Wang Xifeng glanced at Shi Zhongkui and saw that he kept smiling.
Lin Daiyu, who was relieved at this moment, joked, "Oh, now that I have my brother as my backer, my words are even more irritating. I just don't know if you, my younger sister, would dare to cause trouble for your brother."
Daiyu suddenly stopped talking.
It wasn't that she didn't have anything to say back, but that she was worried that Shi Zhongkui would think he was sharp-tongued.
Shi Zhongkui smiled hurriedly and said, "Okay, okay, second sister-in-law should let Sister Lin go for once.
Besides, it's almost noon, so I'd better take a look at the house first.
If you feel it's not good, go check out other houses to avoid others picking up the good places."
When everyone saw Shi Zhongkui opening his mouth, how could they refute him?
Shi Zhongkui waved to an old eunuch, four middle-aged nuns and twelve little palace maids dressed as maids who were standing next to them.
A group of people immediately walked forward and knelt on the ground to pay their respects.
The old eunuch at the head laughed and said, "Slave Ji Guangxiang, used to be a steward in the Royal Horse Prison, and was chosen by Eunuch Xia Shouzhong and Duke Liu Yuan to serve the county master."
Having never come into contact with an eunuch before, the palace attendant Daiyu immediately felt at a loss and quickly looked at Shi Zhongkui.
Shi Zhongkui smiled and said, "Don't worry, sister, Eunuch Ji is an expert in Taoist scriptures.
If his brother hadn't promised him to communicate with each other on spiritual matters, not even the prince or princess would be able to invite him out of the palace.
From now on, if you don't understand anything about various Taoist scriptures, in addition to asking me, you may also ask Eunuch Ji for advice."
"Mr. Liu Yuan has praised our family," Ji Guangxiang said with a smile, "I have so little ability, but in front of Mr. Liu Yuan, I am not even worthy of carrying shoes.
Moreover, the county master has great blessings. When he first learns Taoism, he can get a first glimpse of the ways and serve the county master. This is the blessing that the slave has cultivated for several generations."
Lin Daiyu was even more curious now.
Daiyu covered half of her face with her handkerchief and asked in a low voice, "Brother, besides being a Taoist master, this old man must have other abilities, right?"
Shi Zhongkui laughed and praised him as "smart".
Then he looked at Ji Guangxiang and said, "Eunuch Ji, since I am a curious girl, why don't you show me your skills first?"
Since Shi Zhongkui said so, Ji Guangxiang is of course willing to show off his skills in front of his new master. If he can get the respect of Daiyu and Shi Zhongkui in the future, he might be rewarded with a Taoist method.
If you can become a true cultivator, it will not be in vain for your decades of dedication to cultivating Taoism.
He bowed his hands to Lin Daiyu and Shi Zhongkui and apologized again.
Then he stood up and looked around, his eyes fixed on a jujube tree.
His hands were hidden in the wide sleeves, and when they were revealed again, a larger slingshot appeared in them.
He fired three shots at the jujube tree in the yard, breaking three branches.
Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu were stunned when they saw it.
To ordinary people, the slingshot was just a child's toy, but in the hands of this old eunuch, it turned into a weapon capable of killing people.
And being able to play with a slingshot so well, does that mean that this old eunuch might be good at bows and arrows?
Also, since this old eunuch is a member of the Imperial Horse Commission, he will definitely know how to use swords and other martial arts.
Everyone immediately understood that Shi Zhongkui was a close guard for Daiyu.
Not to mention three or five scoundrels, even a dozen elite soldiers, if they don't pay attention, he will shoot several of them as soon as they meet.
Daiyu also knew what Shi Zhongkui meant, so she quickly knelt down and saluted, "Thank you, little sister, brother."
"It's a small thing," Shi Zhongkui laughed, "Sister, from now on, I will practice to the third level of Qi training, and I will teach you the palm thunder, the diamond talisman, and the divine walking talisman for my brother.
At that time, when you encounter an opponent, use palm thunder from a distance and protect yourself with a diamond talisman at close range. If you can't win, then use the magic talisman to dodge and walk away, come back to me, and fight back for you, brother."
Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and suddenly felt that it was really good to have a foster brother.
Wang Xifeng and others expressed their joy and felt envious in their hearts.
Xichun, who had been indifferent since childhood, even took Lin Daiyu's hand and begged her to teach him after she learned it.
Daiyu looked at Shi Zhongkui hurriedly. If he didn't agree, she would definitely not dare to spread this secret method indiscriminately.
Shi Zhongkui waved his hand, "You can decide this kind of thing yourself, but the law should not be passed lightly."
Daiyu hurriedly saluted and agreed.
Xiangchun, Tanchun, and Shi Xiangyun looked overjoyed.
Since Daiyu was allowed to make her own decision, it meant that the second brother-in-law did not refuse.
Jia Baoyu, on the other hand, felt a little unhappy for some unknown reason.
But Shi Zhongkui knew at a glance that this boy had been the center of attention among the sisters.
Now that no one is around, of course I feel disappointed.
The more disappointed Jia Baoyu felt, the more he felt that he had to practice hard after returning.
Lest even Xichun and others surpass him in the future, he would be really embarrassed to appear in front of his sisters again.
-----
The four nuns and twelve maids have nothing to introduce, and people who have been in the palace are the best at observing words and expressions.
Seeing that Shi Zhongkui really loved Daiyu, his adopted sister, how dare he not serve Daiyu wholeheartedly.
After Ji Guangxiang personally took everyone to visit a group of houses, Daiyu felt satisfied.
Although it is much smaller than the Ning and Rong mansions, not even a quarter.
But the house is not only exquisite, but also has Jiangnan-style small bridges, flowing water, and rockery pavilions. One look at it reminds Daiyu of her childhood days in the south.
Although it is inevitable to think of her parents and her younger brother who died young, the Jiangnan water town in her memory evokes many happy memories for Daiyu.
After only hesitating for a moment, he decided to choose this place as his residence.
With Daiyu, the rightful owner, nodding, the matter is settled.
After that, of course, I will go back to Jia's house first. While preparing the most, I will also choose an auspicious day to move.
Ji Guangxiang and the four nuns, of course, followed Daiyu back to Jia's house.
Not to mention that Jia Baoyu had no chance to approach Daiyu at any time, even Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang and others felt that they did not want it, but they had to follow the words of the four nuns and respect each other.
This made Daiyu feel reluctant to leave, and she had to think about moving there as soon as possible.
After settling the affairs of Daiyu's house, Shi Zhongkui just waited to pick her up when she moved.
But early the next morning, Shi Zhongkui had breakfast with Baochai, Yingchun and four young wives serving him.
Then he went to the temporarily prepared classroom to teach Jia Lan, Shi Taiji, Yu Huaiji, Xue Biao, Jia Yun and Jia Quan when they were studying.
I saw the housekeeper Yu Shun running in with a worried look on his face, and whispered urgently in his ear, "Master, the people from the Xiuyi Guard and the Longjing Guard came to the door together. They said they have something to ask the master."
Shi Zhongkui was stunned, and secretly thought that the Dragon Guard's visit must be up to no good.
He stood up, asked Xue Biao and Jia Yun to take charge of taking the four little ones to review, walked out of the classroom and called the God of Days over.
"Go find out what happened."
"Yes, sir."
Shi Zhongkui was not in a hurry and simply stood under the eaves and waited.
Even though it seemed that the Xiuyi Guards and the Dragon Guards came to the door together, Shi Zhongkui knew that the Xiuyi Guards were not only not looking for trouble with their confidants, but instead came to keep an eye on the Long Guards to prevent them from framed him.
Otherwise, instead of coming to ask questions and asking Yu Shun to go to the second door to report, he would have barged in directly.
And since the two groups restrict each other, there is no need to worry.
At least we have to wait for Nikki God to report back and know what happened, even if Nikki God and the City God can't find out, it can be regarded as a kind of intelligence.
Not long after, when Riyu Shen flew back, he was accompanied by the chief secretary of the Yins who was dressed as a civil servant.
"Sir, this is Master Zeng, Zeng Zhongfu."
Zeng Zhongfu hurriedly followed and saluted, "Exalted Immortal, the little god just checked the accounts of souls detained by the Underworld Department yesterday and the day before yesterday, and found that Liu Guixun, who was scolded by the adults the day before yesterday, eunuch Liu, was detained by the seducer before his life was over.
Yinsi.
I originally planned to report it to the underworld judge, but if you want to ask questions, I will first imprison the soul of Eunuch Liu in the Underworld."
As soon as Shi Zhongkui heard the words "I planned to report it", he knew that Chief Zeng was asking for credit.
But this is not the time to be stingy, and this information is indeed abundant and very useful.
Not only did he know the general reason, but he was also able to interrogate Eunuch Liu's soul.
He took out a bunch of merit from the space farm and threw it towards him under the somewhat unbearable gaze of Master Zeng.
Zeng Zhongfu hurriedly swallowed the merits in one gulp, and with a brighter smile, he cupped his hands and saluted, "Thank you, the Immortal. If the Immortal wants to interrogate Eunuch Liu personally, the little god will go back and report it to the City God."
Of course Shi Zhongkui would not miss this opportunity, "Help me ask who killed him and why."
"Yes, the little god takes the order." Zeng Zhongfu smiled and took three steps back, then disappeared.
Shi Zhongkui thought for a moment and said to Riyou Shendao, "Go and look for Eunuch Liu's house."
