After getting out of the carriage, Cai Wenye asked the coachman to knock on the door and introduced the master and apprentice to Cai's mansion.

Cai's family is worthy of being one of the few famous families in the local area, the mansion is not only built exquisite and elegant, the area is even larger than my great-grandfather can imagine, there is a front yard, a backyard, two partial courtyards, there are countless rooms in the whole courtyard, between the front yard and the backyard, there is a small garden, the fish pond pavilion rockery in the garden is complete, and the exotic flowers and plants compete with each other. This made my great-grandfather, the frog at the bottom of the well, think that even the palace might be nothing more than that.

Cai Wenye originally planned to arrange two sets of wings for my great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao in the side courtyard, but my great-grandfather refused, and only let him arrange one. My great-grandfather said that the master is old and cannot be left alone to take care of him at night, so it is convenient to live in a house to take care of the master. My great-grandfather said this, which gave Cai Wenye another layer of understanding of my great-grandfather.

After that, Cai Wenye set up a table of banquets in the front yard hall, and the journey was tiring and dusty, at this time, it was considered to be my great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao to pick up the wind and wash the dust.

Cai Wenye's eldest son was not at home in the shop, and his second son was not at home in Yamen, only Cai Wenye and his wife and an old housekeeper were accompanied, and there were two maids waiting to serve tea and pour wine.

After being too drunk, Wang Shoudao made a request to Cai Wenye, asking Cai Wenye's daughter Cai Qingjun to come out and see him.

Cai Wenye hesitated. In the past, the feudal ideology was serious, what women were three from four virtues, especially a large family like the Cai family, which was even more exquisite, and before the daughter was out of the cabinet, she rarely came out to meet guests.

Wang Shoudao explained that he wanted to show the young lady her complexion, and by the way, ask a few questions to see if it was really as the fortune teller said, who was disturbed by the ghost of her husband in the previous life, so that he could know it in his heart and prescribe the right medicine.

Cai Wenye heard Wang Shoudao say this, so he didn't have anything to pay attention to, so he hurriedly called the maid to invite the young lady.

After about a stick of incense, the maid led a handsome and elegantly dressed woman into the door. The woman has fair skin, a well-proportioned figure, and is quiet, if you put it now, she is a temperament goddess. It's just that the woman's spirit is not very good at the moment, her face is dark, and she looks drowsy, this woman is Cai Qingjun.

Under the introduction of Cai Wenye, Cai Qingjun gave Wang Shoudao and my great-grandfather two blessings in a proper manner.

Wang Shoudao narrowed his eyes and stared at Cai Qingjun up and down a few times, then nodded. My great-grandfather saw Cai Qingjun a little straight-eyed, he was so big, he had never seen such a beautiful woman, although his complexion was not very good, it couldn't hide Cai Qingjun's breathtaking handsomeness.

At this time, the maid moved a round stool from the side and placed it next to Cai Wenye's wife Li, Cai Qingjun walked over with her head down and sat down, raising her hands and feet, revealing everyone's beautiful demeanor.

Wang Shoudao said to Cai Wenye: "I think Ling Qianjin's complexion is dark, and the white is full of yin, which is really entangled with evil ghosts, and this ghost has not been in your house for a few years." ”

Wang Shoudao's words were like a bombshell, exploding all over the house, frightening Cai Wenye's whole family, and even the hands of the maid who poured the wine trembled.

Although Cai Wenye didn't believe in these things, he was also weak in his heart at this time, and asked in a trembling voice: "Old man, according to what you say, is it really the ghost of the little girl's husband in her previous life?" ”

Wang Shoudao waved his hand, "No, no, the fortune teller's words are only half right, Miss Cai was found by a ghost, but it is not the ghost of Miss Cai's former husband, this ghost was brought home by Miss Cai from outside." Saying that, Wang Shoudao seemed to remember something, and asked Cai Wenye, "Has Ling Qianjin been out of the house in recent years?" ”

Cai Wenye thought for a while and shook his head, "No, the little girl has never been out of the house since she was a child, and the last time she went out was four years ago. ”

Hearing Cai Wenye say this, Wang Shoudao's eyes lit up and asked him, "What did you do when you went out four years ago?" ”

Cai Wenye said: "Four years ago, Cai's second son was raised in the examination, and the whole family went to the ancestral tomb of Xiaoqingshan five miles away to worship the ancestors, which was the last time the little girl went out. ”

Wang Shoudao then asked, "Did anything strange happen when worshipping ancestors?" ”

Cai Wenye thought about it again, and then shook his head again. At this time, Cai Wenye's wife Li spoke, "I remember that a few days after Qingjun came back from worshipping his ancestors, he had an illness, and his health has been poor since he recovered from his illness. ”

Hearing what Li said, Wang Shoudao looked at Cai Qingjun who was sitting opposite again, then took out a cigarette pouch from his waist, put tobacco on it, and lit the candle on the candlestick next to him. At this time, no one spoke anymore, and the room was quiet, only the tobacco in the smoke pot flickered and went.

My great-grandfather was a little puzzled at this time, this Miss Cai now seems to be haunted by the "flower protector", just use some means to contain it, I don't know why the master has been thinking about it for so long this time.

The so-called "flower guardian", in today's words, is the "infatuated ghost", this kind of ghost and his favorite woman made a vow before his death, but he died before the wish was fulfilled, and he had a grudge before he died, and he was still unwilling to turn into a ghost, or attached to a certain medium, or wandered around, and once he met his favorite woman, he would follow him home. Strictly speaking, this kind of ghost has little impact on women, but once a man comes into contact with a woman, especially such a thing, then the man should be unlucky, and he will be seriously ill or killed.

Because this kind of ghost can also play a certain role in protecting women, it is called "flower guardian".

Now this kind of ghost is rare, in the current materialistic and drunken society, there are fewer and fewer men who hold the pillar letter in the tail, and there are also suicides for love, but they can't become "flower ghosts", because they belong to suicide, and the ghosts of suicides are very small after death, and they can't become climates, like "flower ghosts", he usually kills.

After a while, Wang Shoudao seemed to have enough addiction to smoking, put down the cigarette pouch, and then asked Li: "Miss Cai is on the way to the ancestral grave, or on the way back, didn't you meet anything?" ”

Li didn't even think about it, and replied, "No, she and I have been sitting in the carriage without lifting the curtain." ”

"That's what happened to the ancestral grave." Wang Shoudao turned to ask Cai Qingjun, "Miss Cai, what did you do on the day of ancestor worship, do you remember?" ”

Cai Qingjun heard Wang Shoudao ask her, slowly raised his head, his eyebrows rolled, looked at Wang Shoudao and my great-grandfather, and said softly: "I don't remember, after I had that illness four years ago, I have been in a trance and it is easy to forget things. ”

After listening to this, Wang Shoudao nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that Cai Qingjun's memory loss was expected by him. At this time, a maid pouring wine next to her licked her lips, as if she wanted to say something but didn't dare to say it.

The maid happened to be standing opposite Wang Shoudao, and the maid's abnormal behavior was seen by Wang Shoudao, so he said to the maid: "Girl, do you have anything to say?" Go ahead. ”

The maid glanced at Wang Shoudao, and finally looked at Cai Wenye next to her. Cai Wenye nodded slowly, as if acquiescing. It can be seen that the Cai family has very strict rules, and the maid must get the permission of the head of the house to speak in front of the guests.

Seeing this, the maid said boldly and reassuringly: "After the young lady of my family sacrificed to her ancestors that day, she took me and Xiaoxiang to play in Xiaoqingshan for a while, and the young lady also picked a few wild flowers, and there was a flower that was beautiful, and the young lady put it in a vase for a month before thanking her." ”

As soon as I heard the maid's words, Wang Shoudao and my great-grandfather frowned at the same time, a picked wildflower only withered in a month, which was too abnormal.

Wang Shoudao knocked on the cigarette pouch pot on the table and said: "That's right, the wild flower that Miss Cai picked is the evil ghost, if I guess wrong, there should be a young man buried in the soil under the flower, the evil ghost is this young man, and it will soon become a climate in the past few years." ”

Hearing Wang Shoudao say this, the Cai family felt creepy, especially Cai Qingjun and the drunken maid, who probably remembered the bright and dripping wildflower before, and looked restless.

At this time, Cai Wenye's wife Li asked in a panic: "Mr. Wang, what should I do then?" ”

Wang Shoudao stroked his goatee, thought for a while and said, "Wait for Ming'er, let's go to your ancestral grave first, and find out this man's body first." ”

Early the next morning, Cai Wenye asked his subordinates to set up three carriages, and after breakfast, Cai Wenye accompanied my great-grandfather and Wang Shoudao to Xiaoqingshan, five miles south of the county seat. Originally, these two homekeepers didn't need to be brought, but the maid Xiaolan was timid, so Cai Wenye sent two homekeepers to accompany her, mainly to give her courage, because this time it was all up to her to find the place where Cai Qingjun picked the wildflower four years ago.

On the way, in the carriage, my great-grandfather asked Wang Shoudao puzzled: "Master, Miss Cai is just haunting the 'flower guardian ghost', let's take that ghost away, why do you still have to find that male corpse, why is it so troublesome?" ”

Wang Shoudao was smoking dry tobacco at the bar at this time, and the car was full of second-hand smoke, which was terrible, and my great-grandfather had no choice but to open the curtain.

Wang Shoudao heard my great-grandfather ask, a pair of old eyes slyly glanced at the coachman who was driving the car outside, and then picked up the cigarette pouch pole, lifted the car curtain, and scolded my great-grandfather in a low voice, "You kid knows a fart, this ghost is a 'flower protector', it's not fake, it's easy to get rid of it." However, this ghost is your great matchmaker, your great benefactor, can you bear to accept your great benefactor? We can't do that kind of thing that will take revenge and lack of morality. ”

Wang Shoudao's words, listening to my great-grandfather was confused, just about to open his mouth to ask something again, Wang Shoudao glared at him, and directly blocked him back, "From now on, you give me honesty, don't say a word, what do you do when I tell you to do it, don't ask, just do it, do you hear?" ”
