Chapter 13: Exorcism
When Xu Qian heard this, his face turned pale, but he just looked at Xu Rong stupidly, and only after a long time did he speak: "Rong'er, don't listen to those gossips, my father has never believed those words that pretend to be gods, but all along, my father can't accept the fact that your mother is thrown away as a father like this, and the fact that your father is separated from yin and yang from now on......" Speaking of this, there was a bit of a blockage between the words. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Why doesn't Dong Xiaoyou know? Now that she is alone in this life, I am afraid that my relatives and friends for more than 20 years will never see each other again, isn't it also separated by yin and yang? She looked at Xu Qian, who was in great pain in front of her, and thought to herself: It is said that ancient men did not cherish women, but she didn't expect that the old man in front of her, who had quite a lot of wealth, was also an infatuated person. Now that she is his daughter, how can you not respect him?
She sat up, snuggled in Xu Qian's arms, and cried: "Daddy, don't be sad, Rong'er knows that her father will never forget her mother in her heart, and her daughter is willing to accompany her father all the time." ”
Xu Qian's heart was very moved, he patted Xu Rong's little head lovingly, and said with a smile: "Silly daughter, Daddy knows that you are filial and well-behaved, but you are not young, and you will have to marry sooner or later, how can you always accompany Daddy?" ”
"Rong'er doesn't want to get married." Dong Xiaoyou really doesn't want to get married, or if she wants to marry, she can do it, but at least she has to like the man who will become his husband in the future. If it was an arranged marriage, then she was a hundred unwilling in her heart.
"Rong'er is well-behaved, a man marries a woman, and a great person. Daddy will do his best to choose the most suitable Ruyi Langjun for you over the years to ensure that you will not be wronged by him in the future. ”
Master Xu's words naturally moved Dong Xiaoyou, she was originally an orphan girl whose parents divorced and sent people under the fence, but now this Xu Qian is so caring, how can she not really recognize that her "father" is Xu Qian. She burst into tears, and hugged this "daddy" Xu Qian, Xu Qian's kind words of love comforted her a few words, and soon she fell asleep, so she told the maid to take care of her, and then left Meixiangyuan.
These days, Xu Rong and the maids in her spare time to visit the courtyard, or play the jade zheng, or read books, originally placed in her room a few books such as "The Female Ring", "Shangshu", "Analects", "Book of Songs", etc., although they feel boring, but there is no other way. Mrs. Wang, Zou, and Murong also came to see her a few times, because Dong Xiaoyou knew how to be knowledgeable and courteous, and didn't like to talk much, the Wang family from the wealthy family liked her more and more, and came to Meixiangyuan to sit in two days in three days, or cheer for her homely cooking, or listen to her play a song, Dong Xiaoyou also gradually liked the Wang family, who was generous and benevolent in appearance, and had the demeanor of an elder. However, although the Murong clan treated her as always, Dong Xiaoyou always felt that "Murong Mother" seemed to have some distance from him now, and he didn't know if it was his change that scared the Murong family, or the change in his identity that made Murong Shi's attitude towards him change a little. And the Zou family has always been unkind to Xu Rong, but there are no other turmoil, Dong Xiaoyou also goes with her, out of sight and out of mind.
It didn't take long for the whole house to know that the fourth lady Xu Rong is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has both talent and learning, and the jade zither she plays is exquisite and fascinating. They are all called "talented women", and the four maids in Meixiangyuan are more and more loyal to Xu Rong, just because Dong Xiaoyou is a modern person, and he gets along with several sisters on weekdays, and there is no young lady's shelf, which makes them feel more cordial.
Master Xu Qian often came to Meixiangyuan, always smiled and closed his eyes to listen to Xu Rong playing the jade zheng, and often sighed: "I have such a daughter, it is really a blessing in life." He somewhat felt that perhaps Xu Rong's change was the arrangement of the Chen family in the dark.
Soon a month passed, Xu Rong drank some herbs for days to recuperate, and he did not eat less tonics, his face gradually became ruddy, and he looked more and more beautiful like a spring peach, delicate and moving. Wang secretly discussed with Xu Qian to choose a husband for her, Wang said: "Rong'er is so beautiful now, and she has both talent and quality, don't say that the big family in Youzhou is a relative of the emperor, and Rong'er is also worthy of it." Rong'er is so young now, and her husband's family can choose slowly. Xu Qian agreed, and was carefully selected by the Wang family.
Xu Qian because of business, recuperating at home for more than a month, then had to go out to operate, after the Xu family said goodbye, the house fell silent again, because Xu Ban was going to the school, Dong Xiaoyou had to spend all day with a few maids, in addition to playing the kite and reciting books, but also planted some flowers and plants in the Meixiang Garden, chatting to relieve boredom. In the days when she first arrived in ancient times, Dong Xiaoyou still had many inconveniences in her life, but now she is slowly getting used to it, but she is bored in the house every day, and she is not in a very good mood, and "The Female Ring" also makes her read very popularly, but I didn't expect this book to be written by Ban Zhao, which especially emphasized: "Don't peep into the outer wall, don't go out of the outer court", and she also wants her to "sing five more chickens and wear clothes", which makes her speechless. Come on, if you really follow this, don't say that you have to be stuffy at home every day to make textiles, and you can't even eat and drink at family dinners, it's just the "Prison Code". But Dong Xiaoyou still silently followed some of the content of "The Female Ring", such as: endure and whisper, speak softly, etc., she doesn't need to say that she understands it in the book. Since it is in ancient times, the female red naturally has to learn, she has embroidered cross-stitch before, but now she has to embroider, fortunately, she is also good at this, and there are four maids to accompany her, and soon she will be able to embroider a little way.
On this day, just after the fifth watch, she got up early (because there was no TV and computer at night, she went to bed early every day, so she didn't have the habit of lying in bed), and after washing, she stroked it lightly, and then followed Biluo and Yi'er to the outside of the house, fetched some water, and gently watered the newly planted flowers and plants. But seeing the voices of people floating outside the hospital, and more than a dozen family members seemed to be surrounding Meixiangyuan, Dong Xiaoyou was suspicious: Master Xu is gone, who would dare to make a mistake in the house?
But I saw Wang Fat, who had always cherished himself outside the door, hurriedly ran in and said: "Fourth Miss, Mrs. Zou said that you complain about ghosts, and today I specially invited a Taoist priest to come, saying that she wanted to come to Meixiang Garden to exorcise ghosts, and also instructed Liu Si and them to surround Meixiang Garden and not let you go out of the garden." ”
Dong Xiaoyou listened, her face changed, and she said in her heart that this Mrs. Zou is unreasonable, Xu Rong's biological mother Chen's matter, she still didn't care about her, today she dares to take advantage of her father's absence? She asked Biluo to find Steward Chen, Yi'er to go to Murong and Mrs. Wang's side, and then let Ye'er and Mei'er stay in the outer hall, and went back to the boudoir by herself, and made up her mind in her heart, she would definitely make this Zou family ugly today!
It didn't take long for the Zou family to enter the boudoir with an old man, Ye Er and Mei Er couldn't stop it, and because Dong Xiaoyou had instructed them just now: "If Mrs. Zou insists on breaking in, forget it, but you two must be outside the door, only let Mrs. Zou and the Taoist priest come in, and don't let anyone else step into my room half a step before Steward Chen and several other ladies and young masters come." So the two let Mrs. Zou and the Taoist priest enter the door, and she two guarded the door, and the rest of the family, maids, and grandmothers were waiting in the garden.
Dong Xiaoyou saw that the Zou family entered his bedroom with an old man in a green shirt, with a calm face, just sitting on the mahogany circle chair on the side of the collapse, gently brushing his drooping hair, and asked, "What does Aunt Zou mean today?" You actually brought a man from outside the house into my boudoir? If I let my subordinates spread it, will not I tarnish my reputation? She spoke leisurely and sneered, looking rather strange.
Zou Shi's face turned pale with fright, and he said to the old man: "Master, please look, this woman must be possessed by a resentful spirit?" At the same time, he said to Xu Rong: "Rong'er, you must have been infected with evil things, Aunt Zou will drive away the ghosts for you today." ”
The old man looked at Xu Rong carefully, his expression was extremely serious, and he said: "The woman is originally a feminine body, and she is very easy to be possessed by resentful ghosts.
Dong Xiaoyou naturally doesn't believe in evil, and secretly disdains this kind of "Maoshan old way" that can only be deceived and abducted, and now there are only three people in the room, which just suits her heart, so she got up from the chair leisurely, smiling like a flower, but with a hint of coldness, she said faintly: "Sister, you killed me back then, and now you want me to be gone?" Because this voice was deliberately pretended by Dong Xiaoyou, it was extremely deep and terrifying.
Zou Shi trembled with fright, and she trembled and said to Lao Dao: "Master, she ...... She's out! Surrender this wicked demon! ”
The old man was also in a cold sweat when he saw it, he was a charlatan, how could he really know about exorcism and demon reduction? But seeing that the girl must have been possessed by a resentful ghost before seeing it, she sacrificed a few heavenly master talismans, and pulled out the "sword" on her waist, and said in her mouth: "Please invite 100,000 generals and officers of the five emperors of the five directions to descend, and the lord will work together for a certain family to collect the ghosts of the guests in the house in the middle of the village."
The ghost of corpse torture and killing ......", and then the few Heavenly Master talismans flew out and threw them on Xu Rong's body.
Xu Rong just sneered and said sharply: "Sister, give me back my life!" Give me my life! Her eyes were wide open, her expression was unusually cold, and her face was fair and delicate, she really looked like a female ghost.
Zou was so frightened that he hid behind Lao Dao, and kept saying: "Sister, don't look for me, I didn't hurt you!" I didn't hurt you! Then he said viciously to the Taoist priest: "Master, you still haven't descended this ghost?" ”
The Taoist priest was a little frightened, and hurriedly poured a bowl of water on the side to Xu Rong, and said: "Taishang pardon order, super your soul, ghosts and ghosts, four lives are ......" This bowl of water was splashed on Xu Rong, wetting her hair and clothes, a strange smile appeared on the corner of Xu Rong's mouth, she still looked like a ghost, but at this time she pretended to be extremely painful, and shouted: "Don't splash me with water!" ”
Seeing that it seemed to be effective, the Taoist priest and the Zou family were proud, and it turned out that the resentful ghost was afraid of Qing Shui. So he poured all the water in the bucket on Xu Rong, and immediately made a mess in the house, Xu Rong's body was also wet with water, seeing that the goal was basically achieved, Dong Xiaoyou had a mysterious expression, and said to Zou: "Don't you think you can get rid of me, tonight, I will come to your room to find you for your life!" These words frightened Zou Shi into a cold sweat.
At this time, the Wang family, the Murong family, the eldest brother Xu Fu, the fourth brother Xu Ban and Steward Chen and others all arrived, Ye Er and Mei Er hurriedly took them into Xu Rong's boudoir, only to see that Xu Rong was splashed with water by the Zou family and this old man, her dress was soaked, her hair was wet, her face was still covered with water droplets, and her eyes were full of tears - Dong Xiaoyou had already changed her aggrieved and helpless expression when she saw everyone coming in.
Dong Xiaoyou raised his head, looked at everyone, and cried and said: "Mrs. Wang, Murong's mother save me, early this morning, Aunt Zou broke into my boudoir with this old Taoist priest, insisted that I was a ghost, splashed this bucket of water on me, and said that I would let my soul fly away." ”
Seeing this scene, everyone angrily scolded Zou for being unreasonable, but Zou was aggrieved but couldn't argue. Xu Ban pulled out his sword and was about to kill this old way, but was quickly stopped by everyone, and Steward Chen called the family to beat this old way out of Xu's mansion.
Looking at Xu Rong's pitiful appearance soaked all over, Murong felt distressed, and hurriedly said, "Good Rong'er, your body has not yet healed, don't catch a cold, you have to wipe your body dry." ”
So Wang and Murong drove out the men in the boudoir and the Zou family, took a hair handkerchief to dry her body, and ordered the maids to get their clothes to change.
Xu Ban and the others were guarding the outer hall, he was so angry that he threw his sword to the ground and said to the Zou family: "Auntie! Why are you bullying my little sister so much today! If we hadn't arrived, if the liar hurt my little sister, what would you do if my father came back and found out? ”
After saying this, Zou was also frightened, in fact, she told Wang early in the morning that she wanted to ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts, but Wang was reluctant later, she was angry in her heart, and she wanted to drive away demons and evil spirits for the house, in order to show that she was really taking care of this Xu Mansion with her heart, but she didn't expect it to be self-defeating today.
Xu Fu, the eldest son of the Xu Mansion born to the Zou family, saw Xu Ban outgoing against his mother, but he was speechless, but said angrily: "The words of demons and ghosts are some nonsense!" Mother, what you did today is too stupid! With that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away in a huff. Zou wanted to invite a Taoist priest, and he also told him, just because he was busy with the affairs of the county the day before yesterday, he just thought that his mother said it casually, so he didn't take it to heart, but he didn't expect his mother to act indiscriminately without consulting him again, offending Xu Rong, who is now the most favored by Master Xu Qian, which made him very angry. Seeing that Xu Fu was gone, Zou was panicked and suddenly a little short of breath, so he was helped back to the courtyard by two maids.
Steward Chen comforted Xu Ban and said: "Fortunately, I just splashed a bucket of water on Miss Four, although Miss Four is still taking medicine, her body has never been weak, and it is not a big problem." The fourth prince is not in a hurry. ”
Xu Ban listened, but nodded blankly, he just saw Xu Rong's delicate appearance with pear blossoms and rain, and suddenly thought that he didn't have to go to the school today, but he didn't come to find the fourth sister earlier, which made her feel wronged, and she felt very resentful for a while.
In the boudoir, everyone quickly dried Xu Rong's body, changed into a clean dress, and Biluo brought her a bowl of ginger soup, although she still pretended to be frightened on the outside, she said proudly in her heart: "Aunt Zou, the matter is not over, people are scary, scared to death, even if I Dong Xiaoyou don't scare you to death, I will make you out of your body." ”
