How to break into Liaozhai
Chapter 68 Debt Collector
Coming out of his parents' upper room, Wang Rui went directly to the guest room to find He Yunyi.
He stopped at the door, straightened his clothes first, checked the clothes, and after making sure there was nothing inappropriate, he said: "He Yunyi, can I go in?"
There was no movement inside, so he knocked on the door and called again: "He Yunyi?"
The moment his finger touched the door panel, he felt like he was bitten by a snake, his whole body trembled, he was bounced off immediately, and fell to the ground.
He sat on the ground blankly, what is going on?Why would it be bounced off?
"What are you doing sitting on the ground?" At this time, Yan Yunguang came from the corner, saw Wang Rui sitting on the ground stupidly, frowned and asked, "Isn't it cool?"
Wang Rui looked at him and said nothing, Yan Yunguang didn't care about him, but came to the door of He Yunyi's room: "Brother, go drink."
Seeing no movement inside, Yan Yunguang blinked suspiciously, then raised his hand and pushed the door: "I'll go in..."
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to be bitten by something, shook his hand, and jumped back a few steps.
Wang Rui regained his balance. It turned out that it wasn't just for himself.
"You sat on the ground because of this?" Yan Yunguang thought it over, and asked Wang Rui, "Why didn't you remind me?"
Wang Rui got up and patted the dust off his body: "I thought it was my problem, but I didn't expect you to be rejected too."
"Yeah, it's normal for you to be ostracized. Whoever told you to talk nonsense with that mouth, I'm innocent." Yan Yunguang sighed: "But, forget it, brother must not want people to disturb him, let's go."
"Is he, is he alright?" Generally, people stay behind closed doors, because they want to attract others' attention and give them care.
"What's the matter? It must be that the senior brother felt that he wasted too much time on Jinse, and wanted to hurry up and mend the static that was left before." Yan Yunguang said: "Let's go and eat."
It makes sense for Wang Rui to think about it. He used to meditate often before, but since he went to Caozhou with him and encountered various things, he was busy every day, and he really didn't have much time to meditate: "Then, let's go eat, he What should I do, aren't you hungry?"
Yan Yunguang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, let alone retreat for a day or two, it is possible in one or two hundred years."
Wang Rui thought to himself, don't wait for 200 years. If so, wouldn't he never see him before he died of old age.
But since Yan Yunguang said it was okay, it might be okay, so Wang Rui left with him.
Yan Yunguang loves to drink very much, and after drinking wine, his personality becomes more forthright. After drinking for three rounds, he said straight from his heart: "I used to think that you are very annoying, but now you are not stingy and entertain me with good wine. He is definitely not a bad person, and he must be a bold person." Then he patted Wang Rui on the shoulder: "Your wine is good."
People who entertain you with good wine are not bad people. I said Yan Chixia, you see people are so superficial, they will be deceived when they go out.
"You really have a good eye for wine. These wines were brewed and buried in the ground by my grandfather's generation. Although they are not a hundred years old, they are not much different! You can tell when a good wine is bad when you drink it. It's amazing!"
Yan Chixia enjoyed it very much, she laughed and drank a few more glasses.
Wang Rui can drink quite well, but he is not Yan Yunguang's opponent. After getting a little drunk, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, I still have birthday wine to drink tomorrow, so I can't drink any more, otherwise I won't be able to wake up tomorrow morning." coming."
"Huh? One-year-old wine?" Yan Yunguang became interested: "Is there any good wine?"
"Maybe..." Seeing that he was interested, Wang Rui said, "If you don't mind, you can go with me."
Yan Yunguang nodded drunkenly: "Okay, if you are not drunk, you will not return!"
Wang Rui suspected that he didn't hear clearly what the banquet was, and he was ready to go to the banquet when he heard the word "wine".
But it is also possible that he heard clearly, and he would not let go of even a drop of the one-year-old wine.
He nodded: "Then I'll call you tomorrow morning."
Wang Rui ordered the servant girl to take good care of Yan Yunguang, eat and drink whatever she wanted, and retreated by herself.
He came to He Yunyi's guest room again, the door couldn't be opened just now, but the window hadn't been tried yet, so seeing no one around, he sneaked to the window.
He didn't know why he had to act like a thief in his own home.
Facing the window edge, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, the pain just now was vivid in his mind.
Taking a deep breath, he went all out and pushed hard. This time, he was not hit, but unfortunately, the window was not pushed open, and he must have been chained from the inside.
Wang Rui had no choice but to stretch out his index finger, punctured the window paper, squinted his eyes and looked in, and saw He Yunyi sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.
He breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he was here, and almost thought he was gone.
He squeezed the punctured window paper, tried his best to cover up the traces of his presence, then left with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune in his heart.
-
The next day, Wang Rui got up early in the morning, went to He Yunyi's guest room to "peep" and made sure he was still there, and then went out with peace of mind.
When he was about to wait for the car, he ordered the boy to ask Yan Yunguang if he still wanted to drink the first-year wine. Although he felt that he had drunk too much yesterday and asked for it casually, it was still right to ask him before going.
After waiting for a while, Yan Yunguang strode out, patted his head and smiled, "Fortunately you called me, otherwise I almost forgot."
Wang Rui raised his eyebrows: "Then get in the car."
After the two got into the carriage, the carriage headed towards the country farm.
At this time, Yan Yunguang smiled and said: "By the way, what kind of banquet are we having? You told me yesterday, but I didn't hear you clearly."
"One-year-old wine."
Yan Yunguang showed a very disappointed expression, but when he thought about it, he had to drink any wine, so he put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and said, "I'll sleep, call me when I arrive."
Wang Rui said, "Okay." He also closed his eyes again, not taking a nap, but thinking about how to make amends to He Yunyi.
The carriage bumped all the way to the Wang's farm.
Du Zhong, the general manager of the farm, is over sixty, and he just embraced his grandson today. In this dynasty, he belongs to the old grandson.
Wang Rui and Yan Yunguang were escorted to the Du's compound, and went directly to the living room to sit down.
Du Zhong, his wife, and his son and daughter-in-law all came out to salute the Young Master's family.
"Don't be polite. You are the masters of the birthday party at your family today. I'm here to send blessings. Don't pay too much attention to me." Wang Rui winked at the entourage at the side, and the entourage brought a few plates, which were given by the host. congratulatory gift.
Du Zhongzhong said in fear: "Oh, how can this make it happen? The boss has already treated us well. My grandson is only celebrating his first birthday, so why spend so much money?"
"My father said that you are an old servant of the Wang family, and you should be treated generously. Besides, if you are old and have a grandson, Master Zhuangzi should also celebrate the prosperity of the family."
Du Zhong bowed his head with a bitter face and said: "Young master is right, it's just us..." As he spoke, he glanced at his wife and son meaningfully.
Wang Rui saw something strange: "Why, is there any difficulty?"
At this time, Du Zhong's son said bluntly: "If we go back to Shaodong's house, in fact, we don't want to have this birthday wine, but a Taoist priest told us a few days ago that holding wine can wash away evil spirits and keep this child. Next, but now it seems that it is a complete lie, this wine has cost a lot of money, and this child can't be kept."
Yan Yunguang frowned: "Taoist? Like me?"
Because Yan Yunguang was brought by Shaodong's family, the Du family dared not say anything bad about him, so they quickly put aside: "He is a crazy Taoist priest. He is not very old, but he is very crazy, but we think he has a bit of a fairy spirit. , so I asked him to come in to treat my child, but I didn't expect to come up with a bad idea."
Wang Rui looked at Yan Yunguang, implying that the Du family encountered a difficult mystery, and wondered if you could help.
"What happened to you guys, tell me, I promise I won't come up with bad ideas." Yan Yunguang said.
Wang Rui said: "Guard Du, if you have anything to say, just talk to him, I can guarantee that there are not a few Taoist priests who are more powerful than him in the whole world."
"Then please trouble the Taoist." Du Zhong bowed first, since the young master agreed, there must be a guarantee: "That's right, when my grandson was born, I had a dream, and you dreamed that someone entered my house I asked him what the money was, and he went into the house without saying anything, and I tore with him, and then I Woke up, at this time my son came to tell me that my daughter-in-law was born prematurely and just gave birth to a fat boy."
Du Zhong's daughter-in-law took up the conversation: "My old man is very sure that this child is here to collect debts. He made a box and put [-] yuan in it. Everything the child spends is taken from it. Our whole family didn't believe him at first. If so, I think it is a nightmare made by sleepiness.
But later, things were really strange. This child has been tossing people since he was born. One day he has a headache and the next day he has a brain fever. People paid him money. "
Du Zhong said to his daughter-in-law: "Don't meddle, tell me to talk to the young master and the Taoist priest alone."
His wife had to stand aside.
Du Zhong continued: "Having been raised for more than half a year, more than half of the [-] yuan has been spent. The child is getting more and more dizzy, as if frost has hit him, and he sleeps all day long. It seems that he will not be able to support him, but at this time I already have feelings, how can I watch him die, even the debt collectors have to stay, we just want to find someone who understands these things and break it.
A few days ago, we happened to meet a crazy Taoist. We thought about it. Anyway, the masters of the world are different from ordinary people, so we invited him into the house. The child is the life of a boy, so we are told to give the child a birthday party, and the child will not return to heaven when he sees the world so good.
I didn't think about it, it would cost more to do this, and the child will die soon, and I don't know if he can survive tonight.Daoist, please do me a favor and help us keep the child. "
After hearing this, Yan Yunguang just said, "Bring that child to me to have a look."
The Du family quickly went to pick up a one-year-old child. This child was thin and weak, not as cute and rich as a one-year-old child. He looked like a hell kid who had just starved to death, with sunken eyes and indifferent eyes.
As soon as Yan Yunguang saw him, he was overjoyed: "It's said that you are a cheapskate, you are a cheapskate, you would rather come to this world for nothing, and you have to get back your [-] yuan."
After listening to Yan Yunguang's words, the baby gave him a supercilious look.
Yan Yunguang said: "Hehe, you are not short-tempered."
Du Zhong said pessimistically: "Is it possible that my grandson can't be rescued?"
"Your grandson is not a child, but a cheapskate who didn't know when your family owed money in his life. He came to collect the bill. By the way, how much money is left in your box."
Du Zhong said: "There are only seven hundred coins left."
Yan Yunguang said: "There is only a little left, you can save a little and figure it out."
The baby pursed his lips, and his attitude was really that of a debt collector who collected debts, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
The child's father is also Du Zhong's son. Seeing this, he took a step forward and said to the baby: "There are only [-] yuan left, and it will cost money to buy you funeral items. You can figure it out."
After the baby listened, under the watchful eyes of everyone, his eyes widened as if he was thinking, but after a while, he rolled his eyes and swallowed his breath.
Du Zhong was so frightened that he hurriedly touched his grandson's nose, and he really didn't have any breath at all. He said angrily, "You bastard, what are you talking about?!"
"Didn't you say that, he is a debt collector! Why keep him, die early and be clean!"
When the father and son were angry, they heard Du Zhong's wife say: "It's not good, my daughter-in-law has passed out."
This woman, who had no chance to speak from the beginning to the end, witnessed the child being "sent away" by her husband, and fainted in a panic.
The crowd carried her to the back room in a chaotic manner, while Du Zhong stayed behind and said to Wang Rui with a mournful face, "What should we do?"
Before Wang Rui could answer, Yan Yunguang said first: "What should I do, anyway, the debt collector is gone, let me breathe a sigh of relief."
Du Zhong said gratefully: "Master Dao is right."
Wang Rui nodded, thinking, what you said is right.
But Yan Yunguang's next sentence had the urge to make Wang Rui vomit blood, so he heard him say, "When will the banquet start?"
His grandson just died, and you actually asked him when the banquet will start?
Du Zhong was not angry: "The meeting will start in a while."
Wang Rui said: "This... in the current situation, there is no need to hold the meeting."
"The Young Master's family doesn't know that this village didn't have anything delicious to eat all year round. The farmers are looking forward to this feast to satisfy their hunger. Now that all the money has been spent and the pigs are killed and made into dishes, we can't just withdraw the banquet just because of the child. There will be more people who are disappointed like that.”
Anyway, everyone doesn't really care about Du Zhong's grandson, they just look for opportunities to come and eat and drink.
"That's the reason. You don't have to be too desperate. Maybe there is a grandson waiting to come to your door who plans to collect 4000 taels of debt from you. In that case, you will be able to raise him for a long time. Haha." Wang Rui's eyes are not good. To himself, Yan Yunguang was inexplicable: "What's wrong?"
Wang Rui said: "Are all children debt collectors?"
"Oh, that's not necessarily the case. It's also possible that someone owes you money. They will be reincarnated as your descendants in this life. They will show filial piety to you. They will make you enjoy good fortune in your old age and pay off your debts." Yan Yun Guang suddenly said: "So, don't be too entangled in the matter of children and heirs, what should come will eventually come."
Du Zhong said worriedly: "Then tell me, is this [-]-dollar child owed by my son? We don't remember any money owed to others."
Yan Yunguang said: "I told you not to get entangled, it doesn't mean you owe it in a lifetime, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it, anyway, he has already collected the debt and left."
Du Zhong couldn't help nodding: "You are right, this way please, I will arrange a table for you two."
The Du family covered up the news of their grandson's death, and it didn't make sense to cancel the news. Anyway, they were just looking for a reason to eat and drink, and the child itself was not important.
The so-called upper table is just the front seat of the running water table in the courtyard. When Wang Rui was eating, children from the Zhuangzi kept coming to watch him, so he picked up the candy on the table and gave them to them, telling them to be happy Go on and play.
Yan Yunguang came here for a drink, took a sip of the wine, and took a deep breath: "This wine is strong!"
Then, while disgusted with the strong smell of wine, he drank a lot, and after the first-year wine was over, Wang Rui's entourage helped him into the carriage.
Wang Rui recalled what happened yesterday. It seemed that Yan Yunguang easily agreed to something when he was drunk, and his memory was not very good. He pondered for a while and said, "I have something to ask you."
"...Say..." Yan Yunguang said in a daze, "What's the matter?"
"A house in my house is haunted and harms people. I want to ask you to do a ritual for me to save those ghosts."
"I don't overdo it... just kill it! It's already hurting people, so what's the point..."
Wang Rui said: "Then... how about I take you there when our academy is on vacation? In Lin County, the journey is not very far."
Yan Yunguang waved his hand: "No problem! It's as trivial as an ant!" After speaking, he tilted his head and fell asleep.
Wang Rui smiled, look, there is no need to alarm He Yunyi, his junior is fine, after all, why kill a chicken with a knife.
Back at Wang's house, he ordered his followers to take Yan Yunguang to rest, while he went to his parents' room to report the situation.
Wang Yongde was very surprised when he heard that the child died on his first birthday, and he was even more surprised when he heard that the child came to collect debts, so he had a lively discussion with his wife.
When Wang Rui left, he heard the couple still discussing at the door, he shrugged his shoulders, it seems that his parents didn't have much debt in their previous life, otherwise why would they only have two children.
If you look at it this way, those old Lai are miserable, and they have to be their sons to pay off their debts for several lifetimes.
Although Wang Rui told Yan Yunguang that the college would be on vacation the day after tomorrow, it was calculated based on the previous five-day break, and he didn't know if there was any special case for the college to have a vacation when he was away. If the holidays were messed up, it might not be the day after tomorrow.
He thought about it and decided to go to the academy himself tomorrow.
Wang Rui walked back and forth for nearly two months. As soon as he appeared, his friends surrounded him and asked him what he was doing. He answered truthfully that he was going on a blind date, but the two sides didn't see each other right, so he just went outside and had a good time. I came back after being relieved.
Wei Xingxian said: "During your absence, don't mention how boring we are. If you don't come back, we will make a list to find someone."
At this time, Wang Rui noticed that Huang Jiulang's seat was still empty.Has he been away from school?Do you want to find him when you are free?
Since he is his rightful person, is it because of himself that he comes to school?
When Wang Rui came back to his senses, Wei Xingxian and the others said with a smile: "Then it's settled!"
What? It's settled, he looked at them suspiciously.
"Give Brother Wang a chance tonight, that's it!"
It was another meal for eating and drinking. He remembered what happened in the comfort zone of Jinse's small underworld, and thought to himself, why he was not happy at all when he returned to the comfort zone?
Yes, can you be happy, after all, there is a prankster at home.
Wei Xingxian's villa in the suburbs was chosen as the place to meet the wind without any suspense. As usual, he was accompanied by prostitutes, with good wine and food.
Although Wang Rui lacks interest, in order to take care of his friends' emotions, he deliberately showed high interest and chatted with them.
While chatting and talking about strange things, Ma Xiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "A few days ago, someone saw a ten-foot-long snake on the back mountain. There are red cockscombs. This is not a snake spirit."
Wang Rui listened expressionlessly. Having experienced all kinds of ghosts, he was no longer interested in the little snake spirit.
If you have even ridden a dragon, would you still pay attention to snakes?
Huo Ke said: "You don't know it now, the snake with the cockscomb is probably going to turn into a dragon, and then it will turn into a dragon. I heard people from the older generation say it."
"Then our Yangxin County is going to have a dragon?"
Wei Xingxian was not interested: "Even if we become a dragon, it has nothing to do with us."
Huo Ke agrees with this opinion: "Indeed, it's okay if you see the real dragon and can pass the imperial examination."
Wang Rui drank the wine silently, thinking to himself, if that was the case, he might win the number one prize, but Bai Qiyuan didn't say that he had this effect.
Ma Xiao asked: "Your younger brother has not seen the real dragon, so he is about to enter the imperial examination. By the way, I heard that your father sent him to the academy in Jinling to study. Aren't you married to the Wang family? Married?"
Only then did Wang Rui know that his brother-in-law was sent away, so he looked at Huo Ke: "Is that so, I didn't even know."
"Although the judge later gave my father a dream to clear up the misunderstanding, but because of this incident, my father felt that my brother was really stubborn. If he married your sister, he would stop studying if he didn't get married, so he told him to go to school first. Zhongju will get married again." Huo Ke said: "This matter was discussed between the two families, why, didn't uncle tell you?"
Wang Rui shook his head, maybe his father forgot, or thought he learned about it from a friend.
It's not bad to call Huo Huan Zhongju first and then marry his younger sister. He has the motivation this time, and he will definitely be named on the gold list. Besides, Qing Yuan is still young, so it's not too late to marry after staying at home for a few years.
"Don't talk about snakes and dragons, it has nothing to do with us anyway, just talk about beautiful women." Wei Xingxian asked with a smile on his face, "Big beauty, who of you wants to see it?"
Wang Rui was the first one who was not interested, and was about to let go of his consciousness, when Wei Xingxian continued: "My father's friend passed by us on his way home from his post. He has a daughter named Xiaoqian, who is said to be very attractive. Do you want to be full?" Good luck?"
This ear made Wang Rui tremble all over, Xiaoqian?
Could it be that Xiaoqian.
Wang Rui interjected and asked, "What's the name of this uncle's friend?"
Wei Xingxian replied: "My surname is Nie. So that lady's full name is Nie Xiaoqian, but she is a famous beauty!"
The real surname is Nie, the famous Nie Xiaoqian!Wang Rui clenched his fist and thought excitedly, knowing that he would have the luck to meet Nie Xiaoqian.
Now that Nie Xiaoqian is still human, it can be seen that she is still far away from her grandmother doing evil.
I don't know how Xiaoqian died. Could it be that she died when she came to Yangxin County this time?
Although these scholars are enthusiastic about beauties, they have to face the danger of being caught by the magistrate, and others are not very interested.
On the contrary, Wang Rui, who usually doesn't care about beauty, showed extraordinary enthusiasm this time: "I want to see it! I want to see it!"
Huo Ke joked: "This is not like you. After traveling far away, your temper has changed."
Wei Xingxian said with a smile: "Look, Brother Wang is still blessed. It doesn't matter if the usual vulgar fans don't look at it. This Nie Xiaoqian is said to be extremely famous, so I can't help but look at it. Let me ask again. If you want to look at it, there is still time."
The more he said that, the more lack of interest everyone showed: "No, lest I be caught by your father."
Wang Rui is not afraid, everything is worth it just to take a look at this famous person: "It's okay, I'm not afraid!"
Wei Xingxian praised: "That's interesting! Tomorrow we play hooky, come to my house in the morning, and we'll take a good look at this Nie Xiaoqian." He said with a "sure" expression.
Wang Rui immediately high-fived Wei Xingxian and swore: "Okay, see you there then!"
Skipping class to see Nie Xiaoqian tomorrow, and going to the haunted house the day after tomorrow, his schedule is full.
Seeing the two of them like this, everyone grinned. Look, it must be a blown-out beauty, and it will definitely disappoint you.
Wang Rui didn't know much about the world of Liaozhai, and the one he knew best was "Nie Xiaoqian". It was an event that he knew the plot of.
He was in a good mood, drank a few more glasses, and when the banquet was over, the first thing he did when he got home was to see He Yunyi.
Seen from the hole in the window, He Yunyi is still the same, still maintaining the posture of meditation.
Wang Rui sighed, what's the matter with you, have you entered the standby dormant state?
But He Yunyi was in such a state that he was too embarrassed to disturb him, so he walked back and forth outside the door a few times, and left reluctantly.
As I walked, I thought, don’t worry, I’ll go to see Nie Xiaoqian first, after watching her, I’ll come back to see you.
He stopped at the door, straightened his clothes first, checked the clothes, and after making sure there was nothing inappropriate, he said: "He Yunyi, can I go in?"
There was no movement inside, so he knocked on the door and called again: "He Yunyi?"
The moment his finger touched the door panel, he felt like he was bitten by a snake, his whole body trembled, he was bounced off immediately, and fell to the ground.
He sat on the ground blankly, what is going on?Why would it be bounced off?
"What are you doing sitting on the ground?" At this time, Yan Yunguang came from the corner, saw Wang Rui sitting on the ground stupidly, frowned and asked, "Isn't it cool?"
Wang Rui looked at him and said nothing, Yan Yunguang didn't care about him, but came to the door of He Yunyi's room: "Brother, go drink."
Seeing no movement inside, Yan Yunguang blinked suspiciously, then raised his hand and pushed the door: "I'll go in..."
Before he finished speaking, he seemed to be bitten by something, shook his hand, and jumped back a few steps.
Wang Rui regained his balance. It turned out that it wasn't just for himself.
"You sat on the ground because of this?" Yan Yunguang thought it over, and asked Wang Rui, "Why didn't you remind me?"
Wang Rui got up and patted the dust off his body: "I thought it was my problem, but I didn't expect you to be rejected too."
"Yeah, it's normal for you to be ostracized. Whoever told you to talk nonsense with that mouth, I'm innocent." Yan Yunguang sighed: "But, forget it, brother must not want people to disturb him, let's go."
"Is he, is he alright?" Generally, people stay behind closed doors, because they want to attract others' attention and give them care.
"What's the matter? It must be that the senior brother felt that he wasted too much time on Jinse, and wanted to hurry up and mend the static that was left before." Yan Yunguang said: "Let's go and eat."
It makes sense for Wang Rui to think about it. He used to meditate often before, but since he went to Caozhou with him and encountered various things, he was busy every day, and he really didn't have much time to meditate: "Then, let's go eat, he What should I do, aren't you hungry?"
Yan Yunguang waved his hand: "It doesn't matter, let alone retreat for a day or two, it is possible in one or two hundred years."
Wang Rui thought to himself, don't wait for 200 years. If so, wouldn't he never see him before he died of old age.
But since Yan Yunguang said it was okay, it might be okay, so Wang Rui left with him.
Yan Yunguang loves to drink very much, and after drinking wine, his personality becomes more forthright. After drinking for three rounds, he said straight from his heart: "I used to think that you are very annoying, but now you are not stingy and entertain me with good wine. He is definitely not a bad person, and he must be a bold person." Then he patted Wang Rui on the shoulder: "Your wine is good."
People who entertain you with good wine are not bad people. I said Yan Chixia, you see people are so superficial, they will be deceived when they go out.
"You really have a good eye for wine. These wines were brewed and buried in the ground by my grandfather's generation. Although they are not a hundred years old, they are not much different! You can tell when a good wine is bad when you drink it. It's amazing!"
Yan Chixia enjoyed it very much, she laughed and drank a few more glasses.
Wang Rui can drink quite well, but he is not Yan Yunguang's opponent. After getting a little drunk, he smiled apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, I still have birthday wine to drink tomorrow, so I can't drink any more, otherwise I won't be able to wake up tomorrow morning." coming."
"Huh? One-year-old wine?" Yan Yunguang became interested: "Is there any good wine?"
"Maybe..." Seeing that he was interested, Wang Rui said, "If you don't mind, you can go with me."
Yan Yunguang nodded drunkenly: "Okay, if you are not drunk, you will not return!"
Wang Rui suspected that he didn't hear clearly what the banquet was, and he was ready to go to the banquet when he heard the word "wine".
But it is also possible that he heard clearly, and he would not let go of even a drop of the one-year-old wine.
He nodded: "Then I'll call you tomorrow morning."
Wang Rui ordered the servant girl to take good care of Yan Yunguang, eat and drink whatever she wanted, and retreated by herself.
He came to He Yunyi's guest room again, the door couldn't be opened just now, but the window hadn't been tried yet, so seeing no one around, he sneaked to the window.
He didn't know why he had to act like a thief in his own home.
Facing the window edge, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, the pain just now was vivid in his mind.
Taking a deep breath, he went all out and pushed hard. This time, he was not hit, but unfortunately, the window was not pushed open, and he must have been chained from the inside.
Wang Rui had no choice but to stretch out his index finger, punctured the window paper, squinted his eyes and looked in, and saw He Yunyi sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes closed.
He breathed a sigh of relief, it was good that he was here, and almost thought he was gone.
He squeezed the punctured window paper, tried his best to cover up the traces of his presence, then left with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune in his heart.

The next day, Wang Rui got up early in the morning, went to He Yunyi's guest room to "peep" and made sure he was still there, and then went out with peace of mind.
When he was about to wait for the car, he ordered the boy to ask Yan Yunguang if he still wanted to drink the first-year wine. Although he felt that he had drunk too much yesterday and asked for it casually, it was still right to ask him before going.
After waiting for a while, Yan Yunguang strode out, patted his head and smiled, "Fortunately you called me, otherwise I almost forgot."
Wang Rui raised his eyebrows: "Then get in the car."
After the two got into the carriage, the carriage headed towards the country farm.
At this time, Yan Yunguang smiled and said: "By the way, what kind of banquet are we having? You told me yesterday, but I didn't hear you clearly."
"One-year-old wine."
Yan Yunguang showed a very disappointed expression, but when he thought about it, he had to drink any wine, so he put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes and said, "I'll sleep, call me when I arrive."
Wang Rui said, "Okay." He also closed his eyes again, not taking a nap, but thinking about how to make amends to He Yunyi.
The carriage bumped all the way to the Wang's farm.
Du Zhong, the general manager of the farm, is over sixty, and he just embraced his grandson today. In this dynasty, he belongs to the old grandson.
Wang Rui and Yan Yunguang were escorted to the Du's compound, and went directly to the living room to sit down.
Du Zhong, his wife, and his son and daughter-in-law all came out to salute the Young Master's family.
"Don't be polite. You are the masters of the birthday party at your family today. I'm here to send blessings. Don't pay too much attention to me." Wang Rui winked at the entourage at the side, and the entourage brought a few plates, which were given by the host. congratulatory gift.
Du Zhongzhong said in fear: "Oh, how can this make it happen? The boss has already treated us well. My grandson is only celebrating his first birthday, so why spend so much money?"
"My father said that you are an old servant of the Wang family, and you should be treated generously. Besides, if you are old and have a grandson, Master Zhuangzi should also celebrate the prosperity of the family."
Du Zhong bowed his head with a bitter face and said: "Young master is right, it's just us..." As he spoke, he glanced at his wife and son meaningfully.
Wang Rui saw something strange: "Why, is there any difficulty?"
At this time, Du Zhong's son said bluntly: "If we go back to Shaodong's house, in fact, we don't want to have this birthday wine, but a Taoist priest told us a few days ago that holding wine can wash away evil spirits and keep this child. Next, but now it seems that it is a complete lie, this wine has cost a lot of money, and this child can't be kept."
Yan Yunguang frowned: "Taoist? Like me?"
Because Yan Yunguang was brought by Shaodong's family, the Du family dared not say anything bad about him, so they quickly put aside: "He is a crazy Taoist priest. He is not very old, but he is very crazy, but we think he has a bit of a fairy spirit. , so I asked him to come in to treat my child, but I didn't expect to come up with a bad idea."
Wang Rui looked at Yan Yunguang, implying that the Du family encountered a difficult mystery, and wondered if you could help.
"What happened to you guys, tell me, I promise I won't come up with bad ideas." Yan Yunguang said.
Wang Rui said: "Guard Du, if you have anything to say, just talk to him, I can guarantee that there are not a few Taoist priests who are more powerful than him in the whole world."
"Then please trouble the Taoist." Du Zhong bowed first, since the young master agreed, there must be a guarantee: "That's right, when my grandson was born, I had a dream, and you dreamed that someone entered my house I asked him what the money was, and he went into the house without saying anything, and I tore with him, and then I Woke up, at this time my son came to tell me that my daughter-in-law was born prematurely and just gave birth to a fat boy."
Du Zhong's daughter-in-law took up the conversation: "My old man is very sure that this child is here to collect debts. He made a box and put [-] yuan in it. Everything the child spends is taken from it. Our whole family didn't believe him at first. If so, I think it is a nightmare made by sleepiness.
But later, things were really strange. This child has been tossing people since he was born. One day he has a headache and the next day he has a brain fever. People paid him money. "
Du Zhong said to his daughter-in-law: "Don't meddle, tell me to talk to the young master and the Taoist priest alone."
His wife had to stand aside.
Du Zhong continued: "Having been raised for more than half a year, more than half of the [-] yuan has been spent. The child is getting more and more dizzy, as if frost has hit him, and he sleeps all day long. It seems that he will not be able to support him, but at this time I already have feelings, how can I watch him die, even the debt collectors have to stay, we just want to find someone who understands these things and break it.
A few days ago, we happened to meet a crazy Taoist. We thought about it. Anyway, the masters of the world are different from ordinary people, so we invited him into the house. The child is the life of a boy, so we are told to give the child a birthday party, and the child will not return to heaven when he sees the world so good.
I didn't think about it, it would cost more to do this, and the child will die soon, and I don't know if he can survive tonight.Daoist, please do me a favor and help us keep the child. "
After hearing this, Yan Yunguang just said, "Bring that child to me to have a look."
The Du family quickly went to pick up a one-year-old child. This child was thin and weak, not as cute and rich as a one-year-old child. He looked like a hell kid who had just starved to death, with sunken eyes and indifferent eyes.
As soon as Yan Yunguang saw him, he was overjoyed: "It's said that you are a cheapskate, you are a cheapskate, you would rather come to this world for nothing, and you have to get back your [-] yuan."
After listening to Yan Yunguang's words, the baby gave him a supercilious look.
Yan Yunguang said: "Hehe, you are not short-tempered."
Du Zhong said pessimistically: "Is it possible that my grandson can't be rescued?"
"Your grandson is not a child, but a cheapskate who didn't know when your family owed money in his life. He came to collect the bill. By the way, how much money is left in your box."
Du Zhong said: "There are only seven hundred coins left."
Yan Yunguang said: "There is only a little left, you can save a little and figure it out."
The baby pursed his lips, and his attitude was really that of a debt collector who collected debts, which made people feel very uncomfortable.
The child's father is also Du Zhong's son. Seeing this, he took a step forward and said to the baby: "There are only [-] yuan left, and it will cost money to buy you funeral items. You can figure it out."
After the baby listened, under the watchful eyes of everyone, his eyes widened as if he was thinking, but after a while, he rolled his eyes and swallowed his breath.
Du Zhong was so frightened that he hurriedly touched his grandson's nose, and he really didn't have any breath at all. He said angrily, "You bastard, what are you talking about?!"
"Didn't you say that, he is a debt collector! Why keep him, die early and be clean!"
When the father and son were angry, they heard Du Zhong's wife say: "It's not good, my daughter-in-law has passed out."
This woman, who had no chance to speak from the beginning to the end, witnessed the child being "sent away" by her husband, and fainted in a panic.
The crowd carried her to the back room in a chaotic manner, while Du Zhong stayed behind and said to Wang Rui with a mournful face, "What should we do?"
Before Wang Rui could answer, Yan Yunguang said first: "What should I do, anyway, the debt collector is gone, let me breathe a sigh of relief."
Du Zhong said gratefully: "Master Dao is right."
Wang Rui nodded, thinking, what you said is right.
But Yan Yunguang's next sentence had the urge to make Wang Rui vomit blood, so he heard him say, "When will the banquet start?"
His grandson just died, and you actually asked him when the banquet will start?
Du Zhong was not angry: "The meeting will start in a while."
Wang Rui said: "This... in the current situation, there is no need to hold the meeting."
"The Young Master's family doesn't know that this village didn't have anything delicious to eat all year round. The farmers are looking forward to this feast to satisfy their hunger. Now that all the money has been spent and the pigs are killed and made into dishes, we can't just withdraw the banquet just because of the child. There will be more people who are disappointed like that.”
Anyway, everyone doesn't really care about Du Zhong's grandson, they just look for opportunities to come and eat and drink.
"That's the reason. You don't have to be too desperate. Maybe there is a grandson waiting to come to your door who plans to collect 4000 taels of debt from you. In that case, you will be able to raise him for a long time. Haha." Wang Rui's eyes are not good. To himself, Yan Yunguang was inexplicable: "What's wrong?"
Wang Rui said: "Are all children debt collectors?"
"Oh, that's not necessarily the case. It's also possible that someone owes you money. They will be reincarnated as your descendants in this life. They will show filial piety to you. They will make you enjoy good fortune in your old age and pay off your debts." Yan Yun Guang suddenly said: "So, don't be too entangled in the matter of children and heirs, what should come will eventually come."
Du Zhong said worriedly: "Then tell me, is this [-]-dollar child owed by my son? We don't remember any money owed to others."
Yan Yunguang said: "I told you not to get entangled, it doesn't mean you owe it in a lifetime, if you can't figure it out, don't think about it, anyway, he has already collected the debt and left."
Du Zhong couldn't help nodding: "You are right, this way please, I will arrange a table for you two."
The Du family covered up the news of their grandson's death, and it didn't make sense to cancel the news. Anyway, they were just looking for a reason to eat and drink, and the child itself was not important.
The so-called upper table is just the front seat of the running water table in the courtyard. When Wang Rui was eating, children from the Zhuangzi kept coming to watch him, so he picked up the candy on the table and gave them to them, telling them to be happy Go on and play.
Yan Yunguang came here for a drink, took a sip of the wine, and took a deep breath: "This wine is strong!"
Then, while disgusted with the strong smell of wine, he drank a lot, and after the first-year wine was over, Wang Rui's entourage helped him into the carriage.
Wang Rui recalled what happened yesterday. It seemed that Yan Yunguang easily agreed to something when he was drunk, and his memory was not very good. He pondered for a while and said, "I have something to ask you."
"...Say..." Yan Yunguang said in a daze, "What's the matter?"
"A house in my house is haunted and harms people. I want to ask you to do a ritual for me to save those ghosts."
"I don't overdo it... just kill it! It's already hurting people, so what's the point..."
Wang Rui said: "Then... how about I take you there when our academy is on vacation? In Lin County, the journey is not very far."
Yan Yunguang waved his hand: "No problem! It's as trivial as an ant!" After speaking, he tilted his head and fell asleep.
Wang Rui smiled, look, there is no need to alarm He Yunyi, his junior is fine, after all, why kill a chicken with a knife.
Back at Wang's house, he ordered his followers to take Yan Yunguang to rest, while he went to his parents' room to report the situation.
Wang Yongde was very surprised when he heard that the child died on his first birthday, and he was even more surprised when he heard that the child came to collect debts, so he had a lively discussion with his wife.
When Wang Rui left, he heard the couple still discussing at the door, he shrugged his shoulders, it seems that his parents didn't have much debt in their previous life, otherwise why would they only have two children.
If you look at it this way, those old Lai are miserable, and they have to be their sons to pay off their debts for several lifetimes.
Although Wang Rui told Yan Yunguang that the college would be on vacation the day after tomorrow, it was calculated based on the previous five-day break, and he didn't know if there was any special case for the college to have a vacation when he was away. If the holidays were messed up, it might not be the day after tomorrow.
He thought about it and decided to go to the academy himself tomorrow.
Wang Rui walked back and forth for nearly two months. As soon as he appeared, his friends surrounded him and asked him what he was doing. He answered truthfully that he was going on a blind date, but the two sides didn't see each other right, so he just went outside and had a good time. I came back after being relieved.
Wei Xingxian said: "During your absence, don't mention how boring we are. If you don't come back, we will make a list to find someone."
At this time, Wang Rui noticed that Huang Jiulang's seat was still empty.Has he been away from school?Do you want to find him when you are free?
Since he is his rightful person, is it because of himself that he comes to school?
When Wang Rui came back to his senses, Wei Xingxian and the others said with a smile: "Then it's settled!"
What? It's settled, he looked at them suspiciously.
"Give Brother Wang a chance tonight, that's it!"
It was another meal for eating and drinking. He remembered what happened in the comfort zone of Jinse's small underworld, and thought to himself, why he was not happy at all when he returned to the comfort zone?
Yes, can you be happy, after all, there is a prankster at home.
Wei Xingxian's villa in the suburbs was chosen as the place to meet the wind without any suspense. As usual, he was accompanied by prostitutes, with good wine and food.
Although Wang Rui lacks interest, in order to take care of his friends' emotions, he deliberately showed high interest and chatted with them.
While chatting and talking about strange things, Ma Xiao lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "A few days ago, someone saw a ten-foot-long snake on the back mountain. There are red cockscombs. This is not a snake spirit."
Wang Rui listened expressionlessly. Having experienced all kinds of ghosts, he was no longer interested in the little snake spirit.
If you have even ridden a dragon, would you still pay attention to snakes?
Huo Ke said: "You don't know it now, the snake with the cockscomb is probably going to turn into a dragon, and then it will turn into a dragon. I heard people from the older generation say it."
"Then our Yangxin County is going to have a dragon?"
Wei Xingxian was not interested: "Even if we become a dragon, it has nothing to do with us."
Huo Ke agrees with this opinion: "Indeed, it's okay if you see the real dragon and can pass the imperial examination."
Wang Rui drank the wine silently, thinking to himself, if that was the case, he might win the number one prize, but Bai Qiyuan didn't say that he had this effect.
Ma Xiao asked: "Your younger brother has not seen the real dragon, so he is about to enter the imperial examination. By the way, I heard that your father sent him to the academy in Jinling to study. Aren't you married to the Wang family? Married?"
Only then did Wang Rui know that his brother-in-law was sent away, so he looked at Huo Ke: "Is that so, I didn't even know."
"Although the judge later gave my father a dream to clear up the misunderstanding, but because of this incident, my father felt that my brother was really stubborn. If he married your sister, he would stop studying if he didn't get married, so he told him to go to school first. Zhongju will get married again." Huo Ke said: "This matter was discussed between the two families, why, didn't uncle tell you?"
Wang Rui shook his head, maybe his father forgot, or thought he learned about it from a friend.
It's not bad to call Huo Huan Zhongju first and then marry his younger sister. He has the motivation this time, and he will definitely be named on the gold list. Besides, Qing Yuan is still young, so it's not too late to marry after staying at home for a few years.
"Don't talk about snakes and dragons, it has nothing to do with us anyway, just talk about beautiful women." Wei Xingxian asked with a smile on his face, "Big beauty, who of you wants to see it?"
Wang Rui was the first one who was not interested, and was about to let go of his consciousness, when Wei Xingxian continued: "My father's friend passed by us on his way home from his post. He has a daughter named Xiaoqian, who is said to be very attractive. Do you want to be full?" Good luck?"
This ear made Wang Rui tremble all over, Xiaoqian?
Could it be that Xiaoqian.
Wang Rui interjected and asked, "What's the name of this uncle's friend?"
Wei Xingxian replied: "My surname is Nie. So that lady's full name is Nie Xiaoqian, but she is a famous beauty!"
The real surname is Nie, the famous Nie Xiaoqian!Wang Rui clenched his fist and thought excitedly, knowing that he would have the luck to meet Nie Xiaoqian.
Now that Nie Xiaoqian is still human, it can be seen that she is still far away from her grandmother doing evil.
I don't know how Xiaoqian died. Could it be that she died when she came to Yangxin County this time?
Although these scholars are enthusiastic about beauties, they have to face the danger of being caught by the magistrate, and others are not very interested.
On the contrary, Wang Rui, who usually doesn't care about beauty, showed extraordinary enthusiasm this time: "I want to see it! I want to see it!"
Huo Ke joked: "This is not like you. After traveling far away, your temper has changed."
Wei Xingxian said with a smile: "Look, Brother Wang is still blessed. It doesn't matter if the usual vulgar fans don't look at it. This Nie Xiaoqian is said to be extremely famous, so I can't help but look at it. Let me ask again. If you want to look at it, there is still time."
The more he said that, the more lack of interest everyone showed: "No, lest I be caught by your father."
Wang Rui is not afraid, everything is worth it just to take a look at this famous person: "It's okay, I'm not afraid!"
Wei Xingxian praised: "That's interesting! Tomorrow we play hooky, come to my house in the morning, and we'll take a good look at this Nie Xiaoqian." He said with a "sure" expression.
Wang Rui immediately high-fived Wei Xingxian and swore: "Okay, see you there then!"
Skipping class to see Nie Xiaoqian tomorrow, and going to the haunted house the day after tomorrow, his schedule is full.
Seeing the two of them like this, everyone grinned. Look, it must be a blown-out beauty, and it will definitely disappoint you.
Wang Rui didn't know much about the world of Liaozhai, and the one he knew best was "Nie Xiaoqian". It was an event that he knew the plot of.
He was in a good mood, drank a few more glasses, and when the banquet was over, the first thing he did when he got home was to see He Yunyi.
Seen from the hole in the window, He Yunyi is still the same, still maintaining the posture of meditation.
Wang Rui sighed, what's the matter with you, have you entered the standby dormant state?
But He Yunyi was in such a state that he was too embarrassed to disturb him, so he walked back and forth outside the door a few times, and left reluctantly.
As I walked, I thought, don’t worry, I’ll go to see Nie Xiaoqian first, after watching her, I’ll come back to see you.
