I was imagining the appearance of the eldest lady looking up, and the door behind me slowly opened.

Hearing the movement, Pomegranate hurriedly gathered her thoughts, turned around and saluted her aunt.

The eldest aunt nodded and motioned for Pomegranate to enter the house.

This room is located in the middle of nowhere, and there is no sun all year round, and when you walk into the house, there is a cold chill blowing in your face, and the only window that lights is covered by heavy black felt curtains, and the white mist curls in the room, which makes people feel chilled.

Pomegranate shrunk down, her eyes daring to glance, her hands hanging down.

The eldest aunt sat on the upper seat, calmly picked up the teacup, took a sip slowly, and then asked leisurely, "What happened to Fushouyuan?" The voice was clear and cold, as cold as the cold wind of winter, without a trace of emotion, but the tone seemed to have a bit of anticipation, which sounded very incongruous and a little weird.

Pomegranate was stunned and stunned, and her brain was knotted for a moment.

As far as she knew, the eldest aunt was kind, did not quarrel with others, immersed in Buddhism all day long, and did not ask about the world.

But why is this a bit of schadenfreude, wishing that something happened to Fushouyuan?

Quietly, Pomegranate raised her head slightly and glanced at her expressionless aunt.

Unfortunately, the eldest aunt happened to look at her as well.

The look of hatred and fierceness made Pomegranate's little liver "thump" and hurriedly withdrew his gaze. However, remembering the bodhisattva's heart when she met her aunt for the first time, and the gentle words she used to speak on weekdays, Pomegranate looked at it cautiously in order to prove that she was just wrong.

Again, the pomegranate shrunk her neck several times like a tortoise.

It's just that this is the case, and she still thinks in her heart that the eldest aunt is in a hurry for the eldest young master, so she shows such a look.

Before the eldest aunt's face became more and more ugly, Pomegranate sorted out what she wanted to say in her heart, and then she said carefully: "The slave maid saw that the eldest young master came in from the outside, but the strange thing is that there is obviously another eldest young master lying in the room, the young master looks terminally ill and has little time, but the one who met the slave and maid looks good and has nothing out of the ordinary." The slave and maid thought it was very strange, so they seized the gap and secretly came to tell you. ”

The eldest aunt frowned, and pondered for a long time, then she tightened her voice and asked, "Are you serious!" "There seems to be some doubt about what Pomegranate said.

Pomegranate hurriedly "pounced" and knelt down, stretched out two fingers of his right hand, raised it high and said: "The slave and maid dare not lie, otherwise, if there is a lie, let God chop the slave to death, and never be able to live forever!" ”

Seeing this, the eldest aunt's expression was a little dark, let Pomegranate get up, and said: "Look at you, I just asked one more question, and it was a little more serious to swear a poisonous oath or something." ”

Seeing that the eldest aunt believed herself, Pomegranate secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to relax her nerves.

The eldest aunt continued: "Is there anything else unusual about Fushouyuan? ”

Pomegranate thought about it carefully and replied: "The rest is nothing, that is, Fushouyuan has no aunt and grandmother and Xie Ma in charge, and the eldest young master is so sick and crooked, and there is no backbone, and the people below are inevitably a little chaotic, and they don't know the essentials of doing things, and many people are talking in private, and they are ready to move." ”

Hearing this, the eldest aunt sneered, and said meaningfully: "This is evil, the present world!" ”

Pomegranate didn't dare to talk, but lowered her head very low.

The eldest aunt raised her eyes and glanced at the pomegranate, and instructed: "You go back first, don't let people know that you have been here, after all, there are many things now, and there are many rights and wrongs, and if you don't get it right, you will become the target of public criticism and cause unwarranted disasters." Now that Fushouyuan is in a mess, you will try your best to deploy to the eldest young master to serve, you also know, last night the fourth aunt's fetus had slipped, this woman went crazy, comparable to a mad dog, she bit someone when she caught it, and when she saw that the eldest young master was fine, it was strange if she didn't make a move! After a pause, seeing Pomegranate's cautious face, she continued: "Also, the eldest lady has a lot of criticism about me, and you know it, even the people around me are not allowed to be treated by her. So, if someone asks you one day where you used to do an errand, do you know how to answer? ”

This matter was mentioned slightly by the eldest aunt, but it was not as solemn as it is now, so she just mentioned it.

Therefore, Pomegranate didn't take this matter to heart, so she didn't think about it carefully.

Now seeing that the eldest aunt mentioned it so cautiously, Pomegranate pondered for a moment and replied: "The slave will say that the slave maid has done it in the Durian Courtyard, but she can't see the eldest aunt's eyes, and has always done the most rough work. The last sentence is a question sentence, waiting for the eldest aunt's criticism.

The eldest aunt looked solemn, frowned, and said: "Although you have been in the mansion for a while, everyone may not remember how you entered the mansion, but just in case, if you say this, maybe others suspect it, it must be fake, after all, I begged the eldest lady to agree to let you enter the mansion, so it is impossible not to let my eyes." However, your plan for the rest is good, climb the high branches, ......" The eldest aunt silently recited the three words "climbing the high branches" in her mouth, and then raised her voice, and then said: "You go in the direction of 'climbing high branches', which is more convincing." ”

Pomegranate understood and nodded.

The eldest aunt gave Pomegranate a few more words, and then waved her hand to let her go.

The pomegranate didn't dare to stay longer, so she saluted respectfully and retreated.

The layout of this transept is not small, and it is divided into two rooms by the eldest aunt, one is used by her daily chanting, and in the direction of the west, it is covered by a pitch-black curtain, so that you can't see the situation inside. The other room is where the pomegranate is now, which is generally used by the aunt to meet guests.

Pomegranate had been in and out of this room several times, and the curtain of the room on the west side had never been lifted, and today I don't know if the aunt had forgotten it, or something else, but when she turned and retreated, she saw the environment of the room on the west side at a glance.

In the northernmost part of the wall, there is a black lacquered rectangular table, in the center of which is placed an incense burner, on which are three incense sticks, and on both sides are fresh melons and fruits, which seem to be changed every day, and then on top are ......

Pomegranate looked at it and suddenly frightened her whole body.

That...... That's not ......

Pomegranate didn't dare to look at it anymore, and he couldn't wait for the wind under his feet and immediately fled from here.

But when she thought that the eldest aunt behind her was looking at her, she could only hold back the fear in her heart and walk out of the room steadily.

As soon as she stood under the courtyard, Pomegranate felt like her body was collapsed, stumbled a little, and almost fell first, but fortunately she quickly supported the pomegranate tree that was growing luxuriantly, and she was spared a close contact with the earth.

Auntie, she also has secrets on her.

Pomegranate looked up at the sky with a sarcastic smile.

In this big mansion, there are no people who have no secrets, but some people hide not deep enough and are seen through at a glance, and the other few people are very deep and bottomless.
