Chapter 34: The Flower Urges the Bell to Ring and the Red Shadow Appears
The day of the fourth lady of the night family was the second day of the lunar month, she entered the palace at night, returned home the next morning, and slept for a day and a night. I woke up this morning to say hello to the old lady, I just had lunch at the moment, and the day should be the fourth day of the lunar month.
Ye Wenyan counted the days with his fingers, it was only the fourth day of the lunar month, and it was not yet the fifteenth, how could the magic be invalid?
Ye Wenyan, the last head of the Xuanmai Ye family, had a secret, a secret that she had never told anyone even in her previous life. Including her mother, grandfather, and Nightfall who follows her ass all day.
Fifteen per month the loss of spiritual power, this is a secret that belongs to her alone. She didn't know what the reason was, but the fifteenth day of every month was her weakest time, she never went out on the fifteenth day of the first month, and even if there was a big event, she avoided this day as much as possible.
At the moment, she wanted to use the power of flowers to bring this body back to life, but she unexpectedly failed, which made her frightened and a little panicked.
The white light in his hand faded and disappeared quickly, and the handful of plum blossoms quickly withered.
She was unwilling, grabbed another handful, and was about to recite the magic trick, when suddenly her mind changed, and she grabbed a handful of flowers and put them back, leaving only one in her hand.
The recipe has changed, from a large technique to restore the vitality of the body, to a small technique to transform objects.
In the blink of an eye, the flower turned into a comb and lay quietly in the palm of her hand.
"Huh?" Confused, she put the comb down, picked up another flower, and soon conjured up another box of rouge.
Ye Wenyan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, it wasn't that there was a problem with the spiritual power, it was just that the great spell of rejuvenation could not be cast.
She thought about it carefully, and soon realized that the problem should not be in the spell, but in her current body.
After all, it is a resurrection of the corpse, the real fourth lady of the night family has died thoroughly, and this body is a real dead man's body. She belongs to the soul of another world forcibly stuffed into the dead body, maybe her soul body is special, or maybe it is in the process of this crossing ~ something happened, in short, her soul can not be completely integrated with this corpse, which has caused the current situation like the living dead.
But if the spell can't be changed, is it possible that she will always walk in this world with a big white face and a body without body temperature? If you don't say it, sooner or later you have to be seen by someone, and it will still be troublesome when the time comes.
Ye Wenyan was a little upset, raised his hand and patted the comb and rouge, and the two things turned back into flowers, blinking and withering.
I don't know if it was a lot of trouble in the morning, in short, this afternoon, the general's mansion was quite quiet, at least no one came to this small courtyard to disturb her. It was Shen'er who found that the flowers were half withered, and asked her twice, but when she didn't want to say, he didn't ask more.
For the rest of the flowers, Ye Wenyan found a brocade bag and put it up and hung it around his waist. I also picked up a few and stuffed them into my sleeve pocket for easy access at any time.
Dinner was served in his own house, a plate of fried dried vegetables and a bowl of rice.
Dried vegetables are sun-dried vegetables that are picked and dried in autumn and can be eaten when soaked in winter.
Ye Wenyan couldn't understand one thing, is there a shortage of salt in the General's Mansion? She asked Shen'er: "Why is this dried vegetable so lightly fried?" ”
Shen'er was surprised, "Is it light?" The slave and maid thought that it would be salty, because the pickles for our subordinates were very salty, so the slave and maid ate two bowls of rice with three mouthfuls of pickles, and drank two large bowls of water, which was too salty. ”
"Is there anything left?" She asked Shen'er, "If there is any leftover, bring it to me, don't think you bury it, this dish is so light that I really can't eat a bite." After speaking, he took the chopsticks and rummaged through the dishes, "There is no meat foam at all, it seems that the life of the General's Mansion is really not very good, and my life is so bitter for Miss Tang, let alone others." ”
Shen'er hurriedly went out of the house to get pickles, and when she came back, her mouth was pouting, "It's not that the general's mansion is bad, it's that our life is not good, Miss used to eat well, and there are at least six dishes at every meal, four of which are meat." As it is now, I am afraid that the maids on the second lady's side eat better than you, Miss. ”
"Really?" Ye Wenyan smiled, "Then write down the three meals a day and remember them seriously." Do you know how to write? ”
Shen'er nodded, "Yes, Miss forgot, when the eldest lady was the housewife in the past, there was a gentleman in the house who specially invited us subordinates, and many of them did not teach, only taught literacy." Therefore, the slave can write and recognize the words. ”
"That's good, from the night I went home, I wrote it down, three meals a day, as well as snacks and tea, all carefully wrote it down for me."
"What's the use of keeping this in mind?" Shen'er doesn't understand.
Ye Wen didn't say anything, but only told her: "The current life is not easy to come by, we can't live a good and healthy life, we have to let everyone in the house live a life like ours." Well, I'm going to work hard for that day to come sooner rather than later. ”
The water for bathing that night was brought in by Xichun, bucket by bucket, and he was so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist.
When pouring water into the large bathtub, the girl's sleeves slid up, and Ye Wenyan saw that she was wearing a bracelet on her wrist, the condition was not very good for the ladies and ladies, but for a maid, it was already a rare thing.
She thought, maybe Xichun is a first-class maid, and if she doesn't use the silver to subsidize the family, she should be able to afford to save a deposit. But she didn't think that a maid would really be willing to use the money she saved to buy this kind of thing, after all, this bracelet should be enough for ordinary people to eat for more than half a year.
But if you don't buy it yourself, who will give it? Is it the original owner?
She recalled carefully and shook her head slowly, not the original owner, although the original owner was relatively large, but compared to the steady and cautious Xiangdong, she didn't like Xichun's maid very much, so she didn't give Xichun too much reward, at most a few beaded flowers, and clothes that were not worn.
Since it is not the original owner, who else can it be?
"The water is ready, the young lady can take a bath." Hee-chun spoke to her softly.
Ye Wenyan stood up and walked behind the screen, and glanced at Xichun's arm again. Xichun seemed to react, quickly put down his sleeves, and put his hands behind his back.
"Miss wash first, and the slave will retreat." Because she withdrew from the shower the night before, Xichun was going to leave as usual tonight.
But Ye Wenyan pulled her, "You stay and help me wipe my back." As he spoke, he took the initiative to pull up her sleeves, "The sleeves of your dress are too wide, it's not good to get water, I'll pull it up for you." ”
"No, no, no, really." Xichun took two steps back, "The slave maid went and asked Xiangdong to help Miss wipe her back, during the day, the slave maid stroked her hand, and it was not good to touch the water." Wait, Miss, the slave will go and call Xiangdong. With that, he turned around and ran.
Ye Wenyan chuckled, took off his clothes and stepped into the tub.
Xiangdong soon came in, and after washing his hands, he picked up the small scoop by the bathtub and poured it on her shoulder.
In this way, after scooping more than ten times, he finally opened his mouth gently and said to her, "Did Miss see the bracelet that Xichun was wearing?" When she was doing her work at night, she was careful to handle everything with care, and she was not happy to let her help move a small table. I looked at her as if she was protecting her left wrist, for fear of bumping it, so I guessed that Xu was wearing something good. I took the opportunity to shake her hand at dinner, and finally saw the bracelet. I asked her where she came from, and she said that you used to reward her, Miss. ”
Xiangdong pulled back a lock of hair that Ye Wenyan had wrapped around in front of him, "Did Miss reward her with a bracelet before?" ”
Ye Wenyan shook his head, "I have never been rewarded." ”
Xiangdong sighed, "That's what someone else gave." ”
"Who could it be?" She asked Xiangdong, "Have you ever noticed who she is getting close to?" ”
Xiangdong thought for a while and shook his head, "The slave really can't think of it." In the past, although she was flamboyant, loved to dress up, and was more ostentatious, she did not find that she had a special relationship with anyone. She has always followed Miss, because Miss is a celebrity in this house, and only by following Miss is she the most promising. ”
"It's a pity that this time is different from the past, maybe it can be seen that our big house is not good here, so I quickly found a backer."
"Miss......" Xiangdong wanted to speak again, but after a while he still said it, "If Xichun did something wrong, can Miss forgive her once?" The slave maid has been waiting for the young lady with Xichun for so many years, and she still has some affection, and she really can't bear to see her go the wrong way. The slave promised to ask the young lady to forgive her only once, and if she did it again in the future, the slave would never say a word for her. ”
Ye Wenyan turned his head to look at her, "Xiangdong, you have to know that if you make a mistake, once you make a mistake, you will have a second time." Xichun is not a child, children can teach, but she is an adult, and her heart has already been determined, do you think she can teach back? ”
Xiangdong shook his head, "I can't." So the slave and maid said that they only wanted this time, and if she committed it again, then the slave and maid would be considered benevolent and righteous. ”
"Okay, I promise you." Ye Wenyan turned around and sank into the water again, "Go ahead, I don't need to wait for me to bathe." As for Xichun, you should pay attention these days. It's one thing whether she can go the wrong way or not, and we can't let outsiders calculate in our courtyard. ”
Xiangdong put down the water scoop and took a half step back: "The slave has written it down." ”
She was the only one left in the room, and she lifted her hand out of the water.
She didn't want to be seen on her wrist, because there was a silver bell on her wrist, which had been given to her by the most honorable emperor on the continent.
Ye Wenyan still remembered what Shi Liyuan said, if there is something to ask for, just shake the bell.
But what could she do? At least so far, she hasn't encountered any trouble that requires the Emperor's personal intervention to solve.
So this bell is a decoration for her, right? What's more, she didn't really want to see that person again, after all, it was really not an experience worth looking back on.
She lowered her arms, no longer pondering the bell of Shi Liyuan, until she half-got up to reach for her clothes.
There were flowers in her sleeve pockets, and she wanted to change some creamy shower gel so that the bath would be more comfortable.
As a result, I never expected that the flowers were enough, but when I retracted my body, my foot slipped a little, and the whole person fell back into the bath with a thud.
As soon as she slipped and fell, her hand holding the flower tightened, and the flower led to the urging, just as the silver bell was raised.
In the blink of an eye, the red light flickered, and a beautiful man wearing a maple red shirt appeared out of thin air......
