unlucky ghost

Tanzi hurriedly said, "Hurry up! Take those two crickets out and let me have a look."

Tanxi leaned over to the door and took a look, and saw Qinggu took off a small black box from his waist with a serious face, and there were two chirps inside.

Tanzi couldn't wait to pick it up, opened the lid and poured it on the table, and out came out a fluffy yellow thing, flapped his two soft wings and jumped a few times, Tanzi looked really weird.

Isn't this just a chick that just broke its shell? !

Tanxi rolled her eyes, the young master who was raised in the courtyard of the deep house is really a fucking fool.

Tan Zishi pinched the chick's neck, raised it to his eyes and widened his eyes, and said angrily, "This is also called the one that catches the eye. You only catch it when it turns yellow. The few chicks I saw outside yesterday were all exquisite. Small and shiny..." Tan Zishi curled his lips, and said, "This is really not good, even the tentacles are gone, and it sounds very ugly. It's so big, it's not annoying to take it out. Are you saying that I bully the small with the big?"

Qing Gu was taken aback, his face twitched as if struck by lightning, and he said: "Oh... Lord, this... this is not a cricket."

Tanzi was stunned.

Qing Gu said again: "This... this thing is actually called a chicken, the kind that can be killed and made into roast chicken..."

Tan Zishi was stunned again, his eyebrows flew sideways, and he blamed: "You think I'm stupid, how can a chicken be so small, the drumsticks I eat are bigger than it."

Tanxi and Qinggu secretly thought at the same time: You are indeed stupid.

"...Master, this is actually a chicken, it's... er... a young chicken, and when it grows up, it will naturally become the chicken that the young master said."

Tanzi threw the chick onto the table in a hurry, the chick rolled over and nearly fell, and was caught in Qing Gu's arms with quick eyesight and quick hands.

"Don't you know it as a master, you still need to teach me." Tan Zishi patted the table, and said angrily: "Master, I told you to catch two crickets, why do you catch a chicken, deliberately?" Fool me."

Qinggu hurriedly apologized, stepped forward to squeeze his soft back and flattered him, and said: "Master, the little one brought back two days ago are indeed two crickets, they are the kind of black and shiny, small and exquisite crickets that the master said. Cheng wants to ask this little chicken to be eaten. Master, the little one is really innocent."

Tanzi got angry for a while, Qinggu hurriedly ran to the front and beat his legs again.

The poor little chicken turned up from the ground and ran towards Tanxi screaming aggrievedly.Tanxi looked at it pitifully, reached out to stop it, and touched its head, but found nothing.

The little chicken ran too fast, couldn't stop for a while, bumped its head on the threshold, and backed away dizzy.

"Come on, look at its stupid appearance, it's quite cute. You can raise it for me first, and then go out in a few days and catch two more crickets for me." Tanzi said. Knocked on Qing Gu's head, and glanced towards the door.

Tanxi hurriedly stopped, for fear that Tan Zishi would see her again.

Qinggu straightened his clothes, went to the door to put away the chick, turned around and said: "Master, the accountant still has something to do, don't delay, the younger one will leave first." Just before stepping out, he turned back and said, "Master, Remember to come tonight, I just asked Jiang Han to bring some spring wine yesterday, so it’s good for the brothers to have a good night together."

Tan Zishi leaned halfway on the table, propped his chin on one hand, and nodded.

When Qing Gu went to the veranda, there was a chubby figure vaguely running in the shadows of the bamboo, the little pigeon bowed and saluted with a low eyebrow, and said: "Hello, Steward Wen."

Wen Zhong waved his hands, stood under the corner eaves and looked into the courtyard.

The little pigeon said courteously: "Uncle Wen, the young master has been kneeling since the morning, and has been endorsing the book under the sun. The little one is kind enough to step forward to cover him, but he refuses. Yue, you should be punished today, and kneel until the master is satisfied... Uncle Wen, the young master's behavior is a bit rough, but this kind of filial piety is rare..." He was about to wipe away tears, "Uncle Wen, look He is spoiled and spoiled, how did he suffer from the poisonous sun, for the sake of his filial piety and sincerity, I hope you, Wen Bo, will intercede, you are the most important person in front of the master."

The little pigeon was the best flatterer, and praised both the young master and Wen Bo to the sky.

Wen Zhong held his big belly and smiled, craned his neck to look into the yard, under the scorching sun, his young master was indeed kneeling upright, and said: "No wonder your master sent this and that, I just kept you, you are very slippery."

The little pigeon hurriedly smiled and said: "Thank you Wen Bo for the compliment, everyone in the Tan residence is eloquent and resourceful, the young master is able to avoid suffering, it all depends on Wen Bo to say more good things to the master gone."

Old Butler Wen nodded happily, and staggered back.

Tanzi breathed a sigh of relief, and lay lazily on the bed, refusing to move any more.

It was almost noon, and the sun was scorching hot.

Tanxi felt that the light outside was too dazzling, so she walked slowly into the room, sat lightly by the table, pinched her sleeves and fanned the wind for a while, the scorching heat on her face gradually disappeared.

I don't know how long I sat there, but I could hear the sound of needles falling in the room, and outside the door the cicadas were screaming hoarsely.

Tanzi, who was sleeping on the bed, moved his arms, and there was a long and thin sound of sleeping, which was indescribably peaceful.

Tanxi looked sideways at Tan Zishi, closed her eyes tightly, and inadvertently pursed her mouth, with a faint look of indulgence on her face, like a quiet child without the arrogance and domineering arrogance of the day.

Tanxi was watching in rapt attention, when she suddenly heard a few women's laughter, which seemed to come from the couch.

Tanxi looked left and right, but there was no sign of him, as if he was hallucinating.

Tan Xi rubbed her ears, but when she heard the voice getting louder and more flirtatious, Tan Xi's head began to feel dizzy, and there was a chill behind her.

Just as he was in a daze, two people came thumping outside the house, one was small and exquisite, with a bit of dexterity between his brows and eyes, the other was wearing an ill-fitting robe, but his face was more honest and calm, they came to the door together, Calling repeatedly: "Young master, young master, wake up quickly."

The Tanzi on the couch moved, and the laughter gradually dissipated, and Tanxi's head began to clear up, and it was clear that the people who came were Xiao Gezi and Qin Qing.

Tan Zishi wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, got up sleepily, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The little pigeon said: "Master, just now Uncle Wen came to look at it, but he didn't see that it was Qin Qing. The little one said that the master was kneeling all the time, so Uncle Wen went to the front yard to intercede for the master, and asked me to come and tell you to go to the side courtyard. You don’t have to kneel anymore when eating, and I also told you that you must never do it again in the future, otherwise..."

Tan Zishi raised his hand to stop the little servant, yawned, and asked very wearily: "Understood, where are the master and the others eating?"

"Master, Master is having dinner in the main hall with several old clubs from Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

Tan Zishi stood up and said: "Their gang of bad old men are eating fish and meat in the main hall, eating good wine and good food, throwing me alone in the dilapidated side courtyard to eat some green vegetables and radishes without oil and water. I still want to join in the fun today."

The little pigeon hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, and said with a sneer, "Hey...my lord, you can't do it..."

Tan Zishi lowered his eyes and gave him a hard look, and said: "I can't help it, if I don't show my face again, those old men will think that I have no children in Tanfu."

The little pigeon hurriedly persuaded: "Old Mr. Zhuge often said that if you want to have a pure heart and few desires, you have to eat a light diet..."

Qin Qing also stepped forward to stop him, took off his robe and put it on Tan Zishi, and said: "Master, put on your clothes first, at least you can't lose face in front of those big merchants, right?"

Tan Zishi stood in front of the couch, obediently put on his robe, Xiao Gezi smiled and tied the belt of the robe for him, and carefully tucked the corner of the robe.

After they were dressed, Tan Zishi pushed the two of them away and walked away.

The little pigeon looked as if it was in imminent disaster, and stretched out its hand to stop it, but then retracted tremblingly.

Qin Qing stopped him and said, "My lord, I don't think I have to go. My lord's imposing demeanor, I'm afraid I'll ask those bad old men to stop me for a long time, lord, you are the most annoying person." Praise, but I feel uncomfortable eating after going there.”

Tanxi secretly thought, Master Tan probably feared that he would lose his own person in front of outsiders, and these two little slaves were better at flattering each other.

Tan Zishi stopped and tapped the tip of his fan on his palm, hesitating.

The little pigeon said at the right time: "Master, if you think the food is too bland, I will secretly go to the dining room to prepare some meat dishes for you, sir, would you like it?"

Qin Zhong followed suit and said, "Master Jiang's family runs a small wine shop. Although the business is not good, they have a lot of good wine in their possession. If you are not young, go to Mr. Jiang's to get some good wine, so that you can give it to your grandfather." order?"

Tan Zishi nodded in agreement, Qin Zhong rushed out the door first, but was called back by Tan Zishi.

Qin Zhong bowed and said, "What else can I order?"

Tanzi walked up to him thoughtfully, and said, "Don't ask Jiang Han for wine, go out and buy some now, the small wine from Linchuan Building will do."

Qin Zhong nodded in agreement, turned and walked away.

"You go and call Lingyu Qinggu and the others to come over, make the movement quieter."

The little pigeon panicked and said: "Master, yesterday the master punished you for this matter, but today..."

Tan Zishi ironed the fan and shook it, then glared at him.

The little pigeon nodded hurriedly and said, "I'll do it now, little one."

Tan Zishi nodded slightly, stepped out of the door, and turned to the corridor.

Tanxi followed out of the small courtyard, turned into the veranda together, followed to the front yard, then turned through an arched door, and arrived at a side courtyard, where Tanzi actually entered one of the doors.

The maids and mother-in-law started to deliver meals to the room sparsely.

Tanxi always felt that the courtyard was very hot and stuffy, so she didn't want to approach it, but stood far away under the shade of the arch.

After a while, three white-faced young men with the appearance of scholars came from the counting room. They all wore soft satin gowns, with sachets and brocade jade around their waists, and their temples were neatly tidied up. They all walked towards Tanxi together.

The first two walked with their mouths pursed and talking and laughing, one of them was Qing Gu, and the one behind them was somewhat restrained, looked down at the road, and kept silent.

When the three of them walked to the inner courtyard, another man came out from the counting room. He was wearing a purple water-patterned gown. He was a bit frail, with a lazy expression on his face. Fu came out again, lazily walking towards the arch.

Tanxi recognized that the man was Jiang Han.
