The next day, the master and servant moved to the abandoned yard in the southwest corner.

The yard originally had a master. The master was a concubine of the old marquis. Somehow he was sent to live here. Three years ago, the old marquis died, and the concubine became a monk, and the yard was idle.

After Liu Yunxiang married into the Marquis' Mansion, she had never seen this concubine. She had been in the courtyard, and the gate of the courtyard was locked and no one was allowed to disturb her.

A secret door was opened to the west of the yard, and after passing the secret door, it was the alley behind the Marquis' Mansion.

So this yard is more like a yard independent from the Marquis' Mansion. With this secret door, the concubine can not walk to the front yard at all.

It's very pure.

The weeds in the yard are very high. When you walk into the house, the furniture is also very worn, but it exudes a sense of serenity.

A green gauze tent, a step-drawing bed, and three incense sticks in front of the Bodhisattva statue.

Jinyan took Zijin and Xiaowu to clean up, and Liu Yunxiang was placed outside to bask in the sun. When the sun sets, they were almost done.

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the butler walked in with two guards.

"Butler Li, what are you doing with such a mighty momentum?"

When the butler saw Liu Yunxiang, he coughed dryly before saying, "There was a thief in the kitchen last night."

"oh?"

"Stealed a bag of rice."

Liu Yunxiang narrowed his eyes: "You caught the thief and came to my yard, and it was just for a bag of rice?"

"The second lady said that since the family is divided, the third lady should not take another grain of rice from the Marquis' Mansion. Even if she is poor and becomes a beggar, don't beg for food in front of the Marquis' Mansion."

"She borrowed this bag of rice to beat me, but she also gave this to her. If she is down one day, she will not come to ask me for a bowl of rice. You can bring this to the old lady and the two ladies. No matter what the future is, I, Liu Yunxiang, will definitely not be able to ask them!"

Only they are asking for her share!

The butler waved his hand and asked the two guards to go in and search.

Zi Jin blocked the door with a sword, and Jinyan and Xiaowu also opened their arms to block it.

"Let them search!" Liu Yunxiang said.

"Madam, they are so bullying!" Jinyan burst into tears.

"Don't cry, hold on to this."

Liu Yunxiang said something, Zijin and the others could only get out of the way. Butler Li took two guards in and searched, and made the house they had just sorted out again, but he didn't find a grain of rice.

"Mrs. Third Lady, offended." After saying that, Butler Li smiled again, "But if we let the thief guard, we have to build a high wall at the gate of your yard. Do you have no objection?"

Liu Yunxiang shook her head and laughed, "If you are not afraid of trouble, then do whatever you want."

Once the wall is built, she will be purified.

That night, Butler Li and his family members started building walls.

I saw that the wall was pulled out of the ground, high above the courtyard wall, and still building up.

When I waited until the next morning, I looked at the wall again. I couldn’t see the corner towers that were so high that I couldn’t see the trees in the distance, and the scenery in the Marquis’ Mansion.

"I'll push the wall!" Jin Yan said in anger.

Liu Yunxiang looked at the high wall, but she was in a very good mood. "Jinyan, let's grill lamb chops at noon, I've wanted to eat them for a long time."

"ah?"

"What do we eat? They can only smell it, so how good is this wall."

Jinyan thought about the scene and couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, we will eat roast lamb chops at noon. I have been making them in the kitchen for a few years, and my skills are pretty good. I must be so delicious that I can't stand them."

Liu Yunxiang gave Jinyan a bag of silver, "You have to buy more meat and vegetables. If the meat cannot be preserved, it will be dried into dried meat and marinated into bacon. If the vegetables can be kept for a long time, I guess it will take a month before Shengjing can survive this famine."

Jinyan nodded, "I understand, don't worry."

Before the famine came, Liu Yunxiang was relieved to look at the high wall in front of the yard, the rice jar was filled with rice, the dried jar and a can of cured meat, the firewood piled into small hills, and the three girls around her were relieved to look at the three.

But within two days of peace of mind, she and several officials came out to accompany the Empress Dowager to Ziyun Temple to eat vegetarian food and pray for blessings. She was stunned.

I haven't had this experience in my previous life!

But the imperial edict was sent to the marquis's mansion and asked her to go by name, so she had to accept the edict.

The second wife Xue looked at the imperial edict and was a little jealous, "The other officials were either princesses or had been granted imperial edicts. It can be seen how honorable it is to accompany the empress dowager to pray for blessings. If we say that we choose a wife from our Jing'an Marquis Mansion, it shouldn't be her."

Actually, Liu Yunxiang also thought it was quite strange, why did she choose her?

The old lady saw everything, raised her eyes and glanced at Liu Yunxiang, and said, "This rain has been tangled for several days, but it has not been clear. I heard that the road to Beijing has been destroyed, which may lead to natural disasters. The Queen Mother believes in Buddhism, and whenever there is a strange phenomenon in the sky, she will go to Ziyun Temple to pray for blessings. But the Buddha is always there, but she cannot always serve in front of the Buddha. In order to show sincerity, the Queen Mother will bring an official family every time she prays for blessings. This official family is usually a widow and has no children to tie her back. After the Queen Mother returns to the capital, she will continue to stay in the temple and serve the Buddha for the rest of her life."

Xue was shocked, "All of you are like Aunt Yan..."

Liu Yunxiang was stunned.
