Chapter 164: Grass Snake Grey Line

However, Yin Die was guarding outside. At first, he could vaguely hear whispers in the house, but gradually the noise disappeared.

While she was puzzled, she was also worried that Li Wan would not be accommodating and would have a conflict with You.

So he tiptoed and put his ear to the door, trying to find out what was going on inside.

But before she could listen carefully, the door was suddenly opened from inside.

Yindie was unsteady for a moment and almost fell into the man's arms.

After finally steadying his feet, he looked up and saw Li Wan, with a red head and a swollen face, holding the handkerchief, passing by him like a trembling wind, and going out as if he was flying.

Yindie didn't know what was going on, so she put her head in a panic and asked: "Grandma, Grandma Zhu, is this... did you two just break up?!"

Youshi shook her head and said, "Don't worry, she promised not to spread the word."

Then he sent Yindie to say: "You can find any excuse to go to Jiao's house again and tell Uncle Jiao that the situation has been stabilized for the time being. If anything happens in the future, we will inform him again."

Just when Youshi unfolded the story, Li Wan first covered his ears and scolded him, and then simply ran away through the door.

But precisely because of such a violent reaction, Youshi felt a little more confident, and planned to wait until the hard work came to fruition before showing off his merits to Jiao Shun.

When Yindie heard that the matter was over for the time being, she felt relieved. She clasped her hands and recited Amitabha several times before taking the order to go to Jiao's house.

As soon as she left, a little maid came in and reported that Mrs. You was going home with her two daughters and asked if she wanted to prepare a car to see them off.

You hurriedly ordered the carriage and horses to be prepared. Then he hesitated for a moment and called the steward's wife to inquire about the balance in the public account.

"Reply to my wife."

The housekeeper hurriedly replied: "Because I have spent a lot of money on the stove sacrifice these days, there is less than 500 taels of silver left in my account."

It's no wonder that Jia Zhen is obsessed with getting benefits from Rongguo Mansion.

How could this big Ningguo Mansion pass the test last year with only a few hundred taels of silver?

If there is no other matter of building a separate courtyard, I am afraid that there will be a lot of famine!

But now that there was a large amount of income secretly, Youshi naturally did not pay attention to the hundreds of taels of silver in the public account.

Immediately, he hurriedly took out a pair of cards and handed them to the housekeeper, and said: "Quickly collect two hundred taels of silver, put it in a box and send it to the guest courtyard."

Wait until the woman is ordered to retreat.

Youshi rushed to the guest house, shouting and cheering from behind.

As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw mother and daughter who had already packed their bags and were waiting in the living room of the main room.

Youshi laughed loudly and said: "Why are my mother and sister going in such a hurry? I even asked you to stay at my house for a few more days. We are having a lot of fun together!"

This attitude is actually not very affectionate between a real mother and daughter.

But within two years of You’s remarriage, You became Jia Zhen’s house filler, and then You’s father passed away. In addition, the two younger sisters were both born to You and her ex-husband, so there was no blood relationship between the two parties.

.

Even in the first period of time, Youshi secretly resented Mrs. You for killing her father, and for a time broke off all contact with her.

Later, as they grew older and became calmer, the two parties started to interact again, but they still couldn't be said to be very close.

Therefore, now that Mrs. You was talking much more affectionately than before, Mrs. You was a little flattered. She hurriedly stepped forward to greet her and said with a smile, "It's not too early. Although the house is simple, it still needs to be tidied up to celebrate the New Year."

You said a few more auspicious words, and saw the stewardess walking in with the box, and then said: "In that case, I won't stop you anymore. There is some thoughtfulness here. Mother will take it to make for the sisters."

Some clothes."

With that said, he motioned to the housekeeper to present the money box.

After You's father passed away, Mrs. You led her two daughters to live alone, and she never had any real business, so her life went from bad to worse.

Isn't this the benefit you want to take the initiative to visit relatives during the Lunar New Year?

At that moment, Zhi Xi's mouth was twisted, and he kept saying "I can't do it", but his two hands were already facing the money box.

Unexpectedly, Third Sister You actually grabbed the money box first, and while protecting it in her arms, she said with a smile to You: "Sister, your family has a big business, so we won't be so polite to you."

"You kid!"

Mrs. You stared straight at the money box and scolded: "You really don't have any rules, why don't you apologize to your sister quickly?"

"My sisters, why should we talk about the rules?"

Youshi waved her hands, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "I just like my little sister's liveliness. From now on, when I have free time, I will often come to my house to sit and sit. You can also accompany me to relieve my boredom."

"Hey, hey, I'll let her come after the Chinese New Year!"

You Lao Niang repeatedly agreed on behalf of her daughter, wishing she could not let her live in the house permanently.

But Third Sister You flattened her little mouth and sneered: "Sister, what you said is not sincere at all. My family doesn't even have a carriage, and we can't afford a sedan. How can we spend more than ten miles from north to south in this day and night?"

?”

You Shi was pinched by her, and now he just wanted to coax her to keep her mouth shut. Naturally, he didn't care about these details and followed her words: "Then if you have time, I will send a car to pick you up and come to play for a few days. This

Is the head office ready?"

Only then did Third Sister You giggle and call out "good sister" several times.

After exchanging a few words with each other, You personally sent her mother and daughter to the corner gate.

During this period, Mrs. You opened her mouth and stretched out her hands several times to ask for the money box, but Third Sister You dodged her every time.

So when she got into the car, Mrs. You immediately lost her temper and scolded: "What did you do just now? It's a good thing that she was happy today and didn't argue with you, otherwise we could still be asking for it?!"

As he said that, he spread his hands again and said, "Bring me that money box quickly, before you lose it again!"

"What's the hurry, mother?"

Sanjie You smiled playfully as she opened the money box and took out a heavy silver ingot. She sighed and said, "The mistress of the Duke's mansion is different. She just gave away two hundred taels of silver with just one mouthful."

.”

"Two hundred taels of silver?!"

When Mrs. You heard this amount, her eyes turned red. She snatched the money box with her hands, stared at the three big ingots inside and drooled, and said happily: "How can you say this? In the past, it was only thirty or fifty taels at any rate. This time

How could you be so generous in replying to her?!"

As he said that, he remembered that his daughter was still holding one in her hand, and hurriedly urged: "Bring it here quickly, is this something you play with too?"

"I won't give it to you!"

Third Sister You pouted her little cherry lips again: "My mother also said that in previous years, it was only fifty taels at most. Now I have managed to get this much money, so I want to share some of it."

Mrs. You was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and then she remembered that in the morning, the little daughter had indeed gone to see Mr. You again and again.

He couldn't help but wonder: "What does this mean? What did you say to her in the morning? How could she be so compassionate?"

"I have my own way, don't ask mother, I'm afraid it won't work if I tell you."

Sanjie You said proudly. She first put the silver into her sleeve, but it was too heavy to be convenient, so she wrapped it in a handkerchief and held it firmly in her hand.

Although Mrs. You is very curious, she also knows that this daughter has the most ideas. Since she has told her not to ask questions, she will never reveal the matter easily.

So he stared at the money again and coaxed: "You don't need to spend money on weekdays, so what's the use of taking so much money? Let me save it for you, so that I can give you some dowry later."

"

"Why is it useless? It's so useful!"

Sanjie You leaned her delicate body against the car and said lazily: "When it's time to watch the New Year's Eve, let's also add a pot of non-smoking silver frost charcoal, and put it in the middle to make it glow like the New Year.

!”

When Mrs. You heard this, she immediately screamed: "You bought that damn expensive thing..."

"Shh!"

Sanjie You made a gesture of silence and pointed to the driver driving outside.

Mrs. You quickly stopped talking and lowered her voice: "That thing is very expensive. It's better to buy more coal cakes and heat up the stove..."

"Don't listen, don't listen!"

Before she could finish her sentence, Sanjie You shook her head like a rattle: "I have the final say on how I spend my money!"

Mrs. You couldn't persuade her with all her words, but she didn't dare to have a fit in the carriage of Ningguo Mansion, so she turned away angrily while holding the money box.

She was speechless, but Third Sister You refused to give up.

Weighing the money in his hand, he turned to his second sister and smiled: "Next year, I will discuss it with my eldest sister. We will move closer to Ningguo Mansion so that we can take care of each other."

Although Second Sister You also coveted the glory and wealth of Ningguo Mansion, she was not as big-hearted as she was. She didn't know that she had a trump card in her hand, so she smiled bitterly and said: "You girl, don't do anything wrong. If you really piss her off,

I'm afraid we won't have any good fruit to eat."

Mrs. You couldn't help but turn around and said: "I say she's your sister, but after all, she didn't crawl out of my belly. You're so annoying..."

"What are you afraid of!"

Third Sister You didn’t take it seriously: “You all just relax and just wait to live a good life!”

…………

Not to mention how greedy Third Sister You is.

Just say that Jiao Shun humiliated Wen Wen at the desk at noon. While he was feeling happy physically and mentally, he was also thinking about the situation at You's house.

Since it is difficult to sit still, the financial plan will naturally be unsustainable.

At about three o'clock in the afternoon, I suddenly heard someone talking outside, and the words were so slow and soft that I couldn't really hear them.

Jiao Shun thought it was You who sent someone to report, and he quickly opened the curtain to welcome him out to check.

Unexpectedly, what came was a strange woman with short hair.

"Who are you?"

This kind of short hair style was rare in ancient times.

But he saw the strange woman slowly kneeling down and saying in a low voice: "Zhiji'er has met Uncle Jiao."

"So you are the smart one."

Jiao Shun suddenly realized that he had rescued the little nun unintentionally before, and now he only had a few more days to live. He immediately asked: "Is this great for you?"

Zhi'er raised his head and whispered softly, still as if he was swallowing water: "Thanks to uncle, I'm much better."

After saying that, he kowtowed two more times and said: "It's not your fault, sir. I'm afraid my soul has already returned to the underworld. I originally wanted to come over earlier to thank you, but my body is really not up to par."

"It'll be good if it can be relieved. I'll be able to recover as before if I have a good life."

Jiao Shun also heard at this time that she was not deliberately speaking softly and gently, but was actually hurting the foundation of her heart and was unable to breathe when she spoke.

Signing to Yuchuan'er, Xiangling helped her up and let her into the house.

Jiao Shun ordered Xiangling to serve tea and asked casually: "I wonder what your plans are in the future?"

I heard Zhi'er smile bitterly and say: "Now that things are going on like this, I can't go back to Shuiyue Temple. Fortunately, Second Master Bao understands my difficulties and allows me to practice in the newly built family temple in another courtyard in the future."

Because Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang both worshiped Buddhism, there was actually more than one family temple planned to be built in the other courtyard.

Ever since Jiao Shun read the drawings, he has been wondering which one is Miaoyu's Cuicui Temple.

Who would have thought that Miaoyu didn't have any signs yet, so she would be smart enough to move in first.

this……

She won't replace Miaoyu, right?

If so, it is really a pity.

Not to mention the looks of both parties, as well as the difference between original and second-hand goods, Miaoyu showed a lot of intelligence just by practicing hair training - although there are some who are good at this, Jiao Shun really appreciates it.

No bald head look.

Thinking of this, Jiao Shun stared at her head and asked, "Are you going to practice with your hair on?"

Zhi'er shook his head: "I wish I had received the ordination, how can I still lead my practice? I just want to wait until I enter the family temple to perform the ceremony of escaping into Buddhist Buddhism again."

When Jiao Shun heard this, his interest dropped by another third, and he became increasingly worried that Zhiji'er would replace Miaoyu, so he stopped talking.

Zhi'er's mind has naturally matured a lot after going through this life-and-death ordeal.

Seeing that Jiao Shun stopped talking and seemed to have something on his mind, he took the initiative to stand up and leave.

Jiao Shun was just about to ask Xiang Ling to give it away, but he saw her slowly kneeling down again and saying word by word: "Sir, I will never forget your life-saving grace. I will definitely repay it if I have the opportunity in the future!"

As long as you don't replace Miaoyu, it will be considered as repaying the favor.

Jiao Shun cursed in his heart, but said: "Get up, get up. If you are alive and well, you have repaid me for saving my life."

After saying that, he ordered Yu Chuan'er to get more than a dozen taels of silver and gave it to the wise man: "I am living under someone else's roof because I have no worries about food and clothing, so I have to leave some money for self-defense."

Zhi'er thanked her again and again, and then left with great gratitude.

After leaving the house, she secretly swore that if there was a chance to repay Uncle Jiao in the future, she would do it no matter what she liked or disliked.

But after sending Zhi'er away, Xiangling couldn't help but sigh when she came back: "After this tribulation, she has achieved great enlightenment, and she may not be unable to achieve enlightenment in Buddhism in the future."

Jiao Shun looked at what Xiang Ling was talking about, and he actually had a feeling of longing for it. He was afraid that this crazy girl would be bewitched by the Bodhisattva, so he poured cold water on it and said: "What a great enlightenment, she has really hurt her body, and she will not be able to do physical work in the future.

It is also difficult to conceive a child, which basically eliminates the possibility of returning to secular life and getting married. If she does not escape into Buddhism again, she may not have a way to survive."

Xiangling felt a little unhappy when her beautiful illusions were exposed.

By chance, Yindie hurriedly came over again, and Jiao signaled Yuchuan'er to take Xiangling to the south room to persuade him so that he could talk to Yindie alone.

After listening to Yindie's vague description, Jiao Shun couldn't figure it out for a while. He always felt that Youshi seemed to have another plan. However, Yindie didn't know anything after asking, so he could only suppress his curiosity for the time being.
