Rebirth of the scholarly lady

Chapter 268 Knocking on the Door at Midnight
evening.

Nan Surou went to Wanbaozhai and used up the dinner by the way, but after she returned to Suyuexuan, the kitchen still delivered the dinner. This dinner seemed a bit unusual. It is an authentic traditional dish, but what is delivered today is the flavor of Kanehu's hometown.

Deep dish pies with pork, venison and some nuts like almonds and stuffed with a sticky red jam, and a plate of roasted pigeons stuffed with herbs And pork liver, in addition, there are roast quail, roast duck, roast suckling pig, one plate after another, this taste is a bit too heavy for Nan Surou.

Nan Surou is very suspicious, what is the big day today, so much, how can she eat it by herself?
But Nan Surou didn't ask people to remove the dish, but instead sent people to her room.

The time of the night was passing quietly, Nan Surou sat on the soft couch, not feeling sleepy at all, but kept staring at the inexplicably rich dinner in a daze.

Tonight is Dongliu's company, and the rest of the people have already gone to bed.

Dong Liu has been paying attention to Nan Surou's expression, Nan Surou stared at the dish for half an hour, finally, Dong Liu frowned, and asked in a low voice: "Miss, what's wrong with you?"

"It's not what's wrong with me, but what I want to ask is what's wrong with the person who tormented me with this meal." Nan Surou didn't look at her, her eyes were still fixed on the dish that had already cooled down.

Is this dish sent by Kane Huming?What exactly does that mean?
So rich, it means that this is the last supper...?

The moon outside is very good, the light is clear and bright, and there are no clouds in the sky. It illuminates the earth as brightly as the day, and there is also a layer of white silver.

Nan Surou and Dong Liu are learning martial arts, and their five senses are much sharper than before. It's late at night, and there should be silence outside, but suddenly there are a few barely audible footsteps, and the sound resounds in the corridor.

Nan Surou was startled suddenly, and raised her eyes to look at Dongliu.

Dong Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, apparently also hearing that voice.

The sound is like a graceful cat walking on its feet.

After a while, another sound sounded, as if responding to the footsteps just now.

Someone woke up from sleep, opened the door, and then closed the door with a "huh". Hearing the sound, it seemed that he went out to check what was there, and then went back to sleep when he found nothing.

however……

"Ah—" A moment later, a sharp scream came from that direction.

That was Xia Shi's voice, Nan Surou and Dongliu looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Gululu" sounded softly, it was the sound of someone wrestling in a panic.

Such a big movement, Nan Surou's pretending not to notice, seems too unreasonable.

Seeing Nan Surou's eyes, Dongliu understood immediately, she hurried out from the inner room, only to see Xia Shi was lying on the ground on his back with all four feet in the air, his face full of horror.

Dong Liu couldn't help but stepped forward to help her, and asked in a low voice: "Xia Shi, what are you doing? You woke up the lady."

Xia Shi was trembling all over and cried out of fright: "Sister Dongliu, woo woo woo—"

Dong Liu frowned, and patted Xia Shi's shoulder as if he was not used to it, as a sign of comfort, and waited for Xia Shi to calm down a little.

Xia Shi hesitated to explain what he had just seen.

It turned out that Xia Shi was already sound asleep, but she heard abnormal footsteps outside the door. Moreover, the door seemed to be opened, and it seemed to be opened and closed by someone. Xia Shi woke up in fright, although she opened her eyes Seeing that the door was not opened, she was still uneasy.

So, Xia Shi got up and opened the door to check, but she didn't find anyone outside, instead it was eerily quiet. She quickly closed the door and climbed back to sleep on the couch.

However, before she could close her eyes, she looked out of the window, under the silver moonlight, a woman in white clothes with disheveled hair was standing under the cherry tree, looking at her eeriely through the window.

Xia Shi only thought that she was dreaming, so she blinked fiercely, wanting to reconfirm, the first time she blinked, the woman was still there, and the second time she blinked, the woman was gone!

Therefore, Xia Shi was frightened by this scene, and fell off the soft couch in fright.

After the statement, Xia Shi asked Dongliu cautiously: "Sister Dongliu, did I see a ghost? Are there really ghosts?"

Dong Liu couldn't help laughing after hearing her words, ghost?This afternoon, Yunrong said that Hu's mansion has not been peaceful recently, and it has been haunted by ghosts. It has only been a few hours, and a "ghost" really came?
Moreover, according to Xia Shi's description, the first time you blink, the "ghost" is still there, and the second time you blink, the "ghost"...has it gone?

Dong Liu comforted Xia Shi, and then said: "Where is there a ghost? I didn't see it in the middle of the night. If you scream like this suddenly, it will disturb Miss."

Seeing Dongliu's relaxed face, Xia Shi obviously didn't believe what she saw and heard, so he grabbed Dongliu suddenly and said, "Sister, don't you believe me? I really saw it, it's absolutely true, it's so scary~ "

At this time, Nan Surou came out from the inner room, her clothes were neatly dressed, she had obviously just washed and washed, as if she hadn't fallen asleep at all, she glanced at Xia Shi coldly.

Xia Shi's heart froze, and he shut up instantly.

After a while, Nan Surou suddenly asked indifferently: "Xia Shi, what did you have for dinner today?"

Both Xia Shi and Dong Liu had puzzled looks on their faces, but Xia Shi still said truthfully: "The extra meals in the kitchen today are not from the Central Plains, but roasted squabs and suckling pigs. The pigeon's body is stuffed with pork liver, it's so delicious that the slaves can't help but eat more..."

"Oh? Is it like this? What day is it today, and there is extra food in the kitchen? Why hasn't anyone informed me?" Nan Surou raised her eyebrows.

Xia Shi frowned and said: "Miss, it's like this, you left the house in the afternoon, and the master came back for a while at that time, it seems that the second lady went to the master to ask, saying that today is the thirteenth aunt's head seven On that day, the kitchen was supposed to prepare the first seven wontons, but the master said that it was not appropriate to wake everyone up to eat wontons in the middle of the night, and the one who died was only an aunt. The seventh young master had never done such a thing before his death. Later, I don't know what the second lady told the master, but the master asked the kitchen to add more dishes..."

After hearing this, Nan Surou felt an urge to laugh.

It’s fine if you don’t eat the first seven wontons, and if you don’t eat the vegetarian meal, you can have extra meals of fish and meat. Is this to celebrate the death of the thirteenth aunt?
Although Kanehu is from a foreign country, he is a businessman. The best thing a businessman knows is to do as the Romans do. He may have a lot of doubts about the various folk customs and rules of the people in the Central Plains. If you don’t understand, it doesn’t mean you don’t understand. The difference is very different. At this moment, I am afraid that the second wife wants to prepare a vegetarian meal, but Kanehu deliberately asked the kitchen to change the menu to this, right?
Anyway, Nan Surou is in charge of everything in the house at this moment. How could others think that today's major event is actually the decision of Kanehu himself. Now it's all right, there must be many people secretly saying that Nan Surou is not Knowing etiquette... Even adding extra meals on someone else's first seven days, if you say it, you will be reprimanded.
