Li Sangrou and Princess Ning He entered the Zhuangyuan Building, followed Tingxi's instructions, and when they saw Pan Dingbang, Pan Dingbang was being pulled by the old Si Ye of Taixue, twisting his body, and smiling with a bitter face.

Pan Dingbang also saw Li Sangrou and Princess Ning He, pointed out that the two of them said something to the old Siye, hurriedly got rid of the old Siye, and rushed towards the two.

"I heard you're back, you're really back! Coming to me?

It's too noisy here, otherwise, how about I invite you to the Ding family's old number to eat a whole crab feast? When Pan Dingbang saw Li Sangrou, his eyebrows fluttered with joy.

"We're here to take a look, the second brother invited the upper sacrifice to the banquet, what are you doing here? Have you ever done a sacrifice as well? Princess Ning He snatched the words and smiled.

"I haven't even been in the inner house, and I'm still in the upper house.

What I want to come, it's your second brother, you have to pull me over, alas, your second brother, it's really ......"

Pan Dingbang raised it with one hand, grabbed it and let it go, let go and grasped it, held it for a while, and turned his head to look at Li Sangrou.

They complained to the second master, saying that the house was too old, there was no fire dragon wall, it was too cold in winter, and that the reading house was too small and too cold, and the books of the house could not be placed.

Her second brother brought me here.

What's the use of you saying you're bringing me here?

I'm in charge of repairs in the Ministry of Works, but I only care about repairs, no matter where I repair them!

The top gave me a list, where to repair, how much silver to give, how much to give, the signing of the review, the silver that should be allocated has arrived, I have received the silver above my head to work, I can do this, it is a worker.

What kind of house do you want to build, what is the use of looking for me to work? You've got to find out the money, right?

Let me fix it, who will give the silver? Where do you get the material?

As soon as I said this, her second brother actually asked me to think of a way for them. Really!

Just me, the one who can figure it out? Really looking for someone! ”

Princess Ning He said casually, hooking up a lot of complaints from Pan Dingbang.

Princess Ning and Princess Ning were blinked by his complaints.

"Then you can talk about it for them, this Taixue matter is in the hands of your father?" Li Sangrou glanced at the second prince not far away.

"Taixue is in charge of the army. Since last year, all over the capital, I heard that not only the capital, but also all the roads, that is, as many provinces as possible, last year, I took half of the jobs compared with the year before, and this year it is less than half of last year. ”

Pan Dingbang glanced at Princess Ning He, took half a step closer to Li Sangrou, leaned up, and said in a suppressed voice: "The second master has looked for the uncle, and he was ...... by the uncle."

Pan Dingbang rubbed his fingers and smiled, "That's it, the second master asked me to find a way, and he was ...... by the uncle Aha! What can I do? Is my face bigger than his? Really!

Forget it, let's go to the crab feast, eat crabs for a few days, and after these few days, it will be next year. ”

"We're here to see the cultural meeting." Li Sangrou pointed at Princess Ning He.

Pan Dingbang let out a long sigh and smiled, "I almost forgot about this stubble."

Ay! Today, hehe, it's true, all of them are young people, young people, young people, most of them have good family backgrounds, no matter how they are, they are also innocent.

Come on, come on, you stand here, you can see it here, you have to take a good look today, hey, look, that one looks good. Pan Dingbang beckoned to Princess Ning He.

Princess Ning He glared at Pan Dingbang, and instead of moving forward, she took a step back.

"Go and see, and see it without spending money." Li Sangrou pushed Princess Ning He and stood on the edge of the railing. "These are the elites of Daqi, the pillars of the future. You look at the elite, don't look at the son-in-law. ”

"That's right! Look at it and it doesn't cost anything! Pan Dingbang chuckled.

"If the seventh prince is sincere, let the old number of the Ding family send a table of crab banquet over, let's be here, eat and watch at the same time, both are beautiful." Li Sangrou looked sideways at Pan Dingbang and smiled.

"Yes, listen to the joy!" Pan Dingbang slapped the railing and immediately called out to hear the joy.

"Is the crab feast expensive? I heard Jiang Shanggong say that this year's crabs are very expensive. I haven't eaten crabs in the palace this year. Princess Ninghe looked at Pan Dingbang, "Aren't you poor, you don't even have ten taels of silver?" ”

"Look at your words, alas, poor or poor. However, there are big bosses.

When I heard that the big boss came back, I told my second sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law, and my aunt, that I had to wash the dust for the big boss, my second sister-in-law, my third sister-in-law, and my aunt, all said yes.

This crab feast, I don't need to pay the money, I will definitely be able to come down when I go back. Pan Dingbang pinched his chin, "Maybe...... Well, first find my third sister-in-law, then find my second sister-in-law for a trip, and finally find my mother, maybe, I can ask for three copies. ”

Pan Dingbang rubbed his fingers excitedly.

Princess Ning He stared at Pan Dingbang speechlessly.

Li Sangrou turned around and looked at the second prince downstairs.

Pan Dingbang pointed and pointed, talking about the gossip and habits of the old doctors downstairs, as well as which family a certain student was, and what legends and gossip there were at home, and Princess Ning listened to it with relish.

When a table of crab feasts was delivered, it was just the end of the cultural meeting downstairs and the feast was set.

Li Sangrou looked at Pan Dingbang and pointed downstairs, without her saying, Pan Dingbang immediately understood, "I asked Tingxi to invite him, he definitely can't come, he likes to talk about poetry and lyrics with those talents, with us, we don't know poetry or words, what's the point?" ”

"Second brother? The second brother loves to eat crabs the most. Princess Ning said as she looked downstairs.

Tingxi trotted downstairs, but didn't come back quickly.

After waiting for a while, Tingxi led forward sideways, and the second prince followed behind.

"Ah Yue is here, and the big boss is back." The second prince came up and greeted Princess Ning He and Li Sangrou first, "Sit down, don't be polite."

Huang Lao Siye said that he still has a lot to tell you, you are hiding here, the house is indeed too dilapidated, you can help it. ”

When the second prince mentioned Huang Lao's business, he also looked very distressed.

"Uncle has to nod his head in this matter." Pan Dingbang smiled dryly.

"Let's eat the crab first." Li Sangrou stabbed Xia Ning and the princess and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, crabs don't taste good when they're cold." Princess Ning and Princess hurriedly answered.

"Eat first, eat first!" Pan Dingbang hurriedly greeted the second prince.

Tingxi has always been quick, and hurriedly stepped forward and lifted the lid of the cage drawer covering the steamed crab, and the crab fragrance came to his nose.

"This is the first crab meal of the year, so I'm welcome." The second prince took a deep breath and reached out to carry a big crab.

Princess Ning He is also not polite, not to mention Li Sangrou and Pan Dingbang, they are all big, each has carried one, lifted the lid and broke their feet to bury their heads in eating crabs.

The crab banquet of the old Ding family is worthy of its name, the four people are satisfied with eating, the small maid removes the cup and plate, and serves the mung bean noodles smoked by the chrysanthemum leaves and osmanthus stamens, everyone washes their hands, and the little maid sends perilla ginger tea.

Everyone was drinking tea, Li Sangrou stretched out his head to look downstairs, and Pan Dingbang also stretched out his head to look downstairs, "It's so lively!" ”

Downstairs, you respect me, pull and pull, it's the time to be lively.

"What about poetry." The second prince also stretched out his head and laughed.

"Drink and drink, what poetry!" Pan Dingbang muttered, looked at Li Sangrou, and asked in a loud voice: "By the way, where have you been in the past few months?" ”

Ning looked at Li Sangrou with the princess and the second prince.

"At first, I walked along the foot, where I went, and later, when I encountered something interesting, I followed it." Li Sangrou said with a smile.

"What's the matter?" Pan Dingbang leaned forward and immediately asked.

"Ghosts and gods, it's dark outside, do you really want to listen?" Li Sangrou glanced at Pan Dingbang.

"More on that next time." Princess Ning and Princess hurriedly waved her hand.

"Niangniang is taboo to talk about ghosts, and you are also afraid?" The second prince looked at Princess Ning He and smiled.

"Aren't you afraid?" Princess Ning He glanced at the second prince.

"In our circle of people, she is not afraid, but the ghost is afraid of her. Hey, what kind of ghost thing? Scary? Pan Dingbang was a little scared, but even more curious.

"It's not scary, what's there to scary about ghosts?" Li Sangrou smiled.

"It's not scary for the big boss to dare to say ghosts." The second prince laughed.

"It's not scary." Li Sangrou smiled, pointed to the drip in the corner of the house, looked at Princess Ning He and smiled: "You should go back, I'll send you back." ”

"It's time for me to go back too!" Pan Dingbang immediately followed and stood up.

He didn't want to be caught by Huang Lao Siye anymore. He really can't help it!

"Where's the second brother?" Princess Ning He looked at the second prince and asked.

The second prince was a little hesitant.

"I've drunk too much, I can't connect with poetry, let's go." Pan Dingbang said to the second prince.

"Alas, let's go back, the big brother asked me to see a bunch of folds, I haven't seen it yet." The second prince patted his forehead in annoyance.

The four people left the champion building, and Pan Dingbang said goodbye to the three of them and went straight home.

Li Sangrou was still sitting at the door of Princess Ninghe's car, and the second prince rode a horse and followed the car.

After walking not far, the second prince looked at Li Sangrou and asked curiously, "Did the big boss really see a ghost?" Are there really ghosts in this world? ”

He was reading a legend of Zhiwei these days, and he was very curious about ghosts and gods.

"Hmm." Li Sangrou hummed with great certainty, "Does the second master want to take a look?" ”

"Is there a ghost?" Princess Ning and Princess probed out, surprised and scared.

Li Sangrou only smiled, but did not answer Ning and the princess's words.

"The big boss will still recruit ghosts?" The second prince laughed.

Li Sangrou looked at the second prince with a smile and didn't speak.

"What does the ghost look like? Can you speak? The second prince then asked.

"Hell, I saw it like this, you saw it like that, the way I saw it wasn't necessarily what you saw, you have to see it yourself to know. As for speaking, of course he can speak. Li Sangrou smiled.

"How can I see it? Do you have anything to prepare? The second prince was even more curious.

"You don't need anything, you have to watch it, you can see it in the downwind shop, day and night, at any time, it's very easy." Li Sangrou looked at the second prince with a smile.

"Second brother really want to see it? Then you go and see it during the day! It's scary at night! Princess Ning He almost held her breath when she heard this.

"Your shop is facing the corner tower, the corner tower can suppress evil spirits, and the mana is powerful, can you see it in your shop?" The second prince was very surprised.

"Hmm!" Li Sangrou hummed affirmatively, "It's just a group of poor ghosts, not some evil." ”

"So, I'll come over tomorrow?" The second prince was curious and excited.

"Okay." Li Sangrou smiled.

"I want to see it too." Princess Ning and Princess pulled Li Sangrou's sleeve.

"There are too many people, the yang energy is too heavy, if you want to see it, you have to wait for the next time, don't worry, there are many ghosts." Li Sangrou said with a smile.

"Then the second brother will look at it first, and after you read it, you will tell me whether it is scary or not.

She's too bold, she's not afraid of anything! She said she wasn't scary, I didn't believe it! Princess Ning He stretched out her head and smiled with the second prince.

"Niangniang is the most taboo ghost or something, don't tell Niangniang about this, don't tell the eldest brother, don't say it to anyone." The second prince owes himself to Princess Ning He.

Princess Ning He kept nodding.

She and the second brother are both controlled by the mother, the eldest brother, and even the third brother, who are not allowed to do this and not such people, she and the second brother often join forces, and there are some things that she and the second brother know.

……………………

The next day, Li Sangrou sat behind the Shunfeng Express Shop, drinking tea slowly and leisurely, and waited until the sun began to set, and the second prince dressed in ordinary clothes and quietly entered the Shunfeng Express Shop.

"I finally slipped out, I was detained by my eldest brother for a day today, and I listened to the deliberations all the time, and I almost couldn't get out!" The second prince looked excited after doing a little bad thing.

"Let's go to the warehouse over there." Li Sangrou bowed her hand and said with a smile.

"Okay."

"Dachang, don't let people into the warehouse." Li Sangrou raised his voice and confessed to Dachang, and let the second prince enter the warehouse yard rented from the general as a prisoner.

Li Sangrou didn't close the courtyard door, went into the wing room and came out with an old brocade bag, stood at the door of the wing room, and motioned for the second prince to stand over.

Li Sangrou took out the first scroll from the brocade bag, unfolded it, and hung it on the door nail.

"This is the first one, surnamed Zhu, her home is in Jiangdu County, and behind her, there are two girls and three mothers-in-law;

This is the second one, surnamed Zuo, her home is in Anqing Mansion, and there is only one little girl by her side, who is very thin and has big eyes;

This is the third one, surnamed Cai, whose home is in Fangzhou, and she is accompanied by a girl, a mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law is her nurse;

This is the fourth, surnamed Liu, whose home is in Jinshangfu, and there are many people around her, a girl, four mothers-in-law, and a coachman, and a long-term follower;

This is the fifth, surnamed Zhuang, whose home is in Jiezhou Mansion, with two girls and two mothers-in-law by his side;

This is the sixth, surnamed Lu, she is the same as the girl of the Zuo family, and there is only one girl by her side. ”

Li Sangrou finished introducing it in one breath, and looked at the second prince with his eyebrows twisted from the six portraits side by side.

"Look at them, do they look familiar? Aren't they all like mothers? Also very much like you.

A year before you were born, the emperor made his last inspection of the places before he ascended the throne, and from Jiangdu County, he found them one by one, brought them back, and took them to the imperial village outside Yangwu County.

A year later, in the month you were born, Huangzhuang invited six stable women from Yangwu County to deliver six children.

A month later, Shen Niangniang hugged you and lived in the imperial palace. ”

The second prince's face gradually turned pale until it was snow-white, and he suddenly pulled his gaze from the six portraits and stared directly at Li Sangrou.

"I don't know which of them gave birth to you." Li Sangrou met the gaze of the second prince and looked at him with pity.

"Why are you ......" the second prince couldn't speak with a dry throat, "they? ”

"They are all dead, along with their maids-in-law, mothers-in-law, coachmen, long-term attendants, the six mothers who delivered them, and your five brothers and sisters, all of them are dead, and there is no one alive. What you want to ask, I don't know.

Their bones are buried in the Imperial Village, in your Imperial Village.

Every time you go to your imperial village, walk in the garden, walk among those persimmon trees and peach trees, you step on their bones, on the bones of your mother, your brothers and sisters.

Take a good look, one of them is the one who gave birth to you, your mother, and your mother. Li Sangrou pointed to the six portraits.

The second prince stared straight at the six portraits, took a step back, took another step back, staggered, turned around violently, and rushed out.

Li Sangrou stood for a moment, slowly put away the six portraits, put them into the brocade bag, came out with the brocade bag, and handed the brocade bag to Dachang, "Put it away." No one is allowed to look at it, and neither can you. ”

Da Chang responded in a muffled voice, and put the brocade bag into his arms, "Second master, just now, it seems like I saw a ghost." ”

"He did see the hell. Alas. Li Sangrou sighed lowly, sat back in her chair, and continued to drink tea.
