Mrs. Zhang's eyes turned upward, and she fell into the memories of the past: "The slave and maid still remember the day the slave and maid entered the house, there was goose feather snow in the sky, and the slave and maid were cold, hungry and scared...... But in a flash, the slave and maid changed from a yellow-haired little girl to a white-haired old woman!"

There are many old roots of trees, and there are many old sayings of people. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Ruo Tan was afraid that she would recall endlessly, so he hurriedly interrupted her words and asked, "Mom is the old man of my family, do you still remember the situation when this girl Lan Xiang entered the house?"

A trace of uneasiness flashed in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, but she still had a sneer: "I'm old, and I can't remember a lot of things." ”

Ruo Wan'er smiled, knowing that she was doing Tai Chi, she even remembered every detail of her when she first entered the mansion, not to mention that Lan Xiang's death was in a uproar, how could she forget?

Ruochen didn't poke at her, but just looked at her quietly with a smile.

Keep an eye on ......

Mrs. Zhang's heart became more and more empty by her staring, and she couldn't pretend to be calm if she wanted to, the teacup in her hand kept shaking, and she secretly glanced at Ruochen, I don't know what her smile meant, and she calculated and calculated in her heart, Mrs. only warned not to mention Lan Xiang's death, and didn't say that she would not let Lan Xiang enter the house, and finally turned her heart sideways and said: "Princess, every word that the princess says here today begs the princess not to leak it." ”

Ruo Tan still smiled faintly and replied with the word "good".

Zhang Po Zifang put her mind at ease and said: "Lan Xiang was only seven years old when she entered the mansion, and she was very delicate and likable. ”

Ruo Chen asked: "The person who sold her teeth is speaking Luoyang dialect?"

Mrs. Zhang looked at her in surprise and replied, "Yes." ”

Ruo Tan asked again: "What was abnormal about Sister Lan Xiang before she died?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she refused to say any more.

Ruo Chen smiled and said, "Does Mother Zhang know the meaning of fifty steps and a hundred steps?"

Mrs. Zhang said blankly: "The princess said that she laughed, the old slave has never read a book, and she has never even heard of this sentence, so how can she understand the meaning?"

Ruo Tan explained: "It is about two soldiers on the battlefield who fled during the battle, and the one who escaped fifty steps laughed and fled a hundred steps. Speaking of this, he stared at Mrs. Zhang intently with the corners of his mouth and said, "Mother Zhang, do you think that the one who escaped fifty steps is qualified to laugh at the one who escaped a hundred steps?"

Mrs. Zhang wanted to please Ruo Chen, so she quickly responded: "Of course not, fifty steps, a hundred steps, aren't they all deserters?"

Speaking of this, I suddenly realized that I said some of it and said it, and I said it all and said it, even so, it is better to please the princess, with her cover, I will be fine, otherwise it will be difficult to explain on both sides, isn't I not a person inside and out?

Therefore, he said: "The princess's intentions are understood by the old slave, but it is just the matter of Lanxiang, and Mrs. Sanshen and Wu ordered that no one is allowed to mention it, so the old slave does not dare to say it." ”

Ruo Tan tried his best to dispel her worries and said: "Who is Madame? Who am I? Tell me, that is, my mother knows, with me on top, what is the matter with Guan Zhang's mother?"

Mrs. Zhang replied: "Since the princess said so, I will rest assured that the old woman." After that, his eyes stared at a certain place, and he began to recall: "Lan Xiang did have something strange before she died, and I don't know if she was frightened by Aunt Zeng's miscarriage, she was a little depressed, afraid of people, and always liked to be alone, but just half a month before she died, she suddenly became elated, and said that it wouldn't be long before she could leave Fangfu, so we asked her where she was going, she said to go back to her hometown, and if she asked more, she refused to say...... Later, I heard that she committed suicide by throwing herself into the water, and she used to go home this way......"

Mrs. Zhang was also sold into Fangfu since she was a child, and her relatives in her hometown didn't know anything, and now when she talks about Lanxiang's death, it is inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad, and she will cry and wipe it with her sleeve.

Ruo Tan raised her faint willow eyebrows and asked suspiciously: "Lan Xiang committed suicide by throwing herself into the water?"

Mrs. Zhang was slightly stunned, subconsciously turned her head to look at the green jade, and suddenly understood that her seemingly unintentional gossip in the morning was a deliberate inquiry, and the matter had come to this point, not to mention that it would not work, she got up and ran to the window in front of the door to peep out, and said in a low voice mysteriously: "The old body did not see Lan Xiang's corpse, but only heard from the person who salvaged the corpse that there was a black and purple strangulation mark on her neck, which should have been strangled to death first, and then thrown into the lotus pond!"

Ruo Tan thought for a moment and asked, "Did anything strange happen after Lan Xiang's death?"

Mrs. Zhang thought about it, shook her head and said, "No." ”

Ruo Tan asked again: "Do you know that the lotus pond is haunted?"

Mrs. Zhang already knew everything at this time: "Who in the house doesn't know? With that, he glanced at him again and again, and finally shut up.

Ruo Chen nodded, ordered Amber to take a silver ingot and reward her mother-in-law, and said, "If someone asks why you came to me, how should Mother Zhang answer?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "The old slave said that I heard that the princess has not thought about eating and drinking recently, and the old man has a prescription for poor appetite. ”

Ruochen nodded with satisfaction: "Very good." ”

Mrs. Zhang's wife stood up to say goodbye and walked to the door, but she hesitated and hesitated.

Seeing this, Ruo Tan said softly: "Did Mother Zhang remember something?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "The old man remembers some things, and I don't know if it is useful to Miss. ”

If you listen to her words, you will understand that she knows the purpose of asking her to ask, and thinks, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and said with a smile: "It's okay to listen to it." ”

Mrs. Zhang's husband walked up to Ruo Chen's side and said mysteriously: "The haunting in the house didn't start after Lan Xiang's death. ”

Ruo Chen raised his eyebrows slightly and gave a slightly surprised "Oh?" and asked, "When did that start?"

Amber was most afraid of ghosts, but she wanted to hear it, so she slowly rubbed her body towards Ruo Chen, and finally clinged to her.

Mrs. Zhang stepped forward, kept a solemn face, and lowered her voice: "It was rumored that the people in the mansion were haunted before Lan Xiang's death. ”

"Oh?" Ruo Tan looked at Mrs. Zhang suspiciously in surprise.

Amber grabbed one of her arms in fear.

Mrs. Zhang continued: "It was after Lan Xiang said that she was about to leave the house and return to her hometown, one night, because it was winter, the snow in the sky kept falling like a tussle, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

When the subordinate called her name, Lan Xiang seemed startled, and suddenly disappeared into the darkness.

Although the subordinate thought it was strange, he didn't go to his heart, and walked back while eating rice cakes, and as soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Lan Xiang wearing a flower skirt and a flower jacket from the back room to receive Aunt Zeng's medicine for miscarriage and physical weakness, so he asked in surprise: "Lan Xiang, why are you here?"

Lan Xiang asked strangely, "I'm not here, where should I be?"

The subordinate was surprised: "I just saw you outside the mansion, why are you here in a blink of an eye!"

Lan Xiang flicked his sleeves and said: "This person's brain went out and was kicked by a donkey, and I don't know how to doppelgänger, how can I appear in two places at the same time?"

The subordinate was a little confused, wondering if he had recognized the wrong person just now?

Like a ghost, he turned his head and looked outside the mansion, and in the light of the lantern hanging high in front of the mansion, there was a lanxiang who was dressed in black and had a pale face!

The subordinate was stunned for a moment, stared at the orchid and made sure that he didn't recognize the wrong person, and turned his head to call out to the flower jacket orchid who was walking to the depths of the house.

Lan Xiang turned back in response.

The subordinate was blindfolded all of a sudden, and when he looked back, the gloomy orchid in front of the mansion was gone!

Cold sweat ran down his spine at once.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lan Xiang thought he was teasing her, and left angrily.

The subordinate who went to the door to guard the door with a trace of strange hope, did he see Lan Xiang standing outside the mansion just now, everyone said no, and asked him what was going on.

The subordinate told the story again, and there was an old man in the family who said that he had met a ghost, and predicted that Lan Xiang would soon have bad luck.

Everyone asked why, the old man said that the soul of the dying person had left his body, so he could see the same person in different places at the same time, in fact, one was a ghost and the other was a walking corpse.

When the subordinate heard this, he had a fever and talked nonsense that night, and it took half a month to recover, and everyone said that he was so touched by ghosts.

Since that night, after the subordinate saw the ghost, some of the family members who were on duty in front of the mansion at night also saw a black-clothed orchid standing in front of the mansion, some people took a second look, or some boldly stepped forward to ask, the black-clothed orchid disappeared suddenly, and everyone was panicked.

Mrs. Xu quietly asked the Taoist priest to do the trick again, and the black-clothed orchid in front of the mansion never appeared again.

Just as the rumors gradually subsided, Lan Xiang suddenly died, fulfilling the words of the old family, and everyone began to feel uneasy again.

Lan Xiang had to keep a guard before the burial, and the head of Wei specially sent four bold young nurses to guard the spirit, and when the people were most sleepy in the early morning, the four sleepy-eyed family members all saw Lan Xiang in black standing outside the mourning hall, staring at the coffin in the mourning hall with resentment.

Everyone was so frightened that they fell asleep, and the orchid flashed and melted into the night, and there was no trace of it.

Later, after the orchid was put into the soil, the lotus pond began to be haunted. ”

After Mrs. Zhang finished speaking, she secretly looked at Ruochen, her face was pale, and she was a little disappointed in her heart, it was rumored that the princess's heart was as deep as the sea, and it was difficult to figure out, she just didn't believe it before, what kind of wind and frost can a teenage girl go through, she would be so calm, but now she doesn't believe it.

Ruo Tan didn't care about the length of the matter, but smiled and said, "Thank you, Mom." ”

Mrs. Zhang's wife said goodbye stupidly, walked out of Rongxi Hall, touched the silver ingots and silver hairpins in her arms, and her mood became better again.

Mrs. Zhang turned around and saw Bai Mei walking from behind with Mrs. Xu, looking at the direction, it should be from Zhu Yixuan, she hurriedly flashed to the side of the road and stood with her hands down, and asked Mrs. Xu first, Fang Xiangxiao replied to Bai Mei's words: "The girl is smiling, how can we wait for the slaves and maids who do rough work to have treasures to obtain, and they can't compare to the girl serving in front of Mrs. Xu." ”

Mrs. Xu's girl has never been big, Bai Mei only smiled gently, and helped Mrs. Xu to walk forward.

As soon as she walked to Mrs. Zhang's side, she heard that something had fallen on the cobblestone road, and the master and servant subconsciously looked down to see that it was a silver ingot, Mrs. Xu raised her head and looked at Mrs. Zhang suspiciously.

Mrs. Zhang was full of remorse, and it was best not to let Mrs. Xu know about her meeting with Ruochen, so as not to be suspicious, but it was a coincidence that she showed traces and said that this ingot of silver was her own? With that, he took out the two silver hairpins from his arms and showed them to Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Zhang is old and sophisticated, and she knows that the more she hides it, the more suspicious her wife is, it is better to be above board, and maybe she can get away with it.

Sure enough, Mrs. Xu said with a faint smile: "Since it is a reward for Chen'er, you can take it." "With that, keep walking.

Mrs. Zhang had been standing in place and half-bending down to send Mrs. Xu off, until the figures of their master and servant disappeared from sight, Fang straightened up, took a long breath, and walked to another road.

On the way, Mrs. Xu instructed Bai Mei with an indifferent face: "You will inquire later, and inquire what Mother Zhang and Tan'er have said." ”

Bai Mei asked in surprise: "Madame is saying that Madam Zhang didn't tell the truth just now?" Then why didn't Madame ask what the prescription was, and then ask Mademoiselle, to see if it is consistent, don't you know if she is telling the truth?"

Mrs. Xu sneered: "Chen'er is thoughtful and has always done things without leakage, you can think of this, how could she not think of it?"

Bai Mei asked secretly, "What does Madam think Mother Zhang will talk to Miss?"

Mrs. Xu said: "I can't guess for sure, but it's definitely not a prescription!"

Bai Mei said: "In this case, let's just don't do it, and kill Mother Zhang!"

Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and said: "Killing Mother Zhang at this time can only expose us, Mother Zhang is just a rough subordinate, how much can she know the inside story, don't worry about her!"

After Mrs. Zhang left, Amber looked tired, took a pillow and let her half-crooked on the couch, sat beside her and gently kneaded her thin arm, and asked curiously: "Miss, is it true that a dying person will leave his body?" ”

Ruo Tan lazily replied, "Yes, but Lanxiang is not." ”

Amber stopped what she was doing and asked incomprehensibly, "Why is Miss so sure?" ”

Ruo Chen smiled: "Aren't you curious about who I just drew just now?" ”

Green Jade was surprised: "Isn't it vanilla?"

Ruochen looked at Amber and said, "It's the appearance of the female ghost we met three times." ”

Amber was stunned, "How did the two of them look so alike?" and then suddenly realized, "Are they sisters?
