Chapter 17 Swimming in the Lake and Encountering Immortals


"Huh?"

As soon as Sun Yihuan heard the words of the housekeeper, he jumped up from the chair, and at that moment he even woke up a little bit of wine, "What did you say?"

To put it bluntly, what goblin?

”"That......

It is......

This one......

Hi!

Young master, the little mouth is stupid, I can't say clearly, you better go over and take a look by yourself. ”This family is indeed a fool, and he can't squeeze out a useful sentence after grinding in his mouth for a long time, and the only reason why he will appear here is obviously because of his fast legs."

Okay, lead the way."

Sun Yihuan didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he was ready to go with him.Of course, he also had to explain to Yun Shili: "Brother Yun, I'll go and see what's going on, you can do it yourself." ”"Don't~" Unexpectedly, Yun Shili also stood up at this time, and said with a little smile, "I haven't seen a goblin when I'm so big, let me open my eyes today." ”He was able to say this in such a relaxed tone for two reasons: first, he had high martial arts; Second, he didn't believe in any ghosts or gods in this world at all.In Yun Shili's view, the so-called "haunting goblins" are either suspicious of ghosts, or some people pretend to be ghosts; No matter which one it is, he can solve it, and he is also willing to help Sun Yihuan solve this matter.But......

Sun Yihuan doesn't see it that way.Brother Sun is a person who has seen ghosts and foxes with his own eyes, and he clearly knows that there are some supernatural phenomena in this martial arts world.At the beginning of Nalanruo Temple, Xie Run, the third master of the Yong Dart Bureau, also had the same idea as Yun Shili, and Xie Run's martial arts were not low, but if it weren't for Sun Yihuo's presence, Xie San's family would have been burned to death in the temple's Dan room.Therefore, Yun Shili's reaction at this moment is roughly "never dead" in Sun Yihuan's eyes."

I tell you, don't regret it, some things are better to believe than to believe."

Sun Yixiang reminded Yun Shili with a serious face.But Yun Shili didn't appreciate it at all, and was still laughing: "Hey!

I said, how can you believe those at such a young age?

”"You don't believe it, do you?

Yes......

You'll just come along. ”Sun Yihuan felt that it was useless to persuade him, so he sneered and said, "Heh......

Don't blame me for not reminding you of what happened then. ”"......Shh What can happen?

”Yun Shili is still very firm, this kind of cognitive difference in the three views, it is indeed difficult to shake because of one or two sentences, "Maybe it's a wild cat or a wild dog or something, or a thief stealing something...... he paused, "You can be regarded as catching up today, Yun is also experienced in solving cases, and I see that I will help you settle this matter in a moment and a half, and it is not in vain to eat and live for you." ”He said so, and Sun Yihuan didn't argue with him anymore, but just turned around, instructed the family to lead the way, and led them towards the West Chamber.In ancient times, there were certain rules for the layout of large houses: the north of the house was usually the master's living room, which was "sitting north and facing south", while the master's bedroom would be located due north to east, connected to the living room; The east wing on the east side is occupied by the master's son, and the office and guest rooms are also located on the east side; The west chamber is for the female dependents, the owner's daughter, as well as sisters, sisters, aunts and nieces and the like all live in the west chamber, if the family does not have a daughter, or the daughter is married, the west chamber can also be used as a guest room; As for the last south side, it is for the next person to live.Although due to the differences in climate in different regions, the customs and patterns of mansions in some places will be different, but they generally follow this rule, and Sunfu is no exception.Since Sun Yihuan is the only son in the family, and his father has no sisters and nephews, no one lives in the west wing of their Sun Mansion most of the time.On weekdays, the northwest half of the room in the west wing is empty, and it is used as a spare room, in case a female guest arrives or the room in the east wing is full, it can be used at any time; The south-west half of the room was used as a storage room for a mess.The place where the accident happened tonight is in the southwest.Sun Yihe and Yun Shili rushed to the scene under the leadership of the famous family, and when they arrived, they saw a large group of subordinates gathered around the door of a storage room and discussed."

Young Master, you're here!"

As soon as he saw Sun Yihuan's figure, an old man walked up quickly, "Come and take a look, something is wrong in this house!"

”This is the housekeeper of Sun's house, and the slave follows the master's surname, so he is also surnamed Sun.Steward Sun is already in his sixties this year, and he is a "veteran employee" here, and all the young masters of the three generations of the Sun family have grown up with his own eyes.Seeing this, some people may think it is strange, isn't the "three generations" even Sun Yihuan's grandfather counted, could it be that this housekeeper worked here at the age of ten?

That's right, when Steward Sun first came to Sun's Mansion, he was ten years old and was "sold" by someone.In those days, this kind of thing was also very common, and many poor families had too many children to support, so they picked an older one and sold it to the head of the big family.If you're lucky, I'll catch up with the proprietor's benevolence and righteousness, and treat you as a person, and tell you about basic human rights or something, of course......

You don't even think about labor law or something.And the unlucky, being a cow and a horse, being beaten and scolded......

It's also for a lifetime.This housekeeper Sun is undoubtedly lucky, from a boy who works as a boy to a housekeeper, although he has also suffered and tired, he has not been beaten and scolded.The generations of masters of the Sun Mansion are all good to their subordinates, as long as you abide by the rules, work hard, and don't be scheming and traitors, then the treatment will not be bad; Even if you sell yourself in, you will be paid a salary, and after ten or eight years of work, if you save enough money and say that you want to leave, the lord will even give you more severance pay so that you can do some business or something by yourself after you go out.At that time, the rich people were able to do this, which was considered very benevolent......

There are also those who treat their subordinates like pigs and dogs, beat, scold, abuse and abuse to death and then bury them, as long as the deed of sale is there, the government will not be able to manage this matter.Therefore, it makes sense that the Sun family can have such a force in Hangzhou, and it is the accumulation of these little things bit by bit that can slowly precipitate word of mouth.One day, the Sun family is really going to encounter something, and the people are willing to say a few good words for them, and even make some efforts......

For example, last time, Sun Yihuan mobilized the silversmiths in the city to do things for the silver, and if someone else did it, even if he had money, he might not be able to do it so neatly.And this Steward Sun's loyalty to the owner, not to mention - he has been in this mansion for fifty years, and this is his home.In addition, he himself has never been married and had children......

To put it mildly, he looks at Sun Yuanwai and Sun Yihe in the same way as he looks at his own son and grandson; At the moment, he asked the family to only call Sun Yihu, and did not inform Master Sun, also because he knew very well that this kind of thing still had to be handled by the shrewd and capable young master, and not only could not solve the problem by finding the master, but might also scare him."

Hiss......"

When Sun Yihuan heard the housekeeper's words, he immediately sucked between his teeth, frowned and wondered, "What's going on, what's going on in the house?"

”"Uh......"

Steward Sun groaned, looked at Yun Shili who was standing next to Brother Sun, and gave his young master a look."

But it doesn't hurt to say it."

Sun Yihuan understood what he meant, so he responded to this sentence again.The butler received an affirmative answer, so he nodded, and continued: "Young master, do you remember that in the evening, the prefect sent someone to send a painting?"

”"I remember."

This was a few hours ago, Sun Yihuan naturally remembered, "What is it that you say......

'Swimming in the Lake and Encountering Immortals'?"

”"yes, that's the painting."

Steward Sun lowered his voice, leaned forward a few points, and looked sideways at the storage room a few meters away, "When Xiao Wu, who had just been patrolling the night, passed by the door of the house, he heard a woman's voice in the house, he approached and listened, and the woman seemed to be still singing......

"It is said that there are only things piled up in this room, and there should be no one, let alone the middle of the night......

Who's going to sing in that black room?

The more he thought about it, the more wrong he became, and he felt scared, so he came to my room and woke me up......

As soon as he told me about this, I thought it was this kid dreaming in the middle of the night, but I thought about it again, Xiao Wu is usually an honest child and can't lie, so I still follow him to take a look."

I didn't expect it......

It's really loud......"

Speaking of this, Steward Sun's face also showed obvious fear: "The old slave is also afraid, I don't dare to open the door, so I pierced the window paper on the door and looked in by the light of the lantern......

As a result, it turned out to be the woman in the painting singing......

"His words came to an abrupt end here."

Let's not talk about how Sun Yihe and Yun Shili reacted when they heard this, let's talk about the painting first.It is implied in the book here that this "Swimming in the Lake and Encountering Immortals" was made by Han Yu, a scholar of the Huagai Temple and the young master of the crown prince.Han Yu, like the prefect Lu, is the champion appointed by the first emperor, and Lu Wen is actually a predecessor of Han Yu, who entered the court as an official a few years earlier than him.But unlike Lu Wen, Han Yu is a world-famous talent, known as a master of calligraphy and painting; His ink treasures, but all those that flow into the people, are difficult to buy, and his talent is appreciated by the current emperor, so he is also the prince and young master.In the Ming Dynasty that we are more familiar with, the "Three Princes and Three Orphans" are only fictitious titles most of the time, and they do not hold real positions, but in the "Xi Dynasty" of this book, the young master is still an auxiliary minister of the East Palace, and he has great power.So how did his "Swimming in the Lake and Encountering Immortals" end up in Lu Wen's hands?

This is both sad and ridiculous: when Han Yu first entered the officialdom, he couldn't help but worship the dock to climb the relationship, and one day he went to Lu Wen's house.But Han Yu was born in a poor family, and he had just become an official, so he didn't have time to be greedy, so he couldn't even get the bribe......

Helplessly, he could only take out a painting he had painted before, which could be considered a gift, so he gave it away.Presumably someone here is going to ask again, didn't Fang Cai still say that his calligraphy and painting are hard to find?

How could he have no money?

Isn't this nonsense?

What was the price of Van Gogh's paintings when he was alive?

What is the price when you die?

At that time, Han Yu had just won the top prize, and his works did not have the value of his official worship of the young master in the future.When Lu Wen got the painting, he was still unhappy, and said: "You are the champion, I am also the champion, I am two years earlier than you."

People worship the pier and send real money, you are good, give me a picture, heh......

I want to love to draw, can't I paint myself?

”So, Lu Wen threw the painting into the storeroom without even looking at it; In his eyes, this thing is not as valuable as those old antiques, but it was given by someone who was an official in the same dynasty, and it is not good to lose it directly, so let's keep it first.Unexpectedly, in less than a few years, Han Yu was on the rise, and his name soon began to be praised by the world, and the calligraphy and paintings he left behind in previous years have also become treasures.At this time, Lu Wen found the painting from the cabinet, found a craftsman to frame it, and hung it in the most conspicuous place in his study.Until......

Today.Because he was forcibly asked for a "congratulatory gift" by Sun Yihuan when he was at a loss, Lu Wen said the excuse of "rare and rare" in a hurry.But where is he so rare and rare?

He Lu Wen is just a prefect, not an emperor, this kind of thing can be taken out?

If he and Sun Yihuan swap roles in this matter, it will be easier to do - Brother Sun is likely to go home and catch a mouse, take the pulp and brush it white, say that this is called "brocade mouse", and then dare to send it to the other party's house.But how can Lu Wen have this intelligence?

Even if he has this intelligence, he doesn't have the cheekiness.However, Lord Lu didn't dare not send it, because he was really afraid of the cloud release......

Moreover, after Lord Lu returned home, he also realized that Sun Yihuan was pretending to be confused, and he also knew that he had underestimated the young master of the Sun family......

At present, this "congratulatory gift" is estimated to be the step given to him by the other party, and if he does not grasp it well, he may be subjected to heavy suffering.There was no way, Lu Wen gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and gave him the "Picture of Swimming in the Lake and Encountering Immortals".But he didn't know that in fact, the painting was ......

Ghosts.
