Chapter Forty-Nine: The Chen Family of Muhe
The fox ghost story of the ancient temple in the deep mountains is said to be listened to by scholars at night.
All right.
There are no broken temples, and there are no scholars.
After some conversation with Lan Li, I learned that the newlywed's surname is Chen, and today it is the daughter of Chen's family in Muhe County.
Chen Dahu, Master Chen, and County Lieutenant Chen.
These three titles are all about Chen Feng, the head of the Chen family in Muhe County, and today is the day when his family recruits a son-in-law.
That's right, the one on the horse is the son-in-law of the Chen family.
Although this person looks tall and mighty, in fact, he is just a county catcher under Chen Feng, and he was taken by Master Chen, who is the county lieutenant, so he became the father of Miss Chen.
A typical costume phoenix man!
The Chen family is a wealthy family in Muhe County, with a flourishing branch and a large population, and the Chen family is a sitting tiger, so it can be said that one-fifth of the people in Muhe County rely on the Chen family to eat.
Therefore, the Chen family only recruits sons-in-law, not daughters!
These are most of the things that Lan Li has learned, as for what the son-in-law's surname is, Xiao Wu only told Lan Li that his surname is Chen, and as for what his previous surname was, Xiao Li himself was also squeaky and seemed to be difficult to say.
However, they gave Lan Li, a little Taoist priest who claimed to be under the Wudang sect, a lot of courtesy, and after hearing that Lan Li said that their young lady's son-in-law had a happy rush, they also presented two silver ingots, hoping that Lan Li would accompany them back to the county and make it clear to Chen Xianwei in person.
Two silver ingots, adding up to almost ten taels of silver.
Lan Li's eyes were bright, and he felt that he had slaughtered a wave of big people this time!
As for whether this son-in-law is the husband of the female ghost who reverts to the surname Shangguan?
Lan Li didn't doubt it.
Because the groom on horseback looks like he is in his early twenties, I think it shouldn't be the husband of the female ghost.
The female ghost said she had waited year after year......
......
......
Lan Li walked alone.
Huzun was guarding under the ancient tree, unwilling to leave for a moment, and after learning that Lan Li was going to enter the city, he was also very impatient to say that he was going to get out.
In this way, Lan Li mixed into the Chen family's marriage team.
Take a walk around the city.
I have to say that the first time I saw the ancient city, the scene in Muhe City was really dirty and messy beyond Lan Li's imagination.
The road is only five meters long, and the roadside is full of dung, and there are clumps of livestock manure in the middle of the continent.....
This is sour!
Covering his mouth and nose, Lan Li held his breath for a while, and finally couldn't help but whisper to himself: "I finally know what the 'red dust' in the door of those ancient 'masters' tastes like......
It stinks!
Living in this dirty small county town is like living on the edge of a pigsty, if you don't have a good filtering lung, I'm afraid you will have to lose your life for ten years!
After walking through a large shantytown in front of the city gate, and after entering the inner street, the air in the city can be regarded as allowing Lan Li to breathe normally.
Although it still smells, the air in some prosperous places is much better than in the places just now.
The more spacious streets, with flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road, may be different from the timeline of the Overworld, and it looks like it is only early autumn, and the flowers and plants planted in the city are still in full bloom.
After passing the city block and walking a few hundred meters, Lan Li's eyes suddenly opened up.
Banging gongs and drums.
Voices.
The red lantern is hung in front of the door, the green tile and white sand wall of the Zhumen, the red apricot and green willow are planted in the courtyard, and the happy event is coming to the rich and noble family.
Seeing that the Chen Mansion had arrived, the little maid who had been accompanying the groom official ran to Lan Li's side, and said to him with a smile: "Hurry up, the head of the trail is our Chen family's mansion in front, and I will ask the chief of the trail to take care of you for a while, on this happy day, I can only ask the chief to go through the side door...."
Lan Li nodded in agreement and followed the little maid away.
The Chen family was already ready, and more than a dozen people were waiting in front of the door of the house, and the groom official arrived, and the utensils in his hands were blowing even louder.
The bridegroom entered the door.
In the front yard, there is a lot of laughter.
These have little to do with the Blue Rite.
At this moment, he just came in through the small door of the Chen Mansion, followed behind the little maid, and said that he was going to see the head of the Chen family.
It is strange to say that on this happy day, the head of the Chen family, as the head of the family, did not go to the front yard to preside over the wedding.
Turning left and right, the hungry Lan Li followed the little girl to a wooden building located in the southeast corner of Chen's mansion, and finally saw the owner of this family, Chen Feng.
Chen Feng, Lieutenant of Muhe County.
In Lan Li's impression, this county lieutenant should be a rich and powerful nobleman.
You have to have a beer belly, right?
But in fact, what Lan Li saw was a young man in his early thirties, full of bookish anger.
After learning the origin of Lan Li from the little girl, Chen Feng, who was drinking tea with him in the wooden building, raised his head and looked Lan Li up and down before standing up.
After saluting Lan Li, Chen Feng said in a low voice: "Old man Chen Feng, I heard the servants in the family say that the little Taoist is a master, and that my son-in-law has a bloody disaster today, I don't know what the little Taoist is asking for?" ”
it! This voice is so Sue!
Guy, you came from a radio broadcast in your last life, right? Or is it a voice actor?
The messy thoughts in his mind were swept away by Lan Li, and in the face of Chen Feng's words, Lan Li replied with a salute: "The little Taoist priest was born in Wudang, and the temple is dedicated to the Zhenwu Emperor. ”
Saying this, without waiting for Chen Feng to speak, Lan Li continued with a smile on his face: "Of course, the husband of your mansion is not the first person Xiao Dao has met, and before that, Xiao Dao promised the female ghost in the ghost house of the Shangguan family to help her find her husband who has not returned for a long time to meet her for the last time.
If Master Chen can help find someone, it will naturally be excellent. ”
Lan Li didn't hide his purpose, and directly said the matter.
Since you want to find someone, you naturally want to find a local sitting tiger to do things, otherwise, if you rely on him alone, find the Year of the Monkey and Ma Yue?
As for this, does Chen Feng know about the 'Shangguan Ghost Mansion'?
The mansion was on the edge of Muhe City, less than a kilometer apart, how could no one know?
Since he knew it, he let it be deserted and no one lived in it, the reason was naturally that he knew that there were ghosts in the courtyard!
It's a very simple logic.
As long as the Chen family is willing to help, the process of Lan Li finding someone can become much more enjoyable.
The only trouble is that the time interval is too long, and the Chen family is afraid of trouble.
Really.
Chen Feng's brows furrowed when he heard Lan Li's words.
"Xiaodao Chief, there is a ruined courtyard outside my Muhe City, but there are no ghosts in that courtyard.
As for the search for people, the ghost house has been abandoned for 30 years, and there is nothing to be done to find the owner of the house and redeem Chen. ”
I refused.
Lan Li blinked when he heard this:
"County Lieutenant Chen doesn't believe that there are ghosts in the house?"
"Chen is a person who reads, and he is silent!"
