When Yun Qing returned to the mansion, she was just in time for lunch, because she didn't know the cause, and the delicious meals in the past were no longer appetizing. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info simply had lunch, then returned to the small study in the attic, picked up the pen and was about to practice calligraphy, suddenly a faint fragrance wafted into the room, some familiar and some strange.

"Yilan!"|Yun Qing whispered to Yilan who was waiting outside in the house.

"What's wrong with the girl?" Ylang came in with a tent.

"What flowers are blooming in the yard? So sweet? Yun Qing walked to the back window and reached out to open the window.

"It's Rose!" Yilan walked over, took the stand, and supported the window opened by Yun Qing, it rained for a while in the morning, so it was not hot today, and there was a light breeze blowing, and the fragrance of flowers filled the room.

Yun Qing looked around, didn't see it, looked down, and found that a cluster of roses was in the corner of the attic, leaning on a fence, climbing on the rockery on the side, among the layers of petals, there were buzzing bees drilling in and out, butterflies flying around leisurely, like a faint gouache painting, sunny and warm. Yun Qing was stunned for a while, turned around, and walked back to the desk to practice calligraphy.

As soon as I picked up my pen and wrote two big characters, panicked footsteps sounded outside the door.

"Girl, girl, it's not good!" It was Tingyou, I saw her running in with a pale face, shouting as she ran.

Yun Qingxiu's eyebrows furrowed slightly, a little displeased, put down the brush, and waited for her to come in.

"Girl!" Ting You entered the room, and the hand that was about to lift the gauze tent paused, the quiet atmosphere of the study instantly quieted her, her face turned a little whiter, she took two steps back, bent her knees stiffly, and stammered: "Auntie...... Mother, girl forgive sins, slave maid ......"

"Say, what's wrong?"

Yun Qing's elegant voice in the past was a little impatient, Ting You heard it, and she was even more frightened, her memory, the girl had never been so impatient with her own people, thinking like this, she couldn't help but plop down on her knees, her heart was anxious, and her speech returned to her former cleverness: "Girl, the slave knows that she is wrong, and she will not dare to be so reckless next time, it is true, Xing'er, who was fine yesterday, suddenly died today." ”

Hearing the word death, Yun Qing subconsciously clenched his fist, then stretched out, helped the armrest of the mahogany chair, played with the smooth armrest, and said lightly: "Xing'er? Which apricot? ”

It's no wonder that she can't tell the difference, in addition to Yilan Yulan, the maids of Qingyuan are waiting by her side, and there are four second-class maids Ting You, Ting Fan, Ting Yuan, and Ting Zhi, and then there are eight third-class little maids, in addition to Mama Gao, Mama Zhuang Two personal mammies, and three rough mothers-in-law.

As the only concubine of the Guogong Mansion, Yun Qing's food, clothing, housing and transportation are naturally the best, these maids, although Yun Qing is right on the face, but when it comes to the name, she will not be able to deal with people for a while. And this apricot is one of the third-class maids.

"It's the apricot who often weeds and sprinkles the garden, and she's very thin." Yilan reminded on the side, and then asked Ting You curiously, "Wasn't it okay yesterday?" Why did you die? ”

Yilan remembered that yesterday she saw Apricot fiddling with flowers and plants in the garden, and although she looked a little pale, she didn't look like a dying person.

"Let's get up first." Yun Qing glanced at Ting You, who was kneeling on the ground, and said lightly, she didn't like the people around her kneeling to her more and more, especially the girls who treated her sincerely.

"Miss Xie," Ting You saw that Yun Qing's voice softened, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and stood up.

"There are no outsiders, just rub it when it hurts, look at your crooked posture, I feel uncomfortable looking at it, and the girl won't eat you." If it weren't for Xing'er's business, it is estimated that Yilan would have laughed out loud, but he still made a joke, mainly because Yilan and Xing'er are not familiar with each other. In the two years before leaving Kyoto, Xing'er and the other three rough maids kept Qingyuan and were responsible for the daily cleaning, and over time, they became a little more rusty.

After her beating like this, the tense atmosphere just now was a little relieved, and Ting You didn't care if she could see it or not, and glanced at Yilan through the cyan gauze. didn't endure it, relaxed, rubbed his knees and said, "Don't say it's you, I didn't just say that I saw her as a normal person last night." ”

After a pause, he blessed Yun Qing, and said two words mysteriously: "Haunted." ”

"Haunted?" A hint of coldness flashed in Yun Qing's eyes, the ghost theory is pure nonsense, every time this rumor comes out, someone must be manipulating it behind it!

"What did the girl think?" Yilan saw Yun Qing frowning and thinking deeply, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he leaned over with a lift in his spirit.

Yun Qing glanced at her, she didn't even know the specific rumors of haunting, where did she come from? didn't bother to pay attention to her, turned his head to Ting You and said, "Let's talk about how it's spread below." ”

Ting You nodded, blinked his eyes, looked at the roof, sorted out his thoughts before replying: "Actually, the slave maid also overheard it yesterday, the slave maid sorted out the clothes yesterday, thinking that the jade pendant that the girl gave to the slave maid a few days ago was missing, and the slave maid remembered that she was still wearing it the day before yesterday, and the last memory was to go to the small garden to go to the toilet and come back, and she accidentally wrapped the flower branches, so remember it clearly...... The slave maid found that the jade pendant was missing, so she naturally wanted to look for it over there, because the slave and maid kept looking down, and there were flowers and plants to cover it, and the two of Xing'er and Hongyu behind the rockery did not find the slave and maid. ”

After a pause, Ting You's face seemed to turn a little paler, and her voice that had just calmed down also trembled a little: "The slave maid heard, Xing'er said to Hongyu in a low voice, she said, the locust tree is also called the ghost tree, easy to pass the spirit, the ghost door opened on July 14, that night she unintentionally collided with the ghosts who went back to the sun to visit relatives and friends, so, the ghost door was in chaos, it was not completely closed, these ghosts would first take her life, and then, and then the uncontrolled ghosts would come to the yang world, revenge, and complain......

"So, she's dead today?" Yun Qing sneered, stood up, and through the wide open window, her eyes fell on the old locust tree, the sun shining after the rain, and the small leaves hanging with raindrops glowing with a crystal luster.

The ghost she said, Xie Yunqing, is a real ghost reborn, and there is revenge? Revenge? Scold! Yun Qing sneered, she wanted to see who the ghost was!

"Girl, last night, the slave and maid also seemed to see ghosts!" Ting You suddenly spoke, interrupting Yun Qing's contemplation.

Yun Qing raised her eyebrows, she was a little interested, thinking that it was a good clue, Chong Tingyou nodded, and motioned for her to continue.

"Last night, the slave maid got up at night, passed by the small garden and saw a figure in white under the old locust tree, although the slave maid was startled, but still mustered up the courage to ask who it was, the figure in white did not move, but the slave maid saw a black shadow in a trance did not enter the flowers, and there was no sound, and the figure in white was an apricot! When the slave saw that she was fine, the slave asked about the dark shadow, and she only said that it was a cat...... The slave maid, the slave and the maid were angry, but she came out three times and twice to be scary, and let her go to the firewood room to keep vigil. ”

"Has the news of Apricot's death gotten out?" Yun Qing suddenly asked.

"No, only the slave and Ting Zhi know at this time, Ting Zhi usually gives them tasks, and I haven't seen her today, I happened to meet the slave and maid, and the slave and maid thought about it, although I thought it wouldn't be anymore, but I still took her to the firewood room to see, I didn't expect her to be there," Ting You swallowed her saliva, and then said: "But she didn't move, and the slaves and maids didn't respond when they called her, and when she got closer, she found that her body was stiff......"
