190: Something strange happened in Zhenjiang Mansion
The Song and Jin dynasties fought for many years, and the displaced people from other places moved south one after another, and a large number of officials, scholars, merchants, craftsmen, monks, and artists entered Lin'an, making Lin'an Mansion densely populated and victorious.
Before the evening of the lantern, each picks pine branches and bamboo leaves, knots in the thoroughfare, the day is hung with color, miscellaneous drainage tassels; the night is lit with lights, brilliant fire trees; and this night the lights of every house, everywhere orchestra, this night barricade street frolic, even sleepless; this night the grass is a dragon, enjoy the lanterns; this night is talented and beautiful, look at the full moon together.
Over the night of Lin'an City lanterns, the lanterns are all innovative, countless, but especially the "glass ball" and "Wanyan Luo" two things are the most cherished, often to order a few months in advance, the price is expensive, even ordinary businessmen can only sigh, and now Li Gongfu and Cen Biqing are each holding one.
Ten thousand eyes Luo, with broken Luo red and white to the middle of the brickwork, kung fu wonderful world, more than 10,000 eyes, there are 10,000 windows and dense eyes, a thousand gaps jade rainbow Ming said.
"Hanwen, I always thought that you would only prescribe prescriptions and catch medicines, and I didn't expect to compose poems!"
Li Gongfu lifted the "Ten Thousand Eyes Luo" in his hand and was amazed, such expensive things are unattainable with a year's worth of Yamen, and he didn't expect to use a poem to "exchange" it, and hung it on the eaves after turning the door, and after nightfall, he had a unique scene, and he said with admiration.
smiled indifferently and didn't answer, just because although the owner of the store hung this thing as a colorful head, he said arrogantly that this thing would not be changed, but Bao Wenzheng just remembered the ancient poems recorded in the "glass ball" and "Ten Thousand Eyes Luo", and saw that his wife Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing girl had a few more looks......
"Overlapping halos are seen again, the light is face-to-face, not deep and idle, and the competition is ......"
That is the delicate and pretty graceful girl, the "glass ball" in the hand is ingenious, attracting the frequent attention of pedestrians, at this moment listening to the admiration of the aunt Li Gongfu, but also the poem of Shicai read out again, the light voice of Wu Nong's soft words is extraordinarily pleasant.
"Lady, look over there!"
Bao Wen was carrying Bai Suzhen's soft wattle in his hand, and walked slowly with the flow of people in this Lin'an City, pointing to the ingenious "iron horse whirlwind" and said.
The iron horse whirling lanterns, less than three feet, are extremely exquisitely made, and the paper-cut inside is the white-faced Cao Cao, the long-haired Guan Yu holding the green dragon glaive knife, and the bearded Zhang Fei; Cao Cao is in front, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are behind, constantly rotating as if they are chasing after each other.
The candlelight shines through the vermilion paper-cuts, reflecting the red light on the thoroughfare, and also on the cheeks with bright eyes and bright teeth, and in the bustling crowd, the wonderful taste of peace and warmth fills Bai Suzhen's heart.
"Official, why does this paper-cut keep rotating?"
Bai Suzhen was originally a smart woman in Bingxue, and she was accompanying "Xu Xian" at the moment, but she asked knowingly, pretending to be puzzled.
"Presumably seeing that the lady is so beautiful, in order to take care of the lady, it is to keep rotating!"
Bao Wenzheng is a person with a lotus tongue, and at this moment, he has a smile from the heart, which is a half-truth and a compliment.
"Official!"
Bai Suzhen and the bustling crowd were inevitably a little shy, and said coquettishly, but their hearts were also full of joy.
“......”
Xu Jiaorong and his side looked at Hanwen and his younger sister Bai Suzhen, such sweet words were really envious of others, and then looked back at Li Gongfu, who was holding the "Ten Thousand Eyes Luo", and decided not to say such words, and the complaint in his heart couldn't help but intensify a little.
The flow of people in Lin'an City comes from all directions, from the bustling has reached the point of rubbing shoulders one after another, it is not easy to walk, and the "Ten Thousand Eyes Luo" and "Glass Ball" are cherished things, it is inevitable that there is some damage, after seeing the lanterns of this thoroughfare, the family will gradually go to the outside of Lin'an City.
At three o'clock, the bright moon hangs in the sky, the bright moon is sprinkled all over the dust, and the bright stars dot the night, and also reflect the picturesque West Lake, there are cruise ships and lakes swimming in the distance, the sound of the silk bamboo is faintly heard, there are black canopy boats drifting slightly with the lake, and the dead branches of the willows on the bank are slightly shaking in the wind.
In the night, the old boatman propped up the oars, and the canopy boat slowly sailed away from the shore and headed in the direction of Qiantang County......
At three o'clock in the sixteenth son of the first month, Gongjiapo, Dantu County, Zhenjiang Prefecture.
The dilapidated ancestral hall has been baptized by wind and rain, and the outline is vaguely recognizable in the night, the pine and cypress outside the ancestral hall have been planted for many years, and the mottled shadows of the trees are projected on the ground, adding a bit of elegance to this remote village.
The yin wind rose, blowing open the door of the ancestral hall, with a dull sound of "clang", the tablets enshrined in the ancestral hall began to tremble constantly, as if the earth dragon turned over, and then the dozens of tablets began to beat violently, and the sound of "popping" was connected together, and this was a solemn ancestral hall, which was weird and chilling......
In the old house adjacent to the ancestral hall, the five fingers could not be seen in the dark house, only the gasping sound on the bed gradually changed from flat to rapid, and the couple sleeping peacefully on the bed was still asleep.
"Son, there are monsters in the well of the ancestral hall, run, run!"
The clouds were faint and foggy, and the kind old woman floated to stand strangely in front of the bed, her trembling hands seemed to touch the sleeping young son, and her wrinkled cheeks had already burst into tears, and the call was still as familiar as before, but it was so eager and frightened.
"Mother, it's late at night, why don't you go to sleep peacefully?"
"Mother, you are an old fool, where will there be any monsters in our ancestral hall!"
In the confusion, it is so clear, the man who has passed the year of standing replied in his dream, but he has long forgotten that his mother has been buried in the ground.
A wolf-like howl faintly came, strange and poignant, as if it sounded in the ears, it seemed to be outside the door, and it seemed to be in Gongjiapo.
"Son, run, go to Jinshan Temple to find Zen Master Fahai, only he can get rid of the monsters in the well of the ancestral hall......"
The pale cheeks of the kind old woman suddenly appeared in shock, and her whole body could not help trembling, and the hasty words seemed to be as if a great calamity was coming, and the smoke suddenly became thick, and gradually obscured the familiar outline.
"Mother!"
An exclamation blurted out, and it was the sleeping man who was in a hurry, his body trembled suddenly, and he had already sat up from the bed.
The pitch-black house couldn't see the five fingers, where was the mother's voice and smile, and the weird center also swelled with a sense of loss, the man sighed heavily, and the clear scene in Shicai's sleep was always lingering in his heart, never dissipated......
"Daddy!"
The woman on the bed exclaimed, her body trembled violently, and she sat up from the bed, her cheeks were already rippling with tears, and the sound of sobbing was uncontrollable.
"Lady, lady......"
The man was waiting for a good life to be comforted, but before he had finished a sentence, he suddenly heard the barking of dogs in the village high-pitched, as if a thief had climbed over the wall and crossed the courtyard, and after a while, he saw a faint light outside the window lattice, and the sound of running footsteps and noise also rose.
"Bell....... Bell ......"
"Bell....... Bell ......"
The bronze bell of the ancestral hall reverberates melodiously in the noisy village, which is the bell that rings every time the villagers of Gongjiapo urge the villagers of Gongjiapo to go to the ancestral hall on the day of sacrifice.
Think about it day and dream night when you have it!
The absurd and strange dream can't be believed to be true, but Gong Jiapo's Li Zheng and the head of the household and the whole village all had the same dream, this thing is weird, could it be that the ancestors of the Gong family blessed their children and grandchildren, so the dream could not come true?
And when Gong Jiapo's Li Zheng and the head of the household came to the ancestral hall to burn incense, they found that the tablet enshrined in the ancestral hall was smashed for no reason, and the dust turned by the broken tablet clearly outlined the word "avoid"!
"Li Zheng, could it be that what he said in this dream is really true?"
The head of Gong Jiapo's household is already over half a hundred years old, and his figure is also a little rickety, holding a shaking torch at the moment, some generals asked suspiciously: "Could it be that there are really monsters in the well of this ancestral hall......"
The tone was a little hoarse, and there was a look of panic in the suspicion, the whole village had the same dream, and the tablet of the ancestral hall was smashed for no reason, such strange things were really unheard of.
“......”
Li Zheng looked at the broken tablets all over the ground, his face was cloudy and uncertain for a long time, and then he said ruthlessly:
"Find the stupid two cows who eat a hundred family meals and go down to the well to have a look!"
"He is not from our Gongjiapo, and he has lived in our Gongjiapo for a few months, so he should do something for the people of our Gongjiapo!"
Although Li Zhenghe is a small official, he is also in charge of Gongjiapo's guest supervision, and Gongjiapo is located in a remote area, and there is no senior position to hunt down thieves, if all this is just a coincidence, wouldn't it be "a big loss because of a small loss"!
