Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 88 Explanation

Listening to Zhu Badger reciting Lu You's "Golden Cross Sword", Wang Jingyan ran up to the stage excitedly, stood in the center, facing north, stretched out his arms, and sang loudly: "Autumn is over in the rivers and lakes, and the wine glass is filled with wine every day. By the side of Xie Gong City The stream is frightening, and the willows are blowing in front of Su Xiaomen. There is nothing better than a thousand miles of clouds and mountains. A few people have a rest in their clothes, but they have no business, and they finally plan to visit the old place. "

Wang Jingjing recited Du Mu's poem "From Xuancheng to Officialship and Shangjing". Zhu Badger was surprised, especially when he read "A thousand miles of clouds and mountains are not good, a few people can rest for a lifetime", which is not ordinary. Surprised. Is it possible that he knows that my biological father is Zhu Yunshan? Does he know the past of the old house? Know all the past grudges and grudges of the old house?
"I have to give him a try." So after Wang Jingjing finished singing, Zhu Badger continued to sing: "You can't grow young in life, don't waste money on selling wine on the bedside." "The mortal world is already crazy with a sword, but with wine, you can rise to the sky. "Wang Jingjing groaned back.

Zhu Badger chanted again: "The bright moon in the boat has gone from now on. I was a lonely man in the rivers and lakes." "The young man plays the flute even more when he is fencing, and his sword spirit and flute heart are gone." Wang Jingjing chanted back.

Zhu Badger chanted loudly: "When we meet, we will drink for you, and we will tie our horses to the weeping willows of tall buildings." "When we meet, it doesn't matter whether we are acquaintances. Now half of us are kings in the world." Wang Jingjing recited back.

Zhu Badger wanted to recite it again. Uncle Liu and Lu Bo clapped their hands rhythmically and walked onto the stage. They recited as they walked: "A staff carries the sun and the moon, and the mountains collapse and the sea asks for the future." "Flowers bloom like brocade and find peace." , light clouds and flowing water flow through this life."

"Two gentlemen, please bow to me." Wang Jingjin knelt down in front of Uncle Liu and Lu Bo respectfully.

gentlemen? disciple? What's the meaning? Did they know each other before? I must know him, otherwise it would be impossible to know in advance that he would come and say that he is a distinguished guest. It's not surprising that Uncle Liu, Lu Bo and Wang Jingjin know each other, and it's even less surprising that they know he's coming. But how would he know? How could Ma Yasha know? He and she have long been in contact with Uncle Liu and Lu Bo? Is it possible that Wang Glasses is also related to him and her? Otherwise, how could Wang Jingjing sing: "There is no better place in the clouds and mountains thousands of miles away, but a few people's lapels will last for a lifetime"?

Nao Xi is in prison, you just hide it from me? Then I have to beat you!

Thinking of this, Zhu Badger loudly recited "When the hearts of grudges and grudges surge, the heroes in the world may not have many bones left" and strode onto the stage.

"Fairy, it's indeed a fairy. I'm so lucky to see you today." Wang Jingjing saw Zhu Badger on the stage, stood up and approached him, clasping his fists and bowing.

But Zhu Badger rolled his eyes in return and teased: "Did you just meet me? Then am I lucky enough to have nine lives?"

"Fairies are joking. I'm afraid I won't be able to compare with fairies if I spend my whole life." Wang Jingjing was not angry, but still had a smile on his face.

Zhu Badger breathed out of his nose and snorted: "Just now it was clear that there were three lives, but in the blink of an eye there is only one life."

"It seems that the fairy wants to verify my identity? Then I dare to tell you that the bronze mirror on the top of the caisson of the stage has been tampered with. Fortunately, there are experts who are familiar with everything here. Reinstalling it can restore it to its original state." Wang Jingjing Looking at the bronze mirror on the top of the caisson on the stage, he said to Zhu Badger.

Just as Zhu Badger was about to retaliate against Wang Glasses, a loud voice came from the air: "As expected of Dr. Wang, you have such good eyesight, I can entrust you to me."

"This junior has disturbed the master, and I hope that the master will forgive me. I will do my best to protect the old house and restore its glory." Wang Jingjin strode to the entrance of the stage and clasped his fists in the air in a salute.

There was no more echo in the air, only a flock of birds fluttering by. Today the sky is blue and the clouds are white, and the spring breeze is warm.

Zhu Badger looked at the thin back of Wang glasses standing at the entrance of the stage, and unconsciously thought of Song He Zhu's song "Six States Songtou·Young Chivalry", "Young chivalrous, making friends with five heroes. The liver and gallbladder are holed, and the hair is ridged. . A promise is worth a thousand dollars."

Wang Jingjing turned around, walked up to Zhu Badger and said, "Fairy, I've already expressed my feelings and everything is back to normal. I plan to live in the dressing room behind the stage gate. Do you think that's okay?"

"You live in the dressing room behind the gatehouse of the stage?" Zhu Badger was a little confused, but he couldn't help but walked towards the gatehouse with his feet.

In the dressing room behind the gatehouse, Ma Yasha and Lu Huan were making bedding for Wang Spectacles. Seeing Zhu Badger enter, Lu Huan came over and said to her: "This Dr. Wang must live in the dressing room behind the stage gate. He said that other places in the ancestral hall are not suitable for him to stay. Only the dressing room behind the stage gate is fine."

"Fairy, the ancestral hall is a holy place. As an outsider, I must respect each of your ancestors, so I cannot move in casually. Only this stage is a place where all rivers can be accommodated, and the dressing room behind the gatehouse is used by actors and actresses. At that time, everyone changed their faces here just to put on a wonderful show, so it is best for me to live here," Wang Jingjing explained to Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger did not reply immediately, but stood on the stage gate and looked around. That day, Fatty Zhu took the lead in making trouble in the ancestral hall, and Lan Yuliu took her to hide here. It was clearly imprinted in her mind.

Lan Yuliu, you should be hiding in the secret room of the ancestral hall now, right?

The secret room of the ancestral hall, I don’t know where it is at the moment? But I know that your mood at this moment must be two extremes from your mood that day. At that time, you were so high-spirited and thought that everything was under your control. I was just a dead leaf in your palm. You could blow me to ashes anytime and anywhere. Now, I guess you regret it? I regret letting me know about your relationship with Zhu Huzhai too early, and I regret underestimating my carelessness.

That's right, I will give anything, including my life, to protect my old home. Lan Yuliu, you couldn't have imagined that I would dare to steal your big box? Dare to set fire to the chicken coop in Tian Leizi's house? In fact, this is because you are too confident and think you understand me and Laozhai.

The reason why the old house has still stood here for hundreds of years is because the wisdom of our ancestors far exceeded our imagination. Lan Yuliu, you are sure that I dare not set fire. As a mortise-and-tenon structure, the old house is most afraid of fire. But you know what? Our ancestors put a lot of effort into the fire prevention of old houses. In addition to paying attention to fire prevention in the structure, they also fully considered the concentration of atmospheric air in the site selection.

Lan Yuliu, the reason why I dared to set fire to Tian Laizi’s chicken coop was that Tian Laizi’s chicken coop was only a temporary building later, built on the roadside, at a certain distance from the main house. Also, I observed that there are two masses of water vapor gathering in the sky above Xishan and Beishan. It won't be long before a heavy rain falls on the old house. Lan Yuliu, you taught me how to read the clouds and know the weather. Thank you.

"Fairy, do you disagree with me living in the dressing room behind the stage gate?" Wang Jingjin saw Zhu Badger standing silently on the stage gate and cautiously came over to ask.

Zhu Badger came back to his senses and replied to Wang Jingyan with a smile: "Very good, very good. Thank you for thinking so much for us."

"Fairy, you are indeed a fairy. Can you explain why I have thought so much about you?" When Wang Jingyan heard Zhu Badger praise him, his caution turned into complacency.

Zhu Badger did not respond to Wang Glasses, but walked down the stage gate and walked towards the stage entrance.

Wang Jingjin was puzzled and said to himself: "You just said it well, why did you suddenly get emotional again?"

"She is the one who annoys the Riddler the most. If you ask her like that, she has already given you face by not attacking you directly." Lu Huan spoke.

Wang Jingyan suddenly realized: "Actually, I am also the most annoyed by the Riddler, but for some reason I became the Riddler in front of her."

"That's because you care too much about her." Lu Huan's tone was obviously unhappy.

Wang Jingjin walked up to Lu Huan and asked, "Didn't you tell her that we knew each other before?"

"Who are you referring to? Don't be a Riddler in front of me." Lu Huan walked out of the dressing room.

Wang Jingjing caught up with Lu Huan: "Of course you are included in this, but you didn't tell her that we knew each other before?"

"Didn't you tell me not to let me tell her first? In order to prevent her from being timid in doing things and affecting the protection of the old house." Lu Huan walked towards Zhu Badger.

Wang Jingyan stood there and scratched his head, thought for a while and muttered: "I just think the time is not yet ripe. After all, it is not that easy to list the old house as a 'national security'." "What did you say? The old house is listed as a 'national security' "The national security department is not that easy?" Zhu Badger suddenly turned around and asked Wang Jingjing.

Wang Jing Jing's body trembled, and he slowly walked to Zhu Badger and explained to her: "Being listed as a 'national security' has many prerequisites. Judging from the current situation of the old house, this is only possible on the stage."

"Only the stage has this possibility? Can the ancestral hall? What about the old house?" Zhu Badger didn't believe it.

Wang Jingyan explained: “The national key cultural relics protection unit is the highest protection level approved by the country for immovable cultural relics. It must meet the following conditions, namely its historical value, physical integrity, existing preservation status, relevant evidence and social Recognition. Although the old house was built in the Ming Dynasty, it has been restored several times, and very few buildings that truly belong to the Ming Dynasty remain. Even though this ancestral hall was built in the eighth year of Jiaqing (1803), many buildings were restored later, and only the ancient stage is preserved. intact."

"What are you talking about? The eighth year of Jiaqing? Isn't Jiaqing an emperor of the Qing Dynasty? The old house was obviously built by Zhu Yuanzhang for Taizu's grandma, so why do you say it was built in the eighth year of Jiaqing?" Zhu Badger looked a little excited.

Wang Jingjin patiently explained: "Fairy, it's true that the old house was built in the Ming Dynasty, but the ancestral hall was indeed built in the Qing Dynasty."

"Dr. Wang is right. There was no ancestral hall built in the old house at the beginning. It was only later that your ancestor came back to build the ancestral hall after becoming the top scholar." Uncle Liu spoke.

Zhu Badger regained his composure and asked Wang Jingyan: "What if the old house cannot be listed as a 'national security'? Can it still be protected?"

"Fairy, the old house must be protected. In fact, your county has listed the old house as a cultural relic protection site. Before I came, I discussed it with my colleagues in the province and your county colleagues, and strived to have the old house listed as a county cultural relic protection site as soon as possible. Level and provincial cultural relics protection units.”

"Are county-level and provincial-level cultural relics protection units useful?" Zhu Badger asked Wang Glasses.

Wang Jingjin smiled and answered Zhu Badger: "Of course it is useful. As long as it is listed as a cultural protection unit, no matter what level it is? No one or any unit is allowed to destroy or demolish it without authorization."

"If this is good, if this is good, then please quickly list the old house as a county-level and provincial-level cultural relics protection unit." Zhu Badger was so happy that he went over and grabbed Wang Jiamen's arm tightly and shook it.

Wang Jingjin smiled and said: "Fairy, if you break my arm, how can I declare the old house as a cultural protection unit?"

"Oh oh oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Dr. Wang, thank you, thank you, I thank you on behalf of Grandma Taizu." Zhu Badger hurriedly let go of Wang Glass's arms.

Wang Jingjin rubbed his arm and asked Zhu Badger: "Do you represent Grandma Taizu? How can you represent her? Hundreds of years have passed."

"Dr. Wang, do you know? I often meet Grandma Taizu in my dreams. She told me a lot about the people and things in the old house, and she also said that the old house is a silver dragon." Zhu Badger said about Taizu. Grandma looked solemn.

At first, Wang Jingjing heard Zhu Badger say that he often met Grandma Taizu in his dreams, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He thought it was normal to think about things day by day and dream about things at night. Zhu Badger often misses Grandma Taizu, so naturally he often dreams about Grandma Taizu. But when Zhu Badger said that Grandma Taizu told her a lot about the people and things in the old house in her dream, she said that the old house was a silver dragon. He forgot to rub his arms that were scratched by Zhu Badger. He went over to grab Zhu Badger's arms and asked excitedly: "Really? Really?"

"Hey, what are you two doing in such a hurry? Don't forget that the wind blows the leaves, and the leaves go with the wind, but you don't know whether you are going to a good person or a bad person?" Lu Huan stood aside and looked at Wang Jingyan and Wang Jingqing coldly. Badger.

Wang Jinggeng hurriedly let go of Zhu Badger's arms, turned around and said to Lu Huan, "Huanhuan, I'm sorry, I'm a little excited."

"When you are excited, you can't ignore the occasion and talk nonsense." Lu Huan raised his eyebrows at Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger hurriedly explained: "Yes, yes, you can't ignore the occasion when you are excited, you can't talk nonsense, and you can't talk nonsense. It's all my fault. I heard Dr. Wang said that if the old house is listed as a cultural relic protection unit, no one or any unit can destroy or demolish it without authorization. I’m so excited, I’m talking nonsense.”

"Okay, since you are talking nonsense, don't take it seriously. Dr. Wang, if you want to live in the ancestral hall, you should go and pay homage to Grandma Taizu." Ma Yaksha stood on the stage gate and spoke.

Wang Jingjing hurriedly responded: "Okay, okay, I should go to worship Grandma Taizu and my ancestors. Next, I will disturb them here, I hope they can understand."

"Let's go too. I discussed it with Uncle Lu just now. It's too deserted for Dr. Wang to live here alone. Lu Bo and I came to live together." "Yes, yes, Uncle Liu and I live in the concierge of the ancestral hall so that we can be with Dr. Wang." There is someone to take care of you." Uncle Liu and Lu Bo said as they walked off the stage.

"Dad, will other people in the old house have any objections if you move into the ancestral hall?" Lu Huan asked.

Ma Yasha didn't wait for Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu to respond to Lu Huan, and loudly responded to Lu Huan: "How can we have any objections? Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu are also officials, and they live as the concierge of the ancestral hall. They help us take care of the ancestral hall. We Everyone should be grateful to the two of them, don't you think?" When Ma Yaksha said this, he had already walked to the Xiangtang of the ancestral hall, where the head of the household named Zhu was gathered.

All the household heads surnamed Zhu responded in unison: "Yes!"

"Everyone, this is the work permit of Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu. If you want to see it, you can come and see it. In fact, everyone is familiar with these two elders. If it weren't for these two elders, how could the old house survive to this day?" Ma Ma Yasha raised the two blueprints in his hand to show them to his neighbors.

Fatty Zhu spoke: "How can we not believe these two elders? Only with Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu here, can the old house be at peace."

"That's good, then let me invite Grandma Taizu to accept the worship of Dr. Wang, Uncle Liu, and Uncle Lu." Ma Yasha said and walked to Zhu Badger. Seeing that Zhu Badger was still standing motionless, he whispered Reprimanded: "Why don't you go quickly? Don't waste such a good market."

"Oh." Zhu Badger walked slowly towards the back hall.

Walking slowly, Zhu Badger was actually full of questions, and he couldn't walk fast at this pace. However, on such an occasion, she walked slowly and looked very calm and solemn.

Zhu Badger couldn't understand why Ma Yasha suddenly started to get up? Under the big camphor tree, she could understand Yasha in front of people from the town. After all, there were rumors that Huang Okra might take over from Zhu Hu and become the head of Lvbubu Village. If Huang Qiukui becomes the head of Lvbu Village, and she, Ma Yaksha, doesn't take action, I, Zhu Badger, must stand up and compete with her.

Unexpectedly, Ma Yaksha had already taken action, the town had already settled the matter, and the appointment letter had been printed long ago. However, if it weren't for Mayaksha's wild game and hard goods, the people in this town might not have come up with the appointment letter today.

Nao Xi Lao Lao, didn’t it say that everyone should choose the head of the village? However, even if everyone chooses, if my Ma Yasha wants to take action, he will definitely be able to capture it.

Now Ma Yaksha actually got up in the ancestral hall, and Fatty Zhu pretended to be so submissive in front of her even though he had some rebellious intentions, and even said, "With Uncle Liu and Lu Bo here, the old house can be peaceful."

How could Fatty Zhu say something like "With Uncle Liu and Uncle Lu here, the old house can be peaceful and peaceful"? Isn't this what Grandma Taizu meant when she told me in her dream, "Liu Luzhi, my old house is safe"? Is it possible that Ma Yaksha is causing trouble behind this? Are all the things and words in my dream being influenced by Ma Yaksha?

Well, Ma Yaksha, it seems that you want to mold me into a fairy and then use me as a spear user. Well, I will be your gentian bright silver spear. Changbanpo can kill Cao's soldiers with one person and one horse, seven in and seven out.

"Hey, what are you thinking about? Why don't you kneel down when you see Grandma Taizu?" Ma Yaksha knelt on the ground to remind Zhu Badger.

"Ah? Oh." Zhu Badger hurriedly knelt down, but he revealed a shocking secret.
