Chapter 77 Gossip duo
Chu Nanzhi was grateful to Liu Shuyang for helping to take care of Lin Jinxiao, but she didn't expect this little son-in-law to be so ungrateful and say such things in front of the child.
She quickly bent down to comfort Dabao: "Be good, Dabao, don't cry, your father will get well sooner or later, we don't listen to other people's nonsense."
But the little son-in-law seemed to have lost his mind, and he still muttered to the side: "Brother-in-law is disabled now, and I'm not wrong."
Seeing this, the second treasure, the third treasure and the fourth treasure also burst into tears, cursing while crying.
Erbao scolded the most: "Yiying, Uncle, you are the cripple. You use my grandma's money to gamble every day, and you have killed my grandpa and my little aunt. You are the cripple."
Chunan Zhuben thought it was just the child playing with his uncle, and accidentally pushed him into the water, and never thought that there would be such a thing in the middle.
After hearing these words, she also gritted her teeth angrily, put down the child and beat Liu Shuyang mercilessly: "Liu Shuyang, you owe not only your hand, but also your mouth, get out of here."
Seeing that the whole family didn't give him a good face, Liu Shuyang tiptoed out in fright.
Chu Nanzhi was afraid that he would go to gamble again, so she quickly reminded: "Liu Shuyang, don't forget what you promised yourself in front of the whole family yesterday."
Liu Shuyang was so angry and annoyed that he ran away without a trace.
Chu Nanzhu didn't bother to pay attention, and followed his second sister Chu Nanxiang to comfort the crying little treasures.
Xiao Muci stared blankly at the side and watched several brothers and sisters wailing loudly, but they didn't cry or make a fuss. Instead, they laughed foolishly.
Chu Nanzhu sadly took his son to his side. Seeing Liu Shuyang serving his brother-in-law attentively this morning, he thought he was about to change his mind, but he never thought that a dog would not be able to spit out ivory.
She comforted the little ones with a look of guilt: "Baby, don't cry, your uncle is a big villain, we don't have the same knowledge as him."
After hearing this, the little Sibao Lin Ruijia stopped crying first.
She knew in her heart that for a long time to come, she, her brothers, sisters, and father would all stay at her grandma's house, and would not go home until her aunt taught her aunt and grandma to cook.
Holding her tears, she clung to Chu Nanzhi, and whispered in her ear with a crunchy voice: "Mother, why don't you make another one of my father's toys at grandma's house?"
"it is good."
Chu Nanzhi patted her little head and agreed.
I had this idea before, but I was busy dealing with the family's affairs yesterday, and rushed to the county government in the morning, so I never had time to take this aspect into consideration.
Waiting to appease the quadruplets, she ordered the two sisters:
"A Xiang, stay at home and help me take care of the four little treasures and Xiao Muci, and Azhu will accompany me to Lao Wang's carpenter's house."
Chu Nanzhu also heard Sibao's muttering just now, and quickly echoed:
"I heard from Dabao in the morning that my eldest sister made a strange toy for my brother-in-law at home. It is very convenient for my brother-in-law to use. The carpenter Wang Wang in the village should be able to do it with ingenuity. It just so happens that our father is not very flexible in his legs and feet. Got it."
"Well, let's go now."
After finishing speaking, the two sisters hurried out of the house.
Taking a few breaths of fresh air on the road, birds singing and flowers fragrant everywhere, the mood of the two of them gradually improved.
Chu Nanzhu thought about her going to the county, so he couldn't help asking: "Sister, how is it? You can see that we have seen the brother of the Wei family. Will there be a turning point in this case? Can you help the second mother of the Wei family?"
In front of her own sister, although Chu Nanzhi couldn't tell her thoughts completely, she couldn't hide everything. She narrated concisely:
"People have seen it, and the poisonous Shen Yang probably really didn't know about it."
"So, the brother of the Wei family and the concubine of the Shen family were really wronged?"
Chu Nanzhu was both surprised and a little unbelievable: "But the tea that the Patriarch of the Shen family drank was clearly brewed by that concubine himself."
"There should be something wrong with the tea itself."
Chu Nanzhi answered, thought of some questions, and asked Chu Nanzhu directly: "Azhu, do you know where the Shen family came from, and why they were able to enter the royal palace on Nanhua Mountain in May?" Picking scented tea?"
She vaguely remembered that the Nanhua Temple was only open to common people during the first lunar month, July and October fifteenth Sanyuan Festival, and everyone was allowed to enter the temple to pray for longevity and good luck.
Besides, during the Sanyuan Festival, the temple is heavily guarded, not to mention that it is impossible to visit the mountain, even if it is just for incense, you have to squeeze your head to get in.
Unexpectedly, after hearing her words, Chu Nanzhu didn't feel curious at all, but said calmly:
"The elder sister has been married to her brother-in-law's family in the past few years, and I'm afraid I don't know about many things that happened in our village. I heard that the Shen family's mistress began to ask questions with great concentration in the past two years."
Having said this, she suddenly stopped and looked at her cautiously.
Chu Nanzhi saw that she had a strange look on her face, and she didn't know what she was worried about, so she urged impatiently: "Just tell me what you have."
Chu Nanzhu hesitated to speak and pondered for a moment before he dared to continue:
"As far as I know, it seems that Mrs. Han got acquainted with the Ximen Taoist who met you, eldest sister, and started practicing at home. If you say that Mrs. Han is indeed out of luck, she manages such a large family business, but she just got it. An infertility disease, I have no support in my heart, I am afraid I can only place my mind on the Taoism."
Bringing up the anecdotes and anecdotes of the Shen family, Chu Nanzhu talked endlessly with gusto, but when Chu Nanzhi heard the name of Taoist Ximen, she already frowned unconsciously.
The origin of Taoist Ximen has always been a mystery. Some people say that he is from overseas, while others say that he is a master who has traveled down the mountain and possessed unique knowledge.
But in Chu Nanzhi's view, this person is just a charlatan who knows how to do heresy, and is definitely not a person in orthodox Taoism.
But in my impression, it seems that I have never heard this person mention the matter of Nanhua Temple, let alone think that this guy has an affair with the Shen family's mistress.
She interrupted Chu Nanzhu's speech, and asked curiously: "But the Taoist Ximen didn't come from the Nanhua Temple, so how could he lead the Han family into the royal palace? As far as I know, the Nanhua Temple is nothing People from heretics are willing to accept them, right?"
"Why don't you say that he has supernatural powers."
Chu Nanzhu curled his lips arrogantly, and couldn't help but smirked and joked: "Otherwise, how could I have the ability to deceive my good sister into being obsessed."
"Stop talking nonsense."
Chu Nanzhi patted her angrily, and asked urgently: "My good sister, tell me what's going on?"
"It's not difficult."
Chu Nanzhu made a cute smile and continued:
"Nanhua Temple is such a large temple, there will always be a few hypocritical Taoist priests who are greedy for vulgar things. I heard that Taoist priest Ximen has made friends with many wealthy women in our ten miles and eight townships in the past few years, and tricked them into donating tens of thousands to Nanhua Temple. Two silvers of incense money, only Mrs. Han probably has seven or eight hundred thousand taels of silver, so she met a quite qualified Taoist priest, who seems to be the master of some kind of eldest princess."
Paused, she shook her head with a sneer:
"Such a distinguished pilgrim, let alone going to the temple to worship incense, even if he travels all over the Nanhua Mountain, no one will stop him. What's more, last month was the summer solstice day of the Sanqing Festival, and qualified Taoists can enter the temple to listen to the Taoism. The officials preach the precepts, accept the merits and demerits of the three officials, and then decide the order of receiving the talisman."
"I see."
Chu Nanzhi suddenly realized.
Just after hearing so much from her, she suddenly took a new look at this stinky girl, and couldn't help asking curiously: "You stay in the village all day, where do you go to hear so many messy things?"
"Of course I have my channel."
Chu Nanzhu pretended to be mysterious and smiled, but seeing the elder sister's sharp eyes full of doubts, he had to confess quickly:
"Earlier this year, I met a female envoy from the outer court who worked in the Shen family's mansion. Her husband's house is not a few steps away from our house. She likes my carefree personality. I also think she can talk. So when we had free time, we would often rush to the door, and over time we became good sisters, and she told me almost everything she knew in the Shen family."
"I told you everything?"
"Tell me everything, anyway, that's all I know."
Chu Nanzhi nodded in thought, and did not press her further.
It is impossible for a female envoy from the outer court to know too many secrets.
But as soon as the incident related to Taoist Ximen, her sixth sense was a little strong, and she always felt that there was nothing good in it.
It seems that tomorrow I have to go to Shen's house.
