The days when I was a ghost in Liaozhai

Pei Rong felt that the days of peace in the inner house might not be long.

These days, she always dreams about the time when she and Wang Sheng were not married. At that time, her father was still the teacher of the fourth prince. Wang Sheng was the general, and he often went to the palace to accompany the fourth prince on horseback. She dreamed that she was dressed in men's clothes, Riding a horse and running on the grassland with those two handsome and vigorous young men.

Later she married Wang Sheng, she likes plum blossoms, Wang Sheng planted a plum forest for her, every winter, the plum blossoms are in full bloom, after the heavy snow, the flowers on the branches are condensed with a layer of frost, crystal clear and very beautiful.

Wang Sheng was enjoying the flowers in the plum forest with her. Sometimes he liked to whisper in her ear. Every time he said something presumptuous, she would secretly grab a handful of snow from the ground and take advantage of his unpreparedness. It was stuffed into his collar, and it froze him to death.Then he would laugh and chase her in the snow, and when he got there, he couldn't help but pin her under the plum tree and kiss her wantonly.

But dreaming and dreaming, she saw a beautiful, almost enchanting woman appearing between her and Wang Sheng. The smile on her face was very malicious, and she did not hesitate to show her young and attractive carcass | Wrapped around Wang Sheng's neck, red lips kissed his shoulder, those silky and charming eyes looked at her like a demonstration.

"Ma'am, you lost."

Pei Rong woke up from the dream when she heard this.

"Ma'am, what's wrong with you? Are you having nightmares again?" The servant girl Ruyi's voice was a little worried.

Pei Rong looked at the scene in front of her, the sun was shining outside, the warm winter sun shone on the ground, and the snow looked particularly glaring under the sun.She narrowed her eyes slightly, her voice was a little hoarse: "How long have I been asleep?"

Ruyi handed her a cup of hot tea: "Soon, about the time for a cup of tea."

Pei Rong sat up, took the hot tea and looked out the window, only to see a graceful figure walking into the Merlin accompanied by two maidservants.She walked down the steps slowly, and the long skirt was dragging on the snow. In front of her was her husband, Wang Sheng, looking at the woman with a smile on his face.

She withdrew her gaze and straightened her clothes, as if the scene just now had no effect on her.

She unhurriedly handed the cup in her hand to Ruyi, and asked, "Is Miss Xia here?"

Ruyi took the cup and said, "Just now the steward came to report that Miss Xia and the two young masters are already outside the city."

Pei Rong stood up and adjusted her makeup in front of the bronze mirror that Ruyi handed over, and saw that the woman in the mirror looked dignified and very gentle.She straightened her flowers, stood up, and said in a soft voice: "Then send someone to invite the general, just say that I hope the general can put aside the trivial matters that entangle him, and accompany me to welcome my cousin who came from afar."

Ruyi answered "Yes" and turned around to leave the room.

Pei Rong walked out the door, the cold winter air seemed to freeze people to the bone, even if the sun was shining brightly, it couldn't warm people's hearts.

At this time, at the gate of Jiangcheng, a low-key but luxurious carriage passed through the moat and entered the gate.

Xia Anqian opened the corner of the curtain of the carriage and looked at the scenery outside, but this was a small head who came over and followed him to watch.

"An Qian, your current identity is the cousin of the general's wife. Because both of your parents have passed away, the general's wife, your cousin Pei Rong, remembers the love your aunt gave her in the past and the friendship you had when you were young. Take you and your younger brother to the General's Mansion to stay for a while." Jin Feng flipped a booklet in his hand and said to Xia Anqian.

Xia An smiled slightly and glanced back at Jinfeng: "What? Worried that someone will watch me lift the car curtain and say I don't know how to be polite?"

Jin Feng raised his head, "It's your decision to go to the General's Mansion. You know what you want to do better than I do."

More than ten years have passed since Bai Qiulian's incident, and that stupid little dolphin has long since passed away.They are people who practice, they must practice both mana and merit.Xia Anqian said that cultivating merit is a small matter, but earning money is a big matter. It would be even better if both cultivating merit and earning money can be taken into account.In the past, Xia Anqian would only stay in one place for about a year, but in recent years, they have been living near Jiangcheng.

In Jiangcheng, there are also people who practice Taoism, and the people of these Jiangcheng are not surprised by people who practice Taoism.

Xia Anqian and An Feng live in seclusion, but the carp spirit often runs around to help make ends meet. The so-called running around is just that he often goes to the market to listen to gossip, such as which house is haunted, and where is it haunted by monsters? , he will contact those people who have supernatural accidents, and then use people's money to eliminate the disaster for them.Over time, he became well-known in Jiangcheng.

In fact, before Jiangcheng, they used to rely on such things to earn money wherever they went.It's just that the time spent in those places is too short, so they are not as famous as they are in Jiangcheng now.

The brochure in Jinfeng's hand was actually some business that Jiangcheng and the vicinity of Jiangcheng were looking for. Xia Anqian felt that he had been bored from practicing recently, so he should exercise his muscles and bones, so he took his brochure and flipped through it, and found the general Mrs.'s page.

General Wang Sheng is a highly valued general in the imperial court. He defeated the Xiongnu three months ago. When his squadron returned to the imperial court, he not only came back by himself, but also brought back a... younger sister named Xiaowei.

Everyone said she was a younger sister, but in the camp, was she really just a younger sister?

And that younger sister looks lovely, every frown and smile is very touching.

The general's wife, Pei Rong, felt that the beautiful woman her husband brought back from a small frontier village was not a human being, but a demon.

Xia Anqian found this conjecture of the general's wife very interesting, and what was even more interesting was that this Pei Rong thought Xiao Wei was a monster, but instead of looking for any famous monster catchers, she found them.Pei Rong privately sent a trusted maid to find Jinfeng and asked if his companion was a woman.

At that time, Jin Feng only thought that the other party was wrong, as long as he could do things for them, what would they do regardless of whether An Qian was a man or a woman?

But then the servant girl asked privately over and over again, saying that the rest of the powerful demon catchers were men, and their wife didn't want to find those demon catchers.Moreover, family ugliness should not be publicized. Her wife also hoped that things could be done in a more secretive manner, and the general's wife would be very generous if she did not act.Of course, they are not short of money, whether they can satisfy Xia Anqian's interest.

That day, Xia Anqian asked Jin Feng for a brochure, turned to the page of the general's wife, and asked Jin Feng to see what the younger sister brought back by General Wang Sheng looked like.

But before Jin Feng went out, Pei Rong came to the door in private.

Xia Anqian just aroused her curiosity and met Pei Rong in person.

"A big family has something to hide. I don't want the matter of the general to be known to others. I also hope that if the girl agrees to my request this time, she will keep it a secret."

As the general's wife, she was very dignified even though she was dressed in civilian clothes.It's a pity that it is too dignified, which may make people feel dull.Xia An observed Pei Rong's behavior in secret, and found that whether she was sitting or standing, her angles and demeanor were just right. It was pleasing to the eye at the beginning, but she became tired after watching too much.

Xia Anqian smiled slightly: "Madam, if you think I won't keep the secret for you, why would you come to me?" As she spoke, she pushed a cup of hot tea towards Pei Rong, "Madam, please drink tea."

Pei Rong's eyes fell on the tea that was smoking white smoke on the table. The tea soup was divided into the shape of a plum blossom by Xia Anqian, and she said softly: "You have been in Jiangcheng for five years, and you have quite a reputation, but everyone outside Knowing the strong wind, there are different opinions as to who the owner of the house is. They only say that the owner lives in seclusion and does not like to be disturbed by others. No one knows what kind of business he has done over the years. All he knows is that the owner here can exorcise ghosts and demons. Very trustworthy businessman."

Xia Anqian picked up the teacup, and her fair and slender fingers took advantage of the white ceramics, which looked extraordinarily beautiful.

"Ma'am, your reputation is too high. We are just using people's money to eliminate disasters."

"I came here on this trip to hope that you can help me eliminate the disaster."

Xia An turned her head slightly, and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her. She seemed to suppress all her emotions in her heart. Even when she mentioned that her husband had won a battle and brought back a woman who seemed to be a monster, she didn't seem angry. .

So decent, so proud, yet so repressed.

"How do you want me to get rid of the disaster for you?"

Pei Rong: "Find out for me whether that woman is a human or a demon? If she is a demon, let the general know her true face."

Xia Anqian: "What do you think is her purpose in coming to the General's Mansion?"

Pei Rong was taken aback.

Xia An smiled slightly, and continued in an unhurried tone: "Ma'am, you don't seem to be afraid of these monsters, otherwise you wouldn't have clearly suspected that she was not human, and you would have remained calm for so long. You are not afraid of these monsters." If you’re not afraid, then the general probably isn’t afraid either, right?”

Pei Rong raised her eyes and looked at Xia Anqian, with a bit of surprise in her eyes: "I'm really not afraid of these monsters. When I was young, I had a friend who was a monster catcher."

Xia Anqian thought to herself that since she has a friend who is a demon hunter, why should she come to her?A friend is always more reliable than a stranger like her.

Pei Rong was silent for a while, before she said: "When I got married, this friend of mine left Jiangcheng. Besides, I'm already someone else's wife, so it's inconvenient to find him. Some things, maybe you and I are both women, I will be able to understand each other's inner sufferings better. I don't want my former friends to watch me laugh."

Xia Anqian recalled the meeting with Pei Rong at that time, and felt that the general's wife was really an interesting person.

Her husband won the battle and brought back a beautiful girl, and she also wanted to bring her distant cousin to Jiangcheng to live in the general's residence.

What is her idea?

While Xia An was thinking about things, the carriage had already arrived outside the general's mansion.In order to welcome her cousin, Pei Rong went to the side door to greet her in person, and her husband Wang Sheng was also by her side.

"Miss Xia is finally here. Ever since our wife knew that my aunt and uncle had passed away, we have been thinking about her day and night. Now we can count on the arrival of Miss Xia and Master Biao."

The maid next to Pei Rong had a relationship with Xia Anqian once, she was the one who accompanied Pei Rong to Xia Anqian's house.She is Xia An's shallow person, she is Pei Rong's confidant maid.

Xia Anqian took An Feng out of the carriage. After so many years, An Feng still looked like a young child with a bun on his head, which looked very cute.

When An Feng got out of the car, he ran up to Pei Rong and Wang Sheng, looking up at them curiously.

Pei Rong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "This must be my little cousin, An Feng, who is not afraid of life at all."

Pei Rong and her distant cousin have not seen each other for more than ten years. At the beginning, her aunt married a high-ranking official named Xia in Jiangcheng. Later, the high-ranking official was demoted and left because of her political stance. Since then, Pei Rong and her cousin have been together Never met again.A year ago, Pei Rong learned from her father that both her aunt and uncle had passed away.Pei Rong had also cared about how her young cousin was doing now, and she had exchanged letters, but her cousin said in the letter that her father hated Jiangcheng deeply, and as a daughter, she didn't want to set foot in Jiangcheng.

A year ago Wang Sheng was fighting in the frontier, Pei Rong didn't bother him with these things at home.He just told him about the death of his aunt and uncle, and mentioned that he wanted to take his cousin to Jiangcheng to live for a while.But as for what the cousin meant, before she had time to tell Wang Sheng, Wang Sheng gave her a surprise.

Wang Sheng brought the beautiful and young Xiao Wei back to Jiangcheng.

So Xia Anqian came to the General's Mansion as her cousin.

The two cousins ​​haven't seen each other for a long time. No matter what kind of relationship they had when they were young, whether it was emotional or reasonable, it has been diluted by the time of nearly ten years.Xia Anqian just stepped forward, with a smile on her face, she met Sister Pei Rong and her brother-in-law graciously.

"Since my father passed away, I have always missed Sister Pei Rong in Jiangcheng. Later, Sister Pei Rong invited her younger sister to come here again and again, so I brazenly brought my younger brother to disturb Sister Pei Rong." She said to Wang Sheng Yingying made a Wanfu salute, "I'm troubling my sister and brother-in-law."

Standing beside Pei Rong, Wang Sheng said warmly with a smile on his lips, "We are all a family, don't talk about outsiders." Then, he looked sideways at his wife beside him, and asked, "Is my cousin going to live here?" The place has been arranged, have you discussed with the steward who will go there?"

Pei Rong: "I've already arranged these things. I just wait for the general to see that it's all right."

"I told you a long time ago that you can make up your own mind about things at home."

Wang Sheng looked at his wife with a gentle expression and a very trusting tone in his tone.

When Pei Rong heard this, she smiled slightly, "Since this is the case, I will be the one who decides about An Qian's brother and sister."

The couple come and go, and what they show to outsiders is a harmonious and very happy appearance.

The residence that Pei Rong arranged for Xia Anqian was not far from her yard.When Xia Anqian came here, she told her that she didn't like people to disturb her, so she tried not to arrange people to go to her yard.Pei Rong only sent two maidservants she trusted to go there, and except for a few servants who were rough envoys, she did not arrange any manpower.

Wang Sheng felt that Xia Anqian came from a long way, whether such an arrangement was a bit inappropriate, but Pei Rong said that her cousin was quiet and innocent since she was a child, and the little cousin was innocent and cute, but she still couldn't speak now, saying that the enlightenment was still very early, and My cousin also has his own valet, so it might not be good to arrange more people for him.

Wang Sheng also said earlier that the matter of An Qian's sister and brother was entirely up to Pei Rong to decide, so he didn't ask any more questions.

Xia An entered the residence shallowly, An Feng went to a new place and ran around.He has long been used to playing in the human world, and he knows that he can't show his magic power casually during the day, and he won't fly around casually to scare people to death.

Jinfeng used his magic power to arrange the things in the house as they liked, and said to Xia Anqian: "I always feel that there is something weird between the general and his wife."

Xia Anqian was standing under a plum tree in the courtyard. The plum blossoms on the branches were in full bloom. She raised her hand and made a knife with her two fingers, and cut off two branches.

She took two plum blossoms into the house, found a vase, and asked Jin Feng: "Why is it so weird?"

"They look very affectionate, but they seem to be too polite."

Xia An tilted his head slightly, looked at the two plum blossoms placed on the window sill, and looked at An Feng who was rolling in the ice and snow outside, and said with a smile: "The husbands have brought back the righteous sisters, do you think they are from Is it true love?"

Maybe they used to be very loving, but now they probably have a relationship as husband and wife, but...Xia Anqian thought about Pei Rong's decent and dignified demeanor and demeanor, and felt that maybe the couple was just deceiving themselves.

Jinfeng: "I don't understand what these mortals are thinking."

Xia Anqian: "It's good to not understand. When you really understand, maybe you would rather not understand."

While the two were talking, Pei Rong had already come over accompanied by Ruyi.

"I'll come and see, how do you feel about this place, is there anything you're not used to?" Pei Rong asked Xia Anqian considerately, with a bit of elder sister-like tenderness in her eyes.

Xia Anqian walked to Pei Rong's side and replaced Ruyi by her side, "It's pretty good, I'm not used to it for the time being."

Pei Rong smiled and asked, "Let me show you around the General's Mansion?"

Xia Anqian nodded, "Okay."

Looking at the backs of Pei Rong and Xia Anqian walking away slowly along the path, Jin Feng couldn't help but reach out and rub An Feng's small forehead, "If I didn't know, I would think that they are really cousins."

"An Feng, are you right?"

An Feng tilted his head, looked at Xia Anqian's back as he walked away, his dark eyes rolled around, and seeing no one around, he simply became presumptuous, he grinned, and a thousand piles of snow rolled up on the open space in the yard , and then slowly turned into a snow fox in the air.

Before Jinfeng could speak, the snow fox turned into countless little snowballs and flew towards Jinfeng.

Strong wind: "..."

So does he deserve it?Every time Xia Anqian walked with his front foot, An Feng started to toss him with his back foot.
