I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Pei Xiang followed Lin Ruhai to the Lin Mansion, Mrs. Lin Jia Min had already received the letter in advance, knowing that when her husband returned to the mansion today, he would bring back a charming guest.

Counting the time, she led people to wait at the second gate early, and when she saw Pei Xiang, she smiled and stepped forward to hold her hand.

"Let me see, is this the female Zhuge of Zhidou Painted Skin? She really looks like a fairy."

Jia Min looked at Pei Xiang with a smile, and praised his good looks and demeanor in his heart.

——No wonder the strict and self-disciplined King Duan was so concerned, everything was already arranged before he was formally taken in by his side.

——If she can give birth to a son and a half daughter in the future, maybe she will be officially canonized, and then she will really rise to the top.

"Sister Pei, ever since I learned about your deeds in the master's letter, I have admired you very much. I have always thought that it would be great if I could get to know you and get closer for a few days.

I never thought that God would take pity on me and actually send you to my side. In the past few days, I have to recite Amitabha a few more times every day. "

Pei Xiang could feel the enthusiasm and kindness of Mrs. Lin, she bowed and saluted, and also greeted sincerely and friendly.

"Thanks to Madam for her love, Xiang deserves such praise.

This time it was able to escape safely, thanks to the great help of the third master and Master Lin, Taoist Master Tofu Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian with compassion and profound magic power, so that the monster could not escape the result of death.

It is really a great honor for Xiang to see Mrs. Lin now, and to be under the protection of the Lin family for a while. "

Jia Min smiled slightly, and patted the back of Pei Xiang's hand lightly to show comfort and closeness.

Then, she said to Lin Ruhai: "Master is going home. If you think about it, you will be tired from the journey. Why don't you go to the front yard to freshen up. Let me and sister Pei get close, and then take her to see the new residence and talk about it." Personal talk between sisters."

Lin Ruhai has always loved his wife, Jia Shi, and believed in her ability to handle affairs.After bringing Pei Xiang back to the Lin Mansion and handing it over to Jia Min, he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief as if he had completed a major event.

At this time, when he heard Jia Min asking him to wash and rest, Lin Ruhai nodded slightly in agreement, and after giving Pei Xiang a few gentle words, he turned and left.

Jia Min led Pei Xiang into the second gate, walked through the elegant and small garden, and walked along the winding path.

While chatting with Pei Xiang about homework, she introduced the scenery along the way to her, and revealed a little about the daily living habits in the Lin Mansion by the way, so that Pei Xiang would not feel at a loss and unfamiliar.

When they arrived at the residence specially arranged for Pei Xiang, Jia Min drank a cup of tea with Pei Xiang and talked about calligraphy, painting, poetry, fragrance, playing the piano, playing chess and other elegant things.

Jia Min discovered that although Pei Xiang was not very good at poetry and writing, she was good at painting and calligraphy. She was good at rhythm and understood the sound of the piano.

Seeing this, Jia Min was even more satisfied, and completely let go of the grudges caused by Pei Xiang's background as a dancer.

"I have a son and a daughter, and they live with me in the main courtyard. When the weather clears up tomorrow, I'll bring them to play with you. You can't dislike those two little monkeys making trouble."

Pei Xiang deliberately hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "If I become a big rogue monkey and bring two little monkeys to make trouble with you, my sister will have a headache. Don't dislike the three of us then."

Jia Min nodded Pei Xiang from a distance, and looked at her with a smile: "Although it's noisy, I wish our house would be lively. If sister Pei becomes the king of children, I'll be an extra big girl like a flower, Immediately turn around and prepare a dowry for you."

"It seems that just for the dowry prepared by my wife, I have to be a child king. It doesn't matter if I get younger. The most important thing is that someone loves me."

This remark caused a burst of laughter, and Jia Min asked a few more questions about Pei Xiang's food and clothing arrangements, and after finding nothing missing, he got up and said goodbye to Pei Xiang.

Before leaving, Jia Min left Yun Ge, the capable maidservant beside him, to Pei Xiang, and beat the servant girl temporarily assigned to Pei Xiang again.Afterwards, she left the courtyard where Pei Xiang was temporarily staying with her people.

In the early morning of the second day, after breakfast, Pei Xiang asked Yun Ge about Jia Min's daily schedule, and after learning the appropriate time to visit, he ordered someone to bring out the meeting gift she had prepared in advance.

After reading the book for a while, Pei Xiang guessed that Jia Min should be free, so he got up and walked to the main courtyard of the Lin Mansion.

"Sister Pei, you're here. I was talking about taking my eldest sister to your place. Come, Daiyu, this is my aunt."

Three-year-old Daiyu, who had just celebrated her birthday, was wearing a cherry pink blouse and was playing with a big multicolored embroidered satin tiger on the couch.

She was busy fiddling with the tassels and beads on the toy, when she suddenly heard her mother calling her name, she looked up cutely.

Sitting next to Jia Min, Pei Xiang was immediately poked by Baby Daiyu's ignorant eyes.She showed a big smile, turned her bare hands, and conjured up a series of nine rings like a magic trick, and shook it at Xiao Daiyu.

The crisp impact sound and the colorful decorations on Jiulianhuan caught the attention of the three-year-old child. Her eyes moved with Pei Xiang's movements. After watching for a while, she was probably tired, so she showed a smile to Pei Xiang. Sweet and shy smile.

Pei Xiang immediately felt his heart melt.

She hastily handed Jiulianhuan to the nurse next to Daiyu, and took out a pony carved from jade from the tray behind her. The quality of the jade was average, but the pony was carved very vividly. Look is carefully selected.

"I'm sorry for you, sister Pei."

Jia Min didn't say any more polite excuses, but directly thanked Pei Xiang. She looked at the various small gifts that Pei Xiang had prepared for Daiyu and her brother, and her smile became more genuine.

Pei Xiang didn't say much humility either, she chatted with Jia Min while watching the three-year-old version of Sister Lin playing.

Jia Min always remembered the main reason why Pei Xiang came to live in the Lin Mansion temporarily, so she began to tell Pei Xiang some things in the imperial capital.She started from the main concubine of Duan Wang's mansion, and then from the main concubine's natal family to the third prince's mother concubine, slowly unfolding the human relationship.

Pei Xiang listened very carefully.Even though she has no plans to enter Prince Duan's Mansion, there is absolutely no harm in knowing more information, not to mention that it is a rare opportunity for Jia Min, who was born in Rongguo Mansion, to explain it in person.

Of course, what Jia Min talked about most was the relationship between the female family members in the back house, and the nature of the background of the concubine's concubine of Duan Wangfu.And Pei Xiang was more concerned about the court structure, and what the hell King Duan was going to do when he came to the south of the Yangtze River this time.

She thought, Duan Wang is not a love brain, but has a great cause in his heart. If she can move it to benefit and understand it with reason, she can always find a breakthrough.

After talking with Jia Min for a while, Pei Xiang got up and left when she saw that Jia Min had a guest to see.

On this day, Pei Xiang was sorting out all kinds of news that he had received these days, when the eldest maid Yun Ge suddenly came to report:

"Miss Pei, a crazy monk has just come to the mansion. He yelled and said a lot of crazy words. He also said that he was going to become a monk, which made the master and wife look very bad. The master sent someone For me, I implore Miss Pei to go to the main courtyard and say that I have something to discuss.

Pei Xiang raised his eyebrows slightly, knowing that this was a plot in Dream of the Red Chamber.

On the first day Lin Daiyu went to Jia's mansion, she mentioned this experience when she was three years old.She said that at that time, the Lins and his wife didn't pay much attention to the words of monks and Taoists, and regarded them as nonsense, but tried their best to take care of her body from the aspect of medicine.

After Pei Xiang came to Lin's mansion, she heard from around the corner that there was no lame Taoist monk monk in this mansion, so she has been waiting for this plot to happen.

She got up and straightened her skirt, and took Yun Ge to the main courtyard.

When she arrived, Lin Ruhai was hugging and coaxing her daughter, while Jia Min sat beside her with a displeased face.

"Master Lin, Mrs. Lin, I just heard Yun Ge briefly mention some monks or monks, what's going on?"

Jia Min sighed and looked lovingly at the little daughter sitting in her husband's arms.

"My offspring is difficult, and I only got such a daughter in middle age. However, she has been weak and sick since she was born, and the soup and medicine have hardly been stopped. The master and I have been worried.

I never thought that today a crazy monk with a skinny head suddenly came to the mansion and said... If you want Daiyu to grow old safely, Daiyu must leave home, the master and I naturally refuse.

He also said that unless Daiyu never cries in her life, and then sees no relatives with other surnames except her biological parents, she can be cured of the weakness brought about by the womb and live a stable and healthy life.

After saying this, the monk left without waiting for my master and I to continue to ask. The guards, porter and servants couldn't see how he got out of the gate. It seemed that there was indeed something strange about it. "

At this time, Lin Ruhai had already put Xiao Daiyu to sleep, and after handing the child over to the nurse, he raised his head and said to Pei Xiang:

"Miss Pei, to tell you the truth, before I met you, I didn't really believe in these ghosts and gods and mystical fates.

If I had heard the words of that scarlet-headed monk a few days ago, I definitely wouldn't have paid much attention to it. I would just have thought that he was a swindling alchemist who had learned a few tricks of bluffing and came to my Lin residence to play tricks on me.

However, I have seen that painted-skinned monster with my own eyes, witnessed the strange abilities of Taoist Priest Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian to subdue demons and slay demons, so I have to admit that there are indeed magical and supernatural existences in this world.

I even wondered whether my Lin family's heirs are weak, and my daughter and son are born weak. Is it related to fate. "

Pei Xiang understood, and continued with Lin Ruhai's words: "Master Lin already has concerns and speculations in his heart, and this sloppy monk happened to appear at this time and said such things, so you have to be careful. In the past, I just thought it was nonsense. The talk is sensational, but now, I am afraid of being prophesied by that scarlet monk."

"That's exactly why Lin hastily asked for Miss Pei to come.

Miss Pei, you are a clear-headed person, and you have dealt with that painted skin ghost for a long time, so you can understand the inside story of certain things better.My husband and I are in a state of anxiety at this moment, and we are really a little uncertain about paying attention, so we have to bother Miss Pei for a while.

We want to ask you, do you think the words of that scorpion-headed monk are credible?If Daiyu wants to have a safe life, should she really follow what he said? "

Thinking of the harsh requirements that monk Laitou said, Jia Min's eyes turned slightly red, and he looked at the sleeping little Daiyu and said "my poor daughter" three times.

Pei Xiang also looked at the little milk baby with pity, and suggested in a gentle voice:

"Master Lin, you are so anxious and confused, how can I give you an accurate answer if you ask me these things.

However, I thought, instead of being suspicious here, it is better to ask the real masters.

Master Lin, have you forgotten Taoist Priest Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian?Since those two were able to eliminate the Painted Skin Ghost, they are immortal teachers with real abilities. As for Daiyu's fate, please ask them to have a look, maybe they will get some help. "

Lin Ruhai's eyes lit up at Pei Xiang's words, but then they became sad again.

"To tell you the truth, Miss Pei, the last time Lin was able to invite those two immortal masters out, he also borrowed the face of King Duan. Normally, those two immortal masters would not easily meet people or make a move easily. This area in the south of the Yangtze River No matter how many officials and rich families, they couldn't invite those two."

Pei Xiang was puzzled: "Since those two immortal masters are so hard to find, why do they still have such a great reputation among the common people?"

Lin Ruhai showed a complex expression: "The rich and powerful families don't invite them, but they often walk among the common people. They often show up on their own initiative to solve some troubles for the suffering people. When they leave, they say "fate is here, no thanks".

So gradually, everyone knew that going to specially invite Taoist Priest Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian would often return in vain, only when the fate came.

When the fate comes, the victim does not need to be personally invited, and the two of them will appear in time to save people.Hey, that's a real outsider who doesn't get caught up in the world of mortals. "

"Is it so difficult to hire? Not even Jinling Zhen's family?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head, thinking that Pei Xiang was just asking a random example.After all, the Zhen family is powerful and wealthy in Jiangnan area.

But after Pei Xiang got Lin Ruhai's answer, some guesses in his heart suddenly became clear.

She had more personal contacts with Taoist Ziyang and others, so she knew better about the "mortal world" of those two people. They were definitely not really noble people who ignored worldly affairs, and they had their own set of standards in mind.

——Ignore the Zhen family, probably not because they really treat everyone equally, but because they know that the luck of the Zhen family will not last long, and they don't want to have more karma involved.

"Master Lin, if you don't try it, how do you know that Taoist Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian are not willing to make a move? Daiyu is so cute, smart and well-behaved, she must be blessed."

Lin Ruhai felt that he understood the ways of those two immortal masters better than Pei Xiang, and he always felt that there was little hope in his heart.But it was about his daughter's life, he felt that what Pei Xiang said was right, if he didn't try it, how could he know that it would not work.

"Since that's the case, Lin will give it a try."

After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he didn't waste any more time, and quickly ordered his servants to go to the yamen to ask for leave for him, and then asked them to prepare the carriages and horses for his trip, and he planned to invite them himself.

Before Lin Ruhai left, Pei Xiang offered his second suggestion:

"Lord Lin, Mrs. Lin, forgive me for taking the liberty, but I just listened to what you two said, and I think what the scarlet monk said is very interesting.

Leaving aside the first method of becoming a monk, I will only talk about the second one.

There is no crying, which is understandable, and excessive sadness is really not conducive to longevity.However, it is very interesting not to see relatives with other surnames. Does it mean that if Daiyu has any difficulties in the future, it will come from relatives with other surnames, so the monk must specifically point out this solution. "

Seeing Jia Min's expression changed slightly, Pei Xiang immediately smiled apologetically at her:

"Madam Lin, don't be surprised, I'm not saying that relatives with other surnames are about to harm Daiyu, but that the theory of fate and the matter of gods and ghosts have always been mysterious.

Perhaps, Daiyu and a relative with a foreign surname have some past life ties, and this life is involved. It is harmless to be separated, but they will hinder each other when they meet. Such things are not understandable by common sense. "

Pei Xiang's words made Jia Min's expression lighten, she felt that she was being overwhelmed just now.This Miss Pei has no grievances with the Jia family, so it is impossible to specifically target her natal family.

Moreover, she was just telling the truth just now, and helped the couple to analyze the words of the scarlet monk in depth.

Besides, the Lin family's relatives with other surnames are definitely not limited to the Jia family. I don't know how many relatives with other surnames in the Lin family's in-laws.

"Miss Pei, you don't need to be upset. I know you mean well, and I won't think too much about it. And to be honest, although I am close to my natal family, compared with my daughter's life's well-being, other human dignity is trivial. Besides, it's just It's just not meeting, and it won't hurt my family."

Seeing that Jia Min didn't have any grudges against her, Pei Xiang continued:

"If you really don't see your relatives with a different surname, it will be easy for Daiyu when she is in her boudoir, but if she gets married in the future, then it will be difficult to persist."

These words made Jia Min and Lin Ruhai feel awe.

If they never believed in the existence of mysterious and strange things, they would not think too much about it, let alone take the words of the scarlet monk to heart.However, they have already tacitly accepted the existence of mysterious things at this time, so they have to think deeply along the words of the scarlet head monk.

——If Daoist Ziyang or Abbot Jing Nian refuses to help, or is not capable enough, then, for the sake of their daughter's life, the Lin family will have to pamper Daiyu for the rest of their lives.

——If Daiyu never married, her parents would still be able to give her a stable life while they were still alive.But if the parents are gone, and the brothers also get married and have their own wives, concubines and children, how can they always take care of the elder sister who is alone?

——If things really develop in the worst direction, as parents, we have to make perfect preparations for our child, so that she will have no worries in her life and will not be bullied.

At this moment, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's aura became stronger invisibly. They seemed to have the obsession to persevere for a long time, which made the energy of the husband and wife become extremely energetic.

And when one's energy and spirit are improved, the body will also be subtly affected, complementing each other, which is naturally beneficial to life expectancy. Of course, this is a later story.

Pei Xiang stopped talking and said nothing more.

Now she is only waiting to see the reactions of Daoist Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian. If they are willing to intervene in the Lin family's affairs, it will be a good thing for Sister Lin, and for her, Pei Xiang, it will also allow her to confirm more inferences and conjectures.

——If they reject the Zhen family, they are willing to help the Lin family who just got in touch with Duan Wang...

Since staying at the Lin family, Pei Xiang has been pondering and speculating about Ming Zhao's future identity.

These days, she has received a lot of news from Jia Min, especially the background and current situation of the princes, combined with what she knew about the later plot of the Dream of the Red Chamber, Pei Xiang discovered that the Prince Duan is likely to be the future servant. The decree copied the new emperor of the Jia family.

——Anyway, the one supported by the Jia family and the grandson of the prince of the Zhen family are definitely not the final winners. After excluding the two who seem to have the most hope, then compare the remaining princes. Duan Wang, who doesn't win and doesn't like favoritism, is very likely to be in power in the end.

——Leaving aside personal grievances, as a prince, Prince Duan does have many merits.

——The most important thing is that Taoist Ziyang's attitude towards Duan Wang Mingzhao is definitely not ordinary respect. If it is just because they want to be associated with the royal family, it is too much.

——Leaving aside the rest, let's just talk about the Zhen family in Jinling.That is the most popular prince's natal family at present, but Taoist Ziyang and others did not show the slightest favor or bias, and they did not even give a "fate" to the Zhen family.

——If you really want to have an ordinary good relationship with the royal family, wouldn't it be more convenient to please the Zhen family and then the prince supported by the Zhen family?Even Concubine Zhen in the palace can blow the pillow breeze, why bother to wait until Prince Duan comes to Jiangnan?

——In addition, Prince Duan was not the only prince in Jiangnan at this time, the seventh prince was also busy behind his elder brother, and Taoist Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian did not see each other more than once.

Pei Xiang thought about it, so he waited for the result of Lin Ruhai's visit.

Of course, before Lin Ruhai's trip, Pei Xiang used the excuse that she had a lot of exchanges with the two fairy masters and had the experience of killing the painted skin ghost together, so she was willing to write a letter to each other personally.

The first is to greet and thank you, and the second is to talk about friendship, to see if you can help the Lin family one or two.

The Lin couple were naturally happy, and Pei Xiang immediately borrowed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the main courtyard to write letters to Taoist Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian.

In the first half of the letter, she wrote according to what she just said. When it came to the second half of the letter, she changed her style of writing and began to talk about a dream that she often had recently.

She wrote that in the dream, the phantom of the white fox that had appeared once came again and spoke.

The white fox asked her why, after having a fate and promise with the descendants of their white fox clan, she still got involved with a man of the royal family in the world?

Naturally, Pei Xiang responded honestly, and it was not her will to have an intersection with the royal family, but now that the nobleman has given him grace, she can't disobey it.If possible, she naturally hopes to keep the promise she made with the white fox and live up to her predecessors.

She went on to write that the mighty and huge white fox phantom sighed after realizing that what she said was the truth.Afterwards, he solemnly warned her that she must find a way to break the evil relationship here as soon as possible, otherwise, it would be of no benefit to that royal family member or to herself.

Pei Xiang said in the letter that every time she woke up from the dream, she felt very terrified, and because the matter was too strange to tell outsiders, she had to write to the respected Daoist Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian, please help She thought of a way, how to cut off the nobleman's reverie about her.

Of course, she knew that the two immortal masters were outsiders, and they should not participate in the mortal grievances and grievances of the mundane world, for fear of delaying their pure practice.So she thought, if she can also become a monk, then the nobleman will naturally not pester her.

Therefore, at the end of the letter, Pei Xiang asked Taoist Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian, if she wanted to learn some mysterious techniques, which would not only cut off ties with the royal family, but also better fulfill the promise with the white fox clan, would she Where should I go to learn art from a teacher?

After Pei Xiang finished writing the letter and sealed it carefully, he handed the letter to Lin Ruhai.

——Dreams are of course false, but those words are true.

——I promised Abai to take good care of him, to play with him, and to leave the place next to the pillow for him to use as a fox's den. This is also a promise to a little white fox, right?

——Daoist Ziyang and Abbot Jing Nian seemed to be in awe and fear of the phantom white fox, so she should borrow the other's name once.

——Don't blame the big white fox senior, for the sake of the little white fox, please help.

——Of course, if the senior big white fox is Ah Bai, then there will be no objections. After all, I am fighting for Ah Bai's fixed position in the fox den.
