I'm taking the imperial examinations in Liaozhai

Chapter 145

Feng Yunlin sat in the lobby thinking about something absent-mindedly, the old Junjun drank tea calmly, and a few maidservants looked at Feng Yunlin and secretly smiled.

"Old Junjun, Miss Xin's Fourteenth Miss has arrived." A maid came in.

Feng Yunlin immediately came back to his senses and sat upright.The old Junjun glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and put down the teacup in his hand as if he knew everything clearly.

"Please come in."

"Yes."

The servant girl went out to spread the message, and soon, a young woman in red came in.

Feng Yunlin finally knew what Xin Shiniang looked like. At this moment, she was not wearing a veil, showing a beautiful face, as delicate and charming as a peach blossom in spring.Thinking that this beautiful woman might become his wife, Feng Yunlin felt as if there were many little hands tickling his heart.

"Meet the old Junjun." Xin Shishiniang didn't even give Feng Yunlin a look. After entering the lobby, she directly saluted the old Junjun.

"Well, get up." The old Junjun waved to Xin Shishiniang with a kind face, "Come here, let me have a look."

"Yes." Xin Shishiniang got up and walked over.

The old Junjun took her hand kindly, looked at her carefully, and said with satisfaction, "You really are a lovely person, no wonder my nephew misses her so much."

Xin Shishi pretended that he didn't hear anything, and said respectfully, "I don't know why the old Junjun came looking for me late at night?"

"Do you know who he is?" The old Junjun looked behind her.

Xin Shiniang turned around, looked at Feng Yunlin who was sitting, lowered her eyes, and concealed her expression, "I've only met a few times."

"He is my nephew. He likes you and wants to marry you. I have no other reason to ask you to come here. I just want to be a matchmaker for him. I will let the maids and women prepare the preparations. Anyway, the nephew's family There are no other elders, and I will be a witness for you today, so you can come and marry in my mansion."

Xin Shishiniang opened her eyes wide, unable to hide her shock.Not only her, Feng Yunlin was also taken aback, "Madam, is this too hasty?"

"Choosing a day is worse than bumping into it. I think today's day is pretty good. Don't worry, there is nothing lacking in the mansion, and your marriage will definitely not be wronged." The old Junjun laughed.

"Please think again, old Junjun." Xin Shishiniang bowed her head and said respectfully.

The old Junjun lowered his face and looked at her gloomyly, "Why, do you think my nephew is not good enough for a fox like you?"

"Don't be surprised, old Junjun. You must win the opinions of your parents in marriage. How can you act so hastily. My parents dare not disobey the orders of the Junjun. Why are you in a hurry?"

The old Jun Jun is used to being strong, in her opinion, Xin Shi Shi Niang is just a little vixen, and she should let her handle it.Who would have thought that he dared to lose her face and bargain with her, it was simply audacious.

She was about to put pressure on Xin Shi Shi Niang, but Feng Yunlin stood up, "Old Madam, thank you Madam for being a matchmaker, Xiaosheng is very grateful. But I also think that what Miss Si Si Niang said makes sense. Marriage should not be a big deal. I don't want to wrong the girl by doing so hastily, so I ask the old lady not to be angry."

"It's not over yet, and you are facing her like this, it seems that I have become a villain." Feng Yunlin pleaded, and the old Junjun calmed down and pretended to be angry.

"How come, you are my great benefactor, Yunlin will remember your kindness forever."

"Since you said so, then that's all." The old Junjun looked at Xin Shishiniang again, "In that case, then go back and explain to your parents. I know you have a high spirit, but girl, you are a smart Girl, she will definitely not do anything to disappoint me."

Xin Shishiniang knew that she was beating herself, so she shouldn't have any wrong thoughts, her heart sank, and she bowed slightly, "Yes."

The old Junjun plucked a golden flower from Xin Shisiniang's head and handed it to Feng Yunlin as a token.He asked him to go back to check the good days and tell her when he came here again, so he ordered someone to send Xin Shishiniang away first, and then dragged Feng Yunlin to talk for a while.

When dawn broke, the old Junjun reluctantly ordered someone to send Feng Yunlin away.Feng Yunlin happily walked home on a little donkey, and when he looked back inadvertently, his hands and feet felt cold.

Behind him, where is there any big house, it is obviously just a few tombs.He knew in his heart that he had probably encountered a ghost, and maybe that ghost was really his relative.He was courageous in the first place, so he simply walked back when he had a guess in his heart.

Looking at the name on the tombstone, Feng Yunlin suddenly realized that he knew who the old Junjun was.He originally thought that the old lady was a relative from his mother's side, but he didn't expect it to be.

This is the cemetery of Xue Shangshu and his family. Xue Shangshu is his grandma's younger brother. His wife was ordered by the imperial court to be the king of the county when she was alive, so the old county king called him a nephew.

However, his grandma died before Feng Yunlin was born, and it seemed that the Xue family had some conflicts with his grandfather, so the relatives there had already been cut off.Feng Yunlin only heard a few words from his grandfather when he was alive, and had never seen them before, so he never expected to see her now.

It seems that the ancestors didn't want to see that I was too lonely, so I specially showed up to solve life's major issues for myself.As for the fourteenth girl, maybe she is not a human being, otherwise how could she be so familiar with the old Junjun, but since she is the wife of the elders who personally matchmaker, it must be a marriage destined by heaven.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunlin immediately knelt down and bowed towards the grave.Thank you ancestors for your protection. When he returns home, he will definitely buy joss sticks and paper flowers to formally pay his respects.

Before Xin Shiniang arrived at the ruined temple, her maid Xueer came up to meet her, took her hand and said nervously, "Why did you come back for so long, the old woman didn't make things difficult for you, did she?"

Xin Shishi Niang forced a smile, "Xue'er, I seem to be in trouble."

"what happened?"

Xin Shishiniang did not hide anything, and told Xueer what happened to her.

"This old hag, you shouldn't have stopped me yesterday. If I followed you, I would tear that old hag's mouth to pieces. She didn't even look at her nephew with wide eyes, and wanted you to marry him, Why didn't she go to heaven!" Xue'er said angrily.

"I didn't agree on the spot. I just held her back temporarily. I should discuss this matter with my parents." Xin Shishiniang said.

"What are you discussing? I'm going to kill that scholar named Feng right now, and let his ghost keep company with that old hag!"

"No, Xue'er, you can't commit murder anymore. Besides, behind Feng Sheng is the old Junjun, and the husband of the old Junjun is the envoy of the five capitals, a person whom the five ghost emperors dare not easily offend. We can't offend him .”

The envoy of the five capitals is a relatively high-ranking priest in the underworld.The so-called five capitals refer to the five ghost capitals in the underworld, Taozhi Capital, Sizhong Capital, Luofeng Capital, Luofu Capital, and Baodu Capital.These five ghost capitals are the five cities with the greatest influence and influence in the underworld, and they are governed by the five ghost emperors respectively, and the patrol envoys of the five capitals are the bosses of the five ghost emperors.

Although the position of the patrol envoy of the five capitals belongs to the underworld, in fact, at the beginning, it was an official position created by the heavens.The purpose of the heavens is very clear, that is to control the five ghost capitals.

It's not easy to be an official, the five great ghost emperors are very powerful, although the King of Hades gave the heavenly interface and let them place people in the underworld, the five ghost emperors are not willing to obey the discipline.The underworld doesn't take care of the affairs of the five capitals. You, an official from the heavens, why do you care about the affairs of our five capitals.

Of course, Hades still has to give face. Although they won't object publicly, they can do whatever they want in private.All the patrol envoys of the five capitals appointed by the heavens, no matter how powerful their mana is or how high their prestige is, none of them survived more than a month after taking office.

There was no other way, the heaven had no choice but to give up meddling in the local government affairs of the underworld, and concentrate on being a demon in the underworld, and the five-du patrol envoy was also appointed by the underworld.However, the underworld appointed many officials, but unfortunately the five ghost emperors still didn't buy it, and the tour envoy of the five capitals became the most frequently replaced official position in the underworld.

The current patrol envoy of the five capitals is surnamed Xue, and when he was in the world, he was an official to the second rank of Shangshu. He has extremely high prestige and is especially good at being an official.The underworld then appointed him as the new patrol envoy of the five capitals, and became the superior of the five ghost emperors.It can only be said that this official is very experienced. Others will die inexplicably within a few days after becoming this official. There is nothing left.

Master Xue, as the envoy of Wudu, spent much more time in Wudu than at his own home.One person attains enlightenment and ascends to heaven. Because he is a priest, his family members do not have to go to reincarnation, and they can enjoy happiness with him safely.

The bones of Mr. Xue's family were buried in Ning'an County. Due to the chaos in Wudu, Mr. Xue did not dare to place his family there, so he did not move.In order to make the family live comfortably, Mr. Xue also asked the underworld for grace, and all the ghost foxes with a radius of hundreds of miles were used by him as servants.That's why Xin Shishiniang didn't dare to contradict the old Jun Jun. After all, their family is still living in the territory controlled by Mr. Xue.

"Then what should I do? I can't really let you marry that scholar. I won't let you marry someone else. I cultivated immortality for you. If you marry someone else, I'll go back and continue to be a devil, killing people and setting fire to you." " Xueer hugged Xin Shishiniang's waist, as if she was acting like a baby.

Xin Shishiniang's complexion changed drastically, "How dare you!"

"Hmm, cultivating demons is much more comfortable than cultivating immortals. Since you have led me into the righteous way, you can't abandon me halfway, otherwise I will definitely end up in the dark on the evil way, and you must be reluctant to let me be struck to death by heavenly lightning. "Xue'er lowered her head, licked the corner of her mouth, and threatened nakedly.

"No." Xin Shishiniang reached out and touched her head, "Let me go back and discuss with my parents, and then I can think of a way."

"What good way can you do, want to escape? I'm afraid that the old witch is ordering people to guard against it, and you can't escape."

Xin Shishi Niang pursed her lips, but did not speak.

"Well, when the time comes, I'll take on your appearance and marry you. Anyway, the scholar has a mortal body, so I'm sorry he won't find out..."

"Stop talking." Xin Shishiniang hugged her and pressed her head against her chest, "I won't allow you to humiliate yourself like this for me, it's not worth it."

"For you, I don't mind."

"I mind!" Xin Shishi Niang insisted.

Xue'er's gaze softened, and she patted Xin Shishiniang on the back.Suddenly, she heard a sound, her expression changed instantly, she turned to look at the broken wall in the temple, "Who is it, come out!"

Huang Jiulang looked at the dead branches under his feet in annoyance, and walked out dejectedly, "Hello, sisters."

"Xiao Jiu, why did you eavesdrop on our conversation?" Xin Shishiniang let go of Xue'er, and frowned at Huang Jiulang.

"That..." Huang Jiulang was very guilty. He actually wanted to hear gossip, but he really didn't care about things like corners, so he tried to change the subject, "Well, Miss Fourteen, if you have any difficulties, You can go and ask my master. He is the city god, and all affairs in Ning'an County are under his control. If you don't want to marry, no one can force you."

"Xiao Jiu, you're new here and don't know the situation here, do you know who the five capitals' patrol envoys are?" Xin Shishiniang asked.

Huang Jiulang knew that there was a way to turn the story, so he said, "Although I don't know who the five capitals are, but my master can definitely control him."

"Oh, why?"

"Because my master is not only the city god, but also the prince of the underworld!" Huang Jiulang said proudly.
