    Liu Wenyang and the revived Miss Zhang family were arrested and sent to the Zhang family compound in person by the fast leader Zhang Long.  When saying goodbye, Liu Wenyang asked "concernedly" how the three snitches would be punished.  Zhang Long smiled "hehe" and said: "Brother, I don't know how the three of them will be sentenced. I only know that they are vicious and hard to change. In order to resist the interrogation, they deliberately made themselves mute!" An understatement.  The words made Liu Wenyang shudder, as if he saw those three unlucky guys having their tongues pulled out!  But what if it happens?  If his affair is exposed, then he will Liu Wenyang suddenly felt that the five hundred taels of silver notes hidden in his arms might not be a consolation prize, but a life-threatening talisman!  "I hope those three mutes will never be able to speak!" someone thought. ?¡­ ?Inside the Zhang Family Courtyard.  Seeing that his daughter was safe and sound, the big man shouted "Bodhisattva bless you". When he heard that the three snitches were caught, he even shouted "God opens his eyes"!  For Fang Yuanwai, who came to help catch monsters, "God is very short-sighted."  Apart from running out of breath after running after the fox, I encountered nothing. The seven-foot dragon stick prepared early in the morning was of no use. Fortunately, I polished it until it was shiny and prepared the stick.  The stick went straight to Huanglong The thief was caught, the daughter was rescued, and the demon-catching operation in Zhang Da's family ended.  With nothing to do, the chivalrous Fang Yuanwai led his troops back home and continued to dance with his lonely Panlong stick.  As for Liu Wenyang, he is also leaving.  Although it was already dark, Zhang Dahu tried his best to stay, hoping that he would stay one more night and leave tomorrow. However, Liu Wenyang was not willing to stay here anymore, especially because he couldn't stand the crying look of Zhang Yingying.  Although I didn't do anything wrong, I still "beat up the wild mandarin ducks" and broke up this "dog man and woman". I was only looking at Feng Shui, but I wasn't here to catch someone, so it was better to leave to avoid causing trouble.  .  Before leaving, the wealthy man grabbed Liu Wenyang's hand tightly, stuffed the remaining two hundred taels of silver notes into his hand, expressed his gratitude sincerely, and emphasized that he must keep it secret and not ruin his daughter's reputation.  Things are kept secret.  He also said that he would find a family to marry this unfilial daughter as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams. He also asked Liu Wenyang if he was interested. He would rather pay a large amount of dowry!  Liu Wenyang immediately refused, saying that he was not lucky enough to accept it, and that a good-looking woman like the eldest daughter of the Zhang family might as well marry someone of the right family.  Of course Zhang Dahu understood what this meant. People disliked his daughter for being a shabby shoe, so he could only continue to sigh: "My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate." Seeing that Zhang Dahu gave up the idea, Liu Wenyang wiped off a cold sweat and said  What a risk, I almost became the famous "Cuckold King"!  ¡­¡­ Taking a carriage, Liu Wenyang left Sishui Town, bumping along the way, and arrived back at Taohua Town just before dawn.  Liu Wenyang took a nap in the car and was not very tired at the moment.  So he took out the silver notes he had earned, and together with the five hundred taels he had obtained from the snitch, he now had a full seven hundred taels of silver, which was considered a small gain.  After counting the banknotes and carefully stuffing them into his inner pocket, Liu Wenyang took out the bag of "pills".  "Saying that I am weak and need to take medicine! It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous! It's really ridiculous!" Liu Wenyang pinched out a pill, but saw that the pill was quite big, dark and covered with a layer of shiny wax, and he didn't know  Is it made with hawthorn sugar?  I put it to my nose and smelled it, but there was no other smell except the smell of oil and wax.  Liu Wenyang would not actually put it in his mouth to taste it, but would crush it with his fingers to see what was inside.  Unexpectedly, the pill was quite hard. Liu Wenyang tried to squeeze it several times but failed to open it.  But when he actually squeezed the powerful pill away with a "pop" sound, he was stunned.  I saw that what was wrapped inside was not hawthorn sugar, but a shining night pearl!  The bead was so bright that it illuminated the inside of the carriage. Liu Wenyang couldn't believe his eyes when he held the bead.  No wonder the bearded snitch asked for this bullshit healing medicine to be returned to him. It turns out there is such a treasure hidden in it.  But Zhang Long probably never expected that there was a universe inside this pill, and that there were such good beads hidden inside.  With ten pills, could it be said that there are ten beads?  !  Liu Wenyang thought of this and pinched two open to take a look. Sure enough, each one contained a luminous pearl the size of a pigeon egg.  Although he didn¡¯t know how much these beads were worth, Liu Wenyang also knew that they were definitely good things.Of course, the bearded man will not beg for nothing but "pills" and no money.  His breathing was a little heavy, and he hurriedly packed away the beads. He wanted to laugh loudly, but he covered his mouth. At this moment, he could only secretly laugh in his heart.  There is a saying that wealth and honor are forcing people to come, and nothing can stop them!  ¡­ ¡­ The snowy road was difficult to travel, and the bumps along the way almost caused someone¡¯s delicate anus to explode.  ¡°About three or four hours later, Liu Wenyang finally returned home by carriage.  It was already daybreak. He had worked hard all night, but there was no trace of fatigue on his face.  Liu Wenyang¡¯s energetic appearance made his father feel very happy.  I originally thought that my son would go to Surabaya Town to see Feng Shui this time and would come back tomorrow at the latest. I never thought that my son would appear in front of me just after I slept.  Immediately, my father asked Liu Wenyang with great concern how he helped the wealthy family do Feng Shui.  Liu Wenyang told him everything that happened.  Of course, as before, the male protagonist of any story must be himself, his appearance must be handsome, his character must be wise and powerful The female character must love him to death, and there must be multiple female protagonists, including maids, maids and female dogs all  Have a good impression of him.  This time was no exception. Liu Wenyang told the story in an embellished way, only concealing the fact that he shared the spoils with Zhang Long and his group, and then got the 500 taels of silver notes himself, as well as the fact that he got the night pearl by mistake.  After all, this matter is not visible to the public, so it is better for Dad to know as little as possible, so as not to implicate him in the future.  As for the two hundred taels of silver notes given by Zhang Dahu in the end, Liu Wenyang filially handed them over to his father and asked him to keep them properly.  The father grabbed the banknote and kept chanting: "If I save enough money, I will marry you a wife!" But Liu Wenyang couldn't help but laugh. We must know that wealth and the number of wives have been directly proportional since ancient times. The more money, the more beautiful the wife will be.  many.  By then, Dad will probably no longer be worried about finding a wife for his son, but what kind of wife he will marry!  Just when Liu Wenyang was full of thoughts about three wives and four concubines, someone suddenly knocked on the door.  Liu Wenyang thought to himself, who is this? He came here early in the morning. Could it be that he wants to tell his fortune?  If so, he is too impatient!  When he opened the door, he saw a ragged boy standing outside, sniffling. As soon as he saw Liu Wenyang, he made a "pop" sound, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Wenyang: "Young master, I kowtow to you, old man."  !¡± Liu Wenyang was stunned for a moment, and then he saw clearly that the boy kneeling on the ground was none other than Mingyue, the little Taoist boy who used to serve the iron-mouthed man in the Chenghuang Temple.  It turns out that this little Taoist boy received the silver gift from Liu Wenyang that day and asked a doctor to treat his mother.  Now that my mother's condition has improved, he has kept his promise and searched all the way to be Liu Wenyang's servant and book boy to serve him and pay off his debts.  Father Liu Da was very worried about this little guy who suddenly appeared with runny nose on his face, thinking that he was too young and might not be able to serve his precious son.  But in Liu Wenyang¡¯s opinion, this little guy is very clever. If he is trained and taught well, he might become a talent.  Under Liu Wenyang¡¯s insistence, his father had no choice but to accept the little Taoist boy Mingyue. After all, it was better to have a child to serve his son on his behalf than not at all.  What's more, Mingyue looked like a slug, but her mouth was quite sweet. She called Liu Wenyang "young master" and called his father Liu Da "master". Old Liu, who had never been respected by anyone, immediately laughed from ear to ear.  Now that the little Taoist boy Mingyue is going to live with Liu Wenyang in the Liu family, for the sake of convenience, his Taoist robe can no longer be worn. After all, this is a private house, not the City God's Temple, not to mention that the Taoist Taoist priest is too shabby and tattered, and wearing it would be unworthy of Liu Da.  The face of an official.  So Liu Wenyang bought him an outfit, but it was a brand new winter coat.  Although this cotton-padded jacket is not a silk brocade jacket, nor can it be said to be very expensive, it is very thick and warm.  The little Taoist boy Mingyue took the cotton-padded jacket and couldn't believe her eyes. She couldn't help but ask Liu Wenyang: "Master, is this really for me to wear?" Liu Wenyang smiled and said: "Who else can wear it if it's not for you? I don't wear such a small cotton-padded jacket.  I can¡¯t put it on! Okay, let¡¯s try it on and see if it fits¡± At that moment, Mingyue happily took off her torn Taoist robe and put on her new cotton-padded jacket. Not to mention, it was just like a custom-made one.  Not to mention the perfect fit.  That robe was originally very thin, and the little boy Mingyue would have a runny nose from time to time while wearing it. Now that he is wearing this warm cotton jacket, he feels warm and comfortable all over his body.  Wearing a new cotton-padded jacket, Mingyue touched here and pulled there, giggling all the time.  After a long time, he came back to his senses, and with another "plop" sound, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Liu Wenyang until his head bled.  &nbspSuch a scene made Liu Wenyang confused.  Mingyue wiped her nose and said with tears: "I have never worn new clothes in my life, and no one has ever bought new clothes for myself! Master, you are so good to me, woo woo woo!" Liu Wenyang  Surprised, he never expected that Mingyue's past would be so difficult, but he didn't know that there were many children like Mingyue among the poor people in Ming Dynasty.  Don't say that children have no clothes to wear. Many adults have no clothes to wear.  Many times, there is only one pair of trousers in the house, and men wear them when they go out to do errands, while women stay naked at home, and do not even dare to show their faces when guests come.  Seeing Mingyue's tears and runny nose, Liu Wenyang couldn't help but feel sympathy, and asked him with concern: "What is your real name?" Mingyue wiped away her tears and said: "My real name is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Goudan." Goudan, Goudan.  "Sheng" is a common name for many farm children. It is said that the name is cheap and easy to make a living. Seeing such a cheap name, the devil will not accept it, and the king of hell will not keep it.  However, Liu Wenyang felt that since he had followed him, he could no longer call him "Goudan". This name was too vulgar. He had become his master, and he would be both prosperous and deprived. The honor and disgrace of the little Taoist boy was no longer his alone.  , but also related to his reputation as Liu Daguan.  So Liu Wenyang banged his head, thinking about what to name him, and finally thought that the name "Mingyue" was not bad, so it would be better to just call him "Zhang Mingyue".  When Liu Wenyang told Mingyue what he meant, Mingyue shook her head like a rattle and said, "It's not that I don't like this name, but since I entered your house, I should take the surnames of the young master and the old master.  Just change Zhang to Liu and call it 'Liu Mingyue'. " Liu Wenyang didn't expect that many wealthy families in the Ming Dynasty had this kind of rule. The servants and maids did not have their own surnames, but took their master's surname.  The surname is whatever the master's surname is. There is no freedom at all. Only by redeeming one's body can the family's name be restored.  Seeing that Mingyue was serious, Liu Wenyang couldn't help but smile: "That's not necessary. We are not a famous family. Your surname is Zhang!" Mingyue shook her little head into a rattle again and said, "Since I received the favor of the young master,  , I have made up my mind to serve you for the rest of my life. Unless you drive me away, I will always stay by your side, so my name will only be called Liu Mingyue!" Liu Wenyang didn't expect this slug to be so stubborn.  He couldn't help but shook his head, but secretly liked it in his heart, and liked the loyalty shown by Mingyue.  Liu Mingyue¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª It¡¯s a quiet night and the wind is quiet, and a bright moon hangs on the willow branches!  It sounds so poetic and picturesque, but it¡¯s a pity that this bright moon likes to have a runny nose, which is a bit disturbing.  <ahref=http://>The Chinese website welcomes all book lovers to come and read.
