Strange Tale of Qingluan

The little ghost's confession surprisingly settled the situation, Su Zhongming secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and secretly glanced at Ding Xuehou, but he did not please Ding Xuehou.He felt that he was right, that the man would give him face, and of course he didn't need to curry favor.On the contrary, Dingxuehou was praying for this favor in his heart at the moment.

The flattery appeared in front of him immediately, but it was a pity that the one who flattered him was not Su Zhongming, but that brat.The little ghost knelt in front of him, kowtowed and called him affectionately: "Master~~~ You can teach me calligraphy as soon as possible!" Ding Xuehou turned slightly sideways, and replied: "Wait until I move to the palace. Let’s talk when we live.”

The little ghost suddenly raised his head, and asked with great concern: "Then when will you move in?" Ding Xuehou was still not sure about this in his heart, so he just replied: "I don't know, let's take a look." The little ghost is only afraid that he will move in this time The verbal promise was perfunctory, and he hurriedly kowtowed to him several times, "Master~~~"

Su Zhongming stood aside and couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward in two or three steps, grabbed the kid by the back collar, and lifted him up, "I've testified for you, what are you afraid of, why are you in a hurry? Get up! Someone else moved Come in and stay here so I can teach you!"

Yitian lowered his hands without any resistance, his expression was like a bereaved dog, and his mouth was full of resentment when he opened his lips, "What is it to testify... and you can't eat it... woo..." Su Zhongming wanted to raise his hand to teach him a lesson After a while, but after thinking about it again, he felt that such an approach was really ill-treating the child, so he gave up, let go of his hand, and looked helplessly at Dingxuehou.

Dingxuehou said nothing, just walked to the table, took a look at the paper that Yitian had written on, and looked at each piece carefully, neither smiling nor speaking.Su Zhongming and Yitian glanced at him, and then looked at each other. Yitian approached Su Zhongming, and whispered to Su Zhongming, "What are you doing looking at my writing? My writing is worthless."

Hearing this, Su Zhongming raised his hand, gave him a pat on the head, and replied loudly without hesitation, "It's your luck that others are willing to read your handwriting carefully. What are you guessing?" Terrified, he looked at Ding Xuehou and found that he hadn't changed color at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Dingxuehou put down the script and did not post any comments, which made Yitian who was standing aside a little flustered.Su Zhongming asked him, "What can you research?" Ding Xuehou calmly asserted, "It's much better than your handwriting." Su Zhongming immediately became unhappy, snorted, and said, "I haven't learned it before." It is normal to write calligraphy like that, if you give me a ballpoint pen or a signature pen, I will definitely be able to write beautiful calligraphy!"

Yitian was curious about the unfamiliar words he mentioned, and asked: "What are ballpoint pens and signature pens?" Su Zhongming didn't intend to explain modern things to him, but only perfunctoryly said: "Anyway, you haven't seen it before, and you don't know what it is if you say it." I understand." Yi Tian scratched his head, becoming more and more confused.

Su Zhongming bowed his head down to the demon, and leaned close to Yitian's ear, "Didn't you ask 'your master' to teach you calligraphy? He is here, why don't you seize the opportunity?" After being reminded, Yitian came to his senses, busy and flattering. Xuehou smiled at him and said: "Master, since you are here now, why not... hehe... teach me calligraphy?"

"En." Dingxuehou immediately agreed softly without hesitation.Yitian was extremely happy, and quickly walked to the table, leaving Su Zhongming behind alone.Su Zhongming was stunned for a moment, but he didn't care. He raised the corners of his lips and smiled.

At this moment, the situation at Shenrao Mountain Villa, the main rudder of Mufeng Society, changed suddenly. A group of people quietly attacked the mountain, preparing to open the sand ring outside the gate of the main rudder of Mufeng Society.The children of Mufeng Club rushed into the meeting hall and reported the incident to the head of the honored seat, "Sect master, something is wrong, a group of people suddenly surrounded our door, threatening to fight with our door to death!" !"

Before Huang Yan could reply, Shangyuan He Xiang stood up and asked the person, "Who is so courageous?" He snorted and said, "How dare a mere confidant teach so much."

Luo Ying, the owner of the sub-rudder Xiangdong Pavilion, said indignantly, "Boss! Just let me take someone to meet her for a while, and tell her to kowtow a hundred times when she sees the children of Mufeng Club in the future!"

Huang Yan thought for a while, then slowly dissuaded: "Don't worry. Although it is a small sect, it would not be so bold to come to provoke. There must be some misunderstanding." He ordered the person who reported it , "You go and ask about the situation and come back."

The man replied: "My little one has already greeted her. The leader said that he wants Young Master Zi to come forward and explain something to her. If Young Master Zi doesn't come out to meet her for a while, she will lead the crowd into the villa."

"Then what are you waiting for! Call that kid out!" Timu hurriedly said.Shangyuan Hexiang smiled lightly, and replied: "As far as I know, he is not in the villa at all, but has gone out to wander." Ti Wu was so angry that he blurted out: "I knew this kid was half useless! When he came out, he ran outside to have fun!"

Huang Yan was still as calm as before, looking at the owner of Xiangdong Pavilion, "Luoying, send someone to Xiangdong Pavilion, maybe he is there." The owner of Xiangdong Pavilion replied: "Boss, trust me, Xiangdong Pavilion There has been no sign of him for the past few days!"

"Not in Xiangdong Pavilion!? Then where would he go? Could it be... because last time I reported him, he left in a fit of anger? If I had known that there would be such trouble today, I would not have reported him!" Timu was angry, but also somewhat remorseful.

Luoying couldn't help laughing at him, and gloated: "Oh, it's so funny! Last time he went to steal your medicine, you reported him, and it took a while, and now you regret it and worry about his whereabouts? You In this way, I really suspect that he was born by you and a woman outside!"

When Timu heard this, she immediately flew into a rage. What she hates the most in her life is that other people do not have his reputation, "I have never had a woman in my life, so I don't know where she is!" Luo Ying was so calm, even if she refuted Graceful, flirtatiously, "No, it's not, why are you so excited? You, you usually don't like him at the same time and worry about him at the same time. Could it be that you want to accept him as a disciple, so you are so worried? It's really pitiful." insect."

"You...you..." Tiwu was almost out of breath, and pointed at her angrily, but at the moment she was at a loss for words, so she could only stare at her and make fun of her.Unbearable, Huang Yan interrupted, "Shut up, all of you!" Shangyuan He Xiang glanced at the two of them, snorted softly, and then said to Huang Yan, "Father, it's time to What should I do?"

Huang Yan replied calmly: "Open the door, and invite Shang Yanhua to come in. Remember to treat her like a guest." Luoying thought about it, but she didn't understand, so she asked, "Why does the boss treat her so well?" Huang Yan said, "This woman once won the mantle of Tianfangren. Tianfangren and my master are close friends, so his successor should not be the best. Let her come in."

Two days later, Su Zhongming went out of the palace again and went to Dingxuehou's mansion. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the mansion and got out of the car, he saw many men and women coming out of the mansion carrying their burdens and then scattered. He was very puzzled. Hastily stepped into the mansion.After entering the deep courtyard, he saw some officers and soldiers putting antique calligraphy and paintings into boxes, and he couldn't get rid of his doubts.

"Excuse me, what are you doing? Are you raiding the house? Who ordered it?" Su Zhongming stopped a soldier and asked what happened.The little soldier said calmly, "It's not a house raid, it's a move! This morning, Lord Hou suddenly said that he would move into the palace according to the queen mother's wishes." Su Zhongming knew it in his heart, and asked, "What about your Lord Hou?"

The little soldier didn't know very well, so he just replied, "Should be packing things in this yard." Su Zhongming knew about it, so he stopped embarrassing him, and just looked around for people.After searching for the rooms in the courtyard, he finally ran to the study room, and in the study room, he saw the busy figure of Ding Xuehou—the man was taking books off the shelf.

Su Zhongming walked straight in, and said as he walked, "Can you pack so many books in one day? Move them all into the palace, do you want someone to build a special library for you?" Ding Xuehou asked Hearing his voice, without looking back, he flipped through the books in his hands, and put them under his feet again, "I just keep and move away the most interesting and worthwhile books for a lifetime, and give the rest to private schools in the academy."

"Then, that Nanfeng Village Palace Atlas, do you want to keep it or donate it together?" Su Zhongming immediately thought of that book, and took the opportunity to tease him.Ding Xuehou raised his head and looked at him, unexpectedly the answer was: "If you are interested, I can give it to you."

Su Zhongming not only didn't win the fight, but suffered a loss. His cheeks flushed, and he was slightly angry: "Who... who wants that kind of thing! I would rather you throw it into the fire pit and burn it." Ding Xuehou was still calm, He took down a few books, flipped through them and said, "I didn't buy that book, I copied it. I picked it up in Zuolinfang, but it was mostly soaked in water, so I dare not go to the neighborhood to buy it." Return a copy, so you have to copy the original. So, you can’t burn it.”

"You really want to stay!" Su Zhongming said outrightly, cursing him, but Ding Xuehou was not angry about this, and was still packing the books seriously.He replied to him, "There is no man in the world who doesn't want to stay. If there is love and affection, he will stay. Ask yourself, is there anything you have never done with me?"

"Huh..." Su Zhongming couldn't refute him, so he had to hum him.At the moment when he was free, he looked at the shelves that hadn't been cleaned up, and planned to help him, and asked him: "If you are like this, you haven't finished cleaning up after dark, tell me what kind of books you want to leave behind?" , I'll clean it up for you."

Ding Xuehou replied: "You should find what you like! You are not a worm in my stomach, how do you know which book I want to keep?" Su Zhongming refused to accept it, and said: "Historical collections, military books, you will always keep them. Shall I go?" Ding Xuehou replied: "Aren't these books packed up and put in the box over there?"

Hearing this, Su Zhongming looked at the door and saw two boxes standing nearby.He had no choice but to give in, "Okay then, I'll pick the book I like, and if I pick it, it will be my book, and you can't take it back." After finishing speaking, he began to wander among the shelves, picking and choosing.

After half an hour passed, Su Zhongming picked out a total of more than ten books, went around to a shelf, walked down slowly, and suddenly saw a book wrapped in a cloth towel under a stack of books, and stopped suddenly step.

It is this book, the Atlas of Nanfeng Village Palace mentioned earlier.Su Zhongming stood still, took it out without hesitation, opened the cloth towel, flipped through the pages of the book, confirmed that it was correct, wrapped it up again, put it in the more than ten books, and continued to walk down slowly .

At dusk, all the belongings that Dingxuehou kept were finally tied up in the car, ready to be sent to Miyagi.The mansion was about to be sealed, and the officers and soldiers began to rush away the servants who were still delaying to leave. Many servants left reluctantly with their burdens on their shoulders. Only one maid suddenly knelt at Dingxuehou's feet, crying and begging, " The slave family has not been working in the mansion for a long time, and I thought that the rest of my life would be worry-free, but now Lord Hou wants to move into the palace, how will the slave family live in the future?"

Su Zhongming turned his head when he heard the words, looked at her, then looked at Dingxuehou, and asked him, "What's going on?" Dingxuehou replied calmly, "Last time... it should be said that after the Shen family's happy event, Huirou felt that the mansion was short of manpower, so she recruited a few new ones, and she should be one of them."

Su Zhongming couldn't help the tearful pear blossoms in front of him for a moment, he showed kindness, and asked her, "Where are you from? I'll see if I can take you into the palace with me." The woman hurriedly replied : "My family is from Yinnan in Guisangliu Mountain. The life in my hometown is too hard, so I came all the way to Wangcheng to make a living."

"Liushan is indeed a bitter place, it is difficult to grow anything..." Dingxuehou couldn't help sighing.When Su Zhongming heard this, he felt more pity for the woman in his heart, and asked her, "What's your name?" The woman replied, "My family is called Chuncao, the green grass that grows in spring."

Su Zhongming burst out laughing, "Spring Grass—the green grass that grows in spring, what a good name!" When he was happy, he said to Ding Xuehou, "I think I will take her into the palace and let her be in Zhu Zhen. Sweeping the yard in the palace, supervising Yitian's studies and so on." Ding Xuehou neither objected nor agreed, and only replied: "It's up to you."

When the woman heard that she could enter the palace, she was very happy and hurriedly kowtowed to thank her.Su Zhongming ordered her to get up, and she stood up, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and followed them into the palace city.
