Datang traitor

Qin Yuan saw that these people were arrogant and sure to win, so he raised the asking price by a hundred times.Unexpectedly, the other party asked for a hundred catties without even frowning.

Qin Yuan said that he only had fifty catties at most, because if there was more, he would be hungry and uncomfortable.

In the end, the two parties made a deal, and Qin Yuan sold a total of [-] Wen.But this little money can't buy a house in Chang'an City, it can only be rented.

There are nearly a million residents in Chang'an City, every inch of land is expensive, and housing prices are extremely expensive.An official like Bai Juyi, with an income of about 20 Wen a month, had to rent a house in Chang'an for more than 50 years, and finally bought a house when he was [-] years old. "Twenty springs when you are an official in Kyoto, there is no place to live in poverty in the poor", which is the poem he wrote based on this feeling.

Although it is now the first year of Zhenguan, the house price is still slightly cheaper than in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, but it is still very expensive.At least relying on the money Qin Yuan earned from selling some agricultural products, he definitely couldn't afford a house.

It was too late today, Qin Yuan first found a nearby inn to stay.

Qin Yuan found that the quilts in the inn were not clean, and when he went downstairs to find a clerk, he encountered three men drinking in the lobby downstairs.

"Hey, have you heard? There is a new wonderful person in Ruyifang. She looks like a country and a city, and her dancing posture is unparalleled in the world. It is said that every time she dances, she will get butterflies to accompany her. Oh, that It’s so beautiful, it’s indescribable!”

"Butterfly? True or false? Unheard of, unseen!"

"It's a pity that there is a curfew. Let's take a look tomorrow?"

……

These brothels are quite capable of playing tricks in order to attract customers.

Qin Yuan sighed casually in his heart, changed the quilt with the waiter, and went back to the room.

On the second day, Qin Yuan searched for a long time based on his feeling, and finally found a suitable house in Yong'an Square.The house is not big, with a small door and a small house, a square courtyard, one bedroom and one living room, and two side rooms on the side, one for storage and the other for the kitchen.

The house is not broken, and the furniture and other things in the house are relatively new.Because the previous tenant hanged himself in this house, the rent can be considered cheaper, [-] Wen can be rented for five years.

Qin Yuan felt that the place was quite suitable, the house was also quite suitable, and the key point was that it was cheap, so he agreed.

The owner of the house, Xie Youfu, is a middle-aged man in his 40s. After receiving the money bag from Qin Yuan, he held the money tightly behind his back.

"But it's agreed, the money will not be refunded to me, I don't care if you can live in the house, anyway, I'll leave it to you for five years!"

Qin Yuan heard that Xie Youfu meant that he was afraid that he would go back on his word, he raised his eyebrows and looked back at the house, and asked Xie Youfu: "Haunted?"

"I didn't hide it from you. I told you about the hanged people in this house. As for other things, I haven't seen or heard of them. I don't know! Don't ask me if you have anything to do in the future!"

After Xie Youfu gave his instructions, he turned around and left quickly.

After walking a certain distance, he seemed to feel that he was not fast enough, so he suddenly started running, and his figure quickly disappeared from Qin Yuan's sight.

Qin Yuan fetched a bucket of water, and wiped all the places in the house with a damp rag.Standing in the center of the hall, looking up at the beams on the top.He was thinking of cleaning up the dust on it, but he accidentally saw three circles of rope wear marks on the beam near the door, the left and right circles were more severely worn, and the middle circle was slightly worn. .

The scuff marks are interesting.

Qin Yuan then went to the West Market to buy a quilt and a few pots of flowers and plants, and arranged the house, which would be considered as a preliminary completion.

Tired all morning, it's time to eat, let's see what's harvested on the farm.

The Grim Reaper Pepper, who had disappeared for nearly half a month, reappeared, with the same skill as before, and accurately turned Qin Yuan into a sausage mouth again.

After finishing his lunch, Qin Yuan lay on the bamboo recliner, while shaking the chair, fanned his fiery 'red lips' with a fan.

Qin Yuan swayed and fell asleep without knowing it, and when he woke up it was almost dusk, and it was time to eat this evening meal.

While eating Grim Reaper pepper, he was thinking about Li Shimin, why is he so angry?

After eating, Qin Yuansheng burped his sausage mouth unrequitedly, lay down on the chair and continued to shake and shake.

In the middle of the night, Qin Yuan, who was already sound asleep, suddenly heard a woman's crying faintly coming from outside the house.

Qin Yuan got up and went out to have a look. He saw a female ghost in red hanging from the beam swinging from side to side. It looked like a pendulum used by a psychiatrist for hypnosis.

Qin Yuan would get sleepy after watching it for a long time, so he couldn't help yawning.

The female ghost's crying became more violent, and she was very surprised to find that the people behind her were neither screaming nor crying nor running away.She stretched out her tongue as far as possible, and turned her head to look at it pretending to be extremely hideous.

The moment Qin Yuan and the 'female ghost' looked at each other, Qin Yuan could see that her pale face was covered with a thick layer of gouache, and the two black panda eyes seemed to be covered with pot ash.The highest grade is undoubtedly the blood hanging from the corner of her mouth, which looks like vermilion lacquer, and the quality is considered good.

The 'female ghost' yelled vigorously for a while, and finally found that Qin Yuan wasn't scared out of his wits, and wasn't afraid of her at all.She panicked completely, raised her voice and started the final struggle, yelling that she died so badly that her voice broke in the end.

Qin Yuan lit the oil lamp, poured a glass of water unhurriedly, raised his hand and passed the handkerchief in the direction of the 'ghost', his tone full of concern.

"You're sweating, why don't you continue after wiping off your sweat? However, after wiping off your sweat, the makeup on your face will probably wear off."

The howling stopped abruptly, Gu Qingqing looked at Qin Yuan in embarrassment, then took off the noose hanging around her neck, climbed up to the beam along the rope, and pulled the black rope hanging on her two shoulders. Untie the other end from the beam.Gu Qingqing climbed down from the beam along the noose and jumped to the ground.

The rope tied to Gu Qingqing's shoulders has two colors. The part close to her body is a red rope, which almost blends with the red dress on her body. It is impossible to see it unless you look closely.The one hanging on the beam is black, and the black rope cannot be seen in the dark, so there is an illusion of a "ghost" hanging herself at night.

At this point, Qin Yuan fully understood how the three worn circles on the beams were formed.

After Gu Qingqing landed, she looked at Qin Yuan timidly, turned around and fled towards the door.

"The one next door?" Qin Yuan asked casually as he brought water to the table.

Gu Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, she stopped running away, and asked Qin Yuan in surprise, "How do you know?"

"After thinking about your purpose of pretending to be a ghost for a while, it will naturally become clear. There should be no one else except the neighbor." Qin Yuan explained, "During the day, I saw a lot of wood piled up in your house, and there were almost no people in the yard. The place where you lay your feet is like doing carpentry? If you have this house, you can just expand the space of your house and make it easier to store things."

Gu Qingqing kept her mouth shut, and reluctantly apologized to Qin Yuan: "This is all my own decision, and it has nothing to do with me, Aye. You can beat or scold me, but please don't tell him."

Qin Yuan smiled.

"Then...how are you going to punish me?" Gu Qingqing opened her panda eyes wide and looked at Qin Yuan, the whites of her eyes became brighter against the background of dark circles, "I declare in advance that I have no money!"

Qin Yuan really couldn't understand Gu Qingqing's scary makeup, so he asked Gu Qingqing to wash his face first.

"Just tell me about the last tenant who lives here." Qin Yuan didn't want to get angry with a little girl, so he just asked something casually, "Is it because she was like this when she died?" ?”

"Yes! The woman who originally lived here was called Hua Mudan. She was eighteen years old and she was very beautiful. She came from a poor background in the countryside. Half a year ago, she was valued by a man surnamed Qin. She spent a lot of money to marry her back and place her here. Who would have thought That man was a ruthless and heartless man, and he didn't want her long after he was new to Hua Mudan. In a fit of anger, Hua Mudan put on a red dress and hanged himself." Mentioning this matter, Gu Qingqing felt very sorry.

"It is said that when a person dies wearing a red dress, he will turn into a ghost and can take revenge!" Gu Qingqing was filled with righteous indignation, "Hua Mudan must have hated her man so much that she chose to wear a red dress to die. There was no retribution."

Qin Yuan was surprised: "You don't know that man?"

Gu Qingqing shook her head, "I only know his surname is Qin, but I don't know what his name is or what he does. Every time this man comes to look for Hua Mudan, it is at night, and when he leaves in the morning, he also walks in a hurry, as if he is afraid of being discovered. Yes. But who am I, of course I have to find a chance to see the man's appearance. He is not yet 30 years old, tall, good-looking, and a bit wise and mighty. No wonder a beautiful woman like Hua Mudan is willing to follow him.

But what's the use of a man's good-looking face, his heart is so dark!I, Aye, have said that even the little boy has no good intentions! "

When Gu Qingqing said these words, she stared straight at Qin Yuan, because Qin Yuan belonged to the good-looking group.

After looking at Qin Yuan carefully, Gu Qingqing found that Qin Yuan's mouth was a little abnormal, and asked him what happened to his mouth.

"Go, go, go home!" Qin Yuan sent Gu Qingqing to leave quickly after being exposed.

Gu Qingqing was no longer afraid of Qin Yuan, laughed a few times, and ran away happily.

On the second day, Qin Yuan went out for a walk after breakfast to familiarize himself with the surrounding environment.He happened to walk to Ruyifang, the brothel where it is rumored that dancing can attract butterflies.

When he arrived, Ruyifang was buzzing with people, as if something was going on.

Then he saw butterflies in the sky flying towards the building of Ruyifang, and the guests inside all exclaimed, shouting that the butterflies really came.

To enter the building to watch the dance, each person must pay at least [-] Wen in advance.

Qin Yuan was a bit reluctant, and was hesitating at the door, when he saw a thin 'short man' running out of the building in a panic.

Qin Yuan recognized this person as Gu Qingqing at a glance, and hurriedly stopped her to ask what's wrong.

Gu Qingqing raised her head and looked at Qin Yuan with a trembling body, with tears in her eyes because of fear.

"I...I saw the flower peony."

"Where?"

Gu Qingqing pointed at Ruyi Square in panic, "Just dance in this building."
