The Plow

Yue Dingtang didn't express any surprise or rebuttal to Ling Shu's remarks, but just hummed calmly.

This means that he also agrees with Ling Shu's opinion.

The few pieces of gold leaf and ivory products, even laymen like them who don't know much about antiques, can see that they are strange. How could the second master, who is keen on collecting and researching antiques, not know?Judging from the behavior of the second master's conversation, I don't know if he is really short of money, but he values ​​money very much. How could such a person easily hand over the valuable carved scriptures to Zhang Chaofeng?

Unless he's lying—

The carved scriptures were not rewarded by the old man, but he stole them from the study.

This is interesting.

One family, several brothers, the oldest, the second, and the fourth, took advantage of the old man's serious illness, stretched out their hands from the study one after another, you took a few pieces, I took a few pieces, and took all the carved scriptures. The old man's study room became a cornucopia, but no matter how much family property I can't stand the extravagance of the brothers.

"There is another interesting place."

After a long journey, they were supposed to wash their bodies, but they couldn't find any servants who could boil water for them. In the end, Yue Dingtang took the money temporarily and asked He Guanshi to set it up, so he got two big buckets of hot water. Let the two take a hot bath separately.

It was the first time for Ling Shu to experience the adventure of going to his cousin's house as a guest, but even having to pay for the bath water himself.

He changed into pajamas, sat cross-legged on the bed, and talked eloquently.

"The old man divided the warehouse keys into five, and asked the sons to open the warehouse and share things together. Isn't this a clear distrust of the sons?"

An old dress was used as a hood, directly covering his head and face.

"Stop talking nonsense, dry your hair and go to bed."

Yue Dingtang pushed him.

"Go to bed."

Ling Shu ruffled his hair slowly: "Can I sleep outside?"

Yue Dingtang raised his eyebrows: "Go to the floor, or go to the next room, choose one of the two."

Ling Shu smiled obsequiously: "I won't say any more!"

He crumpled up his old clothes and threw them under the bed, lying flat and turning over, pulling the quilt, revealing half of his head, half-dry hair still dripping on the pillow.

Yue Dingtang is a bit of a clean freak.

But when Ling Shu was in Yue's house, he slept in his room because of illness, and now he washed the floor clean again, and he didn't resist much, but the dripping hair was really an eyesore, and he couldn't help it. He took a clean towel from the side and wiped the half of the head.

Ling Shu groaned twice, did not resist, and let his head be rounded and flattened under the towel.

"Oh, Lao Yue, I didn't see it. You still have time. If the university professor loses his job in the future, he will probably be able to support himself by going to the bathhouse to help people rub their backs and feet."

"Why does this sound a bit strange to me?" Yue Dingtang's men stopped.

Although there is no way to mess around, Ling Shu is probably too sleepy, and his eyelids are heavy because of his drowsiness. He felt that the other party stopped, and hurriedly said: "Hey, don't stop, this is a compliment, what are you doing?" Anything goes, No.1 in everything!"

Yue Dingtang: "As long as my surname is Yue, as long as the Yue family has not collapsed, even if I am a fool and sit on the podium without saying a word, the school will not fire me, but let me continue to be a decent professor. One day I can't even be a university professor, so I guess if I want to go to the bathhouse, no one will dare to accept it."

Ling Shu's head remained motionless, and he stretched out his thumb from under the quilt: "Bright, clear!"

Yue Dingtang: "Didn't you think that I have not been dazzled by vanity and flashy all these years, and I am quite sober?"

Ling Shu: "How about this, Lao Yue, I came up with a good idea."

Yue Dingtang: "I'm sleepy."

"Don't, listen to it before going to bed!"

Ling Shu got excited, turned over and sat up, with the towel drooping on his head, and a few strands of hair ran out from underneath in a mess.

"What about you, give me some money now, let me open a bathhouse, and I will use the annual income to pay you back, and when you are down and no one dares to accept it, I will definitely hire you as a scrubber, what do you think? "

Yue Dingtang: ...

Very bad.

What kind of shocking, peerless idea is this?

Only then did he notice that Ling Shu's complexion was very fair.

Maybe it's because the wet hair looks black and bright, and the skin looks whiter.

It's not the unhealthy pale or cold white, but the smooth egg white that is exposed after peeling off the membrane under the shell.

There are people in their twenties, and they even brought some baby fat.

"Ouch, let go let go!"

With his mind moving, Yue Dingtang immediately pinched him.

Sure enough, it feels good.

"go to bed!"

There were only two words for Ling Shu's answer.

The towels were taken away and the lights were turned off directly.

There was darkness in front of him.

Ling Shu had no choice but to retract his hands into the bed.

"Hey, Lao Yue, are you asleep, let me tell you a ghost story?"

"The house of the Guan family should have been bought from someone else before, and the surrounding walls have been painted. The house itself may have a history of hundreds of years. This kind of old house will always be haunted by ghosts and ghosts. I was on the way back just now. I just heard a servant from the Guan family say something, do you want to listen?"

"Old Yue, let's save face, it's rare for us to sleep together, don't you have any joy and nostalgia?"

Not only did Yue Dingtang not respond, but he also took a long, even breath.

Ling Shu had no choice but to shut up at last.

He likes to sleep with the light on, even if it is a small candle with a little light, it will not fall into the boundless darkness in his sleep.

This weakness was discovered by Yue Dingtang very early on, and the other party tried it several times intentionally or unintentionally.

Ling Shu doesn't care to let Yue Dingtang test it, this weakness is not insurmountable, but when there is a light, he will never treat himself harshly.

Close your eyes, and the feeling of having more people around you is also very clear.

Ling Shu reluctantly persuaded himself not to care about the fact that he was in the dark.

He thought he would toss and turn and couldn't fall asleep, but he didn't expect that he fell asleep just after a few breaths of thought.

Maybe it's too tired.

Yue Dingtang was also very tired.

He falls asleep quickly.

In the dream, he was eating donkey meat pot, but it was not with the second master Guan, but with his family.

At that time, the relationship between the eldest brother and the second brother was not so rigid, the parents had not passed away, and the third sister had not yet married. They were all present, with all brothers and sisters, and there were old family members like Uncle Zhou beside them.

A true reunion.

His mother kept adding vegetables to his bowl, asking him to eat more. Even though he had already grown up, his mother still looked at him like a child.

In the past, Yue Dingtang couldn't bear such stares, and always felt that his mother was nagging, saying that his ears would grow calluses after a few words.

He is precocious and steady, and he didn't need his parents and elders to say much. He was read a lot, and he didn't say anything, but he still didn't take it seriously in his heart.

It wasn't until a few years after his mother passed away that Yue Dingtang felt more and more how precious the memories of his youth were, and even if he wanted to hear his mother nagging, he couldn't hear it anymore.

All kinds of things in the past have become treasures.

Including when they were studying, they competed and quarreled, and even they were classmates who were rivals in love.

His mother was still picking up vegetables, and he couldn't eat anymore. The feeling of fullness became more and more obvious. Yue Dingtang hurriedly got up and said that he was full. Who knew that his mother smiled, turned around and threw a big fish at him. Come over, throw it back and say: "You are starving, this fish has a lot of meat, eat it first!"

Yue Dingtang couldn't take it in time, he was directly crushed to the ground by this big fish, he couldn't breathe.

"I don't want to eat it, you take it away, how can I eat raw fish!"

He finally couldn't help shouting, but no one extended a helping hand to him at all. The Yue family continued to sit around and eat, chatting and laughing happily, as if they didn't even see that Yue Dingtang was about to be crushed to death by a big fish.

Yue Dingtang suddenly opened his eyes!

sweating a lot.

If there is a big stone in the chest, I can't breathe.

He reached out to grope, only to find that the quilt had been swept away by Ling Shu, and the other half was pressed on him like a sushi roll.

No wonder I dream about big fish.

He said his mother could not do such a mentally handicapped thing.

Yue Dingtang took a breath and pushed the man away.

The entire quilt was swept away by Ling Shu, and he rolled directly to the other side of the bed, seemingly not awake.

Yue Dingtang stretched out his hands to pull the quilt, and after pulling for a long time, he was pressed by the opponent, unable to pull at all.

He had no choice but to give up.

Yue Dingtang got up and was going to look for another quilt. He remembered that just now Manager He asked someone to move another quilt and put it in the next room, so that they could go and get it if they didn't have enough.

As soon as he reached for his coat, Yue Dingtang heard a scream.

what! ! ! !

The cry came from afar, but it resounded through the silent night sky.

"Go to the water!"

"There's a ghost!"
