Chapter 9: The Carriage

"You'll know when you go." Longjing stood up a hundred times more energetically, looking like a jade tree facing the wind, I think this kind of chic appearance is really not suitable for him, shouldn't he be a middle-aged fat man?

Sister's clothes are passed down from generation to generation, the above good silk is carefully cut, and then inlaid with gold and silver threads coiled into complex beautiful flowers, it is the same property as gold and silver jewelry, usually worth a lot of money, lost such a valuable thing, it is understandable to suspect the thief, what is puzzling is that this monster, does not eat people, does not eat raw souls, but likes clothes. Yokai are really weird things.

"What the hell is that youkai?"

Long Jing pretended to be mysterious: "You'll know when you go."

When I arrived at the clothes warehouse, I was almost shocked by those gorgeous clothes, which were simply the feather coats of the Heavenly Maiden! The variety of gorgeous and extravagant materials, the sheer quantity, is simply breathtaking.

"Youkai aren't here." Long Jing frowned, "There is no trace of demonic energy here. ”

"Enlighten the Dragon God!" A crisp voice sounded: "It's a big fight to uproot the monster!"

"Oh? Do you have any relationship with this monster? Long Jing condescendingly asked the young man who was lying on the ground talking.

This young man is Li Qitang.

Li Qitang kowtowed again: "The Dragon God has insight into everything, this monster is really not hidden, it came out of the next house."

What the? There was actually a monster in the monastic house, and the reputation was very bad. I stole a glance at this young man, will he be the one who harms people with monsters? No wonder he came out to save me, it turned out that he was making up for his family's monster and canceling out his kindness, I secretly nodded in agreement with my own idea.

"Hurry up and listen to it, otherwise I will have to tell Mei Cai myself and delay eating. Plum cabbage brought a few things like black sesame sweet soup, and I will eat it, and you listen to him. ”

Who's going to bother with you? I glanced at Longjing, and said to Li Qitang: "Li Gongzi, Mei Cai thank you for saving your life last time, no matter how this monster came about, in short, you removed it, it is for the benefit of the people, it can be seen that you are a good heart, Mei Cai on behalf of the people on Ziyuchai Street thank you Gongzi." If Gongzi does not give up, Meicai wants to know the origin of this monster, and if the son has something unspeakable, he can also return his innocence. "Although I am a child of a small family, I don't want this boy to joke vulgarly, this passage learns the dialogue on the stage, half-literate and half-white, I have a great time to say, and I don't know if Li Qitang is awkward to listen to.

"The girl is serious, let's come here one by one," Li Qitang got up and bowed to me in return: "There is nothing to hide, and I also know that the girl is not a talkative person, this monster was originally a wardrobe in my house." Pointing behind him, there is indeed a paulownia wood low wardrobe, exquisitely carved, inlaid with Luo Gong, and the translucent color is used all year round, which is worthy of being a big family's thing.

"This wardrobe was once attached to the Bloodlight Calamity."

Eh, look at the four words of this bloody disaster, you have died.

"In the next family, this wardrobe was left after the death of Mrs. Taizu, and the pieces inside are priceless treasures, to be passed on to generations of ladies, and then the ancestors of an aunt and grandmother were quite favored, and they asked for the clothes inside, the ancestors did not give it, and the aunt and grandmother were looking for death and life, and the ancestors abided by the family motto, and the aunt and grandmother relied on their favor and smashed the wardrobe in private." While pointing to a repaired wood scar, the craftsman is skillful, and he can't notice it if he doesn't look closely.

I nodded and didn't dare to interject, for fear of missing the story.

Li Qitang continued: "The matter has come to this point, and the ancestors have no choice but to promise to reward their aunt and grandmother. When the aunt and grandmother picked it out, they counted the wardrobe, and there were three pieces missing, and asked the maid in charge of the wardrobe, and the maid only said that she didn't know, Xu was taken by her aunt and grandmother, and then asked her aunt and grandmother, and her aunt and grandmother refused to admit it to death, and made a big fuss, saying that she was not as trustworthy as a maid, and shouted that it was the maid who stole the clothes, and took the opportunity to lie on her head. The ancestor also believed in the aunt and grandmother, and asked the maid to hand it over, and the maid also said that she was aggrieved, and the grandfather tortured the maid under the instigation of the aunt and grandmother to extract a confession, and the maid couldn't stand the torture, so she only said that the clothes were taken by herself, and asked her to hand them over, so she said that she was buried under the closet, and she was waiting to be called to pick it up with her, but she crashed and died on the wardrobe. Only then did I know that the maid was aggrieved, the first grandfather was furious, and searched the aunt's grandmother's house, it was a piece of clothes, and the aunt and grandmother loved each other, so they took three pieces willfully, and the maid was not allowed to leak the news, otherwise her whole family would be involved, and since then, strange things often happen in the house to lose clothes, and there are people who hear what voice shouts clothes. The first grandfather opened the wardrobe, the clothes lost are in the wardrobe, the wardrobe is not so much, the first grandfather knew that there was a monster, so he sealed the wardrobe, and offered incense, who knew that a few days ago the wardrobe seal was opened by itself, and the wardrobe was gone. He bowed again.

"Forget it, the monster is just sealed, and if it is troublesome to make trouble again, I will do a favor and seal it in my demon book to protect it." Long Jing said unashamedly.

Whose account book youkai is running everywhere?

"Divine Lord Xie Long! In the next generation of the Li family is grateful! ”

This young man was really deceived by Longjing's sanctimoniousness.

Long Jing took out the account book and said, "Call ...... Tieguanyin! ”

The wardrobe disappeared, Li Qitang bowed his head and thanked him, and proposed to fund the construction of the Dragon Shrine and make a big sacrifice. Long Jing smiled unceremoniously.

After sending Li Qitang away, Long Jing said to me, "I forgot to ask you, where did this fox scarf come from?"

I touched my scarf: "Grandpa made it for me, it looks good."

Long Jing smiled: "Things are getting more and more fun!"

I asked, "What's the matter?"

"Hurry up and offer donkey hoof cake, rose glutinous rice balls and black sesame sweet soup! As a dragon god messenger, I don't have any consciousness at all! ”

What kind of dragon god are you!

Fourth, the moon ice

In the month of La, it snowed almost every day, and the air turned into ice, and my father and mother were busy cleaning all kinds of beans and grains to make Laba porridge.

Air-dried golden longan, chestnuts, peanut kernels, mung beans, red beans, japonica rice, Hunan lotus seeds, raisins and other materials into a small clay pot and simmer slowly, stir for an hour, wait for the materials to be soft and sticky, put them into a purple sand round jar covered with lotus leaves, sprinkle with brown sugar, green and red silk, mint crumbs, scoop a spoonful and put it in the mouth, immediately make people's limbs and bones warm, enter the stomach, eat into the stomach, it is indescribably comfortable. Now is the season when Laba porridge and glutinous rice osmanthus cake dominate.

In order to maintain the temperature, every time you send supper, you must fill the gap in the food box with cotton, so as not to leak the heat and it will not taste good when it is cold. So after delivering the supper, I always rubbed the cotton balls that were hot in the jar in my hands, and it was very warm.

Today, there is a good guest in the Yanyu Pavilion.

This person is a thirty miles away, a white-skinned scholar, as soon as he makes a move, he is a broken gold, and the top and bottom of the Yanyu Pavilion are also accustomed to serving high-ranking officials and nobles, and have seen the world, but this scholar is simply not using money, but throwing clods of soil, his eyes do not blink, he ate laba porridge, praised the good taste, and actually gave me a small ingot.

I was shocked that no matter how many generous guests I rewarded, I might not be able to give me enough money to build a house for such a small girl.

I didn't dare to ask for it, but the scholar was not happy, and said that I would not look at the face, Mr. Mo hurriedly interrupted: "Her family sells dim sum, and does not open a dyeing workshop, where to tell what color is not color, the uncle only looks at my old face, don't worry about the child, the child has never seen the world, and the eyes are clumsy." While stuffing the little ingots into me, he took advantage of the situation to push me out, and the guests ignored me anymore and continued to throw money away, if it goes on like this, even if he is Shi Chong, I am afraid that he will soon go bankrupt.

I went out, wrapped the small ingots in cotton, if my father and mother knew that I received such a large sum of money, I will blame me, small families for this kind of flying windfall, often yearning and timid, only afraid of attracting disaster, but do not accept guests only say that I look down on him, it is also difficult, think about it, then wrap the small ingots in cotton, buried under the chrysanthemum field in September, if the guest regrets, I also him, but also so as not to be frightened.

As I walked, I saw a green oil carriage on the side of Ziyuchai Street, and a pair of spring onions seemed to be able to quickly lower the curtain. I thought that the wives and concubines of high-ranking officials and nobles came to make trouble, and I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I hurried home.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the green oil carriage stopped on the side of the street again. Which guest's family is it? In the month of Layue, he watched his husband change his mind so much, and the days of large families were really difficult for large families.

But on the third night, the fourth night, the fifth night, the green oil carriage seemed to be stationed there, and it would arrive every night.

What man has such a family and still comes to have fun?

On the sixth night, the carriage was still parked there, and the lady must have been very cold, so I left a jar of eight-treasure porridge to warm her up.

Approaching the carriage, and seeing the curtain of the carriage being closed by a pair of beautiful hands, I hesitated a little, presumably this lady did not want to be seen, but I am a little girl who delivers supper, it should be okay, right? Do people think I have a lot of things?

Try it, if she doesn't want it, forget it.

I buckled the window: "Madam! The weather is so cold, do you want to drink a bowl of hot eight-treasure porridge? ”

There was a pleasant female voice in the car, and she couldn't hear her age: "What a little girl with a heart, it's so cold that she still comes out to deliver supper, it's hard for you, you give me a bowl." As he spoke, the hand threw out a small piece of gold. The little gold bone rolled to the ground, and I picked it up and stuffed it back into the car window: "Madam, I don't want money, I just see you treat people here every night, but a bowl of porridge to warm your body." As he spoke, he lifted the jar to the window, and the curtain was lifted by the hand, and the porridge was taken in, and I looked up to see what the lady looked like, but the curtain fell quickly.

Am I dazzled?

The moment the curtain fell, there seemed to be no one in the car at all。。。。。。。
