[Red Chamber] Jagged Lin Daiyu

Chapter 107

At noon, another solemn and grand sacrificial ceremony will be held. Even so, the emperor has to work at his desk.

A person came in quietly.A red carved box with a hundred birds facing the phoenix was placed in front of the emperor.

Zhuo Donglai's face was unprecedentedly gentle, and even his steps were light: "Happy candy."

The emperor was flipping through the memorial, anxious to kill someone, so he looked up at him: "Huh? What?"

Zhuo Donglai said: "We should give out wedding candy when we get married, this is wedding candy."

The emperor was stunned holding up his pen: "You, you, haven't you been with her for a long time?" I called Mrs. Sister-in-law a few times, and the child will be born in a few months. You are now endless What do you do with reissued wedding candy?

"It's an affair without a matchmaker, and it's not far from elopement. Last night, I just made up the marriage letter from ten years ago, and drank another cup of wine."

The emperor was speechless for a while, opened the lid of the box and took a piece of crisp candy to eat: "Congratulations, you are finally married at this age. Mrs. sister-in-law is pregnant again, alas, you have finally settled one of your worries."

Zhuo Donglai smiled and nodded: "It's easy to get a daughter, but hard to find a confidant. I have a wise king, a confidant, and a good wife... a confidant and a beautiful woman, I am very fortunate in my life." I can't even say that Ze Lan is a good wife. A good wife, but she has nothing to do with the word virtuous.

The emperor was unhappy at first, but now he thumped the table and laughed happily: "Hahaha, you dare to say it, but don't change your mouth."

Zhuo Dong looked away, and was laughed at silently for a while.

The emperor laughed enough, felt refreshed again, and felt much more comfortable in his heart. He leaned on the table with his chin in his hands: "Donglai~ I know who your good wife is, but who is Mingjun?" It's me It's me! It's me! ~

Zhuo Donglai smiled and said, "It's you."

"Hmm~ so who is the bosom friend?"

"There is no one else but you."

The emperor covered his heart tenderly: "Donglai, if you are a woman, I will definitely make you a noble concubine."

Zhuo Donglai guessed that Zelan would not follow secretly, and replied: "Erlang, if you are a woman, why should I wait for Zelan?"

Lie to you, I still like that stupid black fat guy who is good at showing off cuteness, you are too thoughtful, and you are more pretentious than me, so I dare not want it.

The emperor laughed: "Since that's the case, it's better to marry with your fingertips, and make an appointment with your children and in-laws. What do you think?"

Zhuo Donglai frowned slightly: "I'm afraid that the children brought up by Ze Lan will be hard to escape from recklessness, and the princess and prince of the royal family may be difficult to match. Erlang, according to my opinion, don't marry with your fingertips. If the children are willing, then get engaged. There will be another love in the future..."

The emperor touched his chin: "I like you so much, my son should like your daughter.

He imagined that the next queen would have Donglai's fair complexion and Fourth Sister Wen's temper of drawing a knife at the slightest disagreement. The first daughter-in-law is not like her father, but her mother, hiss...forget it!

Zhuo Donglai thought about it seriously, and imagined that the emperor and empress gave birth to a charming little princess, who looks sunny/virtuous like her parents, but is actually resourceful and good at killing people with a knife (both emperors and empresses have such attributes), very cute.

I heard that my son is like my mother, hey, that's not bad.Forget it, you can't speak nonsense, what if it's Princess Gaoyang? "It's too early to say these things. Let's see the fate after birth. If you are as loving as the eldest princess and Yao Shenxian, why not."

As expected, the emperor's attention was drawn away, with a sad face on his face: "Although these young couples love each other, their fates are really ill-fated. Do you know what happened in the morning?" He told everything that happened in a spirited manner. again. +

Zhuo Donglai was slightly puzzled, but he wanted to put the doubt aside: "These things about fighting magic between immortals and demons are too mysterious, and I don't understand them. But I have already found out the source of those rumors."

He took out three pieces of paper from his sleeve: "This man, the Zhang family, runs a big car shop (motel), and his uncle is the servant of the king of Dongping County. Pu Jiu, the big shopkeeper of the hotel, the king of Beijing Jing Butlers often go to his house for dinner, but this is not enough evidence, the housekeepers of all adults like to go to his house for dinner. Kong Lao Liu, a famous gangster in Nancheng."

The emperor interrupted him: "These people are all inextricably linked to the kings, and there is no real evidence, right?"

"Yes."

"It doesn't matter, you don't need to check." The emperor nodded: "Yao Sanlang taught me a word 'Free Mind Evidence'."

Zhuo Donglai was not surprised at all. Three of the four kings had been blacklisted by the emperor. No matter what happened in the future, they were doomed, unless they changed their minds and became courtiers seriously to please the emperor.

But how is that possible. "The minister is incompetent."

The emperor waved his hand: "It's just that I don't want to scare the snake, and I can't get their housekeeper to torture and extract a confession. How else can I make things difficult for you? This is not easy, I know." He paused, and ate another piece of candy impatiently. : "What about their family?"

Zhuo Donglai silently took out a thin account book from his pocket and presented it.

The emperor rolled his eyes and sneered, his eyes full of anger: "The family members of several concubines wantonly built family-friendly villas, spending money like running water, and the cost reported to me is only one-tenth of the cost. Alright, Zitong proposes to let go. They visit their relatives out of pity, unexpectedly these concubines,,, are so double-faced and deceived me!"

On the one hand, they pretended to follow the Queen's advice and practice strict frugality. The concubines' natal families also pretended that they didn't spend too much money on the construction of family-friendly villas. In fact, they all lied to me!Hateful!

I haven't made a new dress for three years, and I mainly eat frugally and plainly. I don't eat those rare delicacies from mountains and seas. They don't know how to restrain themselves!

It is implied in the book that this is where the queen's resourcefulness lies.As mentioned in the previous article, the queen knew that she was pregnant, and worried that the concubines would take the opportunity to invite favors, so she deliberately proposed to let the concubines go to visit relatives.She knew that luxury was becoming more and more popular in the capital, and the family who built the family-sacrificing villa must be deeply honored and extravagant and extravagant.She also knew that the emperor had become more and more frugal in the past few years. He didn't make new clothes when he still had clothes to wear. He was satisfied with three or five dishes for each meal. Knowing that the concubines' families were extravagant and wasteful, they would definitely blame the concubines.

The queen also knew that the emperor was very suspicious and would not trust his courtiers easily, and would definitely send someone to investigate secretly.If the results of the investigation were slightly different from the facts, and he found out that he had been cheated, he would be furious. Seeing all the concubines and concubines, he would turn over old scores and get angry in his heart.Now it really is all expected.

Zhuo Donglai refused to persuade him at all, pretending not to hear, and took out another piece of paper: "For the past few years, I have been sending people to re-investigate my father-in-law's case, and this list includes all those involved who have returned home. official.

Your Majesty, please interrogate some of them. I want to send someone to ask them carefully. "

The emperor understood what he meant by 'asking' and hesitated for a moment: "It's okay to ask two or three people. If you ask too many people, I'm afraid it will make people suspicious. After all, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs is investigating at this time. It is better than those who pay attention to the locust plague in Jin."

After another conversation, Zhuo Donglai was a little embarrassed: "Zelan has several apprentices, two of them have close contacts with Qin Yushi, the former Qin Yushi, and the current Qin Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment. They are both old, I haven't married because my martial arts are so good, I think..."

The emperor asked: "What are you telling me about these things? A-Jiang is not young anymore, he should have gotten married long ago."

"I'm afraid some people will say that I marry the beauties in my family with the important ministers. It will be suspicious after hearing that."

"Hahahahaha what kind of important minister is Ajaan? In his life, he is at most the censor Zhongcheng, and he has only stayed in the Ministry of punishment for a short time." The emperor said with great interest: "Ajaan complained to me, saying that he read some files in the Ministry of punishment, and even at night I had three nightmares, and I asked the imperial hospital for calming soup. If Mrs. Zhuo's apprentice is good at martial arts, and marry Ajiang Zhenzhai, that would be very good."

Only Daiyu is good-looking among her apprentices, the rest should look similar to her, Ajaan can do it if he wants.

Zhuo Donglai nodded secretly, Murong Mudan went far away in Sichuan, only Xiang Baozi was left in Beijing, and now he eats less, boxing, martial arts, jogging and light kung fu every day, his body looks thin but his face has lost a lot of weight, a triple chin There are only two floors left, and it should work.

After saying a few more gossips, he left to deliver wedding candies to the other two.

He saw no cobwebs outside the house, which had been cleaned up.

Daiyu and Yao Sanlang were sitting opposite each other reading, and stood up to take the wedding candy. Although she looked sad, she was still calm and restrained. She smiled for the meaning of this wedding candy, her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and her tone was soft and waxy: " Thank you Master."

Yao Sanlang really wanted to hum him, but he didn't figure out the identity of the spider, so he was not qualified to hum.

Hey, it's all my fault that I felt irritable when I didn't learn much when I went back to the mountains to make up lessons. I skipped class and went out to play. If I had known these things earlier, I would have studied hard.It's too late to regret!I regret it!

Zhuo Donglai felt his eyes roll, turned around and asked with a smile, "Shenxian Yao."

Yao Sanlang said listlessly: "Mr. Zhuo."

"I heard that the doors and windows were sealed at night. From my point of view, the spider that was nailed to death by the eldest princess that day was easily available in the north and south of the river, and it is no different. The new spider who came to seek revenge may have other reasons, perhaps the police Phantom's party. What do you think?"

Yao Sanlang nodded weakly, nodded, and finally raised his head when he heard it: "That's right!"

He took out a letter: "A letter from Zelan to you."

Daiyu took the letter and was not in a hurry to read it, a bit of embarrassment appeared on her face: "Master, Daiyu has something to ask."

Zhuo Donglai's heart trembled at her tender and affectionate bright eyes and her cute figure like a Wan-like flower, and he said that with Ze Lan and I's aptitude, it is impossible to give birth to such a beautiful and intelligent child. It is impossible to teach the habit of demure and refined manners, and manners like a family.He sat down and observed her patiently: "Say what you want."

Daiyu also sat down, just sitting down so casually, her figure is also picturesque.His face was a little red, and his voice was as soft as a whisper: "I have already paid homage to Yao Sanlang's master. His old man intends to accept me as a disciple, and I am also moved by it. I am very lucky to be able to worship him. Shu Xiu I’m ready too, but I’m afraid that my master will feel sad when he finds out.”

Zhuo Donglai smiled and said: "People go to high places, but water flows to low places. How can Ze Lan be such a narrow-minded person who hinders her apprentice's progress. She really likes you. The better you are and the more capable you are, the happier she will be for you. Since the eldest princess wants to join another famous teacher, the current master can no longer recognize her."

Daiyu was in a hurry: "How can there be such a reason? Since she is my master, she will be my master all her life. She couldn't be closer, so it's hard not to recognize her."

"Listen to me." Zhuo Donglai glanced at Yao Sanlang happily, and said softly, "You will be a teacher for a day and a father for life. If Ze Lan can't take the title of master and delay your future, you can recognize her as a teacher." Stepmother, just as close."

"Oh...um..." Daiyu hesitated and glanced at Yao Sanlang.

Yao Sanlang nodded: "Very good." It is indeed disrespectful to compare a mortal with my master.

Zhuo Donglai secretly laughed in his heart: Silly roe deer.

Then got up and left.

Daiyu was still hesitating, glanced at Yao Sanlang, felt that asking him was useless, if it was safe and reliable... either go home and ask my father, or ask the emperor, or go to Longevity Mountain and ask senior brother Chi Xiu.

I opened the envelope to read the letter, and I was stunned at the first glance. The letter said: write a "wisdom" on the left hand, and a "courage" on the right hand, which is the two fists of wisdom and courage.

"Brother Sanlang, come and see, what does this mean?"

Yao Sanlang looked at it for a while: "This is either a joke or a riddle."

"What do you say?" Daiyu snorted, and silently researched, scrutinized, and pondered. After pondering for a while, she thought it might be a joke, but it wasn't funny at all. Master is a person who is very good at telling stories and jokes. What about dull jokes?

Put the letter away, continue to read the book, turned a few pages, and started to shoot.Gritting his teeth, he grabbed Yao Sanlang's sleeve, and called his name solemnly: "Yunqi, you were naughty and made many enemies. Could this spider be your enemy?" Think about your brother Chi Xiu, Senior Brother Bilu, Senior Brother Wutan, Senior Brother Zishu and your relationship with Uncle He!

Yao Yunqi is serious: "Sister, although I am good at killing, I am not stupid. I only provoke people who will not kill me. What's more, if it is my enemy, why did you attack you? In my opinion, it is more suspicious to be a policeman. , bring her out for trial."

Daiyu shook her head slightly: "No need. Brother Sanlang, I plan to visit your temple in two days."

She rubbed her face with her hand, a little confused: "The Great Immortal Zhenyuan said that day that I could subdue Jing Huan, so he accepted me as a disciple. Is it true?"

Yao Sanlang smiled all over his face, thinking that sister Lin became a junior sister, it will be a long time! "My good sister, let me let you go if you provoke me. My master has only one standard for accepting apprentices, and it must be pleasing to the eye. From my point of view, my master likes you very much."

"Really?"

…………

Fourth Sister Wen is practicing silently.Originally, there were three things in her life: drinking and eating meat, cultivating, and hugging cute loli.

Some time ago, her life consisted of three things: drinking and eating meat, cultivating, and molesting Brother Zhuo/apprentice.

And find someone to fight every once in a while.

Drinking and eating meat are not allowed now, the apprentices have all grown up and went their separate ways, Brother Zhuo is busy with his career.

Not only did they serve the emperor, but the concubines had to transport many rare treasures from all over the world to visit their relatives, and the escort agency made a lot of money.

Now all she can do is practice and eat meat, and read a book by the way.Damn, there are more than a dozen traditional Chinese characters in a book that I don’t know!When it was time to study, she went out with a knife, and when Brother Zhuo was serious about studying, she went to learn cooking!

'Actually, I'm nothing special, I just use other people's reading time to learn cooking', this is not justified at all.Quickly and sneakily holding the dictionary to recognize some unfamiliar words, who knows if they are rare words, anyway, they are not very accurate/feel strange when looking at them.

Xue Pan came several times to ask to see Miss Murong, and he came again today.

Fourth Sister Wen felt very annoyed after hearing the announcement, and wanted to scold him for her apprentice, so she was picked up by Xiang Baozi and put back in the house.

Fourth Sister Wen felt that she was lying on a soft cloud: "You are very strong, Baozi!" She actually gave me a princess hug, hehe~ Such strength, could it be that you practiced by carrying your own body every day?

After Xiang Baozi put her down, he held on to the table and couldn't stand up straight, panting for a long time: "You are being brave! A frail girl like me, don't change to be so reckless! Master, now you are so beautiful, that kid is a sensual woman!" Disciple, don't go see him."

"Oh, yes. After so many days of beauty, I still can't get used to it."

Xiang Baozi was speechless, and said: "I'm going to scold him. Senior sister was annoyed by him and left Beijing. This kid doesn't know what to do!"

Fourth Sister Wen waved her hand listlessly: "Go."

Boring to death, cultivation is really boring to death!She was gearing up and rushed to the kitchen to beat eggs handsomely with one hand.Hmph, I don't know where those taboos came from, but I was also frightened by saying that you can't cook if you are pregnant, hehe, do you really think I am the kind of person who has no knowledge?

Fuck your uncle's feudal superstition!Even if there is a god reincarnated, it does not prove that pregnant women cook more and their children warm in the belly, they are prone to fever!I've seen other people's housewives!

Damn it, I've been playing tricks all my life, but I was tricked by a dead liar!Shame!

She beat the egg liquid hard, didn't decide whether to make ox tongue cake or cake, um... In fact, the wife cake of mille-feuille is also very good!Oh, steaming a pot of cotton cakes is also delicious.

I was happily busy with the May Fourth, when I suddenly heard a knock on the door: "Come in!"

It was Yao Sanlang who came in, and he leaned over with a smile: "Fourth sister, Daiyu is going to visit my house again, what do you think I should bring this time?"

"I only know that you, Senior Brother Bilu, like spicy food. What about the others? Just bring something according to everyone's taste."

Yao Sanlang spread his hands: "I don't understand anything about relationships, fourth sister, help me~"

Fourth Sister Wen rolled her eyes: "You think I understand? Silly roe deer, what do you think!" Passing the egg wash bowl over: "Here."

Yao Sanlang took the pot and egg beater, and began to beat vigorously by hand: "Can I prepare a copy according to the list last time?"

"How do your brothers do it?"

Yao Sanlang blinked innocently: "Brothers seldom go down the mountain, and it is impossible to bring a beautiful girl back to the mountain when they go down the mountain. At most, they can bring me a candied haws, and they will not bring gifts for everyone."

Fourth Sister Wen thought of how much trouble Daiyu would have to suffer if this thing really got her hands on it!She was serious: "There is a saying that teaching people how to fish is worse than giving them fish. Let me teach you how to bake dim sum. You can show your skills when you go back to the mountains."

Yao Sanlang happily agreed.

Oil skin, puff pastry, egg skin... crystal cake, soft pastry...

In the spirit of preparing a cook for her apprentice, Fourth Sister Wen taught him until late at night, and the dim sum she made piled up next to it, using up three baskets of eggs, four jars of oil, a sack of flour, a jar of white sugar, and countless fillings of various colors. Basket of charcoal.

Yao Sanlang didn't feel tired at all. He took a plate and picked the most beautiful and evenly colored ones, and dedicated them to the goddess in a while~

He clapped his hands: "Come on, give the rest to the brothers and say that I made it myself, that's enough~"

Fourth Sister Wen was also very happy. Yao Sanlang was very smart, and he could teach it easily. She enjoyed the atmosphere in the kitchen without tiring herself, so she could happily eat dinner and go back to her room to practice.

Just as Yao Sanlang was about to leave, he ran back again: "Fourth Sister, teach me how to cook tomorrow~!"

"Okay!"

Yao Sanlang was about to leave again, and ran back: "What do you mean by that letter? The one that says 'Wisdom and Brave Fist'."

Fourth Sister Wen put her hips on her hips and laughed loudly: "Hahahahaha, that's a joke, it's very funny!"

Yao Sanlang almost threw the dim sum on the ground, if he didn't have to learn how to cook vegetables tomorrow, he would have to fight back.With a dry laugh, he slipped away.After he went back, he realized that it was already dark, and when he walked to the door of Daiyu's house, he didn't hear the sound of breathing.

He raised his hand and pushed the door, the door was already locked, obviously someone was inside.He asked again, "Sister, are you asleep?"

Daiyu said: "Brother Sanlang? You come in through the wall." Although she has slipped into bed, she is still meditating, and she doesn't want to sleep tonight!

Yao Sanlang went in through the wall and saw her sitting cross-legged on the bed, with her clothes still on and her hair untucked, with a knife in her hand, the karma ring from her wrist was taken off, and she was cultivating in her hand.Yao Sanlang smiled: "My sister is waiting here, and I will deliver the luggage."

Daiyu frowned slightly: "You said, is that spider coming tonight?"

"Should come." Yao Sanlang leaned over to the bed, sat on the bed awkwardly, seeing that she didn't drive him away, he was very happy in his heart.

How could Daiyu have the time to talk to him, it wasn't that she didn't want to sleep, but when she thought of a huge spider circling her house at night, she felt uncomfortable and couldn't rest at all.

Now that brother Sanlang came to guard with her, she felt more at ease, closed her eyes and continued to circulate her true qi.

Yao Sanlang looked for trouble and said, "I just learned a lot of dim sum recipes from my fourth sister. In the future, you can not only eat cakes, but you can also find me if you want to eat other things."

Daiyu nodded slightly, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Mr. Zhuo suggested that in order to change my family, I don't recognize my current master and become a foster mother, what do you think?"

Yao Sanlang was very puzzled and scratched his head: "It's pretty good."

"Idiot." Daiyu sighed to herself, even if she didn't say it outright, he was still a generation older than you, silently taking advantage of you, but you couldn't figure it out!If you can't figure it out, forget it, anyway...you are not me, Mr. Zhuo may not be able to take advantage of you, right?Ah.

Yao Sanlang scratched his head even more: This doesn't seem to be a pet name, it seems that I really have something stupid.Is there?What's the matter?He thought for a while, but he couldn't figure it out. He simply stopped thinking: "Sister, I will guard you tonight. If you want to meditate, I will accompany you. If you want to sleep, I will also guard you. Don't be afraid. You don't have to worry about the emperor, he Basically, he is a Daoming Lord, and evildoers dare not approach him."

Daiyu: "Hmph, I'm not afraid."

As soon as the words fell, a huge spider silhouette appeared on the window paper under the reflection and transmission of moonlight.

Daiyu screamed: "Ah!!!!"

With a whimper, she threw herself on Yao Sanlang's back: "What should I do? What should I do?" She raised the Xuanhuan of Karma and wanted to smash it over.

Yao Sanlang stopped her: "Don't do anything yet. I'll ask who she is." He stood in front of Daiyu happily, pulled out a gun and threw it to the window: "This fellow Taoist, why did you come to commit the crime?"

The spider outside the house made a sound, it sounded like a deep and charming female voice: "Yunqi, why don't you recognize me?"

"Red Lady?" Yao Sanlang was a little surprised, but suddenly became wary: "Why did you go down the mountain?"

Daiyu was startled: Hong Niangzi, I remember you, the last time he went to Longevity Hill for ten days, he said he went out to visit friends, and there was a Hong Niangzi among his friends.

"Hey, you little enemy." The female spider said quietly through the window: "I have a long relationship with you. I thought you didn't know much about men and women. Unexpectedly, it's not that you don't understand, but you just don't want me."

Yao Sanlang felt embarrassed and upset: "A friend, what are you talking about?"

"You take me as a friend, but I don't take you as a friend. Now that I have your child, I have to eat you to be considered a husband and wife."

We spiders have principles.

Yao Sanlang only felt that there was a murderous aura outside the house, and a murderous aura behind him, thinking that now I am Roujiamo.He didn't even think about it, and immediately retorted: "Red lady, don't ruin my reputation! I, Yao Yunqi, was born in the world in 320, and Yuanyang is still there!"

Red Lady: "Hehe~"

Daiyu gritted her teeth: "Hehe. Yao Yunqi, get out!"

Yao Sanlang was really about to cry: "Starscream, you bastard! Sister Lin, don't you believe in my character?" Thinking of his own character, he finally shed tears of despair. There is no character in front of him.

He was completely demolished by everyone who knew him, not only the demolition, but also the foundation!

Daiyu hesitated, although he was mischievous and snarky, but he didn't seem to be bad, otherwise Master wouldn't be friends with him.

The red lady smiled slightly: "Little sister, you are young and don't know that there are good and bad men in the world. The handsome ones may be idiots. I know Yunqi will definitely not admit it. I have brought evidence. If you take a look at the child, you will I know how much this baby looks like Yunqi."

Daiyu pushed Yao Sanlang away, got out of bed, put on her shoes and strode to the window, opened the window with anger rolling in her chest: "Okay, let me see! If it's true, I will Break up friendship with Yao Sanlang, I will not worship any master, and I will cut off my friendship from now on. If it is false, I will kill you!"

The author has something to say: The queen's strategy~

Do you believe that Yao Sanlang is still a virgin?
