How to work

It was about to rain, and the weather was a bit stuffy, even Dabai didn't want to stay in the house, biting the hem of Lu Li's clothes, he refused to be separated from his master.No way, Lu Li had to take it with him.

Generally, worshiping Bodhisattvas and Buddhas starts early in the morning, but Shen Wansha had a sudden idea. Although it's not too late for them to wake up, they definitely won't be able to catch up with the waves when they set off now, so there is no need to worry.

Before going to the Buddha, you must burn incense and add sesame oil, but most sincere people will prepare some things by themselves, such as fresh fruit cakes and various offerings, and handy women will also make blessing cakes by themselves.Shen Wansha said that it was a bit late today, and he was afraid that the Bodhisattva would blame him, so he had to buy the best offerings!

On the busiest East Street in Xijing, Shen Wansha saw a pastry shop from a distance, the golden decoration was warm and festive, and he immediately dragged Lu Li to go happily.

The lady proprietress in the store is very good at doing business, and seeing Shen Wansha's posture, she felt that there was a big business to do, and immediately greeted her warmly. When she heard that the place where she wanted to buy offerings in front of the Bodhisattva was still the Baita Temple, she immediately smiled, "Young master is here today." Yes! Some of you who sound like foreigners with an accent, probably don’t know that this Baita Temple used to be a royal temple in the former dynasty, where gods and Buddhas were devoutly enshrined, and they have always enjoyed royal offerings. Buy exquisite and high-quality offerings outside. In this Xijing City, except for the chef chef in the White Pagoda Temple, it belongs to Mrs. Cui's family's offering cakes!"

"Hey, it's a loss that the lady's surname is not Wang!" Shen Wansha joked with the proprietress with a smile.

"Our stuff is good, everyone inside and outside the city knows that my face has long been exaggerated! Besides, if I don't boast, don't you guys know?" The lady Cui was not angry, and she smiled heartily. Kindly, "It's a coincidence that you guys are here today. My new batch of eight-treasure tribute rice cakes will be ready soon. I see that you are noble people, and they must like fresh and delicate ones. Why don't you just bring a few catties with you? It’s great for offering or eating for yourself. If you buy it and find it’s not tasty, or if you go to Baita Temple and get laughed at, I won’t even ask you to refund the money, you just smash my signboard!”

This woman has a slightly plump figure, and her appearance is not outstanding, but she has a very friendly smile on her face, and her words and actions are refreshing, which makes people feel very comfortable.As soon as Shen Wansha was happy, he didn't even intend to pay back the price, "Success, the young master will wait!"

Mrs. Cui hurriedly invited people upstairs, "Now that the rice cakes are not ready, please sit upstairs. Although the room upstairs is small, it is cleaned by the little woman herself. It is clean. Please don't dislike it... "

Shen Wansha walked in the front, and a group of people entered the room one after another. Mrs. Cui served herbal tea and snacks with a smile, said a few more polite words, and then went downstairs.

Lu Li looked around, and although the place was not particularly spacious, it was not as small as the proprietress said.

Three round tables were placed, and each table was covered with a water-red tablecloth embroidered with folded branches and gold thread. The four corners of the table hung down naturally, only five inches above the ground.Each round table is equipped with three embroidered pier, the embroidered pier is made of mahogany, and there are cushions with the same pattern as the round table.On the wall are ink paintings of peach blossoms and spring rivers, four floor-to-ceiling screens of plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum are placed opposite the door, and a thin-necked, round-bellied white porcelain beauty vase with flower branches is placed by the window...

The layout is very elegant and delicate.If you want to come to this place, it should be a place for guests to taste.It's just that the style is so graceful, probably most of the customers who come are female.

Shen Wansha took a sip of herbal tea and tasted the lotus leaf cake, his eyes lit up, "It's really delicious!"

He Lianyu looked at his bulging cheeks, his heart moved, he stretched out his long hand, grabbed the pastry in his hand and threw it into his mouth, "Really? I'll try it too."

"Isn't that still there! He wants to grab mine!" Shen Wansha couldn't grab He Lianyu, and angrily slapped the table.

The puppy also joined in the fun, pounced on Shen Wansha, barking very affectionately.

Zhao Zhu gave He Lianyu a slanted look, and was very contemptuous of this kind of flamboyant behavior.He stared blankly, threatening not to follow, and pulled Lu Li to the window, pointing to the sky, "Look over there!"

Lu Li really thought there was something wrong, so he tiptoed up to Zhao Zhu and looked up.

As a result, his cheeks turned cold...he was kissed.

Lu Li found out that he was cheated, and looked at Zhao Zhu helplessly, could he not be so childish...

Zhao Zhu touched his face, "More?"

He frowned slightly, as if he was troubled and helpless, "Although I might be seen, but my wife asked, I have to cooperate—"

Lu Li: ...Did you think I didn't see the pride in your eyes!

He calmly pushed away the protruding big head.

Zhao Zhu was very angry, "Why didn't you let me kiss you when you clearly agreed!"

Who told you that!Lu Li glared at Zhao Zhu, then turned his head indifferently.

He has now learned not to be obsessed with Zhao Zhu's thoughts. This person has a sick mind and normal people can't understand it.

With his daughter-in-law in front, of course Zhao Zhu couldn't give up the idea of ​​taking advantage, he fantasizes about putting Lu Li under him all the time, this way and that way, this doesn't work, kissing and hugging is always okay!

So he stood behind Lu Li, his tall figure blocked the sight of the "intimate and playful duo" at the table, and when Lu Li was not paying attention, he continued to make moves, "Daughter-in-law, look what's over there—"

Lu Li was really attracted by him, letting Zhao Zhu's mouth fall on the corner of his lips.

Zhao Zhu licked his daughter-in-law's lips, feeling that it was too sweet, and was eager to continue...and found that Lu Li's expression was wrong.

"how--"

"Hush—" Lu Li raised his hand, covered his mouth with great difficulty, and lowered his voice, "It's someone!"

Zhao Zhu looked over and immediately frowned.

Mrs. Cui's dim sum shop is not big, and there is a jewelry shop next door.The jewelry store has also turned the second floor into a guest room, and there are guests coming up at the moment.Because the two houses are close to each other, it is sweltering today and the windows are open, even if there are flowers and plants in front of the windows, as long as you pay attention, you can still see what people look like and what they say.

Mrs. Cui's arrangement was ingenious, and the terrain also had a slight advantage. Although Lu Li and Zhao Zhu were standing by the window, as long as they were careful, they would be in a favorable position that 'I can see others and others can't see me'.

Although he was not seen, he was blocked everywhere even when he secretly kissed her. Life is so difficult!Zhao Zhu sighed unhappily, but Lu Li subconsciously observed the customers of the jewelry shop.

The guest was a little girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old. She had a round face, big eyes, and a slightly raised nose. She was wearing a goose-yellow skirt. She had a delicate and lovely appearance.Listening to the conversation, the little girl seemed to be attending a very important flower feast, so she came here to choose a suitable hairpin.

This little girl should be from a good family background, the shopkeeper respects her very much, and the things they bring out are exquisite and generous, and they are not cheap at first glance.

The little girl frowned, picked up one and put down the other, after choosing for a while, she settled on a round hairpin inlaid with green beads and dotted with gold.The body of this hairpin is not long, the pattern is oblate and small, it is not particularly majestic and expensive, but it reveals a sense of beauty and cuteness, it is suitable for her age.

The little girl checked again and again, and finally the corners of her lips raised slightly, and she beckoned to the buddy...

"This hairpin is not bad, I want it, shopkeeper, wrap it up for me!" Suddenly a slender white hand snatched the round hairpin from the little girl, and shouted loudly.

The girl who snatched things looked fourteen or fifteen years old, with a well-developed figure, smoky eyebrows, beautiful eyes and a pointed chin, and an aggressive beauty.

The little girl in the yellow skirt quit, and immediately jumped up, "That's what I fell in love with first!"

"So what, you didn't say to buy it." The older girl's beautiful eyes rolled, and her voice was full of ridicule, "Every hairpin has to be compared left and right. Why, mother didn't give you any money?"

The little girl in the yellow skirt stared at the person opposite, slowly loosened her clenched fists, straightened her skirt slowly, and smiled softly, "I just said, my father promised my mother to have dinner together yesterday, but after dinner Time didn't see anyone, and it turned out that Aunt Shi invited her away again... Fifth Sister is lucky to have an aunt who always thinks of herself, and immediately finds a way to ask her father for money when she runs out of money."

The lips are also very harsh.

The older girl narrowed her eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about! My uncle gave me the money, so what does it have to do with my father! My father will visit my aunt in the future, so what's wrong with thinking about it for a while, don't talk nonsense outside!"

The little girl in the yellow skirt sighed, "I advise my sister to be more careful. What uncle, your uncle? Our family's serious relatives, the serious uncle's surname is Lan! The uncles haven't come to Xijing recently, how can they give you money? Since Aunt Shi entered the Huai family, she was born as a member of the Huai family, and died as a ghost of the Huai family. She has to rely on her father for food and clothing. What does it mean to have nothing to do with her father? Sister, someday Aunt Shi will have nothing to do with her father ...that's the big deal."

"you--"

"How am I?"

The two girls spoke very quickly and were very emotional. Seeing that they were about to pinch each other, the servants hurried up to persuade them.Some called Miss Fifth to calm down, some persuaded Miss Six to stop talking, and the scene became chaotic.

Lu Li noticed that the clerk of the jewelry shop had already closed the door and went out. He didn't know if he avoided it deliberately, or if the servants around the two ladies signaled.

The noise was not low, Shen Wansha held a piece of cake, and He Lianyu walked over curiously to see, "What's going on?" In order not to disturb others quarreling, Shen Wansha's voice was soft and cautious.

"The two girls are arguing." Lu Li cooperatively gave up his position.

Several people listened for a while and realized that they bumped into the person from Huaifu.

The little girl in the yellow skirt is the sixth miss of Huai Mansion, named Huai Xin, a concubine who was raised under Mrs. Huai Lan Xin's lap since she was a child; a girl who is a little older than her and is quite well-developed is the fifth miss of Huai Mansion, named Huai Yu, She is the second daughter of the concubine Shi Shi, and also a concubine.

"Huaixin! Let me tell you, don't go crazy just because your mother raised you. Your mother has raised you for more than ten years, but she still hasn't recorded you in her name or given you money!"

"Fifth Sister puts on airs high, isn't she envious that I can be raised by my mother? It's a pity, your aunt is not dead, and she is still disobedient. Even if you ask your mother, your mother will not support you!"

"Just a concubine—"

"Hey, isn't sister a concubine? What did Aunt Shi tell you? Could it be that she lost her mind and went crazy, dare to say anything?"

……

The two girls were blocked by the servants, and they were able to argue with each other, pinching the sky to darkness.

Lu Li clicked his tongue.

However, Shen Wansha watched with gusto, "Both are concubine daughters, there will definitely be conflicts because of fighting for living resources, but due to fate, one was raised by the head mother since childhood, no matter what happens now, there will definitely be a concubine in the future." A female name is registered, and she finds her husband's family to marry with a good reputation; born of a concubine, she is good-looking, rich and free, but in the future, she will definitely have a limited future because of her name as a concubine... Tsk tsk, a house fight drama."

Zhao Zhu found it very boring, women fighting were too boring, they came and went just to talk harshly, and hated it so much that they didn't dare to fight... But it's probably not interesting to fight, and these two ladies don't look like they have practiced martial arts.

He Lianyu commented on the appearance of the two of them, "The younger one has a sharp tongue and a cute appearance, the older one is charming and enchanting, and his mouth is not bad... Each has its own beauty." Sure enough, Da Xia has no shortage of beauties.He stroked his chin and wondered, for some reason in the past few decades, the Motuo tribe has had more men than women, especially the soldiers under his command. Some of them are in their 30s and still can't get married... Do you want to talk to Emperor Daxia? How about a marriage?

When Shen Wansha heard He Lianyu's words, he turned his head and glared at him, his smile was particularly meaningful.

He Lianyu was puzzled, "What are you laughing at?"

"It's pretty..." Shen Wansha winked, "Although the mouth is a bit sharp and the person is a bit small, but it's really pretty."

He Lianyu felt something was wrong, "You saw me staring at them?"

Shen Wansha put his shoulders, "I watched it too... Reaching for the stars, beauties can be admired, but you can't flirt with them at will. Just look at it like this, the young master thinks it's still allowed."

"You don't have... other emotions?" For example, jealous, unhappy or something...

Shen Wansha shook his head, "No." He looked puzzled, "What should I have?"

He Lianyu looked at Shen Wansha seriously for a while, and was sure that what he said was true, he sighed helplessly, "...it's nothing."

Zhao Zhu laughed out loud.

Lu Li and Shen Wansha looked at him together, with the same expressions in their eyes: What's wrong?

Zhao Zhu squinted at He Lianyu, and proudly embraced Lu Li in his arms.This king has managed to catch up with his wife, you are so capable of surname Shen that you don't know anything!

He Lianyu calmly pulled Shen Wansha away, ignoring Ping Wang, a good-for-nothing.

The two ladies in the jewelry shop next door didn't know whether they were tired from arguing or impatient to be dragged by the servants. Fifth Miss Huai straightened her dress and looked at the little green hairpin with disdain, "You are the only one who is so petty. The old lady likes the little girl to be happy and happy, so I don’t want cheap ones!” After speaking, she snorted and left with her head held high.

Miss Huai Liu looked at the green hairpin quietly, "I'm not old enough, what should I do first? This one is just right..."

After Miss Huai Wu left, the clerk appeared soon, and Miss Huai Liu apologized generously, and asked the people around her to give a lot of shock money, holding the hairpin and smiling sweetly, "I want this hairpin." .”

……

After watching the scolding battle, Lu Li was thoughtful.

Under normal circumstances, children's personality has a lot to do with their growth environment.Fifth Miss Huai has to be strong, her personality doesn't seem restrained, she should not be too low-key in Huai Mansion, like a poor concubine Xiaobaicai, Lu Li intuitively feels that this concubine named Shi in Huai Mansion should be unusual.The uncle that Miss Huaiwu spoke of should be Shi Shi's younger brother. He and Shen Wansha had met Shen Wansha when they left Huaifu a few days ago. He seemed to be a very modest and careful person... very contradictory.

There is also Sixth Miss Huai, a concubine who was raised by Mrs. Huai Lan Xin's knees since she was a child. If Mrs. Huai raises her harshly and raises her into a class of ladies, even if she is powerful, she must have hidden needles in her hair, and she is especially careful about propriety. On occasions, she won't disregard her reputation to quarrel with others outside; if she is raised in the direction of killing, she should be more arrogant. Today's scene is a bit small... So what is Mrs. Hua thinking?

The Huai family can make trouble outside, even if they drive away the buddy in time, this kind of behavior is not appropriate.If this kind of behavior has been happening all the time... Lu Li doesn't understand why there aren't too many rumors about Huaifu in the market?

People in the market place are often very curious about the rich and powerful people. As long as they are given a little bit of wind, they can spread things in a mess, and it is impossible for there to be no rumors.

This Huaifu... is very unusual.

'Aww——' Dabai came over to lick Lu Li's finger, probably seeing that he was motionless, thinking that something was wrong with him.

Zhao Zhu also crossed his shoulders with his big hands, and pressed the center of his brows, "Don't wrinkle."

Lu Li looked at Dabai who tilted his head and looked up at him, then looked at Zhao Zhu's eyes, smiled and pulled Zhao Zhu's hand, "...OK."

This episode came and went quickly. When Mrs. Cui came up to inform them that the rice cakes were ready, the four of them were already quietly sitting at the table drinking tea again.

……

Sure enough, the Baita Temple was not far away. With offerings, several people arrived at the Baita Temple in more than two quarters of an hour.

This temple has probably existed for a very long time. There are big trees surrounded by four people, steles that have weathered wind and rain, smooth and shiny bluestone steps, and ancient scripture pavilions. The whole temple has a very strong feeling. The sense of history, solemn, gentle and inclusive, makes people quiet.

Shen Wansha took Lu Li to pay homage to the Bodhisattvas, offering offerings and a lot of sesame oil money.The posture of prostration and piety are all expressed.

The old monk clasped his palms together to thank them, praised the offerings, and recommended them to go around and have fun. At noon, they can have a fast meal in the temple.

The Baita Temple has been passed down to this day. It has a large area and is full of incense. There are many places to appreciate, the most famous of which is the White Pagoda.

The white pagoda is thirteen stories high, and a lot of white jade was used in the construction process. It is still white and flawless, and everyone in the world is shocked.

It's just that the White Pagoda has lasted for more than two hundred years, and the temple worried that no matter how strong it was, it would not be able to withstand the toss, so there was a regulation. It is open at the end of the day and closed at the beginning of the day, and it is only open for more than two hours.Any pilgrims who come to the temple can enter and exit freely during this time.

Shen Wansha was very happy, it would be good if he didn't come early enough, the White Pagoda was waiting for him to come and see it!

He excitedly pulled Lu Li, called He Lianyu and Zhao Zhu, and ran all the way in the direction of the White Pagoda.

The time they arrived also happened to be when the White Tower was open.

The three monks took the keys and walked to the door at the bottom of the pagoda. Just as they were about to unlock it, there was a circle of people around them, probably waiting to go up to the pagoda to see the scenery.

"It's better to come early than to come early!" Shen Wansha rubbed his fists, his eyes sparkled, "Young master wants to go up first!"

At this moment, the chain rattled, and the monks pushed open the pagoda door, took the chain and retreated, and the people began to walk forward.

Shen Wansha was impatient, pushed away the crowd and jumped out, Lu Li didn't hold his hand, a little worried, "There are so many people, don't be crowded!"

Zhao Zhu squinted at He Lianyu, who cares who's wife is!

He Lianyu had already practiced lightness kung fu, and his figure deftly bypassed the crowd and walked to Shen Wansha's side.He didn't hold Shen Wansha, but protected him and walked forward.

Lu Li felt relieved.

In fact, there were not many people waiting in front of the White Pagoda, but the pagoda gate was too narrow, at most two or three people could pass through at a time, if a fat man came, he might get stuck.Since the little friend is not in danger, Lu Li is unwilling to squeeze with a group of people, and plans to go up with the crowd at the end.

So he didn't move.

Sure enough, Shen Wansha rushed to the second floor first, poked his head out to look at Lu Li's position, and greeted him proudly, "Little Li, I'm coming up!"

Lu Li waved at him. Seeing that there were still many people queuing up to enter the door, they were standing there waiting for the sun, so he dragged Zhao Zhu to the east to enjoy the shade under the big tree.

Shen Wansha climbed five floors in one breath, and ran to the direction just now to say hello to Lu Li. When he looked down, the line at the door was almost gone, but there was no sign of Lu Li anywhere.Thinking back, he seemed to see Lu Li dragging Zhao Zhu to the east... He rolled his eyes and immediately ran to the east.

Turning the direction, he found Lu Quer who was enjoying the shade under the shade of a tree. Shen Wansha raised his hands high, "Little Quercus—"

He didn't call out all the names, his face suddenly changed, his face was pale, and his hands were shaking unnaturally.I don't know where my hands and feet were careless and I didn't use any strength. I suddenly slipped and fell off the railing!

Lu Li's frightened face immediately turned pale. A fall from such a tall tower is not a minor injury!

"Zhao Zhu—" His lips trembled, and he pushed Zhao Zhu, "Go save Shen Wansha!"

Zhao Zhu was very relaxed, hugged Lu Li and patted his back, "Don't worry, that person is here."

Lu Li was confused, "Who?"

Following his words, a silver-white figure rushed down from the tower like a preying white seabird!

It's Reaching for the Stars!

I don't know how he accelerated, he was obviously later than Shen Wansha, but his speed was much faster than Shen Wansha, and he rushed to Shen Wansha's side almost in the blink of an eye!He took Shen Wansha's hand, turned around lightly, hugged the young master in his arms, turned over in the air, changed up and down, kicked off the protruding tower edge, and hooked lightly again, very Handsomely holding Shen Wansha upside down on the third-story railing!Very steady!

The crisis is over!

The crowd on the tower was attracted by the noise, and many people applauded spontaneously.

Lu Li couldn't be happy.

Because he found that the little partner's expression was very wrong.

Shen Wansha is a bit silly and bold. Some things were scary at the time, but not when they passed. For example, when he saw his autopsy, he was always afraid at the beginning, but he accepted it after a while, and even became excited. The emotions passed away, not even the nightmare will do.

But now, his small face is still frighteningly white, his eyes are wide open, full of horror, absolutely abnormal!

"Master!" Lu Li shouted loudly, deliberately urging Zhai Xing to come down quickly, so as not to scare him.

Who knew that Shen Wansha heard him shouting and immediately returned to God. His hands and feet stunned in the air, screamed, and his voice was wronged and scared.
