The weather in June in Beijing is very hot, after several days of no rain, the temperature is as high as a flowing fire, when it is nearly noon, under the sun exposure, the whole Chang'an City seems to fall into a big steamer, that is, even the air has appeared watery ripples, in the past, the crowded streets have also seen a lot of thinning, even with the sound of the guys selling in the shops along the street are a little weak, but the well-known Tianxianglou is not in this list, it is still busy, the guests are full, and the business is very hot, In the midst of this group of noise, a luxury four-wheeled carriage rushed over from the corner of the street at high speed, startling the pedestrians along the way to dodge in all directions, arousing countless scoldings, but the carriage ignored it at all, and moved towards Tianxianglou at high speed, which can be described as extremely domineering.

The carriage galloped all the way to the front of Tianxianglou, the speed was still amazingly fast, but seeing the coachman on the carriage shouted softly, both hands pulled the wheels of the horses, but listened to the long neighing of the horses, the hoof man stood up, the galloping carriage actually stopped steadily, and the extremely clever driving skills immediately provoked the surrounding crowd to cheer, and suddenly, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a burly, bearded man leaned down from the carriage slowly, shaking his wide sleeves, A look of pride. Chang'an is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, there are many gentlemen, however, there are not many people who dare to run so rampantly on the street, it is obvious that the big man in front of him is one of them, this person is Zhang Mingxi, the eldest son of Zhang Liang, the squire of the military department.

"Yo, Master Zhang, you're here, the little ones are greeting you old, quick, are you old inside, or are you the old rules?" The guys in front of Tianxianglou recognized the carriage of the person who came early in the morning, and when they saw Zhang Mingxi get off the carriage, they rushed forward in a swarm, bowed down, and flattered themselves with a servile face - Zhang Mingxi is a well-known overlord in Beijing, relying on the relationship between his father and the king of Wei, he has not done some fart/eye work on the ground of Jingshi, even if he comes to this Tianxianglou, he has eaten and drunk a lot for nothing, not only that, but also occupied a box for a long time, just because of the support of King Wei, Tianxiang upstairs up and down helplessly, at this time seeing this master come again, the big guy is dissatisfied in his heart, and he has to hurry forward to stammer, otherwise, eating a meal is quite light, and even the guy who eats has to lose it.

Zhang Mingxi is just a gentleman, who knows that behind the smiles of the little two is full of disdain and laughter, when he saw that everyone was about to come up and scold himself, his mood was suddenly very refreshing, he grinned, laughed and said: "Zhang Ye has someone to treat today, and he is in a good mood. ”

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

"Master Zhang, please come in."

"The little ones thank Master Zhang for rewarding."

……

Zhang Mingxi said that he had a reward every time, but he had never seen this lord take out money, that is, he was talking nonsense, and the little two had already known it to themselves, and they had already scolded in their stomachs, but no one dared to compare with this earth leopard, that is, they agreed to it, and welcomed Zhang Mingxi into the building like the stars holding the moon.

There are two people sitting in the box on the third floor of Tianxiang Building, one of them is a small hat in a green coat, with a sad face, a pair of eyes from time to time looking at the closed door of the box, in addition to anxiety in his eyes, more is panic, this person is the former Ministry of Rites Langzhong Wang Taizhong. Since the previous fight because of the Xiangzhou military rations case implicated in the loss of the black gauze hat, Wang Taizhong in the Beijing division to worship the dock, looking for a relationship, trying to make a comeback, but he has never been able to do so, poor he is in his early thirties, at this time he is already old and more than forty years old, a face that was originally still delicate is full of sorrowful lines, sideburns have even been slightly white, the body is much thinner than in the past, sitting opposite an old Taoist priest with crane hair and a childish face, he actually looks a little older than the old Taoist priest.

The two open box doors suddenly "creaked", the left and right were separated, and Zhang Mingxi, who was tall and tall, appeared at the door of the box laughing under the welcome of a group of juniors. ”

"Hahaha......" Zhang Mingxi let out a strange laugh that was really unpleasant, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Taizhong's shoulder, regardless of Wang Taizhong's almost falling down because of this, he walked to the box by himself, and said with a smile as he walked: "Isn't this here, where is the immortal that Brother Wang said?" ”

Wang Taizhong is a literati, his body and bones are not very strong, and he has been working hard between wealthy families these days, and he has long been empty at this time, he was slapped by Zhang Mingxi like this, his feet were straight and soft, and no one was annoyed in his heart to Zhang Mingxi's eyes, but this time was the time to ask for someone, and he could only hold his own breath, seeing Zhang Mingxi walking into the box with a big grin, he hurriedly followed, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhang, come, little brother will introduce to you, this is a living immortal Zixiao real person who has traveled to Beijing, Brother Zhang, I'm afraid you don't know, real people are good at judging life and death, but there is nothing to say, not comparable to idle people, a few days ago when I just arrived in Beijing, I pushed my life to Lin Langzhong of the Criminal Department, hehe, said that there will be a small misfortune recently, Lao Lin still doesn't believe it, what is the result? Look, I've been panting in bed for the past few days, right? ”

Don't look at Zhang Mingxi is a bully among the bullies, always looking very draggy, but in his heart he has a virtue with his Lao Tzu Zhang Liang, that is, he extremely believes in ghosts, gods and witchcraft and the like, and worships the likes of the other people, at this time, as soon as he heard that the old Taoist priest in front of him is a powerful person, he put away the original arrogance, bowed down and said: "I don't know that Zixiao is really here, I am rude, panic, panic." ”

Zixiao Zhenren got up with a smile, waved his left hand to whisk the dust, and said with his right hand: "Nothing, those who don't know are not guilty, don't ......" Zixiao Zhenren said this, stopped suddenly, and looked at Zhang Mingxi's face carefully, his long eyebrows trembled, and his face was suspicious. ”

"Hmm." Zixiao Zhenren nodded solemnly, then shook his head again, but did not say anything.

"Ah......" Seeing Zixiao's real appearance, Zhang Mingxi's burly body couldn't help but tremble, and he bowed in a panic and said: "The real person is above, what's wrong with so-and-so, please advise, so-and-so please." ”

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say, how can the heavens be leaked." Faced with Zhang Mingxi's begging, Zixiao Zhenren just shook his head and sighed, which clearly implied that Zhang Mingxi's problem was serious.

"Real person, for the sake of a certain person, I will break down one or two for Brother Zhang." Seeing that Zixiao Zhenren refused to speak, Wang Taizhong, who was standing on the side, hurriedly spoke and persuaded him.

"Yes, real people, I am ignorant and ignorant, and I ask real people for guidance, but if you ask for something, you will be ordered." Zhang Mingxi was frightened by Zixiao's real appearance, and when he saw Wang Taizhong's words, he hurriedly pleaded.

"Okay, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, Nian Er's sincerity, and he is a friend of the king benefactor, and the mountain people will make an exception, hey, vainly leak the heavenly secrets, the mountain people are afraid that they will lose their lives for several years!" Zixiao Zhenren smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed, but he didn't say what bad luck would happen to Zhang Mingxi.

Although Zhang Mingxi is a big man, he is not a nerd, at this time, seeing Zixiao Zhenren say this, he hurriedly said: "Real people can rest assured, only real people can say one or two for a certain point, and a certain is willing to give a hundred times as a thank you gift, ah, it is the comeback of Brother Wang, and a certain is also guaranteed, and the father of the family comes forward to plan, and there is no doubt about the righteousness." ”

Seeing Zhang Mingxi so knowledgeable, Zixiao Zhenren smiled and said: "Zhang Shizhu is a heroic person, the mountain people have heard of it for a long time, this time it is related to the mountain people, the things that should be done, the mountain people do not shirk, the money is blocked, the mountain people do not need such mundane things, but the matter of the Wang donor still needs Zhang Shizhu to be concerned about it." ”

"That is, that is, so-and-so and Brother Wang are world friends, and his business is so-and-so, and so-and-so should be responsible for this matter to the end, and it will be clear in half a month." As soon as Zhang Mingxi heard that the old Taoist priest didn't want money, he was happy to save it, and it was very easy to reinstate Wang Taizhong, just a little Langzhong, as long as his father spoke loudly, it was not like a joke to stuff a person into the military department, so he could clap his chest vigorously.

"Thank you Brother Zhang, little brother, little brother ......" Wang Taizhong has been trying to reinstate for a long time, but there is no way, and when he heard that Zhang Mingxi was willing to help, he was so excited that he couldn't say anything.

"It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it." Zhang Mingxi waved his hand at Wang Taizhong casually, which was considered to have dealt with the past, and then no matter what Wang Taizhong said, he stared at Zixiao Zhenren: "Real person, you see ......"

"Hmm." Zixiao Zhenren nodded with satisfaction, looked at Zhang Mingxi and said, "Master Zhang and sit down, the mountain people will talk to you carefully." ”

"Thank you, real person." As soon as he heard Zixiao Zhenren say it, Zhang Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly came to Zixiao Zhenren's side, sat down, and looked at Zixiao Zhenren reverently.

Zixiao Zhenren's face was solemn, and he said: "Zhang Shizhu's seal hall is full, his nose is wide and his eyes are bright, it should be a very expensive life, but unfortunately there are defects in his life, so that he can't go further, moreover, there is a dark line between Zhang Shizhu's eyebrows, ordinary people can't see it, but they can't hide it from the eyes of the mountain people, this dark line is incomprehensible, Zhang Shizhu will have a bloody disaster, well, according to the mountain people, I am afraid that the origin of this dark pattern is not caused by Zhang Shizhu himself, but from Er's father, but it should be on Zhang Shizhu's head, Dare to ask if the yin house built by my father is about to be capped? ”

"That's true, isn't the time?" As soon as Zhang Mingxi heard the old Taoist priest talk about his father Zhang Liang's Yin Mansion, he panicked a little, and hurriedly interrupted Zixiao Zhenren's words.

Zixiao Zhenren shook his head and said: "It's not that the time is wrong, but the luck is wrong, dare to ask if the Yin Mansion is where the three mountains and two rivers are located?" ”

"Yes, the Yin Mansion built by my father is in Lantian, and it was built under the guidance of two old immortals, Fang Gezi and Ai Quanming, the land immortals, and it is said that this is the ...... Ah, it's ......" Zhang Mingxi said this, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, and he couldn't go on.

Zixiao Zhenren laughed, didn't delve into it, just dipped the tea with the dust handle, wrote the word "dragon" on the table, and then looked at Zhang Mingxi with a smile.

"That's right, that's what the two old immortals Fang and Ai said, real people and real immortals!" Zhang Mingxi looked down at the words on the table and couldn't help but scream.

"Yes, the mountain people look at the complexion of Zhang Shizhu, the construction of this yin house should be Zhang Shizhu's specialty, Shanren is right?" Zixiao Zhenren smiled mysteriously.

Zhang Mingxi, as Zhang Liang's eldest son, although he is not good, but he is not useless, he has indeed experienced it in person for helping his father build a yin house, and at this time, he heard Zixiao Zhenren point out this matter, and hurriedly nodded and said: "This matter is true, I dare not worry about my father." ”

"Hmm." Zixiao Zhenren nodded approvingly, but then shook his head and said, "That's right, dare to ask if there were originally three tree columns in this Yin Mansion land, and each of them had a bird's nest?" ”

"Yes, that's true, the real person is clever, and I admire it to the fullest!" When Zhang Mingxi heard that the old Taoist priest said it so accurately, he was very excited, slapped his thigh, and praised loudly.

"This dragon and phoenix are auspicious signs, but it is a pity that there is one more nest, so that the yin and yang are different, and things are tricky." Zixiao Zhenren sighed, shook the dust, and said in a sad tone.

What do you mean by that? Real person, you have to help someone solve the misfortune. Zhang Mingxi had already been fooled by Zixiao Zhenren to the point that he didn't know the world, and when he heard that there was trouble in the Yin Mansion, his mind was completely confused, and he pleaded with a pale face.

Zixiao Zhenren sighed and said: "Yin and Yang are out of tune, so that Yin flourishes and Yang declines, and a nest of phoenixes turns into dark lines, blocking the great nobility that Zhang Shizhu should enjoy, sigh, sigh." ”

"Ah......" Zhang Mingxi believes most in the set of gods and ghosts, when he heard the old Taoist priest say so seriously, how could he still sit still, he got up in a hurry, covered his sleeves, bowed to the ground, kowtowed and said: "Real people save so, real people save so." ”

Seeing Zhang Mingxi kneeling on the ground, Zixiao Zhenren hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him and said: "Don't be like this, it's not that the mountain people are unwilling to contribute, it's really a hindrance to this matter. ”

"The old fairy rest assured, my father is the most important in his life, if the old fairy does not give up, a father and son feel the same virtue, and I implore the old fairy to go to the house with a certain time? If something is done, a father and son should be grateful and not regretted. Hearing that Zixiao Zhenren was willing to help, Zhang Mingxi hurriedly persuaded him.

"This ......" Zixiao Zhenren hesitated for a moment, his face showed a look of difficulty, but his eyes looked at Wang Taizhong who was standing aside.

"Old fairy, Brother Zhang, father and son both believe in people, you are always capable, please help help, I feel the same way." Wang Taizhong swept over when he saw Zixiao Zhenren's eyes, and hurriedly echoed Zhang Mingxi's words.

"Hmm." Zixiao Zhenren nodded, but he didn't say that he was going to the Dragon Invincible Book House or not, so anxious that Zhang Mingxi scratched his head, and said anxiously: "Old fairy, what Brother Wang said is correct, you will raise your noble hand and help a certain person, Brother Wang happens to be there, so I just did the two things together, and when I can see my father, Brother Wang's matter will immediately have a letter, please be old." ”

Seeing this, Zixiao Zhenren shook his head with a wry smile, and said resolutely with a resolute face: "That's it, that's it, the mountain people have been fighting for several years, and it can be regarded as a good fate with Zhang Shizhu." ”

"Great, quick, go, let's go, I'll wait for this to go, old fairy, please move, a certain carriage is downstairs, this wine feast and go to a certain house to use it again, you will never lose the old fairy, you please." As soon as he heard that Zixiao Zhenren had agreed to his request, Zhang Mingxi was so excited that he couldn't help himself, jumped up, and shouted incoherently, and wanted to ask Zixiao Zhenren to go downstairs.

Zixiao Zhenren nodded reservedly, but he didn't embarrass Zhang Mingxi anymore, got up with a smile, bowed to the dust, accompanied by Zhang and Wang, left and right, and went downstairs and got into Zhang Mingxi's luxury carriage, and Zhang Mingxi didn't dare to share the car with Zixiao Zhenren, so he got into Wang Taizhong's car, and the two carriages rushed along South Street to Zhang's mansion outside the city one after the other......

Most of the manors of Chang'an wealthy families are located in the area of Xiamaling, Zhang Liang's mansion is no exception, and Cheng Biting Jin's Zhuangzi is only one way away, these two old neighbors are officials in the same dynasty, and they are all characters from Wagangzhai, but they are not all the way, on the contrary, the old grudges between the two are not small, although there has been no big fight, but the friction in private is not old and young, the most interesting thing is that the two brothers play vindictive, today you set up a door number, tomorrow I will set up a more magnificent, tossing and turning, the manor of the two is built extremely luxurious, It can even be said to be extravagant, not to mention anything else, just a pavilion carved of jade in their respective back gardens is sensational enough, not to mention those flowers and grasses, all of which are precious goods, of course, that is, these two brothers have money in their hands, they can compare flowers, they have been poor and rich since ancient times, these two brothers are old military leaders, and it is not strange to spend money so blindly.

These days, the weather is really too hot Long Invincible Library, even if the ice basin is placed in the house, the town can't go down, it is not as good as lying in the jade pavilion near the water, today coincides with the middle of the holiday, there is no need for the director of the court, Zhang Liang was woken up by the heat early in the morning, he thought the house was stuffy, so he ran to the jade pavilion in the back garden to lie down, even if he didn't bother to get out of the pavilion for lunch, he just half lay on the jade rocking chair and swayed, from time to time with silver to carry a few mouthfuls of food, or pick up the wine jug to the mouth to take a few small sips, was like a fairy, and he was refreshed, but he saw Zhang Mingxi rushing in from outside the pavilion coldly, and he was still shouting: "Hurry, go and meet the old fairy." ”

Zhang Liang, who was caught off guard, didn't swallow a sip of wine, and was choked on the spot, and immediately saw the wine and saliva flying together, coughing and wheezing and roaring together, and finally calmed down, Zhang Liang was so angry that his eyes were red, and he stared at Zhang Mingxi and scolded: "Bastard, you are in a hurry to reincarnate, look at Lao Tzu to kill you with a knife......"

Although Zhang Mingxi is a domineering person, he is most afraid of his own Lao Tzu, when he saw Zhang Liang scolding, he was so frightened that his body trembled, but when he thought that the old fairy came to the mansion to change his life, he couldn't care about his old man's roar, and hurriedly said: "Father is angry, the child is ...... today" Zhang Mingxi pointed at what he saw and heard today, and sang a hymn for Zixiao Zhenren between words.

"Oh? There are really such characters, hurry, please, no, the old man will greet him in person! "Zhang Liang believes in witchcraft the most in his life, and when he heard that Zixiao was so strange, he couldn't care about being angry with his son, so he jumped up and ran to the front yard regardless of it......
