The Plough

Chapter 82

Views:

Guanjia is very lively.

It feels too ordinary to describe it with people coming and going.

If Ling Shu had to be summed up in one word, it should be a temple fair.

The gongs and drums were loud, and the voices were full of people. Wu Yangyang’s heads were divided into two groups. Some people were lining up with famous posters. Know what to look at.

Isn't this the same as a temple fair

Counting the days, from the time the letter was delivered to the time they came over, the old man should have been buried long ago, and the first seven may have passed. Yue Dingtang estimated that he could only rush over to kowtow at the old man's grave, but even if there was a funeral, the Guan family should not So much fanfare, it's as lively as a festival!

Looking at the expressions on the faces of these people, some had smiles on their faces, some were beaming, and they really thought that Fengtian City had moved the temple fair to Guan's house.

Ling Shu glanced left and right, and walked to the crowd on the left first.

"Master, what is this row?"

He probed and asked the old man in front of him wearing a cotton cap with two ears.

The other party is mysterious.

"Are you from out of town?"

Ling Shu: "Hey, yes!"

Double-eared hat: "You are lucky, on the day when Mrs. Huang came out to speak today, here, see if the person in front is not there, with a pen and paper in his hand, when he comes to you later, you and him If you want one, write your birth date in eight characters, then put it in your pocket, and when it's your turn, quickly ask Mrs. Huang what you want to ask."

Ling Shu: ? ?

"Wait a minute, uncle, isn't this family's surname Guan?"

"Hey, you kid, you don't understand what you say, that's Grandpa Huang, Bao Jiaxian, do you understand? Asking things to avoid disasters and exorcise evil spirits, it is very effective. Fourth Master Guan has a fairy fate, Grandpa Huang I just chose him, my neighbor came to ask once, but it works!"

Ling Shu: …

After asking for a long time, he finally figured it out.

The so-called Grandpa Huang is the weasel who became an essence, possessed the body of the destined people, and cultivated and accumulated Taoism through their good deeds and virtues.

That is to say, the fourth master of the Guan family was possessed by a weasel and became a well-known immortal!

This uncle with double-eared hat also listed to Ling Shu all kinds of efficacies and magic of Guan Siye.

For example, there is a family of children who cry constantly every night, not only crying but also talking nonsense in the middle of the night. Since the Yun family lives somewhere on the outskirts of the city, he was a member of the former Qing Ju people. Unfortunately, he was wronged and died. He was half dead, and he went everywhere to seek medical help, but he couldn't cure it, but he took a look at the fourth master of Guan, and the next day he returned to his original state and was alive and well.

For another example, a few years ago, a homicide occurred in a certain family, the husband died, and the suspect was the wife, but the wife pleaded and complained in every possible way. I begged the fourth master of the Guan family to come forward. The fourth master of the Guan family made an extraordinary move. He took the suspect's relatives and friends to the suspect's husband's grave in the middle of the night to shovel the body. Under the spell, the body was returned from the underworld to the sun, and he spoke and told the truth. , it turns out that the real murderer is her husband's younger brother...

Click, click.

Binaural hats were so excited that Ling Shu listened with relish.

He didn't even know where to find a handful of melon seeds and gave half of them to each other, and the two of them chatted.

The uncle saw that this young man was very pleasing to the eye, and offered to let him follow him.

Ling Shu agreed with a single mouthful of sweetness.

"Master, you are really kind. You all say that people from the Northeast are refreshing. I have seen it now."

The double-eared hat was coaxed into a wide-eyed smile by him.

"Are you coming to Fengtian for business, or something?"

Ling Shu: "I'm visiting relatives. My friend's relatives have something to do with me. I'll follow my friend to kowtow to the elders."

Double-eared hat: "Yo, then you are good to your friend, and you have come all the way here, are you a friend of the world?"

Ling Shu ate a melon seed: "Almost."

Double-eared hat: "Where are your friends and relatives? Did you find them? There is no place in Fengtian City that I am not familiar with. If you can't find it, you can ask me!"

Ling Shu: "I found it, isn't this a visit?"

"Why are you... visiting?"

The double-eared hat was puzzled at first, and then raised his finger and pointed to the Guanjia plaque above his head.

"This? Guanjia?"

Ling Shu smiled and said, "Isn't that the Guan Family?"

Binaural Caps:…

Ling Shu: "Let me tell you, this friend of mine is a close relative of the Guan family, not a relative who can't be beaten. Their old man passed away. My friend came to see on behalf of the family. I heard that the Guan family has a great business. The wealthy and high-ranking family, looking at it now, it is really unusual, I said uncle, look at your reaction, why are you not envious?"

A pair of ear hats: "... I envy my ass! How messed up the Guan family is, you can see for yourself, the family is not a family, there is no distinction between upper and lower, not long after the old man of the Guan family was buried, the door of the house looks like a temple fair, Decent?"

Ling Shu almost laughed: "Then didn't you just say that Guan Siye is very effective?"

Double-eared hat: "Hey, you child is ignorant! I said that the fourth master of Guan is efficacious, and it does not interfere with these. It is Huang Daxian, not the Guan family who has the effect! The others are really outrageous, have you seen the stall next to you?"

Ling Shu: "I saw it, I was about to ask you, what's going on? Could it be that the Guan family has two immortal families?"

The two-eared hat master said: "Of course not, the five brothers of the Guan family, except the fourth master of the Guan family, the rest are ordinary people, but the master of the Guan family has always been obsessed with Buddhism, eating fast food every day, chanting Buddha, and raising altars. Practice..."

"Wait a minute, uncle!" Ling Shu had to interrupt him, "The practice of eating fast and chanting Buddha and opening an altar, Buddhist and Taoist schools, I'm afraid they are not compatible, right?"

A pair of ear hats: "You think it doesn't match, people are quite beautiful themselves, no, in order to fight with the fourth master Guan, Master Guan found a few monks and Taoists from nowhere, saying that they are local eminent monks and Taoist priests, but I didn't listen to them. I've heard that there is a practice of praying there, and it is said that people are given peace talismans, write blessing characters, and drink talisman water for healing, what a mess!"

Ling Shu: "Is the peace talisman expensive?"

A pair of ear hats: "No money, free gift!"

After he said that, he gave Ling Shu a look at the cuff, where a yellow corner was exposed, but it was not exactly the appearance of a talisman.

Ling Shu: …

"You dare to bet on both sides, so you don't lose?"

The double-eared hat said twice: "What do you know, anyway, you don't need money, don't want it for nothing, what if it's okay? Of course, I definitely believe in Fourth Master Guan, don't say it, in case Grandpa Huang finds out , If you think I'm being dishonest, don't show it to me!"

Ling Shu: "What do you want to ask Guan Siye?"

Speaking of this, the conversation about the amphora suddenly lost half of it.

"My little grandson is sick, and I can't look at it well. The doctor said, hey, it's not a good thing to say. We were desperate, so I thought of trying it here. I have many grandsons, but this little grandson is the most lively and likable. One of them, God bless, he has to get better!"

The smile on his face was gone, his hands clasped together, and he lowered his head and muttered to himself, no longer had the enthusiasm that he had just talked with Ling Shu.

"Ling Shu."

A familiar voice came from not far away.

Ling Shu turned his head.

Yue Dingtang had come back from the crowd on the right, and there was a middle-aged man in a gray robe beside him.

Ling Shu touched his nose, he was really interested in seeing the celestial relationship of the fourth master of Guan.

"Ling Shu, come here."

Seeing that he didn't respond, Yue Dingtang called again.

Ling Shu had no choice but to say goodbye to the binoculars and walked over.

"You stood there for a long time, what were you talking about?" Yue Dingtang frowned, "I just called you a few times and didn't hear you."

Ling Shu said truthfully, "I'm waiting in line for Fourth Master Guan to ask him something."

Yue Dingtang twitched the corners of his mouth: "What intractable diseases do you have?"

Ling Shu laughed: "I want to ask when I will be able to rise to prominence, and when my sister will be gentler, especially towards me."

"Don't fool around!"

Yue Dingtang reprimanded softly and introduced him to the middle-aged man beside him.

"What's the matter? Several generations have been working in the house. He's here to pick us up."

While Yue Dingtang was speaking, Director He was also observing Ling and Yue.

The two are of similar stature, and the young master of the Yue family is a little taller, but they are both Yuan Ting Yue Zhi and arrogant talents.

The Yue family and the Guan family had not communicated with each other for many years. Occasionally there was a letter, but they were politely estranged and dealt with it.

The Guan family is far away in the Northeast, and I don’t know much about the Yue family, except that the Yue family got along well in Shanghai. Although the previous generation passed away early, the three young masters of the Yue family are all outstanding, social elites. rise.

Looking at it now, Yue Dingtang's outward bearing has confirmed this statement.

In contrast, the peers of the Guan family are much inferior.

More than a lot less.

Mr. He sighed secretly, but a smile appeared on his face.

"Young Master Yue, Mr. Ling, please come with the villain! The door is a little chaotic today, which made my family laugh. I should have picked you up at the station yesterday, but something happened at home, so this... "

Yue Dingtang and Ling Shu followed him to the side door.

It wasn't because the Guan family was deliberately neglectful, but the crowd at the main entrance was so crowded that they couldn't get in.

The inside is wide open.

The courtyard, which has entered and exited several times, is no lower than that of the old palace. Although there are occasional cracks in the moss on the corners of the steps, and the red paint on the pillars is gradually fading, the bottom of the house when the Guan family moved to Fengtian can be seen.

It's just this kind of house. Now many trendy people are unwilling to live in it. Even the Yue family lives in small single-family houses.

Wherever Ling Shu and the others went, some people were in a hurry, some were making loud noises, it was not much quieter than the outside, until after the atrium, the population was a little less, and they finally had time to take a good look at the house.

It's just that there are a lot of people gathered in the flower hall, and the noise is getting louder, like quarreling and arguing, one person is loud, the other is roaring, and the voice is higher than the other, and the tone fluctuates, like singing.

Ling Shu couldn't help but stop, and was about to take out the seeds from his pocket.

As soon as his fingers pinched the melon seeds, Yue Dingtang pressed his thin white wrist, and the other party glared at him like a prophet.

Ling Shu looked innocent.

"What's the matter?" Yue Dingtang asked Mr. He.

Mr. He smiled bitterly: "It's the eldest master and the fourth master. The two seem to have some quarrels. Let's go inside first, the second master is waiting for you!"

More than a quarrel, Ling Shu saw one person throw a fist at the other person's face.

Is this a real brother? Those who do not know can be regarded as revenge for killing their father.

It really complied with the words of the bucket hat-

Chaos, too much chaos, just chaos!

The author has something to say:

ps, about the two small details mentioned by the readers in the previous chapter, let's unify them. 1. The name of Beijing is for the purpose of unifying the front and back, and it will not be changed. If it is Beijing or Peiping for a while, readers will be confused. 2. The year of Puyi's restoration, here refers to the time when the puppet Manchukuo was established, not from Puyi's "ascension", so the last year in the text should be 1932, and the "now" in the text is 1933.
