Chapter 17 I Meant It
It was a little cold in the living room.
Chang Wei unconsciously sat up straight.
Xiao Yunzhan subconsciously moved closer to Cao Ren's side.
Cao Ren only felt a little funny in the weirdness.
"Three ghost babies?" Xu Yanzhi's relaxed expression suddenly became a little more solemn.
"That's right, three, it looks like it's between a month and two years old. Du Lan nodded, glanced at Chang Wei, raised his voice a little and said: "I just said that this evil is from outside, and it is impossible to have anything to do with my family Ling'er, someone wants to harm my Du family." ”
Chang Wei was thoughtful, and hurriedly echoed: "Yes, Ling'er is everyone's best girl, so naturally she can't do such things." ”
Xu Yanzhi then asked, "After you arrived, did those three ghost babies hurt anyone?"
Cao Ren put down the teacup and looked at Du Lan.
"It didn't hurt anyone, but they seemed to be playing tricks on us, flying around in the yard, crying and laughing, elusive, and so infiltrating that everyone fled for their lives. Du Lan sighed, and said with a little luck: "Fortunately, Jia Ding Laifu was resourceful and found a handful of calamus leaves to wave them away, so as to drive the three ghost babies away." That night, the whole Du Mansion had insomnia. ”
In this way, these three ghost babies are not very angry, and they do not hurt anyone. A mere family can use calamus leaves to drive away, which shows that the ghost baby is not deep. Xu Yanzhi was thoughtful, and his face reappeared with confidence.
Cao Ren frowned slightly, but he didn't say much.
Du Lan continued: "In the next three days, the ghosts of those three ghost babies will not be gone, and they will appear in Ling'er's courtyard every day to play and play, or wail non-stop, even if Ling'er changes to other residences, they can always find it, exhausting the Du Mansion. In just these two days, most of the housekeepers and maids have run away, and the rest are all loyal servants. If you don't come again, you really won't be able to hold on. ”
"Master Du, rest assured, I came here today to kill demons and demons, and I will definitely kill the evil spirits and restore the peace of Du Mansion. Xu Yanyi slapped the coffee table, and his voice was like a flood.
"Then it's all up to Xu Daochang. Du Lan looked at him with hopeful eyes.
"Where is Miss Du now? Can you take me to meet her and see if she is contaminated with something evil before she will be entangled by the ghost baby. Xu Yanzhi got up.
"Yes, I also wanted to go to see Sister Ling'er and comfort her. Chang Wei got up and agreed, a little nervous in anticipation.
"This ......" Du Lan hesitated, after all, she was a girl who had not left the cabinet, and even Chang Wei had not seen his daughter for more than ten years.
"Master Du, what Xu Daochang said is right, Miss Du has provoked evil spirits, if you don't even see people, how can you find the source of evil spirits, how can you completely eradicate them? Not only do you want to see Miss Du, but you also have to investigate around the house. Cao Ren echoed with a smile.
When Du Lan heard this, he didn't dare to shirk it anymore, and nodded hurriedly: "Okay, all the immortal elders, please come with me." ”
......
The back house, in an exquisite annex.
A twenty-eight girl wearing a white fox fur, holding her cheeks, sat in front of the boudoir window in a daze, her face was thin, her eye sockets were deep-set, and there were two dark circles under her eyes, and she yawned from time to time, looking very sleepy.
A maid was helping her comb her hair, yawning as well.
"Okay, just pull your hair in a bun, anyway, you don't go out to see people, and your head is more comfortable. The girl said with some irritation.
"Miss, my uncle is here!" At this time, a green-clothed maid walked into the door quickly, with a happy look on her face: "There are also three immortal masters who are driving away evil spirits, and they are coming to the backyard." ”
"What uncle, I haven't left the cabinet yet!" Du Chuling had a little anger on his face, "Didn't their Chang family say that I had a bad reputation and wanted to withdraw from the marriage?
The maid hurriedly smiled and said cautiously: "Maybe Chang Gongzi believes in Miss, so he personally brought the immortal master here." After all, you and he have been married since childhood, and now that the wedding date is approaching, how can you withdraw from the marriage because of some rumors. ”
When Du Chuling heard this, the anger on his face eased a little, and then he asked, "Have you seen his appearance?"
The maid pondered for a moment: "Chang Gongzi is extraordinary, and Kong Wu is powerful. ”
"Whoever saw him, just these two words over and over again, it seems that he looks average, and it is not easy to say clearly. Du Chuling sneered.
The green-clothed maid opened her mouth, and it was difficult to answer.
"Miss, I'll change your clothes, apply some rouge gouache, wear some hair accessories, and look better, after all, it's the first time I've seen Chang Gongzi." The maid who combed her hair suddenly sobered up a lot, looked at Du Chuling and said.
"The Chang family sent someone to humiliate me the day before yesterday, and today Chang Wei pretended to bring people to get rid of the demon, most likely to verify the truth of the news that I stole people. Du Chuling pouted: "Women are the ones who please themselves, I have been tossed like this, and I still have to dress up to see him? Let him see my down-and-out appearance, it is good to quit this marriage, my Du family can't afford to support me." ”
The two maids knew their young lady's temper, and they didn't dare to say more.
"Where's Laifu?" Du Chuling asked suddenly.
"I'm guarding outside the courtyard. The green-clothed maid said, "When I came here before, I saw him holding a handful of calamus leaves, huddled at the gate of the courtyard and taking a nap. ”
When Du Chuling heard this, his face showed a little apology, he got up and took off the fox fur on his body, handed it to the maid and said: "You take this fox fur and cover him, it is all up to him to guard the yard for the past few days, so that we can sleep peacefully for a while, and the other family members are far away." ”
"Yes. The maid agreed, and went out with the fox fur.
"Okay, don't comb it, just spread it like that. Du Chuling tore off her half-combed bun, and her green silk was scattered, matched with her pale face, eye-catching dark circles, and then made a grimace, and she was a crazy woman.
Du Chuling looked at his appearance in the bronze mirror and chuckled.
The maid who combed her hair wanted to speak and stopped, looking helpless.
Outside the courtyard, Du Lan led everyone to the other garden, and happened to bump into the green-clothed maid who was napping in the corner of the courtyard gate.
"What are you doing here?" Du Lan frowned and said, this fox fur was just customized for Du Chuling this year, and it was given to a family Ding Gai, what kind of system.
"Sir. The green-clothed maid hurriedly stood up straight and explained, "Laifu kept watch in the yard all night last night, and was so tired that he fell asleep at the door. ”
"Ling'er has a good heart. Du Lan's brows spread, this was for Chang Wei.
The conversation between the two woke up the napping family, he raised his head sleepily, and hurriedly got up after seeing Du Lan and the others, and said respectfully: "Master, you are here." ”
"Laifu, you've worked hard these nights, go back and rest. Du Lan patted him on the shoulder and said kindly: "Now that Daochang Xu and the two immortal masters are here, they will definitely be able to get rid of that evil spirit tonight, and they won't have to guard it in the future." ”
"Ah...... That's great. Lai Fuhan smiled, glanced at Cao Ren and the others, and his expression became more and more respectful: "I have seen all the immortal masters." ”
Cao Ren also looked at this loyal and fearless familyman, who looked to be in his early twenties, dressed in a blue coarse cloth short, of medium stature, with a good and honest appearance, holding a handful of sun-dried calamus leaves in his arms, and wearing the high-quality fox fur on his body, and was about to retire after saying hello.
"Laifu, the ghost baby will only appear at night, and now it's almost noon, what are you still doing here?" Cao Ren asked casually.
Laifu paused, and a little honest smile appeared on his face: "Miss has been scared a lot these days, I want to guard the door for a while during the day, so that she can sleep peacefully." ”
"Oh...... Then you are a loyal servant. Cao Ren nodded, reached out and pulled out a calamus from his arms, "You dare to exorcise ghosts with this thing, your courage is really not small." ”
Laifu patted his chest and said: "I'm not afraid of fairy jokes, my nickname in my hometown is 'Come Bold', I have been bold since I was a child, and I am famous for not being afraid of ghosts, and I dare to fall asleep on the grave of the mass grave." The lord and the young lady treat me well, and I definitely can't back down at this time. ”
Cao Ren stared at him with a smile: "I think you are bold, it is indeed not small." ”
Laifu lowered his eyes and didn't look at Cao Ren, as if he had just discovered the fox fur on his body, and hurriedly tore off the green-clothed maid who handed it to the side, and arched his hand: "Then Laifu will retire first, thank you Miss Master." ”
"Go, go, go. Du Lan waved his hand and said to the maid: "Go and talk to the young lady, I will bring Chang Weixian's nephew and the three immortal elders to exorcise evil spirits for her, let her come out to meet guests, be decent." ”
"Yes, sir. The green-clothed maid walked quickly into the door with the fox fur in her arms.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please come in, this is the villa where the little girl lives. Du Lan led everyone into the courtyard.
Chang Wei straightened the robe on his body, straightened the hosta on his head, opened the jade fan in his hand and fanned it, and felt that the wind was blowing a little cold, so he smiled and put it away, looking at the door where the maid entered with some nervousness and expectation.
"The yin qi in this courtyard is strong, and the day does not disperse, it is indeed a ghost, and it is quite Taoist. Xu Yanzhi turned his hand and took out a golden disc, and there was a pointer that rotated drippingly, and as he walked around the courtyard, the speed of rotation was fast and slow, and he could not calm down.
"What is he?" Cao Ren asked curiously.
"The Yin Qi Compass is generally used to determine where ghosts are hiding, but he is too low-level, and he can only roughly judge which position has heavier Yin Qi. Xiao Yunzhan explained.
"Do you have a better one?"
"I was in too much of a hurry to go out this time, I forgot to bring it, and I will bring it out for you to play next time I go home." ”
"Good brother. ”
Cao Ren and Xiao Yunzhan were also looking at the courtyard quietly, the yin qi was indeed a bit heavy, and it made people feel uncomfortable when they entered the courtyard, but they still had to see Miss Du for a while to know the reason why the ghost baby had been following her.
......
"Decent, heh, my Du Chuling's dignity is for decent people, he is not worthy of Chang Wei!" Du Chuling listened to the maid's words, pouted, and said: "I will hang myself here today, and I will definitely not dress up for Chang Wei!"
"Miss, are you going to go out to meet people like this?" the maid looked melancholy.
"That's right, that's all. ”
