Zhao Zhen went to court in the evening with all the civil and military officials. After struggling for half the night, he finally only treated everyone to a meal of rice cakes. The emperor was very considerate. Since he went to court in the evening, he would not have to go to court tomorrow morning, and everyone had a day off.

The ministers were well fed and walked back to the house in twos and threes, chatting as they walked.

The fourth son and the young Liangzi were having a good chat with Taishi Pang, and they were walking around in circles. Taishi Pang was so happy and having fun while walking.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang accompanied Mr. Bao for a walk. Behind them were the Eight Kings and the Marquis of Qingping who were arguing as they walked. Gongsun found it interesting to see Zhao Pu and Doluo being scolded while trying to break up the fight.

When they reached the vicinity of the Grand Master's Mansion, Pang Fu led someone out to pick him up.

Originally, the grand master wanted to pinch the little fourth son’s face and say goodbye to him, but the little fourth son suddenly asked, “Little chubby, can we come to your house to play?”

When the Grand Master heard this, his eyes lit up and he quickly stopped him, "Hey! You said it!"

Gongsun was quite embarrassed when he heard this, so he grabbed the fourth son and said, "Little fourth son, it's late today, but it will be daytime tomorrow..."

"Alas." The grand master quickly grabbed the two children, "Why don't we stay one night if we are late? Let alone stay one night, we can prepare a room for them! We might as well stay in Yu'er's room and let Yu'er go to Kaifeng Mansion.

Make the floor!"

Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi ran to the Taishi's Mansion hand in hand. As soon as they entered the door, they bumped into Mrs. Taihua, the ninth aunt of the Taishi's family.

"Auntie!"

When the fourth son called out, Mrs. Hua was surprised and happy, "Ah! Little darling!"

Immediately, all the ladies in the Grand Master's Mansion rushed out and took the two children away.

At the door, Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu - what to do?

Zhao Pu patted him and asked them to spend the night at the Taishi Mansion.

Gongsun nodded. Anyway, the fourth son has two shadow guards following him at all times, and the Taishi Mansion is full of experts, so he is not afraid of anything happening.

…

Leaving the fourth son Xiao Liangzi behind, Zhan Zhao and others returned to Kaifeng Mansion and saw that the Demon King and others in the courtyard had returned.

There was the big turtle on the stone table. Gongsun and the Demon King were sitting drinking tea and chatting. Tianzun was feeding the turtle with a handful of vegetable leaves in his hand, and Yin Hou was petting the fat cat Hulili in his arms.

When everyone enters the courtyard, they first obediently greet their elders.

Tianzun and Yin Hou are still looking for them, "Where are Xiaosizi and Xiaoliangzi?"

Gongsun said he stayed at the Grand Master's Mansion for the night. Tianzun and Yin Hou couldn't help but sigh - the Grand Master is so popular! The fourth son usually doesn't want to spend the night at other people's houses. If he was asked to spend the night in the Bai Mansion, he would stay up until midnight.

When you wake up and find your father, you are so close to the grand master?

After hearing this, the Demon King smiled slightly and nodded, "The Grand Master's Mansion should be very lively tonight."

…

Is the Taishi Mansion hot and lively at this time? Of course it is lively.

The Grand Master has nine wives, who spend the whole day in the mansion beating horses, singing and singing, and they all have a good relationship with each other.

These nine ladies have different identities and experiences. Some are the daughters of generals, some are noble daughters, some are talented women, some are chivalrous women, and some are witches. I don’t know where the Grand Master found them.

Among the nine ladies, two are particularly good at martial arts, one is the Third Madam and the other is the Ninth Madam.

The third lady, Mrs. Yuan, is the cave master of the Ghost Cave and one of the famous witches in the world. She has retired from the world for many years. This lady is particularly fond of people from Kaifeng Mansion. The reason is very simple - her grandmother is a member of the Demon Palace.

Ninth Madam Hua's kung fu is particularly good, but she was seriously injured and lost her memory. She was picked up by the Grand Master and her "origin is unknown". As for whether her memory has been restored, no one knows. Anyway, she lives well in the Grand Master's Mansion.

In addition, the second wife was the most famous piano girl in Kaifeng at that time. She taught Pang Fei all her piano skills. The fourth wife’s family was in business and her family was extremely wealthy. The fifth wife was a talented woman who was good at appraising treasures.

The Madam is proficient in cooking and is said to be from the same school as the God of Cooking Guo Tian. The Seventh Madam is the leader of a theater troupe and she founded several theaters in Kaifeng. The Eighth Madam comes from a martial arts family and she also learned Kung Fu from the Tianshan School.

When he met Bai Yutang for the first time, he called him "Little Master", which made Fifth Master very embarrassed.

When the ladies saw that the fourth son and the young Liangzi were visiting, they immediately became energetic and formed a circle to entertain the two children.

Pang Yu was just asked by his mother to drink a bowl of white fungus, and then went back to the house.

It must be said that Pang Yu has indeed improved a lot. Apart from taking classes at Taixue every day, he mainly devotes his energy to helping Kaifeng Mansion solve crimes.

At this moment, the young Marquis was looking through the files in the Taiwei's Mansion. He was sitting in the Taishi's study, reading and sorting them out. His back was sore and his legs were aching, when he heard a commotion outside.

Pang Yu was quite puzzled, were the mothers in his family fighting each other again or were the eighth mother and the ninth mother competing again?

After leaving the study, Pang Yu was quite careful. He closed the door of the Taishi's study and locked it. He took the key and ran out of the yard, crossing the corridor, and suddenly saw something flashing on the lotus pond beside him.

.

Pang Yu was startled, stopped and turned to look. It was quiet on the lotus pond. There was nothing beautiful in winter. The moonlight reflected on the bare lake surface.

Pang Yu scratched his head and continued walking to the front yard - was it an illusion?

After walking a few more steps, I suddenly heard a burst of crying.

Pang Yu was stunned and listened carefully. It seemed to be a woman's cry. Which of his mothers could not cry?

I hurried to the front yard and saw how lively it was. A group of "beauties" were playing with the fourth child, Xiao Liangzi, and there was laughter and laughter in the yard.

Pang Yu was also quite surprised. Why were Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi here? He forgot about the incident just now and ran over to join in the fun.

The commotion continued until midnight, and the two children could no longer keep their eyelids open, so everyone finally dispersed and went to sleep.

Mrs. Ninth and Mrs. Eight each carried one back to the courtyard, and Pang Yu followed them. On the way, he asked Mrs. Yuan about the art of exorcism.

Mrs. Yuan is from the Ghost Cave and is proficient in the underworld arts. The so-called underworld arts are mostly related to offering sacrifices and praying for blessings, and are very mysterious.

The third lady stretched out her hand and grabbed Pang Yu's ear, "You! You remember to eat but not to fight! How dare you ask these gods and ghosts if you are not afraid of having nightmares at night?"

"Not afraid, I..."

Before Pang Yu finished speaking, he suddenly stopped moving.

Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Yuan saw Pang Yu staring straight ahead, so they looked in the direction he was looking.

In front is a courtyard wall and a courtyard gate, but nothing else.

The two looked back at Pang Yu in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Uh..." Pang Yu hid behind Mrs. Hua and grabbed the fourth son's sleeve, "I just saw a black figure..."

Mrs. Hua looked at Mrs. Yuan.

Mrs. Yuan frowned and shook her head. They were both masters, and the masters of Taishi Mansion were heavily guarded. Unless they were as powerful as Zhan Zhao Bai Yutang, it would be impossible for anyone to sneak in quietly.

"Did you see it wrong?" Mrs. Yuan patted Pang Yu on the forehead.

"Uh... maybe." Pang Yu touched his head, wondering if he had studied too hard recently and had hallucinations?

After passing through the courtyard gate, the two ladies sent Xiaosi and Xiaoliangzi to the guest room. Pang Yu went to his room and brought a pillow over, saying that he would spend the night with the two children and take care of them if they woke up in the middle of the night.

Mrs. Hua and Mrs. Yuan were both happy and felt that Pang Yu was sensible. In fact, the two ladies didn't know that the young marquis had been feeling fuzzy ever since he saw a dark figure just now, and felt that it would be safer to stay in the same room with the fourth son.

…

Soon, it was late at night, and the entire Kaifeng Imperial City became quiet.

Pang Yu leaned on the bed holding a book and fell asleep in a daze.

Half asleep and half awake, I heard whimpering sounds coming from a distance, intermittently, it seemed like a woman was sobbing.

The little Marquis turned over, opened his eyes and looked around. In the bed, the little fourth son and the little Liangzi were touching their heads, sleeping soundly.

And the crying stopped, and there was a gust of wind outside.

Pang Yu sat up and listened carefully, and there was indeed no crying.

The young Marquis breathed a sigh of relief and felt that he must have thought too much. He got up and went to the table to pour a cup of tea.

I was holding the tea cup and just took a sip when suddenly, through the paper window on the door, I saw a figure appearing outside.

The moonlight is very bright tonight. Through the paper window, I can clearly see a person walking slowly outside. Pang Yu's eyes widened...

After all, you are used to being frightened. As the saying goes, once you are born, you will be familiar with it, you will be familiar with it, you will not have to worry again. Pang Yu has been either bumping into ghosts or being chased every three days. His courage has long been developed. While he was surprised,

He told himself, don't panic, someone might just be walking by the door...

However, if you look closely at the figure, you will see that the head is too big, and what is dangling on the head?

Pang Yu looked carefully, and it seemed that the figure walking by was a woman, wearing a phoenix crown on her head...

The young Marquis swallowed the tea in his mouth with a gulp, and his heart was raised - which bride passed by the door of his room in the middle of the night?

There aren't any girls getting married in the Grand Master's house recently, right? Or is one of his mothers running out to sleepwalk in the middle of the night?

Pang Yu was holding the cup and didn't dare to take a sip. He saw the "bride" slowly walking past the door... Just when she was about to walk out of the paper window, she suddenly stopped. She saw her

He slowly turned his head, as if he noticed Pang Yu in the door.

After just stopping for a while, the figure suddenly raised his hand, followed by a sharp scream."

"Mother!"

The cup flew out of the little Marquis's hand. He took a step back and made a crash. The chair was knocked over and the table was crooked. The teapot and teacups fell over on the table.

Xiao Sizi and Xiao Liangzi were frightened awake by this movement.

In particular, Xiao Liangzi was more alert, jumping up and asking, "Who is that person?!"

Pang Yu sat down on the ground and saw the figure at the door "whoosh" and disappear.
To be continued...
