Chapter 22: Haunted?

Carefully helped Xuan'er clean up the wound and told Xiao'er what to pay attention to when taking care of it, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and came out of Xuan'er's house.

Hui'er had already erected a sandalwood brocade screen in my room, and prepared a bath bucket, soap beans, and cloth towels. Lan'er brought two plates of eight-treasure braised vegetables from the kitchen, a snowflake bean paste roll, and a bowl of shredded chicken Yangchun noodles. The green chives and the rich aroma of the chicken soup succeeded in arousing my cravings.

I had eaten a lot of food, and I had just come all the way from the firewood room, touching my belly, and I was already hungry.

Lan'er stepped back and called two rough mothers-in-law from the kitchen to bring a large bucket of hot water.

The two mothers-in-law shouted hello outside the yard, threw the bucket to the door and hurried away. Hui'er has always been fast-talking, but this time she didn't say anything, and only stepped forward to carry the hot water into the house with Lan'er.

I thought that the news of my mother's poisoning must have spread, and the people in the house despised me, disdained me, and did not care, only to deal with the wounds on my body with peace of mind. The wounds on his body were not deep, they had healed, and there were still deep and shallow bruises and crusts of blood that had congealed.

Since the wound was fine, I also relaxed and took a comfortable hot bath.

In the steam, the whole body is comfortable, thousands of pores are stretched, sleepiness gradually rises, and the eyelids begin to fight non-stop, lazy and lazy.

Hui'er was too quiet behind the screen, probably for fear that I would catch a cold, so she whispered to me.

I slept in a daze, and I didn't answer. Hui'er was a little worried, took three or two steps around the screen, and woke me up anxiously: "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Wake up! ”

I opened my eyes, dizzy for a long time, looked at Hui'er with an anxious face, and asked strangely: "What's wrong, Hui'er, I'm just sleepy for a while, take a nap, what are you nervous about?" ”

Hui'er breathed a long sigh of relief and said curtly: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm just worried that Miss has a cold." ”

"What a fuss." I smiled, quickly got up and cleaned up, climbed onto the bed, pulled the brocade quilt next to me, wrapped my whole body, and felt more comfortable than ever.

Before I could close my eyes, Aunt Nine came to see me crying.

Thinking of the night before yesterday, Aunt Nine fought hard to block two whips for me, and my heart was still very moved.

Her love for me is different from that of her father, who is the head of the family, and in his heart, the Su family will always come first. Therefore, my father's love for his children is too wise and calm, in order to find out who is behind the poison, he can wronged me and ignore my feelings, I think that one day, he will also give up the happiness of our children for the future of the Su family.

Aunt Nine is different, her father is not her alone, and I am also calling my mother to others, but in her heart, she is the only one who is really close to me, and I am all she has. That's why she, who has always been indifferent, straightened up and quarreled with Aunt Seven for the sake of my reputation, and when she misunderstood that I had done something wrong the day before, she protected me regardless of it, and even lowered her posture, knelt down and begged a woman she didn't like, begging for her forgiveness.

I understand that her love for me is genuine and unreserved, maybe we just haven't run in the right way to get along for the time being. The estrangement between the first meeting has gradually dissipated, and I am slowly approaching her.

She pulled me nervously to inquire about my injuries, and when she saw the wounds behind my ears and on my forehead, she rubbed lightly and her eyes reddened with distress.

I snuggled into her soft arms, hung her neck, and murmured: "Auntie, you are so noisy, I'm not good, just a little skin trauma." ”

Her body stiffened for a moment, then began to tremble slightly, and she tried hard to suppress it at first, but then she couldn't hold it anymore, and put her arms around my back and sobbed quietly.

"Poor boy, even if you do something wrong, the eldest young master can't do such a ruthless hand. Especially when it hurts the face, won't it break the appearance? ”

I was half coquettish, half coaxed for a long time, she stopped her tears, looked around my house, and finally said word by word: "Qingwu, change the yard with your aunt to live, you move over tonight, and it's not too late to move things tomorrow." ”

I'm a little puzzled, this yard Qingyin lived for a few days, she likes to show off the gorgeous decoration, the house is splendid curtains, colorful tassels, glass bead curtains, although the toss is a little cheesy, but it is spotlessly clean, or quite comfortable. And looking at the original furniture, it is also extremely exquisite, which can reveal the taste of the owner here.

"Why, it's quiet and quiet, which suits my heart."

She looked a little anxious: "It's too remote here, it's inconvenient to do things. And next to the fence in the backyard, the guards are not tight enough, my aunt is worried about your safety, isn't what happened in the middle of the night last time enough? ”

"That's just a coincidence, and it's not in this yard." I whispered relief.

"I have thought carefully about what you said that night, and I have asked your father, and he has been perfunctory to me. I thought about it myself carefully, and I knew that things were definitely not as simple as he said, Qing'an, you must be honest with me, is someone trying to harm you?! ”

I just remembered that the night before, because I had been wronged, I was excited and angry for a while, and I told the story and the situation. Although it was only a word, many people thought it was just me shirking and talking nonsense for a while. But Aunt Yi's concern for me and her intelligence must have guessed a few points.

To tell the truth, I can't tell the truth, I'm a little annoyed with my mouth, how to fill the hole I dug now?

Fortunately, although he was angry that day, he was not so open-mouthed, and the word "lewd thief" was really ashamed to speak, and he said "plot", so he picked up the matter of the frightened horse and the purple clay pot halfway and told his aunt 1510, concealed the thief's matter, and reluctantly perfunctory. I was afraid that she would continue to get to the bottom of it, and she also told her how she misunderstood Xuan'er and her mother.

Aunt Jiu was also a little surprised: "I really didn't expect Xuan'er, this girl, to be so affectionate and righteous, and we have been misunderstanding her." These girls can serve you with their hearts, which is also your luck. ”

After a few sighs, my aunt turned her tone back to the courtyard, insisting on changing places with me.

My aunt's courtyard is separate from us, my mother doesn't like us to be too close, Aunt Nine has always been cautious in her words and deeds, why did she have a whim today, ignore the rules of the house, and move out of the courtyard where she has lived for more than ten years? Naturally, I refused.

Hui'er boiled a cup of ginseng tea on the charcoal stove in the yard to shock me, and when she brought it in, she saw me looking at her helplessly, so she immediately understood and said: "Miss is cold, drink a cup of hot ginseng tea, cover the quilt and rest for a while, just sweat a little." ”

Aunt Jiu immediately got up: "Then I'll go back first, you have a good rest." When you are willing to move to my yard, just send the girls over and say it. Then he looked around my room again and said uneasily, "If you have nothing to do at night, rest early, and don't run around." Let the girls sleep and be vigilant. ”

I obediently responded one by one, and insisted on sending Aunt Nine out of the house, only to see her personal maid waiting outside the courtyard, and when I saw her out of the house, I exhaled a long breath.

Turning around, I lowered my face and said to Hui'er behind me, "Follow me back to the house!" ”

I sat on a chair under the middle hall of the middle room, stared at Hui'er in front of me, with a serious face, and said word by word: "Tell me the reason." ”

Hui'er lowered her head and wrapped her white knuckles around her skirt, not daring to look into my eyes: "What reason?" The slave didn't understand. ”

"Are you hiding from me together? Shouldn't I be your master? Why is everyone afraid of this yard, talking about the change of color, the people in the house are, the mother-in-law in the kitchen is also, and Aunt Nine also insists on changing the yard with me, do you think I can't see it? I asked with a slight scolding.

Hui'er was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, her face full of nervousness: "Miss, the slave doesn't dare!" ”

"Get up." I sighed, "I know that you must be hiding it from me for my own good, and I don't blame you." ”

Hui'er got up from the ground, still hanging her head: "We were afraid that Miss would know and be afraid, so we made an appointment not to tell you that we knew." Originally, it was also groundless and exaggerated facts. ”

I looked at Hui'er with a smile: "Actually, even if you don't say it, I guessed seven or eight points, when I was in the firewood room, you and Lan'er's reaction was too intense, I don't think I can doubt it." Is there something wrong with this yard? ”

Hui'er looked up in surprise, glanced around, swallowed hard, and nodded.

"It turns out that Qingyin was fine when she lived? I didn't hear what was going on, so I told me word for word. ”

Hui'er pondered for a moment before she said in a deep voice, "We heard that this courtyard has been haunted recently!" ”

Although I had expected it, I still couldn't help but be taken aback when I heard the words, and looked around, the house was facing the sun, and now it has not yet entered the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River, although the sun is not bright and dazzling, but it is also bright, shining through the fine spinning carved windows, the whole house is warm and quiet. There is a trace of eerie coolness there.

"Since there is such a rumor, there must be a reason for it, but who was scared?"

"Hmm," Hui'er nodded slightly, "I also heard most of these things from small samples. I heard that this courtyard was the residence of the third aunt in the original house. ”

"Third aunt? I heard that he had an emergency illness and died at a young age. "I still have some impressions in my heart, although Xuan'er and Aunt Jiu have said a word at the beginning.

"Her heart seems to be not very good by nature, afraid of noise, the lord built this courtyard for her here, and she usually doesn't often interact with the aunts in the house, cold and arrogant. She likes wisteria flowers, and the wisteria flowers in the yard were planted by her own hands more than ten years ago, so she named them wisteria Xiaozhu for the occasion. Originally, there were several embroidery frames under the flower stand, and the third aunt loved to sit there and write and draw in her spare time. Later, one morning, the subordinates got up early and found that the third aunt had died under the flower stand, without any wounds on her body, as if she had vomited blood and died, blood was splashed on the ground, and the flowers and vines were everywhere.
