Records of Strange People and Strange Events in the Old Mansion

Chapter 93 Fan

After Zhu Shanzi returned to his old house, he was even more energetic than before. In the evening, the banquet continued at Zhu Badger's house. Zhu Shanzi, Squint Eye Po and Lan Yuliu came to the banquet, chatting and laughing as if nothing had happened.

Zhu Badger didn't want to hold another big banquet, but he had already promised to Huangliang, Tian Dalei, Tian Erlei, and Tian Xiaolei, so he had to fulfill his promise. After all, he helped you put on a show.

The red hand-operated folding fan sits steadily at the table of the Eight Immortals, with the cross-eyed woman on the left and the blue jade willow on the right. One-armed Luo and Stilt-legged Man sat at the same table with licking their faces. The two almost fought over the position next to Lan Yuliu. Zhu Badger was so angry that he stamped his feet and ignored them.

The three brothers Tian Da Lei, Tian Er Lei and Tian Xiao Lei drove away the other three neighbors who were sitting first and sat down at Zhu Fanzi's table. Of course they went to Lan Yuliu. Now the Eight Immortals table is just full. Zhu Fan is shaking his folding fan, shaking his head and telling the legend about the old house to the one-armed Luo, the cross-footed man and the three brothers of the Tian family. The story is humorous and makes the squinting woman squint from time to time. , Lan Yuliu covered her mouth and smiled, and One-Armed Luo, Stilt-footed Man and the three brothers from the Tian family naturally laughed along with them.

During the banquet, Lan Jade Liu raised her orchid finger to pour wine for Zhu Fan from time to time, and toasted to One-Armed Luo, Stilt-legged Man and the three brothers of the Tian family, until they all fell drunk under the Eight Immortals table when the banquet was over.

On the way back, Squinty-eyed Po and Lan Yuliu supported Zhu Fanzi on the left and right. Zhu Fanzi drank a lot tonight and staggered around. Sometimes he leaned on Xianyanpo's head, and sometimes he leaned on Lan Yuliu's shoulder. Go up, Tian Laizi swallowed his saliva with envy.

When he arrived at his home, Zhu Fanzi folded his fan and announced loudly: "From today onwards, only Sister Yuliu and Sister Squint will stay in this house. No other idlers will enter!"

After Zhu Shanzi made the announcement, Xie Yanpo and Lan Yuliu threw Uncle Liu and Lu Bo's luggage to the door, and closed the door with a "bang" sound. Zhu Shanzi and the two women's flirtatious laughter came from inside, which attracted Tian Laizi's kick. After kicking over the pickle jar at home, he grabbed a wine bottle and drank it all.

Ma Yaksha took Uncle Liu and Lu Bo's luggage to the ancestral hall without saying anything else. Anyway, the two of them had already decided to sleep with the concierge of the ancestral hall during the day.

There are two gatehouses in the ancestral hall, located on the left and right sides of the ancestral hall gate. Uncle Liu sleeps in the left gatehouse and Lu Bo sleeps in the right gatehouse. Ma Yaksha tidied their rooms and then closed the ancestral hall gate and went home.

When I got home, I saw that Daylily was still eating, and One-Armed Luo, Stilt-legged Man, Tian Da Lei, Tian Er Lei, and Tian Xiao Lei were still lying under the table. Ma Yasha did not go over to say hello, but walked straight into the house. Zhu Badger had already After going to bed, she patted the two thin dogs squatting at the door, gave them two bowls of wild boar meat, closed the door and went into the room to sleep.

Although Zhu Badger had been sleeping for a long time, he still couldn't fall asleep. He was tossing and turning and spreading the pie on Babu's bed. One of the eight thin dogs and the eight pig badgers who stayed with her thought she was not feeling well, and from time to time they stretched their necks to visit the bed. Finally, they simply jumped on the bed and snuggled up next to the red badger.

With the small dog and the pig badger cuddling on the left and right, the red badger quickly fell into a deep sleep.

"Chouyu? Where have you been these days?" Zhu Badger was not an ordinary surprise when he saw Chouyu walking towards her from a distance.

Chouyu replied faintly: "Where else can my maid go? In the underworld."

"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you? Is it Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Chongba, the old emperor?" Zhu Badger saw tears in his ugly jade eyes, his face was full of sadness, and his nose was a little sore.

Without waiting for Chou Yu to answer, Zhu Yuanzhang hurried over and explained to Zhu Badger: "Fairy, I didn't bully Chou Yu. How could I bully Chou Yu? Now we are a pair in need."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can Chou Yu become a couple with an ugly old man like you?" Zhu Badger scolded Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "We are all ugly, don't they just match each other?"

"Dare you be poor in front of me? Do you not want to be reincarnated again?" Zhu Badger lowered his face.

Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly begged for mercy: "Fairy, calm down, fairy, how dare I be poor in front of the fairy? I saw Chou Yu was very sad because the fairy was wronged, so I wanted to make fun of her."

"Am I wronged? Why am I wronged?" Zhu Badger frowned.

Chouyu said: "That Zhu Fanzi is really hateful, he dares to bully the fairy like this."

"He bullied me? Is it possible? I bullied him." Zhu Badger laughed.

Chouyu said: "He is shameless. The fairy punished him like that. It's just that he doesn't want to repent. He dares to bring the cross-eyed woman and the willow tree spirit to come to eat, and now they are fooling around together. Isn't this a slap in the fairy's face?"

"Hit my face? Is it okay for him to hit his own face? What I want is for him to be like this. If he hangs himself or crashes his head into a big camphor tree because I bully him, then I will be guilty. Go. Even if he doesn't commit suicide and stays behind closed doors from now on, the villagers will still be talking about my fault. Emperor, do you think so?" Zhu Badger turned his head and asked Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and replied: "Yes, I didn't expect the fairy to think so deeply. It seems that my reincarnation has no problem."

"All day long, you only think about your own reincarnation. Let me tell you, if you don't think about fairies, even if you have the chance to reincarnate, I will hold you back and prevent you from being reincarnated." Chou Yu curled her lips.

Zhu Yuanzhang glared: "You ugly jade, you really have a heart of snakes and scorpions. Let me tell you, the fairy doesn't need us to worry about her at all. She has truly become a fairy."

"Come again, you all say in front of me all day long that I have become a real fairy. What do you mean by that? Are you cursing me to death or trying to make me forget myself?" Zhu Badger scolded.

Zhu Yuanzhang shrank his neck in fright and replied in a low voice: "It is definitely impossible to curse you to death, but flattering you is really true. However, I will not flatter the fairy again in the future."

"Fuck you emperor, I am a human being, a woman, and you keep flattering me. People who don't know think I am a horse." Zhu Badger kicked Zhu Yuanzhang, naturally it was a kick. Not to him.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Fairy, don't you understand the principle of public opinion making gold? Everyone has said it a lot, and you may become a horse even if you are not a horse. Just like your mother, Yaksha, is not actually surnamed horse, but Zhu Fan deliberately said that your mother is a horse. Ma Yaksha, even you thought she was Ma Yaksha."

"Hmm, um, I was about to ask you, Zhu Fan, why did you call my mother Ma Yaksha? Even if my mother had to rise up in order to protect me and my old house, it should still be the nickname Ma Yaksha? Instead of changing her name She even forgot her real name?" Zhu Badger thought of business.

Zhu Yuanzhang replied: "Fairy, what is the worst state for a person? It is to forget one's roots. Zhu Shanzi wants your mother to forget her roots, to forget her roots. He deliberately confuses the public and calls your mother Ma Yaksha, just to make her forget. What is your surname? Let the neighbors forget that your mother is originally from the Liu family, but she is not a vulgar wild girl from the mountains, a yaksha woman who only knows yaksha."

"You are so vicious Zhu Fanzi. In this case, my aunt is naturally not qualified to be the mistress of the old house owner's house. She is not even qualified to be the fairy's biological mother." Chouyu does not hate Zhu Fanzi in general.

Zhu Badger glanced at Chouyu and Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Okay, now that you are calling Zhu Shanzi a human being, why did you go so far? Why didn't you tell me that Zhu Shanzi is such a sanctimonious hypocrite?"

"Fairy, you don't know something. Although I and Chouyu can see all kinds of things in the world, we are in the underworld and can only come out at the end of the first month and half of the month. If we want to really see everything in the world clearly, we have to go to heaven to become gods. Immortal." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger slapped the bed board and scolded Zhu Yuanzhang loudly: "You said that a thousand ways and ten thousand don't mean that you are thinking about being reincarnated and wishing to go to heaven to become an immortal and a god? I tell you, don't even think about it, unless you..."

"Fairy, what are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang was startled at first. Hearing Zhu Badger say "No, what are you doing?" Zhu Yuanzhang turned from worry to joy, expecting Zhu Badger to get rid of good news.

Zhu Badger pondered for a while and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Unless, unless you become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty."

"Unless this, unless I don't come out and do the opposite, I will still be trapped in the secluded place." Zhu Yuanzhang looked troubled.

Chouyu teased Zhu Yuanzhang: "You still say that you are the emperor, so this is difficult for you? How did you become a rebel general from a cowherd boy and a young novice?" "What do you mean?" Zhu Yuanzhang fixed his eyes on Chouyu Ruoyou. Thoughts.

Chouyu said: "Take the initiative. You are a ghost now. Can't a ghost take the initiative to dream of that Zhu Fan and that willow tree spirit? As the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, scare him and her and tell them not to go against the fairy again, otherwise they will be killed." No mercy.”

"It's still Lingchi, Chouyu, what are you talking about? You and he can't even fall asleep in my place, and you still want to scare Zhu Fanzi and Willow Tree Spirit?" Zhu Badger sneered.

Chouyu and Zhu Yuanzhang asked at the same time: "Fairy, what do you mean?"

"What I mean is very simple, that is, you should not only think about reincarnation all day long. You should be yourself. You should advise me with the courage and strategy of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Help me protect the old house and make it shine again. ." Zhu Badger looked at Zhu Yuanzhang expectantly.

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized, and after blaming himself for a while, he swore to Zhu Badger: "Fairy, don't worry, as long as you promise to help me get reborn and go to heaven, I will definitely be myself, and use my magnanimity to open up territories and dominate the world, so that my old house can be restored." Brilliant.”

"Hmph, it's true that a dog can't change its habit of eating shit. After all, you still have to have a fairy agree to help you become a reincarnation and help you become a person before you can be yourself. Are you still the beggar Zhu Chongba?" Chou Yu rolled her eyes at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes even whiter than Chou Yu's, and scolded Chou Yu angrily: "Aren't you trying to please the fairy just to be reborn? Don't imitate that sanctimonious way of Zhu Fanzi."

"What about yourself? Aren't you? I think you are better at pretending than Zhu Fanzi. Don't think that I don't know. It was you who sent Zhu Shanzi's ancestor to the old house to monitor Taizu in the name of taking care of her. Grandma. "Chouyu is not afraid of Zhu Yuanzhang at all when Zhu Badger is around.

Zhu Badger was stunned for a moment and asked Chouyu: "What did you say? Isn't Zhu Fanzi's ancestor an imperial doctor? How did he become a spy spying on Grandma Taizu?"

"The Imperial Physician? The Imperial Physician is tall and not yet a member of the Imperial Guard. Because he has some medical skills, the Emperor sent him as the Imperial Physician to monitor Grandma Taizu." Chouyu told Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger was not ordinary angry and asked Zhu Yuanzhang sternly: "Beggary, is what Chou Yu said true?"

"Fairy, calm down. Fairy, calm down. I was originally worried that Grandma Taizu would be used by Liu Ji and Lan Yu." Zhu Yuanzhang had to answer truthfully.

Zhu Badger kicked Zhu Yuanzhang and cursed: "It's thanks to Grandma Taizu for saving your life as a beggar that you can repay kindness with hatred. Tell me, was it the ancestor who gave Zhu Fanzi some life-saving object back then?"

"Fairy sage, fairy sage, I did give Zhu Fanzi's ancestor a fan back then as a protective device to prevent Liu Ji and Lan Yu from killing him on an excuse." Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened that his body trembled.

Instead, Zhu Badger calmed down and asked Zhu Yuanzhang in a gentle tone: "Does it mean that you have to behead your head if you lose the gift given by the emperor?"

"Of course, but now is a new society. Even if Zhu Fan loses the fan I gave him from his ancestors, no one can punish him anymore? Alas, if only I could really become the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It's over." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and sighed.

Zhu Badger smiled and said: "Zhu Yuanzhang, stop dreaming about your spring and autumn dreams, and think about how to help me make the old house shine again?"

"Fairy, do you have a way to cure that Zhu Fan?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Chouyu scolded: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Don't you know that secrets cannot be leaked?"

"Hmph, you told me that heaven's secrets should not be leaked? I am the real emperor, and my thoughts are the secrets. Do you know that?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded Chou Yu in return.

Zhu Badger slapped the bed board and reprimanded: "Shut up! You always quarrel in front of me. Do you think I am nothing?"

"No, no, no, how can I regard fairies as air? Fairies are real fairies." "That's right, how can fairies be air? Fairies are real fairies, real fairies." Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu hurriedly walked to Zhu Badger and stood respectfully to say good things. .

Zhu Badger was amused, but he still pretended to be angry and scolded Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu: "You two should stop flattering me. Do you want to make me into a horse yaksha like Zhu Fanzi?"

"How is it possible? How is it possible? I am waiting for the fairy to go to heaven and take me to heaven with him." "Yes, yes, yes, I am also waiting for the fairy to go to heaven and take me to heaven with him." Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu kept saying New Year greetings.

Zhu Badger smiled and said, "Okay, I'm just talking casually, but you two are not allowed to quarrel in front of me again. I have questions to ask you, and you must answer them honestly."

"This is natural, this is natural." "It must be done, it must be done." Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu nodded repeatedly.

Zhu Badger said: "I have a question to ask you now, and you must answer it honestly."

"It must be done, it must be done." "It must be answered honestly." Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu nodded like garlic.

Zhu Badger asked: "Why did Grandma Taizu say, 'Liu Lu is safe at the old house'? Why didn't I feel at all that the old house was safe after the two of them came?"

"Fairy, you have to look at the problem in two." "Yes, the key is from which angle you look at the problem?" "Liu Lu said that the old house is safe. The 'safe' only refers to whether the old house is safe or not?" This safety is only in terms of the building, the building itself. "That means that after Uncle Liu and Lu Bo arrive, the old house will not collapse." Zhu Yuanzhang and Chou Yu argued with each other. Badger explained.

Zhu Badger was a little dizzy after hearing this, and interrupted them by slapping the bed board: "You two talk carefully, Zhu Yuanzhang, you speak first."

"Okay, let me tell you first. Chouyu actually doesn't understand anything. She just stayed with me and listened to some gossip from my mouth. She came to your fairy to show off her power without knowing what she was capable of. What should I say? Uncle Liu and Lu Bo must have the authority to say what I say. I am the mouthpiece of the imperial edict, and I will keep my word..." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and started talking, but Zhu Badger kicked him and cursed: "I gave you the edict. "Kou, I'll tell you to go back to your secluded place!"

Zhu Yuanzhang really disappeared from the front of Zhu Badger. Zhu Badger quickly called Chou Yu, fearing that she would also disappear.

"Fairy, the maid is here." Chouyu walked up to Zhu Badger.

Zhu Badger asked Chouyu: "Isn't Zhu Chongba angry?"

"How dare he be angry with the fairy? Fairy, don't pay attention to him. I promise that next time Peipianpidian will enter the fairy's dream and beg you to help him become a reincarnation." Chouyu disagreed.

When Zhu Badger saw Chouyu like this, he asked her directly: "Then can you tell me about Uncle Liu and Lu Bo in detail?"

"They are two craftsmen with unique skills. One is good at design and the other is good at production. They match each other and complement each other." Chou Yu answered concisely and clearly. But Zhu Badger felt that her answer was wrong, so he said to Chouyu in an unhappy tone: "I know this myself. I was asking why the two of them always looked so heartless and thought nothing of their own business. ?”

"It's easy to understand. People with special skills will always have weird tempers. Uncle Liu and Lu Bo care about you very much. They have already made plans. Fairy, don't worry, everything in the old house is under their control. Under their control, whether it is a brick, a tile, a door, a window, or a tenon, a bracket, or an arch, they know it like the back of their hand, and no one can have any bad ideas." Chou Yu answered simply.

Zhu Badger thought for a while and then asked: "Does that Wang Jingyan have real talents?"

"He? My maid doesn't dare to make irresponsible remarks. She might offend Huanhuan." Chouyu hesitated to speak.
