Chapter 10: Ghost Tricks
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
Huo Weilou had just come back from the palace and was changing into civilian clothes in the house, when he suddenly heard the buzz of people outside, and he couldn't help but ask.
Huo Xing, the personal guard, was waiting outside the door with a sword, and when he heard the prince's displeasure, he immediately responded: "Let's go outside and have a look." ”
"Don't look at it. I know what's going on. Lord, can I go in? ”
Huo Weilou in the house heard that this was Shen Xinyue's voice.
"Miss Shen, you can't go in." Outside the door, Huo Xing directly rejected Shen Xinyue.
I haven't heard this voice for a few days, and I miss it?
Huo Weilou was a little annoyed by the thought that suddenly popped up in his mind, of course, he couldn't tell if he was a little annoyed by this thought or a little annoyed that Huo Xing was not letting Shen Xinyue come in.
The slender fingers brushed the clothes on his body, Huo Weilou raised his face, turned around and said, "Come in!" ”
The door was opened with a "squeak", Huo Weilou wanted to wait for Shen Xinyue to enter the door and ask what was going on outside, but the moment he saw her, the words of the exit changed violently, "What are you doing here?" ”
I saw Shen Xinyue in front of me, completely lacking the elegant posture and dress of the wealthy businessmen and ladies in Jiangnan, wearing only a coarse cloth collared skirt, and a coarse cloth jacket tied to the belt, which contained something unknown, which looked heavy; With weeds and mud on both feet, one hand clutching an unknown weed, the other holding a scythe, and wiping the sweat from his forehead with the back of his hand.
By the way, she was carrying a bamboo basket behind her, and she was carrying a basket!
For a moment, the two people in the room were staring at each other a little wide-eyed!
Huo Xing, who followed Shen Xinyue in, stretched out his hand to stop in front of her, "Lord Wang, she has -"
Before he finished speaking, he retreated with interest and closed the door after seeing Huo Weilou's eyes that seemed to kill him.
It was Shen Xinyue who interrupted the momentary embarrassment in the room first, "Lord Wang, your chin is about to fall to the ground." ”
Is she so shocking? It scared him as if he had seen a ghost.
Huo Weilou put away his uncontrollable expression for a while, and repeated his question just now, "What are you doing here?" How do you dress like this? What a system! ”
Shen Xinyue pursed her lips and did not answer, but walked to the table of the Eight Immortals, put down the pile of unknown grass and sickles in her hand, and then turned around and motioned to Huo Weilou to help her remove the back basket.
The picture is a little weird.
The regent, who has always been majestic and naturally full of nobility, really helped Shen Xinyue take off the back basket behind her so naturally, and walked lightly.
Shen Xinyue, who had relieved herself, was relaxed, poured herself a glass of water, and drank it with a clump before answering Huo Weilou's question, "I went to the mountain to pick herbs." You don't know, I have a great harvest today, look, this is a high-quality detoxification grass that is even more rare than a thousand-year-old ginseng, the name is Blood Green Grass, don't look at its ordinary name, the medicinal effect is many times better than other herbs. ”
Huo Weilou looked in the direction she pointed, it was the unknown handful of grass she was holding in her hand just now, this thing was indeed something he had never seen.
"What's in your coat?" Huo Weilou gestured to her waist.
"Luminous sand." Shen Xinyue had an expression that you knew.
Huo Weilou really regretted that he had asked this too much, and his expression was extremely ugly, but he softened his attitude when he thought that she should have worked so hard to collect medicine to detoxify herself, "You are picking these herbs to detoxify me?" ”
"It depends. Just in case you need it. Shen Xinyue didn't care, anyway, she had nothing else to do, she would be annoyed to death every day when she stayed in this mansion, so she had to do something related to her profession.
The corners of Huo Weilou's mouth twitched fiercely, is it so difficult for you to learn to please this king with other women?
"Let's get down to business. Didn't you ask why it's so lively outside? Shen Xinyue didn't pay attention to Huo Weilou's expression, and began to clean up the herbs in the back basket.
"Why?"
"When I came back just now, I happened to see that it was your old princess who invited a Buddha statue back to rejuvenate the people." Shen Xinyue thought of the grand scene she saw at the door just now, and smiled dumbly.
"A Buddha statue please?" Huo Weilou was indeed a little surprised.
"Yes. I don't know if you don't know, you're not in the house these days, but the house is lively. ”
Shen Xinyue kept busy in his hands, and then raised his head from time to time to look at Huo Weilou's reaction, and saw that he was seriously waiting for his answer, and continued: "It is rumored that some strange things have appeared in the palace one after another in the past few days, which have made those people panic. ”
"Rumored?" Huo Weilou is very obedient.
Shen Xinyue, "Yes! Reportedly. Because I didn't see it with my own eyes, since you entered the palace, I went out every day to collect medicine, and these so-called weird things came back to listen to those people. For example, the koi in the old princess's pond died all at once, for example, the outside of the ancestral hall was crawling with ants, and these ants also posed with the words "disaster star", such as which person on duty in the middle of the night bumped into a cat without a tail, and so on. So they were all scared, and then the old princess invited a Buddha statue to come to the mansion to sit in the town, probably to suppress the evil spirit. ”
"They? Aren't you afraid? Huo Weilou raised his eyebrows.
"What's so scary? It's either a coincidence, or a trick. Shen Xinyue shook her head, in these years, people are scaring themselves, and they have too little scientific knowledge.
"I advise you to be careful, this kind of thing has never happened in the house, and now it has appeared one after another, and there may be some conspiracy behind it."
Although the words didn't sound emotional, Shen Xinyue seemed to see a worried look in Huo Weilou's eyes, and suddenly wanted to tease this cold guy, staring at Huo Weilou with big eyes flickering, and asked in a low voice, "Are you caring about me?" ”
Huo Wei Lou: "......"
This woman is too bold, isn't she shy to say it so bluntly?
"What kind of expression is this? If you care, you admit it. What are you doing staring at me? The more embarrassed Huo Weilou was there, Shen Xinyue didn't let him go here, so angry that Huo Weilou flicked his sleeves and ran out.
Early the next morning.
Lan Qingruo took the maid Zhu'er to the old princess's courtyard as usual to say goodbye.
When the old princess saw Lan Qingruo, she smiled, and couldn't stop praising it: "I'll just say, sure enough, it's the eldest lady who was trained by the Taifu's family, since she entered this palace, she has come to my courtyard every day to ask for peace, and the rules are all there." It's not like the small family has no courtesy, and it hasn't shown up since the last time, and it's something that can't be put on the table. ”
Hearing that the old princess was scolding Shen Xinyue again, Lan Qingruo was happy in her heart, poured a cup of tea, gently handed it into the old princess's hand, and said in a slow voice, "After entering the palace and following Ziyao, Qingruo is the princess's daughter-in-law." The daughter-in-law comes to serve tea to her in-laws every day, which is her duty. This is not only the etiquette that we big families should know, even if it is indispensable for ordinary people's families, otherwise there will be no in-laws in their eyes. ”
The implication is that Shen Xinyue, who is also a daughter-in-law, if you don't come, you just don't take the old princess in your eyes.
What kind of character the old princess is, she can naturally hear the voice, "Hmph, sooner or later, she will know who should be in her eyes and who should not be there." ”
The old princess drank all the tea in the cup, and as soon as the teacup was handed over to the grandmother beside her, a person hurried from outside, looking panicked, and immediately became displeased, "What are you running without rules?" Is there something that's picking you up? ”
The man came and knelt in front of the old princess, his eyes were full of fear, "Yu, report to the princess, today the little one went to the Buddha statue house to clean and clean, and saw that Buddha statue turned out to be ......."
"What's wrong?" The old princess asked impatiently.
The man almost burst into tears, "There are so many blood and tears in the eyes of the Buddha statue!" ”
It's really unheard of, all the subordinates, you look at me, I look at you, and there are frightened expressions on their faces.
"That's weird. Recently, there has been a lot of unrest in this house. Not only have those terrifying incidents happened one after another, but even the Buddha statues invited by the princess today are rarely spared, princess, I think it is better to invite a master to give divination. In case there is any trouble in the house, it is better to know as soon as possible and make arrangements as soon as possible. Lan Qingruo waited for the whispering to stop, and took the initiative to admonish.
Lan Qingruo's expression was natural, but the expression of the maid Zhu'er behind her did not escape the eyes of the old princess, the old princess was sure that this matter was inseparable from Lan Qingruo, and it was good to have her behind her back to do something, but it would be better to get rid of the person she wanted to get rid of.
The old princess then approached Lan Qingruo, "Is the master Qingruo said ten percent sure that this thing will be done?" Get rid of that scourge? ”
The intentions of the villains are also the same, how could Lan Qingruo not hear the words of the old princess, she is not stupid, "Actually, Qingruo doesn't understand these either." It's just that I recently heard the maid Zhu'er talk about a master, and this is what I thought. ”
The maid Zhu'er was very aware of the opportunity, and immediately stepped forward to take over the words, "Back to the old princess, these days, when Zhu'er went out to incense, she met a master in the temple, this master can be described as a vast supernatural power, not only the yin and yang house is good, it is said that it is also very effective in exorcism and spell solving." Many people can't ask for it if they want to. ”
"Okay, then I'll send Mama Li to follow Miss Zhu'er to invite this powerful master to the mansion to do the practice, and clean up the mansion." The old princess signaled to Mama Li, and Mama Li nodded her head to accept the order.
Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Lan Qingruo let out a sigh lightly, and took a sip of the tea in front of him with a calm expression.
The old princess was silent, smiled, and thought to herself that this young lady of the Taifu family is really very shrewd, and she knows everything to pick it up for herself in advance, so as to save yourself from doing stupid things and causing trouble in the future.
The main courtyard of the royal palace.
Shen Xinyue crossed her arms around her chest, watching the people in the house go in and out, busy and happy, and fell into deep thought.
Master please!?
What the hell is this?!
I just invited a Buddha statue yesterday, and there was blood and tears in the eyes of the Buddha statue, and today I will start to invite the master!
It seems that as Huo Weilou said, there may really be some conspiracy behind it.
No, you can't be beaten passively.
Shen Xinyue's eyes rolled and she had an idea in her heart.
Midnight.
Dressed in black, he settled down through the ancestral hall to investigate, and then touched into the courtyard of the old princess, and just walked to the edge of the pool, when he suddenly heard footsteps in the distance, but there was no shelter around the pool......
Shen Xinyue couldn't help but feel rough in her heart, and when she was secretly anxious, she suddenly found that she had risen into the air, and before she could react, she had been directly carried to the beam of the house, and when she looked back, it was none other than Huo Weilou.
