Chapter 205: Shadow Drawing
Eleven left the capital, left the palace, and left her father, who made her afraid, and her childish side was more and more expressed. 【Chinese Network Debut. 】
When things happen, when Eleven takes out her princess status, she really has a royal demeanor, and she doesn't talk and act like ordinary half-grown children at all.
But by Shuyuan's side, she is now more and more of a child than a princess, so there are more and more headaches for Shuyuan: Eleven is far inferior to ordinary children in some things.
Eleven's eyes widened when she heard Shuyuan's words: "Why are there so many things that good girls shouldn't say?" The father ignores any concubine he doesn't like, and sometimes he gets angry and sends people to the cold palace; My royal sister doesn't like to be with horses, so she will recruit a wide range of visitors......"
Shuyuan coughed a few times: "Anyway, Eleven, those words should not be said, and they should not be done like that; It's not all wrong, if you don't like a colt, you can separate and stop being husband and wife, and you can find another one you like to be a colt, this is okay. ”
Eleven and a half didn't understand: "Yes, what's the difference?" Forget it, let's not talk about it. Sister, you can't think about it, even if you can't think about it, you can't go to see the ancestors of the Jin family, people surnamed Jin won't talk to you. ”
Shuyuan couldn't cry or laugh at what she said, but her mood was inexplicably relaxed, and even that Fang Sheng didn't look at it much of a big deal: just like Eleven said, if Jin Chengye is really not a good person, then she can leave.
If someone in the Jin family wants to harm her, what can she do with her if she leaves? If she wants to find that person, she will look for it, and if she doesn't want to find it, she doesn't have to stay in the Golden Mansion and wait for that person to harm her.
Advance can be attacked, retreated, and defended, what does she have to worry about? Shuyuan stretched out his hand to pinch Eleven's nose: "You deliberately made me happy, didn't you?" "Eleven also has all the shortcomings of a princess, but she is a good child, and her heart is still very pure and kind.
Eleven took Shuyuan's hand: "I don't like my sister like that just now, and it's not good for the baby." I'm the baby's aunt—" She paused at this point, then looked at Shuyuan, "Auntie is still a little farther away, isn't she?" ”
"You say, I'm going to be your baby's godmother, okay?" She's serious, and this time it's definitely not a joke.
Shuyuan looked at Eleven and cried and laughed again: "My aunt is very close, absolutely close, how bad is the title of godmother, isn't it?" She doesn't mind that the child has a princess as a godmother, but Eleven's age is too young, and to be honest, it's almost the same as being a sister.
Eleven thought about it seriously before nodding: "Godmother is really not good, aunt is aunt." She put the matter down and thought of Fang Sheng: "My sister is going to see the ancestor of the Jin family, is it related to Fang Sheng?" ”
Shuyuan pursed his lips and smiled: "You say, is there a place in the Jin Mansion where there is such yellow paper, and it won't be strange to be seen?" ”
Silver needle's eyes lit up: "It's the ...... that enshrines the ancestors"
"Palm, you." Eleven went over and gently pinched the face of the silver needle: "Dare to steal the limelight with the princess, you have to be careful of your head." "She's been threatening the girls so often lately, so Silver Needle won't be really scared, just giggling and coaxing Eleven.
Shuyuan and the others walked all the way to the gate of the courtyard, and Qian was coming out of the upper room, and when he saw Shuyuan, he was a little at a loss.
Eleven didn't know Qian, she was still joking with Yinzhen, and they walked slowly along the way because they played all the way.
"Young grandma." Qian greeted him: "You better go back, don't embarrass the slave maid, if you let the old lady or the master know, the slave maid is afraid that her leg will be broken." ”
After she finished speaking, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed vigorously, touching her forehead to the ground to make a "knock" sound; Even if the place where she kneels is not a green brick but just loess, it will hurt to kowtow so the tamped loess.
Shuyuan was really strange: "How do you say this?" I'm just here to give incense, what's the trouble for you? ”
Qian didn't answer, just kowtowed, and all he asked was Shuyuan to leave quickly.
Eleven didn't care about Qian's self-management and pushed open the door and entered the upper room, and after a while, he came out and turned around the houses in the courtyard, and when he came back, he saw that Qian was still kowtowing, and his forehead was already red and swollen.
"Why are you so troubled, like your young grandmother can't come to this place? There's some secret here—you tell me about it, and we'll leave right away. "She didn't find the yellow paper.
The paper money offered to the ancestors of the Jin family is the kind that has been cut, although it is also Huang's, but it is different from Fang Sheng's paper: the paper of the paper money is very new.
Paper Eleven, who made paper money, was also found, and there were a lot of them in a side room, and there were scissors and baskets next to it, as well as some paper money that had been cut: it should have been cut by Qian.
If you can't find anyone alive, then ask. Eleven asked directly, but it really made Qian stop kowtowing.
Qian raised his head to look at Eleven, a trace of panic flashed on his face, and then hurriedly lowered his head: "Where are there any secrets, you can see the bottom at a glance in this courtyard, the inside and outside of the house are very simple, what secrets can be hidden?" ”
Shuyuan nodded: "She's just joking with you." Since the old lady has spoken, I will go back first, and if I get the old lady's words another day, you won't stop me from putting incense again, right? ”
Eleven didn't find it, and she wouldn't find anything if she looked for it again; Maybe she was wrong—but the panic that flashed across Qian's face showed that there was something else to hide from herself.
Hearing Shuyuan's words, Qian breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed again to thank Shuyuan, respectfully sent Shuyuan out of the courtyard, and bowed down again until he couldn't see Shuyuan and the others before turning back.
I thought that Fang Sheng's paper was from Qian's place, but I didn't find the same paper in the yard, and Qian wouldn't leave the yard - Shuyuan knew that she was wrong, but she became interested in Qian.
Because when Eleven talked about the secret, the Qian family actually panicked: What secrets does a servant have for fear of being known by the master's family?
Yinzhen stepped forward several times as if to say something, but closed his mouth a few times when he opened his mouth and took a step back, and even Eleven couldn't help but look at her: "What's wrong with you, I don't really want your head - your head is very cute, but it's cute when it grows on you, and it will only be scary when it falls." ”
"Nothing." Silver Needle opened her mouth to see that Shuyuan's words came to her mouth and swallowed back.
Shuyuan looked at her with a smile: "I don't think the courage of the silver needle is really small, now it seems that I am wrong." ”
Yinzhen pursed her lips: "Young grandma, I know that there is another place where there should be that kind of paper, but, it's just ......" She opened her mouth when she was provoked by Shuyuan, and swallowed back the words halfway through.
Shuyuan raised an eyebrow: "Where is it?" ”
"It's the second and second lady. Although the old lady does not believe in gods and Buddhas, and the eldest lady and the third lady do not worship the Bodhisattva or anything, but the second lady has been offering the Bodhisattva since the second master had an accident. Silver Needle spoke it out anyway.
As soon as the words came out, they were out of the way, so the more they talked, the more slippery they became, and the silver needle finished the words in one breath: "It's the young grandmother that you forgot a lot of things before you thought of it." ”
Shuyuan blinked when she heard it: "I know, it's just that the second aunt is just three pillars of incense in the morning and evening, where can I use yellow paper?" It's not a practice. ”
The silver needle took a few steps forward: "It turns out that the second lady has done the Dharma, in her courtyard and in the second master's study." Recently, the maid doesn't know when it started, but I heard that it seems that not long after the young grandmother woke up, the second lady also did a ritual. ”
"Recently, the second lady has to do things in the first fifties of the first year - it can't be said to be a ritual, anyway, she has to prepare a lot of things, and she has to burn talismans and set up altars, just hiding it from the old lady."
Shuyuan stopped when he heard this: "Although the older people will give alms to the temple and the Taoist temple, they don't like to get these things very much-no one at home persuades them?" ”
She has some complaints about the Wang family, because the Wang family is now dedicated to protecting the Lu family, so Shuyuan doesn't know how to face her, so she hasn't been to the Wang family recently.
And Wang also knew that what he was doing couldn't help Shuyuan, and he also knew that Shuyuan would inevitably have resentment in his heart, so he didn't come to Shuyuan's side in recent days, and even the supplements she used to prepare for Shuyuan didn't send them again.
Yinzhen sighed: "The eldest lady and the third lady have been persuaded, but the second lady and the two ladies are annoyed, saying that they are their husbands who are not around, and they don't want her to find their husbands, which is too ruthless." ”
The two ladies stopped persuading her, and the second lady didn't come up with anything else anyway, and the maid listened to the people on the eldest lady's side - the eldest lady said that the second lady was just looking for a thought, so let her go, and blame the pitiful."
Shuyuan shook his head when he heard this: "Let's go, let's go see the second lady." Speaking of which, I haven't been to the second aunt's side for some days, and it's right to have time to ask for a peace or something today. ”
If it's not for the yellow paper, she also has to go and see it, and she can't watch Wang fall into it; Gods and ghosts are sometimes really harmful.
Hearing this, Eleven interjected: "Your second lady, when I saw her that day, I wanted to ask, there is a general in your Jin family who died on the battlefield......"
"It's the husband of the second lady." Shuyuan sighed: "But my aunt never thinks that her husband is ......, alas. ”
Eleven "oh" said: "A few days ago, someone was looking for someone to paint a portrait of the general in the capital, and I heard that it was the subordinates who were rescued by him. The Jin family still has good people, and he is still an iron-blooded man. ”
She was ordered to train the troops, although she didn't really pay attention to the training, but she inexplicably had a good impression of the generals, and always felt that they were too different from men to the civilian officials.
Before stepping into the courtyard gate of the Wang family, Shuyuan had already smelled the smell of incense and candles, which was three points stronger than the courtyard dedicated to the ancestors of the Jin family: the Wang family was really too serious, and if she went down again, it would not be sympathetic to her but harmful to her.
