Xia Xishi's revenge plan is in full swing. Compared with her scheming, Jingshanfang Xie Mansion is a group of swallow dancers and warblers.

Zhang's marriage is imminent, and everyone in the Xie Mansion has a smile on their faces. Even Ah Leopard is well-behaved.

As the drought and the epidemic gradually faded, the business of Hee Hee Lou also improved. Although it is a little worse than when I was in Yongnian County, it is still not bad. Tao Ji, who has just recovered from a serious illness, is more diligent than before, and follows the fish six catties to learn the art with heart.

Feng Pomegranate saw Tian'er running to Jingshanfang, either to send hairpins to Zhang's or to take two jars of good wine, and Zhang Luo was busy.

Zhang and Lu Feng were about to get married, but they began to suffer from gains and losses, and they were worried all day long. But as soon as she saw Yushu, she beat her spirits and pretended to be fine. Yushu had the heart to explain two sentences, and felt that some words were more appropriate to say that it was more appropriate.

So, as soon as Feng Shimei came to find Zhang's, Yushu accompanied her to gossip a few words, so she hid out under the pretext of letting them talk more.

Today, Yushu is half evasive, half has serious things to do.

Gao Kuo's body gradually recovered, and he and the kitten A Leopard became a pair of New Year's friends again. However, he no longer plays hide and seek with a leopard, but shows it its claws, and it can be counted that a few small fish can fall into their stomachs every day. Ah Leopard didn't pick it, and he had a lot of fun playing with Gao Kuo. I didn't like to go to Tongqu, so I raised my little paws at home and fed it small dried fish.

Lou Bi, who was snubbed by Ah Bao, was a little stunned. Deng Xuan felt that he was pitiful, and he would be appeased by good words when they met. Lou Bi went from being really pitiful at the beginning to pretending to be pitiful later, and his relationship with Deng Xuan improved by leaps and bounds. Yushu only waited for Lou Bi and Deng Xuan to get married, and asked for a piece of iceman for Ah Bao.

Yushu and Man Li arrived in Gao Kuo's room, and Gao Kuo was playing with Ah Leopard. That is, there is a small dried fish under the teacup, so that Ah Bao can guess how many.

Ah Leopard didn't know how to count, he couldn't eat it when he smelled the fishy smell, and he meowed anxiously. Gao Kuole laughed and said, "Can I still deduct the kitten's snacks?" It's all for you! As he spoke, he raised the teacup and revealed three small dried fish, and Ah Leopard quickly picked up one with a whining and ate it with relish.

Gao Kuo ran his hand along Ah Leopard's little tail and asked it softly: "Ci Ye said that we were both good people before, yes or no?" ”

"It's true." Yushu stepped into the room and answered for Ah Bao with a smile.

"Lady, are you here to pick up Ah Leopard back?" Gao Kuo stood up, his eyes reluctant.

Yushu shook her head with a smile, "I have something I want to ask my husband for." ”

Yushu rarely used the word "ask", Gao Kuo's expression was solemn, and said: "Don't say that, lady, as long as I know, I must know everything." ”

Yushu sat down on the top and took out a peach wood box, "This is what I got by accident in the Jingting Courtyard." At that time, I just thought it was a little unusual and wanted to ask my husband for advice. But then the gentleman disappeared, and it was gone. ”

As she spoke, she opened the wooden box, revealing a mass of red silk cloth.

It's peach wood and red silk, and it's obvious that something inside is ominous! Gao Kuo's heart jumped, and he was even more curious about what could make Yushu treat him like this.

Yushu lifted the red silk layer by layer, revealing the jade pendant of the Rui Bird Flower Embroidered by Hetian white jade inside.

The birds are expressive, and the flowers are smart. It's a pity that a corner of the wing is broken.

As soon as he saw this jade pendant, Gao Kuo's eyes immediately widened, and he stammered: "Isn't this the long-lost Qingyunpei?" ”

Gao Kuo said the name of this jade pendant, which made Yushu's spirit lifted. Xindao really asked the right person.

"Why did Mr. say that this jade pendant has been lost for a long time?" Counting the years, this jade pendant was already in the palace of the Southern Qi Dynasty at least twenty years ago.

Gao Kuo cherished and picked up the Qingyun pendant from the red silk, and said with wistfulness: "This jade pendant was carved by a craftsman named Ji Nanzhong more than a hundred years ago. It was originally a dowry for his young lady Ji. Poor little lady didn't wait for marriage to get married before she got sick and died. Ji Nan was grief-stricken and buried all the dowry with him.

Which Cheng thought that these companions had fallen into the eyes of the gravediggers. That season, the little lady's bones were not cold, and the grave was dug up. It's just a matter of digging graves and stealing treasures, but the hateful person also faded Ji Xiaoniang's shroud and left her corpse in the wilderness. The local magistrate knew about this and tried his best to arrest the suspect, but the gravedigger had already fled and disappeared. The beloved daughter suffered this humiliation, and Ji Nan finally ended up depressed. Less than half a year after his death, the gravedigger carried all the dirt to the government office to turn himself in. The crimes they have committed and the confession of them. When the messenger asked him why his conscience had found it, the gravedigger said that if he did not come, he would be tortured to death by the spirit of the little lady Ji attached to the jade pendant. Only when he did something bad would the officer be suspicious and laugh at it.

Later, the matter spread to the people, and everyone said that the soul of the little lady was still alive, not only seeking justice for herself, but also avenging her father. Because of the name of the little lady in Ji Qingyun, she called this jade pendant Qingyun pendant. ”

Listening to the story told by Mr. Gao, Yushu looked relieved and said: "In this way, this Qingyunpei is not an osodious thing. ”

Gao Kuo shook his head and said, "Lady, don't make a judgment early. Legend has it that on the day the gravedigger was beheaded, flying sand covered the clouds. The gravedigger shouted three times to the heavens, 'I am guilty,' and was willing to die. Since then, Qingyunpei's story has become a good story. Everyone flocks to it. Later, a thief stole it from the treasury. As a result, Qingyunpei was transferred to different people. But those people, without exception, either died suddenly or violently, and none of them could get a good death. As a result, people said that Qingyun Pei had evil spirits attached to it, and it was a bad thing. Over time, no one cares. ”

The sun was blazing outside the window, and she shivered with a shiver, and she asked worriedly: "Mr. Gao, will this jade pendant be any harm to the lady?" ”

Gao Kuo pondered for a moment and said, "Whether it is a nuisance or not, it doesn't matter if Qingyunpei says it, but the person himself has the final say." If you hadn't done anything wrong, you wouldn't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door in the middle of the night. I'm not polite to say that those who hope for Qingyunpei's blessing have all done things that hurt nature and reason, and died from being cocooned and self-bound, not from the soul or evil spirit on Qingyunpei. ”

Yushu nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Why does Mr. know so much about the origin of this jade pendant?" ”

Gao Kuo smiled, "People like me can always hear some incredible anecdotes when they walk the rivers and lakes. Most of the things that can be remembered are left a deep impression in my mind. Just like this Qingyunpei, after more than 20 years, I have never forgotten it. ”

"The reason why Mr. remembers it clearly is because he realized that it is the demonic obstacle in people's hearts that takes people's lives?"

raised his head and praised: "The lady Bingxue is smart." Qing Yunpei rubbed his palm, becoming oily and shiny.

Jade is good jade, but it's a pity that the corner that collapsed. Yushu thought to herself.

Man Li's brows were deeply locked, her eyes stared at the jade pendant in Gao Kuo's hand, and she said worriedly: "Lady, the maid always feels that this thing is ominous, so it is better to seal it up and touch it less." Or send it to Xiangyun Temple for the souls attached to it. ”
