"Sir!"

"Madame is inside?"

"If you go back to the master, Madame is waiting for you inside, please!"

Hearing the sound of talking outside, Yao immediately glanced at Lingyu, motioned her to stop talking, got up and went to the door to greet Qiu Shenglin, "The master is here, the concubine has prepared the wine and food, all of which the master likes." Qiu Shenglin nodded and glanced at the table, golden soup sea bass, steamed pearl balls, steamed white fungus with ham, and chicken skin soup with sour bamboo shoots are all his favorite foods. On the other side, there is two-color tofu, vinegar mixed with vegetarian three shreds, and stewed yuba with mushrooms.

"Madame is a vegetarian today?" Qiu Shenglin didn't know that Yao had a vegetarian habit, "You never ate these vegetarian dishes before!" Yao lowered his eyes, "Today, it is my poor child's first seventh, I can't give him a ride, and I can only use this to talk about my heart as a mother." Qiu Shenglin's face was red and white for a while when she said it, "That's the case, then take down all these meats, I'll accompany my wife to eat vegetarian!" ”

Chaoyu and Lingyu took the dishes away, and Qiu Shenglin Zhengse said, "Zhilan, I came here today on purpose because I have something to discuss with you. Yao set up the dishes and chopsticks and said, "The concubine is listening to her." Qiu Shenglin was embarrassed and said, "Although I am sad that the child died early, according to the rules, the seven-day suspension of the spirit is already eye-catching, and the matter of entering the ancestral grave is absolutely unacceptable!" ”

"What should I do?" Yao's face was as usual, Qiu Shenglin thought that she had figured it out, she was overjoyed, and let go of her courage and said, "I think, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let the child be buried today!" He is your blood and blood, and he is my dearest, so I have bought a piece of feng shui treasure land in the east of the city, and it is not a grievance to bury the child there! ”

Yao stood up slowly, seemingly expressionless, but his hand was already shrunk into the cuffs, and the joints he was holding turned white. She sneered, "The master is really thoughtful, and the arrangements are proper." Qiu Shenglin went to take her hand, "You are my wife, and it is my child who goes, how can I not feel distressed?" Yao shook off his hand and wept, "I heard my poor child crying every night, and he must have felt that he had not been able to grow up safely, so he cried every night. ”

"Madam, you're an auditory hallucination, an auditory hallucination, and no child is crying at all!" Qiu Shenglin comforted, "If we keep this child, he will not be able to live in peace in that world." It's better to let him be buried in the earth, and go to reincarnation earlier, and you can live in peace! ”

"No, sir, I heard it too!" Chao Yu lifted the curtain and walked in, "Not only last night, but also the night before, and the night before the big one, I heard it all, and I heard it clearly!" ”

Qiu Shenglin knew that Chaoyu had never said anything about ghosts and gods, and he had never told half a lie, so he frowned and asked, "Where did you hear it, and when did you hear it?" Chaoyu said, "In the middle of the night, the sound seems to come from the side of the lower room, but the coffin of the little boy is placed in the back hall. ”

"Downside?" Qiu Shenglin shouted, "Yuanbao! Yuan Bao ran in, "Master, what do you command?" Qiu Shenglin said, "Take a few reliable people, quietly, to the next room to inquire, who has heard the cry of a child in the middle of the night, quickly back and forth to me!" ”

"Yes!" Yuan Bao wondered in his heart, there were fifty or sixty people living in the next room, and the youngest was eleven or twelve years old, where did the hungry children cry? He didn't dare to ask more, so he immediately called Sanyang and Kaitai and others to ask one by one. I don't know if I don't know this, but I'm shocked when I ask!

There are several theories about this cry. Some people say that it was a woman's cry, crying very miserably, as if she wanted to ask for her enemy's life. Some people also said that it was a baby's cry, which was exactly the same as what Mrs. and Chaoyu said. Some people even said that it was not a person crying at all, but a ghost crying. The little young master and the new aunt's wife died tragically one after another, and the yin qi in the house was too heavy, maybe they recruited the unjust ghosts outside.

Of these statements, Yuan Bao only picked what he could say and said it to Qiu Shenglin. Qiu Sheng Lin slapped the table and said, "What nonsense! I see that they usually love people and clouds, you go and send me a mess, what kind of rumor came from someone's mouth, once you find this person, you don't have to reply to me, first in front of everyone, beat him with fifty sticks! ”

Yao Shi was dissatisfied, "Master, do you want to seal everyone's mouths? There is no impermeable wall in the world, but I am afraid that the trees want to be quiet and the wind will not stop! Qiu Shenglin was irritable for a while, and said without hesitation, "It's not your fault?" If I had listened to me and buried that child earlier, I wouldn't have caused so much trouble! ”

"Master, are you blaming me?" Yao couldn't believe his ears, the husband and wife who had been together for many years would say such a thing. At this moment, the door curtain was lifted, and Sanyang walked in, trembling and said, "Old, master, someone has turned himself in!" Qiu Shenglin was angry in his heart, and scolded loudly, "What surrendered, what surrendered?" Sanyang said, "Master, the little mouth is stupid, let her tell you herself." Cuiliu, come in and say it yourself! ”

Outside the door, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, dressed in green, with a haggard face, walked in with a small quilt, knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said, "Cuiliu, please be in peace with my lord and wife!" Yao Shi looked carefully at the thing she was holding in her arms, and walked over, and opened the small quilt on the red flower quilt, revealing a sleeping wrinkled little face, it turned out to be a baby who was born not long ago!

"Cuiliu, what's going on?" Yao's is not unaware that some of the girls in the house who are not self-respecting and those little guys are not clear, but as long as she doesn't make trouble and lose her dignity, she is willing to turn a blind eye, lest things break down and everyone's faces are not good-looking. But now, the child is gone, and she has to take out the money of the housemother to restrain her!

"Madam, I, I'm sorry for you!" Cuiliu kowtowed vigorously, so frightened that the child in her arms woke up and cried lowly. Yao's family has given birth and raised, and knows that the child's low cry is either sick or congenitally deficient. The kindness of being a mother made her have to take care of the child first, so Yao said to Chaoyu, "Go and invite a Lang Zhong who is good at the way of women and infants, and give this child quietly!" ”

Cuiliu was both grateful and ashamed, "Madam, don't worry, this child, this child is hungry and can't cry!" Yao took the child from her arms, and said distressedly, "Poor Jian'er, the nurse I prepared for my child is still in the house, if you can rest assured, give the child to her!" Cuiliu kowtowed a few times on the ground to express her gratitude, and Qiu Shenglin pulled down her face and said, "Madame pity you, but I feel hateful, and say, what kind of bastard is this kid!" ”
