one person is right

Chapter 10
After a while.

Zhang Ju wiped the cold sweat on his head, let out a long sigh of relief, excused himself to watch the tea making, and left the guest room to breathe, and then heaved a long sigh.

He watched "Painted Skin", which was different from the other three.

The other three looked at the words, the mood, and the story. Zhang Ye did the same at the beginning, but when he looked back, he saw the evil ghost painting the skin, and for some reason, he suddenly thought of himself.

Tao Jing said that it was beautiful and seductive, but Zhang Ju saw it, but it was a piece of painting covering his body, and what was hidden under it was ulterior motives, as if to imply that he wanted to take advantage of the power of the Nankang Palace, so he used his cousin to cover up. As close as you are, so you are in shock, how can you still have the heart to talk to others?

If it wasn't for the fear of people seeing the clues, it would have come out just now.

Now that he is standing outside the house, the pressure is slightly reduced, and in a trance, a few lines of words in "Painted Skin" flow through his mind, and gradually, his body is a little cold.

So Zhang Ju rubbed his hands together and came back to his senses, just in time to hear the call of his friends in the room.

When he returned to the house, the three friends were still chatting with great interest, and when they saw him coming back, they immediately pulled him to plan together, thinking, if they could see the prince, how to make friends with him. , to ask Vince.

Zhang Ju responded with a smile on the surface, but he was worried. After all, it was difficult for him to be wholehearted. Even at the dinner party, he was a little bit nervous.

After dinner, Zhu Li saw that it was not early, so he talked about his wife's instructions, got up and said goodbye, and the other two got up as well.
"I asked the three of them to come here because I asked them to inquire about the news, but I forgot!" This thought made me annoyed, but it was not good for people to come again, and I just wanted to find a chance to ask tomorrow.

After returning to the room and sitting down, Zhang Ju unconsciously remembered the "Painted Skin", and asked people to bring the article and look left and right until late at night.

In Jiankang City, there are not a few people like him.

Just as Zhu Li said, "Painted Skin" involves the myth of gods and monsters.

"The text on the skin is really interesting. The Marquis of Linru County is an interesting person. Why didn't he know about it in the past?"

"Today, the tea shop is going to talk about painting skin. If you are interested, you can come and listen."

"What is painted skin?"

"You don't know? Just to tell you, you certainly can't think of who this is from..."

"What? Marquis of Linru County?"

……

After another two days, the article is already known in half the city.

Among them, the servants of the Hou family ran back and forth to help fuel the flames, and there was also a situation where Chen Cuo took the money to open the way. Seeing that the momentum was gradually picking up, he personally found the wine shop and teahouse, negotiated with it, and let it promote it.

In addition, the article is taken from a handed down book, and its quality is excellent. After going back and forth, it has really gained momentum in a few days!And the more it burns, the more prosperous it is!

Even around this Hou's Mansion, there are gradually more figures, wandering uncertainly, I don't know if it is because of the text, or there are other thoughts.

However, although Chen Cuo's Hou's Mansion is located in a corner of Jiankang City, the two sides of Qingxi River are not for ordinary people to live in. Even if it is only a remote corner, for ordinary people, it is also the residence of powerful people, not everyone can live. Those who are close, the city's garrison and inspections are often looked after.

Therefore, those figures will soon be driven away.

But there are exceptions.

It is the monk and the Tao.

The monks and Taoists had a rather detached status in the Southern Dynasty, and it became more and more so after Emperor Wu of Liang.

Therefore, after the guards patrolling the streets drove away a few idlers, he turned his head and saw two more Taoist priests on the street corner. Make trouble.

After all, although the Marquis of Linru County is not well-known, his elder brother is an extraordinary person, so it must be observed.

Fortunately, the two Taoist priests looked at the Hou Mansion for a few moments, then turned to leave, letting the surrounding guards breathe a sigh of relief, and soon, the guards also left one after another.

As a result, as soon as they left, the two Taoists came back.

"This place is strictly guarded, and it is the capital of the Southern Dynasty. There is a five-element formation. The Marquis of Linru County is a royal clan, with a true dragon bloodline and a purple qi covering his body, so it is not easy to detect."

The speaker was a young Taoist priest, and the one next to him was a young man.

The young Taoist priest said with a smile: "That "Painted Skin" is brilliant in writing, and it echoes the way of people's hearts. Come out? There must be a reason for it! You and I are here to find the reincarnated immortal, and naturally you can't miss this prince."

The young Taoist nodded: "Brother is saying that the master of this mansion is a half-hearted Taoist from the line of King Nankang, who has heard of it and has settled the mind. He has already paid a visit a few days ago, but he doesn't live here, so we can't take it lightly. "

The young Taoist nodded: "And don't let him take the lead, or else you'll lose the chance!"

While speaking, the two looked at the Hou Mansion again.

The young Taoist said with emotion: "People are full of thoughts, the foundation of Taoism has been formed, the root has always been solidified, and it is wandering around, as long as it is swallowed, it is at least the first step of success, that is, directly stepping on the second step of seeking the Tao, it is not unreasonable possible!"

------

"Have you heard of the second and third sons? The article by our Marquis is now spread throughout Jiankang and everyone is talking about it!"

Early in the morning on the fifth day, the servants of the Hou Mansion gathered together, and before they did any work, they discussed it first, and they were all amazed.

A few days ago, Chen Cuo found them and asked everyone to distribute articles. They didn't want to disobey, but they didn't take it for granted. He thought it was this Marquis's whimsical. Who would have thought that once it was spread, it would actually cause a sensation!
"What are you talking about! The Lord's business is something you can talk about! Go, go! What to do!"

Just before he said a few words, he was dispersed by the manager Chen Hai and went to work separately.

As soon as the people left, Chen Hai thought to himself: "It's really gaining momentum. Could it be that this monarch in our family is a shrewd man? This is not good!" Thinking about it, sweat dripped from his forehead, and he became more and more uneasy.

With the rising trend of painting skins, Chen Hai was first suspicious, then surprised, and finally regretted.

Knowing that the Lord has such ability, an article is actually similar to that of the talented Lu family, why does he disobey and contradict?It's too late for such a character to be effective!
"I have to change my mind!" He gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Before, the prince hated me for waiting, but I can't say it's still an opportunity, just seize the opportunity to show loyalty!"

Thinking about it, he looked up and saw a dejected figure not far away, he couldn't help sneering, thinking that he was not the worst.

In front, it is the aster.

The head of the female envoy did not stay beside Chen Cuo as usual, but walked with her maid and carrying a fruit plate-Chen Cuo was entertaining friends in the front yard.

Arriving in the front hall, Aster ordered the arrangement to be in good order, but she just glanced at Chen Cuo from time to time, and when she saw that the latter did not look at her, she felt panic and regret in her heart.

A female envoy like her was the confidant of the old lady. She also learned words and characters since she was a child, and liked to read the text. Therefore, after reading "Painted Skin", she was struck by lightning.

Originally, Aster Ju knew a little bit of Junhou's thoughts towards her, but she had some thoughts and did not obey, even under the old lady's order, she did not lie.

Unexpectedly, the monarch was furious a few days ago, and after he reprimanded him, he was no longer close.

Afterwards, Aster looked at the painted skin again, and felt that the evil ghost in the beautiful painting skin seemed to mirror herself, panicked, regretful, and more sad, just hoped that the monarch's anger would disappear, and he could be as usual.

But a few days later, Chen Cuo became more and more indifferent, which made Aster feel more tormented.

The more she suffered, the more she couldn't help thinking about the ghost painting, the more uneasy, shaken, and regretful thoughts, like a poisonous snake, devoured her mind.

Slowly, the words in the article seemed to come alive, swimming in her heart. These two days, sometimes, when she was doing things, the words seemed to float in front of her eyes, becoming more and more dazzling.

When Chen sent off his friend by mistake, he went straight back to the study without looking at Aster.

Aster clenched her fists, her body trembled slightly, her face was pale, and the shadow under her feet quickly twisted.

However, no one noticed.

Chen Cuo planned to strike while the iron was hot.

After some weighing in Mengze that day, Chen Cuo started with a short story of Liaozhai, and wanted to knock on the door of fame.

Now, "Painted Skin" is popular in half the city, and he has confidence.

"Painted skins can be popular, indicating that the book is not fake, but it is too vague and difficult to measure. Today is the last day. The way to be safe is to launch a new one, go further, and lay the foundation!"

For the choice of the second article, he also had a draft.

But before he finished writing, Chen Hai suddenly came in in a hurry, saying that he had something important to report.

"What's the matter?" Chen Cuo frowned, making no secret of his disgust.

When Chen Hai saw it, he became more and more regretful, but even more respectful, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I just got an urgent report, the palace was thieves, and the box containing the pills was stolen!"

"What?" Chen Cuo stood up suddenly.
