A world of glory

Willows are blowing flowers, Yingyans are pecking for fragrance, water clouds are shimmering, and the reflection is blurred for a while.It was already past noon, and the maids in the mansion were a little idle, one was going to pick flowers, the other was going to watch the fish, and the others had made an appointment to go boating and picking lotus together, so they felt at ease.Even those rough envoys also took the opportunity to steal some free time, chatting their teeth lazily in the shade of trees or beside pavilions.

Not to mention the master of the other room, even the second wife, who has always been restless, also looks at the purity of her eyes and dreams in the room.The maids around the second wife, seeing that the second wife had rested, also found excuses, those who went back to the house, and those who went out, leaving only a few maids who guarded the house and waited for the door.

Yaohua has always been a safe and caring person, seeing the second wife fell asleep, worried that the second wife would wake up and find no one to bring tea and water, so she didn't dare to go out for a walk, so she just leaned on the couch in the outhouse to do her work. Dozed off while sewing.After doing needlework for a while, Yaohua became more and more dull, and couldn't sleep well, so she just covered her mouth with a handkerchief, yawned, stretched herself, and got up to pour tea again.

Suddenly hearing the curtain move, Yaohua hurriedly turned her head to look, but saw that Xuanzhen came into the room with a Hunan satin bundle, and hurriedly asked in a low voice: "Why are you back, how is the old lady?"

Xuanzhen just let go of the burden, turned around and said: "What else can I do? My energy is better than a few days ago. When I went in, the old lady ordered the daughter-in-law in charge to come out with the materials to cut clothes for the two young ladies, but by chance, I also got two pieces of materials."

Hearing what Xuanzhen said, Yaohua smiled, and said again: "But after getting a few pieces of material, I forgot about the business, but Grandma has ordered you to serve the old lady on her behalf. You are fine, like a gust of wind, after a while, you came back again. Fortunately, grandma fell asleep, if you wake up, will there be good fruit to reward you?"

Xuanzhen took out the ingredients, and after hearing Yaohua's words, he only smiled back and said: "It's not for business, what am I going to do when I come back, now if grandma rewards good fruit, I have to reward my sister first."

Before the eloquent words fell to the ground, Xuanzhen said again: "I was serving the old lady, but it happened that some famous mothers in our house came to pay my respects, so I couldn't help but gossip with the old lady. I don't know how to mention it Speaking of which, brother Xian is not at ease these days, and my sister also knows that the old lady can't be more considerate in her actions. She knows that brother Xian is not good, so there is no reason not to send someone to see. But the situation of the old lady right now is extremely serious I can't be bothered, but even though it's a small matter, someone has to hold hands and gossip about the things that can be given away. This matter didn't fall on our grandma's head, that's why I came back to spread the word .”

Yaohua heard this, and said angrily to Xuanzhen: "It's worth your haste to get a little maid, all the maids in this mansion are dumb and deaf."

As soon as the words were spoken, the second wife was heard in the room, asking lazily: "Who is talking outside, but what's the matter?"

Yaohua glared at Xuanzhen, and hurried in to help the second wife get dressed, after a cup of tea, the second wife tidied up and came out of the room.

Xuan Zhen hurriedly stepped forward to explain the matter, then lowered his head and replied: "The old lady said, Brother Xian is not short of anything, if you send some medicinal materials and supplements, it will inevitably be a bit frivolous, but if you send some rare playthings The decoration is not outrageous, let grandma help you think about it?"

The second wife sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, moved her bright red nails slightly, glanced at Xuan Zhen, and said calmly: "Got it, did the old lady give any other instructions?"

Xuanzhen listened to the second wife's question, and said with a smile: "The old lady has nothing to say, she just said that if grandma is too busy, she doesn't have to go there at night, so as to save going back and forth, it's stuffy and hot, and when she's sick, go away." .”

The second wife smiled slightly, just nodded, and said to Yaohua: "Since you are sending something to Brother Xian, you don't need to pick any rare items. You can add [-]% according to the old rules for sending the eldest son. I'll drop by later on."

Then he ordered to Xuanzhen: "Go back to the old lady, just say that I know, and wait for the master to come back in the evening, and go there to say hello together."

In front of the Huici Hall, a few women were sweeping the fallen flowers on the porch, but after a while, they swept out a few piles.The eldest maid, Caiyun, came out with a food box, and seeing the women sweating all over her face, she felt very pitiful, so she said with a smile: "The sun is scorching right now, some mothers go to the tea room to rest for a while, and stay to cool off for a while." Come out and clean up."

Seeing Caiyun's kindness, those women were all very grateful. One of them, seeing Caiyun carrying the food box, said with a wink: "Young lady wants to send the food box back to the kitchen. If you want the young lady to do it, I'll do it for you." Send it over there, girl, so you can take a rest." As he said that, he took the food box from Caiyun's hand and went outside.

The other two women said again: "If you don't think the waiter is salty, you can sit with us and drink some tea to moisten your throat."

Caiyun hurriedly laughed and said, "I won't go there. The old lady has just fallen asleep, and there are still people watching in the room. Moms, let's go and have a rest, and take a break from the heat."

Hearing what Caiyun said, the two women hurriedly laughed and said, "We are so confused that we forgot the identity of the girl."

Seeing Caiyun's friendly smile, one of the women asked cautiously: "I want to ask the girl something, but my old lady is stupid and afraid to say it out, which will only make the girl angry?"

Caiyun smiled sweetly, and said: "Mum, just talk about things, I'm not that angry."

After hearing this, the woman said a little nervously: "Since the eldest lady is gone, our two mansions have not been peaceful. There was a fight, and the blood spattered more than a foot high, which was scary to hear. During the night patrol, there were faint noises from the West Mansion. The people below us are all rumors that either the eldest lady is back, or There is something evil in the house, so things have not gone well these few days. I am not afraid of the girl's jokes. Although the old lady is old, she is also a little afraid of these ghostly things, so she wants to ask the girl, how can this young lady be? Is it really as rumored in the mansion that he was killed unjustly?"

Caiyun listened to her mother-in-law's words, although she felt that these were just far-fetched servants, suspicious and dark ghosts.But in detail, Miss Shuang's death was indeed wronged, maybe the resentment has not subsided, so she was afraid to make trouble in the mansion for a while.After a while, he forced a smile and said: "I don't know the rumors in our house, but my mother knows it too. Even if a sparrow flies past, some people say that they saw a phoenix. Miss Shuang's life is miserable." , finally got pregnant, not to mention her loss, she put her life on the line. This matter is innocent, there is nothing wrong with it. As for the West Mansion, I think the second wife is not doing well these days. The people at the bottom made up something, trying to be lazy. Besides, talking about the fight, it was only a few times of tearing up, and then the eldest son stopped him. There was a lot of blood, but there was a lot of bleeding. It's a pity that the bleeding was from the nose. I don't know which unlucky ghost was punched in the nose, and the blood flowed all over the place. I don't know if it was a foot high, anyway, the person would have to faint for a few days go."

Caiyun's words were well-founded, and the two women were convinced by what they said, and most of the fear in their hearts disappeared.

The two women nodded their heads and said: "I heard what the girl said, but it's not true. They are all rumors without a trace, and we have been hanging our hearts for a whole day."

Just as he was talking, he saw his wife leading someone in from the front of the screen, Caiyun and the two wives rushed forward to salute.Madam nodded, she accepted the ceremony, and asked Caiyun: "Have the old lady taken the medicine?"

Caiyun replied with a smile: "The old lady took the medicine fifteen minutes ago, and now she has fallen asleep. Madam, is there something wrong?"

Madam said indifferently: "There is nothing else, just come and take a look, since the old lady has fallen asleep, that's all."

As he said that, he took the lead and turned around to leave, suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Just now I vaguely listened, what are you talking about, the gods and ghosts are not peaceful, what are you talking about?"

Caiyun's complexion changed slightly, and she still smiled and said: "I didn't say anything else, it's just that the people below spread some weird rumors, I was talking to the two mothers, they were all jokes, made up to bluff people , can't be serious."

Madam's complexion softened a little, and she just said: "Although it's a joke, it's better not to talk about ghosts and gods. If you see other people talking nonsense, you should persuade them." Then he took people outside again.

"Speaking of it, it's not a bit strange. Yesterday, I patrolled in front of the yard where the girls lived. The lights were brightly lit, and there was no atmosphere at all. The bushes were shaking non-stop. When I looked away, nothing but grass and fallen leaves. Yesterday Even people at night can’t hear it right. In the middle of the night, it seems that someone is walking into the house. The bell on the skirt can be heard clearly. When the lamp is turned on, the doors and windows are closed, and there is no paper in the room. There are no pictures. But if it is a dream, it is not reasonable for many people to dream of going together. This is really strange." Beside the pavilion by the lake, a few poor women gathered together Dui'er, listening to a woman watching the night frothing about the strange things that happened in the West Mansion last night.

"It's not surprising, let alone the West Mansion, even our mansion was not peaceful last night." A woman in Tsing Yi interjected.
