Rebirth of the High Gate Mistress

Of course, the serious ladies and daughters of the house can leave the house at will, but the aunts in each house do not have this right and can only go out during the New Year.

For example, the Dragon Boat Festival every year is a day when all the female dependents of the whole family can travel. There are many female dependents of the whole family, and if they want to travel together, just purchasing carriages and horses is a big project. So, early in the morning, there was a lot of traffic outside the second door.

Li Ling and Jingshu took the children to finish their breakfast, took Amu, Ziyun, Danzhu and Bilu and went out early.

Li Ling and his two children got into the car first. As the matron, Jing Shu had to instruct the housekeeper to arrange the female dependents in each house and courtyard before getting on the car last.

The spring is bright, the flowers are red and the willows are green, and it coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival. Both the rich and powerful in Beijing and ordinary people will rush to the river outside the city to watch the dragon boats. For a time, the streets are lined with cars and horses, and there is no end as far as the eye can see.

There are many pavilions built along the long river outside the city, specially built for the wealthy families to watch the dragon boats. All the wealthy families of Haoying have their own pavilions. The convoy of the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion rushed to the river. Everyone got off the carriage and was led into the pavilion by the steward.

There are two pavilions in the palace, which are closely adjacent to each other. Men and women sit separately. The huge pavilion has already been properly arranged, with light gauze hanging down, and every table and chair has been wiped clean. Even when everyone is seated, it doesn't look crowded at all.

After everyone in the mansion was settled, Zhou Jiangning and his brother Zhou Huai'en also came over as promised. Jing Shu and Xu Wanning came out to welcome them, and warmly invited the two siblings into the pavilion to sit down.

The old lady can't stand the noise as she is old, and the eldest princess doesn't like it, so neither of them came over. Without the restraints of the elders, it is much more lively for the young women to get together.

Today Xu Wanning brought out the two aunts from the yard, and Pingyang also brought Jiao Xing, but there was a difference in rank. The ladies sat at the top, and the concubines gathered at the bottom.

On the river, rows of colorful dragon boats were ready to go. Accompanied by the sound of horns and the sound of drums, more than a hundred dragon boats started at the same time. For a time, the river was filled with drums and shouts, which was very lively.

The female family members were sitting in the pavilion, sipping fragrant tea, eating fruits, leaning on the railing and watching the dragon boats, which was very comfortable.

The river is backed by mountains, and on the mountains is the famous royal temple Jinzen Temple.

In a Zen room in this royal temple, Zhao Yuan'er, who was dressed in plain clothes, had been cleansed by the sound of Buddha for several days, but the hostility in her body continued to increase.

A strong maid brought in a giant vicious dog that was half a man tall and said to Zhao Yuan'er: "Princess, Bugs has been trained properly."

When Zhao Yuan'er heard this, a cruel look appeared on her face again, and she winked at the maid behind her.

The servant woman understood, and after a while, the servant woman took out two straw men from the dark room.

This straw figure is one big and one small, one male and one female. If you can identify it from the clothes, you can immediately tell that it is modeled after Zhou Yi's eldest daughter Zhou Jiangning and only son Zhou Huaien.

When the vicious dog saw the two straw men, it roared with teeth and claws. The strong servant let go of the dog's leash, and the vicious dog pounced and pushed the little straw man to the ground. He opened its belly with a big mouthful of blood and swallowed the raw meat hidden inside. Then he pounced on the other straw man and tore it to pieces in the same manner.

Zhao Yuan'er stared at the two unrecognizable straw men, with a sinister smile on her lips, and said bitterly: "Zhou Jiangning, you have harmed me so much. I, the princess, will retaliate today and send you and your brother to **** together."

As she said that, she asked the maid: "Did you see clearly that sister and brother Zhou Jiangning have already come to watch the dragon boat?"

The servant woman replied: "I can see clearly that my sister and brother are sitting in the pavilion of the Zhenguo Palace." As she said that, the servant woman hesitated and said: "Although this beast has been well trained, he will definitely be disappointed when he sees the Zhou family sister and brother. It can kill two people, but there are many female relatives of the Duke of Zhenguo gathered in the pavilion, so I am afraid that this beast will hurt other people again."

Zhao Yuan'er said coldly: "There is no good person in the Zhenguo Palace. It would be better to simply bite them all to death. Just let Bago go according to the plan."

The servant woman took the order and led the vicious dog out of the monastery.

It was midday, the sun was shining, and more than a hundred dragon boats were competing on the sparkling river. The ladies in the pavilion were leaning on the railings to watch the boats with great interest, and several children were also playing happily.

At this moment, a huge vicious dog roared into the pavilion.

There were servants from various houses guarding the hall a few feet away, but the vicious dog ran very fast. Before the guard could recover, it had already jumped into the pavilion like flying.

There were women and children in the pavilion, and everyone was unprepared. The vicious dog suddenly roared in, scaring everyone into shouting and hiding in panic.

The vicious dog bared its teeth and claws and pounced straight at Zhou Huaien. Seeing that the **** mouth was about to bite the child's neck, Zhou Jiangning was eager to protect his younger brother. He flew towards the vicious dog, but the vicious dog was huge. , Zhou Jiangning just managed to hold it back, but the vicious dog failed to hit it, and turned around and rushed towards Zhou Jiangning.

Although Zhou Jiangning had martial arts skills at her side, she was unarmed and was unable to cope with such a ferocious beast. She dodged the vicious dog's attack on her vitals, but her arm was bitten by the vicious dog. She was about to be unable to withstand it. At this critical moment, a strong figure rushed in with the wind, stepped forward and kicked the vicious dog several feet away, and then narrowly saved Zhou Jiangning.

 The person who arrived in time was none other than Li Ling from the pavilion next door.

At this moment, the guards of the servants had also arrived. The vicious dog was kicked to the ground by Li Ling, and everyone restrained it without any effort.

Everything happened in the midst of electric sparks and flints. It was only when the female family members calmed down from their panic that they heard the cry for help coming from the river.

　　It turned out that when the vicious dogs ran like the pavilion, everyone was so frightened that they scattered and hid, and some people were squeezed into the water.

 Pingyang and Jiao Xing were both pregnant, and their bodies were weak, so they fell into the river.

Without waiting for anyone to react, Li Xiang jumped into the river with a "thump" and swam directly towards Jiao Xing.

All the female relatives in the pavilion were stunned by Li Xiang's behavior.

"Save Pingyang quickly! Save the third lady!" Jingshu was the first to come to her senses, but the others were delayed. Pingyang was pregnant, which was the most urgent matter, but Jingshu herself didn't know how to deal with it, so she could only do it if she was anxious. call.

Of course, some of the servants and guards were good at water, but Pingyang had a distinguished status, but these servants were hesitant and did not dare to make a mistake. Seeing this, Xu Wanning jumped into the water with a "plop" and hugged Pingyang, who was almost exhausted.

The servants then got into the water, helped Xu Wanning drag Pingyang up, and rescued the other female family members and servants who fell into the water.
