Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 350

[Chapter 350 The Hanged Ghost (2)]

The businessman with the surname He is named He Wanchang. He is a small businessman, and he is smooth and smooth. He has always had business dealings with A Qiu’s family. He did not move around until A Qiu’s father was imprisoned. But Aqiu is still very grateful to He Wanchang. After all, it was He Wanchang who helped him when he was alone, so when he lived in the He family, he usually did what he could.

One day, when she was watering the flowers and plants, He Wanchang’s son came over quietly, hid behind him, and with a wow sound, A Qiu was startled.

“Brother He, you scare me again.” Seeing that it was He Yongcai, A Qiu smiled slightly. After all, he lived in someone else’s house and couldn’t compare to his own, so his face couldn’t be too ugly.

He Youcai is He Wanchang’s only son. He is very precious, but his character is not bad, but he is just having fun. Seeing A Qiu watering the flowers and plants, he smiled and said, “What are these flowers and plants to play with, I’m bored to death.

” Brother He, flowers and plants also have life.” A Qiu carefully watered the water.

A Youcai looked at A Qiu and whispered, “Why don’t I take you out to play?”

“He, let’s go, I can’t go away.”

“Don’t be like this, you stay at home every day, how do you feel about you? It ‘s no good.”

“It’s still not good.”

He Youcai saw that he couldn’t move A Qiu, he turned his head, and said in a low voice, “You stay at home all day and don’t go out, and you can’t think of a way to help your father, why don’t you go outside with me? , maybe I can meet someone who can help me.”

“This…” He Youcai’s words hit A Qiu’s mind, she thought about how to save her father day and night, so she was a little shaken.

He Youcai saw what was on A Qiu’s mind and couldn’t help but take A Qiu and left. “Let’s go, don’t hesitate.”

A Qiu hurriedly put down the kettle in his hand and went out with He Youcai. The two walked around the street first, and He Youcai picked some interesting things from time to time. I teased A Qiu, but A Qiu didn’t have a smile. After walking for a long time, A Qiu couldn’t help but ask, “Brother He, didn’t you say…”

“Okay, I get it, I’ll take you there.” He Youcai knew what A Qiu was thinking, so he took A Qiu into Jingxiang Zhai, which is a large local bookstore with many literati and elegant scholars. They all love to join in the fun, drink tea, recite poems, and pass the time, and there are also a few official children.

After entering Jingxiang Zhai, A Qiu saw so many people and wanted to leave, but He Youcai grabbed him, A Youcai whispered in A Qiu’s ear, “Trust me, if we don’t get anything today, I’ll go back. I will apologize to you.”

“…Well.” He Youcai said so, A Qiu had to agree.

The two found a table by the window and sat down, and the little two greeted warmly: “What do you two need?”

“A pot of Longjing.” He Youcai replied with a smile.

Little Er put the rag on his shoulder and said with a smile, “Okay, the guest officer is seated, and I’ll be here soon.”

Aqiu looked around. Although there were many people in Jingxiang Zhai, they were not noisy. The environment is quite elegant, so I can’t help but ask curiously, “Brother He, do you come here often?”

“Hey, I’ve been to this kind of place twice.” He You He is not a person who likes to read. He is used to having fun since he was a child. He whispered to A Qiu, “I came here a few times to see Miss Guan’s style.”

“Miss Guan is also here?” A Qiu was very curious. Surprisingly, this bookstore is mostly a place where men come. Although she said that she also saw women when she entered the door, she didn’t want Miss Guan’s to love such a place.

He Youcai nodded heavily and replied, “No, it’s not just the lady of the official family, but some children of the rich family come here often.” As the

two of them were talking, Xiao Er came over with a pot and shouted: “Guest Officer, your tea.” Saying that, Xiao Er put down two tea bowls, brewed A Qiu and He Youcai’s tea, put down another pot of brewed tea, left the table here, and went to the other table. Greet others to go.

A Qiu blew on the tea lightly, seeing the bright color of the tea, and asked in a low voice, “This tea must be expensive, right?”

“Hey, little meaning.” He Youcai replied with a smile.

At this moment, A Qiu saw that the handsome young man was sitting at the next table. The young man was only alone. After sitting down, he asked for a cup of tea and stopped talking. He took the book and read it. After reading it for a long time, he couldn’t help it. He said to himself: “What a good poem, what a good poem, Han Mei rewarded her confidant, and she was haggard with a touch of yellow.”

When A Qiu heard this, she was stunned. This poem was obviously written by her at home the year before last, but I don’t know why that person was able to recite it. He recited, so he asked in a low voice: “Brother He, how did the books in this bookstore come from?”

“You don’t know yet, this bookstore is different from other houses. Although there are thousands of ancient poems, the most convincing thing is this bookstore. The owner of the bookstore has collected it. I heard that the owner of the bookstore likes to collect poems everywhere, regardless of the source. Whenever he sees a poem he likes, he will spend money to buy it from someone, and then copy it into a book and put it in Jingxiang Zhai. , for those who have good books to read.”

“So it is.” A Qiu finally understood how the scrolls he wrote before were lost, thinking that those maids knew about this and stole the scrolls and sold them here. boss.

Having to sigh at the desolation of the world, A Qiu sighed, just at the same time as the young master at the next table, so the two couldn’t help but glance at each other, smiled slightly, and nodded lightly.

Although Aqiu is not a national beauty, she looks very delicate. The fragrance of a book on her daughter’s home who has read books makes Aqiu different from other women. In this bookstore, she is considered a top-notch beauty. Into the eye.

After a long time, the young master came over and asked softly, “Can you disturb the two of you?”

“Is something wrong?”

“Yu came alone today, without book friends, I wonder if I can join the two of you…”

“Well, sit down.” He Youcai agreed without waiting for others to finish speaking.

After the son who claimed to be Yu called Xiao Er to move the tea bowl, he looked at A Qiu and asked gently, “Does the girl like poetry and books?”

“I understand a little.” A Qiu nodded with a smile.

“Exactly, I have a poem written by my daughter’s house here. Yu is not very detailed about the meaning of this poem. I wonder if the girl can give some pointers?”

“I don’t dare to do it.” The young man saw the book in his hand and saw that it was a poem written by himself, so he asked, “Does the young man say ‘Hanmei pays his confidant, haggard and a touch of yellow’?

”

Put He Youcai aside, He Youcai is better, anyway, he doesn’t like reading, but he can look around to see which girl is born beautiful…

A Qiu pretended to read it for a while, put down the book, and replied: “This sentence says Yes, plum blossoms are affectionate, and they will also be troubled by their confidants.”

“Wonderful solution! Wonderful solution!” Yu surnamed Young Master patted his fan and applauded.

A Qiu bowed his head embarrassedly…

Drinking tea, the two chatted about some poems written by others, and they had a great conversation. A Qiu hadn’t been so happy for a long time, and the smile on his face was more.

“By the way, I haven’t asked the young lady’s name yet?”

He Youcai glanced at the young man surnamed Yu. He had already seen that this kid had plans for A Qiu, but he was just too lazy to pay attention to it, so he pretended not to hear it and continued to drink own tea.

A Qiu smiled and said: “A Qiu.”

“A Qiu… a good name, in Xiayuzi City, I am fortunate to be able to talk with the young lady about poems. It is a blessing for three lives.”

“Young master is too famous.” Sorry, blushed.

At this time, He Youcai saw an acquaintance entering Jinglu Zhai, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: “Oh, Brother Zhou, I actually met you here today.”

“Rare, Brother He, you haven’t shown your face these days. Where did you go?” Zhou Wenwu laughed.

He Youcai pointed at Aqiu and replied, “Some time ago, my father was very concerned. No, I took my little sister out to relax. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”

As soon as Zhou Wenwu saw A Qiu, his eyes were straight, and he asked desperately, “Why didn’t I hear that you have such a beautiful sister?”

“This is what Brother Zhou doesn’t know…” He Youcai put A Qiu’s story was simply told to Zhou Wenwu. First, Zhou Wenwu’s family also had relatives who were officials. He wanted to see how Zhou Wenwu could help. Second, he also wanted to prove that he did not intentionally alienate Zhou Wenwu.

Zhou Wenwu frowned when he heard this: “Is there such a thing?”

“No, hey, Aqiu suffers.” He Youcai sighed.

At this time, A Qiu was talking about poetry with Yu Zicheng, and he didn’t notice the situation on He Youcai’s side, but he didn’t know that this was the beginning of being targeted by the wolf…

A few days later, He Youcai came to pull Aqiu out again. A Qiu naturally refused. After she went out last time, she came back and was greeted by Aunt He and said that she didn’t want to upset Aunt He any more, so she refused: “Brother He, I’m not going.”

“How can you not go? “He Youcai looked at A Qiu anxiously.

Aqiu shook his head: “I originally sent someone to…”

“That’s why I let you out. Today I’m not taking you out to play, I’m taking you to meet someone who may be able to help you. “He Youcai looked at A Qiu seriously, afraid that A Qiu would not believe him, and continued: “This man’s name is Zhou Wenwu, the son of the younger brother of Master Zhou in Suzhou, I finally told him about you and asked him to Help, why don’t you go?”

A Qiu was stunned for a moment and asked nervously, “Brother He, are you telling the truth?”

“I lied to you that you are a puppy!” He Youcai swears .

Although A Qiu didn’t want to make Aunt He angry, she wanted to save her father even more, so she nodded her head, and went out with He Youcai…

This time, she went to Zhou Wenwu’s mansion, and Zhou Wenwu naturally greeted him in person , Ever since he met A Qiu that day, he has been restless, and finally welcomed A Qiu, making him very happy.

“Miss Aqiu, are you here?”

“…” A Qiu nodded lightly. She didn’t have a good impression of the fat-minded official child in front of her. If He Youcai hadn’t been there, she really planned to turn around and leave, because she felt that this person had bad intentions towards her and didn’t look at her. Otherwise, just look at Zhou Wenwu’s eyes when he looked at A Qiu, which made A Qiu feel uncomfortable.
