Linglong came to the big kitchen and saw that everyone was wearing plain clothes, squatting or standing in groups of three or five to eat together. Everyone was a little surprised to see her coming, no one got up to salute her, just looked at her secretly, and talked about it from ear to ear.

Xiaocui received a bowl of gruel, two steamed buns and a plate of pickles, Wanru also came up, and the mother-in-law who was cooking looked at her: "Who are you?" ”

"I'm your new young lady reads;."

"Yo, young lady! Why did the young lady come to us to receive food? We don't have a young lady here. The mother-in-law looked disdainful, and her tone was scathing.

Linglong saw that there were still so many left in the basin, her stomach was so hungry that she was growling, she didn't have the heart to care about her, she took a bowl to scoop the rice, but the mother-in-law held the spoon and didn't give it, Linglong pulled down her face: "Don't give face and shame, anyway, I am also welcomed in by your Hou Mansion from the main gate, you are a subordinate, dare to stumble with me, believe it or not, I asked my father to find someone to get your whole family?" ”

The mother-in-law was not afraid, and sneered: "Oh? Is the young lady willing to admit that she is from our Hou Mansion? I remember that the young lady said that if you don't visit the church, you won't be married, so ah, you can't be considered the master of our Hou Mansion, the young lady wants to find her father and mother, and the slave family is very busy. ”

Linglong glared at the woman angrily, she gritted her teeth, directly scooped a bowl of porridge in a big basin with a bowl, grabbed some pickles with her hands and threw them into the bowl, grabbed a few steamed buns, gritted her teeth and said: "Dog slave, Miss Ben remembers you, let's wait and see, see what happens to you." ”

The old woman waved her spoon and knocked over Linglong's bowl, "Miss Su is so backbone, why do you want to eat the things of our Hou Mansion?" ”

Linglong was so angry that he splashed a bowl of porridge on her face, grabbed the spoon and knocked the door of her head a few times, knocking the mother-in-law dizzy, and the door of the head was a big bag before stopping.

Then she spat a few mouthfuls into the rice bowl: "Don't you want me to eat? Don't let me eat it, and don't want anyone to eat it. ”

Linglong took two bites of the bun fiercely, ate a bite of pickles, and directly scooped the rice with a spoon to eat, seeing her gobbling up without paying attention to it, everyone was stunned, and they stopped to see her eating alone.

Linglong was really hungry, and ate five steamed buns and three bowls of gruel in a row, before he held his stomach and burped and pointed at the woman and scolded: "Dog slave, this time I will teach you a lesson, and next time I dare to contradict Miss Ben, Miss Ben wants you to look good." ”

Linglong hiccuped, glanced around to find Xiaocui, and pulled her up and walked slowly towards the mourning hall.

When they returned to the mourning hall, there was a circle of monks chanting around the coffin, the ten concubines of the eldest prince knelt in front of the hall and wept, and the Hou Ye and his wife Tian were also present, but they were sitting aside.

Tian lowered her head to wipe her tears, Mother Du whispered a few words in her ear, she looked up and saw that Linglong's face had changed, she turned her head and whispered something to Hou Ye, and then got up and walked towards Linglong.

When Tian passed by Linglong's side, he said coldly, "Come out with me." ”

Listening to her unkind tone, Linglong felt very uncomfortable, she didn't want to go according to her original intention, but people had to bow their heads under the eaves, this lady was so cruel to her son, not to mention herself, there was no way, bear with it!

Linglong followed his wife Tian to the corner of the courtyard outside the mourning hall, and Tian's critical eyes swept her from beginning to end: "I heard that you went to the big kitchen to make trouble?" ”

Linglong shrunk his neck: "No, I'm just going to eat." ”

"You are the young lady of my Hou Mansion, you don't have to go to the big kitchen for dinner."

"But no one brings me food, madam, why don't you give me food if I cry for your son's funeral?"

Mrs. Tian stretched her face and reprimanded: "How do you speak?" Your Su family didn't teach the rules? ”

Linglong rolled her eyes slightly, Tian's face turned pale with anger, and Mother Du helped her stroke her back: "Young lady, just now you just left with your front foot, and the slave maid brought you food with your back foot, you see, the food box is still there." ”

Linglong glanced back, and there was indeed a food box on the stone table next to him, with five layers in a row, and it seemed to be quite rich. But this Tian is not a good thing, what if she drugs me? Instead of that, I might as well go to the big kitchen and eat.

Mother Du said: "Young lady, the food is still hot, you can use it quickly!" ”

"No need, I've just eaten a lot, I'm holding on, I can't eat anymore, Mother Du can use it!"

Mother Du looked at Mrs. Tian inquiringly, and Tian's face said lightly: "If you can't eat, forget it, don't go to the big kitchen to make trouble tomorrow, I will send someone to bring you food." ”

Mrs. Tian took Mother Du to the mourning hall, and Linglong stopped her: "Wait, madam, won't you arrange a place for me to live?" Where do I sleep at night? ”

Tian Shi glanced back at her, his brows furrowed slightly: "You are the main room of Tai'an, and the guardian must at least keep the first seven, so if you are really tired, rest on the small couch on the side of the mourning hall!" ”

"Am I alone?"

"Of course not, the others take turns on duty."

"Wait, I didn't even bring my personal maid, madam, give me your little green maid! There is also a need to serve tea and water. ”

Tian glanced at Xiao Cui, "You can see that she stays, go back with me." ”

Linglong followed Tian to the mourning hall and knelt honestly, the monk's chanting sound sounded like a lullaby to her, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.

"Su~Ling~Long~~ come down and accompany me...... Su~Ling~Long~~ Come down with me......" The faint trembling ghostly voice woke her up, and she jumped up screaming, clenching her arms and curling into a ball.

The eyes are still white, or the mourning hall, but the huge mourning hall is empty, and a round incense burner in front of the coffin is faintly floating with white smoke.

Linglong was so frightened that her whole body trembled, a gust of wind blew outside the door, and the window was blown rattling, she was so frightened that she wanted to scream loudly, but found that she couldn't scream, she just blindly shrank in, until she retracted into the corner of the wall and hid behind the white curtains.

I don't know how long it took, there seemed to be a slight noise in the silent night, Linglong's body trembled, and he pointed his ears to listen to the movement outside.

"Young lady? Young lady? ”

It was Du's mother's voice, Linglong wanted to go out, but I don't know if Fang was so frightened that his body couldn't move. She gently pulled out a gap in the curtain, and watched Mama Du come in, followed by Xiaocui.

Mother Du went to Shangzhuxiang first, looked around and didn't see Linglong, turned around and asked Xiaocui: "Young lady?" ”

"When the slave and maid went out, they saw the young lady asleep here, most of them...... Let's get out and breathe! ”

"You go out and look for her, get her back quickly, and don't let her run around in the middle of the night."

"Yes!" Little Cuifu left.

Du's mother looked around at the door, then half-covered the door, walked to the incense burner, took out something from her sleeve and poured it into the incense burner, the incense burner instantly ignited an open flame, and Du's mother was scared to take a few steps back. Fortunately, the open flame was quickly extinguished, and a faint fragrance wafted out, and Du's mother quickly covered her nose and retreated outside the mourning hall.

After a while, Xiaocui came back: "Mother Du, the slave didn't find the young lady." ”

"Didn't find it? Where can she go? ”
