Ten thousand sounds are silent, and the moon is as cool as water.

In the dark night, a faint light suddenly appeared.

"Ahh

The little guy with the lantern sneezed hard.

He lifted his sleeves and scolded as he wiped his nose, "What the...... In the middle of the night, if you don't pull it early or late, you have to wait for Lao Tzu to come out and grab the pit...... it! ”

He scolded all the way, and before he knew it, he walked outside a courtyard wall.

"Click...... Click......"

There was a sound of footsteps in my ears.

The little guy only thought he had heard it wrong, and didn't pay much attention to it, but after walking a few more steps, he realized that the voice was getting closer and closer.

He suddenly stopped, turned back sharply and shouted, "What person?!" ”

He was answered only by the rustle of leaves in the cold wind.

The little guy frowned, looked around vigilantly, and suddenly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it out with great speed.

"Meow!" In the darkness, a dark shadow flashed in front of his eyes, and he sprang out in an instant.

The little guy suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and spat on the ground hatefully, "Damn it...... I'm scared to death! ”

As he was cursing, a cold wind blew - the candle flame in the lantern was blown on and off, and a swaying figure was reflected on the ground.

Somehow, the little guy looked at his own shadow on the ground, and suddenly felt a furry in his heart, and was about to leave quickly-

"Click...... Click......"

The sound of footsteps that had disappeared suddenly rang in my ears again.

The sound was getting louder and faster......

The color of blood receded from the little boy's face, and his eyes widened in horror—there was nothing but mottled shadows.

There was a sudden muffled "poof" sound in the lantern, and it went out.

Everything was once again shrouded in darkness.

The footsteps were getting closer and clearer—at last, the sound stopped in front of him, and it didn't move.

The little guy stood still, as if he was frozen...... He could even feel the sound of the other man's breathing, and the eerie aura was blowing on his face......

- Dancing in Chinese

"Ghost, ghost, !!"

A terrible cry suddenly sounded in the peaceful courtyard, like a sharp knife cutting through the dark night sky, echoing in the silent night for a long time......

………………

Du Rongzhi has been very busy lately.

Song Zixun asked people to buy a two-entry house in Shanyin County, although it was not very big, but because the original owner was a wealthy businessman with good taste, he built the house very elegantly. The furniture was readily available, but because the rich merchant later took his family to Shandong to do business, he sold the house cheaply.

Du Rongzhi fell in love with this place as soon as she came - although it was not as spacious and magnificent as the former Guogong Mansion, it was warm and comfortable. And the most rare thing is that this place belongs completely to their family of three - it is their home.

Du Rongzhi only feels that she has never been comfortable and happy, and she seems to have endless energy every day, from the layout of the house to the selection of window screens, she can't wait to give birth to three heads and six arms, and do everything herself.

In the end, Song Zixun couldn't look at it, lest she continue to toss like this, and it would be easy to raise the meat and toss it again, so she made a decision in person - while the general direction was according to Du Rongzhi's intentions, other details were as long as Mama An and them considered it.

Although Du Rongzhi had some complaints about this decision, she could only helplessly comply with her thinking of her not very competitive body.

…… In the blink of an eye, when everything was cleaned up, more than half a month had passed.

On the other hand, Song Zixun also gradually got started with the errands in the yamen: Du Rongzhi sent him out every morning after breakfast, and when she came back in the evening, she waited for him in the courtyard with her daughter like an ordinary woman, and her days were more regular and comfortable than when she was in the Hanlin Courtyard before.

Up and down the house, there is a happy and harmonious place everywhere, and the years are quiet and stable.

…… Early that morning, Song Zixun was sent to the yamen, and Du Rongzhi went back to sleep.

Now that there are no elders in charge, Song Zixun doesn't know more and more about moderation, and last night he made trouble for the third watch...... Du Rongzhi couldn't understand it: they all ate the same food and slept in the same bed, why did he wake up in the morning and be vigorous and energetic, but she was like she couldn't wake up, she just hated to be in the bed every day......

This time, I slept until almost noon.

Du Rongzhi had lunch, and when she saw that the sun was still very good outside, she thought that she had never gone out to shop since she came to this Shanyin County, so on a whim, she entrusted all the affairs of the family to Mama An, so she led Qinghe to go shopping with Yuanyuan.

In fact, if you want to talk about this woman's hobbies, there are only a few kinds. Du Rongzhi bought a few local illustrations and local fashionable books in the bookstore, and after shopping, he entered a jewelry shop called "Wanfu Jinlou" on Kangping Street.

If you talk about the beauty of the style and the exquisite workmanship, the jewelry shop in Shanyin County is not to say that compared with the first treasure line in the capital, Debao Xuan, it is any gold and silver shop in Beijing that has a prosperous business. However, in addition to being able to buy a large number of high-quality jewelry raw materials from foreign merchants at a lower price every year, the jewelry here has added a lot of exotic customs to the design, which is a little more interesting than the jewelry in the capital.

In particular, this Wanfu Golden Building can be said to be the most famous in the entire Shanyin County. It is said that there are the best masters in the county, the best jewelry, and it is very sought after by the county's broad ladies and ladies - if anyone does not have a few "Wanfu Golden Building" things, they are embarrassed to greet other ladies when they go to the banquet.

Although Du Rongzhi is a newcomer, she has long heard of the name of "Wanfu Golden Building" from the girls in the house. Although she herself has brought a lot of jewelry from Beijing, but this jewelry is to women, just like women are to men, there are always too few and not too much, so Du Rongzhi also plans to buy a few pieces here today - when she accompanies Song Zixun to go out for entertainment in the future, she can also take it out to "side".

Speaking of socializing...... It seems that I was in a daze last night and heard Song Zixun say in my ear, what kind of foreigner are you going to go to for a banquet when you get off the yamen today...... But she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes, and she couldn't hear very clearly......

Du Rongzhi rubbed her sour waist quietly, and was secretly slandering in her heart, but her eyes were suddenly attracted by a hairpin in the tray.

The hairpin head was a round jade rabbit with its legs perched on a golden cloud. Its forelimbs clumsily clung to a jade pestle, diligently pounding medicine, and a pair of ruby eyes sparkled in the sun.

Du Rongzhi looked very interesting, and was about to pick it up to take a closer look, when suddenly a slender jade hand reached out from the side and picked up the hairpin one step ahead of her.

"How much does this hairpin cost? I want it. ”
