unlucky ghost

Tan Zishi turned his neck and looked out the window. Master Tan sat opposite him with a sad face.

"You bastard, you don't all depend on the Liu family to have the glory and wealth you have today. If you dare to cause any trouble today, I will not let you go!" Master Tan scolded him fiercely.

"Yes, my son doesn't dare." Tanzi raised the curtain of the car listlessly and looked out.

The two of them didn't speak any more along the way.

Tan Xidan knew that the Liu family had a big business, but he didn't expect it to be so big.

But when the group arrived at Liu's house, the double-opened red lacquered gates were covered with red silk and colorful lights; inside the high walls, Yao windows and green gauze complex pavilions and pavilions, with uneven ups and downs without seeing the edge, the magnificence is far beyond what ordinary people can see.

Tanxi smacked her lips, she was a big family, compared with Tan Mansion, it was nothing short of insignificant.

Such a big family with hairpin tassels, the head of the family's [-]th birthday, came to celebrate his birthday, and naturally there were not a few people who fawned on him.

Outside the gate, the canopy chariots and horses rode next to each other, blocking a long street for pedestrians, and the passing chariots and horses all took a detour wisely.The townsfolk who wanted to watch the excitement were all driven half a street away by the servants.

The Tan family's carriage was also parked far outside the door, and there were many splendid carriages in front of them. The carriages and horses were surrounded by people who came to celebrate the birthday, and the servants' arms were full of birthday gifts.

"When will we wait? The old man of the Liu family is quite arrogant, and I haven't seen him come out to greet him." Tan Zishi looked away from the window.

Master Tan scolded: "You bastard, don't be rude!"

Tan Zishi shut his mouth obediently, and turned his eyes to the outside of the carriage.

"The people who came to celebrate the birthday today are all respectable elders. Don't talk about it anymore. You are not afraid of losing face. Your father and I can't afford to lose face anymore." Master Tan finally gave him a hard-hearted reprimand.

Tanzi didn't even look at his father, and replied lazily.

Master Tan opened the corner of the curtain again and called out, "Little Pigeon?"

The little pigeon hurriedly smiled and bent over to take a step forward, listening attentively.

"When you enter Liu's mansion, you must follow the young master closely. If you make a wrong step or say a wrong sentence, you two will settle the score!"

The little pigeon replied with a bitter face: "Yes! Master." This is clearly trying to settle accounts with himself.

Tan Zishi snorted coldly, and said in his heart: If you don't ask me to talk, I'm too lazy to talk.

The carriage in front stopped step by step, and servants in festive clothes kept coming out of the mansion to greet the guests with smiles.

The two sons of Liu's family stood on both sides of the gate, with dignified appearance and smiling, bowed their hands to the people who came to celebrate their birthday, and invited them inside one by one.

Seeing that the sun was getting higher and higher, the cars and horses in front were still surrounded by water.

Tan Zishi couldn't help but said: "Father, I don't think I'm going. There are so many people, when will I be able to see my old father-in-law?"

Master Tan raised the corner of the curtain to look outside again, his face darkened, and he hurriedly winked at Tanzi.

Tan Zishi shut his mouth obediently, and got out of the car with Master Tan, when a group of luxuriously dressed people came to this compartment.

The first one was a skinny old man dressed in dark blue satin, with thin cheeks and a long silver-white beard hanging down his chest. His skinny fingers were tightly holding a black-purple spirit stick. , walked up to Master Tan and threw his cane to the attendant behind him, tremblingly hugged his hands and saluted Master Tan.

"Brother Tan Xian, how have you been recently?"

Master Tan hurriedly returned the gift, and said with a smile: "It's still good, thank you for your concern."

The elder of the Liu family supported Master Tan and laughed again and again, stroking his beard and said: "Today, there are a lot of guests, and I am too busy to come here at the moment. It is really my brother's fault to ask my virtuous brother to wait outside."

"Don't say that, my little brother just waited for a while, hesitating not to go in, I'm afraid the younger generation will laugh at me if I don't show courtesy." Master Tan said with a smile.

"I can't say that. You are very happy to come here for my brother. It is a hundred times better than any gifts from the mountains of gold and silver." The elder of the Liu family did not put on airs, and took the arm of Master Tan to pass through the chariot and horses. go.

The master of the Liu family walked ahead, followed by the two sons of the Liu family.

Of these two young masters, one has a round complexion, is quite blessed, and is wearing an official robe printed with gold, as if he has just rushed back from the palace to hold a birthday party, the other is as thin and solid as Mr. Liu, with solemn eyebrows and eyes , slightly old-fashioned.

Tan Zishi followed behind the two sons with his head drooping, stepping on their shadows and walking forward, the little pigeon Qin Qing guarded from left to right, followed by a group of neatly dressed servants from the Liu family, who helped move Tan's house Congratulations.

"My virtuous brother, didn't you say that you want to bring my virtuous son-in-law here to pay homage to the old man? In the past, you always said that the child was young, and you were afraid that he would make jokes. Now it's time to grow up?" the elder of the Liu family said, turning his head around. Looking at it, he said, "Could it be that you are cheating on me again?"

Tan Zishi pursed his lips, and muttered in his heart: Old man, it's no wonder you had to take me out. Am I so shameless?

"Who dares to lie to you, big brother? It's right there." Master Tan raised his hand and pointed at Ren Feng, and the two young masters in front hurriedly moved away from both sides.

Everyone looked at the young master of the Tan family in unison.

Tanzi was really thick-skinned, but it was the first time he was stared at by so many people, his face was a little embarrassed, and his hands were unconsciously shrunk into his sleeves.

The little pigeon hurriedly poked Tan Zishi's arm with his hand.

Tan Zi hurriedly clasped his hands in salute and said, "I have seen Uncle Liu."

The elder of the Liu family laughed, and said to Master Tan: "I often hear people say that the young master of your Tan residence is a good-looking young master who is a dragon and phoenix among people. Seeing you today, you really deserve your reputation."

Only then did Master Tan heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Brother, don't praise him, he just has a pleasing skin, but he is actually an ignorant bastard. If you praise him, maybe his tail will be pleasing to the eye." It's been up to several days."

The young man in the official robe also bowed and saluted, and praised: "The father is too modest. I think your son is tall and straight, describing him as a handsome man, with aura in his eyes. Even if he does nothing now, he will definitely do it in the future." Make a big deal."

Tan Zishi smiled slightly at him.

The other young master frowned, just staring at his face, as if he wanted to see a hole.

"You bastard, if you don't salute the two older brothers, it's useless to teach you so many principles of life!"

Tan Zi was not happy just now, he received another training from his father, bowed his face with a broken face and said: "I have seen two senior brothers."

The elder of the Liu family hurriedly helped him up, and said: "You are a distinguished guest here, don't listen to your old man's lecture. Today, on my birthday, it is serious to have fun with everyone."

Tan Zishi nodded in agreement, but felt that his face was dull and did not dare to look up at the expressions of the crowd.It's really embarrassing to be thrown out of the house today, this old thing doesn't save him face in front of outsiders.

Master Tan glared at him, and then helped the elder of the Liu family to go into the mansion.

A group of people walked to the gate of the mansion, and an old man with a white beard got out of a big carriage next to the gate, wearing a red official uniform, followed by an old woman with frosted temples, all smiling and walking towards the crowd .

Master Liu hurriedly turned sideways, smiled and saluted, "Master Gu, I haven't seen you for a long time, so you're well."

The man hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Brother Ren's [-]th birthday today, why didn't the family inform him in the morning, it's really... not kind."

The old woman behind him also said: "Yes, no matter what, you have been an official in the same dynasty for thirty years. You are so out of touch, even a woman with little knowledge like me can't see it."

Master Liu raised his hand to invite people to the mansion, and said, "Sister-in-law is really wronging my younger brother. Brother Gu is busy with official duties in the court, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a lot of time to deal with. How dare you bother about such a small matter."

The young man in the official robe also said: "Master Gu, I'm going to come out and call for my father's grievances. I thought that my lord is busy with work and must not come, so I sent the post yesterday, and my father was still talking about it." , after the birthday, and at the end of the new year, my lord is free anyway, so I will carry it to the house in a big sedan chair to make up for my birthday."

After all, everyone laughed for a while.

Master Gu jokingly said: "I don't think any kind of father may have such a kind of son. If your father is half as tactful as you are, he may not be a prime minister now."

The elder of the Liu family smiled and said: "Old cunning, you don't want to show me any sympathy, but you think my old face is not black enough?"

Talking and laughing, everyone has already entered the gate of the mansion. The bright red felt is spread on the bluestone road, leading directly to the high hall. There have been officials and gentry waiting for a long time. The author has something to say:
