In the early morning, before work began, at breakfast stalls everywhere, people were eating breakfast and chatting about the latest news.
"Have you all heard about the haunted house in Ming Dynasty?" A coolie man chatted with his tablemates while eating noodles.
The person sitting next to him was a hawker selling groceries. Before the stall opened, he came over to have a bowl of porridge.
"Of course!" He sneered, "Who doesn't know about this? I heard that the sixth master of his family forced his widowed sister-in-law to death and set a date for the funeral, but in the end, she couldn't even lift the coffin!"
"Yes! The Ming family is so haunted. Mr. Yao is the most famous Mr. Yin and Yang in Dongning. I heard that he was possessed that day! Tsk, tsk, tsk, that's scary."
Someone else chimed in: "Don't tell me that Mr. Yao is incompetent? Maybe he just blew his reputation!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" The man was very unhappy when his information was questioned. "Not only Mr. Yao, but also the Ming family invited Mr. Yin and Yang and the Goddess and Goddess nearby. They made a fuss for several days, but the coffin just couldn't be lifted.
come out."
"Is that so?" Unexpectedly, the hawker quickly asked, "What's going on now?"
"What else can we do? The body is still on display in the mourning hall!"
"Oh, so fierce!"
"Look at me, this is death with eyes open! Being forced to death and leaving an unmarried daughter behind, the Ming family is still fine."
"Didn't I hear that the Sixth Master was beaten half to death?"
"Beat him half to death and then he's done?" the man sneered, "What do you mean to beat him half to death? It means he's been raised and still alive and kicking. If it were me, I'd die with my eyes closed."
Thinking that these words were unlucky, I said "Bah" again, clasped my hands together and chanted: "Good luck and good luck, good luck and good luck."
The hawker asked: "Do you want Mr. Mingliu to pay with his life?" After thinking about it, he thought it was impossible.
"Haha!" The person at the table was also talking about this, and someone described it vividly, "Have you all heard of Sister-in-law Zhen from Guanmiao? She always says that she is better than Mrs. Liu on weekdays, and others don't know her stuff. The Ming family invited her that day.
She was so happy that she spread it everywhere. But she ended up in the Ming family...hahahaha!"
"Don't just laugh! What's going on?" The listener became anxious.
The man said: "She was sent back less than half an hour after entering Ming's house! I heard that after returning home, she kept shouting, there is a ghost, there is a ghost! Hahaha, she also said how powerful she is! Let's see
Mrs. Liu is still the most moral and moral person. When the Ming family went to invite her, she said she couldn't accept it and didn't even go."
Everyone was talking about it, and eight out of ten tables were talking about it.
…
Sitting on a table in the corner of the breakfast stall were two people who were incompatible with these common people.
A man with a jade crown and fine attire, dressed like a prince of a noble family, was sitting facing inwards, making it difficult for people to see his appearance.
The other man was dressed in black and had a stern face. He seemed to be a guard, but he was sitting at the same table as the young master.
"Sir." The guard in black lowered his voice, "This matter has caused such a big fuss, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes of the Ming family are staring at it. I think they won't dare to attack Miss Ming."
Yang Shu slowly adjusted the ratio of hot sauce and vinegar and said, "Are you missing Ah Wan?"
The black-clothed guard's expression remained unchanged: "Ah Wan is not here, and there is no one around you to take care of you."
"Tsk, you said Xiaotong is not a human being. I'll tell her later."
"..." the guard in black said, "You know this is not what I mean."
Yang Shu laughed twice, picked up the fried dumplings with sauce and ate them.
"It tastes very good." He said, "Axuan, do you want to try it?"
The black-clothed guard Ah Xuan had tasted it a long time ago. How could he dare to let the young master enter his mouth when eating outside? It was just an ordinary taste, and he didn't know where it was better.
He attributed it to the young master's strange temper.
"Okay, I know what you mean." Yang Shu said, "You are just too suspicious. You can't trust anyone except the few around you."
Ah Xuan said: "The background of this Miss Ming is really weird. How can the young master dare to trust her when there is no way to investigate her like this?"
"That's because you haven't seen her before." After saying it was delicious, Yang Shu ate two and put it down.
Ah Xuan was doubtful: "Is she so capable?"
"Well, she has the ability." Yang Shu smiled, "But the most important thing is that she is so beautiful. Facing such a beautiful person, one can't help but feel soft-hearted."
"..." Ah Xuan thought to himself, he is so soft-hearted. Last time, the girl from Chu Kingdom, Xizuo, was also as beautiful as a fairy. What was the result? He didn't hesitate when he broke her neck.
"Go back." Yang Shu stood up and motioned for him to pay the bill.
Ah Xuan paid for the meal and followed him: "Young Master..."
Yang Shu waved his hand: "No need to say anything, I have made up my mind."
Ah Xuan had no choice but to shut up.
The sun rises, shops open one after another, and the streets become lively.
The two wandered for a while, and Yang Shu said: "We are wandering around like this, but we don't have many eyeliners. Has my cousin changed his mind?"
Ah Xuandao: "When the Ming family's affairs are exposed, he is afraid that he will be implicated, right?"
"Haha, how can you achieve such great things if you are so timid?" Yang Shu casually picked up a monkey mask from the stall and put it on his face.
Ah Xuan paid the money and chased after him: "What you said, do you think it would be bold to bring the handle to you?"
As they talked, the two of them arrived at a quiet place.
Yang Shu said: "Go and call Ah Wan and arrange for me to meet that girl Ming."
Ah Xuan was startled: "Young Master?"
Yang Shu took off his mask and smiled: "Since she has proven with her strength that she is very useful, it's time for me to show my sincerity."
…
Mrs. Ming's house was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Knowing that something like that happened at the funeral, Mrs. Ming fell ill.
The second lady came in to say hello: "Mom, how are you feeling today?"
Mrs. Ming opened her eyes and said in a weak voice: "It's okay. I'm busy at home, so you don't have to come here every day."
Then he asked: "What are you going to do about the third daughter-in-law?"
The second lady hurriedly said: "I just wanted to ask you for an idea. There is no way to bury the body now, and it is difficult to keep the tomb set up..."
There are old people at home, which is very unlucky.
But Mrs. Mingsan’s coffin is still there and cannot be buried. It doesn’t seem appropriate to dismantle it now!
Mrs. Ming sighed: "Still can't get up the coffin?"
"……yes."
I have invited all the yin and yang gentlemen, magic sticks and goddesses, but to no avail.
The second lady has already believed it, which shows that the third lady has not redressed her grievances and refuses to be buried.
"Tear it down."
The second lady was stunned.
Mrs. Ming said: "Since she refuses to leave, we have to keep her. Be careful, the weather is getting hotter and don't let the body rot. Then ask the second child to write a letter to the capital and invite a Xuanshi to come over.
It’s hard to find anyone, so just find someone a little more ordinary, as long as he has real ability.”
The second lady was surprised. The old lady spoke so clearly and clearly, she seemed to know Xuanshi very well?
"Isn't it very hard to hear the news outside?" Mrs. Ming asked again.
The second lady was silent: "Yes."
"Don't worry about those. No matter how ugly the words are, it's not like we haven't heard them before. Back in the capital, your grandfather..." The old lady stopped here and laughed at herself, "It's not a good thing. What's there to mention? Okay.
, you go."
The second lady stood up: "You have a good rest."
Back then, what the old lady wanted to say was about her grandfather being rejected by the late emperor, right? Speaking of which, the Ming family also had such prosperity...
