Since Jia Lian became the head of the Rongguo Mansion, several of Jia Lian’s servants have been promoted.
The young boy Xing'er is now the steward of the stable, and because Jia Lian appreciates his quick mind and sweet tongue, many of the Jia family's external affairs are also left to Xing'er.
Although this boy is a bit lazy, he is smart and has an excellent memory. Although he does not read, he can read quickly. He has no trouble reading the account book of the stable. He also arranges the affairs of the stable in an orderly manner and does his job well.
It's stylish.
But at this time, Xing'er, who was so flustered and yelling, didn't have the decency that a steward of the stable of Rongguo Mansion should have? He was even less mature than when he was a servant.
.
Jia Lian's face darkened and he scolded:
"Stop! What kind of behavior are you yelling at?"
Seeing that Jia Lian was angry, Xing'er was so frightened that his legs softened and he knelt on the ground with a "gudong" sound:
"I beg you, Second Master, to have mercy on me and don't be like me. It's really something happened in our family. I'm so anxious that I can't care about anything."
"What happened at home?"
Jia Lian was also a little unsure. Could it be that the old lady had a sudden illness? Or... the emperor had a seizure and now the Jia family was confiscated?
Xing'er hurriedly said:
"It's the second grandma and the second master Bao. They hit each other hard!
Running around with eyes straight and bare feet, talking nonsense, grabbing sticks or kitchen knives, killing chickens, dogs, and people. They are extremely strong, and there are only three or five strong ones.
Even the mother-in-law can’t hold her back.
They sent for a doctor, and the second mistress stabbed the doctor in the head. The doctor had already been prepared to hide quickly, and even made a big gash in the front of his clothes.
Second Master Bao rolled his eyes, cried and laughed, jumped up and down, and the two women were holding him. He jumped three feet high, and even the doctors couldn't catch up with him.
The old lady was distressed and frightened, and she had fainted. Our house is now in complete chaos.
The elder insisted on inviting one hundred and twenty monks and Taoists to come to his home to set up formations and practices to ward off demons.
The second master insists that ‘fate is determined by God and cannot be forced’, so just let nature take its course and wait for death.
Uncle Zhen said it would be best to quickly set up a stage to perform a performance to reward the gods and ask the gods to help drive away ghosts.
I just found the Yamen, and the people in the Yamen said they saw the second master coming to Dongcheng. I guessed that he came to Jixian Tower, so I chased him all the way.
Second Master, please go back and have a look, whether to invite Mr. Duan to ward off evil spirits or whether to invite a witch to perform a divine dance. Someone needs to have a big idea."
.
What he said made Wei Tongguang and Zhuyu dumbfounded. They stared at Jia Lian with four eyes, but they saw that Jia Lian was calm.
Wei Tongguang thought secretly:
The Jia family is really chaotic. No one is doing business, and the whole family is confused.
No matter how capable Jia Lian is, with his family's virtue of "pressing the gourd and lifting the ladle", just wiping the buttocks of the Jia family is enough to kill him. The Jia family can torture themselves to death without anyone else doing it. But Cornel is really worried about Jia Lian:
"Brother Lian, don't worry, I will send someone to send you both Master Zhang from Jade Emperor Pavilion and Master Xiang from Tianshi Temple.
They usually talk about how they are so powerful that they can ward off evil and avoid evil, and turn evil into good luck. If it doesn’t work this time, I will demolish their temple!"
Jia Lian cupped his hands and said:
"I understand your kindness. It's just that many of the things that happened in my family were unjust, so I still think they are embarrassing.
If we invite the Jade Emperor Pavilion and the Tianshi Temple, in less than half a day, the big room, the second room, the main room, and the side room in our house will be kicked up behind the scenes, and those bullshit things will be done.
The news spread all over the capital."
As he spoke, Jia Lian stood up and saluted Wei Tongguang:
"Since something happened again in my family, I can only hold my nose and go back to deal with it. It is really rude. I will hold a banquet to apologize to Brother Wei next time."
.
Jia Lian said goodbye and went out. Wei Tongguang saw Zhu Yu looking at Jia Lian's back going downstairs, and then ran to the window and watched him get on the horse, so he joked:
"This Jia Lian is really a dragon and a phoenix among people, a rare first-class person."
Zhu Yu stared at Jia Lian's retreating back with good eyes. After a long while, she suddenly turned around and asked Wei Tongguang:
"Is the second grandma who just said she was possessed by an evil spirit his wife?"
Wei Tongguang thought for a while and said:
"There are several second masters in their house, but the 'second grandma' that the servant just mentioned is only his wife."
"Then...his wife is evil and wants to kill someone, why isn't he anxious?"
.
Of course Jia Lian is not in a hurry.
I am anxious because I feel unsure.
If you know the cause of something and the solution, you will naturally be able to deal with things calmly and orderly, and of course there is no need to worry.
Others don't know, but Jia Lian knows that Wang Xifeng and Jia Baoyu are possessed by evil spirits. Isn't it because Aunt Zhao bribed Ma Daopo and "killed the villain" behind their backs?
Just solve it quickly, why bother?
.
Jixian Tower is only two miles away from Rongguo Mansion, and you will be there in a moment.
Jia Lian's horse had just arrived at the gate of the house, and Jia Yun had already run out to greet it. She stepped forward and grabbed the reins of Jia Lian's horse, saying hurriedly:
"Second Master is back, our house..."
"I know, Yun'er and Xing'er, come with me."
Jia Lian jumped off his horse and strode straight to the front study to "Sui An Zhai".
.
"Sui'an Zhai" is next to Jia Zheng's "Mengpo Zhai" and is Jia Lian's former study room, which means "being at peace with the situation".
As a person who came from time-travel, it is the best policy to be content with the situation.
As soon as he entered the house, Jia Lian asked:
"Is Ma Daopo here today?"
Jia Yun just heard from Xing'er that Jia Lian had already found a way to exorcise evil spirits, and her heart was at peace. When she heard Jia Lian ask Ma Dao Po as soon as he came up, she guessed that this person was the key, and hurriedly answered in detail:
"Yes, because Mr. Bao burned his face with lamp oil yesterday, and Madam Ma came to our house early this morning to pay her respects.
She is the godmother of Second Master Bao. When she came, she told the old lady that the Great Light Universal Bodhisattva enshrined in their temple is dedicated to illuminating darkness and evil spirits. As long as she makes a vow to worship the sea lantern, she will surely bless Second Master Bao to be healthy and peaceful.
.
The old lady heard from her that the princess of Nan'an County made a wish to worship forty-eight kilograms of sesame oil and one kilogram of light grass a day, and the Marquis of Jintian also ordered that she wish to worship twenty-four kilograms of sesame oil and one kilogram of light grass a day, which she immediately agreed to do every day.
She offered five kilograms of sesame oil and asked me to give it to her in pieces of silver.
Today I have asked Ma Daopo to take back the first month’s sesame oil money, and the rest will be paid monthly.”
When Jia Lian heard this, he ordered Xing'er:
"Take twenty people in one car and don't make any noise along the way.
When they arrived at the temple, they told them that the old lady had asked them to deliver more offerings. When they opened the door, they held the person who opened the door and stopped him from speaking out.
We found Ma Daopo's house, confiscated everything in the house, sealed them with seals, tied up the people they arrested, put them directly into the car, and sent them to the prison cell of the Yamen without disturbing the people around them."
When Xing'er heard that he was going to arrest someone, he immediately geared up and ran out after agreeing.
Suddenly he stopped again, scratched his head and asked:
"I still don't know which temple to go to to catch Ma Taoist?"
Jia Lian then remembered that he did not know which temple Daopo Ma was from.
Jia Yun immediately said:
"I know this, because the money given to Ma Daopo must be recorded in the account, and it is written in the account book.
That temple is called Daguangming Temple, located in Gouwei Hutong, Nancheng."
"Okay, Second Master, please support me!"
When Xing'er heard about the specific place, he jumped up and ran outside.
Jia Lian also stood up and told Jia Yun:
"Now immediately ask someone to check in the wife who is in charge of the back house. No matter who is there, ask her to hunt ghosts with us!"
