Chapter 009: I Just Saw a Ghost
Aunt Liu thought that she was suddenly sensible when Tao Yaoyao got up and moved her position, but now after watching her eat two plates of meat in just a moment, she realized how wrong she was.
The emotional family ate all the meat in front of the master, so they were willing to move their position.
But she's a woman, is it really good to be able to eat like this?
Syllable!
When Tao Shi'an was about to reprimand her a few more words, Tao Yaoyao put down his chopsticks and stood up, "I'm full, you eat slowly." ”
After speaking, he turned around and left the front hall with Qiu Gui.
"Miss, let's just leave, isn't it good? The master is the most important rule, and now he must be blaming the young lady for not having rules. Although Qiu Gui likes this young lady with clear grievances very much, she is also afraid that she will suffer.
"He, he only allowed the officers and soldiers to set fires, and the people were not allowed to light lamps. I don't care about anything before, but if he wants to pua me in the future, I won't do it. ”
pua? What is that?
"Hurry up, I feel like it's cooling down again, after you go back, you can help me get a basin of water, soak my feet, and feel refreshed."
After nightfall, Tao Yaoyao was sleeping deeply when there was movement at the door, and when she got up, a dagger came in through the crack in the door, and then tried to open the door valve little by little.
Are the guards of the Yong'an Hou Mansion all dead?
It was so easy to let the thieves in.
As he pondered, the bolt of the door was slashed open with a dagger, and then the door was opened from the outside, and a figure walked in.
Tao Yaoyao still maintained the sitting posture just now, but now she had an extra silver needle in her hand, between the curtains, holding her breath and waiting for the thief to approach.
When the thief came in, he saw that there was no movement in the house, and thought that the eldest lady was sleeping deeply and did not notice him at all, so he happily rubbed his hands and his feet were much faster.
However, as he reached for the curtain, a hand rested on his neck, and a familiar voice came to his ears.
"Liu Quan, you are really naughty, you don't sleep at night, are you dressed like this to play a play for Miss Ben?"
"Let Miss Ben think about it, the play from the hating sky is about to enter the women's boudoir......"
Liu Quan saw that his identity was exposed, and he was so frightened that he knelt in front of her on the spot, "The eldest lady spares her life, and the younger one is also forced to be helpless." ”
Liu Quan didn't know why, but when he saw the current Tao Yaoyao, he couldn't help but be afraid, so he said everything without waiting for her to ask.
It turned out that Tao Yanyan couldn't swallow the grievance of kneeling in the ancestral hall, so he asked Liu Quan to scare her.
Liu Quan is a person in the original owner's yard, but because of the original owner's weakness and easy deception, there are few loyal people in her yard over the years.
Liu Quan is one of the traitors.
He said that he was forced to be helpless, but in fact, he was greedy for money and was afraid of taking responsibility after the East Window incident, so he found such a reason for himself.
"How much silver did my good sister give you?" Tao Yaoyao was obviously laughing, but Liu Quan was so frightened that he was covered in cold sweat, "No...... Not much. ”
Tao Yaoyao smiled and stretched out his hand, and Liu Quan unconsciously handed over his purse.
Tao Yaoyao took the purse, reversed the weight inside, and put the purse on the table next to him with a smile.
"How much is your monthly silver per month?"
"It used to be three taels, but now it's one tael."
Since Aunt Zhao took charge, except for the lord and the people in her own yard, the moonsilver has not fallen, and everyone else's has dropped. Everyone was miserable, and there was no way to cry and complain, so they could only find other ways to make money.
"Miss, you just spare the little one this time, the small ones are old and young, they all count on the little ones to live, if the little ones have three long and two short, they won't be able to live."
"I don't want the small silver, I just ask the eldest lady to let the small one go."
"Why don't you make money based on your ability?" Tao Yaoyao came to the window with a smile, opened the window and a cold wind immediately blew in, and the howling north wind blew away her last trace of sleepiness. Looking up again, her eyes were a little more calculating and smiling.
Seeing this, Liu Quan's body trembled even more.
"Miss...... The little one really doesn't want to die......"
"Don't worry, Miss Ben doesn't kill people." She turned around with a smile, and in the moonlight, her sparkling eyes were full of calculation, "You just need to do what you wanted to do to Miss Ben just now, and then go to the ancestral hall to do it to Miss Ben again, if Miss Ben is satisfied, Miss Ben will not be to blame for tonight's affairs."
But if you don't scare the second lady in the end, then ...... The silver stays, you fuck off. ”
The Tao family's errand was only obtained by him after a lot of relationships, even if the current monthly income is not as good as before, it is more than the villagers outside, so he doesn't want to leave.
But scare the second lady......
Aunt Zhao is the housekeeper, if she is discovered by Aunt Zhao......
Liu Quan is a smart man, he only struggled for a moment before making a choice.
"Wait a minute, I'll go with you."
Now that I don't feel sleepy, I might as well go to a play.
Tao family ancestral hall
Tao Yanyan sat on the futon, her head little by little, and after a few times she fell to the ground, and she also woke up, when a gust of wind blew through the window next to her, and the window creaked in the cold wind.
Tao Yanyan didn't want to move, but the howling cold wind made her shiver, and after she couldn't hold it anymore, she could only get up and close the window.
However, the windows of the ancestral hall had not been changed for some years, and it was particularly difficult, so she tried several times before closing the windows.
Just when she was relieved and ready to continue to sit on the futon and sleep, she accidentally looked up and found that there was a person sitting on the futon she had made before.
Yes......
After the piercing scream, Tao Yanyan fainted.
"It's boring."
Tao Yaoyao pulled the hair in front of her behind her and stood up in disgust, "You should know what to do next." ”
"Yes, the little one will definitely take care of this." After speaking, he was afraid that Tao Yaoyao would not believe it, and added, "The small one will definitely not disappoint the eldest lady." ”
There was such a terrible scream from the ancestral hall, and Tao Qianqian, who was closest to the ancestral hall, woke up first, "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to the fourth miss, it seems that something happened to the ancestral hall."
The second sister was punished by her father today for kneeling in the ancestral hall, is it ......
"Give me a change."
At this time, Liu Quan had already come to Aunt Zhao's courtyard, Tao Shi'an was resting here tonight, and after hearing the movement outside, he also got up.
"Master, Aunt Zhao, it's not good, the second lady fainted."
As soon as Aunt Zhao heard that Tao Yanyan had an accident, she turned white with fright on the spot, "Tell me about it quickly, Yanyan is kneeling in the ancestral hall, why did she faint in fright." ”
"The small ones don't know." Liu Quan pretended to be weak and lowered his head, Tao Shi'an saw that something was wrong, and was about to ask him, when Aunt Zhao hurriedly went out, she shouted Tao Yanyan's name while running.
"Mother's careful liver, if you have three long and two short, your mother will not live."
When Aunt Zhao was crying wolf in the ancestral hall with Tao Yanyan in her arms, almost all the masters in the house came over, and Tao Yaoyao sat on the stool next to her, closing her eyes and pretending to sleep.
Tao Qianqian stood next to her, and when she saw this, a strange thought flashed in her eyes.
"Fourth sister, what do you say is wrong with the second sister? It can't be really scared. Tao Yun'er, the third lady of the Tao family, looked at the mother and daughter not far away with disdain, "Every time the second sister kneels in the ancestral hall, she has to make some noise, do you say that there is really such a coincidence in this world?" ”
Tao Qianqian smiled but said nothing.
Seeing this, Tao Yun'er was unhappy, "It's this lukewarm face again, it's really boring, no wonder the second sister doesn't like you." But also, even if you are recognized by your father, you are destined to be different from us. ”
Tao Qianqian's hand hanging down her sleeve clenched quickly and hard, but her face was still calm, as if what Tao Yun'er had just said was not her.
Tao Yaoyao opened his eyes and glanced at the two of them, and then continued to close his eyes and pretend to sleep.
"Okay, don't cry, wake her up first, and ask what is going on, and then you can cry again." Tao Shi'an didn't believe in any ghosts and gods, compared to this statement, he believed that Tao Yanyan just didn't want to kneel in the ancestral hall, so he deliberately made such a fuss.
The subordinate came in with cold water, went down with a basin, and immediately woke up Tao Yanyan from freezing.
"Ghost ...... Mother, there are ghosts......" Tao Yanyan screamed and fainted again.
This time, everyone watched her faint with their own eyes, so those who suspected her of pretending to be a ghost before stopped saying anything, but Tao Shi'an still didn't believe this, "Keep splashing." ”
"Master, you can't splash it anymore, it's ...... weak."
"Stop Aunt Zhao." After Tao Shi'an finished speaking, a guard immediately went over to stop her, and then someone splashed Tao Yanyan with a basin of water, this time Tao Yanyan woke up and saw Aunt Zhao first, so her mood was not as excited as just now.
"Mother, I don't want to kneel in the ancestral hall, you help me beg my father, there is a ghost in the ancestral hall, really, I saw it with my own eyes, that ghost looks the same as me, and even the clothes are the same as mine."
"But didn't you say that my outfit is unique in Kyoto City? So what else could it be but a ghost? ”
When Aunt Liu, who was wronged at dinner, heard this, she said in a strange manner, "Aunt Zhao always said that the money in the house is tight, and we will deduct our monthly money every month, but it is really bloody to buy clothes for the second lady." ”
"Shut up." Aunt Zhao didn't dare to provoke Tao Yaoyao, didn't she dare to provoke Aunt Liu? Seeing her look past, Aunt Liu didn't dare to make a sound.
Aunt Liu stomped her feet unwillingly, and when the afterglow swept over Tao Yaoyao, a flash of calculation flashed in her eyes.
"Don't make any noise, Yanyan, tell me more about what you saw in addition to what you saw just now?"
Tao Yanyan shook his head, "I was stunned when I saw that person who looked the same as me. ”
"Does she really look the same as you?" Tao Shi'an asked again, "Have you seen her appearance clearly?" ”
This time, Tao Yanyan thought for a while before shaking his head, "She was wearing her hair at the time, I didn't see her face clearly, but her sitting posture, her clothes are the same as mine, I can't be wrong, mother, she is a ghost, I just saw a ghost." ”
