Grind incense

Ever since I promised to marry Huangfu Yanzhang, Huangfu Changying's cousin at the restaurant that afternoon.

The next day Huangfu Changying and I had just finished making pickles when someone from Huangfu's mansion came and said that the old lady was going to invite my hairy grandson-in-law to dinner tonight.

Because the person in Huangfu's mansion first went to Gu's mansion to look for me, but the matter was also known to Mrs. Gu's wife and Gu Zhanqi's mother.

As soon as I got out of the sedan chair, a group of women surrounded me, watching me squeak and laugh while covering my mouth, and after a while, a housekeeper welcomed me into Huangfu's mansion to meet the old lady and her seven daughters. I was a widowed daughter-in-law, so I was arranged to take part in the ceremony. There were a few middle-aged maids serving the table, and I heard that she was also a female chef cooking in the kitchen.

I remember Yanxi once said that because there is only one male left in the Huangfu family, Huangfu Changying, and he has been away for a long time, the Huangfu family has always been led by the old lady Huangfu with seven widows, and the old lady is thoughtful. , in line with the principle of "a lot of gossip at the widow's door", I don't use any male servants, only maids are used, even heavy work such as chopping firewood and cleaning dung is also done by stout maids, so I can enter this place In Huangfu's mansion, it was like entering the Heroine's mansion.

At the banquet, Huangfu Yanzhang avoided it, but Huangfu Yanzhang's mother, the fourth wife, kept looking at me with a smile, but her smile didn't make me feel the slightest kindness, I just felt that her smile was on the surface But in my heart, I couldn't take it out to see if it was green or red.

"All the girls in my Huangfu's family are high-spirited, and they always look down on anyone. Zhan Qi, you have probably heard of it. My sister-in-law, the youngest daughter of the old lady, when she was young, the emperor once thought I tried to accept her as a concubine, but she refused to live and die, so the old matriarch had no choice but to return to the emperor. However, we never thought of letting the girl from my Huangfu family be a child for others. Now that Yanzhang has a crush on you, It's her blessing, and I've told Yanzhang that a girl's eyes are too high, and she can only suffer herself in the end." I heard Huangfu Yanzhang's mother preach, and I felt a little uncomfortable, I always felt that Her words went around and around, but what she really wanted to say was that Huangfu Yanzhang had taken a fancy to me, but I had taken advantage of Huangfu Yanzhang's attention.

Seeing that my expression was not quite right, Huangfu Changying pinched me next to me, I came back to my senses, gave Huangfu old matriarch and the group of widows a silly laugh twice, and echoed: "The fourth lady's words are very reasonable .”

It was also my laughter and echoing words that won the heart of the old matriarch, and the old matriarch said to me: "In the future, after Yanzhang passes through the door, he will be a member of your Gu family. Your Gu family is a scholarly family. We have different doors, and I think that in the future, Yanzhang should follow you. I have been fighting and killing all my life, but I really envy Mrs. Gu, who spends her free time at home embroidering flowers, going to temples to burn incense, and making appointments. People play cards, don’t you think so?”

When the old matriarch gave an order, the seven widows responded one by one.

The banquet was actually quite boring. When Huangfu Changying sent me out, he smiled at me and said, "It seems that my fourth aunt and old grandmother have fallen in love with you."

I frowned and said to Huangfu Changying: "Actually, I regret that I agreed to help you out of panic that afternoon!"

Huangfu Changying patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I can't make this fake come true."

I got into the sedan chair and walked for a while, Huangfu Changying came after me on horseback, stopped in front of the sedan chair and said to me: "I'm leaving tomorrow afternoon, you want to see me off."

I agreed to him before leaving.

When I went back to Gu's mansion, I thought everyone should have fallen asleep at this time, but I didn't want Madam Gu to be waiting for me with the bright lights in the lobby.

Mrs. Gu asked me about the amount of meat and vegetables at the banquet at the Huangfu's family. What did the ladies and the old lady ask, and after thinking about it for a while, she smiled and said to me: "In the past, your father and the Huangfu's family were in court. There was a festival in the past, and I was most afraid that the old lady would make things difficult. I thought of the things that the old lady wanted when the emperor wanted to accept her daughter, tsk tsk, what a star, two or two months, listening to her tone now , it doesn’t look like it will make things difficult for us, so I finally breathed a sigh of relief.”

Madam Gu took out another jewelry box as she spoke, and pointed to the hairpin she told me about. That hairpin was her dowry back then, and tomorrow she will pack it up as a gift for Huangfu Yanzhang. She also wanted to take the peony-patterned cloud brocade from the King's Palace of Thailand as a gift.

In the afternoon of the second day, I accompanied Mrs. Gu to deliver Huangfu Changying and Huangfu Yanzhang. Mrs. Gu took Huangfu Yanzhang, squeezed her hands and looked at her face. She was very satisfied, and whispered to me about the next fifteen days. So I went to burn incense and ask the master to divination for a good day, so that I could marry Huangfu Yanzhang earlier.

I watched Huangfu's cavalry passing by and a wave of yellow dust swayed, and I somehow had a vicious thought in my heart that Huangfu Yanzhang had better die on the battlefield.

Mrs. Gu made her own sedan chair and went back to the mansion. I wandered around alone, and somehow came to Mei Xiaochen's mansion.

Mei Xiaochen was writing in the room, didn't see me, I watched him quietly through a screen, Mei Xiaochen was wearing an ochre-colored underwear, with his sleeves rolled up, bowing his head and waving, he occasionally raised his head to think about what to do When I was writing, I saw that his two beautiful eyebrows were slightly twisted, his eyes didn't know where to gather, and there was a trace of melancholy in his eyes, and he looked more charming than usual.

Mei Xiaochen didn't see me until he finished writing a big picture, and I told him about sending Huangfu Yanzhang, Mei Xiaochen frowned when he heard this, and said with a cold face: "If you know, I won't leave it to you. I also liked that brocade with peony pattern, but I thought you would look good in it, so I deliberately left it for you, who wants you to use it as a favor."

In the middle, we chatted about food and clothing, and for some reason Mei Xiaochen said to me suddenly, "Yesterday, Huangfu Changying told me that I felt a little strange seeing you this time, and felt that you seemed to be a different person. .”

My cheeks turned cold, and then burned uncontrollably, I glanced at Mei Xiaochen and asked, "Then you think I've changed?"

Mei Xiaochen tilted his head and looked at me for a while and said, "Actually, I thought you might not be him in the restaurant that day. I didn't know where I offended him in the past year. He always avoided me. Later, King Tai fell ill. , The opening lectures were also suspended, and I saw him even less, but when I saw you that day, I could tell that you were not him."

Mei Xiaochen's words surprised me, I always thought that I acted very well, even he was fooled.

"Who are you?" Mei Xiaochen walked up to me, stared at me and asked.

"This body belongs to Gu Zhanqi, but his lifespan is over, I'm a ghost who came back." I decided to confess to Mei Xiaochen.

"Oh, I think Zhu Yi's temperament would not be able to say those words that day in the Mucai Pavilion." Mei Xiaochen looked a little disappointed when he spoke.

"Actually, Nianxiang, I like you, I think you know it, from the first time I saw you, I liked you!" I pulled Mei Xiaochen into my arms, and hugged him tightly.

"Oh, is that so?" Mei Xiaochen's breath hit the back of my ear.

"Then, do you like me, Nianxiang?" I looked down into Mei Xiaochen's eyes.

The one who answered me was Mei Xiaochen's shallow kiss. I never thought that I would be the passive one.

"Nianxiang, in fact, I am two years older than Gu Zhanqi, and, uh, I am not as good-looking as Gu Zhanqi, uh, I can't say anymore, oh, nianxiang, oh... "Mei Xiaochen's series of deep and shallow kisses completely aroused the fire in my body.

Mei Xiaochen has a certain ability to seduce people. I don’t know if he was born this way or learned it from someone. In short, I always felt that I was a little passive in the first journey. In this way, I always hate being passive. When I came back, I had another ride with Mei Xiaochen.

The housekeeper of the Mei Mansion brought hot water and put it outside the door. I carried Mei Xiaochen into the bathtub, washed it, wiped it dry and wrapped it in a silk quilt. , he leaned against my shoulder with half-wet long hair, squinting his eyes and kept looking at me, and the fire in my dantian burst out again, and I couldn't hold back for a moment and pushed him down again.

The butler delivered the dinner to the door, and I brought it in, and fed it to Mei Xiaochen mouthful, I called out, "Grind the incense", and he called me back, "Zhuyi", I wanted to be with him but I am not "Zhuyi", but the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.

Nianxiang, have you never asked my name? !

☆, signature language

All in all, in a word, my day was a little weird.

Last night, after returning from Mei Xiaochen's house, I found a key to a cabinet under Gu Zhanqi's bed. After several attempts, I finally opened one of the vermilion wooden cabinets.

Inside the cabinet was pressed thick rice paper, and every page was written in black.

With the help of the yellowish light in the bedroom, I recognized those papers, all of which were the "burning incense" written by Gu Zhanqi I had seen at that time.

I am a bit puzzled, since Gu Zhanqi has the courage to write the densely packed cabinet of "scented incense", why is he still unwilling to express his heartfelt love to Mei Xiaochen? !

I guessed, maybe, what Gu Zhanqi was thinking at the time was that he still had a lot of time, and there would always be a chance to talk about it in the future, but unexpectedly, his lifespan happened to be only one year, and he held back his true feelings In the end, there was no chance to confide in Mei Xiaochen.

This ghost came back with the help of a dead body, and it took advantage of Gu Zhanqi. If it weren't for Gu Zhanqi's help to Mei Xiaochen and his extremely handsome skin, how could this ghost be so easy to get involved? The body of grinding incense.

When I think of Nianxiang, I suddenly think of another question, is the person I love in Nianxiang's heart, me or Gu Zhanqi?

This question puzzled me for a long time, and the "Six Dynasties Strange Records" beside my pillow was also neglected.

After blowing out the lamp, I fell asleep quickly in the dark.

Probably because I was too tired from the several times of grinding incense in the afternoon, this ghost felt that Gu Zhanqi's body was so heavy that he was dragging him to death.

When I crawled out of that body, it was in a dream that I saw a fairy in fluttering white clothes and a veil rising slowly from the ground, standing in front of me, calling my name.

"I'm Fairy Mengmeng from the Naihe Bridge, and I'm here to tell you something: When there's a storm in Longchi, it's hard to meet a nobleman."

Fairy's accent was sharp and piercing, which sounded very familiar to me. After thinking for a while, I asked her with a suppressed smile, "But Miss Meng..."

Fairy Tuomeng shyly took off the veil covering her face. That face was undoubtedly that of Po Meng who she saw on the Naihe Bridge that day.

"How did you get this job?" I asked Granny Meng, even though I knew that her front+convex+back+upturned figure was reconstructed, I couldn't help but take a second look.

"Recently, the interest on the loan from the underworld suddenly increased by two points, so I had to take a few more part-time jobs to earn the repayment of the loan. This time, playing Miss Mengmeng is one of the part-time jobs." Meng Po said.

"Oh, but Miss Meng, I don't quite understand what you said to me just now, can you give me a vernacular version?" I smiled and said to Granny Meng.

"Hey, I'm just a messenger, and I don't understand the meaning of it. In this way, you should write down this sentence carefully. It will be fine if you spend money to ask someone to explain it to you tomorrow. If you have money, you can do things easily." Isn't it?" After saying this, Granny Meng left in a hurry, because she said that she still had more than a dozen dreams to escape to that night, it seems that playing Miss Mengmeng is also quite hard, and being a ghost messenger is not easy.

After Ms. Mengmeng left, I slept until dawn. After getting up, I quickly found a piece of rice paper and wrote down the reminders that Ms. Mengmeng gave me with ink sticks.

I just had dinner and packed up. I planned to go to Mei Xiaochen's house, but before I left, Yanxi said to me from the side: "The master said that the young master has played wildly with Mr. Huangfu these two days. Now Huangfu The young master is gone, the young master must know how to restrain himself, don't let you go wild today, and go to the Thai king's mansion to discuss knowledge with the Thai king."

Taifu Gu issued a strict order, and Yanxi was watching from the sidelines, so I had no choice but to walk towards the Thai Palace, but I deliberately dawdled along the way, looking here and there, thinking that it would be best to arrive at the Thai Palace in time to catch up. When I went to the Thai Palace for dinner, I happened to have a meal.

"Young Master, give me two big ones for dinner. I've been hungry for two days." My eyes were only looking around, but at some point a person crawled under my feet and grabbed my robe, trying to knock me down .

I lowered my head and saw a yellow and thin man stretching out a bony hand towards me.

"Master, don't worry about him, he's probably a liar!" Yanxi whispered in my ear.

"Even if you are really a liar, it would be pitiful to starve yourself like this just to cheat, but whoever has a good means of earning a living would be willing to suffer to do this!"

"Here, let's start a small business with it!" I took out 20 taels of silver from my pocket and handed it to the scrawny hand.

The bone not only held the silver, but also tightly held my hand.

"Young master, I can't ask for your money for nothing!" Cai Se's cheeks sunken, and a pair of bright eyes shot into mine.

"I am a candidate for the imperial examination in Beijing. When I was relaxing outside after the last exam in the imperial examination room, unfortunately my wallet was touched by a thief. The owner of the Longmen Inn deducted my luggage and smoothed out my robe. Rent money, drove Zai Xia to the street." That bone opened his mouth, and the words were gentle.

"Right now, I have nothing but this lottery holder called Tianxianzi passed down from my ancestors, so let me untie a lottery for you as a reward." The bone handed me an old lottery bucket In front of me, I didn't want to refute the meaning of the bone, so I picked a bamboo stick and pulled it out.

This stick is a bit weird, two lines of characters are engraved on the bamboo stick as wide as a thumb.

"Zhao Yan calls the truth, and the false is also true."

There is also an exquisite picture of a lady engraved on the top of the two lines of judgments, and the women on it have perfect features.

I handed the lottery to the bone. He glanced at the lottery, pondered for a while, with a mysterious expression on his face, and asked me in a low voice: "I don't know if the young master wants to ask about the future or the marriage."

I looked at the serious look on that bone face, and thought it was very funny, so I thought I would ask Marriage and see what he could come up with. When a beauty comes out, she will have good luck recently.

So I deliberately put on a serious look on my face, and said in a deep voice, "Just ask about marriage!"

"Oh, ask about marriage." The bone repeated my words and said, "The lottery that the young master draws is the fairy in the painting among the 36 lottery sticks made by Tianxianzi."

"Oh." I deliberately pretended to be interested.

"The young master looks like a scholar. I don't know if I have read the true story of Du Xunhe's "Songchuang Miscellaneous Notes" in the Tang Dynasty." Looking at my puzzled expression, I probably guessed in my heart that I had never heard of it. Du Xunhe wrote this story.

"This true story is about Zhao Yan, a Jinshi of the Tang Dynasty, who was handicapped by a painter, and a woman painted on it was very beautiful. Zhao Yan fell in love with the woman in this painting for 10 minutes, so he asked to paint this painting. I asked the painter if there is a way to revive the woman in the painting, and he is willing to marry her. The painter said that the woman in the painting is named Zhenzhen, as long as you sincerely call her name for a hundred days in front of the painting, she will definitely appear in the painting Respond, after she responds, you need to pour it with Baijiacai ash wine, and she can be revived after drinking Baijiacai ash wine. Later, Zhao Yan really called the real hundred days to the picture of the barrier, At the end of a hundred days, the woman in the painting really responded from the painting. The woman in Zhao Yan's painting opened her mouth and poured Baijiacai ash wine down for her, and the woman moved her lotus steps lightly from the picture just as the painter said. After walking down, talking, laughing and eating are no different from ordinary people. The woman painted on this stick is Zhenzhen." So, the bone told me a story, let alone, this story is no better than the book I read "The Six Dynasties" The difference in Wenlu.

"Oh, how do you explain the meaning of the sign? Zhao Yan's call is true, and the false is also true. Could it be that the painting is true or false?" I couldn't help asking.

"The other half of this Zhenzhen story has not been told to the young master. After walking out of the painting, Zhenzhen in this painting married Zhao Yan and gave birth to a son for him. Their son was two years old. A friend of Zhao Yan heard Zhenzhen's story, and said to Zhao Yan, Zhenzhen must be a demon, and he will definitely try to harm you in the future. I have a magic sword that can kill demons, and I am willing to lend it to you. That night, as soon as Zhao Yan walked to the house with the demon-slaying sword, he saw Zhenzhen standing at the door and said to him, I was originally a land fairy of Nanyue. Today, since the concubine is no longer staying with her, she took her son into the painting. Zhao Yan looked at the handicap painting again. The beautiful woman on it is as usual, but there is only a child next to it." The bone painted the painting again. The second half of Zhongxian's story was told to me.

After telling the story of the fairy in the painting, the bone smiled and asked me: "I don't know if you think this is true or not, or is it true?"

"Of course it's fake. There are real people who can walk down from the painting and then go back." I cleared my throat and said, I am a ghost who has received a modern science education, so don't try to fool me with superstitious tricks to me.

"Then since it's fake, why can Zhenzhen give birth to a son for Zhao Yan?" The bone asked me back.

"Uh, this, maybe that is really true." My mind was a little confused.

"It's true if it's false!" the bone laughed.

"Who is Song Yuansou and Song Huiying?" A group of officials stood on the street and shouted indiscriminately, followed by a band beating gongs and drums.

"Next is Song Yuansou." The bone pushed me and stood up from behind me and said.

The author has something to say: It's such a deserted article, it's good to write it for yourself.

☆、Extra: Tianxianzi 36 lottery

The author has something to say: After updating the article yesterday, I suddenly wanted to write about the 36 sticks in Song Yuansou's stick named "Tianxianzi", so I stayed up half the night and only wrote a dozen incomplete ones.

I wrote this little half and handed it over, in order to hang it in the light, so that I can be shocked every day, and urge myself to complete it earlier.

Of course, enthusiastic netizens are also very welcome to come up with some ideas.

Yesterday's work took 36 women from ghosts, monsters, and fairy tales in legends before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and their marriages were used as judgments.

There are 36 lottery sticks, each of which takes twelve sticks and divides them into the upper, middle and lower three classes, and then takes four of the twelve sticks and then divides them into the upper, middle and lower third classes.

What I'm doing now is to write all the 36 signatures first, and then divide them up, but the first signature on the list is probably the one that is called Chuxiao Yinfeng.
