Chapter 5: The Red Coffin
After Zhang Changyi and others returned from Suichang Town, there was nothing to do for a few days. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info but saw that Li Wu served him wholeheartedly and did his best. However, although Li Wu has a deep affection for Zhang, Zhang has no intention of Xiangnu. Zhang then discussed with his second aunt to clean up a room for Li Wu, and although the two had the name of husband and wife, they had been sleeping in separate rooms.
One day, Wu Yi came to Zhang's Mansion again, just in time to catch up with Yin Sanhai who was in the study to take a look at Zhang Changyi's body. Wu Yi was also inconvenient to disturb, so he sighed alone in the courtyard. At that time, Li Wu was in the courtyard with Zhang Zhaozi to pinch clay figures. Although Zhang Zhaozi is stupid, he is a good hand at kneading mud, first pulling out a rough shape, and then taking out a carving knife to compile the details little by little. In less than half an hour, a lifelike clay figurine can be scarved. Li Wu was having fun with Zhaozi, and Zhaozi carved a clay figure like Li Wu, with long braids, an oval face, and even the flowers on the cotton jacket were carved very finely.
Wu Yi looked at the two women who had been pinching the mud, and sighed helplessly with his arms on the table. "I said cousin, don't just accompany that fool, you also ignore me, my cousin is bitter!"
Li Wu looked at Wu Yi, thinking that he should be really a little worried, and he was afraid that Zhaozi couldn't leave her. He took Zhaozi to the stone table in the courtyard together, let Zhaozi sit on the stone bench to play, and then sat opposite Wu Yi. "Young Master Wu, do you have something on your mind?"
Wu Yi looked at Li Wu and let out a long sigh. "Five! Do you know what it's like to miss someone? Is it the feeling that as soon as you close your eyes, she can appear in your mind, and you can't get rid of the buzzing of hatred? ”
Li Wu listened to Wu Yi's words, and suddenly Zhang Changyi's face, tall nose bridge, and thin lips appeared in his mind. "No, not ever." Li Wu immediately blushed and responded hesitantly.
"I know you don't, you are a rural girl, how do you know what is the love of children, what is lovesickness."
"Then who does Young Master Wu miss in his heart! I don't know which girl it is, she must be very beautiful if she is so blessed. Li Wu smiled innocently and asked casually.
Wu Yi glanced at Li Wu, frowned, and let out another long sigh. "Beautiful, so beautiful! Am I such a superficial person? It's not mainly because of her appearance, she's really cultured! I'm also a wealthy family, a rich family, but my grandfather didn't like to read when he was a child, and he didn't have a few taels of ink in his stomach, so he envied other people's dancing and writing and making ink, and the export was full of chapters. You're talking about her, and the boudoir is full of books! That mouth, those who know it, are different from our rough people. ”
When Li Wu heard this, he was really a little confused. Brushing his braids, he was silent. Suddenly, I heard that the third aunt was calling for her son, so she hurriedly took Zhang Zhaozi back to the room.
Besides, Zhang Changyi was reading a book in the study, and Yin Sanhai came in to take a look at his body. The door of the study on his side has not yet been closed, Yin Sanhai walked straight in, Zhang Zheng looked at it intently, and suddenly saw Yin Sanhai standing in front of him, so frightened that he hurriedly tucked the book under the table.
"What is the book? I'm afraid I'll see it. Yin Sanhai asked with a smile, then walked to the table and pulled the book out again.
The burned Zhang Changyi's face was red and white, like the half-baked green jujubes. Yin Sanhai picked up the book and looked at it, it turned out to be a "Legend of the Crazy Woman" (ancient forbidden book), so he flipped through two pages casually. "The matter of Zhou Gong has existed since ancient times, you are an upright man, how can you be embarrassed. I think it's a really good book, and it's written extraordinarily. We also have a copy of "The Legend of Ruyi Jun" (ancient forbidden book), if you like it, you can also read it. ”
Zhang Changyi only knew that Yin Sanhai was a person in the Daomen, and he was afraid that she would be disgusted with this kind of preface, but when he heard Yin Sanhai speak like this, he knew that Yin was worthy of being a master outside the world, different from ordinary secular people, who only cared about treating that kind of book as a bone rubbing poison, which was extremely pedantic.
Yin Sanhai also told him to be careful with his body and let him take a nap to nourish his body. Zhang Changyi responded one by one.
After leading the three seas away, it was noon upright. Zhang Changyi went back to his room and fell asleep. As soon as I closed my eyes, I found myself in an empty place, surrounded by white smoke, and I couldn't see the direction clearly. Suddenly, he saw several teenage boys walking faintly in the depths of the white smoke carrying a big red coffin. Look at the little faces of the boys carrying the coffins, they all looked like ghosts. Those ghosts carried the coffin to Zhang Changyi slowly, slowly put it down, and disappeared suddenly. Zhang Changyi was wondering, only to see that the red coffin suddenly opened by itself, and a six or seven-year-old boy sat in the coffin. The boy was dressed in tattered clothes, his face was miserable and pale, and he was thin with only a pair of shelves. A layer of skin is tightly wrapped around the bones, like a small skeleton. Zhang Changyi thought to himself, why is it so strange, isn't the red coffin for the elderly over 80 years old? Why is there a child sitting in this coffin? Then he asked the boy softly. "How old are you? What is your name? Do you have any wishes for me to help you? ”
The boy just stared at Zhang Changyi with his eyes tightly and didn't speak. Maybe it was because the boy was so thin that his eyes were protruding outward, as if they were about to fall out. Zhang Changyi, who was staring, was a little creepy.
Zhang Changyi took a deep breath, and mustered up the courage to step forward to find out more. But suddenly, the coffin and the boy disappeared. Zhang Changyi hurriedly reached out to grab it, but suddenly woke up in a trance.
Zhang Changyi woke up in a cold sweat, and his clothes were a little soaked. called Li Wu to help him prepare a new set of clothes. After hurriedly changing it, he invited Yin Sanhai to the room, and Wu Yi was complaining to Yin Sanhai at this time, chattering that he couldn't forget Lu Feijin, so he would be a long-tongued woman. Hearing that Zhang Changyi had a dream again, he also followed Sanhai curiously.
Zhang Changyi told his dream to Yinhe Wu like this. Wu Yi slapped his thigh in shock. "Alas, Brother Zhang. On the day we came back from Suichang, after I sent you back to Shuaifu, I drove home by myself, and I really bumped into a funeral team. It was carried in a big red coffin. Like, it seems to be Lu's silver. It's a big show. ”
"Now that we know the origin of the coffin, we will ask someone to inquire about it. Or ask the Lu family to meet with us, wouldn't it be better. Yin Sanhai proposed. was interrupted by Wu Yi.
"Immortal Gu, you are not a native of Quzhou, and you don't know the situation in Quzhou. Lu's Silver was only moved to Quzhou two years ago. However, it is not under the jurisdiction of the Quzhou government. The main reason is that Lu's silver is in contact with the provincial governments, military commanders, and merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Therefore, in terms of power, only others call us to do it, and there is absolutely no share for us to invite others. In other words, if you send a message in a low voice, people won't look at you. ”
The crowd sighed again, and then there was nothing to say.
A few days later, Deputy Ma under Zhang Dashuai came to find Zhang Changyi. This Ma Vice General is the younger brother of Zhang Dashuai's late eldest wife. According to the generation, Zhang Changyi should also call him uncle.
Vice General Ma said to Zhang Changyi that he had found out about the funeral of the Lu family, and it was the old lady of the Lu family who left, who was ninety-two years old this year, and she was dying, which was a happy funeral. He also mentioned that Lu Wenxuan, the eldest young master of the Lu family, is now the head of the Lu family, and I heard that Lu Wenxuan has always been nostalgic for flowers in recent months, and has wrapped up a kiln sister named Miss Jin in Manchun Building.
Zhang Changyi listened and thought that this Jin girl should be Lu Feijin. Last time, when I went to look for her with Wu Yi because of the snow flyer, I heard the little maid talk about the painting that Lu Feijin was talking to the young owner of the Lu family, and asked them to wait for a while. This Lu Shaodong's family, I'm afraid it is Lu Wenxuan, the eldest young master of the Lu family.
After Deputy General Ma left, Zhang Changyi asked people to go to Wu's mansion to invite Wu Yi. After Wu Yi arrived, Zhang told Wu Yi everything that Deputy General Ma said. I thought that Wu Yi had a good impression of Lu Feijin, but now he created an opportunity for him to help him go to Manchun Building, and he would be a hundred happy. never thought that although Wu Yi only saw Lu once, he was already like a demon. After hearing that Lu Feijin was wrapped up by Lu Wenxuan, she suddenly felt sour in her heart, she didn't smile at all, and she couldn't say what she felt. Wu Yi also knew that Zhang was for his good, so he said reluctantly. "It's still important to get down to business, I'll go to Manchun Tower to find Miss Jin. For the sake of some friendship, let her help and introduce that Young Master Lu to us. ”
In the afternoon of the same day, Wu Yi came to Manchun Building alone, and Sister Shun was happy when she saw him, knowing that a rich man was coming, so she hurriedly stepped forward to flatter and say hello. "Young Master Wu is here again to find Miss Jin. Miss Jin misses you all. Where's the man who came with you that day? Why didn't you come today? ”
Wu Yi was feeling uncomfortable, and when he saw Sister Shun's flattering appearance, he was even more bored. didn't want to pay attention to it, so he threw 20,000 taels of silver tickets directly at her and went straight upstairs. Wu Yi went upstairs and turned right, came to the "Tuan Fan Spinning", slowly pushed open the door, and saw Lu Feijin leaning on the concubine's floor reading a book. Lu Feijin is wearing a purple-red tight-fitting cheongsam today, and a few flowers and bones are embroidered on the cheongsam, which looks very elegant. Wu Yi looked at Lu Feijin, swallowed deeply, and nodded and asked.
"Miss Jin is really interested, what kind of book are you reading?"
Seeing that it was Wu Yi, Lu Feijin hurriedly got up to salute, and asked Langhua to make tea for Wu Yi. He asked softly. "Childe has found Zheng Yulin, what about Sister Snow Flyer? Are you reincarnated now? ”
Wu also told Lu Feijin about the events of several people after they arrived in Suichang, and said that Xue Yue was really an infatuated strange woman, and she didn't hate Zheng Yulin, but she just met him and was reincarnated. Again. "I'm here today because I want to ask Miss Jin for help." and told Lu Feijin about Zhang Changyi's dream of a red lacquered coffin. "Please also ask the girl to help me and Brother Zhang introduce Young Master Lu. The first is to cross the soul of injustice, and we are also considered a good deed, and the second is that my brother Zhang is weak and sick, so it can also help him accumulate more yang life. ”
Lu Feijin listened to it and responded. "Young Master Lu and the little girl also have some friendship, and it is not difficult to introduce them. What's more, I have always been good friends with Sister Snow Thrush, Young Master Wu and Young Master Zhang are Snow Thrush's benefactors, so naturally they are also my benefactors, and the little girl will do her best to explain what Young Master Wu explains. And made an appointment with Wu Yi, and arranged for Lu Wenxuan to meet them at noon tomorrow.
At noon on the second day, Zhang Changyi arranged a private room in Bian Jiangyuan, the best restaurant in Quzhou Prefecture, and asked the restaurant owner to prepare a full 28 signature dishes. What five-spice brine duck, hibiscus pearl round, Nanjing lion head and pot wrapped meat in the Northeast. Sichuan, Lu, Huai and Yue are all together, what flies in the sky, swims in the water, and runs on the ground. Then he and Wu Yi waited for that Lu Gongzi to arrive. After a while, a white Nissan car stopped at the entrance of the restaurant. The people who were passing by stopped watching. Two people got out of the car, it was Lu Feijin and Lu Wenxuan. Let's look at Lu Wenxuan, twenty-four or five years old.
Tall, not fat or thin, but he looks talented. A white suit, a pair of Nissan calf white leather shoes. With a gold-rimmed eye, very Sven.
"Cousin, I think this Lu Gongzi looks much more handsome than you." Zhang Changyi jokingly said to Wu Yi.
Wu Yi listened, and his face was gloomy. "I look much better than you."
Then I secretly thought to myself, dressed in Nissan, I look like a dog traitor.
A few people greeted each other and entered the private room. Before Zhang Changyi could speak, Wu Yi asked Lu Wenxuan in a strange manner. "Is Young Master Lu married? How old is the child? Mrs. Sister-in-law is okay, she shouldn't care much about you, let you run to Manchun Building when you see the sky. ”
Lu Wenxuan is also a smart person, he heard what Wu Yi said, and saw that since he entered the restaurant, Wu Yi's eyes have never left Lu Feijin. Then he replied, "I haven't married a wife yet, let alone a wife, a child." He looked at Lu Feijin again and smiled slightly. I'm afraid I have to count on the female master to bother with my marriage. ”
"Female master?" Wu Yi was surprised. "Miss Concubine Lu is, it's your master.
”
When Lu Feijin heard this, she first punished herself with a glass of wine. "Young Master Lu said that he laughed, I just often discuss some ancient books and Chinese paintings with Young Master Lu on weekdays, and give each other advice, how can I be called a master."
Wu Yi was immediately relieved when he heard this, thinking that how could that little white face be worthy of Lu Feijin, with a literary appearance, he was not as real and likable as himself.
Zhang Changyi told Lu Wenxuan about the red lacquered coffin and the dream tray he made. Lu Wenxuan did not hide it. "Some time ago, my grandmother was really at the funeral, because it was a happy funeral, so the red coffin was used. However, this coffin was not ordered at home, because grandma left suddenly, it was a ready-made coffin to buy. ”
Zhang Changyi listened and asked hurriedly. "Where did you buy the coffin? What's so unusual? ”
Lu said. "Because we are also a big family, and the elders have passed away, we can't do it at will, so we specially asked someone to go to the coffin shop of the Zhou family in Shuangqiao Town, dozens of miles away, to buy it. I heard that the coffin of the Zhou family has a history of hundreds of years, and the coffin of his family is bright in color and beautifully carved, and the coffin can not rot for a hundred years. ”
A few people listened and exchanged a few more words. After drinking and talking, Zhang Changyi and Lu Wenxuan hit it off at first sight, and after a while, they were already brothers. Wu Yi is also happy, and when the two of them talk, they can take care of Mei Jiaoniang. In the evening, Wu also sent Lu Feijin back to Manchun Building.
After Zhang Changyi returned to the Shuaifu, he told Yin Sanhai all about today's scene. The two decided to get up tomorrow and go to Shuangqiao Town to find out what happened to the coffin shop of the Zhou family.
……
Why was Sanhai suddenly attacked?
