The courtyard is plain white, so it stands out in the night.

There was no chanting because Mrs. Zhu didn't like it.

The twins' cries gradually lowered and turned into sobs, because crying itself is a very physically demanding thing.

The girls in Wei Yiwan's yard also knelt there and cried, not because of how sad they were when the fourth lady went, Wei Yiwan was very mean to her subordinates when she was alive, and the maids had nothing to be nostalgic for when she died, but they cried to show their wife.

As soon as the day came, the Zhiyong Mansion was already as quiet as late at night.

"It's useless to leave so many people here, you all go back and rest!" Bao said to everyone, and it was difficult to hide the tiredness in his tone: "It's better to be quiet, our mother and mother can talk about their hearts." ”

The first seven are unusual in that they all say that the soul of a person will return to the place where the soul rests on this day, so the people who keep the spirit on this night are the closest people of the deceased.

Wei Yimi originally wanted to stay, but Bao said: "You have been suffering from heat stroke in the past few days, and you can't stay up late, go back quickly!" ”

Since Wei Yimi has already gotten up, Wei Yijia Wei Yijia naturally has no reason to stay, Wei Yining follows the crowd, and she can only follow what the three sisters on top do.

Aunt Liu burned the paper and led her daughter Wei Yibao back.

After the young ladies left, only Bao and a few maids remained, as well as the country's mother.

"Don't stay up here, go back to sleep!" Bao said to Guo's mother.

Mother Guo shook her head when she heard this, and said, "Madam, I have to accompany you here, not to mention that the fourth miss was grown up by me, and I also want to do my part." ”

"I understand your heart, and Yiwan naturally understands it," Bao sighed, and his tears couldn't stop flowing: "I'll keep a night here tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it tomorrow, and then you will have to come out to take care of everything in the house, if we both are here tonight, what if we rush to tomorrow?" Listen to me, you go and rest, and tomorrow everything will be taken care of by you, and I can rest assured that you can rest well. ”

When Mother Guo heard her say this, she couldn't force her to stay, wiped her eyes with her sleeve and said, "I'll burn some more paper money for Miss Fourth and go back, although it's summer now, it's still cold in the middle of the night, I'll go and pick up some clothes for you." ”

"There's Chunrong, I'll send her to send you back, just bring me clothes by the way, you don't have to toss back and forth." Bao said.

Mother Guo knelt there and finished burning the paper, Chunrong went back with her and got a new piece of clothing for Bao.

The ever-bright lamp in front of the spirit flickered on and off, and Chun Rong had to add some lamp oil every once in a while and dial the wick to prevent it from going out.

Bao Shi naturally did not kneel for his daughter's spirit, and sat on a large circle chair beside him, with his eyes lowered and his expression sad.

The two maids who accompanied him didn't dare to come forward to disturb, but silently burned paper.

It was late at night, and Chunrong's sleepiness came up, but she couldn't hold back and didn't dare to yawn.

The little girl Pan Tao lightly poured a cup of tea from the tea stove and handed it to Bao's.

This maid named Pan Tao, Bao beat her last time to vent her anger, afraid that she would seek death and be locked up for three days.

But although she was beaten, she didn't cry, and she was as honest as before.

Bao then rewarded her with a few taels of silver and told her to continue to serve by her side.

The minions are like cats and dogs in front of their masters, and they still call after beating and scolding.

No one thinks there's anything wrong with that.

On the second watch day, Chun Rong wanted to relieve herself, so she quietly glanced at Pan Tao.

Pan Tao nodded hurriedly, meaning to tell her to go.

Chunrong saw Madame sitting there, her eyes closed, as if she was napping.

She didn't want to be alarmed, so she quietly went outside and called a rough girl who had been outside at night to accompany her.

If it was Chang Chunrong who dared to do it alone, but these days, there are one after another dead people in the house, and it is the middle of the night, she can't help but feel a little hairy.

The inferior maid usually can't stammer, and when she heard that she was going to the toilet, the two maids who went to the night hurriedly lit the lantern and came out with her.

After untying her hands, Chunrong wanted to breathe outside before going back.

These days, she is worried about serving Bao every day, for fear that she will be angry if something is wrong.

Originally, Bao Shi was accompanied by her and Chunying, and the two of them alternated, and everything was more relaxed.

Now she is the only one left, not only is the work heavier, but the strings in her head have to be tensed all the time, and every day is like peeling off her skin.

"Sister Chunrong, do you have a supper?" The maid who came out with her asked earnestly: "You must be hungry after guarding the spirit inside for so long, right?" ”

Hearing her say this, Chunrong did feel that her stomach was a little empty.

However, she disdained the supper that these rough girls ate, and the left was just some fruit and pastries that had been left over, which were already too hard to gnaw.

Another girl, the cuckoo, hurriedly said, "Who is my sister, how can she eat our things!" You go and ask Mrs. Zhao in the kitchen to make a bowl of fried gluten for the girl, and it won't take a quarter of an hour before and after, and then ask your sister to finish eating and then go in to serve Mrs. ”

Chunrong felt that this girl named Du Juan was very clever, so she smiled and said to her: "It's rare that you bother, how do you know that I love to eat this thing?" ”

Du Juan smiled and said, "I went to the kitchen that time, and I heard the housekeeper's mother say once that she told the girl to keep the fried gluten alone, so I wrote it down." ”

The big maids in front of these masters are the most decent in the house, especially Chunrong is in front of the Bao family, and there are fights everywhere in the house.

The old mothers in the kitchen have already felt the tastes of the big girls clearly, and they make some delicious food every once in a while and ask someone to send it quietly.

That Mrs. Zhao is from Yuzhou, and she does a good job of gluten.

Chunrong thought that Mrs. was fine inside, not to mention that there was a peach next to her, plus these two maids held her like a master, so she was a little big, and sat on the stool in the pavilion outside and waited for the fried gluten to finish before going in.

"Madam, this tea is just right, you can drink another bowl." Pan Tao stood in front of Bao with a teacup.

Bao took it and drank it all, and asked Pan Tao to lengthen the wick of the ever-bright lamp.

A gust of wind blew in, the banner flew away, and Bao Shi muttered: "Yiwan, are you back?" ”

The only thing that answered her was Xiao Xiao's voice.

Bao Shi only felt that her eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, she was struggling to support herself these days, but in fact, her body had already collapsed.

The curtains danced in the wind, and Bao's vision became more and more blurred.

"Yiwan, my poor daughter, if you are immortal, come to your mother's dream!" Bao whispered before falling asleep.

The Zhiyong Mansion fell into darkness, and Wei Yining's starry eyes were like torches, looking out the window at the dark night.

She knew that someone was stirring up in the darkness.
