Chapter 41: Impermanence
Liu Yanshu is not an inquisitive person after all, and after chatting with Sun Deren for a few words, he is reluctant to talk anymore.
Zhou Xuanqing guessed correctly, the Wu family knows some feng shui. There are also some Tsubaki trees planted in the courtyard of the front hall, which also have the effect of protecting the house and praying for longevity.
The house of Wu Mansion sits in the north and faces the south, the courtyard is a diversion pond koi, and there are five upper rooms on the front, and there are several wings on each side. It's staggered, the layout is simple, but it's just right.
The subordinate walked a few steps faster and advanced to the inner hall.
"Madam, old lady, Lord Sun of the county is here. β
"Come in, please. β
Sun Deren bowed slightly, stretched out his hand to ask Liu Yanshu to go first, and after the person stepped into the room, he immediately changed his head and swaggered in.
Mo Huaigu and Lu Shiyi straightened their clothes at this moment, behaved properly, and kept their faces solemn. Only Zhou Xuanqing, who fell last, hugged the spotted cat and maintained his casual nature.
The room is spacious, and as far as the eye can see, there is a square table made of pear blossom wood, and an old man and a woman sit on the high chairs on the left and right. Needless to say, the old man is General Wu. Silver-haired and white-bearded, with faint starlight in his eyes. It seems that the spirit is not bad.
The woman looked not very old, and she was dressed very dignified and elegant. It must be the surviving son of the Wu family.
She looked at Twenty-Eight, and she could see the beautiful appearance of the green onion from her face alone. Dai's eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are like stars, and the corners of her mouth are slightly curved, with a gentle smile. Wearing a long shirt pleated skirt with a green background and white camellia.
"The woman, Wu Xue, has seen the magistrate. Who is this?" she first bowed to Sun Deren, and then naturally turned her eyes to Liu Yanshu. Seeing that people are extraordinary, their eyebrows are bright but sharp, and they are curious.
Sun Deren cleared his throat and introduced with a solemn face, "Hurry up and salute, this is the state of the court, and I specially came to visit Wu Lao." β
While they were talking, Zhou Xuanqing had already swept around the room without missing anything.
There was a double-layer wooden shelf by the window, with a dignified iron armor on top of it, and a black iron sword horizontally. The daylight filtered in through the pane, and it poured right on the sharp blade, and the blade felt that it was formidable.
"Wu Qifeng see Hou Ye. "The folk woman has seen Master Hou. β
"No need to be polite, please get up. β
Zhou Xuanqing closed his gaze and turned back.
Liu Yanshu had already helped Wu Lao up, and his eldest daughter-in-law was holding his arm beside him.
"No, no, the old man can still walk, you don't have to hold me. Wu Laomu stubbornly withdrew his arm and limped a few steps to the window.
The green tendons on the back of his hand were protruding, and he held the Xuantie staff knife tightly, and swung around his arms, tiger and tiger. Then there was a 'clang', and it slammed into the ground, shaking up dust and debris. Wu Lao Cai breathed a long sigh of relief, and his white beard trembled with the thin cheeks.
His throat and eyes evened out and said: "Master Hou, do you see that the old man's body is still strong, although His Majesty feels that I am old and lame, but the old man is not useless, right?"
As he spoke, the atmosphere changed abruptly. The eldest daughter-in-law had a calm face on the side, and Zhou Xuanqing and the others were slightly embarrassed.
Sun Deren looked panicked, looked at Liu Yanshu for a while, and stared at Wu Lao silently for a while: Dare to criticize Your Majesty in front of the Hou Ye, isn't it really old and confused?
Liu Yanshu's long eyelashes trembled slightly, his eyes were as secretive as deep, and his eyebrows regained comfort in an instant. "Elder Wu said with a smile, in terms of age, you are comparable to Your Majesty. Fallen leaves always have to return to the roots, you have been miserable at the border for more than ten years, and you should have gone home to enjoy the blessings a long time ago. β
"Heheγγγ the prestige of the marquis, and the old man has occasionally heard of it at the border. It's just that we don't have a chance to talk in the court, and today the old man knows that Hou Ye is also a bright person. β
As he spoke, there was a sound of 'tapping, tapping, tapping' footsteps outside the door.
"Daddy, sister-in-law, the congratulatory gifts in the front hall are almost full. I just explained to my subordinates, and I will put it in the storeroom for a while. Oopsβthere's a guest here. β
The woman paused outside the house, her cheeks were round and red, her temples were towering, a pair of pearls and hostas were inserted on the left and right, and a plate of buckled knots was attached to her satin slanted clothes. He spoke quite loudly, his voice was as rough as a duck, and a pair of phoenix eyes did not shy away from examining everyone.
In addition to the richly dressed son-in-law, a little Dao aunt, and two other should be attendants. She rolled her eyes, her red lips opened, and she smiled at Sun Deren: "I said, it turned out that you were here." Today, the prefect is also coming, and my family has already taken leave with you to prepare for a good daughter. Who knew that the prefect and nobles couldn't be busy... β
In a few words, it can be seen that this little daughter-in-law is a person who tends to be inflammatory.
Because the Hou Ye was here, Sun Deren didn't say much, and he was polite when he answered with his little daughter-in-law. Even if the little daughter-in-law set her eyes on Liu Yanshu again, the latter lowered her eyes, and always had a polite and distant smile on her face. It's just a look like he's too lazy to stand up and introduce himself.
Zhou Xuanqing pursed his lips that were a little dry, and the 'grunt' in his stomach was very slight.
Liu Yanshu and the others turned their eyes over, and she had no choice but to explain with a smile, "It's a shame, it's a shame." Xiaodao didn't eat lunch, so I was hungry. β
Eating and drinking Lazar is normal for people. Zhou Xuanqing didn't think there was anything wrong at all, so he said it very calmly.
Wu Xue, the eldest daughter-in-law of the main family, gently rested the back of her hand to her mouth to hide a little smile, and then said to her: "If the female crown doesn't mind, I will ask the back kitchen to prepare some snacks and send them." β
"Yes, you can, Xiaodao is not a picky eater, just give a light mouth. "Anyway, wait a few more hours, and there will be a birthday feast to feast on.
Zhou Xuanqing was too lazy to use his brain when he was hungry, so he didn't bother to look at Liu Yanshu, and stared at her with a smile.
On the other side, the soul of the thief Hu Yibing is walking with the black and white impermanence that led him to wander underground.
"Well, I still haven't figured it out. Why did the two ghosts come to me to do some errands in the yang world? I'm a person who has nothing and no merits, I'm afraid I can't help the two ghosts, right?" said that he was not afraid that he was a deceitful ghost, but it was already like this, and Hu Yibing had no choice but to bite the bullet.
The world does not know "impermanence", but when the ghosts are too busy, they will find living people in the world to serve as ghosts and assist the impermanence ghosts to do things to hook the soul.
Hei Wuchang pinned the soul torture battle around his waist, stretched his black ghost face and said, "Why don't you have a point in your heart?" The sun above was too big and shook the eyes of the poor master, and he pointed at the wrong person for a while. However, you kid is lucky today. β
With such a thing, his soul floated up, and Hu Yibing really didn't see where his luck was.
Bai Wuchang shook the soul chain wrapped around his hand, smiled, and explained in a serious and broad tone: "Don't be dissatisfied, do you know that in addition to the Yin and Yang Book in the Hades Palace, there is also a book of merit. A thief like you who steals and lies all over the world, although it is not a great evil, it is also a loss of yin morality. Allowing you to help Yin Si do things is to offset some evil obstacles. When you get to the next life, you may be able to vote for a good family. It's not a loss. β
Hu Yibing secretly rolled his eyes and asked again, "After talking for so long, where are you going to take me?"
