"It's a deal!" Jiao Fengming was a little excited, and then said: "If the master sees a similar jade, he must not let it go, it is said that when the five jades are ready, he can open the immortal mansion!" ”

The two were talking when they heard a loud commotion coming from downstairs.

They have basically finished talking, and when they are full of wine and food, they will leave the private room.

A group of big cannibals downstairs rushed in and grabbed the shopkeeper to ask.

The shopkeeper is also a Hu man, and the two sides are chattering non-stop.

Someone upstairs poked his head out and scolded, "Who is so noisy that you don't let people drink?" ”

The big cannibal led by the leader shouted in stiff Chinese: "The Western Regions camel gang is doing things, if you don't want to die, get out quickly!" ”

The upstairs man scolded: "It turned out to be the scraps of the camel gang, grandpa has been looking at you for a long time!" Brothers, let them know that they know how powerful the Wuling Society is, and beat them out for me! ”

When the people of the camel gang heard this, they shouted: "You Wuling will not stay in Dongcheng and come to us to spread wild, don't think about going out of Xishi today!" ”

A gang fight happened right in front of him, Guo Hong, who was the initiator, had long been unnoticed, he and Jiao Fengming jumped from the window to the roof and walked for a while, and fell into the street near the north gate of the West Market, saluting and saying goodbye.

Before he had gone far, a group of big cannibals with machetes wrapped in white turbans and white robes rushed to the street, and they shouted to catch up.

"Stop! The old monk must be from the Wuling Society! Which monastery? Dare to come to West Market to make trouble? ”

"Of the Blue Dragon Temple."

Guo Hong turned around and kicked the people in front of him out, grabbed the scimitar with his hand and grabbed a knife flower, and the big cannibals who chased after him hurriedly stopped their steps.

"It's kind of leaving a name!"

Guo Hong glanced at the big cannibal with a scimitar and muttered, "Alibaba." ”

He walked to the head of the bridge and jumped into the stern of a small boat in the canal, and the boatman saw that it was an old monk, and he was slightly stunned and did not dare to say more, but stepped up to rock the boat.

The cries of the big cannibals grew farther and farther away, and the boat flew away.

After Guo Hong got off the boat, he found a secluded place to restore his original appearance, dinner had been eaten, and now it was time to go to Du Mansion to check on the female ghost.

************

Du Mu rode a horse to the front of the mansion and was very proud when he saw the wide aconitum gate.

After more than 20 years of hard work, he finally redeemed his ancestral home, which is a sign of Du Jiaxing, and future generations will be proud of it.

The Aconitum Gate is also called the Hengmen, and only the gates of officials above the fifth rank and the Lifang can use this regulation, and the name comes from the black clay pot used to protect from rain on the pillar at the top of the door.

At this time, Uncle Wei, who was sitting in the "Yanren's Room" (that is, the communication room) by the door, hurriedly opened the door, and Du Mu and his relatives entered with the horses.

Because the people of the Tang Dynasty had to ride horses, the gate of the mansion did not build steps like the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it can be said that it was a smooth road from the outside to the inside.

When the two came to the front of the hall, Du Mu dismounted, handed over the reins to his relatives and led them to the stable, and entered the room by himself.

Cui Shi heard the neighing of the horse at this time, and took Ah Dou out to greet him.

Du Mu was forty-six years old, and he doted on this wife who was fifteen years younger than him, and stepped forward to hold Cui's little hand, both of them smiling.

Cui Shi said softly: "There is a big happy event to inform Lang Jun today. ”

Du Mu smiled: "Tell me what is good!" ”

He has had a bad situation in the past two months, and he wants to hear about any happy events and be happy.

Du Mu was unlucky enough this year.

He was transferred back to the court by his friend Zhou Ji and became a foreigner six years ago, which belonged to a high-grade and low-grade position, and should be promoted soon according to convention, but Zhou Ji was knocked down by Cui Xuan and released from Beijing, and his situation was embarrassing all of a sudden.

Although Cui Xuan will not target him, he will not be deliberately promoted, which is equivalent to five or six years of being released to the official for nothing, and he is stuck at the level of a foreign officer, and he is not up or down.

In the Six Divisions, the official rank of the Wai Lang is from the sixth rank, and he is the deputy of Lang Zhong (from the fifth rank), which is equivalent to the deputy director of the later generations.

In September of the fourth year of Huichang, Du Mu did the history of Chizhou Thorn.

Chizhou was promoted to Shangzhou in May of the fourth year of Huichang, and Shangzhou Thorn History has been promoted from the official rank of Sanpin.

How can he be willing to hold a position from the sixth rank of the third rank. (Equivalent to the deputy director at the level of deputy minister)

The practice of the promotion of officials in the Tang Dynasty was to go to the Jiedu envoy and the assassin to join the army after the middle jinshi, and the qualifications were enough to return to the imperial court, and slowly rose from the seventh-rank official, to the Xiazhou Thorn History under the fourth-grade from the sixth-rank member Wailang.

Wait for the promotion to the history of the state from the third grade, and accumulate enough qualifications to govern the place, at this time, if there is someone in the court, he will be transferred back to be a member of the foreign lang, and then promoted to the middle of the lang, and there are also direct scholars. followed by Jiuqing, Liubu Shangshu, or Zhongshu, and Menxia Shilang, that is, the prime minister, and then released as a festival envoy after the prime minister resigned.

If there is no one in the court, he will continue to do the assassination history, transfer to a few times, and slowly stay up until he is also an observer envoy, and then to the festival envoy. But this road will be raised to the top of the festival, and it will not be transferred back to the central court as the minister, at most add a Tongping chapter matter, and be the minister of the festival.

Being a prime minister in the Tang Dynasty was the dream of all scholars, and if you can take the first road, you won't go to the second road.

Du Mu originally took the first way, but after Zhou Qi resigned, he couldn't see any hope of promotion, and now he is thinking about requesting to be released and strive to go back to the second way.

Cui's naturally knows her husband's troubles, she is actually in a hurry, but there is nothing she can do, and her brother is just a thorn, so this kind of thing can't help at all.

The matter of the external transfer is not in a hurry, and Du Mu has already gone to a "Prime Minister Asks for Huzhou Assassin Shi Qi", but there is no response at all.

Cui's family was going to tell the story of discovering Liu Yanniang and Li'er, so that Du Mu would be happy, so as not to borrow wine to kill his sorrows as soon as he went home.

************

Guo Hong changed into night clothes, masked and climbed over the wall to enter the Du Mansion, in fact, the curfew in the Tang Dynasty was nothing to the knights.

Although the knights can't fly around like in the TV series, the four-meter-high wall can be climbed without tools, and the five-meter-six-meter can be climbed with the help of hooks.

In addition, the big trees next to the main road of Chang'an are mostly hundreds of years old, and you can jump to the wall of the workshop when you climb up, but the movement is relatively large and easy to be discovered.

Guo Hong had been here during the day, and secretly remembered the layout of the house, and he went straight to the back garden.

The pool is full of lotus leaves, adjacent to a water pavilion, at this time the lights are brilliant, and there are many people.

Guo Hong walked quietly, slowly leaned over, and as soon as he hid under the porch, he heard a woman in the hall say: "Husband, this is what Master Cao found from under the big tree." ”

Guo Hong remembered that this voice was Cui's.

Another man said: "This is Lan Yuzhang, don't spread this matter!" ”

Cui Shi said again: "Husband, isn't it an evil thing? Or throw it away! ”

"Where do you think of it? This is likely to be one of the four imperial treasures stolen in the fifth year of Emperor Huichang! Guo Hong guessed that this man was Du Mu.

"That's good, that's good. How could the Imperial Treasure of the First Emperor be in the mansion? Didn't you get moved by that female ghost......"

Du Mu said with a smile: "If Ah Pei really becomes a ghost, he will not harm our family, after all, Master Cao and Zhu Ji are her nephews." As for why this piece of blue jade is buried under the tree, I can guess a little. After the rebellion of Wang Cairen, the emperor had fled into the temple to hide, and then the first emperor ordered the destruction of the temple to destroy the Buddha, His Majesty disguised himself as a monk and hid in this mansion, at that time this house was called a haunted house, ordinary people did not dare to approach, they hid here for more than half a month, and then escaped from Chang'an to Hebei for refuge in the blockade. This blue jade must have been buried under the tree at that time. ”

Guo Hong felt a little strange in his heart, and only heard Cui Shi ask: "If the emperor buried it, why didn't he send someone to dig up the jade after he came back?" ”

Du Mu paused for a moment before saying: "I can't guess this for my husband, go back and ask my brother-in-law, they have a lot of connections in the palace, maybe they know something." ”

Guo Hong quietly stretched out his head to take a peek, and saw that Du Mu took Lan Yuzhang into his arms, and secretly remembered it in his heart.

In the hall, Du Mu asked Cui Shi: "Is this the case?" But it's not a happy event, is it? ”

Cui Shi said: "Lang Jun, of course it's not this matter!" The concubine has found the daughter of the Liu family in Nanling, and she and Li'er live in Chonghuafang next to the West Market! ”

Du Mu's spirits were lifted, and another reason why he returned to Chang'an was to find his daughter.

"Lady, have you sent someone?"

"There is only one Zuo Kui in the family who has good martial arts, I'm afraid that I won't be able to catch people, do you want to report to Jingzhao Mansion?"

I saw Du Mu groaning slightly and said, "That Shen Zhao is also there?" ”

Cui Shi said: "The wicked have evil retribution, Shen Zhao changed his name to Yu Chengzhao, and was pushed off the wooden tower in Qinglong Temple a few days ago and fell to his death. ”

Du Mu shook his head and said: "Then you can't report to the official, first, when this child was born, you and I haven't married, I can't say clearly, and secondly, if Yan Niang is really arrested, I'm afraid she will have to be sent to Sinong Temple to serve, she just died of relatives, it's really a bit miserable." ”

Cui Shi stomped his foot and said: "When is this still pity on the jade, my departure was abducted by the two of them, these three Chinese New Year's Eve nights are sleepless, is it just that?" ”

Guo Hong wondered in his heart, Xuanji was born by Yan Niang, why did this Cui Shi speak in a tone as if he was his own daughter?

Du Mu said with a smile: "Madame, I was angry at the time, I did a bad job at that time, and let her have an unnecessary misunderstanding, which caused such a result, after all, the child is her own flesh and ......blood."

Cui Shi said angrily: "I have raised this child for two years, just like my own child, didn't my husband listen to her death and want to take back the house?" ”

Du Mu hurriedly shook his head and said categorically: "Then how can it be, Mrs. has worked hard to take care of Brother Cao and the two of them, and she is grateful to her husband from the bottom of her heart, and she will never do such an ungrateful thing!" ”

"If you have a conscience, what do you say now?"

Du Mu said: "Let Zuo Kui and Du Yuanzong go, two big men are still afraid that they won't be able to catch a weak woman?" ”

Choi nodded.

Du Mu called to follow Du Yuanzong and Zuo Kui in person, and advised: "Go early tomorrow morning, please if you can, please please, it's best not to be rude, don't hurt Yan Niang." ”

The two of them were ordered to go down.

Cui Shi glanced at him, and Du Mu hurriedly explained: "She has a fight with me, and she has been giving birth to a child for three years, which can be regarded as her own family, in fact, it is okay, if Li'er is in the house, it is also a trouble to be asked about her age." ”

Cui Shi said angrily: "Do you want Liu to be your outer room?" He also said that he didn't think about it, you Bo Xinglang! ”

Du Mu: "......"

Guo Hong peeked outside and almost laughed out loud, it seems that this one was happy and accidentally said the truth......

He waited for a long time before Du Mu and his wife left the water pavilion, presumably going back to their room to sleep.

It was pitch black in the house.

The moon was hidden in the sky, and the sound of a woman crying came from the direction of the big tree by the pool.

Guo Hong saw the maid coming with a copper lamp, hesitated for a moment and went back to the house, after the fire was extinguished, there was a soft voice, probably a little scared, hiding in the quilt and whispering.

He got up and slowly leaned against the shadows and moved towards the tree.

When I got closer, I saw a woman in white, with nothing above her neck, and a human head in her hand!

Guo Hong sneered, since he learned Taoism in Hengshan, he has seen all kinds of Taoism, all of which are false and true, and the master also said that he has never seen ghosts in this world, but Taoists eat by exorcising evil spirits, so if you see through it, you don't say it, otherwise you will smash the jobs of your peers.

Before doing the Fa, you have to step on the point, because you are afraid that someone will pretend to be a ghost, so you can get rid of the pretender first, and then the ghost hunt can be fulfilled, otherwise if you finish the Fa, the ghost will come again tomorrow, won't you smash the signboard?

Therefore, when going out to the layman, both monks and Taoists have to learn martial arts, just to fight and catch these people who pretend to be ghosts.

Guo Hong estimated that the impostor should not be tall, hide his head in his clothes, and pretend to be headless.

He looked around and found that there was no one else, so he put his mind at ease, touched it and punched him in the back, the other party fell down without snorting, Guo Hong supported it with his hand, and then dragged it aside.

stripped of the upper body of women's clothing, it could be seen in the moonlight that it was a young man, and the head in his hand was also a dummy.

Guo Hong took him to a secluded place, woke up the man, and asked in a low voice, "Who are you?" ”

The man's eyes rolled, and Guo Hong said again: "You like to pretend to be a ghost so much, why don't you also cut off your head and see if you can carry it away?" ”

"Yes, then...... That certainly can't! The small one is the palace envoy, who was ordered to come here on an errand. The young man's voice was very thin, and it turned out to be a little eunuch.

"Who sent you?"

"Meng Jianjun didn't dare not come when he ordered it, this hero spared his life!" The little eunuch saw that the other party was a man in black, and he was masked, and he should also be a first-class thief, so he started to discuss.

"Meng Jianjun...... But Meng Xiurong? ”

"Yes, yes, it's good that the hero knows the prison army!"

"Why did he let you pretend to be a ghost here?"

The little eunuch didn't want to say anything, but Guo Hong grabbed him by the neck and pinched him, almost out of breath, and hurriedly said: "Spare your life!" I say it all, I say it all! Before the saint escaped from Chang'an, he pretended to be a monk and hid in Dufu, and there were two retinues at that time, and a piece of blue jade and a map in their custody were missing, and one of them was missing. The saint went to Hebei, and the other retinue was also killed in a rebellion. After the saint ascended the throne, let Meng Jianjun slowly search, the little one was also ordered to monitor, and then when he heard the story of the female ghost, he felt a little strange, and felt that this method was good, so he pretended to be a ghost and asked the two children of the Du family to help me find something, and they would not arouse the suspicion of others when they dug everywhere. ”

Guo Hong stared at the little eunuch intently, and said coldly: "What do you think is wrong?" ”

"Liu Sanfu was killed back then, and some green skins nearby were involved in this matter, and they said that a female chivalrous guest pretended to kill Liu Sanfu in order to avenge Ah Pei, and made him look like he committed suicide. After the knight left, Qingpi continued to pretend to be a ghost to scare the people in the mansion, wanting to turn this place into a ghost house that no one dared to enter, and find a way to occupy it in the future. When a few eminent monks came, they subdued them and promised not to make trouble again. But then there were still rumors of haunting, and it was not until the saint left Chang'an that he completely disappeared, so I suspect that the missing person was killed, someone was pretending to be a ghost digging treasure, and this person was the retinue who was killed in Hebei. ”

Guo Hong remembered the corpse that he had fished out of the pool during the day, and had already believed most of it, so he asked:

"How do you know where the treasure is buried?"

"Little guess there is a treasure under this tree, but there is such a large area near the tree, and a lot of places have been dug up, and I don't know if the two boys dug up anything today, I was waiting for them just now."

"The treasure has already been acquired by me, why don't you be named the new headless ghost of Du Mansion?"

"Don't seal it, don't seal it!"

Guo Hongshun took away the props of pretending to be a ghost, knocked the little eunuch unconscious and threw him into the flowers.

The map was in his hand, Lan Yuzhang was at Du Mu's, so there was no need to stay, he was walking out, and a person blocked the way and shouted: "Little thief, where to go!" ”

Guo Hong turned around and flew up the wall, the man couldn't catch up, and shouted: "Remember that a certain family is called Du Yuanzong, and you will look good next time!" ”

Zuo Kui poked his head out and asked, "What are you doing so loudly, the person has already left." ”

Du Yuanzong sneered: "This kind of thief, he doesn't even dare to take a trick from me, and he is cheaper today!" ”

Guo Hong had already come to the main street outside, avoiding the patrolling Jin Wuwei, and returned to his apartment after more than half an hour.

On the second day, Guo Hong went to Du Mansion, Du Mu and Du Yuanzong went to Shangya and were not in the mansion, he returned the map to Cao Shi after doing so, of course, he had already rubbed a copy and put it with him.

Cao Shi said that he heard the ghost crying at night, and then secretly went to look for his aunt under the big tree, and he didn't want to wait for half the night without seeing him......

Liu Yanniang and Xiao Xuanji live in the house lent by Huayangguan to Juzi.

Generally, in May and June, the children will return to their hometowns, so as not to catch up with the Zhongyuan Festival to worship their ancestors, so there are more empty houses.

When Guo Hong arrived, Yun Xuansu happened to enter the door, Guo Hong showed her the map, Yun Xuansu pondered for a moment, and said: "Senior sister can't see what place it is, but there are many mountains on this map, it should be in some wilderness, pay more attention in the future." ”

She took a sip of tea, and when she saw the little mystery playing next to her, she asked Yan Niang: "Senior sister is also old, she should be enlightened to go to school, but what are your plans?" ”

Liu Yanniang said: "Is the cloud refiner going to teach my family to recognize words?" ”

Yun Xuansu shook his head with a smile and said, "Where can I still be used for this enlightened thing, let my junior sister go to a private school, anyway, it won't cost much money." ”

Yan Niang blushed and said, "Yes, yes." ”

She is confused, what is the identity of Yun Xuansu, the elder of the Wangwu faction, how can she have time to teach children to read and write?

Yun Xuansu introduced Xiao Xuanji to study at a private school in Guozhaofang in the south, and girls in the Tang Dynasty could also go to private school.

The south of Chang'an is a place where children live, and many people work part-time as teachers, and the further south you go, the more fierce the competition and cheaper the price is.

In the afternoon, Guo Hong accompanied Yan Niang to take the mystery to the private school, but he didn't expect to meet Li Shangyin.

This soldier of Jingzhao Mansion also took his son Li Gon to worship in Kaimeng.

Li Shangyin lived in the South Garden of Lijia in Guozhaofang, and the owner was his brother-in-law Li Shilang, who was the general of Qianniuwei and the title of Duke of Longxi, and was a descendant of Li Sheng.

Li Sheng (sheng) is the father of Li Yu in Caizhou under the snowy night, who pacified the rebellion of Zhu Zhu (CI), and was named the king of Xiping County, known as Li Xiping.

Li Shangyin married Wang Maoyuan's seventh daughter, and Li Shilang married his second daughter.

Lijia South Park is also the place where Li Shangyin pursued his wife, and wrote a poem "Untitled" for this reason:

“…… Fourteen Tibetans and six relatives, unmarried. Fifteen crying spring breeze, under the swing on the back ......"

Among them, "Fourteen Tibetans and Six Relatives" occurred in the year of "Manna Change", Wang Maoyuan saw that the civil officials of the Manchu Dynasty were killed, so he sent the two young daughters of Wei Ji Lu to the South Garden of his in-laws' house to hide, and Li Shangyin lived in the Linghu Villa next door.

So staged a West Chamber, when Li Shangyin was twenty-four years old, Wang Qiniang (Wang Yanyuan) was fourteen years old, three years later the two got married, and only eight years later gave birth to Li Gongshi.

Li Gon Shi is four years old this year, and he is very close to the five-year-old Xuanji, the two sit next to each other, and after the first class, "My Gon Master" and "My Sister" screamed, Guo Hong looked funny......
