Chapter 5 Buying a House (Ask for Collection!)
"Anquan, look at that sugar man, look at it!"
After entering the boundary of Qishui County, An Quan found that the streets were very lively. After some inquiry, I found out that today is just in time for the market, and there will be so many people on the street.
The little female ghost didn't know what tricks she used, and she could see all the lively scenes outside the baggage clearly.
At this moment, she was talking excitedly.
"Anquan, you go buy me a candy man. Isn't it good!" The voice of the little female ghost came from An Quan's back.
"Don't buy it!" An Quan simply refused.
"Why!" the little female ghost was a little upset.
"Because there's no money!"
The reason for this is very good.
I don't have a copper plate on my body, where did I get the money to buy her candy.
"I have!" said the little female ghost again.
Well?
"Where did you get the money?"
"You open the baggage, and there are two books in the baggage, and the money is placed under there. ”
Hearing this, An Quan opened the baggage, and sure enough, he found three palm-sized pieces of gold under the two books.
Hey?
Such a big piece of gold!
In the original world of Anquan, such a large amount of gold would be worth a lot of money.
"Where are you from?" asked Yasumen.
"The little monkey picked it up from the mountain!"
Could it be that there is a gold mine on this Yan Mountain?
An Quan thought to himself.
"You can buy it now!" the little female ghost asked impatiently.
"No way!"
"Why?"
"With such a big amount of gold, it's enough to buy the entire market stall!" An Quan said angrily.
"Ahh
"Wait, I'll go get some copper plates. ”
After An Quan finished speaking, he transported the mana to his fingertips, gently cut a small piece of gold, and then put the rest into the baggage.
I found a shop in the market to exchange copper plates.
The shopkeeper originally saw that An Quan was dressed poorly, and he wanted to get a deal from him.
Who knows, An Quan used the Qi Hope technique he learned from the "Qi Drawing Technique" to take a look, and found that this guy was lying.
The shopkeeper had no choice but to do his duty.
was also taken away by An Quan on the grounds of his dishonesty.
"Phew, the black-hearted guy is obviously a knowledgeable person. I just pretend to be this innocent look......"
After An Quan left, the shopkeeper hid behind the door and complained softly.
Now, the little female ghost finally got her wish and bought the candy man.
A small monkey shape, which was kept for the little monkey. A young woman-like, this is the little female ghost herself. There is also an image of an old man in a Taoist robe, which was bought for An Quan.
The little female ghost is very righteous and has not forgotten Anquan, a friend she just made.
There is a wide variety of things sold in the bazaar.
Under the command of the little female ghost, it didn't take long for An Quan's burden to be stuffed.
Under the repeated requests of the little female ghost, An Quan also added a few sets of clothes for herself.
"Anquan, is there a bookstore there?" the little female ghost spoke again.
An Quan looked up, and sure enough, there was a place called "Five Lakes Bookstore".
"What, you still want to buy books?" said Anquan with some confusion.
Uh-huh!
"You go and ask me if there is a third volume of "Yunshan Love". The little female ghost said excitedly.
Hearing the little female ghost say this, An Quan remembered that the two books in the baggage were written "The Love of Yunshan Mountain", which were the first and second volumes respectively.
"You are a little female ghost, and you still read?"
"Also, where did the two books in this baggage come from?"
An Quan was full of doubts.
"What's the matter? can't ghosts have their own hobbies?" the little female ghost looked a little unconvinced, and continued: "Those two books were stolen by the little monkey for me a few years ago when a few girls went into the mountains to play. ”
Anquan "......"
"I'm hiding in a box by myself, and I can't come out, it's boring. Isn't it good......"
Since An Quan became familiar with it, the behavior of the little female ghost has become more and more casual.
An Quan had no choice but to walk in.
"Guest, what do you want to see?"
As soon as An Quan entered the door, the old man who thought he was rickety greeted him.
"There's that ......"
"The third volume of "Cloud Mountain Love". The little female ghost reminded softly.
"Is there a third volume of 'The Love of Clouds and Mountains'?" asked An Quan.
"Yunshan Love?" the old man muttered, his expression slightly puzzled.
"Oh! I remember, this is an old book from a few years ago. The old man pondered for a while, then remembered, and said, "There are not many books left now, and I will go inside to find them." ”
"Old gentleman, please. ”
Then the old man turned and went into the inner room.
Most of the books on the bookshelf outside the bookstore were some novels, and An Quan picked up a copy called "The Strange Story of the Wild Fox" and opened it to look at it.
The book is probably about a scholar who met a fox spirit who had cultivated into a fine at night, was lost in his mind, and was rescued by a master.
The fragment in the book about the scholar being bewitched by the fox spirit is quite beautiful.
Although the story is old-fashioned, Anquan is full of relish.
"Phew......"
There was a soft snort behind him.
An Quan woke up suddenly, and the little female ghost was still in the baggage. It seems that the contents of the book have been seen by her.
"Ahem......"
An Quan coughed dryly, casually put the book of "The Strange Story of the Wild Fox" back on the shelf, put his hands behind his back, and pretended to be nothing.
The little female ghost in the box felt a little embarrassed inexplicably.
How can this damn vixen be so shameless?
And Anquan too, this kind of thing is so exciting!
Could it be that he just likes to watch these things?
Yes!
An Quan doesn't seem to be very old, and he hasn't married, so it's normal to think about these things.
It's just that......
He looks cute and moving, and he has to stay with An Quan all day long, will he be tempted to do something like that to himself?
The little female ghost's thinking gradually diverged.
In case of?
What should I do if Anquan has bad thoughts about me?
From it? or from it......
No!
The little female ghost shook her head, I am a ghost, and An Quan is a human, so it will hurt him.
That's not right!
An Quan's cultivation is profound, it should be fine, right?
The thoughts of the little female ghost are becoming more and more inappropriate for children.
"Guest Officer ......"
The old man walked out of the inner room, interrupting the little female ghost's thoughts.
"Coincidentally, the shop happened to have a booklet. ”
The old man handed the third volume of "The Love of Yunshan" to An Quan.
"How much!"
An Quan flipped it open casually and said.
The old man said a price, and An Quan looked at it with his qi technique, and saw that he was not lying, so he was ready to pay the bill.
"The shop still has four or five volumes of "Yunshan Love", I wonder if the guest officer needs it?" the old man said again.
"To ......"
Hearing the voice of the little female ghost in the baggage, An Quan nodded at the old man.
After paying the bill, Anquan prepared to leave.
"Uncle Xu......"
Just then, a young man in a long robe walked in.
The young man looked very anxious, kept walking, and said in his mouth: "Uncle Xu, how is the matter with the matter I asked you a few days ago?"
The old man said, "Prince Wang, I asked someone to ask ......."
"How's it going?"
The young man asked eagerly.
The old man shook his head.
Seeing the old man like this, the expression on the young man's face suddenly became extremely lost, and he muttered, "Is there still no one willing to buy it?"
The old man still shook his head.
"I know, thank you Uncle Xu......"
The young man walked out of the door in despair.
"Old gentleman, this prince, what's the matter?" An Quan asked when he saw the young man's appearance.
"Hey...... The family is in trouble and wants to sell their ancestral home. The old man sighed and said.
An Quan was a little curious, and said, "Looking at this, the suffering should be not small." ”
"Hey......" The old man sighed and said, "If you want to say that this Wang family is also a big family. The second master of the Wang family, who was an official in the court, was ranked to the fourth rank. ”
"It's just that someone came with news a few days ago. The second master of the Wang family was taken down from Zhao Prison, and he will be beheaded soon. The eldest master of the Wang family has been in poor health in recent years, and when he heard the news, he returned to the west at that time. ”
After the eldest lord of the Wang family returned to heaven, the lady was also too sad, and it didn't take long for her to follow. After this prince took care of his parents' funeral, he heard it carefully from somewhere, and it is said that the matter of the second master of the Wang family has taken a turn for the better. It's just that he needs to make more silver! That's why Wang Gongzi went around selling his property. ”
"Then why is no one willing to buy this ancestral mansion of the Wang family?" An Quan then asked.
"As soon as he came, the old man and wife of the Wang family died one after another, and many people thought that he was unlucky. Second, it is said that the second master of the Wang family has offended the big people in the court, and many people are afraid of being hated by the big official in the court when they hear the news. The old man continued.
"It is said that the senior official in the court should not care about such a trivial matter!" An Quan was a little puzzled.
"Old decay is also hearsay. The old man explained.
An Quan still had doubts in his heart, and asked again: "Even so, it won't be that no one is willing to buy it, right?" Wang Gongzi is in urgent need of money, so the asking price of the house is not high. ”
Hearing An Quan's question, the look on the old man's face suddenly became a little mysterious, he looked around, stepped forward, and said, "I heard that the old lady of the Wang family is reluctant to leave her ancestral house. When Zheng Yuan went out to see the house before, he faintly heard the sound of someone crying. But he couldn't find anyone. ”
Ghosts?
The expression on An Quan's face became a little subtle.
Seeing An Quan's appearance, the old man thought he didn't believe it, and said again: "Don't believe it, guest officer, many people who are watching the house have heard the cry." ”
"It's not that I don't believe it!" explained Yaszumi.
The old man stared at him suspiciously, and said, "I don't think the guest officer looks like a local, you don't want to buy the Wang family's house, right?"
"That's not going to work, guest officer. If you want to buy a house, I have a good introduction. But this Wang family's house can't be bought, and it will cost you your life for nothing. ”
Seeing the old man persuading himself, An Quan said, "Why did the old gentleman persuade me not to buy it." I see that you are obviously an old acquaintance with Wang Gongzi, if I buy a house, won't it mean that I will do him a great favor?"
Hearing this, the old man was slightly angry and said, "You young man, you don't know how important it is. What is the cruelty of life, how can the old man be willing to do it?"
Seeing the old man's appearance, An Quan felt that he had said something wrong, and arched his hand awkwardly, and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Chen, I lost my words." ”
The old man waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
An Quan then turned around and left the bookstore.
Before leaving, the old man was still a little uneasy, so he chased him out and told him again.
......
"Anquan, you said we bought that house, what?"
After coming out of the bookstore, the little female ghost spoke up.
"Didn't you hear the old gentleman just now, is there a ghost in the house?" said An Quan with a smile.
"Your cultivation is so high, are you still afraid of ghosts?" the little female ghost sarcastically said to him.
