Chapter 69: Gu Worm
The curtain on the bed is a lake-blue plain satin, the texture is rough, and when the window is opened, people can blow a cold wind when they lie in the bed tent. There is a thick and hard quilt on the bed in the tent, the cotton is old and hard, and it is hard and cold to cover the body, and it can only be warmed for a long time.
The Ru kiln celadon amphora on the black lacquer bookshelf does not know when it was replaced with a fancy flower and bird vase, with uneven glaze and scattered brushwork, without the slightest elegance.
The copper furnace is still the enamel color copper furnace before, but the charcoal in it is no longer the silver frost charcoal with less smoke and burning, but an ordinary charcoal fire that chokes people when it is lit. If you don't open the window, your eyebrows and eyes will be sour, and if you open the window, you will shiver from the cold. Sui Ping simply asked someone to extinguish the stove and add an extra coat, and the mother-in-law who guarded the door muttered: "Girl Jingui, I can't choke on this cigarette, but it's hard for us!
The other maids and daughters-in-law complained accordingly.
Duan's mother entered the house at this time.
Sui Ping's eyes were dumbfounded, and I didn't know if I was sad to hear the complaints outside - after all, the fifth girl Sui Ping was in the yard, and it was a bit of a means to gather people, and now she looked like she was almost losing her face, thinking that she was just a teenage girl, with a thin face.
Duan's mother looked around the room and hid the smile on her lips. In the backyards of these deep houses, these silent and torturous methods are always unthinkable - especially Miss Jiao, who has been pampered since childhood, wants to take Qiao, and she is really tender.
This is just a change of tent, a change of charcoal fire - the second lady is kind enough, she has not yet buttoned her thick clothes, changed the fancy and soft looking beautiful material to make the jacket, changed the old cotton mixed with catkins to make the lining, looks bright but does not gather a little heat, and then wears two or three more clothes just to look good, not warm at all.
Although it is not possible to freeze people to death, it can also freeze out a disease that is not big or small -- if it is cured, it is the mother's care; if it is not cured, there are many people who are dying, and other people's mouths are just a sentence of "blessing."
After all, she's still a concubine.
Sui Pingtie blushed with a face, frowned and looked at Duan's mother who came over, holding a wooden tray in his hand, covered with a handkerchief, flat and flat, like a letter.
"Five girls, the private seal is stamped on this post. ”
Duan's mother's tone is very flat, there is no love, but Sui Ping feels yin and yang for no reason.
"What is this?"
Sui Ping stared at the handkerchief on the tray, and his heart couldn't help but jump suddenly--the letter that needed her to be stamped with a private seal was the family who wanted to give her a trumped-up crime like this, and privately accept and accuse her of evil
A chill swished up his spine and swished over his head.
Unexpectedly, Duan's mother laughed lightly, shook her head and said, "It's just to ask the girl to invite Miss Pei's family to come over and talk about it, and the next post - what is the girl afraid of?" ”
After hearing this, Sui Ping's heart settled down, and after thinking about it, he understood the reason, and couldn't help but secretly ask: "How can you be so kind and let Sister Pei Yan come to see me?"
The girl said cautiously. Duan's mother suddenly became cold, and Sui Ping couldn't help but be a little stunned. After a while, he shook his head slightly--no matter how much Duan's mother has a face, she is also a subordinate in the house; even if she is unsatisfactory, she is the master after all!
Thinking like this, Liang Qi's back straightened, and when he looked at Duan's mother's eyes, he was not as timid as Fang Cai.
Everything is said, it's a big deal that the fish dies and the net is broken, she didn't end well, and she pulled Huizhi into the water, which can be regarded as a full explanation over there, Shen Guifei's family has hands and eyes to the sky, saved her life, and changed her face, it should also be done.
Duan's mother secretly observed her in her heart, and she didn't let her mouth go at all, and said all the words that Wang said: "Miss think about it yourself, is this the truth?"
It is to marry a big family far away from the capital, compete for favor with the concubines in the room, fight the mother-in-law and fight the sister-in-law, and there are also three aunts and six mothers-in-law in the middle.
"The girl still has to think about Aunt Li's life and death. Duan's mother quietly turned her head to Aunt Li, and sure enough, Sui Ping had anger in her eyes, "Aunt did such a thing, how could I have the face to intercede for her!"
He pursed his lips again, turned his head to Duan's mother, and said, "Whether it is the Li family, the Bai family, or the Sun family, I will not marry! Not to mention any person surnamed Cheng! If you want to abuse me, you also have to see if I am willing to listen to you--when Sister Pei Yan comes tomorrow, how can you control my mouth? As soon as tomorrow passes, you will regret that you didn't have a good life to beg me today!"
Sui Ping said a lot of words in one breath, anger and resentment made her hold it in her chest, after speaking, her chest kept rising and falling, and she was about to reach out to drink a cup of herbal tea, but she saw a small black insect-like thing, which was exposed from Duan's mother's cuffs, and the oily carapace, densely packed with thin legs, crawled into the cup along Duan's mother's fingers.
Duan's mother looked as usual, bowed down and picked up the cup that crawled into the insect and handed it over: "Girl, please use tea." ”
"What's this?!" Sui Ping stiffened in horror.
"Hold the heart Gu. Duan's mother smiled kindly, the tea in her hand was closer, and the three words came out, but it was like a demon.
Mrs. Wang's mother, the housekeeper, why, how could she look like this?! It's like a warlock in the book, a martial god
"Holding the heart Gu? what is that?" Sui Ping tightened his teeth and pretended to be indifferent to ask, but he was still afraid in his heart, Gu worm, that was a Gu worm! Although she didn't know what kind of worm it was, it was not a good thing after all! She had overheard the older grandmothers say that some tribes in the south specialized in catching poisonous snakes and poisonous scorpions to raise Gu, and some women would also play Gu on their husbands, if they changed their minds, they would be eaten by Gu worms, and they would be in pain, and their death would be miserable.
"A kind of Gu insect in Miao Jiang, it will become transparent when it enters the water, and the idler can't find it at all, and when he drinks it, it can erode people's minds in three hours, and let the Gu people manipulate their behavior. ”
Sui Ping stiffened with fright.
Duan's mother then spoke: "This is not a poison - poisons still have antidotes, but once the Gu enters the body, it is really difficult to force it out, and it is really difficult to find a master outside the world, but it is a pity that the old slave is not proficient in learning the arts, he can only make Gu and Gu, and will not force Gu worms to come out, although it is quite beneficial to come in, I don't know if it can succeed." Since the girl doesn't want what Madame said, why don't you let the old slave try it-Catch Ming'er and wait for the eldest girl of the Pei family to come over and see the fifth girl, there is nothing wrong, the old slave will try it to see if he can get rid of the Gu worms in the girl's body?"
Sui Ping was almost delirious with fright, and his slender fingers pointed to the wooden shelf behind the large bookcase, and his fingertips pointed directly to a small black lacquer box, "The private seal is inside." ”
The voice of the voice was also trembling, Duan's mother took out the seal and stamped it, and asked again: "Madame told the old slave to ask again, is the girl willing to marry to the Sun family, or to marry the person surnamed Cheng? Just let the girl say a few words tomorrow, the future of the surname Cheng is in the hands of the girl, whether to stay in the capital, or send Yanbei and Liangguang from afar, but it all depends on what the girl wants to say when she sees Miss Pei tomorrow." ”
Sui Ping nodded his head, but couldn't say anything.
