Chapter 14: Am I Really Sick Pretending to Be Neurotic?
After letting the housekeeper send Dr. Huang away, Master Zhou said to Zhou Heng with a straight face: "Say, how long will you have hysteria?"
When Zhou Heng heard this, he had a question mark on his face, what was the original owner's hysteria pretended?
Old Man Zhou looked at Zhou Heng's stupid appearance, and couldn't help but be angry: "Didn't you just ask you to go to Su's house to find Old Man Su for guidance a month ago?
Zhou Heng's face was forced, and he could only reluctantly respond: "I'm going to try this township, do you still want to go?"
Master Zhou said: "Aren't you talking nonsense? Think about my Zhou family, it can also be said to be a farming and reading heirloom, why did you come out of this thing? There is still a month left in the township test, I have already told Mr. Yu, tomorrow I will go to the Su family to accompany my grandfather to celebrate his 60th birthday, you will give me a roll to the school!"
"Ah?!!!h
"Ah what, don't go to the study to preview in advance" Master Zhou, after training Zhou Heng, he turned to Steward Wu and said: "Just send dinner directly to the study, and the provincial boy will run around!"
"Yes, sir. After Steward Wu answered Master Zhou's words, he led Zhou Heng to the study with two strong nurses, one after the other.
Zhou Heng was taken to the study by Steward Wu in a daze.
The next morning,
Zhou's study,
A ray of sunlight filtered through the carved windows and slanted on a young man's hair. Note 1
Bang bang bang
A quick and charming knock on the door woke the boy up.
Zhou Heng stretched his waist against the window, then turned around and opened the door of the study.
It turned out that Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou arrived, "Bastard boy, you won't get up until the third watch a day, and accompany me and your mother to Su's house." ”
However, even if the Zhou family has so much wealth, some rules still have to be followed, although it is said that the family is a big heirloom, but after all, Master Zhou did not get fame, and he can only wear a plain robe, and he can't take a car.
Compared with the Zhou Mansion, the Su Mansion is a real scholarly family, and the past few generations have produced some big officials.
Caiyang City, the eighth day of the lunar month.
In the morning, the faint sun shines on the city, the pedestrians on the streets gradually increase, the city gates are wide open, and the people who enter and exit greet the morning sun, radiant, and the day begins again.
The sun gradually rose, and an old man by the west gate pushed a small cart to stop, took down four wooden tripods from the cart, and set up a fate stall with trembling hands and feet.
At this time, it is the time for the countrymen to go into the city to sell goods and catch the market, everyone is in a hurry, or driving a cart pulled by a donkey, or carrying a load full of fresh vegetables and eggs full of blue, rushing to the downtown to trade, so someone will have time to patronize this bad old man's word measuring stall?
The old man sat peacefully in his chair with his eyes half-closed, as if admiring the crowd, and he didn't seem to pay attention to business.
After a while, suddenly there was a sound of hooves outside the city, and eight horses came slowly, accompanied by a carriage, and the old man suddenly opened his eyes and said: "Wealth and nobility have a phase, life and death are a thought, and misfortune and fortune are born in the night, and the maze is boundless." ”
The first middle-aged Chinese character reined in and glanced at the old man, did not speak, and turned his head to move forward again. The other two men responded and were about to ride into the city, when the old man said coldly: "Master Tai go slowly." ”
The man was stunned and said, "Fortune teller, do you say it's us?"
The old man snorted and said: "If you leave early, you will die, if you leave late, you will die later, you will die, all roads are a death, the old man has the heart to guide you to wait for a clear road, but there is nothing you can do." ”
Immediately, the two young men were furious when they heard this, and said angrily: "Bad old man, you are talking nonsense, and the master has smashed your stall." ”
As he spoke, he rushed forward, and wanted to overturn the old man's stall, but the old man couldn't help but sneer, his face did not move, and the man who was the leader gave a look to the two partners, and slowly walked to the old man's stall.
The old man's eyes carefully looked at the man in charge, shaking his head, just like buying pork in the market, picking fat and thin.
The man who was the leader was so angry that the old man saw that his chest was on fire, but he was a person with a lot of status, and he said in a deep voice: "How about asking the old gentleman to look like a subordinate?"
The old man pondered for a long time, shook his head and said: "Your Excellency is not turbid, you look at each other sufficiently, you have a gentleman's face, your career and family are prosperous, you can get ahead, or you are always a leader." ”
As soon as his tone changed, he became polite, but the man who was the leader was not good at attacking, reached out and picked up a piece of broken silver in his pocket and threw it on the stall table, and said lightly: "Tell me more." ”
The old man sighed, "It's a pity, it's a pity!"
The man in charge was about to leave, and when he heard this, he stopped and said, "What advice does the old gentleman have?"
The old man said, "It's a pity! ”
The man in charge didn't pay attention to it anymore, and said to the other two men: "Go quickly, I'll be scolded by the old man again if I go late." ”
He said that he wanted to lead the horse away, and the other two had already ridden away, and the old man flicked his sleeves and said, "Please go back to this grandfather, this old man can't accept this silver." ”
The man in charge opened his eyes, stared at the old man, and was silent for a long time.
The old man sighed and said, "How can the old man collect the money from the dead, and where will this debt be settled in the future?"
The man at the head listened to the old man's nonsense, and his heart was extremely angry, and he looked at the old man carefully, and his face was old, and he was clearly a bad old man.
Not long after the gang left, several groups of knights and some sedan chairs passed, and the old man who set up the stall became more and more frightened, and thought in his heart: "Why are all these people so fierce that they penetrate the canopy? It is clear that they are rushing to die, and they will never live again!"
He silently used his magic wit, closed his eyes and calculated for a while, but he was at a loss. Although there were some clues, they couldn't be connected, and he sighed secretly and said: "It's hard to peep into the heavens, it's hard to peep into the heavens!"
The old man was very confident in his fateful technique, but at this moment he was shaking his confidence, and suddenly an old voice said: "Heng'er, we have arrived in Changsha City" Another young man's voice said: "It's very lively, Dad." The old man opened his eyes and saw that three plainly dressed people were about to walk in front of the stall, the young man's face was like a crown of jade, his nose was straight, and the heavenly court of the couple who was traveling with him was dim, and he hurriedly shouted: "Slow!"
The young man turned around and hurriedly said, "Old man, are you calling us?" The old man looked at the young man fixedly, and after a long time, he spread out the young man's left hand, full of thick ink, and hurriedly wrote a big 'hidden' word in the palm of the young man's hand, "There is something to do tonight, stretch out your left hand, and quickly flee to the east. ”
Zhou Heng was stunned, and Master Zhou and Mrs. Zhou also came over, wanting to carefully inquire about the beginning and the end, but the old man was like a stone carving and woodcarving, and he was speechless. Just take out a small piece of silver and put it on the table, and the family walked away with trepidation.
The boy clasped his left hand and followed his parents step by step. There are more and more people around, the streets are getting more and more prosperous, about two or three miles of road, the surroundings suddenly quieted down, suddenly saw two big stone lions squatting on the side of the street, three beast-headed gates, and there were more than a dozen people in gorgeous crowns sitting in front of the door. The main entrance was not opened, and only the east and west corner doors were entered. There is a plaque above the main entrance, and the plaque has four big characters on the big book, "Creating Su Mansion".
ps: At this time, the pig's feet accept the memories of the original owner.
