Chapter 295: Tofu Shih Tzu
After going around Luoyang for a long time, I read all the houses that Steward Wang said, but they were not as satisfactory as the Zhang family's house.
When I returned to Cuiliu Lane again, it was late, and there were no street lights this year, so I could only see one or two lanterns hanging at the entrance of the alley from a distance, flickering bright and dark, which added a bit of gloomy feeling.
Little Lori was reluctant to come over, so Wang Xiang left Wenshun and Little Lori at the Yuelai Inn, as for Zhang Sanfeng, he couldn't wait to enter the Daxing Gambling House after getting the ten taels of silver given by Wang Xiang to lead the way.
With Steward Wang, Tie Dan, and Li Zhi, whose curiosity trumps everything, the four of them came to the Zhang family's house again.
Steward Hu had just finished eating and hadn't rested, and was a little surprised to see Wang Xiang and them coming back, so he opened the door and invited them into the house.
That night, Wang Xiang, Steward Wang, and Li Zhi stayed in the guest room in the front yard for one night, while Tie Dan slept on the floor in the ancestral hall in the backyard for one night.
Got up early the next morning and nothing happened, Wang Xiang bought the house very simply, and when he bought the house, he knew that the house had been hung in the name of the Luozhou Thorn History, and Steward Hu was helping the Lord Thorn Shi to look at the house, and after the house was sold, he went back to the Thorn Shi Mansion with a silver ticket.
Before leaving, Steward Hu also muttered that the people who came to buy a house before were scared and regretted staying for one night, Wang Xiang smiled, and was even more convinced that the so-called unclean was just someone pretending to be a ghost, the reason why there was no movement last night was because Tie Dan slept in the ancestral hall, Tie Dan is not an ordinary person, who dares to pretend to be a ghost and find out directly.
Not long after Steward Hu left, Xiao Lori and Wu Shun came over, and they were relieved to see that Wang Xiang was fine. Yesterday, when Wang Xiang decided to stay here for one night, they were all worried. After all, what Zhang Sanfeng and Steward Hu said was a little scary.
Wang Xiang smiled and said, "It's okay." Don't you see we're all fine? ”
Li Zhi nodded and said, "Yes, Tie Dan slept in the ancestral hall in the backyard last night, and there was no movement at all." That being said, just by staring at a pair of panda eyes, he knew he must not have slept well last night.
Meek didn't see Steward Hu open his mouth and asked, "What about Steward Hu?" ”
"This house was originally hung under the name of Luozhou Thorn History, I have already bought the house, and Steward Hu went back to the Thorn Shi Mansion to resume his life."
"Ah, brother-in-law, did you really buy this house......" Little Lori seemed to be a little unhappy.
Wang Xiang smiled and quipped: "Usually you are quite bold." Why are you so scared now just hearing a little rumor. ”
Little Lori's face turned red: "I'm a girl, besides, this is not a rumor, yesterday when we went back to Yuelai Inn, we heard from others, they all said that the Zhang family house is evil, and the people who wanted to buy the house before were scared away." ”
"I'm afraid that someone doesn't want the house to be sold, so they pretend to be ghosts, isn't it okay for Tie Dan to stay in the ancestral hall last night, okay, don't worry." After Wang Xiang comforted the little Lori, he instructed Steward Wang: "You go to the Yuelai Inn and let people drive our carriage over, and then buy some daily necessities, this house was previously only lived by Steward Hu." Nothing. ”
"Don't worry, young master, I'll do it."
"Oops!"
Several people were talking in the front yard. Suddenly, I heard a surprised cry from the door, and I turned my head to look, and there was a woman with a beautiful face standing at the door, who looked only a little bigger than Little Lori, with big and bright eyes. The woman was dressed plainly, with a white apron around her waist, a light blue headscarf tied around her head, and her hair wrapped in it, revealing only a smooth forehead.
The woman was still carrying a bamboo basket in her hand, and when she saw everyone looking at her, she suddenly said nervously: "I...... I'm here to find Grandpa Hu. ”
Grandpa Hu? It should have come to find Steward Hu, Wang Xiang smiled and said, "Steward Hu is gone." ”
"Gone?" The woman was visibly stunned.
"Yes, this house has been bought by us, and Steward Hu has gone back to the Assassin Mansion."
After listening to Xiao Loli's words, a trace of loss flashed on the woman's face, and Wang Xiang opened her mouth and asked, "Do you have anything to do with Steward Hu?" ”
"I didn't ...... No. The woman lifted the bamboo basket in her hand and said, "I'm here to deliver tofu to Grandpa Hu, he used to buy two pieces of tofu every day to eat." Grandpa Hu is not here, so I ...... I'm leaving. With that, he turned and ran.
After a while, when Wang Xiang was about to go out, he saw the woman pushing a small wooden cart out of a house in the innermost part of Cuiliu Lane, and immediately asked, "You live here?" ”
The woman was locking the door with her back to Wang Xiang, and was startled when she heard the voice, and when she turned around and saw that it was Wang Xiang, she breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a red face, looking still a little restrained.
Wang Xiang looked at her small wooden cart, which was neatly stacked with three layers of white and tender tofu, and said with a smile: "Do you know how to make tofu?" ”
The woman continued to nod, and Wang Xiang saw that she didn't like to talk very much, so he smiled and said, "We will be neighbors in the future, but we have to take care of each other." ”
The woman replied indiscriminately, lowered her head and pushed the small wooden cart and hurriedly ran past Wang Xiang, Wang Xiang was suddenly depressed: What are you running, do I look like a bad person?
Glancing at the innermost house in Cuiliu Lane, Wang Xiang had some doubts in his heart, seeing that the house didn't seem to look like an ordinary person's house, why did that woman still make tofu and sell it?
Walking to the entrance of Cuiliu Lane, the woman's small wooden car stopped at the door of the gourd teahouse, the business seemed to be very good, many people gathered there to buy tofu, Wang Xiang shook his head and was about to leave.
"Tofu Shih Tzu, have you thought about it, as long as you follow this son, you won't have to work so hard to sell tofu."
The content of this speech, as well as the tone of the speech, how can it sound like those villains on TV, Tofu Shih Tzu...... This name is quite good, Wang Xiang turned his head with interest.
As soon as the voice sounded, the people who were buying tofu around the small wooden cart all dispersed, leaving only an arrogant gentleman standing in front of the wooden cart, staring at the woman with a pair of colorful eyes, and his hand was still groping the tofu in front of him.
"It's so slippery, it's still smart."
The woman shook her lips in shame, and the people around her were also gloomy, but they didn't dare to step forward because of their identity.
"Gongzi Qin is here, we have a new batch of good tea in the teahouse, Gongzi Qin ......"
"Old man Cao, you dare to take care of my son's affairs, I don't think your gourd teahouse wants to be opened!"
The owner of the teahouse shuddered when he heard this, and looked at the woman sympathetically and didn't dare to say more.
"Qin Shaoxian, you are not afraid of Hu ...... Grandpa Hu! The woman saw that the gentleman was getting closer and closer to herself, and suddenly shouted fiercely.
The gentleman snorted lightly: "Isn't that old thing just a housekeeper in the Assassin's Mansion, and this son will be afraid of him?" Hahaha! ”
Everyone listened to the words of the gentleman and despised it in their hearts, if Steward Hu was here, he would not dare to say so, it was precisely because of Steward Hu's care that Qin Shaoxian had not succeeded.
"Don't think I don't know, that old thing has already gone back to the Assassin's Mansion, if you don't agree to my son's request, I want to see who dares to buy your tofu!"
The woman panicked when she heard this: he really knew about Grandpa Hu's departure.
Just when Qin Shaoxian was arrogant and the woman was at a loss, a voice sounded faintly.
"Bring me two pieces of tofu."
