Poor monks do not break the precepts

"Master Huai is back." The old man who came out to greet him was the chief manager of the hidden world villa. Shen Changlin cheerfully helped Huai Mingmo, who was getting off the carriage, "Even the old lady has been thinking about you these two days, so you have to wait later Come back, I'm afraid Mr. Ji will send people from the village to look for you along the way."

Huai Mingmo left the few people who were unloading their luggage, followed Shen Changlin to the villa, and said with a smile, "Didn't my mother receive the letters I sent home every day?"

Although Shen Changlin is in charge, his status in the hidden world villa has never been underestimated. He seems to be Huai Mingmo's elder, and he patted the back of Huai Mingmo's right arm lovingly, "How can a family letter compare?" Don't worry if you see people, you always report good news but not bad news when you go out, how can Mr. Ji believe in the letter you sent back? Next time, don't go out sick, you will be too busy, but your body will wear down. "

"Understood." Huai Mingmo heard that the villa seemed to be busier than usual, and it was almost dinner time, and he smelled some vegetables that seemed to be Ye Yuan's favorite snacks, and said with a smile: "Little Ye Yuan came to visit Mr. Xun ?”

"You can't hide anything from you, young master." Mentioning the eccentric little Ye Yuan, Shen Changlin's smile became heavier, "I arrived three days ago, the old lady and the second wife like him, and now even the third wife is pampering him. Make snacks in the small kitchens of each courtyard every day, and send them to him in the morning, noon and evening."

Xinli caught up with the two of them, and when he heard the difficult little Ye Yuan coming, he shook his head and hummed softly, "This little devil just knows that the hidden world villa has delicious food, so he runs here twice every three days."

Huai Mingmo remembered the situation where Ye Yuan deliberately tricked Xin Li because of being scolded by Xin Li, and said with a light smile, "What are you and the child fussing about?"

Xinli rolled his eyes upwards, and said angrily, "I've never seen a kid who can make poison better than him. When did he bring poison that can't kill people, embarrassing Luo Chen and me, I really dare not take him for granted. Treat it like a child, if you take it lightly, one day he will get tired of playing, and we will not be sure if he will simply be poisoned to death."

Thinking back to the last time when Xinli and Luo Chen were foolish in the courtyard, the last time they laughed non-stop by the lake, and the last time they were sneezing for five days in a row... Shen Changlin couldn't help but shout loudly Laughing, "Who told you two to underestimate him when you first met him, and now Xiao Ye Yuan is showing you his skills."

"That should be enough, right?" Xinli couldn't help but tremble when he heard Ye Yuan's name, and looked around vigilantly, fearing that Ye Yuan would suddenly jump out, "No, I have to avoid him during the day, so as not to be victimized again. "

Mr. Ji's Songzhao Pavilion is located behind the ancestral hall in the villa, just across the river. Shen Changlin only sent Huai Mingmo outside the pavilion, and turned around to do business in the villa.The rosy clouds were falling, reflected on Huai Ming's ink and plain clothes, and shone into his dark eyes, shining with hope, the faint smile on his lips became more and more gentle, and wherever his eyes looked, there was light.

"Did Xinli come with you?" Mr. Ji's study room was wide open, so Huai Mingmo could be seen from a distance.

Allowing Mr. Ji to help him into the study, Huai Mingmo chuckled and said, "Didn't Xiao Ye Yuan come here?"

"Have you made peace yet?" Qiao Shaozhi led the little girl from the Songzhao Pavilion into the house, and personally stirred a facekerchief for Huaimingmo.

Qingtao sympathized: "That little doll is very weird, and she also holds grudges, how can she let Xinli and the others go casually."

"When they see Ye Yuan now, they are like rats seeing cats. They can hide if they can." Huai Mingmo smiled, and wiped the thin sweat on his forehead and nose with a warm facekerchief. When everyone in the room evacuated, the corners of his mouth curved slightly Ping said solemnly, "Mother wants to ask me for something?"

Mr. Ji's face was heavy, his brows were slightly frowned with pity, "I heard that you were attacked again in Qingzhou Prefecture?"

Despite repeated warnings, Huai Mingmo knew he couldn't hide it from Mr. Ji, so he simply nodded and smiled slightly: "Since I took over the Xuanji Pavilion, there have been few assassinations. Mother, don't worry, I can still handle it."

"Is it an incense thief? Or... the palace."

"It's strange to say that the woman who helped us out this time was the swordsman who stopped Xinli from chasing the incense thief that day." Huai Mingmo's tone was leisurely and did not give a positive answer, but it was enough for Mr. Ji to know.

"It seems that you didn't protect the incense pirates for nothing." Mr. Ji looked at Huai Mingmo's subtle expression changes, and joked, "Second brother was more thoughtful than me before, it seems that I should seriously consider accepting the incense robbers." Stealing the daughter-in-law here."

Huai Mingmo is now in his twenties. In an ordinary family, he should have married and had children, but the Ji family has never been a pedantic family ordered by his parents, so the younger generations of the Ji family have not yet married .With no family members urging and making arrangements, Huai Mingmo really threw himself into the rivers and lakes and the court, so he was still a loner at this age. Although Mr. Ji was secretly anxious, he did not force him to marry a woman at will.

"Don't mess up the mandarin ducks again." Huai Mingmo couldn't help joking, remembering the jokes that An Jingyue made when she first came to the villa.

"Hey, how did I know at that time that your third aunt already has her own heart." Mr. Ji became angry when he mentioned Ji Duorui, and said angrily, "Your uncle is really too. He has already stated that he will not marry you, so you still have to make do with it." You and your third aunt, fortunately, you and Ah Yue insisted, otherwise it would be a big joke. He is a big man doing things, so what to do so coyly, the old lady was not nearly mad at him."

Huai Mingmo clearly remembered that when Ji Duorui got married, his grandmother was so happy, but when he heard Mr. Ji's corrupt tone, he gave up and didn't say any more.The room suddenly became quiet, and Mr. Ji saw that Huai Mingmo's brows were frowning but not frowning, as if he was worried, thinking that his body hadn't recovered yet, so he asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"Does mother know the wonderful monk Xusheng?"

"That wonderful monk in Shaolin?" Mr. Ji restrained his laughter, his black eyes moved slightly, "Monk Xusheng... I have met him a few times, he is an unpredictable person."

The subtlety of the reply, Huai Mingmo carefully chewed through the hidden meaning of the words, involuntarily hid his thoughts, and said lightly: "Mother, don't you like this person?"

"I can't say whether I like it or not, it's just that although this person appears in the Jianghu, he is as mysterious as the Fragrance Pirate." Mr. Ji paused for a moment, "Not only has he been friends with the heads of the major schools of martial arts, there are rumors that He and the master of the Waterless Palace of the Demon Sect in the Western Regions are also good friends. He went to the market in Northern Meng, Western Shu, Southern Qi, and Western Regions, and went to Wang Sun. There are many people who know him, and his friends are too wide. But that's it, he His past life experience and the depth of his martial arts are all mysteries. When you meet him, you'd better be careful."

"My son has been kind to him in Qingzhou Prefecture." Huai Mingmo mumbled, but he didn't express his doubts.

Mr. Ji nodded slightly, and said with a slight smile, "I read every letter from the family. Xinli mentioned that you were seriously ill in Gyeongju Prefecture, and he cured you." She reached out and pressed Huai Mingmo's cold face With the back of his hand, he said lovingly: "If you think this person can be handed over, then do as you please."

Huai Mingmo's expression was indifferent and calm, but his mood was a little depressed. He got up and saluted as a junior, "Yes, my son knows."

"Let's go back to the Wanting Pavilion earlier, Mr. Xun is probably waiting there by now." Mr. Ji saw that Huai Mingmo wanted to leave, so he didn't do much to keep him, "Recently, I asked Jiang Dian to add more staff. Someone dares to come to the village to assassinate."

The lonely sycamore locks the clear autumn, and the autumn rain does not know when it will fall from the sky. Huai Mingmo walks in the corridor to hide from the rain, feeling gloomy, and he doesn't even notice that someone suddenly appears behind him.

Ji Boru patted Huai Mingmo's back lightly, and saw his depressed profile with his head, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? He looks depressed."

"Sister Boru." Huai Mingmo pulled out an unattractive light smile, trying to whitewash the peace.

Ji Boru immediately pressed his palms on Huai Mingmo's cheeks, seeing him in a daze, he sighed and smiled softly, "If you don't want to laugh, don't laugh, it's so ugly." He let go of his hands, and he took Huai Mingmo to sit in the corridor Tingjian on the rockery, "Tell me, what happened? You have never shown such an expression before, even if you were in a bad mood."

"Nothing..." Before the words came out, Ji Boru's palm covered his mouth.Ji Boru seems to have a carefree personality, but in fact she has a temperament like her biological mother, Mr. Ji, she is tough but soft, and has a very sensitive mind, "You can fool the whole villa, but you can't hide it from me. The ruthless son is in love, right? Incense thief?"

"Sister Boru, don't tease me. The world is chaotic, and the previous dynasty is turbulent. How can I have the energy to think about the private relationship between my son and daughter."

"You, duplicity. You have deceived the world, but you can't persuade yourself." Ji Boru knew Huai Mingmo's temperament of hiding his thoughts, and changed the subject: "I heard that you went to Han Gongchun in Qingzhou Prefecture, How about meeting the beauty Zhu Ling? How do you feel?"

A trace of cunning flashed across Huai Ming's dark eyes, and he said leisurely: "You... are far behind."

Ji Boru was stunned for a while, flicked Huai Mingmo's forehead angrily, and thought brokenly: "You are ungrateful, thanks to my intention to comfort you. You can tell me clearly today, what is wrong with me?"

"People don't show their emotions, what about you? Only Brother Song can stand you."

When talking about Song Yueshan, Ji Boru showed a slightly shy expression of his daughter's family, and said angrily, "It's none of his business."

"Let's get out of the pavilion early, she's already an old lady." Song Yueshan, the chief disciple of Yuxu Sect of Nanzong, has a noble character, and before he reached his thirties, he was already famous in the martial arts world.Huai Mingmo was very satisfied with such a brother-in-law, so he naturally didn't want his sister to waste her time.

"It's half a catty, you're ashamed to say me. Besides...he doesn't come to propose marriage, do you want me to press him all day long, you can't ask me to offer the bride price again." Ji Boru's voice became softer and softer, and he was ashamed and angry afterward. , his cheeks flushed immediately, he was annoyed at Huai Ming's poisonous words, and also felt that Song Yueshan was not bold enough, so he couldn't help cursing a few words in his heart.When she came to her senses, she realized that Huai Mingmo had long since disappeared, so she pursed her lips and rolled her eyes in a fit of anger, and muttered a few words.

The sky was full of clouds, when Huai Mingmo returned to the Wanting Pavilion, the misty autumn rain had quietly stopped, and the drifting rain clouds seemed to dissipate the haze in Huai Mingmo's heart.

"Pavilion master." Seeing Huai Mingmo bowing his knees, Hong Gu seemed expressionless, but Huai Mingmo could hear some resentment in his tone.

"Honggu, get up." Huai Mingmo bent down to help Honggu up, but she turned slightly to hide.

Not only did Hong Gu not get up, but she fell to the ground and said in a low voice: "The subordinates are not doing enough to take care of them, causing the pavilion master to be seriously ill outside, and forget the pavilion master's punishment."

"Hong Gu's serious. I'm just exhausted by horses and horses. I'm not seriously ill." Huaiming Mo Rou said softly, with a seemingly normal expression, and grabbed Hong Gu's arm with his right hand, trying to pull him up.

"The master of the pavilion is kind, but his subordinates did not take care of him properly. The master was seriously ill outside. Although the subordinates are no longer by his side, he cannot escape the blame. There are those entrusted by the imperial concubine and the trust of Mr. Ji. I hope the master will punish him."

After insisting again and again, Huai Mingmo slowly let go of his hand, straightened up and stood with his hands behind his back, his face with a faint smile was really ugly, "Hong Gu insisted, then Ming Mo can only do what you ask." He called out to lie down in a cold voice. Xin Li, who was in the observation hall on the outer wall of the Wanting Pavilion, spoke slowly, like a breeze in autumn, still gentle, but with a little chill, "Honggu usually has a lot of things to do, so I'm afraid she can't take care of both. You can go to the Xuanji Pavilion and pick someone to take the post of steward in the Wanting Pavilion."

What happened sooner or later, Xinli was not surprised at all, he accepted the order obediently, and helped Huai Mingmo into the Wanting Pavilion, leaving Honggu lying on the ground alone outside the Wanting Pavilion.

Zheng Fengnian walked out slowly from behind the door of the museum, crossed the threshold, and said to Hong Gu who was kneeling on the ground: "Hong Gu, get up." He looked at Hong Gu who was full of shock, and sighed: "You don't seem to have noticed What's wrong with me, it seems that the pavilion master didn't wrong you when he treated you like this."

"The master of the pavilion is making a child's temper, you don't know how to persuade him." Hong Gu's voice was weak, and she seemed to be reasonable.

"Persuasion?" Zheng Fengnian stared indifferently at Hong Gu's discontented eyes, and said with a smile: "Hong Gu, do you think your behavior is persuading the Pavilion Master? You are persecuting, forcing the Pavilion Master to obey. Hong Gu , you haven’t figured out why the Pavilion Master punished you. I just want to ask you, who is the Pavilion Master of Xuanji Pavilion now?” Seeing Hong Gu bit her lower lip and stubbornly refused to answer, Zheng Fengnian’s eyes turned cold, “Governor The lord has been the top leader of Xuanji Pavilion for eight years, but you are not the only one, there are many old people in Xuanji Pavilion, although they are respectful on the surface, but in their hearts, they all respect the imperial concubine or empress."

Hong Gu said decisively, "I don't."

"No?" Zheng Fengnian leaned against the door with folded arms, his tone softened slightly, "But you are always using Concubine Ji to exert pressure and force the pavilion master to submit. If you have to be restrained even for such a trivial matter as traveling, then you all will It’s better to invite the imperial concubine back. So the pavilion master punished you not because he is capricious, but because he is the pavilion master of Xuanji Pavilion.”

Zheng Fengnian stretched out his hand but Honggu still didn't understand, he shook his head helplessly and said: "Get up when you figure it out."
