Chapter 34: The Evil Spirit
Xia Fei nodded again and again, thinking that he had just asked Xia Ye to go to a brothel tomorrow, and this girl was just saved trouble by being locked at home.
In that said, "Okay! Grandmother, you can find someone to show her at home, I think this girl is also a little convulsive these days."
Mrs. Xia said there: "If she really falls for the evil, it's better to say it to the outside world, so that she can cover up the quarrel on the street.
Otherwise, this neighbor will definitely spread rumors, and then our prime minister will be embarrassed."
Xia Fei didn't care about this, he was already tired after a day of playing outside, and nodded perfunctorily, "Well, what grandmother said is, it's time to take a good look at this girl."
Mrs. Xia was happy when she heard that her grandson agreed with her opinion, she wanted to talk about it, but she really didn't dare to say it in front of her son's daughter-in-law.
As the prime minister of a country, how can the mansion believe in ghosts, but now that there is a grandson to help, you can find another reason to invite the Taoist chief, and then just go back to the girl to have a look.
I was so happy in my heart that I didn't see that my grandson was tired, and then said: "Fei'er, tomorrow, you send someone to pick up the Taoist chief for me, and say that I will invite her to come over to talk."
Xia Fei couldn't listen to anything now, and nodded again and again: "Yes"
"Also, don't forget to secretly tell the Taoist chief to let her bring her peachwood sword when you go, as soon as she says this, she will understand what to do.
"Yes, grandmother, everything is up to you, I will do whatever you say"
"This girl has been evil for some days, I don't know if the Taoist can catch her, if not...... By the way, you tell the Taoist to take the cinnabar again, and if you can't catch it, you can stop her first."
"Yes, grandmother, grandchildren listen to grandmother!" Xia Fei was really tired, and his eyes narrowed unconsciously.
Mother-in-law Afan couldn't see it there, walked to the old lady's side and leaned on Mrs. Xia's ear and said: "Old ancestor, you see that the eldest young master is sleepy, why don't you call the eldest young master back first, it's good to talk about it tomorrow."
Mrs. Xia only noticed her grandson's expression at this time, patted her thigh and said: "Look at my head, I didn't even see that Fei'er was tired, Fei'er don't fall asleep, I'll let someone send you back, and I'll talk about it tomorrow morning."
Xia Fei got up and left when he heard this, and only when he got to the door did he turn his head and say, "Grandmother, I'm leaving."
Mrs. Xia didn't care, and waved her hand, "Let's go, go back and rest"
When Xia Fei walked away, the old lady sighed: "Afan, do you say that the more you look at the girl, the more you look like an evil spirit?"
Ah Fan didn't like the old lady at all, and replied with a smile: "The old lady said that it must be, and I guess eight or nine is not far from ten."
"I'm relieved to hear you say this, in case Zhiyuan knows, you can't talk about me."
"Don't worry, ancestor, Xiangye never said about you, of course not this time"
"I hope so! Tell everyone to give me a little tight, whoever wants to tell me to leave, I will be the first to spare her"
"Yes, the slave will tell me in a while, so as not to tell me again tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'll rest assured that you're doing things, I'm tired, I'm going to sleep"
"Good"
Mrs. Fan and Mrs. Xia are about the same age, and it was not until she personally waited for the old lady to sleep that she went to finish what she had just said before she went back to the room to sleep.
……
Early the next morning, everyone in Xia Mansion left after breakfast.
Xia Fei and Xiao Wanyu went out early, forgetting what they promised Mrs. Xia yesterday.
The two of them are going to decorate it, and finally invite Xia Ye to go to the Qinglou once, so they have to make this person dizzy.
Xia Ye is different from them, he has never touched such a woman since he was a child, let alone the Qinglou, if Xia Fei didn't provoke him with words yesterday, he wouldn't go.
The two of them left early, and they didn't tell anyone in Xia Fu, so they went out directly, and only the little guy who guarded the door saw the two of them going out.
Mrs. Xia was waiting for her grandson to pick up someone early in the morning, and after breakfast and changing clothes, she sat in the hall and waited, but she didn't see the shadow of Minghui Daogu until the time was almost noon.
I muttered to myself in my heart, whether Minghui Daogu had something to do or the evil spirits at home were too vicious and didn't come, and my heart was full of emotions.
It wasn't until Mrs. Afan came back from outside and said that her grandson and grandson went out early in the morning, and they didn't even sit in the carriage, and they didn't hear who was sent to pick them up, that Mrs. Xia knew what was going on, and it must have been this stinky boy who forgot what he said as a deaf ear.
Mrs. Xia was depressed for a while, thinking that she would satisfy this stinky boy no matter what he asked, and now she had something to ask him to let go of the pigeon for herself.
However, Mrs. Xia only muttered to herself in her heart, and did not show it in front of her subordinates, after all, this family business will belong to the eldest grandson in the future, and she can't ruin his image in front of everyone.
This side hurriedly sent someone to pick up Minghui, until this Dao aunt came to Xia Mansion to catch up with lunch.
In addition to secretly complaining about her grandson's disobedience, Mrs. Xia served Aunt Dao with delicious food and drink, and it was not until after the meal that she said gently:
"Immortal Gu, do you think our Xia family's aura is good now?"
Minghui was a monk since childhood, grew up in the Taoist temple since he was a child, and was later received by his master as a personal disciple and inherited the mantle.
Over the years, I often come into contact with the family members of some wealthy families, on the surface, I am showing people the house to ward off evil spirits, but behind the scenes it is to catch ghosts, such things are not less, and I don't know if she really has magical powers or fake, anyway, the people who have seen it say that it is good, and its reputation is very famous in the family of the eunuchs in Beijing.
After seeing and listening a lot, she understood the meaning of these people as long as they said a few words, and said with a smile:
"Back to the old lady, has the house been unpeaceful lately? As soon as I entered the Prime Minister's Mansion, I felt that there was a bad breath from the north of your house, and the clouds were very ominous, your old man had already guessed it! Actually, if you don't ask me about this, I'm really hard to say."
Old Lady Xia was excited when she heard this, so she moved her body to Minghui and said, "Then Fairy Aunt, tell me what to do about this?" It's not a secret, the Prime Minister's Mansion has really not been very peaceful recently, and there are always some small words mixed in it, so I don't bother much, I'm very worried, I hope that the fairy Gu will appear, and quickly help me get rid of this evil spirit."
Minghui said with a smile: "Ancestor don't worry, wait for me to look around and help the house get rid of the spirit, but there is one thing I want to explain, you know that my price is not an ordinary small favor, because Minghui has lost the Mandate of Heaven since he was a child, and he must ask the world for the same remuneration, so as not to cause trouble."
Old Mrs. Xia hurriedly said there: "Immortal Gu rest assured, silver money is not a problem, as long as you can help me eradicate this heart disease in the house, I will not only give 5,000 taels of silver as a reward, but also donate 200 taels to the temple every month." ”
Minghui heard that her face looked calm and waveless, and she was overjoyed, and she hurriedly got up and said to Mrs. Xia:
"Thank you, Ancestor, for sending someone to lead the way to take a look."
"Afan, you go and take a good look at the fairy girl, no matter what the fairy tube wants, take it from the management"
"Yes"
……
Minghui followed Ah Fan directly to the backyard of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
At this time, Xia Li asked Chu Han to go to her brother to see when her brother would leave, so she changed into men's clothes and followed.
She knew that if she wanted to go to Osmanthus Tower with her brother in a bright light, her brother would definitely not agree, so she planned to follow secretly.
The clothes are still the clothes of the little guy she wore last time, and when she has time, she must buy a few more sets of men's clothes, she is thinking about changing her clothes when she goes out in the early cold, and she listens to the little maid Chun'er who is sweeping outside:
"Miss, the old lady's mother-in-law Afan is leading the fairy girl in the south temple of the capital to come, and now she is walking from the eldest young master's side! It was Sister Chu Han who told the slave maid to tell the young lady quickly."
When Xia Li heard this, he hurriedly hid his clothes and said, "I know, you go and tell Chu Han to come back soon."
"Yes, Chu Han said that she would run back when Mrs. Fan couldn't see her."
"Okay, let's go!"
Chun'er ran away and told Chu Han what Xia Li meant, this girl wanted to come back, but the Ah Fan Po and Minghui Dao Chang had been walking around the courtyard of the second room, and they didn't know what it meant.
In the end, it wasn't until Mrs. Afan asked the girl to go to the old lady's room to get something that Chu Han ran back while the two were unprepared.
"Miss, Miss......"
"You're back, my brother is still here! Did you ask what time it was? ”
Chu Han saw that the young lady in front of him was not at all anxious about the matter of Mrs. Fan and Minghui Dao, and she was so anxious that she still replied: "I secretly asked Qing Shui, it seems that I will go after noon." ”
"It's past noon, which means it's evening."
"Yes Miss"
"It's better at night, I can make it easier"
Chu Han was so frightened by Miss's words that he covered his mouth and said, "Miss, you ...... You're going to follow? ”
"What's the matter, yes! I have to protect my brother, I don't go who goes."
"Yes...... But you're a woman, how can you go to that kind of place? ”
"Don't worry, girl, your young lady and I have my own measure, and who did you say you saw outside?"
Before Xia Li's words were finished, he heard the footsteps of someone coming outside the door, "Shh...... Here it is".
She motioned for Chu Han to stop talking.
Chu Han didn't hear any sound at all, she thought that the young lady had heard it wrong, and just as she wanted to say something more, she heard a voice outside the hospital.
Mrs. Ah Fan and Minghui did not let anyone inform them when they entered the house, but directly broke into Xia Li's boudoir.
Xia Li watched the two of them come in as if no one was there, and the leader was a female sister-in-law wearing a gray cloth robe, holding a half-length floating dust, black and thick hair, a long and thin face, and white and red eyes, looking at her face was in her twenties.
She had never seen such a person before, and she had never been in contact with her, and in the past, the senior brothers and disciples of the Dark Moon Palace wanted to ask her to go with her whenever they went to the temple to offer incense or something, but she had never been there without that interest.
Mrs. Xia asked this person to do something, and she also entered her house.
Xia Li was full of doubts, and looked at Mrs. Afan, leading this person around her room and said:
"Afanpo, you didn't even know me when you told me like this, so you brought people in to me, what do you want to do, in other words, what does your grandmother want you to do? Are you here to bully me? ”
Mrs. Xia had already quarreled with Xia Fei in public because she said that the big house bullied her on the street, so she wondered why Xia Li was so sharp, so she thought of the idea of the invasion of evil spirits, and then found Minghui.
Afanpo also knew about it.
Dafang was now very afraid that the second room would say this, so he hurriedly said there: "Miss Li misunderstood, I led the fairy aunt to take a look around, and I wanted to pray for our Xia family's blessing and longevity." ”
"Oh, is it? Then why did you enter my room and not even report it, no matter what, Afanpo, you are just a subordinate, is this attitude when you enter the master's room? And this fairy girl prayed for blessings, what did she do in my boudoir, and checked around, even the alleys in the room did not let go, is this how you pray for blessings in Taoist temples? ”
Mrs. Afan's face was red and white for a while when Xia Li said, the most taboo thing for her is that others say that she is a subordinate, because over the years, she has been doing things beside the old lady, and even the eldest man in the house respects her as an aunt, I can't imagine that this dead girl will say this about her, she was originally pitiful to the second lady, but now the only bit of pity is gone, and Afanpo put her face on that and said: "I came on the order of the old lady"
Xia Li was so angry that she really wanted to laugh, but she hadn't laughed for a long time, and she really couldn't laugh.
"I don't care whose order you received, I only know that you broke into my boudoir today, and you haven't shouted at me yet, I really look up to the rules of educating slaves in the big house, but it's not a day or two that your big house bullied our second room, I advise you not to go too far, otherwise the rabbit will bite if it's in a hurry!"
The two of them were talking about each other, and Xia Li saw that the fairy girl walked in front of her with a pair of eyes, and looked at her for a moment before saying:
"You're the second lady"
"Just ask the mother-in-law next to you," Xia Li didn't bother to reply.
Mrs. Ah Fan was already panting with anger, why didn't she find this Miss Li so difficult before, was it really possessed by something as the old lady said.
Thinking of this, he said: "Fairy Gu, take a good look here, this is the boudoir of this second lady, see if there is anything here?" ”
"What's there?" Xia Li didn't understand what the two of them meant.
Chu Han understood, the old lady used to invite this fairy girl to come over to see inside and outside the house, but at that time, she had never entered the lady's boudoir, and she didn't even enter the courtyard of the second room, what is the matter now, will she say that the lady has something wrong here?
The little girl kept staring at Minghui worriedly, afraid that this person would say something.
At this time, Minghui actually walked around Xia Li a few times, and her wide-eyed eyes didn't say anything.
Xia Li didn't say anything, and let this person look at it casually.
Mrs. Afan saw Huiming like this and knew that this second lady must not be very good, otherwise every time this Taoist chief came, he would never have looked at anyone in the mansion like this.
In that way: "Dao Chief, do you need something?"
"Not yet, let's go, I'll come back tomorrow at noon"
Xia Li saw that this person was about to turn around and leave after speaking, she saw that there were snacks made for her by Chu Han on the table, puff pastry peanuts, picked one up and threw it at the back knee of the left leg of the Taoist aunt, this time she used all her strength, and said secretly, I will let you come tomorrow.
