Zu An couldn't help but glance at Jing Teng, with some doubts in his heart, but seeing that her expression was as usual, it was probably just a coincidence.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Jing Teng couldn't help but ask.
"Why are you called this name? Is this your real name?" Zu An still couldn't help but ask, could it be possible that he would encounter the drama of meeting an old friend in a foreign country?
"When I was in a good relationship with that person, he called me Xiao Tiantian, and later he called me Teng Yao after he learned my identity." There was a coldness in Jing Teng's voice.
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but say: "Since you use this name full of memories, don't you still have a lot of affection for that person?"
Jing Teng looked cold: "I just want to remind myself not to forget the pain of being betrayed."
Everyone: "..."
Zu An also breathed a sigh of relief. It was just a coincidence.
Then he asked why he didn't tell his real name, and Kageto replied: "There are many ghosts and monsters in this world whose abilities can be exerted through names, so it's better not to tell your real name if you don't know the basics."
"Fortunately, the girl reminded me." Zu An sighed, if there was not a "native" from this world, how many detours would he and his group have to take.
"Young Master, you are serious." Jing Teng nodded slightly, his expression no longer as cold as before.
Weisuo's eyes on the side were roaming around the two of them, and then he secretly glanced at Qiu Honglei. Seeing that her expression was as usual, he couldn't help but secretly admire him. The boss is worthy of being the boss. He even brought his girlfriend to flirt with other women. The key is the girlfriend.
It seems that he acquiesced...
Why is it that no one likes someone as dedicated and innocent as me? What the hell is this world like!
"I have to go patrolling everywhere, so I won't accompany you. There are people at home.
Someone will lead you in." The dark-faced man named Zhang Yong said with his hands raised.
"You're welcome, thank you Brother Zhang!" Zu An saluted him back, and then watched them disappear into the distance.
These people have some cultivation, but they are not very high. Even Weisuo can crush them. It seems that they are indeed an ordinary manor.
Next, Uncle Wang personally took them in, and Zu An couldn't help but be a little surprised: "I don't need to bother you anymore."
Judging from his status, he seems to be the butler here. It would be too attentive to lead the way in person. Could it be because of the gifts just now?
"No trouble, no trouble. Almost everyone has arrived now. I don't think there are any guests coming. I don't have anything to do." The little old man said with a smile and was already leading the way.
Several people stopped refusing and followed behind.
There are lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere in the house, and big red lanterns are hung under the eaves with big 囍 characters on them.
Zu An noticed Qiu Honglei staring at the lanterns and couldn't help but quietly asked: "What's wrong?"
"I always feel that these lanterns are a bit strange," Qiu Honglei pointed, "These lanterns are so big, theoretically they should be very bright, but the whole lantern seems to be sealed by something, and the light inside cannot shine out at all.
Light up all around."
A few people were startled, and then they noticed that the lanterns were all very red, but the surroundings were completely dark, and they were indeed not illuminated.
They were all highly cultivated and had already reached the point where they could see at night, so they didn't notice it at first. However, Qiu Honglei was a practitioner of the light system and was particularly sensitive to these things.
Weisuo disagreed: "Maybe it's a face-saving effort in this kind of backcountry, and I thought...
I wanted more lanterns to be more ostentatious, but I was worried that it would be wasteful to put thick candles inside if there were too many lanterns, so I used some small candles to create this effect.”
He was still a little bit upset about the old man asking for a gift just now.
Zu An said in a deep voice: "Everyone, cheer up and be careful."
At this time, Qiu Honglei smiled sweetly at the housekeeper in front of her: "Uncle Wang, what is your lady's name?"
She was naturally extremely beautiful, and had great charm skills. Her every frown and smile showed endless charm, and even Jingdeng couldn't help but take a second look at her.
The old man Wang was stunned and said with a kind face: "Our lady's surname is Zhang, and this is Zhangjiazhuang. As for the lady's maiden name, only the master and his wife, and some female relatives in the inner house know it, that is, girl, if you ask, if anyone else
Ask for the lady’s maiden name as soon as you come here, Lao Wang, I will definitely kick them out.”
Zu An thought about it and it seemed that the world was still relatively conservative, and generally only parents and future husbands knew about it.
"I'm really sorry, I took the liberty." Qiu Honglei apologized, looking really pitiful at Chu Chu.
Old Man Wang was embarrassed, and instead advised her not to worry, while Qiu Honglei took the opportunity to inquire about various information about the manor.
From the housekeeper, he learned that Miss Zhang was a famous beauty from all over the country. There was an endless stream of people coming to ask for her hand in marriage. Even the son of the city lord was obsessed with her and wanted to marry her.
It's just that she has a childhood sweetheart. The two families used to be family friends, but something happened in the man's family, and he was left alone to make a living. However, Miss Zhang did not dislike him at all, but had a soft spot for him.
The master and his wife were a little reluctant at first, but seeing their daughter so happy
Huan, and the other party was also the son of an old friend, so he finally agreed, but the condition was that he would marry the other party.
Nowadays, there is a huge gap between the two families, and coupled with the beautiful childhood sweetheart, Na Ma, the boy will naturally not refuse.
Today is a day of great joy for both parties.
Even Qiu Honglei was infected by the joy, and couldn't help but hug Zu An's arm, imagining what it would be like for the two of them to get married.
Perhaps because of the charm of Qiu Honglei, Zu An and these strangers were originally seated in the outer corner, but now they are taken to the front table.
"Everyone, please sit here. The wedding hasn't started yet. Let's watch a play and have fun. I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you." Uncle Wang smiled and bowed his hands to several people before leaving.
Only then did Zu An and the others notice that there was a wide stage in front of them, on which a group of actors were singing. People at other tables around them were cheering, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Zu An and others had been on the road for a day, and now they felt a lot more relaxed when they sat down. Weisuo even grabbed the melon and fruit cakes prepared on the table and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Are you so hungry?" Jing Teng saw him devouring his food and couldn't help but take another look at him.
"I just gave you a gift, so I can make it back by eating more," Weisuo replied vaguely, "What's more, I just vomited too much and now I'm very hungry."
Jing Teng and Qiu Honglei touched their hands and took back the melon seeds, obviously disgusted by him.
At this time, a play was over, and a new play began. Everyone who was originally absent-minded was attracted by this play.
It turned out to be a rich young lady and a happy lover. They were spending time together in front of and under the moon. Jing Teng and Qiu Hongwei looked at it with their aunt's smiles on their faces.
, obviously this kind of love story touches their hearts.
However, the style of painting soon changed. A rich man came and fell in love with the rich lady, and pursued her in various ways.
It's just that the wealthy lady was extremely devoted to her lover and showed no pretense to the wealthy young man. The wealthy young man could only leave in disappointment.
Next, the lovers finally get married, and the two get married and hold a wedding.
Qiu Honglei couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me tell you, it must be a happy ending. After all, this is a wedding banquet."
Keito nodded sympathetically.
However, the expressions of the two women suddenly froze, because the plot began to develop in a strange direction.
The rich man also showed up at the wedding. After getting the groom drunk, he helped him to the bridal chamber and took the opportunity to rape the bride.
Not to mention the two girls, even Zu An was dumbfounded. This was probably the plot of a Japanese movie.
At this time, the bride's parents heard the news and came over, but were beaten to death by the wealthy young master who took advantage of them. The young master was also afraid and left.
The bride burst into tears. She originally wanted to report to the officials the next day to avenge her parents. Unexpectedly, the officials came overnight and said that the groom had suddenly gone to his sister-in-law's bed after being drunk and lustful.
Seeing this scene, Zu An felt a sense of déjà vu. When he first came to this world, he seemed to have been framed and ended up on Xiaozhao's bed.
The drama continued on the stage. When the government said that the groom had committed violence, his parents-in-law came to hear the news and cursed him as a beast. They were accidentally killed by the groom. The bride violently killed her husband and was also imprisoned. In the end, the two were sentenced and together.
Soaked the pig cage.
Qiu Honglei looked at it with anger on her face: "This is really unreasonable, this dog official really has no conscience."
Keito is relatively calm:
"Officials in this world are all like this. It won't be surprising if you see them more often."
Zu An, on the other hand, glanced around, and the nearby spectators were all watching with great interest and mesmerized.
He wondered in his heart, is it appropriate to perform such a play on this big day?
There seems to be something wrong with this situation.
He stood up and struck up a conversation with the guests at the nearby table, trying to get some information from them. Unexpectedly, those people all had weird smiles on their faces and didn't respond to him at all. They just stared intently at the stage.
Zu An felt a tremble in his heart, returned to the table, and whispered to everyone: "Something is wrong!"
Qiu Honglei and Jing Teng also nodded, and they also noticed something was wrong.
At this time, Weisuo was peeling peanuts and putting them in his mouth, while pointing to the stage: "Look!"
At this time, there was another turning point on the stage. An imperial envoy from the palace passed by to interrogate the case, acquitted the couple, and sentenced the wealthy young man and several officials he had bribed to death.
Several officials were beheaded, beheaded, and even executed by Ling Chi.
This is not the key, after all, it is all drama.
But in the eyes of Zu An and others, it was too realistic for the actors who played those characters to be directly pressed on the instrument of torture, with the knife in hand and blood flowing freely.
A human skull rolled down in front of them, with two eyeballs protruding, and blood and tears seeping out of the eye sockets. It was definitely not a prop, but a real human head!
"Stop!" Zu An shouted, what on earth is going on in this manor, or is someone committing murder through acting?
At this moment, Qiu Honglei suddenly heard an exclamation. Zu An hurriedly looked back and saw him.
The tea in each of their cups turned as red as blood, and the plates full of fruits and pastries turned into maggots and mice.
Weisuo, who was enjoying his meal, froze when he saw this scene!
