37. Psychic eye
"Why can't you see it, you're here, I'm not blind," Fang Wei was curious why he asked, she walked over to him, stretched out her little hand and pulled his sleeve, "Uncle, it's summer, isn't it hot for you to wear so much?" β
"Uncle?" Mingyuan put aside the question just now, raised his index finger and poked Fang Wei's face, "Kid, don't you think it's more appropriate to call your brother?" "He looked like he was no more than twenty years old, though his age was about to become a mysteryγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
"Oh, brother," Fang Wei changed her words very neatly, and looked at him seriously, "The clothes you wear are so strange, just like the people I have seen singing on stage before." β
"Really?" Mingyuan looked down at what he was wearing, and seemed to have heard this for the first time, so he explained, "This is called Zhiqi, it is the clothes of the Song Dynasty, well, the Song Dynasty, do you know?" It must have been almost a thousand years ago. β
"Song Dynasty? I haven't heard of it," Fang Wei sat down beside him and asked, "By the way, Mother Chen's stomach hurt just now, did you do it?" β
Seeing him nod, she asked again, "Why are you helping me?" Aren't you afraid that Mama Chen will beat you? β
A funny expression surged up at the corner of Mingyuan's lips, "Child, be afraid, is she afraid of me?" β
"I'm not called a child, my name is Fang Wei, you can call me Xiaowei like the second wife." Fang Wei corrected seriously.
"Okay, Xiaowei," Mingyuan looked at the little girl in front of him wearing a pink cheongsam, with two big watery eyes embedded in her white and tender face, which was so cute that he couldn't help pinching her cheeks, "I helped you just now because I couldn't get used to seeing bad people bullying children." However, you also did something that made me angry. β
Fang Wei frowned, "What did I do?" β
Mingyuan pointed to the fragments of the vase on the ground, "You damaged the place where I live, now it's okay, I don't have a place to sleep at night." β
"You live in a vase?" Fang Wei was taken aback, and then felt very guilty, "I'm sorry, otherwise, you can live with me, anyway, my bed is very big, we can squeeze it." β
Mingyuan shook his head, "No, I have to stay in a spiritual object, this vase is from the Tang Dynasty, after thousands of years, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, it is suitable for me to live, but now I can't find a suitable thing for a while, alas, it seems that I am going to freeze at night." β
After that, he also pretended to sigh, causing Fang Wei to cry apologetically.
"Okay, okay, I'll tease you. I can't feel the temperature again. Mingyuan rubbed her hair, and was about to continue to say something, when a call sounded outside the door.
"Xiaowei, so you're here." As soon as the second wife entered the door, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw Fang Wei sitting on the sofa well, and just now she heard the next person say that Fang Wei made a mistake and was caught by his wife, so she immediately rushed over worriedly.
"Second wife." Fang Wei jumped off the sofa and happily greeted her. She went to Fang's house for more than a month, and her father arranged her in the second wife's residence, saying that the second wife would be her mother in the future.
Although the second wife is very good to her, and she is the only person in the family who will smile at her except for her father, but I don't know why, she just can't call out that mother.
"Xiaowei, Mrs., she didn't embarrass you, did she?" The second lady bent down and took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her face.
Fang Wei lowered her head and pursed the corners of her mouth, thought about it, and finally shook her head, although she was young, she also knew some things, and decided not to embarrass and be sad for the second wife.
"That's good," the second wife took her hand with relief, "No matter what Mrs. does to you, don't anger her, after all, she has the final say in the Fang family's back houseγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» alas, forget it, don't talk about this, Xiaowei, when you grow up and get married, life will be better." I'll have you get a sugar cake for you, so go back and eat it while it's hot. β
Fang Wei's mood turned out to be a little heavy, but as soon as she heard that there was something delicious, she immediately regained her happy appearance, and she turned her head to look at the sofa before going out, but it was empty.
Fang Wei went to bed after dinner, maybe she was tired from playing during the day, she slept very peacefully all night, and when she opened her eyes, the sky was already bright, and the golden warm sunlight poured in through the window.
Fang Wei sat up from the bed, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a figure standing in the dark part of the room, wasn't it the strange uncle from yesterday, uh, no, it was the strange brother!
"Hey, brother, how did you get into my room?" Fang Wei climbed down from the bed and walked over to him to pull him out.
Mingyuan shook off her hand and pointed to the window, "You go and close the curtains first." β
"Oh." Although she didn't know why, Fang Wei obediently did so, and when she pulled the curtains tightly, as soon as she turned around, she saw Mingyuan looking down at her condescendingly in a posture that floated off the ground.
"Can you fly? That's amazing! Fang Wei's eyes lit up.
"Heh, shouldn't the normal reaction be fear?" Mingyuan muttered softly, put away his teasing heart, sat down on the chair next to the bed, looked sideways at the nervous little girl in front of him, and said, "Uh, Xiaowei, I've found a new place to live now, in your snuffbox." β
"Here?" Fang Wei took out the snuffbox from her arms, "This was left to me by my mother, I didn't expect it to be able to live in people?" β
"Of course it can't live human, but I'm not human."
"And what are you?"
"Well," Mingyuan thought for a moment, "to put it nicely, I'm a ghost." β
"Ghosts?" Fang Wei bit her fingers and thought about it, and suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, "Ah, I know, you are a ghost in other people's mouths, right?" β
"Hey, children should be polite, I'm not a low-level ghost, I'm a ghost, a ghost with mana." Mingyuan leaned in and pinched her cheek.
"Oh," Fang Wei was a little stunned, the person in front of her was afraid of the sun, and he would float around, and he was also very good-looking, wasn't he a ghost, but she didn't continue to dwell on this question, "Brother, do you have a name?" If not, then I'll call you Ah You in the future, okay? β
This name is very level, but Mingyuan is too lazy to worry about the child, so he only said: "Whatever you like." β
Fang Wei regarded the fact that there was a ghost living in the snuffbox she carried with her as a strict secret, she didn't say anything, she would only secretly take it out when no one was around, and say a bunch of words to it, the snuffbox was quiet most of the time, only occasionally there was a response, but it made her excited for a long time.
In addition to Fang Wei, the children and grandchildren of the Fang family only have a daughter born to the eldest wife, but people usually don't care about her at all, so Fang Wei is very lonely, and talking to the snuffbox has become a great pleasure in her life.
However, this kind of behavior is very strange in the eyes of others, and some people saw that they secretly sued the second lady, saying that she was evil.
The second lady was so worried that she called Fang Wei over to have a good look, and after that, Fang Wei no longer dared to take out her snuffbox during the day, but before going to bed at night, she stretched out her fleshy little finger and poked and poked.
"Hey, I'm going to sleep too."
Fang Wei felt a chill in her ears, and when she turned around, she saw Mingyuan sitting at the head of her bed, "Hehe, Ayou, you finally came out." Why do you always wear a dress? Don't you need to change it? β
Mingyuan looked down at his clothes, with a curved collar and big sleeves, a leather belt around his waist, embroidered with purple trim on the edges, what a normal outfit, I don't know why this girl keeps holding on to his clothes? He patted away the small hand that reached out and touched the gold-threaded fish bag around his waist, and said, "Of course the ghosts don't change their clothes, and whatever they wear in their last moments, they will wear that dress forever." β
"Ah You, then how did you die?" Fang Wei's long eyelashes flickered, revealing a curious expression.
Mingyuan's eyes darkened, and he was silent for a few seconds and said, "It's been too long, I forgot about it, besides, why do children know so much?" Hurry up and go to bed, didn't the second wife say that she would take you to see your father tomorrow? β
"Yes, I have to go to bed quickly, hehe," Fang Wei was so happy that she thought of seeing her father tomorrow, she pulled the quilt over and said before turning off the lights, "Good night then, Ah You." β
Mingyuan was stunned, it seemed that for the first time in a thousand years, someone had said good night to him.
"Well, good night, Xiaowei."
The next day, Fang Wei changed into new clothes and was led by the second wife to Master Fang's residence. Last month, Master Fang went to the field to discuss business, and only went home today, and several other aunts and wives in the back house got the news, and they all applied grease and powder, dressed up in a fancy way, and rushed to see their own master.
However, as soon as everyone came to the hall, they were in a bad mood in an instant, without him, it was because Master Fang was holding a young and beautiful woman with a foreign smell in his arms, and Master Fang also said, "You are all here, just right, to introduce you, she will be the ninth aunt of the Fang family from now on." β
Mrs. Fang sat on the sofa next to her, drinking tea with a blank face. Several aunts and wives originally looked unhappy, but when they saw Mrs. Fang's calm appearance, their hearts instantly balanced, hum, they didn't say anything in the main room, they were so jealous, you know, they also entered the door like this at the beginning.
So, several women glanced at each other and said with a smile: "Oh, this sister is so beautiful, the sisters are ashamed of themselves, master, you are really blessed!" β
"Haha," Master Fang touched his beer belly, laughed a few times, and saw Fang Wei in a blink of an eye, so he beckoned, "Xiaowei, come here, you have been in the Fang family for two months, the second wife should have taught you the rules, right?" You're not young anymore, so you'll study with Zirou from tomorrow, and you can have a companion. β
"With my sister?" Fang Wei looked at Fang Zirou beside Mrs. Fang, who was glaring at her with disgust.
"yes, don't you want to? You are two sisters, don't be so rusty, you should have more contact and learn more from each other, you know? β
"Dad, I don't want to study with this wild child!" Fang Zirou's sharp voice sounded.
"Zirou! What do you say, Xiaowei is her father's child, how can she be a wild child? Master Fang said this to Fang Zirou, but his eyes looked at Mrs. Fang dissatisfied.
"Hmph, her mother is a dramatist, and she doesn't abide by women's moralsγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» Fang Zirou wanted to say something, but Mrs. Fang covered her mouth.
"Master, Zirou is young, don't take her words to heart, it's because I usually spoil her too much. Xiaowei, this child is well-behaved and obedient, and it is better to study with Zirou, so let's decide this matter. Mrs. Fang said with a smile, her eyes glancing at Fang Wei, but she couldn't help but exude a chill.
