Chapter 240: Hell
The lord of Ronghua held the jade statue in his hand, and after a long moment of daze, Hongchen reached out and nodded the foal's forehead.
"Wake up, let you stay here for a hundred years, and after a hundred years, you will re-enter reincarnation."
Maybe for a horse, a hundred years is nothing, as long as it stays with its owner.
Lord Ronghua's eyes widened suddenly.
The foal in the palm of his hand raised his head, flicked his front hooves, and wagged his tail very unhappily.
Every time the ink dye is very aggrieved, very aggrieved, it will be like this.
You have to be soft-hearted every time.
Lord Ronghua's eyes were red, and he didn't care about being scared at first, so he couldn't help laughing, and touched his forehead.
The foal was aggrieved in the palm of her hand.
A jade statue can actually see the expression, which is really interesting.
Hongchen smiled: "It wants to take you out to play, but it won't be possible in the future." β
I lowered my head and looked at the little thing.
"You can be content with a white jade horse body, and you still want a big one, where can I go to find you such a big spirit jade, and how can I have the strength to make it for you."
Lord Ronghua suddenly burst out laughing, laughing until he hiccuped, such a gaffe, it really didn't look like her. Hongchen was also happy in his heart.
This girl still has blessings to enjoy later, so there's no need to worry.
Farewell to the lord of Ronghua and go back to the house, enter the house, the family revolves around her, Luo Niang and Xiao Yan don't say that their master is nosy, if the master doesn't care, they are afraid that they have not settled down so far, how can there be a good life now. It's just that I'm worried in the end.
The matter of the lord of Ronghua, although it has not been spread, what should be known in the capital is clear, and now it is necessary to reconcile, and the palace does not know what to think, and his own master is mixed in, in case it makes the Lord of Long Live unhappy, it is important to reprimand.
In the capital, the emperor's words can make life. One sentence can make people die. I'm afraid it's not better to get tired of that one.
Unexpectedly, in the evening, the queen mother sent three boxes of toys over, and there was everything. Even the rewards for the palace people have been prepared. Gold leaves of all colors. Silver leaves, and a bunch of light-colored fabrics.
A group of little palace maids broke the coke and took their own things. Thinking about making new clothes to wear during the New Year's Festival, it also looks decent.
Now the materials, the majority of the heavy color, or there is no color, gray, white, blue and the like, the color is dull, it looks old, especially the clothes of the next person, need to be wear-resistant and wear-resistant, often the pulp will fade, with that bright and elegant good material, can only be worn for a short time, too cost-effective, usually will not go out of way to buy, there will be no example.
The rewards of the masters are different.
"Yo? The fragrance is blowing in your face! β
Xue Baiqiao got off the horse, and as soon as he entered the gate of the county lord's mansion, he saw that the little palace maids were all goose yellow and willow green, and they were beautiful and bright, so they whistled unconsciously, and smiled and said a few words to the little palace maid with a shy face.
Luo Niang and Xiao Yan came over to greet him, gave him a bowl of herbal tea first, and snickered when they heard the words: "Miss Yun heard it carefully." β
"Where would I be afraid of her!"
Xue Baiqiao dismissed, "The new ice bowl in your shop, why don't you give me the whole one to eat." β
Luo Niang led him to the flower hall and sat down, and asked the palace people to go to the kitchen to get it.
It's all ready-made, and now the weather is hot and humid, and I'm afraid that the masters will be hot and unbearable, and the fresh ice products in the kitchen have been prepared very well.
Hongchen was reading, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he asked him to sit outside for a while, and read the last dozen pages of a small book by himself before he came out.
Xue Baiqiao was not angry, and said with a smile: "I know that I am not Lin Xu, and I don't invite our county lord to be treated, but as long as there is delicious food, if you don't want to see it, you won't see it." β
Speaking of Senior Brother Lin, Hongchen frowned slightly: "He hasn't come back for some days, and he doesn't know what he's busy with?" β
This Xue Baiqiao doesn't know either.
"Anyway, when I get married, he will always come, and if no one arrives, he will get gifts."
Xue Baiqiao has been thinking about this for a long time, he wants Lin Xu's saber, and he put it in that person's sleeve, he has seen it once, and he likes it very much, Lin Xu joked, which **** marries, give it to him one day!
Hongchen also knew about this, and couldn't cry or laugh: "On a happy day, how can you send weapons?" Senior Brother Lin is joking! β
I don't know when I called Senior Brother Lin, it seems that there was a mistake and I shouted the wrong one, Lin Xu said at that time that the two of them should be born together, call Senior Brother and call Senior Brother, I don't think the master will care.
It is probably because of this that there are more and more rumors that Hongchen is a disciple of Mr. Guigu, and even Lin Xu's two senior brothers think that their master has accepted another little disciple, and Lin Xu, a closed disciple, is not worthy of the name.
Hongchen originally thought that this kind of misunderstanding would not exist for a long time, but he never thought that even Mr. Guigu didn't say much, and it could only be said that it was an inexplicable fate.
"Then I don't care, the martial arts surnamed Lin is a three-legged cat, not even half of me, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a weak scholar, a good weapon is a pearl with him, it is better to give it to me...... By the way, I seem to have heard the law Fenghe mention that that guy is investigating something, it seems to be quite serious, and I don't know what it is. β
When Hongchen heard this, he was also a little worried, but there was no need to worry, Senior Brother Lin had a good background, strong ability, many friends, and responded to every call, only others were afraid of him, so he would not scruple about others.
Xue Baiqiao's wedding date is indeed approaching.
He's been a little nervous lately.
This time, he came over to pestering Hongchen, and he had to ask Hongchen to tell him a hexagram.
"I don't need you to give any gifts, anyway, you have to calculate for me, how will my married life be? How many children will there be? Well, also, how long does Shujun live? Can we grow old together, and ......"
Hongchen laughed while listening: "Okay, good, good, count, you go to Wang Banxian, he recently opened a new business, specializing in marriage, you want him to calculate, how many concubines you will have in the future, what will they look like, he can also tell you the truth." β
"County Lord!"
Xue Baiqiao was angry before calling the county lord.
When he shouted, he poked there with a sad face, sighing.
Hongchen was so angry and happy for him.
The eldest lady of the Yun family. It's time to live in their house to do housework for him, very generous, completely ignoring his Yunying unmarried outside, only saying that he is Mrs. Xue, how many villains have a lot of tongues, a lot of jokes, and people don't care, he is muttering and thinking nonsense here.
Xue Baiqiao also has his own reasoning.
"Can't blame me for thinking too much...... In the past few days, you have encountered something particularly uncomfortable, have you heard of Chen Wen and Su Yunniang? β
I haven't heard of this yet.
It was a well-known couple in the capital. The couple is deeply affectionate. How many women, even men, envy it.
Chen Wen is a scholar and quite talented, but he did not meet in his early years. The family also does not pay enough attention. Have a fiancΓ©e. is Su Yunniang, Yun Niang was born beautiful, and it is unknown whether she is peerless. is the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, although Su Xiangye has been a minister, but there are many protΓ©gΓ©s, and he has won the trust of Long Live again, even now, he is quite dependent on him, the marriage contract between the two, many people can't see it, and they all persuade Su Yunniang to choose another husband, even Su Xiangye also values his beloved apprentice more, and hesitates.
Yun Niang broke her hairpin at that time and swore that the woman would not marry twice, she would rather be a broken jade than a complete tile, and she was a member of the Chen family all her life.
Everyone finally didn't dare to force her, and then someone came up with an idea, using wealth and power to coerce Chen Wen to take the initiative to give up the marriage contract, soft or hard, with all kinds of means, Chen Wen refused, he didn't know which madman hired someone to break his fingers.
Chen Wen is a scholar, he is a good painter, he is a famous artist, and now it is difficult to even write, let alone participate in the imperial examination.
The imperial examination is a scholar, paying attention to appearance, it is impossible to have a disability, and the court cannot afford to lose that face.
Yun Niang knelt in front of the door of Mr. Baicao, the miracle doctor at the time, knelt for three days and three nights, begged Mr. Baicao to save his fiancΓ©, and finally let his old man agree, and regardless of the name, lived in the Chen family, **** took care of Chen Wen, and finally made Chen Wen recover, the two have been married for ten years, Qin Se and Ming, love and love, Chen Wen does not have any concubines, even if Yun Niang entered the body in the cold, injured the body, it was difficult to get pregnant, for this ten years of medicine, still did not give birth to a son and a half daughter.
Hongchen had heard it back then, and he knew it before he came to the capital.
"What's wrong? Aren't the two very good? β
What's good......
Xue Baiqiao poked on the chair, his face full of sorrow: "Hey, it's been very bad recently, Chen Wen is going to divorce Yun Niang and marry Liu Xiaoman as his wife." β
Hongchen was stunned: "Liu Xiaoman? β
There is only one Liu Xiaoman she knows, who is good at playing the pipa, and everyone in the pipa, the officials in the court, from time to time want to go to the Teaching Department to listen to her tunes.
That's the head of the famous line.
"How is that possible!"
"I heard what Chen Wen said with my own ears, although it hasn't spread yet, but I see that Chen Wen has made up his mind, and it won't be long before something happens."
Xue Baiqiao shuddered.
He knows Su Yunniang's temperament, of course she is not hot, she is also gentle and virtuous on weekdays, but she is quite stubborn and strong, and it is absolutely impossible for her husband who has been with her for many years to fall into the hands of others like this.
Hongchen: "......"
The world is unpredictable, the world is unpredictable!
"Okay, don't think nonsense, other people's business is someone else's business, who are you, you don't know yet? We all know very well who Shujun is, you two will definitely love and love each other, and grow old together. β
Hongchen slapped Xue Baiqiao's shoulder.
Xue Baiqiao let out a long breath when he landed: "When Daxian speaks, I feel much more at ease." β
What kind of person is Hongchen, I have to say a word from her, don't talk about Xue Baiqiao, His Majesty the Emperor also has to believe it.
It happened that Xue Baiqiao came over, Hongchen took him to Wang Banxian's shop, she recently wrote some very wonderful things, and sent them there for Wang Banxian to help frame them, and now Xue Baiqiao is here, let him take it back.
"After you get married, take it out and put it under your pillow, and good things will happen. If you want to read it, you can read it, and you will definitely be able to read it. β
Although it was written in the divine language, because it was given to the two of them, others could not read it, but they would definitely be able to understand it.
The two of them rode horses all the way to Wang Banxian.
Wang Banxian happened to be meeting guests.
Hongchen and Xue Baiqiao did not show their identities seriously, pretending to be ordinary people, sitting down in the store to drink tea first, and looking at the things in the store by the way.
On the shelves on both sides, there are some knick-knacks. What treasure gourds, bronze mirrors, gossip mirrors, talismans, etc., and some large magic weapons, all have stable aura, it seems that Wang Banxian is now less likely to deceive people.
After drinking tea for a while, as soon as the door of the inner room opened, a tall man walked out. A big beard. It looks very strange, I can't see the age clearly, there is still a little anger between my eyebrows, and my eyes are fierce.
Hongchen frowned when he saw him.
But this man did not look at the people around him. The expression was very indifferent.
"Yo. Welcome to the door! β
Wang Banxian walked out of the house. When he saw Hongchen and Xue Baiqiao, he smiled, deliberately went to the counter respectfully and took out a sandalwood box, and held it in front of Hongchen with both hands: "The fairy is polite." The villain is fortunate not to be dishonored, but do you like it? β
The box is made of spiritual wood, which can converge the aura, and when you open it, you can see that there is a golden scroll inside, on which the pattern of the dragon and phoenix is drawn, and the scriptures are very beautiful.
Hongchen opened it and looked at it, feeling okay, and smiled unconsciously: "Yes, Wang Lao Immortal can do this business." β
Wang Banxian also stroked his beard and smiled: "You should be attentive." β
He has been with Hongchen for a long time now, and he treats people and things more seriously than before, mainly because he is afraid that he will hurt the guests again because of deceiving people, and he will accumulate debts at that time.
After receiving the things, Hongchen smiled and asked, "That person came to ask for trouble just now?" β
Wang Banxian sighed: "It's not easy to do business, I suspect that other peers have come to kick the gym, hey!" β
Hongchen's eyes flashed, and he asked carefully, Wang Banxian had nothing to hide, so he told the cause and effect of the matter.
This person came to their store three days ago, not to say that his house is particularly cold, there is yin qi, there may be ghosts, I hope Wang Banxian can sell him a magic weapon to exorcise evil spirits and protect himself, what he said is very pitiful, and what he said is very good, he has to ask Wang Banxian to help.
"You also know, I have a lot of this kind of magic amulet."
That's right, Hongchen introduced a few Buddhist temples and Taoist temples that specialize in consecrating magic weapons to him, and the Yan family can also make magic weapons.
Although they all belong to the kind of very simple magic weapons, serious and good magic weapons are definitely not sold, but for ordinary people, they are enough.
"I gave him a town altar wood, or a good spirit wood production, he took it back only two days, then came back to make trouble, said that my things are useless, I have to sell him a magic weapon that can kill ghosts, I saw that he was angry, so I sold him a peach wood sword, but today he came again, as soon as he came, he made a big fuss, I said that if his house is not clean, I can ask a spirit master to go to his house to see the situation, he was angry at the time, saying that I am a liar, everything in the store is a lie, and he will leave after scolding."
Wang Banxian also shook his head angrily, "I don't know which peer came to listen to the truth, or it disturbed people's minds." β
Hongchen thought for a moment and raised his eyebrows: "It's a little interesting." β
But he didn't say anything, put away the things, and led Xue Baiqiao away: "Xue Baiqiao is about to get married, I'll go around the street to see if there is a magic weapon for marriage and harmony to buy him one." β
Wang Banxian smiled: "How can there be, or your old man told me that the most difficult thing in the world is the matter of men and women, not to mention the magic weapon, that is, to invite a living Bodhisattva to sit at home, whether to make a contradiction or a contradiction." β
That's why his store never sells such things.
Hongchen shrugged, glanced at Xue Baiqiao with a smile and said, "It's just a thought, so that our little marquis can think all day long." β
The main thing is that since it is out, there is no hurry to go back.
The two of them were just about to go out, and another person pushed the door outside, and one person came in, it was still the same person just now, his face was snow-white, his expression was frightened, he reached out and put the peachwood sword, and the town altar wood snapped, fell to the ground, and roared: "You liar, what's the use of this thing, it's a deception at all, a bastard who kills people and doesn't pay for his life, today I will smash your shitty shop, let you deceive people, let you deceive people!" β
While scolding, he picked up the peachwood sword and smashed it towards Wang Banxian.
Although this person's strength is not large, it is extremely ruthless, and Wang Banxian's sword is a little heavy, which makes him hurt all over.
Xue Baiqiao was startled, and hurriedly slapped the wooden sword down, kicked the person away, kicked him staggered a few steps, and fell outside.
This person gritted his teeth, his eyes were full of hatred, and when he saw Xue Baiqiao, his eyes flashed, but he didn't trouble him, only glared at Wang Banxian.
Xue Baiqiao was also a little surprised, looking up and down, he always looked at this person with a familiar eye, and his voice was also familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it.
Wang Banxian was angry.
He opened his doors to do business. Word of mouth is very important, reputation is naturally more important, now a group of onlookers outside, pedestrians on the street are also very concerned, if this guy ruins his reputation, then it will be repaid!
The problem is that it is not appropriate to beat or drive people away at this time, so Wang Banxian will give Hongchen a look.
Hongchen smiled and shook his head. Ponder for a moment. took the initiative to go over and help the man up, and said gently: "Don't worry about this guest, if you have something to say, speak slowly." β
She was a woman, and she was born beautiful and gentle. And the man was not angry. It's just that I'm still angry.
Wang Banxian's heart was panicked. He still had the appearance of a fairy wind on his face, stroked his beard, and said softly: "What the guest said is inappropriate." The old decay is also somewhat famous in the capital, since the guests came, it must not be ignorant, the magic weapon in my store, you can take it to Dayun Temple and other places, please ask the monks to test, if there is a little bit of bad, the old decay is willing to triple the compensation. β
The man didn't speak, just gritted his teeth, slammed the peachwood sword to the ground, and said angrily: "It's useless to say more, this thing just can't exorcise ghosts, otherwise you can drive one to show me, if you can, then I ...... I will kowtow to you and make amends. β
Wang Banxian was speechless.
He just thought, where can I catch a ghost and try to drive it away?
Hongchen clapped his hands and smiled: "It's okay." β
Wang Banxian: "......"
Hongchen shook his head: "Open the door to do business, of course, we must satisfy the guests, and the requirements put forward by the guests, no matter how difficult it is, we have to do it." β
Wang Banxian coughed.
Hongchen bent down, picked up the peachwood sword from the ground, and smiled at the man: "It's just a little bit, the store has a lot of yang energy, a lot of magic weapons, and a strong aura, we definitely can't attract a ghost, drive it to the guests, it's better to go outside the store, I'll demonstrate it to the guests." β
The man was stunned.
"Ahem."
Wang Banxian coughed twice, but he also deliberately made a look of no choice, pushed open the door, and invited the guests out.
Hongchen went out first, and the man hesitated, but he barely managed to get to the street.
A group of onlookers were very curious and pointed.
The man lowered his head, his eyes flickered and dodged, to the point where he didn't seem to be very suitable for a crowded place, Hongchen looked around twice, and muttered slightly: "It's daylight, the guests haven't opened their eyes, and they can't see ghosts and evil spirits, but it's okay, you can feel it if you don't see it." β
The guest jerked his head up.
Hongchen thought for a while, and said seriously: "Guests, you may not understand, after meeting ghosts, the yin qi is too heavy, but it is not particularly cold, but the body is stiff, the heart is racing, and the body is like a bath in fire, which is extremely terrifying, especially for ordinary people, and it is even more serious." β
The guest nodded again and again, with a strong sense of fear in his eyes, and whispered: "That's it, that's it!" β
"Then I'll summon a ghost for you to try?"
As soon as Hongchen's voice fell, the guest was excited, shivered, his body trembled, and he swallowed and foamed, but he hesitated for a long time, his teeth chattered, but he still nodded.
At this time, even Wang Banxian's heart was furious, he could vaguely see that this guest seemed to be not just here to make trouble, he looked like he was particularly afraid of something, was it really hell?
Hongchen's face was serious, he raised his eyes and looked around, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a small flag appeared in his hand: "This is the Soul Flag, you take him and listen to my command." β
"Ahem......"
Wang Banxian endured it and endured the smile.
The flag was made casually when he played a small game with a few friends two days ago, and it was used to command, it was originally a pair, but it was thrown behind the door just now, but I didn't expect the county lord to turn it out, and this is ......
The guest was very cautious and cautiously took the things.
Hongchen nodded, closed his eyes for a moment, opened his eyes suddenly, and said sharply: "The Quartet Land listens to the order, now borrow a revenant soul, please come here quickly!" β
The guest shuddered, his eyes were frightened, Hongchen raised his head, squinted, and said coldly: "Here, the guest takes three steps back." β
The man cautiously took three steps back.
"One more step north."
The man took another step north, and as soon as he walked over, he screamedβ"Ahh β
A voice frightened the onlookers' faces to change suddenly.
The guest was trembling, but his face was flushed, he opened his mouth and gasped, rolled his eyes, and stretched out his finger to point at Hongchen as if he was suffocated.
Hongchen nodded: "Did the guest feel a ghost?" β
The man nodded desperately.
"I'm starting to exorcise now?"
The man nodded again.
Hongchen gently handed over the peachwood sword and stuffed it into the man's hand, and the next moment, he grabbed the sword tightly, and the whole person collapsed to the ground, sweat soaked through his clothes, tears and snot flowed out, very embarrassed.
Wang Banxian: "......"
The people around were so frightened that they all retreated, away from the man, and some of them were creepy, and their backs were coldβcould there really be a ghost? (To be continued.) )
