The crow of roosters sounded from somewhere else. These things were not raised in Liu's courtyard.
So the rooster's crow was very far away, but the dog's bark was very close. Lin Qian opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.
Looking at the underwear on his body, his expression moved slightly. There was an ancient costume on the table not far away.
It was getting dark, and there was already a slight noise outside the door. It must be that the servants were busy preparing.
This day is about to begin.
After getting off the bed, Lin Qian looked at the set of clothes and began to reminisce in his mind. After eating too many evil spirits, some memories inevitably appeared in his mind.
"That's how you should dress..."
Lin Qian picked up his clothes and started to change. To be honest, people who have never studied can't wear ancient clothes. This is serious.
The quality of the clothes is very good, the texture is fine and smooth, it looks like a blue gown, similar to a Confucian robe, but not quite like it.
Lin Qian swung his sleeves, looking very cool and unrestrained. Well... I feel that way.
Apart from the fact that the hair is not long enough, there is no other problem.
As for the hair, it could mean that the head was injured and had to be cut short. This is a very good reason.
The clothes are very good and should cost a lot. The shoes are also prepared and they are very considerate.
Put on the shoes, well... they fit very well, they must be customized.
Lin Qian looked at her outfit, a green shirt and long coat, looking like a scholar.
Lin Qian subconsciously pushed up his glasses, but when he touched his nose, he realized that he was not wearing glasses.
I couldn't help but smile a little. After I became emotionally full, many habits would appear subconsciously.
It was deliberate before, but now it's really subconscious.
The stinging pain on the back of his head was no longer serious, and Lin Qian didn't care about it. As long as he didn't die, there wouldn't be any problems.
The sunlight outside the window began to slowly appear. Lin Qian opened the door to the room and saw a yard.
The ancient high-rise courtyard is full of red and green flowers, which is a pleasant scenery.
There were servants carrying water calmly. When they saw Lin Qian, they just lowered their heads. Although there was something strange in their eyes, they didn't look at anything more and went to work on their own.
Lin Qian understood this. In this era, both men and women tied their hair, even children.
Now that a man with short hair appears, it is normal to be curious. After all, he is not a monk.
Lin Qian didn't care about this and just walked on the corridor. Wooden houses were very rare in modern times, especially such large yards.
He had only been seen in Dajing City before and was well protected.
"Alas...another wild cat died. Who did this? How could it be so cruel?"
"Stop talking, let's get this thing out first, lest the master and his wife will be unhappy when they see it later."
Under a corner, two servants were wrapping something up with a piece of black cloth.
Lin Qian rolled his eyes and took a closer look at what it was. It was a black cat with a dry body.
Because the movements of the two servants were very clumsy and they looked like they had dealt with this kind of thing often and were not afraid, Lin Qian did not see the expression of the cat.
But I think it must have been extremely frightening, after all, it screamed very shrilly yesterday.
The poor little kitten died like this. It would be delicious if it were eaten as a meal.
But be prepared to remove the acidity of the seasoning, otherwise the meat will be very sour.
Lin Qian was thinking this in his heart. He looked at the backs of the two servants walking quickly towards the outside of the house, his eyes thoughtful.
The corpse was dry and there were no wounds. The killing pattern of this evil ghost should be very terrifying.
I don’t know if the cat’s blood was swallowed by the ghost or if its blood was evaporated.
If it's the former, then this fierce ghost will grow up very quickly. If it's the latter...
Lin Qian smiled and stopped looking at the two people. He walked in the yard.
I saw a stone table with a chessboard pattern on it. There was a groove at the bottom of the stone table, which should be a pair of chess pieces.
Lin Qian walked over and sat in front of the stone table. The cool morning breeze blew into the courtyard.
The flowers are swaying and the servants are busy.
Lin Qian lowered his head and looked down at the chessboard, seventeen lines across...
"Based on this, I can't tell which dynasty this is, the Seventeenth Path..."
"trouble……"
Touching the checkerboard lines, Lin Qian was thinking about something in her mind.
But suddenly there was a conversation, the voice of two maids.
"I'm telling you, something big happened on the street today."
"Huh? What's the big deal? Is the city lord's son in need..."
"...No, don't say such things in the house. The young master is still here... If it ruins the master's affairs, we will all have to enter the ancestral hall..."
The voices were very familiar, one was Xiaoyun's, and the other was unclear.
Lin Qian's eyes flickered slightly, and he listened quietly without making a sound.
The sound coming from not far away stopped for a moment. It seemed that a maid was a little scared and didn't dare to say anything.
After a while, the voice reappeared. The spirit of gossip is a good quality that everyone should have.
"If it's not this, then what is it?"
"I heard it too, and I don't know if it's true or not. You can just listen to it. But I heard that Gozenji has come forward. It should be true. Aunt Liu probably won't make fun of Gozenji." This is what Xiaoyun said.
if.
"What on earth happened? Why did even the Gozenji come out? Come on, don't show off." The other maid was obviously impatient and couldn't listen to so much nonsense.
"Don't be anxious. Let me tell you slowly. Here's what happened. Didn't Aunt Liu go shopping for groceries this morning? Not long after she left, she saw that Yongye Pawnshop was surrounded by people."
"We all know who Aunt Liu is. She just likes to watch the fun, so she squeezed in. Guess what happened?"
"What's wrong?"
"Aunt Liu saw the shopkeeper of Yongye Pawnshop."
"...That's it? What's so strange about seeing the shopkeeper? Don't we see it every day? What's the point?" The other maid was a little impatient. What Xiaoyun said was all nonsense, which made her feel uncomfortable.
"Hmph~ It's really not surprising to see the shopkeeper, but what if you only see half of him?"
"Half? What do you mean...?" The maid was puzzled.
"I don't even understand it now, so all the reading has been in vain? I don't even understand half of the meaning."
"You mean, there are only half of the owners of Yongye Pawnshop left? Isn't he dead? How could Aunt Liu see it?" This little maid is obviously not as smart as Xiao Yun, otherwise she would not ask such a question.
"Of course he is dead, but who said you can't see it after you die?" Xiaoyun said disdainfully, but judging from her trembling voice, she seemed to be a little scared.
"You mean what Aunt Liu saw was a corpse? Half a corpse?" the little maid said in disbelief.
"To be precise, it's half a corpse. According to Aunt Liu, the death of the owner of Yongye Pawnshop was extremely miserable. He only had his upper body, while his lower body was missing. His intestines rolled on the ground and flowed all over the floor."
"When Aunt Liu saw this scene, she was shocked. Who has seen such a tragedy? Aunt Liu's face turned pale with fright."
"Aunt Liu didn't dare to look any further and left quickly. When she came back, she told us that her face didn't look very good."
"She said that the shopkeeper's death was strange. She could see clearly at that time that the shopkeeper's expression was extremely frightened and desperate, as if he had seen something terrifying before he died."
"Anyway, it's just very permeable. That's what Aunt Liu said..."
Hearing Xiaoyun say this, the other little maid turned pale:
"This is too tragic..."
"Who is... um... Master? Why are you here?"
Lin Qian looked at the two little maids walking in from the courtyard with a calm expression.
"Wake up, sit here for a while, what's wrong, you can't sit here?"
"Ah? No, no, what I mean is, why don't you take a nap? Your head injury is serious after all, so you should pay attention to rest." Xiaoyun looked at Lin Qian nervously, she bit her lip, as if
What are you worried about?
"When you wake up, naturally you don't need to sleep anymore." Lin Qian said with a smile.
The courtyard was a little quiet. Xiaoyun swallowed. She was very nervous. She was not sure whether Lin Qian heard what she said before.
It's okay if she doesn't, but if she hears it...then she's finished...
But the problem is, she doesn't dare to ask. She doesn't dare to do such a thing as alerting the enemy. This is what the lady specially ordered.
For a moment she didn't know what to do.
"Sir, my wife invites you to have a meal." At this time, a middle-aged man dressed as a butler came from the corridor not far away. He walked up to Lin Qian, bowed his head and spoke.
"So early?" Lin Qian looked at the sky. Although it was already bright, how long was it? Is it eight in the morning?
"Sir, it's always so early in our house, so there's no reason to be surprised." The housekeeper lowered his head and said.
"Is that so? That's okay." Lin Qian thought for a moment and nodded.
"Master, please come this way..."
The housekeeper stretched out his hand to lead the way for Lin Qian. Lin Qian smiled and walked ahead without refusing.
The fault of the two little maids was resolved in this way. Although it was a bit deliberate, it also left Lin Qian no chance to ask about the matter.
The housekeeper looked back at the two little maids, the coldness in his eyes undisguised.
The two little maids looked a little pale, and they lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
They knew they were going to be punished.
Lin Qian walked in front, smiled and didn't take it seriously. He looked at the pavilions, wooden beams and painted buildings in front of him, his eyes thoughtful.
The pawnshop owner died tragically, the imperial minister intervened, the city lord's son, the ancestral hall...
These keywords are very interesting. Someone is planning something. This plan is on him. I wonder if it is an ancestral hall...
"Interesting part, it's really a long way to go to eat the Cunning Bride..." Madness flashed in Lin Qian's eyes, and a murderous intention emerged in her heart.
But suddenly, Lin Qian felt confused about whether to laugh or cry again. He wiped his face with some self-blame in his eyes.
"How can I think of eating the tricky bride? She loves me so much... Hehe..." Lin Qian licked her lips. The wedding dress will definitely be delicious.
