In the backyard, there is a pavilion between flowers and trees, and it looks quiet against a rockery.

Liu Dahu, who led the way, said, "It's a hot house. You can sit in the pavilion first. I'll call Mrs. Qiu, and then come and have a tea."

After saying that, he walked a few steps into the house.

Gao Daquan followed the path between the flowers and came to the pavilion. He saw a stone table inside and four stone benches around him. He thought that someone would clean it every day, so he sat down.

After a while, a little girl about ten years old brought a cup of tea and went to the pavilion to greet Gao Daquan: "The official worships tea, and the lady will come out in a while."

Putting down the tea, the little girl did not leave, but stood by the pavilion and looked at Gao Daquan curiously.

Gao Daquan was not fluent in Chinese when he heard her, and knew that he was a barbarian girl. Seeing her cute and naive expression, she was not afraid of people. Her expression was full of curiosity, and she thought of Liu Xiaomei for no reason.

"Where are you from? Are your parents here?"

When the girl heard Gao Daquan ask, she replied happily: "I am from Zhongzhou, my parents are all good."

"How could I come here and not be with my parents?"

"I'll come here to work and exchange some money for my family to get married for my brother."

The girl's voice is crisp and although she is not fluent, it makes people feel comfortable to listen to.

Gao Daquan sighed in his heart. Sure enough, it was sold for his brother again. There are thousands of people in the world, and all kinds of things are strange, but this kind of thing is the same all over the world.

"How are you doing here? How are you than at home?"

"Better than at home, have new clothes to wear, have enough food to eat, and don't have to do farm work. It's much better than at home."

After all, I am still a child, and I only know that I have enough food and clothing, so I can easily be satisfied.

Gao Daquan asked again: "If you did something wrong, will the master beat you and scold you?"

"Why don't you be punished if you do something wrong? Even at home, parents and brothers are in charge of it. They beat and scold them when they do things slowly. The owner has used money and is in charge of food. Shouldn't it be necessary to beat and scold them?"

The girl's expression was innocent, and she tilted her head to look at Gao Daquan.

Gao Daquan originally wanted to say that the master should not be beaten and scolded. The near Taiping Village is governed by the court laws. The female envoys hired have a contract period, which can be punished but not abused. But after hearing the girl's words, she couldn't say it. She thought everything was reasonable. What else could you say? Besides, let alone the Emperor far away from Taiping Village, even in the capital city, at the foot of the emperor, there were fewer people beating, scolding, abused slaves and maids?

"It's rare to be able to come to the humble house once. I'm so negligent, I deserve to die!"

As he spoke, Madam Qiu came out of the room and walked into the pavilion with a smile on her face.

As soon as I entered the pavilion, a faint fragrance of powder wafted over, revealing a seductive smell.

With a life of relocation, nourishing and living in a pampering life in just a few months, Niang Qiu has become a different person. She has a silver moon face, white skin, and a well-tailored green Hunan skirt that highlights her beautiful figure. Without the past, she has added a bit of the charm of a mature woman.

Liu Dahu followed behind him, smiling all over his face, carefully paying attention to Gao Daquan's eyes when he looked at Niang Qiu. He was not afraid that Gao Daquan would attack his wife, but he hoped that the two could get along with each other and that he could gain some benefits from it. As for the relationship between husband and wife, in the eyes of this guy who can even frown his parents and sisters, he could not eat or wear it, and he would only care if he was confused.

Unfortunately, Gao Daquan didn't look at him sideways, and got up and saw Li, so he did not pretend to be rude to Madam Qiu.

The three of them sat down, and the little girl next to her ran into the house to serve tea for Liu Dahu and Madam Qiu, and then jumped to somewhere to play.

After the tea was given to Gao Daquan, Mrs. Qiu asked: "Why are you free to come here today?"

Gao Daquan saw Liu Dahu sitting aside, staring at Madam Qiu with a gaze, like a servant, sighed in his heart, and said, "I have nothing to do in the tutoring department today, so I come and take a look. Besides, I have something to discuss with Brother Liu."

Liu Dahu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "If you have something to ask me? Just ask me if you have something to do, what's the point of negotiating?"

Gao Daquan said: "A few days ago, thanks to the official's success, I decided to marry Ling Mei, and I will get married on the 26th of next month. This is a major event in life, so I dare not tell my brother."

"To get married? That's great. I've been waiting for it for a long time! You and my sister have become married, and we are legitimate relatives. From now on, who dares to look down on me when you go out?"

Liu Dahu was overjoyed, and his waist was straightened, and he became energetic.

Madam Qiu shook her head secretly. This guy didn't even say anything in a scene, just thinking about what benefits he could get. How could he not be looked down upon by his future brother-in-law?

After finishing the black hair on his temples, Madam Qiu said softly: "Congratulations on the grand celebration! My sister is married, I wonder what we need to prepare here? Now that the family has no shortage of food and clothing, I have to buy a decent dowry."

"No need." Gao Daquan refused. Neither Liu Xiaomei nor himself wanted to have any close contact with this relative, and even sacrificed his face. "When it comes time, you just go to the Tiju Sect to have wedding banquets, and you don't need to bring any gifts. We are ready!"

"The office is right. There is nothing in the tutoring department. Will we care about our little things? My wife just waits until the day comes, and we go to have a banquet, and this marriage will be settled!"

Gao Daquan's answer was exactly what Liu Dahu wanted. When his gorgeous sister got married, she had to make her own dowry. Why? It would be great if he didn't ask Gao Daquan for a betrothal gift of hundreds of ten cents. Of course, if he hadn't known that he wouldn't give him a betrothal gift, Gao Daquan would have given him a betrothal gift. Maybe Liu Xiaomei forced him to break the marriage, and she really wanted to take this opportunity to make a note. This brother-in-law has so many people in the tutor's sect, and he has been with the judge for many years, and he can always take out hundreds of cents of money.

Niangzi Qiu ignored Liu Dahu and whispered: "Why are you so careless in life? You are too polite to do it. Even if you don't have a dowry, you have to put a few decent jewelry on it."

Liu Dahu blamed women for being too talkative after hearing this. What is Gao Daquan's identity? Decent jewelry requires at least gold and silver. How can it not make people feel distressed if they spend so much money on nothing?

At this embarrassing moment, Superintendent Yao brought a servant over. He took two bottles of wine in his hand. The servant held a food plate with four dishes on it.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Director Yao directed the servant to put the wine and food on the stone table and said to Gao Daquan: "Some little wine and food are not worthy of respect, so I can do it slowly. I also have the wine and food I want to eat, just give me instructions."

"You are polite, it's already abundant enough."

Manager Yao smiled all over his face, secretly looked at the faces of the people, and had a secret idea in his heart.

Seeing that Superintendent Yao and the servant left, Mrs. Qiu poured the wine, Liu Dahu raised his glass and said, "I'm happy and drank this glass!"

After saying that, he raised his head and drank it all.

Gao Daquan couldn't say anything, so he had to drink with him.

After drinking two glasses, Mrs. Qiu poured wine repeatedly. Gao Daquan felt a little disgusted and said to him: "Why do you want to pour wine? Isn't there a female envoy at home?"

Madam Qiu said softly: "A barbarian girl, who is young and ignorant, how dare she call her over to get into trouble? We all have to eat wine, so we don't have to be polite to do it."

After two glasses of wine, Liu Dahu started to turn on his head, blushed and pulled Madam Qiu's hand and said, "It's rare to have such a good wine. Madam can drink two glasses!"

Madam Qiu frowned slightly, threw Liu Dahu's hand away without any trace, picked up the wine glass and said, "On a rare day, I will break the precepts, so I wish to have two glasses."

"What's the precept? You'll be better than mine!"

Madam Qiu smiled and pretended not to hear Liu Dahu muttering, but just toasted Gao Daquan.

After drinking a few glasses of wine and eating a few bites of dishes, Director Yao walked in with the servant, put a big soup bowl on the stone table, and said to Gao Daquan: "This is the bamboo chicken collected in the store today. It tastes really delicious. If you try it, it is really different from the usual chicken soup."

Gao Daquan said he was polite and asked Manager Yao if he was not busy, he might as well sit down and have two drinks.

Manager Yao said: "I'm so dedicated to the business, and there are still customers in the store, so the young one really can't leave."

Gao Daquan is not familiar with this supervisor Yao, and since he refuses, he will no longer persuade him.

Manager Yao was not in a hurry to leave this time and stood aside and procrastinated.

Gao Daquan saw it and had no choice but to ask, "The supervisor has something to do?"

"I really have one thing to do if I have to do, but I don't know how to speak." Manager Yao stood there and smiled, rubbing his hands constantly, as if he was embarrassed.

"The supervisor said it straight, I don't know if I can help."

"A little thing is done, just nod." Manager Yao was overjoyed. "That's it. When I was in Qinzhou, I met a Master Zhiyun. He was profound in Buddhism and was full of compassion. He was determined to promote Buddhism and save the world. A few days ago, he traveled to Yongzhou and saw that the Buddha's light appeared on the mountain not far from our Taiping Village. He was determined to build a temple there so that the nearby good men and women also had a place to respect the Buddha."

Liu Dahu was chewing chicken in his mouth and nodded repeatedly when he heard this: "I have seen this Master Zhiyun, who is kind and has a kind look, but he looks like a Taoist monk."

Gao Daquan heard it, but felt that this matter was a bit abrupt. He frowned and asked, "Does this wizard have a certificate? Don't be a wild monk from where he came from."

"Some, some." Superintendent Yao nodded repeatedly, "The young man knew that the middle was powerful, and he had specially tested his certificate of tribute. It was officially issued by Qinzhou."

Since childhood, you must have a formal certificate to become a monk, otherwise you will be a wild monk. There are many wild monks in Lingnan. Like ordinary people, they will marry and have children, drink and eat meat, and only go to the temple to preside over the rituals when they have something to do. This is a major feature of Lingnan. Therefore, Gao Daquan asked carefully, and being deceived by the wild monk was a joke.

However, even if there is a certificate of vassal, it is only 80% of the ten people bought it. The monks of the Song Dynasty were managed by the court, but there was no corresponding management organization. No matter where the Taoist monks were, they were all under Kaifeng Prefecture. Although the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture sounded like a local official, they actually also had the status of a central official of the court. Unlike ordinary prefects, they would not be qualified to be one of the four.

Guangxi is remote, and there are several monks who can travel thousands of mountains and rivers to take exams. Most of them are just buying Dao Ducai. No matter how expensive the blank Ducai is, it is cheaper than the travel fee to Kaifeng Ducai.

Thinking of this, Gao Daquan became more and more cautious and said to Director Yao: "I am just a messenger, and I can't say anything in front of the officials. This Master Zhiyun doesn't know what to do. If the government wants to donate money to build a temple, I can't help with such a big thing."

Manager Yao said: "I dare not trouble the matter of building a temple. Master Zhiyun is a monk who is enlightened. We believers will donate money to him and can build the temple. However, the master is kind. Seeing that there is no place to release animals here, we want to build a release pond next to the temple. Please give a few words to the Tijusi."
