A hundred flavors of life

In the Lin family, Aunt Zhang is teaching the girls the rules, teaching Lin Daiyu how to speak, walk, etiquette, food and other etiquette. She also teaches several maids and a mother-in-law in the family how to serve the master and how to deal with the etiquette of various occasions. .

Lin Daiyu was bored, while Zhang Zhenniang, who was taking classes with her, was studying seriously.

Seeing that Lin Daiyu didn't like to learn the rules, Grandma Zhang advised:

"The purpose of imparting martial arts skills to the young lady is to strengthen her body. After all, the young lady is a descendant of a noble family. She will be married to a decent family in the future. You must learn these rules. Don't wait until the time comes to ask her husband's family to pick a fight and lose the dignity of her mother's family. !”

Lin Daiyu nodded repeatedly: "Okay, mama, I understand. Are you finished with today's class? I still have a few more knife practices to do!"

Grandma Zhang was speechless for a moment: "Go, go, let the girls go and do their work. You can't start practicing martial arts in the middle of the conversation tomorrow!"

Jin'er, Xueyan and Zicuckoo all smiled and went to work.

Zhang Zhenniang smiled at Aunt Zhang and said, "It's all his brother's fault. He has led this lady of the world astray. Look, now, she is obsessed with martial arts all day long. She doesn't like female celebrities and likes swords and guns. As a sister-in-law, I have a headache. In the future, I will become an official." How can one explain to his uncle?"

Lin Daiyu giggled and said: "Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm obsessed with martial arts, it's just that practicing martial arts is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you don't practice for a day, you will be empty."

After talking for a while, Jin'er, who had just gone out not long ago, came in and said to Zhang Zhenniang:

"Grandma, two monks came outside and said they were destined to our young lady and wanted to meet them!"

Lin Daiyu asked curiously: "Are you looking for me?"

Zhang Zhenniang frowned slightly: "What kind of monk is this?"

Jin'er said: "It's a monk!"

Zhang Zhenniang flatly refused and said: "The family is full of women, so how can we see the foreign men? Go tell them to leave quickly. If you want to beg for alms, just give them the steamed cakes in the morning and send them away!"

As soon as she finished saying this, before Jin'er responded, she heard someone singing outside:

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but they can never forget their fame. Where are the generals of ancient and modern times? A pile of grass has disappeared in the barren tomb."

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but gold and silver can never be forgotten. In the end, I will only regret that there is not enough to gather, and when the time comes, my eyes will close."

"Everyone in the world knows that gods and immortals are good, but only my beautiful wife can't forget it. I expressed my kindness to you on your birthday, but you will go with others after your death."

"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but only their children and grandchildren will never forget them. There have been many infatuated parents throughout the ages, but who has ever seen filial children and grandchildren?"

These few lines sounded strange, as if they were lingering in everyone's ears.

Then there was another voice, reciting a Buddha's name, and the voice was also in front of me.

Zhang Zhenniang was a devout believer in immortals and Buddhas. She met Gao Yanei when she went to pay incense in the temple. At this time, she saw something strange about the two monks outside, so she was a little tempted and said:

"I'm afraid this person is a virtuous person. Why don't we go to the door and have a look together? Don't miss my sister's destiny!"

Lin Daiyu remembered that her parents told her that a monk wanted to turn her into a monk. She mentioned it when she met Jia Mu before. Now that a monk has come to her, she was also quite curious. After hearing what her sister-in-law said, she said:

"Listen to my sister-in-law. Besides, even if they are bad guys, with our abilities, we are not afraid of them!"

After speaking, he took the Yang family's sword in his hand, obviously planning to bring the self-defense weapon to meet guests outside.

The two girls made up their minds and took the three girls, Jin'er, Xueyan, and Zicuckoo, five of them, with a large number of people, to the front yard and opened the corner door.

As expected, I saw a monk standing in front of the door. The monk was a leprous man. He was wearing a shabby monk's robe, and he was still in single clothes. He stepped on the ground with his bare feet in the cold weather, and it didn't feel too cold, but his face was bright red. , His body is still steaming, he must be a capable person.

Looking at the Taoist priest again, he was wearing hemp clothes and a loose bun, as if he hadn't taken care of it for a long time. He looked crazy and carefree, but his eyes were sparkling and extremely energetic.

Although the monk's clothes were shabby, he still looked like a worldly master playing in the world.

Zhang Zhenniang did not dare to be disrespectful and said: "Two masters are polite. I am the mistress of this family. Where do you two become monks? What are your dharma titles and why do you want to see my sister?"

The scabby monk clasped his hands together and said, "It turns out she is the general's wife. You are so polite here, monk!" He must have known Lin Chong's name, so he called her that.

Zhang Zhenniang quickly returned the gift, but the monk did not answer the previous question. Instead, he glanced at the girls. When he saw Lin Daiyu next to Zhenniang, he saw a heroic face and a sword in his hand, and he already had a guess about his identity. , this is a bodyguard.

He immediately turned around and smiled at Xue Yan on the other side: "Girl Lin, this poor monk is destined to be with you!"

When you say this sentence, several women have questions on their foreheads. Is this what you call destiny? Did you know that you got the wrong person?

Zhang Zhenniang smiled slightly: "Go back!"

The women hurriedly walked back, looking wary as they walked, staring at the monk with the eyes of a liar or a bad guy.

The leper-headed monk immediately became anxious: "Girl Lin, why did you leave before you finished speaking? The poor monk said that there is a reason for your fate. When you were three years old, the poor monk wanted to turn you into a monk."

Zhang Zhenniang was so helpless: "Master, stop talking, there is still fate, you have recognized the wrong person!"

She took Lin Daiyu's arm: "This is my sister. You said that is her personal maid. You should leave quickly. If you don't leave, I will call someone to report her!"

The leper-headed monk looked embarrassed: "Female Bodhisattvas, this is a misunderstanding!"

Zhang Zhenniang ignored her and pulled Lin Daiyu, moving her feet faster.

Just as they were about to enter the corner door, there was no need to think about it. There would be a clang and the door would be closed.

At this time, the Taoist priest who had been silent suddenly moved and took a step forward. He stepped forward with his front foot and dragged his back foot. He was lame. However, although his foot was lame, this step directly crossed the distance of two feet and reached several women. forward.

At this time, Lin Daiyu turned around and looked at the monk warily. The Taoist priest stretched out two fingers and pointed at the center of her eyebrows, saying:

"The moon in the water, the flowers in the mirror, the fairy flowers written on the three-life stone, idiot, don't wake up yet"

This move was urgent and fast. Although Lin Daiyu practiced martial arts but had no actual combat experience, she did not react for a while. But just when the Taoist priest's finger hit her eyebrows, the Yang family sword in her hand suddenly let out a cry. Automatically unsheathing is more than half a foot long.

A cold light shone on the Taoist priest's eyes, making him squint and pause his hands slightly.

Lin Daiyu also came to her senses at this time. Thinking of the stories Hua Twelve told them when she usually coaxed them, she immediately understood what was going on:

"The sword warns, these two are not good people!"

Throwing away Zhang Zhenniang's arm, Lin Daiyu had already unsheathed her sword.

At this time, the Taoist priest's finger was only half a foot away from her eyebrows. Even if she used the sword to slash the opponent's arm, she would not be able to do it in time. However, at the moment when she drew the sword, Lin Daiyu remembered Hua Twelve's words, "If you attack the enemy, you must save it," and she started to use the breaking sword technique. , and slashed towards the Taoist priest's chest with a sharp knife.

Under such circumstances, if the Taoist priest still insisted on tapping Lin Daiyu's eyebrows, he would definitely be struck by the blade.

Sure enough, the Taoist priest also understood the situation and backed away. At this time, Zhang Zhenniang shouted: "Here comes someone, there is a child kidnapper!"

As she yelled, she pulled the girls back and ran back, entering the corner gate in two steps. At this time, there were many people running towards this side of the street, shouting loudly:

"Where is the kidnapper?" Zhang Zhenniang pointed at the confused monk inside the corner door and said:

"It's the two of them who want to kidnap my girl!"

No matter which dynasty or generation, the most hated profession is child trafficking. As soon as Zhang Zhenniang said these words, the crowd became angry and shouted:

"Kill them!"

The leper-headed monk quickly explained: “Don’t get me wrong, we are monks!”

"It turned out that he was pretending to be a family member and abducting his children, so he was so sinister and vicious."

The big brother who shouted was the man who was shoveling frozen horse manure on the street just now. At this moment, he was hugged by the manure shovel.

Seeing that there was nothing they could do, the leper-headed monk and the lame Taoist ran away with their heads in their hands. They squeezed through the crowd and disappeared. When they ran out of two streets and turned into an alley, the two brothers looked at each other and were both dumbfounded.

I saw that the monk's robes were scratched and the lame Taoist had many footprints on his body.

The Taoist priest complained: "It's all your fault, Monk Mangmang. You said you can admit your mistakes even if you recognize anyone, you treat a maid as a lady, and you also say we are destined to be together. As an old Taoist, I want to laugh. Can people not think that we are liars?"

The monk smiled bitterly and said: "Lin Daiyu is not born with a talent for a knife. She brought a knife, and the poor monk thought she was a bodyguard!"

The Taoist priest sighed and said: "This is terrible. I don't know how to explain to that vigilant witch!"

The monk suggested: "How about you use the ecstasy method at night to get Lin Daiyu out and let her and Mr. Xianyu achieve good things?"

The Taoist priest glanced at the monk:

"Didn't you see the sword in Lin Daiyu's hand? It can warn the protector. It has spirituality. When she drew the sword, the evil spirit hit her face. I don't know how many people have been killed by that sword. What kind of ecstasy is there with that sword? It’s hard to do anything, and if Lin Chong is at home tonight, if he really wants to confront us, I’m afraid you and I won’t be able to take advantage!”

The two of them lamented and sighed for a while, feeling unwilling to do so, but saying nothing in vain.

Hua Twelve was waiting to get off work so that he could have a drink with his colleagues when his subordinate Long Jinwei came to report that someone was looking for him at home.

When he came out of the palace gate, he saw Jin'er waiting outside. However, after Zhang Zhenniang returned, she became more and more frightened as she thought about it, so she asked Jin'er to come out from the back door to find Hua Twelve for an idea.

Jin'er met her uncle and quickly told him what happened at home today. Hua Twelve immediately became angry and had no intention of drinking. He said hello and skipped work early and took Jin'er home.

When he got home, he took a look, comforted Zhang Zhenniang and Lin Daiyu, and told them not to open the door when anyone came home, and then went out to the Palace Commander's Mansion.

Hua Twelve originally planned to ask Gao Qiu for hundreds of forbidden troops to scrape out that monk together, but then he thought about it and realized it was not possible. Those two were obviously masters, or they had special skills. This was such a big show. Looking for it would not only be impossible for the imperial court to explain, but would also be completely useless.

Thinking about it, relying on his own ability, this matter would fall on him. As long as he wanted to hide, how many people would have to be sent in the huge Bianliang City to find him? I'm afraid it would take tens of thousands of people to search all over the place.

Hua Twelve thought that this matter had to be done secretly.

When they arrived at the Palace Commander's Mansion, they took Gao Qiu to the study to talk. After entering the study, Gao Taiwei complained: "You are more familiar with this study than me. What have you done to my ancestors?"

Hua Twelve chuckled softly: "Who told me that there are two worshipers in the Palace Commander's Mansion? Isn't it safe to talk here? How can I still go to your back house to talk to you!"

Gao Qiu rolled his eyes: "It's not like you've never done it before!"

Only then did Hua Twelve remember that he had trapped Gao Qiu in bed last time, and he smiled coquettishly:

"Okay, help me take care of this today. How about I heal your waist right away and let you have a big fat boy?"

Gao Qiu curled his lips and said, "That's what you said last time. Forget it, whatever the matter is, you just have to say it!"

Hua Twelve told what happened today, and then said his plan:

"I'm thinking that if we want to find these two people, we have to do it quietly. You used to be a street person, and then you became an official. Do you know the leader of the Beggar Gang?"

There was a beggar gang in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was not the beggar gang of Hong Qigong, but a small group of beggars, divided into civil and military groups.

Wen refers to snake, dog, and monkey tricks, which were later also called busking, while martial arts refers to the activities of forcibly asking for money, such as holding a knife or naked and forcibly breaking into people's homes to ask for money. The money ranged from beating and scolding to violence, and some were even more cruel. They bought a child from Ren Yazi, harvested and cut it, and asked the child to ask for money. This was simply unconscionable.

Hua Twelve asked these people.

Gao Qiu nodded and said: "I do know one, Mr. Jin from North Street. He is in charge of all the civil and military beggars in Bianliang City!"

"Then you find him, and I'll tell him to do something!"

Hua Twelve was not polite and asked Gao Qiu to find someone.

Gao Qiu naturally did not dare to disobey him, so he called for help and went to North Street to summon someone.

Boss Jin was the leader of the Bianliang Beggar Clan, and he was also a street tyrant. But when he entered the Taiwei Mansion, he didn't even dare to straighten his waist. He knelt down directly after entering the study:

"My dear fellow, give your regards to the Captain!"

Gao Qiu even laughed: "Okay, it's not the first day we've met, so get up!"

When Boss Jin got up, he dared to look up and saw a handsome and heroic young man sitting next to Gao Qiu.

Gao Qiu pointed at Hua Twelve and said to Jin Laodaodao: "The person who called you is not me, but this Lord Lin, whom everyone calls 'The Divine General of the Song Dynasty'!"

Boss Jin quickly bowed and said, "It turns out to be the famous Coach Lin. If anything happens, just give me your orders!"

Ever since Hua Twelve was promoted to the third rank of Dragon Guard and was given the title of 'Divine General' by Zhao Ji, fewer and fewer people dared to call him Leopard Head.

Hua Twelve nodded: "You have a wide range of beggars, help me find two people, a monk with a scabby head and bare feet, and a lame Taoist priest with an unkempt appearance. Pass the word on to your disciples and grandchildren. If you find these two people, I will give them to you." A reward of one hundred taels of silver!"

After he finished speaking, he specifically asked: "Don't be greedy for this money. Let your disciples and disciples do their best. When things are done, I will give you something else!"

Boss Jin was summoned to the Palace Commander's Mansion, and he felt very nervous. Even though he had some friendship with Gao Qiu in the past, no matter what his status was now, to put it bluntly, he could be killed with just one word.

So since he entered the handsome manor, he felt like he was carrying fifteen buckets of water, and he was restless. Now when he heard that he was just looking for someone, he immediately felt relieved, patted his chest and said:

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin, you don't have to pay, I promise to handle it properly for you!"

Hua Twelve waved his hand:

"You don't need to say much about this matter. Only with the reward can you be more motivated. But you have to explain it. Those two are masters. Don't show fear when your disciples and grandsons see it. If they notice the news, , ran away early, you have to bear this matter!"

After he finished speaking, he slapped his hand casually, and with a bang, a coffee table in the study room exploded into pieces, turning into pieces of wood!

The muscles on Gao Qiu's face twitched, red sandalwood dripped from his forehead, and his heart hurt.

Boss Jin turned pale with fright, repeatedly promised that it would be done, and hurried away immediately.

The Beggar Clan has a lot of eyes and is good at finding people. In the evening of that day, Boss Jin personally came to the door and told Hua that the Twelve people had been found, right at the Tiequan Temple in the east of the city!

The so-called revenge did not last overnight, so he sent away Boss Jin. Hua Twelve invited his father-in-law Zhang Jiaotou to help guard the house. Then he found Lu Zhishen and Yang Zhi. The three of them wore official clothes, took weapons, and went straight to Tiexuan Temple.

Thanks to: 08a, Brother Xiao Xiaohu in the Demon World for the reward, and thanks to the brothers who voted for monthly votes and recommendation votes, thank you very much.
