The sky is bright and clear, and the Xuanmiao temple at the foot of Xuanmiao Mountain outside the city is filled with incense and the sound of chanting is endless.

The Taoist temple has obviously been renovated, and there are many cars and horses parked in front of the door.

After the morning class, the temple leader walked out of the hall, followed by more than a dozen faithful men and women, who bid farewell respectfully.

"Good people, please come this way."

Two Taoist boys had already said this, holding out their hands to guide the way.

"The refreshments are ready."

Everyone chatted and laughed and followed the child to the back hall, while many men and women waiting on the other side came forward and saluted the master one after another.

"Today's tea is ready, everyone come with me in the order arranged." Two children came up from the back and said.

The men and women were overjoyed and got up one after another to follow.

Guanzhu Sun stood in the corridor and looked at the Taoist temple. The floor tiles were newly laid, the trees were surrounded by bricks and stones, and all the dead leaves had fallen. There were three children sweeping the corners with brooms.

Today's Xuanmiao Temple is full of incense and crowded with people, and is no longer as deserted as it used to be.

Guanzhu Sun shook the fly whisk and walked out. When he walked out of the gate, there were already many people on the mountain road. Because of the reputation of Xuanmiao Temple, there were more people visiting Xuanmiao Mountain, and there were also many people selling baskets outside Xuanmiao Temple.

Got up.

This is a nearby villager who makes cakes, hot tea, soup, and dried fruits for sale. After all, Xuanmiao Temple’s dim sum and tea are not available to anyone who wants to eat them at any time. People who are tired from traveling will sell some to relieve their fatigue. This gives the people in the nearby villages

More opportunities for livelihood.

"Good morning, fairy lady."

"Hello, fairies."

When they saw the temple owner coming out, people bowed respectfully and said hello.

This kind of scene is casual and comfortable. It seems to have existed for a long time. Even the temple owner himself cannot remember that about a year ago, their fairy girl from Xuanmiao Temple rarely even stepped out of the door to avoid being harmed by the small Xuanmiao Temple on the mountain.

And being scolded and stoned.

The owner of the temple returned the courtesy with a smile, and followed by two children towards the mountain. From a distance, he saw the small temple hidden among the rocks and trees.

"Guanzhu."

The two fairy girls opened the door and greeted him with greetings.

The visitor looked up at the plaque and stepped in.

"It's been a storm these days. Has my house been burned down?" she asked.

"Burned." Fairy Girl smiled, "The bedding is smoked every day."

The viewer nodded, and as soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard shouting from outside the door.

"Master, Master!"

The five people looked back and saw a Taoist boy running in panting, carrying a straw basket on his back.

"Didn't you go into the city? Are you back so soon?" a fairy asked in surprise.

The Taoist boy put his hands on his knees and was out of breath.

"Master, Master, I'm back..." she said.

The five people frowned and looked at her.

"No, no, Master, Mrs. Cheng is back." The little boy calmed down and stood upright, saying happily.

As soon as these words came out, except for the two new children, the owner of the temple and the two fairy girls all looked overjoyed.

"Really?" they asked in unison.

"It's true, I heard it when I was buying rice. I even went to the door of Cheng's house to inquire. He said he came back yesterday. Now everyone is talking about it." The child said happily, "I didn't even care about the rice.

Buy it and run back quickly."

What is everyone talking about?

The viewer looked a little surprised.

"What are you talking about?" she asked.

"Tell me, you're not a fool..." said the little boy.

The viewer laughed.

"Does this need to be said?" she said, flicking the fly whisk and turning around.

It wasn't originally.

The sky was bright and the tranquility in Mrs. Cheng's yard was broken.

"Mother, mother."

Cheng Liuniang's voice sounded outside the door.

On the couch in the back room, Mrs. Cheng put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes.

"Mother, that fool came to you yesterday...Hey, mother, why do you look so ugly? Are you sick? Why aren't you getting up yet?"

Cheng Liuniang said, moving a few steps forward and reaching out to touch her mother's forehead.

"No." Mrs. Cheng said, pushing her hand away, "I'm tired."

The child just came in yesterday, and she felt very tired.

Mrs. Cheng Er muttered in private that Mrs. Cheng was making trouble to leave home again. She almost didn't sleep all night last night.

"Mother, what did that fool say to you yesterday?" Cheng Liu Niang asked.

"You're not looking for me, you're looking for your father." Mrs. Cheng said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant woman came in and said that Mrs. Cheng Er and Cheng Jiaoniang were here.

"Tell them, the eldest master hasn't come back yet," Mrs. Cheng said.

Not long after, Mrs. Cheng came in with a smile.

Cheng Liuniang sat up straight and her eyes fell on Cheng Jiaoniang behind Mrs. Cheng Er.

I don’t know what good food I ate. He is obviously only a year or two older than me, but why is he taller than Mrs. Cheng?

"Sister-in-law, I'm not here for the sake of the master." Second Mrs. Cheng sat down and said, "I want to take my daughter to see the old lady."

Mrs. Cheng sneered in her heart and looked at Mrs. Cheng.

The old lady is my mother-in-law, and she is also your mother-in-law. If you want to see her, you can see her. Do I still care about you?

But she only said this in her heart. She knew that once she said this, Mrs. Cheng would immediately take this fool to see Mrs. Cheng.

Doesn’t Mrs. Cheng Er know that Mrs. Cheng has reached the point where she can’t even listen to this fool? She will be furious at that time, and when Mrs. Cheng becomes furious, Mrs. Cheng will definitely push her away in aggrieved and fearful way.

to yourself.

My sister-in-law asked me to come to see her...

She must have said it aggrievedly, and then it was conceivable that what was waiting for her was Mrs. Cheng's angry curse.

But if she says she won't let you go, she can tell this fool that it's not me who doesn't let you go, it's the aunt who doesn't let you go, and she doesn't like you.

In short, no matter what she says, in the end the good person is her and the bad person is herself.

Mrs. Cheng looked at Mrs. Cheng with a complicated expression.

It's really strange, why did she think this sister-in-law was gentle and amiable before?

"No need to go." Mrs. Cheng said calmly.

Sure enough, Mrs. Cheng Er turned her head to look at Cheng Jiaoniang.

"Let's wait until it's more convenient." She whispered with some comfort.

Cheng Jiaoniang's expression was calm and noncommittal.

Mrs. Cheng sneered in her heart, Do I still care about the happiness and anger of a younger generation like you? If you are really not stupid, you should know who you should please now.

Who is the family you want to marry? Who can really help you live a better life in your husband's family? Stepmother and aunt are both mothers, but their affection is different.

"My dear, don't be sad. The old lady doesn't like to see people. I'll wait until your aunt asks about it."

After leaving Mrs. Cheng's place, Mrs. Cheng did not forget to continue talking.

Cheng Jiaoniang nodded.

"Go ahead, madam." She said, looking around, "I want to take a walk by myself."

Mrs. Cheng Er was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Although the house is not big, you can still look around. I'll accompany you." She smiled.

Cheng Jiaoniang turned to look at her.

"I want to take a walk by myself," she said.

This kind of attitude and words are really rude, but the strange thing is that Mrs. Cheng Er didn't feel humiliated for a moment. It seemed that this woman's attitude was quite natural and she didn't feel violated at all.
