Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Chapter 821: Greetings

Li Haitang was coaxing the little bun, Bai Guo came in to deliver the letter, and the old lady in front of Mrs. Shaoqing of Dali Temple came to deliver the greeting card.

Li Haitang reacted for a while, and then remembered that it was Fang Shaoyao, the sister she met yesterday. At that time, the other party said that she would come to visit. She thought it was just a talk, and she didn't expect to come so soon.

After arriving in Kyoto, she will have a new social circle, and Fang Shaoyao is the first person she knows.

"Please!"

Li Haitang washed his hands, went to meet the guests in Zhuangzi's front hall, thinking about buying a yard in the city.

Living in the outskirts of the city, the environment is good, and you can escape the heat in summer, but it takes more than an hour to go out, which is really inconvenient.

Just as she was thinking, a forty-year-old woman came in.

The mother-in-law just saw it yesterday, so Li Haitang is also familiar with it, she said with a smile, "Nurse Fang, please!"

"Mrs. Xiao, our wife had a very happy conversation with you yesterday, and even told the master about it when I got home."

Nurse Fang squinted her eyes, looked at Zhuangzi, and knew that Mrs. Xiao's family must have a deep foundation.

The Li family where my master Li Guanglu belongs is also a family of officials in Kyoto, but the officials are not big, and they can't be promoted after sitting in the fourth rank.

The main family of the Li family has a Zhuangzi not far from here, and her wife wants to escape the summer heat in Zhuangzi. In this way, she is close to Mrs. Xiao, and the two families can walk around more.

"It's a good thing!"

For Fang Shaoyao's arrival, Li Haitang welcomed Fang Shaoyao very much, and Zhuangzi of the Li family was right behind, and it took less than half an hour by carriage, so it was convenient to get there.

The servants of officials and eunuchs who can walk around the capital are all fine. The meaning of Fang Shaoyao and Li Guanglu mentioned by Mother Fang proves that the family agrees to the two governments.

After all, in the eyes of others, their own family has no background, but a merchant's house from other places.

"We're new here, and my Doubao doesn't have any playmates. I saw Tangbao lively and cheerful yesterday, so I just happen to be a young lady for Doubao."

Li Haitang and Mother Fang said a few polite words, and when they learned that they were in the city, they relied on shopping for food, so they sent some of their own farm's produce, and at the end, they even asked someone to pick some crisp plums and send them over.

For the first time, you don't need to send too expensive, but some food, it's quite meaningful to make friends.

On Fang Shaoyao's side, Nanny Fang brought two extra-large carp, which were still alive, and specially raised them in a water basin.

The two chatted very happily, Li Haitang sent him away, gave him a red envelope, and told Nanny Fang that he was waiting for Fang Shaoyao at any time.

It was dusk in a flash, and Li Haitang guessed it was about the same when he looked at the sky. Starting from Zhuangzi, he arrived at Zhang Zheng's private house, and it happened to be dark.

Xiangli and Mrs. Wang were fidgeting, thinking about the upcoming meeting with Yang Xu's parents, many scenes came to mind, especially Xiangli, who was ready to say comforting words.

The carriage was driving on the country road, while the sun was setting, rendering the surrounding clouds in a fire-like color, but it lost its light and looked a little dim.

Along the way to the official road, in the fields, there are farmers who are busy preparing the land, wearing burlap and a few patches, sweating profusely.

No matter in what era and where, there are poor people who work **** their own just to earn a living.

The atmosphere in the city was a bit depressing, Xiangli sat upright with her back straight, her hands clenched into fists, which was enough to see her inner unrest.

As estimated, when we entered the city, it was just getting dark. Pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, all hurrying home.

Zhang Zheng's courtyard is a private house, surrounded by merchants and petty officials' houses. There are lanterns at the door, illuminating the small alleyways, but every family is rich, with black iron rings on them. Terrified.

"Ma'am, this is the house."

Li Kuangji got out of the carriage first, and then went to knock on the door. After a while, a response came from inside, and he asked slowly, "Who is it?"

"We talked about it with Mr. Zhang before."

Li short legs quickly matched the signal, wondering if Mr. Zhang caught fire in the backyard, raised a child outside, and didn't return at night, otherwise he couldn't let that crazy woman chase and intercept him everywhere.

Thanks to making trouble in front of them, wouldn't it be embarrassing if it was in front of colleagues?

The other party was silent for a moment, then opened the door, and Li Haitang and his party entered.

After entering the door, Li Haitang was startled. On the ground in the courtyard, yellow paper money was floating. When the evil wind blew, the paper money danced with the wind like falling flowers, and even whirled.

"Xu'er, you're back to see your parents again."

In the courtyard, sitting an old couple, their hair was already gray, bent over, looking old, staring at the whirlwind of paper money, muttering to themselves.

"It's good to come back, it's good to come back, it's your parents who don't have the ability to avenge you."

Yang Xu's mother muttered in a low voice, and finally her voice became more and more mournful, "Xu'er, where did they hide your other thigh?"

The scene was so weird that even an atheist like Li Haitang unconsciously took a few steps back, with goosebumps all over his body.

Yang Xu's body was dismembered, and after searching for the body for a long time, he pieced it together, but he was still missing a leg, and there has been no news of it until now.

"Oh, it's been a long time, and I have to come out like this every night."

The person who opened the door was a widower in his forties and no children. Because of his hard life, he often wandered among rich families, helping people carry dead bodies and so on.

These days, people are in awe of ghosts and gods, so he couldn't help saying, "When you came, you saw the lights in the alleys and every house lit up, but no one lived there, only a few servants were left to watch the gates. "

He is the gatekeeper hired by Mr. Zhang at a high price, otherwise no one would dare to take these two in.

Especially every night, there must be a cloudy wind, and paper money is blown everywhere.

In the beginning, some neighbors came to the house to scold people. No, I don’t know who passed it on, saying that the house was a place where people were murdered and quartered, and it was haunted every night. Then they had frequent nightmares, and they all moved out.

The surrounding houses include merchants, small officials of the sixth and seventh grades from other places, and the rented courtyard. They were so frightened that no one dared to come back to live.

Now, six or seven houses in the hutong have entrusted a middleman to sell their houses at a very low price, which is half of the previous price.

"This is a good location in Kyoto. The yard is naturally easy to sell, but when the middleman brings the house watcher, there are paper money floating around the yard. Who dares to buy it!"

No matter how cheap it is, you can't buy a ghost house. If you have the courage to believe in evil, come to the yard to experience it yourself. It is said that in the middle of the night, you can see a pale thigh with your own eyes! Afterwards, the middleman was unwilling to take over the house. Every time he came here to open the door for the inspectors, he would tremble and go home to have nightmares, so Hua Yinzi entrusted him to keep the key temporarily and take care of it. People look at the house.
