Chapter 680: Brand
This is Huo Roufeng's house, there is a Qionghuatai not far from here, Qionghuatai is planted all around, in April and May every year, Qionghuatai is full of tourists, all come to enjoy the flowers.
At this time, it is the wax moon, there are no beautiful Qionghua, and of course there are no people who come to enjoy the flowers.
Huo Qingzhou thought about the fact that this house was adjacent to Qionghuatai, it should not be cheap, and after living in it, he took a turn around the house, it didn't matter, the antique color when he first entered his eyes was not old, but real.
This frightened him, called the servant woman in the house, and when he asked, he found out that this house was not only not cheap, but also an ancient house before the two dynasties, with a history of more than 500 years.
It is said that there were two Taishou and a famous prostitute who lived here, and when they arrived in this dynasty, they were purchased by a salt merchant from Anhui, and originally wanted to be used to hide Jiaojiao in the gold house, but the little lady had just lived in for three days, and the three wives and concubines of the salt merchant, together with a group of stout women, came from Anhui to kill, smashed everything that could be smashed in the house, and threw the little lady out with a hairpin.
Later, although the salt merchant calmed down the matter, he no longer wanted to set foot in this place for half a step, so he lost three thousand taels of silver and sold this place to Huo Jiu at a low price.
At that time, Huo Jiu was in Guangdong, and it was her big shopkeeper in Jiangnan who bought the house for her. The big shopkeeper was originally going to buy it at a low price and then find a chance to sell it, but after Huo Jiu heard about it, he said, "Stay, I can still live when I go to Yangzhou another day." ”
So the big shopkeeper renovated this place, added furniture again, and just waited for Huo Jiu to come here to live.
But after that, Huo Jiu never returned to Jiangnan, and she never came here, eight or nine times out of ten, she didn't remember that she still had such a house.
But she didn't remember, but her tents did. As soon as Huo Qingzhou arrived in Yangzhou, he took the token given to him by Huo Jiu, and only said that he wanted to find a quiet place, and immediately someone thought of it.
Huo Qingzhou regretted it very much, he knew that this was an ancient mansion of more than 500 years, and he would rather pay his own money to go to the guest house.
Five hundred years have passed, Sun Monkey has met Tang Sanzang, who knows which room here has died, and which room hides an old ghost.
Be sure to write to tell my sister, let's not keep this house, find someone who is stupid and have more money to sell it quickly, and go back and let Zhanhuai buy you a new one.
However, the people who come and go in Yangzhou are rich people, and even the house is not cheap, and the money for Zhanhuai is used in the army, and eighty percent of them can't afford it.
Fortunately, the son of Qingzhou learned to be rich and five cars, and he also studied the Book of Changes and Shuma, so he asked Ruyan to buy a compass and calculate the safest house.
In the next few days, Huo Qingzhou did not go out of the gate, did not step out of the second door, put a quilt on his lap, held a hand stove, guarded the brazier, stayed in that room, a huge house, he did not go anywhere.
He lived here for ten days, and seeing that the Chinese New Year was about to come, he was about to send Ruyan to Caiyungui to investigate, and the deer returned.
I haven't seen it for ten days, and the deer is still the same green cabbage ten days ago, and it hasn't improved at all because of going to the flower boat.
She slowly pulled out a satin bag, opened it, revealing an old booklet.
Huo Qingzhou's heart shook violently, this little cabbage actually stole something.
"Did you find out?" Huo Qingzhou asked.
"I didn't have it when I left, I don't know now." The fawn sat down in front of the brazier and stretched out a pair of small, frozen red hands to bake the fire.
Huo Qingzhou's attention was on the booklet, and the cover of the booklet was written with the words "Country Notes", which seemed to be a sour Confucian's handwritten note.
Huo Qingzhou opened it casually, and the first dozen or so pages were really essays, what kind of hedge fell sparsely and deeply, and the flowers on the trees did not become yin; What children and grandchildren have not solved for farming and weaving, and they also learn to grow melons in Sangyin.
Flipping back further, it was indeed the Xie family tree.
Over the years, the Xie family has been cautious enough to hide the family tree in an ordinary booklet. There are not many literate people in the countryside, and occasionally when they encounter literate people, they will think that they are ordinary notes just by looking at the front.
Huo Qingzhou didn't raise his head, waved his hand, and motioned for the fawn to withdraw, but he looked at it for a while, and then looked up, only to see that the fawn was still sitting in front of the brazier roasting the fire, like a half-baked vegetable.
Huo Qingzhou didn't see anything from the genealogy, he was upset, and when he saw that the deer was still here, he immediately frowned, and said unhappily: "Why don't you leave?" ”
The fawn looked around, pointed to his nose, and asked, "Are you talking about me?" ”
"Not you or who?" Huo Qingzhou was angry.
"Oh, Caiyun can't go back, I can only stay here, where else can I go."
Huo Qingzhou is so angry, how can the people related to the Zhan family be so hateful, that little night was like this before, and now this little cabbage is the same.
"This house is huge, you can go anywhere, and it will disappear in front of my eyes immediately."
"Uncle Xie, is the object I stole what you want? That's right. The fawn asked with a grin, as if he didn't see his displeasure.
"For the time being, it seems that there is no mistake." Huo Qingzhou was looking at it line by line.
"So I'm making a meritorious service?" The fawn asked again.
"Well, sort of, when I see someone surnamed Zhan, let them give you a credit."
"Then it's exempt, the person who can give me credit is not here, if you tell the uncle, the third master, and the fifth master, it's all useless."
Huo Qingzhou raised his head, by the way, he forgot, he had heard Zhanyue say before, Chazi's affairs are not in his hands, if he wants someone, Chazi Camp will send people over, but it is his second brother who manages Cha Ziying.
Huo Qingzhou shook his head, who knew whether the horse master was alive or dead, so he didn't bother to care.
"Okay, when I go back, I see Zhan Lao Er helping you ask for credit, now rest assured, go out."
"No, Uncle Xie, you don't have to give me credit, you can help me see, what is this object?"
Huo Qingzhou was stunned, raised his eyelids and looked, and saw that Xiaolu was holding a strange-looking brand in his hand.
He took the brand, the texture of the brand is not gold or jade, but it is very strong, carved with patterns, the patterns are intricately intertwined, but there is nothing special.
He flipped the sign over and looked at it a few more times, and his eyes fell on the patterns again.
Maybe after looking at it for a long time, he felt a little blurry in front of him, and then, the patterns seemed to move, floating in front of him like floating clouds.
Huo Qingzhou was shocked, and hurriedly looked away from the brand, and he asked Xiaolu: "Where did this brand come from?" ”
Xiaolu said: "Yun Niang hid this booklet in the dark compartment under the flower boat, I took some effort to take out the booklet, when I found the booklet, this booklet was put together with this brand, I think the brand seems to be a little weird, I don't know if it is useful or not, so I took it back together." Uncle Xie, take a look, if it's useless, I'll keep it for myself to play, and if it's useful, I'll hand it over when I return to Fujian. ”
