[Qing Chuan + Red Mansion] Midas touch

Whether they are rich and powerful families or ordinary people from poor backgrounds, they pray to God and Buddha not only for a response, but also for a spiritual sustenance.

So after Zuo Xi's rogue remarks were made, the threshold of Quicui'an was stepped on.

Getting up early, Zuo Xi took the girls to the first stick of incense every day.

After the girls finished offering incense, the girls who followed also lined up to offer the second stick of incense.

The first wave left Changcui Temple at the meal time of Rongqingtang, and took a piece of precious jade from the Yihong Courtyard out of the garden. Changcui Temple is about to welcome the second wave of big and small people who live with their master in the Grand View Garden. The little girls and those mothers and mothers-in-law who are looking for a future for their children.

These people are even more noisy. It is not about the order of incense burning, but it is the "Yo, you are here too", "Why are you here?" gossip.

This wave will wait until the breakfast round at Rongqing Hall is over before they leave Quicui Nunnery in a hurry and return to their respective posts.

But do you think this is over?

No no no, it's just halftime.

Because Mrs. Wang listened to Zuo Xi's words, since she had to offer incense and recite Buddha's name every day, why didn't she go to the nunnery where her elder daughter was lucky enough to go, and insisted on staying in the small Buddhist hall in her yard.

Doesn't this give Yuanchun face?

Mrs. Wang was instigated by Zuo Xi's fallacies, and she would take people into the garden every day to offer incense after breakfast.

Furthermore, Li Wan, who lived in the garden, also followed the crowd to seek safety and future for Jia Lan.

And Aunt Zhao, Aunt Zhou, Mrs. Xing and the girls, daughter-in-law and mother-in-law in the courtyard of their house also came to teach and teach.Think about it, there are so many female dependents in this Jia family, and the big garden is only closed and locked at night...

Miaoyu was really going to be overwhelmed by this endless wave of people offering incense and worshiping Buddha.

The scariest thing is not a day or two, but after everyone has become a habit of clocking in, it is like this every day.

From morning till night, Changcui Nunnery was shrouded in the incense sticks that were placed by the crowd, smoky, like a fairyland.

The billowing thick smoke not only smoked the entire Changcui Temple into a unique and ancient temple, but also smoked the Miaoyu, which had a faint fragrance of fat and powder, like a piece of walking Sichuan bacon.

The aroma is tangy~

Because this Buddhist temple is pure and quiet, Miaoyu stayed in the ear room from morning to night, never going out.Baoyu is a crazy person, but also likes to join in the fun.I have been to changcui'an several times, but I didn't see Miaoyu, but I was angry with Miaoyu.

Without him, because Baoyu had seen the world, he asked someone to go to the temple and nunnery outside and ask for a set of lottery holders and various lottery strips.

So these people who came to Changcui'an to scan their faces and check in not only offered incense and chatted, but they also drew lotteries from morning till night.Shake it to the upper sign, and laugh with others happily.Shake to the next lottery. This one doesn't work, I want to shake it again.

What is the most annoying thing?

These maids and women hardly knew any words, and the servants of Rongguo Mansion were all extraordinary existences.So even if Miaoyu stayed in the ear room, she was often disturbed.

'Master Miaoyu, what is written on this sign? '

'Master Miaoyu, what do you mean by this? '

'Master Miaoyu, the signature is gone. '

'...'

Miaoyu: "..." I hate Baoyu to death, is there anything?

Zuo Xi came up with such a wicked trick after being 'used' to Miao Yu for a few days, Miao Yu didn't expect that after she endured Zuo Xi for a few days, she would get such a violent counterattack.He was so angry that his anger rose, and the corners of his mouth were blistered, but he couldn't think of a solution.

Eleven, who has been quietly following the situation here, was stunned in disbelief when he heard the news, and then he laughed uncontrollably.

It's really, really cute.

Eleven laughed, and then asked about Xue Pan's situation.

Eleven placed someone next to Xue Pan, but he didn't tell Feng Ziying. Instead, he asked Feng Ziying to arrange more drinking parties for Xue Pan, and asked him to observe Xue Pan's words and deeds more.

After several days of observation, Eleven found that Xue Pan was such a rough man with a padlock on his mouth.

Miaoyu's news has never been mentioned to anyone.

Seeing him like this, Eleven decided how to play Xue Pan's chess, and made the Xue family's chessboard alive.

Get up, go to the window, fold off an apricot blossom that protruded from the window and throw it out of the window, "Call Xue Pan to see me."

Tian Guo waved to Xiaozi who was standing by the door, and that Xiaozi bent down to make arrangements.But Tian Guo, who stayed in the house and continued to serve Eleven, took note of Eleven's actions just now.

March is the season when apricot blossoms are in full bloom, and an apricot tree was planted outside the window on November [-].It's just that this apricot flower is a bit out of bounds.

Eleven is now living in the hot spring village in Xiaotangshan, not only is it very convenient to see Xue Pan, but he doesn't have to be tied up when doing other things.

At this moment, Shi Shi asked someone to ask Xue Pan to come to see him, and then turned around and went to the hot spring again.

Hot springs are indeed a good thing, at least for eleven, they are very useful.

Xiaotangshan was not close to the capital, so Xue Pan came here on horseback with his men until noon.

Coming up the mountain at this time, I will definitely stay overnight at night.So without Shi Shi's order, Tian Guo took those who went up the mountain with Xue Pan to resettle.

When Zhou Yun also left with others, Eleven talked to Xue Pan for a long time with a gentle and good temper.

"...I heard from people in the palace that this year's Martial Arts Examination is scheduled for October. I have been hearing Brother Xue say that he wants to become an official with martial arts, and thinking that Brother Xue is good at shooting arrows, so I paid extra attention. "

The news of the Martial Arts Palace Examination came from the palace only recently, Xue Pan naturally hadn't heard of it yet.At this moment, Eleven mentioned that Xue Pan, who had practiced arrows for several years, had eyes as bright as stars in the sky, and looked at Eleven more like a big dog begging for bones. "Any news?"

"The official document may not be announced to the world until Shengjia returns from outside the Great Wall." Eleven nodded, "I know Brother Xue's ambition, and I also know that Brother Xue will definitely be on the list if he goes here, but I don't know how serious Brother Xue is to his official career. What's the plan?"

"This." Xue Pan scratched his head, and smiled at Eleven Han, "I just want to become an official, and the others who haven't come are eager to think about it."

Just knew you were the answer.

It would be great if your sister could fool you so easily.

Seeing him like this, Xue Pan knew that he was planning something for him. Although he was a little impatient, he never urged him. He sat across from Eleven and cracked open the walnuts.

His sister told him to eat more walnuts if he had nothing to do.

After Xue Pan ate seven or eight walnuts and drank most of the pot of tea, Eleven said: "Brother Xue has a good mind, and he probably dislikes those intrigues and twists and turns. I think about Xue Pan. Brother Xue has just entered the official position, so it is inevitable that he will meet these people... Fortunately, my fifth brother has not only received an errand in the Lifan Academy, but is now also in charge of part of the military affairs of Zhenghongqi Camp. If Brother Xue is interested, I can help you with a word on Eleventh .After the martial arts test is over, Brother Xue can report directly to the Zhenghongqi camp."

This is a good thing, no matter how stupid he is, he knows that he can't refuse, so Xue Pan immediately stood up, straightened his clothes and bowed to Eleven.

Thank you, and ask Eleven to make it happen.

Eleven quickly helped Xue Pan up, and said a lot of heartfelt words, and then told Xue Pan not to talk to others for the time being, even his uncle Wang Ziteng, so as not to cause trouble.

Every sentence that Eleven said could tell a plausible truth, and it was like playing tricks on Xue Pan.

After this wave of throwing bricks and attracting jade was successfully thrown out, Eleven pretended to be casual, and talked about Zuo Xi in a hurry.

"...I remember the few times I had a family affair with Brother Xue, as if I heard that Sister Bao is going to enter the palace for a draft in the past two years?"

How did Xue Pan think that the person in front of him had set up such a trick to tell him to get involved, and when he heard Zuo Xi mentioned on Shishi, Xue Pan was ready to arrange a safe path for Zuo Xi because he had a promising future, so he didn't call She went to the palace to suffer.

Xue Pan didn't want to ask Zuo Xi to enter the palace, so he also expressed his thoughts at this time.However, how could it be possible for Xue Pan to play such an unreliable idea on Eleventh.

"It stands to reason that I shouldn't have said these things. It's just that I treat brother Xue as my own brother, and your sister is my sister. For the sake of brothers and sisters, I have to say something."

"I never treat you as an outsider, just say what you have to say. Even if it doesn't please you, I only take your heart."

Eleven took a sip of ginseng tea, moistened his throat, and said to Xue Pan solemnly, "Brother Xue's martial arts examination will be in October this year, but younger sister Bao will participate in the small election in February next year. Once Brother Xue becomes an official, he will definitely attract the attention of the world due to his talent. The talent show is my national policy in the Qing Dynasty. Every year, those who avoid the election, escape the election or pretend to be impersonated are not aware of their own. If brother Xue and the Xue family are not in the spotlight, maybe they can hide it for a while. At this time, the officialdom is ups and downs, but it is absolutely impossible to make such a plan. If it is exposed by impeachment, it will affect Xue Pan's future. , I'm afraid I won't be able to live again."

Xue Pan nodded, his sister did have high expectations for him.

Eleven starts with Xue Pan's official career, and then proceeds with Zuo Xi's marriage: "My mother and concubine can still say a few words in the palace, but sister Bao is good-looking. Well, if one is careless and gossip spreads, it may damage Sister Bao's reputation, affect future marriage negotiations, and ruin Sister Bao's lifelong events.

Another one, even if everything goes well, brother Xue should also plan for the long term.You have just entered an official position, so your official rank is definitely not high.Marriage in the world is all about matching families. With the current status of the Xue family, it is not easy to make a good marriage. "Not everyone can marry the prince as the daughter of a foreigner like his fifth sister-in-law.

"That's the truth." After listening to Eleven's analysis, Xue Pan slapped his thigh fiercely, urging Eleven to continue.

"The reason why Brother Xue and Auntie didn't want Sister Bao to enter the palace is because the palace is not as comfortable as at home, and it is difficult to live in peace as a slave and handmaid. What's more, once Sister Bao enters the palace, the family will be separated. Difficult to meet."

"That's right, that's the way it is. My younger sister is also a rich young lady who was raised at home with a lot of money and jade. The maids and women in the yard only serve her. We are afraid that she will be wronged, so we are willing to let her serve her." What about people? My sister is not one to hold back her anger, if she offends the master in the palace..."

"Brother Xue, don't worry, I have a perfect solution."

On Eleventh, Xue Pan waited until Xue Pan explained Zuo Xi's various petty tempers, petulance and petty habits, and then he unhurriedly brought out today's main topic.

"The risk of losing sister Bao is not small, and it is not easy to operate. But my mother and concubine happen to have the right to allocate sister Bao's whereabouts. You might as well ask my concubine to come forward and assign sister Bao to my palace. I have more than half a year I lived here in Zhuangzi during my time, if sister Bao came into my palace and became my palace envoy, she would follow me to live in Zhuangzi.

Brother Xue's Zhuangzi is at the foot of this mountain, whether you come to visit her or she goes home to visit you, it is very convenient.After two years, I will go out of the palace to open the mansion, and then I will put Sister Bao's name from the roster in the palace to the roster of my mansion. At that time, even if Brother Xue took Sister Bao home, no one else can control her.In this way, wouldn't everyone be happy. "Said each word slowly, and then waited for two breaths and eleven before asking Xue Pan, "If Brother Xue thinks it is feasible, I will go to ask my mother and concubine in person when I return to the palace at the end of the year.My concubine always loves me, so she must agree. "

It was about Zuo Xi, after Xue Pan listened carefully to the big arrangement for the eleventh day, he thought it over again in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was no better solution than this.Immediately got up and bowed to Eleven: "Great kindness and great virtue, I will never forget it, please accept Xue Pan's worship."
