Concubine

Chapter 497
Ancient Chinese medicine called sleepwalking as nocturnal syndrome, dream syndrome, nocturnal syndrome, etc., so Cheng Ziqin also knew that he had this disease, and then he suddenly realized, but there were still some things that he didn't understand, so he asked: "Then Mrs. Han didn't find out about the prefect of Han?" Sleepwalking?"

"No, because Mrs. Han's menstruation has come these days and she can't share the same room, so she took the little maid to sleep in the wing room." In ancient times, women were not allowed to sleep in the same room with their husbands when they had menstruation, for fear of tainting their bad luck. Husbands, especially officials or wealthy families, are even more particular.

When Yang Tashan talked about menstruation, he didn't feel anything, but Cheng Ziqin couldn't help blushing slightly, and asked again: "Since you found out that Mr. Han is sleepwalking, shouldn't it be enough to follow him? Why do you have to bother to open the altar?" What about casting spells?"

"The official seal is gone, and he might not be able to figure out where to hide it when he was sleepwalking. It was done just to be on the safe side. When I said I was going home to prepare, I actually went back and found a brick that was about the same size and weight as the official seal. The cloth was wrapped back, and when the altar was cast to pretend to be a ghost, put the brick into the official seal box and cover it, put a golden talisman on it, and told the prefect of Han that the official seal was found."

"Haha, so what you found back then was actually a brick?" Cheng Ziqin laughed.

"Yes, when I asked Mrs. Han and the maid Dong'er, I learned that Mr. Han had trouble sleeping and eating for two consecutive days, so I came up with this method. I claimed to have recovered the official seal, and asked the magistrate Han to find ways to protect the official seal. He said that the little ghost would come back to grab the official seal at night, and he repeatedly told him to protect it, so that he subconsciously felt anxious about the official seal being stolen again. Because he hadn't slept for three consecutive nights, he was anxious, and finally fell asleep. Under the anxiety He sleepwalked again, took out the brick, and came to the place where he had hidden the official seal in his sleepwalking last time, and hid the official seal on the brick, so he felt at ease, and then went back to sleep. I followed, and naturally found the official seal."

"You're so smart!" Cheng Ziqin clapped his hands and laughed, "By the way, where did Prefect Han hide the official seal?"

"you guess!"

"Hmph~! If I guessed it, I would have found it sooner! Don't be fooled, tell me!"

"It's hidden in a pair of old cotton shoes at the foot of his bed! Hahaha..."

Cheng Ziqin also covered her mouth and giggled.

Seeing her smiling sweetly, Yang Tashan casually said, "His cotton shoes stink to death, they still smell like your boots, refreshing..."

Cheng Ziqin's smile faded away, her face turned frosty, and she said coldly, "If you dare to talk about my boots in the future, I won't spare you!" Standing up, flicking his sleeves, walking to the door, stopped again, and turned around. He turned around and said, "You are going to buy a house these two days, and you will come to work after you are done. There are still many things waiting to be done!" Then he walked out and left.

Yang Tashan was a little embarrassed, this Cheng Ziqin was about the same age as him, why was his temper like a child's, he would change as he said, but listening to her last sentence, he still had a little human touch.

Now that he was allowed to leave, Yang Tashan happily left the Yamen with a small box of silver and returned to his residence.

Seeing the young master Yang Tashan changed into black clothes, Xing'er was even more happy when she knew that he was a captor. When Yang Tashan took out the small box of silver and opened it, Xing'er was almost stunned, and asked where he was so much money.

The prefect of Han's loss of official seal must not be talked about nonsense, so Yang Tashan just vaguely said that he solved a big case as soon as he entered the six doors, and the magistrate rewarded him.Xing'er has seen Yang Tashan's ability to solve crimes, so of course she has no doubts.Hearing Yang Tashan said that he was going to buy a house, he was even more excited.

But when it came to where to buy it, both of them were dumbfounded. After all, they were not familiar with Qingyang's real estate industry, so they thought of Tian Nizi and asked her for help.

On the way the two went to Tian Nizi's house, Yang Tashan took a piece of silver in exchange, and was going to wait a while to return Tian Nizi's silver.

When he came to Tian Nizi's house, the servant at the door recognized Yang Tashan as the young coolie who came last time, and knew that he had a good relationship with the wife in charge. Yi Tutou hurriedly bowed his waist and smiled all over his face. An official on the left and a young lady on the right welcomed Yang Tashan and Xing'er into the yard, came to the living room to invite tea, and then rushed to report.

After a while, Tian Nizi walked into the living room with a round fan. When she saw Yang Tashan wearing black clothes and a single knife on her waist, she was both surprised and happy: "Brother Yang! It's only been one night, and you've become a catcher!" Is it? That's great!"

Yang Tashan chuckled: "Thanks to my sister-in-law, who helped me so much, I just entered the yamen and had something to eat. Otherwise, I would still be working part-time as a coolie."

"Look at what you said!" Tian Nizi slapped him affectionately with a round fan, "It's such a small favor, it's a big favor if you help us."

Yang Tashan opened the small box, took out the six taels of silver that he had exchanged on the road just now, and handed it over with both hands: "Sister-in-law of my boss, I solved a case last night and got a large reward, so my sister-in-law advances money to replace it." I asked for the money from the door, and I will return it to you."

Seeing Yang Tashan's small box full of silver, Tian Nizi was a little surprised: "So much reward? Brother, you are really capable!" Pushing Yang Tashan's hand: "The silver I put in is my heart , how can I ask you to pay it back, you are too out of touch!"

"No," Yang Tashan said hastily, "I already appreciate my sister-in-law's kindness, and thanks to my sister-in-law's help, I got this position, and I have to pay back the management fee."

Tian Nizi's face was full of displeasure: "What's the matter? You're going to settle accounts with me, so why don't you have any more contact with me?"

"No, no! I didn't mean that..." Yang Tashan felt that he was a little clumsy at this time.

"It's fine if you don't! If you really want to pay it back, I'm going to get angry and never recognize you as a brother again!" Tian Nizi said with a stern face on purpose.

"Then... this..." Yang Tashan didn't know what to say.

Tian Nizi took his arm: "Brother Yang, I hit you off right away, and I wanted to recognize you as a younger brother, but I don't have that kind of luck, so forget it, if you want to pay back this kindness, then I... I I really have an idea..."

Yang Tashan was a little choked up hearing her words, knowing that she was serious, but just taking advantage of others, he always felt embarrassed, and said: "This... this..."

"Don't do this and that!" Tian Nizi sniffed, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "Now is the time for you to spend money, so don't worry about it with me, is it right or not?"

Hearing her sincere words, Yang Tashan was grateful in his heart, bowed and said, "In that case, thank you sister-in-law!"

"Thank you! It's all from my family." Tian Nizi smiled when he heard that he promised not to pay back the money.

Yang Tashan said again: "I still have something to trouble my sister-in-law. I want to buy a house, but I'm not familiar with the market, so I want to ask my sister-in-law for advice."

Tian Nizi said happily: "Okay! How much money do you have? What kind of house do you want to buy?"

"I have a total of 50 taels of silver now, and two thousand copper coins. I want to buy a brick and tile structure with a small yard. It's closer to the yamen. It's just me and Xing'er, so it doesn't need to be too big."

Tian Nizi shook her round fan and thought for a while, then said: "There was a famine last year, and business was not easy to do. Some foreign merchants lost their money. I know that there are several who lost their money and wanted to sell their houses back. They sold for a long time. It’s not sold either, how about I take you to have a look, okay?”

Yang Tashan was very happy and hurriedly nodded his thanks.Tian Nizi brought a little maid and went out with Yang Tashan and Xing'er.

The properties mentioned by Tian Nizi are not far from Tian Nizi's house, just a few streets away, and very close to the magistrate's office.

There were several courtyards for sale. They spent half a day looking at the houses one by one and bargaining. Finally, they chose a small courtyard with an elegant environment. There were a row of bungalows and a small courtyard inside. The houses were newly built. It also comes with daily furniture, and the yard is relatively spacious, with a peach tree and some flowers and plants planted beside it.

The bungalow has a living room, an en-suite bedroom, a study, a kitchen, and several spare rooms.Quite spacious.The merchants who built this house were also somewhat literate and liked to be arty, so the layout of this courtyard is also elegant and clean.Due to Qingyang's economic downturn, his business lost money, and he was eager to sell the house and return to his hometown, so the asking price was not high. After negotiating with Tian Nizi, he finally settled the deal at 35 taels of silver.

The two parties found Lizheng as a middleman, wrote the purchase and sale deed, and handled the delivery of the deed.

I finally have my own home!Yang Tashan and Xing'er were very happy.Tian Nizi originally said that she would go to Qingyang Restaurant to treat Yang Tashan to congratulate her, but now she not only wanted to celebrate Yang Tashan's becoming a headhunter, but also celebrated her housewarming, so she decided to hold the celebration banquet in the courtyard of her new residence , anyway, in summer, eating and drinking in the yard is more refreshing.

This time, Yang Tashan refused to let Tian Nizi pay for the banquet for him. He bought this property, and there were 17 taels of silver left in the copper coins. Except for their respective bedding and robes, they don't need to buy any big things for the time being, so they still have a lot of money.

Yang Tashan wanted to invite all the bureaucrats and arresters in the yamen. There was a large number of banquets, but he couldn't do it himself, so he ordered a banquet from Qingyang Restaurant and delivered it directly to his home.This is easy.

Do what you say, there is still one afternoon, Tian Nizi and Xing'er help to arrange the banquet, Yang Tashan personally delivered the post, and invited the prefect Han Zhongtian, the fifth-rank co-prefect Zhou Zhuo, and the sixth-rank judge Xing Shi , Shen An, the official of the seventh rank, Mi Shu, the eighth rank, and Mo Kan, the governor of the ninth rank.These are all high-quality officials from the prefect of Qingyang Prefecture.

In addition, Xiao Zhen, the school inspector, and Fan Ren, the jailer, were also invited, then the chief arrester Cheng Ziqin, the three team leaders Luo Yi, Ma Liang and Tian Nizi's cousin Hou Wei, and all the arresters including Tuya. Quick brethren.
