Chapter 114: Mandarin Duck Pillow (4)
"But do you see anything strange?"
"This pillow is almost exactly the same as the one placed in Miss Zhou's coffin, and it should come from the same hands."
"You mean, the pillow that Cousin Su was holding before she died was the same as the one that Miss Zhou was buried with? How is this possible? Although Miss Zhou's family also had a marriage contract with Zhang Yun this week, this marriage did not work out after all, and this pillow ...... This pillow can't be bought from the same embroidery shop, right? ”
"It's still possible for Cousin Su to buy a pillow and go back, but Miss Zhou won't. Although the Zhou family is not a wealthy family, there are a lot of servants and maids in the family, and this kind of close-up thing, even if Miss Zhou doesn't do it herself, it will be Zhang Luo by her mother-in-law and maids. Do you think the Zhou family will use a pillow they bought for Miss Zhou as a funeral object? ”
"According to common sense, it is somewhat unlikely, but there are exceptions to everything, maybe this week's family is not good at female workers."
"It's not impossible, so you still need to check the matter of this pillow yourself."
"Check again?"
"Isn't it your duty to find clues?" Xing Ruyi said, carefully cutting the pillow that was taken out of Cousin Su's tomb. "Sure enough, no, it seems that the hair in the tomb is not innocent."
"Hair? You mean, the hair in the tomb came from this pillow! ”
"I also stumbled upon it." Xing Ruyi put the pillow aside and cleaned his hands: "When I checked Miss Zhou's funeral belongings, I felt that the pillow under her head was a little special, so I took it out and took a look." This look really made me see something unusual. ”
"What do you see?"
"Don't ask me yet, look at the pillow for yourself, there's something out of the ordinary."
"A pillow is just that, and there is something out of the ordinary." After all, Lin Hu was not idle, and picked up the pillow that had just been put aside by Xing Ruyi. "The color of this pillow seems to be too bright. I've seen some bridal pillows, but the color seems to be lighter than this. As for the fabric, I can't tell, I'm a big man, and I haven't studied this kind of thing. However, the bird on this pillow is very beautifully embroidered, and from a distance, it looks like the real thing. The craftsmanship of this embroidery girl is quite good. ”
"That's not a bird, it's a mandarin duck."
"Aren't mandarin ducks birds?" Lin Hu showed a confused look: "It's just that the birds next to him are all flying in the sky, and they are swimming in the water." This should be considered a waterfowl, and it is two waterfowl side by side, which seems to have a good relationship. ”
"Only envy the mandarin duck but not the immortal, this mandarin duck was originally a pair. It's just a female here, and it's just a male over there. ”
"Affection is still husband and wife birds. Well, my dignified Yong'an catcher is not as happy as two water birds. ”
Xing Ruyi glanced at Lin Hu: "In addition, have you found anything else?" ”
"Something else?" Lin Hu glanced at the pillow again: "The Manchu Communist Party is such a big pillow, and you can still see the flowers." ”
"Look closely at the mandarin duck's eyes."
"Black and white are distinct, and the embroidery is beautiful."
"Besides being pretty?"
"It's still pretty."
"You can't teach your son, if you change Liu Sheng, I'm afraid you'll already see it."
"That's, don't look at it as a fast catcher, in terms of carefulness, I'm really not as good as him. Don't worry about me, tell me what you found on this pillow. I can't even see it left and right. ”
"The mandarin ducks on this pillow are embroidered with silk threads one by one, and they are indeed embroidered lifelike. In your words, the embroidery is beautiful. But the eyes of this pair of mandarin ducks are not embroidered with silk thread, but hair. ”
"Hair can also be used as silk thread, doesn't this embroidery girl want to save money for the master's family?"
Xing Ruyi almost fell off a black line.
"That's a different idea."
"Are you praising me or scolding me?"
"Parents of the body's hair and skin, who do you think would use hair as silk thread in order to save money?"
"That's just as well. Except for those who became monks, none of them would cut their hair casually. ”
"If the hair only appears on one mandarin duck pillow, it may be an accident, if it is on both pillows, it is not just a coincidence. In addition, I also found a strand of hair in Miss Zhou's funeral pillow, and it was hidden in the pillow. ”
Lin Hu rubbed his arm: "Hide your hair in the pillow?" Why does it sound a little awkward to me? Not only is it awkward, but it is also a little chilling. If you think about it, this pillow is for sleeping, but there is a strand of hair sewn into it. Even if the hair is my own, it feels a little weird. ”
"Only in one case doesn't make people feel strange."
"Which case?"
"Do you know what a married couple is? The so-called married couple means that on the day of marriage, the respected mother will take a strand of hair from the head of the bride and groom, and then tie them together with an auspicious red rope. Usually, this hair is to be properly collected, but there are also places where this hair is placed on the wedding night of both men and women. Guess where the hair would go? ”
"Under the pillow?"
"Yes, just under the pillow. Although I have never seen it with my own eyes, I guess it means to grow old together. ”
"And ...... this pillow?"
"If I expected, this pillow should be embroidered by Miss Zhou herself, as for whose hair is hidden in this pillow, I can't guess."
"Who else can it be, it's nothing more than Miss Zhou's own one."
"Originally, I thought the same thing. But after hearing from you about the situation in that tomb, I think it's a little unlikely. Miss Zhou has just died, and even if there is still a soul left in the world, she can't make such a big move. At least, there was something strange about the hair hidden in Cousin Su's pillow. Let me ask you, are the servants and maids who served Miss Zhang and Cousin Su still there? ”
"I didn't hear that the Su family pawned them. This Su family was originally a small family, and it was not easy to get the things of the Zhang family, and it was expected that they would not send people out casually. Rest in peace, I'll inquire. ”
Lin Hu is a straightforward character, wherever he speaks, this thing will follow. As soon as he finished speaking, before Xing Ruyi could react, the person had already rushed out.
"What do you think?"
As soon as Lin Hu left, the fox appeared in the room. Xing Ruyi didn't need to look back, he knew that the one standing behind him must be a fox, so he opened his mouth and asked.
"It's really not Miss Zhou's hair hidden in Cousin Su's pillow."
"If it's not Miss Zhou's, who will it be? I have a few candidates in mind, but when I think about it, I think it's a little unlikely. This sews hair into a pillow that the average person really can't think of. ”
"If you can't think of it, don't think about it." The fox circled her half after punishing Ruyi: "I have probably found out most of this matter, and I will leave the rest to them to do." It's good to catch fast, you can't just shout good, look good. ”
"Just know you're not idle. Tell me what you know. You also know my temperament, if you don't know it, you won't be able to eat or sleep well. ”
"It's because I know that I don't dare to be idle." The fox lightly shook Ruyi's shoulder, made her turn her face, and turned to herself: "You promised me that when this matter is over, you will leave Yong'an with me." ”
"If it's what I promised you, I'll do it right and left. Don't worry, just wait for this matter, I will leave Yong'an with you, and then find a place where the birds are singing and fragrant, and take care of our little fox. ”
"Not in a hurry to go back to Luoyang?"
"I'm going back, but I'm not in a hurry at this moment." Xing Ruyi leaned on the fox's chest: "I always have a feeling that the closer you are to Luoyang, the more things will happen." This feeling made me feel a little flustered inexplicably, as if those things from many years ago were repeating themselves. Fox, you say, was it a mistake for us to leave Qingqiu in the first place? ”
The fox hugged Xing Ruyi tightly, lowered his head and kissed her lightly on the corner of her forehead: "Raise the fetus with peace of mind, and leave other things to me." Whether your hunch is true or not, I'll help you block it. ”
"I know, it's just that you are my husband, and I am your lady. I don't want to bother you anymore because of my willfulness. ”
"What kind of stupid thing to say, since they are husband and wife, how can they not be involved. Besides, I've had enough of those dull days. It's with you, and I feel that this day has some taste. ”
"You, a character like an immortal, but because of a little woman like me, you fell into the mortal dust, and you still followed and provoked these messy things."
"Although the gods are good, they are not as real as the fireworks in the world." The fox hooked his lips and smiled a very demagogic smile: "I think it's good now." There's you, and our children. ”
"I think it's good, too." Xing Ruyi hugged the fox's waist tightly: "If I had to choose again, I would still choose to meet you, and then come to Shengtang with you to experience these rights and wrongs together." Although the process is a bit painful, I am willing to endure it because of you. ”
"Not anymore, we'll all be fine in the future." The fox lowered his head and touched the corner of Xing Ruyi's forehead again: "I promise!" ”
"I believe in you!"
Xing Ruyi stood on tiptoe and dropped a kiss on the fox's lips. When the toes fall, the smile is as bright and moving as spring.
Behind Xing Ruyi, the mandarin duck pillow moved slightly. The mandarin duck on the pillow twisted its neck stiffly, and then turned its dark eyes to Xing Ruyi and the fox. The two pairs of eyeballs embroidered with hair became darker and darker, and there was a faint evil spirit.
