Article 163 The practice of opening the altar

When Song Yuemei heard the prestige, she saw Zhou Susu coming in from outside the courtyard in a plain white body.

As soon as she entered the room, she saw that Song Yuemei's face was not good, and Zhou Susu looked concerned, "Oops! Aunt Song, what's wrong? Why is her face so unsightly, seeing that the second lady is not around, Aunt Song has to take care of herself. ”

Song Yuemei sneered in her heart, but her face still maintained the same kindness as before, "It seems that the third aunt is planning to go, since the third aunt is going to go, then she will bring her mind with her for me." ”

Zhou Susu smiled slightly, "Aunt Song, where is this, the eldest lady used to treat us well, but now it's just to take a look at the eldest lady's rituals, and then burn some paper money for the eldest lady, if Aunt Song doesn't go, I'm afraid the people in the house will have to guess more." ”

"Guess?" Song Yuemei frowned when she heard this, "What guess?" ”

Zhou Susu glanced at Lingxiang, then stepped forward to Song Yuemei's ear, and said in a low voice: "Recently, many girls in this mansion have said that they have dreamed of the eldest lady." He also said that the eldest lady died strangely, as if she were Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Looks like it has something to do with you. ”

Song Yuemei raised her eyes sharply at Zhou Susu, and shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! What kind of girl in the courtyard is chewing the root of her tongue like this! Be careful which day was plucked out of the tongue! ”

Song Yuemei's big reaction was naturally expected by Zhou Susu, but she came here today, not just to say this to Song Yuemei.

"Yes, what the concubine heard about it, she also ordered the girls below not to spread it again, but somehow, the rumors are getting worse and worse, no, the eldest lady just thought, do a magic thing for the eldest lady," Zhou Susu said, just looked at Song Yuemei calmly.

Song Yuemei pondered for a moment, then stood up, "Speaking of which, the eldest lady does treat us well, we should go and put incense on the eldest lady." ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Reika.

Lingxiang hurriedly stepped forward to help Song Yuemei over.

Zhou Susu looked at Song Yuemei's face, and couldn't help but smile in her heart.

She wanted to know if Song Yuemei would be able to be so calm later.

"Miss, the slave maid and Xiao Ju have already brought the Taoist priest to the courtyard of the eldest lady, and the courtyard has been arranged according to the Taoist priest's words," Ah Li had just returned from the courtyard of the eldest lady, and saw that her young lady had already changed her clothes, so she stepped forward to take a piece of outer clothes.

Lu Guanlan looked at the sky, "I don't know, if it will rain today, if it wets the Taoist dojo, then what should it be." ”

Although Lu Guanlan said this, his expression was very indifferent, as if this was just an unintentional casual remark.

Ah Li also raised her head to look out of the courtyard, looked at the wind, and said: "It's really getting colder and colder these days, Miss don't dress thinly anymore." ”

Lu Guanlan retracted his gaze and smiled, "Let's go, come to think of it, the third aunt has already arrived with Aunt Song." ”

In her previous life, she was used to staying in the cold palace for a long time, and this kind of coldness was really nothing to her.

Speaking of which, she is also quite glad that in addition to the nightmares and heartaches at this time, she did not fall into the problem of rheumatism and chills.

In this way, she is also a fortune teller.

My mother's yard was not far from her peach orchard, and she didn't walk a few steps to the gate of the yard.

Coincidentally, just as he was about to step into the courtyard door, he saw Zhou Susu and Song Yuemei coming slowly not far away.

Lu Guanlan simply stopped and waited at the gate of the courtyard, and when the two of them approached, Lu Guanlan smiled and said, "Aunt Song can come, but I really didn't expect it." ”

Song Yuemei sneered in her heart.

Haven't thought of it? I never thought that I could make such rumors come out of the house? Lu Guanlan is really getting better and better at pretending.

Although she thought so in her heart, Song Yuemei's face was kind, and she said: "The eldest lady's words make the concubine body incomprehensible, today is the Midyear Festival, and the concubine body is just thinking about it, to put incense on the pillar for the eldest lady." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled, "Yes, Aunt Song used to talk about her mother's goodness, didn't even the second sister say that her mother treated her very well?" Speaking of which, it's a pity that the second sister couldn't come today. ”

Song Yuemei tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Jingzhu is still grounded now, but he doesn't dare to leave the courtyard without permission, even that heart is not as daring as the eldest lady." ”

Lu Guanlan didn't mention Jingzhu, but as soon as Jingzhu was mentioned, Song Yuemei remembered why Jingzhu was grounded in the courtyard that day.

Thinking like this, Song Yuemei became more and more atmospheric.

Lu Guanlan saw that Song Yuemei's face was becoming more and more unable to hide, and he couldn't help but want to laugh.

In the past two days, I have tossed enough at the beginning of the conversation, I have been happy for so long, this is finally in front of her, how can I still make Song Yuemei happy.

"Miss, the Taoist chief asked Miss if she was going to open the altar?" At this time, Xiao Ju in the courtyard ran out.

Only then did Lu Guanlan turn his head and say, "Tell the Taoist Chief, open the altar." ”

Xiao Ju stepped back in response.

Lu Guanlan looked at Zhou Susu and Song Yuemei on the side and made a gesture of please.

Zhou Susu bowed slightly at Lu Guanlan and took the lead in stepping into the courtyard, but Song Yuemei did not take a step.

Lu Guanlan turned his head to look at Song Yuemei again, "Aunt Song, please." ”

Song Yuemei glanced at Lu Guanlan, and followed Zhou Susu into the courtyard.

Lu Guanlan was the last to step into the courtyard, and then turned his head and said to the girl guarding the door: "Let a few grandmothers take care of the yard, and no one is allowed to go out." ”

The maid bowed, "The slave knows." ”

Lu Guanlan explained that everything was arranged, and then he turned around with satisfaction.

Today, there is only one thing she wants to do, and it's simple. It's just that I don't know if Song Yuemei can survive today.

In the courtyard, the altar has been arranged, and white flags have been hung around the courtyard.

In the middle of the altar, there was a Taoist leader, and there were three Taoist children around him.

The three Dao boys had words in their mouths, while the Dao Chiefs held a long sword and danced wildly in the air.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the altar, the Taoist chief in the altar happened to turn around.

As soon as she saw the appearance of this Taoist priest, Song Yuemei was stunned.

That long face seemed to be the same, as if he had never seen it before, and he had never known Song Yuemei, but he was just doing his own Dharma in a proper manner.

Lingxiang watched Song Yuemei's face change drastically, and she couldn't hide the panic in her expression, so she hurriedly approached Song Yuemei's ear and whispered, "Auntie! ”

Song Yuemei looked stunned, but she didn't come back to her senses immediately, just stared blankly at the Taoist priest on the altar.

At this time, I saw Lu Guanlan suddenly pacing slowly beside Song Yuemei, and said softly: "Aunt Song, do you feel familiar?" ”

Song Yuemei was stunned, and turned her head to look at Lu Guanlan suddenly, "What does the eldest lady mean by this?" ”

Lu Guanlan smiled slightly, even with a smile in his eyes, "It seems that Aunt Song's memory is not very good, even I remember that during my mother's funeral, this Taoist chief has been to the mourning hall in person." ”

Song Yuemei's hand holding the handkerchief trembled a little, and her face couldn't help but tremble, but she said: "The concubine remembers, this Dao Chang was invited by the old man to enter the door, but I don't know, how does the eldest lady know where this Dao Chang is." ”

Lu Guanlan smiled.

"Aunt Song is very curious, right? Do you feel that I really have some magical powers, how can I even invite this Taoist master who has been sent away to come back," said Lu Guanlan and looked at the Taoist priest in the altar again, "I am also more curious, what do I know from this Taoist master's mouth." ”

Song Yuemei's slave maid maintained a calm and calm spirit at this time, and she held Lingxiang's hand tightly with one hand, and glanced at Zhou Susu, who came with her.

At this moment, Zhou Susu had already walked far away and was sitting under the porch in the courtyard.

Seeing Lu Guanlan approaching Song Yuemei, although it was a little distance, it was also true, and the unnaturalness on Song Yuemei's face.

Song Yuemei also saw that Zhou Susu was looking at herself at this time, and it was this son who reacted, today, it was Lu Guanlan, a cheap hoof, and Zhou Susu, a slut, set up a game.

Thinking of this, Song Yuemei was busy thinking of using excuses to be unwell, so she could retreat first.

Who knows, before he could speak, he heard Lu Guanlan say: "Aunt Song, don't worry, today's Dao Chang can say, I don't know what the opening of the altar will cause, so I asked someone to seal the courtyard early, think about it, now only flies can fly out." ”

Song Yuemei gritted her teeth and quietly shook Lingxiang's hand.

Lingxiang is also smart, she immediately understood, and saluted Lu Guanlan: "Miss, the slave and maid remembered that there were important things at home today, so I wanted to send Aunt Song here, so I went home, but now I am afraid that I can't delay it any longer." ”

Lu Guanlan still had a smile in his eyes, "Really? What's going on in this house? I remember, Lingxiang, your mother, used to be an old lady who was used to doing things in front of Aunt Song, why didn't she seem to have seen her for a long time? ”

As soon as she heard this, Lingxiang's legs and stomach were a little weak, and she hurriedly said: "My mother is very old, and Aunt Song thinks that she is an old man, so she will let her go back to farming and weaving, and she can have a good rest." ”

Lu Guanlan laughed even more when he heard this, "Lingxiang, I don't understand what you say." Is this kind of field weaving work better than serving Aunt Song in this house? Could it be that serving Aunt Song is more tiring than this kind of field weaving? ”

Lingxiang hurriedly waved her hand, "The slave didn't mean thatΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Slaves are just Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"

At this time, I heard Song Yuemei say: "Okay! As he spoke, he looked at Lu Guanlan, "Miss, since Lingxiang said that she wants to go home, is it possible, is it possible that our Lu Mansion will forcibly keep people?" ”

Lu Guanlan said: "I didn't say that, I'm just curious, what happened to Lingxiang's family, if you need to see a doctor and ask for medicine, for Lingxiang's sake to serve her aunt, I asked Ah Li to bring the sick people in Lingxiang's family." If there is a death in the family, then it is just right, and the Taoist chief will do the ritual. ”

When Lingxiang heard this, her face suddenly changed.

Song Yuemei's eyes were about to pop out, and she said sharply: "Miss! That's not right! ”

The smile in Lu Guanlan's eyes suddenly changed a little, and his eyes also changed, becoming more and more gloomy.

At this time, a gust of wind blew, causing Song Yuemei to shiver.

I heard Lu Guanlan say quietly: "Aunt Song, look behind you." ”
