Xue Panzhi's gossip red mansion

In Jinling City, there are very few people who are not open-eyed to offend the Xue family. In recent years, the Xue family has a good reputation among the people. , The Xue family's business has also been added a word "Confucianism" before the word "Shang".After Xue Pan won the small three yuan, although he is no longer in Jinling, his deeds seem to be spread more widely, and the outstanding demeanor at the tea poetry meeting from Fujian is all for the Xue family and Xue Panping. Gained a brilliance.

The three or five tall thugs in front of the frame knew at a glance that they were blocking the way they shouldn't be blocking, and they also calmed down. Dang Gui said, "I'm sorry, the little ones are too blind to see Mount Tai, and shocked the frame of your house, this is the solution, get out of the way immediately."

While speaking, the old man looked at Feng Yuan, and then at the girl Xiangling. After all, it was his bad luck that he was caught by the Xue family. In order not to cause unexpected troubles, he impatiently told Feng Yuan Said, "50 taels of silver, I will marry her to you. Being a father is not easy for me. There is no rice in the house, so I point out that this girl can marry better and help the family. "

Feng Yuan listened at the side, 50 taels of silver was really a lot, and he couldn't come up with the money all at once.When I went to drink in the door a few days ago, I happened to spend a lot of money and spent ten taels of silver to go out. I still have to sell some calligraphy and paintings to have enough money.But looking at the old man's appearance, it is absolutely impossible to say that he has no money in his hand, otherwise something may happen, "Then we have agreed, 50 taels of silver is the bride price, you can't change it, or I will Not a good-tempered person! Don't even say whether you are Xiangling's real father or not!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?!" The old man yelled guiltyly, "Who is not her own father? Ask her if I provided her with food and drink! You can't be unconscionable as a person, if it weren't for the family I won't treat my children harshly if I can't uncover the blame."

Danggui looked at the old man's lie and seemed to be quite smooth, but Feng Yuan didn't have the heart to argue with the other party, it was reasonable to marry him over, don't say anything else, Xiangling will have nothing to do with them in the future.Feng Yuan glanced obsessively at the girl beside her with a cinnabar mole between her eyebrows. He had always been masculine, and he never thought that he would be unable to move his eyes away because of a woman's glance.

"You've got to look at the little ones' business. I'm sorry to waste your time." The old man heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Feng Yuan stopped talking, and turned to Angelica. He was afraid that Xue's family would intervene. Take care of it.

To be honest, he was determined not to just sell the pretty Xiangling like this, but the big cleansing in Xunyan a few months ago made all the people doing illegal business here in Lianghuai arrested. .The old man had nothing to do with the Hualou where the accident happened, and escaped the catastrophe only by escaping quickly.I want to clear out the inventory in my hand now, so as not to live in fear.

Xiangling is a well-behaved person who doesn't like to make a sound. The old man Feng Yuan is a little reluctant to sell it at this price, but judging by Feng Yuan's appearance, it is just that the family has a little income. , were all wounded in prison, or were already under the watchful eye of their parents.He had no choice but to sell the person for 50 taels.

This Feng Yuan was planning in his mind that it would be better to sell the calligraphy and painting to get the price. He couldn't wait for the crops on the village to come up during the Chinese New Year before going to redeem the person, for fear that things would change if it was too late.

Xue Pan sent Baochai to the bookstore, still thinking about what happened just now, so he called for Angelica. "Go and find out everything about those people. That man should be short of cash. Let's see if he has anything he wants to sell. If it's suitable, it's okay for us to take it."

Speaking of it, Xue Pan didn't know that these two people had a grievance with him in the original fate. He just looked at the old man's appearance and guessed that this girl was abducted from a young age, so she developed such a personality. character.To talk about why he is so sure, Xue Pan is proficient in painting, and the girl's face and bones have nothing in common with the old man.But she said that she still had a faint scholarly atmosphere, which was very inconsistent with the old man, and she didn't know where her original family was.In this way, behind the old man is a gang of kidnappers, and he doesn't like Xue Pan, who has been abducting and selling children since childhood, and even hates him deeply.In order not to scare the snakes, he asked Nepeta and Huangqi to investigate clearly, and when the ghosts and snakes dared not breathe in the south of the Yangtze River, he threw away the evidence and handed them over to the government for proper handling.

Angelica was very efficient in handling affairs, so she inquired clearly the next morning. "Master, that man's name is Feng Yuan. There is no one else in the family. His parents died early and he still has a small fortune. There is a Zhuangzi in the outskirts of Jinling. He likes to drink and listen to music on weekdays. I don't know what happened a few days ago. The girl who fell in love with old man Zheng was the one who didn't seem to say a word. Feng Yuan wanted to marry as a concubine, but the old man seemed to want to hang him and get a good price. But the girl was not the old man's own. , There seems to be other movement in that small courtyard."

"There is no one in Feng Yuan's family anymore?!" Xue Pan was concerned about another matter, "Then what are the names of his ancestors?"

Dang Gui was taken aback by the question, and the uncle still wanted to investigate the three generations of the Feng family. Fortunately, he had done enough homework and was not afraid of being asked, "Great-grandfather is Feng Wu, grandfather is Feng Ruo, and father is Feng Sheng. Upwardly, there are two I can't find out what happened during the war in the dynasty, and the original place of the Feng family should not be in Jinling."

Xue Pan smiled slowly, this family is really interesting, calling their son Feng Yuan, isn't it a homonym for "meeting injustice".Forget it, the names from the lineage of great-grandfather are even more interesting when combined, they even sound homonymous to 'fall into the abyss by mistake', whether it was intentional or unintentional. "Let's go, let's go to that Zhuangzi to have a look."

"Master, is that Zhuangzi of the Feng family?" Danggui didn't know what the uncle was going to do, how could he care about someone who had nothing to do with him, if Xue Pan had sympathy, if he met a kidnapper or something like that, then he should care It should also be right for that girl.And for those who do not seek to make progress, the uncle has always been not interested, but this time it is the other way around.

Of course Xue Pan would not explain anything to Danggui, he didn't take many people with him, and Danggui and the two rushed to Feng's Zhuangzi in a simple car.The scenery there was not bad, Dang Gui looked at Xue Pan's interested expression and said a few more words, "Master, the scenery here is really good, in front is the Yunan Dam of Jinling, this area is surrounded by streams, The open space ahead is the best time to fly a kite in autumn."

Xue Pan gave him a deep look when he heard Dang Gui's words, and Dang Gui was at a loss as to what's wrong with this old man, he looked weird.

"Hasn't Feng Yuan collected enough money?" Xue Pan asked another seemingly irrelevant question.

Dang Gui shook her head, "Young Master Feng is not stupid, he has sold a painting at a pawn shop, but his item is not a rare thing, it is not made by a celebrity, it is a painting from the previous dynasty, no one paid 20 taels of silver. "

"Go back to the city immediately, we bought the painting." Xue Pan thought of a possibility, lost his leisurely mood, and jumped into the carriage before Angelica could react. .

"Master, wait for the younger one, the younger one is the one to drive." Dang Gui also jumped up in a hurry, seeing Xue Pan's anxious look, and immediately drove into the city, hurrying slowly, fortunately, no one was knocked down on the road. Feng Yuan's door stopped and went to call the door.

The old servant told Feng Yuan that when the Xue family came to look for him, he hadn't reacted yet. When he saw Angelica, he realized that the frame that was blocked yesterday should belong to the Xue family. Which company came out with the frame. "I don't know what Uncle Xue is talking about here?"

Xue Pan returned to normal on the surface, "I also heard about yesterday's incident in the car. Later, I heard that Mr. Feng is a generous man who donates money. That old man doesn't seem like a good stubble. I'm afraid that if Mr. Feng is late..."

Feng Yuan's complexion was not very good. It is not surprising that Xue Pan knew about his going to the pawn shop in the morning. Xue Pan has many shops in Jinling, so it is normal to know that he wants to be a calligraphy and painting.There is also the generous donation of money, doesn't it mean that you spend generously, and you can't redeem people if you don't have any money left.However, looking at Xue Pan's clear and kind face, he should have come to help.yes!Why didn't I think that Xue Pan heard their conversation yesterday, maybe he did a good deed every day to help himself, such a good person is really rare!

After thinking so much, Feng Yuan felt embarrassed, "Hurry up and come inside, please forgive me for the shabby house. Speaking of which, I made you laugh yesterday. The cash at home will not be turned around until the end of the month, but there is an urgent need for money right now. , I want to make a calligraphy and painting, but it is not a famous artist to take things, 20 taels is really..."

"Brother Feng, why don't you take a look at the calligraphy and painting?" Xue Pan didn't seem to care about his embarrassment at all. Looking at the furnishings in the room, thinking about Feng Yuan's money-handling, he sighed in his heart. How can he live a good life when he is old? I hope he can rest easy after marrying that girl.However, he can't control it so far. What he cares about is calligraphy and painting. "Most of the guys in the pawn shop only look at the signing and withdrawal of money. People who really love painting don't care if it's done by famous artists."

Feng Yuan was right when he thought about it. He knew Xue Pan's talent and name. It was rumored that Uncle Xue's paintings were unique and lifelike. Much better in hand.

"Brother Xue, I'll get it right away, just wait a moment. By the way, Lao Qiu, let's serve tea!"

Xue Pan shook his head, Feng Yuan was really informal.As soon as they spoke, they were already brothers. In Xue Pan's opinion, it was a good thing that Feng Yuan was not defensive.Then Xue Pan's eyes fell on Feng Yuan's painting. The painting technique of this painting is not outstanding, it is considered a landscape painting, the composition is not clear, but the proportion of white space is wrong.In the picture, there is a cliff directly opposite the cliff of the waterfall, and there seems to be a man in white standing on it.

Xue Pan gestured to Feng Yuan before taking the painting in his hand, and stroked the paper lightly.Experts can tell if there is one as soon as they make a move. Xue Pan, relying on the appreciation skills cultivated in his previous life, immediately felt something wrong with this thing. It is a picture-in-picture.

"Brother Feng, I'm not going to tell a lie, this thing is not very good. But the aura of looking at the waterfall from the abyss is not bad, 40 taels of silver, no, it's better to make up a whole number of 50 taels, how about our deal. "

As soon as Xue Pan's plain words came out, Feng Yuan was even more grateful. How could he not know that this thing is actually not good, and he also didn't know why it was not enough to change wine after hiding it at home for all these years.Xue Pan offered 50 taels, which further convinced Feng Yuan that Xue Pan was doing good deeds every day!He really deserves to be the person praised by everyone, and he has more than doubled what he thought. How dare he ask for so much, and he deserves it.Just as he was about to decline, Xue Pan stopped him.

"Brother Feng, although we met by chance, we also have a destiny. Your good deeds are coming soon. This is when I get a piece of happiness."

It is really unreasonable to think carefully about this. Is it a happy event for Feng Yuan to accept a concubine?However, Feng Yuan didn't think much about it.In his eyes, Xue Pan is a kind person who acts bravely for righteousness and donates money. This is to prevent him from embarrassing him.After all, after marrying Xiangling into the family, there will be more living expenses, and banquets and other things will cost money.

Feng Yuan's parents died early, and he was surrounded by a lot of drinking and meat friends. When he met a rumored figure like Xue Pan, and he was so righteous, he really believed it.He held Xue Pan's hand, "Brother Xue, it would be hypocritical of me to refuse again, thank you very much this time, and be sure to say it when it is useful in the future!"

Xue Pan quietly pushed his hand away, and rolled up the scroll. It's not good for this person to be too straightforward. He has been with complicated people for a long time, and he is not used to meeting such an idiot as Feng Yuan.If the guess is true, it is better to help more in the future.Xue Pan didn't want to stay any longer, it's better to go home and have a look at the mystery in this painting. "Brother Feng, don't delay, it's important to redeem someone."

"That's right, that's right!" Feng Yuan took Angelica's 50 taels of cash and was about to go out. Looking at Xue Pan, he wondered if he wanted to keep him for dinner. "Brother Xue, you help me like this..."

"Don't delay. I'll talk about other things later. You know where I live. Just drop me a message if you have something to do." Xue Pan took the initiative to take a step ahead, and he didn't want to say anything more.

Feng Yuan followed closely behind and went out to find the old man.

***

Back home, Xue Panping withdrew the crowd, and carefully started the steps of uncovering the painting in the study.After working for two hours, he brought this picture-in-picture back to the sky. He only saw that after the first layer of painting was uncovered, there was still another layer. The painter was careful enough.Unknowingly got the picture scroll, even if the first layer is uncovered, the second layer will not be opened, and under this is a piece of silk, on which is a map.

From the direction of the mountains and rivers, it can be found that the displayed location should be in the northeast area.Specifically, we have to compare the map of Daqing to know.As expected, there is a word Luo in the place where the signature is signed.This should be the treasure topographic map kept by General Ma.

This is related to the second poem on the letter. After the rain, the stream swept over the embankment and looked at the village boy Xie Wanqing leisurely.Bamboo horses stagger to rush to Nao, paper kites domineeringly carry wind.Sandong studied Confucianism for a while, and Qianqiu was still farming with his elders.Literacy is rough enough to be used as a tax, so you don't have to work hard for Mu Gongqing. '

Xue Pan first affirmed that the scene and artistic conception in that poem was very close to Feng's farm.The farm is next to the dam, surrounded by streams, and there is an open space in front of the cultivated land where paper kites can be placed.

After that, Xue Pan took a good look at the list of ministers from the previous dynasty given by Xie Shi.At the end of the former dynasty, there was a general Ma, who was rumored to have died in battle in the south of the Yangtze River.Ma Yushui was named Feng. The royal family's surname was Luo in the previous dynasty, which was related to the shore of Luoshui. Changing Ma to Feng may be a commemoration.

In the investigation of Angelica, the Feng family came from nowhere, and they also had talents and learning. Afterwards, they drifted with the crowd and became a person with poor literacy.That's because the Ma family no longer admires Gongqing, because their era has passed.

In the end, combined with a group of names of the Feng family, it is to deal with the image of "falling into the abyss by mistake".It seems to be talking about the decline of the previous dynasty and the decline of the Ma family.After Feng Yuan's father died early, no one knew the secret, and in Feng Yuan's generation, he lived without knowing it at all.But there was still an incomprehensible painting left, which happened to be captured by Xue Pan.

As for how Xue Pan first thought of it, he has to say that things in the world really depend on God's will.Seeing Feng Yuan in a bit of a panic yesterday, Xue Pan intuitively felt that it was too close to 'a bamboo horse staggers to rush to Nao'.Feng Yuan, who was dressed in mud, looked like he had rushed into the quagmire on a bamboo horse, and his body was splashed with mud.Bamboo horses are not horses, and they are called Feng when they meet water, and Chongnao is more turbid, as if entering an abyss.

This side is confirmed, what about the other end?I just read it, but the news is coming soon.

It is said that Feng Yuan gave Yinzi to redeem Xiangling, and after being kind to her, Xiangling finally stopped being so silent. She also admitted that she was kidnapped and trafficked, about three or four years old when she was a child, but really Can't remember where home is.

The Nepeta and Astragalus found out the dens of the traffickers, and it turned out that several of their big lines were cleared out by Xun Yan by mistake.After these traffickers were caught, they were locked up, and they honestly confessed about Xiangling's origin, that they were abducted from Suzhou.

"Master, the cinnabar mole between this girl's eyebrows is very special. According to the age of her disappearance, I went to Suzhou to investigate carefully, and found that she should be the daughter of Zhen Fei, a township eunuch. Zhen Fei used to be a small official, but he resigned soon after. He took up an official position and settled in Suzhou. He has a daughter, whose real name is Yinglian, who also has a rouge mole between her eyebrows. About nine years ago, his daughter was lost in a temple fair. Then his house caught fire, and there was no one there. I’ve seen him before. Others say that Mr. Zhen may have lived in seclusion deep in the mountains like his alias ‘Shi Yin’.” After Jing Jie came back, he reported the matter to Xue Pan, “It turned out that Zhen Fei lived in Changmen In the area, next to the Gourd Temple in Renqing Lane, Shili Street."

Xue Pan suddenly stopped the pen in his hand, and he looked at another poem: "The autumn wind enters Shan with a full hat, and half sail travels to Wu in cold days."Where is the luggage?Point to gourd with a smile. "Zhen Shiyin and Zhen Shiyin are still on the edge of Calabash Lane. Could it be that it really took no effort to get here.

Zhen Fei's word is Shiyin, which is taken from "Book of Rites"'It is hidden from the truth. 'It is said that in troubled times, morality violates the fee, it is better to hide and not be an official, how similar is it to the survivors of the previous dynasty.There is also the place where you live and the poem. "Shan Wu" refers to the area of ​​Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the land of Wu refers to Suzhou, so can "Gourd" be the Gourd Temple?

Xue Pan suddenly felt unbelievable. If this is true, then the fate between Feng Yuan and Zhen Yinglian can be said to be destined by heaven.Their ancestors were all survivors of the previous dynasty and kept important relics, but they never saw each other again for various reasons.However, the descendants met again because of God's will. Although one is romantic but repents for the other, the other has a miserable past but can have a good marriage.If this is the case, I still have to receive a big gift, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of God's will.

He told Father Xue about his guess, this time Xue Pan didn't take anyone with him, and changed to go to Suzhou alone, but he didn't want to be discovered by others.When he arrived at Renqing Lane, Xue Pan looked at the burnt-down Zhen family mansion, he shook his head, it had been abandoned for ten years, and there was nothing there. Really impermanent.

However, Xue Pan did not give up. He explored the Gourd Temple at night again, and actually let him find a cassock embroidered with a map in the interlayer of the eaves. This time it was a detailed map of the treasure cemetery.This inspiration is also thanks to the martial arts stories that still remain in my mind.There are stories about cassocks hidden in temples, and some people really use them in reality.

Xue Pan hypothesized that Zhen Shiyin was distraught at the loss of his daughter, but he did not forget who he really was, so he hid things in the temple, which is also consistent with the poem.In addition, it is equivalent to giving the ownership of the cassock to the Buddha, to see if the people who came after him are people who have a predestined relationship with the Buddha.

Xia Gui later learned about Xue Pan's experience, and she was even more emotional. She had read more complete records of stones than Xue Pan, so she naturally knew that Feng Yuan was supposed to be killed by the idiot Xue when he redeemed Xiangling. Became the concubine of the Dumb King.If this story were to develop, Xue, Feng, and Zhen would actually have been implicated by their ancestors, but it was a pity that their fate was cut off alive.

Xue Pan can only say one thing, this is probably God's will.What you do can be regarded as accumulating good fortune.
