In the afternoon, Shisu did another beauty procedure for Aunt Song, stewed bird's nest in the small kitchen and waited for Master Zhou's arrival.

When it was time to hold the lamp, Master Zhou did not appear for a long time.

Zi Su learned that Master Zhou had been preparing to go to the capital for the past two days, if before going to the capital, Aunt Song had always been able to firmly tie Master Zhou to her yard, the more they got along, the more affection they had, and Aunt Song's status would be more stable.

Zi Su was worried that Mrs. Zhou would make a stumbling block, and when the time came, something went wrong, and with Aunt Song's consent, she hurriedly went to inquire about the reason why Master Zhou did not come.

In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Zi Su came to Master Zhou's study under the pretext of sending bird's nest to Master Zhou.

The maid Cuizhi was wiping the objects in Master Zhou's study, and while wiping, she was crying lowly, and a slap mark was clearly seen on her cheek.

"Cuizhi, what's wrong with you?"

Cui Zhi pretended to smile, "It's okay, the master was in a bad mood today and slapped me." ”

Shisu stepped forward and carefully observed Cuizhi's face, her cheeks were swollen, and the red bruises were clearly visible.

"Cuizhi, you look very serious, you need to see a doctor."

Cui Zhi said aggrievedly: "I'm already light, Bai Ling's teeth were knocked out by the master, and he vomited blood." Where do I dare to go to the doctor, I still work honestly, and I can't make the old man angry again. ”

"What did you do wrong? Why did the master beat you and Bai Ling? ”

Cuizhi briefly said what happened, saying that during the period when Master Zhou was waiting for Master Yuantong in the study, he was irritable, restless, and saw that no one was pleasing to the eye.

Bai Ling handed tea to Mr. Zhou, all of which were made according to the usual temperature of the water, Mr. Zhou said that the tea was too hot to burn him, so he gave Bai Ling a slap in the face, Bai Ling was in pain, and couldn't help crying, Mr. Zhou seemed to dislike her noise again, and slapped her again, which was even more serious, and directly hit Bai Ling to the ground.

Cuizhi and Bai Ling grew up together and did things in the Zhou Mansion, and their relationship was like that of sisters, out of sympathy and concern, they stepped forward to help Bai Ling, not wanting Master Zhou to even fight Cuizhi, and finally punished her for not being allowed to finish eating and wiping all the study.

The people of the Zhou Mansion really don't have a good thing, and Master Zhou doesn't treat the maid as a human being at all, so it's too ruthless.

Shiso appeased Cuizhi and instructed her to soak some blood with boiling water with Bai Ling when she rested at night, and put borneol, angelica, and Chuanxiong on her face with a towel for an hour.

Master Zhou has a short temper, since Master Zhou has stayed in Aunt Song's room these days, his temper has been much milder in the past two days, this is a particularly good thing for the maids who serve him, at least the master has less temper, and the maids can also accept less grievances.

Cuizhi and Bai Ling also entered the Zhou Mansion since childhood, and they are familiar with Zisu, but because Aunt Song is too out of favor, Cuizhi and Zisu have a lot of contacts, and they are afraid that Mrs. Zhou will make her feel bad, so they dare not interact with Zisu more, and the relationship is slowly estranged.

A few days ago, Cuizhi heard Master Zhou say that the soup made by perilla was very suitable for him, and Master Zhou was in a good mood for the next few days.

Cuizhi feels that she has not been wronged these days, and the maid Zisu has contributed a lot. Right now, Zisu cares so much about her and Bai Ling, and she is more and more grateful to Zisu in her heart.

"Zisu, Aunt Song asked you to come to Master Zhou, right? I'm afraid that the master won't be able to go to Aunt Song's side tonight. ”

Cuizhi told Zisu the content of the conversation between Master Zhou and Zhou Chenming in the study in the morning, and Zisu secretly thought that Master Zhou was so afraid of Miss Ah Xian that he was not only restless, but also hit the girl who was waiting beside him, and also asked people to find Master Yuantong, and became more and more puzzled about what ulterior secrets there were.

Only by knowing more about the secrets of the Zhou family can the road of revenge be easier, not to mention that Miss Ah Xian seems to have some kind of relationship with her resurrection.

Zi Su thinks that by taking the opportunity of sending bird's nest, maybe he can find out more secrets of the Zhou family, and he can also learn about Miss A Xian from the mouth of the Zhou family.

She pretended to look at the bird's nest in her hand, "This is what Aunt Song has been boiling for a long time, and if it is not delivered to the master, it will be cold." Cuizhi, tell me where the master has gone? I sent the bird's nest over. ”

Cui Zhi said: "After Master Yuantong came, Master Zhou took him to the courtyard of the third young master, I heard that the master asked Master Yuantong to get rid of the demon or something, and the master estimated that he was still in the third young master's room at this time." You must not go to the master, maybe the master will still be angry and blame you. ”

Zi Su ignored Cuizhi's kind persuasion, said that it was fine, and took the bird's nest through several corridors to Zhou Qingming's courtyard.

The gate of the courtyard was closed, and the smell of burning paper talismans wafted from inside.

Don't think about it, this is what Master Yuantong did in the courtyard.

Zi Su felt that if he rashly knocked on the door and entered the courtyard, he would not be blamed by Master Zhou, and he would not see anything. She carefully observed the layout of Zhou Qingming's courtyard, which was the same as the structure of Aunt Song's courtyard.

There are three halls in the courtyard, and there is a wall next to the back of the hall, and there are two wings in the east and west, but there is a small kitchen in the courtyard of Aunt Song, and there is a small garden behind the hall, and there are two rooms where the maids live in the small garden.

The layout of Aunt Song's house, the hall is the place where guests are received, the east wing is Aunt Song's room, and the west wing is the residence of the fifth young master Zhou Kunming.

According to this speculation, Zhou Qingming should live in the East Wing.

The back of the east wing of Zhou Qingming courtyard is very spacious, planted with a few camphor trees, perilla quietly goes around to the back of the east wing, the back of the east wing is a few feet high under the eaves, there is a ventilated window, from the ground, you can only see the snow-white light in the high window.

With the height of the window, Shiso has no way to peek inside at all.

In late autumn, the camphor trees do not lose their leaves all year round, and the dense leaves of several camphor trees are black in the night.

Shiso had an idea, and he could climb up the tree to see what was going on inside the window.

She grew up in Bluestone Bridge as a child, and although she was also the daughter of a well-behaved and sensible family of poets and scholars, she also had naughty times, especially when she played with her naughty brother and learned from boys to climb trees.

I carefully observed the camphor tree facing the window, quietly put the bird's nest in the corner of the wall, and flexibly climbed up the trunk.

The camphor tree has dense branches and is easy to climb, so Shiso found a suitable position and rode on the tree to look through the ventilation window.

Because he was in a high place, everything in the east wing was clear at a glance.

When Shisu saw the situation inside, his face suddenly became hot, his heart was flustered, and he almost fell.

Zhou Qingming was lying on the bed, not wearing any clothes at all, and from above, all the skin on the back of the man was exposed.

Although Shiso has also studied medicine and has seen people, he sometimes sees the arms and calves of some male patients. It was the first time that I really saw all the skin on a man's back.

The girl's shyness suddenly made her unable to look directly.

After a long time, Zi Su heard someone talking in the window, it was Master Zhou's helpless voice, "Master Yuantong, does the situation of the third child have to be re-embedded?" ”

Master Yuantong said: "For the sake of safety, the old man felt that it was necessary, and when the first master Jinghui passed away, he repeatedly told the old man that once the banshee appeared, he must not take it lightly. Not only does the third young master have to re-embed the talisman, but the second young master also needs it, and the fifth young master is not too young. ”

When Zhou Qingming heard this, he seemed to be very frightened, and shouted loudly: "Father, I don't want the embedding talisman, and I don't want to die!" ”

Master Zhou shouted: "If you don't embed the talisman, you would have died a long time ago!" As the children and grandchildren of the Zhou family, this is a must! Someone comes to hold down the third young master, Fu Chun, you plug his mouth with a towel. ”

Hearing a burst of panic and Zhou Qingming's struggling voices inside, the room immediately returned to calm.

The inlay is said to be a magical secret technique of inlaying medicinal stones into the flesh and skin.

Shiso seemed to have a slight impression of this statement, and once in her childhood, she heard her father mention it occasionally.

In the area of Xiangxi and the vicinity of Lingnan, the mountains are high and dense, there are many snakes and insects, some people who rely on the mountains to collect medicine and hunt, will go to the temple to find the monks of Degao, make an inlay on the body, according to the different types of snakes and insects that need to resist the toxicity of snakes and insects, the corresponding medicine stone is stuffed into the skin and flesh, and after integrating into the body, it has resistance to the poison of snakes and insects, as if it is embedded in the skin and flesh of people, the process is very painful, and a special charm is needed to make an introduction, so it is called an inlay.

Hearing that Master Yuantong was going to give Zhou Qingming an inlay talisman, Zi Su couldn't figure it out. The sons of the Zhou Mansion are pampered, and it is impossible to go to the mountains and dense forests, and even if they go, they have a large number of entourage, so they are naturally not afraid of any poisonous snakes and insects.

My father said that these were all rumors, and that he had never seen anyone in his life who practiced medicine.

Of course, Shisu has never seen such a person, let alone how it is inscribed.

Out of curiosity about how to embed the talisman process, Shiso wanted to take a closer look at it at the moment.

But she is a young woman, and she is embarrassed to see Zhou Qingming's body no matter what.

Immediately, the painful scream of Zhou Qingming biting something came from Zisu's ears, which was no different from the scream of killing a pig, which couldn't help but make her tremble for a while.

Master Yuantong continued to recite the scriptures, and occasionally stopped and said aloud: "Third Young Master, you have to endure and endure a little hardship, so that you can live without worry." ”

Hearing Fu Chun's cry of pain, Zhou Qingming seemed to break free of the towel on his mouth, and scolded Master Yuantong for being inferior to pigs and dogs, and the eighteenth generation of ancestors scolded them all over again.

After an hour, Zhou Qingming's scolding became smaller and smaller, and he seemed to be exhausted, and gradually lost his voice.

At this time, Master Zhou didn't seem to care about Zhou Qingming's meaning, but apologized to Master Yuantong.

"Master, thanks to you this time."

Master Yuantong said: "This is a matter of the old man's part, the first master Jinghui Zen Master rebuilt the Fuguang Temple and reshaped the golden body of the Buddha, all of which were the generous help of Master Zhou, and the entrustment of the first master did not dare to forget." Since I promised to become the first teacher, I will embed talismans for the children and grandchildren of the Zhou Mansion, the third young master is still young, but he is not sensible. ”

Master Zhou said: "Then ask the master to re-embed the second young master and the fifth young master." When it is done, I should thank the master. As long as they are all embedded, they will no longer have to be afraid of that banshee, and there will be no more situations like the eldest young master. ”

When Zi Su heard this, he couldn't help but feel heartache Fifth Young Master, he had to suffer such a crime at a young age, Master Zhou was really crazy, could this be the secret of the Zhou Mansion?

The banshee that Master Zhou mentioned again and again, is it Miss Ah Xian?
