Chapter 115: Ghosts but Mansions of Lian Ming

I don't know when the Confucian scholars under the world have also been divided into two factions, the north and the south, no one obeys anyone, but faintly the Confucian students in the south are better than the north, even seventeen years ago, the world was unified, this situation has not changed at all, that is, the imperial imperial examination, but also divided into the north and the south!

Such a major event naturally did not come out of thin air, just because of the scientific expedition in the second year of that day's hunting, dozens of people on the list turned out to be all scholars from the south, and those Confucian scholars in the north were all named Sun Shan. As soon as such a thing came out, the northern scholars were naturally not convinced, and the imperial court had no other way, so they could only divide this scientific examination into the north and south.

In the past, when the area south of the Yangtze River was still under the jurisdiction of Nanshu, the wise Holy Emperor of Nanshu did not pay too much attention to these Confucian scholars who chanted poems all day long, and were full of words. I don't know if this place south of the Yangtze River has a god-given aura, or because of those beautiful mountains and mountains, even if His Majesty has not paid attention to it, there are no fewer talented people here, and in this Yangcheng, on the Huai River that goes on all night, under those winds and snows, the stories of talented and beautiful women are naturally only a lot.

Xu walked all the way, his body was tired, and there was nothing in his stomach, and the old and young who had just entered the city also found an ordinary inn in this Yangcheng. As soon as the two of them entered the inn door, they also saw a person, dressed in gray linen clothes, thinking that he was also a little guy in this inn, and greeted him with a smile on his face, and said: "Two guest officers, do you still live in the hotel?"

Before the words fell, when the two approached, the little guy also saw the clothes of the two people clearly, the smile on his face was no longer there, and before the two of them could speak, the little guy also spoke again, with some disgust on his face, and said: "It's early in the morning, and there are no leftovers, if you want to eat, come later." After that, he was about to turn around and leave, but he also muttered in a low voice: "I met two beggars early in the morning, but I was really unlucky." ”

Although this little guy didn't have much courtesy, but the two of them didn't show the slightest bit of anger, after all, the first thing a cultivator cultivates is his own heart! The young man didn't stop the little guy, but just said: "Naturally, I won't come here to stay here early in the morning, but I don't have anything in my stomach, so I come here to eat!"

Hearing this, the little guy also stopped, turned to look at the young man over there, looked at the disdain, and said: "Use some food? Do you have money? You must know that eating the overlord meal in our Yangcheng is also an official!"

The man smiled on his face, he was not angry, but he just opened his mouth to explain: "Little brother just entertains, and this silver tael will naturally not be short of you." ”

"Well, find a place to sit down. What to eat?" Seeing such a look, the little guy was also impatient.

The two of them also found a table at random near the door, and they didn't need the little guy to clean it up, so they also sat down and turned over the tea bowls on the table, and the little guy could only fill the two with tea when he saw this. Picking up the tea bowl and taking a sip, the young man also said, "Two bowls of somen noodles are fine." ”

When the little guy heard this, he nodded in response, and then turned his head to the back and said loudly: "Two bowls of somen noodles." ”

Before he could hear any sound behind him, the little guy had already left the table where the two men had left.

After the two of them sat down, people came in the inn one after another, and the little guy didn't deliberately clean up, and his face was full of smiles, and he stepped forward to meet those individuals. I think most of those people are also frequent customers here, and for these old customers, the little guy is naturally familiar with each other.

"Hey, Boss Li is here, this son has already been left for you. ”

"Yo, Liu Yuanwai is also here, but I haven't seen you for a few days, and the seat has been vacant for you. ”

"Uncle Wang, you came at the right time, the crystal shrimp dumplings you love to eat have just come out of the pot at the back!"

Those individuals also nodded to the little guy one by one, even if they had said hello, they did not deliberately look for it, and they walked to their respective seats very familiarly. At this moment, there was also a person in front of the table of the old and the young, an old man, who was also coarse linen, looking at that appearance, he thought that he would be sixty or seventy years old.

"Excuse me, Xiao Lao'er has been using morning tea here for decades, and he has no appetite elsewhere, can you let Xiao Lao'er sit here?" the old man also spoke, and naturally had a smile on his face.

"Why should the old brother be polite, just sit down. It was the older man who spoke, and he pulled the old man out of the stool under the table, and gently brushed the dust off the stool with his sleeve, and motioned for the old man to sit down.

"Little old man, thank you first!" After that, the old man also sat down with a low body, and then raised his head again, looked at the little second brother and shouted: "Little second brother, you are still a few old!"

"Oh!

Yangcheng people like to call breakfast as morning tea, if it is a foreigner, it is naturally an accident, but it is just a few things in the stomach, and what strange things can be born! But if you have seen the food on the table and in front of the three people, you will also understand why this breakfast has become morning tea.

I saw that in front of the old man and the young who came in before, there was just a bowl of somen noodles, clear soup and little water, except for those noodles, the rest was just a few green vegetables. Look at the old man who came in later, in front of the big cage and small drawer, all kinds of breakfast, those eating looks also good-looking tight, willow green and red, that red, more colorful than the peach blossoms nowadays, and that green, greener than the willow branches outside the door. Look at the cage next to the drawer, there are all kinds of dipping sauces, more than a dozen dishes of different sizes, which are dizzying! Look at the other tables around you, those breakfast styles, compared to the old man's front, there are only a lot more.

Yangcheng people's breakfast, not only for the sake of satisfying, but also a kind of enjoyment, and fun, in this inn, those guests who use breakfast talk about the world, for a while talking about the strange and interesting rumors in the market, and then talk about the various rumors in the south and north of the South China Sea that day, and then there will be a few people to argue about those rumors, that's how you say, I interject, this inn is also very lively.

"Have you heard, in this Yang City, there are monsters!"

"Monsters, isn't that in the north? There are two wish temples there, how can those monsters pass through the north city, let alone come all the way to us. ”

"Naturally, it's not those monsters in the north, I heard that they are ghosts turned into people!"

"I haven't heard of this yet, tell me, what's going on. ”

"I've also heard from others, and it's been a few days, why hasn't Lord Liu been out of the house for a few days? It's because there are harmful ghosts in his Liu Mansion, and I heard that people have already died. ”

The old man and the young man who came in earlier naturally heard the words of those individuals, so they also stopped what they were doing, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked up at the person who was talking, also thinking about listening to these strange stories in the city, but they didn't take it to heart.

That is, as rumored in the market, a large family somehow gave birth to a ghost and killed a few people, but no one has ever seen the appearance of the ghost with their own eyes, whether it is a person or a ghost, no one dares to determine. After all, this is the way of the world. If a living person has a bad heart, it is much more terrible than the ghosts of the dead.

On the same table, the old man who was using the morning did not put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, but he also heard the ghost in the mouth of the man, seeing that the old man and the young man were probably a little interested in this matter, and did not talk to him, but said softly: "That prefect Lord Liu is also an honest and honest official, how can he be involved in such a disaster!"

......

The smoke and willows are in the city, but the ghosts are born in the mansion of Lian Ming!
