Fletcher Tashi Among the Monks Chapter 7

Gangzhu and the guys finally arrived at Turi Village after two days of long journey. The Turitou people took three villagers carrying forks and guns, took them to a yard, and arranged for two women to make tea and cook for them. Gangzhu looked around at the surrounding environment. The yard was not big, but it was very clean. The walls were covered with cow dung.

The Turi people greeted him warmly: "Manager Wangqiu stays here every time he passes by Turi Village. We brothers are indistinguishable from each other, so don't be polite. You can use the cow dung on the wall as you please. It will keep the house warm." "

Gangzhu said gratefully: "Thank you Tu Ritou people for causing trouble to you. By the way, when I came here, Manager Wangqiu asked me to send you a message." As he said that, he took out the letter and the bag of silver coins from his arms. , give it to the leader.

The leader unfolded the letter and read it. The letter read: A dozen sheep are enough for me to live a fat year. Once things are done, I will thank you very much. After reading it, the leader showed surprise and uneasiness on his face. It turned out that this was a secret code among the bandits in Lhasa. How did Gangzhu know that Wangchuk had handed over the lives of more than a dozen of them to this murderous devil. In order to keep the secret and for the safety of the Dele family, sacrificing these sheep was nothing to Wangqiu. The leader weighed his money bag, looked at Gangzhu's uninformed look, and smiled mysteriously.

Soon, the two women cooked the meat porridge and invited everyone to eat. The guys took out their wooden bowls and started serving porridge. Only the boy Puci lay in the shade of the wall and did not move. Gangzhu filled two bowls, brought them over and called him: "Little Puci, let's have some meat porridge."

Little Puci didn't respond. Only then did Gangzhu realize that he had a fever and his mouth was blistered. He shouted anxiously: "Wangdui, come and see, what's wrong with him?" An older man came over, touched little Puci's head and said, "My head is really hot, is it dye?" Got typhoid? "

The woman came over and said lightly: "There are so many typhoid fevers. I am tired. Young man, eat quickly. Once you are full, you will be fine after a sleep."

Another woman also came over to urge Gangzhu: "Brother, eat quickly, it will get cold in a while."

Gangzhu touched Xiao Puci's head again, and then said to Wangdui: "You eat first. I saw a monastery on the way into the village. I will ask the lama to chant sutras to ward off disasters. Otherwise, Xiao Puci I can't survive." He said, leaving.

The woman stepped forward to stop him: "Don't worry, you can finish eating before leaving."

But Gangzhu said: "He is almost dead, can I not be anxious? Wangdui, you stay here and watch, everyone is not allowed to go anywhere, I will be back soon."

The two women looked at each other. They were a little uneasy and watched Gangzhu leave with strange eyes. The woman immediately put on a smile and greeted everyone: "Everyone, eat quickly. After finishing the meat porridge, my tea is ready." Before the guys finished a bowl, two women carried the porridge pot and took the initiative to serve everyone porridge. .

Suddenly, someone covered his stomach and screamed, falling to the ground and rolling; another boy also screamed and fell to the ground.

Wangdui was confused: "What's going on?" The woman hit him on the head with a wooden spoon. Wangdui shook and fell down. Another woman took the tea stick and knocked them all to the ground with a stick here and there. She held the tea stick, pinched her waist, looked around the whole yard, and said to her companions: "Come on! Let's go tell the leader." After saying that, the two women ran out like a storm.

Gangzhu ran back holding the Tibetan medicine he had obtained from the monastery. As he ran, he suddenly saw someone carrying a dead body out of Turi's yard. He quickly hid aside, feeling an unprecedented fear. Gangzhu thought for a while, then stuck his head out and looked around. Seeing that there was no one at the door, he quickly slipped to the back wall of the yard. Gangzhu calmed down and peeked into the yard from outside the earth wall. The sight in front of him shocked him. All the workers in the yard were dead and lying on the ground in a mess. Two villagers were carrying them out.

The Turi man covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves and said gloatingly: "These stupid people came all the way to die, and they still carry the death money themselves."

The follower carrying the fork gun said flatteringly: "Headman, this time we have made another small fortune."

"A small fortune? A small fortune will send me away from the Earthly Sun? You and Scara will take two strong ox hair bags and go to Dele Mansion to collect the reward. Tell the manager Wangqiu that I will take care of all ten sheep for him. "

A woman stood nearby and interjected: "One of them ran away."

The leader got angry: "Shut up! Aren't they all here? You entered my Turi's yard and you can still run out! If word of this spreads, how can we do business in the future?"

Gangzhu was so frightened that he retracted his head from the wall. He leaned against the wall and sobbed, not knowing where to go or what to do.

Tashi, who was neatly dressed and full of aristocratic style, had just walked to the steps of the main building when he saw Wangqiu placing small tsampa lumps on the apron of the slave girl weaving Pulu. Tashi was curious and casually asked the servant beside him: "What is the butler doing?"

The servant looked at him strangely and replied: "I'm afraid they will be lazy. This is what the housekeeper always does."

Tashi realized that he had made a mistake and quickly explained: "I don't know this yet, I mean he was wasting his words!"

Wangqiu took out a snuff bottle, poured a little snuff on his fingernail, put it in front of his nose, inhaled it with enjoyment, and then let out an earth-shattering sneeze. Cool! A female slave was caught off guard, startled, and shuddered, and the tsampa on her apron fell away. Wangqiu glanced at her. When the slave girl saw this, she was so frightened that she begged for mercy: "Master Butler, I am not lazy. I...I, my legs were numb just now. I moved a little..."

Wangqiu ignored her at all and said lazily: "Here comes the whip!"

A slave ran over and handed him a whip. Wangqiu picked it up and shook it twice on the ground.

The female slave was so frightened that she knelt on the ground: "Master housekeeper... I really am not lazy."

Wangqiu said viciously: "You're afraid of being whipped, right? I won't whip you today, so why don't you give it up for dinner! I won't eat too much and make your legs numb."

Tashi couldn't stand it and shouted to Wangqiu: "Butler, are you trying to show off your authority?"

Wangqiu frowned, turned around quickly, and bowed down: "Young master, these scoundrels will not be punished for two days, but they will be punished early for three days. They are either lazy or slippery."

"I've been watching them. They weaved so many puds all morning, and those two hands wished they could turn into eight claws. They were never idle for a moment, but you were wandering around." After Tashi finished speaking, he rushed The female slaves waved their hands, "Everyone, please stand up."

The female slaves panicked, looked at each other, and did not dare to stand.

Tashi asked: "What's the matter? Didn't you hear what I said?" The female slaves couldn't believe their ears. They all grabbed the tsampa lumps on their aprons and stuffed them into their mouths. Then, they all stood up.

When Wangqiu saw this, he cursed: "You starve to death! There are no rules at all."

Tashi ordered Wangqiu: "From today on, you are not allowed to engage in such tricks. Whether it is Langsheng or Chaba, they are all members of our Dele Mansion. We, master and servant, can no longer be alienated from each other, let alone ourselves." People bully their own people, you hear?"

In front of his servant, Wangqiu had no choice but to agree: "La Sui."

Tashi said to the slaves who kept coming around: "Listen, if he dares to hit you again, just tell me!" After that, he turned around and left. Wangqiu followed dejectedly. The servants were confused, and it took them a long time to wake up. They started talking in low voices, why the young master has changed? He was not like this in the past. Our Dele family almost burned down, can the young master not change?

Tashi returned to the Buddhist hall and locked Wangqiu out. He couldn't help but be ecstatic, dancing and saying to himself: "It's great to be a young master! I let out a bad breath!... This B@st@ard, let me teach you a lesson today, hahaha, great!" He suddenly felt that Wangqiu was eavesdropping outside, so he immediately stopped laughing and leaned against the door to listen to what was going on outside.

Wangqiu stood outside the door, his face turned blue with anger. He cursed: "Bald Donkey, you really think you are a young master. How dare you lecture me in front of those animals? Wait and see how I punish you..." He looked up and saw Lorelei coming over. , Wangqiu was speechless.

Lorelei asked: "Your face is blue, what's wrong?"

Wangchuk covered it up and said, "I'm worried...that smelly lama won't be able to act like a young master."

Lorelei didn't want to go into details, so he looked back at the door of the Buddhist hall, and then said: "You are the host and he is the guest. Don't get your identities reversed."

Wangqiu heard this and secretly rejoiced: "Young lady taught you right. I am the host and he is the guest."

Lorelei turned and entered the Buddhist hall, followed by the maid who was holding some tea and a bottle of brandy in her hands. Tashi was a little at a loss: "No need, I quit drinking."

Lorelei was a little surprised, looked at him and said, "You are still angry with me."

"I'm chanting sutras for my master, how can I drink? Take it away!"

Lorelei waved to the maid, and the maid stepped back. Lorelei glanced at the envelope on the table and asked casually: "Are you writing a letter?"

Tashi thought that Lorelei must not be able to understand, so he deliberately pushed the letter in front of her: "Write a letter, this is in English. It has been a while since I came to Lhasa, and I want to send a message to my friends in India that they are safe."

Lorelei smiled without saying anything and took the envelope for him. Tashi folded the letter and put it inside.

"If you can't go out, let Wangqiu drop it off at the post office." Lorelei said.

"Okay." Tashi agreed and handed the letter to Lorelei.

"What did you do when you were in India?

"I am a wandering monk, visiting Buddhist sites, making friends, and studying hundreds of schools of thought."

"that's it?"

"Isn't this enough? I have spent a lot of energy studying hundreds of schools of thought. Sakyamuni Buddha's holy teachings, Nagarjuna's teachings, as well as Mahatma Gandhi, Louis Montesquieu, Robespierre, and Stalin , and Sun Yat-sen. Oh, do you know Sun Yat-sen? "

"Of course I know. Isn't he the president of the mainland?"

"I have studied Sun Yat-sen's thought, it's amazing."

"The current great president is the great emperor of the past. Of course he is great."

"That's different. In the past we were feudal monarchs, now we are democratically elected presidents..."

Lorelei interrupted him: "Whether he is the president or the emperor, in the eyes of us Lhasa people, they are all incarnations of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the father who protects all the noble and humble subjects in China." Upon hearing this, Tashi kept saying : "Yes, that's right."

Lorelei changed the subject: "I brought a photo album, you can look through it."

Tashi reached out to take it, looked through it, and asked, "Who are these people?"

"Weizang aristocrats who are related to our family. ...The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty canonized 175 aristocratic families in Lhasa. Over the past three hundred years, some aristocratic families have either lost their incense or been exterminated. There are also new nobles being added. Today, there are less than 200 nobles in the whole Tibet. Among them are our relatives, the master's colleagues, and the young master's friends. "

"Just these less than 200 families rule the entire Lhasa?"

"Nothing to make a fuss about, it's always been like this. This is also the small circle you need to socialize with in Lhasa. You need to know and be familiar with these people, including the relationship between them, whether they are in-laws, affiliates, political allies, enemies, etc. Know everything. Otherwise, you will be exposed."

Tashi flipped through it again and said sadly: "There are so many, the relationships between relatives are complicated..." Suddenly he heard movement outside the door, and the two looked at each other warily. Tashi was agile and jumped to the door and opened it suddenly.

A doll was dangling at the door, and Lan Ze pinched his throat and said, "I'm Lan Ze, and I miss my dad."

Tashi smiled. He knelt down and said, holding his voice, "Dad misses Lanze too."

Lanze stood up with a smile. She saw Lorelei sitting inside and asked, "Are you doing anything?"

Tashi pulled her: "Come in, daddy will play with you."

"Dad, there are many people flying kites in front of the Potala Palace, many, many kites."

"You want to go too?"

Lorelei took over the conversation: "Lanze, if you want to go, go ahead. Let the wet nurse take you. Don't crowd into crowded places. The plague outside hasn't stopped yet."

Lanze pouted and said, "But I don't have a kite. Last year's one was broken."

"Whatever you like, just ask the nanny to buy it for you. Just tell me what I said." Lorelei told her.

Tashi became more energetic: "The kites I bought are not fun, they are all the same. In this way, daddy can build a kite for you, okay?"

Lan Ze was surprised: "Really? Are you going to tie a kite for me?"

"Of course, what do you want?"

Lan Ze shook his little head and thought about it: "Butterflies, and little swallows."

"Okay. Lorelei, let's... fly kites today?" Tashi asked.

Seeing their happy faces, Lorelei had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll prepare the materials for you."

Tashi led Lanze to the roof to fly a kite. He quickly tied up a butterfly kite and painted it colorful and beautiful. Lan Ze clapped his hands happily. Lan Ze was very happy and kept laughing: "Dad, I want another one, I want a little swallow."

Lorelei stood on the corner of the roof and looked at them, feeling uncomfortable. Wangqiu lamented beside him: "Young lady, look at how pitiful the young lady is. She is so young that she can't tell that the person is a fake. She thinks a thief is her father, and she keeps calling her daddy." Lorelei was so moved by Wangqiu's words. Tearful eyes. Wangqiu said empathetically: "The young master is gone, and our family is at this juncture. The young mistress cannot save his soul. She has to pretend to be nonchalant in front of the servants, and she has to call the bald donkey young master the young master." short..."

Lorelei was extremely sentimental and stopped Wangqiu: "Stop talking." She lost her composure and turned around and got off the roof.

Lorelei only controlled his emotions after walking for a while in the corridor. She stopped and saw Wangqiu following behind, so she ordered: "Go and play with the lady. Ask Tashi to come down and continue to read the album." Wangqiu agreed, turned around and left.

Lorelei returned to the bedroom, feeling painful, nervous, confused, sad, and full of mixed feelings. She poured herself a glass of red wine, and the red wine glass in her hand reflected her own shadow and swayed around. Suddenly, Baxter Qimei appeared at the door, dressed in fine clothes and with a banana on his head. Lorelei turned to look at him, looking a little dazed. She couldn't help it, rushed over, threw herself into his arms, and started crying.

Standing at the door was Tashi. He was so frightened by Lorelei's actions that his body stiffened and he didn't know where to put his hands and feet: "Young lady, what's the matter with you?"

Lorelei couldn't help himself and burst into tears while holding Tashi. Tashi suddenly saw the beautiful Jeb dressed in costume appearing behind Lorelei, and he was stunned. Baxter Qimei stood not far away, looking at them with a mysterious smile. Tashi thought he was hallucinating, shook his head vigorously, and Baxter Qimei disappeared.

After a while, Lorelei finally came to her senses, and she pushed Tashi away. Looking at Tashi who was at a loss, Lorelei saw Baxter Qimei standing next to him. Tashi was still stiff. Baxter Qimei patted him and he came back to his senses. Lorelei was stunned by the scene in front of her, and she called out affectionately: "Master, Baxter Qimei." Baxter Qimei looked at her and smiled, his shadow gradually blurred, and finally merged with Tashi.

Tashi couldn't adapt to Lorelei's actions and expression, so he hid on the card mat aside and sat down. Lorelei adjusted her mood, she finally woke up and ran out as if running away. Tashi was confused and arranged his clothes haphazardly. Suddenly, Baxter Qimei sat on the other end of the card mat. With the same expression on his face, he picked up the wine bottle and poured red wine. Tashi was in a daze. The beautiful Jeb smiled at him and disappeared. A glass of poured red wine was placed quietly on the table.

When Tashi returned to the Buddhist hall, he thought about the sutras, but he could no longer calm down. He was the son of a poor Chapa. When he was seven years old, he followed his master to enter the Duoji Lin Monastery. He spent the first half of his life in monasteries and wandering around, rarely having contact with women. Today Lorelei threw herself into his arms. He was a little distracted and had an indescribable feeling.

Lorelei was also at a loss. She went straight to the roof, only to find that there was no one on it. Her daughter and the kite in the sky were gone. She looked around and shouted wildly: "Where is Lanze, where is my daughter?" The servant told her that the young lady and the housekeeper had gone to fly a kite by the Lhasa River. Lorelei heard this and hurried to the river.

The kite that Tashi had tied was floating in the sky beside the Lhasa River. Lanze pulled the kite string and was very happy. Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the kite fell down and hung on the tree. Lan Ze was so anxious that he wanted to cry. Wangqiu quickly stepped forward and pulled the kite string hard. Lan Ze cried: "Be gentle and break it."

Wangqiu said impatiently: "Isn't it just a broken kite? Miss, no more, no more, I'll buy you a new one."

Lan Ze started to cry: "I don't want a new one, I want this one. This is the one my dad gave me."

Wangqiu had no choice but to step on the servant's shoulders and climb up the tree. Lan Ze stood on the ground holding the doll, looking up at them. At this time, she heard someone shouting behind her, so she looked back curiously. Not far from the river, a group of slaves wearing rags and carrying simple luggage came towards this side. The Potala Palace in the distance was clearly visible, and they were a little reluctant to leave. The leader on the horse, holding a whip in his hand, shouted: "Hurry up, drive away if you don't hold me, you are a mule!"

A servant came to his horse and asked: "Master, please allow us a moment to kowtow to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the Potala Palace."

"What are you talking about? We can't reach Yangbajing tonight, and we all have to be eaten by wolves." The leader said viciously.

The servant became stubborn and ignored him. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the Potala Palace. The other slaves, the bold ones, followed his example and knelt down to kowtow, while the timid ones stood there dumbfounded. The leader got angry and cursed: "The slaves of the Sterling family are just different. They are stubborn and have the same virtues as your masters." He threw the riding crop to the ground and said to a slave: "Jiangba, whip it for me!" Look how dare they dawdle!"

The manservant named Jamba was at a loss and picked up the whip and gave it back to the leader.

The leader was furious: "I asked you to whip them! Go quickly! Don't let any of those lying on the ground go! Beat them to death!"

Qiangba interceded on their behalf: "Master, please grant their wishes. If you leave today, you will never see the Potala Palace again in this life."

"How dare you disobey me and ask you to smoke? Just go ahead! Keep nagging me!"

"Master, I have always been beaten. I have never hit anyone else."

The leader jumped down from his horse, picked up his whip and swore at the same time: "You were beaten, I will beat you to death, I will beat you to death, I told you not to listen to me!" He beat Qianba violently.

Jianba's face was injured and his nose was swollen and bleeding.

The leader went to beat the slave who was kowtowing on the ground again: "You lazy fools and lost dogs in Lhasa will know how powerful I am when you get to Amdo."

Lanze came over with the doll in her arms. She saw Jianba with a bleeding nose and handed her a handkerchief: "Here, your face is covered with blood. Wipe it away."

Jianba looked at the aristocratic lady in front of him and said timidly: "Miss, I don't dare." He picked up his Pulu and wiped his face. Lanze watched Qianba finish wiping his face and asked, "Does it hurt?" Qianba shook his head: "I was born to prepare for the beating. I don't know what pain is."

The leader beat the slaves who were kowtowing desperately, but the slaves ignored him and continued to kowtow. He was so angry that he raised his whip and was about to hit someone again, but he saw his horse walking away along the grass on the river beach. The leader chased after him, grabbed the horse's reins, whipped at the horse, and vented his anger. The horse was frightened, broke away from the reins, turned around and ran away.

As soon as Wangqiu climbed up the tree, he saw Lanze and Qiangba in the distance. He shouted in panic: "Miss, miss, come back quickly, come back quickly, stay away from them!" He ignored the kite and rolled down the tree. Wangqiu was hurt by the fall, and he grinned and got angry at the servant: "Go call the lady and stay away from those dirty ghosts, so as not to catch the plague." The servant helped him get up from the ground and ran towards Lanze.

Lan Ze heard the shouting and walked back. At this moment, the frightened horse came running towards him. Lan Ze ran away in fright, and the doll in his arms fell to the ground. The frightened horse ran over and stepped on the doll.

In the distance, Lorelei came with two maids. She saw the scene in front of her. The frightened horse was running towards Lanze. Lanze was stunned and stood there without daring to move. At the critical moment, Qiangba rushed up from behind and hugged Lanze over. Jingma kicked Jianba down and stepped over him.

Lorelei and Wangqiu rushed over from different directions, and she picked up Lan Ze on the ground. Lan Ze was so frightened that he burst into tears. Lorelei was also frightened and almost cried. She asked anxiously: "Lan Ze, are you okay?"

Wangqiu also ran by and touched Lanze's arms and legs: "Miss, are you hurt?"

Lorelei got angry at Wangqiu: "Stay away!"

Wangqiu knew that he was in trouble, and his face turned pale with fear: "You deserve to die, my lady's kite is hanging on the tree, I will go and give it to you..."

Lorelei responded with a big mouth, hitting Wangqiu in the face. Wangqiu quickly begged for mercy: "Young lady, I was wrong."

Lorelei led Lanze and asked her to take two steps. Lanze walked a few steps while crying. Lorelei saw that there was nothing strange about her and felt relieved.

At this time, the leader also ran over: "Madam, the horse was frightened. Did it hurt the lady?"

Wangqiu rushed forward and said with evil anger: "You country bumpkin from Anduo, you are looking for death! If you scare our young lady, I will kill you!"

The leader bowed repeatedly and did not dare to reply. The maid went over and picked up Lanze's doll from the ground. The doll's clothes were dirty and torn from the horses.

Lorelei thought of Qianba and saw that he was still curled up on the ground. He said to the servant: "Pick him up and ask him how he is."

The servant helped Qianba up. Qianba couldn't straighten his back, but asked: "Miss...are you okay?"

Lorelei looked at him and asked: "Where are you kicking?"

Qiangba bent down even lower and almost fell down: "Madam, I was stepped on by a horse. It's okay."

Lorelei told Wangqiu: "Give him some money, thank you." Wangqiu didn't want to give it, so he prevaricated: "Young lady, I took the young lady out to play, but I didn't bring any money."

When the leader saw the servants coming around, he shouted to everyone: "Go quickly, go quickly, let me chase the horses!"

A servant supported Jianba and walked away shakily. As Qiangba walked, he looked back at Lanze and grinned at her with difficulty.

Lan Ze suddenly shouted: "I won't let him go, grandma, I won't let him go!"

"He is someone else's slave, how can he not let them go?"

"I don't care, I just won't let him go!"

Lorelei immediately reacted: "Wangqiu, go and tell the man Dotou An to buy him." Wangqiu agreed, chased after him, and bought Qianba.

Back at Dele Mansion, Wangchuk threw Qiangba's dirty and torn clothes to the shed in the corner of the yard and said to Qiangba, "You can live here! Miss, let you stay and save your life. Remember to be grateful."

Qiangba bowed quickly: "La Sui. Thank you, Mr. Butler."

Lanze ran over, took Qianba's hand and said, "Butler, let him stay in my room."

"You can't do that, Miss. He's soiling your house."

Lorelei heard it on the steps in the distance and ordered: "Wangqiu, if the lady likes it, just follow her."

Wangqiu had no choice but to change Qiangba into clean clothes and take him to Lanze's room. Lan Ze saw Qianba coming in and greeted him with a smile. Qiangba bent down and stepped forward: "Miss, please give me your orders."

"Are you still hurting?"

"It doesn't hurt. It's gone."

Lanze grabbed a handful of British candies and stuffed them into Jumba's hand: "I don't believe it. Here it is, it won't hurt if you eat it."

Qianba held the candy, his eyes widened, and he suddenly started crying. Lan Ze didn't understand, so he turned around and asked the wet nurse: "What's wrong with him? I didn't bully him?"

The wet nurse came forward to persuade Qianba: "The young lady has a heart of Buddha. She treats our servants as human beings. Please stop crying."

After hearing what she said, Jianba dared to raise his head and looked at Lanze gratefully: "I have never had a sweet mouth in my life, miss. I don't dare to ask for this sugar slave."

"Then you eat it just once. I order you to open your mouth."

"If the young lady asks you to eat it, you can try it, and it will not be in vain." The wet nurse said. Jianba was so moved that he knelt on the ground, holding the candy, and started to cry.

Seeing that the lady didn't have any instructions, Wangqiu turned around the corridor and rushed into the Buddhist hall angrily. As soon as he saw Tashi, he started to curse: "What are you doing wrong? Why are you flying a kite? You almost lost the lady's." Life!" Tashi was stunned, wondering where he was coming from. He glanced at Wangqiu, ignored him, and continued to chant.

Seeing that Tashi ignored him, Wangqiu became even more angry: "Stop, stop, stop chanting. Just because of your broken kite, I got a big slap in the face."

Tashi seemed to understand something and said to Wangqiu: "Come here."

As Wangqiu approached, Tashi raised his hand and spoke loudly again.

Wangqiu was shocked: "How dare you hit me! You bald donkey!"

Tashi was also angry, jumped up and yelled: "You are a bully, what are you yelling at me for?" He grabbed Wangqiu's neck collar and continued to yell: "Miss is really going to be hurt by a horse, I want you." Damn it!"

"You really think you have become the young master of Dele Mansion!"

"You think I'm not the young master of Dele Mansion?" He grabbed Wangqiu to the window, pushed open the window, and said loudly, "Tell the people in the yard that I am not the young master! Tell me!" Downstairs The servants heard the commotion upstairs and gathered around. When Wangqiu saw this, he was shocked. He had to act in front of the slave and said with a smile: "Master, you are right to teach me a lesson. This slave is ignorant and deserves to be scolded! You are right to scold me!"

Tashi didn't want to get entangled with him, so he let go and left.

Wangqiu shouted at the people under the window: "It's all gone, it's all gone, what are you looking at!" He closed the window.

Tashi glared at Wangqiu and said, "I know! You haven't taken me seriously since I entered this house. You look down on others. I tell you, from today on, if you make me unhappy again, Look how I clean you up! ...Get out!" Wangqiu was so angry that he had no choice but to go out angrily.

Lorelei is sewing a set of ultra-small Tibetan clothes in the bedroom, with fine stitching and gorgeous color combinations. The wet nurse saw that she had finished sewing the clothes and handed over the prepared Lhasa doll. Lorelei put the clothes on the doll, looked at it in his hand, and was satisfied. Lan Ze ran over. When she saw the doll, she asked puzzledly: "Grandma, why does the doll wear Tibetan clothes?"

Lorelei smiled and said, "She is your little sister, so of course she has to wear Tibetan clothes. Doesn't she look good?"

"It looks good." Lanze took the doll, held her in his arms, and coaxed her to sleep. Lorelei looked at his daughter with happiness on his face. Qiangba stood at the door and saw Lanze's cute look. His eyes were moist and he actually shed tears. Lorelei glanced at him and felt unhappy: "Jiangba, what's the matter with you? The injury on your body is not healed yet?"

Jianba was so frightened that he didn't dare to say anything and stood bent over with his tongue out. Lorelei suddenly remembered something and asked, "What were you doing at Mr. Kinse's house? Why haven't I seen you?"

Jianba lowered his head and replied: "Feed the horses in the yard, mop the floor in the house, and do whatever the master asks you to do."

"Are all the slaves bought by the Ando-headed man today from the Sterling family?"

"Yes, there are some from the manor and some from the house, which were auctioned by the Kashag. That Anduo bought us for five yuan and went to northern Tibet..." He choked up and said no. Go down.

"Are you married?"

Jamba nodded.

"Where was she sold?"

"My wife and one-year-old child were ordered by the housekeeper of Rinchen Mansion."

Lorelei was surprised: "It's true. Fortunately, you didn't leave Lhasa. If good luck comes, you and the two of you can still see each other."

Wangqiu left Delek Mansion early in the morning and hurried to the temple, because today was the day when he would make an offering to the deity. When he entered the Buddhist temple, a large butter lamp was already burning brightly, which was very spectacular. Wangqiu knelt in front of the Buddha, kowtowed, burned incense, and then put a stack of Tibetan banknotes into the merit box.

Luosang appeared at the gate of the temple at some unknown time, looking at him. Wangqiu also saw him and looked at each other. Wangqiu thought for a while, neither humble nor arrogant, and walked out bravely. Luosang stopped him and said kindly: "Steward Wangqiu, I have been waiting for you here for a long time."

Wangqiu was puzzled: "Are you looking for me? You don't dare to take it seriously."

"I know you are coming here today, so I specially invited you to sit in the sweet tea house."

"I never go to places like that."

"Steward Wangqiu, don't take advantage of me. That's what happened. When your master held a funeral, the Kashag decree was a bit abrupt. As for me, I followed him in a daze, but my father Taught a lesson."
