Xia Mang just sighed for a while. After all, it was someone else's family matter and had nothing to do with her.
According to Man'er, the young prince and his wife of the Duke of Guo's Mansion went there one after the other. The entire family of the Duke of Guo's Mansion had observed filial piety for three consecutive years, and the former one only had to pay filial piety.
At this time, they will take the linen clothes and plain cloth used in mourning to the ancestral hall to deal with them. At that time, the masters will also go to the ancestral hall to burn incense.
The ancestral hall is far away from the main courtyard where the Dowager lives.
The group of people passed through two doors, turned into the west corridor, walked through an alley, and when Xia Mang's head was dizzy, they finally arrived at the place.
After passing through the small corner gate, Xia Mang followed the maids in front into a quiet and solemn courtyard.
The scent of incense candles that had been burning for many years hit his face with a hint of coolness, which refreshed Xia Mang's spirits.
Servants and young men were guarding the entrance to the yard. The maids brought things over and placed them in the yard. The rest was left to these people to handle.
Xia Mang followed them and piled their things in the yard, and saw someone coming to move the boxes and cages.
Man'er quietly pulled her and said in her ear: "Let's go quickly. It's very cool here and I'm always a little scared."
Xia Mang had no intention of staying here, so he walked out.
When she stepped through the small corner door, a familiar ding-dong sound suddenly sounded in her head.
‘Ding, the mission is released, the mission content: Enter the Xiang Ancestral Temple in the Zhenguo Palace. ’
Xia Mang was stunned for a long time before she remembered that Zhenguo Gongfu was the mansion where she was currently "working", and the family name of Guo Gongfu was Xiang.
Let her, a low-level rough girl, enter the ancestral temple?
In full view?
Enter horizontally or vertically?
Xia Mang had a fierce face and challenged the system in his mind: "There are many ways to kill me. Why did you choose such a unique one?" ’
System: ‘.The host can use some special methods. ’
Xia Mang was still a little unhappy.
‘To put it simply, didn’t you see there was someone guarding inside? Could it be that I have wings for you to fly in? ’
The system uses its usual trick: ‘If the host refuses the task.’
Xia Mang wasn't used to it at all: 'It's up to you, life or points, you watch and take it! ’
The system had no choice but to watch Xia Mang raise his feet to go to the main courtyard. It finally compromised and said: 'There is a way to ensure that the host can enter the ancestral temple safely. ’
Xia Mang: ‘I didn’t tell you earlier! ’
The system was silent for a moment and chose not to argue with Xia Mang, but instead said: 'There is a hole in the back corner of Xiang's ancestral temple that you can get into. ’
Xia Mang was a little shocked: 'You even know this? Are you from this family? ’
The system quickly defended: ‘Host, please don’t make wild guesses. This was learned through scanning. ’
Xia Mang reluctantly accepted this reason and asked, "Why should I go to the ancestral temple?" ’
The system said forcefully: 'No comment, please host to complete the task as soon as possible! ’
Xia Mang then complained in his heart with a dark face: Whose system is as virtuous as yours?
However, she has gradually become accustomed to the system issuing tasks for no reason. Anyway, she has points to earn, so don’t worry about it!
Since there was a special way to enter the ancestral temple, Xia Mang naturally accepted the task without hesitation.
She told Man'er and the others a random lie, and then separated from the crowd. Following the direction instructions given by the system, she quietly walked through the alley and went around the back wall.
In a very hidden place overgrown with weeds, Xia Mang finally found what the system called the hole.
Xia Mang stretched out his hand to pluck the dense grass, looked at the entrance of the hole that was completely covered by the weeds, and complained: 'Who is a good person who opened a dog hole here? If the blockage is like this, can you get through it? ’
The system casually said: ‘It’s okay to clean it up. ’
Xia Mang complained about cleaning the weeds at the entrance of the cave: 'It's as if you have drilled through it. ’
The system goes silent.
In order to avoid being discovered by others if he delayed for too long, Xia Mang simply dug out the entrance of the hole and then buried his head and drilled into the entrance of the hole.
The hole was just the right size, and Xia Mang's small body still had enough room to squeeze through.
Drilling through the small hole, Xia Mang found herself directly in a hidden corner of the backyard of the ancestral temple. The main hall of the ancestral temple was right in front of her. She could just go around the porch and turn in.
The servants just stood guard at the door of the front yard. No one thought there was such a hidden dog hole in the corner, so no one came to the backyard at all.
Xia Mang moved to the ancestral hall close to the wall. When the servants were not paying attention, he turned around and entered the ancestral hall.
There was a large screen with cranes painted on it, blocking the scene inside, and there were luxurious and low-key cloth banners hanging above the head.
The wisps of cigarette smoke were misty among them, looking solemn and solemn.
Xia Mang hid himself behind the big pillar in the corner, his eyes constantly scanning the indoor environment while planning the next route.
At this time, there was another ding-dong sound in my head, followed by bursts of strange "beep" sounds, and the mechanical sound of the system came.
‘Please inform the host that the mission is cancelled, the mission is cancelled! ’
'Violation warning, beep - violation of Article 59 of the "System Law", beep - beep -'
‘Due to the unfavorable experience brought by the unconventional operation to the host, 200 points will be compensated! ’
‘Ding, the points have arrived, please check carefully! ’
Following a series of message prompts, Xia Mang retracted his outgoing leg and closed his mouth about to curse.
After opening the points page and admiring the extra two hundred points, Xia Mang sighed helplessly.
As for the system, there are so many days every month. Anyway, she understands that she uses money to do things!
Regarding this inexplicable sudden situation, Xia Mang hopes to come back twice more.
Anyway, every time a task is completed normally, the reward points are not more than half of the compensation points.
The system seems to have sensed Xia Mang's thoughts and is ready to explain: 'What happened just now was just an accident'
Xia Mang comforted me in turn: "It's not a big problem. After all, it's my first time to be a system player. It's normal to have no experience." ’
System: ‘.’
Xia Mang, who considered herself magnanimous, had no intention of arguing with the system. Since the mission was cancelled, she could go back where she came from.
Xia Mangmao walked out with his waist pressed against the wall. As a result, he bumped into someone.
A low muffled hum rang in his ears, and Xia Mang felt his forehead hit a soft spot, and bursts of orchid fragrance rushed into his breath.
It's going to happen!
Got caught!
Xia Mang panicked for a moment, and the person she bumped into probably fell to the ground because of the sudden fright.
The threshold of the ancestral hall was very high. The man had one foot on the inside and one foot on the outside. If he fell like this, he would probably fall hard.
Xia Mang hugged the man subconsciously.
After lunch, Qiao Yuandong was lying on the bed to take a nap, but he dreamed of his deceased husband, so he woke up early. Feeling a little uncomfortable, he thought of coming to the ancestral hall to burn incense.
Finally, when she walked to the ancestral hall, as soon as she stepped through the door, something black hit her from the other side, startling her.
Before he had time to dodge, the figure bumped straight into him, but managed to avoid hitting his chest.
Qiao Yuandong used to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath after taking a nap, but now that he was hit like this, his eyes were filled with stars, and he couldn't stand straight.
She was about to fall down, but before she could react, the girl Rongzhu who came with Qiao Yuandong stretched out a pair of arms and hugged her waist firmly.
lecher! ?
Qiao Yuandong wanted to scream, but because she was hit hard just now, she opened her mouth and did not make any sound.
Fortunately, with this hug, Qiao Yuandong finally gained a firm footing.
She calmed down and looked down, and the crouching guy also looked up at her, and the two of them looked at each other.
Xia Mang raised his head and saw that face as beautiful as jade.
The two shallow and curved willow-leaf eyebrows are as freehand as possible. A pair of watery eyes are now full of accusations, coquettishly and angrily. The unpainted lips under the delicate nose are like petals that have fallen into the mortal world. .
Where have I seen such a beautiful beauty?
Xia Mang thought about it and remembered.
lady!
After remembering who this master was, Xia Mang was stunned.
Rongzhu, who had followed Qiao Yuandong, also rushed over and snatched his wife directly from Xia Mang's claws.
"Madam, are you okay? Are you injured anywhere?" Rongzhu was very nervous and took the time to glare at Xia Mang.
Qiao Yuandong calmed down, shook his head, looked at Xia Mang who was standing aside and said, "Are you new here? Are you serving in the Taifu's Courtyard?"
She recognized Xia Mang through those bright eyes, and remembered that she had had a conversation or two with Xia Mang.
Xia Mang didn't expect Madam to have such a good memory. Now she couldn't even frame her by pretending to be someone else. She could only nod her head honestly while still complaining about the system crazily in her mind.
‘You can scan the garbage system and dog holes, but you can’t scan the people outside the gate! ’
System: ‘.’
Qiao Yuandong looked at Xia Mang and frowned, and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Ah, that's because" Xia Mang thought about the reason with his head bald.
Before Xia Mang could explain the reason, Qiao Yuandong suddenly said: "Did you get lost while carrying things here?"
"Yes, yes." Xia Mang nodded quickly, and even mentally gave Madam's steps a super thumbs up.
"Today, I followed my sisters to move things to the ancestral hall, but they left without waiting for me, so I got lost."
Xia Mang raised his head and quickly glanced at Qiao Yuandong's wrinkled clothes, then lowered his head and said: "I just bumped into Madam, I hope Madam can forgive me."
Rongzhu supported Qiao Yuandong to calm her down. When Xia Mang mentioned this matter, she felt angry and started to scold her.
"Hmph! You're a reckless thing. You have eyes in the sky and you can't see the road. If Madam has any good intentions, you should watch your skin carefully!"
Xia Mang knew that he was in the wrong, so he immersed himself in pretending: "Yes, yes, my sister said yes."
Qiao Yuandong didn't want to argue with her, he waved his hand and said: "That's all, I'm not in any serious trouble, you can just go."
Xia Mang got the order and started to run, but Qiao Yuandong stopped him before he could step out of the gate.
Xia Mang thought Qiao Yuandong was going to go back on her word, so she turned around worriedly: "Madam?"
Qiao Yuandong just said: "This is not close to the main courtyard. You don't know the way and are afraid of wandering around. Please wait here and I will take you out after I burn incense."
Xia Mang was stunned for a moment before nodding: "Thank you, madam."
Looking at Qiao Yuandong's back as she turned and walked into the main room, Xia Mang couldn't help but give her another thumbs up.
Well, she is a kind-hearted beauty!
