The north wind rustled the leaves, and the sky was gloomy.

Qiao's face was calm, his steps staggered, and he hurried over, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw a few girls paralyzed on the ground, Sister Yao'er's door was closed, only the window opened a thin slit, and she looked through the crack in the window, and her whole body stiffened.

Although it was daytime, it was very dark in the room.

The candlelight reflects a face.

"Ahhh

Meifang rolled her eyes in fright and passed out.

Brother Mao also trembled slightly, almost unable to stand.

The round face, the slender eyebrows, the cinnabar mole at the corner of the mouth, the newly changed longevity clothes, and the jade pendant hanging around the neck, Sister Yao personally gave it, this is clearly the pomegranate, the pomegranate that died at the door of the room and stopped for two days.

"Could it be that he is not dead?"

Qiao Shi said in a low voice.

She had heard that some people looked dead, but they were brought back to life after two days in a coffin, which may be rare, but not necessarily none.

But then she came back to her senses, and she trembled, because it couldn't be!

The brain burst, the body was stiff, and she couldn't live anymore, Qiao's wife, she shouldn't have seen the dead, she was afraid of bad luck, but for the sake of her daughter, she did it herself, she had seen the body of the pomegranate, or she stared at the burial herself.

"Sister Yao'er......"

Qiao Shi shouted in a low voice, and rushed forward, Mama Gao hugged her tightly, "Madam, if you go and if something happens, who else outside can really think about your sister, not as a last resort, you can't go in!" ”

When she thought about it, she said softly with a cold face: "Go to two people." Pick up Sister Yao for me. ”

The maids around were stunned for a moment, almost crying in fright, no one dared to be, even if they were loyal servants, they should also be weak at this time. Let them fight with people with knives, they can't dare for the sake of their masters, but who knows if knives are useful for ghosts!

There are a lot of family members here, and they are all cowardly.

After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and the old lady hurried in with a number of subordinates. The eldest lord also followed.

Just look at the old man's expression. 120,000 didn't want to come, so he said to his mother: "Mother, Sister Yao'er is a junior, how can He De work for you." My son still helps you go back to rest. Leave it to the next people. ”

The old lady was so angry that her head was dizzy - did she give birth to the wrong child when she gave birth? gave birth to a placenta by mistake, which was his own daughter or his daughter-in-law. I didn't see him in a hurry!

It's a mess outside.

Hongchen looked up twice, helped Luo Niang to walk over slowly, asked for two candles from the maid's hand, kicked open the door, lit all the wax, the room was finally bright, Sister Yao was lying on the bed, sweating profusely, she couldn't even speak, Pomegranate also sat on the bed, and took a square handkerchief to wipe her sweat.

Mama Gao hurriedly said: "Yes, Qiu Niang must not be afraid, she doesn't know the pomegranate, and she doesn't know the pomegranate's death, her heart is not weak and her breath is not short, the ghosts and gods are helpless, she will definitely be able to take her sister out, Mrs. Don't worry, don't worry." ”

Qiao Shi gritted his teeth and stared nervously.

Hongchen walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, reached out and grabbed Sister Yao'er's wrist and pulled her up, Sister Yao grabbed her arm and used a lot of force to sit down out of breath, not daring to get out of bed for a while, only holding the quilt and shrinking back.

The people outside were all in a hurry, and Qiao didn't dare to make a loud noise, so he just kept making eyes.

Hongchen didn't seem to know at all, sat down with Sister Yao'er, and didn't force her to go.

Pomegranate wept silently, with a sad face: "Why should Miss be afraid of me, although I am dead, the two of us are separated by yin and yang, but we will never harm you." ”

As soon as she spoke, she behaved the same as before.

Seeing this, the people outside calmed down a little, Qiao Shi walked a few steps forward nervously, and saw Sister Yao crying: "Why do you suffer, why do you suffer!" Who in the family doesn't know me, I have always obeyed the rules, my father listens to the wind is rain, others won't believe it, what are you making trouble! ”

She howled and cried, and she didn't even care if the pomegranate was a ghost, obviously wronged.

Hongchen patted her back again and again, and his eyes fell on Pomegranate, which was also ordinary and had no different color.

Qiao's heart was worried, and when he saw her like this out of the corner of his eye, he couldn't help but praise in his heart, this girl is good, has a good temperament, and has a steady atmosphere, as a concubine, it's a pity.

These thoughts are gone in a flash, and the most important thing is obviously to kiss the daughter.

Pomegranate also sighed: "I came this time, I really have something on my mind, if I don't tell Miss, it will be difficult to feel at ease even under Jiuquan...... Miss don't think that you hurt me, I hurt Miss is, that day, that is the day when the eldest master invited guests, the young master drank too much wine, mistakenly broke into the young lady's Qiluo Garden, and let the maid see it, so he had to send him out, but let him let him tear his clothes, it must be because of this that he attracted gossip and harmed Miss. ”

After saying this, Pomegranate whimpered and cried.

Sister Yao was also stunned for a long time.

"No wonder you've been sick for the past few days, and you're in a trance."

How important is the women's name, especially here is Jiangnan, no more than other places, the requirements for women are more demanding, pomegranate was torn by a foreign man, she may not be able to marry in this life, that is, she can get married, I don't know which family is broken, I am afraid that it is worse than not marrying.

Outside, Qiao's and they were all stunned, no one thought that there would be such a reason for the incident at the beginning.

The eldest man suddenly put on his face: "Hmph! Look at it, I'll just say that it's groundless, and what Yin Yin said is not bad at all. "Because he beat his daughter, he let his mother scold him for several days, and he is still not happy.

The old lady glanced at it, she was almost crying stupidly by her son, this bastard said nonsense, she was afraid that her daughter-in-law would suffocate her son to a pillow one night, but she listened to a little wind outside, and she didn't think about how to make her daughter angry, so she knew that she would make trouble.

In the house, Pomegranate cried: "Miss, I'll just go, just miss Miss, I don't know if everything is okay?" ”

“…… All good. ”

Sister Yao gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and smiled hard.

"And Brother Su Wen, Granny Hua, and my mother, my brother, are they all okay?"

"It's all good, it's all good." Sister Yao sighed. "Su Wen won the show, my mother also told your eldest brother about a family, that is, the Yulian next to the old lady, and when she is old, she wants to be released, and your eldest brother also likes it."

In fact, because Pomegranate's death was unknown, her mother blocked Pomegranate's family without a trace.

But even so, Pomegranate suddenly relaxed, and laughed: "In this way, the slave has no regrets." And so it went. ”

Sister Yao was uncomfortable all of a sudden. He said sadly: "Our master and servant, when you go, it will be the eternal secret of heaven and man, stay for a while." It's easy to talk. ”

Hongchen frowned.

Qiao's couldn't wait to rush in and plug his stupid girl's mouth. She wasn't too scared at the moment. After walking a few briskly steps, he reached the door, and stood under the stone steps, a little worried about blocking the way out. I couldn't let the pomegranate go again, and I hesitated for a while and didn't go up.

Pomegranate showed a pleased smile on her face, she is the son of the Lu family, she was selected to serve Miss since she was seven years old, and the relationship is naturally close, at this time she has a belly to say, so she simply told her to eat, drink, live and travel, very reluctant, for a long time, Pomegranate finally sighed and whispered: "I'm leaving, leaving!" ”

Sister Yao cried.

Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Pomegranate's body leaned forward, staring straight at Sister Yao'er, her eyes were dull, her face was originally good, but slowly the flesh and blood flowed, her head was deflated, the flesh was rotten, and the blue-green liquid was rolling out.

"Ahh

Sister Yao'er turned pale with fright, and shouted loudly, "Pomegranate, let's go, don't be nostalgic, go, go!" ”

The pomegranate was stunned, and when she lowered her head, she reached out to catch her, and Sister Yao screamed.

The master and servant outside were all discolored, Qiao Shi couldn't care about being scared anymore, and rushed into the door, seeing that the pomegranate was like a dry bone hand about to grab his daughter, and exclaimed loudly: "Sister Yao, run!" ”

Sister Yao is a young lady, and it is difficult to walk a few more steps on weekdays, so she panicked for a while, and stepped on the hem of her clothes and fell to the ground with a bang.

Qiao's almost fainted!

As soon as he was in a hurry, Hongchen hugged Sister Yao with one hand, protected her by his side, grabbed the bed sheet and wrapped the pomegranate, opened the cabinet and stuffed her into the cabinet, dragged her across the dresser to block the door, turned his head and said, "Madam, please let someone carry her to incineration." ”

She was calm and composed, patted Sister Yao'er on the back gently, and her words were gentle, and she calmed Qiao's at once, and Sister Yao also looked up at her in shock, biting her lip and not knowing what to do, everyone else looked at each other, and the old lady spoke for a long time, and a few small people trembled and carried the wardrobe.

"It burned right away." The old lady snapped.

Family members who want to come to Pomegranate won't care.

Hongchen helped Sister Yao sit down, checked her pulse, looked up and said, "Madam, my sister is frightened, let's ask a doctor to prescribe side medicine." ”

Qiao Shi nodded stunned.

All kinds of chaos, the old lady looked at the sky, the sun was rising high, and she was busy looking for a doctor, not only Sister Yao, but everyone else also looked at it.

It was not easy for everyone to calm down, and the old lady called Hongchen to her side, with a rare look of kindness.

"This is Qiu Niang, she is really good-looking, good character, thanks to you today, if it weren't for you, your sister would be really dangerous."

When the old lady thought of today's incident, she really had palpitations, "Hey, that pomegranate was good at the beginning, why did it suddenly change its appearance, it was a loyal servant, and Sister Yao was the best." ”

Hongchen said with a smile: "There was a similar thing in Nanchang County back then, a scholar friend died violently, but he came to visit him at night, and talked until dawn, and his friend suddenly refused to leave, and he had a seizure, chasing him and fleeing in embarrassment, and he escaped by luck. ”

"In fact, it's not that it's changed, but people are divided into three souls and seven spirits, the soul is good and the soul is evil, the soul is stupid, the pomegranate first comes, and the spirit is not extinguished, the spirit is attached to the soul, so that she can still walk, and when she is in her heart, the soul naturally disperses, but the spirit stays in the body, the soul of the person is still there, then her people, whether good or evil, always have the spirit, only the spirit is there, it is the walking dead, there are occasional rumors of moving corpses between the market, most of the spirit is caused by staying in the body."

The old lady was stunned: "Qiu Niang is really well-informed. ”

Hongchen pursed his lips and said with a smile: "But I read a lot of idle books." ”

Having said that, the old lady couldn't help but value her a little more, unlike at the beginning, when the air was ignored, as she thought at first.

The Lu family has three rooms, even the big house is full of children and daughters, and the other two rooms are not short of sons.

Sister Yao'er's health is not bad, she is not particularly sick and weak, she has been cultivating for a few days, and she may have seen a pomegranate. The mood calmed down, and then recovered health, this day after snow, the whole yard was dyed with frost, the group went to the old lady to say goodbye, the old lady said to Qiao's: "Qiu Niang has been to our house for two days, and the children have not seen it, so it is better to set up a small banquet in the warm pavilion today, so that the juniors are lively." ”

Qiao Shi thought about it and responded, but she didn't want to see Hongchen. She is also a mother-in-law. After taking her over, she should take responsibility, and let everyone know her, and now she has a good impression of Hongchen. At least it's not worse than the concubines who are raised by your side. Because she saved Sister Yao. I can't say that it will be a little better, so I naturally agreed happily at this time.

"The academy is out of class, let Brother Jun and them all come. Sister Yao is well from her illness, so she also invites her classmates from the girls' school to come and get together. ”

The old lady winked.

Qiao nodded clearly, this is to let Sister Yao be gracious, it seems that the old lady thinks that Qiu Niang can be edified, and plans to let their sisters get closer to each other, and they will have more help in the future.

It is not easy to have a daughter in the world, and many sisters are also excellent.

The old lady asked to hold a small banquet, but in fact, the children who often come and go to other people's houses on weekdays have to arrive, there are a lot of people, Jiangnan here is more important than the capital of men and women, that is, the Lu family's side, the old lady was a Beijing official when he was there, and the daughters were sent to study for women's school, and it was not taboo for the children to feast and drink jokes on weekdays, as long as they were not alone and privately together.

It is also common for the Lu family to hold banquets here, and it is very easy to prepare, and they will be ready in the afternoon, and the guests will also come by car.

Hongchen also saw the handsome brother who was a little tired and panicked, she understood as soon as she saw this person, it was really the appearance of the peach blossom, not only the appearance was good, but the others were also a romantic style, as soon as they entered the warm pavilion and saw Hongchen, they had a ghostly light in their eyes, and they were attentive, and they personally brought the wine glass, and wanted to hand it to Hongchen, which was chic and wanton.

Luo Niang's face suddenly darkened.

This person should know very well that he is a son-in-law, and his family background is no worse than that of the Lu family, he must not marry a concubine, and his behavior is still so unscrupulous, causing people to misunderstand, it is too much, you know, there is an ambiguity, the man has to be evaluated, but the woman does not know how much she has to suffer.

Hongchen glanced at him, turned his head directly to talk to Sister Yao'er, and didn't take Brother Jun in his eyes at all.

Sister Yao snorted and laughed.

Brother Jun raised his eyebrows and hooked the corners of his lips, but he was not angry, but more gentle and considerate, seeing the stitches, he tried every means to make Hongchen talk and laugh with himself, if it was like this with another woman, he probably wouldn't really bother with it, but Hongchen's appearance is too lethal, even if he has a cold face, it is also a cold beauty.

is not only Brother Jun, but also several cousins in the other two rooms of the Lu family, who also have a good impression of Hongchen and are very affectionate.

Brother Mao was in a somewhat complicated mood, but he couldn't show it at this time, Hongchen looked around, a little bored, and just took a sip of light wine, he felt a particularly dazzling gaze sliding on his face.

That feeling, as if she was going to tear off her face, Hongchen frowned and looked up, and saw a girl glaring at her viciously, but as soon as she touched her gaze, her pupils suddenly contracted, her lips turned blue, and she slowly turned her head and looked away casually.

Sister Yao obviously felt it, and leaned over and whispered: "Don't pay attention to her, this person is Zhou Jing, Qiao Jun's cousin, their family seems to want to kiss and kiss, so they are about to get engaged, she is mixed with Brother Jun all day long, and she doesn't have to worry about reading." ”

"I really don't know what to think, if a woman doesn't love herself, how can she make others like her."

Sister Yao doesn't like these people very much, "Her reputation is not good in the women's school, it is spicy and vicious, I heard that she also blinded Brother Jun'er's eyes, and last time she almost pushed Brother Jun'er into the water through the window, causing people to twist their wrists, and even delaying the imperial examination, if it weren't for the Qiao family to support her, hum." ”

Hongchen shook his head, this kind of banquet is really boring.

The elders also said that they were afraid of disturbing their interest, so no one came, and a group of children gathered together to talk about the wind and the moon, pretending to be adults one by one, and from time to time to express their views on the government, but what they said was always a little naïve.

and Brother Jun kept coming to her side, and Luo Niang began to roll her eyes: "People who are about to have a fiancée don't know how to converge, what is it!" ”

"Let's go, go out and sit."

A group of children in the warm pavilion began to drink, Hongchen was bored, and under the pretext of going to be convenient, he helped Luo Niang to walk slowly to the courtyard and found a gazebo to sit down.

Luo Niang poured her a cup of hot tea.

Hongchen greeted, Xiao Yan opened his backpack, took out a bunch of letters and handed them over, these are all news from Shengmen, most of them are from the capital.

Although he left to hide and be quiet, Hongchen had to ensure that he was well-informed, and if the news was broken, it would be death.

After looking at it for a while, Hongchen raised his eyebrows: "You're going to war?" ”

Luo Niang was stunned: "Why did Miss say that?" She glanced down, except for the top secret, most of the letters were sorted out by her and Xiao Yan before they were shown to her own young lady.

Hongchen laughed, took out a few letters and put them on the table, "It's the kitten and the little fox who are complaining that they are working overtime and letting Lin Gongzi be a donkey." ”

Luo Niang was confused.

"The kitten is the best at arithmetic, managing the account room, Lin Gongzi got him to the household department last year, and he is still responsible for the business of Shengmen, Tian Mu has just been calculated last month, and the accounts of each shop have just been checked, what can they be busy with? It can only be an errand for the household. ”

"Xiaoci is the most careful, Lin Gongzi arranged for him to take care of the treasury, now he is on an errand in the military department, he is the most idle on weekdays, and now he is busy, what can he be busy with? It's about to be a war, the two of them are helping to prepare all kinds of materials, the so-called soldiers and horses have not moved, the grain and grass go first, even if there is no war yet, there are signs, otherwise, our Lin Gongzi will not call the two of them like this. ”

Luo Niang and Xiao Yan were stunned.

Hongchen smiled: "I guess, it may be our majesty who wants to divert everyone's attention, if there is really a war, what everyone is thinking about at the moment has to be put down for the time being, nothing is more important than the invasion of foreign enemies...... Don't be nervous, there are often things like wars. ”

As he was talking, a ghost shadow suddenly appeared in the grass next to him, and there was a green fire in his hand, and the flames splashed, and they flew down to Hongchen's body, and they burned all at once.

Luo Niang was taken aback.

At this time, there were faint footsteps and talking outside, Xiao Yan frowned, somehow, her first thought was that this person was to let the young lady burn her clothes, and once the clothes were torn, let others see the skin...... (To be continued.) )
