A Thousand Gold Order: Inheritance

Chapter 356 Haunted (Part [-])
My eldest lady has his handles and pigtails in her hands, but since he was forced to give a confession by Qi Huan last year, for so long, Qi Huan has not used those handles to coerce him to do things for her, Even in private, I never looked for him, if it weren't for the internal injury in his heart that left some roots, and it still hurts from time to time...

Guan Yusheng even suspected that the fact that he was kidnapped and beaten up was just an illusion created by himself after helping the evildoers.

At this moment in the middle of the night, Qi Huan's sitting here was obviously intentional.

Guan Yusheng actually didn't dare to contact her in private. Regardless of whether the eldest lady was here to block him, he just paused at that time, and subconsciously wanted to run away.

Then—

Xingluo had sharp eyes and had already spotted him, poked Qi Huan who was closing his eyes and meditating and reminded: "Miss!"

Qi Huan opened his eyes and looked straight over.

Guan Yusheng had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward.

Walking to a place three steps away from Qi Huan, he stopped and greeted respectfully: "I've seen Missy."

"What did you do? You came back so late?" Qi Huan covered her mouth and yawned. She was really sleepy, but just now she had been thinking about things seriously, not just dozing off.

Guan Yusheng was startled, and suspected that she had someone staring at her in the afternoon, so she didn't dare to hide anything and replied truthfully: "Master Hou ordered an errand to ask the little one to go to Jiqing Street in the south of the city to inquire about a family called Zhongyuzhai. As for the background of the jewelry store, the neighbors in the neighborhood said that a shopkeeper surnamed Lin led two assistants to run it for many years.

Qi Huan actually didn't tell anyone to stare at him.

This person has been firmly in her hands. According to what he does, if she is really careful, the whole family surnamed Guan will die. If she wants to know what the other party has done recently, it is like Now call me and ask...

Guan Yusheng will definitely tell the whole story.

During the day, when Qi Zhengyu mentioned Qi Zhongyu, Guan Yusheng had already gone to call the doctor, and he didn't hear the cause and effect, so now he is at a loss, and he didn't understand what to look for in a jewelry store that was completely out of reach with his own.

At this time, he quietly raised his eyelids and took a look at Qi Huan.

Qi Huan blocked him at this time, he suspected that Qi Huan came here for this matter.

No, but Qi Huan seemed to have no interest in it, and just said to himself: "Elder people don't like the surroundings to be too deserted, and my grandfather is also old now, and he must be depressed when he is bored in the room during his convalescence. , is not conducive to his physical recovery. You are by his side, if there are any strange things going on inside and outside the house recently, tell him more, and you can help him relax."

Guan Yusheng almost listened to her instructions with his ears pricked up, and he was completely dumbfounded after listening patiently.

That's it?

Just to tell him to tell the old man more stories to amuse him, this eldest lady didn't go to sleep in the middle of the night, and went to the front yard to block him?
Although Guan Yusheng didn't dare to question her, he didn't understand her meaning after all. He was about to ask a question boldly, but Qi Huan had already patted his skirt to get up, turned around neatly, and Shi Shiran took Xingluo away.

Guan Yusheng opened his mouth.

after all--

It's because he didn't have the guts to stop her pestering.

He was afraid that he and Qi Huan would get suspicious if anyone saw it, so he took two quick steps and hid in the shadows under a wall, wandered around for a while and thought about having a cup of tea. Continue to go back in a daze.

Go back to Fulin Court.

Because Qi Zhengyu's fever didn't subside, Qi Wenang stayed to keep watch at night.

The old man was awake all afternoon, drank medicine at night and fell asleep again, but he was still not very stable.

And because of the fever, I had a nightmare and didn't wake up, and I was in a state similar to the previous night, and I didn't wake up and didn't stop.

Qi Wenang slept all day, but Guan Yusheng stayed up all night with him last night. He couldn't hold on anymore, so he called another boy in the yard to come over, and he went back to sleep.

Lying on the bed, he wanted to continue to think about Qi Huan's intentions, but because he was really overwhelmed, he almost lay down and fell asleep.

This time, he didn't sleep well, but he woke up the next day, and when he went to eat in the side room where the servants were eating, he saw a few servant girls gathered together, discussing things in panic.

"Can't you?" A boy was holding a bun in his hand, and forgot to eat it for a long time, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

There was a maid who was very courageous, she pursed her lips while eating and said, "It's not me who saw it, it was Mrs. Jing from the kitchen who said that the figure was dressed in white in the middle of the night, this... just this..."

As he spoke, he gestured vigorously to the buttocks on the back, and narrated with a bit of emotion: "It's all red, I can't see my feet when I walk, and it's erratic, and I still don't answer when I call her. Mrs. Jing thought it was someone A thief, after chasing her, she disappeared in the blink of an eye. If she had a living person's legs, how could she run so fast?"

The other maid let out a terrified cry, and turned pale: "You mean... haunted?"

For most of the day, several people still had goose bumps all over their bodies.

Someone scolded with a straight face: "This New Year's Eve, what unfavorable words you say, let the master listen, I can't help but pull out your tongue!"

The daring servant girl was disdainful: "The word didn't come from me, they were all discussing in the front yard, if you want to pull out their tongues, first pull out theirs."

"If something really happened, could it be the one from yesterday..." Someone quickly thought of a reliable logic, "Although the crime deserved it, but at the end of yesterday's fight, Bai Zhi yelled very scary, yelling to become a ghost , come back to take revenge and claim your life."

The matter of ghosts and gods is originally a taboo.

According to what these people say, this topic will soon lead to the eldest lady.

Guan Yusheng stopped immediately: "People who celebrate the Chinese New Year, talk nonsense, aren't you afraid of breaking taboos?"

He is the most respectable in front of the old Hou Ye. Except for the steward in this yard, Guan Yusheng has the most power.

Seeing that his expression was also very bad, everyone immediately silenced and admitted their mistake.

A slippery boy hurriedly moved the stool, wiped the chopsticks, and gave him the best seat on the dinner table: "Brother, you sit down, you have been tired these two days, I thought you didn't get up so early, and the meal is reserved for you." gone."

As he spoke, he took a food box next to him.

These people were eating steamed buns, but in the food box were two white flour steamed buns. Besides the vegetables everyone ate, there was also half a roast chicken.

Guan Yusheng has no appetite.

He took the steamed buns and gnawed them, but asked others to share the roast chicken: "I have a bad stomach for the past two days, and eating greasy food early in the morning is disgusting, you can eat it."

Because he usually doesn't put on airs very much, he is very popular in this yard, and everyone cheered and divided the roast chicken.

The servants in the mansion usually gather together and often talk about right and wrong. Guan Yusheng didn't care about what they said at the dinner table in the morning.

If there is anyone in this mansion who would take advantage of the topic to act like a monster, spreading such rumors would be disgusting and even scare Qi Huan...

That may only be Mrs. Yu.

Guan Yusheng is very measured and doesn't meddle in matters between masters and masters.

As for whether these words would reach Qi Huan's ears, this was not something he should worry about. After eating, he went to work in Qi Zhengyu's room.

At that time, Qi Wenang had already gone back, and Qi Wenjing was here again.

Dr. Chen was also in the room pinching the old man's wrist to check his pulse, "Master Hou is getting old, especially the wounds heal slowly, and even the high fever can't go away, but it's better than yesterday, I'll start again Adjust the prescription, as long as the heat subsides, you only need to rest in peace and recuperate from the injury."

The old man was still sleeping at the moment, so Guan Yusheng hurriedly waited on the pen and ink.

Afterwards, he called the servant girl to grab the medicine and decoct it. After waiting for the medicine to be decocted, Qi Wenjing forcibly woke up the old man when the sun was high.

After waiting for him to drink the medicine, Qi Zhengyu is now extremely cherishing his life, he doesn't feel hungry even though his mouth is bitter, but he still says he is hungry and asks the kitchen to prepare some meals that he can eat.

Qi Wenjing wanted to stay and take care of him, but he didn't let him go. He just said that he was much better and sent him away.

Qi Wenjing knew that he didn't like him, so he just thought he was upset when he saw that he was upset, so he walked away like a stream.

After the scene was cleared, the old man still remembered what happened yesterday, and asked Guan Yusheng with a hoarse voice weakly: "Have you inquired about what I asked you to inquire about?"

The first thing Guan Yusheng thought of was Qi Huan who was blocking him in the corridor in the middle of the night yesterday, but he still straightened up immediately and answered him truthfully: "That shop is said to be a century-old shop. Thirty or forty years ago Son, because the original shopkeeper wanted to move his family away from Beijing, so the shop was sold out. I don’t know who it was sold to, but you know that the shopkeeper has changed back and forth several times over the years. , the current shopkeeper is surnamed Lin, and he has been in charge of the shop for more than ten or twenty years. I specifically asked a few old neighbors who lived nearby, and they all said that they had never seen anyone come to check the accounts or visit the shop. Shopkeeper Lin has always claimed to the outside world that it is his business. He is indeed able to make decisions about all the big and small things in the shop, and it really doesn't look like he is looking after the shop for others."

"Did it come out thirty or forty years ago?" Although Qi Zhengyu was sick and weak, his mind was still clear.

He never believed that the name of that shop coincided with his sister's boudoir name. If it was said that the shop changed hands more than [-] years ago, then he had reason to suspect that the shop was bought by Qi Zhongyu at that time. gone.

His mother dotes on this girl very much, she is very young, but she is already very wealthy, if she wants to spend a few thousand taels for a shop she likes back, the old lady will give it to her without blinking an eye.

He clutched the quilt tightly with his fingers, his eyes were blurred and muddy due to illness, but at this moment, they were inexplicably tainted with gloom, and he asked again in a cold voice, "The shop has always been called by its current name?"

This Guan Yusheng didn't inquire about it on purpose, but he did, and he still didn't hide anything: "No, it used to be called Duobaohang or Mingbaohang, and it was changed to the current name after the owner's house was changed. .”

The taut string in Qi Zhengyu's heart seemed to be broken with a bang!
There was a hostility and anger, constantly tossing between his heart and lungs.

At the same time a voice kept clamoring——

Yes, yes, that's it!

The shop must have been bought by the family for the dead girl. After she died, or the old lady held it in her hand and wanted to keep it for a while, or the old lady only wanted to see it as a pure, unowned thing. It was swallowed up by the shopkeeper in the store and given to others for nothing.

Although the Marquis of Changning is in a downturn, the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. Qi Zhengyu is not resentful because this property fell into the hands of others.

he just-

I really can't hear any past events related to Qi Zhongyu!
Regarding any traces of that girl's existence, these seemed to remind him all the time how incompetent, shameless and ruthless he was.

That girl, like the stain and brand of his life, made him scratch his head and wish he could peel off a layer of skin and completely erase these traces.

He has been deceiving himself and others for more than [-] years, but unexpectedly today, he was asked to openly hear clues related to that girl in the hall of the state banquet on New Year's Eve.

Even though this slap came two days late, this slap stumped him a bit, slapping out his anger.

Rather—

There is no way to attack!
That shop was involved in the case of framing the prince, and now he just begs others not to remember that he once had a sister named Qi Zhongyu, otherwise, if anyone knows that his family is related to that shop, he might be imprisoned The case is highly suspect.

Qi Zhengyu has nowhere to vent his anger.

But Guan Yusheng could still see the change in his mood from his ashen complexion and ferocious expression. While suspicious in his heart, he shrewdly pretended not to notice, and just served him with all his heart and soul by serving him tea and water.

The second day of junior high school is usually the day when a married daughter returns to her natal home.

Qi Wenheng and his wife were in office for the New Year and did not come back, but Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenxian both arrived as scheduled according to the rules.

Qi Wenjing only brought a pair of sons and daughters from the concubine, while Qi Wenxian and her husband brought a total of five children from the concubine.

Because Qi Yuanxu and his wife were in Beijing, they came back again to continue their reunion together.

Unfortunately, when the old man fell ill, a large group of people came to visit him as a matter of routine.

Afterwards, the second son-in-law took his eldest son, Qi Yuanxu and Gao Yunze, to the outer study to have tea and play chess with the two brothers Qi Wenjing. The girls and a nine-year-old son from Qi Wenxian's family all came to Qixia Garden.

Qi Huan was afraid that they would disturb the Yang family, so he invited everyone to his courtyard. Even though he seldom interacted with each other, he would pretend to be hospitable even if it was Chinese New Year.

She ordered someone to come over with some refreshments and fruits. Everyone sat together, played games and chatted, and the atmosphere was really good.

Among these people, the relationship between Gao Yunmiao and Qi Huan is considered the closest. When they were playing cards, the two of them looked at the same deck of cards together and bit their ears together.

Gao Yunmiao said: "I heard that Ye Xunyi at the state banquet on New Year's Eve acted like a demon again?"

Because their family was in mourning, Qi Wenjing didn't attend the state banquet even though she was ordered to do so.

Qi Huan pursed his lips and shared the same hatred with her: "She has done many injustices, this time she has been kicked into the iron plate and fell into the hands of my third uncle."

It is impossible for Gao Yunmiao to let go of the matter of Qiyuan Restaurant, and sighed regretfully: "It's a pity that I wasn't there at the time. It would be nice if I could see her unlucky appearance with my own eyes."

Qi Huan looked at her sideways, and teased: "She's out of luck if she doesn't see it, so let's treat it as a good New Year gift in disguise."

In fact, she should have also heard the news that Yun Zheng was buried in the sea of ​​flames, but because of the New Year's Eve talking about the bad luck of the dead, she refrained from saying it.

Qi Huan was glad she didn't mention this, otherwise——

It's difficult not knowing how to deal with it.

Both Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenxian stayed until the afternoon, and the family went home after having dinner together.

Qi Zhengyu was ill and couldn't get out of bed, but Yu Shi was elated, happily sitting in the main seat alone, and ate the meal very happily.

After sending off the two aunts, the rest of the family also dispersed.

Qi Wenjing and Qi Wenang went to see Qi Zhengyu listlessly, discussing the matter of staying with them at night.

And Qi Zhengyu took the medicine twice in the morning and at noon, but the fever was almost subsided by the afternoon, so he took the initiative to say: "You have also been tired for the past two days, I am fine, and the matter of visiting relatives and friends in the first month cannot be neglected." , you don’t need to stay with me anymore, you should do whatever you want.”

As if the two brothers were pardoned, they just urged Guan Yusheng to serve him well, and then they also broke up.

That night, Guan Yusheng waited for the old man to fall asleep, and brought a quilt and put him down on the couch in his room, but he didn't dare to sleep too hard at night, and waited vigilantly for orders.

In the second half of the night, the old man had another nightmare.

In the previous two nights, he also had nightmares, but because of fever and confusion, the dreams were not very impressive. This night, it was an unprecedented dream that his sister who committed suicide was wearing a swollen and almost indistinguishable face. His face floated into the room, trying to strangle him to death.

In his sleep, he struggled desperately with his hands and feet, and finally let out a loud cry, and sat up suddenly.

"Master Hou! Guan Yusheng was also very frightened. He got up and rushed to the bed. He touched it first to make sure that the old man was still there, and then hurriedly turned around to light the lamp.

Qi Zhengyu was sweating profusely, panting heavily while sitting: "Pour me some water!"

Guan Yusheng went to pour the water and touched the teapot: "The water is completely cold, I'm going to fetch hot water again."

"Cold water is fine!" Qi Zhengyu was so panting that he struggled to speak.

Guan Yusheng could only pour a glass of cold water for him.

Qi Zhengyu took a cup of cow to drink, and drank a cup of heart-cooling cold water, but he finally felt a little more comfortable. After touching his neck, the suffocation feeling of being pinched in the dream felt less real.

"Master Hou, are you feeling unwell? Do you want to call Dr. Chen?" Guan Yusheng watched his words carefully.

Qi Zhengyu couldn't say that he was being haunted by a nightmare, he just waved his hand vaguely, and asked Guan Yusheng to pour another glass of water.

This time he drank very slowly. After drinking, the cold sweat on his back almost disappeared, but he lay down almost collapsed.

Guan Yusheng got up to put the empty cup back on the table, but Qi Zhengyu's gaze was inadvertently glanced at the door, and saw a figure hitting the window paper.

His pupils shrank violently, and he sat up suddenly again, shouting angrily: "Who is outside?"

Guan Yusheng rushed over reflexively.

But when he quickly pulled the latch and opened the door——

It was empty outside, and there was no one at all.

Guan Yusheng was wondering when he heard the sound of the paper on the rear window being scraped by branches.

Qi Zhengyu looked back vigilantly, but saw a disheveled figure flashing past the window again.

The speed of the image and movement...

But no matter how you think about it, it's weird.

Guan Yusheng searched at the door to no avail, so he closed the door and went back into the house. Seeing him staring intently at the rear window, he couldn't help being surprised: "Master Hou, what's wrong with you?"

"There..." Qi Zhengyu raised his finger and wanted to say that he also saw a figure outside the window, but now there was no trace to be found, so he suddenly didn't bother to say anything, and just asked Guan Yusheng: "Is there no one in the yard?"

"No." Guan Yusheng was also surprised.

He thought it was someone who happened to be passing by the yard at night, which dazzled the old man, but when he opened the door, he couldn't even see a ghost in the yard.

Qi Zhengyu was so frightened and tortured that he was exhausted, so he lay back on the bed again.

Guan Yusheng was about to blow the lamp, but he stopped him: "Don't turn off the lamp."

The old man was getting old and couldn't sleep well. In the past, he couldn't sleep well when there was a little light.

Although Guan Yusheng was strange, thinking that he was sick, it was understandable and nothing serious.

The two master and servant lay quietly, Guan Yusheng soon fell asleep again, but Qi Zhengyu was suspicious, and did not close his eyes in the middle of the night.

Guan Yusheng, on the other hand, didn't take this little incident at night seriously at all, and he had forgotten it when he woke up.

But I didn't want to, the rumors in the mansion escalated again in the early morning of the third day of junior high school——

It was said that the two guards watching the night saw a faceless female ghost in white walking in the corridor in the middle of the night, and one of them fainted from fright on the spot.

The whole mansion exploded.
