Chapter 239

Yao Hui hurriedly left the Yamen.

In fact, long before Zheng Shi looked for him, he had already noticed something strange.

When the demonic snake appeared on Su Miaozhen's body, there were dense dark clouds in the sky, which was extremely strange.

The clouds gathered in the direction of Beicheng. At that time, Yao Hui thought of all the strange things that had happened at home recently, and felt bad, so he turned around and went home without saying a word.

When I met Zheng Shi who came to look for him halfway, I just heard a strange neighing, and then the shadow of a snake rose into the sky.

In broad daylight, evil spirits appear in the world!
But before the two had time to speak, they saw a golden light flashing in a courtyard in the north of the city, and then a Confucian sage appeared like a hill, like a god, he caught the demon snake with his hands and feet, and killed it.

"It seems, it seems to be the direction of home..."

Zheng Shi looked into the distance and said something with a face full of panic.

"Maybe it's at home!" Yao Hui thought of his wife and daughter at home, and was very anxious. Seeing Zheng Shi here, he couldn't help being very anxious:
"How will you be here?"

He remembered that after Zheng Shi sent him to the Yamen, he drove home immediately, so he should be at home by now.

Now that he appeared here, he was clearly planning to go to the Yamen to find him.

Judging from the time, Zheng Shi may have something happened after he got home, and he immediately turned around to look for him.

Thinking about the previous vision again, Yao Hui's complexion turned pale, his teeth were clenched tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, and his expression became extraordinarily fierce.

"It's the master who came—"

After hearing his question, Zheng Shi finally woke up from the previous vision, and quickly explained the reason why he went out:
"On my way home, I happened to meet Master Liu."

When Yao Hui heard that his father-in-law had arrived, he immediately understood the reason why Zheng Shi went out.

Before he could open his mouth, he heard shocking voices coming from all over the city, and many people shouted 'City Saint', and at the same time ran to the north of the city like crazy.

Judging from this posture, if the people in the city rioted, the imperial court would definitely order the soldiers and horses in the six cities to martial law.

He clenched his fist, struggling extremely in his heart.

In just a short while, a large number of people had already run towards the north of the city, and when they passed by the two of them on the way, they didn't stop for a moment, as if they turned a blind eye to the two who were talking in the street. stand firm.

Yao Hui was wearing an official uniform, and the people of the Daqing Dynasty had to kneel when they saw the officials. In the past, if Yao Hui appeared in the downtown area, people would be intimidated, but at this time these people have already been stimulated by Confucian saints, so they don't care about other things. of.

"uncle--"

Just as Zheng Shi was about to speak, the sound of hurried and complicated footsteps came from a distance. Yao Hui's face turned green and pale, and he quickly made up his mind:

"You go back first, help me guard my wife and miss, and tell the young master for me. If there is something wrong, immediately go to the general's mansion to rescue the soldiers."

Although the Liu family at home is said to be of the generation of women, her temperament is extremely tough.

Being tough is good as well. She can be stable at critical moments, and won't fall into a situation where she has no master because of the lack of a man in the family.

The more chaotic this time is, the more she can arrange the house in a stable manner, and she will never let him worry about it.

As the commander of the Six Cities Army and Horse Division, he was on duty at this time.

If there is nothing to do in the yamen, it's fine to sneak back to the mansion.

Now there are visions in the gods, first there are evil spirits, and then there are Confucian saints, and the people inside and outside the city can see it clearly, and I am afraid that they have already been greatly stimulated.

If it is not handled well at this time, there may be a big mess, and maybe it will kill people.

Compared with his home, the safety in the city requires him to go back to the military and horse department to adjust the manpower and maintain it as much as possible.

Zheng Shi has been with him for many years, so he naturally understands his character. Hearing this, he responded and hurriedly drove the carriage back.

"Wait."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Yao Hui hurriedly called him back:
"If there is any emergency, please send someone to let me know."

Zheng Shi nodded, seeing more and more people, fearing that he would be stuck on the way back, he shook the reins and rode his horse towards Yao's house.

At this time, the city was in chaos.

The movement of the Yao family could not be concealed from the people around, and the relatives and servants of the nearby officials' families had already surrounded the entire Yao family.

The people who came to watch the holy statues simply knelt in front of the gate of Yao's house, shouting that the "sage of Confucianism" has come.

Zheng Shi couldn't drive home at all, so he had to make a compromise and first find the gatekeeper of a nearby neighbor's mansion who he knew well, and temporarily parked the carriage at someone else's house, then squeezed through the crowd and returned to Yao's house.

Under such a grand occasion, the door of Yao's house did not dare to open at all, and the fanatical crowd outside wanted to pay homage to the 'immortals', almost smashing the door of the house.

……

On the other side of the Wen family, when Mrs. Wen was still shocked by the previous strange scene, she heard Wen Jing coming and begging her to prepare a gift, saying that she would go to apprentice.

"Apprentice?"

The rapid heartbeat made her barely able to hear her son's voice, and the "gurgling" flow of blood made her hands and feet cold and her head dizzy.

"Correct!"

Wen Jingsui nodded:
"During the vision from the previous day, I sensed the breath calling me."

What he said was so mysterious that Mrs. Wen might not be able to understand it in the past.

But today, even more unreal things happened, and the fact that his son wanted to be a teacher did not seem so bizarre.

"It's just Gu Xiang's side—"

Mrs. Wen hesitated.

Wen Jing Sui read the Zhushan Academy run by the Gu family. He was young and intelligent, and he showed extraordinary talent when he was very young, and was praised by Gu Xiang.

Everyone in Zhushan Academy took good care of him, acquiescing that he was Gu Xiang's student.

If you change your court at this time and choose another husband, you may offend the Gu family.

"This is my destined teacher to preach and teach. The Gu family can only make amends in the future!"

Wen Jingsui agreed without hesitation.

Mrs. Wen has always been proud and trusting of her son, and has no doubts about his words.

Hearing what he said at this time, he was both surprised and happy.

What surprised me was that I didn't know the reason for the vision from the sky before, and who did it. I was happy that my son was indeed worthy of being praised as "Wenqu Xingxiaxia" when he was young, and he was able to get the inheritance in such a miraculous event. , it can be seen that the Wen family will surely flourish in the future, and Wen Jingsui's future achievements will be amazing.

She thought of this and nodded:

"I will send people to find out where the vision came from first, and then send people to find your father back. At the same time, I will buy a generous gift. We will go out when he returns home."

After the mother and son discussed it properly, Mrs. Wen asked the family servants to go out to inquire about the news.

At first, she thought it would take some effort, but she didn't know that as soon as Madam Sun, the nurse next to Mrs. Wen, went out, she saw that the alley outside the house was already crowded with people.

Many people wearing Confucian uniforms mixed in the crowd, bowed in one direction and shouted 'Confucian saints'.

The sound shook the sky, and the commotion was so loud that the neighbors were disturbed to go out and look around.

After questioning, I realized that the original golden light came from the Yao family.

Grandma Sun couldn't believe it, but kept in mind Mrs. Wen's order, and hurried back to the house. When she told her that the vision might come from the Yao family, Mrs. Wen was taken aback.

"Yao family?"

She raised her volume and became a little sharp:

"How could it be the Yao family? The Yao family are just rough people!"

In desperation, Mrs. Wen blurted out what was in her heart.

"Mother!" Wen Xianrong, who rushed over, heard his mother's voice before entering the door, and couldn't help calling out.

"Mother!" Wen Jingsui hadn't left yet, so he said:
"Do not say it that way!"

Mrs. Wen's unintentional remark unexpectedly attracted opposition from a pair of children.

That's all for Wen Xianrong, she and Yao Ruoyun are already engaged, the girl is extroverted, and she hasn't married yet, but her heart has already turned to the Yao family, so I don't want to hear her say bad things about the Yao family.

But when Wen Jingsui said the same thing, Mrs. Wen felt a little secretly uncomfortable in her heart.

Relying on her mother's instinct, she sensed Wen Jingsui's thoughts.

But she made a slip of the tongue first, so she didn't argue, but after being blamed by her son, she felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"I just said something casually, and you guys reacted so badly."

She rubbed her chest, squeezed out a smile, and said something lightly.

In fact, Mrs. Wen really felt that Nanny Sun's information might be wrong, "The Yao family has a simple population, and Mrs. Yao only has one son and two daughters."

It's not that she looked down on Yao Ruoyun, this future son-in-law has a good character and a gentle disposition, he knows everything about the Wen family and is a good match for her daughter.

But no matter in terms of academics or talent, he can't compare to Wen Jingsui.

The image of the saint that appeared earlier was obviously not something that an ordinary student could summon.

In addition, Yao Hui is indeed a martial arts practitioner who can only use knives and guns. That's why I was so surprised.

"It's the Yao family!" At this moment, Wen Jingsui suddenly spoke with a firm tone.

Seeing that his mother and younger sister had turned their heads, with surprise on their faces, he said:

"It's Nanzhao Liu and the boat, Mr. Liu!"

He liked Yao Shouning, and since he had made up his mind, he inquired about the relatives of the Yao family in great detail.

Wen Xianrong was puzzled at first, but when he heard the name 'Liu Bingzhou', his body shook.

Because Yao Shouning had inquired about 'Yingtian Bookstore' earlier, she had heard about the existence of 'Liu Bingzhou' from her eldest brother afterwards, and when she heard him mention it, she immediately remembered it.

"Liu Bingzhou? Shouning's grandfather? The one who participated in the 'Yingtian Bookstore' with the great Confucian Zhang Raozhi?"

Surprised, Wen Xianrong yelled out.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she thought that Yao Shouning had reminded her to keep the matter of 'Yingtian Bookstore' secret, so she quickly covered her mouth.

It's a pity that it was too late, Mrs. Wen and the others had already heard it clearly, and there was a look of remorse on Wen Xianrong's face.

"Liu Bingzhou? The Great Confucian Zhang Raozhi?"

Mrs. Wen was in a fog when she heard it, and felt that her heartbeat that had not recovered after being overly frightened became more rapid.

She still doesn't understand the reason, but Zhang Raozhi's name is known to all scholars.

The two families of Yao and Wen have already made a marriage agreement, and they still intend to marry each other. Mrs. Wen only knows that Mrs. Liu came from a scholarly family, but she doesn't know that Mrs. Liu's father is so capable, that he is as close as the late Confucian Zhang Raozhi such an intimate relationship.

Just when Mrs. Wen was in shock, Wen Xianrong remembered what Yao Shouning had mentioned with his brother and sister when he came to Wen's house a few days ago.

In addition to mentioning 'Yingtian Bookstore', she also mentioned that there are evil spirits in this world...

Unexpectedly, in just a few days, what she said came true.

Wen Xianrong subconsciously went to look at his elder brother, but saw that he looked out of the door in a daze, as if he was in a daze.

For some reason, she thought of Yao Shouning's reminder.

That day Yao Shouning reminded her: let the siblings be careful, saying that she had a premonition that something big would happen to the Wen family.

At that time Wen Xianrong didn't take it seriously, but with the emergence of the evil spirits, she felt that Yao Shouning's words might not be aimless.

"Brother..." Thinking of this, Wen Xianrong turned his head in a panic, but seeing his elder brother looked serious, he shook his head to her, signaling her to feel relieved.

The mother and son of Wen's family were talking here, while Yao's house was in a mess on the other side. After the snake demon appeared, it almost cracked the beams and shattered the pillars.

She asked Fengchun to send Su Miaozhen and siblings back to the house to rest, waiting for the doctor to come, while watching her father herself, forcing him to write several big characters.

"You write more, in addition to sending to the general's mansion, I also want to hang some in the house."

"..." Liu Bingzhou was speechless.

This daughter's temperament is too extreme. When she doesn't believe in ghosts and gods, she will be disrespectful at the slightest; once she knows that there are ghosts and evil spirits, she will tremble with fear and be too cautious.

He only wrote two pieces, and then he accepted the pen.

Mrs. Liu was still looking out, waiting for Madam Cao to come back. When she turned her head and saw her father stop writing, Yao Ruoyun had already stepped forward to fetch water for him to wash his hands, and couldn't help being anxious:
"Father, why don't you write?"

Although the place at home is not big, there are many people living there.

"Wanning and Shouning need to hang calligraphy and paintings to avoid evil. Ruoyun is also your grandson. The Miaozhen sister and brother also need it, as well as our room, the kitchen at home, and the wing room where the servants live—"

She calculated one by one, and felt that Liu Bingzhou would not be good enough if he did not write ten or eight.

"I'm here, what do you write?"

Liu Bingzhou shook his head, washed his hands and took the handkerchief from Yao Ruoyun to wipe his hands:
"Write two pictures, and Shouning will send them to the General's Mansion as a gift."

What's more, the evil on Su Miaozhen's body has not been completely expelled, if she sends calligraphy and paintings to her, it will be a bad thing.

"But……"

Liu Shi was a little anxious when she heard footsteps outside.

It was Zheng Shi who came back, and he brought Cao Mama who was in a mess, and also sent news from the outside world to Liu Shi.

The students who came to see the statues of the Confucian saints had already filled the gate of the Yao family, and Madam Cao, who was going to ask for a doctor, couldn't squeeze out.

Without a doctor, Su Miaozhen's injury would be delayed, Liu Shi was very anxious, but she also heard the shouts from outside.

Those voices came in through the two courtyards, and the momentum was astonishing.

In the current situation, it may be really difficult for the doctor to enter the door.

She was a little helpless, and was afraid that there would be more and more people outside, and her daughter's travel might be affected by then.

When she was worried, she was about to persuade Yao Shouning to stay at home temporarily, but she heard her daughter say: "I can climb out from the wall next to the kitchen, and use the door of Mr. Zhao's house next door to leave here."

"..."

When Liu Shi heard this, she was surprised, and felt that Yao Shouning's tone was inexplicably familiar when he said this suggestion.

In the past, she might scold Yao Shouning for being too outrageous, but now that she thinks about it, she feels that such an approach is the most appropriate.

She gritted her teeth, nodded and said:
"Nurse, run for me and discuss with Mr. Zhao who is next door."

The two are neighbors, and the Zhao family probably won't mind the behavior of "borrowing the way".

It's just that, it may not be easy to move the gift to the general's mansion.

This is not a good time to go out and buy something. I was hesitating, but I heard Yao Shouning say:
"I'll go out with these two calligraphy and paintings first."

Anyway, Liu Bingzhou will be famous all over the world after killing the demon today, and the words written by him are priceless, even if he only gives two paintings, it would not be rude.

Yao Shouning saw Liu's emotion, and added another sentence:
"If my mother thinks it's not enough, I'll make it up when I have time in the future."

When she said this, Liu naturally nodded in agreement.

After the mother and daughter packed up the calligraphy and paintings, Mammy Cao came back, saying that she and the Zhao family had already negotiated an 'excuse'.

When Mr. Zhao learned what happened to Yao's house, he even set up a ladder. When Yao Shouning came over, Zheng Shi also prepared a wooden ladder. He climbed over it first, and then picked her up to go out.

After watching her daughter's figure turn over the wall, Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth, thought for a while, and told Madam Cao:

"After the matter here is over, Mammy remembers to remind me to ask craftsmen to build it higher, add some broken tiles and iron nails to it."

"……Yes."

Yao Shouning had just left, when Liu Shi heard hurried footsteps behind him.

The person who came was a talented gatekeeper. His clothes and hat were messed up, and he ran in a hurry. Before he could enter the gate of the inner courtyard, when he saw Mrs. Liu, he shouted:

"Madam, Mr. Wen and his family are here to meet."
