Step on a branch

Chapter 1 Taoist Nun
Autumn is cool.

In the yard, the mother-in-law directed a few maidservants to move the flower pots and arrange the chrysanthemums that were about to bloom in order.

While exhorting, the mother-in-law turned her head to look into the room, through the half-open window, she met the second wife Ji's eyes inside.

The mother-in-law quickly showed a flattering smile.

Ji Shi only glanced at her, then looked away, took the teacup from Wang Nanny's hand, and took a sip.

After drinking the hot tea, Ji's expression eased a little: "Old Wang, our Yongninghou's mansion is up and down, and there are not many people and things in one piece. How can we deal with it? It's so tiring?"

Wang Momo said: "Madam is doing everything with heart and hands-on."

"If you pay attention, no one may remember it well. If you don't pay attention and something goes wrong, it will be all my fault." Ji snorted softly, "It's hard work, but there is no one who can take over."

Ji Shi took another sip of tea.

There has to be someone in the palm of the hand.

The year before last, Mrs. Yongning Hou said that she was too old to work hard, so she let go of the power of the family.

In the mansion, after the eldest daughter-in-law passed away, the eldest son did not remarry. As the second daughter-in-law, the Ji family became the successor.

Ji's heart was overjoyed, and he pushed three times in the open, and finally took this sweet pastry.

At that time, she really thought that palm feeding was a sweet potato.

just now……

Ji Shi just wanted to roll his eyes at himself the year before last.

Isn't it good to be a daughter-in-law who only knows how to eat and drink, pleases her mother-in-law if she has something to do, and makes her own fun when she has nothing to do?

Why do you have to work so hard from getting up early to going to sleep!
"I'm exhausted!" Ji Shi was annoyed.

Wang Momo thought for a while, and said: "It turns out that there is no one else in the mansion who can take care of it. Now, madam, why don't you leave it to the eldest girl?"

"Big girl?" Ji curled her lips, "We are the Yongning Hou Mansion, not the Tianyi Temple, and it's not that I, an aunt, look down on her. , I'm afraid she's wronged me."

That's right.

Qin Luan, the eldest daughter of their Yongning Hou Mansion, is also a Taoist nun.

When Qin Luan was young, he worshiped a master.

At first, I practiced at home. Eight years ago, I went to the temple with my master, and I only sent short letters from home during the festivals.

After the master wandered around, watching the big and small affairs, I heard that Qin Luan was in charge.

Ji originally thought that Qin Luan would take another year or two to go down the mountain. Unexpectedly, at the end of last month, the eldest niece suddenly sent a letter back, saying that she was ordered by her teacher to return home.

When the mansion saw the letter, they arranged chariots and horses to meet him in the temple.

Miss Qin just arrived yesterday.

"Speaking of it," Mrs. Ji suppressed her voice, and asked Mother Wang, "Have you found out? What is the teacher's order, and what did she say to the old master and the old lady?"

Nanny Wang shook her head.

As soon as the eldest girl entered the mansion yesterday, she went to see the Marquis of Yongning and Mrs. Hou.

The three grandparents talked behind closed doors for almost an hour.

The Second Madam is very curious about this, but in Madam Hou's yard, it is not easy to find any news...

Ji Shi pursed her lips, and said: "It's too abnormal for her to come back suddenly. In my heart, I'm up and down. I always feel that something big is going to happen."

"What's the big deal?" Nanny Wang comforted, "Following the teacher's order, can the teacher's order turn her upside down? Ma'am, you never treated her badly when she was young, and you don't want her to do anything now. To put it bluntly, there is no wrong in the past. No hatred, you don't have to worry."

Mrs. Ji thought about Wang Nanny's words, and murmured: "That's true."

Wang Momo said again: "However, what Madam said is also reasonable. The elder girl has never been in contact with the middle school of the mansion, so it is indeed wrong to hand it over to her rashly. This family still depends on your efforts."

Ji Shi didn't want to think too much about Zhong Zhi, and just asked: "What is she doing at this time? Staying honestly in her own yard?"

"The eldest girl is in her own room." Nanny Wang paused, "I just sent money to go shopping."

Ji's wondered: "You still have to ask a maid to do the shopping? Is there no one here to do things?"

"The concierge also asked the same question," Nanny Wang replied, "Qian'er said that the eldest girl wants detailed things, and the mothers who buy them may not understand. She came here and went back to take a look at her old lady."

Ji Shi said: "What exactly is it?"

Nanny Wang smiled dryly: "Yellow paper, cinnabar, smoked ink."

Ji's: ...

Fine.

She really doesn't understand, and neither do the shopping women.

However, what is the purpose of buying these back?
The eldest girl came back to the house to post a talisman?
"Could it be, could it be," Ji swallowed subconsciously, "Is there anything dirty in our house?"

Grandma Wang also turned pale, fearful in her heart, and said firmly, "Ma'am, don't think wildly, scare yourself, the old Hou Ye has been a soldier all his life and has a lot of blood, with the old Hou Ye here, how can there be a mess in our house?" s things."

"Ah, I'd rather believe it." Ji patted Nanny Wang's arm a few times, "Go to the eldest girl's yard and have a look. If she draws talismans, you can ask for a few more. I will keep them for emergencies." , go, go quickly!"

This eldest niece's level of reasoning is not good, but after thinking about it, she should be reliable, right?

After all, after being a Taoist nun for several years, drawing symbols is a basic skill, right?

In the East Garden, Qin Luan stood behind the desk, drawing with a brush.

Qian'er felt itchy in her heart, but she didn't dare to disturb her, so she could only poke her head, use her hand as a pen, and make random gestures.

Although I can't understand it, but my girl cuts the yellow paper, prepares the talisman water, and melts the talisman ink, and writes in one go, it looks amazing.

When Qin Luan put down his pen, Qian'er couldn't help asking: "Girl, what effect do these talisman papers have?"

Qin Luan raised his eyes.

She has a pair of black and white eyes, moon-shaped eyes, with a smile.

"It doesn't have any effect," Qin Luan said slowly, "it's just a daily class."

Qian'er let out a sigh, and asked: "Where is the maidservant, the talisman paper is obviously very powerful. If you put it on, you can't move, if you put it on, you can't speak, and if you put it on, your whole body will itch."

Qin Luan looked at Qian'er: "In the past few years since I went to the mountain, what strange things have you seen in the mansion?"

Qian'er blinked and blinked: "It really doesn't work?"

"You," Qin Luan gathered up the talisman paper, "Stop reading ghosts and ghosts."

Qianer was disappointed.

When the girl went up to the mountain to practice, she didn't bring anyone with her, so Qian'er naturally stayed in the mansion.

Cleaning up the yard on weekdays, with little work, what I think about the most in the past few years is what kind of skills the girl has cultivated, and what kind of abilities she has.

Unexpectedly, it was all made up by Zhiyi...

Mother Wang's voice came from outside, and Qian'er went out to welcome her.

Wang Momo asked with a smile, "What is Miss doing?"

Qian'er followed along and replied, "I just drew a paper talisman."

The expected answer made Wang Momo shudder involuntarily.

Sure enough, the autumn sun is not big enough, and it is strangely chilly.

"How many paintings have you drawn?" Wang Momo asked as she walked away, "Are there many? I'll ask for some."

Qian'er opened her mouth, but before she had time to say anything, Nanny Wang strode into the room, leaving only her impatient back view.

"But, but..." Qian'er dropped her shoulders, "Young lady said that talisman papers are useless..."
