unlucky ghost

Feng Yi ordered the servants to open the door of the room every now and then, and sat outside to drink for himself as if nothing had happened, and occasionally came to the inside to see that Tanzi was lying on the couch depressed, without saying a word, and then left after a while up.

It was early summer, and the pool was like a bird in a cage. After being locked up for a long time, I naturally got used to it. Although I was uncomfortable, I didn't have to worry about eating and drinking after all, but I couldn't enjoy myself every day.

This day Tanzi really slept until noon and didn't wake up until noon. When he woke up, he felt that the light outside was abnormal, so he squinted his eyes and got up, put on his robe, there was already food on the table, he rinsed his mouth, and began to eat unceremoniously.

When I want to drink, I reach out to pick up the wine cup, but it is empty. I pour it into the wine pot, and there is not a drop.

Tan Xi sat aside and smiled sheepishly, and just now when he was not getting up, she couldn't help but secretly drank the wine.

Tanzi threw down the jug in disappointment, finished his meal in a dull mood, and went to the door, looked outside through the thin window paper, and saw a big red sun outside reflecting a blurry image on the window paper. Yuanpan asked, "What day is it today, why is the sun so poisonous?"

The doorman outside stayed up all night, he yawned when he heard the question, looked at the sun, and replied: "Young Master Tan, you are sleepy, it's Lixia today, maybe it's going to rain heavily tomorrow. "

Tan Zishi asked again: "How do you know that there will be heavy rain tomorrow? I think it will be fine today?"

The little fellow replied: "Young master was brought up by a wealthy family, so I don't know it. There is a saying in the village, "When the cloud goes to the east, cars and horses pass; when the cloud goes to the south, the water rises to the pool; Drying wheat', even though there is a big sun in the sky today, the clouds are running fast, and the sky in June will change as soon as it changes."

Tan Zi really found it very interesting, so he smiled and said: "Interesting, your countryside is much more interesting than our deep house and courtyard."

The boy outside had already gotten to know Tan Zishi very well, and he said whatever he thought of, and said, "Young Master, no one in the world wants to be rich, you are living in the blessing and you don't know the blessing."

Tan Zishi shook his head, and said with a wry smile: "If not, you can trade with me, you enjoy wealth and honor in this cage, how about I guard the door for you outside?"

After saying that, both of them laughed helplessly for a while, Tanzi Shizhong sat back beside the table and started pouring tea.

After a while, the door of the room opened, and a swarm of servant girls came in to pack up the leftovers and went out.

The boy re-locked the lock outside, and the big bronze lock clicked three times. Tanzi said honestly: "Why use three locks for me? It's not a waste. I have accepted my fate a long time ago, and I deserve this life." Post it to his Feng family."

The boy outside smiled helplessly and sympathetically.

Suddenly there was a buzzing noise outside the room, and the maids and wives were shouting in shrill voices, vaguely shouting: "It's not good, it's not good, go and call the master and the young master, the young lady has run away."

The guard at the gate hurriedly stood up and ran away.

Tan Zishi leaned over to the door to watch the excitement, poked a hole in the window paper with his fingers, and moved his eyes over it.

Outside the courtyard wall with white walls and gray tiles, people crowded around in the sparse window grilles, making noise for something.

Tanzi really didn't want to look any more, so he still slumped on the couch, covered his face with a fan, and fell asleep in a daze.

As soon as I woke up, the sky outside really changed, and I was drowsy like the sunset. When I listened carefully, there was a faint sound of wind and rain.

Tan Zishi looked out through the hole in the window paper, and saw that it was pouring rain in the dark sky outside, and the cold wind was blowing in through the cracks in the door and window.

Tan Zishi gathered his clothes, and said to the guard at the door: "If you also come in to hide from the rain, your young master will never come in such a heavy rain, and you are afraid that I will run away if you sit in front of me." ?”

The boy was shivering from the cold in the rain. After thinking for a while, he opened the door and locked it inside.

Tanxi stood up reluctantly, gave the stool to the servant, and stood aside to yawn.

The boy rubbed his hands, took off the coir raincoat outside, sat down on the soft stool that Tanxi sat on before, and thanked Tanzi sincerely.

Tanxi walked lazily to the front of the couch, and lay down on her back.

Tan Zishi was so bored all day long that he was worried that no one would talk to him, so he poured tea for him and handed it to him.

The man took a few sips from the teacup and sighed: "Oh, it's strange that everyone seeks wealth and honor, so it turns out that the tea you guys drink tastes like this."

Tanzi smiled, poured him another cup, and asked, "What are you doing in the yard at noon? I didn't know there was a young lady in your Feng family?"

The young man wiped his mouth, and hurriedly said: "Hey, don't mention it, talking about this young lady is really dumbfounding."

Tan Zishi also poured tea, and asked while blowing, "How do you say that?"

The little servant said: "This eldest lady is from the main room of the master. Young master Feng was originally from the side room. It was only because the main room had no children that he was adopted into the main room and counted as his son. This young lady was [-] or [-] years old. He married into the Jiang family when he was young, and in this Jiang family, his ancestors were officials in the imperial court, and now the family has a great career, Master Feng is very satisfied with this marriage."

"The marriage is done. I didn't expect it. A few years ago, the barbarians came here and destroyed several cities in a row. The Jiang family relied on the royal family for generations to prosper. When they saw the barbarians coming, they fled south overnight. At that time The eldest lady was returning to her natal home, and the Jiang family was in a hurry, so they couldn't take care of picking her up. It happened that the young master of the Jiang family was also a liking for the new and dislike the old, so he didn't care about the lady for a long time, so the whole family ran away overnight, even with a letter of divorce. Neither stayed."

Tanzi put down his teacup and sighed, "There are still such unconscionable things in the world."

The boy swallowed and said, "The world is so big, there is nothing wrong."

Tan Zishi nodded, and asked again: "What happened after that?"

The little fellow said: "Jiang's family was arrested by barbarians before they ran to the Yellow River at night. The two armies are in chaos. How can they be allowed to escape and disturb the morale of the army. Now they don't know whether they are dead or alive." Zishi sighed: "It's really a disaster from the sky."

"If you want to say that misfortune comes from the sky, you have to look at our eldest lady to say so." Tan Zi was really puzzled: "How do you say that?"

The little servant said: "Missy went back the next day, and there was only an empty mansion left in the Jiang family. Our master had no choice but to bring Missy back. You scholars often say that children have been affectionate since ancient times, but our young lady is also a Amorous, thinking about that little fair-faced young master of the Jiang family, he didn't think about eating and drinking after he came back, and now his brain is not working well. He is either crazy or stupid all day long. He has invited all famous doctors and immortal doctors, and they all say there is no cure. , the master sent people to guard it every day, and there is no other way."

Tanzi sighed, "It's really a pity."

The boy's mouth was dry, he drank his tea and said: "Isn't it."

There was a desolate wind outside, and the gusty wind slapped the window paper with bean-sized raindrops, soaking a large area immediately.

Tan Zishi asked again: "I don't know what the situation is outside now?"

The little servant sighed: "Oh, I don't know whether it's joy or sorrow when I say it, but I just want to tell you that now the side of the river doesn't hinder the imperial court."

Tanzi was really taken aback, he didn't expect Manzi to be so powerful, he could tear a piece of meat from the hands of the emperor Lao Tzu, he hurriedly asked, "Is it possible that General Pei was defeated?"

The boy said: "After the spring snow in March, the Manzi suddenly raised his troops out of the pass. When he stopped at Chachi Mountain, the Manzi really risked his life to fight. The blood flowed like water. General Pei's [-] to [-] troops unexpectedly He was forced to retreat to the north bank of the river, and now he is carrying it with all his might, the barbarian has no water skills, so he didn't cross the river to pursue him, and now he is just staring at him with big eyes and small eyes."

Tanzi took a sip of tea, remembering the time when he was a general on the battlefield, he still had a lingering feeling in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh, and asked: "In the past, the two countries of Yi and Zhang had the best friendship with the imperial court, and they bowed their heads to be ministers earlier. Why don't you make any movement?"

"Whether they are on good terms or not, whether they are called ministers or not, it's just that they succumb to the court's prestige for a while. Now the two countries are just watching the fire from the other side, just waiting for the signs to fall, and then they will fall. There are two weeds on the wall."

Tanzi clasped a few cases with his fingers and said: "If they don't follow suit, they will burn incense."

The little servant laughed and said: "Exactly. When the barbarians occupied Suicheng, Master Feng sold his family property and moved here with his family. Although he is not as wealthy as before, he is still a rich family with many good mothers." , now the whole world is looking forward to this cessation, the ordinary people and the soldiers are all terribly afraid of war."

Seeing that this man was really good at talking, Tanzi answered ten questions at once, and quickly poured him some tea.

The boy was not polite, he drank the teacup in his arms, and looked outside, the window paper was already half wet, and the rain had not abated. After a while, he stood up, put on the coir raincoat again, and bowed , said: "Thank you Mr. Tan, it's getting late, and the maids should come over to deliver dinner later, I'd better go out early."

Tan Zishi nodded in agreement, and seeing him open the door to leave, he stopped and said, "Go to your young master's study later and ask me for some books. I'm in a hurry, so I can pass the time."

The boy went out the door as promised, and put three big locks on the outside.
