"Cicada clothes, can you not carry these things in front of my eyes?" He Angelica was bored fiddling with the box of jade beads that Mama Tang had just sent, and said helplessly, "I'm dizzy!" ”

"Miss, don't you know, since I brought this set of exorcism equipment, I have slept much more steadily at night!" Cicada clothes hung a circle of garlic around her neck, a bright demon mirror on her chest, and dozens of bright yellow exorcism talismans sewn on her maid's uniform. Cicada Yi smiled: "Since you told me in Rabbit Town that the Luo family is a dangerous place, I have prepared this set of evil exorcision equipment, originally I would have believed it, but since I met 'Yi' that day, I have completely believed it." ”

He Angelica made an agreement with Cicada Yi, and when he mentioned the monster again, he used "Yi" to refer to it, so as not to be heard by others.

According to Cicada Yi's statement, that night, after she and Miss Ji sent the eldest lady Luo Baiying back to the yard, the eldest lady Luo Baiying sent her a bunch of chores and asked her to finish before leaving, and Miss Ji hurriedly went to the small warehouse of Fushouyuan to count the accounts, leaving her there alone. By the time she had weeded the whole garden, fed it to the goats, and sheared the wool and spread it on the garden floor, the sun was almost out.

She wanted to listen back to the bamboo courtyard to rest but unfortunately got lost, and came to a pavilion with a plaque called "Bird Bird Ding" - He Angelica, who had been to the scene of the crime once afterwards, guessed that she was probably talking about "Mandarin Duck Pavilion" - Cicada Yi said that she saw a man and a woman kissing in the pavilion, forked legs, she wanted to go up to ask them for directions, who knew that before she put her ideas into action, the monster that looked like a man flew down from the sky.

When it was, the man in the pavilion was captured by Yi to suck blood, while the woman was stunned on the spot. According to Cicada Yi's description, Yi's eyes glowed with purple light, but ...... It seems that he can only see things that can run and move, and he can't see anything still on the ground, because after Yi finished sucking the man, instead of sucking the woman who fainted on the ground, he turned around and sucked a passing badger pig.

Cicada Yi recalled with palpitations that his own cry attracted Yi, and the wind and wind suddenly came out from behind him, pulling him and running, but the three of them couldn't run away from Yi, and the inspiration called the wind whisper moved, making everyone lie on the ground and hold their breath. When Yi Fei came over, he didn't even look at them lying on the ground pretending to be dead, and flew away in the southeast direction. Later, the three of them found out that when they pretended to be dead, they accidentally overwhelmed a large piece of magnolia flowers in the flower garden, and later, Steward Li found a flattened magnolia flower on the back of Feng Yan's head, and Feng Yan was detained for compensation.

After hearing this, He Angelica pondered, there was only the bitter bamboo forest in the southeast of the atrium, and the martial arts master who sucked human blood flew into the bitter bamboo forest? So she painted portraits of all the people who knew martial arts in Luofu, and asked Cicada Yi to identify them one by one, Cicada Yi shook her head and said, None of them were Yi that night. couldn't ask for more information, He Angelica simply threw it away, no longer theorized about the matter, and just asked the maids to guard the door of Taoyao Courtyard at night.

The so-called maids are actually a total of five people - although Taoyao Courtyard is staggeringly large, but now in addition to cicada clothes and acacia flowers, there are only three maids who have been transferred from the old lady's garden and are specially responsible for taking care of Zhu Ge'er. Mama Tang once said that the second wife would send a group of good maids and grandmothers for her to choose in a few days, but the concept of "a few days" is relatively vague, and it is still far away after seven days. And He Angelica was happy to make the yard quieter, and instructed the cicada clothes and acacia flowers not to do anything except the sprinkling and sweeping work in their own rooms.

Since the fall of the kitchen manager Wang Qi's family and the replacement of the Yangwu family, although the principle of simplicity and simplicity has been pursued for three meals a day, they have been delivered without a meal. Every day, He Angelica sat crooked in the room after eating, planning the first transaction to do something. After eating, Cicada Yi put away the dishes and bowls, drew her exorcism talisman on the dining table, and after drawing, she asked Huaihua to help her sew on her clothes, and then wear them to He Angelica, so the three of them commented and laughed...... The days passed like flowing water unconsciously.

After a day or two, nothing was revealed, and after four or five days, the leaves in the Taoyao courtyard were already falling all over the ground, swirling with the wind. Except for the few rooms that are now occupied, most of the rest of the houses are covered in dust, and the beams that had been newly painted a few days ago have been covered with beautiful cobwebs.

In the past, when Luo Baishao was the master of Taoyao Courtyard, there were more than 20 people in the yard who were responsible for maintaining the peach blossom forest, pruning and pruning leaves, and cultivating soil and watering.

This morning, when Mama Tang came to deliver the silver ticket and visit Brother Zhu'er, she suspected that she had gone to the wrong yard, thinking of the bustle and prosperity here in the past, the depressed scene in front of her seemed even more discouraged. So this time, even Mama Tang couldn't help but blame the second wife in her heart, it was really unseemly, even if her daughter and niece were to be treated differently, why was it so obvious, wouldn't it add another laughing stock to outsiders? Now there are two groups of distinguished guests living in Luofuzhong! Fortunately, the third lady is still as reasonable as ever, saying that she lives very comfortably in Taoyao Courtyard, and the cicada clothes and acacia flowers serve very thoughtfully, and there is no need to add more people.

Mama Tang couldn't help but listen, so when she went to Taoyao Courtyard in the afternoon to deliver the box of jade beads, Mama Tang transferred twelve rough maids from the old lady's Fushou Garden, and began to clean up the fallen leaves and cobwebs everywhere. Mama Tang pondered, the distance between Xichangyuan and Taoyao Courtyard is the closest, and the two Young Master Peng will come to the door one day, so the façade must be done well, so that we can assist the third lady to get one of the two as soon as possible, and let the "father-in-law" Peng Haoguang find an official position for the eldest young master in the capital as soon as possible! Thinking like this, Mama Tang was afraid that the fragrance of the peach blossom forest would not be strong enough to attract the two young masters Peng next door, so she commanded the gardeners to move all the hundreds of fragrant chrysanthemums in the flower room and placed them in two circles around the entire Taoyao Courtyard.

I didn't know that Mama Tang had such a ghost idea in her stomach, He Angelica thought that her "depression plan" was too successful, so she looked at the dazzling chrysanthemums all over the ground and was in a good mood, just like that, the old and the young squinted their eyes and smiled......

However, after Mama Tang left, He Angelica's mood was bad again, because when the other party was leaving, he said: "By the way, there is another great news to tell the third lady, our family has got two places to enter Chengxu Academy without examination, and there is also a third miss You, the school will start in four days!" This school is the first important thing, Miss San, you should hurry up and prepare, and see what clothes and beads to wear when the time comes! Then he patiently explained some questions about clothing and accessories before leaving.

"Alas......" He Angelica sighed, he didn't expect that she lived in Luo Baishao's yard and had to take Luo Baishao to school. She had just received 1,700 taels of silver in compensation and bonus, plus 240 taels of Qi Bao Qianzhuang's deposit, plus this box of fine jade beads, plus the piece of agarwood removed from the fragrant wood coffin, and now she has about 2,700 taels of silver. It's too late to try to sneak out of Luofu and go to the commercial square in Yangzhou City to investigate market intelligence, so how can you have time to play the school trick of children pretending to be family wine.

"Here, drink it while it's hot, and when you drink it, hurry up!" Cicada Yi approached with a smell of garlic, brought a bowl of chrysanthemum tea, and said happily, "I picked up a lot of chrysanthemums in the yard just now, and I fried them all into tea!" ”

He Angelica wondered: "Where are you going?" He grabbed the tea and took a sip, and immediately said with a bitter face, "The flowers are all burnt, and why do you add sugar, it tastes weird." ”

"I learned from you!" Cicada Yi said as a matter of course, "Didn't you put a lot of sugar in your red fruit tea last time?" The old lady just sent someone to invite guests to eat in Fushouyuan in the evening, and asked Miss you to go over to eat, but you were in a daze and didn't hear it, so I agreed for you, we are vegetarian for three meals here, and you should eat more good when you are recovering from a serious illness. By the way, the old lady deliberately instructed you to dress up beautifully, do you want to wear flowers? I didn't run out of tea just now, I'll put it on for you! As he spoke, two delicate chrysanthemums came to He Angelica's nose.

He Angelica waved his hand to refuse her kindness, swallowed the chrysanthemum tea in his mouth, and got up and went to the closet in the back room to find clothes that he could wear out to meet guests.

At a glance, the quality of the clothes in the wardrobe is uneven. When I lived with my mother half a year ago, although I got a lot of exquisite and gorgeous dresses, most of them were the kind of wide-sleeved floor-length skirts that I would only wear when dancing. Later, when she came to Luofu, the young lady of the family omitted her when she cut spring, summer and autumn clothes, so there were only some home-style clothes sewn by two embroidery girls in the West Cross Courtyard. The only thing to be thankful for is that Luo Baiqian had a few boxes in the house carried out before burning down the West Cross Courtyard, otherwise she wouldn't even have a change of clothes.

picked and chosen, it was still the most decent of the dresses that Duan Xiaolou gave her in the Taoist temple, so she picked a placket feather gauze skirt with the most plain color and changed it on. The old lady said that she wanted to have a banquet, and she specially sent someone to call her, thinking of the old lady's courteous attitude towards the two Peng family guests a few days ago, it is estimated that the guests of the banquet are them. And Luo Baiqiong did not disappoint herself, "again" fell in love with that Peng Shi at first sight, Luo Baiqiong will inevitably attend on such an occasion, and she dresses plainly to set off Luo Baiqiong brightly.

After changing her clothes, because Cicada Yi resolutely refused to take off her garlic and demon mirror, He Angelica didn't take the maid and went out alone. I didn't meet anyone when I passed by a few yards, but when I turned the corner, I saw the little guy who didn't know whether to call the wind or the wind talk, looking like he was in a hurry, walking very fast under his feet, and going to the southeast, He Angelica was curious and followed.

I saw him carrying a small burden, ran to the corner door on the southeast side in one breath, and then opened half of the door to hand over the burden in his hand, and muttered a few words in a low voice, and there was a cooing sound outside the door. He Angelica took advantage of the cover of the branches to look at the people outside the door, at first glance he looked like a fourteen or fifteen young man, wearing a purple robe, although the material was luxurious, but it was torn and dirty, his hair was unkempt, and there were a few straws stained. When I looked at it again, there was a bit of familiarity in the young man's delicate face, his eyebrows were crooked, his eyes were like paint, the tip of his nose was slightly upturned, and there was a dimple on his left cheek when he spoke.

He Angelica's eyes widened, this person is...... Superb little sister-in-law!

That's right, it's her, the girl in red in Rabbit Town! I remember that in the Qunxian Restaurant, there was a pair of Bagong Boy and Leng Boy who also recognized her, as if they called her "Ling Miaoyi". He Danggui said in his heart, strange, isn't this little girl a majestic daughter, how could she look so depressed and embarrassed this time, what did she do when she ran to the corner gate of Luofu?

He Angelica lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment, and when he looked again, the two people had already finished speaking, and the high-ranking sister-in-law who was standing outside turned around and ran away, and the little guy who didn't know whether it was called Fengyan or Fengyu closed the corner door and walked back humming a little song. He Angelica jumped out of the stab and blocked his way, and said with a smile: "Little brother, the one just now is from the Lingfu of the capital...... Hey, what's her name? I can't remember for a while, so I'll go out and say hello to her! ”

Fengyu was taken aback by He Angelica, who suddenly appeared, and heard that the other party not only recognized Ling Miaoyi, but also went to talk to Ling Miaoyi, so anxious that she hurriedly turned sideways and stopped her and said, "Miss stop, she ...... You must not talk to her! ”

He Dang summed it up and said, "Why? There are friends all over the world, can't I go and say hello to my 'friends'? ”

Feng Yu scratched her head with a dry smile, and said with a flash of inspiration: "Ah, Miss He, you must have seen her tattered appearance!" She doesn't like to meet acquaintances like that ghost, so it's embarrassing for both parties, so you better not look for her! As he spoke, he looked at He Angelica and asked tentatively, "You don't know her well, right?" Don't even remember her name Ling Miaoyi? ”

He Angelica shook his head and said, "Oh, in fact, I have only met her once on the street," seeing the other party's relieved expression, he turned to smile and said, "But I have admired her for a long time, why should I have known each other before, I will say hello to her today!" ”

Frightened, Fengyu opened his arms to block the road and shouted in a low voice, "You can't go!" Uh, it's true, she'...... She's a wicked person who does all kinds of evil! ”
