Chapter 161: The Ghost Servant Talks
That is, when Wang Shiyan entered the palace, Li Si also found a place to live.
This is a relatively large courtyard, there are six wings on the left and right, and there is a small pavilion in the main courtyard, which can be used for people to rest, and it still looks very elegant.
Li Si lives here, not because he is greedy for enjoyment, because he came late, and he has already found several inns before, which are full of people, and there are no spare places.
While he was distressed, someone approached him and said that there was a better place, so they brought him here.
He saw that the environment here was also good, so he chose to live here.
However, although the environment here is good, the price is also relatively expensive, several times more expensive than the price of the inn, so Li Si is not short of any money now to live here.
At this time, Li Si was sitting in the middle of the room and reading a book.
He hadn't read a book for a long time on the road, and felt that there were many places that needed to be reviewed.
At this time, a knock on the door woke Li Si up, but he saw a man in a green shirt standing at the door, looking at him with a smile.
"You are?" Li Si looked at him with some doubts, he didn't know this person, and he didn't understand what this person was looking for him.
Seeing Li Si's puzzled appearance, the man in the green shirt smiled and said, "I just moved in, and I live next door to you, so I'll come and visit now." ”
Then he walked straight in, and he didn't look like he was out of sight at all.
Seeing him come in, Li Si put down the book in his hand, got up and arched his hand: "Li Si of Fengmen County, I don't know who Your Excellency is?" ”
"Zhang Yuan, Mengting County." Seeing Li Si's self-reported home, the man in the green shirt also arched his hand and introduced himself.
After introducing himself, he was immediately surprised: "Are you from Fengmen County?" Do you have a family surnamed Chen that sells peaches? ”
Hearing Zhang Yuan's surprised words, Li Si was slightly stunned, and almost didn't react, but he immediately thought that this Zhang Yuan was talking about Chen Zhongyang.
And when he thought of the peaches planted by Chen Zhongyang, his face became a little strange, but he remembered that all the peaches in the peach forest had turned into thick water, which was extremely disgusting.
"The peaches taste really good, I was a regular visitor to their house, and I used to buy peaches at his house every year." Zhang Yuan didn't notice the strange look, and said excitedly.
"His peaches are really good." Li Si nodded seriously and said.
He can't tell this man now that you won't be able to eat that kind of peach in the future, or he won't know how to explain it.
Seeing Li Si say this, Zhang Yuan laughed, his face showed the same look as a hero, and then said: "I saw Brother Li studying here, but I want to take this year's township exam?" ”
"Not bad." Li Si nodded slightly.
"That's too coincidental, I'm here to take the township test, it seems that we still have a chance to do the same year." Zhang Yuan had a look of surprise on his face.
Seeing him like this, Li Si didn't know what to say, this same year was the title of the person who was admitted in the same year, I don't know why this Zhang Yuan was so confident in this, and felt that he would definitely pass the exam.
As for Zhang Yuan coming to participate in the township examination, he had already guessed, after all, at this age, plus he is a foreigner, it is not strange that he is a candidate.
However, Li Si was not easy to refute, and said with a smile: "I hope so, I hope that this time I can become the same year as Brother Zhang." ”
Seeing Li Si like this, Zhang Yuan's eyes showed a hint of surprise, he just said it casually, thinking that this person would be sincerely afraid, and he said things like shame, but he didn't expect this person to be so calm.
This made him look at Li Si a little differently, and he couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother Li, I finally came to Zetianfu, do you want to go out for a walk together?" I heard that there are a few new Qingqi people in the white jade building. ”
"No, I still want to read a book today." Li Si said with an apologetic look on his face.
Hearing Li Si say this, Zhang Yuan showed a disappointed look on his face and said, "Then Brother Li continues to read, and I will go alone." ”
As he spoke, he walked out, and before leaving, he turned around and winked at Li Si.
Seeing the way he squeezed his eyebrows when he left, Li Si couldn't laugh or cry, but he felt that this one was also interesting, without the pedantic nature of other readers.
Then he shook his head and picked up the book from the side to continue reading.
After watching for a while, Li Si felt a little tired, looked at the sky, it was already dusk, and he was ready to go out to find a restaurant for dinner.
And at this time, a rush of footsteps came from a distance.
Li Si frowned slightly, put the book down, and looked outside, but saw that the courtyard was empty.
Then he got up and looked towards the roof, only to see a man dressed as a servant walking quickly on the roof.
The servant's face was blue, and he carried a lantern in his hand, which looked extremely strange in the twilight.
After all, who would still have a lamp on at dawn and still run on the roof.
Seeing this servant, Li Si was shocked, and knew that he had encountered a ghost, so he subconsciously wanted to call Xiao Duan out.
But soon he calmed down, and as soon as he entered Zetian Mansion, he encountered ghosts, which was probably not accidental, and he may have come to find him.
Who else came to find him except the Nie family?
Thinking of this, Li Si calmed down, pretending not to see it, and enjoying the scenery in the courtyard.
And it was indeed as he expected, the servant fell from the roof to the courtyard lightly, he looked at Li Si, his eyes showed a greedy look, and even the corners of his mouth drooled out.
But he immediately collected his look, showed his figure, walked in front of Li Si, and said with a smile: "Didn't scare you, right?" ”
This kind face was completely different from when Fang just stared at Li Si.
"Not really." Li Si said lightly.
The ghost didn't know that he had seen it clearly when he came, and thought it could scare him.
Seeing Li Si's bland expression, the servant's eyes showed a look of surprise, but he immediately said, "How does the house arranged by this young lady feel uncle?" ”
Hearing this servant say this, Li Si knew that he had guessed correctly, this person was really sent by the Nie family, and at the same time, he was also a little shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that this Nie family had this kind of background, and he could also send ghosts to walk in Zetian Mansion.
What he didn't expect was that the place where he lived was arranged by the Nie family, which couldn't help but make him feel creepy, as if the Nie family knew what he was doing in this Zetianfu.
"But something happened, and I actually let a scholar live next door to you, and if you don't think it's suitable, I'll have someone kick him out." At this time, the servant said with some embarrassment.
Hearing this servant say this, Li Si sensed some information from it, he just said to drive out, not to kill people, so it means that there are still certain restrictions on ghosts in this city.
And from what this servant said, it made him overturn his thoughts, this Nie family may have power in Zetian Mansion, but it is definitely not strong enough to control everything.
"No need." Li Si said calmly.
The servant was a little annoyed by Li Si's attitude, he just said that those were just to scare this scholar, but he didn't expect that he would still be unmoved.
So he rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Uncle, Miss said, if you fail the township exam this time, the people you know will suffer, just like that child." ”
Hearing the servant say this, Li Si's face showed anger, he thought of the powerlessness he felt when he held Yu Hu's head, and his heart became more determined in the idea of eradicating this Nie family.
These ghosts are really looking for death!
Seeing the anger on Li Si's face, the servant's eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and he smiled: "I have already brought the words, uncle, you are so self-conscious." ”
With that, he turned and jumped, jumped onto the roof, and hurried away.
Seeing the figure of the servant walking away, Li Si's heart moved, so he quickly followed.
