Chapter 066: The Deal Is New
Shen Ji took great pains to take Shen Lingxi home, but locked her in the meditation courtyard and ignored her.
The Meditation Monastery was already in the middle of nowhere, and now it is even more deserted.
It's just that I can still vaguely detect the movement outside.
During the day, there are many people, gongs and drums, and babbling singing. At night, the candles in the main courtyard are bright, and the night is about to be illuminated.
The closer we get to the wedding, the more fireworks go off at night.
The house is full of liveliness.
It's as if the filial piety of the ancestors has passed.
But these bustles have nothing to do with the Meditation Temple.
As a prospective bride, Shen Lingxi, except for Qiao Xing, there is not even one more person to serve.
There is only a dumb girl who comes to deliver food every day, and I don't know if I ask three questions.
Shen Lingxi is rarely idle, and he looks leisurely feeding the fish and watering the flowers in the yard.
I also had a lot of leisure to find a piece of red brocade, with golden silk thread, and embroidered a purse with flowers and pedicles.
Qiao Xing was so anxious that she couldn't do it.
"Girl, this is wrong, it's about to be a big day, and the Hou Ye and Mrs. don't let people come to measure and try on your wedding clothes, is it possible to wait for the day before the wedding, go to the Splendid Pavilion to buy ready-to-wear clothes for you to wear? If you wear an ill-fitting wedding dress and marry to the Chengen Mansion, you may be made fun of by your in-laws. This is also the face of our Hou Mansion, when the four girls got married, although they were prepared in a hurry, but only one set of wedding clothes invited seven or eight embroidery girls to embroider for almost a month, and the Hou Ye was really too eccentric. ”
Shen Lingxi smiled silently.
Sometimes, having an eccentric halfway dad isn't all a bad thing.
She spread out the embroidered purse in the setting sun, and the golden and tillian refracted a layer of streamer in the sun, looking lifelike and rich.
"Girl, don't embroider such a gadget, you might as well embroider a hijab."
Qiao Xing looked at her leisurely appearance, and she didn't know what to say, "Otherwise, the slave maid will go out over the wall at night tonight and see what is going on in the house, right?" Or do you write a letter, and the slave slips out of the corner gate to deliver a letter to your aunt-to-be? ”
Do you send a letter?
Shen Lingxi thought about it seriously, "It's okay." ”
She carefully wrapped the embroidered purse in a bright red brocade and handed it to Qiao Xing, "You help me send this purse to Hanxiangyuan and let people hand it over to the fourth sister, and the fourth sister will understand." After sending it off, go back to your mother for a few days, and don't care what you hear, and come back to me when I look for you." ”
"However, the day after tomorrow is the day of your wedding, if the slave and maid are not by your side, you will not even have someone to rely on on on the wedding day......"
Qiao Xing seemed to think of something, and her face changed slightly, "Did the girl find something?" ”
The more she thought about it, the more wrong she became, and she was anxious, "It's better to let the slave stay by your side, in case something happens, the slave and maid can also give you a hand." ”
"On a happy day, nothing will happen, you have to be lucky, right?" Shen Lingxi smiled and said, "If you send this purse to the fourth sister, you will help me." I have my own arrangements for the rest. ”
Qiao Xing saw that her expression was indifferent, and she relaxed slightly.
Haosheng accepted the purse, and after the night, quietly climbed over the wall and left.

Late at night, in the huge courtyard, only Shen Lingxi was left.
The night breeze is blowing, and the moon is hanging high.
There was nothing left and right, Shen Lingxi set up the tea table outside the door again, took out the reincarnation lamp, and hung it under the porch.
The lotus crown at the top of the reincarnation lamp began to rotate when it was heated, and the silver bell on the silk banner also made a pleasant sound of "jingle bell".
After two tea times, the green bamboo on the wall suddenly rustled.
There was a cool wind, blowing from nowhere, causing the flower crown on the reincarnation lamp to turn faster and faster.
"Meow...... Meow ......"
There were a few cat calls outside the wall, which surprised Shen Lingxi.
She put down the teacup, turned her head to follow the sound, and saw a snow-white cat, walking gracefully through the wall and walking towards her.
"You were summoned by this reincarnation lamp?" Shen Lingxi pointed to the reincarnation lamp above his head and asked in surprise.
"Meow...... Meow ......"
As if in response to her question, the cat meowed twice, walked to the porch, jumped on the tea table, raised its head high, and looked at her arrogantly and nobly.
Reflecting the candle flame of the reincarnation lamp, Shen Lingxi saw clearly that this was an adult lion cat with a snow-white body, only the forehead was on the left, and there was a little black fur the size of a finger's belly, like light ink accidentally dripped on it, making it look fierce and fierce.
It has a pair of glass-like mandarin duck eyes, yellow on the left and blue on the right, it should have been carefully cared for before its death, its fur is shiny and smooth, and it has a collar made of golden silk around its neck, and two tassels like red tassels hanging from it.
Shen Lingxi looked at it carefully, there were no external injuries on the soul body, and there were no traces of blood, so he couldn't see how he died for a while.
Although everything has a spirit, she has also seen the souls of animals that hovered beside their masters after they died, and they were reluctant to leave.
However, the one who was summoned by the reincarnation lamp was the first one in front of him.
Since he was summoned by the reincarnation lamp, he must have a grudge in his heart, and he should not have been buried by someone.
People and cats have different paths, she can't understand cat language, how to bury it and fulfill her wish?
"You want me to do something for you?" Shen Lingxi asked.
"Meow...... Meow...... "It screamed twice, as if it could really understand her.
Shen Lingxi smiled, "My rules, if you want me to do things, you have to pay me, what can you give me?" ”
The cat tilted its head and looked at her with a pair of eyes, as if it was thinking about it seriously.
Then, he rolled on the tea table and cried sweetly, "Meow......
Shen Lingxi: ...... Where's your coldness?
"That's not going to work." She straightened her face and refused, "I never do day jobs for people, and I can't sell cuteness." ”
"Meow."
It rolled two more times in a row, and rubbed its plush face against Shen Lingxi's hand, the pair of glass-like mandarin duck eyes, Baba looked at Shen Lingxi's eyes, revealing a pitiful expression.
Such a contrast made Shen Lingxi laugh out loud, and subconsciously reached out to scratch its chin.
But the fingertips passed through its soul.
Only then did I remember that it was already a dead soul, and a little sadness rose in my heart.
"Well, I promise you." Shen Lingxi said softly: "When I finish taking care of the current matter, I will go to bury you for you, okay?" ”
"Meow, meow." The cat rolled happily, jumped into her arms, and rubbed it affectionately, completely without the cold and arrogant attitude of the first time they met.
Then, after a few moments, he ran into the room and found a place to sleep......

On the other side, Qiao Xing climbed over the wall and came out of the Jingsi Courtyard, and before she had walked a few steps, she was pressed to the ground by the guards of the Hou Mansion hidden in the shadows and tied up.
The guards sent Qiao Xing directly to Mrs. An's Qingqiu Courtyard.
Although it was late at night, the candles in the Qingqiu courtyard were bright.
In the upper room, Mrs. An was counting the congratulatory lists sent by various families in the past few days.
On the table next to her, there was a jewel full of gold, silver, and jade.
Shen Ji sat on the top and drank tea leisurely.
The loving gaze fell on the daughter who had just come out of the bedroom and was wearing a new wedding dress......
The breed of the cat is the Linqing lion cat, and the appearance refers to the "Cat Bamboo Picture" by Shen Zhenlin in the Qing Dynasty, and the photo of the lion cat in the Forbidden City.
