Sitting in the rickety carriage, looking out the window at the Chang'an street full of pedestrians, with a juicy cabbage beside him bumping into him with the shaking of the carriage, um... how beautiful it is!
The little girl didn't know where she learned this bit of vixenism, she was sitting next to her, but she almost hid in his arms.
Then she blinked her big watery eyes and looked at him with a confused expression on her face.
Long live!
The little goblin is using magic tricks to seduce people!
You know, Zhang Nuo at this moment is not the middle-aged uncle who does health care from time to time, reads study materials when he has nothing to do, and never leaves wolfberry tea every day.
Zhang Nuo was eighteen at the moment, and he belonged to the popular fried chicken that would steam in the ice-throwing hole in winter, and it was extremely hot.
At this moment, a little goblin in his arms was dawdling, even if it was a little goblin who he thought was underage, he was already on the verge of nosebleeds.
There is no way, the weather is dry, the nose is too dry, um, yes, that's it, it has nothing to do with bad thoughts.
Really!
Zhang Nuo swears to the sky with three fingers!
Chapter 23 The Magical Old Fang
Under the dual stimulus of pain and happiness, Zhang Nuo came to Yongping Square almost blushing.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of Fangshi, Zhang Nuo jumped down in a panic.
Looking at the little girl who got out of the car slowly behind and pretended to be ignorant, as if nothing had happened, Zhang Nuo couldn't help complaining.
Mom sells batches, it's been a while, and the little girl is still pretending, if it wasn't because you were too young, she would turn around and take you into the room!
After silently reciting a few lines of the Three Hundred Tang Poems in his heart, temporarily suppressing those thoughts in his heart, Zhang Nuo walked into Yongping Square step by step.
This place is different from Kaihuafang where Zhang Nuo is currently living. Basically, here are common people and small families.
Therefore, the houses here are mostly dilapidated and slightly dilapidated small houses, and most of the pedestrians walking on the street are poor people in shabby clothes.
Dressed in white, flirtatious to the extreme, and accompanied by Zhang Nuo, who was obviously a maid, it always felt a bit out of place to walk here.
However, Zhang Nuo didn't feel uncomfortable at all. Instead, he casually greeted the passers-by he knew on both sides according to the impression in his memory.
"Third Aunt, I'm Zhang Nuo, no, come back and have a look at the old house!"
"Brother Liu, you're only going to work now!"
"Mr. Fang, the family is fine!"
Under Zhang Nuo's constant greetings, people discovered that this noble young man was actually dressed like the old Zhang family's kid. How long has it been since this is developed?
People finally leaned over. Although there was still a trace of fear and alienation, they were much more intimate than the previous state of detours.
It took Zhang Nuo a lot of time to get away from the crowd. It was because people knew that Zhang Nuo had other things to do, otherwise there would have been several families who just dragged him to eat at home.
This kind of familiar neighbor relationship made Zhang Nuo very happy.
What is this? This is the mass base. At that time, once my own workshop is opened here, people from all walks of life will work here. Wouldn’t they be more united by then?
At that time, if there were small-minded gangsters who came here to make trouble, Zhang Nuo didn't need to come forward, and these folks would probably beat up the gangsters and turn them over to the government.
This virtually saved Zhang Nuo a lot of trouble.
After bidding farewell to these enthusiastic neighbors, Zhang Nuo was finally able to walk towards his old house.
The little fairy Zhang Xiaomei didn't see the aggressiveness of getting into people's arms in the carriage at the moment, she was half a body behind Zhang Nuo and followed shyly with a smile on her brows. Those who didn't know thought it was a lady from some rich family.
Zhang Nuo really has nothing to do with this little goblin, after all, deep in his soul, he is still the little restaurant owner who can give discounts by flirting with beautiful women.
Although he said it as if Zhang Xiaomei made him feel so embarrassed and embarrassing.In fact, I may not know how beautiful it is in my heart.
The one who bought Zhang Nuo's old house was Lao Fang, a neighbor deep in Fangshi.
It is said that Lao Fang’s family was ruined back then. When the Tang Dynasty was first established, he came to Chang’an City alone, and then bought a small courtyard in Yongpingfang to live in.
I don't know how he accumulated a lot of wealth. I never saw him go out to do some business, and he never starved to death in ten years.
When Lao Zhang was still alive, he greeted Zhang Nuo's mother and sent him some food from time to time.
It's not that I'm afraid that people won't have enough to eat, but I'm afraid that someday Lao Fang will die at home and no one will know.
Later, Lao Zhang and his wife fell ill, and the family ran out of money after treatment. It was Lao Fang who came to the door and said, knowing that your family is not easy, I still have some money, so you can use it for medical treatment first.
Lao Zhang is stubborn, so he sold the house to Lao Fang anyway.
But Lao Fang didn't say anything when he got the deed, and he didn't urge Zhang Nuo's family to move out. He still lived in the old house, and Zhang Nuo didn't move out until Lao Zhang and his wife passed away.
It can be said that for Zhang Nuo's family, Lao Fang is really very interesting.
Not long after, Zhang Nuo strolled to the door of old Fang's house. The paint on the vermilion door was already mottled, but Zhang Nuo started to knock on the door without seeing anything.
"Old Fang, I know you are inside, I, Zhang Nuo, open the door quickly!"
As soon as the words fell, Old Fang's slightly shrill answer sounded from the door,
"The door is unlocked, come in by yourself!"
Zhang Nuo didn't mean to be polite at all, just pushed the door and walked in.
The entrance is a small courtyard. At this time, Lao Fang is wearing a blue-gray robe, half lying on a soft bed, holding a yellowed book in his hand, slowly flipping through it.
Startled by the sound of the door opening, Lao Fang raised his head and looked at Zhang Nuo, and suddenly let out a surprised cry, got up from the collapse, walked up to Zhang Nuo, and looked him up and down carefully.
Zhang Nuo got goosebumps when Lao Fang saw it like this, and was about to ask a question, but heard Lao Fang ask,
"Mr. Zhang Family, have you encountered any strange people and strange things in recent months?"
Zhang Nuo's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this old Fang was also a person who traveled through time with a cheat, and also saw the secret of his time-traveling?
Zhang Nuo almost exhausted all his strength to keep his face calm, but he still asked tremblingly in his words,
"No, I own a restaurant and the business is pretty good. I'm busy with my business every day, practicing calligraphy and reading books. What's the matter? What's wrong with me?"
Lao Fang clapped his hands violently, and sighed loudly,
"It's not just wrong! This is a big mistake!"
"Earlier when I saw you, it was obviously the face of Fu Bo who died young, but I haven't seen you for a few months now, but seeing your face has become the face of Fu Lu Shou Sanquan, rich and powerful."
"If it weren't for your natural expression and clear voice, I would have suspected that you were possessed by a monster!"
Zhang Nuo heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was surprised by his face, thinking that he had met a time traveler.
As long as he didn't discover the secret he traveled through, it wouldn't be a big deal. As for his appearance, he changed for the better.
Isn't that a normal operation? You can travel through it all. Which item of Fu Lu Shou can be missing?
But from this point of view, Lao Fang is also a bit capable, not to mention reading and reading, but the judgment of his face alone is much better than ordinary wandering Taoist priests.
This made Zhang Nuo, who was about to expand the industry and was short of people, especially senior management personnel, moved his mind.
Lao Fang is also very knowledgeable, he has been neighbors with them for many years, and his friendship is still there, and his ability is not bad, so it would be great to be a manager or something.
Thinking of his pride, Zhang Nuo immediately put the previous nervousness behind him, looked at Lao Fang with a smile and said,
"Old Fang, I think it's boring for you to live here alone. Why don't you sell my old house to me and work as a housekeeper or something in my house, okay?"
Chapter 24 Amazing, Old Fang
Zhang Nuo originally thought that Lao Fang had to hesitate and think about something. After all, he hadn't seen Lao Fang doing anything in business all these years. He stayed at home every day, and he was like a Tang version of an otaku.
Unexpectedly, Lao Fang nodded without hesitation, and said confidently,
"I haven't gone to the government to transfer the old house. I will return it to the master's family later. I hope the master's family will take care of it in the future!"
Zhang Nuo was stunned, did he have such a great charm? He didn't even talk about the salary, so he just bowed down and sent him the old house.
Before Zhang Nuo could ask a question, Lao Fang spoke again,
"My lord, the old slave of the old house is willing to offer it with both hands. Can the old slave sign a death contract to enter the house?"
Zhang Nuo was about to explode right now, and it was the first time he saw that he offered to sign the death contract.
What is a dead contract?
One of the simplest explanations is "selling yourself into slavery"!
Generally, only those who really can't live on will sell themselves to someone's family, and this life will be theirs from now on.
But at the same time, it can be regarded as sharing weal and woe with the family. If the family commits any serious crime of punishing the nine clans, those who signed the death contract will have to die together.
Although Lao Fang is considered to be his real self after signing Zhang's death contract, but Zhang Nuo can't just sign it so vaguely.
Obviously, it wasn't because of lack of money that Lao Fang didn't want the money to send the old house up, so he asked to sign a death contract.
Isn't this so funny!
Lao Fang looked at Zhang Nuo and explained seriously,
"My lord, when I was young, I also came from a big family in the south. Before I was eight years old, I was also well-clothed and well-fed. I was carefree, but then an old Taoist priest passed by my house."
"After seeing me, they said that I was too evil and hurt my relatives and myself. If I don't send it away within a year, it will hurt my family."
"The family didn't care much at the time, but a year later, within a month, my second brother and younger sister both died unexpectedly. My father had no choice but to believe it and sent me to a nearby Taoist temple."
"Unexpectedly, that old Taoist priest has been waiting for me and told my father that his fortune is not enough to protect me. He can only teach me for six years. After six years, I have to come to Chang'an by myself."
"Besides, this old Taoist priest, that is, later my master also explained that I will find a blessed person in Chang'an in the future who is blessed with good fortune, prosperity and longevity. It can extend the family and exchange for the well-being of the family."
"Since then, I followed Master to read and read, and studied Taoism, and then brought the money my father gave me to Chang'an."
"I've been waiting for these years. If it weren't for my father's letters and property exchanges every year, I don't know how to persevere. Fortunately, I waited for the Lord's family to appear today, and I hope the Lord's family will make it happen!"
After speaking, he bowed deeply, and then just bent down and waited for Zhang Nuo's reply.
Zhang Nuo is a bit puzzled at the moment. Lao Fang's story and this routine feel similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva fooling Zhu Bajie and other Tang monks.
Could it be that what he traveled through was a fantasy world, or even a mythical world?
I haven't heard of it either. People and things that should appear in history are still those. I haven't heard anyone say that they saw people flying in the sky.
Originally, as a promising young man who was born under the red flag, grew up in the spring breeze, and has been influenced by the core values of socialism for many years, um, ahem, a promising middle-aged man, he is not very interested in such weird things.
But when I think that I have come across the millennium, it is better to remain in awe of some magical methods.
As for things like Lao Fang's evil spirit that needs to be protected or suppressed by himself, Zhang Nuo didn't mean to worry at all.
Are you kidding, there is a cheating base, what kind of evil spirits dare to come to the young master to be presumptuous here?
Young master, I am an existence who will surely rise to the top of the sky, ascend to the imperial court and pay homage to the minister, and be promoted to a position of honor. The luck and fortune are as thick as Tang Sanzang, and I can still be afraid of this little evil spirit.
Moreover, Lao Fang is also an honest person, so he really explained the twists and turns inside, and clearly stated that it was for the continuation of the family and the well-being of the family.
Such a person is at least not an ungrateful person, so what are you waiting for, just accept it.
So Zhang Nuo immediately put on a very "kind" smile on his face, helped Lao Fang up and said,
"Old Fang, you don't need to sign the death contract, just come to my house to work, the housekeeper's seat is reserved for you."
Lao Fang stood up, but said with a serious face,
"Master, the death contract must be signed. The master protects the old slave's family and prolongs his life. The old slave should sell himself into the house and share weal and woe with the master. I hope the master's family will be happy."
After finishing speaking, he bowed again, yes, Zhang Nuo also has a headache at the moment, this person is really stubborn.
All right, a dead contract is a dead contract, anyway, this thing, in Zhang Nuo's view, is actually an enhanced version of a lifetime employment contract, if the master and servant get along well, the dead contract will no longer exist.
So Zhang Nuo helped Lao Fang up again, and said angrily,
"Okay, old Fang, don't bow down, sign! Let's sign now! You pack up your things, and come back with me after signing. It just so happens that there are a lot of shit at the moment."
Only now did Lao Fang stand up straight with a smile on his face, just looking at his expression as if he had picked up money, who knew that this time would turn Lao Fang from a free man into a slave who signed a death contract.
Lao Fang didn't have many things, just some change of clothes and a big bag of books, which could be carried away with two bags.
The group of three returned to the carriage, and as soon as Lao Fang got up, he took out a house deed from his arms and said,
"Master, this is the house deed that the old slave kept. It was originally just a favor for the neighbors. I never thought that the old slave could find a destined person. Now it is returned to the original owner."
Zhang Nuo took the house deed, looked at it carefully, felt a little bit emotional and embarrassed, then handed it to Lao Fang and said,
"You keep this house deed for me first, and I will give you the money after a while, and you will return it to me! Don't refuse, young master, I am not short of the money. It is because I have to do business that my money is tight right now." , or I will give it to you right now."
"You have been taking money from your hometown all these years, and you have also sent some money back along the way. Anyway, eating and drinking my food in the future can make people in your hometown feel at ease."
Lao Fang originally planned to refuse, but after Zhang Nuo finished speaking, he sighed deeply, and then silently put the house deed into his arms.
