I was a young master in ancient times

Chapter 10 The Dongyeshu Incident 1

Chen Ziche returned home with a small bouquet of fake flowers.Aunt Wang was adding water to the sheep trough when she saw him holding something brightly colored, "What is that in his arms?"

Chen Ziche happily ran over to put the flowers into his mother's arms.Aunt Wang quickly wiped her hands on her clothes before taking it over, "This is a flower."

Chen Ziche nodded vigorously, "This is Ankang's idea. His family also opened a flower shop. We went to see it today, and the people who bought flowers in the shop lined up to the door." There was still a sense of pride in the speech mean. "Mother, tell me, why is Ankang so powerful, how can he come up with such a thing."

Wei spent the whole afternoon picking and choosing in the warehouse, and picked out two good sets, one for his sister-in-law and one for his niece.I gave my nephew a set of the Four Treasures of the Study, which are all good things. "Xianglan, add a few more ready-made clothes, and use Huajin jokes."

"Yes, ma'am." Xianglan took the things and wrapped them up, and then talked about the bustling scene when she passed by the door of the flower shop when she was shopping in the morning, "Our young master, that's the same sentence, you are a late bloomer. Miss, don't worry about the young master's schoolwork anymore." 360 lines, every line will be the champion. Our young master is only so old, and the flower shop does not rely on him."

Ankang's recent performance is really good, even the master has praised him several times behind his back.Said that the child has grown up and understood a lot of things.She is just such a child, and she doesn't expect him to have any fame, it is enough to be taken care of by the elders in the family.I just hope that he can be safe and sound.A nauseating feeling suddenly surged up in his chest, Wei Shi covered his mouth, rubbed his chest, and smoothed the nauseating feeling down.Xianglan supported Wei Shi full of worry, "Miss, I'll go invite Dr. Liu."

Wei waved his hand, "It's not a big deal. You don't need to call the doctor. Have you packed your luggage? Give him some thick clothes. Dongye County is more than 200 miles north of us. It's much colder, even in summer."

Xianglan helped Wei Shi to sit up, "Miss, you rest first. I'll go find some thick clothes for the master."

"Kang'er, you also help to keep an eye on it. Is there anything there? Huzi is just a close servant. Boys are always a little edgy. Xianglan, please help me."

"Hey." Xianglan replied, and when she looked up again, she found that the young lady had fallen asleep with her arms on her pillow.Recalling Miss's physical condition these days, lethargy and nausea, could it be?

At dawn the next day, Ankang got up under Huzi's urging.After washing up, I went to my grandparents, and my parents kowtowed.Grandma An pulled Ankang reluctantly, and asked An Zhonghua, "Would it take five days to walk two hundred miles?"

"It's almost three days away."

Grandma An waved her hand, "Don't hurry up, don't hurry up. It's not something to worry about. Take your time on the road and watch Kang'er." Grandma An directed the servants around her and said, "Meh Liang, pack up the peach cakes you bought on the street yesterday. Put them on." After a while, he said, "What if it rains, are the coir raincoats newly made this year?" After a while, he said, "I don't know if there are many mosquitoes in the north, so bring more incense .”

"Grandma." Ankang saw that his grandma hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls of food, so he was worried all morning. "I don't need to bring anything, just bring my grandma. With my grandma watching, it works better than others."

Grandma An smiled and beat Ankang, "Grandma is still running around with you with an old bone."

"How old is it? My grandma looks like a little girl now. Isn't it, mother?"

Just as Wei was about to respond, An Zhonghua who was sitting beside him snorted, "It's not big or small."

Grandma An also snorted, "My grandson is talking to me." An Zhonghua fell silent immediately, gouged out Ankang's eyes, and continued eating as if nothing happened.

Grandma An held Ankang's hand all the way to the gate, telling her over and over for a year, "Eat well. Be more obedient outside."

"Grandma, I know. Grandma has to eat well at home. If there is something interesting, I will bring it back to grandma."

"Good grandson."

An Zhonghua sat bored in the carriage and heard that the grandparent and grandson were inseparable, so he couldn't help but lift the curtain, "Mother, go back to the house quickly. We're leaving now."

This greasy and crooked grandparent and grandson separated.Ankang did not share a carriage with his father as he wished.He lay comfortably in the spacious carriage.There were four carriages in this line, An Zhonghua's carriage was the first, followed by Ankang's carriage, one behind was pulling goods, and the other was pulling several servants.

Ankang couldn't sit still, and would open the small curtain to look outside from time to time.Huzi took out the Nine Chains for the young master to relieve fatigue, "Master."

"No." He had played with this thing when he was in elementary school, and he sent off, "Huzi, you can play by yourself." After speaking, he opened the curtain and looked out.It's the official way now.The official road is wide enough to accommodate three carriages in parallel.Occasionally, I can miss a carriage from someone else's house.

Huzi enthusiastically circled around to unravel the Jiulianhuan.Ankang, who was doing nothing, looked like an ADHD, his hands and feet were not honest for a moment.

Sitting in the car and driving for two days, Huzi stopped playing with Jiulianhuan, and Ankang lost the interest and always went to lift the curtain. The master and servant lay in the car together, not wanting to move. "I must tell my grandma that my father never listened to her." Ankang said bitterly.

Fortunately, they arrived in Dongye County on the morning of the third day.Ankang and Huzi helped each other into the inn, and fell asleep for half the morning before getting up to eat.

Liu Guanshi searched according to the address written by An Zhongwei, and opened a door in the middle of a small alley.

The woman who opened the door was a woman wearing a half-worn purple dress. The woman opened the door ajar and saw a man outside, and then covered the door a little more, only revealing a crack in the door to talk to Steward Liu, "My husband is not at home today. If there is something wrong , sir, leave a message, and I will pass it on when my husband comes home."

Guanshi Liu showed his identity, and the woman opened the door and stood there still somewhat cautiously.Guanshi Liu handed the greeting card to An Zhongwei's wife, Li Shi, and Li Shi hurriedly wiped her hands to accept it. She hesitated and felt a little embarrassed, "Housekeeper, please take a trip. I'll ask you some more questions." Li Shi He took out half a sack of copper coins from his sleeve and handed it to Guanshi Liu.Guanshi Liu waved his hand and refused, "Madam, if you have anything to ask, you can ask, you can't do it."

Mrs. Li withdrew her hand embarrassingly, holding the red string with money in it, "I just want to ask the manager if there is anything taboo about our second brother. I heard that the second brother is an official, I am afraid, I am afraid that we Being ignorant offends the official."

"Madam, don't worry, the master is the most reasonable person, and he doesn't pay much attention to it on weekdays."

After delivering the invitations, Steward Liu asked the neighbors about An's family.Return to the inn when it gets dark.

An Zhonghua asked, "How is it?"

Liu Guanshi respectfully stood aside and replied, "I've made inquiries. Thirty years ago, that little opera artist, Mrs. Wu, came to Dongye County with my grandfather. Within a year, Mrs. Wu was carried away by the local rich family, Mr. Sun's family." I became a concubine. But the Sun family did not allow Mrs. Wu to take the uncle to the Sun family to raise him. So Wu rented another house in the county, and found a woman to take care of the uncle. Later, she gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Sun family. Mr. After studying for several years, he worked as a manager in the county fur shop. Later, Mrs. Wu made the decision and married Mrs. Li. Now the uncle and Mrs. Li have a son and a daughter. The eldest son is 30 this year and is studying in the academy, and the youngest daughter just turned ji this year. According to the neighbors, the uncle's family is fairly honest."

An Zhonghua nodded, and the details need to be checked at the door tomorrow.

Rest up and have fun.It took an afternoon for Ankang to go around all the three streets in Dongye County, and he even walked a few of the small alleys with great interest.In his view, these are free tourist attractions.At this time, buying and selling things in various places are very distinctive, not as strong as the commercial atmosphere of scenic spots in later generations.The souvenirs of the scenic spots have no local characteristics.A major feature of Dongye County is that as long as it can print something, it is in the shape of Dongye.For example, the pastries in dim sum shops have the shape of Dongye.There are three round leaves on a stem, which look like clubs in a playing card.

It was getting late, and there were no people on the streets of the county seat.Ankang wondered, "Is there a curfew in Dongye County? The sun just went down, and there were no people on the street." Back at the inn, Huzi asked the second brother who was running the inn.The little second brother heard that the master and servant wanted to go to the night market, so he hurriedly persuaded, "You two guests, I advise you to stay in the inn. It's not peaceful outside."

"Why is it not peaceful?" Ankang became interested, "Could it be that there are still bandits in this county?"

Xiaoer was amused by Ankang's statement, "Young guest officer, think about it more, there will be no bandits in the county. Our inn is not far from the county government, and bandits don't dare to come." "Guest officer, listen to the little one The most famous Dongye tree in our Dongye County is the thousand-year-old Dongye tree. It is said that there are gods living on the top of the tree. Later, Dongye County came into being. A dead body was found under the ground. The man died in a terrible state. His limbs were sawed off, his stomach was ripped open, and a large stone was stuffed in his stomach. Two days later, another corpse was hung on the Dongye tree. Probably After more than half a month, another man was drained and lying under the Dongye tree. The day before yesterday, the third young master of the Sun family died violently at home. The three people who died before were all followers of the third young master of the Sun family. There are rumors in the town that it was the third young master of the Sun family. Don’t offend the spirits living in Dongyeshu. People in the county are in panic for a while, fearing that the spirits will come out to do evil again, and no one will go out at night.”

Huzi got goosebumps all over his body. He pulled Ankang's sleeve and said in a trembling voice, "Young master, young master, let's stay in the house well. Or, let's go to the master at night. It is said that the official is more upright. "

Ankang is a person who traveled through the 21st century. He knows that there are no ghosts in the world. "What are you afraid of? Young master, I am also upright, so I am not afraid of those evil spirits." Without spirits, it must be man-made.I don't know who is so cruel, and even used this method to kill four people in succession.

Ankang was woken up by Hu Zi, and saw that Hu Zi had two dark circles under his eyes. "Did you not sleep last night? Why are there two big circles under your eyes?"

"Master, last night I heard the whistling sound of the wind. Do you think the ghosts living in the Dongye tree have come out to arrest people?"

Ankang rolled his eyes directly, "You said it was the sound of the wind, why do you still say it's a ghost coming out?"

Huzi argued, "Master, you don't know, it's rare to see such a strong wind in autumn." Last night he huddled under the blanket and listened to the wind for a long time, afraid that spirits would suddenly break in and eat him.Tremblingly, he thought about his parents, about his unmarried elder sister, and about his younger brother who was just able to walk.If he dies, who will send his sister off to her relatives, and who will take care of his parents in the future.

"Isn't it a common thing to change the sky?" Ankang changed into a bamboo green robe with the help of Huzi, "You are still a man, I didn't expect to be so timid. There are no ghosts in this world, but you are just writing a book." People made it up. When you read a lot and have more ink in your stomach, you can also make up all kinds of ghosts."

Huzi said anxiously, "Master, you don't dare to talk nonsense." "When we go back this time, we must go to the temple to worship."

"Cut, feudal superstition."
