The ancient sages always told future generations that the so-called destiny is not worth the words of hard work and perseverance.
But is this the reality?
Just like the second son, he came from the countryside and worked as a waiter in a teahouse. He was yelled at by others, and he was half shorter when he saw people. He would not fight back when he was hit or scolded. His biggest wish was to earn enough money in the capital to return to his hometown and marry a wife.
money, and then provide for his parents in retirement safely.
This is his destiny, the destiny he has been striving for.
But inadvertently, his fate changed against the will of heaven!
Just like Huzi, a poor boy who has never had enough to eat for a few days since childhood, came to the capital with his eyes closed to find his uncle, but he didn't expect that his uncle was not only powerful, but also had only one nephew, and that his uncle was also an unparalleled eunuch...
..
He can inherit everything from his uncle without any obstacles... It's not okay if he doesn't inherit! Not inheriting is unfilial!
Just like a certain street writer named Rotten Persimmon... Don't look at the human-like and dog-like appearance now, but in the past, he was really human-like and dog-like... woof woof woof!
If Huzi and Erzi heard a famous psychiatric song, they would definitely get together and sing loudly.
"Oh, I'm talking about fate...life...ah ha!"
But in fact, a person's destiny is not just his destiny. If his destiny changes, it will directly affect the people around him.
~~
Huai'an, Shuiyue Temple.
Master Jinghui looked at the girls in the room who had just shaved their heads and had frightened faces, and a smile appeared on her lips.
"Look, when we first came here, they were just like mud monkeys! Now when we pass by and give orders, tsk tsk, it hurts to look at each one of them!"
Master Jinghui is in her early forties, which is the age of a mature woman. Her features are full of charm. She is dressed in a monk's robe, but her graceful figure cannot be concealed.
Behind her was another thirty-year-old sister-in-law, who was her junior sister Jingxian.
"As the saying goes, a girl should be pretty and filial! We girls, if we don't wear makeup, we won't be enchanting. Our pretty eyes are like deers, which is exactly what the scholar said. I feel pity for you!"
"Yes!" Jinghui covered her mouth and chuckled, "We, the gentlemen in Huai'an City, are used to seeing so-called socialites and singers, and are used to seeing so-called socialites and singers, so we have never seen anything like that! But, the older you are, the less likely you are to see such purity.
The woman..."
As she said that, she frowned slightly, pointed to a group of pitiful girls in the room and said, "Tomorrow is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. We are hosting pilgrims for the first time in the new year, so we can't be careless! You will have to do it in person in a while.
Teach them!"
"Senior sister, don't worry, I can take care of myself!" Jingxian chuckled, "Hey! The king is coming tomorrow, who do you want to accompany him?"
The Wang Yuanwai she mentioned was the largest salt merchant in Huai'an. He spent money like water and was most obsessed with the so-called method of gathering yin and replenishing yang to maintain health.
There are many rich people in Huai'an City, and where there are many rich people, you can have fun!
On the surface, Shuiyue Temple is a pure place for monks, but men like to do two things the most.
1. Encourage promiscuous women to be good.
Second, drag women from good families into the water.
But the sisters-in-law in the nunnery are better than those from good families... At the same time, they are slowly developed, making them both the sons of good families and sisters, which has a unique flavor!
Jinghui pondered for a moment, "Just Huniu!"
Then, she slowly entered the room and her eyes fell on the corner.
A girl wearing a monk's hat curled up like an injured kitten.
She is not the prettiest, but she has a softness about her that makes all men obsessed with her.
Small nose, small eyes, small hands and feet... thin and timid... Occasionally, I quietly look up at people, and my clear pupils are full of helplessness and pity!
"If she were a little fatter, she would be an extremely beautiful woman!" Jinghui laughed softly.
Jingxian also laughed in a low voice, "It depends on whether Mr. Wang is willing to spend more money on us Hu Niu to replenish her health!"
"Huh! He, his family has a lot of money..." Jinghui sneered, "He is not afraid of spending money, he is afraid of death!"
"He's not afraid of death! He's afraid of not having fun..." Jingxian covered her mouth and chuckled.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from behind.
A somewhat stocky sister-in-law hurriedly came in from outside and shouted, "The officers and soldiers are coming!"
"Officers and soldiers?" Jinghui was surprised and asked in confusion, "Where are the officers and soldiers? We never interact with people from the government, what are they doing here?"
It's not that they don't interact with people in the government, but they interact privately, and no one knows. After all, officials are all men, and men all have some hobbies. Besides, they also need the protection of the gentlemen in the yamen.
, keep it!
To be precise, they never interact with officials who hold knives, because those who hold knives are the most disloyal.
~
boom!
There was a loud bang outside the door, and then dozens of men with ferocious faces rushed in with gleaming knives amid the horrified shouts of the sisters-in-law.
"Surround me up, don't let anyone get away!"
"Sister!" Jingxian panicked and trembled.
"Don't panic!" Jinghui forced herself to calm down.
She knew that people who came were not kind and kind, but she believed that since these officers and soldiers with swords came uninvited, they just heard about it and wanted to take advantage of it.
"Quickly go to the prefect's Yamen and the Inspection Department's Yamen through the back door to report the news!"
Jinghui ordered, then suppressed the fear in her heart, cheered up and went out.
~~
"Surround up!" He Ping'an and He Laoliu rode on a maroon war horse, covered in weather, with an embroidered spring knife on the saddle, and shouted, "Push everyone to the front!"
The officers and soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, began to arrest people in the nunnery without restraint.
Women were everywhere, screaming heart-breakingly.
"Amitabha!"
Suddenly, there was a Buddha's name.
Jinghui held the rosary beads, came out of the door, and stood in front of the door, "This military master, I don't know how we have offended you in the pure land of monks! Please be patient!"
"You are the madam here..." He Laoliu's eyelids twitched.
"You..." Jinghui paused, "Master Jun, although Shuiyue Temple is small, the imperial court issued an ultimatum..."
"Shut up!" He Laoliu shouted, "Now that I'm here, I know what kind of dirty place you are. Don't follow me for being such a talker!"
Jinghui wanted to say more, but the next second she felt like she was struck by lightning.
Because she clearly saw that the Fu Cheng of Huai'an Mansion was standing among the officers and soldiers like a follower, not even daring to raise his head.
This shows that what she has always relied on is nothing in front of these officers and soldiers.
"Sir Chihu! Catch one from behind..."
At this moment, an officer and soldier grabbed a shivering sister-in-law and pinned her to the ground.
Jinghui's heart skipped a beat, that was the girl she sent to report the news.
But she is also someone who has seen big scenes.
Suddenly, his face changed, "Hey, this military master, I wonder where your great name is! You are such a hero, why do you need to be as familiar as us women! Is there any misunderstanding here!"
"If we have offended you, we should make amends to you! You can tell us how to make amends..."
"Hahaha!" He Laoliu laughed mockingly, then looked behind him, "Mr. Liu! Come over and see, who is your young lady?"
Jinghui was puzzled again, and then her eyes widened suddenly.
A skinny old man appeared tremblingly from among the officers and soldiers!
Isn't this person the same person who sold his granddaughter to her in the first place?
"Huniu! Grandpa is here!" Old Man Liu looked at the young ladies who were picked out by the guards and shouted, "Grandpa is here!"
