The days are like running water, flowing forward endlessly.

After Jiji, the next step is to prepare for marriage.Aunt Tao, Tao Yanwu and his wife, who were absent from Zisu and Jili, caused another round of rumors in Furong Town.

Some people said that Zisu was arrogant and arrogant, and didn't take Tao Yanwu seriously, which annoyed the elder brother who was already a high-ranking official. Some even said that Aunt Tao was hurt by Zisu and followed her eldest son away in a fit of anger.

Although Zi Su is not afraid of these gossips, but when she sees the unhappy third brother and fourth younger sister, she can't bear it.Unable to bear it, he enlightened them.

"The mouth grows on people, what people like to say, what to say, the emperor is still being said behind his back, let alone me!"

The third younger brother spat fiercely in the direction of the capital, and said angrily: "I really don't know what the reason is, Mr. Mei sent someone to give him a gift, he arrived well, and he didn't lose anything. Adding things for no reason!"

"That's right!" The fourth sister agreed, "People outside said it was so ugly, if it got to the ears of the Qiu family, I don't know how to look down on the second sister."

Zisu couldn't help but raised the corners of her lips to give herself a faint mocking smile when she heard the words.

Of course she knew the impact of this incident on herself. If the Hou family dared to calculate her in the past, it was because she was just the daughter of a merchant. But now, knowing that her brother is an official in the court, and he is still a high official, The Hou family still dared to let the horse come over like this, because in the eyes of outsiders, Tao Yanwu actually has no affection for her younger sister and her family!It's okay to bully and bully!

"We can't control other people's ideas." Zisu looked at Simei and said, "But what we can do is that others can have her ideas, but we must have our own principles. We have wronged ourselves."

Her words were very convoluted, for a while, the fourth younger sister and third younger brother looked at Zi Su hesitantly, as if trying to figure out what she meant.

"I don't think it will be long before a letter comes from Kyoto, saying that my mother is ill and wants us to go and see her." Zisu lowered her eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "When we don't go, there will be a letter saying , knowing that we are busy with business and the third brother and I can’t leave, let the fourth sister go!” After Zisu finished speaking, she looked up at the third brother and fourth sister, “What will you do then?”

"What should we do?" The third brother and fourth sister looked at Zisu together, "Of course we won't go, we're not doctors, and we can't treat diseases, so what's the use of going!"

The answer was beyond Zisu's expectations. She was startled, and raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Well, when the time comes, people will say that we are not filial?"

"Then what they said about them, are we going to embarrass ourselves because of what they say?" The third brother looked at Zisu and said, "We all know that person has bad intentions, if it's really according to his intention to let Fourth Sister go to the capital, Who knows what will happen! How can you harm your loved ones because of other people's words. "

Zisu nodded, looked at the third brother with relief, and said, "I think so too, but in fact we can do the preparatory work first."

"Preparation?" The third brother looked at Zisu puzzled, "How to prepare? Are we going to send the fourth sister away?"

"No."

"No?" The third brother looked at Zisu suspiciously, "That's it?"

Zisu looked down at the fourth sister, and said softly: "Fourth sister, do you mind if the second sister tells the outside world that you are not in good health?"

The fourth sister shook her head, and looked at Zisu with clear eyes, "Second sister, I will follow your orders."

Not long after that, people in Furong Town discovered that Tao Mingyao, the fourth daughter of the Tao family who often followed Zisu to the shop, seldom showed up!Then, I saw Tao Zisu, the eldest daughter of the Tao family, sent someone to the county to invite a doctor from Huaqingtang. Within a few days, news spread that the fourth daughter of the Tao family was ill.

Then, in mid-June, when the weather was getting hotter, someone well-informed found out that the fourth Tao family girl didn't know what was going on, and she became very sleepy, and she was often just woken up. The next moment, in the blink of an eye, he fell asleep again.The doctor invited couldn't tell what was going on!

Then, at the end of June, the Tao family, which had invited several groups of doctors, began to invite Taoist priests and monks to come back and chant scriptures to drive away evil spirits.Not long after that day, a crazy Taoist priest wandering around passed Tao's house, pointing to the southeast direction of Tao's house, and yelling that he saw a vixen. To occupy the fourth sister's body, so the fourth sister will sleep more and more extravagantly!

Everyone didn't believe it at first, but Zisu asked the wives to beat the crazy Taoist priest out.During the chase, the peach-wood sword in the Taoist priest's hand flew into a vacant courtyard in the southeast direction with a talisman attached. The next moment, there was a burst of barking like a dog but not a dog.

The faces of the women changed, and the Taoist took the opportunity to run out of the house. The next moment, Yang raised a dusty red fox with its head drooping.

At this time, not only the mother-in-law of the Tao family, but also the people watching the excitement around the yard were all shocked.

Soon someone knelt down and shouted to the Taoist priest, "Master!"

Someone even persuaded Zisu, "Girl, the master is a master! Hurry up and apologize to the master! Beg him to show your fourth daughter again."

Zisu had to apologize a little bit, and entertained the Taoist priest with good food and wine.

The Taoist then spoke, saying that although the vixen was eliminated, the three souls and six spirits of the fourth girl were swallowed up by the vixen.I have to do a few more ceremonies to imprison the scattered soul in this courtyard, and even more to say that within the next three years, Fourth Sister cannot leave this house!Otherwise, I'm afraid my life will be lost!

Zisu thanked her thousands of times and sealed 500 taels of silver on the spot to thank her. She repeatedly begged the Taoist priest to tell where she cultivated immortality, and promised to reshape the golden bodies of real people for the Taoist temple to report the life-saving grace of the Taoist priest.The Taoist priest was not sloppy, and immediately said that he was originally a disciple of the Qingcheng School of Qingcheng Mountain, and he obeyed his master's order to go down the mountain to kill demons.

As soon as the days passed, it entered July. As the weather became hotter and hotter, the fourth younger sister, who had been sleeping extravagantly before, slowly woke up more time. It's just that people's spirits are not very good, and they are often ignorant. It seems that, It's like losing a soul.

And at this time, the letter from Kyoto really came!

Zisu read the contents of the letter, smiled coldly, and handed the letter to the third brother on the side.

"Look!"

The third brother reached out to receive the letter, and then opened it before his eyes. After reading it with a glance, he groaned heavily, crushed the letter, threw it on the ground, and said in a hateful voice: "We are No matter how many bad things you did in your previous life, you will be brothers with such a person in this life!"

Zisu picked up the letter paper that was crushed by the third brother, and said calmly: "You can reply to the letter, just say that the fourth sister is ill and cannot withstand the long journey. Mother, she is also getting old, and I think it's because I'm not acclimatized when I arrive in Kyoto." , it’s better to send it back.”

The third brother nodded, and Dang even started to write with the pen and ink on the table.In a few words, he finished writing what he was about to say and handed it to Zisu, "Second Sister, take a look."

Zisu nodded, took it over, glanced roughly, nodded and said: "Give it away!" After a pause, he said: "I will go to the Yaowang Temple tomorrow to pray for my mother and fourth sister, and I will do a ritual ceremony by the way."

The third brother nodded, although there was annoyance between his brows, but in the end he was slightly relieved because he had taken precautions.After thinking about it, he said, "What if she doesn't come back when you get married?"

Zi Su said lightly: "I will never get married just because she doesn't come back." After a pause, she said softly: "Don't think about it, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. Although she is confused, she is not so confused. That look!"

The third brother opened his mouth, looked at Zisu and hesitated to speak, and wanted to say, "I'm afraid she is really so confused!" He couldn't bear to make Zisu feel sad, so he nodded and said: "I don't think she would paint like that!"

Zisu smiled, and urged the third younger brother, "Go and send the letter, I'll go and see the fourth younger sister."

"Ah."

After the third brother took the letter and went to the post station, Zisu stood in the room and looked up at the white flowers on the top of her head, and then heard that she kept yelling "I see, I see..." I felt an inexplicable feeling in my heart. A touch of irritability.People say that you are not afraid of your enemies like wolves, but your teammates are like pigs.Encounter, Mrs. Tao is so unclear, it really makes people don't even have the energy to hate!

Feeling sulky, thinking of the fourth sister who was supervising the embroiderers embroidering wedding dresses, Zi Su's brows unconsciously lit up with joy, and she turned and walked towards the east wing.

"The eyes of this mandarin duck are not embroidered flexibly!" The fourth younger sister pointed to the pillow under the embroiderer's hands and said to the embroiderer who invited: "You need to fix it!"

"Yes, Fourth Miss." Xiu Niang respectfully agreed.

The fourth younger sister went to look at the embroiderer who was embroidering the red wedding dress, picked out a few deficiencies, and asked the embroiderer to fix it. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said to Qingqing on one side: "The weather is getting worse and worse. It's hot, you have to hurry up, otherwise in a few days, your hands will sweat and you will be unable to keep up!"

Qingqing looked at the embroiderers who were flying the needle and paper, raised her head and persuaded the fourth sister: "Miss Si, you can't bear the fatigue, you'd better go and rest, as long as there are slaves here."

The fourth sister was about to refuse, but when she raised her eyes, she saw Zisu walking slowly towards her, and hurriedly stepped forward with a smile.

"Second sister!"

In front of the room full of outsiders, Zisu stepped forward with a smile, wiped the fourth sister's forehead with a handkerchief, and said softly: "You are in better health, don't be tired."

"No," the fourth sister pulled Zisu and walked towards the wedding dress, "I'll let them embroider peony patterns for you, you can see if you like it or not!"

Zi Su saw that on the wedding gown trimmed with bright red dazzling gold thread, the pattern of blooming peonies was being embroidered with golden thread by the embroiderers. squinted.

"Miss Tao." The embroiderers bowed to Zisu.

"Let's all be busy with your work." Zisu waved her hands, signaling the embroiderers to be busy with their work, and after looking around, she said to Simei: "With you watching, it's a hundred times better than me watching! "

The fourth sister laughed sincerely when she heard the words, "Second sister, don't worry, I will definitely not let them make a mistake!"

Zisu smiled, took Fourth Sister's hand and walked out.

"I sent a letter from Kyoto, saying that my mother is ill, and I want you to go to Kyoto to accompany her." Zisu's voice was neither soft nor low, just enough for the people in the room to hear, "But in your case, the Taoist priest has something to say. Confession..." After a moment of silence, he said in a deep voice, "I plan to go to the Yaowang Temple to offer incense and be a mage to pray for my mother."

The fourth younger sister lowered her head in a "melancholy" way, and said softly, "It's because I'm not filial, otherwise, I'd better go there. The Taoist priest might say..."

But Zisu interrupted her and said, "No, what if you don't cure your mother's illness, instead you let yourself in?"

The two sisters talked farther and farther away, and their voices became lower and lower.

Qingqing also excused herself and walked away.

When only Xiu Niang was left in the room, soft whispers gradually sounded.

"Hey, Miss Tao is really not easy."

"That's right, I have to worry about the old and take care of the young ones. Seeing that I'm about to get married, I don't feel the joy of being a newlywed at all."

"Hey, didn't you say that the eldest son of the Tao family is a high-ranking official in the capital? Before the four girls were so sick that they didn't send anyone back. Now this eldest girl is about to get married. Don't say it, let the old lady Sending it back to be the master, and thinking about taking the fourth girl away, what the hell is going on!"

"Who knows!"

"Tsk tsk, you haven't seen the appearance of the fourth girl, but she is a bit more delicate than the eldest girl. Take the fourth girl to the capital at this time..."

Although the embroiderers didn't go on to say anything, these embroiderers often leave from rich families, and the dirty things of this rich family have been seen a lot.Some things can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words. After a few words, you will naturally understand the key points.

That's why Zisu invited the embroiderer's family to embroider the wedding dress!Naturally, I want to use these people's mouths to say some things that are inconvenient for them to say outside!Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages in everything, and she knows that although the words from the embroidered mother's mouth are reasonable to her!But in Hou's eyes, it might be the catalyst for her change of background.

However, if she, Tao Zisu, can't even win against the Hou family, then she might as well use a rope and strangle herself to death as soon as possible!

The next day, Zisu went to the Yaowang Temple with great fanfare.It is rare for her to make a high profile in adding sesame oil and doing things.

However, Zisu would never have imagined that she would meet Qiu Xingniang in the Yaowang Temple!And among the crowd of men and women around Qiu Xingniang, there was actually that "male hooligan" that she had long forgotten behind her head!

"Girl!" Qingqing's eyes almost fell out of shock when she saw Chen Jixiu in the crowd.Holding Zisu tightly, he said in a trembling voice, "He...is he from the Chen family?"

Zisu pulled Qingqing aside calmly, and said softly, "Don't look over there, don't be noticed by him."

However, it was too late.

Chen Jixiu had noticed Qiu Xingniang when he was staring at Zisu bitterly, and was asking Qiu Xingniang in a low voice, "Sister-in-law Wu, do you know that girl?"

Qiu Xingniang gave Zisu who had already avoided the crowd a hard look, and said angrily, "Fox spirit!"

"Fox spirit?!" Chen Jixiu chuckled and said in his heart: No, it's still a wild fox!But in his mouth he said: "Sister-in-law Fifth, but Brother Fifth..."

"He dares!" Qiu Xingniang said angrily, "He is Qiu Yanzhu's daughter-in-law!"

Chen Jixiu was stunned immediately!
