Princess Fuyao

Chapter 31 Teaching Martial Arts
For some reason, it was Yinhu who brought another six or seven people and Fuyao's bodyguard. A few days ago, Fuyao ignored him until he was approaching Linquan.Fuyao had no choice but to improve his face.

She figured out a way to rescue the fourth sister, and needed someone to cooperate.But these people have to listen to Yinhu's orders.

"Didn't you say that you are from Linquan?"

"Ah."

"But why don't you speak with the accent here?"

"I grew up in the capital city. Later, my father was exiled to the army and went to Linquan. Now, except for the second and fourth sisters, everyone else has gone to Beijing."

"You took the initiative to take this trip just to see your sister?"

"Yes. My second sister became my uncle's daughter, and she's doing well. My fourth sister is a child bride. It's very hard. I want to take her away."

"Oh—" Yinhu was stunned, "Do you need my help?"

Fuyao rolled her eyes and turned her head to ignore him.

"Let me help you." Originally, the two were standing side by side, but at this moment, Yinhu ran in front of Fuyao, walked backwards, and said with a playful smile, "You will definitely marry me in the future, your sister is my aunt It is my bounden duty to save her."

Seeing Fuyao's uneasy expression, he smiled even more happily: "I know how you want to save people, give that family who bullied your sister a hard lesson, beat them all over the floor, and see if they dare to let her go?"

"Better not to be so rough?"

"Well, yes, there is a good way." Yinhu teased Fuyao, "I will steal your sister out at night." He said, making a gesture of turning his back on someone.

"I have a solution, as long as Master Hong helps."

"Why Master Hong?"

"I need someone to pretend to be a Taoist priest. Isn't Master Hong the best?"

Hong Chenming, about 40 years old, of medium height, with a Chinese character face, long eyebrows and big eyes, especially a good beard, he is a handsome bearded man, if he wears Taoist robes, he will definitely look like a fairy, the most bluffing.

Yinhu glared at Fuyao resentfully.

"Oh, by the way, you can pretend to be a devil."

"You want me to play the devil?" Yinhu was very angry.

"It's fine if you don't want to, I'll let Big Brother Hu pretend." Fuyao looked very disappointed.

"Then, I'll go, it's not true anyway." Yinhu said hastily.

If the robbers want to commit crimes, they will also look at the situation. If they bring bodyguards, they will not do it easily. Therefore, those officials, it is not safe to not hire bodyguards. Hiring bodyguards is a waste of money. After receiving the money, he stayed at the post station for one night, and he had to go back home the next day.

At night, An Village, fifteen miles away from Linquan County, was haunted by ghosts. On the second day, when the villagers were frightened and discussing, a middle-aged Taoist priest with a compass in his hand and a sword on his back was followed by a young Taoist priest with a burden on his back. hurried over.

Before entering the village, a villager who looked like old Rui stopped him.

"Master, what can I do for you?"

"Last night, I went down the mountain to catch a ghost and missed. I followed the trail today. Nuo, I have a dark energy, so I just wandered in front." The old Taoist pointed to the middle of the village.

Old Rui's face turned pale, and he hurriedly let the old man into the hall where the villagers discussed matters, and at the same time asked the young man beside him to invite Li Zheng.

On the way when Lizheng came, he already knew what was going on, and when he entered the living room, he was very enthusiastic towards the old Taoist.

"The poor Taoist came down from Zhongnan Mountain because the little apprentice went down the mountain to protect him. There is a rich family in Yuquan County. Mrs. Ru was haunted by evil spirits. He invited the young apprentice to perform the magic trick. Unexpectedly, the ghost was still a little bit wise and ran away. , I chased it all the way and saw it was in your village."

"Then ask the priest to cast a spell."

The Taoist priest nodded without saying a word, looked at the sky, walked along the alley in the village, and finally came to a gate with mottled paint: "The ghost should hide here."

Li Zheng hurriedly knocked on the door, explained clearly to the family, and then asked the Taoist priest to enter.

The old Taoist made a big circle around the room, took out a talisman drawn on yellow paper, and chanted it three times to the left and three times to the right in the yard. Finally, he suddenly shouted: "Here!" The ragged woman stabbed at him.

The woman was so frightened that she fell on her back, her eyes closed tightly, and she passed out. The apprentice behind the old Taoist lightly lifted the woman's clothes and put her on the futon in the middle of the yard. on the small bench.

The old Taoist went to the water basin beside the woman, took out his sword, took out a piece of white cloth, and washed the stained water, only to see bright red blood flowing down from the sword, and the peeping people around were terrified.

"Who is this family?" The old Taoist pointed to the woman.

"What's wrong?" The old man who was poking his head in the upper room asked in horror.

"She is a ghost body, and she is easy to provoke these dirty things. The ghost was injured and attached to her body. Even if I recite the curse of exorcising ghosts for 49 days to drive the ghost out and kill her, your family will also be angry because of this burst of evil spirits." If you are overweight, everyone will lose their life to some extent."

"Ah? This——, please, Master Dao, is there any other way?"

"Yes, it's quite troublesome. Let her follow my junior sister and learn Taoism for two years, so that her body will be filled with yang energy, and the ghost will not be able to hold her body, so she can run out by herself. You see, which one to choose?"

"If she goes to learn Taoism, will my family's life be shortened?"

"Of course not, but your family has to pay for some food and clothing? My junior sister taught her that it doesn't cost money, so you can't have to take care of the food, right?"

"Huh? How much does that cost?"

The old Taoist was a little unhappy, and frowned: "You don't know how much she eats in two years? Take five taels of silver, or else, my junior sister will not let her go, and let her work there to pay off the debt."

The Taoist directed his hands towards the lying woman. After half a quarter of an hour, the woman coughed and raised her head slowly, but her eyes were tightly closed.

"Master Dao, let her work there to repay the debt." A dark-faced woman in her forties ran out from the main room.

The Taoist priest was very angry, his beard was blowing up and down, and finally he said: "Please write me a letter, don't wait for my junior sister to cure him, and you run to make trouble again."

He turned his head and said to Lizheng, "Old good man, please help me to prove it."

"Should, should!" Lizheng was still in a daze at the basin of blood. Hearing this, he nodded and bowed. The old man walked forward, and the thin woman followed his little apprentice with lowered eyes. What was brought out was the marriage certificate: "Take it, my family doesn't want this daughter-in-law anymore."

The old Taoist looked at it, picked it up and gave it to his apprentice, and walked out of the village first.The apprentice stuffed the letter of divorce into his arms, followed the master closely with the woman, and headed southeast.

Three or four miles out of the village, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on the road. The apprentice picked up the thin woman on his back, let go of the old man, and walked along the official road with big strides. After five or six miles, he saw no one chasing after him. , she was relieved.

"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The thin woman finally couldn't help crying, "Are you really shaking? Come to rescue me from the sea of ​​suffering?"

"Fourth sister, don't cry. I'll wash my face to show you in the evening. I'm very similar to third sister. Do you remember?"

"Well, remember, you and Ming'er, and the third sister, I and the eldest sister, and the second sister." Yao Fang said with a sob.

Yinhu took his men and waited in the rain shelter in front of him. He also specially bought a small donkey for Yaofang. If he walked back all the way, Yaofang would not be able to keep up with the bodyguards if there was no transportation.

Fuyao gave everyone the wonderful performance of Master Hong vividly: "You don't know, Master Hong is really pretending. I watched from the side, and I suspected that there was really a ghost."

"It wasn't because I pretended to be like that that I bluffed the villagers." Yinhu argued unconvinced.

"Well, yes, yes, you are the one who deserves the most credit." Fuyao didn't expect Yinhu to be so thoughtful and even bought a donkey for his sister. Now he felt grateful and was very kind to him. Seeing that Fuyao was no longer angry with him, Yinhu , seemed particularly happy.

The journey was very smooth, and when they arrived in the capital, the willows were already pink and the willows were green. Yaofang refused to see Mrs. Lu. Finally, Fuyao introduced her to a big family's manor to farm.

Although Fuyao rescued the fourth sister, he didn't discover any of Yinhu's secrets, so there were gains and losses.Instead, General Guo asked someone to comfort her with words, don't be impatient, what should come, will always come.

Fuyao rested for a day, and then washed the veil and hung it on the window. When he got up the next morning, he saw a small note on the table, with a long spear drawn on it, and it said West Town God's Temple.

Surprised and delighted, Fuyao rushed there, the front of the Town God's Temple was empty, she was looking around when Liang Mingrui jumped down from the tree.

"Rehearse everything you've learned." He seemed anxious, not waiting for Fuyao to say anything else.

Fuyao is the most serious about practicing martial arts. Hearing this, he immediately stood up and compared what Guo Bin taught.

Liang Mingrui looked at it, and suddenly cooperated with Fuyao's movements, talking about his luck.Most of what Fuyao learned was correct, but there were three mistakes that Liang Mingrui helped correct.

"Do you refine Qi every day?"

"Ok!"

"Cross-legged meditation?"

"You can also lie down."

"Hehe, are you holding hands?"

"No. By the way, that's how that Yinhu practiced."

Liang Mingrui's brows moved slightly. Fuyao thought he would be surprised, but then he thought that the expression on his face when talking to others was just a smile, and only when he was with himself, would he move at will. This news is too important to him So much so that Liang Mingrui's true feelings were revealed, but his true emotions were hidden.

Fuyao felt that the people he knew were more mysterious than the last.Why is a young man from a pampered family so deep?
The Escort took another order and sent people to Bohai County. Shi Jiangchen, the right-hand supervisor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, was dismissed by the emperor. He had been in Beijing for a long time, but seeing no hope of recovery, he had to lead the whole family back to his hometown.

Jiang Chen is over 50 years old. His wife gave birth to four daughters, all of whom were married. The son was only fifteen, born to a concubine, and three daughters from concubines. Normally, there should not be many family members. Yinhu brought Fuyao Go, see a large group of colorful people, can not help but stunned.

Jiang Chen was nearly forty years old and had no children. In order to carry on the family line, he married four concubines, five wives, each with two to four people to serve, plus the son and daughter's wet nurse, maid, and kitchen, shopping, As well as the masters, accountants, and stewards of the outer courtyard, there are forty or fifty in total.

This is still simplified. How many people should there be in his family before?No wonder, he wants to be a corrupt official, otherwise, with that little salary, how can he support so many people?

It is said that Jiang Chen's people found five or six bodyguard agencies in the capital, but none of them were willing to accept the business, so they finally found Huwei Bodyguard Agency.When Yinhu took Fuyao and the others to the account room to collect the down payment, the housekeeper of the Jiang family said disdainfully, "What? Huwei Escort Bureau? It's not as famous as its name. Can it protect the safety of this big family?"

He suspected the person in charge, and took kickbacks from the escort agency. The Jiang family has too many things recently, and he is a bit out of control, and there are many people who fish in troubled waters.

"I can't protect you! Mr. Jiang is too famous, and there are too many people who care about him. Our escort agency is really not enough."

Unexpectedly, a boy from the bodyguard bureau dared to point out that Jiang Chen had made too many enemies. The butler of the Jiang family's eyes widened in anger, and Yinhu looked at him with disdain: "If it weren't for the fact that the steward in your mansion has something to do with our shopkeeper , we won’t accept this business either.”

The butler knew something about his master's shady affairs, and he was secretly worried when he heard the words. When he set off a few days later, he left his son's family behind. up.

Unexpectedly, this road was surprisingly quiet. One month later, they arrived at Jiangjiawan smoothly. Yinhu went to settle the remaining dart money. Of course, Jiang's accountant first reported to the master. Jiang Chen watched the 200 taels of white money go straight It hurts, it's really a Tiger's Mighty Escort, the mouth is bigger than a lion's mouth, but everyone in the capital knows that he offended Hao Zhiqian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials.The bodyguard bureaus in the capital still have a lot of officials. If Hao Zhiqian revealed a little bit of meaning and refused to allow officials to deal with a certain bodyguard bureau, that bodyguard bureau would be closed. Therefore, no one was willing to accept the Jiang family’s business, so the Huwei bodyguard bureau took the opportunity A sky-high price.

Jiang Chen was forced to leave the capital. He had no income, and his family spent more than 200 taels of silver a month. The longer the delay, the more troublesome it was. In the end, he had to agree to Yinhu. Now that he arrived safely, he regretted it. , a little want to renege on it.

Yinhu waited in the tent for a long time but still didn't see anyone, so he came to Jiang's kitchen confidently, saw the maid carrying a plate of meat soup, custard, rice, and stir-fried vegetables, and knew that it was for Jiang Chen's precious son. He brought it over bluntly: "Your master hastened to pay the bill, I'm starving to death, let me eat first, and when he pays the money, deduct the money."

The servant girl was startled and angry, but she didn't dare to say anything, and ran to the inner courtyard to report tremblingly.

Jiang Chen came out angrily, and saw Yinhu sitting on the stone steps at the entrance of the hall, eating a mouthful.With a serene demeanor and elegant demeanor, he looked like a son of an aristocrat who was attending a banquet.

"Master Jiang, you haven't paid the bill. I can't live here any longer. This is a temporary loan from your house. You ask the housekeeper to arrange accommodation for us in the guest room. All expenses can be deducted when you pay the bill." Silver When Hu speaks, his attitude is respectful and humble, but his tone is very firm, and there is no room for negotiation.

Fuyao admired his calmness, but he didn't expect Yinhu to have this side, Fuyao thought that he would grab Jiang Chen and threaten his life.

Jiang Chen felt that he was being bullied by a dog in Pingyang, so he said to Yinhu with a black face and coldly: "Your Excellency, don't you think that you can earn more than 200 taels for such an easy journey, and you can't handle it?"

"There's nothing you can't hold back. The road is peaceful and peaceful. That's why the thieves are afraid of our bodyguard. Let me tell you, Mr. Jiang, after we leave, you'd better hire some capable nursing family members, otherwise, you'll lose everything." Not silver, but brains."

"You dare to threaten me?"

"It's not me threatening, don't you know who you offended?"

"Hmph, take the money and get out! Even if I offend him, I'm still a gentleman, and I will never do such lowly things."

Yinhu slowly opened the box brought by the tent, saw that it was full of broken silver, and pushed it away politely: "It is agreed to pay the bill with official silver, take it back!"

Seeing the gaze under Yinhu's mask, the accountant stared at him like an arrow, and couldn't help shivering, obediently picked up the silver box.

"Mr. Jiang, if you don't want to join us for a while, let the butler arrange a guest room for us." After finishing eating, Yinhu took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth gracefully, "I still have a dozen brothers who haven't eaten, presumably I’m also hungry, and you can help out in the kitchen and prepare meals for them.”

Jiang Chen was even more angry when he heard the change in Yinhu's title. He stretched out his hand and pointed viciously: "Aren't you afraid of the government?"

"It's not that I refuse to pay back the debt!"

Jiang Chen still had a glimmer of hope in his heart for a comeback. He knew that if he went to court, his reputation would be smeared even more. Now that he couldn't be beaten or scolded, he was so angry that he vomited blood on the spot, so he had to wave his hand and ask the accountant to give him a hand. Yinhu prepares to get a good official banker and sends him away.

After getting the reward, Yinhu took everyone away and walked along the official road to a nearby town. A group of people had dinner and continued on their way. They wanted to go to the county town to stay at night.

The servants of the Jiang family left the environment of the capital, and they were no longer afraid of the consequences of spreading gossip. Anyway, Jiangjiawan, which is only five miles in size, belongs to the family.Those who had been forced to lock their mouths now opened their mouths, talking happily about the family's shortcomings.In order to curry favor with their master, they smeared Yinhu a lot. Suddenly, the heroic and handsome man became a demon who frightened children at night: black face, red hair, eyes like torches, one look could kill someone .

No matter how the Jiang family slandered him, Yinhu's fortune was exceptionally good. He stayed in the county for one night, and a business came to him the next day.

The inn they stayed in belonged to a rich man surnamed Zhao in the county.His son went to Beijing to do business, gained a firm foothold, and wrote a letter to send his family members there.Perhaps it was because he thought that foreign monks could recite scriptures, or that officials as big as the Jiang family were sent by the Huwei Escort Bureau. The steward of the Zhao family was waiting at the counter of the inn early in the morning. said.

Anyway, I have to go back to the capital. If I can have a business, someone will take care of food and lodging along the way. It doesn't matter if I earn less money, Yinhu readily agreed.

Zhao's family just went to pack up their preparations and asked the escorts to wait in the store for three or four days. Anyway, they don't need to spend their own money. Everyone should be resting. There is a escort named Chen Dong. The Temple of the Medicine King is particularly effective.As a bodyguard, he came and went in the wind and rain, and he got sick the most. He asked Yinhu to take everyone to pray in the temple together. Yinhu had something on his mind, so he gave them a bunch of copper coins and let them go by themselves. Help with reconciliation.

After that night, Fuyao ignored Yinhu and went out, what account should he have?Fuyao knew that he was uneasy and well-intentioned, but he didn't want to shame him openly in front of so many people.

Isn't that trying to cover up?Everyone in the Escort wants to know what they don't know.

Sure enough, during lunch, Yinhu knocked on Fuyao's door with a tray.

"It's just the two of us, I ordered a few dishes carefully." Accustomed to seeing him wearing a mask, Fuyao could actually tell that he was smiling.

"Look, fried quail, haven't you ever eaten it? Birds in the sky are not as fragrant as quail, and animals on the ground are not as fragrant as dog meat. This is a famous food." Yinhu babbled, and put the square plate in the room. On the Eight Immortals table in the middle, he patted the stool and motioned Fuyao to sit down.

In her previous life, Fuyao loved to eat fried food the most, but unfortunately her skin was extremely sensitive, and after each time, a few small pimples appeared to protest. In this life, there is no pollution in nature, and few people get pimples. Even if Fuyao eats deep-fried dough sticks every morning, there is no problem.Although this is just her beautiful imagination, drinking soy milk and eating fried dough sticks every morning is the life of the rich, and she doesn't have that condition.

Anyway, fried food can be eaten freely.

Seeing Fuyao happily pinching the quail wings, nibbling them in small bites, with his eyes bent and a satisfied expression, Yinhu was in a good mood: "There is a donkey meat restaurant on the other side of the street, let's go to eat in the evening Come on. Dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground, those are delicious too."

"Just now you said that dog meat is delicious, but now you're praising donkey meat. Which one is better?"

"They're all delicious! There's no dog meat here, next time we meet, I'll buy it for you."

He is really a bit like a senior who chased her in the previous life, he only wanted to treat her to dinner all day long, and he didn't have much money, so he searched everywhere in Beijing's small alleys.Some people from other places rent a small shop in a residential area, or directly set up a street stall. Tofu nao, Liangpi, Dandan noodles, Qingbu herbal tea, stinky tofu, etc. are not expensive, and the taste is really good.

Thinking of the carefree and green years, Fuyao had a smile on his face, Yinhu thought it was the result of his gallantry, and he was so happy that he took the last quail on the plate to Fuyao.
