Xiao Tao's obstruction, and wanted to help Qing'er distinguish a few words.
Then, the first-class female envoy who swept the porch became two, and the top and bottom of Sanssouci Pavilion were silent for a while.
"Tell you not to go, why don't you listen!" The kind-hearted little peach secretly gave the two of them the snacks that the young master rewarded her, and counted them smoothly, and finally patted her head with hatred, "It's stupid, it's stupider than me, it's true, I misjudged you!"
The two women looked at each other, crying and laughing, and were regarded as stupid by the whole yard, no, the stupidest girl in the whole house, which really made people feel speechless.
"Qing'er is obviously kind-hearted, how can the young master be like this!" Mei'er was still not poor, looking at the direction of the main house and stomping her feet resentfully, "The young master has changed!"
said that no one could say anything about his own young master, Xiao Tao immediately pouted dissatisfiedly: "The young master hasn't changed! Obviously, the young master punished you because you did something wrong, and you didn't repent and even pushed it on the young master!"
Qing'er knew Mei'er's temper, grabbed her and wanted her to shut up, Mei'er was angry and didn't care about Qing'er at all, and asked: "Are we wrong? Where are we wrong? Lack of sleep will burn down the body, we care about the young master, and we invited Mrs. if we don't listen to our own persuasion, where are we wrong? Like you, we only worry about it, and don't do anything in fact?"
"Mei'er!" Qing'er pulled Mei'er behind her, stabbed her face with a straight face, and then said apologetically to Xiao Tao, "Sister Xiao Tao, don't be angry, Mei'er's temper you..."
"Where is my sister, I'm not angry. Xiao Tao interrupted the conversation and waved her hand again and again, and then said to Mei'er with a serious expression, "Sister Mei'er, I know that you and Sister Qing'er are both kind, but you are indeed wrong. The young master said that he didn't want outsiders to know about the things in our courtyard, and we were all present at the time, and we all heard it, why did you forget it?"
Mei'er snorted: "Outsider? Madame is an outsider?"
"That's right!" Xiao Tao nodded vigorously, thinking about something wrong and shaking her head, and finally didn't know whether to nod or shake her head, and said with a bitter face, "That, of course Madame is not an outsider, but Madame is not a person from Sanssouci Pavilion!
"What kind of logic are you..."Mei'er laughed angrily, and before she finished speaking, she was pulled hard by Qing'er.
Qing'er looked at Xiao Tao thoughtfully, and after a while, she exhaled lightly and nodded with a smile: "Sister Xiao Tao is right, we are wrong." Sister Xiao Tao is wise and foolish, sister, I am ashamed of myself!"
Xiao Tao suddenly blushed, waved her head again and again and shook it into a rattle, Qing'er smiled and pulled her away from the conversation, chatted a few words and then went back to the house to get a small bag of newly bought fructose and stuffed it to her, so happy that the girl smiled and lost her eyes, and after pretending to excuse herself, she jumped away happily.
"A few broken candies are happy like this, it's really... What does the young master like about her!" Mei'er's knife mouth problem is committed again.
In the past, Qing'er would only smile and laugh, and would not talk, but today she turned her head and looked at Mei'er seriously, and looked at Mei'er to the core.
"You, why are you looking at me like this? Do you want to fight?" said as he rolled up his sleeves and hooked up two fists that were whiter and tenderer than steamed buns as Feng Zhiping practiced boxing, "Tell you, I'm not afraid of you! The young master has taught me personally, be careful of being torn off by me!"
Qing'er snorted, hurriedly covered her mouth with one hand, and pressed Mei'er's fist down with the other: "How old are you, still like a child, when ten years ago? Hurry up and put it down, let the little girls below see what it looks like, will they still have the face to teach them a lesson in the future?"
Mei'er blushed, quickly glanced around, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Qing'er shook her head, held back a smile, and said with a serious expression: "The young master likes Xiao Tao because she is obedient, and in this regard, you and I are not as good as her." ”
Mei'er frowned: "What you said doesn't have to do with us..."
"Are you obedient?" Qing'er asked rhetorically, and sighed without waiting for an answer, "I gave my wife an ear report, you are dissatisfied with the young master's decision to defend me, I admit your affection, but neither of us is obedient people." ”
Mei'er choked and said goodbye for a long time: "Who wants your favor, I just..."
It's just nothing, Mei'er didn't say it, and what she wanted to say wasn't this thing at all.
Qing'er looked at the direction of the main house, sighed secretly, and said with complicated eyes: "The young master hasn't changed, but he has also changed, he is more like a master than before." ”
Mei'er nodded silently and imperceptibly.
Xiao Tao thinks that Feng Zhiping has not changed because she has always been the most obedient one, never going west when she directs, never scolding chickens when she screams and beats dogs, unlike them.
They are also obedient, but they have their own ideas, although they are all for the good of the master, but obviously, Feng Zhiping hates them for making their own decisions.
From Feng Zhiping's series of actions after returning home, they can see how wary he is, to the level of "paranoia", and even his parents are wary.
The root of all this is the kidnapping, they don't know what happened during the period, what is certain is that Feng Zhiping's experience is definitely beyond the limit of their imagination, I don't know how much suffering and how many sins they have suffered to be so vigilant, every time they think of this, they feel distressed.
However, why did the young master even guard against his wife?
Is it to take the opportunity to knock them and show them to others, or ......
Qing'er and Mei'er looked up at each other at the same time, and they both saw the same fear and chill in each other's eyes, and then at the same time, they were a little flustered and silent, and for a long time, Qing'er smiled bitterly.
"It's still a little peach happiness, and I want to learn more from her in the future. ”
Mei'er pouted and didn't make a sound, but nodded secretly in her heart, covering her face and smiling bitterly.
Fools have stupid blessings, and they can't do anything earth-shattering, but they can live happier and longer than many people.
For Feng Zhiping, this is just a small episode, there are some beatings, and there are also examples of killing chickens and monkeys.
It doesn't matter if the two of them can figure it out, it's best to understand it, if you don't understand it, just find a reason to send it out, just when the two of them are at the age of marriage, they will find a good family outside and marry out of the Hou Mansion directly, and everyone will have no worries.
At that time, Sanssouci Pavilion can also take advantage of the situation to have a big change of blood, there is a good marriage in front of no one can find fault, the newcomer must be strictly screened, the background is handed over to Niu Chunhan to check, be sure to make their yard into an impermeable iron fence, no one can get in!
It's not that Feng Zhiping is cold-hearted and doesn't miss the old feelings, he is really afraid.
Sneaked into the Hou Mansion and slipped into Wudingtang to kidnap people, and slipped out smoothly, who believes if there is no inner ghost?
It's not difficult to check the rules of your own routine and rest, but in the days before marriage, you were in an irritable mood, and you temporarily practiced in the middle of the night for catharsis, no one outside knew about it, no one knew about it, only people in the yard knew about it, and at least a middle-level and senior maid of the second class or above!
Low-level maids and mothers-in-law are not allowed to go out of the house at night, and the mother-in-law with a family will go back to her house at the point, except for Wu Dong, only Xiao Taoqing'er and four personal maids wait in shifts, and second-class maids such as Biliu Biyu occasionally call for help, among which Wu Dong, who is the most suspicious, has been ruled out, and the remaining suspects are these dozen women who have stayed in the Hou Mansion for at least two years and served him for at least five years after being transferred to Sanssouci Pavilion.
In his heart, Feng Zhiping thought that they were more suspicious than Wu Dong from the beginning.
There is no need to say much about these nonsense in women's hearts, the point is that Wu Dong rarely leaves his side, and Sanssouci Pavilion is a man except himself, no matter what he wants to do, he is very eye-catching.
They are different, in the land and water of Sanssouci Pavilion, each of them has great power.
For example, the recent four Qingmei Taoduo people, they don't have a room, let alone a concubine, the four of them are basically equal to half of the masters as their personal maids, and all the servants in Sanssouci Pavilion obey orders.
Biliu and the others are a little worse, but not too much, as the second-in-command, they who are directly responsible for specific affairs want to do something easier than the four of Xiao Tao.
Of course, this does not mean that low-level maids and mothers-in-law are not suspected, but relatively speaking, these people are more suspicious.
On the day Feng Zhiping accepted Niu Chunhan's allegiance, he asked him to start checking the bottom of these people, but there was no result, and each one was as clean as the records in the personnel book, so except for Xiao Tao, he rarely saw other people after he returned to the house.
If you have suffered a loss, you must not repeat the mistakes of the past, otherwise you will really become a fool.
Feng Zhiping calculated very well, but unfortunately Xiao Tao was too enthusiastic, looking at Qing'er and Mei'er's appearance, she should have figured it out, and she swept the yard every day with a group of low-level maids without shouting bitterness or tiredness, and she looked like she regretted what she was willing to suffer at the beginning. Kiss
Feng Zhiping was very helpless, he knew what Xiao Tao told them, because Xiao Tao rushed back to the main house to offer treasure after the "private meeting", and gave him more than half of the fructose that Qing'er gave her, and by the way, they repeated their conversation word for word, and played the three of them with emotion, which made him laugh on the spot.
He didn't blame Xiao Tao for being nosy, and he also understood that Xiao Tao's treasure was not for himself, but for Qing'er and Mei'er.
This girl knew that she was stupid, and the young master was in the "gas", so she couldn't persuade her at all, so she came to save the country with a curve, and used this clumsy way to show the two that they really knew that they were wrong, knew where they were wrong, and would change it in the future.
Looking at Nizi's expectant eyes, which she tried her best to hide but became more and more obvious, he quietly took a candy and put it in his mouth, symbolically indicating that he accepted the "bribe", and then casually found a reason to send her out.
Xiao Tao left happily, Feng Zhiping looked at her back, and smiled helplessly.
Girl, girl, your young master is indeed angry, but it is not the two of them who are angry, but the idlers outside!
Thinking of this, Feng Zhiping got angry, he worked hard to prepare for three days, and asked Wu Dong to go to the gate of the Hou Mansion to star, if there is a "Heavenly Master" to visit, hold down his father Wu Old Man Don't pick up a big broom to drive people, you must invite people in and bring them to your yard, how many you bring, the more the better!
The result?
Wu Dong guarded the door for three days, during which he was bumped into by Hou Ye, and was questioned by the black-faced Chen, and the old man Wu pulled him with a knife every day, and used him as a negative teaching material for his little followers and the guards on duty at the door, saying what "This is my unfilial son", "The young master is kind-hearted, and I was carried away with three knives and six eyes earlier", "Don't learn from him, Hou Ye is as kind to us as a mountain, we can't forget our roots, we can't help a lot, and we must not be discredited" and so on.
Wu Dong was also scolded before, but it was intermittent, never as continuous as now, the young master made him dare not go, he could only squat on the side, and he was pulled into doubt for three days, and the bubbles in his mouth rushed out one after another, and every time he came back to report, he couldn't help but complain that he wanted to go to the grave to ask the deceased old lady if he was born by his father.
Feng Zhiping was very apologetic, he realized that he had made a mistake, and he was so tired that Wu Dong suffered early.
It takes time to raise money, and it takes time to invite people, so as soon as I received the news, I was anxious to let Wu Dong squat, what's the use?
White squat!
This side was trying to ask Wu Dong to withdraw, and Niu Chunhan came to report with a strange face, Feng Zhiping was speechless for a long time after listening to it, and a fire nested in his heart and couldn't be vented.
According to Niu Chunhan's inquiry, the "enthusiastic" people raised money very quickly, and raised 1,300 taels in just two days.
The money is being raised, and the people who invite people are also sent out, which are the hands of several well-known merchants and families in the city, divided into more than a dozen roads, the most important one is said to go to Puhua Temple, and strive to invite the host there to come and subdue demons.
I have to say that these people still have brains, and they don't dare to come when they know that ordinary "exorcists" give money, so the targets are set on "masters" with a certain prestige and background.
For example, that Puhua Temple, there is an indescribable relationship with Songshan Temple, legend has it that the host of the temple is the high monk from Songshan Temple, in order to promote Buddhism settled in Changping County Dogya Mountain did not return in his life, Dogya Mountain also changed to Puhua Mountain because of his relationship, corresponding to the name of the temple.
I don't know whether the legend is true or not, anyway, Songshan Temple and Puhua Temple really have a lot of dealings, the monks of the two families are either you come or I go, and I will do some Buddhist seminars at every turn, and give some good porridge by the way, which is very prestigious in the hearts of the people of Changping County.
If the host of Puhua Temple really came in person, Chijian Hou was really embarrassed not to let people enter the door, even if the host didn't come to send a few disciples to protect the Dharma and the like, it would be the same, not looking at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, the background of Songshan Temple is still very useful.
The result?
People don't pick up the stubble at all!
According to the report of the spy, the host heard that someone was going to donate a huge amount of sesame oil money, and without saying a word, he received it in person, smiled and listened to the intention, drove the person out with a black face, and threw down two firm and powerful words before turning around - go!
Not only Puhua Temple, but also several other "masters" who received the invitation also had an attitude, as soon as they heard it, they went to exorcise the prince of Jianhou, and their good-tempered heads shook into a rattle to invite people away, and those with bad tempers scolded their mothers directly on the spot.
Exorcise the demon for the precious son of the Sword Marquis, send him to death?!
If you really go, you still have to be burned to ashes by the sword marquis?
If you're sick, get out of here!
There are still a few roads that are far away and I haven't seen anyone, but I think the result is similar.
Feng Zhiping sadly found that he once again underestimated his father's prestige, which was really a god and a ghost retreat, and even the Puhua Temple, which was unclear with Songshan Temple, was frightened off on the spot, and almost turned his face on the spot.
Don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha?
Then you have to invite the true Buddha from heaven, these monks in the world are not good, and the good ones are no longer Puhua Mountain.
"Why? A group of bad seeds, afraid of an egg! My family is not a tiger's den in Longtan, what's wrong with coming around, young master, I'll accompany you to play a show when I'm happy, just make money, why don't you come! A group of cowards, bad seeds, deserve to be poor!"
Feng Zhiping was angry, Niu Chunhan and Wu Dong lowered their heads and smiled bitterly.
Young master, in their eyes, the Hou Mansion is the Longtan Tiger's Den, and people don't know your thoughts, who dares to break into it when they are full?
Waving the two away, Feng Zhiping closed the door and was bored by himself for a day and a night, and suddenly had an idea.
Those people don't dare to come because they are afraid of themselves, but because they are afraid of the old man, it is useless for them to come in the mansion, but what if they go out?
There will be brave men under the heavy reward, there will never be a shortage of madmen who are not afraid of death in the world, the news has been spread, there must be people for fame and profit, and they will "fall alone" to create opportunities for them, and they can't lead to any of them!
What a great idea!
Feng Zhiping slapped his palm hard, and a smile bloomed on his face.
I've been stuffy at home for a long time, and I'm about to grow hair, so I just go out to breathe, and catch a few small fish by the way, the best of both worlds!
"Xiao Tao, call Wu Dong over, and then inform Lao Niu, young master, I want to go around the street!"
Xiao Tao was startled, and shook her head quickly: "No, no, no, the master won't let you go out, you can't go out!"
"If you don't say it, he won't know? I'll sneak out!"
"Secretly?"
"Yes, over the wall!"
"Flip..."Little Peach's eyes are full of circles.
Over the wall?
Isn't that a thief?
Feng Zhiping ignored him and asked to himself, "Do you know where the old man is?"
Xiao Tao was still confused, and replied casually: "No, the master went out with his wife today, it seems that he went to the drunken brocade building." ”
"Drunken brocade...?!"
This time, Feng Zhiping was stunned.
Drunken Jinlou is a green building, dad took his mother to visit the green building?
What's the situation?
Is it a new trick to coax your wife, to expose yourself?
No, we have to check it out!
Feng Zhiping took a deep breath to calm down, and waved at Xiao Tao: "Go, bring my wig." ”
It will take some time for the hair and eyebrows to grow, but you can't go out "bare" with your head, you have to cover it!
