Chapter 738: I'm a Tanuki
"It's raining lightly?"
An ox cart passed by on the street, the wheels ran over the puddle, the muddy water splashed everywhere, and the people inside were stunned, frowned, lifted the curtain and looked out, and unexpectedly found that the rain was much lighter than when it first came out.
The coachman replied: "Yes, sir, it was a little heavier just now, but now it is much lighter, and I am afraid that it will not be sunny until noon." ”
"It's a good thing, you don't have to delay the shrine's big sacrifice tonight. As he spoke, the man was about to lower the curtain when he suddenly felt a white shadow flashing in the distance, and he couldn't help but take a closer look.
"I thought it was something, but it turned out to be a tanuki. ”
Thinking that most of the people living in this area are high-ranking officials and nobles, nobles love to raise cats, and the goosebumps that just popped up calmed down, the man sighed with emotion and put down the curtain.
The ox cart hurried by, and what the man didn't see was that he just saw the white shadow squatting on the street corner.
The little fox, who had just crossed the street and was squatting under the eaves of an unopened shop, watched the ox cart go away, and after a short rest, he ran again into the distance.
"Haw, everyone looks at me as a tanuki!"
The light rain is dripping, and the ground is puddled one after another, although it is the capital, the road surface is relatively smooth in the county, but not all the sections are clean, and the little fox jumps lightly from time to time to skip the sewage.
Because it is fast, it does not get its fur wet, and when it runs, there is a faint layer of white light on its body, so that the rain slides directly outside the white light.
"Chirp. ”
A high wall appears in the front, the inside is lush and thick, a dragon plaque is in the middle of the gate, three big characters are written "Lu Wangfu", and four palace lamps are hung under the eaves, this is the destination it wants to explore.
The front door is naturally difficult to sneak into, and after glancing at the government soldiers guarding the door, the little fox turned around and ran directly into the alley, ran to the end of the long alley, and then turned around and ran for a while, and then went around to the back of the palace.
However, it is not safe to enter through the back door, and the little fox ran out of the alley, jumped lightly at a position on the back wall, and planned to climb over the wall.
It's just that when it is about to enter, suddenly, it trembles instinctively, and it is about to jump in, it suddenly stops, and its outstretched claws also shrink, and its hair stands up.
A flash of light flashed in the fox's eyes, and half of the red sandalwood shadow hung down, and everything in front of him changed.
"See through the truth. ”
This can give its eyes an instant ability to discern the real for a short time, somewhat similar to the dragon eye, it seems to be a low-level version, but it is enough at the moment.
It saw that the sky above the back wall of the originally normal palace was covered with what seemed to be nothing.
The phantom was like a snake, and it seemed to have horns on its head, and it was very vague and not clear, not only that, but the thin threads invisible to the naked eye were intertwined like spider webs, connected to the phantom, and slipped up along the wall, covering the entire palace above and on all sides.
If it had jumped in recklessly just now, I am afraid that it would have touched the thin line, thus attracting the attention of the Daoist who had laid down the defense.
Yes, this thin line is obviously the Tao!
When the little fox was first hunted, it had already seen that the passerby was powerful, and now it did not dare to be careless, its eyes rolled, and first tentatively, probing its claws into the middle of the thin line.
"Chirp!" The claw reached out, and there was no accident.
Obviously, this defense is mainly against people, not petite animals like little foxes!
Getting a satisfactory result, the little fox no longer hesitated, it carefully got into the gap, slipped a little, and landed lightly and landed safely!
Glancing back, it deftly ran inside.
Along the way, because of the light rain, there were not many servants, but there were people chatting in the corridor or in the courtyard, and it listened attentively.
"I heard that the three cave mothers have a big festival tonight. ”
"Yes, in addition to the three caves of Niangniang, there are other shrines, and they are also being sacrificed one after another, although some of them are staggered, but they can't be separated by a few days. ”
"It's all three days ago that the earth dragon turned over, and there are also various shrines to appear, everyone has to worship and ask God to bless them. ”
"Where are you going when you're not on duty?"
"Others don't know, Steward Zhou is definitely going to the Sandong Niangniang Temple, he is flattering Chen Xuanzhi, and he will definitely go to ask for a son on her behalf. ”
"Chirp!" The little fox has lived in the palace for a long time, and knows that the prince has a princess, and he has a talented person and a servant, and the prince has a princess, and there is a servant under him.
Chen Xuanzhi is a concubine.
Hearing information that is useful to it, it runs away and listens to the next one.
Only this one runs one yard after another, not to mention anything else, the gossip of the palace and the private affairs of the inner house, but I have heard a lot of nonsense.
Although it didn't know if it was useful, it took it to heart, ran a little longer, and reached a courtyard again, and the fox's eyes suddenly lit up.
Steward Zhou is here?
I saw that the courtyard in front of me was larger than the previous courtyard, and there were soldiers standing at the door, looking magnificent, compared to the palace of the king, this is likely to be the courtyard where King Lu lived.
After sneaking in, he found two people standing in the hallway, and one person kneeling.
It shook its ears, but it didn't move forward, it could hear so far away, and it listened carefully.
The soldiers with cold expressions nearby did not squint, and did not notice such a small thing hiding in the corner and eavesdropping.
In the corridor, King Lu was standing with his hands in his hands, listening to the report of the kneeling Zhou steward below.
Steward Zhou, who had a long thin face, spoke quickly and clearly, and when the little fox eavesdropped, he was talking about the affairs of the Acting Palace.
“...... Dai Wangfu, according to Mr. Gui's instructions, has asked people to contact Mama Jia, who has collected 1,000 taels from us, as well as 100 acres of land outside the city, and is willing to report every move to us. ”
King Lu nodded, it is no coincidence that Mama Jia of this generation of the palace can be used by him.
As early as when the acting king was promoted to the acting prince, he had already regarded the king of that era as an opponent, and he had already laid out early to buy a few more people from the acting king's mansion.
Of course, it is possible to install a newcomer into the house as an undercover agent, but it is difficult for the newcomer to gain the trust of the acting king immediately, so he can only take his time and buy the old man, it will be much easier to use, and he can use it immediately.
This Mama Jia is serving the "old man" in front of the princess in the inner courtyard, because she entered the palace early to follow the princess, and the acting king is now the king, she has also been promoted to the housekeeper, and her treatment is even higher.
But people have weaknesses, and Mama Jia is no exception.
Mama Jia's husband's family was favored by the king, but she was different.
Mama Jia was originally a person in the palace, and the prince was released from the palace before the accident, and became the steproom of Jia Wuyou, who was in the palace at that time, but the prince had an accident, and Jia Wuyou swept out of the house due to his small official position.
Jia Wuyou died depressed, and her adult children fought for property, and they didn't take her stepmother seriously, so Mama Jia suffered a hard life and made a living by washing clothes.
Twenty years, has been more than forty years old, and has no sons and half daughters, a year ago on behalf of the king to find the old man, two sons have entered the palace as a soldier, she was also fortunate to enter the Su Mansion at that time, because she was a female official in the palace, teaching Mrs. Su is the princess housekeeper to socialize, with this friendship, to settle down.
It is said that as long as An Ansheng is working in the palace of the king, she does not have to worry about the elderly.
