red and white

"Man, where are you thinking?" Zhu Yinxiao laughed half dead, "The third and fourth are absolutely innocent, I can testify to that."

"Then where did this fiction come from?" Anping couldn't believe it, it was too ridiculous.

It is said that Mu Gesheng is a big money fan, if someone arranges him like this, does this person not charge copyright fees?

"There's actually something else hidden about this matter." Zhu Yinxiao rubbed his chin, "It seems that you know half of it—about the troubles of the second and fourth eldest in Fengdu. As for why they came to Fengdu to gamble in the first place, you don't know .”

"why?"

"It wasn't long before the third child was in charge of the Yinyang family. He made a mistake and owed a large amount of debts, including human debts and incense money. This matter was very difficult, and it was very difficult for him to handle it with his strength at that time, and the members of the Yinyang family They all took the opportunity to see the ability of the new Wuchangzi, but no one was willing to help him, and in the end, the fourth and the fourth made a plan and pushed the second to do this."

"Winning most of the ghost market with a gambling game, and making a big fuss in Fengdu with the strength of two people - this incident almost turned Fengdu upside down at the time, and there was no place to save the face of Yama of the Ten Palaces. Although it was revealed in the end It was Mr. who came forward to solve this matter, but in fact, he helped the third child out of the predicament."

"First of all, most of the ghost collections that won won't pursue the debt, which is repaying the incense money; secondly, the second and fourth children who caused trouble were all punished badly in the end, saving Fengdu's face, this is repaying the debt of favor; In the end, although it seems that the scholars have lost face on the surface, in fact, whether it is punishment or the aftermath, it is decided by the husband-this is a kind of deterrence. People from the seven schools of thought have made mistakes, and only the seven schools have it. Qualifications for disposal."

Anping held the teacup and listened to it for a long time without returning to his senses.

Zhu Yinxiao smiled, and said lightly: "It's not easy for anyone to sit on the position of masters. The master has worked hard for us, and this is why Gingko Study has a place where we can settle down."

"...How do you know so clearly?"

"I was brought up by Mozi." Zhu Yinxiao looked at him and smiled suddenly: "It's you, as an outsider, you know too much."

Anping was startled, only then did he realize that he had been being tricked by the other party.

"Relax, the fourth brother told me about you, he cares about you, we are brothers." Zhu Yinxiao patted him on the shoulder, "But man, you have to be careful, you let your guard down too easily, Not everyone can trust the current seven schools of thought."

"What do you mean?"

"The memory of the fourth child is incomplete. If you get information from him, you probably don't know about the Qijia incident that year..."

Zhu Yinxiao finished speaking halfway, raised his hand, and pointed the wind through the bamboo curtain, "Who?"

"Your Majesty, take the liberty of—" Someone outside the door bowed and saluted, "I have seen Xingxiuzi—"

Anping heard the long voice, it was Cui Ziyu who came.

"Let me tell you, not many people here know my real body." Zhu Yinxiao poured a cup of tea, "Judge Cui is busy, what's the matter?"

"I don't dare to be an official, but I just heard that Xing Xiuzi came to Guiji, and I want to ask you to help pass a letter."

"What letter do you need me to help pass? For the fourth child or for my brother?"

Cui Ziyu replied: "Respectfully, the fortune teller."

"what's up?"

"... Please gather the seven families."

Zhu Yinxiao's expression changed suddenly, and he said slowly, "Judge Cui, do you know what you're talking about?"

He splashed the tea on the ground, "You should be glad that my brother didn't hear your words."

"The lower officials know that they have violated the taboo, and they must die." Cui Ziyu seemed to be biting the bullet, and the long-winded tune that was hard to change for thousands of years was a lot more agile. He was suppressed, but Yama of the Ten Palaces was disturbed, and he had learned from the past, so he couldn't handle it lightly..."

"Yin-yang ladder." Zhu Yinxiao sneered, "Yin-yang ladder again."

"Back then, Tian Suanzi's hexagram was the first, and the Yin soldiers should not be different in hundreds of years, but now they have changed in less than a hundred years, maybe there is something wrong with that hexagram back then..."

"Judge Cui." Zhu Yinxiao interrupted him, with a smile that was not a smile, "Fengdu knew that my brother had returned to the City God Temple, so he was too scared to come to the door, so that's why he asked you to come to me, right?"

Cui Ziyu lowered his head and said nothing.

"Yes." Zhu Yinxiao lifted his chin towards the table, "Put the letter on the table, let's go."

"Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will still be able to see this Zishi Lantern."

When Cui Ziyu hurriedly withdrew, Anping immediately asked, "What exactly are the hexagrams you are talking about?"

Mu Gesheng said that the reason why he was half-dead and lost his memory was because he had calculated hexagrams that should not have been calculated back then.

And the "Seven Families Incident" that Zhu Yinxiao just said was interrupted, what is the relationship between the two?

Zhu Yinxiao put down the bamboo curtain to block the storyteller's voice, "A few days ago, my fourth son wrote to me, saying that you tasted his blood by mistake, so you were able to peek into his memory."

"Blood is indeed a medium, but it is quite rare to be able to establish a connection through a few drops of blood, not to mention that the fourth child is a fortune teller... But he doesn't intend to say more, and I don't want to go into it."

Zhu Yinxiao looked at Anping, "Do you know how the Yin soldier riot was suppressed in the end?"

"...I saw General Nuo Wu in my dream." Anping was silent for a moment, then said, "I don't know what happened after the city was broken."

"Sure enough." Zhu Yinxiao sighed softly, "What happened later was that the matter of the Qi Family changed."

"Brother Ye and the others failed to eradicate all the Yin soldiers. In the end, the fourth brother suppressed the remaining souls in the Yin-Yang ladder at the cost of a mountain ghost."

Anping's expression changed, "You mean—"

"A few days ago, the resentment of the Yin soldiers changed. For this reason, my brother entered the Yin-Yang Ladder that had been blocked for a long time, and took out the mountain ghost money."

Zhu Yinxiao said lightly: "The fourth child should have gotten the mountain ghost to spend money by now, which means that he will recover part of his memory."

"There are not many old friends left about what happened back then, and not many people know the truth—my brother told me a long time ago, and unless the fourth child remembers it himself, no one can tell."

"Brother's words, of course you have to listen. It's just that now that the fourth child gets money from the mountain ghost, there's no need to keep avoiding talking about it."

Zhu Yinxiao picked up the envelope on the table, stroked it for a moment, and looked at Anping.

"Do you know what divination he was counting back then?"

City God Temple.

"Your question is not due to return, Braised Eggplant Boiled Chicken in Braised Sauce.

He Dang cut the candles in the west window together, but said that when they were grabbing food. "

Mu Gesheng was lying on the roof of the kitchen, talking to himself, looking at the lanterns on the street in the distance, and suddenly said: "Three or nine days, let's go out for a walk?"

Chai Shuxin walked out of the kitchen, holding a medicine bowl in his hand, "You should take your medicine."

When Mu Gesheng heard that he was going to go crazy after taking the medicine, he almost wanted to roll on the roof, "Let's talk about it, today is the holiday, can we save a meal?"

As a result, Chai Shuxin was silent for a moment, and agreed, "Okay."

"What? You agreed?" Mu Gesheng sat up abruptly, "Have you eaten badly in three or nine days?"

Immediately, he realized that his words were wrong, and immediately retracted his preface, "No, no, you eat all the time, you smell good, and you look good, as if I didn't say anything."

Chai Shuxin didn't say anything, and went back to the kitchen to put the medicine bowl. After a long time without hearing the sound, Mu Gesheng jumped off the roof and found that there was no one in the kitchen. was pushed away.

He turned his head and saw Chai Shuxin standing at the door, holding a lit lantern in his hand.

The other party still had no expression on his face, just looked at him seriously, and said softly: "Shangyuan Ankang."

Muge paused and laughed, "Shangyuan is auspicious."

The lantern in Chai Shuxin's hand is made of bamboo strips and rice paper. This kind of old-fashioned lantern is no longer common nowadays. The upper and lower sides are bordered with narrow strips of imitation damask paper, which is simple and elegant.

"Why do you think of buying this?" Mu Gesheng walked up to Chai Shuxin, "No, you messed up this?"

Chai Shuxin was slightly taken aback, "You actually saw it."

"The window grilles you cut are all over the yard. I'm blind if I don't recognize your craftsmanship." Mu Gesheng joked: "I mean, you didn't cut the paper with a red knife, did you? If the second child knew you Using his knife like this will definitely kill you in a dream in the middle of the night."

"Let him come." Chai Shuxin said indifferently: "It just happened to be a fight."

"Yes, you are majestic." Mu Gesheng took the lantern and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, you look at a gentleman under the moon, and you look at a beautiful woman under the lamp."

"Come on, beauty, let's go for a walk."

As soon as the Lantern Festival arrives, lanterns are popular.

Chengxi Street is an old street. The buildings on the street have been refurbished in an ancient style. Most of them are small two-story buildings with cornices and corners. Wires and red silk are hung between the buildings, and lanterns are hung in mid-air.

The street was crowded with people. There were hawkers carrying bamboo screens and hanging colorful lanterns. Mu Gesheng smiled as he walked: "Electric lanterns are popular now. I remember taking my daughter to the lantern market back then and stalking non-traditionists." Asking me to buy one for him, he cried even harder than the old fifth."

As he spoke, he showed a look of reminiscence, "The lantern is so funny, and it will also play the theme song of Ultraman."

Chai Shuxin pointed to the lantern stand beside him, "Is that what you're talking about?"

It was a stall specializing in selling electric lanterns. There were all kinds of lanterns, from Chinese zodiac signs to SpongeBob SquarePants and Peppa Pig. Pick one, go back and hang it on his bedside."

Chai Shuxin seemed very calm, "Which one do you want?"

"Welcome, welcome, you can take a look!" The shopkeeper seemed quite enthusiastic, "Buy it for yourself? Or bring it to the children at home?"

"You're welcome." Mu Gesheng smiled and said, "Buy it for my daughter."

Although his face really doesn't look like a person with a daughter, and it's unreasonable to marry at a young age, the shopkeeper was just taken aback, and then smiled: "Well, how old is your daughter this year? They are different in age, and they like different things. You Give me the number, and I will recommend one to you, guaranteed to look good!"

"Not too old." Mu Gesheng waved his hand, "Graduated from kindergarten."

"That's easy to say!" The store owner enthusiastically took down a lantern and handed it to Mu Gesheng, "That's it, it's the best seller here, and the little girls in the kindergarten are rushing to buy it!"

It was a cartoon doll with strange colors and a pair of rainbow wings on the back. Mu Gesheng laughed when he saw it, "Yo, you little flower fairy looks pretty good."

"It's not Xiaohuaxian, it's about Disney princesses." The boss said clearly: "There is music in it, you can play it!"

As soon as Mu Gesheng opened it, deafening music rang out, "Legends say that there is a magic fairy castle——"

"Okay, okay, Disney is a fugitive princess, and she fled to Magic Fairy Castle to become a magic fairy." Muge smiled half dead, turned to Chai Shuxin and said, "That's all."

After Chai Shuxin paid the money, he said helplessly, "How long do you want to play this music?"

"At least listen to it once. If my daughter comes back and sees it, she'll be smashed." Mu Gesheng laughed as he walked, "The reaction of the child will definitely be very funny."

"You knew he was going to smash it, why did you still buy it?"

"He is now suffering from the second-degree syndrome and climacteric mania, just like an old child." Mu Gesheng said earnestly: "Young people have a lot of pressure in life and need a little innocence."

"Really?"

"Fake." Mu Gesheng said: "Actually, I just want to see him blow up."

"If you fry it hard enough, you will be bald if you fry it again."

"Three or nine days, there is something in your words." Mu Gesheng was amused when he heard it, "Aren't you mocking his father's baldness at an early age? The third child just lost a lot of hair, but he is not overly bald."

Chai Shuxin looked serious, "Hair loss is a family inheritance."

"Yes, this is your major. I'm a layman and I won't argue with you." Mu Gesheng said with a smile: "At worst, when my daughter comes back, you can boil some black sesame paste for him."

"Get over it, he won't drink."

"Don't tell me, the third child didn't like drinking back then."

"That's because you boiled too badly."

"Little doctor, you are trying to kill someone."

The two walked and chatted, and quickly walked around the long street, "After today is over, the temple fair will also close. Every year, on these days of the first month, you can see some old things from the past."

It was rare for Mu Gesheng to feel emotional. Chai Shuxin looked at him, his lips moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but the man became happy, "That's great, the things at the temple fair are so expensive, once the first month is over, get out of here."

Chai Shuxin: "..."

He was silent for a moment, and said: "The first month is over, Xing Xiuzi and the others should also leave."

Mu Gesheng joked after hearing the words: "Why, can't bear it?"

"After all, it's rare to see."

"Yeah, it's rare to see after all." Mu Gesheng said: "But this year is different, if I'm right, Lao Wu won't leave so early."

Chai Shuxin looked at him upon hearing the words, "You mean..."

He paused in the middle of the sentence, and saw Mu Gesheng holding a mountain ghost to spend money in his hand.

It was the one he brought out from the Yin-Yang Ladder.

"I remembered something." Mu Gesheng threw the money into the air, "I also have some speculations about the future."

"No wonder you refused to tell me what happened back then." Mu Gesheng looked at Chai Shuxin and smiled, "I remember what I was thinking back then."
