Chapter 102: Sun's Taboo
When Sanniang arrived at Desun's room, Wuniang was talking to Yuan Niang about yesterday's begging incident, and said that when she got up early this morning and the girls brought her the melon and fruit plate, there was already a layer of dense cobwebs on it.
Yuan Niang has been listening to her patiently on the side, and occasionally praising her appropriately, Wu Niang smiled with crooked eyebrows. When I looked up and saw Sanniang coming, I didn't wait for anyone to sit down, so I pulled Sanniang again and said what she just said, and I also thought of Sanniang's praise of "the fifth sister is really ingenious".
Liu Niang, who didn't want to sit on the round stool collapsed by Sun's, suddenly said impatiently: "It's just a broken cobweb, you have been nagging like a broken mouth for a morning, annoying or not!" ”
Wu Niang pursed her lips and was about to refute, but when the words came to her mouth, she rolled her eyes, but she covered her mouth and smiled: "Why does it sound so wrong when I say that the words of the sixth sister!" Every day in previous years, isn't it the sixth sister who shows off everywhere with your throat around? Last year, I was sick and didn't come to my grandmother's room to say goodbye, so you were afraid that I didn't know, so you sent a little maid to my yard with a fruit bowl to show me. This year is strange, from the moment you enter the house in the morning, you are depressed, and no one will mention your melon and fruit plate. ”
Speaking of this, Wu Niang looked at Liu Niang with ill will and said, "It can't be that you haven't even seen a single spider silk in your melon and fruit bowl this year, right?" ”
Liuniang's face turned red, but she said recklessly: "How is it possible!" The cobwebs on my fruit plate must be better than yours! ”
Seeing that Wu Niang squinted at her in disbelief, Liu Niang said loudly: "If you don't believe it, we'll compare it later!" It wasn't me who didn't have cobwebs on the melon and fruit plate, it was, it was the fourth sister. Fourth sister, do you say yes? ”
Liuniang looked at Siniang with a threatening look in her eyes.
Siniang glanced at Liuniang, and stopped talking a little. In the end, he still bit his lip and lowered his head and said, "Sixth sister is right, it is that my melons and fruits have not formed nets on their plates." ”
Liu Niang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wu Niang demonstratively. Wu Niang rolled her eyes and turned her head to ignore her.
Liuniang looked at Siniang beside her and bowed her head silently with an aggrieved face, remembering that she had just made a breath with Liuniang. pushed his melon and fruit plate without cobwebs to her, and he couldn't help but feel a little reluctant in his heart. opened his mouth to defend Siniang: "Actually, you can't blame the fourth sister for not having a net in the melon and fruit plate, it was a mother-in-law who pushed the fruit plate on the table when she got up at night last night, and the happy spider in it ran away." If the happy spider hadn't run away, the fourth sister's melon and fruit plate would definitely have been able to produce cobwebs. ”
"What did the good woman do when she knocked over her plate?" Wu Niang obviously didn't believe it.
I don't want Liuniang to hear this, and suddenly said angrily: "Who knows why she suddenly became a nightmare!" This morning I asked the girl to question her, but she made up a ghost story to scare me! Look at me, I can't wait, my mother drove her out of the house! ”
"I said why was there such a commotion in the yard early this morning, it turned out that you, the troublemaker, were teaching your mother-in-law a lesson because of a spider. How do you say that sentence: But women and villains are difficult to raise! Wang Ji shook his head and said.
Liu Niang has always been at odds with her brother. Hearing this, he was extremely angry, but because of Sun's presence, he couldn't attack, so he could only glance at Wang Ji fiercely.
Wu Niang was aroused by Liu Niang's words: "Sixth sister, what kind of ghost story did that mother-in-law make up?" ”
Liu Niang shuddered when she remembered the mother-in-law's words. She was a little scared, but she was afraid that Wu Niang wouldn't believe her, so she still stubbornly said: "She said that she got up at dawn and got up at night, and suddenly heard a woman's cry on the side of the Bailing Rest behind the West Garden. The rain is coming'. She listened with horror......"
"Bang-" With a bang, Sun pushed his hand to wave the tea tray on the small table to the ground, and scolded sharply: "Shut up!" Shut up! You shut up! ”
Liu Niang was so frightened that her face turned white with a smile, and she looked at Sun in a daze. Then he cried out loud with a "wow-" cry. Seeing this, Siniang on the side hurriedly squeezed her hand quietly and glanced at her, Liuniang followed Siniang's gaze to see Sun's face, and desperately swallowed the cry into her stomach, but she kept burping uncontrollably.
Everyone else in the room had different faces.
Gan Song quietly went down and squatted silently to clean up the mess on the ground, Chang Mama and Licorice glanced at each other quickly, and both of them saw horror in each other's eyes.
Bai Shi was also very surprised, quietly glanced at Sun, and then lowered his head and looked at his nose and nose as if he was settled.
Sanniang's grandchildren, whether they are favored on weekdays or not, although you look at me, I look at you A little bit of a monk is confused, but no one dares to speak.
Sanniang took in everyone's expressions and groaned secretly.
Bailing Pavilion is a ruined courtyard in the West Courtyard, and it is said that no one has lived in it for more than ten years. When Sanniang first came here, she once took a shortcut to the courtyard when she went to the west courtyard to find Yuan Niang, and took a second look because she was curious. I saw that the iron locks on the two red lacquered wooden doors had a thick layer of rust, and there were some dark brown stains on the doors, and in some places you could still see a few faded yellow rune papers. Although I couldn't see the scene in the courtyard, I could see the clusters of lush grass coming out of the crack in the door, and the barrenness inside could be seen.
Sanniang once asked Bai Ying about the yard at that time, and Bai Ying only said that the yard used to be where an old lady's aunt surnamed Dong lived, but she refused to say anything else, so Sanniang didn't ask again.
It's just that everyone said that Aunt Dong was sold by the Sun family? Where does this haunting come from today? Could it be that there is something else hidden?
"You all go back to your own yard, buddies should go to the academy too." Sun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly waved his hand to drive people away.
When everyone in the house heard this, they hurriedly got up and left.
Sun suddenly looked at Bai with fierce eyes, but Bai kept his head down and never raised it, and Sun's eyes seemed to be as if she hadn't seen them.
Several people came out of Sun's main room, and they all breathed a sigh of relief. Liu Niang finally sobbed quietly, but she had just held it for so long.
"Third sister, is there really a ghost?" Wu Niang came to San Niang's side, looked around, and asked in a low voice.
Sanniang didn't answer, but Wang Ji, who was sharp-eared on the side, heard Wuniang's question, and hurriedly leaned over and whispered: "It's not certain, isn't it the heaviest July of the year?" I heard that the Jizo King Bodhisattva, who has been in charge of hell since the beginning of the month, will open the door of ghosts and release ghosts. If there is a terrible ghost who died unjustly, he will take this opportunity to return to seek revenge on the enemy who killed him. Fifth sister, have you done anything bad on weekdays? It's best to stay in the yard for a month and don't walk around, or if you accidentally run into the starving ghost who likes to eat human flesh and blood—ahhhhh
"Wow-" Wu Niang screamed in fright and hid behind San Niang, refusing to come out again.
"Zi Bu is silent, strange and confused, big brother, don't scare your sisters." Wang Zhang looked at Wang Ji and smiled helplessly.
Wang Ji saw that several young people were frightened by him, and Liuniang even forgot to cry, so she couldn't help scratching her head, and said with a smile: "Big brother, this is all a lie, don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world." ”
The brothers went out of the second gate and went to get into the carriage, and Sanniang and the others also said goodbye and went back to their yard.
Sun and the others all came out of the house, closed their eyes and instructed Mama Chang: "You go to Qiuheng Courtyard and bring me the mother-in-law who pretends to be a ghost." ”
Mama Chang answered, but glanced at Sun with some concern.
Seeing Mama Chang like this, Sun sneered and said, "In the days when she died, the house was not at peace, and I have asked someone to seal her seven orifices with dog blood and nail her soul to death." I don't believe it, after all these years, the bones have turned into mud, and she can still run out and make trouble! Someone must be playing tricks on me behind my back! If I find out who is behind this, if I find out......"
Sun didn't say anything, but her grim eyes and tone made the hearts of those present chill.
Sun said that he wanted to be quiet and let everyone retreat, and Mama Chang took people to Qiuheng Courtyard, and licorice and jatamansong came out of the main room lightly.
"Sister Licorice, what happened to Bailing Temple?" Gansong waited until there was no one around, and hurriedly lowered his voice and asked the licorice on the side. She hadn't entered the mansion more than ten years ago, and although she had heard some things about Aunt Dong over the years, she had only heard vaguely that she had been sold out by the old lady, but she had never heard of anything else.
Licorice hesitated for a moment and sighed: "I just heard my godmother mention a few words to me when I first entered the old lady's room. I heard that Bailing Pavilion was a little unclean after that aunt left. ”
"Not clean? Is it what the old lady said just now that made the house uneasy? A gust of wind blew, and Gansong subconsciously hugged his arms.
"I don't know, it's not a good thing. The people who knew about this back then were either sold or given a gag order by the old lady, and no one dared to say anything more. Even if someone was curious about the courtyard, there was no place to inquire, and over time, everyone thought that the courtyard was sealed because of bad feng shui and remote and uninhabited. In the future, you don't want to inquire about this, you will always know when you should know, and you would rather not know if you shouldn't know. In the end, Licorice earnestly told Gan Songdao.
Gansong nodded, and didn't ask any more.
After Sanniang returned to the courtyard, she also asked Bai Ying about the Bailing Pavilion when there was no one around.
"Miss, the slave and maid are not very clear about this matter. My mother only said that there had been a death in the house, and she was very angry, and asked me to stay away from there, and not to ask people about the things in the courtyard, so as not to violate the taboo in the house. Bai Ying shook her head and said. ()
