~9 min read 1,614 words

Male guest courtyard,

Han Chengyun, who finished talking to the servant, frowned with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Not knowing what he thought of, Han Chengyun shook his head while saying "No" in his mouth.

At this time,

At the moon gate of the courtyard, the servant of the Lu family of the Duke of Ling walked over holding a wine jar.

Don't look at the fact that the Duke of Ling's mansion is already defeated inside, but outside, the descendants of the Duke of Ling still like to show off how rich and powerful they are.

People who don't know the inside story are easily bluffed by this behavior.

But it's not the fault of the Duke of Ling's descendants.

Because as long as they show any sign of wanting to save money today, maybe debt collectors will go to the Duke's mansion to ask for money at night.

Han Chengyun thought about these things and looked at the lively room again.

His eyes lit up, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Afterwards,

Han Chengyun took out a piece of silver from the purse at his waist, walked a few steps to block the Lu family servant, took the wine jar with one hand, threw the silver in his hand, and said:

"Go, go buy some meat and sweet fruits, and you guys can buy things to eat with the rest."

"Yes! Yes! Thank you, Fifth Young Master."

Looking at the silver in his hand, the Lu family servant hurriedly bowed and thanked him.

After the servant turned and left, Han Chengyun handed the wine jar to his own servant, and took out a porcelain bottle from the purse at his waist again.

After pulling out the bottle stopper, he poured out five pills.

Han family servant: "Young... young master, what are you doing?"

"Shut up!"

Han Chengyun scolded in a low voice.

Thinking about it, Han Chengyun poured back two pills.

Then he raised his chin and said: "Open the wine jar."

After the servant uncovered the seal on the wine jar, Han Chengyun clenched the three pills in his hand.

Then he slowly brought the porcelain bottle in his other hand to the mouth of the wine jar and shook it.

After the porcelain bottle was empty, Han Chengyun put back the three pills he was clenching in his hand and muttered to himself: "Before marriage, I will indulge these three times!"

"Young master, have you forgotten? There are two more bottles of this medicine sent by Eldest Brother Qin in your study!"

"Shut up! Shake it well and send it in!"

After the Han family servant went in, listening to the clinking of wine bowls inside, Han Chengyun waited for a moment and then pushed the door and walked in.

"Fifth Brother, why did you come so late? Could it be that you didn't pee clean?"

"Go away! This young master just heard the Taoist boy talking, saying that the hall where the spirit tablets are enshrined tonight..."

After the dialogue,

Another sound of wine bowls colliding came.

"Come, finish this bowl of deer antler wine!"

Inside Yuqing Temple,

The sky was already dark,

After the autumn rain stopped for a while, it began to fall again.

Knowing that there were distinguished guests in the temple,

The stone lanterns along the way were lit early, vaguely illuminating the wet ground around the stone lanterns.

In front of the main hall,

Below the steps,

The maidservant Yun Mu held a large oil-paper umbrella, blocking the falling rain for her young lady Chai Zhengzheng.

Amidst the "tap-tap" sound of rain falling on the umbrella, several Chai family governesses circled inside the hall, and after confirming that there were no outsiders, they came to the entrance of the hall and nodded to indicate that it was safe.

Seeing this scene, Yun Mu hurriedly followed the pace of the young lady in front of her and walked into the hall.

The maidservants Fuyi and Ziteng behind them held the umbrellas in their hands high to block the rain for the Zhu family sister-in-law carrying the baskets of paper money.

Stepping up the stairs, they entered the hall.

Inside the hall, three rows of candles were inserted on the large lamp stands on the wall and in the middle. Usually, only the top row was lit, but today all three rows were lit.

The hall was very bright in the candlelight.

Arriving in front of the wall where the spirit tablets were enshrined in the candlelight,

Chai Zhengzheng looked at the bright lamp in front of the spirit tablets, while Yun Mu and the others were busy setting up the cushions and arranging the offerings.

Just as Fuyi was about to take the incense sticks from the offering table, Chai Zhengzheng said: "Fuyi, I'll do it myself!"

Taking the incense sticks handed over by Fuyi, Chai Zhengzheng said while lighting them:

"Later, tell the governess outside to find someone to buy some food, and invite the Zhu family sister-in-law who helped to drink a few cups of wine tonight."

"Yes, young lady!"

Before long, the offering table was already set up.

Chai Zhengzheng came to the table, inserted the incense sticks into the incense burner, bowed, and stood aside.

The paper money in the fire basin was ignited,

Yun Mu supported Chai Zhengzheng from the side, and Fuyi and Ziteng knelt on the cushions in front of the fire basin.

Fuyi used a fire poker to pick up the paper money that Ziteng put into the fire basin, muttering words:

"Sister Qingxue, last month the young lady and we went to Daxiangguo Temple to pay respects, and saw that the Buddhist nuns responsible for the offerings in the temple were not only very careless, but the place was also a bit cramped, so the young lady decided to move your and the governesses' spirit tablets to this Yuqing Temple."

"The young lady is doing everything well, please rest assured."

Yun Mu looked at Chai Zhengzheng, who had tears in her eyes, and sighed secretly in her heart.

That temple in Bianjing City,

I don't know if it's because they have seen too many wealthy families making offerings, or because they thought their young lady would go to pay respects around the Mid-Autumn Festival like last year, so they didn't manage it carefully.

However, because the memorial day for Qingxue and others was in late June, their young lady didn't make a big splash and went to that temple at that time.

The result was that before July, the spirit tablets were all moved to this Yuqing Temple.

When the things in the basket were half-burned, a noise suddenly came from outside the hall.

Yun Mu saw her young lady nod, so she let go and walked toward the outside of the hall.

"What's going on?"

Hearing no one reply, Yun Mu came to the entrance of the hall and looked outside a few times.

Coming from the bright hall to the somewhat dark outside, Yun Mu couldn't see clearly.

Distinguishing that the people standing at the entrance were Qingzhi sent by the Gu family and the Zhu family sister-in-law, Yun Mu raised her voice and shouted:

"Where are the people?"

"Miss Yun Mu, they are over there! I don't know where the drunkards came from, they keep crowding toward the main hall!"

Just as Qingzhi finished speaking,

A male voice came: "This young master is just passing by here, why won't you let me walk forward! Do... do you know whose family I am from?"

The Chai family governess said: "This young master, there are women in front! And this is not a road!"

"You care about me? Do you dare not take my Ma family seriously??? Hiss! Let me hug you!!"

Vaguely, Yun Mu saw someone hugging the Chai family governess and moving around.

"Oh! Shameless, scoundrel! Get lost!!"

The extremely angry and terrified voice of the Chai family governess came!

Yun Mu frowned, walked forward, and after going down the steps, shouted: "This Young Master Ma, please show self-respect!"

The descendant of the Marquis of Jinxiang, Ma, breathed heavily and was pushed to the ground by the Chai family governess.

Supporting himself on the arm of the servant beside him, and using the light of the stone lantern by the roadside, the descendant of the Marquis of Jinxiang saw Yun Mu's appearance clearly.

"Finally, one who is younger has come, she is really pretty! Let this young master come and cherish..."

Saying this, the Ma family descendant got up and pounced toward Yun Mu.

Yun Mu narrowed her eyes and was about to kick the crotch of the Marquis of Jinxiang's descendant, when someone beside her stood out.

"Ouch ouch ouch~~~ Let go!"

This Marquis of Jinxiang's descendant shouted in pain, but his waist and crotch were still twisting uncontrollably.

The Zhu family sister-in-law beside Yun Mu twisted the arm of the Ma family descendant and said: "Miss Yun Mu, you can't kick his vital parts, otherwise there will be endless trouble."

Before the Zhu family sister-in-law finished speaking,

Not far away, three more people were helped by servants and walked over staggeringly.

"I can't take it anymore, I remember I didn't take any pills!"

"Brother Lu, you thief! Why is your wine so strong!"

"Where is my cousin?"

As they spoke, the three saw Qingzhi and Yun Mu standing in front of the main hall.

"Two beauties!"

After finishing, Brother Lu of the Duke of Ling's family lewdly untied the silk belt at his waist and ran toward this side.
