204 Rituals (including Jin Chin and Bi Jiagan)

But it was said that there were two rough maids who fell ill in the Zhichun Pavilion, who originally lived in the same room as Zhicao, and then three or four people fell ill one after another, and everyone was in danger for a while, and the clouds in the Zhichun Pavilion were gloomy, but Lin Jinlou looked calm, as if he didn't take this matter to heart at all, but ordered someone to pack up his things, and sent the old lady, the old lady, the Qin family, the Wang family, and the brothers and sisters to live in Zhuangzi. All the affairs in the Lin Mansion were handled by him, and everyone was strictly ordered not to go out and walk around, and they came and went at will, and only the little maids and mothers-in-law who had acne went out on errands. With him in charge, the entire Lin family quieted down.

Lin Jinlou left Xianglan behind, and after Dunlun in the evening, he pinched her face covered in sweat, and said with a smile: "Lord left you behind, are you afraid?" Ye is pondering, even if he dies, the two of us will go down to the Yellow Spring hand in hand, Ye is so rare for you, are you happy? ”

Xianglan was tossed by Lin Jinlou for half the night, she was so tired that she couldn't open her eyes, she was not happy at all when she heard this, thinking that she was now imprisoned by Lin Bawang, she was already wronged, and she couldn't let her go when she died? But now that she has learned to be smart, she no longer provokes Lin Jinlou, and only looks at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.

Lin Jinlou wanted to tease her, but when he saw Xianglan with round eyes and silent, he felt a little bored, and said: "The acne has been experienced, and the infection is dealt with early, so it shouldn't be a big problem." And those who have been in the house since they were children have been on errands, and the house has been given human pox, and only a weak person like Brother Parrot can't help it. Zhichun Hall has long been banned, people outside can't get in, and people inside can't get out. After ten days and half a month, if no one has a fever, this disaster will be over. "Let's open the curtain and call for tea.

I only heard a noise outside, and it turned out to be Zi Dai who came in with a copper kettle, refilled the tea bowl with water, and carefully carried it to the bedside.

Lin Jinlou sat up, the sheet slid straight down to his lower abdomen, and his naked and strong body opened the curtain and took the tea and drank it. Zi Dai saw that his body was long, with broad shoulders and broad back, the muscles of his arm holding the tea bowl were raised, and a drop of sweat rolled down his neck, and he was suddenly stunned, his limbs were weak, his face was red after a while, his heart was beating wildly, and he was full of heat.

Because there was only a residual lamp in the house, Lin Jinlou knew that a girl came in, and she only thought it was Lianxin or Chunling and others, so she didn't feel at ease, and she didn't see the truth, and she died after eating one. Zidai came back to her senses and hurriedly added another lamp. Lin Jinlou took the tea and shook Xianglan, and said, "Get up and take a bite." ”

Xianglan was so tired that she couldn't lift her fingers, Lin Jinlou had a spring revival, and it was a lot of tricks, at first Xianglan was ashamed, and then she was so tired that she couldn't take care of shame, and only closed her eyes and was groggy.

Lin Jinlou shook her a few times, saw Xianglan pretending to be dead, and said, "Get up and take a bite, is it possible to let the master feed you mouth-to-mouth?" ”

Xianglan thought that there was still a maid standing in the room, so she quickly opened her eyes, propped herself up, barely ate a bite, and then fell down again. Lin Jinlou laughed twice, ate the rest of the tea, stretched out his arm from the curtain, and handed the tea bowl out.

Zi Dai hurriedly continued, stood outside for a long time, only to hear Lin Jinlou in the curtain talking in a low voice, Xianglan seemed to be asleep for a long time, only then blew out the candle, and withdrew lightly.

As soon as she went out, she saw Xue Ning standing at the door, staring at her. Because Lin Jinlou didn't want to see Zidai, although she was a first-class maid, she was not even allowed to enter the bedroom door, and only Lianxin, Tinglan, Xue Ning and Chunling were on duty at night. Tonight it was Xue Ning's turn to be on duty at night, she only felt her stomach twisted in the second half of the night, so she went to the toilet, it happened that Zidai was thirsty in the middle of the night, went to the tea room to pour water, and heard Lin Jinlou call someone, so she immediately entered the house.

Xue Ningying saw Zi Dai carrying the pot into the room, and she was so anxious that she was afraid that Lin Jinlou would be angry, so she had to guard the door with fear, and when she saw Zi Dai coming out, she endured her anger and said: "Sister is diligent, next time I won't work for your big drive." ”

Zi Dai smiled kindly, and said in a low voice: "My sister didn't know where she was crazy just now, I also listened to my uncle call me to go in, and my sister doesn't need to thank me." After speaking, he pushed Xue Ning's arm, and Shi Shiran walked out.

Xue Ning gritted her teeth in anger.

Nothing happened for a while.

A few days later, Zhichun Pavilion brought out Zhicao's corpse, and two more people died in the Lin Mansion one after another, but there were no more acne rashes. Xianglan chanted and prayed in the morning and evening, and found the pox boy to send food and drink to Parrot and others. There is a small house outside the second door, because of the roundness, everyone is called a little pig, because of the pox and a pockmarked face, I am afraid to recruit the masters to respond, only do some rough work, this thing will be called, listen to the errand under the corridor. When she heard that Xianglan was looking for someone to do something, Baba immediately came up and took the errand. came back and said: "Brother and sister parrot heard that the girl sent her something, and cried, so she specially asked me to stand under the window outside, and told me that the girl has a good heart, and the only person she can trust in the house for so many years is the girl." said that she had twenty taels of private silver, and some jewelry, all in the small box under her bed. When she is gone, the Lin family will give the family some silver. When she was gone, she begged the girl to keep the silver and jewelry, and gave it to her younger brother with her own hands, for fear that any unclean hands and feet would covet her things, and that the silver would fall into the hands of her sister-in-law, but her father would have no money to treat the disease, and her brother would have no food. ”

Xianglan didn't feel good in her heart, she could see that Brother Parrot deliberately flattered her in the past, and she was very uncomfortable, but they were all pitiful people, Brother Parrot had Brother Parrot's pity, she had hers, and if she could make friends, she would make friends, so why bother with each other. is in such a tepid situation, although she and Brother Parrot are not deeply intertwined, they can be regarded as a match. Now after listening to Brother Parrot's words about the aftermath, Xianglan couldn't help but sigh a few more times, and said to the little pig through the curtain: "You go back and tell her, I should do this." He ordered Chunling to reward him with a red envelope.

On the evening of this day, the third watch has passed, Lin Jinlou still picked up the lamp to watch official business, Xianglan lay on the bed as if she was asleep, and suddenly heard the sound of the cloud board on the second door, and a mother-in-law reported at the door: "The parrot girl is gone." ”

Xianglan was taken aback, sat up immediately, and Lin Jinlou got up and went. After a while, Shuran came back and said: "Because there was no pox, the corpse could not be kept, so I hurriedly carried it to burn it, and kept the ashes to stop the spirit. The coffin has been prepared for a long time, and there is no shortage of everything. ”

Xianglan said what Brother Parrot entrusted to her, and said, "Good sister, I can't go there, and I have to ask you to help me think about it." ”

This is still the first time Xianglan was entrusted with a book to dye to do things, and the book dye immediately patted her chest in response, and praised Xianglan Bodhisattva's heart, and after a while, she really took a bag of silver and jewelry back, and said: "Brother Parrot's family has come, and they are kneeling in front of the uncle to thank him for his grace." ”

Xianglan said: "Who is here in her house?" ”

Shuran said: "Her brother and sister-in-law, and her younger brother. Her younger brother is ten years old, and he works as an errand boy at the second master's place, called Zhao'er. ”

Xianglan added another forty taels to the bag of silver, and ordered someone to call Zhao'er and said to him: "Your sister has an old relationship with me, and before she died, she entrusted me to give you her ladder, this bag is her belongings, you have taken it properly, if you have any difficulties in the future, come to me." ”

Zhao'er and Brother Parrot looked quite similar, her eyes were red from crying, and she knelt down and kowtowed to Xianglan and said, "Grandma Bodhisattva, Zhao'er kowtows to you, and always remembers your great kindness." "I wiped my tears and went, so I won't show it for the time being.

After Zhao'er left, Xianglan was lying on the bed with her clothes closed, dazed, and suddenly saw Brother Parrot come in and say to her, "Sister Xianglan, I'm leaving." You are affectionate and righteous, and you have responded to my business, and in the future, our family will also have its own after-report. ”

Xianglan was excited, but when she opened her eyes, she saw Lin Jinlou walking in from outside, where was the shadow of Brother Parrot.

After more than ten days, no one in the Lin Mansion had fever and acne, and seeing that the New Year was approaching, Lin Zhaoxiang ordered his son, daughter-in-law and others to move back to the Lin family. As soon as the Qin family came back and had an incident, they asked the whole family to go to Qixia Temple to do things and fight for peace and Jiao.

"I've been worried that seven or eight people have died in this home, and I don't know what the news will be. I have already gone to the temple to make a wish, and this time I have fulfilled my wish, and I have to do a great Dharma service to be considered complete. The old lady is going this time. "Qin said," Sister Aya complained to me, saying that it was boring to go back to the temple, and she couldn't even watch the play. This time, there is a high-rise building in Qixia Temple, but it can be sung on a stage. ”

Wang said: "What does her child know, her family's life is at stake, and she only cares about being naughty and watching the excitement." ”

Qin Shi quipped: "Seeing that she is going to be engaged, she is already a big girl, Sister Aya has been a lot more dignified and gentle, and she has even spoken less, so it can be seen that she is going to get married." ”

Lin Dongya's face turned red immediately, and everyone laughed. Lin Dongya quietly turned her head away and snorted softly.

The Qin family sent Rose to the Zhichun Pavilion again, telling SΓΉ Xianglan to take her with her. Rose smiled, "Mrs. also said that she would let the girl sit in a car with her!" ”

Chunling hurriedly asked, "Is Zidai going?" ”

Rose said: "Mrs. didn't ask about her, but Mother Han begged in front of Mrs., and Mrs. also agreed to take her." ”

When Rose left, Chunling clapped her hands and smiled: "See, Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and Mrs. can also see which fox spirit Zidai is." Now that Mrs. Tee called the girl together, this is to lift the girl. ”

Pandan shook her head secretly. She was not at ease at all about what kind of imperial technique the Qin clan used, but after being bored in the mansion for so long, it was always good to be able to go out and relax.

On the day of going to Qixia Temple, there were many cars and horses in front of the Lin Mansion. Pandan shared a car with Qin, there was nothing to say all the way, occasionally Qin wanted to drink tea, Xianglan handed over a cup, or added plum blossom cakes to Qin's hand stove, and then sat quietly in the corner of the carriage. The Qin family is much more amiable, and occasionally asks Xianglan a few words, which is not as cold and indifferent as before. Xianglan secretly wondered in her heart, but she didn't know that the Qin family had a good impression of her when she learned about her volunteering to help Brother Parrot. In fact, even the Qin family herself admitted that a few days ago, Xianglan was in her courtyard, although she was not pleasant, she just stayed there quietly, but her gestures were all beautiful and beautiful, and even her in-law daughter was afraid that she would have to compare. And pandan can be good at painting, and her temperament is also docile, which is extremely rare. Xu is that this girl is too good at first glance, or because his son forcibly brought someone into the door to be a concubine, Qin's heart is always unsteady.

Lin Jinlou rode a horse to escort all the way, and when he arrived at Qixia Temple, the abbot of the temple had already gone out with a group of monks to greet him, and Lin Jinting was busy taking a group of deacons, stewards and children of the clan to socialize.

Lin Jinlou took a turn in the temple, and ordered the nursing courtyard brought by the family to guard the temple, and went to Xianglan to instruct: "Good life to serve the wife, the master will go back first, and I will take you back to the house in three days." and so on. Xianglan has a sentence that does not respond. Lin Jinlou explained a few words and left.

Chunling looked at Xianglan and stopped talking, and said, "Girl, you should be attentive to the uncle...... Now the girl doesn't even have a name, and the uncle is used to being romantic......"

Xianglan smiled faintly. Since there is no longer a pox in the Lin Mansion, Lin Jinlou goes out early and returns late, sometimes he stays outside, some people whisper that Lin Jinlou has a new good look outside, I heard that the Yunshen girl who combed the Yihong Courtyard, this woman is both beautiful and artistic, and has a bright and good voice. She had long heard the rumors from the people below, but Chunling and the others thought she didn't know.

Shuran is a shrewd person, and when he laughed with her, he said: "The girl is a blessed person, I see that the uncle is full of attention to the girl, don't listen to the outside people chewing the tongue roots, the previous uncle was out for three days and two ends, but now he only occasionally goes out to socialize, and he goes home when he goes out of the yamen on weekdays." There is only one girl left in the yard, and these days there is a guard who respects the uncle and a fairy-like girl, but the uncle confiscated it and gave it away directly. Xianglan only laughed when she heard this.

Lin Jinlou's romance is not a day or two, she is a thing in his room, worrying about her in the future, how can she have the heart to eat Lao Shizi's idle vinegar, if Lin Jinlou has a new look, just throw her away, she will be relieved.

Chunling saw that Xianglan didn't answer, so she had no choice but to do anything. For a while, the Qin family wanted to participate in the festival, Xianglan went with her, and after singing once, Lin Dongya first said that she had a headache, so she went back to rest, Lin Dongxiu waited for a while and quietly slipped out, and said secretly: "It is said that the sign of Qixia Temple is the most effective, I will ask for one." Then he came to the Three Temples on the east side, and the main hall was empty. Lin Dongxiu stepped in alone, and was about to take the sticker on the table, but he heard the voices of the talking man and woman faintly behind the Buddha statue, so he walked lightly and hid behind the pillar to take a look, but saw that it was Lin Dongyan talking to a tall actor with a flower face, and couldn't help but be surprised.

Lin Dongyan said: "...... Du Lang, my right eyelid has been beating for the past two days, and my heart is fluttering...... This is ...... Can it really be done? ”

The joke said: "Naturally, I can still lie to you, I am ready, just wait for tomorrow night, you can sleep and be awake." The first few ** people were in Ganlu Temple, and they didn't spend the night, so they couldn't do it. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I'm still scared...... Seven or eight people have died in my family, and as soon as I close my eyes, I wonder if they will come to me for my life, especially Hanfang, who is waiting for me to ...... "RS
