Chapter 14: Resurrection of the Dead

According to Yan Wenkuan's observation, since Yan Yu and Tian Tian had a fight last time, their brother and sister have been much more harmonious in the past few days.

Originally! Yan Wenkuan thought without modesty. Tian Tian has been well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and he is extremely intelligent, which one would not see the goodness of his daughter?

As for Yan Yu, his own sons and nephews, although they didn't grow up recently, their conduct is naturally upright. So the relationship between the brother and sister is becoming more and more "intimate", and he is not surprised.

What surprised him was Qin Zhuen, the son of the eldest princess of Xiangning. Although he was an official in a foreign country, he was not ignorant of the affairs of the capital. The name of the number one gangster in Beijing is still heard.

So at first, when he learned that his nephew Yan Yu was friendly with him, he was still very apprehensive.

Fortunately, after getting along in the past few days, he found that this Qin Zhuen was not as ridiculous and obedient as the rumors. On the contrary, he treats his elders very gently and respectfully, and is polite, and he is a rare honest child with a pure heart and a simple and simple heart!

Pure heart? Honest and simple?

When this eight-character comment was told to Yan Yu, Yan Yu just nodded solemnly, but secretly he almost bit his lower lip to blood before he could barely hold back the wild laughter that was about to burst out of his mouth.

Third uncle, you are a Buddha yourself, even if you don't look at anyone like a lotus boy? As far as Qin Zhuen's goods are concerned, are they still honest? Still rustic?! He's such a demon and monster as he deserves to use these words?

It's over, his third uncle is seeing the world through the eyes of a Buddha, and he is ready to purify all sentient beings.

……

The twenty-third day of the lunar month, the year of the year. "Demons and monsters" Qin Zhuen was commanded by the "well-behaved and sensible" Miss Yan early in the morning. At this time, he was placing the offering table for worshipping ancestors with Uncle Sun and others.

After all, it is necessary to sacrifice the stove and sweep the dust, and the Yan family's small courtyard is busy.

And Yan Yu, who was "getting closer and closer" to Yan Tian, stood outside the hall with his hands at first glance, looking at Yan Tian, who was busy, and Qin Zhuen, who was called by Yan Tian, and couldn't help but feel blocked in his heart.

Qin Zhuen really never messes around in front of women. Maybe it's because he grew up with his widowed mother since he was a child, although he has a perverse temperament, he treats women really leniently and forbearance.

But even so, he still felt that Qin Zhuen's treatment of Yan Tian seemed to be different from others. Especially after the last time his brother and sister quarreled, Yan Tian's eyes seemed to be even more unusual, but he couldn't tell the difference for a while.

Alas! Yan Yu sighed, feeling that her hair was gray. Since he has already sent a letter home saying that he will celebrate the New Year with his third uncle, let's talk about it for a few days first. After the New Year, quickly take this demon king of the mixed world away.

Qin Zhuen didn't know what Yan Yu was thinking, at this time, a pair of eyes only followed Yan Tian, and when he heard her order, he immediately rushed forward, pointing where to fight, which was better than the dust whisk in Yan Tian's hand.

Sanshou wanted to come forward to help several times, but he couldn't intervene. He couldn't help but slander, their son-in-law shouldn't have fallen into any evil again, right? I've never seen him work so much on weekdays.

He didn't know that Qin Zhuen just liked this busy and lively atmosphere, as if he had returned to ten years ago, and his family was celebrating the New Year like this......

At this moment, in the warm winter sun, the dust floats lightly in the air, glowing with a faint golden glow. Yan Tian frowned, covering his mouth and nose with one hand and dusting the dust on the furniture with the other.

The only few subordinates of the Yan family came and went noisily. Several hens in the courtyard were frightened and fled in all directions.

The corners of Qin Zhuen's mouth couldn't help but rise, he felt that this place was really good, there was fireworks, and there was a human touch.

……

"Miss! Miss! What's new! Big new thing! ”

Everyone was in a hurry, and suddenly saw Xiaozhu rushing from outside the door with her skirt and running in front of Yan Tian.

"Little ...... cough, cough, cough, cough ......" Xiaozhu gasped and was about to speak, but she was choked to death by the dust swept up. She quickly covered her mouth and nose, "Miss, Miss, do you know?" There is a big new thing in our Luozhou City today! ”

"What's new? Let you go grocery shopping with Aunt Hu, and only come back in the next half a day? What about the dish? ”

"Dish? The dishes are at Aunt Hu's, and Aunt Hu is walking slowly behind...... Ah! Miss! What else do you care? Did you know? The eldest young master of the Ye family in the south of the city is back! ”

"What? Who? ”

"Chengnan Ye family! Your good sister Grandma Jin's husband, Young Master Ye, is back! ”

"Nonsense!" Yan Tian frowned and looked at Xiaozhu, "Ye Jinxian has been dead for a month, and I went to mourn on the day of the funeral." Why can't you cheat the corpse in broad daylight? ”

"What a corpse! It's a resurrection of a corpse! ”

As soon as Xiaozhu said this, the Yan family's courtyard immediately fell silent, and everyone stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to look at her.

"Resurrection of a corpse?" Qin Zhuen was originally a person who liked to join in the fun, and as soon as he heard this, he immediately came over, "There is such a thing?" ”

As soon as Yan Yu saw him coming over, the alarm bell suddenly sounded in his heart, and he hurriedly stepped forward and stood between him and Yan Tian.

"Resurrection of a corpse?" Yan Tian looked at Xiaozhu in surprise, "What the hell is going on?" Tell me about it! ”

When Xiaozhu saw Yan Tian asking her, she immediately became interested, and she cleared her throat and talked about the new things she had just heard from the market.

It turned out that there was a rich and noble family surnamed Ye in this Luozhou city, with a solid family background, and his ancestors had been officials in his early years. Now that the heirs of this generation of sons have withered, they have only one son named Ye Jinxian.

Young Master Ye has been loved in every way since he was a child, and when he was eighteen years old, he married the young lady Jin of the local Jin Sect family as his wife.

This Jin family was born in a scholarly family, born like a flower and jade, has a similar temperament with Yan Tian, and is a close friend of the boudoir for many years.

The family affairs of the Ye and Jin families are also considered to be a good match, and they are talented and beautiful. When the two got married at the beginning of this year, Yan Tian also rushed to add makeup to the Jin family and drank the wedding wine of the two.

It's just that the world is unpredictable, and the good days have not been over for a year, but Young Master Ye suddenly fell ill and died suddenly last month. Grandma Ye, a good young young woman, became a widow in this way.

Xiaozhu is talking about this Young Master Ye Jinxian, who has been dead for a month.

Before dawn today, the gate of the Ye family was suddenly slammed, and a rough man of twenty-six or seventeen knelt at the door and cried, shouting "Daddy, mother-in-law, I'm back."

"Miss, you don't know." Xiaozhu's face flushed with excitement when she talked about this, "That 'new Ye Jinxian' looks much worse than the 'old'!" I heard Mrs. Liu, who sold tea in the bazaar, say that the 'new' was short and thick, with big hands and feet, and his hands were full of calluses.

"The face is not good. He had dark skin, a pair of mouse eyes, and a large rosacea nose. It's strange that his behavior is exactly the same as Ye Jinxian's life.

"The second elder of the Ye family didn't believe in anything 'borrowing corpses to return souls', and at first I thought it was a liar who knew that their family had just died and their son came here to cheat.

But who knew that person not only behaved like Ye Jinxian, but also explained his habits and experiences clearly from childhood to adulthood.

What's more, this person looks like a rough person, but he is as literate and hyphenated as Ye Jinxian. Although Master Ye's reading is average, after studying for so many years, the knowledge in his stomach is definitely not something that can be pretended to be a rough man.

"The second elder of the Ye family has been interrogating from Yin Shi to Chenshi, and for four full hours, that person has answered like a stream, without a single flaw. If it weren't for the resurrection of the soul, what irrelevant stranger could say so clearly? The old couple was completely convinced, and it was crazy to cry and laugh while hugging the man. Old Madam Ye almost didn't cry anymore.

"According to the 'Ye Jinxian', he woke up a month ago in a ruined temple in a wilderness hundreds of miles away. I don't know who the original owner of this body is.

"I just remember that when I died, I heard the cry of my parents and wife. Then there was a sudden light in front of him, and he couldn't see what it was, but he felt that there was a white light leading him forward. And the cry in his ears faded, and his heart was relieved.

Later, he didn't know how long he had walked, but he didn't feel tired, and suddenly he felt someone pushing him behind his back, and he seemed to fall, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that he had become a rough man, lying alone in the ruined temple in the barren mountains and mountains.

He said that he didn't know why the rough man was lying alone in the ruined temple in the winter, and he didn't know why he woke up and became this rough man. Anyway, in order to go home, Young Master Ye, who was penniless at the time, relied on his memory to ask for food all the way back. ”

As soon as Xiaozhu's words fell, the people in the Yan family's small courtyard immediately talked about it.

"Amitabha! Is there such a thing? The cook was the first to recite the Buddha, "This is a great blessing from God." ”

"Isn't it!" Aunt Hu, who had just entered the door with a vegetable basket, immediately took over the cook's words, "This is the blessing of Master Ye and his family for accumulating virtue and doing good deeds on weekdays." That's what Ma Daopo said.

"On the way back just now, I saw her heading to Ye's house. said that he was going to recite the Soul Fixing Sutra to Young Master Ye. He also said that Young Master Ye was able to 'borrow the corpse to return to the yang' this time, thanks to the fact that Master Ye and his family believed in God on weekdays, and enshrined an everlasting lantern with the size of a sea bowl in her. In addition, their family is usually kind and accumulates yin virtue, which moved the Lord of Hades and released the young master Ye who had originally arrived in Yangshou. ”

"Is there such a thing?" Qin Zhuen listened strangely, and raised his eyebrows to look at Yan Yu with a smile, but he didn't believe it very much.

"In the past and present life, karma is also there." Yan Yu is not very repulsive because his mother, Mrs. Ding'anhou, believes in Buddhism and Taoism, and has heard a lot of such stories since he was a child.

"Maybe this is really a blessing for the Ye family. If this is the case, such a family that accumulates virtue and does good deeds has such an adventure, it can be reported to the court as the third uncle's local political achievements. Isn't the emperor trying to promote Buddhism and Taoism recently to educate the people to be good? Isn't that just an example? ”

Aunt Hu is not like the cook and others who are local helpers hired by the Yan family, she and Uncle Sun are both born to the Hou Mansion and have some knowledge, so when they heard Yan Yu's words, they immediately became happy:

"Oops! That's a good hurry. In this way, wouldn't our lord have another meritorious achievement? It's still the second young master's brain, and he can think of ideas. This thing is encountered by our people, and it is just a matter of listening to it. ”

After Aunt Hu finished speaking, the people immediately laughed with her. Then the cook stepped forward to take the basket, and the two went to the kitchen together. Everyone was busy again. As Aunt Hu said, the matter of the Ye family was just treated as a fresh anecdote, and after two sentences of discussion and a few sighs, it was thrown to the back of my mind.

It's just that Yan Tian didn't seem to think so, Qin Zhuen noticed that she hadn't said a word since Xiaozhu told this story just now, as if she was in deep thought.

"Big sister?" Qin Zhuen went to call her through Yan Yu, her peach blossom eyes flashed, as if there was starlight, "What are you thinking?" Do you think there's something else going on here? ”

Yan Yu also turned his eyes to look at Yan Tian, but said, "What's so strange about this?" The allusion of 'borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul' was not without it before. Isn't Tie Guan Li, one of the 'Eight Immortals', the soul that Li Xuan returned by borrowing the corpse of a beggar on the side of the road? It's an adventure, but it's not impossible. ”

"Brother Qin, what do you think?" After listening to Yan Yu's words, Yan Tian raised his eyes and looked at Qin Zhuen. In the past two days, she faintly felt that the son of the eldest princess did not seem to be like the ordinary man she usually saw, and some of her thoughts and cognitions seemed to be secretly in line with her deviant self. He could understand what she was saying, and she could understand what he meant. It's amazing.

Somehow, at first glance, Yan Tian's black grape-like eyes looked so seriously, Qin Zhuen's heart suddenly leaked, he couldn't help but feel hot on his face, lowered his head and touched his nose: "I have never believed in this ghost and god theory. My mother didn't believe it. She ......, "Qin Zhuen didn't say anything further.

His mother once said that if there were really ghosts and gods in this world, then what she did would have been torn to pieces by hundreds of ghosts a long time ago.

"I don't believe it either." Yan Tian didn't wonder what he was saying later, but softly echoed it. Then he turned to look at Xiao Zhu, and ordered in an eager tone, "You go to Ye Mansion with Uncle Sun now, and pick up Huijuan immediately!" ”

"Pick up Grandma Jin?" Xiaozhu was confused, "Now that Young Master Ye has just come home, the young couple is reunited." If I don't have a proper manager, the Ye family will not let anyone go. ”

"Why?" Yan Tian frowned.

"Tian Tian, how busy are you here?" At this moment, Yan Wenkuan came out of the study with a tea bowl.

Because his study has files and documents, it has never been a dummy's hand, and it is only cleaned up by himself or Yan Tian. He had just tidied it up, and came out with a tea bowl to drink saliva.

As soon as she saw her father, Yan Tian's eyes immediately lit up, and then she smiled.

"Xiaozhu, when you go to the Ye family, just say that my father is in a hurry to let me get married, and he has already sent someone to pick up the cousin of the Tian family. I'm in a hurry to embroider a wedding dress! It's going to be after the year! So I specially asked Huijuan to come to the rescue and help me embroider my wedding dress! ”

"What?!" Qin Zhuen and Yan Yu were so shocked that they shouted in unison when they heard the thunder.

"Poof!" Yan Wenkuan squirted out a sip of tea.
