006 Suspect
Every day near noon, a group of girls come out of the two-storey house in the West Courtyard to play in Xinyuan. They seem to be about the same age as Cheng Xueyao, as fresh and tender as green onions, and all kinds of dresses flutter in action, crushing the delicate spring flowers in the garden. The beads on the temples reflect the brilliance of the sun and sting the eyes from time to time.
They all have bright eyes and smiles. When I first entered the park, it was quite quiet, and it was lively for a while. At this time, I heard a relatively harsh voice, so I calmed down, but it was whispered with laughter.
However, after about half a column of incense, they will neatly leave Xinyuan and return to the big house in the west courtyard, leaving their daughter's fragrance in the slightly hot air.
Who are they? And what she is most concerned about is what dynasty is now? And through her clothes, she could only be sure that this was not the Yuan Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty.
In hell, the "Dijing" in Cheng Xueyan's mouth should be just a place name, and with the momentum of this name, it can be roughly judged that it should be the national capital. Since I have to stay here, I should know more, but who should I ask? Bitong? It's awkward to think of her strange eyes. Maybe you can find that man... The man in white robe appeared in front of him again, but who is he? She has never seen him since that night. Every time I leaned against the railing, I couldn't help looking at the southeast courtyard.
There were only two stone piers silent beside the stone table we met that night. But sometimes I accidentally heard the sound of the flute in my dream, and it disappeared when I woke up. Is he really a fairy who can fly? Although she is a materialist, since she crossed into the hell and crossed over to the ancients, she has been completely defeated inexplicably.
The group of women had begun to walk out of Xinyuan, so she had to play with the emerald bracelet on her wrist boredly, but she only raised her ears in a while.
Everyone has left, why is there still a voice?
The voice came from the forest on the east side. The green blurred the two figures of blue and one yellow. One of the voices was Bitong, and they seemed to have been chatting for a long time.
"...what else can I do? As usual, but..."
"But what?"
"I think it's a little strange." Bitong opened her mouth hesitantly.
Strange? Yan Ran's ears trembled.
"Why is it strange? That day, my wife ordered me to visit, and the eldest girl was in good spirits..."
Yan Ran remembered that there was indeed a little girl named You Cui who came to see herself the day before yesterday, but it was just "look", and the condescending expression seemed to have been expanded from his wife's face.
"It's strange that it's 'very good'," Bitong said: "At the beginning, she..."
Bitong did not call 'girl' but used 'she' instead to make Yan Ran very angry. She found that Cheng Xueyan seemed to be very unpopular in Chengfu. No wonder she always looked sad, and no wonder she still couldn't think about it...
"At the beginning, she hung the beam and lost her breath when she was rescued. You can also see that it was half a column of incense. Even her body was hard, but how did she come back to life?"
"Yes, we also think it's strange. We all want to know what's going on. If it hadn't been for the strict prohibition of the master and his wife, I'm afraid that people in the imperial capital would have to know, but this good thing won't go out..."
"And she jumped happily as soon as she came back to life. How can this be like a dead person?"
"Yes, I remember that when she looked good, she was dead all day and cried all the time."
"Now it's okay. When I received the divorce book, I cried to death, and then I was hanged, but when I woke up, I seemed to forget this stubble. I was so happy that I couldn't look left and right in the mirror..."
"Will it be..."
The voice was already low enough, and You Cui said something with her voice again, so that Yan Ran only heard Bi Tong roaring: "Impossible, I can guarantee this!"
"Do you promise?" You Cui's voice was full of contempt: "Didn't that happen under your nose last time? Her person, who is usually silent, can make such a big noise. I think it's hard to say about this today..."
"Well, don't mention that, okay? I also grew up with her, and I can't be more familiar with her every move. Do you think it can be..." Bitong also lowered her voice.
"Ah?" This time it was You Cui's turn to scream: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Why is it nonsense? I still remember that before I entered the house, when I was only seven years old, something strange happened to our Yang family in the East Village. The old lady of the Yang family lived 80 years and died. According to the custom, she had to stop the spirit for three days before she could be buried, but on the third night, there was a sudden sound of knocking in the coffin, which scared the spirit guard half to death. Her eldest son was so bold that he insisted on opening the coffin. Think about what a taboo it is? As a result, the coffin was opened, and the old lady sat straight up from inside and said, 'I'm hungry'. Everyone was frightened and hurriedly cooked for her like a fairy. She ate three bowls in one go and was about to leave. Everyone hurriedly stopped, but she said that she was not this person at all. Not only that, she didn't even know her son. Everyone only thought she was confused and persuaded her not to leave. Fortunately, she punched and kicked everyone, and said that she was a bandit who had been beheaded. She even said her name clearly. If everyone dared to stop them, she would kill them. Then one of them suddenly screamed and said that one day, several robbers in the market were indeed beheaded, and the leading one was called this name. Everyone didn't dare to stop her anymore, and she swaggered..."
"Ah, what happened later?"
"As soon as she left, her son went to the government, and 80 officers and soldiers were sent out to catch the old lady back. I went to a master to see it again, saying that he borrowed the corpse to return the soul..."
"And then?"
"Then he tied it to the demon pillar of the altar in the west of the village, covered with rune paper, and poured branches with turpentine and burned them at noon. The master said that the robber's resentment was too heavy. If he didn't refine his soul, I'm afraid he would have to send it to others..."
"You mean..."
Yan Ran obviously felt two pairs of eyes shooting at her side. She hurriedly hid back, but her ears were still alert.
"Don't scare me." You Cui unconsciously rubbed her arms and kept looking back.
The sun was shining at noon, but she felt cold on her back.
"How can I scare you? I watch her day and night. Aren't I afraid? I thought I thought too much, but this morning I held the hydrangea to her, and the hydrangea screamed and hid. As you know, hydrangea was raised by her since she was a child. After she married the Gu family, she returned to the third girl. But the dog is the most owner, but it's only three years. How can it be... Besides, when she came back a month ago, the hydrangea was still very close to her. Why did it suddenly become like this? You know, the dog is spiritual. At that time, it barked so miserably, as if it had seen a ghost. I was so scared that I quickly took it away, and I still dare not go back to the house..."
"Then you can't stay outside all the time. The meal will be delivered at noon. You have to send it there, right? Since this matter has become serious, it's better to tell the master and his wife. If it's really a ghost, they will deal with it. At that time, you don't have to be angry with her everywhere. Even if you follow the second girl, it's better than her..."
"But the meal is coming soon... Can you accompany me?" Bitong shook Youcui's hand pitifully.
How can I do it? Madam also wants me to serve..."
"There is pity for them..."
"I am..."
You Cui was about to emphasize her important position beside his wife. A child came from the moon gate and shouted softly inside, "Is Sister Youcui there? Madam wants you to go there."
She hurriedly broke away from Bitong's hand and walked quickly to the moon gate.
Bitong stood with her mouth pouted for a while and saw that there were more people shuttling through the corridor. They were either carrying red lacquered food boxes or red sandalwood food cases, so she had to walk to the kitchen. While walking, she complains, and it's not as good as my wife. Sheman, the second girl, and Xue Yao, the third girl, have special little girls to pass on meals, but now she is only one here and outside. She has served in Chengfu for ten years. In terms of qualifications, ability, strength and talent, she is no worse than You Cui. Although she is classified as a first-class maid, she received the second-class girl's monthly money. Isn't it because of this master? So I hope she is really a ghost. Chengfu will not tolerate her at that time, and she will just change her place, preferably...
Bitong left here full of complaints, and Yan Ran was sweating coldly.
What? Do you want to tie her to the pillar... and burn it? Although it is possible to return to hell and die naturally, the process is too terrible! What should I do? What should I do?
Escape? I'm afraid she fainted before waiting for the gate. In her previous life, she was a road blind, but in this life, she was "reincarnated" from the balcony...
She was turning around anxiously in the room, and she heard a moment's footsteps stopping at the door.
She looked at the door for a long time. When she saw the bamboo curtain lifted, Bitong came in with a watchful and reluctant face.
No matter how unpopular Cheng Xueyan is, the decorations, clothing, jewelry and food in this room have never been harsh to her. The table is a plate of tender bamboo shoots soaked in bacon sauce, a plate of dragon beard vegetables, a bowl of vegetable soup and a vegetarian assorted, plus a plate of rose sauce snacks, which are the same as other girls. Considering that she has just recovered from a serious illness, her staple food will be changed to Yutian fragrant rice porridge, and later there will be ginseng soup, but how can she be so energetic that she can nourish ginseng soup?
In the past, Yan Ran couldn't help admiring that these exquisite dishes were pure green food and then moved his index finger, but after listening to the dialogue between Bitong and You Cui today, Cheng Xueyan's graceful figure was not eaten by Haisai. Besides, the daughter of the minister of the Ministry of Ceremonies is a pure lady, and her hands and feet are regulated. Her appearance may be elegant in modern times, but she is rude in ancient times.
So she looked at the appetizing food, gently locked her eyebrows, and strictly required herself according to Lin Daiyu's standards. Moreover, she really had no appetite and wanted to burn her. Can she not get angry?
