Chapter 24: The Sound
Princess Yongmu's face stiffened slightly, and then returned to her casual appearance, and smiled lightly: "Then forget it." ”
The prince next to him looked over when he heard this, and said curiously: "Pei Shizi, you and Yongmu were in the north before, so you should be acquainted, right?" ”
He had heard that when Yongmu was in the north, he had frequent contacts with the Zhenbei Palace. Otherwise, she would not have entered the deserted tribe alone to help the Zhenbei army quell the turmoil in the rear.
The prince was banned this time, and he didn't dare to secretly act to trap Pei Yu anymore, but if he could use Yongmu to cage him under his command, it would be better.
Only now, looking at the attitude of the Pei family, it is not enthusiastic.
Pei You put down the wine cup and replied lightly: "Shu and the princess did know each other in the north, but the princess has always liked to travel around, although we know each other, we don't see each other much. ”
The prince raised his eyebrows, and then said with a smile: "So that's the case, Yongmu helped the northern army of Zhenzhen to calm the turmoil in the rear, and now the two of you meet in Yingdu, it's always fate." ”
Princess Yongmu also nodded with a smile, but her heart sank slightly, he was deliberately distancing himself from himself?
Pei Youyi or the entire Zhenbei Army can be said to be Xiao Cheng's backing.
Now he deliberately downplays the relationship between the two, but he is worried that the emperor is afraid that the two will get too close and become taboo? Or, is the current Pei family just bent on being a pure minister and doesn't want to participate in the power struggle of the princes?
Princess Yongmu wanted to ask in private, but since Pei Yu came to Yingdu, except for the first time he met her in the palace, the two talked a few words, and they rarely met after that.
In recent days, he has been busy investigating the illegal sale of ironware in the north, so he naturally has no time to enter the palace to find her.
But it will definitely not work all the time, if Pei You and Xiao Cheng are just acquaintances at this time, but the relationship is not close, how can the Zhenbei Army become her solid backing in Da Zhou as recorded in later generations?
Thinking of an idea......
She pondered in her heart, but her face was silent, as if Pei Youfang had not broken her face.
At the end of the banquet, the guests also got up to say goodbye.
This time, there were laughs and jokes, people came and went, some people returned with fun, and some people returned with a full load.
The He family's carriage passed through the streets and alleys, surrounded by the sound of pedestrians and horses.
There was a bustle ahead, and the speed of the carriage slowed down.
He Lingjiang leaned against the wall of the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, while He Yunjia lifted a corner of the car curtain and looked at the scene of the market and pedestrians with interest.
The voice of passers-by slowly spread from the corner of the curtain to He Lingjiang's ears along the breeze.
"Did you hear that? It is said that the Hu Sijia has been haunted recently......"
"Ho! Haunted! What's going on? Tell me about it. ”
"I heard that when he got up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet in the middle of the night in recent days, he could always hear a faint sound. But if you really look for it, you can't see anything. ”
"It can't be hysteria...... one person doubted.
"What's the matter, not only him, but even his mother-in-law in the family said that they had heard that sound, but it wasn't scary! Later, the two boldly followed the sound, only to realize that the movement came from an unused room in his backyard. It seems to be the sound of a bell......"
Bell?
He Lingjiang frowned, and then opened his eyes: "Stop!" ”
He Yunjia didn't know why, so he saw her take Qingzhu out of the carriage, and then ordered: "You go back first, I have some things to deal with, just let Qingzhu and He Zheng follow." ”
The coachman nodded, did as he was told, and the carriage continued on its way.
He Lingjiang took a few steps back, and saw the two pedestrians in the crowd, talking while walking.
She stepped forward and stopped: "Excuse me." I happened to hear the two of them talking about the haunting of someone's house, and the sound of a bell came from the house in the middle of the night. I don't know, but it's true? ”
The two of them were concentrating on discussing these strange things, and they couldn't help but be shocked when they were stopped head-on. I just wanted to open my mouth to complain a few words, but when I looked closely, I found that the little lady who stopped in front of me was so good, and immediately swallowed the unspoken words again.
"The little lady is asking about the haunting of the Hu family?"
He Lingjiang nodded.
Unexpectedly, the little lady in front of her, who seemed to have an extraordinary family background, was still interested in these ghost things in the streets and alleys, and it was rare to hear the guests, and the person who told the story before suddenly felt refreshed, and then said: "It is the Hu Si family in the west of the city, an idle house of their family, and in recent days, the sound of bells has always been heard in the middle of the night. ”
"But Hu Si and his mother-in-law searched the house and didn't find a bell, and when it was night, the bell still rang non-stop, and they were scared in their hearts?"
The two of them felt that something was wrong, so they took advantage of the daylight of the next day to look for it, huh! And guess what? ”
He Lingjiang was also like a listener who was aroused interested, and then asked, "What happened?" ”
The man's voice raised slightly: "This is amazing, they turned over the things they moved the day before, and after a night, they actually returned to their original appearance!" ”
The day before, in order to find the source of the sound, the husband and wife turned the house upside down, and everything was piled up in a mess.
You know, after the two of them rummaged through it, they didn't go to tidy up the house.
In this case, if you don't see the hell, what else can it be!
Although Yingdu has too Qingguan and is not related to the division, but these flat-headed ordinary people meet some flat-headed ghosts, and those Xuanmen from Xuanmen are not eyed by these.
Therefore, if they encounter some slightly bizarre little things in their daily lives, they will also find a warlock or a wisher who wanders the streets and alleys, and they really can't solve it, so they will look for the orthodox Xuanmen monks.
Hu Si and his wife were so frightened that since yesterday, they have asked someone to find the warlock who drove away ghosts and hunted ghosts.
The man sighed: "I don't know if they have found a master and driven away this ghost wandering in the world......
He Ling Jiang had a guess in his heart, and he wanted to solve this matter in person: "Don't worry, it's just that Hu Si and his wife haven't found a warlock yet, so they don't have to worry about it now." ”
"Why is that?" The man was suspicious.
He Lingjiang smiled: "Tell me the location of the Hu Si family, I went, and they will be able to solve this matter." ”
"You?" The two raised their eyebrows and looked surprised, "You mean you're going to hunt ghosts?" ”
He Lingjiang nodded: "Yes, I'll go." ”
Is this little lady joking?
The two looked her up and down, this little lady is indeed good-looking, but good-looking can't be used to catch ghosts, and the ghost won't see a flower-like face and lose his temperament, and he will die.
She doesn't look like a character who can descend to a ghost, but if it is the two who follow behind her, it is slightly more reliable.
The two couldn't help laughing: "Little lady, you said that you went to hunt ghosts, I don't know which sect you came from?" Ghost hunting is no joke. ”
He Lingjiang shook his head seriously: "I'm not joking about ghosts. ”
"As for the sect, I don't have either."
The two of them just wanted to tell her to stop joining in the fun, so they heard the little lady with picturesque eyebrows say: "I am the seventh mother of the He family, He Lingjiang." ”
