After experiencing life and death in the past, Bai Yueyi's temperament was a lot calmer, and she was sent to the Qi family to study with Rong Fang. I miss Rong Changning in my heart, and naturally I like her children: "Look at his big eyes, he doesn't know who he is staring at." Sister-in-law, give me a hug! ”

Rong Changning glanced at her, but still handed the child to her and hugged her.

Seeing the little girl in front of her laughing around a child, Bai Lu's shook the fan embroidered with begonias, and he didn't know how long Rong Changning in front of him would laugh.

In the room, Bai Chuxi was sitting opposite the desk listening to his grandmother's admonition, and the tea in the hands of the grandfather and grandson was still the Liuhe tea blended by Rong Changning.

Mrs. Ying Guo was about to talk to Bai Chuxi about the two sisters of the Rong family, and when she looked out the window, she saw Steward Jiang with a maid with a wooden box in her hand, and hurriedly entered the courtyard.

was so anxious that no one could pass through, and pushed the door directly into the house.

Steward Jiang led people to salute: "Master Hou, old lady." ”

Then he looked left and right, Mrs. Ying Guo waved her hand and signaled people to go down, and Steward Jiang took the wooden box in the maid's hand and put it aside: "Old lady, this girl is in charge of the flower garden outside the courtyard." This morning, when I was renovating the soil, I dug up such an object. ”

After spreading out the box, Steward Jiang took out a small straw and a black clay pot from it and put it on the desk.

Bai Chuxi picked up the little figure and examined it carefully, and sent a heel needle on the top of his head, and took it out to see that it was nearly two inches long. Looking at the strange patterns on the palm-sized small clay pot, it doesn't look like something from the Central Plains.

When I opened it, there were two killed insects, one red and one yellow, wrapped around the same small stick.

As soon as everything was placed on the table, needless to say, it was known that someone was practicing witchcraft, and it was a handiwork from southern Xinjiang.

"I have only heard of witchcraft in southern Xinjiang before, but now it can be regarded as an eye-opener." Saying that, Bai Chuxi put the things in their place: "You said that these things were found outside my grandmother's courtyard?" ”

Before Steward Jiang could reply, Bai Lu's had already entered the door, shouting while swaying the fan: "It's really lively outside, those children can be regarded as playing." Why don't you go out and bask in the sun? ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Lu realized that the only few people left in the room were looking at him, as if he had come at the wrong time. Glancing at the strange things on the table again, he realized his face, and then began to look nervous: "I saw that there was no one in front of the door, so I came in by myself, I don't know ...... aunt and Ah Yi."

"It's okay, since you're here, let's sit down."

Bai Lu was not polite, and found a place to sit down. Sticking his neck to look forward, he unconsciously reached out and picked up the villain: "This is not a cursed thing?" It doesn't look like it's much the same. ”

"This is the grass Gu of Southern Xinjiang, it looks similar to the disgusting technique of the Central Plains, but it is more vicious and dangerous." Bai Chuxi explained: "Southern Xinjiang has always practiced witchcraft, and the kings of southern Xinjiang have respected it in the past. I heard that they had to give a team of men and horses Gu before the battle, and when they went to the battlefield, they all rushed to the front, and they were unconscious when they were cut by knives and axes. ”

Bai Lushi listened while tinkering with the villain in his hand, and finally felt something inside, and took it out to see that it was a small note: "This ......"

Bai Chuxi raised his eyes, and as a result, the things in Bai Lu's hand were opened and saw that the eight characters of Mrs. Yingguo's birthday were clearly written on it.

"This is for the eldest uncle! No wonder the eldest aunt suddenly had heart palpitations that day. Bai Lushi slapped the table and looked even more anxious than Bai Chuxi: "Who is so bold?!" I have to call those subordinates over one by one and interrogate them severely! ”

Mrs. Ying Guo didn't look surprised, and only said: "Even if the subordinates have the courage, they may not have such knowledge." Even though I've been to southern Xinjiang, it's the first time I've seen this thing. ”

"Go all over the Imperial City to find it, how many people know this thing? The eldest aunt has always been kind and tolerant to her subordinates, who would have such a big grudge? If you really don't dare to know, there are only three masters in the long room, if it's not Ah Yi, it can't be the eldest uncle, then it won't be Changning? Uncle Niang has nothing to say about Changning. ”

The two of them were silent in front of them, and Bai Lu's couldn't figure out what they meant, so he pondered for a moment and continued: "Even if it's Changning, it's me who she should hate the most. How can you put your anger on the eldest uncle? ”

No matter how these words sounded, it seemed to cause trouble to Chaorong Changning, Bai Chuxi believed in Rong Changning's innocence, and said bluntly: "How can Changning know this? ”

"That's right." Bai Lu nodded thoughtfully: "If it weren't for a place like the Beixun Zangxiang Pavilion, almost no one would know about such a thing." ”

In the entire Ming Wuhou Mansion, the closest relationship with the Tibetan Xiang Pavilion is Rong Changning.

Listening to this insinuation, Bai Chuxi immediately lost his face: "Auntie, be cautious." Changning's handwriting, you haven't seen it. If anyone provokes her, she will either endure it first, or kill her with one blow. Since you mentioned the Lishi, then I am even more puzzled, the Lishi is good at using poison, if Changning wants to quietly ask for someone's life, just looking for a poison, and silently go down. Why bother with this Rausch? Besides, this word doesn't seem to be Changning's. ”

"......" Bai Lushi was immediately speechless, and finally only squeezed out one sentence: "Words can be written by others." That's true, but I still don't have a clue about it. Or, someone close to her? Xiaodong? Or Aunt Lin? I heard that he was originally a tea merchant in Lingxi, and he traveled from south to north, so he naturally saw a lot of knowledge. Whoever can be put in that place is certainly not an outsider. ”

Bai Chuxi suddenly smiled: "Auntie, what's wrong?" Just staring at the people next to Changning? I remember that in our house, there were many people who were collected by their aunts. U9 eBook

"You ......" Bai Lushi raised his hand to Bai Chuxi, as if he never thought that he would start to slander himself for Rong Changning, in the end, he was at the expense of himself, but he was in someone else's yard, even if Bai Lu's family wanted to be rampant, he didn't dare to be rampant, but he didn't forget to mention the grievances on his face: "Okay, it's me, an outsider, who is meddling in my affairs, today I have no rules, and I ask my uncle to forgive me." ”

After saying that, he got up, flicked his pink sleeves and went out. Steward Jiang stood aside with the maid lowering his eyebrows, not knowing that Bai Chuxi would actually go toe-to-toe with Bai Lu's family.

Waiting for people to go out, Bai Chuxi swallowed a big mouthful of tea and swallowed it fiercely, stared at those things and said, "This matter needs to be investigated." You have to be careful! Otherwise, outsiders will feel dirty when they look at it! I'm going to call Changning! ”

"There's no hurry."

"What? Does grandmother also suspect Changning? ”

Mrs. Ying Guo held Yin Ji silently, and Bai Chuxi was completely anxious: "Grandmother, you should know Changning, you can't believe him just because of a few words from Aunt Sanfang." ”

"The Bai Lu clan can't wait for our long house to become a mess. This thing has to be pressed, and it should not be quiet. You are going to call Changning now, don't you tell everyone in the courtyard to find out that something is wrong in the house? Then you should go back and talk to her later, and tell her to pay more attention to the house." ”

Bai Chuxi suddenly realized: "That's the case, or grandmother is thoughtful." ”

"When I entered the door from Changning, I asked myself if I treated her well. If you have to say that there is anything wrong, that is, only you have some doubts about the matter of taking a concubine. I don't think she's too careful. ”

"Coincidentally, it was at this time that my aunt entered the door. It's too much to say, but it's too obvious. If he has no heart, it is best, if he has a heart, he will not be able to fulfill her wish. ”

Mrs. Ying Guo smiled and said nothing, in her heart

Mrs. Ying Guo took a sip of tea, but what she thought in her heart was different from what she said. It's not because of these pickled things in front of him, but because of Rong Changning's domineering treatment of Bai Chuxi.

……

After the meal, the people gathered in the Mingwu Marquis Mansion also dispersed one by one. Rong Changning went back to settle the child before going back to the room to wait for Bai Chuxi.

When Bai Chuxi entered the door, he saw Rong Changning sitting in front of the dressing table under the moon and wiping the gold-inlaid jade collar in his hand, his black hair was lightly drooping on his apricot face and peach cheeks, and the corners of his vermilion lips were slightly raised, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

On the contrary, Bai Chuxi didn't know how to say those words, held the wooden box in his hand, paced to the back of the dressing table, gently surrounded the person in front of him, and greedily sniffed the fragrance on his hair.

"Have you eaten at your grandmother's?"

"Grandmother asked the small kitchen to burn the mutton, it tasted very delicious, but unfortunately you have to come back to take care of Yu'er, you can't taste it. But it didn't matter, my grandmother told me to bring some back to you. ”

This Rong Changning felt that Bai Chuxi was holding something in his hand, and grabbed it in his hand and opened it to see that the things contained in it were so ridiculous.

took out the note inside and muttered, "This is grandmother's birthday?" ”

Bai Chuxi put his chin on Rong Changning's shoulder: "Well, I found it when the maid was looking through the flower garden." Steward Jiang took it and showed it to his grandmother. Aunt Sanfang said a lot, but the left is just suspicious of you. But my grandmother didn't believe her, so you should check it out. ”

Rong Changning didn't say much, and he didn't say anything. It was ridiculous to touch the red silk in the box, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart for a while.

"Grandmother didn't say anything about it?"

Bai Chuxi thought for a while: "It's impossible to believe this thing, my grandmother had palpitations a while ago, and I couldn't touch it because of this thing." Tomorrow I'm going to leave the house and ask if it's burned better. ”

"Hmm." Rong Changning sighed, biting the corner of his mouth and looking at himself in the bronze mirror.

Early in the morning of the second day, I asked Aunt Lin to go to the warehouse to find the things in Mrs. Yingguo's yard, as well as the books in the kitchen.

He took something and shouted to run to Rong's house, and without waiting for the doorman to pass the word, he rushed to the Lan Courtyard with great momentum.

The subordinates of the Lan Courtyard also didn't know what was going on, and watched Rong Changning kick open the door with a confused expression, stood in front of the bookcase, and threw the box in his hand in front of Rong Ling: "Eldest sister." ”

Rong Ling held the book and raised her eyes innocently: "What is this?" What does the county lord want to do? Looking for me to play with the straw man? ”
