I am born with insufficiency

Chapter 107
Gu Buquan returned to Xichen Tea House in a daze, and found that there was an extra woman here, Wang Mashi.

"My dear fellows, have you met my husband, Wang Zesheng? He has been in the capital for six years, and he hasn't returned home yet."

Madam Wang asked everyone she met, took the family letter written by Wang Zesheng, and recounted her misfortune over and over again.

She stopped wandering around the city and spread out a tattered straw mat under the eaves at the corner of the tea house, rolled up a tattered mattress, and just settled down.

Probably because there are many scholars here, the hope of finding Wang Zesheng is higher.

"A family letter with a lot of typos, don't take it out and make it embarrassing."

Most of the scholars have empathy, but the scholar who loves to talk strangely began to respond to others in a strange way.

Wang Ma was furious, and said: "People who have seen it say that my husband's handwriting is good, and the letters are also quite literary. Where is there a typo?"

The scholar put his finger on the letter.

"Seeing the words is like face, and writing is like seeing the face. Such a simple word is written wrong, but still want to be on the scientific examination list? What is the dream of the future? Wang Zesheng may be a little self-aware, knowing that he failed the exam, but he has no face to go home and face it. Folks, I am ashamed to hide in a corner where I am.”

Mrs. Wang Ma was not angry when she heard the words, and said with a smile, "You don't know that. It's just because my father-in-law's name has the word Ru in it, and my husband is filial, so I avoided it on purpose. If there is such a word, I will change it to 被草The character Ru on the head is a letter from the family, so it is understood by my family.”

Gu Buquan's eyes widened, and the Ru characters in the letter were replaced by Ru characters, and he couldn't help but sigh that scholars have so many rules.If it were her, the master's name was Gu Quan, and her name was Gu Buquan, wouldn't it be a violation of the master's name taboo?
The scholar couldn't keep up with what Wang Ma said, and walked away awkwardly.

The Shangshu has not arrived today, and the scholars all packed up their pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and made an appointment to come and wait together tomorrow, and Wang Mashi also left disappointed.

The remaining one waited until the girl who was playing the piano to collect the piano, and Cha Xiaoer came out to close the door.

She walked around to the back of the tea house, there was a small door here, but the door was locked from the inside, and it couldn't be opened after several attempts.

"How to do how to do?"

Chen Chuzhi saw neither people nor dead bodies in his life, so he turned Gu Buquan around in a hurry, feeling like he was greedy for a hemp rope to eat his head, and he didn't even get his hands on the hemp rope.

Suddenly, the small door opened a crack, and a woman in green squeezed out from the crack, and the door was quickly locked from the inside.

The woman in green looked around for a while, then hurried away.

Gu Buquan recognized that it was the woman playing the piano in front of Xichen Tea House.

"Sneaky, what are you doing?" Gu Buquan immediately became alert.

Quietly followed closely behind, but went straight to the outside of the city.

"Luoyanpo?" Gu Buquan's heart was beating wildly.

It's getting dark, she came to Luoyanpo alone, what's the point?

I saw a man knelt on the ground in front of a new grave beside the Fujia tea tree, touching the stele and weeping.

Gu Buquan remembered that the four members of the Fu family were buried here, and the Jingzhao government government also dumped the male body here to save trouble, but Lizheng in Luoyanpo couldn't see him, so he kindly buried him, because he didn't know his name, No monument was erected either.

The woman playing the qin burned the paper, and comforted the man, "Since I have found Brother Ling, he has been buried in the ground and is at peace now, so your heart can be at ease too. Let's mourn."

"My condolences, but I will never change my mind." The man said coldly, "My brother came to Beijing to rush for the exam, not to die, besides, he died so badly, skinny, it looked like he was starved to death. If I don't avenge this revenge, how can I give up?"

"Revenge, of course you have to take revenge." The woman playing the piano patted the man's shoulder.

"There are twenty teahouses in the front hall of Xichen Tea House, three private rooms, one inner room, and a total of twelve large and small rooms in the backyard, where five assisted scholars lived. flaw."

"In addition, Shen Bai doesn't live in the tea house, but lives in another mansion in Nancheng. I also sneaked into it and checked it, and there is no flaw."

The man raised his head and said, "Not finding any flaws doesn't mean that there are no flaws."

"I also know that there are ghosts in Xichen Tea House, but I played the piano there for two days. If there are any flaws that haven't been found, I can only wait for the opportunity to continue to investigate. In Nancheng, you should bother to investigate again. .”

"Well. This is my private matter. I feel very sorry for asking you to help me like this."

"Don't say that, you and I have been born and died together for so many years, we are already relatives, your elder brother is also my elder brother, and your hatred is also my hatred. Don't worry, if you don't avenge this hatred, you will never give up.

"Then I will thank you here." The man slowly turned around and bowed deeply to the woman.

Gu Buquan was surprised at first sight.

"It's him?"

Gu Buquan recognized at a glance that the man was clearly a stranger who snatched her painting at the noodle stall and then asked about the whereabouts of the unknown man's corpse.

From his grief-stricken appearance and his conversation with the woman playing the piano, it is not difficult to hear that the unknown male corpse is his own elder brother, and he came to Beijing for the exam several years ago, and he does not know what went wrong. It came to such a miserable ending, no wonder the man is so dissatisfied.

The woman playing the piano obviously entered Xichen Tea House in order to find out the cause of death of the unknown male corpse.

Doesn't she know the whereabouts of Chen Chuzhi?
Just when Gu Buquan was excitedly wanting to step forward to inquire, a big hand behind her suddenly covered her mouth, and the other hand forced her to stand up just now.

"Xiaobai, if you stay alone in Xichen Tea House, you must be more careful, and you must not make any mistakes, otherwise I will never forgive myself."

The man took the woman's hand and said.

"Don't worry, Xiao Hei, I will be careful, and you should also be careful."

The woman spoke softly, but she obviously pulled her hand out of the man's.

The man was a little displeased, and said eagerly: "Xiaobai, wake up, Your Majesty will never have you in his heart."

"It doesn't matter whether he has me in his heart, as long as he has him in his heart." The woman said coldly.

The man didn't speak any more, the two kowtowed in front of the grave, and both left.

Gu Buquan just waited until he could no longer see their figures before struggling to escape from the man behind him.

"What do you want to do?" She asked angrily without looking back.

From the moment the hand covered her mouth, she knew it was Ling An.

"Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai, I seem to have heard of this name somewhere." Ling An did not answer Gu Buquan's question, but muttered to himself.

"Little black and white?"

Gu Buquan suddenly thought of Liming Bank in Maple Leaf Town, "Could it be that they are black and white?"

In Maple Leaf Town, this man and woman are either in black and white, or in the form of an old man and an old woman, but their real faces are so young and handsome, and that Bai Wuchang can play the piano well, which is really instructive. unexpected.

But Ling An looked puzzled, "Black and white impermanence, do I know them?"

In his memory, there is no Maple Leaf Town, let alone Liming Qianzhuang, and he knows nothing about black and white impermanence, but their aura is imprinted in his mind, so familiar that he is ready to come out.

I want to come out, but I can't come out!
"You don't know it, but the idiot does. The idiot fought them."

Gu Buquan gave him a blank look, and said, "The unnamed male corpse is Xiao Hei's elder brother, and that Xiao Bai is the piano-playing girl of Xichen Tea House. They so concluded that there is something wrong with Xichen Tea House, why don't you let me ask them, Big Brother Chen?" whereabouts?"

The figures of those two people had already disappeared on Luoyanpo, Gu Buquan felt more and more annoyed that he missed the best opportunity, how could the piano player be willing to answer her easily tomorrow?
Ling An didn't answer, but instead asked, "Brother Chen, who is he?"

Gu Buquan looked at Ling An's face, didn't speak for a long time, made up his mind, returned to the city, and resolutely parted ways with him.

He really isn't an idiot.

"No matter what, the unknown male corpse is finally buried in the ground."

Looking at the tombstone again, it was blank, and he was still nameless.

"How did this brother become a brother, and he didn't engrave his elder brother's name." Gu Buquan muttered.

Wait a minute, tombstone lettering?

Gu Buquan suddenly had a good idea, he must enter Xichen Tea House tomorrow.

Ling An watched her eyeballs rolling around, and seemed to have a familiar feeling in his heart, but his mind was still blank.

On Luoyanpo, Black and White Wuchang was condescending, looking coldly at Ling An and Gu Buquan.

"I thought I was very smart, but with her three-legged cat kung fu, how could she keep up with my sister Bai?" Hei Wuchang said.

Bai Wuchang didn't speak, but a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
