Brilliant Horse

A man dressed in green clothes, wearing a jade pendant, and sitting in a corner with a gauze cap on his head, quietly watched Fusheng and the carpenter gesturing there for a long time. Logically speaking, Fusheng has been in Beijing for many years, so the skill of bargaining should be proper. Why? I didn't kill it for half a day..

"Cough..." The man signaled them to stop, "Let's do this, everyone is in small business, don't make it difficult for you, just lower the price for me, and we will not buy from other places in Jufu Inn in the future, as long as you How about the table and chairs at home?"

"How much lower do you think is appropriate?" the young carpenter asked.

"Twenty sets of Ruyi square tables are five taels each, ten sets of Eight Immortals round tables are ten taels each, and ten sets of carved Sanyou canopy beds are 20 taels each, for a total of 400 taels." Mu Fanhua sighed softly. But it doesn’t matter, just go pawn some things. There are still a few things that have been kept in the house before. Speaking of the materials used by the carpenter, it is worth mentioning. This project is exquisite... The arhat bed under this body is really good.

400 taels!The carpenter nodded straight after hearing this, and said, "Hey, sir, the price is right, it's right, then when do you want it, son?"

"Get out within a month, oh, yes, why don't you give me this Arhat bed? After all, I will entrust you with the carpentry work for Jufu." Mu Fanhua touched the Arhat bed under him. , Oops, with a layer of fur, winter naps will be much more comfortable.

"This... This is the first set of arhat beds I have made. It's not good enough. Since you like it, son, you can take it."

"Success, send me to the Jufu Inn later." Mu Fanhua got up, and Aomori behind him stepped forward and handed the two bank notes to the carpenter, "This is the deposit, I'll give you the rest after it's done. " After saying that, Mu Fanhua strode out of the carpentry workshop.

Before the carpenter could react, he saw that the man in Tsing Yi had disappeared. He looked at the bank notes, and there were two 100 taels.

Fusheng led Mu Fanhua and Aomori through the streets, whenever they encountered these two masters and servants, passers-by would always look around, as if wearing a gauze hat didn't do much good.

"Master, 400 taels...is it too much? I don't seem to have enough money." Aomori whispered in his ear.

"It's a big deal to pawn some things. By the way, do you feel that no one is watching today?"

Aomori looked around, and then said: "Indeed, it was an illusion between the two of us yesterday, or..."

Mu Fanhua stopped suddenly, looked at Aomori, shook his head and remained silent, and continued to follow behind Fusheng. After a long time, he said: "You've been staying in the room recently, and you've been sleeping a bit. I want to see who dares to take The head on my son's neck...huh."

"Ah, master, what do you want to buy?" Fusheng suddenly approached and asked.

"Uh... Just take a look." Mu Fanhua said, "From now on, you can just call me Young Master. You don't have to follow Aomori's name. You have always bought Jufu's dishes, right?"

"It's your son. In fact, the cook bought it before. Later, the cook had bad legs and feet. Little Bahu told me to go to the kitchen to help. Then the cook taught me to go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables."

"Hmm..." Mu Fanhua asked again, "Then who do you buy your food from?"

"With everyone, what's your problem?"

Mu Fanhua looked at an old woman dressed in shabby clothes by the side of the road, pointed and said: "In the future, if you want to buy these poor people, you can buy from whoever looks at the poor." He squatted down as he spoke.

"Grandma, how do you sell this dish?"

"A handful of two copper coins, and two handfuls of three copper coins." The old woman gestured with her thin fingers, but suddenly realized that there was a noble man in extraordinary clothes in front of her, she retracted her hand again and her eyes became fearful.

"Grandma, don't be afraid, if you don't dislike it, how about you sell me your vegetables from now on?"

"This...this..." The old woman looked at the man in green with a gauze cap, her hands shaking the green vegetables.

"Aomori.."

Aomori took out three pennies from his purse and handed it to the old woman, and Fu Sheng hugged the few handfuls of vegetables left in front of the old woman. When the old woman realized it, she could only watch the back of the man in Tsing Yi drown in the crowd.

"Jufu Inn on Xiaoqing Street, grandma, remember to come." Fusheng shouted and ran away.

Fu Sheng came to Mu Fanhua's side, and said cheerfully: "Young master is really kind-hearted, unlike other noble sons, hehe..."

Mu Fanhua didn't respond, but just walked around the noisy vegetable market silently and then returned to Jufu silently. During the period, he just asked Fusheng to bring it to Aomori if he was unsure about buying vegetables next time.

Back in Jufu, Mu Fanhua was also exhausted, he didn't even eat lunch, and just fell asleep, and when he woke up, it was already dark.

Um?Arhat bed?They must have moved into the room while he was asleep, and it seemed that he slept soundly.When they went downstairs, everyone was busy counting Jufu's things, Xiaodou was busy moving vegetables, saw Mu Fanhua pacing down the stairs, Xiaodou rushed up, but when he was about to touch him, Xiaodou stood up straight again body.

"Son!"

"Huh?" Mu Fanhua responded while leaning on the guardrail.

"I heard from Brother Qing, son, you don't eat fish?" Xiaodou blinked.

"Ah."

"Can I feed Xiaodou?"

"Eat."

"My lord is not happy?" Seeing Mu Fanhua's indifferent response, Xiaodou couldn't help frowning.

"No, it's just that I don't feel comfortable sleeping."

"Master, you must have slept too much. I told you not to sleep too much. Master, what are you talking about today? Don't worry about me, just fall down and sleep in the dark." Aomori came from behind with a plate of fish.

Mu Fanhua rubbed his temples, feeling pain in his temples as if being pierced by a sharp object, and said: "Don't sleep, how are you going to catch mice tonight..."

"Master, are you going to catch mice tonight?" Xiaodou asked, blinking.

Mu Fanhua picked up a fish and put it into Xiaodou's bowl, and said, "Don't worry about the adult's business, the children will eat yours."

It stands to reason that the master and the servants should eat separately, but Mu Fanhua insisted on getting everyone together, saying that because he ate too coldly and had a bad appetite, he had to drag everyone together.

Wang Shi sat down, took two mouthfuls of rice, and suddenly said, "I'm leaving tomorrow, brother."

"Huh?" Mu Fanhua was startled.

"I haven't finished my homework. I've been away for so many days. It's time for my parents to talk about it. Come play with you when I have time." Wang Shi said.

"Well, in the future, when you come to Jufu to play, I will help you and settle the money for you on a daily basis, will it work?" Mu Fanhua laughed.

"Chengcheng, then I want to come more, and I can't give less money. Instead, I have to eat and drink enough."

Huba hit the back of Wang Shi's hand with his chopsticks, and cursed: "Little bastard, you know how to deceive people. Although the master of Jufu has changed, Jufu is still Jufu!"

"You don't care about me, old fritters. Jufu has become someone else's now. Hurry up and find a wife. You are so old. If you don't marry a wife, the incense will be broken." Wang Shi grimaced at Huba, Huba Ba was blushed by Wang Shi's anger, and his little beard was about to stand up.

"Master is full?" Aomori put down the bowl and chopsticks.

Mu Fanhua got up, responded indifferently, and walked straight back to the room. The others wanted to put down their bowls and chopsticks, but Aomori pushed them back.

Aomori did not pursue Mu Fanhua, but just sat at the door with his sword in his arms, and drank tea. Yes, that feeling came again, and not only outside the inn, but now inside the inn, it felt even stronger .

Mu Fanhua returned to the room, picked up a copy of "Strange Tales from a Liaozhai Studio", drank oolong tea and licked melon seeds, looking relished, but he didn't know what it was like to see him doing this with those eyes outside the window.Ashamed to say it, it was the first time that Mu Fanhua was so disturbed, he couldn't calm down to read a book at all, he just kept eating melon seeds, the hairs all over his body stood out.

Thinking about it, I also felt the same in the inn, but that person couldn't enter his room from the inn, so... there was more than one person.Mu Fanhua shuddered at the thought, but seemed to hear someone laughing.

"Who is it!" Mu Fanhua turned around and shouted.

But there is nothing in the room..

When I was born and returned, I dared not enter the fast, but the inner room of the dormitory, hanging in the air.At about one o'clock, when I heard the sound of a shovel outside the door, I dared not peep, so my wife peeked at it..

Seeing this, Mu Fanhua was so frightened that his whole body shrank...his body...couldn't move.Mu Fanhua's heart was pounding with fright, he must have really seen a ghost, it's impossible, he hasn't seen a ghost since he lived so long.He opened his mouth to call Aomori, but found that his lips and teeth could not move.

"Squeak——" The windows automatically move without wind, and the windows that were half open are now fully open.A gust of evil wind came from nowhere, scattered the melon seed shells on the table, overturned the book in Mu Fanhua's hand, and blew out the candles in the house.

"It's like...it's really like, oh..." A woman's heavy sigh rang in Mu Fanhua's ears, and he could even feel the woman's soft fingers brushing over his shoulders, his back, along his neck, caressing looking at his face.

"It's so similar, hehe..." The woman's hand suddenly pushed Mu Fanhua's handsome face aside.

"what--"

A blue-faced and fang-toothed face occupied Mu Fanhua's field of vision, Mu Fanhua was so frightened that he didn't know where the strength came from, and he hit the woman's chest with his palm, and was also thrown to the ground.

well?Can move?

Mu Fanhua turned his head to look, but only saw the hem of the black clothes floating out from the window, the fragrance...

"Young master!" Aomori broke into the door and found Mu Fanhua sitting in the dark, he helped Mu Fanhua up and asked, "Have you met?"

"I've seen it before..." Mu Fanhua sat on the chair in a daze.

Seeing this, Aomori was thoughtful, and didn't dare to ask again, "Young Master, do you want to take a bath?"

"Well, let's go and see the incense tomorrow..." Mu Fanhua's eyes were blank, Aomori led him, and he would just pace around foolishly, dragging his body.

That night, he dreamed of that woman, with a blue-faced fangs mask covering her body, she was wearing a black costume, dancing beside him, wrapping her black sleeves around his neck, and finally he Woke up by this suffocation.

"Aomori..." He supported the edge of the bed and got up, but he couldn't use any strength in his legs and feet. He seemed to be pushed and fell to his knees.

"Young master..." Aomori entered the room with a copper basin, and found Mu Fanhua, who was only wearing a white undershirt, lying on the ground, if he thought it was a ghost at night.

Aomori helped Mu Fanhua back to the bed, and found that his face had haggarded a lot overnight, his eye circles were dark, and his complexion turned yellow. Could it be that he was going to be sick.

"Do I look haggard?" Mu Fanhua touched his face, it felt like it was written in a book that the female ghost had absorbed his energy.

Aomori didn't answer, just wiped Mu Fanhua's face and hands, washed up, and suddenly said: "I saw a woman with a white gauze outside the door of the inn..."

Mu Fanhua, who was still sick at first, heard this and got bloody, his eyes lit up instantly, he began to dress himself, and went downstairs in two steps.

"Where?" Mu Fanhua asked.

"She's..." Aomori whispered in his ear.

"Ah—" A skinny woman at the corner in front of Jufu Gate was startled by Aomori who suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, turned around and was about to run, Mu Fanhua blocked her way with a haggard face, she He screamed again in fright.

"Who are you..." Mu Fanhua stretched out his hand to tear off the woman's veil, but the woman covered her face and took two steps back, bumping into Aomori's arms.

"I..I.." Mu Fanhua and Aomori aggressively shrank the woman into a corner.

Mu Fanhua leaned closer and took a deep breath..

"It's not her..." He was slightly lost, "Who the hell are you!" Mu Fanhua suddenly pointed his sword at the woman.

Jingchai sarong...white veil...doesn't look like a woman from a wealthy family, and she can't even afford incense.

"I...I am Xiaodou's mother..." The woman lowered her head and shed two lines of tears.

"Xiaodou..." Aomori looked surprised.

"Are you that child's mother?" Mu Fanhua felt a lump in his chest, suddenly heaved a sigh of relief, supported the wall, and stared at her viciously.

"Go, go in and talk." Aomori supported Mu Fanhua, intending to invite the woman into the inn.

The genius has just turned pale, and there are few pedestrians. The woman chooses to come at this time, maybe she doesn't want others to see her.

"No need, ahem, I came here just to take a peek at Xiaodou and then left. I didn't expect to be stopped by you..." the woman said.

"Why don't you show people with your face?" Mu Fanhua asked.

"I'm suffering from a bad disease, and I'm afraid of passing it on to others. If it weren't for this bad disease, I wouldn't have sent Xiaodou away, cough."

"Should I tell you about that child's life experience?" Mu Fanhua leaned against Aomori's arms, feeling dizzy.

The woman looked at the two of them, hesitated for a while, and said slowly.

"Xiaodou's father went to the army. After he left for a few days, I found out that I was pregnant with Xiaodou. Xiaodou was a good boy and helped me to grow vegetables. But one day I started to cough non-stop. The doctor said it was tuberculosis. There is no cure, so I gave Xiaodou away...cough. If possible, I hope you will pay attention to a man named Lu Jia, who is Xiaodou's biological father, cough." The woman coughed up a mouthful of blood onto the white veil , so frightened that Aomori took Mu Fanhua back two steps.

"I used to drink medicine, but recently I really ran out of money. I quietly pretended to lose the remaining savings, and then let Xiaodou pick it up. Recently, my illness has become more and more...cough, and my body can no longer hold on. It’s already the limit to get here.” The woman took off her veil, and took out another piece of ordinary cloth from her sleeve to cover it, “I heard that the Jufu Inn has changed its owner, so I think it must be you, my lord. For the sake of me who is about to die, I hope you will treat Xiaodou kindly...cough."

After the woman finished speaking, she put a dog tooth on the ground and ran away with all her strength. In fact, even if she didn't run away, Aomori and Mu Fanhua didn't intend to chase her.

Mu Fanhua kicked Gouya far away, kicking up a layer of soil, Aomori looked at Mu Fanhua puzzled, Mu Fanhua only said: "From now on, this child has no mother." Walk back to the inn.

It seems that I need to invite a doctor to take a look. I have to support the wall when I walk.

Mu Fanhua was lying by the door of the inn, his legs were so weak that he was about to continue walking.

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-" Mu Fanhua saw a dart with a piece of paper embedded in the wall.Mu Fanhua looked in the direction of the dart, but found nothing. He took off the paper:

I know your situation, and I will give you 500 taels. You need to do two things for me. The first thing is to make Jufu famous in Kyoto, and the second thing will be delivered after the first one is done.

"That person?" Mu Fanhua said to himself.

Aomori also saw it, and didn't say anything, but this word is vigorous, unrestrained and arrogant, it doesn't seem to be a woman's handwriting...

"Hehe... Even if you hide anywhere, as long as I'm here, you'll be in trouble..." Aomori returned to the room with Mu Fanhua by his arm.

The doctor came to see it, and only said that he was frightened and needed rest. He prescribed two prescriptions and left with his things.Mu Fanhua was not so frightened that he forgot the wound on his shoulder, and even asked the doctor for some medicine to remove the scar. No matter how sick he was, it was not as important as being a handsome man.

Since that day, the feeling of being watched has gone, but comes and goes.

While Mu Fanhua was convalescing, he also took care of some restless villains by the way.

Come to think of it, this Hu period is really a lot of things, if you don't throw dung at the gate of Jufu, you don't have to suffer this crime.Mu Fanhua was ill for a few days, Hu Qi had someone quietly break the feces at the door, and he knew who did it, Hu Ba was so angry that he drank two patches of medicine before he recovered.

During Mu Fanhua's recuperation period, he didn't want to unload him, so Fusheng and Xiaodou quietly ran to the door of the Eight Immortals Building in the middle of the night to draw a big Taoist formation, pasted a talisman in the middle, and left a letter Letter to Hu Qi.Hu Qi was frightened at first, but he thought it was just scary, so he ignored it. Mu Fanhua sent Fu Sheng and Xiaodou to pretend to be ghosts to scare the buddies of Baxian Building at night.It was so frightening that all the buddies in Baxianlou shivered and muttered behind their backs during the day.

Later, Hu Qi probably had a guilty conscience and was frightened by the buddy's gossip, so he came to apologize within a few days. He went from Daqing Street to Xiaoqing Street with drums and gongs, making it known all over the city. Fu is also known by people.Mu Fanhua was still worried about how to attract customers, but now that it's over, there will definitely be customers once it opens.
