Chapter Eighty-Nine: Calming the Heart
Smack-
I saw Rong Feng pick up the teacup on the table and throw it out, the teacup fell apart, accompanied by a cold sneer: "Pretend to be a ghost!" ”
The news of the haunting of the Hou Mansion spread far and wide, and when people were panicking, everyone couldn't help but think of Aunt Zhou's grandmother who died violently, with one corpse and two lives.
Some people say that since Aunt Zhou's death and grandmother Zhou, she often heard the sound of babies crying and women murmuring in the courtyard where she once lived, which taught people to listen to the creepy.
In the past two days, Mrs. Rong was not very comfortable, she slept groggyly, and she always broke out in a sticky cold sweat, and all the matters in the house were handed over to Qi and Rong Feng.
Rong Feng's methods were ruthless, and he dealt with the subordinates who spread rumors everywhere resolutely, and increased the number of people in charge of patrolling every night.
"The fourth girl has no impermeable wall in the world, and the fifth girl and the maidservants around Aunt Wu have witnessed it with their own eyes, and now they are still so frightened that they are lying on the bed talking nonsense, how can they punish us for no reason like this, the old slave is not convinced."
Saying that, the people around him also followed suit, and someone muttered in a low voice: "It is said that people are wronged too much before they die, and after death, they become angry and turn into ghosts to seek revenge, Aunt Zhou's grandmother died a strange death, isn't the fourth girl a thief like this?" ”
Rong Feng closed the tea lid lightly, his half-squinted eyes were slightly raised, his eyes were as cold as a cold star and a cold sword, he slowly glanced at everyone, and the human voice that was boiling like boiling water stopped at once, and it was silent.
Bihua stepped forward to admonish, crossed her hands on her waist, and shouted: "Our girl is doing right, what kind of person is a thief, you said that Aunt Zhou's grandmother died strangely, then you know who killed her, conceal it and don't report it, and the crime will be added to the first degree!" ”
Yun Xiao said: "Our Hou Mansion has gone through two generations of the old Hou Ye and the Hou Ye, although it is not long, but it is also a few decades of days, the courtyard is upright, the back house is clean, and even the people who are slaves and maids in the house are people who know great gifts and etiquette." ”
Qi Shi, who was rushing to be a peacemaker at this moment, suddenly stopped, she stood under the porch and listened to Bihua's words, although no one refuted them, she was unconvinced on her face, and after Yunxiao spoke, she saw that the expressions on everyone's faces were different.
slapped and gave a sweet date, the four girls were afraid that they would talk a lot about their two girls.
Yun Xiao lowered her head, and her voice was gentle: "Everyone goes out and says that they can be subordinates in the Hou Mansion, but it's not a shame, who doesn't envy us...... But if you let outsiders know that the Hou Mansion is haunted and tell others the jokes, it is not only the master of the mansion who has no light on his face. ”
The crowd nodded in agreement one after another, and Fang Cai was the first to speak: "But the four girls can't be angry with us for no reason!" ”
Yun Xiao's eyes were slightly cold, and the smile on her face remained unchanged: "What is this anger, this is the important task entrusted by the four girls, and the punishment of you is let other subordinates know, some things should not be said, and some things should not be done." Punish everyone's monthly silver, do things well in the future, where will the reward be less, everyone is also a rough person to play a few boards without pain or itching, and also send everyone medicine for injuries, and this matter will pass. ”
The ice in Rong Feng's eyes melted slightly, and he got up slowly and methodically, looking down at everyone condescendingly: "Grandmother has permission to invite the Pure Sky Master of Yingmei Nunnery, if it is a ghost, it will be caught, if not, but someone pretends to be a ghost, making a fuss all over the house, don't say that I can't spare her, she doesn't know if she has a life." ”
originally thought that after the saber rattling and the trouble was raging, Rong Feng used thunderous means to suppress it, causing the backlash to become more and more intense, but now Qi couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of his heart, good means, if her sister Han has half of the heart of the four girls, what else is she afraid of.
And when the people were scattered, they departed without complaint.
"The concubine is still worried that the fourth girl is too rigid and easy to break, and she doesn't want me to be narrow-minded."
Rong Feng glanced at Qi's family, and felt strangely annihilated by himself subconsciously: "What is the matter with Aunt Qi's grandmother?" ”
Qi smiled: "Before, the paper money in the house was flying, I thought that the people around the fifth girl did not deal with it, and it was not like the people on Aunt Wu's side who did it." ”
Rong Feng raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh, but Aunt Wu and the fifth sister have never had any grievances, why did she do this?" ”
Qi's hands were folded in front of his knees, and his eyes flickered: "Sister Wu and Aunt Zhou's grandmother have been at odds for a long time, and the magpie accidentally bumped into Ruochan with incense, candles, paper money, and entered the house, naturally it was guessed that it was to pay tribute to Aunt Zhou's grandmother, Sister Wu was unhappy, thinking that the five girls would be favored, but this one thing could only make her suffer some small punishments, and teach her not to do superfluous things for Aunt Zhou's grandmother." ”
Rong Feng was skeptical of Qi's words, but the truth was really as Qi said, Wu was purely unaccustomed to Zhou's death and someone worshipping for her.
"The clearance master of Yingmei Nunnery will be able to arrive at the time of Shen today, and my grandmother is also groggy and not good, and then I will get rid of Aunt Qi's grandmother and worry a lot, and the sixth sister is seeing that she is getting bigger and bigger day by day, so she is just learning more from you to be more stable."
Rong Lian sat in the room, with unfinished needlework on his lap: "People's hearts are undecided, you can't be in a hurry to get better." ”
Ruochan said that the high fever did not go away and the nonsense continued, and she stood beside Rong Lian: "The maid knows, the maid heard that someone has gone to the house to invite the Pure Sky Master to come." ”
Rong Lian's hand moved, his fingertips gently stroked the embroidery pattern of his clothes, and smiled gloomily: "Master Clearance? I haven't seen Master Clearance for a few months, but I want to teach her to spend a good time for my mother. ”
After a pause, Rong Lian looked at the blue sky outside through the gap in the window, and muttered to himself: "Mother, it was your daughter who was too stupid in the past, and you put too much thought into it, but now you died unjustly, and you hide the last big lie for your daughter......"
Suddenly, she sneered to herself: "More and more people in the house respect my good sister, but how can they forget that she is a disaster star who was appointed as a person who takes blessings from birth." ”
……
In Shou'an Hall, in addition to Rong Lian, who was grounded, Pei himself, who had been seriously ill, and Rong Houye, who was entangled in official duties, several girls and aunts took turns to serve Mrs. Rong.
Wu was frightened by Zhou's ghost because of the magpie, and he was also in a trance all day long, his nerves were very sensitive, and he was often frightened by the sound of the shadow of the tree at night, but he was afraid that someone would suspect that Zhou's death had nothing to do with her, so he forced himself to come to Shou'an Hall.
She sat aside, couldn't listen to Rong Han and Rong Feng's conversation, and panicked in her heart, it wasn't the Zhou family she killed, she didn't want to seek revenge or come to me, it was the old lady, the old lady! She can't tolerate Zhou's!
"The old lady's evil wind entered the body, and the doctor's improper medication led to the aggravation of the condition, and the poor nun re-prescribed a new medicine for the old lady, three bowls of water decoction, three times a day, after meals, pay attention to the daily room to be ventilated from time to time, not boring all day."
Mrs. Pure Space withdrew her hand, watched Qin's mother fold the quilt for Mrs. Rong, and when she got up, she saw a string of familiar things hanging on the bed, and couldn't help but say, "This is a gift from the fifth girl to the old lady." ”
Mother Qin nodded and smiled, and her words were secret: "The house has not been peaceful for the past two days, and the fifth girl said that it was enshrined in the Bodhisattva, and the old slave thought that it was the best place to hang here to drive away evil and avoid disaster." ”
The Void Master's nose moved slightly, his eyes looking at the Buddha suddenly changed, and his calm eyes seemed to be struggling with each other, and finally spit out a sentence: "This is the best." ”
When leaving, Master Jingkong looked at Qin's mother and said: "Since the house is not peaceful, it is better for the poor nuns to make some peace charms and hang them on all aspects of the house. ”
Mother Qin folded her hands: "Thank you, Mrs. Shi." ”
After Bihua took the peace charm back to Shu Ge, she thought that what happened that night was hidden by the girl, and the people in the house only knew that it was the fifth girl and Aunt Wu who suffered the disaster.
"The girl doesn't believe in strange powers, and she hates that Pure Sky Master even more, aren't you using this thing to make the girl angry?" Yun Xiao made the bed and reached out to smooth the folds on the quilt.
Bihua took the peace charm and said at a loss: "Mother Qin's order, I dare not take it there, besides, we also saw it that day, do you say that it is really Aunt Zhou's grandmother who came to ask for her life?" ”
"If you want me to say, if Aunt Zhou and Grandma really become a powerful ghost to ask for their lives, Ruochan and Magpie still have their lives, the first one who can't escape is Aunt Wu, and Aunt Zhou and Grandma Zhou have a close relationship with the five girls, how can they scare them." Yun Xiao turned around and analyzed carefully.
But she really couldn't figure out why the girl hated the Pure Sky Master and agreed to ask her to catch some kind of ghost of Raushzi.
Bihua thought for a while and guessed: "Could it be that Aunt Zhou's grandmother has something to explain to five." ”
The word "girl" was forced back into her stomach, but she forgot to hide the peace charm in her hand.
Yun Xiao: "Girl." ”
Rong Feng walked in slowly, and when he saw the peace charm in Bihua's hand, his face sank suddenly: "Heh-bring scissors!" ”
Yunxiao knew that she couldn't persuade Rong Feng, so she had to straighten up and get the scissors out.
Bihua also looked like she had made a mistake, and handed the peace charm to Rong Feng as if flattering: "Girl, do you say that someone is really pretending to be a ghost?" ”
Rong Feng lowered his head, revealing his white neck, and twisted the peace charm into a few scattered pieces in three strokes.
"It doesn't matter if it's true or not, it's a mess after all."
After speaking, Rong Feng stared at the fragment, her eyes were slightly condensed, as if a cold light flashed, she put down the scissors, picked up a fragment, and there was a white interlayer under the yellow rune paper.
Gently pulling it out with her fingernails, Yunxiao and Bihua took a closer look: "August? ”
"It's like a birthday."
Rong Fengfu was so spiritual that his eyes widened for a moment: "Find out all the papers inside." ”
After a while, Yun Xiao pieced together the pieces of paper, a small note less than two fingers wide: "Xi Shi Liuqing Ding Mao Nian Ji Youyue...... Proxin ......"
Yun Xiao lost his voice and said, "...... This is Aunt Zhou's grandmother's birthday. ”
