3. Zhu Men stained blood and complained of affection
"Why does Mademoiselle attach so much importance to that wooden door?" Lishu has been serving by Meng Nanjun's side since she was a child, and she knows that if she repeats something twice, she will notice what clues are there, so she asked with some curiosity.
Meng Nanjun just asked: "Do you think Zhou Xu really loves Yunqi?" ”
Li Shuben didn't have much affection for Zhou Xu, and shook his head when she asked, "It's not that the maid doesn't think that he is a poor scholar who is not worthy of the Liu family, but Zhou Gongzi is like that, and he has no manhood at all, but he still wants to pretend to be high, and it is very disgusting just to look at it."
What's more, when he asked to marry Miss Liu, the Liu family said that unless he could be in the top three in high school, he would never approve of this marriage. He really has to like Miss Liu a little, not to mention high school, at least he has to be diligent and hardworking, but how does he do it? Leave a letter to Miss Liu saying that she was deeply humiliated by the Liu family, and she no longer had the face to stay in the imperial capital, and in the end, she forced Miss Liu to threaten her with death, so that her father and mother would succumb. What does such a man do to him? It's better to have a dog, at least the dog still knows how to take care of the home, but he only knows to hide behind Miss Liu. ”
This is not very good, but it can be regarded as to hit the nail on the head, Meng Nanjun threw an appreciative look at her, but said: "I think Zhou Xu may really like Yun Qi, but compared to Yun Qi, he likes himself more." In the next few days, Yunqi's side is estimated to change the wooden door, and you have people keep an eye on where Zhou Xu will move the vermilion lacquer gate, and it is best to bring it back to me quietly. ”
The two sentences do not match the preamble, but there is not much to explain, Lishu originally wanted to ask her what was strange about the vermilion lacquer door, but Leng Buding looked at Mrs. Meng's solemn face in the upper courtyard, and the question was immediately eliminated.
"How many times have I told you not to run around when there are many people, why don't you listen?" Mrs. Meng's cold face was really a little scary, at least Meng Nanjun didn't dare to resist at all, so she saluted first.
"Today, March 3rd, my daughter wants to see if she can find someone who is destined."
As soon as the words fell, the tea cup in Mrs. Meng's hand was put down, and the crisp sound on the stone table made Meng Nanjun's heart empty, and her eyes drooped lower and lower.
"Dress like this to find someone who is destined, are you going to bring a woman back and kill me and your father?"
As soon as the familiar words entered her ears, Meng Nanjun couldn't help but feel that Liu Yunqi and her mother were like mothers and daughters, and their thoughts coincided in case of trouble, but she didn't dare to say more about this kind of joke at this time, so she only lowered her head and wrung her sleeves.
As soon as Mrs. Meng saw her appearance of "obediently listening to persuasion and dying without repentance", she was angry, and who knew that she wanted to say more, but she saw a red leaf falling from her clothes, and the words of the lesson were blocked in her throat.
I went out today, and I received a lot of peach blossoms, Meng Nanjun didn't reply, and at this time, I was still a little stunned when I saw the red leaves of the hundred-leaf peach under my feet, and I thought that I didn't just pick two pieces and throw them out, why did it fall on me? As a result, when I looked up, I saw Mrs. Meng's red eyes.
Knowing that she must have misunderstood, Meng Nanjun couldn't stand the weakness of her cold beauty, and hurriedly explained: "I went out today and encountered a ghost to make trouble, causing two carriages to collide head-on, I picked this leaf to use as a weapon, and it has nothing to do with others." ”
Meng Nanjun has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she was raised by her father and mother in the palm of her hand, if she dares to learn from Liu Yunqi and make a private life, Mrs. Meng will never accept it.
Just heard Meng Nanjun explain that the peach blossom leaves were not given by others, and she was inexplicably a little disappointed in her heart, which was really contradictory. So he looked up and down at his ignorant girl with some pickiness, and saw that the red marks on her face were different from usual.
"So, you didn't draw the red mark on your face yourself?" Mrs. Meng asked.
It's no wonder that Mrs. Meng didn't pay much attention to the red marks on her face when she first saw her, but Meng Nanjun always likes to add a few strokes to her face on weekdays, either painting red marks or scars, in short, how ugly it is, this is also one of the means to scare away the matchmaker.
Meng Nanjun saw that he had leaked his mouth, and he was afraid that the injury on his face could not be fooled, so he had to nod.
"Your father and I raised you so big, but I didn't let you go to death, how many times have I told you to let you stay away from this kind of thing on weekdays, why don't you listen?" As he muttered, Mrs. Meng pulled the person to his side and took a closer look.
Although Mrs. Meng's qualifications are not high, she has more experience than Meng Nanjun, and the wound she can't see can be seen in her eyes, and her eyebrows are slightly frowned.
"Grounded for half a month, you don't want to go anywhere in this half month, just give me an An An to stay in the punishment hall and draw talismans and memorize spells."
Seeing that look, he was obviously angry, and Meng Nanjun had no choice but to receive the punishment for half a month, and took the cinnabar yellow paper to the punishment hall miserably.
Lishu has been waiting at the gate of the courtyard since Meng Nanjun entered the courtyard, and when she saw her coming out with a bunch of things, she knew which family method Mrs. Meng used, so she didn't ask a word, just took care of everything in the punishment hall for her, and then went to Liu Yunqi.
"Can Gongzi Zhou be at home?" After Lishu entered the door, he first asked.
Liu Yunqi was practicing calligraphy at the time, and replied without raising his head: "He went to the academy, and it is estimated that he will come back later." Your young lady wants you to talk? ”
"I really can't hide anything from Miss Liu," Lishu stepped forward with a smile, "Our young lady has let Madame grounded her again, but because she is worried about the door of Miss Liu's house, she still doesn't worry about letting her maid come and take a look." ”
Hearing that she attached so much importance to the vermilion lacquer gate, Liu Yunqi couldn't help but feel a little funny, "Didn't your young lady take a fancy to that door?" You tell her that if she really likes it, I'll make a new one for her, so why bother making so many detours? ”
Knowing that Liu Yunqi was joking, Lishu also responded, "Listening to Miss mention it three times and twice, the maid also felt that she was afraid that she would not have a soft spot for Miss Liu's family, but when she went back and asked, she found out that this Zhu Qi Door can only be used by rich and noble people, although Miss Liu has this money to buy, she can marry her husband, and the title deed of this house is also the name and surname of Zhou Gongzi." Zhou Gongzi was born in a poor family, and it is still too early to use vermilion lacquer, and it will even damage his luck. These words are not good for Miss Zhou to say in front of Gongzi Zhou, and the maid will convey them on her behalf, and I hope that Miss Liu will not be surprised. ”
The Liu family is not an ordinary family, if it was the reason mentioned by Meng Nanjun when she came to her this morning, maybe she would not have taken it to heart, after all, she would still have this kind of bearing from a big family, and she didn't care what others thought of her.
But as soon as Lishu said that it would damage Zhou Xu's luck, she had to be a little more cautious, stopped her pen and thought about it and asked, "Is what your young lady said accurate?" ”
"Although the Meng family has declined, in the end, it was also a big feng shui family in the imperial capital, and the young lady has learned a lot, so it is still okay to look at the feng shui of a small house. Besides, it is better to believe that there is something and not to believe it, and Miss will not harm Miss Liu. ”
A few words moved Liu Yunqi, and on the same day, he asked people to come over to dismantle the old and replace the new, and when Lishu came back with two doors, he only felt that it was very smooth, and let people carry the wooden door into the punishment hall and invite his own lady to take credit.
"Now the young lady can tell the maid why she pays so much attention to these two wooden doors, right?" Lishu squatted beside her and pondered with her, and at the same time asked about what he had been entangled in for a long time.
Meng Nanjun was squatting and touching the door, but as soon as her hand stretched out, she was blocked by the pear book that came over, and she couldn't help but kick her lightly, "Pour tea on the side, and I'll tell you when I'm done." ”
Lishu is at an age when he is easy to be curious, and he is very diligent in preparing to serve tea and water, and Meng Nanjun is also looking for this opportunity and closes his right eye.
After a moment of adaptation, wisps of black gas appeared in front of him, and the wooden door wrapped in it was originally a primary color, and there were blood spots painted into words one by one-
Zhou Lang knows my heart, and the long silk endows me with affection;
Zhou Lang knew what I wanted, and he didn't travel thousands of miles.
When the shutters first opened, I asked Zhou Langyin;
The shutters are about to end again, and I am abandoned by Zhou Lang.
Forty words appeared one by one, as if someone had bitten his finger and engraved blood on the door.
A little bit of blood dripped from the air, staining the handwriting and soaking the two wooden doors, but in a few breaths, the door was the same as before.
"What does Miss write?"
Lishu's voice came from behind, Meng Nanjun opened his eyes, relieved himself after a moment of dizziness, and handed over a tea cup in front of him, "We have no tea here, so the maid went to Mrs. to ask for a pot, and Mrs. asked if Miss was serious about drawing talismans, and the maid rounded the past for Miss, who knew that Miss was writing love poems here." ”
Originally, he only had time to read a few words, and Lishu thought that Meng Nanjun was writing love poems, but when he looked at the first four "Zhou Lang", he suddenly became uncomfortable, "Didn't Miss Liu write it to Zhou Gongzi." ”
After saying that, he shook and rubbed his arm.
Meng Nanjun copied according to the words that appeared on the two doors, so he didn't think too much, and immediately remembered when he was reminded by Lishu, Zhou Xu is not this "Zhou Lang".
Otherwise, how could the so-called "love poems" appear on his door.
"No, Miss Liu and Zhou Gongzi didn't know each other on March 3, and Zhou Gongzi categorically didn't dare to give up Miss Liu, the first half of what Miss wrote can still be read, how did the second half of it be written like this?" As he spoke, he also picked up the pen and crossed out the last five words, and then smiled with satisfaction: "When the hundred leaves first opened, I asked Zhou Langyin; The shutters are about to end again, and Zhou Lang is abandoned by me. That's what makes a good poem. ”
"If you want me to say that even if Yun Qi doesn't want him in the end, it's not a good story, this person shouldn't have appeared by Yun Qi's side in the first place, and it's plain and embarrassing." Connecting the ghost shadow he saw today and the ethereal female voice in his ears, Meng Nanjun also understood.
Lishu didn't know what she was thinking, so she could only sigh lightly, "If you want the maid to say that these two people shouldn't meet, our Miss Liu should marry a big official, or a general, after all, it can't be like Zhou Gongzi." Even if she likes to be weaker, so many capable officials in the court are not selected by him, no matter how good the staff of the Prime Minister's Mansion who came to her to ask for marriage. These are all capable people, why did Miss Liu fall in love with him. ”
Hearing her sigh, Meng Nanjun also had to say that it was exactly what she thought in her heart, but when her eyes touched the few sentences in front of her, she hooked the corners of her lips again, "But this Zhou Gongzi is a little more capable than we thought." ”
"How so?"
"Didn't you ask me what the use of these two doors were?" Meng Nanjun sold it first.
Li Shu slapped his head, and secretly scolded himself in his heart for being diverted by Meng Nanjun for a long time, and even forgot what he wanted to ask, so he hurriedly asked again: "What's the use, Miss can't continue to play with the maid." ”
"This wooden door is not only painted with paint, but also with human blood."
Lishu has been in the Meng family for so long, and he has heard a lot of ghosts and ghosts, but he still can't help but gasp at this time, "Isn't that the person who is the doorkeeper has a little problem with his brain, how dare he do such a hurtful thing?" And what's in it for him? It can't just be a pleasure. ”
"And what if I copied these words from the door?"
Lishu didn't think about it so much, and leaned his head to look at the door, "It can't be that the person who made the door was let down by Zhou Gongzi...... Where is the word, why didn't the maid see it? ”
"Of course you can't see it, because it's a female ghost."
