Chapter 125: Another Soul?
"What did the second wife talk to her sister-in-law about, did you hear it?" Lin Mei asked about the spring equinox while eating noodles.
"The slave didn't hear clearly what they were talking about, but they seemed to hear them talking about family affairs." The vernal equinox stood and replied.
Lin Mei stopped with chopsticks and wondered, "Relatives? Whose family affairs are you talking about? ”
Equinox shook his head: "The door of the main house has been open, and my in-laws have been staring at the door, I don't dare to get too close, I didn't hear clearly." In addition, Aunt Xu asked me to tell you that my wife not only gave all the mutton to her mother's family, but also gave an extra bag of rice. ”
Lin Mei was still wondering about "family affairs", and after eating the noodles, she was trying to clean up the spring equinox.
Lin Mei suddenly remembered and asked, "Where do the sisters of the Zhou family live tonight, can the second wife explain to you?" ”
The spring equinox thought for a while: "You haven't mentioned it to me, or I'll ask about Ruyi and auspiciousness." ”
"So, go and ask them first, and if they don't know, you can just settle them in the guest room of the outhouse. If the second wife asks tomorrow, she will say that it is too late at night, and she is afraid of disturbing the master's rest, so she asked the eldest lady, and the eldest lady made the arrangement. You don't know anything else, but if the second wife tells them, you call them over and talk back. ”
Lin Mei had an ominous premonition at this time, and got up and stood in the courtyard. From the west wing came the chatter of Dabao and the exclamation of Xiaobao; The east wing is quiet; The light on the right side of the main house has not been extinguished, indicating that Father Lin has not rested, and the window on the left side of the main house shows the back of Shanzi reading a book; But according to the usual rule, after a pillar of incense, the lights in the main house will be completely extinguished.
After the mother and son of the Zhou family moved into the Lin family, the west wing cleaned up two rooms for the two of them to make bedrooms, but there was still one empty, but no one lived in it, and there were a lot of sundries in the room.
When the peaches were bigger, Xi'er moved to the next room to live, the small was a little smaller, but she used it at night when she fell asleep, and she still embroidered in the big room of the peach during the day.
The sisters of the Zhou family were still sitting stupidly in Furong Hall, without a maid ring to greet them, and there was no master to accompany them.
After eating, Dabao and Xiaobao also went back to the west wing, and now the ready-made house in the backyard does not need to be rearranged, and it is the study next to Shanzi, which Shanzi kept for Luo Sicheng, and occasionally when they review their homework together too late, Luo Sicheng will stay for one night. But after Zhou Ximei passed the door, Luo Sicheng never stayed overnight, even so, Shanzi still kept the room for him.
Lin Mei thought about the "family matter" said by the spring equinox, and then thought about the allocation of this room, it was not difficult to guess Zhou Ximei's thoughts. Lin Mei clenched her fists and sighed in her heart: This person's heart is not ancient, and such a big mansion can't fit it.
The more I think about it, the more annoyed I become, and there seems to be a soul in my restless body, trying to seize the dominance of the body. Lin Mei's clenched fists, the nails in the palms of her fingernails, the pain can keep her mind clear, and she struggles to control the dominance of her body.
Lin Mei took a deep breath of cold air and kept comforting herself, as if she was comforting another restless soul: this is all her own thoughts, maybe this is not the case.
Lin Mei once guessed that in fact, the soul of the original owner might still be in this body, and after fighting against the Tartar that night, another soul was activated; However, it may also be the sequelae left after the killing, which is often referred to as schizophrenia in later generations. Lin Mei didn't know what kind of person she was, but once she became emotional, especially when her body was out of control, the magic sound transmitted by her brain urged her to solve the problem with violence.
Lin Mei didn't dare to tell anyone such a strange thing.
In the past three years, I have been trying to calm my mind, and I get up every morning to do Tai Chi to adjust my mentality, and I find that only when I am quiet can I not feel the existence of that restless soul.
So she endured Zhou Ximei everywhere during these days, but she challenged her patience again and again, and stimulated the panicked soul in her body again and again. I hope it's just a misunderstanding this time, otherwise I don't know if this soul will impulsively kill her one day.
The squinting eyes suddenly poured out two blade-like cold rays!
Lin Mei took a deep breath again to adjust her emotions, put her right hand on her beating heart and read: If you are really still here, let your father have a good old age...... The cold light slowly dissipated in the sound of breeze and drizzle.
Watching the spring equinox come out of the east wing, he shook his head with himself, and understood that Zhou Ximei had not taken care of settling the Zhou family sisters, and she was relieved.
……
The next day, Zhou Ximei looked at the Zhou sisters, and remembered that she was thinking about coaxing her husband last night and forgot about her two nieces.
Embarrassed, he took the initiative to ask: "I slept well last night, is it cold at night?" ”
Zhou Qingman lived in someone else's house for the first time in such a big way, and he still slept in a bed, excited and happy. There is no need to squeeze on the small kang at home with the two sisters, and the mattress is covered with quilts, and the soup woman is also placed, and her feet are very warm in the quilt.
Zhou Qingman nodded happily: "Don't worry, I slept well, it's not cold at all, it's much more comfortable than at home." ”
"Oh, yes, it's good to be comfortable, I'm afraid you're used to sleeping on the kang and choosing a bed at night. By the way, which room do you sleep in? Zhou Ximei asked along with her words.
Zhou Qingman was a little puzzled: "I just live in the outhouse, wasn't it arranged by my aunt?" ”
"Hey, look at my memory, I originally wanted to vacate the room next to your cousin in the Westinghouse, but I was too busy yesterday, and I forgot the one specifically assigned by Yahuan." Zhou Ximei gently revealed this matter. But I wondered in my heart, besides Lin Mei in this family, who else would make the arrangements.
Zhou Qingman didn't have a long heart, anyway, her aunt believed everything she said.
Zhou Qinglian looked at the peach in a pink peach blossom pattern, and there was a circle of white rabbit fur sewn on the side of the jacket, just like the girl sitting in Guanyin Bodhisattva in the New Year painting, her eyes were full of envy.
The more Zhou Qinglian looked at it, the more she liked it, and she couldn't wait to pull it out and wear it on herself. Regardless of whether my aunt was happy or not, she asked directly: "Aunt, I also want her clothes, it's so beautiful." ”
Zhou Ximei was caught off guard and listened to her words, almost scared herself to death, the new clothes on the peach body were just made, the inner layer was white fine cotton, with silk in the middle, the outer layer was silk, and the peach blossoms embroidered on the light were heard that Xi'er took three months of hard work to slowly embroider it, not to mention that the surrounding area was wrapped in white rabbit fur, when Xi'er did it, Lin Mei also praised her, if she took this dress to Taiyuan to sell, it was estimated to be worth fifty taels of silver.
"This is made by your Xi'er cousin with a stitch and a thread, if you like it, go and please Xi'er cousin, maybe as soon as she is happy, she will make one for you." Zhou Ximei is doing tai chi.
Taozi didn't like the Zhou sisters in the first place, but now she hates it even more, and said provocatively: "My second sister is busy, and she doesn't just make clothes for irrelevant people." Besides, not everyone can wear this dress, and if you wear it to work in the fields, you won't spoil it. ”
