Chapter 7: Crying in the middle of the night
"Mama Xu beside Madame just came to instruct, saying that the prince will probably come back the day after tomorrow, and ask the slave to clean up the study tomorrow and send the jasmine smoke over." Taozhi didn't seem to hear the master's apprehension, and said excitedly, "Young lady, just wait for the prince to come back, and see who dares to bully us." β
Girl, that's not the point of the conversation, okay!
"Momozhi, what kind of person do you think Shizi is?" God pity her, if that man were standing in front of her now, it seems that she would not recognize it.
"Slaves and maids dare not pretend to be the son of the world." Outside the bed tent, Taozhi whispered.
Shen Qingli felt helpless for a while, pulled the quilt up, paused, and said: "Now it's just the two of us, and I asked you to say it, what dare you dare?" β
If that person had a short-tempered personality and a loving ex-girlfriend in her heart, wouldn't she have died miserably.
You have to plan your way back in advance!
"The slave maid heard that the prince is a well-known gentle gentleman in the capital." Speaking of this, Taozhi was so excited that he said, "Young lady, the slave maid also heard that in the war, the prince had been on the battlefield and made military exploits, and now he is still a celebrity in front of the emperor, and he is still a five-grade official!"
Looks like that's not the point, okay!
"Do you think Shizi is good to me?" Shen Qingli couldn't help but blurt out.
Memories are a little blurry.
Except for those cold eyes, there was no definite information.
She was a little confused.
Taozhi was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Young lady, you forgot, when the prince got married, he was drunk for three days in a row, and he rested in the study, and the slave persuaded the young lady at that time, saying that the prince was a heavy lover, and he must still not forget Miss Wanyue in his heart, and the young lady had to give the prince some time." β
Oh, got it!
Shen Qingli breathed a sigh of relief.
Time, of course she is willing to give, is it enough in a lifetime? She thought to herself, laughingly.
No wonder Mama Yang came to tidy up the study with great fanfare, it turned out that the study was the real residence of the prince.
Study room, study room, it seems that everyone is talking about the study all day.
In my previous life, I was a senior bookworm, an out-and-out book controller!
There are indeed benefits to crossing.
Suddenly I had a great interest in the study: "Taozhi, I will die with you tomorrow in the study!" β
"That's a good idea." Momozhi couldn't wait to answer.
As soon as the words fell, a low cry, accompanied by Xiao Xiao's wind, came extremely mournful.
The voice seemed to be outside the window.
The night wind blew the white mulberry paper on the window lattice.
There were branches reflected on it, like shaking arms.
Then there was another low laugh, but this laughter was more terrifying than Shicai's cry.
"Young lady." Momozhi looked grim, curled up on the couch by the window, and was about to cry in fright, "Isn't it haunted?" β
Normal people who cry and laugh in the middle of the night.
"Momozhi, there are no ghosts in this world." Shen Qingli was shocked, sat up hurriedly, pulled out the bed curtain, plucked up the courage to look at the tall window, only to see the shadows of the trees swaying, the moonlight was cold, and comforted in a low voice, "Maybe it's a night owl." β
Although he said this, his heart was furious.
In my impression, the inner courtyard of a deep house like this is a place where dirt and dirt are hidden, and who knows how many unsightly things are hidden in the corners and corners.
Shouldn't it be a lonely ghost who died unjustly in this Hou Mansion?
In an instant, there was another trembling of fear.
Seeing Momozhi's frightened face, he beckoned to her again: "Come, go to bed and sleep!" She was also a little scared.
"No, the slave doesn't dare." Peach Branch curled up in the dark blue quilt and shook her head with a pale face.
Although they also slept together in the boudoir.
But now, it's absolutely impossible.
Shen Qingli had no choice but to tighten the bed curtain and cover his head.
Fortunately, there was no movement outside the window.
A qiΔ silence is as good as ever.
The two breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Bi Tao, will this yard be haunted!" Listening to the sound of crying and laughing outside the window, Cuizhi hid in the quilt and asked tremblingly.
"What the hell could it be? Don't talk nonsense. Bi Tao got out of bed, walked lightly to the window, looked out, went back to the bed, and said disappreciably, "It must be a night owl." β
"Sister Bi Tao, I heard that this Yongding Marquis Mansion used to be the emperor's palace." Cuizhi whispered.
"The Emperor's Palace? In other words, the emperor has lived here? Bi Tao asked suspiciously, "Who did you listen to?" β
This girl knows everything.
"I listened to the peony next to Mrs. Tai, she often went to the mountain behind our Qingxin Garden to get mountain spring water to water Mrs. Tai's flowers, once I helped her carry water, she told me, saying that there is a hot spring pool on the mountain!" Cuizhi forgot about her fear for a while, and the more she talked, the more excited she became, "Peony also said that the hot spring pool was built when the emperor lived here, but I don't know why, since the Yongding Marquis Mansion moved in, the back mountain does not let people go, but the people around Mrs. Tai often go there to get water and water the flowers." β
"It turns out that this used to be a palace!" Bi Tao couldn't help but look at the carved beams and paintings in the house, when she lived in, she thought that the Yongding Marquis Mansion was really powerful, and the next room was so well decorated!
"Hehe, I didn't expect us to live in the palace." Tsui Zhi couldn't help but laugh.
As he spoke, another low sobbing came.
It seems to be right in the yard.
Cuizhi immediately stopped, and he didn't dare to come out.
Bi Tao looked grim, jumped up from the bed, and gently pushed the door and walked out.
Under the moonlight, the flowers and trees in the courtyard are plated with a faint layer of silver white, and in the cool wind like water, there is a faint light.
The jasmine from the jasmine orchard has been picked and smoked, leaving only the lush branches and leaves swaying gently and making a rustling sound.
"Who's there?" Bi Tao asked in a whisper.
No one answered.
The low sobs were gone.
Bi Tao stood in the courtyard for a moment before returning to the house full of suspicion.
"What do you see?" Cui Zhi asked with a pale face as she curled up in the quilt.
"Nothing." Bi Tao shook her head, just wanted to lie down, as if she remembered something again, she bypassed the main hall and entered the back room, stood at the door, and said in a low voice, "Taozhi, tell Mrs. SΓΉ, there is nothing outside, don't be afraid, probably a night owl." β
"Got it." Tao Zhi responded, got up, lifted the door curtain, walked to the bed tent, and said softly, "Young lady, Bi Tao went out to see just now, and said that there was nothing outside. β
"Well, let's sleep! Probably really a night owl or something. Shen Qingli secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In the study not far away, the candlelight swayed.
A figure hurriedly walked out, and when he saw that there was no movement on the side of Zhengyuan, he quietly pushed the door and walked out.
