A world of glory

"Sisters who are looking at the garden, when they walked around last night, they saw a few shadows walking around on the lake. After a while, they went to the West Mansion. Today, I heard you say that the West Mansion is not peaceful. I thought that Those few people were dazzled, and now they realize that something is wrong." The old woman said in a low voice again, and when she said this, it aroused the fear of the people around.

"So, last night...could it be...really..." A grey-clothed woman said in fear, her words trembling, even her body trembled involuntarily.

"No wonder there are many disasters and eight diseases in the mansion...It turned out to be a collision..." The woman who watched the night also shuddered, and just said: "Amitabha, Bodhisattva bless you, it seems that I have to go to the temple to burn incense tomorrow. Ask for a talisman to bring, so that you can get rid of bad luck."

"It's bad luck, it's not bad luck, it's just nonsense, it's not doing business. I have time to chew my tongue, be careful, I'll tell the second grandma." Magnolia, the eldest maid in the wife's room, held a basket of flowers in her hand, smiling Walking out of the woods beside the pavilion, although he looked amiable, no matter how he heard these words, he made people feel uncomfortable.

Although these women didn't walk around in front of the master, they were well informed, and they knew that Yulan was a master with a sweet belly and a sword, so they lowered their heads timidly, not daring to speak.

The woman who was watching the night insisted that she was from the West Mansion, but she was not afraid of Yulan, she just bent over, lowered her eyebrows and said with a pleasing smile: "Miss, what you said is wronging us. You don't know, we have all given errands. I just took a rest under the shade of the tree and chatted, how dare I be lazy here without finishing my work."

Yulan raised her eyebrows when she heard the words, and immediately took the handkerchief, covered her mouth with a smile and said: "So that's the case, but I'm just worrying about it, so don't blame Mom."

The woman hurriedly nodded her head and said with a smile: "Where is it worthy of any accusation, the girl just asks a question and explains it twice, so naturally it's nothing."

Yulan pursed her lips and smiled when she heard the words, then looked at the old lady and asked, "It's not that, it's not that I talk too much, it's just that after seeing this situation, if you don't ask, you can't justify it with grandma, and mother is always Old people who are used to the world, think about it for me, is this the reason?"

Those old women hurriedly said with smiles on their faces: "What the girl said is true, no wonder the madam relies on the girl, even us dirty people admire it."

Yulan hated these women for not being able to speak, and her eyes were a little cold, but she was always superficially kind, and she didn't want to lose her identity, so she still smiled and asked: "I don't know what mothers are talking about just now. Son, I feel a little puzzled?"

Seeing Yulan asking with a smile, those women mentioned what they said just now, so it was not easy to hide it, so they just said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that the two mansions have troubles one after another. It's a normal thing. Forget it, there was some unreasonable commotion in the West Mansion last night, and it was very disturbing. I heard rumors that this is not peaceful, could it be that there is something evil going on here?"

After hearing this, Yulan's face changed slightly, she asked again, and then said with a smile: "I don't look like it, I think it's because there are a lot of things in the house recently, and my mother is also a little tired, so I misread and heard wrong Yes, there are. After a few days, things in the mansion have stopped, and all these evils and evils have naturally disappeared."

Although these women didn't think so, they didn't dare to speak out, and they all responded with a smile. They didn't know that it was the woman who was rushing to curry favor with Yulan, and said another sentence, "Young lady, what you said is very true. I passed by yesterday. When I was in Aunt Wang’s yard, I heard someone singing, but now that I think about it, maybe it’s just the cat’s spring.”

Yulan felt guilty when she heard the name of Aunt Wang, she gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "That's not true, even if it's not a cat meowing, the people who watch the house have to talk and move around, right? Where did so many evil people come from?" , but to scare myself."

After saying this, I felt timid in my heart, and said with a smile: "I have been out for a while, and I think it's time for my wife to go back, so I will take a step first."

Magnolia didn't want to pick any more flowers, but walked along the veranda all the way to the main room.Just after entering the courtyard gate, he ran into someone head-on, and almost threw the flower basket in his hand. If so, the flowers scattered all over the ground.

Yulan's shoulders hurt from being bumped, she rubbed her shoulders, looked up, with a smile on her face, she said sarcastically: "Who am I to be so reckless, it turned out to be you, that's right, you are three points more respectable than others, but No wonder you went."

The one who bumped into Yulan was a little servant girl. After hearing about Yulan, her eyes were full of tears and she dared not say a word.Zisu heard the commotion outside, opened the curtain and came out, said with a smile: "What's the matter, the little girl is reckless, and you can't be reckless, Madam is still discussing affairs inside, and I don't look at the time."

Seeing that Zisu came out, the little maid hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with tears in her eyes, she whispered, "Sister Zisu." Seeing how pitiful the little maid was, Zisu smiled slightly and said, "Go I will apologize to your sister Yulan, and don't do this again next time."

Yulan walked a few steps, and only sneered: "I can't afford this gift, you let them go, one day you will run into your wife and brother, and you will be honorable." She also ignored Zisu and that The little servant girl straightened up the curtain and went into the room.

"The old lady ordered that this year is not good, and the rent of the family's Zhuangzi's fields will be reduced or exempted as appropriate. The younger ones have also ordered people to look at it. The drought is terrible. Those farmers have worked hard for half a year, but it is in vain. In the current situation, even if the rent is exempted, those farm households have to sell their sons and daughters to get through this year." A not-so-great-looking daughter-in-law in charge reported to his wife.

The madam picked up the tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, our house doesn't live on Zhuangzi's fields. Seeing that the times are not good, even if the rent is waived, it's not a big deal. It's just that the farmer on this farm is not afraid of Sister Jin's jokes. I feel a little worried. If I donate money, I don't have anyone who has been doing this for a long time, and I'm afraid of being criticized. But if I ignore it, it's the old lady Hou Ye Don't say it, I don't feel too sorry for it."

Seeing what she said, the golden daughter-in-law nodded repeatedly. The lady put the teacup down and said with a smile: "Fortunately, Master Hou said something yesterday and reminded me to go. Those Zhuangzi fields in our family are all The good land near the river is said to be afraid of flooding and the embankment will be washed away on weekdays. I didn’t expect that there would be no waterlogging this year. Not to mention the drought in the fields, even the river was dry. It's a disaster. I thought, the river embankment in this village is being repaired every year. In previous years, there was a shortage of manpower, and there were always some places that could not be taken care of. Why not, taking advantage of the severe drought this year, with both manpower and time, the mansion will provide some money and food to the people. All the embankments and canals in these villages have been repaired, so that the village households will not be afraid of floods next year without talking about work.”

The golden daughter-in-law heard this, and said respectfully: "It's still madam who thinks carefully..." Just as the words were out of her mouth, Yulan came into the room.

Madam raised her eyes to look at Yulan, smiled and said to Jin's daughter-in-law: "Let's do this, I'm a little tired, and if the rest is not important, you can let Su girl make an idea for me." stop."

The golden daughter-in-law hurriedly saluted and left. When the lady saw that the golden daughter-in-law had gone out, she asked Yulan again, "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Yulan hurriedly stepped forward, and said everything that those women were talking about just now, and finally said: "By the way, I also heard from those women that there seemed to be someone in Aunt Wang's yard last night. Singing, I just heard the voice, but didn't see anyone." After saying this, Yulan took a closer look at Madam, and said carefully: "Madam, although Aunt Wang is from that family background, she has never been in the mansion. If she doesn't sing, the mothers-in-law and maids only know that she came from a low family background, but they don't know the truth. There are always people watching the house at night in this mansion. , Even the mansion over there is not peaceful, if the servants are dazzled or something, it is unlikely that the servants of the two mansions will be dazzled, so the servants thought, is it really like what those women said, there is What's going on here?"

Madam's face turned pale when she heard Yulan's words, her heart was confused, she lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then said: "It makes sense to hear what you said, the manor is not going well these days, Not for anything else, but for the sick child of the old lady and Brother Xian, you should ask an expert to figure it out, see if there is any taboo committed in the mansion?" Halfway through the words, Madam paused again, and finally got some He said embarrassingly: "It's just that although there are many temples and temples in Beijing, it's really hard to find such an expert. If it's an ordinary Taoist monk, the lectures are not bad, but there is no one who understands the Dharma."

"The sickness of the old lady and Brother Xian." Yulan frowned when she heard what Madam said, thinking about Madam's words, she suddenly remembered a person and said to Madam: "Madam thinks she forgot, If you say someone with high power, has there ever been one in our house?"

"One came here, when did I come, why can't I remember much?" Madam asked hurriedly, her expression was also a little bit blank, and her brows were slightly frowned.

Yulan smiled sweetly and said: "Last year brother Xian was seriously ill and almost lost his life, fortunately the eldest son invited a fairy elder to come, brother Xian was safe and sound, why did the madam forget about this. "

"I remembered this, but that Daoist Xuan Qing, I heard that there was something wrong. After Brother Xian got well, the old lady also asked people to prepare a big gift to pay him, but the Taoist priest ordered people to retire. Come back, it can be seen that you are a real person." Madam suddenly said, she just frowned slightly, and then frowned again, "This Taoist Xuanqing has never had much contact with our house, so I don't know if we can invite him?"
