Xu Tong didn't say anything, and led the servant into the private school. The layout of the private school was actually similar to that of the study. I didn't know if the functions of the two were the same, so I chose the homophony.
Xu Tong walked in front, and the servant followed behind. Just when he was wondering, Xu Tong, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped suddenly, and the servant almost bumped into him. Just as he stabilized his pace, he instinctively raised his head to see.
Look at what happened in front of you. Why did the young master suddenly stop?
As a result, Zheng and Xu Tong glanced at each other and looked at each other. The servant felt that the young master's eyes were filled with rainbow light, and his whole consciousness became blurred.
This is the new ability that Da Ya has awakened, the fox charm technique.
The servant was stunned, and before Xu Tong could speak, he told all the information he knew.
It turns out that Mr. Wenyuan had an unusual background. When he was young, he won three consecutive top prizes in the imperial examinations, which can be said to be an unparalleled success.
However, the bad luck came here. It is said that a fraud case was exposed in the examination room at that time, and one of his friends was caught. As a result, in order to get rid of the crime, the friend dragged him, the number one scholar, into this dirty water.
Now things are in trouble. Things have gotten out of hand. After all, since ancient times, the number one scholar in Enke has been chosen by the emperor from among the top three, and he has been appointed as the number one scholar. Therefore, people say that the number one scholar is Wenquxing who descended to earth and is the emperor's disciple.
, if it was really cheating, it would be tantamount to slapping the emperor’s face.
At that time, the late emperor was furious and without waiting for the investigation to reveal the truth, he put the person in jail and announced the abolition of Enke's re-examination at a later date.
Finally, after waiting for half a year, we found out that the incident had nothing to do with Wenyuan himself.
But at that time, the number one scholar had already appeared when the exam was re-opened. The emperor couldn't order two number one scholars. After all, this was related to the country, the country, the royal family, not the princess of KTV. White Horse, if you have money, you can order as many as you want.
.
In addition to the so-called emperor's golden words, even if you know that you have been framed, you can't let the emperor admit his mistake. The emperor is right, and it is your fault.
As a result, this man who was supposed to be the number one scholar was deposed. It is said that he was in a daze after that, and some people said that he had gone crazy.
It happened that when Ma Hongwen was seven or eight years old, the Ma Qi family went to Beijing and saw Mr. Wenyuan on the way. Ma Qi and Mr. Wenyuan were both fellow villagers. After learning about Mr. Wen Yuan, they simply invited the homeless man to visit him.
The old beggar for many years became a teacher for Ma Hongwen.
From now on, I will live in Ma's house, have no worries about food and drink, and still have some money every month.
Mr. Wenyuan was very attentive to teaching on weekdays. Although Ma Hongwen was arrogant and domineering, he still had some respect for this old gentleman.
Just two months ago, the old gentleman suddenly passed away. Ma Qi was quite sad, so he put up a sign in the school room and asked his servants to offer three sticks of incense every day, and treat him as a member of the Ma family.
In the same way, even if people with other surnames cannot enter the ancestral hall, there is still a feeling of incense after all.
After the servant finished speaking, his consciousness became clear, but he didn't have the slightest impression of what he had just said, and his memory still stayed at the moment when he entered the door.
When he looked up, he saw Xu Tong holding three sticks of yellow incense in his hand and inserting them into the incense burner on the table.
There is also a sign standing behind the incense burner, which reads the position of Meng Master Zhang Wenyuan.
"Hey, maybe I'm dreaming and missing my husband."
Xu Tong sighed and dispelled the doubts in the servant's mind with one word.
The servant's doubts were dispelled, but Xu Tong had more doubts in his heart. Is he afraid of ghosts? No, it is a miracle that ghosts are not afraid of him.
But last night, when Mr. Wenyuan was standing there, he didn't notice the aura of a ghost on his body at all. Instead, he was just like a living person.
Thinking of this, he deliberately looked at the entire room with his Life Eye Qimen, but saw nothing.
I simply went back to the room to change clothes.
The life of a rich man is just different. As soon as the two girls entered the door and saw Xu Tong's wet appearance, they were immediately startled.
The eldest grandma has repeatedly warned the young master to take care of his wounds carefully.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, the young master turned himself into a drowned rat. This frightened the two maids, fearing that if the young master did something bad, they would not escape the fate of being beaten to death with sticks.
Oh, one thing to mention here is that servants who can enter the mansion to serve others have basically signed a contract. Life and death are in their hands. Even if they are beaten to death, the government will not take care of them.
So the two girls were making ginger soup, boiling water, and helping Xu Tong take off his clothes and wrap him in a quilt.
Until the water is hot, come and wipe his body with hot water yourself.
These two pairs of dexterous little hands were touching around his body. If Xu Tong had no reaction at all, how could that be possible? He was not Bajie.
However, the two girls were already used to this, and even blushed and praised, "Master, you are so white."
Even though Xu Tong was so shameless, being teased like this by two girls made him feel a little nervous, but fortunately he didn't forget that his side mission had not been completed yet.
He raised a girl's chin with his fingers and glanced at the girl's collar with squinted eyes: "You only see that my skin is white and my flesh is tender, but you don't know that young master, I also care about my beauty."
As he said that, he picked up the girl's hand and rubbed it back and forth in his palm: "Can you understand dance skills and music?" The girl's face turned red when he rubbed it with his hands, and she nodded with a cheerful face.
After saying that, Xu Tong suddenly looked out the door and seemed to sigh: "Okay, okay, it's going to snow soon."
Hearing this, the girl trembled all over and suddenly remembered that last winter, when those maids were frozen alive and turned into ice sculptures, her face suddenly turned pale.
Xu Tong looked sideways at her trembling body, smiled on his face, and stroked her head with his hand: "Unfortunately, I will go to the palace soon to serve as an errand. Tomorrow you can go back to grandma's place to serve me.
I won’t support you two idlers here, so get out!”
After hearing this, the two maids felt like they were being pardoned, and hurriedly ran out of the room with a basin in hand. When they left the door, the girl who had been held by Xu Tong immediately started to cry loudly.
When the servants passing by saw this, they were already used to it. How could they not know what kind of virtue their young master was? Except for Duan Cheng who could figure out the young master's preferences, no one else faced the young master and knew what he was going to do next.
What's the mood?
When the two girls walked away, Xu Tong immediately received a reminder from the prop book.
[The side mission has been completed and you have received a temporary identity bonus reward. Please choose one among them. 】
1: Wealth bonus: After choosing, you will get a windfall every once in a while.
2; Luck bonus, your luck will be temporarily improved after the bonus.
3: Official luck bonus, you will get official luck after the bonus.
Xu Tong didn't think twice and directly chose the luck bonus. He was not short of money. His mother gave him 200 taels of silver notes. Their family was destined not to be short of money. He had no interest in being an official. Although luck was temporary,
But not bad either.
"Master, it's a pity that you don't want these two pretty little maids."
Da Ya leaned against the door frame at the entrance of the hall and watched, giggling.
Xu Tong ignored Da Ya's teasing, put on his clothes and said: "You saw it last night, it must not be a ghost, what should it be?"
"Nine times out of ten, he is the house god."
Da Ya is worthy of being the woman behind Xu Tong. She is well-informed and has been an immortal for many years. She can determine the identity of Mr. Wenyuan at this time.
If a family has a house god, they will be blessed with descendants.
This house god has the meaning of a deity, but it is not a deity. Strictly speaking, it should be a Yin deity.
"I think this old scholar has some talents and aura. He has been favored by your family over the years, and with the incense of your family, he became a Yin God by chance."
Da Ya is a bit disgusted. Humans are the leader of hundreds of spirits and have an inherent advantage over beasts like them. Even the ancestors of the Hu family did not have this good fortune. As a result, a bookworm became a Yin God in a daze.
"That's it."
Xu Tong understood. After a while, the two maids ran back again. After carefully placing the food boxes on the table, they brought in the little girl Xu Tong had brought back.
The little girl, who was only six or seven years old, hid behind the two girls and looked at him with a fearful expression.
But soon, she was attracted by the food on the table.
My eyes widened as I looked at the food on the table, my stomach growling unsatisfactorily.
"Master!"
The girl walked carefully to Xu Tong and whispered a few words in Xu Tong's ear.
"oh!!"
After hearing the girl's words, Xu Tong looked at the little girl again with a slightly strange look in his eyes: "Okay, you guys go down and go to the accounting room to get ten taels of silver and tell me that I rewarded it. In addition, this matter..."
"We don't know anything."
These two girls were frightened by Xu Tong just now, but now they are much smarter, for fear of making the young master unhappy again.
Xu Tong nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand for the two of them to go down. He immediately circled around the girl and pulled back the girl's hair with his fingers. He saw that there were dense green and purple scales on the girl's neck...
"What is this??"
Just now the maid said that she subconsciously thought it was ichthyosis, but when she saw it, it was really scales.
The girl noticed Xu Tong's gaze and immediately moved away. She hid in a corner with a wary expression. After darting around with her eyes, she grabbed the fried dough sticks on the table and ran outside.
When the servants saw the girl running out, they stretched out their hands to stop her, but they heard Xu Tong's voice from a distance: "Don't stop her, let her run!"
Looking back, I saw Xu Tongzheng following behind slowly, as if he was just strolling around, not worrying about how far the child could run.
The child seemed to realize that no one was stopping her, so she ran out of the gate in one go and headed towards a crowded place.
"Huh? You're quite thoughtful."
Seeing that this child knew how to use the surrounding environment to gain opportunities to escape at such a young age, Xu Tong found it even more interesting and followed him leisurely, intending to see where the child could run.
People in this era still have a very regular schedule, rising at sunrise and resting at sunset.
Although it was just dawn, there were many people on the street.
The girl looked back from time to time as she ran, and she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized that no one was catching up behind her.
But when she turned around, she saw Xu Tongren sitting in front of the breakfast shop, looking at her with a smile.
