Before Madam Hou could approach, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and first a pair of four or five-year-old children jumped out, and then a young couple, who thought they were the children's parents. After touching the heads of the two children, the young couple

Then he took the child's hand and walked to the carriage nearby, and helped the people in the carriage out.

The first person to come out was a middle-aged woman, who was about the same age as Mrs. Hou, but her face was much more haggard than that of Mrs. Hou, who was a smooth and harmonious couple.

After the middle-aged woman got off the carriage, she quickly turned around and helped the last gray-haired old woman in the carriage out.

Lin Fei followed Mrs. Hou and looked at the guests of Jingyun Hou Mansion. When he saw the gray-haired old woman, he was a little surprised.

In fact, from the previous letters, he could guess the identities of these people without Mrs. Hou's introduction. The old woman with gray hair must be Mrs. Lu who saved Mrs. Hou back then. She is quite haggard and old with Mrs. Hou.

The woman must be Mrs. Lu's daughter. The young couple must be the son and daughter-in-law born to Mrs. Lu's daughter, that is, Mrs. Lu's grandson and granddaughter-in-law. The younger children are the children of her grandson and granddaughter-in-law.

Among these people, even though Mrs. Lu's hair has long been gray and she is the oldest, she is probably "a beauty who has never failed over time". Because of her outstanding grace, compared with her daughters, grandchildren and even great-grandchildren, she is actually

The most outstanding among them.

From Mrs. Lu's current appearance, we can vaguely see some of her youthful splendor, and she must be a rare beauty.

After helping Mrs. Lu get off the carriage, the family turned around and walked over to Mrs. Hou and Lin Fei.

After some polite greetings, Mrs. Hou took the initiative to help the gray-haired Mrs. Lu, and started chatting as they walked: "If it hadn't been for Madam, I would have ended up in Sichuan."

Mrs. Lu patted Mrs. Hou's hand and looked at Mrs. Hou with a very soft look: "Back then, the second young lady was about the same age as my family, and she looked so pretty. I don't know how ruthless those people were.

I am determined to drive people to death!"

Mrs. Hou was the second in the family when she was not married. She had known her since they were young, so it was not surprising that she was used to calling her "second lady".

Madam Hou's eyes turned red when she heard this, and she said to Madam Lu: "At that time, Madam was the only one who saved me. Madam Qian accompanied me to study and made medicine for me!"

When "Qian Niang" was mentioned, the middle-aged woman with a somewhat haggard face showed a smile. She looked at Mrs. Zheng and said: "Qian Niang also likes the second young lady. The second young lady is very kind-hearted and taught Qian

Mother has many things.”

The daughter of the Zheng family has been exposed to it since she was a child, and what she has learned is not comparable to that of ordinary women. She has indeed learned a lot from Miss Zheng.

It's a pity that people can't stay young forever. Looking at the haggard look on Qian Niang's face, Mrs. Hou didn't say anything, just stretched out her hand to hug her: her husband's family decided to divorce and returned with her son.

By Mrs. Lu's side, the mother and daughter raised their son (grandson), and now the hardships are finally over.

Without mentioning the past, Mrs. Hou glanced at Lin Fei, who was quiet as if he didn't exist after the greetings, and said: "That's it! I'll leave you here and you can't speak. It's better to go back to your Dali Temple.

Go for it!”

When Lin Fei heard this, he was not polite. He immediately raised his hand, said "Thank you, mother!" and left.

He walked so fast that Mrs. Hou shook her head helplessly. Fortunately, Mrs. Lu and others on the side didn't take it seriously. After all, Mrs. Hou had already mentioned the second son's temper in the letter.

It's just that several people were a little surprised that Lin Fei was appointed as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

"I heard that the Yamen is not easy," Mrs. Lu looked at Lin Fei's leaving figure and said, "Why did you go to that Yamen?"

Mrs. Hou said helplessly: "He likes it, but there's nothing we can do about it."

Madam Lu nodded, withdrew her gaze, and returned to the carriage with Madam Hou, heading towards Jingyun Hou's Mansion.

…

…

In the kitchen, Wen Mingtang was still puzzled.

"Since the guest has arrived today, he will be waiting for the guests today. How can it be arranged for a few days before the reception banquet?"

"Those guests who have been living in the nunnery for a long time have to eat vegetarian food for a few days, and then they can eat meat once." Liu Yuan said, tutted his lips, couldn't help but shook his head and said, "Like I'm waiting for you.

Such a person who loves nothing but meat is not suitable for spiritual practice. It would be really uncomfortable not to eat meat for a whole meal!"

Hearing this, Wen Mingtang smiled, lowered his head and looked at the menu in his hand: the content on the menu was very detailed, as well as the ingredients and methods used, which showed that Master Xing was a meticulous person.

After knowing what was going on, he handed the menu back to Liu Yuan, who was already chatting with Ji Caimai and others about the eucalyptus.

"Is there any progress? There really is no progress!" Liu Yuan shook his head and said, "On the contrary, I visited the market these days and was frightened to death by the rumors in the market."

Is there such a thing? The glutinous rice balls, which were peeling sugar and frying chestnuts, were eating delicious glutinous rice balls. They quickly turned to look at Liu Yuan.

Liu Yuandao: "Because Feng Shiling's body was cut into pieces and was related to the butcher, people in the market spread rumors that Hu Siming killed Feng Shiling and sold his body to

The bun shop that makes meat buns is now being sold as meat buns."

The delicious glutinous rice balls that were eating fried chestnuts with sugar suddenly became excited when he heard this, and his face turned pale: "My dad also bought meat buns for a late night snack last night. He said they were sold cheaply by the bun shop. Buy one."

Get one for free, I...I even ate one!" At this point, Tang Yuan subconsciously covered his mouth. Thinking of the meat bun he ate in the middle of the night last night, he suddenly felt acidic water starting to come out of his stomach, and he felt nauseated.

impulse.

When Liu Yuan heard this, he glanced at the glutinous rice balls that were about to spit out, and said: "Are you stupid? Feng Shiling's body has been pieced together completely, but you still forgot it?"

Tang Yuan said "Oh", remembering this incident, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"However, there were so many people talking in the market that I didn't know where the news came from. As a result, several steamed bun shops were unable to sell their meat buns, so they had to buy one and get one free." Liu Yuan said, "Old Yuan should be watching.

I bought it because it was cheap, so it doesn’t matter.”

This time the rumor must be false, Liu Yuan knew it in his heart, but...

"This is not the first time that rumors of killing people and making them into meat buns have appeared." Liu Yuan said, "I heard that many years ago there were rumors that butchers killed people and sold them to meat bun shops to make meat buns."

Comparing the glutinous rice balls, A Bing and others were amazed, but Wen Mingtang was a little speechless: the rumors of these kinds of human meat dumplings really existed in ancient and modern times!

"I don't know how old the rumor was. It was said that someone bribed the butcher and joined forces to murder a wealthy merchant couple. In order not to be discovered, Liu Yuan said, wiping his neck with everyone.

He moved and said, "The butcher is related to these rumors!"

But he was as timid as glutinous rice balls and was frightened again. Liu Yuan paused and continued quickly: "But I have asked the clerks who manage the files in the warehouse about this matter, and I have never heard of it in the past thirty or forty years.
