Chapter 8: The Shadow (2)

The kind young lady helped her sit on the stone chair, and invited her to eat seven bowls of rice in a row, and Changsheng felt that his strength was back. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info She first reported her name, thinking that if she hadn't gotten these bowls of rice, she would have fainted in the compound, so she asked the name of the benefactor again.

The maid smiled, "You live in the Yang family's house, but you don't even know the master, this is my young lady." ”

Yang Yingsleeve smiled at Changsheng and said, "I can't see that your small appetite is so good." ”

Changsheng scratched her head, she didn't know that her meal would be so large, she used to be hungry for two meals out of three meals, and she tightened her belt and worked with the same strength. But after the baptism of abalone ginseng wings, her appetite seemed to have a steady stream of potential stimulated, and she really couldn't eat less.

Yang Yingsleeve has a beautiful appearance, and her voice is also sven and delicate, and she has the elegant posture that everyone should have in the first lady of the scholarly family. "I don't think I've seen you before?"

The maid sighed and grabbed the words, "In the past few days, the master has invited a few friends to the mansion as guests, and this little girl thinks that she should come with those guests." ”

Changsheng said, "I lived in with my son-in-law Xi Zixu, and I lived in that room. She pointed out to Yang Yingsleeve that the originally vacant wings were now inhabited.

Yang Yingsleeve said strangely, "There are guests in the house, why don't I know?" Still living in my yard. ”

The maid said, "Miss has been feeling unwell for the past few days, and the master told us not to disturb Miss to rest, so I didn't tell Miss." Those guests are happy to be quiet, and the most quiet place in the entire Yang Mansion is here, and the lord will arrange for them to stay. Miss rest assured, the master has already greeted those guests, and he won't make any noise. ”

Yang Yingsleeve said, "I'm not afraid that they will quarrel with me, but since I am my father's guest, I should also go and see Yu Li." ”

The maid smiled, "They are all friends of the master, and they don't care about that little bit of courtesy." She pushed Gu Changsheng, although Gu Changsheng was not smart, she could also feel that the maid seemed to want her to echo her.

Changsheng asked, "Miss Yang, are you unwell?" She also took a closer look and found that Yang Ying's appearance was not very good, a child from a poor family like her had not had enough to eat before she developed a skinny and thin figure, but this Miss Yang family was born rich and noble, she should be a small big fish and big meat, but she was thinner than her maid.

Yang Yingsleeve stroked her forehead, "It should be that I was not good when I was infected with the wind and cold before, and I often felt dizzy all day long." ”

The maid reached out and rubbed both temples for Yang Yingsleeve, "The doctor has instructed, the young lady is not well, she must take medicine on time and pay attention to rest." The slave and maid said don't come out, but you don't listen. ”

Yang Yingsleeve looked at Mu Hibiscus not far away, "I've been sleeping in the room for a long time, and I want to come out to see those flowers." ”

Gu Changsheng remembered that the manager said that because Miss Yang likes wood hibiscus, there are so many wood hibiscus flowers of different colors in this yard to add color, "The flowers are very beautiful, and you can still smell the fragrance of flowers when you sleep at night, which is very comfortable, but shouldn't the branches and leaves be pruned?" She thought that the few times she had been in and out of the hibiscus flower path, she had tripped over the extended branches.

Yang Yingsleeve showed a very gentle smile, the smile seemed to be the deep affection that Tian Bao involuntarily brought when he talked to her about Zhang Quan, "I promised the jade book to wait for him to come back and enjoy the flowers together." So the more lush the flowers, the better. ”

Changsheng wanted to ask who this jade book was, but she and the young lady of the Yang family had only met for the first time, so it was not easy to ask too carefully. Thinking of the big commotion caused by herself this night, this Yang girl said that she also lived in this courtyard. She apologized, "Miss Yang has rested after two nights of noise." ”

"What?" Yang Yingsleeve was puzzled.

The chief of the road because she made a lot of noise for two nights in a row, and the manager Yang was alarmed to mediate, and the courtyard was not big, so the noise should be very clear. Why doesn't this Miss Yang seem to know, is she not clear? "Last Night......

The maid interrupted, "Miss, it's time to go back and drink the medicine." ”

Yang Yingsleeve said, "But I still want to sit for a while." ”

The maid bowed her head and said, "If you don't drink the medicine on time, the master will know that the slave is useless, and he will punish the slave and the maid." ”

Yang Yingsleeve was sympathetic to her subordinates, and she didn't want to be a maid, so she agreed to go back to the room. The maid helped Yang Yingsleeve to get up, Yang Yingsleeve glanced at Changsheng, I don't know if it was because she often went in and out of the hibiscus flower path to get food for Xi Zi, and there was a strong fragrance of flowers on her body.

Yang Yingsleeve liked it very much, and also felt very comfortable chatting with her, so she smiled and asked, "Do you like to eat pastries, I will ask the cook to make crystal cakes tomorrow, do you want to come to me to try it." ”

Gu Changsheng wanted to nod and agree, but thinking that he was Xi Zixu's maid now, and he couldn't do anything, and he didn't know if he would continue to punish her tomorrow, "I have to go back and ask the young master." ”

"It's okay, come over if you have time." Yang Yingsleeve pointed to the room covered with yellow talismans, and couldn't help but make Changsheng stunned.

Yang Yingsleeve thought that Changsheng was timid, and said with a smile, "Isn't it a little scary?" I didn't want people to post those things outside the house. But my father said that I was too old to commit a crime this year, and these yellow charms can be dissolved. It will be torn off in a few days. ”

Changsheng didn't know what those yellow talismans were used for, and whenever he saw the black and thin handwriting on the talismans, it was like geckos on the wall and didn't want to go, he felt furious in his heart. Now listening to Yang Yingsleeve's explanation, there is a sudden realization that it was so.

Yang Ying's sleeves left with lotus steps, even walking was like a breeze swinging willows, delicate and good-looking, Gu Changsheng couldn't help but envy her appearance and posture was so generous and decent, and he, a little girl from the countryside, didn't know when she could look as good as Yang Yingsleeves when she walked.

She gambled on the tenacity in her bones, and stood until the Taoist priest came to set up a formation and cast spells, and drove her back to the room because she was in the way and afraid that she would continue to make trouble.

When Xi Zixu saw her come back, he looked at her blushing face with half sarcasm, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be really stubborn, it won't be your stepfather who taught you." ”

Gu Changsheng still said, "I didn't lie. "She hasn't lied and deceived people when she's grown up, and she hasn't been before and won't be in the future.

Xi Zixu said, "If it's really a country girl, her brain won't turn." I guess even if you see a rock in front of you, you'll hit it straight up. Since you have followed me out, you can be regarded as seeing the market, and you should learn what it means to open your eyes and talk nonsense. ”

Gu Changsheng said categorically, "I don't want to learn this. "Since people can live well without lying, it means that this is a useless thing. She didn't want to tell lies to others, because she was afraid that one day if there were too many lies, others would respond to her with falsehoods.

Xi Zixu asked, "Are those bowls of rice delicious?" Don't you ask me if I will let you go eat crystal cake tomorrow? ”

When Changsheng heard this, he felt that he was not doing things fairly, "You not only peek but also eavesdrop." ”

Xi Zixu said, "If you don't want me to 'peek', next time remember to find a dead corner and then gobble up your things." It's not just me, I'm afraid that the whole yard will 'peek' at what you have done and 'eavesdrop' at what you have said. ”

Gu Changsheng pursed his lips and wanted to open the window, but he knew that he was so hot that he subconsciously retracted his hand when he touched the window frame, and Xi Zixu said, "Have you forgotten what I said to that stinky Taoist priest last night, I said that you are not allowed to open the window." ”

Changsheng worried, "What if that shadow reappears?" ”

"That's none of your business. You were scolded for lying, and it was a small thing to be kicked out. I won't allow you to open the window, and if you still fight against me, then it's a big deal. ”

Gu Changsheng looked at him for a while, and finally succumbed to the naked serious warning in his eyes, it was the instinct of weak animals to avoid evil, even if she knew that this would make people look down on her, but her legs just didn't listen to the command, and instinctively stayed away from the window, she couldn't help it.

Xi Zixuan was satisfied with her obedience, and moved his left and right shoulders, "My shoulders are sore, come and pinch me." ”

Gu Changsheng could only complain about his incompetence while going over to massage his shoulders. The monk next door and next door began to chant the scriptures again, and the wooden fish was beating very rhythmically, different from the crispness of the golden bell that shook non-stop in the hand of the Taoist chief, the voice was very rich and powerful, and it was a kind of peace of mind.

And she pinched Xi Zixu's shoulder, but her consciousness was gradually captured by the kind sound of the wooden fish, and her ears listened to the sound of the wooden fish, and her heart seemed to be following the beat, knock knock. It seemed to echo her heartbeat.

Just as she was engrossed in the peace, the candle in the room went out. Without any warning, next door to the next door, the sound of the monk's wooden fish, and the sound of chanting the scriptures were also gone.

The walls between the wings were not very thick, Changsheng heard the sound of turning over the cabinets next door, she passed by several times when she served Xi Zi three meals, and saw the girl next door from the window wiping her sword lovingly and putting it back in the box at the end of the bed.

Was the girl looking for her sword?

Changsheng thought to himself that it would rather come out of some sounds, such as listening to the monk continue to knock on the scriptures and chant the Buddha, it is better than this boundless silence, the senses of the whole body have to be concentrated around herself, at this moment, even if it is subtle, even if a piece of dust falls on her face, it will cause a kind of tension and trembling like being ambushed on all sides.

Xi Zixu said, "Did I tell you to stop, continue to pinch." ”

"Oh." Changsheng answered in a low voice, and had to continue her movements, but he felt that his fingers were a little stiff. Should she light a candle, she always feels that imagination in the dark can always add to it, for example, she now feels that something is approaching outside.

Although the window was closed, the thin layer of window paper could not block the penetration of the cold moonlight. So the window paper is translucent under the moonlight, and the shadow of anything falling on it will be very distinct.

Then, a huge shadow suddenly appeared on the window paper, so big that it almost filled the entire window paper. She didn't know if the Taoist priest outside had seen it, she only heard the sound of the golden bell shaking even more violently.

Changsheng didn't shout, I don't know if she lost her voice after being extremely nervous or if even she herself was so frightened that she forgot to shout this time.
