Dressed as an actor in the Qing Dynasty

The Shang Mansion occupies a very large area, and there are three courtyards in the middle, east, and west, which surround each other in a circle. Behind the mansion is the back garden of the Shang Mansion.

The courtyard is surrounded by mountains and water, with many strange rocks and thousands of corridors, showing mountains and dew everywhere.Green vines, glazed tiles, red winter plums, carved porches, flying bridges, and white jade bridges across the banks, it seems like a whole river and mountain scenery.

Su Bao'er was already sweating profusely after practicing martial arts. In such a severe cold weather, she didn't feel cold, but her whole body was hot.

Even so, he didn't dare to delay any longer, and immediately went back to the house and took a hot bath.

After changing into clean clothes, she came out and saw the servant girl Jin'er. This Jin'er is a kitchen girl with a pair of skillful hands. Don't be ashamed.

"Why did today end so early? At first I thought I had to wait at the door again."

Jin'er is two years older than Su Baoer, she is in her [-]th year now, she was born with a lively face, she usually smiles and greets people cleverly, so many servants in this house are vying to be nice to her.

Su Baoer looked left and right, and leaned into Jin'er's ear and said, "The face paralyzed son followed the master to the Crane Tower for a drink."

Jin'er giggled until the flowers trembled, and poked him with her finger, "Once someone listened carefully, I'll put the second young master in front of you and sue you, and see if the second young master will not expose your skin."

Su Baoer was not afraid, she lowered her head and took the snacks in the basket, grinning and said, "I'm leaving the house tomorrow, do you have anything you want?"

Jin'er pointed to his chin in thought, "I heard that there is a rouge shop in the south of the city."

Su Baoer laughed loudly, turned her head and wrinkled her nose at Jiner, "Your daughter's family likes these."

There are many rules in this mansion, and Jin'er doesn't want to stay too long, so he joked with Su Baoer a few more times, and then returned with a basket.

Jin'er didn't finish the snacks sent by him, so Su Baoer deliberately left a few pieces, wrapped them in a handkerchief, put them in his bosom, and prepared to send them to Baiming.

Bai Ming doesn't have any close people in the mansion. I heard from the servants in the mansion that Bai Ming was originally from Zhibei Le's mansion. Master Shang once brought Shang Chengjun to his mansion for a banquet. Shang Chengjun praised Bai Ming. After a few words of tea, Zhibei Le rewarded him with white tea.

Bai Ming now became Shang Chengjun's personal servant.

The Shang mansion is not an ordinary family, and there are many people in the mansion. When there are too many people, they naturally like to gossip. Su Baoer usually gets close to them, and has heard a lot of gossip. The reincarnation of the fox spirit, seduction for favor, all kinds of gossip, Su Baoer was not familiar with Bai Ming before, so he didn't comment on it, what they said had nothing to do with him.

However, although the West Wing courtyard is big, it is not too big after all. Su Bao'er has to stroll around every day after practicing martial arts, so that she can often see Baiming with her head bowed and shuttling between the corridors and paths, and she will become familiar with it once she comes and goes.

After several months of working together, Su Baoer discovered that Baiming was not as miserable as others said. On the contrary, this young man who was three years older than him but far weaker than he imagined was easy to get along with. If you treat him better, he will be happy. Being able to take out my heart to you makes people feel pity.

With her hands in her sleeves, Su Baoer wandered around Shang Chengjun's room with her head tucked down.

Strange, if it was a weekday, Baiming would be serving in Shang Chengjun's room, or even if he wasn't in Shang Chengjun's room, he would be boiling soup in the side room.

Pulling up the collar and guarding for a while, but there was still no one there, Su Baoer stomped his frozen feet, rubbed his face a few times, and said to himself, "Don't go back to your own room."

Since Bai Ming is Shang Chengjun's personal servant, naturally he doesn't have to share a room with other servants.He has his own room in the corner of the West Wing Courtyard. Although it is a bit remote, it is quiet and undisturbed.

It wasn't the first time Su Baoer came to Baiming's house. When he was free before, he would sneak over to play with Baiming.

A few days ago, I could still hear the crickets in the White Tea House, but now I can't hear them very much.He caught that cricket and gave it to Bai Ming. It has a green gold head, a big fat neck, long shanks and a wide back. Cheng Jun's concubine's beloved cat pulled out three whiskers to become a cricket spy, and the cat scratched three bloody ridges on the back of his hand, which took a lot of thought.

At first, he was reluctant, but when he gave it to Bai Ming, Bai Ming smiled so sweetly at him, which made him happy for half a month, and it was worth it.

"White Tea?" Su Baoer lowered her voice even though she knew there would be no one around, as if she was afraid of startling the people in the room.

There was no one answering in the room, and the door of the room was closed tightly. Su Baoer called a few more times, but there was still no movement. She was about to turn around dejectedly, when a thin moan came from the room, as thin as a cat's whiskers. Discrimination is actually full of pain.

Su Baoer was taken aback for a moment, and without caring about anything else, she slammed into the door and went in, "Bai Ming."

Immediately, Su Baoer was startled by the thick blood rushing towards his face in the room, and looking again, there was a person lying on the wooden bed in the corner, his hair was wet with sweat and stuck to his face messily, his appearance seemed to be lifeless .

Su Baoer stepped to the front of the bed in two steps, lifted the quilt, and took a deep breath.

In the upper and inner rooms of the West Temple Building, the room is now full of blood.

Hua Jingzhao, who has never been serious, is also frowning now, sitting in a chair without making a sound.

Su Bao'er was holding a heart, sitting on the chair in a daze, Xu Shi had just ran all the way through the snow with someone on his back, exhausted his strength, and now his face was as white as a ghost, without a trace of blood.

Hua Jingzhao poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him. Su Baoer was stunned for a long time before he realized that he didn't care about burning his mouth when he picked it up. .

After half an incense stick, there was a sound behind the screen, and the doctor came out with the medicine box.

"Doctor, what's the matter, huh? Baiming, Baiming..." Su Baoer's tongue was already tied up, and she couldn't speak a complete sentence.

Hua Jingzhao patted him on the shoulder, turned around and said to the doctor, "Let's go out and talk."

"Sorry."

The doctor dropped the old voice, shook his head and went out, leaving only Su Bao'er with a heavy heart.

"Except..." Hua Jingzhao glanced at Su Baoer, saw him staring at him unblinkingly, considered his words, and continued, "In addition to the injuries on his body, he also injured the root of his tongue, so he might not be able to speak in the future. "

"How could it be?" Su Baoer swallowed, tried hard to swallow Hua Jingzhao's words, and then sat down on the chair again, "How could it be."

"Bite it yourself." Hua Jingzhao sighed, and took the teacup, "Is he from the Shang government?"

"Shang Chengjun's servant." Su Baoer replied blankly.

Hua Jingzhao paused while drinking tea, then turned to look at Su Baoer, "You mean...Shang Chengjun?"

"Heh." Hua Jingzhao hooked the corner of his mouth inexplicably, picked up the tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Get out!" Shang Chengjun swept away the teapots, cups and saucers on the table, "A bunch of useless things, where is the white tea? What about the little bitch? Reverse, hmph, all of them are reversed!"

No one dared to clean up the broken teacups all over the floor, and several servants and maidservants knelt on the ground and kept silent.

Shang Chengjun was dressed in obscene clothes, standing barefoot among the broken porcelain slag, he laughed out of anger, the maid kneeling on the ground was so timid that she cried out of shape.

"You." Shang Chengjun picked the chin of a little maid, and said softly, "The young master took you into the house, okay?"

The little maid suddenly turned pale, and shook her head recklessly, with tears and snot running down her face.

Shang Chengjun smiled, and slapped the little girl to the ground, "Get out, get out!"

The room was suddenly empty, no one cried or trembled anymore, only Shang Chengjun sneered at the empty room, "Hua Jingzhao, let's wait and see."

That night, the merchant's third young master fell ill, like a madman, running around barefoot, laughing wildly.

Master Shang and Mrs. Shang invited the most famous doctor in the capital to make a diagnosis several times, but they still couldn't find the cause of the disease. In the end, they left a sentence that was both true and false.

In the next few days, the Shang Mansion invited eminent monks to perform religious rituals, but there was no effect, and instead, the entire Shang Mansion was filled with smog and panic.

Su Bao'er was caught in the crowd, and said inadvertently, "I heard that there is a monk Lai living in the Yaowang Temple, and he has some skills in subduing demons and exorcising demons."

"Is this true?" Master Shang was so worried that he didn't sleep well for several nights, and suddenly he regained his energy.

Su Baoer shook his head, "It's just hearsay, it can't be true."

Master Shang sighed, "Tell me what you heard."

Su Baoer lowered his head and thought for a while, "There is a man surnamed Zhang near Caishikou. He has been an executioner for several years. He must go to the Niangniang Temple every day to offer incense, hoping to embrace his son as soon as possible. Sure enough, his wife gave him two months A son was born, but the man realized something was wrong a few days before he was happy."

Seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, Su Baoer continued, "Guess what, the child didn't cry or laugh when he was born, and he kept crying in the dead of night, and the crying sound was evil, and he didn't look like an ordinary baby. People around It is said that it was a lonely soul locked up by a wild ghost, which caused Zhang and his wife to worry all day long and seek medical advice everywhere. Not to mention the money wasted, the child still kept crying every night. Afterwards, there was no other way, and the husband and wife Only then did he carry the child to the Yaowang Temple. He didn't have any hope, so he didn't want to send the child there. The monk Lai was dressed in a tattered cassock, waving a rosary while dancing and chanting. He took a knife and carved a word on the child's shoulder. I wrote a magic talisman with the blood on the tip of the knife, burned it to ashes, poured it into tea, and fed it to the child, after all this trouble, within three days, the child recovered."

Everyone was fascinated by what they heard just now, and after thinking about it carefully, they couldn't help but believe it.

Caishikou was originally the execution ground for the execution of prisoners. Over the years, the number of heads of people who have been beheaded there is probably innumerable. The man is the executioner again, who do these ghosts look for if they don't look for him?

"I'm just talking nonsense. Maybe it's just a coincidence. I haven't seen that man with the surname Zhang. It's probably just a rumor." Su Baoer scratched her head, "I think it's true that there is a huge reward for seeking a famous doctor from all over the world. Those monsters and ghosts, How can you believe something so mysterious?"

Master Shang walked back and forth a few steps with his hands behind his back, and said with a sigh, "Why didn't I have someone put up a notice? If it was useful, it wouldn't be delayed until now. Sigh... Whether it's a coincidence or a rumor, it doesn't hurt to try it. Steward. "

"Yes, sir."

"Immediately send people to the Yaowang Temple to invite people here, and there must be no neglect."

"Yes." The steward replied, turned around and ordered his servants to invite Monk Lai.

No matter what, there was always a glimmer of hope, and everyone in the mansion breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Not long after, the servants came back and reported that Monk Lai had a very weird temper, and he was willing to give it a try if the master had to send him to the Temple of the Medicine King himself. finger.

Now that the matter has come to an end, Master Shang had no choice but to have the madman's son tied up and send him away himself.

The sedan chair went far away, and Su Baoer climbed to the corner of the wall, giggling.

By the way, Su Qingchi and his party have already arrived in Yangzhou.
