Chapter 4 The Tip of China for Large-scale Symphonies
"Miss, I'll serve you to dress" Qing Yue, who was guarding the bedside, woke up when she saw Qiaozhi, and shook off a long white dress embroidered with light blue peacock tail feathers in her hand, and the translucent tulle was layered on top of each other, and the rings were jingled, and there were chains made of three or two small gems.
This was the original owner's favorite piece of clothing before they got married, for no other reason than because it was what she wore when she and Shi Yao first made up their minds.
At that time, the autumn breeze was cold and bleak, and she only had time to put on her lips, so she secretly ran to the back mountain to meet Shi Yao. Jingling all the way, the golden leaves on the ground rustle when stepped on.
"Shi Yao!"
The man in blue in the distance turned his head when he heard the sound, his always gentle eyes filled with a faint surprise, and a touch of pale red climbed up the man's fair face, and he ran towards her.
In the blink of an eye, things are not people.
"Let's put it away" Qiaozhi came back to her senses from the memory of the original owner, shook her head, and told Qingyue to change her into a lighter dress.
"Miss, you lower your head a little" Qiu Yue is holding a simple bun for Qiaozhi, which is a popular girly style nowadays.
"Don't you have to comb a woman's head?" Qiaozhi lowered her shoulders slightly and relaxed, although she followed the local customs, but just now the two of them were still not used to serving her to dress and freshen up, and her whole body was stiff to death.
"Huh?" Qiu Yue was stunned, and then smiled: "What are you doing combing that old woman's head at home?" In my opinion, Miss, you still need to bring a few more step shakers."
Qingyue also accosted on the side, and took a few steps to make a gesture, with the posture of using her head as a display table.
Qiao Zhi smiled, these two maids have been with the original owner since they were children, and it is more appropriate for them to come not so much as the master and servant. It's just that... If they know that the original owner has long since disappeared, and the shell is just an impostor, they don't know how to feel.
After dressing and grooming, Qiaozhi went to the dining room for breakfast accompanied by two maids.
Last night, I was distracted by the bitter mood of the original owner, and I just wanted to end the battle soon. After calming down today, I realized that this Yu Mansion is not ordinary.
She first walked on the gravel road to bypass one or two flowers, then along the wooden corridor past a small pond planted with lotus flowers and koi fish, and finally passed a small pavilion for viewing... That's just... Out of their own yard.
The place where Qiaozhi lives is called Yundaiju, there are flowers, birds and ponds, the scenery is exquisite and atmospheric, it is one of the best places in Yufu, even the original owner's brother who has great military achievements does not live so well, it is enough to see the favor of the original owner.
Out of Yundaiju to the west, is the courtyard of Yunzhi "Tuo Courtyard", and further forward is the main room and dining room where Mrs. Yu lives. These courtyards are connected to the houses by verandahs, and the vermilion pillars are carved with intricate patterns, and you can smell the good smell when you get close, which is the best agarwood.
Yu Fu is also very interesting. Although the courtyard as a whole is luxurious and high-grade, the military attache does not pay attention to the rules, and the courtyard where Yunzhi Qiaozhi and their brother live are all named by themselves and hung on the plaque.
Although Yu's father is a martial artist, he also knows that this name is not very good, and it is not suitable for a girl's house, but Yunzhi has been raised like a boy since he was a child, and his father was so angry that he couldn't cry for a long time, so he simply followed her.
In order to prevent Yu's father from changing his hexagram, Xiao Yunzhi hurriedly sent someone to make a plaque and hung up the three words "Tuo Yuan" written by himself.
Well.... How to say it... Qiaozhi looked at the scribbled and crooked plaque and choked speechlessly, and could only say... It wasn't a bad decision to hang a cloud branch with a big red flower on it...
"What are you looking at?" before the person arrived, Yun Zhi ran over angrily and grabbed Qiaozhi's ears: "Why didn't you see enough when you were a child, you still watch it, you still watch it, and you want to laugh at me again if you haven't seen me for a year."
"No" Qiaozhi smiled with crooked eyebrows, covered her ears and begged her sister for mercy, "Let's go to dinner, mother.. Mother is still waiting for us."
"Hmph"
Yun Zhi shook her head, and led her maid in front of her righteous and awe-inspiring manner.
Actually, it's not bad to have a sister. Qiaozhi followed behind and thought with a smile, at first she thought that her sister and mother couldn't shout out, but it didn't seem that difficult to say it.
Walking through one verandah after another, Qiaozhi's legs were sore, and she finally arrived at the dining room.
Yu's mother had been sitting on the main seat for a long time, and there were more than a dozen delicate side dishes in front of her. It's not big, but it's delicate. Qiuyue pulled out a chair for Qiaozhi, and after Qiaozhi sat down, she blessed Yu's mother and went down with Qingyue.
The side dishes in front of him were bubbling with a curling aroma, which made the pretty branches swallow saliva. "A Bite of Food" goes straight to the online single loop.
"Okay, let's eat" Yun Zhi was angry when she saw that she was not interested in showing off as if she was going to drool, how long had she been gone, and she had forgotten all the reserved things she had pampered before, and she didn't know how much she had suffered in Yanling, she deserved it!
Pretty Eda stretched out her sinful chopsticks to the soup bag closest to her. Carefully bite into the thin skin, and the warm juice spreads in the mouth, carrying the aroma of meat.
Wow puff pedal ~ The food soundtrack on the tip of the tongue was urgently changed to a symphony.
refreshing
Pretty Eda never thought that eating would be such a happy thing.
Mother Yu watched her finish eating two or three soup dumplings, and sandwiched five chopsticks, six chopsticks and seven chopsticks side dishes, and then said: "The ancestral hall is already being repaired, and you take the maid back to bring your uncle's tablet back, don't go back to this Yanling, stay at home for a few years." ”
"Okay." Qiaozhi nodded kindly, anyway, it was a cheap deceased husband, it didn't matter where it was. But... When Qiaozhi wiped her mouth with a silk handkerchief, she suddenly remembered a big event.
The original owner did not tell the truth.
It is true that the cheap husband died, but the original owner came back from grabbing the medicine and did not see the corpse. Only two Taoist priests and a group of neighboring vendors gathered around her door.
The neighbor was a fat woman with a loud voice, and when she saw her coming, she was the first to shout. said that she did not abide by the way of women, and her husband was neighbors, and she would cause her husband to be sick when she did evil earlier. Now they are all in the street, worried that they are infected with a strange disease.
Immediately after that, the Taoist priest stepped forward, first politely bowed his head, and then pointed out in a loud voice that Shi Yao was infected with a sudden illness and was afraid of ghosts, so he died and was taken to the Taoist hall to deal with it, and the specific results of the disposal will be informed to her later.
Everyone was pointing around Qiaozhi, and she was still carrying the medicine bag she had pawned with a hairpin, but she didn't know who to fry it for.
Half an hour later, the Taoist sent a message to report that Shi Yao had collided with Huang Xian before, and now the body was soft but not stiff, and he was afraid of abnormal changes, so he could not be buried, and he had to be sent to the deep mountains to overgrow.
The Taoist boy who came to deliver the letter only brought the clothes that Shi Yao wore before his death, and his face was cold, and he asked Qiaozhi to be a well-dressed mound and miss it.
She put away her clothes, her head was not clear, and her grief had not yet spread. was spit on the corner of the skirt by the child of the fat aunt's family.
"Kefu's sick seedling, get out of here, leave our street, we don't welcome you in Yanling." The child's eyes showed a fierce light, maybe the previous spitting was not enjoyable, he picked up a stone and threw it over, "Since you moved here, my father and mother have been quarreling, my mother is really right, you are a fox who sucks people's spirits"
She stood there, her calf slashed by a stone with a piercing pain, the fat aunt sneered and let her children shout and abuse her, and the people around her were whispering and watching coldly.
Alone. It was as if only then did I know what was happening. She slowly squatted down, hugged the thin clothes in her hand, sniffed the smell of Chinese medicine that had been engraved inside, and cried.
Only then did she realize that Shi Yao had passed away, and she hadn't even seen her last moment when she went to grab the medicine.
She squatted on the ground and cried for a long time, until the neighbors and aunts felt bored and dragged the child away before she stopped crying, but she couldn't stop sobbing. His feet were already unconscious because he had been squatting for too long, so he staggered forward and fell forward. The dust was filled, so she lay on the ground again for a while, her mind blank. In the end, he got up with his clothes disheveled, and stumbled into the house with the pile of clothes.
She nested in the house and became depressed day by day, always suspecting that Shi Yao's illness was brought by her, and the letter sent to her mother's family was lost in the sea.
She is getting weaker and weaker day by day, she doesn't think about tea and dinner, when she opens her eyes, she sheds tears, and when she closes her eyes, she looks sick with Shi Yao... It wasn't until the strange soul broke in that she was finally freed.
This soul is the pretty branch now.
Yu's mother didn't know what she was pondering when she saw Qiaozhi bowing her head, so she didn't bother. waved his hand and called the envoy behind him to clean up the dishes.
The plate made a slight sound when it hit one place, which woke up Qiaozhi. She got up in a hurry, saluted Yu's mother, and then left the table in a hurry.
Yun Zhi saw that her expression was different, and she just wanted to say something, but was stopped by Yu's mother with a look. Yu's mother shook her head, and softly instructed Qiuyue Qingyue, who was standing on the side, to hurry up and follow.
At this time, Qiaozhi was walking slowly on the verandah, and the soles of her feet were clasped with stones and made a soft clattering sound. Her mind was a mess, and she didn't know where to clear her thoughts.
She felt that Shi Yao's death was too strange.
The original owner just went to grab a medicine and died, and he was so weak that he could run out of the door when he was about to die, instead of dying halfway through. It's just such a short effort, so many people can be surrounded around, and even Taoist priests came to pull away the corpse, and they didn't even let them see the last side.
Besides, that Taoist priest is too sloppy, what is Huang Xian? It's a weasel. Not to mention that she didn't have the experience of offending weasels in her memory, even if she really collided, wouldn't the duty of the Taoist priest be to kill demons and eliminate demons? And what kind of Taoist priest is this kind of Taoist who only sends clothes to the mound!
There are also letters exchanged between the original owner and his family, but none of them have been sent out. This ancient post station is too pitiful...
In the end, Shi Yao's illness, which the doctor prescribed to her, is a placebo medicine to put it bluntly, and she can't cure the disease if she can't die. What the doctor meant was that Shi Yao's pulse was extremely healthy, and it was not the pulse of a seriously ill person at all. So why Shi Yao was sick and what kind of illness he had, they were helpless.
Oh, my God...... Qiaozhi started to have a headache.
She felt that Shi Yao's death might not be simple, at least what the Taoist priest did was unreasonable.
God is pitiful, she is just a poor little girl who was forced to drop out of school before finishing high school, why should she force this kind of crime-solving plot to her!
Qiaozhi entered Yundaiju with doubts in her head, and before her ass was hot, she saw Qingyue and Qiuyue also coming in together.
"Miss," Qingyue raised the booklet in her hand with a smile, "Young Master Bai Jian has come to see you." ”
Well? White Jane?
