Chapter 67: Robbery (Pink 40+)
The movement was so loud that the maids and women in the house were all asleep, and no one came out to look at them.
An Rong sneered, she really did a good job, she was really the only one who saw the ghost.
"There are good people and good ghosts in the world," Haitang sighed.
An Rong heard that his legs were weak, he didn't almost fall to the ground, and his eyes swept towards Begonia with a speechless look, he always thought that Begonia was calm and serious, but he didn't expect it...... So naΓ―ve.
Before I could stabilize myself, I heard the screams of ah, which were particularly loud in the silence of the night.
The voice is very familiar, it is Shen Anyu's.
An Rong is in a good mood, she wants to see how she stays in Pujiayuan when she is bold and not even afraid of ghosts!
An Rong yawned and went to bed to rest, Haitang was not afraid, the ghost looked very good, give him money, and he left, it is really money that can make the ghost grind.
An Rong was lying on the bed, thinking of Fang Cai's matter, she couldn't help but want to laugh, she asked him to be Zhong Kui, he simply became a ghost, and pretended to be like that, I don't know how he managed to float away?
I can still hear crying in my ears, and it seems that the movement is getting louder and louder?
There was a creak from the window, and a dark shadow jumped in, pinching the sleeping begonia a little, and then unmasking it, revealing a plump and handsome face.
However, his face was a little ugly, and he asked An Rong, "Am I like Zhong Kui?" β
"I was wrong, you are more like a ghost," An Rong obediently admitted his mistake, but he was a dead man who could be angry.
"What did you say?!" Lian Xuan gritted his teeth angrily.
An Rong shook her head hurriedly, but the bad people also helped her, and said hurriedly. "It's not. I mean, you just pretended to be a ghost. β
Lian Xuan's face softened slightly. Some curious asked, "Why did your fifth sister send someone to scare you?" β
An Rong was dumbfounded when asked, and said that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and she wanted her to say something.
"There was a little conflict," An Rong said vaguely.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lian Xuan didn't ask, took a small wooden box from under the wide black robe, and handed it to her. "I robbed it from your fourth sister."
An Rong's eyes widened, the wooden box was Shen Anyu's favorite, and they were usually not allowed to touch it, An Rong took it and took a look, there were eight hundred taels of silver tickets in it, and some exquisite headdresses.
An Rong took the silver ticket, and the rest of the things were stuffed to Lian Xuan, Lian Xuan was about to refuse, he thought that An Rong was for him, he was a dignified seven-foot man. How to use these things, I just wanted to speak. Just listened to An Rong said, "Please help me sell it." β
The corners of Lian Xuan's mouth twitched, he really made himself amorous, this woman is really extraordinary, in the middle of the night, a lonely man and a lonely woman are in the same room, she is not afraid at all, is he so trustworthy when he looks at it?
The corners of Lian Xuan's mouth rose slightly, he was in a happy mood, and he wanted to invite An Rong to enjoy the moon together, but the words were all on his lips, only to realize that the dark clouds were shrouded tonight, there was no moon, and it was suitable for pretending to be a ghost, which was really a disappointment.
An Rong saw him standing there stupidly, with no intention of leaving, and couldn't help but hit him with his eyes, you should go home and wash and sleep.
At this time, there was movement in the courtyard, and Lian Xuan frowned in distress, "I should go, look for me if you have something." β
said it was walking, but in fact it was floating, An Rong had a headache when he saw it, is this person pretending to be a ghost and addicted?
Close the window, An Rong holds a stack of silver tickets, and the bottom of his heart is happy, so that you can steal chickens and rice.
As soon as he lay down in the bed, he heard the sound of going upstairs, and it was Red Sleeves and Xia He who came in.
"Did the four girls sleep?" Xia He asked softly.
An Rong lifted the veil and looked at them blankly, "What's wrong?" β
Seeing that An Rong was awake, but Haitang was sleeping deeply, he wanted to go over and call her up, An Rong hurriedly said, "Let her sleep, she is tired of guarding me until now." β
An Rong is a little worried, Begonia won't sleep for a few days, right?
Xia He stepped forward to help An Rong cover the quilt, and moved the charcoal stove closer, before saying, "The fifth girl was frightened, and now she moved to sleep with the third girl, the old lady is afraid that the girl will be scared, so let the slave maid and the red-sleeved sister come and pick you up to Songhe Courtyard." β
An Rong shook his head.
"I'm fine, I'm going to trouble the two sisters to run away," An Rong said with a smile.
An Rong is fine, Xia He and Red Sleeves can naturally see that which frightened person will have a ruddy face and a smile on his eyebrows?
It's no wonder that the four girls are happy, the wild ghost that pesters her takes the initiative to run to Pujia Pavilion, floating around, and the five girls want to honor him, and the four girls can live in peace in the future, and the old lady can relax.
Afraid of disturbing An Rong's rest, Red Sleeves and Xia He helped An Rong cover the quilt and went back.
A good night's sleep.
The next morning, An Rong was woken up, and when she woke up, Peony was dragging Begonia and chattering non-stop.
"We drank a bowl of convulsive soup last night and didn't hear anything, is there really a ghost in this world? What do they look like? Ugly or not? Is it bloodless and sticking out a long tongue like on the stage? β
The peony questions jumped out one after another, and the eyebrows fluttered, as if he was sorry that he didn't bump into the ghost.
Thinking about last night's experience, Haitang felt a chill on her back, creepy, and glared at Peony and said, "There was a lamp in the house last night, I didn't see what the ghost looked like, I only saw the female ghost floating in the air in white clothes, and the cry in her mouth was like crying. β
Haitang said, several maids imagined the scene in their minds, and couldn't help but tremble, curiosity is one thing, personal experience is another.
"But it's the male ghost who scares the five girls!" Banxia pursed her lips and said.
Bai Zhi leaned over and whispered, "I heard that the male ghost loves money very much, the fourth girl took the money to let him change places to live, and he changed to Pujiayuan, and the fifth girl also gave her money, so he left, I don't know where he is at this time?" β
An Rong's brows were slightly cold, how could this sound like she was deliberately picking up that ghost to go to Pujia Pavilion to scare Shen Anyu?
Haitang glared at Bai Zhi and said, "Nonsense, the girl's money is for the female ghost, the male ghost suddenly floated out, and he still dislikes that the girl gave not the dark paper, why did he go to Pujiayuan, only the female ghost knows, we are by the window, we can't hear them talking." β
Wow. There was another rush of going upstairs.
An Rong yawned and slipped out of the covers. I saw Ruan's mother come in with a beaded curtain. The face is slightly pale.
Ruan's mother stepped forward quickly, and when she saw An Rong getting up, but a few maids were chatting, she scolded Qiu Ju a few times, "When is this, the girl is awake, why don't you wait for the girl to get up?" β
Qiu Ju had a few grievances, and the girl was sleeping deeply. It was the sound of your footsteps that woke the girls up, so I blamed them.
Haitang said softly, "The girl slept late last year, so she slept a little more and was more energetic." β
Ruan's mother glanced at Haitang, and Qiu Ju had already done her own thing, helping An Rong prepare washing water, and waiting for An Rong to put on shoes and take clothes.
Ruan's mother didn't do these things, she stood there and looked at An Rong and said, "The slave sent someone to inquire. The five girls were frightened and developed a high fever during the night. I have sent someone to invite Dr. Liu to come, and it is rumored in the house that the five girls are frightened, all of them are lonely ghosts and wild ghosts that the girl bought with money, and they are not kind to their sisters, and there is a male ghost entrenched in Linglong Garden all the year round, which damages the girl's reputation. β
It's really going to be a rake, An Rong sneered, and was dressed by the maid.
After washing, An Rong calmly finished breakfast, she had a good appetite, and ate four exquisite shrimp dumplings, a small long bao, and a bowl of barley porridge.
Enjoying the winter scenery all the way, Anrong stepped into the Songhe Courtyard.
The mothers-in-law who were sweeping the fallen leaves in the yard took two steps back when they saw An Rong, their expressions were a little afraid and timid, and they even trembled when they spoke.
An Rong glanced at them, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a bright smile, not minding at all.
She knew what they were afraid of, she could use the money to buy the ghosts, who knows when they would not like them, give two money to the ghosts, and let him destroy them without knowing it.
For her, they are now respectful of her.
An Rong stepped into the main room, and when he reached the screen, he heard the voice of the eldest lady.
"Old lady, there is such an unfortunate thing in the house, and the daughter-in-law plans to invite a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts and ward off evil spirits, and suppress Anyu by the way," the eldest lady stood there and said, her voice cold and hard.
The second wife sat there drinking tea for a long time, and said sympathetically, "It was the fourth girl who was scared two years ago, but I never thought that she had become much bolder, she was not afraid of ghosts, and she also knew that bribing ghosts with money, money is really a good thing, but if you invite a Taoist priest to come, sooner or later everyone will know that it will make trouble, who will dare to come to our house as a guest in the future?" β
The second wife disagrees with inviting the Taoist priest into the house, what she hates the most is the Taoist priest, she has no real ability, she knows that she takes money to frame people, who knows if the ghost last night is true or false, maybe it is Xiao Jiang's family who came out to frame people, and this time I don't know who to get to live in Zhuangzi.
The old lady hesitated a little after hearing this, the haunted thing was too evil, and it would damage the reputation of the Hou Mansion, especially An Rong, but she was afraid that it would be difficult to say that she would be close.
The eldest lady's eyes were cold, and she sneered, "The second brother and sister think that I don't care about the reputation of the Hou Mansion, An Yu is frightened, but the ghost also took the money and left from Pujiayuan, if you don't go to Xiyuan for a long time, it is still the second brother and sister who suffers." β
The second wife's face changed, her teeth were clenched, and her hands under the cloud sleeves were clenched.
"I'm just thinking about the reputation of the Hou Mansion, it's useless for my sister-in-law to scare me, I haven't done anything bad in my life, and I'm not afraid of that ghost even if it goes to Xiyuan," the second lady smiled.
Two years ago, Pujiayuan was haunted, and finally the four girls moved out of Pujiayuan, she knew that it was haunted, but she still let the five girls live in, and she was sick for three days, and she didn't move out.
Now I think of looking for a Taoist priest, why didn't I see her looking for her two years ago, and asked her to say that the ghost was made by her!
If that ghost really dares to make trouble in Xiyuan, she will definitely let her eat and walk around!
An Rong stepped in, looking at the second wife with a smile in her eyes, to be honest, she didn't like the second wife very much, the second wife has thin lips, and when she purses it, it makes people feel that she is mean.
But in her previous life, she was also a miserable life, and An Rong always had a trace of pity for her, not to mention that the second wife and the eldest lady were not opposed, but they were just passable on face.
At this time, she realized the meaning of Qingyan's statement that the enemy of the enemy is a friend, and she decided to support the second wife.
