In the Hefeng Courtyard, Mama Zhao and Sanqi were still folding silver ingots.

It's just that although it was sunny outside, there was always some moisture in the air, so Mama Zhao spread the tin foil and colored paper on the round table in the bright room of the main room. As soon as Sanniang entered the house, she smelled the smell of paste and ink all over the room.

"This paste was from yesterday?" Bai Guo sniffed and asked.

"Seeing that there is still a lot of paste left over from yesterday, I will use it." Mama Zhao also wrinkled her nose and sniffed, and said suspiciously: "What?" Is it spoiled? ”

"It seems to have some taste." Bai Guo nodded, then turned to Bai Ying and asked, "Isn't it, Sister Bai Ying?" ”

Bai Ying walked to the table, wiped a piece with her fingers and put it in her mouth to taste it, frowned, took out a handkerchief and gently spit it on the handkerchief: "I'll go and boil it again." So saying, he went out.

Mama Zhao looked at Sanqi with disgust and said, "You girl, Mama is old and her nose is not smart and she can't smell it, why don't you remind me?" ”

Sanqi blushed a little and said, "The slave maid thinks that the paste is not used to eat, and it can be used even if it is broken." In the past, when the slaves and maids were at home, they were all like this, and it was a pity to fall down. ”

Mama Zhao then remembered that she was not an errand boy in the house before, and the Pingtou people's family naturally could better appreciate the gold and preciousness of firewood, rice, oil and salt, so she didn't say anything about her.

Sanniang sent Bai Zhi to serve her tea, and sat down next to Mama Zhao.

"Mama, I just saw a mama in charge of the flower dock over there, and she can't speak. Is there also such a handicapped person in the house who can enter the house and work as an errand? Sanniang picked up a paper ingot, played with it, and asked casually.

Mama Zhao squinted her eyes and thought about it, and suddenly said, "Oh, Miss is talking about Mama Hua!" ”

Sanniang nodded, propping her head and looking at Mama Zhao.

Mama Zhao knew that this was what the young lady wanted to hear her say. After thinking about it, he said: "This flower mama was the grandmother next to the old lady before, and after the old lady passed away, she was sent to the flower room. She used to be able to speak, but I heard that her voice was bad after a while. ”

Sanniang lowered her eyes thoughtfully: "Is her surname Hua?" I've never heard of that last name. ”

Mama Zhao shook her head: "I call her Mama Hua because she always deals with flowers and plants." Everyone called her so much that they forgot her previous name. It used to be called ...... Oh, I think I've heard someone call her Ganquan's family. ”

Sanniang was stunned for a moment, and put down the hand that was supporting half of her cheek. frowned and looked at Mama Zhao and said, "Mama, what do you say her name is?" ”

Mama Zhao didn't know why: "Ganquan's family, what's wrong with you, Miss?" ”

Sanniang's eyes flashed. Shaking his head, he smiled: "I thought her surname was Hua, maybe she would have some elegant name." I didn't expect it to be so ordinary. ”

Mama Zhao smiled and glanced at Sanniang dotingly, as if she was laughing at her childlike nature.

Sanniang smiled, lowered her head and played with the ingots in her hand, and didn't ask anymore.

The name "Ganquan Family" was mentioned by the mother-in-law named Fu Quanjia when she was in Sun's room last night. There are never so many coincidences in this world.

A person who has been dead for more than ten years, the body is not decomposed, the clothes are intact, the coffin is not decomposed, but the face is just unclear. She didn't believe in such a thing in the first place. If someone is making trouble about this matter, then the only person who can make the body and coffin of "Yulai" exactly the same as more than ten years ago is the person who helped her decorate the funeral.

Last night, the mother-in-law said that there were two people who decorated the rain back then, one was her and the other was from Ganquan's family.

Just now in the flower dock, Sanniang saw the turtledove and was a little suspicious, the bird is not afraid of people because of the preferential treatment in this Wang family, and it will not be able to drive away with its arms. The turtle dove can only be familiar with Mama Hua. She often has to be fed. She had just seen the traces of the thin thread on the two thin legs of the turtledove, which reminded her of the fluttering of wings and the sound of bells last night.

Sanniang was thinking about it while watching Mama Zhao cut the colored paper on the table into the shape of clothes, and Sanqi was making lace on clothes. I was fascinated when I looked at it.

"Mama, the paste is ready." Bai Ying came in with a steaming bowl.

"It's still hot, so let's put it aside to dry." Mama Zhao glanced at the dense concentration of the bowl of paste, nodded, and pointed to the small ones on the side.

Bai Ying put down the bowl and came over to help Mama Zhao cut paper.

Because this matter involved the Sun family, Sanniang deliberately avoided Bai Ying just now. It's not that I'm afraid of her betrayal, I'm just afraid that she will be embarrassed. This time this incident seems to have been planned by the person in the shadows for a long time, although she targeted Mama Hua, but Sanniang didn't know if there was anyone else behind Hua Moumou.

These backyard battles, as long as they don't involve the interests of her and Wang Jing, she doesn't want to intervene, and finally puts herself in. But if Bai Ying knew that this matter was related to Mama Hua, she would hesitate to tell Sun. In the end, she may be involved in the Hefeng Courtyard and expose her.

When Yoo was about to return, she didn't want to get herself in trouble.

But if things are allowed to develop and chaos happens...... There may be a fire at the city gate, which will affect her, the fish in the pond. Sanniang frowned slightly, a little embarrassed.

"Miss, why are you frowning at the underworld clothes in the hands of the slaves? But the slave didn't do well? Sanqi spread the paper clothes in his hand on the table and looked at it carefully.

"No, I think you're skillful, and I'm just a little worried about my craft." Sanniang smiled slightly and shook her head.

"Miss, don't worry, Mama will teach you slowly, you can always teach, if you can't do it, Mama will help you do it. Miss should go to the study to read, we will be here for us. "Mama Zhao is always like this, she will be anxious when Sanniang can't learn, but she can't see others say that Sanniang is not good, even if Sanniang herself.

Sanniang nodded with a smile and went to the study.

I picked up a book from the shelf, leaned back on the couch, and although I turned a few pages, I didn't pay attention. Yuan Niang, Wang Zhang, Erfang, Sun, these people all appeared in her mind one by one.

She likes Yuan Niang's sister, and if she can help her Sanniang, she is also willing, and she can also let Wang Zhang accept her love. It's just that this favor can only help secretly.

She has never harmed others and self-interest, and naturally it is impossible to benefit others and harm herself, Sanniang said secretly.

Sun came back from the Qingming Temple near dinner, and she entered the house with several monks of the Qingming Temple, and I heard the maids say that they were all famous monks.

When Bai Guo came back from the kitchen with the dinner box, he put the plates in the food box on the table, and whispered to Sanqi on the side about the gossip he had just heard in the kitchen.

“…… I heard that the four mages are very good, once His Majesty invited mages from all over the world to take turns to preach in the royal temple Dabei Temple in Beijing, when these four mages have been, can give lectures to the emperor, it must be a high monk! ”

Sanqi just buried his head in the dishes and chopsticks, as if he had turned a deaf ear.

Bai Guo was accustomed to Sanqi's silent temperament, so he didn't think it was a pestle, but said even more excitedly: "I also heard that sister-in-law Xi in the big kitchen said that they had caught ghosts for a merchant's house before!" ”

Sanqi glanced at Bai Guo, Bai Guo thought that Sanqi was interested in her topic, so she hurriedly came closer and said, "Let me tell you, that merchant lives in Xinzhuang Town, Pingzitan, Wuding Prefecture, and makes a fortune by running a sea boat. The head of their family is a local bully who bullies men and women, and once this master fell in love with a small boat lady, so he took people back to him as the eighteenth concubine. But this little boat lady has been married to someone since she was a child, so she naturally would rather die than obey, and in the end she was forced to touch the pillar. ”

Sanqi shook his head, his face unbearable, and continued: "Since then, strange things have come. In the merchant's house, a woman could be heard singing the boat song every night, and the old man asked the family to look for someone with a lantern, but they could not find anyone by only hearing the song, and then the old man fell ill for no reason. In the end, their wife had no choice, so she invited the master of Qingming Temple to go. Strange to say, after the mages performed a ritual in his courtyard, the strange singing disappeared, and the old man gradually got better. ”

"According to you, those mages are also good and evil? That old man obviously deserves it. Bai Shao, a little girl who had been listening to a little girl next to her, couldn't help but interject.

"This ......" Bai Guo thought about it for a while, and finally said: "Doesn't it say that people are humane, ghosts have ghost ways, the soul of the boat lady is always wandering in this world, and it is not good for her, and the monk also hopes that the boat girl can be reincarnated as soon as possible." Besides, in this world, good is rewarded with good and evil is rewarded with evil, and if it is not reported, it must be before the hour comes. Although the old man's illness gradually improved, one day he went out and drank some more wine, and when he finally came back, he was found drunk and dead in the carriage. ”

"You're chewing on the root of your tongue in the lady's room again! Carefully, Mama Zhao heard it and gave you the first place to eat! Bai Ying stood behind Bai Guo at some point, stretched out her index finger and tapped the back of her head.

"Hehe, Sister Bai Ying." Bai Guo stuck out her tongue, smiled flatteringly, and then ran away to the other side, and Bai Ying could only glare at her.

Sanniang watched from the sidelines, shaking her head and smiling.

However, it was not enough for Sun to invite a Taoist priest to Zhuangzi outside the city, and he also invited a monk to his home. It seems that she really believes in this revenge of the soul. Thinking of the cautious attitude that I heard last night about Sun's treatment of the corpse of the girl named Yulai, the grievances suffered by the girl back then must have been not small.

This night, Sun's side sent an order saying that tonight, the courtyards in the house will be spooned when the unitary is over, and no one is allowed to walk around the house. Sun's statement to the outside world is that he invited the mage in Qingming Temple to come in advance to pray for the Midyear Festival, but in the past two days, the rumor of haunting in the house has spread all over the world, although no one dares to question Sun's words on everyone's face, only everyone knows what they think in their hearts.

Therefore, this night, everyone in the house only vaguely saw that there seemed to be light coming from the West Garden, and the sound of monks chanting. But because of Sun's order, he couldn't go to find out.

It was only early the next morning that someone passing by the West Garden found that the mottled wooden door of Bailing Pavilion was nailed with peach charms, and there were nine thick iron nails with strange arrangements inserted into the door. ()
