Chapter 779

Rourou finally chose the portrait of Zhong Kui painted by Yunchu and returned home. Although she didn't know if her poor aunt would agree, this portrait really expressed Zhong Kui's heroic charm.

Tomorrow, the prince's car will arrive in Chang'an, Yunchu ignored it, but drew another portrait of Zhong Kui, and prepared to send it to Tongban's house for engraving and color printing, to see if it can be used as a god in the town house.

Because of the vaccination, Yunchu couldn't go home recently. If he wanted to go home, at least he had to wait until Li Hong would not die after the vaccination, and only after his own babies were vaccinated.

It was immoral to use Li Hong as a test subject, but Yunchu didn't feel any guilt at all, just like the people of Chang'an took these corrupt officials as test subjects, just for peace of mind.

After all, this world belongs to Li Tang. After the cowpox came out, the Li family will benefit the most.

Yunchu naturally doesn't care whether the copper plate will be infected with acne. This guy is carving type with a carving knife at home all day long, and told him that type is poisonous. Smelting pewter to make more durable pewter type.

For a person who is exposed to lead poisoning all day, Luso is really nothing.

"Is this Zhong Kui?"

The copper plate was instantly recognizable.

"I don't know what the county magistrate is using Zhong Kui's portrait for?"

"Repel evil spirits, town house!"

"There are already Shen Tu, Yu Lei, and Yu Chi Gong and Qin Shu Bao, so there is no need to invite another Zhong Kui?"

"Shen Tu Yu Lei, Yu Chi Gong, Qin Shu Bao is the gatekeeper, this one is placed in the back house."

"Xianzun, this matter can't be done, no one is willing to invite an ugly ghost into the back house to worship."

"Zhong Kui is good at catching ghosts, you know that, right?"

"I have vaguely heard the story of him beheading ghosts in the Western Regions."

"That's it, your house is uneasy, there are always little ghosts making troubles, causing you to have nightmares from time to time, throwing some money inexplicably from time to time, and your wife will..."

Before Yunchu could finish speaking, Tongban hurriedly said, "Yes, yes!"

Yun Chu squinted at the copper plate and said, "Is it okay now?"

Tongban sighed and said, "It's a big deal, I'll invite the students of the Imperial Academy and the Four Schools to fabricate a story about Zhong Kui catching ghosts.

But, county venerable, you have to do something like ghosts in a big family first, then invite Zhong Kui to catch them, and then make this matter known to the whole city, and the villain will be easy to start. "

Yun Chu sighed and said, "Tell me about a female ghost I met before, her name is Nie Xiaoqian...

Zhong Kui yelled—Mummy Mommy coaxed him, his sword suddenly grew bigger, and finally turned into a huge sword with a length of ten feet, and he killed Grandma Shu..."

Tongban was delighted to hear the story, but he hesitated after hearing this and said: "This seems to be the Buddha's name of the Buddhist sect. It is not rigorous for a Taoist priest Zhong Kui to call it out."

"Do you still want to listen to the story?" Yun Chu was somewhat annoyed.

Tongban nodded quickly and said, "Listen, listen, listen."

Only then did Yunchu hold the teacup and continued: "So, I ran all the way towards the capital at high speed. One evening, when I passed a big willow tree, a scroll floated down from the willow tree. I opened the scroll right away, and only See a poem written on it..."

Yunchu coughed and sang softly: "Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, every year the blue silk is worried about the new year, and the moon shape only looks at each other, only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals!"

Yunchu's singing has always been good, plus the lyrics are good, Tongban couldn't help thinking that this ghost story might be true, but after seeing Yunchu's proud face, he immediately confirmed that this story was Yunchu's I'm talking nonsense, but the nonsense is the same as the truth.

Over the years, Copperplate has printed countless books, so it is natural to know that those books can sell for a lot of money, and those books will lose money as soon as they come out.

Although Yunchu was obviously talking nonsense, but even if it was nonsense, because Yunchu said it, there is still a market in Chang'an.

It seems that this time, Yunchu has officially entered the sea for the sake of his friend Zhong Kui's reputation, so that's good, there is no need for other honorable families, and it is reasonable to say that the Yun family is haunted.

"I took this order. However, the county gentleman said that you want to lengthen the industrial chain. The villain decided to make this story into a song and dance, and then sell it to Pingkangfang. What do you think?"

Yun Chu slapped Tongban on the shoulder and said, "Then I wish you a fortune."

After finishing speaking, he put down the tea bowl, rode a bay red horse and came to the door of the house.

Yu Xiurong took the children and stood inside the door, and sent housekeeper Liu to bring over a change of clothes. He wanted to speak but didn't dare, so he ran away quickly with the children.

Butler Liu is now in his fifties, and he is very indifferent to matters of life and death, but when he approached Yunchu, he still whispered: "Your Majesty, the old god said that cowpox is not transmitted to humans, but is it true?"

Yun Chu said impatiently, "Ask the old god."

Liu Yi said embarrassingly: "Isn't this to vaccinate the children in the family, for fear of making mistakes."

Yun Chu looked at Liu Yi coldly, making Liu Yi's head covered with sweat. Fortunately, he was still smart, and immediately said, "Take the children to vaccinate tomorrow."

Yun Chu snorted, and then spared this bastard who wanted the master to test the medicine for his family.

Because Wen Wen's family has a large population, the house is very big, more than three times larger than the mansion of ordinary officials, mainly because in the Wen family, there were three third-rank ministers back then, which made Wen's prominent status.

Although Wen Rou is only a fifth-rank official, but because he is the county magistrate of Chang'an County, the resources in his hands are far from those of an ordinary fourth-rank official. Even the rest of the Wen family, although there are high-ranking officials, in front of Wen Rou There was still not much room to speak.

That is to say, Ruan Rou doesn't like the position of the Wen clan's patriarch now, otherwise, there would be basically nothing to do with his brothers of the same generation.

It is not a good thing for a married daughter to return to her mother's house, although Wen doesn't care. The most important thing is that when the two little daughters grow up and get married, how to leave is a big problem.

Datang didn't care about women remarrying. On this point, the royal family set a good example. As long as any princess's husband died, marriages would be granted immediately. times, until the princess and a certain son-in-law live together forever.

Wen's is the same, her good girl has been wronged, so she will naturally have to take it back, otherwise it will be Wen's fault, and she can't protect her family. It's not good for the girl to stay at her mother's house, and it's easy to gossip.

The one who most wanted my aunt to remarry was my uncle. For this reason, my uncle asked my uncle to choose a lot of men for my aunt. Some of them were rejected by my aunt, and most of them were rejected by Gentle.

There is a famous man in Chang'an, there is no secret in Wenrou, many men who look dignified, in Wenrou's view, they are beasts in human skin, naturally they will not let this man who is basically the same age as him but a generation older than him My aunt fell into the fire pit.

Because there were so many rejections, many people who were rejected thought that Wen was insulting them, that she was just a remarried woman, and that she was so picky, it was really not human.

Uncle Wen Shou thought that this should be a good marriage when he heard Zhong Kui's gentle introduction, but after seeing the portrait drawn by Yun Chu, he was surprised and said: "You want to marry your aunt to such a head?" Devil?"

Gentle and silent, just looking at the uncle coldly, he has always disliked his uncle's hypocrisy.

Sure enough, Wen Shou couldn't bear to look at him, he threw the portrait to Rou Rou and said, "As long as your aunt is willing, I have nothing to say."

This sentence itself was within Gentle's expectations. The old god said yes, Yunchu will be the big matchmaker, and he will do his best to match. The Shaoqing of Dali Temple is going to be the bridesmaid. If the time is right, the crown prince will come to congratulate him in person. Such a ostentation, How could Zhong Kui just refuse because of his looks?

Others don't know Zhong Kui, but they only know that he is ugly and fierce, and killed countless people on the Liaodong battlefield.

But I forgot that Zhong Kui was originally No.1 in the Jinshi Department of the Tang Dynasty, and I forgot that he was a learned and intelligent person, and only a few people in Wenrou Yunchu knew how delicate and gentle Zhong Kui was under his rough appearance. a soul.

How could a man who gave his all as a dowry when his sister got married and was still crying with tears, be a good husband and father?

Rourou insisted that aunt is an extremely beautiful woman, regardless of appearance, Zhong Kui is definitely a good match for aunt.

In the past, Ruan wanted to match the two of them, but unfortunately, at that time, Zhong Kui was still a single-minded fool.

It's all right now, after going to Luoyang and being taught a lesson by countless people, I know that I can look down on the road, and it's time to welcome a happy life.

My aunt's name is Wen Ru, and she lives in a small courtyard in the back house. There are only two dowry maids in the family, an old woman, and two little girls from the Xue family. They always stay in the small courtyard on weekdays. Don't go out if there is no major event.

Gentle and familiar came to the aunt's residence, and saw that Wen Ru was embroidering, and two little ladies from the Xue family, one four years old and the other three years old, were obediently playing beside their mother.

Rourou directly showed Zhong Kui's portrait to Wen Ru and said, "I won't talk nonsense. I told you about this man before, and you should have asked about him. Now I will show you his appearance. The painting was drawn by Yunchu. , just like me.

Although you say that you have enough food and clothing at home and no one bullies you, it means that you have everything you need and no one bullies you.

If you want to really live the life you want, this is a great opportunity.

You can see him tomorrow, if you want, when you take your two children for vaccinations.

Let me tell you, there is nothing wrong with this guy other than being too ugly. "

Wen Ru took the scroll, slowly spread it out, looked at it carefully and said: "The appearance is good enough to avoid ghosts."

Seeing Aunt Wen Ru's smile, Rou Rou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "If it weren't for this layer of skin, it would be more than enough for a betrothed princess. You see, I always keep good things for our family."

Wen Ru is not a little lady, so she would not intentionally show any shyness in front of Wen Ruan, her partner who grew up with her.

Holding the portrait, he kept looking at it and said: "If you look carefully, you can still see that he is extraordinary. Yunchu is a good painter."

Gentle and impatient: "Give me an accurate word."

Wen Ru picked up the portrait to show to her two little girls, and pointed to Zhong Kui on the portrait and asked them: "May I let him be your Aye?"
