Chapter Ninety-Four: Mr. Feng Shui
On the same day, Xu Liang returned to the Xu Mansion on Dongmen Street, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw four women dressed as maids standing in the courtyard.
The four little maids saw Xu Liang and gave a gift: "The maids have seen the master!" ”
"Ah...... Okay, uh, no courtesy, no courtesy......" Xu Liang was surprised, went into the backyard to find Feng Suqin, and said in surprise: "When did we add a new girl ring to our house?" I don't know. ”
Feng Suqin, dressed in a white robe, was lying on the edge of the table to read the account book, when she heard the words, she raised her head, covered her face with her hands, and chuckled: "What, Brother Xu, you don't know?" ”
"How would I know?" Xu Liang is even more strange.
Feng Suqin stopped laughing and said, "These people were sent to our house by Lord Chenglu of Jianchang County half an hour ago," he said and handed over a few contracts from the table, "Well, this is the deed of sale of these four people, and the buyer on it is written in the name of your Lord Xu." ”
Xu Liang took a look, and then he realized that these four people were originally the envoys he gave to Lu Chengyuan, but they were mercilessly retreated by this old boy, and he hated and admired this Lu County for a while.
"Brother Xu, what should these four people do, the people in the courtyard don't dare to make up their minds, and they don't dare to let people into the backyard, just wait for you, the head of the house, to come back and decide." Feng Suqin chuckled as she spoke.
Xu Liang recalled the appearance of the four people, looked at Feng Suqin, and said, "I think these four little girls are also pitiful, it's better to ......."
"Hmm." Feng Suqin said: "The four of them are not only pitiful, but also cute, why don't you accept it as Lord Xu, it just so happens that there are a few bed warmers in the house, right?" ”
"Aha......" Xu Liang became embarrassed, "I didn't pay attention to this, uh, Suqin also thinks they are cute?" Then keep it, you have to pay for it after all. ”
Feng Suqin glanced at Xu Liang and walked out.
"Hey, Suqin, where are you going?" Xu Liang said urgently.
Feng Suqin sighed, and said in a complaining tone: "Where can I go as a weak woman, didn't Master Xu speak just now, I have to go out and explain to the four little hooves, and tell them that they can stay in the Xu Mansion, lest they be frightened and ruin the level of the bed warmer, otherwise, Master Xu should be distressed again......
Xu Liang secretly said that it was broken. hurriedly stepped forward a few steps, hugged the beauty from behind, and said: "What a warm bed, clean nonsense, this master has Suqin alone!" ”
Feng Suqin struggled, slapped Xu Liang's tightly wrapped arms, and said, "There are people watching outside, you let go......"
"I don't!" Xu Liang was very domineering, twisted the beauty, and kissed the seductive little mouth.
Woo...... Well! Feng Suqin was about to break free, but her whole body seemed to soften, and she fell into Xu Liang's arms as softly as a bone.
The night is short.
Early the next morning, when Xu Liang was still lying on the warm bed, two green-clothed maids came in with a washbasin, came to the bed and said in a voice like a nightingale: "Master, the maid waits for the master to get up." ”
Xu Liang was so shocked that he turned over, stared at his confused eyes and asked, "Who let you in?" Uh, what about Miss Feng? ”
A green-clothed maid bowed and said, "Back to the master, it was Miss Feng who ordered the servants to come and wait for the master, and Miss Feng went out earlier." ”
Xu Liang listened, put his mind at ease, looked at the two green-clothed Yahuan again, and vaguely remembered that they were two of the four he had seen in the front yard yesterday, but when he saw the two of them with black hair hanging down their shoulders, light moth eyebrows, melon seed faces, well-proportioned figures, and pleasing appearances, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: Such a high-end waiting Yahuan, how could this Lu Chengyuan bear to refuse!
Xu Liang finished washing, used the exquisite breakfast, and went to the county office lightly, a team of newly arrived personal guards guarded all the way into the county office, Xu Liang just came out of the sedan chair, and saw a middle-aged official standing in the aisle waiting.
"Lord Yicheng, it's early." Xu Liang nodded.
"Lord Xu is early!" Yi Cheng arched his hand. He glanced left and right, leaned into Xu Liang's ear and whispered: "Lord Xu, early this morning, Lord Lu sent a seal to the capital to expedite the chapter. Yesterday, Lord Wang also submitted one, plus your own copy, within two days, our Jianchang County will submit three letters one after another! ”
Xu Liang chuckled in his heart and asked anxiously, "Do you know what is written on Lord Lu's recital?" ”
Yi Cheng rubbed his hands and shook his head: "Lord Xu said that he laughed, and he would have to lose his head if he dismantled it privately." ”
"That's right, thank you." Xu Liang thought about it, so he thanked him.
"Where, Lord Xu treats the subordinate officials well, and the subordinate officials should do this."
After entering the second hall, Xu Liang sat in his place, and soon Wang Zhixian arrived, Xu Liang paid attention, Wang Zhixian's demeanor was the same as usual, talking and laughing.
Lu Xiancheng and Jiang Dianshi also arrived soon. Jiang Dianshi was okay, he nodded slightly at Xu Liang, and as for Lu Xiancheng, he had a cold taste towards Xu Liang.
Wang Zhixian coughed lightly and said: "Summoned the big guy today, just one thing, there is a message from above, three days later, Jiangxi Governor Yang Bangxian and Zuo Zhengzheng Huang Weizhong will come to Jianchang in person to select the construction site for the Wei Gongsheng Ancestral Hall. Let's go back today and deal with the matter at hand, and tomorrow we will go up to Yunshan together, and choose a few alternate locations first. ”
Wang Zhixian looked at Xu Liang and said, "Lord Xu, this matter was originally arranged for you to do, but something happened to you a few days ago, and I have to bother you to go again today, so be sure to choose a few places to come out." ”
"Yes." Xu Liang nodded.
"Okay, so be it." Wang Zhixian saw that Xu Liang happily agreed, so he got up and prepared to dismiss the meeting.
At this time, Lu Xiancheng spoke, his tone was neither high nor low, but the words were very clear and decisive: "Qiyu County Zun, right now the county yali is busy counting the items of the Tan family's house, and it won't be over for a while. After speaking, Lu Xiancheng looked straight at Wang Zhixian.
Wang Zhixian was choked, coughed several times, looked at Lu Xiancheng with deep meaning, and nodded slowly: "Since Lord Lu is busy with official business, forget it." ”
Seeing this, Jiang Zhu Nanjiang Dianshi glanced at Lu Xiancheng, his lips twitched a few times, and finally he also said loudly: "County Zun, the lower official is here ......."
Wang Zhixian immediately lowered his face, stared at Jiang Dianshi coldly, and said calmly: "Why, Jiang Dianshi has something important at hand that he can't leave?!" ”
"Ah, it's not ......" Jiang Dianshi saw that Wang Zhixian looked like he was going to eat people, panicked, stammered and waved his hand again and again: "Xiaguan wants to say, how important it is to choose the location of the ancestral hall, just rely on a few laymen of us to see whether the place is good or bad, Xiaguan, Xiaguan wants to say that it is best to bring a few feng shui gentlemen with you when Ming'er goes up the mountain." ”
"Hmm...... Reasonable. Wang Zhixian nodded unexpectedly, turned to Xu Liang, and ordered: "Lord Xu, this matter will be handed over to you." ”
"Yes, don't worry, sir." Xu Liang said.
When Xu Liang left the second hall, he found someone to call Yan Qi, the head catcher, and instructed him to find two famous local feng shui gentlemen, so that he could go to Yunshan to see the place with him.
Yan Qi responded, walked a few steps and turned back, leaned in front of Xu Liang and asked in a low voice, "My lord, do you really want to build a shrine for that Wei eunuch?" ”
Xu Liang said helplessly: "It's not that the official wants to build, it's the official who is forced from above." ”
Yan Qi said: "My lord, to tell you a word from my heart, the subordinates of Yunshan have also been to this place several times, if you talk about the feng shui of the lot, there is no place comparable to the place of Zhenru Temple, let's go to Mr. Feng Shui, ten * will take a fancy to that place." ”
Speaking of this, Yan Qi said worriedly: "My lord, at that time, will we really have to demolish a thousand-year-old temple and build an ancestral hall for the dead eunuch?" If we do that, my lord, we will offend many more people! ”
Xu Liang was stunned for a long time, his heart turned back and forth, and he had no idea for a while. When he raised his eyes and saw Yan Qi staring directly at him, he couldn't help but stomp his feet with hatred, gritted his teeth and shouted: "Grandma, Chang Hui's old monk is a good person, we can't pit that old monk." In this way, after you find someone, don't take them to the county government first, find a secluded place, and the official will explain to them personally. ”
"Yes." Yan Qi also breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Then, where is the appropriate arrangement?" ”
Xu Liang rolled his eyes, glared at Yan Qi angrily and scolded: "How do I know this!" I said Yan Zhutou, you spend far more time walking the streets and alleys than me, you can't think of a safe place? ”
Yan Qi thought for a while, his eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "My lord, there is a City God Temple in the west of Jianchang City that has been abandoned for many years. ”
"Well, that's it. You go ahead and do it. Xu Liang said.
Jianchang's feng shui warlocks, fortune tellers have a lot of immortals, but there are only two or three who are really famous, Yan Qi found two, one surnamed Lin and the other surnamed Qin, both of whom are a little old, dressed like fairies, with fluttering eyebrows and beards, and look profound.
Xu Liang's guards had already surrounded the City God Temple, and the two feng shui gentlemen in the temple trembled and accompanied Jianchang to catch the head Yan Qi and wait for Xu Liang to enter the temple.
Xu Liang came in, looked at the dilapidated temple, it was indeed dilapidated, the roof tiles of the temple were incomplete, the cobwebs in the temple were horizontal, and the dust on the ground was strict, and he stepped on it and kicked up a layer of soil.
At this moment, the two feng shui gentlemen all had a little fairy wind bone, and bowed their bodies to Xu Liang at a regular distance.
Xu Liang looked at the two of them and said, "What did the official invite you to do, I guess Yan Zhutou told you, right?" ”
"Said it, said it." The two Feng Shui gentlemen said in unison.
"Well," Xu Liang said, "Then you will have to choose carefully for this official when you get to the realm." ”
"Yes......"
"Uh, my lord," the feng shui gentleman surnamed Qin hesitated for a while, and said cautiously: "If you want to talk about the feng shui of Yunshan, the small ones have gone no less than forty or fifty times, and you can tell which mountain is good with your eyes closed, and which mountain is good. ”
"Hmm." Xu Liang nodded and glanced at Mr. Qin with an approving expression.
"Well, the little one is also very familiar with Yunshan," at this time, another Mr. Feng Shui surnamed Lin was not to be outdone, and said: "It goes without saying that the location of Zhenru Temple is the best, if you say the second best place, it must be the Valley of Hundred Flowers." ”
"Yes, Mr. Lin is right." Mr. Qin also nodded in response.
Xu Liang and Yan Qi glanced at each other, and the secret path was sure enough.
Xu Liang nodded, his face changed, and he said: "Okay, the two of them really deserve to be feng shui masters, and even those of us feel good about the places they said." Now, this official tells you what you are going to do. ”
"Your Excellency, please speak." The two gentlemen said.
"Listen," Xu Liang's expression looked a little fierce, and he said viciously: "This official wants you to find a way to tell me all the good places on Yunshan that are inappropriate, how can you say it unlucky, understand?" ”
"Huh? This ......" Mr. Liang Feng Shui exclaimed, Mr. Lin said in embarrassment: "Lord Xu, this is not easy to do, this Feng Shui is said, understand more than the two of us, if we talk nonsense, others can easily see it." ”
"I don't care about this!" Xu Liang said, "The way is always what people think, you listen, if this thing is done, the official will reward each person with a thousand taels of silver, mess up, hum, you are all people with families and rooms!" ”
"Ah...... Spare your life. When the two gentlemen heard this, they were so frightened that they begged for mercy again and again.
"Humph! How to choose, you can see what to do. ”
The two feng shui gentlemen had a bitter face and begged for mercy.
Yan Qi couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "How can there be such trouble, feng shui and feng shui are originally mysterious and mysterious." When you say that there are two specious defects, will anyone else say that yours is not? ”
It was another coercion, temptation and intimidation, and the two poor feng shui gentlemen agreed with a bitter face. Xu Liang and Yan Qi left the Chenghuang Temple first, and the two Feng Shui gentlemen discussed it alone in the temple, and only after feeling that it was okay for them to leave, the two of them were ready to leave.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a solitary cry in the haystack behind him, and the two feng shui gentlemen looked back in fear, and instantly put their minds at ease, only to see an unkempt and dirty head exposed in the dirty and messy haystack, looking outside with blank eyes, as if he had been woken up in a deep sleep.
"It turned out to be a beggar, which is really unlucky." The two feng shui gentlemen took a sip and walked away side by side.
