There is a quiet village outside Husu County, because everyone in the village is surnamed He, so it is called Hejiazhuang. The Li in the village is the patriarch of the He clan, because he is old and has a great generation, so the Zhuang people call him He Taiweng. Life is rare for seventy years, and today happens to be He Taiweng's seventieth birthday, and everyone in Manzhuang came to celebrate his birthday, so for a while, Hejiazhuang had a bit of excitement that was not in the past.

After noon, a carriage came from Zhuangkou, and the carriage came to a stop in front of the house of Mrs. Ho's house, and when the coachman tied the horses under the tree in front of the door, two women and a child walked down from the carriage. One of the two women was about fourteen or fifteen years old, delicate and delicate, and the other was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and they were beautiful and refined, that is, the child, although the little face was a little round, but there was no lack of delicate and lovely.

He Taiweng's eldest son, He You, was a middle-aged man who was dressed very well, he recognized the identity of the person at a glance, so he sent the juniors in the family to inform He Taiweng, and he greeted him with a happy face: "Fourth lady, I really didn't expect you to come, it really makes the cold house shine!" ”

When the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl saw He You, she smiled and said, "Uncle He is polite!" Mrs. Ho is my life-saving benefactor, and today he is 70th birthday, how can I not come to congratulate him? ”

He Youhan nodded with a smile, then looked at the other woman and child beside the girl, and said, "Fourth lady, dare to ask who these two are?" ”

"Oh, I forgot to introduce to Uncle He, this sister next to me is surnamed Zhou, she is my friend, this little guy is my fifth brother Cui Ye, you and He Taiweng have seen each other in my home, but the little guy grows up fast, you may not recognize it, today he is here with me to celebrate Mrs. He's birthday!"

"Oh, it turned out to be Zhou Niangzi and Cui Xiaolangjun, He is really rude! Oh, don't stand here, come with me! ”

A few people nodded, and directly followed He You into the house, and several descendants in the village saw the two women entering, and they also followed reluctantly to go inside, but they were all stopped by He Taiweng's second son, He Ping: "Go and go, you descendants, Mo Tang surprised my family's distinguished guests!" ”

An offspring smiled and said: "Second uncle, aren't they just two little ladies and a doll, what kind of distinguished guest are they, you let me wait in and see if I can have a piece of meat?" ”

He Ping said: "What do you know? Those four ladies and those little Langjun are the children of Cui County Order of Husu County, not ordinary people, don't talk nonsense here! ”

"Hey, isn't it the county commander's family, what's the big deal? My cousin is still a Zhongzhou Sima! ”

"What's your cousin's last name?"

"Surname Jiang, what's wrong?"

"Surname Jiang? The surname is Cui, are you comparable! With that, He Ping smiled and directly waved his hand to disperse several juniors.

In a blink of an eye, Cui Yu and Zhou Hongxian entered the house and saw He Taiweng, Zhou Hongxian found that although He Taiweng was seventy years old and had gray hair, his face was extremely ruddy, and he was a healthy person at first glance, and his image couldn't help but remind her of the fox old man Tu Shanke had transformed.

It's just that He Taiweng is not as arrogant and eccentric as the fox old, but a very kind-hearted old man, because of his age, he was originally sitting in the hall to roast the fire, and there were two granddaughters beating his back behind him.

Zhou Hongxian learned from Cui Yu's mouth before that this He Taiweng is the most famous doctor in Husu County, Cui Yu almost died of a serious illness a few years ago, it was He Taiweng who gave her a clever hand to save her from the ghost gate, so there was such a good relationship between the two, so that every year she has to ask someone to bring some gifts to He Taiweng, this year is He Taiweng's seventieth birthday, she decided to visit in person.

At this time, Cui Yu smiled and said: "Mrs. He, I Aye couldn't come because of busy affairs, so I, Sister Zhou and Xiao Wu came to celebrate your birthday, and I hope you will bear with me!" ”

He Taiweng knew that Cui Yu's words were just polite, and Cui Yu's ability to come was probably her own idea, so he smiled: "The fourth lady is serious, a few of you can come to celebrate my birthday, it has made me feel a great honor, if you dare to bother Cui County Order, it will really kill me!" ”

Cui Yu greeted him for a while, and then took out a congratulatory gift, which was a pair of deer antler velvets, which was worth a lot and contained the meaning of blessing, and He Taiweng smiled happily. It is said that Hejiazhuang is more than 30 miles away from Husu County, and the birthday banquet will not start until the evening, and it is unlikely that the overnight return will be impossible, so He Taiweng instructed his family to prepare guest rooms for several people.

However, when allocating guest rooms, several people encountered a little episode, because the He family had many relatives who came from afar to celebrate their birthdays, and there were only two rooms left, so that the Cui family's coachman could still go to squeeze in one night with a grandson of He Taiweng who had not yet started a family, but Cui Yu, Cui Ye, and Zhou Hongxian were a little difficult to deal with.

Cui Yu said disapplausively: "When you go out, it is inevitable that there will be coincidences!" Sister Zhou, why don't we two squeeze tonight? ”

When Zhou Hongxian heard this, he hurriedly said: "No, I love to snore when I sleep at night, and I like to kick the quilt, which will make you sleep badly, or you will be in a room with Xiao Wu!" In fact, Zhou Hongxian is not only afraid that his identity will be recognized, but Cui Yu is a girl after all, not to mention her beauty, her development is not bad, if she sleeps together at night, there will inevitably be some contact between the two. Zhou Hongxian is worried that she will not be able to stand the stimulation for a while and turn into a vicious beast, although her vicious capital has been confiscated by God, but the thoughts in her heart are not allowed, the key is that Cui Yu's age is too young, it is easy for her to think of those middle school girls who went to school with schoolbags in her previous life, which is a big challenge to her moral bottom line.

But Cui Yu said: "No, Sister Zhou, although he is young, he is a man after all, even if I am his sister, I can't sleep with him!" So even if you don't sleep honestly, I will sleep with you! ”

Cui Ye also said seriously: "Sister Zhou, men and women can't kiss, I can't sleep with the fourth sister!" ”

Zhou Hong said in her heart what does it matter to the two of you, but in the end, she couldn't resist the two sisters and brothers, so she had to retreat and ask Cui Yu to share the same bed with her.

In order to wait for the banquet at dusk, the three of them took turns playing chess in the room, and when Zhou Hongxian and Cui Yu played against each other, Zhou Hongxian finally couldn't help asking: "Siniang, I asked you what you do at home last night, why do you tell me that you Aya is a businessman?" ”

Cui Yu was thinking about it, and said casually: "Did I say that last night?" ”

Zhou Hongxian said faintly: "Don't you remember what you said?" I only found out today that you Aya turned out to be the county magistrate of Husu County, why did you lie to me last night? ”

Cui Yu looked up at Zhou Hongxian and said with a smile: "Sister Zhou, it's okay if I say that, aren't you used to living in my house last night?" The reason why I say that is also because I am afraid that you will know that I am the daughter of the county magistrate and dare not go home with me, you must know that the first time I saw you, I liked you very much, I want to know you and be friends with you! ”

"You like me?" Zhou Hongxian couldn't help but be stunned, she couldn't help but look at Cui Yu's eyes, but seeing that her beautiful eyes were as clear as water, she realized that she was wrong, and in a panic, she couldn't help asking: "Siniang, we just met in Pingshui, what do I have to like you?" ”

Cui Yu grinned: "I like my sister's beauty!" I'm born with a natural sense of intimacy with beautiful people, whether male or female, which is likely to inherit my mother's personality, my sister knows, I'm a beautiful man when I was young! ”

Cui Ye also nodded on the side and said: "Well, that's the case, I'm also very much like A-Niang and Fourth Sister, and I also like Sister Zhou very much!" ”

Zhou Hong was speechless for a while, thinking to himself that your family is all about appearance control, so if I still look mediocre like in my previous life, then wouldn't you care about me at all? Thinking of this, she felt a sense of loss in her heart.

Cui Yu keenly captured Zhou Hongxian's emotional changes, and she asked, "Sister Zhou, why are you a little unhappy, do you feel a little sad when you think of being unrelated?" ”

Zhou Hongxian smiled faintly: "No." ”

"Sister, don't force yourself to laugh, do you remember what I told you in the morning? You can live in my house with peace of mind, and when I go back, I will ask my mother to find you a good-looking and dedicated man, and I will ensure that you will live a good life in this life! ”

This sentence couldn't help but provoke Zhou Hongxian's cough, and Cui Ye suddenly said: "Fourth sister, I think Brother Ziping is good, why don't you introduce him to Sister Zhou?" ”

"yes, why didn't I think of that?" Cui Yu's eyes lit up, but then she shook her head again: "No, Brother Ziping has a wife, but his wife has been missing for many years, but he has always refused to marry again, which proves that he has always missed his wife in his heart, which is too unfair to Sister Zhou!" ”

Cui Ye muttered: "Didn't you say you wanted to find someone who was specialized?" ”

Cui Yu patted his head: "You are stupid, I said that I want to be dedicated to Sister Zhou, what is the use of you finding someone who is dedicated to others?" ”

Cui Ye couldn't help lowering his head: "That's right, blame me for not expecting it!" ”

"So you're still too young to even think of that!"

Zhou Hongxian listened to the words of this sister and brother, and his heart was sweating, and he said in his heart, "You two are so young, this is called a precocious person? She thought about it again, she had lived for more than 20 years in her previous life, and she hadn't even talked about a romantic relationship, and she couldn't help but feel embarrassed again, but no matter what, if she wanted her to like a man, she thought she still couldn't accept it.

When the sky was about to be dusk, in a dense wood, a young man was walking through it, his steps were fast, as if he was in a hurry, and he said to himself: "Today's father's seventieth birthday, I have to hurry back, otherwise I will make my father angry, and Aya will scold him in the future!" (Note: In the Tang Dynasty, grandfathers and maternal grandfathers were called grandfathers.) ）

However, as he walked, he suddenly had some urgency to urinate, and there was no one around anyway, so he unbuttoned his pants and untied himself to the grass by the side of the road. The grass was scattered by his urgent urine stream, and suddenly he made a "huh" sound, as if he had found something, so after he finished urinating, he found a branch and gently picked up the grass, but it didn't matter what he saw, but he was shocked when he saw a tombstone in the grass, and the surface of the monument had been wet with a large piece of his urine.

The tombstone is very old, and the name of the owner of the tomb is no longer clear, but the year of the monument on it is mottled and visible: "The Great Wei Taihe was erected in the twenty-first year." ”

The young man had read the history books, and knew that this Taihe was the name of the Northern Wei Emperor Tuoba Hong, and it had been more than a hundred years since then, when suddenly a cold wind blew, he couldn't help but shiver, and hurriedly bowed to the tombstone: "The kid doesn't know that the predecessor's yin house is here, and there is a lot of disrespect, don't blame, don't blame!" After saying that, he was terrified, and after praying, he hurriedly ran away.

At this moment, the sun was about to set, and the woods behind him were silent and very dark, as if they were opening their mouths behind him.
