unlucky ghost

The man was wearing a gold-printed official robe, with an official belt around his waist, with a bright, round and blessed face, squinting his eyes and smiling at Fei Zuzi.

It was Liu Xunzhou who was right.

Master Tan was about to get out of the car, but his body was weak and his legs and feet were not stable. He tried several times but failed to stand up.

Liu Xunzhou saw it, and hurried up to support Master Tan's arm, and said, "Uncle, don't be too polite, my nephew is here to make amends."

Master Tan thought that he was still feeling guilty about retiring the engagement, so he quickly waved his hands and said, "You can't force things about your sons and daughters, nephew, don't blame yourself."

Liu Xunzhou helped Master Tan to get out of the carriage, bowed to Master Tan, and said, "This is one of them, my nephew has been waiting here for a long time, but there is still one thing to say to uncle."

Grandpa Tan and Monk Zhang Er couldn't figure it out.

"My nephew came here to make amends to my uncle on behalf of my second aunt. This time the yamen closed down the medicine shop in my uncle's house. It was actually my aunt who instigated her. She secretly bought some small merchants and went to the yamen to file a complaint. The money was stuffed, and I originally wanted to arbitrarily accuse my uncle, but I didn't expect to find out the fault."

Liu Xunzhou looked at Master Tan's face, paused, and said, "But my nephew knows uncle's character best. As the saying goes, no one is perfect, no one has gold and no bare feet, no one can be perfect without any mistakes."

Master Tan blushed.

"Uncle Tan, let's go back to the old business with peace of mind. This matter started because of my Liu family, and it will naturally be settled by my Liu family. My father always said that Uncle Tan's family has a life-saving kindness to my family. Even if we can't get married, I Liu Xunzhou You can't just watch your uncle suffer."

After Liu Xunzhou finished speaking, he bowed his hands and saluted, "Nephew still has official business, so we really can't delay, the yamen is already in order, and my nephew is relieved to see my uncle, so my nephew... I will leave. "Liu Xunzhou turned around to leave, Master Tan hurriedly raised his hand to stop him, and said in a hoarse voice: "How is your father now?"

Liu Xunzhou turned around from a distance, and said with a gloomy face, "I'm afraid...I'm afraid I won't be able to last for a few days."

When Master Tan heard the words, his face showed sadness, and he shook his body.

"If uncle is free, let's go to the house and have a look. My father... My father always thinks about Brother Tan in his heart..." Seeing that he was about to cry, Liu Xunzhou hurriedly turned around and walked through the car Ma Xingren disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Zhou Fei supported Master Tan's elbow and sent him into the carriage.Master Tan's arm is as thin as a hemp stick, and it is very uncomfortable to hold it in his hand.

The carriage went steadily all the way to the house.

Walking to a tea shop, the crowd in front blocked the road.

Zhou Fei was about to take a detour, but Master Tan opened the curtain to look into the crowd.

Surrounding the front is the Feng family's shop.

The servants of the Feng family were bowing to the people outside, and a few small merchants standing in the front began to throw tables and smash tea bowls without saying a word, and a few ordinary people behind them threw rotten vegetables and leaves into the shop, cursing: "Kill this old bastard who doesn't pay back his debts!"

The other scolded: "Small this mess, you dishonest dog rich man!"

"Clatter" and "Bang Dang"——

The tea bowl was broken all over the floor, and the plaque in front of the shop fell off.

Fei Zuzi usually likes to join in the fun. Seeing so many people cursing around Feng's house, he couldn't help grinning, and said: "I think how powerful Feng's family was when they bullied others. No shopkeeper in a street dared to say it at his door." It’s a dirty word, I didn’t expect to be punished so soon.”

When Mr. Tan looked into the messy shop of Feng's house, a vicious face suddenly appeared inside, and a pair of angry eyes stared straight at Mr. Tan's face.

Master Tan trembled in shock.

Seeing Master Tan's pale face and black lips, Zhou Fei knew that he felt ashamed after seeing this scene, so he flicked his horse whip, and the carriage turned around and walked away.

But it is said that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings.

Master Tan fell ill when he returned to the mansion that day, his whole body was hot and his limbs were weak, his mind was so dizzy that he couldn't even speak a personal word.

Originally, he had been holding on for the past few days. Seeing that the Tan family was in a catastrophe, he dared not call himself ill. He held on until today. Once the case was settled, the seal of the yamen was removed, and this was loosened. In one breath, the person collapses.

Wen Zhong invited the doctor to come, and the doctor frowned and prescribed the prescription, and repeatedly told him to have a good life, and he must not make any more fuss, and shook his head and walked out of the house.

While Wen Zhong sent people to grab the medicine, he asked Qin Qing to invite someone from the young master.

When the medicine was ready, Wen Zhong held it in his hands and carried it to Mr. Tan's bedside to feed the medicine.

Qin Qing came back with a dark face and said, "Housekeeper Wen, young master...he...he refuses to come..."

Wen Zhong glanced at him, waved his hand and told him to go out.

Master Tan stayed in bed for several days, and merchants from other places often came to visit in carriages, and the mansion was even more lively than usual.

A few days later, there was an endless stream of people coming and going, Master Tan really didn't have the strength to sit up and talk to those people, so he asked Wen Zhong to receive him in person, stayed for dinner and sent him out of the house.

For the past few days, Tan Zishi has been obediently lying on the bed reading, and moved the two colorful parrots from under the eaves to the bedside, knocking on their foreheads to teach them to speak.

"Little bastard, you have to call master auspicious when you see me, call master auspicious soon..."

Tan Zishi threw two small snacks into the troughs of the two parrots, and the two red-billed parrots just ate with their heads down, without looking up.

"Conscientious bastard!" Tanzi slapped the two parrots on the forehead angrily.

A parrot's head was knocked into the trough by Tan Zishi, and the rice cake covered his face raised his head and shook his face at Tan Zishi, shouting: "Dirty bastard, dirty bastard!"

Someone laughed out loud with a "puchi" outside.

Tan Zishi looked up, and saw two heads dangling outside the window, with long necks, laughing inside.

"What are you laughing at, didn't you see that I'm busy?" Tan Zishi raised his eyes and glared at the two of them, then lay back on the couch with his arms under his head.

Qing Gu joked with a smile: "Master, I'm really in a good mood today."

Lingyu stood next to him outside the window, but she didn't smile, she turned sideways to tease the two little birds under the eaves.

Tanzi said: "Why do you come here when you have nothing to do? Are you busy in the tent?"

Qing Gu smiled, looked at the big sun in the sky, and said: "Jiang Han is enough for the accountant, our business is not as good as it used to be, why do we need so many people?"

Tan Zishi turned over and faced inward, without making a sound.

Lingyu smiled and said: "Master, the sky outside is just right, at least come out more to get some fresh air, I'm so bored."

Tanzi was asleep and seemed motionless.

The two parrots had had enough, flapped their wings and called, "Little Pigeon" and "Stupid Slave".

After a while, Qing said: "Master, take care of yourself."

After finishing speaking, the two turned around and picked up the burden on the ground, and went straight out of the mansion.

After a while, Tan Zishi turned over and sat up. There was no one outside the window, as if he had a dream.

A few strands of golden sunlight slanted into the window, and the window pane cast a large sparse shadow on the ground.

"Tuk tuk tuk", the door was knocked hard three times, and the thin chain on the big iron lock shook.

"Master, are you awake?" Wen Zhong put his ear to the door and asked in a low voice.

"Stupid slave!" A parrot shouted busily inside.

Another parrot called: "Dirty..."

Tan Zi quickly pinched the parrot's beak and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Master, it's been a few days, and the master has already lost his temper. Why don't you open the door and come out to breathe?"

Tanzi actually snorted, but didn't speak.

Wen Zhong pressed against the door panel again and said: "Master, the master has become more and more ill these days, and has been talking about you in a drowsy state. You should come out and see the master..."

Master Tan was indeed talking about him, and when he regained consciousness a little bit, he stroked his chest and only scolded him as a rebellious son, an unfilial son, a bastard, and so on...

There was really no movement in the pool for a long time.

"Small... young master?"

There was a crash inside, and the teapot was broken on the ground. Tanzi really disdainfully said: "If I don't go, I'm not stupid. If I go, I will be scolded by him, and if I am angry, won't I be scolded if I lose my breath?" Unfilial son."

Wen Zhong secretly said, no one in Suicheng knows that there is an unfilial son in the Tan family, what kind of filial son is he pretending to be at the moment, he can only persuade: "Young master is worrying too much, the master is seriously ill, and he is eager to think about it. Joy turns anger..."

"Don't go, don't go, that old man is a Shennong family. He hasn't eaten any herbs. He has been invulnerable to all poisons for a long time. How could he get into the loess so easily." Tan Zishi looked out of the window and said, "He He never has a good face when he sees me, if he really wanted to see me, why would he have gone earlier."

Wen Zhong sighed outside and walked away sullenly.

Early the next morning, it was Jiang Han who knocked on the door and asked softly through the door, "Master, are you awake?"

"Jiang Han?" Tanzi asked suddenly inside.

Jiang Han was a little blunt, and smiled slightly: "It's me, why haven't you come out for a few days, it's humid inside, it's good for you to come out to bask in the sun."

Tan Zishi kept his mouth shut, and said sullenly in his heart: "That old man only knew that he was angry, but never thought that I was also angry. Since I was not asked to vent my anger, I just stayed in the room alone, so slow." Swallow this anger slowly, and see him less so as to give him less air."

Standing outside, Jiang Han pursed his lips and couldn't stop laughing, touched the door panel that was warmed by the sun with his hands, and said to the inside: "Everyone says you are ignorant, filial and fraternal, but in fact, you are the one under the sun. The most filial and most fraternal person, if you are angry in your heart, why don't you speak out? Although I can't help you, I can share some of the burden for you, which is better than being sullen yourself. "

Tanzi is really red-eyed, and the person who has grievances in his heart can't be comforted by words. A few words can make the river bank in his heart collapse, and the grievances can't be hidden.

Tanzi actually wiped his tears for a while.

Jiang Han waited outside for a while, when the parrot inside called out: "Stupid slave."

Tanzi hurriedly raised his sleeve and wiped his face indiscriminately, knocked on the parrot's head with a smile, took out the key from under the pillow, and opened the door.

Jiang Han was standing with his back to the door, when he heard the door creak open behind him, he turned around and saw Tanzi standing in front of him in disheveled clothes.

"You've come out." Jiang Han smiled slightly, reaching out to gather his clothes for him.

Tan Zishi raised his hand to touch Jiang Han's face, and asked, "Why are you so thin? Could it be that something happened to your family?"

"Well, it's not a big deal." Jiang Han diverted his words, and said, "I'm fine, but you, who haven't seen the sun for so many days, don't look very good."

Tan Zishi drooped his eyelids, the sun outside was very dazzling.

Tan Zishi lifted his feet and walked outside, and suddenly stopped on the corridor, turned around and asked Jiang Han, "Jiang Han, will I annoy him again if I just go to see that old man like this?"

Jiang Han said with a smile: "Your father usually annoys you for your own good. He really wants to see you these two days."

Tan Zishi frowned and walked forward, walked to the door of his father's bedroom, and knocked on the door deliberately.

Pushing open the door, Liu Xunzhou was helping Master Tan to sit up.

"A while ago, I asked my uncle to visit my father often. Why did my uncle get sick when he said he was sick, and my nephew couldn't come here in time because he was on business..." As soon as the door opened, Liu Xunzhou hurriedly stopped talking. .
