Chapter 9 Chapter 9 Tibetan Mastiff Knows Its Owner Is the Nature of Dogs

It was already midnight when Tudenggrad came home humming a ditty.To find the website, please search on Baidu + He came to the door of the bedroom and found that Zhandui's belt was already hanging on the door. He knew that his brother was in Zhuoga's room.Gele hesitated for a moment, and called tentatively in front of the door: "Zhuoga, brother, are you asleep?" Zhandui responded in the room: "Is there something wrong?" "There is something important that I need to discuss with my elder brother." After Gele finished speaking, he sat down on the mat. After a while, Zhandui came out of the room, while holding his robe, he took off the belt on the door and tied it up.He asked, "Second brother, what's the matter?"

Gele waited for Zhandui to sit firmly before saying, "Brother, what do you think of the summer banquet at Guo Cha's house?" Zhandui pondered for a while and said, "Not bad." "The annual Zhongji Summer Banquet is large in scale and huge in cost, enough to bankrupt nobles with poor family backgrounds. I guess the expenses for Master Guo Cha's hosting this summer banquet are a bit out of reach." "He wants to do it decently, but he is afraid of being laughed at by everyone, so naturally he has to risk everything." "I heard the domestic servants were complaining that their highland barley wine was replaced with milk dregs water."

"Really, the nobles are hard to speak, but their domestic servants dare to say anything ugly. Isn't this disgusting, Mr. Guo Cha?" "Brother, we should send 800 silver coins to Guo Cha's mansion overnight to help him deal with emergencies." At this time, Zhuoga came out in his pajamas, heard the conversation between the two brothers, and said dissatisfiedly: "Guo Cha's family is holding a summer banquet, what are you worrying about?" Geler explained: "It's the icing on the cake, which one won't; how many people can there be to give charcoal in the snow? When others are in trouble, it is a good opportunity to make friends."

Zhandui agreed and said: "Second brother is right, he will be grateful to us for the rest of his life. I will get the money and send it to him in person." After that, he got up and left. Seeing that Zhuoga was still unhappy, Gele teased her: "Look at your pouty lips, you can hang a pair of boots." Zhuoga said angrily: "I hate it, I'm going to bed." Gele grabbed her and said mysteriously, "Eight hundred silver coins are not in vain. I'll give you the wife of the police chief, Dangdang, a fourth-rank officer. How about it?" Zhuoga's eyes lit up, and he asked suspiciously, "Really?"

"The only thing left is for Master Guo Cha to have a word in Kashag." Zhuoga was happy, and threw himself on Gele.Gele carried her into the bedroom, and hung his belt on the door frame with his hands back. To Lausanne's surprise, at ten o'clock the next morning, Tashi, Deji and others showed up at the summer banquet on time, and the two groups entered the tent provocatively.Tashi, Luosang, and two noble young masters, Longse and Tenzin, sat at the poker table.Zhandui, Gele, Zhuoga and everyone gathered around to watch the excitement, while Deji sat on a distant card mat and looked at this side, hiding his inner tension.

The maid Yang Zhuo brought Luosang a bowl of highland barley wine. Luosang took a sip, looked around, and picked up the dice to adjust the wind.He neatly arranged the cards in a row, put them in place with a snap, and looked up at Tashi.Tashi did not show weakness, looked at Luosang, and stacked the cards. After one round, Tashi lost.He tossed out a stack of silver dollars, and shouted, "Again! I can't believe it!" Luosang taunted him in front of everyone: "Whether you are a Bodhisattva or a monster, I must show your original shape!" The four of them began to shuffle, stack, draw, and play cards again. After a round, Tashi lost badly, and there were very few silver coins left at his table.Luosang stared at Tashi with a provocative gaze: "I never expected that I, Luosang Qunpei, could win money in front of you. Master Dele, after a trip to India, you can't even play mahjong? Are you bewitched?"

Tashi smiled and said, "It's only a lap, it's early." Luosang said disdainfully: "At first glance, you are a melon egg. You may be sure, and you are all lip service! The young lady of the Dele Mansion will pay you money, right? Well, we will pierce her silver bag, and we will go back to you." See what's under you." Deji couldn't hold his breath, got up from the mat, and wanted to rush over.Gele stopped her and said in a low voice, "Ajia, brother-in-law can handle it." Sure enough, Tashi showed his power, and he threatened the nobles who were watching: "Some people want to occupy the Dele Mansion, and they want to call the black ones white, but this is not the way to play, everyone is right?"

Lausanne asked, "What do you mean?" Tashi pointed at Shangxia's family and asked, "Who are they? Master Tenzin, your cousin, this, Master Longse is your elder brother's brother-in-law. The three of you are relatives. In this game, three against one, evil tiger It’s hard to beat the pack of wolves, you might as well go to my house and grab it!” Everyone felt that what Tashi said made sense, and they began to talk about it.Luosang looked at the money in Tashi's hand, and said confidently: "Okay, change. You let Deji serve, and I will convince you all!" Tashi shook his head: "It's a man's business, what's the point of taking a woman." He raised his hand and threw a card out.The mahjong tiles flew towards Gele, and Gele reached out to catch it.He smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, you are targeting my general."

Tashi asked, "Gele, are you not afraid of offending the Rinchen Mansion?" Gele came to the table and said calmly, "Master Rinchen, it's time to make a fuss, but I think we're going to break up today. Let's leave it at that. Let's call it a day." Luosang persisted: "Do I care about the silver coins on the table? I want to give everyone an explanation. Tudengrad, you know better than me whether he is your brother-in-law. Let me tell you, if you don't achieve your goal, I will I promise not to give up." Seeing this, Gele had no choice but to pat Master Tenzin on the poker table and let him give up his seat.A new game started again. Playing cards and throwing dice, the four people on the table were nervous and not at ease.Gele glanced at his next player, knowing what he was going to do, and threw out his card: "Second Cake."

Young Master Longse stretched out his hand to take the card: "Eat." He flipped out the extra cake with his hand. Tashi pushed down the cards: "It's a draw." In each of the following rounds, Gele dismantled his cards and gave Tashi a confession.Tashi kept playing cards, and the silver coins in his hand piled up higher and higher.The atmosphere at the scene was suddenly tense, which alarmed the people in the surrounding tents, and everyone gathered around to watch the excitement.Wangchuk stood next to Deji, and the two finally showed relief on their faces.Seeing that the situation was not good, the servants of the Renqin Mansion sneaked out and went straight to the tent of the guest of honor.Rinchen was resting inside, when he saw a servant rushing in, he asked, "How is it?"

The servant reported: "The silver dollars brought by the young master have been lost, and the beautiful Jeb turned the tables." Rinchen got up and went to the tent door to look around.The flower tent on the opposite side was surrounded by a sea of ​​people, who were booing from time to time.While Rinchen was thinking, a ball of paper flew in from behind him and landed in front of him.Rinchen was startled, and looked back. The tent cloth was blown by the wind and there was a gap, but there was no one there.Rinqin picked up the paper ball, unfolded it, and a smile appeared on his face.Rinqin put the note near the butter lamp and burned it. Tashi kept winning cards, playing dice, and cashiering rounds.Luosang turned pale in a hurry.The people watching the battle also became excited, and the scene became even hotter. Young Master Longse played a card: "Yaoji." Tashi responded, "It's made." The old lady of the Longse family who had been standing on the sidelines watching the battle was angry, she stretched out her hand to grab Longse's ear: "Playing mahjong is for fun, how can you lose half the manor in one hand, you come to Lhasa to gamble your life! " Long Se shouted: "Grandma, ears, ears." "You bet on me too, go home! Shame on me!" Long Se was very embarrassed, so he followed the old lady off the mahjong table and walked away.Everyone burst into laughter. Luosang also got up, and pretended to say: "Now three are missing and one is missing, so we can't play anymore." "If you want to leave, it's not that easy! I'm a Bodhisattva or a monster, you can tell everyone clearly." Tashi said. Seeing Tashi's provocation, Luosang said unconvinced, "You think I'm leaving?" "I thought you were going back to Rinchen Mansion to get the silver, right?" "Yes, how can I play without money?" "No money, just written evidence. Who spread the rumors about me in Lhasa? It can't be finished, and there must be a conclusion today." Luosang's eyes turned red: "Let's establish a written proof? I, Luosang, haven't conceded yet. Next, even if it lasts for three days and three nights, I will accompany you to the end!" The people present were about to boo, when they suddenly saw Rinchen Kalon coming in, everyone fell silent, and a way came out.Rinchen reprimanded Luosang: "Did you lose? Or can't afford to lose?" Embarrassed, Luosang stood up and asked, "Dad, why are you here?" Rinchen looked around the scene and said, "Let's come here today..." Gele stepped forward to smooth things over: "Master Rinchen, your young master and my brother-in-law are fighting each other. If this goes on, the enmity between your two families will be like twisted woolen threads. It's hard to tell, and it's going on and on." Rinchen snorted, turned and left.Lausanne quickly followed out. Tashi also got up and left the table, and stormed out of the tent. Deji chased after him and asked, "Are we leaving like this?" I rolled into the ditch with the donkey." Deji suppressed a smile: "Today, that kid is cheaper." "Are you still angry? You won a lot of silver dollars from him, enough to buy half of the manor." "You did a great job today." Tashi stopped in his tracks and saw that no one told Deji, "Tell Wangchuk to send the silver coins we won to Gele. We won't keep any of them." Deji thought for a while and asked, "How do you know that the second brother-in-law will help you?" "I don't know. But I know, you are his sister-in-law." Tashi knew in his heart that he took a risky move today, and his level of mahjong was far different from that of Mei Jiebu.It is impossible to narrow this gap overnight, but with the help of noble people, he can still get away with it. Naturally, he thought of Tudenggrad. Rinqin and Luosang returned to the mansion angrily, and Congmei went up to meet him, took Rinqin's hat, and asked the slave girl to take off Rinqin's official uniform and put on casual clothes.Unconvinced, Luosang said cursingly, "Tudenggrad, it was this Tudenggrad who came out to disrupt the situation and ruined my good business." Rinchen said reproachfully, "You, knowing that there will be no result on the mahjong table, you accept it if it doesn't turn out well." "I can't swallow this breath." "Using loyalty! Tudengele is Deji's brother-in-law, you should have thought of it long ago." "Master Longse is still brother's brother-in-law. Those hands smell..." When Cong Mei heard this, her face darkened, and she said, "You are so incompetent, can you blame my brother?" After speaking, she threw the things in her hand on the card mat, turned and left. Rinqin looked at Scallion's beautiful back and got angry at Luosang: "Your sister-in-law is right, you can't do anything by yourself, you drag your feet and always push the responsibility to others. This is your biggest problem!" Lausanne muttered: "This beautiful Jeb is not good at playing mahjong, his skills are unfamiliar, and everyone present can see it." Rinchen was furious: "How dare you argue! The people present want to see the evidence of fake Qimei Jiebu, have you exposed it? He won hundreds of silver dollars from you with unfamiliar techniques. If he is familiar with the techniques, it will be fine !...Our Renqin Mansion has become the laughing stock of the summer banquet!" Luosang was scolded and kept silent.Rinchen paced back and forth in the room, and suddenly said confidently: "Wait, tomorrow, I will find my own way. . . . Luosang, get out." Luosang came out of the building depressed, and saw Yang Zhuo who was carrying the child on his back and holding a jar of highland barley wine in his hand.He got angry: "You, come here, did you pour the wine for me today?" Yang Zhuo was terrified, bowed his head and said yes.Luosang looked at her face and cursed: "Frustrated, you look depressed." He took the highland barley wine in Yang Zhuo's hand and poured it on her face, and then cursed: "What kind of bullshit wine did you brew! I can drink it so much! Nausea, dizziness, can you play mahjong without losing?" Yang Zhuo was aggrieved, and said timidly: "The wine at the summer banquet was made by Mr. Guo Cha's house, not by me." Luosang became angry: "If you dare to talk back, I'll kill you!" He started beating Yang Zhuo.Yang Zhuo's daughter was so frightened that she cried.Luosang was even more annoyed: "Little brat, make noise to death, cry again, I'll kill you!" Yang Zhuo was so frightened that he knelt down and begged for mercy: "Master, please forgive me." The housekeeper led Young Master Longse over, and upon seeing this, he persuaded Luosang: "Second Young Master, calm down, don't let your lowly servant ruin your mood." Luosang looked unhappy and asked, "Why are you here?" "I lost a lot of money by following you today. Didn't we agree that if I win, I will pay, and if I lose, you will pay me?" "You beat me so badly, you still have the nerve to ask for money." "Hey, Second Young Master, I reminded you yesterday that Qimei Jeb is one of the best mahjong players in Lhasa, but you just said that he is a fake." "I said he was a fake, and he was a fake. Otherwise, how could he have lost in the first place." "Just at the beginning, is that called losing? It's luring the enemy to go deep. We were fooled by him. Second young master, I didn't bring much money when I came from Shannan, and I lost it all. My mother scolded me Well, I’m so scared that I dare not go back to the mansion.” "I want money, no." "You can't say nothing." "Why are you so annoying? I'll say it again, I don't want money! If you really want it, take those unlucky slaves away. There are two here, and there are five more in the house. I just bought them. for you!" "How much is this worth... Such a small child is also one?" "Would you like it? Butler, these newcomers are unlucky. I get annoyed just looking at them, let him take them away, take them all away!" After speaking, Luosang left angrily. Long Se was so angry that he couldn't help it, and shouted: "Why are you playing a rascal?" The steward came over to persuade him: "I said uncle, the second young master is angry, so please don't mess with him, servant, take him away quickly, otherwise, It's gone." Longse was helpless, stomping his feet and said: "Luosang, I know you. Housekeeper, you give me their personal deeds. I will take them away now." Yang Zhuo was dumbfounded and stood still.Long Se glared at her and said, "Let's go, you belong to me. It's my fault!" In the evening, Gangzhu and seven or eight servants from the suburban manor came back from the field. They entered the yard and put the farm tools in their hands aside.A servant who had advanced into the kitchen suddenly ran out of the room and shouted, "Something happened, something happened." Everyone was startled, Gangzhu hurriedly asked: "What's the matter?" The servant pointed to the stove and said, "Go and have a look, something has happened." Gang Zhu and others rushed into the stove, and what they saw frightened them.Two female slaves who cook are covered with tsampa bags and tied to the pillars.Gangzhu rushed forward, pulled the bag off, and asked eagerly, "What's the matter? Who did it?" The female slave cried and said, "We were making tea when suddenly two people broke in and tied us up here..." "Who? What do they look like?" "I don't know, before I saw it clearly, I was covered in a tsampa bag." The dog-feeding servant ran in from the outside, and said with a sad face, "Master Butler, it's not good...I can't survive..." Gangzhu yelled at him: "What's the matter? I was surprised." The dog-feeding servant pointed to the yard and said, "Tibetan mastiff, master, that Tibetan mastiff...is lost." Gangzhu was taken aback, and said: "Not good!" He rushed out of the kitchen and ran towards Lhasa city. Wangchuk was wandering around the courtyard of Delek Mansion, when he saw Gangzhu rushing towards him, he stepped forward to stop him: "Hurry up, is there a ghost chasing you from behind?" Gang Zhu said out of breath, "Master Butler, it's not good..." "Say something frustrating, what's wrong?" "Young Master's Tibetan Mastiff was stolen." When Wangchuk heard this, he raised his whip angrily and whipped him: "It's a trivial matter, you have come here to bother the master." Gangzhu explained: "That...that Tibetan mastiff is a rare item for the young master." "No matter how rare it is, it's still a beast. I know, if the young lady is happy someday, I'll tell her, you can go back." Just as Gangzhu was about to leave, Deji appeared on the steps. She asked, "Gangzhu, it's so late, what's the matter?" Wangchuk immediately reported, "That dog is lost. Young Mistress, don't worry about it. Tomorrow, I will go to the manor to have a look, and take people to search nearby." "The Tibetan mastiff is lost? Isn't it just a dog, don't be cruel to them." Tashi also came out. Hearing Wangchuk's words, he asked vigilantly, "What's missing?" Deji replied: "The dog in the suburban manor." Tashi was surprised: "That Tibetan mastiff?" He slapped his forehead and shouted: "It's broken!" Deji suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem, she turned her face and asked Tashi: "Do you think... Rinchen and the others stole the dog?" Tashi said angrily: "It must be, it must be!" The stolen Tibetan Mastiff was in the yard of the Rinchen Mansion at this time. Rinchen, Luosang, the mayor of Nyima and several officials were watching it. The Tibetan Mastiff didn't recognize them and kept barking.Rinchen said confidently: "All the nobles in Lhasa know this dog. Didn't it save Qimei Jebu's life?" Master Nima agreed: "That's right, because of this matter, Jeb even entertained guests for three days, and specially asked the lama to name it... Invincible General, and we all went that day." "Let this invincible general recognize its master tomorrow!" Luo Sang gloated and said, "Jeb, who is so beautiful, can deceive people, but he can't deceive dogs! Dad, you are really my father, why did you think of such a trick?" Rinchen laughed loudly: "I didn't think of it, God helped me!" Wangchuk followed Tashi and Deji back to the living room. He beat his chest and stamped his feet, and said regretfully, "Young Mistress, I really regret that I didn't kill that dog and leave the root of this trouble." "Just be quiet for a while, what's the use of talking like this now." Deji said. "It's not too late to kill it now. The Tibetan Mastiff must be in the Rinchen Mansion. It knows me and won't bite. I sneaked in and poisoned it to death..." Tashi shook his head and said, "You underestimate them too much. The Rinchen Mansion has been heavily guarded for a long time. Can you get in? Besides, will they hide the Tibetan mastiff in the Rinchen Mansion? It seems that there is no escape from the disaster." La!" At this time, a dog roared outside the courtyard.The people in the room suddenly became tense, and Deji ordered: "Wangchuk, go and have a look first." Wangchuk agreed and went out.Tashi came to the window and looked down.I saw a servant coming in with a messenger, Wangchuk went up to meet him, said something to him, and the messenger left.After a while, Wangchuk came back with a post. Deji asked, "What's going on?" Wangchuk reported: "It was the post from the municipal yamen. The person who sent the post said that there was a Tibetan mastiff running around outside the city, almost hurting people. The municipal yamen sent someone to catch it. It should be The invincible general in our house, he asked the young master to have a dog test tomorrow." Tashi was a little surprised: "Why... Lord Nima?" Deji breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's fine if it's not Rinchen. Wangchuk, you don't have to wait until tomorrow, you can get the dog back now." "Wangchuk, don't go. This post calls me to go. If I don't go, you will definitely not get it back." Tashi said. "Why?" Deji asked puzzled. "Our Tibetan Mastiff was obviously stolen, but the post said that it was picked up outside the city. Isn't this a lie? This post was obviously sent by Rinchen with the help of Lord Nima. On the way back, I was still thinking, today Renchen Master Qin has not shown up, this is not normal. It turns out that he is plotting the next conspiracy. Renqin invited me to have a dog examination in the name of the municipal office, but I refused to go. First, he broke etiquette, and second, he despised Lord Nima. This We cannot afford the crime.” "You go, that Tibetan mastiff doesn't recognize you. If you touch it, it will tear you apart!" Tashi was really embarrassed, and said desperately: "I fight wits and courage with people, I compete smarter and braver, but I fight with dogs, and I'm still a Tibetan mastiff. What should I fight for? Tomorrow's catastrophe, I can't make it through! All in Lhasa Any aristocrat would know that Jeb was scared of his own dog, it's ridiculous." Tashi returned to the Buddhist hall and sat in front of the altar to chant scriptures. The butter lamp on the table was swaying in the wind, erratic.He looked up at the ferocious Yamantaka, knowing that the situation was over.He got up and took out the stone carving of the double-faced Buddha, looked at it again and again, and the words of Duojilin Living Buddha sounded in his ears: "Stinky boy, if you become another person, you will save many suffering people." Tashi was noncommittal shook his head. He began to pack his luggage, and put the English version of "Three People's Principles" and an English version of "Shelley's Poems" and one in the package.Then, he said to himself: "Young Mistress, it seems that I can't help you." Deji paced restlessly in the bedroom, her hands constantly twisting a rosary.Wangchuk stood aside, helpless.Deji twisted the rosary and somehow it broke, and the beads scattered all over the ground.Deji was surprised and said, "This... this is an ominous sign." Wangchuk sighed, leaned closer and said, "Young Mistress, let's go." "What did you say?" "It's a disaster that can't be avoided! Tibetan mastiffs recognize their masters. It's natural. No matter how clever Lama Tashi is, the young master's Tibetan mastiffs won't regard him as the master. Young lady, instead of being in fear all day long in Lhasa, we might as well just leave. " "Go, where are you going?" "I've prepared a way out for you." Deji was surprised and looked at Wangchuk. "Young Mistress, I have sold part of my family property into silver dollars behind your back, and it has been remitted to India through the British post office, and stored in the account of the Dele's caravan. The money is enough for us to spend a lifetime in India." Wangchuk cautiously said. Say. "Why didn't you tell me about such a big deal." Deji asked. "Damn the slave, I want to share your worries." Deji warned him: "This is the end of this matter. From now on, you are not allowed to make decisions on everything...Go out." Wangchuk stood still and said pleadingly, "Young Mistress, please sympathize with the painstaking efforts of the servants." Deji said sharply: "You take me for a fool, get out!" Seeing that Deji was really angry, Wangchuk stopped talking and backed out. Deji was desperate, she picked up the silver hand mirror from the dressing table, and saw her lonely and helpless face from inside.Seeing things and thinking about others makes me even sadder.Dej opened a drawer and took out a fine British pistol.She looked and looked, made up her mind, and began to load the bullets quietly, one, two... The voices of Jamba and Lanze came from outside the window, they were playing in the yard.Deji came to the window and saw her innocent daughter downstairs, her heart almost broke. In the yard, Qiangba chased Lan Ze and said, "Miss, it's getting late, it's time to go to bed, go back." Lan Ze ran and said capriciously: "No, I'll play hide-and-seek with you. I'll close my eyes. You should hide quickly." Qiangba coaxed her: "Miss, go back to sleep, you want to play, I will play with you tomorrow." Deji came over, and she said: "If she wants to play, let her play, and have a good time tonight." Lan Ze heard this, ran over happily, hugged Deji's thigh and said, "Grandma, Can you play hide and seek with me?" Deji forced a smile: "Okay, Mom, close your eyes and hide." Lan Ze saw Deji closed her eyes in the middle of the yard, and she quickly ran away. "Have you hidden it? Lanze, have you hidden it..." Deji couldn't restrain her emotions as she spoke. Tears streamed down her face and her voice was choked up. Tashi came out of the building wearing lama clothes and carrying a bag. He saw Deji standing with his back in the yard, dodging behind a pillar.Suddenly Lan Ze's voice came from behind: "Dad, where are you going?" Tashi was startled, and quickly appeared, and said in a disguised way, "I'm not going anywhere." Hearing this, Deji opened her eyes. Although her back was turned to Tashi, she understood.Tashi got a quick wit, pulled up his monk robe, and said to Lan Ze: "Come here, hide quickly." Lan Ze got into Tashi's monk robe, and then shouted: "Hide well." Deji looked around in the yard as if he was serious, and finally came to Tashi and asked, "Have you seen Lan Ze?" Tashi deliberately said loudly: "No." Deji turned around and walked away, Lan Ze couldn't help but yelled: "Meow..." Deji stopped and turned around.Lan Ze got out from under the monk's robe, saw Deji bursting into tears, and asked puzzledly, "Grandma, why are you crying?" "It's okay. Grandma narrowed her eyes...Qiangba, take Lan Ze to sleep." Qiangba took Lan Ze away. Tashi came to Deji shyly, and said embarrassingly, "Young Mistress, I just came outside your room and wanted to say goodbye to you." Deji asked calmly: "Are you leaving?" "I... can read scriptures, but your Tibetan mastiff doesn't listen. If I'm bitten to death tomorrow... I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid I will cause trouble for you." "Go, I won't stop you." "You let me go?" Deji looked at Tashi, looked at the simple luggage on his body, and said, "Don't leave empty-handed, there are things you like in the house, so you can take them with you." Tashi waved his hand and said, "No...no need, I'm a wandering monk, I don't need anything." Deji untied a turquoise pendant from his waist, approached him and said, "I brought this from my natal family in Shigatse. It was given to my ancestors by the Qing emperor and has always brought me good luck. You helped I can't repay you for such a long time, so put it on." After speaking, he put the jade in Tashi's hand, turned and left.Tashi stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. Deji walked a few steps, stopped again, turned his back to Tashi and said, "Go quickly, go out of the city overnight, go as far as you can, lest they catch you back tomorrow." After finishing speaking, she entered main building. Standing in the yard, holding a turquoise pendant in his hand, Tashi said mockingly, "Tashi, are you just slipping away like this? You're so unmanly. This...you don't get rewarded for nothing, and this pendant was given by the emperor." , It’s quite valuable... You are a dignified seven-foot snow-covered man, you were scared away by a dog, how embarrassing it is to spread the word... Isn’t it just a dog? With my practice, I can’t deal with a dog.” He said I pumped myself up enough, and headed back to the main building with my head drooping. Tashi returned to the Buddhist hall, tossed and turned on the mat, and fell asleep drowsily after an unknown period of time.He dreamed that he was being chased by the Tibetan mastiff and was running around. He hid in Lhasa, and finally, the Tibetan mastiff drove him to the foot of the mountain.Suddenly, the Tibetan Mastiff turned into a fierce spirit and rushed towards him.Tashi woke up from the dream, his head was sweating and terrified.He simply got up, came to the butter lamp, took the scriptures, and began to chant, hoping to calm down his mood. He was reading while flipping through the scriptures, and when the pages of the scriptures were occasionally turned, Tashi's eyes stopped on Huanxi Buddha.He had a flash of inspiration, and ecstatically pushed the scripture aside, "Yes, yes!" He rushed out the door.Tashi trotted all the way to the servant's room, Gang Zhu was sleeping under the broken quilt with his head resting on his boots.Tashi shouted: "Gangzhu, wake up, Gangzhu." Seeing that Gangzhu had fallen asleep, he dragged him out from under the quilt. Gangzhu was shocked and asked, "Who is it?...Young Master, what's the matter?" "Don't ask, you come with me." Tashi finished and left first.Gangzhu carried the boots, put them on his feet as he walked, and followed Tashi out of the servant's room. Tudenggrad and Tudeng Zhandui were about to go out, and the maids were busy dressing them.Paka, who was wearing a police uniform, ran in, and after saluting, he said, "My lord, the mayor, Mr. Nima, invites you to go to the municipal office today." Gele was taken aback, and asked, "Even the Kashag government is on holiday this week to play Linka, so what business do I have to go to the municipal office?" "I did not know where to bring a Tibetan mastiff in the middle of the night last night. They said it was lost by the Dele Mansion. Let them get it today." Pa Jia replied. "Your municipal government office cleans up these sheep's bones and scum, and it takes a dog to catch a dog like this? It's over if someone sends it back to whom." Zhandui said impatiently. Gele thought about it, and suddenly asked: "Who else has Master Nima notified?" Pajia recalled, and said vaguely: "It seems that... I have indeed notified several adults, but I don't know who it is." Gele took off the clothes he had already put on and threw them to the servants.He sat down on the mat and ordered: "Pa Jia, you go back and tell Master Nima that I drank too much at the summer banquet yesterday and I am still drunk. ... You go back and pay attention, and tell me immediately if you have any problems. " "La Suo." Pajia agreed and left. Zhuoga finished dressing up and came out in full makeup. Seeing that Gele had taken off his coat and was sitting there motionless, he urged, "It's too late if you don't leave, second husband, what are you dawdling about?" "Forget it, don't go anywhere today!" "I made an appointment with some wives to play mahjong. We couldn't play mahjong because of the turmoil in Lausanne yesterday. I'll bring some more money today and play a few rounds." Gele suddenly became angry and shouted: "I won't go if I say I won't go!" "Second brother, what's the matter, getting so angry?" Zhandui asked puzzled. "I... feel uncomfortable, as if I'm going to be sick." After hearing this, Zhuoga nervously leaned forward and asked, "Second Husband, what's wrong with you?" "In my heart, I'm in a panic." "Housekeeper, hurry up and ask someone to bring in the Tibetan doctor." Gele waved his hand: "No need. Zhuoga, if you want to play, wait until the afternoon, and I will go with you." The courtyard of the municipal office was empty, except for the Tibetan mastiff locked in a corner.Occasionally, when a government servant walks by, it roars twice.The gate of the yamen is also very deserted, there are two sedan chairs parked in the shade by the wall, and the bearers are sitting on the ground playing dice.Tashi and Deji rode horses, surrounded by Wangchuk and four servants, and they dismounted at the gate of the yamen.Wangchuk stepped forward and knocked on the door.Tashi looked towards the two sedan chairs, the curtain of one of them was raised slightly, and the person sitting inside was Gang Zhu.Gangzhu nodded at Tashi, and Tashi understood. At this time, Rinchen, Luosang, Lord Nima and several other officials were hiding in the room of the municipal office, observing the movement in the yard.Pajia was also among them, waiting carefully.When they heard the knock on the door, they opened the window screen and looked into the yard, and saw Tashi and his party walking in. Nima said respectfully: "Lord Rinchen, I'll go out to greet them, please wait a moment." Rinchen waved to him and let him go. Lausanne proudly said: "Today, this false beauty Jeb is about to die. He can hide from people's eyes, but not from dogs' eyes!" The fat official said flatteringly: "My lord's method is unexpected, clever." Rinchen showed no arrogance, and looked out the window sternly.He saw Nima walking towards the Tibetan mastiff with Tashi. Nima said enthusiastically: "...I recognized it at a glance. This is Master Dele's precious Tibetan mastiff." When the Tibetan mastiff saw strangers coming, it roared at them.Tashi looked at it pretendingly and said: "It is indeed my Tibetan mastiff. It was stolen yesterday. I don't want to be caught by Master Nima. Sir, did the dog thief catch it?" Nima smiled awkwardly and said: "I didn't see the dog thief, I only saw it running around on the street. This dog is very expensive and eye-catching. We took a lot of effort to catch it. Master Dele, Since the dog is yours, take it away." Tashi looked at the barking Tibetan mastiff, and said, "This beast, you miss me. Say hello to me. Wangchuk, go and bring him here." Wangchug agreed, and went to take off the dog's leash.As a result, the Tibetan mastiff rushed in anger, pulled Wangchuk a big somersault, broke free, and rushed towards Tashi and Nima.Nima was terrified, ran away and got into the house. Seeing this, Deji went up to stop it, yelling: "Go, go! Stop!" The Tibetan mastiff didn't listen to the yelling at all, Deji saw this and took out his pistol.Seeing Deji draw out his gun, Tashi was startled, and he stretched out his hand to hold down the gun.Tashi whistled, and suddenly a Tibetan mastiff jumped out from behind him, led by a lama in cassock.Two Tibetan mastiffs met head-on, they sniffed each other hostilely, and finally, they rubbed their ears together. Rinchen, Luosang, etc. saw the scene outside through the window screen, and they felt very strange. "Why is there another Tibetan mastiff?" Rinchen asked in bewilderment. "Oh, what's going on? I'll go out and have a look." Nima also fainted.He ran to the door, pushed open a crack and looked outside. Two Tibetan mastiffs in the yard are playing very intimately.The Tibetan mastiff from Dele Mansion rode on the Tibetan mastiff, wanting to mate.Tashi laughed, and Deji and Wangchuk were a little dazed.Nima, Paka and the officials in the room all came out, and they also gathered around to watch. The lama ran out of the yard while calling the dog.When the female Tibetan Mastiff heard the call, she turned her head and ran, and the male Tibetan Mastiff followed behind, shaking his head and tail.Tashi laughed and scolded: "This shameless bastard, when he sees a bitch, he doesn't even care about his owner." Everyone laughed. Wangchuk followed closely behind, and he yelled: "General, don't run away, if you run away again, come back... come back..." He had just chased to the door when he suddenly saw Gangzhu and the lama together, They took two dogs separately. Gangzhu said with a smile: "Master the housekeeper, don't worry about me." The lama and Gangzhu led the dogs and got into the sedan chairs respectively.Only then did Wangchuk wake up. Only Rinchen and Luosang were left in the room of the municipal office, and Rinchen said with a gloomy face, "How could this happen?" Luosang muttered regretfully: "Dad, I should have asked Qimei Jeb to identify the dog by himself just now, and it's a mess now." "Do you think I didn't expect Nima to have this power? The Dele family is also a famous and famous nobleman, and their young master will listen to you? If this is done too much, we will cause public anger." Unwilling, Luosang said angrily, "Then it will be cheaper for you kid." 等仁钦他们都走了，帕甲赶往雍丹府，向格勒汇报了扎西在市政衙门认狗的全过程。格勒听后，忍不住笑了起来：“敢情这么多大人物陪着仁钦老爷，看其美杰布配狗，有意思。” 卓嘎没听出里面的奥秘，傻傻地说：“等下了狗崽，我们也抱一只，那狗品种好。” 格勒笑着说：“再好，也好不过姐夫，其美杰布，你真是太绝了。”卓嘎和占堆听不明白，面面相觑。格勒想了想，又说：“大哥，你和我要一起出去一趟。” 占堆没有反对，卓嘎见他们要走，嚷嚷：“你不说下午陪我去耍林卡吗？” “要去，你自己去。”格勒说完，又冲外面喊：“管家。”雍丹管家从外面小跑进来，格勒在他耳边嘀咕了几句，管家转身走了。 仁钦正坐在客厅的卡垫上喝着酥油茶，洛桑拿着一个门帖从外面匆匆进来，他递给仁钦说：“雍丹府的二位少爷求见，还有礼单。” 仁钦意外，皱起眉头问道：“礼单？念给我听。” 洛桑翻看，念道：“雅安藏茶五包，景德镇细瓷碗一套，银圆一百。” “他们来送礼，什么意思？” “爸啦，管他呢。昨天土登格勒和其美杰布串通一气，赢了我不少钱，他是觉得烫手了。管家，把东西留下，告诉他们，老爷不在，轰走。” “慢着，请进来，看看他们到底什么来头。” 管家引着格勒和占堆进来，仁钦请他们坐在卡垫上，吩咐仆人上最好的茶。格勒看了一眼站在边上的洛桑，笑呵呵地说：“仁钦少爷，还在生我的气？” 洛桑傲慢地问：“你是来赔礼道歉的？” “没错，是来赔礼道歉的，但不是为我，而是为我姐姐和姐夫来拜望仁钦大人。” “德勒府托你来的？”仁钦问道。 “不是。我看到仁钦府和德勒府一直在争斗，拉萨城里也传得沸沸扬扬。我不想看到你们两败俱伤。所以，想来化解此事。仁钦大人，晚辈虽然冒昧，却是诚心诚意。”格勒解释说。 "Do you have this ability?" “只要您开的条件不高。” “年轻人，你搞错了。不是我要和德勒府争斗，我身为噶厦政府的高级官员，要时刻为拉萨的政教大业效力，不能让那些出身低等的人浑水摸鱼，脏了拉萨贵族的血统。你是德勒家的亲戚，那个其美杰布是真是假，你比我更清楚。” 占堆忙说：“仁钦大人，您不要听信谣传，其美杰布和我一起长大，他脚丫子上长几个斗，我都一清二楚，怎么可能是假的呢。” 仁钦质问：“你敢打这个保票？” "Of course." “那好，我们走着瞧吧。” 格勒见仁钦有些恼怒，他拉了拉占堆，然后说道：“晚辈认为，当年德勒老爷深受拉萨佛爷的宠信，他做事专断，不留情面。所以在拉萨的官场得罪了很多人。您和德勒老爷的矛盾也由此而来。其实，拉萨的僧俗官员派系林立，错综复杂，谁想一家独大，最后都会惹来一身麻烦！当时德勒噶伦虽然大权在握，但他老人家忘了佛教最关键的二个字……轮回！他犯了官场大忌。” “你是在数落德勒噶伦，还是在数落我呢？” “晚辈不敢。我只是在说眼前刚发生过的事儿。” 仁钦笑了：“后生可畏啊，你们的赔礼，我不敢当，礼品请带回去吧。”仁钦也站起身，下了逐客令。 格勒和占堆对望了一下，只好起身说道：“仁钦噶伦，打扰了。” 管家引着格勒和占堆出了客厅。仁钦望着他们的背影，说道：“土登格勒是个韬略之人，不可小视。” “他一个五品官有什么了不起的。我倒觉得他耸人听闻，是想引起爸啦的注意，想巴结我们。” “你错了，你真以为他是来送礼的吗？他今天来，是在提醒我，我们跟德勒府的这场争斗是不是该停止了？” “爸啦，您不会相信其美杰布是真的吧？” “我坚信他是假的，但大昭寺和布达拉宫里的僧俗官员们不信。不能因为一个其美杰布，给我们的政治对手留下把柄，他们会借此攻击我，那就得不偿失啦。洛桑，要学会等待，等待机会。” “爸啦，不把其美杰布搞垮，我咽不下这口气。” 仁钦叹息道：“洛桑，你要是土登格勒该多好。我就不用整天操这么大的心。” 德吉站在德勒府的屋顶上笑得前仰后合，眼泪都笑出来了，她问道：“少爷，你怎么会想出这个馊主意来？” 扎西一本正经地说：“不是我想出来的，是菩萨的主意。” “胡扯，菩萨还给你预备好一条母狗。” “我不是跟你说过吗？五年前，我在多吉林活佛御前学经，我们寺在山上，夜里常有野狼进寺觅食，活佛就让我养了一条藏獒防狼。我去了印度以后，这只藏獒就交给寺里的一位喇嘛喂养，没想到，今天派上了用场。这只母藏獒有一个特可爱的名字，是我起的，叫喜金刚。” “也许，你的喜金刚注定要报答你一次。” “我也没亏待它，这个季节是它的发情期，你家的大将军陪着它，它一定很快活。也许用不了多久，它会下一窝小将军。”扎西望着屋顶上随风抖动的经幡，突然严肃地说：“少奶奶，有件事儿，我觉得很奇怪……” 德吉打断他说：“我知道你要说什么，藏獒藏在庄园里，仁钦怎么会知道？” 扎西点头：“那天我把藏獒送走，是有目的的，我早想到了今天，可还是没躲过去。看来，仁钦在德勒府里有内奸。” 德吉也警觉起来，思索着：“你说能是谁呢？” 旺秋从楼梯口走了上来，他心事重重的样子。德吉知道他有事儿，便对扎西说：“少爷，你也累一天了，回去歇息吧。”扎西明白，转身走了。等他下了楼梯，德吉询问的目光看着旺秋。 旺秋上前，为难地说：“少奶奶，洛桑又约我了，我不知该去不该去，请少奶奶定夺。” 德吉松了口气说：“我当是什么事儿呢。不是已经交代过你吗，洛桑约你，你就去，看看他又在打什么主意？” “既然少奶奶吩咐了，我就去探探他的口风。” “旺秋，你们祖孙三代，生在德勒府，长在德勒府，我从来没有怀疑过你的忠诚，你不用多虑。” “有您这句话，奴才就是为少奶奶赴汤蹈火也心甘情愿。”旺秋感激地说完，下楼去了。 旺秋又来到了药王山下，看见山脚下有几名刻经文的石匠叮叮当当地凿着。旺秋见洛桑正站在山洞门口等他，赶紧走了过去。洛桑见面便问：“旺秋管家，那套宅子怎么样？” 旺秋满意地说：“好，宽敞，气派，真是好。” “我已经帮你物色了一个姑娘，漂亮，能生能养。改天给你送去。” “洛桑少爷为我真是用尽心思。” “我不是说过了吗，要交你这个朋友。” “来而不往，就是我不懂事儿了。你想让我怎么报答你啊？” “旺秋管家真是心直口快，明白人！旺秋，你们家少奶奶和少爷睡一被窝吗？” 旺秋一愣，无语。 “我听说其美杰布一个人住在佛堂，确有此事？” 旺秋顿时翻脸，斥责他说：“你也是噶伦的儿子，怎么净打听这些端不上台面的事儿。” 洛桑还是追问：“德吉会让那小子上她的床？” “你就甭惦记了，谁上少奶奶的床，也轮不着你。” 洛桑不屑地信口开河：“看你这副嘴脸，八成是你惦记上德吉了吧？” 旺秋火了，拿出房契摔到洛桑脸上，吼道：“你以为这张破纸就能收买我？我生养在德勒府，姓的是德勒的族名，他们对我的恩情是这张纸抵得了的吗？” 洛桑恼羞成怒，大骂：“你个狗奴才！”他伸手打了旺秋一个大嘴巴。 “入赘德勒府，你这辈子，休想！”旺秋说完，气哼哼地走了。一名刻石头的石匠抬起头来，原来他一直在监视旺秋，此人竟然是刚珠。 旺秋回到德勒府直奔德吉卧室，他推开门，弓腰进来。然后望向卡垫上，床上，竟然没有德吉的身影。最后，他的目光落在衣柜前，吃了一惊。原来，德吉穿着其美杰布的官服，戴着官帽，背对着旺秋，依然沉浸在自己的回忆中。突然，她从穿衣镜里看见了旺秋，吓了一跳，不耐烦地问：“谁让你进来的？” 旺秋轻声地说：“少奶奶，我回来了。” 德吉冲他摆了摆手，旺秋心领神会，不言语了。德吉把官帽从自己的头上摘下来，抱在胸前。她的眼圈红了，噙着泪。旺秋察言观色，试探地问：“少奶奶，您又想少爷啦？” “这段时间被仁钦父子逼得紧，心里这根弦一直是绷着，现在总算放松了。” “您是不是该办一次法事，为少爷超度？” 德吉被旺秋说破了心思，她把帽子放到帽筒上，把身上的官服脱了下来，转身走了。旺秋跟在她身后，继续说道：“这是您的心病，也一直是奴才的心愿。” “可现在这种情况，我们也没法名正言顺地去做法事啊。” “那就去寺里，为少爷祈一次福吧。……跟家里人和寺里的人就说，我们是去为德勒老爷还愿。” 德吉想了想，吩咐道：“选个吉日，你去安排吧。”
