How to break into Liaozhai

It is true that Mr. Huo is angry, but most of it is acting. In front of others, he must act like he wants to kill his son, so as to get others' forgiveness.

At this time, Huo Ke snatched the candlestick: "Father, there is no doubt about teaching my brother a lesson, but the most urgent thing is to apologize to the Wang family, let's talk about the rest at home."

After hearing this, Mr. Huo let go of his old face and apologized to Wang Yongde and the Zhao family. He is considered a respectable figure in the city. For his son's fault, he humbly apologized. Go to the government, and when the time comes, the fame of the scholar will be gone, and this life will be ruined.

They all lived in the same place, and they couldn't see each other when they looked up. Wang Rui and Huo Ke were friends again. Seeing that the Huo family had a good attitude and admitted their mistake, Wang Yongde hurriedly accepted him and helped Master Huo up: "Forget it, children are not sensible. Just take it back and discipline it properly."

Wang Rui also came to help Master Huo, and said: "Uncle, just now I was a little emotional because I was worried about my sister, so I may have spoken a little too aggressively, so don't take it personally."

Master Huo dared not take it to heart: "My nephew said nothing, our family is sorry for you."

As a result of the meeting between the two families, the Huo family took Huo Huan back to strictly discipline them, and pretended that this incident had never happened today. As for getting married, don't even think about it.

When Master Huo and Huo Ke pushed the younger son to go out, Wang Rui caught up with Huo Ke and handed him the small shovel: "This is your brother's crime tool, return it to you."

Huo Ke looked helpless and sorry, put away the shovel, and patted Wang Rui on the shoulder: "I'm sorry, I'll treat you another day, let's talk again."

Wang Rui knew that the Huo family and his son were going to play doubles against Huo Huan tonight, so he nodded silently and sent them away.

The next day, Wang Rui told his sister everything that happened last night, including the perpetrator's details. Qing Yuan didn't want to see Huo Huan at all, but when he learned that he dug the wall into his house with evil intentions, he hated him even more , bah bah bah a few times: "It's disgusting, I can't see that he is this kind of person, I will never marry him in my life."

Although the Huo family took Huo Huan back to discipline him, the Wang family was still worried that if the kid was not safe enough, other magic weapons would dig in through the wall, so they arranged more night watchmen every night, even the inner courtyard was patrolled by strong servants.

Wang Rui was gearing up to think, if that little bastard dared to come again, this time he would not be lenient, and he would definitely be beaten until he couldn't take care of himself.

After the Huo family took their son back, they strictly disciplined them, locked them in the house and did not allow them to go out, and confiscated the shovel that committed the crime. According to Huo Ke, the shovel was taken away by his father, and he didn't know what to do with it.

Because the two families deliberately suppressed the news, the situation soon became calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, as relatives of the Huo family, Zhu Erdan's family had heard some rumors about Huo Huan's sudden grounding, but they might not believe it. They only knew that there was a rift between them and the Wang family.

Father Zhu thought to himself that Huo Huan, as Master Huo's favorite youngest son, was grounded because of his feud with the Wang family. Would his son's clumsy tongue also annoy the Wang family's son, and he ran a small shop at home? Can't afford to offend the Wang family.

He called his son over and asked, did Wang Rui get offended recently?

Zhu Erdan was puzzled: "I haven't seen him recently, how can I mess with him?"

Father Zhu thought the same thing, since his son got Ruiyun, he really spent more time at home, although he didn't go out much before.

"It's fine if you don't get offended, go back and study." Father Zhu sent his son away.

Zhu Erdan returned to the East Chamber where he lived. He did not marry a wife. Ruiyun's current status in the family is a maidservant, but everyone knows that she is actually Zhu Erdan's concubine. concubine.

Seeing him come back, Rui Yun, who was doing needlework, put down her work and poured tea for him: "Did you find out about Lu Pan?"

Ever since the farewell in the Hall of Ten Kings, Lu Pan has visited Zhu Erdan's room from time to time.The first time Ruiyun saw her, she was so frightened that she passed out, but the second time she was much calmer, and then she calmed down. Now seeing Lu Pan, it is as normal as meeting Zhu Erdan's friends.

It's just that other than the two of them, the rest of the Zhu family didn't know about it, especially Mrs. Zhu and Mrs. Zhu. If the two old people knew, they would have to be frightened.

"It's not about this. They asked me if I offended Wang Rui. I don't know what's going on. I don't know why. Forget it. Don't think about it." He doesn't know how to think deeply, but chooses to put it aside for the time being, and forget it after putting it aside.

Ruiyun smiled bitterly, Zhu Erdan is indeed not a smart person, his brain is rigid at best, and it is like a piece of elm at worst, but elm is also as good as elm, that is, he treats people sincerely, so he is willing to redeem Ruiyun and take her It's good to treat her when she comes back, and the elders of the Zhu family can't treat her, Ruiyun is satisfied with the current situation.

The only worry is that the dark spots on my face have enlarged again, and now they are as big as the mouth of a bowl.

She was really afraid of going on like this, both her face and her body had dark spots.

Zhu Erdan suddenly slapped his head: "Today is the fifth day of the lunar new year, brother Lu may come, you go and buy some wine to prepare in the house, in case he comes at night, I will have a drink with him."

Ruiyun agreed, and prepared food and drinks that night.

Just as Zhu Erdan guessed, a gust of wind opened the door at night, and Lu Pan, who was wearing a red official robe and a green face, pushed the door open and came in: "Haha, I'm here to drink again."

"The wine and food have been prepared, please sit down quickly." Zhu Erdan served Lu Pan wine in person with his hospitality.

The two had a drink as before. During the meeting, Lu Juan suddenly said mysteriously: "I have been entertained by you for so long, and I have nothing to repay you. Why don't I give you an open heart in a few days."

Zhu Erdan didn't understand, so he asked, "Can I still give my heart? Is there any extra?"

"You don't know, when a sinner goes to the underworld, if he suffers the punishment of cutting out his heart and lungs, those hearts, livers and lungs will be thrown aside, let alone one or two extra, they will be piled up into a hill. I counted that in a few days there will be two Jinshi on the list will suffer this punishment, and I will bring his heart to replace it with you. After this, it will be difficult for you not to write beautiful articles." Lu Ban said: "Your articles are not good because you don't understand them well. It stands to reason that you should Change your mind, but you are really blocked, why don't you just change it."

How can a scholar not want to be quick-witted, Zhu Erdan knelt down to Lu Juan immediately: "If it is true, I will be worshipped by the students."

Lu Juan took a sip of his wine slowly, and said with a smile: "I never tell lies, just wait, as soon as I win Jinshi's heart, I will come over and replace it for you!"

Ruiyun heard the conversation between the two clearly in the back room, frowning, how can she listen to the words of ghosts and gods, can the heart be changed casually? !Really drunk.

-

In a blink of an eye, the end of the year is approaching, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days. Wang Rui and other scholars brought gifts to visit the head of the academy. Professionals, whether it is Confucianism attainments or character, are passable, but the students themselves are not up to date.

Cui Shanchang likes to be quiet. When he is not teaching, he lives near a valley far away from the county seat. He raises a few servants and lives a simple and elegant life.

From Wang Rui's point of view, Tao Yuanming's self-sufficient life of self-cultivation and self-sufficiency, and occasional visits to leisurely leisure, really made him crazy to come and live for ten days and a half months.

The others didn't say anything, but they had the same idea as Wang Rui, so after visiting the head of the mountain, everyone didn't want to stay overnight, and they all left because they hated the poverty here.

Wang Rui, Wei Xingxian and Huo Ke went back to the city all the way. Because of Huo Huan's incident, Huo Ke was very unconfident when he saw Wang Rui. , and the Huo family discussed that when the spring of next year begins, they will send him to the academy in Jinling to study, and they will not let him stay in Yangxin County.

Wang Rui's carriage walked side by side with Huo Ke's, and the two talked to each other, Wang Rui said very "magnanimously": "Oh, why bother, he is just young and ignorant, just educate him well, you think, Aren't we too smart at that age to do things?"

It's a good feeling, and it's best to send this little scourge away.

Huo Ke shook his head: "Hey, let's not talk about him, anyway, I hope the academy in Jinling can make him develop character."

At this time, Wei Xingxian's carriage driver said: "There is a small hotel in front, let's rest and have a warm meal before we go on our way."

At this time, it was almost evening. After having a meal, I rushed back to the city in one breath. I was able to go in when the city gate was closed. In fact, Wei Xingxian was there, even if the city gate was closed, he could call it open, so of course everyone didn't want to go hungry. , Just when it was time to eat, I stopped to eat.

This so-called hotel is just a room, open the door, a few tables, and a chunky boss dozing off behind the counter.

The servant of the Wei family patted the counter: "Shopkeeper, serve the food!"

The boss woke up suddenly, and shouted: "Mother, come out, there are guests."

This is a husband-and-wife shop, the husband and wife are both clerks and cooks, understand that there is nothing to eat in this small shop, everyone just ask them to warm up.So the boss recommended: "Why don't you try the hand-rolled noodles with pork?

Everyone was not picky, and they all nodded in agreement, and asked the boss and the boss's wife to do it.

The couple turned around and went into the back kitchen, leaving everyone waiting in the hall to eat.

However, although the hotel is broken, it is very tidy, which is good. People like Wang Rui will never eat in unclean places.

In fact, it doesn't matter what you eat, these people don't lack oil and water in their stomachs, the most important thing is that there is a place to temporarily eat hot food and rest their feet in cold windy days.

"Look, this store is dilapidated, but the murals are of a high level, they are just lifelike." Wei Xingxian pointed to the murals on the two walls and said, "It's exquisite. I never imagined that this ruined temple in the mountains could have such painting skills."

The murals occupy the walls on both sides, and the content is complex. There are several groups of pictures such as noble men entertaining guests, women pounding rice, and girls admiring flowers.

Wang Rui tilted his head and appreciatively said: "It's really good, but although it's exquisite, it's very messy. It's hard to see what the theme is, and there are such murals in a hotel, don't you think it's a bit weird?"

Huo Ke stared at the part where the girl was admiring the flowers. There was a girl holding flowers and smiling. Her small cherry mouth was slightly raised, as if she was smiling at him.He only felt that this girl looked very much like Rui Yun before she was disfigured, and he didn't feel that she was in a daze, and her thoughts gradually came out of her body.

Wei Xingxian didn't notice Huo Ke's performance, and after listening to Wang Rui's words, he also agreed with him: "It's really messy, but there's no reason for this kind of small shop, you can paint whatever you want." These murals, suddenly, he felt that the noble guests on the murals moved and waved to him.

Wei Xingxian rubbed his eyes, but this rubbing not only did not remove the illusion, but also made him see more clearly. The guests in the painting were indeed waving to him.

He was courageous, grinning, and beckoning to them. This waving didn't matter, but he felt that his body lost weight, and he got into the mural with a gust of wind.

Wang Rui's nose was itchy, he lowered his head and sneezed, and said to his friend beside him, "It's really cold in the sky." There was no response, and he glanced casually, stunned, where is the person?

Wei Xingxian and Huo Ke are gone!

He was obviously by his side just now, so he turned around and asked the others: "Where are Mr. Huo and Mr. Wei? Which of you saw it?"

All the members of the family were chatting, and didn't pay much attention to their young master. Besides, they were all sitting in the same room. If there was anything wrong, they wondered if they could lose it, so they didn't stick their eyes on the two.

As a result, the sky was so clear and bright, and the two living people, who were still grown men, disappeared right under their noses.

This is too weird, right? !

At this time, no matter how dull the crowd was, they exclaimed: "This store is weird!"

Wang Rui and Wenshun immediately ran to the back kitchen, opened the curtain of the kitchen to have a look, but there was no sign of the couple.

There is no back door in this store, and they will disappear when they enter. It can only be said that they cannot be human beings.

"Master, this is too weird, it's haunted." Wen Shun said tremblingly.

Wang Rui slapped Wenshun hard: "Don't say that word!"

"Are you afraid?" Wen Shun tugged on Wang Rui's sleeve: "The little ones are also afraid."

They didn't dare to stay in the kitchen, and turned back to the lobby. As a result, when they saw the situation in the lobby, they almost fell down.

There was no one in the lobby!

"Master, look, does the person eating with the person in the painting look like Mr. Wei?" Wen Shun pointed to the group of murals where the nobles feasted on guests.

Wang Rui squinted his eyes and took a closer look, isn't it? I don't know when there was an extra person on the picture. That face and clothes were clearly Wei Xingxian, who was drinking with the person in the picture, looking at the expression on his face.

On the other side, a man exactly like Huo Ke also appeared in the picture, following behind a flower-appreciating woman, saying something affectionately.That appearance, with flattery on his face, made people want to punch him a few times.

And the servants of the three families can also be found on the screen, or they are stuck in the corner of the screen in twos and threes with ignorant faces, or they are entangled with the women and girls in the painting.

When Wang Rui was thinking about what to do, Wen Shun said with emotion: "The woman who pounded rice is really plump..."

When Wang Rui looked in the direction of his voice, he was gone.

In the mural, next to a woman pounding rice, there is an extra servant who kneels down and stretches the corner of her skirt.

In the lobby, it was empty, only Wang Rui was left alone.
