Nine idlers

Chapter 150 five past events of the Zhou family

After saying the sacrificial speech, the old man put the fresh incense in his hand into the incense burner with his own hands, and this action moved the servants inside and outside the room deeply, and they all looked at the old man respectfully.Xu Changqing, who was standing on the beam of the house, admired the old man's way of buying people's hearts. With a few words and a few casual actions, dozens of people swore to serve their lives in exchange for it.

After the worship, the old man raised his hand and waved to the servants twice, commanding: "You all go outside, I have something to talk to Qinglan girl."

After hearing the order, the servants saluted one after another, bowed and left the room, and gently closed the door.At this time, when Zhou Qinglan was about to ask something, the old man spoke first and asked in a deep voice: "I heard from my servant that when Zhenglin came back from Chaigoubao this time, he invited a guest from a foreign country. In Yuhua Building, have you seen this person?"

Zhou Qinglan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the old man would ask about Xu Changqing, but she nodded truthfully and said, "Yes! Mr. Xu is a man worthy of deep friendship."

"A man out of dust?" The old man looked at Zhou Qinglan with a little surprise, as if he hadn't expected his niece to have such a high opinion of Xu Changqing. After calming down, his expression was slightly expectant, and he pretended Asked calmly: "The servants say that he looks very similar to Qingping, you have seen him, what do you think?"

"Looks like big brother?" Zhou Qinglan was taken aback, Xu Changqing's figure and Zhou Qingping's figure gradually overlapped in his mind, and then he showed surprise, covered his mouth, and The face said in disbelief: "It's really similar. If you didn't remind me, uncle, my niece really didn't notice. As long as Mr. Xu has a beard, it will be almost exactly the same as the beard!" He paused again, Turning his head to look at the old man suspiciously, he said, "Uncle, don't you think that Mr. Xu is the child of the eldest brother outside? Judging by Mr. Xu's age, it is impossible at all."

"It really looks alike! Is it really him?" The old man murmured to himself, followed by a slightly excited look, and asked anxiously: "How did he and Zhenglin meet, do you know?"

Zhou Qinglan felt that the uncle who had always been calm became very strange today, and couldn't help frowning, "Uncle, you'd better ask Zhenglin, I don't know the details too well. It seems that Zhenglin planned to refine it for Xiaolian a few days ago. There is still a missing piece of 'medicine' for Yangqi Pill, and that 'medicine' happened to be bought by Mr. Xu, and the two got acquainted like this. According to Zhenglin, Mr. Xu came to Zhoujiazhai for business... "

As she spoke, Zhou Qinglan felt that the relationship between Xu Changqing and the Huang family's siblings might be involved, so she stopped talking at this point, and said no more.

The old man seemed to be thinking about something, and didn't notice Zhou Qinglan's strangeness at all. He walked around the room a few times nervously and anxiously, and muttered to himself: "I happen to hold Zhenglin in my hand and want the 'medicine'. This is clearly to get acquainted with Zhenglin! Could it be him? Could it be that my younger sister ordered him to come back in this way, what exactly does my younger sister want him to do secretly? Revenge us?"

"Uncle, what's going on?" Zhou Qinglan couldn't help but be affected by the abnormality of the old man, and asked anxiously, "Why did you deliberately get acquainted with Zhenglin? What kind of younger sister's revenge? Uncle, what are you talking about?"

"These things are the grievances of the previous generation. Leave it alone." After hearing the niece's question, the old man gradually calmed down, and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, bring your servants to watch over that person carefully. He gets close to family members at will, let alone let him get close to your 'grandma' or 'grandma', otherwise things will get worse!"

Hearing the old man's order, Zhou Qinglan couldn't help sticking out her tongue, thinking how could she stand up to such an extraterrestrial expert with her own ability, and the matter was really inexplicable, which made Monk Zhang Er puzzled.So she said with a gloomy face: "Uncle, you should know my character. If I don't understand it, I won't act rashly!"

"Ah! Among these nephews and nephews, except for you and Zhenglin, almost all of them are unreliable and mediocre. I have no one I can trust." The old man looked a little lonely, sighed, looked at Zhou Qinglan said: "It is indeed time for you juniors to know some things, but what I said here today, after you leave this house, you must bury it in the bottom of your heart and don't let it out to the outside world. One word."

Seeing the serious expression on the old man's face, Zhou Qinglan nodded seriously and made an oath, while Xu Changqing, who was standing on the beam of the house, became attentive and listened carefully to every word the old man said.

"Ah!" The old man sighed again at this time, and then his whole body seemed to be caught in the past, his breath became long and deep, and he said in a slightly hoarse voice: "This still has to start from the time when the Manchus entered the customs, At that time, our Zhou family was a big family in Shandong. The Qing soldiers entered the customs and burned, killed, and looted. My Zhou family also suffered from it, and almost wiped out this thousand-year-old root. Later, a strange person came out of the Zhou family and got a treasure. This Zhouzhuang was built on this treasure land of geomantic omen, and that treasure was used to suppress my Zhou family's thousand-year fortune, which made my Zhou family survive."

Zhou Qinglan also said with a look of surprise: "It turns out that when I was young, I heard from the elders that there is an underground palace under the Zhou family's house, and there is a treasure in the underground palace. These are true!"

And Xu Changqing, who was standing on the beam of the house, was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that the current Zhou family would know about the underground palace.If so, why didn't they know about the bronze-armored zombie king in the underground palace?Xu Changqing couldn't help muttering in his heart.

When Xu Changqing was thinking about the underground palace, the old man nodded, and then asked: "You know that the academy in Zhuangzi's inner house suddenly closed down, and Hanyue Xiaoyuan also forbids other people to stay at the same time. Is that why?"

Zhou Qinglan shook her head and said, "I'm not sure, I heard it was 'grandmother' who ordered the closure!"

The old man nodded and admitted: "That's right, it was indeed mother who ordered the closure of the business! At that time, mother had three children. Besides your father and me, there was also a younger sister. She was your sister-in-law, named Zhou Ranjie, who lived in Hanyue Elementary School. Court."

Hearing his mother's name, Xu Changqing's heart couldn't help trembling at this moment. Although his face was still calm, two lines of hot tears still poured out involuntarily from his eyes, dripping on the skirt of his clothes, and his breath became thicker. No one noticed.
