Chapter 22: Aristocratic Manners
The faces of both women turned white with fright.
"That's it!" Xue Shao walked to the puppet with a smile, picked up a porcelain rice bowl with strange patterns and strange talismans that he couldn't understand, held it high, and roared loudly, "Shangguan Tingzhi, you have suffered from serious sores, why don't you hide in the magic weapon of this seat and wait for your soul to fly away?" ”
"What, you dare to doubt the cultivation of this seat? Okay, let me show you the power of the magic weapon in this seat - I will call you three times, do you dare to agree? ”
The pair of sisters in distress, Yue Nu and Yu Hongye, were stunned, and instantly abandoned their previous suspicions and squeezed together side by side, staring at Xue Shao and the puppet with great nervousness - can the ghost really speak?
"Shangguan Tingzhi!" Xue Shao really shouted.
"Hmm......" There was really someone who agreed, and it was a male voice.
"Speak, speak! Spoken! Yue Nu and Yu Hongye were really frightened at this time, and hurriedly hugged each other and closed their eyes and covered their ears!
Xue Shao shouted three times in a row, and replied three times in a vague voice with a man.
Seeing that the two women were so frightened that they couldn't possess their bodies, Xue Shao felt a kind of evil pleasure in his heart, well, it's okay, the technique of "ventriloquism", which needed to be specially practiced for the task, has not completely fallen behind. Even though I changed my body, I was able to make simple notes!
"Take!!" With a loud shout, Xue Shao patted the porcelain rice bowl that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, "Finish the job!" ”
Moon Nu and Yu Hongye hugged each other tightly and shivered, like a pair of little sparrows that had just been destroyed by a burst of rain and hail.
"Okay, okay?"
Xue Shao held the bowl, chanted "Amitabha" and snapped his fingers, "I have already overtaken him!" ”
"W-That's it?" Yu Hongye was extremely surprised and said, "Xue Gongzi, are you a Taoist method or a Buddhist cultivator?" It's so strange! ”
"Ahem! …… I am a combination of Buddhism and Taoism, invincible in the world! Xue Shao handed the bowl to the moon slave, "Take it and wash it, you can still eat!" ”
"Childe, this is your magic weapon!" The moon slave's hands trembled, and he didn't dare to take the bowl.
Facts have proved that no matter how bold a female man is, she is afraid of ghosts after all.
"Take it!" Xue Shao stuffed the bowl into the hand of the moon slave, "Cultivating to the extent that I am here, flying flowers and picking leaves are all magic weapons, it doesn't matter!" ”
Cold sweat flowed from the neck of the moon slave, and a pair of plain hands trembled, as if they were holding Shangguan Tingzhi's unjust soul in their hands.
"Alright, let's shovel this parasitic wall again!" Xue Shao picked up a shovel and shoveled it against the red wall powder on the wall, which was regarded as refining his physical fitness.
"Childe, why don't you come with me?" Where would Yue Nu let Xue Shao do such a thing.
"I can only come!" Xue Shao said solemnly, "Do you have mana?" ”
“…… No! ”
"Then you clean up your room!" Xue Shao said, "Miss Yu, please go and help me hire some miscellaneous servants, I want to repair and tidy up this house." ”
"Willing to help." Yu Hongye arched his hand, looking at the puppet and the wall with palpitations, "Xue Gongzi, is there really no problem?" ”
"Of course." Xue Shao's face stiffened, "Can't you believe me?" But don't forget, I'm going to be living here in the future! Do I dare to joke with my own life? ”
"Momiji doesn't dare! If you can subdue the evil spirits, of course, it is the best! Yu Hongye breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Xue Shao with strange and adoring, and hugged his fists, "Hongye is going to help Xue Gongzi recruit miscellaneous servants!" ”
"There is labor!"
Yu Hongye is gone.
The moon slave was nervously holding the bowl, not daring to leave an inch. Now she feels that instead of protecting Childe, she needs Childe to protect her. If you are far away from him, what if you have to bump into some evil spirits again?
Xue Shao couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yue Nu like this.
In fact, what is happening today is nothing more than some very simple chemical and physical phenomena. Wouldn't it be said that Xue Shao was a science student in his previous life, and he chose to major in biochemical engineering in college, and later, as a special combat team, he was not good at skills and accurate marksmanship, and he also had to learn a lot of practical application of mathematics, physics and chemistry. Coupled with so many years of traveling from south to north, what kind of charlatan has Xue Shao never seen, and what kind of strange things have he never heard of?
Muppet bleeding is nothing more than a simple chemical reaction, and the role of an "acid-base indicator" that can be learned in middle school textbooks. This is not a special combat soldier's specialty, and even a 21st century middle school student can understand it.
The presence of images on the wall is a relatively special and rare phenomenon of "nature's video camera", but it is not difficult to explain. This wall is painted with red paint containing ferric tetroxide, and the lightning on a thunderstorm night discharges electrical energy down, so that this wall acts as a "videotape", just to "record" the appearance of someone kneeling on the ground and shouting. As for whether the image is Shangguan Tingzhi or not, it is really only a ghost who knows the Dao.
Then, on a thunderstorm night, when electricity fills the air, the image may reappear like a movie.
The probability of this kind of thing happening is not high, the content of ferric oxide, the strength of the electric and magnetic fields, and the humidity of the air must be just right, and the human body itself also has electric and magnetic fields...... All the seemingly impossible coincidences form a special image on this wall, like a haunting!
Xue Shao had heard of such a thing more than once, and it was said that there was a group of palace maids walking on the wall in the Forbidden City, and he had understood the principle, of course, it was not strange. Just shovel the red mud on this wall and repaint it again, destroying the original ferric tetroxide content, and it will definitely be able to eradicate the "haunting"!
The reason why he pretended to scare these two little girls once, Xue Shao wanted to have fun, and secondly, the house was directly discounted by 5%, which was also worth the appearance fee of Lantian Gongzi!
……
Around noon, Yu Hongye led a group of strong handymen and craftsmen to Xue Shao's new home.
Moving has always been a very troublesome thing, repairing the wall yard, tidying up the roof tiles, sprinkling and cleaning, adding objects, many big and small things are very trivial. However, there is no need for Xue Shao to ask about these things in person, Yuenu was already very capable, and now there is Yu Hongye, a shrewd and neat businessman, who tries his best to help, Xue Shao at most occasionally "points fingers" and puts forward some of his own requirements, such as adding archery shoots to the polo field, single-plank bridges and vertical obstacles used to practice physical fitness in the army in the previous life.
Including Yu Hongye, everyone looked at the red wall that had been shoveled into potholes, intentionally or unintentionally.
So Xue Shao simply brought Yu Hongye here, "Miss Yu, it's time for us to talk about the price." ”
Standing in front of this red wall, Yu Hongye certainly knew what Xue Shao meant. She forced a calm smile and said, "Xue Gongzi, don't tell lies in front of real people, Hongye has always been resolute and doesn't like to go around in circles. Admittedly, there are some misfortunes in this house, but you can't deny that this is a wonderful farmhouse, right? ”
"You make a direct offer." Xue Shao is more direct than Yu Hongye.
"One for one."
"How?"
Yu Hongye said: "I want to take this mansion and exchange it with Xue Gongzi's mansion in Lantian." ”
Xue Shao couldn't help but smile, "It seems that you have a plan." ”
"Don't hide it, it's true." Yu Hongye did not hide it, and said bluntly, "As far as I know, Xue Gongzi's mansion in Lantian is not inferior to this mansion in terms of scale and glory. But in terms of value, the selling price of this house is at least more than double. Of course, we have said first, I am willing to sell this house to the son at half price. Although Momiji is a woman, she has always been a promise to do what she says! …… What does Xue Gongzi think? ”
Xue Shao couldn't help laughing. This woman is definitely a master of business. If you compare the market value of the two houses just from the location, area and luxury, the Chang'an mansion in front of you is of course worth the Xue Mansion in Lantian County, and it may be more than that. However, the house has changed hands several times because it is "haunted" and has been greatly depreciated; On the contrary, due to the "celebrity effect", although the Xue Mansion in Lantian is located in a remote area, it is a well-known place near and far, and its potential value is comparable to that of ordinary houses?
One for one, Yu Hongye got rid of a depreciating hot hand in his hand and took over a "former residence of celebrities" with considerable room for appreciation, which is actually a sure deal!
Xue Shao smiled slightly, "Deal." ”
Although Yu Hongye tried her best to pretend to be calm, her face still showed a "micro-expression" of surprise and joy, and she could not escape Xue Shao's poisonous eyes like countless fiery eyes.
"Xue Gongzi, do you want to think about it more?" Yu Hongye didn't even believe her ears, and I was ready for a long bargain. Unexpectedly, he agreed so simply!
"No need." Xue Shao said indifferently, "I'm not a businessman, and it doesn't matter to me whether I make or lose." My goal is simple, to move to Chang'an as soon as possible. If you earn, it is your ability; If you lose, you are incompetent. ”
“…… Xue Gongzi, really good! Yu Hongye couldn't help but be a little impressed by Xue Shao, the Shilu family does not compete with subordinates for profit, this is the demeanor of a famous and noble son! But the hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, but many times you are willing to "suffer" and eat beautifully, then it is really a science!
"Passing the prize." Xue Shao smiled indifferently, "I am not familiar with the relocation of my family, and I have to trouble Miss Yu a lot of things big and small." ”
Yu Hongye couldn't help but look at Xue Shao deeply, it turned out that Lantian Gongzi was not as frivolous as rumored; On the contrary, he gave me a sense of depth and majesty as deep as an ancient well and as quiet as a mountain! …… What a wonderful person!
"Xue Gongzi's housewarming is all wrapped up in Hongye! No matter how big or small, Momiji will try his best to be perfect and satisfy Childe! ”
"Then there's Miss Laoyu." Xue Shao couldn't help but smile with relief, this is what he wants.
Settling down in Chang'an as soon as possible, setting up a roast tail feast, and officially entering the official career, this is what I care about the most now. It is not difficult to set up a banquet, and it is not difficult for a new official to take office, but if you don't even have a decent place to stay in Chang'an, how can you greet those officials when you go out? - Li Xianyuan, a nine-grade petty official, also rented a valuable courtyard for the fat man!
The times are like this, and Xue Shao is not exempt from vulgarity at present. Compared to the top priority, the difference in the price of buying and selling a house is not enough to worry about - in fact, this is already a half-price purchase, what is left?.
[It seems that the red ticket is a bit weak, and it is sad ......]
