XLVIII. The courtyard is deep
The noble mansion in front of you is wide and deep. Under the white steps of bamboo shadow, the emptiness is lonely, and the door can be full of birds.
You can also do a secluded visit.
The freshly made blue-bottomed gold-painted plaque was already hanging high, and before that, the old door plaque had long been turned into dust.
The house, which has been empty for five years, has been maintained and repaired, but it seems that it was vacated only yesterday, and the laughter and laughter are still there.
It's just diluted, blown away in the wind of the green bamboo forest, and falls under the mud and flower tiles.
Walking slowly from the gate, he didn't dare to make a noise, for fear of disturbing the old master's dream. Bursts of cool breeze, such as light silk, thin and cold. I don't know whose cold bones were cold yesterday, and it is not good to penetrate it until now.
Only I have the most luggage, like a traveler, and like a returnee.
Today, the first people to arrive can enjoy the lonely lamp and the moon.
But I didn't expect that the four words that I sighed at will, the lonely lamp and the lonely moon, turned out to be a prophecy.
But now, I don't feel anything, and when I move to my new home, I'm curious and busy sightseeing and having fun.
"Yushe people, the maid and servant will be transferred over tomorrow, but you have to have some manners!"
I pursed my lips and looked at Lu Youming with a smile: "Then are you still a deer attendant?" I'll help you change to a flower housekeeper, and take advantage of your flower-like wonderful person. ”
He flicked his chin with his index finger, smiled prettyly, and said to me: "That's not necessary, although our family is the head of this mansion, it is feasible not to change the name, unlike some people who can only hide in the Lanqiang Palace, otherwise it will really become the braised rabbit meat in the mouth of Concubine Xiao!" ”
"Hey, I said! How do you know about my joke with Xiao Niangniang? ”
He said proudly: "Don't talk about this, I know how many nights you get up every night." ”
I stepped forward and grabbed him by the neck: "Okay, you pervert, you actually sent someone to spy on me." ”
I now know that the sweet cat flickered in front of the window, and then she didn't dare to appear again.
He pretended to be in pain: "Ahhh ”
I couldn't pinch it anymore, glaring at him with two rows of little white teeth.
He rubbed his neck and muttered, "Besides, it's not my order......"
I quickly interrogated him: "In that case, I was locked up in the Caisi Courtyard for one night, why didn't you come to save me?" ”
His voice immediately became more serious, and he lowered his voice and said: "The eyeliner that was on duty in the violent room for two days turned out to be the careful work of the prince's chamber, and it was only verified later that it has been disposed of. ”
I scoffed: "Heh, you also said to protect me." If I count on your protection, there will be no bones left. ”
He crossed his arms and snorted, "Then, you don't need to help, do you?" The maid assigned to you by the palace bureau, I will ask the coachman to send it back. ”
"Maid?"
"Naturally, now Lord Yu is a scholar in the Seven Grades, how can he not have a maid to call him."
"Who is she?"
My face is light and breezy, but my heart is already happy, and it is a good thing that someone comes to talk to me, and it can satisfy everyone's "giant baby syndrome" to some extent. If you don't have to, who wants to wean, right~
He raised his chin and motioned for me to look forward.
At this moment, we are standing in the open space in front of the main hall, waiting for several coachmen to carry our bags here.
The one who came with the coachman carrying things really had a palace and a eunuch.
When the little eunuch saw Lu Youming, he called affectionately as if he saw his father: "Master, someone brought it to you." ”
There were a lot of movements, and while talking, he pushed Nagong E's arm on the side, signaling people to hurry up and say goodbye.
Fortunately, that Gong'e is an orderly and comfortable temperament, not like fried beans in a pot. Quietly and steadfastly, he gave a deep salute: "The slave has seen the Yushe people, and the deer is always serving." ”
What caught my attention the most was that her eyes were excellent, the kind of good that were blessed. The pink flesh at the corners of the eyes is wrapped in the whites of the pearl-like texture, there is no blood on them, and there is no dullness in the eye circles and Yin Tang, but it is the brightest place on the whole face.
I also saw that her body was slightly stocky, her body was tight, and her skeleton was not slender and slender. It seems that he is a person who sleeps well and has a generous heart.
There is another pair of smiling lips, the corners of the mouth are naturally raised, full of joy, and there should be a side that can say and laugh.
I said briskly: "Sister doesn't have to be formal, you and I are not much different in grade." ”
She had a humble attitude: "The name of the slave and maid is Winter Rest, and the name of the slave and maid can be called directly." ”
I helped her to her feet, and found her name very interesting, so I laughed and said to the people:
"This winter is dormant, isn't spring coming...... Sister Winter Rest is our auspicious rui, we have to let her drink a few more drinks tonight! ”
There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are kings.
That night, the four of us set up a banquet in the main hall of the mansion and had a drink. In a few days, the main driver arrived, and in this hall, I, the pawn, should return to the second seat.
At the beginning of the winter break, I didn't dare to sit down, but I only said that I was afraid that I would trespass, and I couldn't wear my death in vain, so I finally sat down.
The food is fragrant, the wine is in full swing, and it is the time of nonsense.
Lu Youming told us about the "ghosts" that he said during the day.
The predecessor of this mansion was originally the house of the first right minister. Five years ago, when Emperor Taishang Chan was in the emperor's time, the right minister was imprisoned.
The four major crimes of forming a party for personal gain, perverting the law for bribes, selling officials and selling officials, and secretly colluding with thieves were sentenced to death by hanging, and all the female dependents were sold into slavery or confiscated in the court, and all their family property was confiscated.
"Guess what's copied?" Lu Youming asked me babblingly.
"All kinds of jewelry, gold and silver, and pepper that can be used as currency." I shook my head and said that I was already in a slightly drunken state.
"Well, in addition to these, there is a large amount of calamine stored in the storehouse, which is very strange, and it fills three rooms, not to mention thousands of stones."
I wondered, "Isn't this just a medicinal herb?" It is often used for external application, which can treat urticaria wheals and relieve itching. ”
"That's what I'm talking about, although this thing is worth a little money, but it doesn't seem to be of much use."
Dong Xiu, who was listening silently, took over the conversation: "It seems that many fat powder merchants will also add such a material, which can make the skin white and shiny." ”
When the words came to my lips, I suddenly forgot what kind of heavy metal calamine belonged to, so I could only shake my head and say to her: "You must not use this formula indiscriminately, the initial effect is very good, but after a long time, the skin is getting worse." ”
She was taken aback: "Yushe people, is this true?" ”
I got drunk and put my arm around her shoulder: "Sister, just call me Xiao Su in private." What I said is naturally true! ”
She smiled warmly: "That's right, that's right, the little adult is the best." ”
Lu Youming was there to feed, "Don't you listen to ghost stories?" ”
"Listen, you keep talking!"
So he pretended to be mysterious again and started the following story.
The once thriving Right Prime Minister's Mansion fell overnight, and his descendants withered.
Originally, there were seven grandchildren in Fuzhong, five boys and two girls. However, the house leak happened to rain overnight, and these seven children, from swaddling clothes to weak crowns, died one after another during the period from the imprisonment of the first right minister to the execution, and all died in accidents.
I chimed in: "Hahaha, you're an accident, right?" ”
The atmosphere of terror was interrupted.
Lu Youming waved his hand: "Don't make trouble, I haven't entered the palace at that time!" ”
Well, the story continues.
At that time, the housekeepers who had the best faces in the house were all arrested and interrogated, and the young maids were taken away and sold. There are only a few porter servants left, and there is an old Feng who fights more.
No matter how middle the family road is, the work that the people in the house should have cannot be missing. That night, Lao Feng, who was on duty, saw Sixth Young Master Sun sneaking out of the backyard by himself, playing with a thin flower shovel in his hand.
Lao Feng angrily scolded the lazy women in the backyard, who couldn't even look at a three-year-old doll, and her upright appearance made a passing porter snicker.
I also feel sorry for this child, after all, all six parents were locked up in prison for a while, and their life and death were uncertain.
He put down the hammer and hugged the little guy who had begun to play with the mud.
was coaxing and teasing, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and then a purple sparkling lightning was slashing into the courtyard, deafening, and the frightened old Feng's hand trembled, so he didn't hug it anymore and fell the child.
But this fall was terrible, and the flower shovel in Sun Liugongzi's hand actually poked and poked into his mouth, penetrated the child's small throat, and pierced out of the back of his neck.
The little boy didn't even have time to cry, his hands and feet flicked a few times, and he drowned in a pool of blood.
Lao Feng couldn't stand at that time.
Then the pouring rain poured down, and merged with the pool of blood, and the blood swam away like red silk in water.
Perhaps when people think of death and are sure of death, they have strength again.
Lao Feng immediately cheered up, stood up, hit the wall with all his strength, and died on the spot......
The people of this house seem to be able to catch up with all the accidents.
What's even more bizarre is that since then, according to legend, every rainy night with thunder and lightning, Lao Feng's soul will go back and forth a few times around the place where Sixth Young Master Sun died, and then disappear silently.
Hearing this, we already have a chill behind us.
I asked, "Where are you wandering around?" ”
Lu Youming raised his chin and pouted: "Oh, it's outside." ”
Yes??????
The three of us in the audience exclaimed in unison.
He pointed again, as a supplement: "Next to the flowerbed on the right, the clearing, and as for the brain-stained wall, the far right is." ”
Frightened and impatiently curious, we looked at the place he was pointing. But suddenly a gust of wind blew on the porch at the door, and with a whirl, the two big red lanterns hanging high suddenly went out.
