Chapter 376: The Starving Ghost

"Hey. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

The girls sat down and sighed.

No matter how difficult life is, it is even more difficult for women, this kind of thing, you can't manage it, and you can't manage it, so Bai Xiaoyun herself is afraid that it will be ...... There is no way but to agree.

Most of the girls from poor families are called to lose money and grow up, and when they come to use, they are used casually, and they have parents, and their parents are in charge of other people's marriages, not to mention that she is a county lord, even if the emperor is there, she will not pay attention to such things, at most she sighs.

"Bai Xiaoyun, this is not bad, I remember that someone handed a fold up a while ago, saying that there was a female Pei family in Jingzhou, in order to raise money for her brother's treatment, she married someone Chongxi, one day after the entry, her husband died of illness, and she was willing to keep the festival for her husband and never marry.

Hongchen sneered, "I heard that the long-lived lord didn't give approval, I think this matter is inappropriate, and then there is a **** to go to the queen's mother, I heard that Pei's reputation is bad somehow, and some people say that she has an affair with a scholar, Pei's sex is like fire, and he committed suicide by hanging the beam to show his chastity...... What a joke, human life is so precious, and it is so worthless to die. ”

For a moment, everyone was silent.

In fact, this kind of thing has happened a lot, looking at it this way, comparing it like this, Bai Xiaoyun's experience is not too miserable.

At least people are still alive.

And listening to the news that Luo Niang and the others heard, Bai Xiaoyun was very optimistic, she didn't cry or make trouble, and she didn't express any objections, she seemed to be quite resigned to her fate, everyone else accepted their fate, what else could others do?

"Really...... Unpromising. ”

Xiao Yan snorted coldly.

If she was replaced, even if she went out to find a sewing errand to work to support herself, she would not be sold by her father like this.

Hongchen smiled, coaxed Xiao Yan and Luo Niang a few words, sent them to do things, and began to pack up the materials and prepare to make new clothes.

Now that it is late autumn, the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, it is time to change thick clothes, and the big wool materials stored at home should also be taken out to dry, smoked and smoked.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the female officials also have a holiday, and they take turns to go home to see, and when the time comes, the county lord will reward the material and go back, which can be regarded as decent.

Hongchen didn't pay much attention to it before, as long as the material was good, it could be used to make clothes for a long time, but the queen mother was very dissatisfied since she saw her wear the old material twice, and reprimanded Luo Niang a few words.

"I'm not poor enough to make you wear old clothes."

Hongchen: "......" is really not old clothes, whose materials are new, good materials have been put in the warehouse for more than ten years, and the clothes taken out to make them can't be considered old, but unfortunately, it's useless to say to the mother.

What the queen said also makes sense.

"Every year, you get a lot of new materials, if you don't use them quickly, won't they all get old, you look at those noble girls in the capital, which ones are not bright at all, and some people dare to say that their family is defeated."

Hongchen was speechless.

At that time, the queen also wore a half-new robe.

"Look at what, my robe is only worn in the dormitory, not for outsiders to see, anyway, in this palace, it is not my turn to pretend to be poor."

Hongchen honestly promised that he would always wear new clothes in the future, make new materials in the new seasons, and not wear old ones that hinder the eyes of the mother.

The queen was relieved: "That's right, you are the county lord, a junior, and so young, don't take advantage of your youth to enjoy all the good things, and when you are old, you can't wear it if you want to, don't learn from those hypocritical people, you have to wear old clothes to walk around, how simple you are, they are simple, and they don't see the silver saved to others." ”

It was last year that the Long Live Lord cried poor, the treasury and the treasury silver saw the bottom, Long Live Lord cried poor in the court, and the officials under the world followed one by one to shout poverty, the official uniforms were all worn old, and they were ordered to enter the palace, and the jewelry on their heads wore a tattered hairpin, and they wore half-new clothes, acting as if there were difficulties at home.

At that time, the queen had a toothache, but fortunately, she saw few people, out of sight and out of mind, so she tossed with them.

But if Hongchen is like this, the queen is not a toothache.

Niangniang caught her so much, Hongchen was also speechless, she actually loves to wear old clothes, especially old shoes, whether the clothes are comfortable to wear, whether the shoes fit or not, only she knows.

The new clothes on the body, it has to be worn for a while to be dressed, but fortunately, the queen mother is not forcing her to lose a set of clothes, she just likes her to wear bright all the time.

It's not easy for the elders, this little thing is easy to do, there is no need to go against the old people.

Hongchen happily cleaned up all the old materials at home, rewarded them on time, and wore old clothes only at home, and changed them into new ones when they went out.

The people in the county lord's mansion are happy, saying that it is old material, but every year, in addition to Hongchen's own share, the materials rewarded in the palace alone are simply uncountable, Hongchen changes eight sets of clothes a day, and he will definitely not be able to wear one-tenth of it, and many of them are also Jiangnan tribute materials, just because the color does not please the master, he didn't even open the seal, and he was directly rewarded to the female official.

These female officials also take a lot of money, and they have a lot of clothes all year round, but who would dislike good things?

Many of those materials are given to Hongchen by the queen's mother, which is naturally superior, and they take them to make clothes, or give gifts, no matter how decent, this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, there are many people who prepare in advance, and take them back in large bags and small bags, so as to show off in front of the family.

For several days, the atmosphere in the county lord's mansion was particularly lively and lively, Hongchen sat in the study, and occasionally heard the little girls giggling, chasing and playing.

The sun is shining today.

Hongchen turned over the material of the big hair, most of the fox fur is there, and there is a bear skin, the bear skin can be left for Xiaohe, Lin Xu is not willing to wear it, and he doesn't know where the problem is, he doesn't wear clothes such as bear skin and wolf skin, and fox skin and rabbit skin can still be worn.

Simply take out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, sketch it, the men's robes are all the same, at most in the pattern, Lin Xu loves simplicity, he doesn't want big flowers, or Xiaohe is good to serve, what to wear.

While playing, Xue Baiqiao came.

Xue Baiqiao came to the county lord's mansion, and he was familiar with the way, so he didn't need Luo Niang to greet him, he didn't drink tea, and directly took the fruit wine hidden in the red dust and poured it himself.

Hongchen smiled when he saw him: "Is this a round of fat?" ”

Xue Baiqiao: "...... Not much. "When the weather gets cooler, people eat more, and it's normal to grow more meat.

The white little appearance is quite attractive, Hongchen sat down with a smile: "You are not at home with Shujun, why did you come to me?" ”

Before Xue Baiqiao could speak, Hongchen suddenly said: "Yes, Sister Shujun is not at home today, and she will go to the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to check the new batch of weapons." ”

"......" Xue Baiqiao frowned, "I said county lord, don't say it, it seems that I am only willing to go out when my daughter-in-law is not at home all day." ”

He's been a little lazy lately, but it has nothing to do with his wife, it's just that he doesn't want to move.

"Don't cough with you, Hongchen, you have to do me a favor, I promised in front of my brother, if you don't help me this time, I won't have the face to see people."

"Is there something wrong with Mr. Lin?"

Hongchen was stunned, if Senior Brother Lin had something to look for her, he could just come by himself, why did he let this little marquis run away.

Xue Baiqiao: "...... I seem to be a brother like Lin Xu's bastard! Is it someone else, someone else? ”

The little marquis was almost fried.

Hongchenwaner: "What's the hurry, why don't I know that you have other brothers besides Lin Xu?" Oh, it can't be your big brother, right? ”

Xue Baiqiao jumped up suddenly: "Who is a brother with Lin Xu?" He is my enemy, my worst enemy! ”

Panting, he took a sip of wine and wiped his face, "...... Forget it, let you take it off-topic, I recently met a brother, he has been a little wrong recently, as if he has been evil, always shouting hungry, always shouting hungry, eating desperately, eating everything, raw meat to eat, the family is afraid of holding him to death, can only tie him, but this kid doesn't know where the huge power comes from, recently I don't pay attention, I can't even tie the rope, I want to run if I break free. ”

Hongchen's face also became serious: "Is this a bit interesting?" Okay, then I'll take you to see. ”

Xue Baiqiao suddenly smiled: "I know that our county lord is the best friend." ”

Hongchen was complimented by him, anyway, he had been free recently, so he asked someone to prepare the car, and went out with Xue Baiqiao.

Just listening to this guy's description, he naturally didn't know the specific situation, but Hongchen also guessed a little that since he was desperately eating, he might have been possessed by a starving ghost, which was a bit dangerous.

When you meet a starving ghost, only a few can survive.

"It's okay to have one, but don't be a group of hungry ghosts." Hongchen was a little uneasy in his heart, and he didn't waste time, and soon followed Xue Baiqiao to the place.

It is an ordinary house, it should be an ordinary squire's house, with two courtyards, seven or eight large tiled houses, and there are five or six people.

Xue Baiqiao said very casually: "The Jin family is in the antique business, my brother is quite capable and has good eyesight...... Hey? Today to quiet. ”

Because something happened to the Jin family, when he came over yesterday, the family was in a lot of trouble, Xue Baiqiao got out of the car, just wanted to go over and knock on the door, the door opened, and an old man in his fifties happened to send a young woman wearing a robe out.

The woman was handsome, and she also had some momentum on her body, and she looked quite good.

Xue Baiqiao showed a little smile on his face: "Hongchen, you don't know, since you became famous, the number of female spiritual masters in our capital has increased dramatically, I went to see Wang Banxian a few days ago, and he also said that now business is getting worse and worse, not only do you have to compete with the old fritters, but now even the little girls are active one by one." ”

The old man nodded at the woman in the robe: "Master Qi, you don't have a day off anymore?" Last night, you saved the child and lost your vitality, so you might as well thank you more. ”

The woman shook her head with a cold attitude.

"Daddy Jin, how is Brother Xin?"

The old man turned his head to see Xue Baiqiao, and showed a smile on his face: "Okay, it's already good, I stared at him and slept last night, and I didn't make any noise all night, thank you Xue Gongzi for worrying." ”

Xue Baiqiao was a little surprised, but this was a good thing, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems that our county lord has run for nothing." ”

That's fine, but it's a pity......

Hongchen raised his eyes, his face became more and more solemn, and he said coldly: "Uncle, how long have you not seen your son?" ”

Daddy Jin was stunned: "Huh? ”

"I'm afraid something has happened to your son, go and see it right away, if he is not in the house, then something really happened."

Hongchen frowned.

Daddy Jin was a little overwhelmed for a while.

The woman beside him also frowned, her eyes were sharp, and she fell on Hongchen's body, bringing out a little displeasure, and said softly: "Don't worry, Ling Gongzi was possessed by a starving ghost, it was a small one, it should have only been beaten into the hungry ghost path for a short time, it is not difficult to deal with, I have already surpassed it, it is no big deal." ”

Daddy Jin hurriedly said, "Of course I can trust the master. ”

Then he turned his head and said to Hongchen, "Miss Xie cares, my son was very awake all day yesterday, and his illness has been cured, so he should be fine." ”

The young woman also snorted coldly: "How old are you, you have learned to be alarmist, don't think that if something happens to someone's family, you can be deceived by people like you, I think, the atmosphere in the capital is really getting worse and worse, it is because of people like you who are muddying the waters, so that the people are cautious when they invite spiritual masters, and they dare not easily believe ......"

Hongchen didn't bother to pay attention to it, and gave Xue Baiqiao a look.

Xue Baiqiao helped Hongchen get out of the car and rushed into the door: "Okay, he's just fine, I should go and see, when is this, and I can't sleep until now." ”

Daddy Jin had no choice but to follow his footsteps and walk into the yard.

I don't know what the young female master thought, but she didn't leave either, and followed in.

walked all the way to the door of the Jin family's son.

Xue Baiqiao went up to fight and knocked on the door, but there was no movement for a long time.

"Jin Xin, Jin Xin, open the door!"

Hongchen looked around and sighed: "No need to call, follow me immediately...... I just don't know if it's too late, but don't harm others. ”

As she spoke, she turned her head and went out, walking as fast as she flew.

Xue Baiqiao had already kicked the door open.

The situation in the room frightened him and he took three steps back—a woman was lying on the ground, covered in blood, her right arm missing, and all that was left was a pile of bones.

"Ahh

Father Jin obviously also saw that there was a windmill-like snoring sound in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and when he saw Xue Baiqiao rushing away, he instinctively pulled his legs and left, caught up with Hongchen all the way, got into the car and ran quickly.

As for the young woman, her face had already changed, and she looked extremely surprised: "How is it possible, how is it possible!" ”

After a long time of coming back to his senses, he hurriedly chased after him, fell behind the group, and followed hesitantly, this person still didn't believe that Jin Xin was not good, and muttered: "Xu Yes, Xu met the gangster who broke through the empty door?" ”

Although the maid's appearance is terrifying, it cannot be said that Jin Xin did it.

Those who were running wildly in front couldn't hear her words, it is estimated that Daddy Jin heard it, and he was still willing to believe it, who would be happy to have an accident with his baby son? (To be continued.) )
