The scar-faced follower looked up, but he didn't see clearly what the other person looked like.

The steward wanted to offer longevity lamps to the Lord and several young masters on the occasion of the Buddha's birthday. The fifth young master waited impatiently, and the steward kept a close eye on him and refused to allow him to leave. The two wandered around the Zhike Garden for a long time before finding a secluded place.

I know this is what happened.

Although martial arts practitioners have good ears, their hearing at such a long distance is still unclear, and the master and servant's words are unclear...but it is not difficult to imagine the connection between them.

"The noble daughter of Jingling is very capable of scheming people! But she can finally have some fun..."

"Have fun?" Xiao Yuandu snorted, his meaning unclear, "Don't underestimate this woman."

That's what he said, but his expression was completely different.

Scarface looked at him with a cold look on his face, and was a little surprised: "Young Master, do you know this girl?"

"I don't know." His name is like thunder, but his face has never been seen before.

But the deliberately lowered voice just now sounded a bit...

"How did the young master know that she should not be underestimated?" He also knew her last name.

Then I thought about it, since I entered Beijing, I have been in charge of various high-level affairs. It is not a secret that the eighth son of the Xu family got married last month and married a daughter of the Jiang family.

It's just that the Fifth Young Master was facing a person he had never met before, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his words... Scarface's heart tightened.

The idle man in Fanjia Village doesn't know whether he is dead or not. Even if he is not dead, he will be useless even if he thinks about it.

An idle man will always be an idle man, and his life is worthless.

This is the daughter-in-law of the Xu family. I don’t know where she offended this overlord. I would rather kill her if she does!

"Young master, you must calm down. The Xu family is in great power now, and this person must not be killed..."

His thoughts were interrupted, and Xiao Yuandu didn't think about it further. He was a person not worthy of his consideration.

He tilted his head and spat: "Killing her would be a justice for heaven, but dying like this would be too cheap for her. Let's keep it." He didn't say what he would do with it.

"Exactly, with such evil intentions, why would you dirty your hands? Maybe she will be devoured instead of harming others, and she will be punished later... Young Master, do we want to go and take a look?"

They searched all over Guanwu County, but still couldn't find anyone. Xiao Yuandu was really upset, and he didn't have the leisure to go see other people's dirty things.

"Then after the steward is finished, let's go for a walk in the city..." Scarface's entourage racked his brains to divert his attention, and after all said and done, they still went around Jingling.

Speaking of this Jingling City, it is really eye-opening!

The fish and rice are abundant, the silk is fine, there are thoroughfares both inside and outside, and there are many large and small markets. In the market, there are all kinds of fruits and vegetables, and there are all kinds of treasures and goods from all over the world. The high-ranking officials are extravagant, and even the common people are well-dressed.

.

No wonder people say that the south of the Yangtze River is a prosperous place of smoke and willows, while their Jiyuan is almost a barren land compared with it.

It was Dazai's birthday three days ago, and what he saw and heard was even more shocking.

After the banquet started, rare treasures from all over the place were brought to us like water. What we had to eat was nothing but rice. It was simply a waste of money in every possible way!

The hundred or so guests were all served by a beautiful concubine. They didn’t have to use their hands to eat, and the beauty personally fed them into their mouths. The Nao Shizi glazed tableware they used was said to be more expensive than gold!

He was probably too shocked and a little rude. The servants in Dazaifu, while despising him for being ignorant, told him some "common knowledge" as a reward.

For example, the Fengchang family used a pure silver manger to feed their horses, the servant used maltose water to clean the pots, and the man from Zongzheng Temple used candles as firewood.

The Yang family, one of the four great clans, spends more than 10,000 yuan on a meal. Even though they are so rich, they still look sad every day and have nothing to eat!

Even more exaggeratedly, Xu Xun, the great minister of the dynasty, loved to eat suckling pigs. Even the emperor, who was accustomed to eating delicacies, praised the suckling pigs made by the chef in the palace. They were a thousand times better than those made by the chefs in the palace.

When the emperor asked why it was so fresh and tender, Xu Xun stroked his beard and smiled and replied: "It's because of human milk feeding."

Scarface couldn't help but click his tongue: "I heard that the Supreme Lord can save a county in Guanzhong Plain by saving money for a banquet."

No matter how hard he imagined, he couldn't imagine what the emperor ate every day. Was it dragon liver, phoenix courage?

Xiao Yuandu laughed out loud: "You know nothing!"

After staying in the place where the smoke and rain corroded the bones for a long time, the cartilage in the legs and bones became soft, and they could not sit firmly on the strange road. The Jin Ou was half empty, and it was hard for them to eat it.

"Young Master is right, Young Master is absolutely right!" Scarface agreed with a stern look on his face, "Look at those noble men from aristocratic families, as well as a group of celebrities who claim to be romantic, who incense and paint their faces, who are afraid of cold and heat.

He had brittle skin and tender bones. He was out of breath after walking a few steps. He had to ride in a carriage when going out, and he needed help when entering. There were not many people riding horses in the suburbs! If there was really trouble, he was waiting to be caught -

—”

He glanced left and right, swallowed the disrespectful words behind him, chuckled, and changed the topic: "The most important thing is that the food here is not to your liking! The food in Jiyuan is delicious."

This is true. Southerners like to eat honey to enhance the taste, but Xiao Yuandu couldn't get used to it no matter what.

"Fortunately, this trip is about to end. The steward said that we will set off back soon... Young Master, are you looking for that person or not?"

Xiao Yuandu leaned against the corridor pillar and raised his eyelids to look at him: "What do you think?"

Scarface's personal attendant shivered: "Look, look, look! Let's look for it now!"

But in my heart I couldn't stop complaining - the border ministers lived in the capital, and their days were fixed. If they didn't come back after the time, they would be punished at least, and at worst they would be labeled as treason... They didn't have much time left, but the fifth son didn't take it.

I will never give up if I find someone, alas!

-

Amidst the sound of bells and drums, the newly sculpted golden statue of the reborn Buddha has been welcomed from the Sutra Building to the square in front of Yongning Temple. After the Buddha Bathing Ceremony is held here, it can be entered into the Main Hall.

The presiding Dharma monk led a group of monks to go out to greet the Buddha statue. After three prostrations, he placed the Buddha statue in a golden basin of incense soup, lit incense, displayed his utensils, and then prostrated nine times. While the presiding Dharma monk sang praises, he began to sprinkle water on the Buddha statue.

Clean water "washes away the dust".

The people circled around, sang "Stanzas in Praise of the Buddha" to consecrate and circumambulate the Buddha, and even sprinkled water on each other to play.

This kind of excitement is obviously not suitable for women to join in. After visiting various Buddhist temples and drinking Buddha bathing water made from licorice tea, everyone went to the main hall to listen to sutras.

I guess the time has come——

Jiang Fosang was thinking in his mind, and just as he was about to step into the hall, a Zhike novice monk came running towards him.

"Mrs. Jiang! Go and have a look, Xu Langjun, he..."

His tone was anxious, but he couldn't say anything because of something. He hesitated for a long time, and was so worried that he was sweating profusely.

While Jiang Fusang's anxious look showed, his voice was not suppressed: "But the husband is ill?"

Sure enough, just as he finished speaking, Zang, who entered the palace first, had already changed his expression and turned back in a hurry.

"But something happened to Yan'er? I just saw that he didn't look good..." As he said that, he suddenly turned to Jiang Fusang, and regardless of the presence of the female relatives from all the houses, he reprimanded him, "I want you to serve me well, but you haven't even noticed that my husband is not feeling well."

pay attention to?!"

Mrs. Zang was eager to love her son, but Lou Huanjun was sober. She pretended to support her and reminded her: "Jun aunt, the queen is still waiting in the palace. You go first and listen to the sutra with the queen. My daughter-in-law will ask the medical officer to go to the eighth uncle."

Take a look."

"What kind of scriptures do you still listen to? It's more important to go see Yan'er! You come with me too!"

The queen's face had to be given, but it had to be given time. Anyway, the Xu family and the Lian family had been at odds for a long time, and they didn't care about this incident of enmity.

Lou had no choice but to follow Zang to Zhike Garden. The other female members of the Xu family had no reason to stay.

Jiang Fusang and Acorus looked at each other, and Acorus nodded, and the two of them followed suit.

In the Buddhist hall, there are several rows of bright brocade futons arranged neatly.

Empress Lian, who was dressed in full dress, sat at the head of the table. When she heard the palace servants coming to report, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Since something important has happened to the Xu family, I should go take a look."

Naturally, all the female relatives followed the Queen. In this way, the group of people chased her to Baizhu Courtyard.

"Where are Liu An and the others? Why don't they come closer to wait on you?" Seeing the empty courtyard, Mrs. Zang couldn't help but look angry.

Little did he know that those attendants and soldiers had been dismissed by Xu Yan long ago.

The novice who was leading the way pointed to one of the wing rooms with an embarrassed look on his face: "It's right inside..."

Zang was about to go in, but Lou heard something wrong, and quickly grabbed her with her hands: "Jun Gu, there are too many people, and Uncle Yu's condition is actually not good, not as good as..."

Before she finished speaking, the impatient Si Di Pan reached out her hand from the side and pushed open the door.

There was a direct connection to a room, and there was no screen to block it. The scene on the bed came into view, and everyone was dumbfounded. Isn't Xu Balang seriously ill? How can he still be with someone... Wait! Why is he still a man?!

"ah!!!"

Following this excessively shocked scream, everyone present reacted. For a moment, they exclaimed and covered their faces.

"Oh my god, in broad daylight, it's so--"

Zang's mouth was also wide open, but he couldn't utter a word, and the crutch in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

"Jun Gu!" Mrs. Lou supported Mrs. Zang, and ordered people to go in and dress Xu Yan to change clothes, while ordering people to close the door.

However, all the female relatives who came to join in the fun have arrived, and they have seen everything that should be seen and what should not be seen. How can this scandal be covered up?

The incident quickly spread throughout Yongning Temple, and even the ongoing Buddha bathing activity in the square had to be suspended due to the excitement of the people.
Chapter completed!
