"The girl's clothes are torn, go get a cloak." Yalian looked at Shi Manman's gaze in shock, and immediately shouted to the little maid who came with her. Yun Bi didn't speak, she didn't avoid Shi Manman's gaze like Yalian, but looked at Shi Manman's skirt and stared at it, slightly opening up a short distance from Yalian.

Yalian's words made Zai Xiaolei's gloomy face a little gloomy, was she afraid that others would not know that Shi Manman was not covered at this time? Xiao Lei couldn't see the extent to which the clothes behind Shi Manman were damaged at this time, but listening to the long cracking sound, the damaged area of the clothes was not small.

Without waiting for the maid to bring the cloak, Xiao Lei took off the soft wool cotton cloak on his body and walked in front of Shi Manman, but when he walked in, he found that Shi Manman's clothes were intact, without a trace of cracking.

He looked at Shi Manman suspiciously.

The late autumn night dew is wet and cold, and Shi Manman's body is no different from a human now, and it will catch a cold. When Xiao Lei wanted to drape the cloak over her shoulders, Shi Manman shook his head slightly and refused, turned to Yalian and said, "It's your skirt that hooked it." ”

The Xiao family all watched Shi Manman's every move, and she turned around to show the intact clothes behind her in front of everyone.

Yalian hurriedly looked at the hem of her skirt, and sure enough, her skirt was covered by a stone with some obtuse angles that protruded slightly from the side of the road, and it looked like it had been torn apart, if she took two steps further, the piece of fabric would not be able to hang.

Before Yalian had time to feel sorry for her new dress, she met Shi Manman's shallow eyes, as if all the thoughts could not be avoided, even a little bit of caution was exposed under Shi Manman's eyelids.

"Yunbi, you accompany Yalian back to change your clothes." Shi Manman's expression was still shallow, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow. This made Yalian even more apprehensive, and she only said yes.

Yun Bi raised her eyes dumbly, and looked at Xiao Lei expectantly. But Xiao Lei's gaze focused on Shi Manman, and he didn't see Yun Bi's eyes. Yun Bi pursed her lips, whispered yes, and left together.

"Excuse me, some time delayed." Shi Manman walked lightly towards the Xiao family, who had been silent.

If it weren't for the rush to worship the moon, Grandmother Xiao would definitely let Yalian know what the rules of the Xiao family were. I once heard Sun Niang mention that the maids who were waiting next to Shi Manman were all unreliable, one was lazy to eat, and the other was running out.

The only thing that can be a little relieved is that Shi Manman's handling of it satisfies her, she is not panicked, and she is calm and calm from beginning to end, although Grandmother Xiao wants to teach Shi Manman a lesson for the maid named Yalian. But looking at Shi Manman's appearance, maybe Shi Manman can do a good job without her intervention.

"The time is just right, Aunt Sun ordered the kitchen to serve food." In this era, men are respected and filial piety is supreme. Although Xiao Yuan is a family, most of the Xiao family's voice and execution power is on Grandmother Xiao.

The dull dinner party strictly followed the rule of not saying anything. In order to prevent the Xiao family from having thorns to pick on, Shi Manman left the little hooked snake in the courtyard. I'm glad it didn't come, otherwise I wouldn't be able to jump out and eat this table of delicious food, and it would have suffocated it to internal injuries.

When the last ash fell from the incense burner, everyone at the table put down their spoons in unison. Even though Shi Manman seemed to be dignified and ate quickly, he still didn't fill his stomach, staring at the plate of roasted goose slices with dry eyes, and the braised clear fish was taken away by the subordinates.

Grandmother Xiao's mind tonight was all focused on Shi Manman's demeanor, which was completely different from Shi Manman's "rude" eating appearance when they met for the first time.

Grandmother Xiao didn't know why Shi Manman had changed today, Xiao Lei knew it.

One day, when he went to Qiansuju to look for stone vines, he saw her holding a book in one hand and gesturing at the void table with the other, and she was sitting in a precarious position and squirming her mouth from time to time.

Xiao Lei asked Shi Manman what she was doing, but she said quietly: "I am training myself to use the most elegant posture, and I can eat quickly without being rude." Xiao Lei looked at the content of the stone vine book again, which is a way to teach women the etiquette of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and behave in a dignified and decent manner.

The servant cleaned up the table very quickly, perhaps for this sacred ceremony, everyone at the table ate very little except for the stone vines, and after putting down the dishes and chopsticks, the table top was as if it had not been stained at the beginning, and even the dishes were clean as if they had never been used.

After Steward Zhang cleaned his hands and burned incense, he walked to the left side of the incense case, picked up the ritual text placed in the middle of the incense case, and said in a straight and round tone: "The Xiao family stepped forward." ”

Led by Xiao Yuan, Xiao Grandmother, Xiao Lei, Xiao Jin, and Liu Yemei stepped forward in order. Shi Manman's identity was a little special, and she stood behind them as a guest.

I listened to Steward Zhang reciting a sacrificial text freely, and the strange words were concatenated into a sentence that sounded like a lengthy spell to Shi Manman, and she was drowsy when she listened.

"Burn incense!" Steward Zhang dragged Yu Chang's tail note and opened Shi Manman's almost closed eyelids in shock. happened to meet Yunxi's scrutinizing gaze, and Yunxi, who was discovered, did not shy away from it, and took his gaze away arrogantly. It seems that only in this way can she not let the other party realize her inferiority.

"The moon is above, may God bless the Xiao family with a healthy year, and people will be peaceful." Xiao Yuan said something in his mouth, and respectfully inserted the three incense sticks lit in his hand into the incense burner.

Xiao Lei put away the contempt for the moon sacrifice, maybe he couldn't believe that there was a moon god in the world, but since he entered Kunlun and saw the legendary demon, his mentality at this time has changed dramatically, and his heart is full of respect for the moon sacrifice this time.

Women are not qualified to come forward to worship incense, and even the distance from the incense case has strict rules, as if the willow eyebrows at this moment are the farthest away from the incense case.

Perhaps she had not fully recovered from her foot injury, and she stood for nearly half an hour, during which she also knelt and bowed. Shi Manman was not far from Liu Yemei, and he also saw that fine cold sweat broke out on her forehead on her face that was in pain.

Not to mention the willow eyebrows, Shi Man's upright feet gradually felt sore, numb and swollen. The sacrificial text sung by Steward Zhang became more and more like a mosquito disturbing dreams in summer in her ears, annoying and noisy.

Finally, Steward Zhang shouted: "The ceremony is over." The two words made Shi Manman secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and gently moved his stiff feet under the wide skirt.

When their respective maids were about to step forward to help their kneeling masters up, Liu Yemei fell on the maid who was helping them up. The maid was crushed, and before falling to the ground, she protected Liu Yemei and did not fall to the cold ground, but pressed on her.

Shi Manman's eyes have always been fixed on Liu Yemei, from the first time she saw Liu Yemei, her graceful bearing also exudes a natural kindness, no matter who the Xiao family is, they like this "lady", except for Grandmother Xiao.

So when Liu Yemei was in a coma, she came to Liu Yemei's side for the first time, but she was shocked in place before she could be rescued. It's just that the demonic aura that suddenly rose on Liu Yemei's body was so strong that it almost covered her flowery and moon-like face.
