Strange Records of Xijing

"Young master, Daoist Su, there is a person outside who claims to be the manager of the Li family and wants to see Daoist Su."

"The Li family?" Pei Jingxing put down his chopsticks, "Why is the manager of the Li family here?"

The servant who sent the message was at a loss: "I don't know the details, but the steward of the Li family said that the third lady of his family escaped a catastrophe only two days ago thanks to Daoist Su's help. It's just that the third lady of the Li family escaped a catastrophe this morning. Something strange appeared on his body again, the elders of the Li family had no choice but to send him over to disturb Daoist Su."

Two days ago, it was the day when Pei Jingxing and Su Yan went out for an outing.The two immediately thought of the girl who insisted on dancing that day when her feet were bleeding on the grass, and knew that this incident must be unusual.

Su Yan and Pei Jingxing looked at each other, they were connected with each other, and they saw the same plan in each other's eyes.Pei Jingxing told the boy: "You take him to the front hall."

"Yes."

The boy took orders and withdrew.

"What do you think about this?"

Su Yan shook his head: "This incident is very strange. I saw a little bit of evil spirit on her that day, and it didn't look like she was infested or possessed by evil spirits."

"Isn't it evil?" Pei Jingxing became more and more confused, "Could it be that he suddenly lost his mind and went crazy?"

Su Yan still shook his head: "It's hard for anyone to come to a conclusion now, it's better to go first and meet up."

Pei Jingxing couldn't help asking: "Are you going to see me?"

Su Yan was taken aback for a moment, and asked back, "Don't you want to go?"

Pei Jingxing rubbed his nose: "It's not that I don't want to go, but I think it's not good for a girl who has never left the cabinet to always see outside men."

In fact, the folk customs in the Zhou Dynasty were open, and there was not much restraint on women. No matter whether it was Xiaojiabiyu or a lady of the family, there was no need to guard the rules of not going out of the door.As for a girl who hasn't left the court to see her boyfriend openly, that's also not a big deal.

When Pei Jingxing said this, he just thought of the way the maid next to Miss Li San looked at Su Yan that day, feeling a little unhappy.

Su Yan is not an idiot, ever since he and Pei Jingxing confessed to each other, he cherishes and treasures his relationship with Pei Jingxing.Of course he understood Pei Jingxing's psychology at this time, so he couldn't help laughing out loud: "Master Pei is worried that his charm is not as good as that of a maid?"

Pei Jingxing found that Su Yan had discovered his little thoughts, and pretended to cough twice: "Do you think I'm that kind of stingy person?"

Su Yan put on a reassuring look on purpose: "Alright then, I'll go with the steward of the Li family."

"I'll go with you," Pei Jingxing said hastily, and he didn't forget to add an explanation, "You can't tell if there is any evil aura on Miss Li San, so it can be seen that there are still many secrets hidden here, and there may be danger .Anyway, I have nothing to do now, so I will go with you, and if there is anything that needs help, I can help you."

Su Yan narrowed his eyes with a smile: "Okay, then please trouble Master Pei to help me."

It was only then that Pei Jingxing realized that he had fallen for Su Yan's words. He was angry and funny. He just felt that Su Yan like this made him love him more and more, so he put it down and hugged Su Yan into his arms, scratching Su Yan's itchy flesh with both hands: "Still I'm having fun with it or not, huh? Or not?"

Su Yan was so scratched that he couldn't stop laughing, tears welled up from the corners of his eyes, and begged for mercy repeatedly: "I won't take it anymore, I won't make fun of you anymore."

Pei Jingxing kissed Su Yan on the forehead a few times, and then let go of Su Yan, "Put it in the account first, and you will feel better when the time comes."

Su Yan rubbed his blushing face and ignored him.

Seeing Pei Jingxing and Su Yan coming side by side, the steward of Li's family lit up, and hurriedly got up and said: "I have seen Young Master Pei, I have seen Daoist Su."

"There's no need to be too polite," Pei Jingxing and Su Yan sat down, "What's your name?"

"The younger one's surname is Sun," Guanshi Sun said with a smile, "Thanks to Daoist Su's help two days ago, my master wanted to come to thank him early in the morning, but he was afraid that Daoist Su would be abrupt, so he delayed until now."

Both Su Yan and Pei Jingxing didn't like this roundabout way of speaking, Su Yan asked bluntly: "What's the matter with you this time?"

Steward Sun was a little embarrassed.He came to Pei's mansion this time to ask for Su Yan, and the servant in his corresponding door did not deliberately conceal it.It's just that Manager Sun was worried that he would offend Su Yan if he said it directly, so he took advantage of what happened two days ago to use his thanks as his opening remarks.

Now that Su Yan is so forthright, it’s hard for Guanshi Sun to go around in circles anymore. His forced smile was quickly replaced by a heavy expression. He sighed and said, “To be honest, early this morning, the maid next to Miss San suddenly The third lady was found standing barefoot on the ground, dancing non-stop. Several servant girls pulled the third lady together, but they couldn’t stop the third lady. Later, the master spoke and tied the hands and feet of the third lady with silk. But even so, the third lady Miss still desperately wanted to stand up and dance. The master really couldn't help it, so he sent me to find Daoist Su, and begged Daoist Su to come to Li's mansion and see Miss San."

Su Yan and Pei Jingxing had already agreed upon it, nodded and said: "Okay."

Steward Sun didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He still had a few banknotes in his arms, and he planned to finish his explanation of his intention to come, and after Su Yan pretended to refuse, he would take them out to honor Su Yan.

"It's so good, it's so good." Steward Sun was overjoyed, "I've already prepared the sedan chair, and I'm waiting outside the mansion for Daoist Su to drive."

Pei Jingxing waved his hand, "No need, let's ride there."

Steward Sun was very frightened: "Master Pei is going too?"

Pei Jingxing raised his eyebrows: "What? I can't go?"

"Of course not, of course not." Steward Sun apologized with a smile, "With Young Master Pei here, our master will feel more at ease."

There was silence in Li Mansion.Perhaps because they received the order in advance, Pei Jingxing and Su Yan saw no one else except for a few servants who were busy pruning the branches in the garden.

"Master and Madam are in Miss San's yard." Steward Sun explained while leading the way.

Just as he was talking, a familiar maid came from the other side of the path.

"Sun Guanshi, did Daoist Su invite you here?" The maid first greeted Sun Guanshi, then saluted Pei Jingxing and Su Yan, and then continued, "Thank you, Daoist Su, for your help two days ago Help, I’m here to thank Daoist Su again on behalf of Miss.”

It was only then that Su Yan remembered that this maid was the one who thanked him two days ago.

"Wanzhu, why are you here?" Seeing Miss San's personal maid, Steward Sun thought that something was wrong with Miss San, and couldn't help becoming nervous, "How is Miss San?"

Ban Zhu said with a smile: "Miss San is already ready, I haven't had time for breakfast yet, I'm hungry right now, and the small kitchen is busy preparing food for Miss San."

"Then..." Steward Sun asked again, "You are not serving Miss San, what are you doing here?"

Wan Zhu continued to smile and said: "Miss San specifically told me to come out and find Daoist Su."

Su Yan pointed to himself: "Looking for me?"

"Exactly." Yin Zhu nodded and said, "Miss San said that I am really sorry to let Dao Chang Su go for nothing. Fortunately, the master has already agreed to give Dao Chang Su a box of precious pearls as a thank you gift. The miss specially ordered me Send it over personally, and apologize to Daoist Su."

Steward Sun became more and more confused: "This... this Daoist Su is here, why don't you go and show Miss San?"

Wan Zhu shook his head and said, "Since Miss is already well, there is no need to bother Daoist Su anymore."

Steward Sun said again: "But Miss got better for a while two days ago, did she fall ill again this morning? If you want me to say, Daoist Su is here, why are you in such a hurry to send her away? Why don't you ask Daoist Su?" Go in and show Miss San a look, lest you really bump into something evil..."

"Sun Guanshi!" Wan Zhu interrupted him sternly, "Master and Madam also agreed to this matter, I don't think it's Sun Guanshi's turn to make the decision here!"

The Li family couple has two sons and one daughter in total, they dote on this youngest daughter in every possible way, and they even have a good face in the Li family with the maid by her side.Although Guanshi Sun can be regarded as someone who can be used by the master of the Li family at ordinary times, there are not no people who can replace him.It was also for this reason that Steward Sun did not persist in the face of Wanzhu who put away his smile.

"Daozhang Su, Young Master Pei, I'm really sorry this time, I let the two of you go for nothing."

The above was just a one-sentence matter, and it was the unlucky Steward Sun who came forward to apologize in the end.He kept bowing to Su Yan and Pei Jingxing, apologizing repeatedly.

"It's okay," Su Yan didn't care, "Third Miss is fine as long as she has nothing to do."

"Since the third lady is fine, then we won't bother you." Pei Jingxing was also happy to go back earlier - She Jiulang sent a little demon to send them a post yesterday, saying that his new cave has been furnished, just a few days ago A batch of high-quality wine is going to be held in Xindong Mansion in three days. Pei Jingxing and Su Yan have to prepare a gift for She Jiulang.

Wan Zhu stepped forward, offering an exquisite small box with both hands: "This is Miss's apology, please accept it, Daoist Su."

Su Yan naturally refused: "No need, I didn't help much."

Wan Zhu insisted: "How can Daoist Su not be of any help? What happened two days ago is thanks to Daoist Su. Daoist Su, please accept it, otherwise, Miss will feel very sorry. Miss also ordered me to personally send Daoist Su out, Steward Sun, you should go and do your work first." When she said the last sentence, Wan Zhu rolled her eyes, and signaled Steward Sun from the corner of her eye.

Manager Sun reluctantly saluted Pei Jingxing and Su Yan, and stood in place to watch the three of them leave.

Wan Zhu sent the two of them to the side gate, when they were three zhang away from the gatekeeper, he stopped suddenly and said, "Daozhang Su, Young Master Pei, please make an extra trip this time."

She presented the box again: "This is the wish of the master, wife and miss, please accept it, Daoist Su."

Su Yan still wanted to refuse, but Pei Jingxing stretched out his hand to take it for him, put it upside down in his hand, and laughed for no reason: "That's all, do you want to use it as a hush money?"

The smile on Wan Zhu's face suddenly froze: "I don't understand what Young Master Pei is talking about. The side door has arrived, and I have to go back to serve the young lady, so I won't see you off."

Pei Jingxing sneered: "I don't care what your young lady's intentions are, but just remember one thing, I will absolutely not allow you to involve Su Yan. Since you are a master and servant, you are just a girl, so forget about it this time. If there is another time, don't blame me for being rude!"

Pei Jingxing had killed people before on the battlefield, and he carried a cold and murderous aura that ordinary noble sons did not have. He spoke with a straight face at this moment, and Wan Zhu was already trembling with fright.

"I... I don't know what Young Master Pei is talking about, I... I'm going... I'm going to serve the young lady."

Wanzhu fled in despair.

After leaving Li Mansion, Su Yan rode on the horse, looked at the exquisite box in Pei Jingxing's hand, and couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"

Pei Jingxing casually put the box into the pocket on the side of the horse's back, and replied: "The third young lady should be faking it."

"Pretend?"

Pei Jingxing explained: "You say that she doesn't have any evil aura on her body, which means that there is no problem with ghosts."

Su Yan still didn't believe it: "But last time I pasted a talisman on her forehead, she stopped."

Pei Jingxing asked back: "Then what about this time?"

"This time?" Su Yan was puzzled, "I haven't seen anyone this time, so I can't easily judge whether there is something evil or not."

"Don't you think it's strange? Before we saw anyone, the maid rushed out to chase him away, and even sent a box of gems."

Su Yan thought for a while and said, "Didn't the maid say that the third lady of the Li family felt sorry for her and what happened two days ago, that's why she sent it on purpose?"

"What do you believe in what other people say?" If it wasn't for walking on the street, Pei Jingxing would have reached out and tapped Su Yan's little head to knock him out.

"They are not monsters, and they have no friendship with us." Su Yan is very clear about who he is. People like the third lady of the Li family and Wan Zhu are not harmful to him in his opinion, so he will not go there. Find out if there is something strange between their words and deeds.

Pei Jingxing shook his head helplessly.His sweetheart, if you say he is stupid, he is definitely not stupid. With his own ability, he has made a name for himself in Xijing in just one year. Even the emperor in the palace has heard about him; will be confused.

That's all, it's great for my sweetheart to get confused occasionally.

"If you give a thank-you gift, it won't be delayed for two days. Besides, Liming is such a precious daughter. Hearing what happened when she was in spring, she should invite a Taoist priest to visit her at home anyway. How could it be delayed until today, and so on. My daughter started dancing non-stop again, so she came to look for us? Also, we have already entered Li Mansion, why did Li Ming invite us out again without letting us take a look?"

"That's right," Su Yan understood now, "I remember Grandma Fang was worried about her little grandson before, and asked me to check up and down her house every three days, for fear that someone who was about to die would look for her again. The grandson should take the place of the dead."

Speaking of this incident, Pei Jingxing had lingering fears: "That's right, it took a month to stop."

Su Yan still couldn't figure it out: "Isn't Liming worried about his daughter?"

Pei Jingxing sneered: "I'm afraid it's not that he doesn't worry about his daughter, but that his daughter is worried that after we pass by, her lie will be exposed."

Facing Su Yan's suspicious gaze, Pei Jingxing smiled very warmly this time: "Anyway, since they said no, we don't have to think about it anymore."

On the third, sixth, and seventh days that followed, Steward Sun came to Pei's mansion three times in a row, his expression getting uglier each time, and he felt sorry for himself the last time.

"This time I..."

"Sun Guanshi, please go back." The boy who answered the door coldly interrupted Sun Guanshi, "My young master and Daoist Su are not the servants of your Li family who come and go as soon as they are called. There are so many Daoist priests in Xijing. , Sun Guanshi please Gao Ming."

Facing the closed two rich doors, Guanshi Sun couldn't express his temper at all - even if he himself was teased like this again and again, he should have lost his temper long ago.

Steward Sun sighed, shook his head helplessly, and turned back to Li Mansion.

Ten days later, Guanshi Sun and Wan Zhu came together, but they were still rejected by the boy.

Only this time, Wan Zhu was crying until the pear blossoms were raining, and Guanshi Sun also looked sad, and kept begging the servants of Pei's mansion to go in and pass the news on his behalf.

The boy lost his patience, he shook off the hand Zhu, turned around and was about to close the door.

Wan Zhu stretched out one foot, blocking the door in a daze.Regardless of the pain in her feet, she stepped forward and pushed hard to open the door, then bent her knees, knelt down on the ground, and begged in tears, "Please pass on, my young lady...she died for no apparent reason. ah!"
