Chapter 17: The back hall of the Flower House
The king stretched out his hand and dragged the hand of Hua Moyuan, the only one standing, into the threshold of the flower house, and dropped a sentence: "No courtesy!" Everyone got up behind him, Kang Kexin watched the king of Yu holding Hua Moyuan's hand, a sour feeling sprouted in her heart, and she drooped her head and entered the flower house with a discouraged look. Jin Pingchuan followed closely behind King Yu and Hua Moyuan, guiding the direction of the hall from time to time, and from time to time instructed the girls around him, "You, hurry up and prepare refreshments." "You, go to the West Wing to clean the rooms for the guests" "You, go to the West Garden to clean the maiden and buy the items needed for life" "You, quickly go to inform the lord that there are VIPs in the house." "You ......," Jin Chuanping explained many matters as he walked.
Hua Mo kept struggling to withdraw her hand from the king of the servants, but the king grabbed her hand, pulled her to his side and whispered: "With my big backer, presumably the Hua family will not secretly send killers to assassinate you again!"
These words stirred her sensitive nerves, and she couldn't help but feel sad. The tears in her eyes were rolling, and she couldn't let them flow, so she took a deep breath of her nose to change the sour nostrils into a breath of fresh air. She bit her lower lip and bowed her head silently. Looking at the attendants around her who frequently squatted and saluted, she chose to be silent.
King Yu shook the folding fan and wrapped Hua Mo's docile hand tightly, he felt Hua Mo's silence, he felt inexplicably sorry for her, he didn't look back at her, just held her like this, covering the fragility in her heart for her. Jin Pingchuan carefully looked at the two people in front of her, she needed to take every detail seriously, and she weighed the pros and cons in her heart.
The group walked through the corridor, passed by the right side of the rockery, and came out of a door to the front of the back hall. Jin Pingchuan stepped forward and said, "Lord Wang, please follow me to the front hall." The prince turned around and glanced at Jin Pingchuan and the group behind him, a smile rose at the corner of his mouth, approached Hua Moyuan, and kissed Hua Moyuan lightly on Hua Moyuan's forehead through the cloak and said, "I'll wait for you in the front hall." With that, he let go of her hand and followed Jin Pingchuan out of the right door of the courtyard in the back hall. There were only Hua Moyuan and a few attendants left in the courtyard, and a woman about 25 years old came out of the back hall and took Hua Mo's hand and said: "Yuan, this is the ancestral house, you haven't come back for some years, let's say hello to our ancestors first!"
Hua Moyuan raised her head and looked at the woman holding her, wearing a plain white dress, the lilac chrysanthemum embroidered edge was extremely fresh, and the single snail hair was decorated with a silver hairpin.
"Sister, haven't you forgotten me?" The woman in the plain white dress said with a sad face: "The accident five years ago caused you to lose your memory, how could I forget this stubble again!" Hua Moyu bit her lower lip, she didn't know what to say, and when she was hesitating, she inexplicably took the initiative to hug the woman in the plain white dress.
The woman said with a crying voice: "I am the second sister-in-law Deng Qiyun, you used to call me Sister Yun." Hua Mo raised her right hand and patted the woman's back, this woman named Deng Qiyun made her feel extra cordial, and she had the taste of relatives who had been reunited for a long time. After the two hugged each other for a long time, they let go of each other, Deng Qiyun took Hua Moyuan's hands and said, "It's a good thing that you come back, why am I crying" Saying that, he raised his elbow, lowered his head and wiped the tears on his face with the sleeve of his elbow. Hua Moyun let go of Deng Qiyun's hand, took off her cloak, and took out a handkerchief from her waist to wipe it for Deng Qiyun, whose face was full of tears.
Deng Qiyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart when he saw Hua Mo's face and moonlight, the years have changed, the female college has changed eighteen, and in just five years, this little girl has grown so graceful. She was happy for Hua Moyuan, but at the same time, she was worried about Hua Moyuan. She frowned slightly, then quickly stretched out, and she took Hua Moyuan's hand and stepped into the back hall. There are nine tablets in the hall, namely: Hua Hongzhen (Hua Qianfeng's father), Mu Zhirong (Hua Qianfeng's mother), Tong Youqin (Hua Qianfeng's second room), Qu Lingshan (Hua Qianfeng's third room), Hua Haocang (Tong Youqin's eldest son), Yu Xin (Tong Youqin's daughter-in-law), Hua Haoyu (Qu Lingshan's son), Miao Siling (Qu Lingshan's daughter-in-law), Hua Haonan (Tong Youqin's second son), Hua Mo's eyes scanned the tablet, and she didn't see Kang Kexin's aunt - Kang Xiuping's tablet, she asked in surprise: "Mother's tablet?"
Deng Qiyun walked to the left front, stopped in the lower left corner of the tablet case, squatted down and lifted the corner of a piece of black fabric, and took out Kang Xiuping's tablet. She held the tablet in both hands, placed Kang Xiuping's tablet at the front of the case, and said, "Worship your mother!" said and handed over three soul-returning incense sticks that had been lit. Hua Mo took the soul incense and inserted it on the bronze incense burner. Close your eyes, fold your hands, bow your head three times, and straighten up. Stretching out her hand to pick up Kang Xiuping's tablet, she saw the green smoke curling on the bronze incense burner gathered into a woman, yes, it was a woman in a lilac flower dress, with exquisite makeup, looking behind her with tears in her eyes, the woman's face was too familiar, familiar as seeing herself. As if she didn't see her, the woman ran through her body to the door, and in the courtyard stood a middle-aged man in a blue robe and a brown waistcoat, with the man with his back to him and his hands folded behind his back. The woman knelt on the ground and said, "Master, it's really not a concubine, I hope you will see it!" The man raised his leg and took a step without looking back, and the woman leaned forward, hugged the man's feet and cried: "Master, do you believe me?" The man turned around, broke the woman's hand with his hand and said: "Xiuping, I can't bear to think about the husband and wife" said and turned his back.
"Hehehe......" The woman got up, looked up to the sky and smiled, two lines of tears, she turned around and hit her head on the stone pillar in front of the door of the back hall, "bang", she fainted with blood stains. The man paused, he didn't look back, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the back hall.
After a while, a woman dressed in brocade, white and red dress, combed with double swords, walked out from behind the bonsai between the walls on the right side of the back hall, she tiptoed to Kang Xiuping's side, stuffed a pill into Kang Xiuping's face, and left satisfied.
Deng Qiyun saw Hua Mo holding Kang Xiuping's tablet and walked to the door for a long time, she was puzzled, she called: "Mo, Mo, Mo ......" called many times, Hua Mo came back to her senses from her distraction.
"Sister Yun, didn't you see it just now? Kang Xiu..... Oh, no, my mother just came out and knelt down and begged for someone to ......" Hua Mo said, pointing to a place in the courtyard.
"Haunted again......"
The attendants screamed and scattered, interrupting Hua Moyuan's words, Hua Moyuan looked confused, what she said was just what she saw with her own eyes, why would these people run away in fright! Deng Qiyun on the side gently patted her shoulder and said: "Maybe it's just a hallucination that you are a little tired from running all the way, don't mention it next time." As she spoke, she took Kang Xiuping's tablet from Hua Mo's hand, placed it in the lower left corner of the case again, and covered it with a black cloth.
"Why do you want this?" Hua Mo said and stepped forward to open the black cloth, picked up the tablet and said suspiciously.
"Hey, the people in this flower house are afraid of your mother's ghost, so ......" Deng Qiyun looked helpless, you must know that she has been reciting scriptures in this back hall since Hua Haonan died, and she has never seen a ghost. She really wanted to see Hua Haonan's ghost, and wanted to know the real cause of Hua Haonan's death, she absolutely couldn't accept that her husband died of illness.
"Are you afraid?" Hua Moyuan asked.
"I'm not afraid, I want to meet. It's been two years since your second brother Hao Nan passed away, and I've been staying in this back hall for the past two years, and I've never seen any ghosts. Deng Qiyun said with tears in his eyes.
"Who else has ever seen my mother besides me?" asked Hua Moyuan.
"Magpie, your personal maidservant, five years ago, on the day you left with Uncle Kang, the magpie kept shouting ghosts, ghosts in the back hall~ Everyone rushed to the back hall, she pointed to the tablet and shouted ghosts, ghosts~ She also said that she slept well in the room, and woke up in the morning to the back hall, and when she opened her eyes, she was very sad and sad to see your mother crying. Therefore, the eldest mother arranged your mother's tablet in this corner, so in the past two years, when I worship your second brother and second mother, I will invite the fourth mother out to worship together. Deng Qiyun recalled.
"Sister Yun, where are the magpies?" asked Hua Moyuan.
"Crazy, I've been hiding in your yard for five years and haven't left, and now it's deserted and uninhabited. The lady looked at your thin noodles and arranged for her subordinates to send some food to the girl regularly. It's also a poor person, stupid and stupid every day, crazy and crazy, I have come to the back hall several times to say some crazy things, and I was called by the eldest lady to beat 20 boards and drag back to your house. Deng Qiyun then asked, "Do you still live in that deserted courtyard when you come back now?"
"Is it Xiyuan?" Hua Moyuan asked, Hua Moyuan didn't know which courtyard she lived in, she only remembered that Jin Pingchuan arranged for her to be Xiyuan.
"Xiyuan is good, it's popular!" Deng Qiyun took off the tablet in Hua Moyuan's arms, wiped it with a handkerchief, and still placed it under the black cloth. She did all these actions, completely ignoring Hua Moyuan, as if she was the only one in the back hall. After placing it, she lifted the hem of her skirt and left across the threshold towards the side of the courtyard, she didn't pay attention to Hua Mo's call behind her: "Sister Yun, Sister Yun......"
Hua Moyu stood alone in this back hall, and the only voice in the back hall was the aftermath of her calling for Sister Yun, and she felt very helpless and confused. She picked up the soul incense on the case with her right hand, and her left index finger and thumb made a snapping sound, and a flame rose between her fingers to light the soul incense. A bundle of soul incense burned quickly, she frowned slightly, and a gust of wind extinguished the fire on the soul incense. With a thrust of her right hand, a bundle of soul incense spread out in all directions, forming a circle around her. The case began to vibrate, and the tablets moved one after another, making countless gurgling sounds, which became louder and louder......
