Chapter 597: The Art of Witchcraft
It is worthy of being the courtyard used by the Guogong Mansion to entertain guests, the ancient Taoist woman has a slight glance when she comes in, although the courtyard is small, the scenery is scattered, and the flowers and trees are sparse. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Now the furnishings of this room, the mahogany furniture, and even the table legs are covered with copper. The plum bottles on the shelves over there are worth a lot of money at a glance when they are soft and luster. The bedding on the bed was fine silk satin, embroidered with warbler patterns with silver thread, a fabric she had never seen before, let alone used.
In the state city, she had only seen such a room in a large family, and only a lady of noble status was worthy of using it. Here, however, it is only used to entertain temporary guests.
Gu Daopo looked out the window and confirmed that there was no one before lying on the bed, relaxing her limbs, and feeling the smooth touch of silk satin with her cheeks, which was extremely comfortable.
At this moment, her heart is proud. She didn't expect that the dignified Duchess would be as easy to deceive as the village woman. It's just a small skill of carving insects, and she has won her trust, so that the big move she prepared has not had time to show.
A smile crept up her cheek. Before she came, she deliberately inquired about the affairs of the Chung Kook Mansion, including those old things from many years ago.
Why did the Zhongguo Mansion find her to enter the mansion at this time, didn't he just marry his concubine's daughter-in-law not long ago? After a little thought, he guessed that the Chen family was dissatisfied with this newly married daughter-in-law, and invited her to come to deal with her on purpose.
She has her own channels of information, which is the foundation of her life. Because of this, it can deter the Chen family. In fact, she didn't know when Xu Wanzhen woke up, and her news was not yet well-informed to such an extent, only that Xu Wanzhen showed up in Baicaowei on the second day of marriage.
It's just that this doesn't bother her, just use a little trick in your words, and then look at your words.
The "immediately" of "wake up immediately" is quite particular, waking up that night is immediate, and waking up the next day is also immediate, depending on what the listener thinks.
After the smugness, she was a little annoyed. Two thousand taels of silver, the Duchess agreed to her without even blinking an eye, she knew she should ask for more. But it doesn't matter, as long as the other party enters the hub, she has more ways to make her spit out the silver again.
took out the five hundred taels of silver tickets and looked at them again and again, and Gu Dao Po was overjoyed. This trip can be regarded as the right one, if she is lucky in the state city, she will have to work hard for more than half a year to earn five hundred taels, where is it as easy as now!
She made up her mind in her heart, after this order was done, she would not go back, and she would go home to enjoy her happiness after making a few good fortunes. The capital is so big, and there are many rich ladies.
……
Qingluo came back from outside the courtyard, she had just heard something that made her feel a little apprehensive. looked up at the gilt plaque on a black background hanging above the courtyard gate, and the three big characters "Zhiyuanju" on it gave her the strength to settle down.
This plaque was only done yesterday and hung up, and the second son's handwriting is really good, which makes people feel at ease when they see it. Qingluo thought so in her heart and entered the courtyard.
A little maid who had just kept her head came to meet her, and Qingluo asked her about the whereabouts of the second young lady and headed towards the piano room.
Xu Wanzhen had just finished playing a song, and she placed her affection between the music and made her forget herself. The sound of the piano lingers in the room for a long time.
As soon as Sang Zi raised her eyes, she saw Qingluo at the door, and asked her with her eyes: "Is there something wrong?" Qingluo nodded.
"Second young lady, Qingluo is here, Xu has something to do. ”
"That's all for today. Xu Wanzhen stood up, was served by Sang Zi to clean her hands, and then applied balm to let Qingluo in.
Qingluo curtsied: "Second young lady, the maid heard a strange thing outside, and she felt uneasy. ”
"Tell me. ”
"Mother He didn't know where to ask a Taoist woman to go back to the house, and she only went to see her in the afternoon, and she had already stayed in the house. Say yes, and get rid of some evil. Good manners, where is there any evil in our house?"
Xu Wan really listened, but she was not surprised.
Chen's this is forcibly stuffing people, and he has begun to superstitious about such charlatans. Although she didn't know what methods she had, she had seen the mysterious young man, so she didn't believe that this kind of person really had any magic power, but he just knew some tricks to cheat money.
It's always good to be careful, though.
"Sang Zi, please come to Mama Zheng. I have this matter in my mind, Qingluo has done a good job, and I will reward double the monthly case next month, in our yard, don't talk about it. ”
Xu Wanzhen's calm expression made Qingluo feel a lot more relieved, and thanked her and retreated.
After the tea, Mama Zheng came to Xu Wanzhen: "Second young lady, are you looking for me?"
"Qingluo heard the news that the Chen family invited a Taoist woman, according to my estimate, it should be for me. ”
Mama Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "The second young lady should not underestimate these Taoist women. The old body knows a thing or two, although they don't know any Taoism, but most of them know some witchcraft and spells, and make a living from it, specializing in cheating money in the back house. ”
Mama Zheng's words made Xu Wan really stunned, which was a little different from her previous judgment. Fortunately, Mama Zheng was by her side to mention something, otherwise she wouldn't know what was going on.
Since this is the case, it is necessary to pay attention to this matter, Xu Wanzhen asked: "Mama knows, what is the way to prevent witchcraft spells?"
"This old body doesn't know. Witchcraft were banned, especially in the palace, and if discovered, it was immediately a capital offense. This shows how terrible this spell is. However, if you want to cast a spell, you must need some catalysts, such as the second young lady's birthday, intimate clothing, and the like. ”
The more Xu Wanzhen listened, the more shocked she became, there was still such a spell among the people?
"Isn't that it, to see who is not pleasing to the eye, who can be killed by witch spells?"
Mama Zheng shook her head: "It doesn't have such great power, and it's mostly useless to men with strong blood." At most, it can make the woman hallucinate, or fall into a coma for a period of time, etc., as long as the timing is right, certain goals can be achieved. ”
"Comatose?"
In a flash of light, Xu Wan really knew what the Chen family wanted to do. She wanted to stuff Fan Qianqian into Zhiyuanju, but after she resolutely refused, she came up with this method, wanting to put her eyesore into a coma again, so she happened to place someone next to Wu Zhengxiang.
It's just that she has only woken up for less than ten days, and if she falls into a coma again, I'm afraid that everyone who cares about her will fall into a panic. According to Wu Zhengxiang's character, he will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. When he found out that it was Chen's doing, he didn't know what he would do.
Chen pretended to be smart, but she didn't know the serious consequences of this incident, if she released the dark beast hidden deep in his heart, Chen's life would definitely be lost, even if it was Wu Sheng, he couldn't save her. Since then, there has been a gap between the two brothers, and Wu Zhengxiang may slide farther and farther towards the dark abyss.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened Xu Wanzhen became.
