The old lady was worried about Li Xiangshi's words, raised her head listlessly, and asked, "What's wrong with Sister Yi?" Didn't you just live in the Pavilion yesterday? "Can't stand it after just one night?

Miss Ji hurriedly reported the hardships of having no bed, no quilt, no stove and a shortage of everything in the Jing Pavilion, and said that the third lady looked very weak and should be moved out of the Jing Pavilion immediately so that the doctor could take a good look.

The old lady didn't agree or refuse, but said: "Let's talk about this later, the old body didn't mean to punish her, but she was released after being locked up for a long time, so that the second daughter-in-law and her daughter-in-law knew about it, and they wanted to complain again, blaming me for being too partial." Now that there is such a bad omen, I am so troubled that I don't want to hear a large group of people shouting before me. ”

Seeing the old lady's attitude, Miss Ji didn't want to say anything more, so she stood aside and listened to the old lady and Li Xiangshi continue to talk about last night's natural disasters and ways to avoid evil.

Li Xiangshi talked to the old lady about several feng shui arrays to keep him safe, and of course, this is also the time when he makes the most money - the key items and peace charms in each feng shui array have to be purchased from him to be effective. A rich and noble family like the Luo family, which is paved with silver, is simply sorry for the conscience of heaven and earth if he doesn't kill a vote, so Li Xiangshi proposed that he can do a ritual for the Luo family every seven days to drive away evil spirits and keep peace.

The old lady firmly believes in feng shui, she is not afraid of spending silver, but she is afraid that she will not be able to spend it if she has silver, and she is afraid that she will not be able to buy peace with silver. So she not only didn't think that Li Xiangshi's asking price was high, but also adopted his opinion, ordered Qinghe sesame oil worth 1,000 taels of silver, and came to worship the emperor and the queen of heaven and ask for peace and blessings. Of course, thousands of catties of sesame oil can't be lit in one go, which will cause a fire, so in order to sacrifice those oils, the Luo family must first choose a piece of treasure land to build a Taoist temple, and Li Xiangshi will serve as the master of the temple and be responsible for worship.

Li Xiangshi didn't expect the old lady to be so easy to deceive, she was simply a fat sheep among fat sheep, but a strange star appeared in the sky, what does it have to do with the mortals below, this old lady Luo is willing to pay such a large amount of silver to eliminate the disaster, and the rich people's silver is easy to earn.

His joy fell in the eyes of Miss Ji, and he naturally saw that he was blatantly slaughtering fat sheep. Miss Ji was indignant in her heart, and couldn't help blurting out: "Old lady, I mentioned this matter to the third lady just now, what she said was the opposite of Li Xiangshi, she said, our Luo family is going to have a happy event, and this happy event will make the old lady so happy that you can't close your mouth." ”

"Huh?" The old lady looked up at Miss Ji in confusion, "Happy event? The whole of Yangzhou is in danger of being angered by the saints, what happy event can our Luo family have? ”

Miss Ji reminded her: "Our ancestral tomb and ancestral shrine are all right, isn't this a happy event?" As for other happy events, the slave maid was short-sighted, and she didn't understand the meaning of the third lady's words, anyway, listening to her tone, not only don't we have to worry, but we should also have a drink to celebrate. ”

Li Xiangshi had never heard of the Luo family's ancestral tomb and ancestral ancestral hall alone not being violated by the earth's movement, as soon as he saw that Miss Ji came to interfere with his business, he immediately became angry, and snorted coldly: "This eldest sister, you don't want a layman to pretend to be an insider, whether the astrological matter is evil or auspicious, but it is not for you and me to have the final say in one or two sentences." This can be found in various divination books. Later, the imperial court will come to a conclusion on this matter, and it will also be announced to the world through Qin Tianjian, so we can wait and see. ”

Li Xiangshi said in his heart, as the saying goes, disasters prosper Xiangshi, this "natural disaster and man-made fortune" is simply prepared for him, how can he allow others to cut off his financial route. So, he said in an alarmist tone: "It's not that I scare you, the gods of heaven are threatening to descend on the world, all because the sins of the world are full, and among all kinds of sins, disrespecting the heavens is the sin of the sins, eldest sister, your words may have angered the gods, if you don't ask for the sins quickly, I'm afraid that not only will you suffer, but even the people around you will not be spared, immeasurable Tianzun!" ”

The old lady believed his words, and hurriedly reprimanded Miss Ji and said, "You girl is dizzy, and you speak disrespectfully early in the morning, which angers the heavens, so why don't you make amends to Mr. and ask for a solution." ”

Miss Ji was not convinced, stretched out her right hand in front of Li Xiangshi, and said: "I have not been able to give birth to a son since I got married, and I have three daughters in a row. When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but glance at Miss Ji, this girl is Su Li Xiangshi, she is not married at all, she has never given birth to a child, where did she come from with three daughters.

Li Xiangshi saw that the girl was less than thirty years old, her face was pale, and the fallen horse bun on her head was that of a married woman, so he did not suspect fraud, casually looked at her palmistry, shook his head and said: "This eldest sister, you have no children in your life, in addition to the current three daughters, you will have to give birth to two daughters in a row in the future." ”

Miss Ji smiled when she heard this, looked at the old lady, and said slyly: "Old lady, you can open your eyes this time, the slave has long advised you to listen less to the words of the minister." ”

The old lady's ears were the softest, and she believed Miss Ji's words again, "So, he doesn't know how to divination, but is fooling the old body, and yesterday's vision is not a bad omen at all, so there is no need to plant vitality and eliminate disasters?" ”

Li Xiangshi was in a hurry, how could there be a reason for the silver in his hand to fly away, he was not the deceitful warlock, he was still cultivating the aisle next door to the big door. At that moment, he took out the divination utensils, carefully calculated a hexagram for Miss Ji, and corrected himself: "I didn't look carefully, but now I look at it, this eldest sister has married two husbands and has given birth to two sons, and will give birth to two daughters in the future." ”

When Miss Ji heard that she was told her secret, she couldn't help but be stunned, and the old lady didn't know that Miss Ji had married two husbands in private, only that she had two adopted sons. So, the old lady waved her hand at Li Xiangshi and said, "I'm tired, I'll talk to you another day, you can go back to the outer courtyard first." ”

Li Xiangshi muttered in disbelief, "That's right, ...... this time," and walked away dejectedly.

Miss Ji was stunned, came back to her senses and continued to say to the old lady: "When I went to see the third lady in the morning, she said, our ancestral tomb and ancestral shrine are fine, it is really gratifying, if this matter spreads to the capital, our Luo family will have a greater happy event, keep you happy." ”

The old lady raised her neck, came to her senses, and asked, "Sister Yi said this?" That girl is so young, why did she suddenly understand the things of the heavens again? ”

Miss Ji said: "It seems that I dreamed of the old man and listened to what he said." ”

"Listen to what Lao Luo said?" The old lady's eyes widened.

"Yes," Miss Ji nodded, "It is said that some of them are also related to the fortune of the Luo family." ”

“？！” The old lady looked longing.

"But ......," Miss Ji was embarrassed, "it is said that she was so frightened by the second lady last night, and the third lady's condition became more and more serious, and now she can't remember anything in her dream." ”

※※※

He Angelica looked in the mirror to touch up her makeup, and there was a laugh behind her, she looked back and saw that it was Meng Ying dressed as a housekeeper, so she asked, "The letter was sent?" Is there a reply? ”

"Hmph," Meng Ying was displeased, "After you marry Brother Xuan, you have to call me the third brother, pay attention to your attitude, you can't call me like a subordinate, and add the word 'excuse asked' to the question." ”

"Excuse me, where's my reply?" He Angelica re-asked word by word.

Meng Ying told her: "There is only one message, the fat girl said, you still have the brains and the means, but she will not just admit defeat, she must fight with the two snake spirits of the Ji family again." If you still don't win, try your way again. ”

He Angelica looked in the mirror twice, put on his veil and said, "That's really hard for you, 'please' you go and rest." ”

"Is the rash on your face painted?" Meng Ying expressed curiosity, "I really can't see it, it's the same as growing out of your face." Can you help me with some makeup? I wanted to put on some scented ash, but I found that your makeup was more realistic. ”

He Angelica looked at Meng Ying's face that had brought disaster to the country and the people, and asked suspiciously: "Why are you putting on makeup, don't want to continue to follow and spy on me, I don't need bodyguards." ”

"I don't care," Meng Ying played tricks again, threatening, "If you don't give me makeup, I'll follow you with my true appearance, and when the people of the Luo family ask, I will definitely make up a wonderful story for them." ”

He Angelica frowned and asked, "What exactly do you want to do?" Is it really Meng Xuan who sent you? ”

"It's not pie, it's him who 'begged' me to come and see you," Meng Ying picked her nostrils with her fingers and said angrily, "I think you're very funny, just follow and see, you don't have to worry about me, just do what you have to do." ”

He Angelica thought about it, opened the makeup purse, picked out the disfigurement material in it, grinded his teeth and asked, "What do you want to become?" ”

"I don't understand," Meng Ying picked up a small clip and fiddled with it in a new way, "You have a lot of experience, you can do it well, just make me as heroic as the original, and I won't be noticed." ”

“……”

Half an hour later, an intermittent moan came from the inner chamber of the Pavilion, "Ah...... Tap, it hurts...... Queen, you tap, don't ......."

He Angelica warned him solemnly: "There is someone guarding the door, if you don't shut up, I will clamp your eyelids with a clip." ”

Meng Ying burst into a tear in pain, and asked in a trembling voice: "Why is it that when you change your face, it's like painting, and you can draw it without pain, but you have to use scissors, knives and clips to change your face?" ”

"Because you are demanding," He Angelica told him, "and you are Meng Xuan's brother, and these are the things I take special care of you." ”

Meng Ying saw a small needle approaching her eyebrows, closed her eyes and asked, "Does the real disguise hurt so much?" Why did King Ning and them do it in a flash? Hiss-" he gasped, "Did you pierce my brow?" Will this disfigurement be restored in the future, will it be disfigured? ”

He Angelica's subordinates strengthened and replied: "Only the first time it will hurt, and it will be fine later, I am helping you make a human skin mask, a mask can last for three months, and you will be satisfied after seeing it." "I gritted my teeth because of the weight of my hand.

Meng Ying broke out in a cold sweat in pain, and regretted a little that He Angelica had disguised him, and muttered: "Nowadays women are really not gentle, one is more fierce than the other, I thought that a man like Su Niang was the only one, but I didn't expect to meet another one today." ”

"Who is Su Niang?" He Angelica captures the keyword.

"Su Niang...... Meng Ying rolled her eyes and replied proudly, "She is my brother's confidante, it is this Su Niang who gave birth to a fat boy for Brother Xuan." ”

"Are you serious? Didn't lie to me? ”

"Can I deceive you, if you don't believe it, wait for Brother Xuan to come back and ask him, he's three months old, that little guy."
