unlucky ghost

A sharp sun emerged from Dongshan Mountain, and a ray of golden light hit Tanxi's face.

The thick layer of old stork hair on the ground gradually became thinner, and then disappeared soundlessly.

Although the ray of light was not strong, it was just that Tanxi was a ghost now, and he was the most shady, and it burned his face like a branding iron.

Tanxi covered her face and jumped under the tree, and followed the path Bai Wuchang said.

With three crutches and two crutches, it took only a quarter of an hour to reach the place.

When Tanxi stopped to look at it, there was a double-opened gilt gate standing in front of him. On the plaque with gold characters on the red background, the two characters "Tanfu" were carefully carved. The lions on both sides stared angrily, with their front paws slightly raised Each holds a Qiankun Stone.

At this time, the gate of the Tan Mansion was wide open, and two young men in gray and blue shirts stood vigorously on both sides, one was dozing with his head tilted, and the other was covering the sun with his sleeve.

Probe into Tanxi and look in. The courtyard is as noisy as a street market with people coming and going; there are exotic flowers and plants covering each other, and parrots singing and green singing are very lively.

Tanxi slammed her mouth. Over the past ten years, the Tan family's business has been undefeated and turned prosperous. A mansion in Nuoda is full of momentum.

The sun was getting hotter in the sky, so Tanxi tiptoed into the gate.

"Is Jiang Ning's account accepted?"

A fat old man with a gray beard came to meet him, with plump cheeks and short stature, holding a semi-old thick booklet in one hand, and a wolf man in lowercase ink full of ink in the other, his eyes were small but radiant, turning around Look behind Tanxi.

A young servant in the back responded with a smile: "Go back to the housekeeper, don't bother to collect it. Yesterday, Master Wang in Jiangning sent a personal servant to personally deliver it. The total amount is 210 taels, and it has already been handed over to the cashier. "After the man finished speaking, he arched his hands and walked out of the main entrance.

Tanxi was taken aback, this fat old man was from Wen Zhongwen's official family, unexpectedly, it had been more than ten years, this old man enjoyed a lot of blessings with his employer, and Tan Xi shivered just looking at his pork belly.

Wen Zhong took the notebook and said again: "Jiang Han, have you paid out the 4000 taels that the master asked for yesterday?"

"Master said, prepare the birthday gift in the evening and send it to Liu's house." On the verandah on the left hand side, leaning against the red railing was a gentle and handsome young man, holding an abacus made of pear wood in his hand, and lazily called back to the housekeeper.

The housekeeper's gaze rested on him for a while, he picked up a pen to make a mark on the account book, and went to the right wing.The several connected rooms over there were very quiet, only the abacus beads were crackling and melodious.

The old housekeeper stroked the leather belt on his waist, tucked in some of his plump belly, and blocked the door of the accountant's room, calling one by one: "Lingyu, did you get the batch of medicinal materials in Zhejiang last month?"

A young man inside said: "It's put away, I've shown it to Mr. Wang."

The old housekeeper nodded, raised a pen and tickled it, and said: "Qinggu, when will the shipment from Jiangnan leave, how many people will be needed, and how much money will be left to go with Mr. Wang by myself."

"Go back to the housekeeper. The goods from Jiangnan will be shipped out in the next day. There are enough manpower, and the money to hire the ship and people is still a few thousand taels short. I will go to Mr. Wang after I figure it out."

"Hmm...Okay." The old housekeeper brushed his beard, made another stroke on the account book, and smiled broadly.

Looking at the scene in Tanxi, the account room alone is so busy. Thinking about it, the current business of the Tan family is huge.

Going forward, the hall is magnificent.

Carved ridges, glazed tiles, painted everywhere, eaves and corners pecked high, maids and servants bring tea and water to and fro, there are many people in the hall, and some merchants in brocade clothes and leather belts can be vaguely seen talking with each other, raising their hands and smiling at each other from time to time.

Looking around the Tanxi River, there is a deep corridor covered by green onion and bamboo, red crane corners, painted railings, rockery and winding water beside the bamboo, which is very artistic.

Tanxi went up to the verandah, turned around and walked to a side courtyard, there were quite a few servants, watering in the corners, cleaning, and a few other small maids brought tea to the main hall, on the saucers. They are all fine porcelain teacups with broken leaves. This alone can make people see some rules.

Tanxi smacked his lips, this big family really pays attention to many things, every behavior is followed by rules and regulations, and there is no freedom of restraint.

There are a lot of flowers and plants in this courtyard, especially crabapple and chrysanthemum.

Now is the time when autumn chrysanthemums are in full bloom, but you can see golden, snow-white and bright purple flower buds scattered among the thick green leaves, which are charming and lovely.

Tanxi walked forward along the flower bone, and walked under a tree for shade.There was a man kneeling in front of the door of the front room, wearing a light gown embroidered with camellias, with his hair pulled up in a high bun, his hairpin worn obliquely, and a pile of tattered scrolls scattered under his feet, rattling by the wind.

Although the man was kneeling in a bit of a panic, his waist was straight, and he was holding an old book upside down in his hand, but his head was tilted and his chin was tilted upwards.

Tan Xi's heart trembled, look at this virtue, who else could there be except Tan Zishi, the delicate young master of the Tan family?In the past ten years or so, he has grown into a seven-foot man even if he doesn't want to. Although he still has the arrogant temperament of his childhood, he can see a bit of heroism just by looking at his back.

Tanxi was curious, and couldn't help but walk around the eaves of the corridor to look in front of him.

As soon as he saw that face, Tan Xijiu couldn't help but slapped his mouth, and finally lived up to Master Tan's kindness.

Tanxi squinted her eyes, and when she looked closely, she sighed again in her heart, this pond has grown into a pretty boy who can touch all kinds of flowers and offend all kinds of grass.The facial features are fine, the eyebrows are affectionate, and there is a ruffian air in the sloppy manner.

Tanxi was looking at it, when a dejected boy came from the veranda, walked slowly to his master, and said softly: "Master, master said that I will recite this book today, when will I finish memorizing, when will... get up."

Hearing this, Tan Zi really stood up from the ground, brushed his knees slowly, threw the book on the ground, and began to untie his belt.

Seeing this, the young servant hurriedly persuaded him: "Young...Young master, you can't do it, sir, you always say that a gentleman dresses properly, if the master sees it, you can't..."

Tan Zishi rolled his eyelids, and the little servant immediately sealed his mouth, trying to persuade him but dared not, his face flushed red.

"Who are you from?"

The little slave said bluntly: "Master... the young one is of course my master."

Tanzi cast a glance at him angrily, "Then do you listen to me or your master?"

The little servant hurriedly bowed his head in the form of admiration, and stammered: "This... small, of course the small one is for Master Ting..."

"It's over now, what's the point, just put this on." As he said, he untied the golden and jade-encrusted waistband and stuffed it into the hands of the little servant, took off his outer robe, and put it on the little servant's shoulders. Let it go.

The little servant took the belt with trembling hands, trembling as if the gold and jade on the belt could overwhelm him, weakly asked: "Master, this is..."

"What nonsense, if I tell you to put it on, you can put it on."

"Yes, sir."

The little servant hurriedly put on the brocade gown, was about to put on the belt but was stopped by Tan Zishi, "Wait, you go and call Qin Qing'er for me first."

The little servant hurriedly took off his robe, returned it to the original owner, and ran outside in a hurry.

"Call Qing Gu over."

The little servant was running right away, when he heard the sound, he hurriedly stopped, turned his head and said: "Master, Qinggu is probably busy in the account room right now, look..."

Tan Zishi raised his hands to cover his face, and scolded: "You trash, you can't call anyone, just keep quiet, go quickly."

The little servant took the order and went away, Tanxi smiled secretly, being his family's servant must have been caused by doing too many crimes in the previous life.

The sun was a little hot outside, so Tan Zishi hugged his robe and moved under the eaves of the porch, standing beside Tanxi, leaning lazily on the window pane.

Tanxi moved aside nervously, three or four steps away from him.

The two stood like this for a while, Tan Xi couldn't help but squint his eyes, it was really pleasing to see Tan Zishi's face up close.This little white face is delicate and delicate, when the sun shines, the white face is a bit flushed, like a delicate flower, with a snow-white underwear lining, it does not have the majesty and demeanor of a gentleman at all.

Not long after, three people turned out from the veranda.

In front of him was the little servant, with very sharp legs and feet, followed by two people side by side, one of them was dressed as a servant, the other was a thin young man with regular features and a pink complexion, with one hand holding the sleeve of his robe and the other behind his back.

"Master, why are you looking for the younger one?" The one named Qin Qing stepped forward to salute first, and the other two stood behind him with their hands down.

Tanzi straightened up, a few streaks of black ash were printed on his snow-white underwear. "What is the master doing now?"

"Back to the young master, the master is talking with several masters from Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the hall."

Tanzi raised his chin, threw the robe and belt into Qin Qing's arms, and said, "Put this on, the little pigeon is too small."

Qin Qing was very obedient, put it on his body without blushing, fastened his belt, and asked, "Master, what are you doing?"

"Go and kneel in front of the old man's study for me. The little pigeon is standing on the porch to announce the news. You don't need to tell me that Butler Wen is here, just watch the master carefully."

Qin Qing and Xiao Gezi nodded in agreement, turned and walked away, leaving Qinggu standing outside the eaves happily.

The emerald parrot croaked a few times under the eaves, Tan Zishi hooked his fingers towards Qinggu, with a frivolous smile on his face.

Seeing this, Qing Gu posted it with a sneering smile.

Tanzi put his arms around his shoulders thick-skinned.

"Young master, let's see carefully in broad daylight..." Qing Gu pursed his lips and laughed, and pushed him against the wall.

Tanzi smiled, let go of his hand, walked two steps forward, pushed open a door, and invited him in.

The two whispered for a while.

Tan Zi said: "I asked you to find something outside, did you find it?"

Qing Gu smiled awkwardly, and said: "Master, the little one went out of the city and entrusted several people, and after searching for half a month, he finally found two people who were eye-catching."
