Chapter 61: Ghost Hunting
It was the first day of the day, Xie Zheng sat in the pavilion, followed the mother-in-law sitting on the side to learn to be a female red, Yuzhi stood on the side and waited, seeing Xie Zheng's rough embroidery and the mother-in-law's delicate judgment, and saw that her hands were clumsy, and the fine needlework on the flat satin was at a loss, she couldn't help laughing for a while, she quipped: "The lady has been learning for many days, but the embroiderer doesn't seem to have grown at all." ”
"You don't want to make fun of me," Xie Zheng glanced at her and said with a smile: "If it were you, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to hold a needle and thread." ”
Yuzhi looked down at his calloused hands, and thought: "This is also true, the slave thinks, this female red, it seems to be more difficult than dancing a knife and getting a gun." ”
The mother-in-law shook her head, "Female celebrities have to start from elementary school, you look at those noble girls of the noble clan, which one has not learned female celebrities thoroughly since childhood?" Even the old body has learned this craft for many years. ”
Xie Zheng and Yuzhi glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything more, and the mother-in-law said again: "Xie Niangzi's hands are thin and tender, looking dexterous, and she was born to be a female celebrity." ”
Mother-in-law's words, can't help but touch Xie Zheng's inner sensitivity, she froze, lowered her eyes and looked at her hands, when she was very young, her father also called her like other noble daughters, learn female red and piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, in the future, she likes to fight and kill since she was a child, her hands, only held knives and guns, but never touched the needle and thread.
Xie Zheng only smiled and said nothing.
Suddenly, a maid hurriedly ran over and said, "Oh no! Xie Niangzi, the crown princess is here again, she is violent, as soon as she comes, she says that she wants to find you, I'm afraid I want to find your fault......"
Yuzhi said angrily: "What! She still dares to make trouble! ”
Xie Zheng, who was sitting next to her, was calm, she put down the needle and thread in her hand unhurriedly, got up and said, "What about the county marquis?" ”
The maid replied: "The porter has gone to inform him." ”
"Let's go, meet her."
The maid led the way in front, Xie Zheng took Yuzhi over, but stopped under the promenade on the side of the front yard to watch, and really saw Pei Huizhao standing in the courtyard with Qiu Shi and three Taoist people who looked like Taoists, Yuzhi sneered, "I even brought a few Taoist priests, and I really regarded the lady as an evil ghost?" ”
"This annoying spirit, since I went back to the Prince's Mansion from the previous time, I didn't plan to provoke her again, but I didn't expect that this time, she came to the door by herself!" Xie Zheng was bored and disgusted.
At that time, Huan Ling also rushed over, and before he walked to Pei Huizhao, Pei Huizhao saw him from a distance, and said in a strange manner: "Yongxiu County Marquis? Today, the palace came to find Xie Yu, and the Marquis of Laojia County invited her to come out and meet the palace. ”
"There is no such person as Xie Yu in Huan's mansion," Huan Ling was also quite indifferent.
Pei Huizhao sneered, "Whether there is such a person in the mansion, the county marquis knows better than the palace." ”
"That's natural," Huan Ling knew that Pei Huizhao was threatening, but he smiled, but Pei Huizhao was impatient and reprimanded: "Don't hand her over quickly!" ”
Seeing that Pei Huizhao was rude, Huan Ling was also angry, and he said in a deep voice: "Ben Hou said, there is no such person in the house!" ”
"Since there is none, then let the palace go in and search," Pei Huizhao said, and was about to break in, Huan Ling finally couldn't help but be full of anger, and said sharply: "Niangniang broke into Benhou's mansion privately, she has violated the law of Daqi, and now she still wants to search Benhou, let me ask Benhou if there is no corruption, and there is no perversion of the law, who is Niangniang's order?" Is there a search warrant? If there is, to search the mansion, Benhou has no objection, if not, then ask the mother to go out! ”
Pei Huizhao was not to be outdone, and glared at Huan Ling angrily, "This palace is the crown princess!" Check whoever you want! What's more, you secretly hid Xie Yu and shielded the thief, you should investigate! ”
"Ben Hou respects, you are the crown princess! It's polite to treat you, but you don't want to make an inch! Huan Ling calmed down a little, he had always been calm and composed, but now he was also very angry.
Xie Zheng was watching the battle, anger arose in her heart, she was about to walk down the corridor, but Yuzhi hurriedly grabbed her and called softly: "Lady, don't go." ”
"Not going? The county marquis is standing up for me, but I'm hiding here as a turtle with a shrunken head? ”
Yuzhi reluctantly let go and followed her towards the courtyard.
"I heard the maid say that the princess is here, Deyin still doesn't believe it, come and take a look, it's true," Xie Zheng was still resentful, but now she was so kind, she walked to Huan Ling's side unhurriedly, and smiled at Pei Huizhao: "Niangniang's face is ruddy, it seems that the phoenix body is fine." ”
Seeing her approaching, Pei Huizhao timidly took two steps back, and Qiu said in a low voice with the old Taoist next to him: "This is that female ghost." ”
When Lao Dao heard this, he immediately aimed the peachwood sword in his hand at Xie Zheng, Huan Ling immediately brushed his sleeves and almost knocked the peachwood sword down, he reprimanded: "Get out!" ”
The old Dao stumbled, and was supported by the two trails that followed behind him, Xie Zheng looked at him, and sneered: "Lao Dao, let me ask you, ghost, can you go freely under the sun?" ”
"You have a deep grudge, how can you compare it with ordinary evil?" Lao Dao held a peachwood sword in one hand and a beard in the other, pretending to be profound.
"Fallacy!" Huan Ling snorted coldly.
Pei Huizhao became more and more impatient, and blamed the old way, "What nonsense, don't you hurry up and accept this evil!" ”
Lao Dao turned around and instructed the two small ways: "Set up an altar." ”
"I see who dares!" Huan Ling's eyes showed murderous intent, and several people were so frightened that they didn't dare to move, but Xie Zheng was calm, she and Huan Ling said indifferently: "Don't be angry with the county marquis, I'm Xie Zheng is a human being, not to mention that these people are charlatans, even if they are true Taoists, I'm not afraid, just let them go, it's all about watching a play." ”
Huan Ling flicked his sleeves and didn't say anything more.
Xie Zheng then instructed his subordinates: "You move a few tables and stools, and prepare some tea, water, melons and fruits. ”
The next person went to prepare.
Pei Huizhao knew that Xie Zheng was humiliating her, but he couldn't argue with her, so he had to vent his anger on Lao Dao's head and said angrily: "What are you doing in a daze!" Are you really waiting for this evil to prepare tea for you? Don't do it yet! ”
"Yes, yes," Lao Dao nodded, but he promised, and the two paths behind him were also hurriedly setting up altars.
Now it happened to be noon, Xiao Zhen had also gone down to the court, and as soon as he returned home, he asked the maid about Pei Huizhao's condition: "Has Tao Hongjing ever come over to check the pulse of the princess today?" ”
"Mr. Tao has been here, but Niangniang went out first, so he said to come back later."
"She's out? Where did she go? Xiao Zhen was surprised, but also a little worried.
The maid scratched her head and thought, "The slave doesn't know...... Today, Aunt Qiu brought a few Taoist priests, and Niangniang went out with her, and the slave seemed to hear what Niangniang said...... Ghost hunting? ”
"Ghost hunting?" Xiao Xun was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted, and hurriedly turned around and ran out.
