Chapter 324 [Continued] Haunted House

As soon as he saw the man, for some reason, a strange feeling arose in Cui Yunhao's heart, but he couldn't say anything strange at all. However, he instinctively felt a little repulsive and displeased with this life.

This feeling surprised Cui Yunhao himself. He has always been introverted. Except for Yingying, he always maintains a very calm and indifferent attitude. This is the first time that such a vague dislike has appeared.

He glanced at the prince, but showed nothing, and lowered his eyes slightly.

At this time, Emperor Yongtai, who was above the hall, spoke, "Cui Yunhao, I have read your articles and have done a good job."

Cui Yunhao immediately said respectfully: "I am afraid."

Emperor Yongtai laughed and looked very kind, saying, "What's the fear of this? You are the new top scholar in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and you are so young, which shows that you work hard on your daily life and need to be rewarded."

Cui Yunhao knelt down again and said, "Thank you for your grace."

...

It was not until the afternoon when someone came to announce the imperial edict, Cui Yunhao learned that Emperor Yongtai had given him a house.

After thanking him, when he saw the location of the house, Mr. Cai and Cai Jinghong were silent. Cui Yunhao saw that their faces were wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"

The old man said: "I've been a little thirsty all the way."

The tea shed guy had already prepared a clean table and asked them to sit down. He smiled and asked, "How many people want to drink some tea?"

Later, Emperor Yongtai ascended the throne and rewarded it to a cabinet minister. Unexpectedly, the cabinet minister was dismissed from his post for bribery not long after. Emperor Yongtai rewarded the officials who investigated the cabinet minister, saying that he had made contributions.

The boy said, "Then let's stop and rest for a while."

But Mr. Cai didn't say anything. If it were before, Cui Yunhao was the hottest new top scorer, and I don't know how many people wanted to win him over. However, Emperor Yongtai's reward was the agility of the old foxes who were welcomed in the officialdom.

, I guess I will stop and choose to wait and see.

As he said, he reached out and patted the shaft of the carriage and said to the driver: "Luck, stop by the tea shed. Let's have a cup of tea, and you can drink it too, so we'll invite you."

The weather gradually became hotter at the end of April. Although there is no sun in the sky now, it is still hot, it is the kind of dull heat.

The guy was sharp-eyed and hurriedly went up to him and shouted, "Several guests, I have worked hard to get on the road, but I have to drink a few cups of tea in the small shop to quench my thirst?"

Chu Yingying and Dr. Fu were heading to Chizhou. It took about seven or eight days to leave Jingde and arrived in Qingyang County. They happened to meet a caravan along the way, so they followed them.

Thinking of this, Mr. Cai sighed in his heart.

"Okay," the guy answered at the top of his voice: "You wait!"

Therefore, every time the emperor gave a reward, many people were worried, afraid of giving them this house that could kill people and kill their official careers.

Mr. Cai twitched his lips and said, "You probably don't know that this house has some...famous reputation."

When the tea came, the boy said to the old man: "Old Mr. Fu, according to what you said before, calculate the time, we should be here, right?"

The teahouse guy smiled and said, "So many of you are going to Chizhou City?"

Some people even privately said that the emperor would reward the house whoever he wanted to do. Finally, he went around and took the house back to the palace.

In short, anyone who rewards this house will be unlucky. The lightest ones are dismissed from office and exiled, and the worst ones are not protected. So the name of a haunted house gradually spread.

Near Chizhou, there are small shops and tea sheds on the roadside, which are specially designed for caravans and pedestrians to rest.

A tea-cooker who was resting next to him spoke, "This means it's going to rain, man, add tea."

After hearing this, the coachman naturally didn't want to do so. He drove the car to stop by the side of the road. The boy jumped down from the car first, then helped the old man down and walked towards the tea shed.

Mr. Cai was in a very complicated mood. After he talked about the origin of the house, everyone's mood became even more complicated. Cai Jinghong couldn't help looking at his father and said, "Dad, you said..."

Mr. Cai then sighed and said the reason.

The ox cart approached. Except for the driver of the ox cart, there were two people sitting behind it, one old and one young, with all their hair and beards white. They were about fifty years old, and the few were young, with only seventeen.

Eight years old, wearing a green gauze gown, was very handsome. The two of them were talking, and when they heard the shout, they turned their heads one after another.

They had a lot of twists and turns along the way. They first walked, but later they took a ride in a caravan. After walking for seven or eight days, they rented a carriage, and later they changed it to the ox cart in front of them.

It's not hard.

Chizhou is located in the center of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Bai Songjiang passes by here, so there are many caravans and fleets here.

The man in the teahouse brought the copper pot over and added tea to him, and said with a smile: "You are right. Seeing that the peach blossom flood has passed, the seedlings in the fields have all risen. It's time to rain."

Mr. Cai shook his head and signaled him not to speak. He just turned to Cui Yunhao and said, "Thunder and rain are all kindness, so you just think that you don't know this. You are the top scholar appointed by the emperor and have not been awarded an official position yet.

Nothing can fall on you, just keep a calm mind.”

Unexpectedly, within two years, the official committed another incident, confiscated his home and exiled him, and his house was rewarded again.

The fact that the leader Cui Yunhao won Yayuan had already been spread to Hangzhou City. The Lu family was very happy to receive the letter.

Mr. Cai was a little hesitant, as if he was considering whether he should say it. Seeing this, Cui Yunhao said, "I don't care if I say it."

However, Chu Yingying had been away from Hangzhou for nearly a month at this time, so naturally he didn't know the news.

Mr. Fu said: "Yes, it's almost done."

After waiting for three years and two years, Cui Yunhao has a new top scorer. He is definitely the one who is on the bench.

The tea shed guy put on his shoulder with a cloth towel, sighed, "Why did this ghost weather suddenly get hot? I haven't seen it so hot in previous years."

The boy replied, "Just get a few cups of coarse tea to quench your thirst."

The house is indeed a bit famous, but it is not good. This house was sold four times in total. Originally, the house was built by a prince during the time of the late emperor. Later, the prince rebelled and was suppressed and the house was taken back.

The palace is in the palace.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Yongtai actually rewarded this "haunted house" that everyone was afraid of, to Cui Yunhao, the new top student in the subject!

Just then, the teahouse guy came out of it and added tea to them. The carriage driver said silly: "You will be there after walking four miles. I have been to Chizhou and recognize the way."

Cui Yunhao nodded and said, "I understand."

He spoke implicitly, but Cui Yunhao and others were confused. Zeng Jingxian couldn't help but ask: "What's the fame? Could it be that some big man lived in?"

At this moment, an old ox cart slowly shook at the end of the road, with several people sitting in the carriage swaying towards the tea shed.

The two old and the young set out from Jixi to Chizhou, Chu Yingying and Mr. Fu.

Chu Yingying continued: "That's right."

The teahouse guy said, "Then you have to hurry up. I look at the weather and it will rain heavily in the afternoon. You have to hurry up and go into the city."

Chu Yingying thanked him, and Dr. Fu said, "When I enter the city, I will go to find my friend first and talk to him."

Chu Yingying nodded: "Okay."
Chapter completed!
