Chapter 118 Unspeakable

"The yard doesn't belong to me either. The price is really quite a lot. It has to make the homeowner feel at ease, and it's also good for the master's reputation."

Sanskrit shook his head at Qian Zandian's words, "The sale is voluntary, and we didn't force him, so what about the other two houses? What are the prices?"

Qian Zandian was stunned, the co-author of this lady still wants to shop around?

"The other is a three-entry house with no side yard and a bookstore. The price is 50 taels a year."

"Why is it more expensive than this?" Sanskrit was stunned, and Qian Zandian said in a low voice, "Because that house is on the street in the backyard of Household Member Wai Lang's house..."

Fanyin looked at the sky with blank eyes, "Is there another one?"

Qian Zandian didn't think about it, and she continued to ask. In fact, he just mentioned three houses in order to show how busy he was with running errands. In fact, he only saw these two houses. Who would know the family of Mr. Yang? Is it so difficult?
He has also seen a lot of officials who have entered the capital. People who have just stepped into the gate of the capital pay attention to everything in a smooth manner.

It was just such a difficult job, and finally let him meet...

Qian Zandian was hesitant to say anything, it could be seen that Fanyin was staring at him all the time, he racked his brains to remember something, and said mysteriously: "Don't go to that house, in fact, I didn't ask about it before. Clearly, I found out later that someone died there.”

"Has someone died?" Caiyun shrank behind Fanyin in fright, and Qingmiao also turned around in disgust.

Qian Zandian hurriedly said: "Yes, it used to be the mansion of a Beijing merchant. Later, his mother passed away, and the family lost money in business, so they wanted to sell it. Originally, they thought that the price was right there, but I didn't expect this to be the case. , or don’t go.”

"How much is that house?" Sanskrit asked, the corner of Qian Zandian's mouth twitched, "Ten taels."

"One year?" Sanskrit pondered for a while, "If he sells it, how much will the whole house cost?"

Qian Zandian's face twitched, "Miss, who is willing to buy this house? It's unlucky, even though it is a large courtyard with three entrances, and it also has side yards, bookstores, gardens, and ponds, no one is willing to buy it." With this bad luck, let alone ten taels of silver, no one would rent five taels of silver."

"That's all!" Sanskrit smiled slyly, "I'll trouble Uncle Qian to ask him if he's willing to sell this house? I'll buy it for 30 taels of silver."

"Three, 30 taels." Qian Zandian only felt that the set of tea and porcelain in his hand was very difficult to handle. He originally thought that serving a new director would get some benefits, but who knew he would encounter such a difficult one.

Life, it's all life!

Qian Zandian also went out of his way, and asked the servants to run errands to find that person, and they couldn't stand at the gate of the city. After Yang Zhiyuan and Fang Jingzhi returned, they went to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and they were also waiting.

Hearing that his daughter was going to buy the dead man's house, Yang Zhiyuan was surprised and happy, "Okay! My daughter has the final say!"

Qian Zandian choked on a sip of water and coughed in his throat for a long time before finally recovering. He planned to discuss with Master Yang, but pushed the matter away, but who would have expected Master Yang to agree so readily? up?
Fang Jingzhi was also a little surprised, "Sister Huailiu, is this okay?"

"Not good! I'm scared!" Er Fatty pouted from the side, and Sanskrit was staring at him, so he muffled his voice and muttered, "I, I don't dare to sleep by myself, I have to find someone to accompany me."

"There's nothing wrong with it. I've got my way. The five elements reincarnate and yin and yang restrain each other. Not all houses that have died are unsuitable for people to live in. Who hasn't had a few elders who have died? I have gone to many places, and it’s not like I don’t know how to do rituals of salvation, I’m not afraid of the youngest, but you are still afraid?”

Sanskrit's words made Er Fatty say, "I'm the youngest."

"You're a man, so if you dare to say anything, I won't beat you." Sanskrit twisted his ear. Although Er Fatty didn't feel pain, he pretended to be in pain, hey a few times, and followed him to the capital. He had no right to speak, so he could only vent his timidity by eating sullenly.

Fang Jingzhi was a little stunned when she saw Sanskrit's fierce appearance, how could she look so good-looking even when she was angry...

Qian Zandian has lost his way, and he can only hope that the servants he sent will not find the owner of the yin house.

As soon as he finished thinking, he saw the servant rushing over, with a ragged man behind him, who looked about 50 or [-] years old.

Qian Zandian just felt that today was not his auspicious day, no matter what thought came into his mind, it would be the opposite, so he simply didn't open his mouth, and just let the Sanskrit sound come forward to negotiate with the owner.

Fang Jingzhi watched from the side, and said to Yang Zhiyuan: "Sister Huailiu has changed."

"It's been more than three years, and you've changed. Are you okay studying in Beijing now? Lianglin Academy is still very famous. It used to be the place I dreamed of when I was a student." Yang Zhiyuan didn't appreciate Fang Jingzhi's words. meaning.

Fang Jingzhi's eyes still did not leave Sanskrit, "She has become better looking."

"En, huh?" A trace of astonishment flashed in Yang Zhiyuan's eyes, and he turned his head to see Fang Jingzhi's bewildered look, feeling indescribable in his heart, so he could only pretend he didn't hear it.

Has this kid taken a fancy to his own daughter?

Yang Zhiyuan looked at Fengrui, who was bargaining with Fanyin, and thought about her hardships over the past few years, his eyes filled with love, a family of daughters begged, and Huai Liu was also old, but this marriage, he might not be able to do it Master, even if she wants to be the master, the girl has to be willing in her heart.

Patting the one tael of silver in his pocket, Yang Zhiyuan decided to be a blind man, and whoever wants to marry his own daughter should try it himself, and then pass the hurdle of being a father.

Fanyin chattered about the price, and finally bought the mansion at a price of 28 taels.

Qian Zandian was already staring blankly at the side, because the young lady Yang just talked to him quite politely, seeing the owner of the house wanting to hit him head-on to death, his liver was trembling along with it.

The price has been negotiated, and all that remains is to transfer the house deed to Yang Zhiyuan's name. If this procedure is troublesome for others, it is much simpler in front of Yang Zhiyuan. Just take it to the county government to go through the process. There is no need for inspection.

Qian Zandian didn't want to entangle with Master Yang's family anymore, so he offered to help with the house deed.

Yang Zhiyuan didn't keep him either, he thanked him a few times and let him go, the servant led everyone to the newly bought house.

Fang Jingzhi couldn't help but wondered when Sanskrit asked the boy to buy coarse salt particles, "Sister Huailiu, what are you going to do?"

"Exorcise ghosts." Sanskrit said very slyly, "Aren't you all afraid, after you drive them away, you don't have to be afraid."

"Is there such a way?" Fang Jingzhi took it seriously, "What's the mystery in this, tell me quickly and listen."

Sanskrit held back a smile, "Mystery? That's what the Buddha said, don't say it, don't say it."

"You can't say it..." Fang Jingzhi raised her eyebrows, "When did the Buddha say this? Which classic did it come from?"

"Not to be said."

"You can't say it, but where did this sentence come from?"

"Not to be said."

"..."

"arrive!"

This is a well-behaved three-entry courtyard, which is much larger than the three-entry courtyard in Qingcheng County.

The first courtyard is a row of north-facing houses, and it is also a serious meeting place. The Erdaoyuan is a promenade with hanging flower gates, and there are three steps of wooden carvings on both sides. Don't worry about it, you can arrange it yourself later.

The main room with the second entrance door is very deep, which is where the owner lives. The long corridor of the hanging flower door is also connecting the east and west wing rooms with the main room, forming a swinging gourd-shaped pattern.

Then enter a yard, half of which is a pond pavilion, and half of which is a place for leisure and study.

Especially the tall sycamore tree and the row of hibiscus trees covering the gazebo, the beauty of a few hibiscus petals falling in the breeze, made Fanyin fall in love with this place immediately.

There is a bookstore between the east side courtyard and the main courtyard, where Er Fatty and Liu An were arranged, but when the boy heard that he wanted to live alone, he quit, "I won't do it, I'm afraid of the dark, I don't sleep alone !"

"Where's Liu An?" Sanskrit looked at Liu An, "Have you brought the coarse salt you ordered to buy?"

"Miss, what do you do with this thing?" Fanyin watched him bring half a sack of coarse salt, and ordered, "Smash it hard in every room, all the corners and the center will be fine!"

"Is this exorcising ghosts?" Liu An expressed doubts about Fanyin's words for the first time.

Sanskrit nodded, looked at Yang Zhiyuan who was looking around and nodded with a smile, "Father, do you mind that this yard is very dark?"

"A son who doesn't talk strangely, behaves and sits upright for his father, what's so scary?" Yang Zhiyuan didn't care about it at all, Sanskrit looked at Qingmiao who was sneaking around, "Aunt Miao, are you afraid?"

"I, what am I afraid of..." Qing Miao glanced at Yang Zhiyuan, "Master is not afraid, and neither am I."

"Are you afraid?" Sanskrit looked at Er Pang, Er Pang shrank his neck, "As long as you don't let me live alone, I'm not afraid, I'm a male..." There are no front teeth, and the last word is not clear.

"Then don't sprinkle this bag of coarse salt, just save it if you're not afraid!" After Fanyin finished speaking, Liu An immediately took it and ran to sprinkle it, "I don't feel tired, I'd better sprinkle it once, let's go!"

Liu An ran away in a flash, and Liu's mother should follow his son to work.

The Sanskrit voice asked everyone to work together to put all the things together. Fang Jingzhi looked at Zhu Jiu who was following him, "Go back and tell your father that Master Yang's family has been settled."

Zhu Jiu had been acting like a mute in the back and kept silent, but Yang Huailiu automatically ignored him, treating him like air.

If it wasn't for this kid talking nonsense back then, how could Mrs. Fang have such a big opinion of her?It's just that he didn't expect that he was still following Fang Jingzhi so far.

Zhu Jiu's heart has been overwhelmed and awkward for a long time. Although he is now three or four years old and knows what happened before, he still can't understand the Yang family. If his wife hadn't told him to follow, He will not come out with the young master.

Now being sent back to spread the word, Zhu Jiu went out without saying a word, slandering her stomach, and when she arrived at the county magistrate's house, she saw Chang's mother going out.

"Where's the young master? Why did you come back by yourself?" Chang's mother didn't see Fang Jingzhi, so she stopped Zhu Jiu for questioning.

Zhu Jiu said angrily: "Everyone from the Yang family has arrived, the young master went to pick them up early in the morning, and then went to the ghost house. Alas, I'm afraid I'm having a good time!"

"What ghost house? Don't talk nonsense."

Chang's mother knew that Zhu Jiu was not getting along with the Yang family, so Zhu Jiu was not happy, "How dare you talk nonsense, you little one? The house with dead people in the east corner, why isn't it a ghost house? People from small families just don't hesitate These, in order to save some money, even buy such a dilapidated house," Zhu Jiu pretended to be trembling, "I dare not stay there any longer."

Mother Chang was startled, "Is what you said true?"

"Dare to lie to you, I'll take your head off and let you sit on the bed!" Zhu Jiu vented a few words, and hurried to send a message, "Master, come and ask me to come back and send a message to the master, so hurry up."

"Go, the master is in the yard." Chang's mother said, and couldn't help adding, "Dust yourself, don't get too close to the master!"

"understood!"

As Zhu Jiu said, the person had disappeared.

Chang's mother also began to mutter in her heart, and went back to the back house hesitantly, just as Mrs. Fang was wiping the placed Buddha offerings.

"What's the matter? What's the matter?"

Mrs. Fang has also aged a lot in the past three years. When she followed Fang Jingzhi to Beijing, she was indeed introduced by Zhong Xingyan to meet Mrs. Zhong Feng. It's not Qingcheng County, but this is the capital city. Even though her natal family is of good background, she is only the wife of a third-rate official, and she can't take the big stage.

He was flattered all day long, trampled everywhere, and because of the unknown faction of his master, he suffered a lot of runs and plots...

In three years, she seemed to be ten years older, and she even had a few white hairs on her temples. Now that her master has stabilized her official position, she has no intention of showing her face to be angry, so she devotes herself to the Buddha all day long, only expecting Fang Jing As long as she can be promising and gain fame, she is satisfied.

Chang's mother looked at her and stayed for a while before saying, "The Yang family has arrived."

Mrs. Fang paused for a while, "You mean to say that Jingzhi went to see that girl again?" Fang Jingzhi was detained by Mrs. Fang all these years and was not even allowed to write letters at will, because she was afraid that he would still have contact with Yang Huailiu.

Chang's mother nodded, "Young master is kind, but it's been three years, so it's just a fresh idea."

"Just now when Zhu Jiu came back, he said that the Yang family bought the house in the east corner. It is said that someone died in that house. Alas, I'm afraid it was Yang Huailiu's idea."

After Chang's mother said this, Mrs. Fang didn't respond, "People are much scarier than ghosts these days. What are you afraid of living in a ghost house? You can tell Zhu Jiu too. From now on, he will just follow Jingzhi and report back at any time. He kept his mouth shut and stopped talking nonsense about the people and affairs of the Yang family. Today, Yang Zhiyuan is the person that the master wants to use, and is the master's right-hand man. This is not Qingcheng County, and we are just ants by the river , even a bigger grain of sand can crush us to death."

Mrs. Fang's attitude towards the Yang family surprised Chang's mother, "I remember, I will tell him later."

"Go ahead, take some freshly produced umami and give it to the old gentleman of Lianglin Academy. Jingzhi is going to take an exam again. I also ask the old gentleman to give him some tips in his spare time, so that he can learn more about it." We live in the academy before an exam and don’t have to come back, we can trust the old man.”

Mrs. Fang's words made Chang's mother helpless, and Mrs. Fang still looked down on Yang Huailiu...

Zhu Jiu returned the message to Fang Qingyuan, and Fang Qingyuan sent him away, and ordered someone to reserve a private room in the restaurant, and later he would personally come out to greet Yang Zhiyuan's family.

Speaking of Yang Zhiyuan, Fang Qingyuan felt very conflicted, because he did not expect that this time it was the young master of Yuwenhou's family who came forward to accept his recommendation and let Yang Zhiyuan be directly transferred to the post of director of Jingzhong.

Now Yuwenhou can be said to be the most important general in the court. Although he is a military commander, there are definitely not a few civil officials and powerful ministers who follow him. Since ancient times, civil and military disagreements, he has changed his appearance. Last year, Yuwenhou A daughter entered the palace again and became the emperor's concubine, and even the queen gave in by three points.

The wind is too strong...

Since Fang Qingyuan came to Beijing, he has been oppressed by Mrs. Fang's brother-in-law, that is, Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

This matter was all due to the failure of Wen Xiyun's marriage with his son. He entertained the root cause left by Zhong Xingyan, but what can be done?He is just a county magistrate who has been erected. In fact, the county magistrate is in charge of everything big and small in the Beijing government. He can't even get in the way. Now that he has survived for three years, he is considered a little bit more secure, otherwise Nor would he transfer Yang Zhiyuan to Beijing Central without spending money and begging for help.

He lacks a right-hand man and a person who can follow him wholeheartedly, and this person is none other than Yang Zhiyuan.

It was still the original reason, because there was no one behind Yang Zhiyuan.

But Yu Wenxin's recommendation made Fang Qingyuan hesitate, and now many people think that he is also a member of Yu Wenhou's subordinates after passing down his password, which makes it very difficult for him to do so.

Fang Qingyuan also had the intention of joining Yuwenhou's command, but that was voluntary refuge, not forced to follow now.

There is still a big difference between active and passive, one is voluntary, the other is forced, this is a knot in the bottom of my heart.

The Yang family had just settled down in the mansion in the east corner, and Yu Wenxin had already heard the rewards from his subordinates.

"Dongjiao?" Yu Wenxin's thin lips were pursed tightly, and the guard said: "Yes, it is that family, that businessman lost his business, fell into a lawsuit and owed debts, and his old lady died in that house. Sell ​​the property, and sell this house at a low price."

"Oh, you missed one thing, that house is also very close to the Zhongfu." Yu Wenxin said, and the guard hurriedly said: "It's two streets away."

"Are you willing to live in a ghost house just to be closer to Zhong Xingyan?" Yu Wenxin said to himself, making the guards dare not answer casually. Since he came back from Qingcheng County with his son, he He has been in charge of keeping an eye on the dynamics of Qingcheng County and the Yang family...

"Okay, just keep staring, Yang Zhiyuan's every move must be carefully watched." Yu Wenxin didn't want to think of the girl who could make him angry.

Her ridicule often appeared in his mind, like a disgusting nightmare, which made him unable to find an outlet to vent.

"Yes."

The guards retreated, Yu Wenxin closed his eyes and meditated quietly, now that he has arrived in the capital, there is more time...

Fanyin didn't know that her so-called ghost house was so close to Zhong's house. At this time, she was following her father to the restaurant appointed by Fang County Magistrate to have a banquet, and she was more interested in finding out where the Fale Temple and the nunnery were. At the same time, she is going to find Mrs. Wu Nan at the first time this time, the sooner the better!
