Chapter 131: A game within a game
"What's the matter with me?"
Mu Junwu came out of the courtyard of the organ room, and as soon as he came to Hua Rou's side, he was mysteriously pulled aside by Hua Rou.
"Don't eat the chicken soup and rice tonight!"
"Why?"
Hua Rou's eyes flashed with cunning: "You'll know when the time comes, remember, keep an eye on who will faint tonight!" ”
After Hua Rou finished speaking, she turned around and ran briskly.
Mu Junwu looked at her back, his eyes rolling slightly.
……
In the main mother's courtyard of the Peng family in Changsha Prefecture, Mrs. Xu was offering incense in front of the Buddhist shrine and praying for her daughter to find His Royal Highness King Qi earlier.
"Madame, Mademoiselle has a letter." The maid Qiu'er lifted the door curtain, pinched the letter in her hand and rushed to Xu's side.
Xu was originally displeased with Qiu'er's reckless and rude behavior, but when he heard the words, he didn't care about blaming him, and quickly took it apart and took a closer look.
"Found it! That's great......" Xu Shi looked at the beginning, and immediately smiled, but after two more lines, her smile disappeared.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" Seeing this, Qiu'er said with concern: "Is something wrong?" ”
Xu closed the letter, was stunned for a moment, and immediately lit the candle flame.
"Ma'am?"
"Go down, I'm going to be alone."
After Xu sent the stunned Qiu'er down, he stared at the burning letterhead on the ground.
Her brow furrowed, and her clasped hands trembled uncontrollably.
My son, you are too bold, even if you want to force him, you want your mother to do it for you...... How can this be!
Xu's lips pursed tightly, she felt that her daughter's idea was too crazy, but at this time, there was a voice outside the house that disgusted her.
"Get out of the way, I'll discuss something important with my eldest sister."
"Aunt Ye, madam, she is worshipping the Buddha, you still have to wait ......"
"Wait? There are priorities, and we can't wait! ”
When Xu heard this, he clenched his fists and walked out with a gloomy face.
"What's the noise? Not a spark of decency! ”
Qiu'er bowed her head when she heard this, and the concubine Ye took the girl Xiaohong to take a step forward and squeezed Qiu'er away, and said with an arrogant expression: "Yo, what kind of temper is the eldest sister, my sister is also helpless, so she came to you in a hurry!" ”
Xu Shi looked away with a cold face: "Say!" ”
"Eldest sister, you know, the day before yesterday, the master had handed our Rong'er's birthday to the sixth son, and it won't be long before the engagement ceremony will have to go, so today I came to ...... with you, eldest sister. Take the key to the embroidery building. ”
Hearing this, the Xu clan glared at the Ye clan angrily: "Presumptuous! Rong'er is not a concubine, and she is also engaged to embroidery building? ”
"Eldest sister's words are not right, although Rong'er is not a concubine, but the sixth son is unspeakably expensive, is it possible, you dare to wronged the sixth son in this engagement ceremony?"
"You don't talk to dig holes! In my Peng family, rules are rules, and they can't be exceeded. ”
At this time, the Ye family smiled and said: "Eldest sister, King Qi is missing now, life and death are uncertain, whether your concubine can marry or not!" My Rong'er is now the only reliance of our Peng family, I advise you! It's better to be aware of the times, but don't be punished by the master for small mistakes......"
"Smack!" A loud slap slapped Ye in the face, interrupting Ye's arrogance.
"/person, you heard me clearly! If you want to get the key, then you have to open your mouth, and it's not your turn to show off your power in front of me! Get lost! ”
Ye covered his face in shame and glared at Xu: "You...... You wait! ”
Xu took Xiaohong away, and Qiu'er came to Xu's side worriedly: "Madam, ...... you are"
"My Lan'er will definitely marry King Qi!" Xu clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and said, "Definitely." ”
"That's natural, our young lady is the pride of the Peng family."
"That's right, she is the pride of the Peng family." Xu suddenly crossed the hurdle in her heart, she pulled Qiu'er's arm, and explained a few words in her ear, Qiu'er's face was solemn and nodded frequently.
"I must do this before I enter the palace next time to serve."
"Yes, ma'am."
Xu raised his head and said angrily: "I will never let Ye's ride on my head!" ”
……
There are two bowls of chicken soup and rice on the dining table in the east wing.
Ziqi and Zihua sat at opposite ends of the table, staring at the meal.
"Done?"
"Don't worry, sister, this time it's the hands of the people in the family business, it's foolproof!"
Ziqi scooped up the chicken soup rice: "This? ”
"Well, everyone has it except theirs."
Ziqi smiled and scooped the rice into her mouth, but Zihua was surprised and stopped: "Sister, what are you doing?" Why are you still eating? ”
"Silly girl, you can't go to the drug room without any of you, right? If it weren't for Linlin's retreat and enlightenment, I wouldn't have had to be a victim myself. ”
Zihua nodded in a trance: "Oh, I understand, then I ...... too"
"No, I'll have enough, you, but you can testify to her eyes." After Ziqi finished speaking, he put the chicken soup rice in his mouth, and looked at the west wing room while eating, revealing a gloomy smile.
Just as Ziqi was planning to eat, in the lobby of the organ room, a group of disciples sat around and had a lively and cheerful meal, but Mu Junwu looked at the chicken soup in front of him and sat still.
"Hey, why don't you eat it?" Changsheng urged Mu Junwu: "Don't tell me you're not hungry. ”
Mu Junwu showed a look of boredom: "I don't like chicken." ”
"Huh? Then you're too unlucky! That one...... If you don't eat it, I'll eat it, don't waste such a delicious chicken soup rice. Changsheng said and moved the chicken soup and rice in front of Mu Junwu in front of him.
"You eat slowly." Mu Junwu got up to leave, but as soon as he reached the door of the lobby, he heard the sound of the bowl breaking, and immediately turned around and saw a disciple falling!
Faint!
Mu Junwu's heart was hot, and he wanted to see the person's face clearly when he took a step sideways, but who knew that at this time, two more people fell one after another!
What's the situation?
Mu Junwu looked surprised.
"Smack!" The chopsticks in Changsheng's hand fell to the ground, and he covered his head: "Dizzy, my head is so dizzy......"
Before he finished speaking, Changsheng poured the chicken soup and rice to the ground, and at this time, more disciples began to feel unwell.
Most of them passed out on the ground, and only a few covered their heads, screaming dizzy.
Mu Junwu's eyes were doubtful, but more uneasy.
Hua Rou said that he should pay attention to the people who fainted, but at this moment, he actually fainted so much, and almost all of them were in trouble, which he vaguely felt that this was a game, a game that others were controlling.
……
In the main hall of the soul snatching room, grandma was explaining things to Tang Hezhi and Tang Lei.
Honggu stood beside her grandmother, holding an unopened scroll in her hand with a cautious expression.
"The celebration will start next month, and the family business will start preparing and arranging."
"Yes, I wonder if the rules are the same as last time?"
Grandma glanced at Tang Lei: "This year coincides with the trial, you might as well be more grand, let those children who have never seen it open their eyes!" ”
"Yes."
Grandma turned her head to look at Tang Hezhi: "The trial is up to you!" ”
Tang Hezhi glanced at Tang Lei in surprise, although Tang Lei was deeply surprised, he controlled his emotions and tried to behave calmly.
"Door master, the matter of trials, isn't it always the ...... of the phoenix pheasant's room"
Grandma interrupted Tang Hezhi's words without thinking: "I have other arrangements for the phoenix pheasant room this year, and this time it will be up to you to ......."
Outside the hall, the disciple's anxious voice floated in: "Aunt Hong! Oh no! ”
