first princess

Chapter 31
The old lady's original candidate was Shui Minyu, and Shui Minhui went to entertain Jin Shanggong, which made Minyu think that she, as a grandmother, had to give him a more important task, and there was nothing better than pacifying the inner house .The old lady smiled and said: "That's right, then Minyu."

Shui Linglong saluted and left.

Soon, Shui Minyu received a notice that he was fully responsible for subduing demons.Shui Minyu is highly regarded, and he feels very happy. The new official has three fires, each of which made him burn with blood!He first went to Shui Lingyue's yard to find out the details, and then questioned Shiqing, Zhao's mother, and the maid who claimed to have witnessed Huayi fooling around, and found that the two places were not haunted by the same ghost. After discussing with the old lady, a Taoist priest named Yang Daxian was finalized.

Yang Daxian is well-known in the capital area. It is rumored that on the night he was born, nine thunders rang in the sky, and a mountain was blown flat.It is also rumored that he is the first disciple of the Supreme Lord, with powerful and unfathomable mana. He can communicate with the gods on the top, and can make contracts with evil spirits on the bottom. You can return to heaven after going through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships.

He often prays for blessings or exorcises evil spirits to famous families, and he is famous and making money every day.His appearance fee is one hundred taels of silver, and the trapezoidal fee is charged according to the difficulty of the ghost. After a brief exchange with Shui Minyu, Yang Daxian defined it as "complex comprehensive haunting syndrome", and the asking price was 500 taels. Shui Minyu's eyes The son moved, and whispered in his ear: "I will do something for you, I will give you..."

He raised his right index finger, Yang Daxian was dumbfounded, and then nodded like a pounding garlic, the deal!
Yang Daxian's method of opening the altar requires a lot of supplies, so there are also a lot of Taoist boys brought into the mansion. After his preliminary judgment by opening his eyes, the ghost in Shui Lingyue's courtyard is the most fierce and powerful, and he has to subdue him first. The imp is not enough to fear.

In the courtyard, Daxian Yang jumped onto the altar, raised his sharp sword, and danced with his hands and feet: "The heavens are spirited, the earth is spirited, the best way to slay demons and eliminate demons is the most powerful, the Taishang Laojun is as urgent as the law! Show up--"

Bang!
With the sound of explosion, the burning incense bowl on the table suddenly exploded, and Yang Daxian spat out a mouthful of blood!

Aunt Zhou was startled, covering her stomach, her legs trembling faintly: "My God! Even the immortal can't come down! Is Fourth Miss still saved?"

Gao Mama supported her, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, Daxian has brought so many people here, they will definitely be able to come down."

All the servant girls knelt down in fright.

"What a powerful evil spirit! I am the first disciple of the Taishang Laojun. Let me ask you, why don't you reincarnate and do harm to the world?" Yang Daxian asked sternly, and a Taoist boy suddenly had a seizure. She trembled violently, her pupils were dilated, and her face was dazed, which made the servant girls scream again and again. After a while, Dao Tong stopped his movements and said through gritted teeth: "I died so unjustly! I died so unjustly!"

"Ah—" the maids hugged tightly in fear.

Yang Daxian took a sip of the wine, sprayed it forcefully at a talisman, and then stuck it on the top of Daotong's head with lightning speed. Daotong rolled his eyes and fell to the ground. After a while, Daotong suddenly opened his eyes. Eyes, look left, look right: "I... why am I lying on the ground?"

"Huh—" A chill slowly spread through Aunt Zhou's limbs, and she held Mama Gao's hand tightly.

"Yang Daxian is a god!"

"The Taoist boy just now was bent over by the evil spirit, right? Yang Daxian restrained him with one move!"

"I didn't believe it at first, seeing is believing!"

Maids, what you said and what I said, praised Yang Daxian's self-confidence infinitely!He looked up to the sky with a muffled laugh, and turned around, but his joy gave way to grief, he stepped on the air... and fell off the platform!
Hiss!Everyone gasped!
"Aww!" Yang Daxian yelled in pain, and everyone looked at him with a "swish"!

Yang Daxian's expression froze, he blinked in embarrassment, cleared his throat again, endured the severe pain in his buttocks, counted his fingers, and said seriously: "It turned out to be a thousand-year-old dog monster! Dog monster! How dare you attach yourself to the Great Immortal! Do you want the Immortal to be thrown to death? Hmph! See if the Immortal beats you to death! Are you running away? Where are you going? Not good! The dog demon has escaped! Go to the various yards to make my talisman, don't let the dog monster run in and do evil!"

"Yes!"

26 Daotong, six stayed in Shui Lingyue's courtyard to drive away evil spirits, and the remaining 20 went to the masters' courtyards to draw symbols and set up altars.

In Lingxiang Courtyard, two Taoist boys pasted talismans on the courtyard and on the door panels, and asked their servants to carry out Zhuozi and set up a small altar. Next, no one is allowed to leave the yard for half a step until the ghost hunting is over!

Inside the house, Mother Zhong lowered the curtain angrily!
Zhi Fan was embroidering a purse, Ye Mao was wearing a shoe sole, the two looked at each other with displeasure.

Shui Linglong burned a storybook, and there were many other storybooks, she flipped through one at random, and seemed to not mind this disguised restraint at all.

Mother Zhong snorted and said, "How can you do this? No one is allowed to go out? It's almost time for lunch. Do you want Missy to go hungry?"

Zhifan took a look at Shui Linglong who was expressionless, and said to Mama Zhong: "Daotong said that the old lady's yard is the same, you are only allowed to enter but not to go out, we also have snacks from Mama Du in our room, let the eldest lady Eat some soon."

Ye Mao raised his eyes: "Miss, if you are hungry, slaves can climb over the back wall."

Shui Linglong covered her mouth with a book, and laughed, "Aren't you afraid of offending the gods, or being possessed by a dog demon?"

Ye Mao scratched his head and smiled naively: "The slaves run fast, how can the dog demon catch up? At least a bat demon must come!"

"Pfft--" There was a ball of laughter in the room.

Zhi Fan frowned slightly, and said: "The young master invited the immortal and the Taoist priest. If the young master doesn't deal with us at Lingxiangyuan, will he take the opportunity...to do something?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone looked at Shui Linglong, hoping that she would rather believe what she had or not, and prevent problems before they happened.

Shui Linglong didn't seem to notice everyone's attention and worry, she just flipped through the story book page by page, and she didn't speak quietly until half an hour later she finished reading, "Zhi Fan and Ye Mao go to the front yard, and the other is in the front yard." In the backyard, keep an eye on Dao Tong's movements."

Zhi Fan pursed her mouth, Miss, you can really hold your breath, this servant is about to suffocate to death!

Since they can't leave the yard, everyone can only learn to have fun by themselves.

The old lady chose to read Buddhist scriptures.

Qin Fangyi simply went to sleep.

Shui Lingxi sewed the underwear for the wedding with her own hands, and the wedding clothes for the prince and princess were custom-made by the Shang Palace Bureau, so she didn't need to do it.

As for the little Shui Lingqing who just kept eating snacks, Aunt Feng sat next to her, quite absent-minded, Shui Lingqing handed Aunt Feng a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake: "It's delicious, Auntie, eat it."

Aunt Feng didn't hear it, she was in a daze.

Shui Lingqing pushed her: "Auntie!"

"Ah!" Aunt Feng's hand trembled and she tore off the necklace on the jade pendant. She gasped, lowered her eyes to cover her erratic expression, and said with a sneer, "Look at me, I didn't sleep well yesterday. Li dozed off."

Shui Lingqing stuffed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake into her mouth and looked at Aunt Feng while eating. Suddenly, she pointed to the silver hairpin on Aunt Feng's head and said, "This hairpin is so special. Where did you buy it, Auntie? Rui'er bought one for me too."

Aunt Feng touched the hairpin, her eyes became more and more flustered, and she almost didn't dare to look at Shui Lingqing: "This... this, this is what A Rong bought casually at a roadside stall, and it's not worth much." The hairpin was taken off, stuffed into the wide sleeve, and then looked at Shui Lingqing, "If Miss Fifth likes it, Auntie will buy you a gold one!"

Shui Lingqing's big eyes flickered with hope, but soon she thought of the situation between herself and Aunt Feng, shook her head and said, "I haven't finished wearing the jewelry my elder sister gave me! No need to buy it."

Aunt Feng's nose was sour, and she hugged Shui Lingqing into her arms: "I'm sorry, Auntie is useless, she can't give you a noble background, and make you suffer."

Shui Lingqing smiled and said: "I don't feel bitter. I am very happy to have my aunt with me! I really want to be with my aunt for the rest of my life."

Aunt Feng hugged Shui Lingqing tightly: "Silly boy..."

In Shui Minyu's yard, there was laughter and laughter, punches, drinking orders, no matter how exciting they came, Qin Zhixiao was among them, both he and Shui Minyu were good at wine, even if they played chess in the gazebo, they would have to drink two cups, In the past, Shui Hangge used Shui Minyu's young age as an excuse not to allow him to touch alcohol, but now that he is fifteen, Shui Hangge doesn't restrict him much.

In fact, Shui Minyu didn't invite Qin Zhixiao to the house today, but some things had to go through his hands, so he came here on his own initiative, and Shui Minyu couldn't keep him out.Thinking of what happened next, Shui Minyu really felt that this cousin's appearance...was out of season!
Shui Minyu picked up the wine glass, gestured to Liu Lu, Liu Lu understood, stood up and said with a smile: "I remember that the master gave you a pot of western wine the day before yesterday. Which cabinet did you put it in? My maid will go get it."

Qin Zhixiao had an indescribable dislike for this maid who had a good relationship between Shui Minyu and Shui Linglong. He had advised Shui Minyu several times that she might not be trustworthy, but Shui Minyu would not listen.

Shui Minyu blurred her eyes, kissed Liu Lu's little hand, and said softly: "It's in the third cabinet on the right under Duobao Pavilion." After speaking, she didn't forget to wink at her.

Liu Lu understood, got up and walked to Duobao Pavilion, squatted down, opened the door of the cabinet, took out the wine and the sweat medicine on the side, because his back was facing them, even if Qin Zhixiao stared at her, he didn't see what she had done What.

Liu Lu put the prepared wine on the table and filled it up for the two of them.

Shui Minyu toasted: "Come on! Cousin, I respect you! After I go to school, Lingxi will ask you to take care of me!"

Shui Minyu is not the kind of little white face who looks weak, his skin is light wheat color, thick eyebrows and big eyes, deep and three-dimensional facial features, due to his diligence in martial arts, his body is strong and imposing, which belongs to the special ability to make people safe type of feeling.

Qin Zhixiao's eyes sparkled with enthusiasm, and a drunken blush appeared on his fair and supple skin: "Okay! Cheers!"

After a few drinks, Qin Zhixiao was unreasonably drunk. Seeing that the time was almost ripe, Shui Minyu said to Liu Lu: "You go back first, lest you stay out for too long and make Shui Linglong suspicious."

Liu Lu felt a sense of disappointment in her heart, the young master was so drunk that his eyes were dizzy, why didn't he cook rice with her?
Shui Minyu saw Liu Lu's thoughts, stretched out her big calloused palm and slid it into her skirt, caressed her beautiful body with Liu Lu's astonished expression, Liu Lu's body trembled She was so soft that she was about to lean into Shui Minyu's arms, but Shui Minyu suddenly withdrew her hand to hold her shoulder, and said with a half smile, "Cousin is still here."

When Qin Zhixiao heard Shui Minyu calling him, he raised his head reluctantly, just as he saw Shui Minyu taking his hand out of Liu Lu's clothes, his eyes turned cold, and subconsciously wanted to remind Shui Minyu to stop Liu Lu's way , When the words came to his lips, he felt a little guilty.

A trace of panic flashed across Liu Lu's eyes, and her eyelashes blinked quickly, which made Qin Zhixiao suddenly vigilant. Liu Lu seemed to feel Qin Zhixiao's gaze, and raised her eyes to look at him, her eyes met. There was a strange spark in the air, Liu Lu hurriedly looked away, saluted the two, and then turned and left.

Qin Zhixiao frowned suspiciously, and said thoughtfully, "Cousin, I'll go to the bathroom first."

Shui Minyu wants to scold her mother, but she still has the spirit?You just fall into the latrine and eat dung!

On an empty grassland to the east of Shangshu Mansion, more than twenty people were neatly lined up in three rows, with Mama Du standing beside them.

Mama Wang walked back and forth, stopped when she was facing the center, and said in a loud voice: "You are all the old lady's confidantes. Today, the old lady has an important task for you to do! There must be ghosts in our mansion. You have heard it, but the old lady suspects that it is not evil spirits, but villains! Since they play ghosts, they must have props to play ghosts, and your task is to search them out! Pay special attention to the bloody ones Things like clothes, hair, long nails! Of course, these are just what I can think of, in short, as long as you find something suspicious, you will detain it from me! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"Enter the yard and hold the token. Naturally, someone will cooperate with you!" Mama Wang pointed to a muscular man, "You, go search the yard of the young master."

The man pouted: "Can I go and search Missy's yard?"

Wang Mama glared at him incredulously: "Idiot! You men can enter Qianjin's yard casually?"

After pouring Yexiang for a few days, it stinks like it was fished out of a cesspool, but I still can't see her!He was wronged to death!
In Lingxiang Courtyard, Shui Linglong was practicing calligraphy, when suddenly, a Taoist shouted from outside the door: "The monster has escaped! Search me room by room!"

Mama Zhong turned pale in astonishment: "This... miss, you want to search your boudoir too?"

"It's okay, Taoist boy, not an ordinary man, if they want to search, let them search, if I guess right, they should also be accompanied by the maid in the old lady's yard." Shui Minyu gave it to Yang Daxian 1000 taels of silver, but the old lady gave the other party 2000 taels. May I ask, who will Yang Daxian listen to?Shui Linglong pushed open the window, leaned to the side, smiled lightly, "It's such a beautiful day, wouldn't it be a pity not to go to the theater?"

The work of "catching ghosts" was in full swing. Almost at the same time, all the important yards were searched closely. After the search was completed and it was confirmed that there was no problem, the Taoists would lift the ban on the yards. Gradually, there were more pedestrians on the road. After all, the masters didn't have lunch seriously.Shui Linglong didn't bother to wait, so she went directly to the Fushouyuan to find the old lady for a meal.

Knowing that she loves spicy food, the old lady specially ordered the dining room to make a plate of chopped pepper fish head, a plate of spicy chicken, a plate of hot and sour cabbage, and stew her favorite sweet corn soup.

Shui Linglong was full, and the old lady saw that she was eating well, so she ate half a bowl of rice more than usual.

After rinsing her mouth, the old lady smiled and said: "The investigation is almost done, it must be really haunted, and it has nothing to do with others."

Shui Linglong raised her eyebrows, and was about to speak when Wang's mother opened the curtain in a panic and came in. When she saw Shui Linglong, she was startled for a while, and then looked at the old lady in embarrassment.Shui Linglong held the teacup in both hands and drank quietly. The old lady glanced at her, her eyes flickered, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Ms. Wang swallowed her saliva, and tremblingly said: "No...no...it's not good...old lady! Something...has happened!"

Yanlanxuan, a secluded courtyard north of Shangshu Mansion, has planted a large number of exotic flowers, and occasionally people come to pick flowers, so it is clean and elegant even if no one lives there.At this time, the moon is full, the wind is high, and the fragrance of flowers is blowing and lingering.

However, the old lady was not in the mood to appreciate the flowers, the candles in the porch were brightly lit, the age spots on her face were clearly visible, those wrinkled eyes stared at the traces of filth and disorder in the room, and along the way she gave a frightened look. The fierce look of people, yes, if she could, she really wanted to slap the people inside to death!
In the room, there was a strong smell of alcohol, Shui Lingyu was full of tears, and curled up pitifully in the corner, covering her disheveled body with a quilt, her white legs were exposed, and mottled bloodstains were faintly visible.

Beside her was Qin Zhixiao who was so drunk that he didn't even take off his shirt, and his trousers were only down to his ankles.

It shows that he "acts" in a hurry, and maybe he is completely compulsive.

"What's going on here? Shui Lingyu, tell me clearly!" The old lady was furious. When something like this happened while she was in charge of the house, it was tantamount to slapping her hard and slapping her face. no deposit.In particular, one of the people who did such dirty things was her granddaughter, and the other was the grandson of her in-laws. Are they planning to piss her off?
When Aunt Feng got the news, she immediately left Shui Ling and came here. When she entered the door, she just heard the old lady's thunderclap. Aunt Feng was so frightened that she almost fell down the steps. She stabilized her mind and entered the room to salute the old lady: "The servant girl pays respects to the old lady, and the old lady is blessed."

The old lady frowned coldly: "Wanfu? You deliberately came here to anger me, didn't you? Giving birth to this kind of daughter will cause trouble for me, and I wish I could die?!"

"My maid doesn't dare!" Aunt Feng knelt on the ground.

The old lady waved her hands impatiently: "I haven't dressed her yet!"
