Fusheng Chronicle
Chapter 30
It's getting late, if you hurry now, you might have to sleep in the wild.Zhou Shengxiao accepted a total of 50 taels of silver bills from the boy, and went to the bank to exchange some silver coins.
These days, the wind and the sun are blowing, and the long gown on my body has long been torn into shape.Although Zhou Shengxiao had experienced even more painful experiences than these, he was still a bit fussy.On the way to the inn, he saw a tailor shop, so he walked in and gently knocked on the door.
The shopkeeper was a dozing girl in a man's robe.She heard the voice, stood up in a panic, and her robe slipped to the ground.Seeing the man in Tsing Yi standing at the door, she blushed even more.
"Is there a blue gown for sale?" The man seemed a little tired, and his clothes were also very messy.The elegant eyebrows were raised slightly, and her eyes were cast on a set of soft satin and ribbed blue gown on the left side of the store.
The girl wanted to take off the clothes and give them to Zhou Shengxiao, but she suddenly thought of something and said embarrassingly, "Master, that suit has already been ordered by the young master of the Qian family."
"It's okay." Zhou Shengxiao took a step into the store, "That suit is too small for me."
The girl thought for a moment, leaned forward and walked into the room. She searched for a while, and finally took out a blue robe and walked out.She smiled and walked in front of Zhou Shengxiao, she could only look up at him and said, "My lord, I think this robe is more suitable for you than the long robe."
She said as she shook off her clothes.The material of the clothes is of course the best, even better than the soft satin ordered by the Qian family just now.The stitching is fine and exquisite, and the only style is what those noblemen often wear.
"This dress was made by my father for a famous son when he went to the capital a few years ago. Unfortunately, it was a bit too big. When he came back, he kept it unused at home. If you want it, son, I can sell it to you for 30 taels of silver. "
30 taels of silver is quite expensive, let alone a set of robes.Zhou Shengxiao did not hesitate at all, paid the money directly, took the wrapped clothes and walked towards the inn.By the way, he also bought boots and winter clothes, as the weather turned cold and his body couldn't bear it.
Walking into the deserted inn, Xiao Erwei immediately came over to take the package and luggage from Zhou Shengxiao.
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Young master, do you want to stay in the shop or be a top-notch?"
At this time, the business of the inn would not be so bad. Zhou Shengxiao was a little puzzled, but he still said, "Give me a room."
The shopkeeper looked at Zhou Shengxiao for a few times, and then asked cautiously: "May I ask if you are going to Beijing for the exam?"
Zhou Shengxiao nodded.
"Beware of ghosts!" a little Er shouted outright.
"Don't listen to his nonsense." The shopkeeper waved his hand and said, "If you are going on the road tomorrow, you'd better go early. On the road, there is a ruined temple called Ruopan Temple. Many scholars have disappeared there recently. nearby."
Xiao Er muttered, "Isn't it just haunted by a ghost? It is said that the ghost has a grudge against the Qian Mansion, and the eldest son of the Qian Mansion died in it not long ago."
The shopkeeper turned cold and scolded: "Don't talk too much!"
Zhou Shengxiao didn't pay much attention, he originally planned to leave at dawn tomorrow.Tong Xiaoer walked upstairs, the only table of guests cast strange glances at him and whispered at the same time.
It all seemed eerie.Coupled with the consolation from the shopkeeper just now, it seems a bit unusual.
The upper room of Tianzi No. [-] was very big, so Zhou Shengxiao asked someone to put the bath water first, and then went to bed after taking a bath.In the past, he didn't need sleep, but now this novel feeling made him feel addicted.
It's dawn.Zhou Shengxiao was awakened by a hasty knock on the door.He opened his eyes, feeling a little sleepy.Standing up and putting on the robe he bought yesterday, he opened the door and said impatiently, "What's the matter?"
Xiao Er said with a shy smile: "I'm really sorry, my lord, the young man from the rich mansion downstairs said he wanted to find you, so I knocked on the door hastily."
"Qian Mansion?" Zhou Shengxiao thought it was probably because he was drawing a picture for the young man of Qian Mansion yesterday, and said, "Go and tell him that we have both money and goods, and there is no need to meet again."
Xiaoer agreed and hurried downstairs.Zhou Shengxiao went back to his room to get dressed, cleaned his face and washed his teeth, and then went downstairs to prepare to go downstairs.He walked down the long stairs, and the first thing he saw was a boy who looked exactly like Xu Yanbao.
He was wearing a crimson robe and a snow-white fox fur coat.Red lips and white teeth, just like a young and frivolous young man in his prime.He raised his eyes to look at Zhou Shengxiao, and suddenly stood up from the chair.
"May I ask who the young master is?" He asked eagerly.
Zhou Shengxiao frowned, and immediately thought that this was just a reincarnation, that is, something that happened in the past.Since he, Miao Changfeng, and Ji Weiran were all there, it was no surprise that Xu Yanbao was there.
The servant of the Qian Mansion beside him yelled: "Young master, he is the scholar who painted the "Eight Immortals Celebrating the Birthday" yesterday!"
Zhou Shengxiao said indifferently: "I don't know why your Excellency came to find me? I don't paint anymore."
"No." The young man scratched his hair angrily, lest he disturb the fairy-like figure in front of him, "I, I think I can invite you to Qian's mansion to talk about it?"
"Why?" Zhou Shengxiao asked confused.
Xu wanted to die for something, the boy suddenly raised his head: "As long as you go, I will give you a hundred taels of gold!"
Zhou Shengxiao shook his head. Although he needed money, the income from selling paintings was enough.He turned his head and said to Xiao Er who was looking silly, "Give me a bowl of clear porridge and a pot of tea."
Seeing that Zhou Shengxiao was unmoved, the young man became a little anxious: "I beg you, follow me to the Qian Mansion to have a look. I really have something urgent to ask you! Please, I will do whatever you want. All abilities are given to you."
Zhou Shengxiao softened his heart a little.After all, the boy looks the same as Xu Yanbao, so he must be Xu Yanbao's past life.He has been with Xu Yanbao for so long, and he always treats each other as his younger brother.Thinking of this, he said, "I'll go with you after I finish my breakfast, okay?"
The boy nodded excitedly, and said to Xiao Er: "Give me all the most expensive and delicious dishes from your side."
Then he asked Zhou Shengxiao, "Can I sit with you?"
Zhou Shengxiao agreed.The servant beside him was stunned, unaware that the young master, who is called the devil king of the world, still has such a cute side.
Sure enough, no matter who is in life, there is a nemesis.
The dishes came out quickly, and Zhou Shengxiao had a bowl of bland porridge and a pot of clear tea in front of him.On the other hand, in front of the young man, there were more than 20 dishes, big fish and big meat, with a strong aroma.
Seeing Zhou Shengxiao eating the bowl of porridge in an orderly manner, the young man said discouragedly, "Don't you even eat it?"
Zhou Shengxiao raised his head, wiped his mouth, and asked doubtfully, "What should I eat?"
The young man pointed to the food in front of him like a full banquet, and said, "I ordered everything for you."
Zhou Shengxiao said: "No thanks, I don't eat such greasy food in the morning."
The boy lowered his head in frustration, as if he didn't know what to do to attract the attention of the person in front of him.
"By the way, what's your name?"
Zhou Shengxiao replied, "My name is Zhou Shengxiao."
The young man's eyes were shining, and at this moment he looked like the silly child in modern times. He said, "My name is Xu Yanbao."
"Aren't you the young master of Qian's mansion? Why is your surname Xu?"
The boy said cheerfully: "My father married into my mother's house, so I have my mother's name."
After breakfast, Zhou Shengxiao and Xu Yanbao came to Qian's mansion in a soft sedan chair.As expected of being the largest member of the staff within a hundred li radius, the Qian Mansion is extraordinarily resplendent and resplendent.Zhumen stone beasts, the walls are tall.Two burly servants stood at the door, looking at his appearance, he was also different from other families.
"How is it? Is my house considered grand?" Xu Yanbao said a little proudly.
"It's okay." Zhou Shengxiao said.He has lived in a palace mansion, so he is naturally very calm about this seemingly luxurious Qian Mansion.
Xu Yanbao invited Zhou Shengxiao to his house.All the maids and servants I met along the way were in a hurry, bowing their heads and shrinking their necks, as if there was a ghost behind them.
Seeing this, Xu Yanbao said embarrassedly: "Some things happened at home recently, so these servants are all worried."
Zhou Shengxiao said that he didn't care, and the two soon came to Xu Yanbao's bedroom.Xu Yanbaoping retreated, locked the windows and doors tightly, then walked up to Zhou Shengxiao with a solemn expression, and suddenly knelt down.
"I beg Mr. Zhou to help me!"
Zhou Shengxiao frowned, trying to help him up.He treated Xu Yanbao as his younger brother, so naturally he didn't want him to kneel like this.
Xu Yanbao raised his head, tears welled up in his eyes.He choked up and said, "Young Master Zhou, you have heard about the haunting of the Qian Mansion recently. In the past few days, several servants in the mansion have died suddenly, and even - even my brother disappeared a few days ago!"
Zhou Shengxiao said indifferently: "This should have nothing to do with me, right? I'm just a scholar. You should go to the Taoist for matters concerning the Qian family."
Xu Yanbao sighed: "All the Taoist priests who have been hired at a high price have been scared away by this ghost! It's just that a very powerful expert was invited earlier and said that he can deal with this ghost. It's just that this ghost hides in the Prajna Temple outside the city all the year round. The scholar who came to borrow will absorb its essence. So, so I think..."
"Will me be the bait?" Zhou Shengxiao looked at him with a half-smile.
