Chapter 62
"Okay, you guys can't sit still anyway, Xianxian, you take Yanyan to your yard for a meeting, mother and your Aunt Lu catch up on the old days."

Mo Yan received a meeting gift from the Liu family. It is a set of hollow and carved jewelry, the material is average, but this workmanship, even the most powerful craftsman in Kyoto, may not have such skill.It is said that this was done by a Dawu craftsman. A few years ago, when he was bartering in the north of Dayue, there was a bizarre murder case. At that time, Mr. Wei, who was the magistrate of the county, helped this person clear his grievances. Finely crafted jewelry.

Wei Zixian's small courtyard only has three main rooms, but the Wei family is considered a big family, quite famous in the north, and has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years. Although the place is not big, there are seven or eight maids and wives alone. more than double that.

"Yanyan, please call me Sister Wei or Xianxian."

Wei Zixian is a cheerful person, and soon became acquainted. She left Beidi with her parents and arrived in Luzhou for more than a month. She had no acquaintance with her sisters and was detained in the mansion all day. It was very boring. Today Finally, she could see someone of the same age, and she wanted to talk to Mo Yan.

"Sister Wei."

Mo Yan nodded. This Wei Zixian's name was completely opposite to her personality. If she called her "Xianxian", it would always be unspeakably awkward.

The two entered the side hall, and the servant girl closed the doors and windows in a well-trained manner, drew up the window screens, set up an ice basin, served tea, snacks and other snacks, and then retreated after saluting in unison.I heard that Aunt Liu used to be the daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Punishment. She came from a high-ranking family. As the head of the house, the maids and mother-in-law in the house were well trained in etiquette.

"Yanyan, I like these, and the cook gets up early in the morning to make them."

Jiangmi noodles, Shaqima, etc., are all the food of the Northland. Maybe the workmanship is not so meticulous, but the taste is the best. The thin rice noodles are crispy, covered with a layer of icing sugar and sesame seeds, and they are sweet and delicious to chew.

"You don't buy many of these snacks in Kyoto."

Mo Yan ate several glutinous rice sticks in a row and praised them repeatedly.In Kyoto, the dishes and cakes are all exquisitely crafted. Whether it is the cooks in Ye Mansion or Chen Guogong's mansion, the dim sum is mainly made with exquisiteness. I can't bear to break the beauty.The food in the north is different, rougher, and the emphasis is on the taste, each has its own advantages.

The decoration in the side hall is magnificent and there are many antique calligraphy and paintings. Mo Yan looked around and nodded frequently. From here, she could see the background of the Wei family. She felt that it was almost impossible for someone from a poor family to climb to a high position. Zhongchen also relied on marrying his mother and relying on the big tree of grandpa to get the favor of the emperor.

"Yanyan, mother said that she was in the capital and went to the girls' school every day to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Do you all go there?"

Wei Zixian lives in Beidi, and often goes to the yamen for a stroll. Women are not allowed to show their faces, and they don't pay much attention to these things. This time when I came to Luzhou, the customs and customs are different. There are very few women hanging out on the street. Men and women are very strict in defense. Make her a little uncomfortable.

A few days ago, mother-in-law Liu taught her that she was about to reach the age of engagement, and she must not be as reckless as before. Even if she doesn't know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting, women have to learn the most basic female celebrity, and it is impossible to rely on maids for everything. do it.

Wei Zixian has been in depression recently because of this matter. As long as those silver needles are held in her hands, they will surely pierce her fingers. Don't see much blood, but it will hurt for a long time.So she was very curious about how the daughters in Kyoto learned such a tormenting thing.

"I did not go."

Mo Yan clenched her fist and coughed lightly twice.Kyoto Women's School is indeed a good place, but the former is wayward and an idiot, and has always been uninterested in those things. He goes to poetry fairs and flower fairs just to make up for the number of people.

"Really, what do you do every day at the mansion?"

Wei Zixian didn't see Mo Yan's embarrassment at all, and was still inquiring with great interest, "What's the point of being a girl student? We'll get married in the future and manage the affairs of the family. How can we be so leisurely reciting poems?"

"This... I read medical books."

Mo Yan was very embarrassed and really didn't know how to answer.She can lie and deceive at will when facing pig teammates, but Wei Zixian is different, she is a lively and sincere girl, she should be quite favored in the family, so she acts a bit selfish, but it does not arouse people's disgust.

"real!"

Wei Zixian's eyes lit up, and her slender eyebrows narrowed into crescent moons again. She stood up, grabbed the handkerchief and walked around the inner room for a few times, seeming to be a little tangled up. Finally, she felt a slap in the face, stomped her feet, and entered the inner room , a moment later, carefully holding something covered in a red cloth.

"Yanyan, I'll show you my baby, but don't be scared."

Wei Zixian, who had always been generous and unpretentious, suddenly became shy, and it wasn't until Mo Yan nodded firmly that she stepped forward and uncovered the red cloth.A skull appeared in front of the two, the eyes were endless black holes, and the teeth protruded from the bottom, even though it was daylight, it still looked piercing.

"This……"

Mo Yan has experienced many battles, so he didn't respond to a small skull. Besides, this thing is obviously not a human bone, it seems to be made of plaster or something like that.

"Yanyan, aren't you afraid?"

Wei Zixian blinked, and stared at Mo Yan curiously at first. After a while, a look of ecstasy appeared on her face, she stepped forward and grabbed Mo Yan's hand, and said excitedly, "Good sister, you are really my confidant!"

When she was in Beidi before, Wei Zixian followed the policeman to the scene of the crime, but the body was old and her head had turned into a skeleton. Exactly the same, as a decoration.

Occasionally, the sisters from Beidi came to the house to talk to her, and they would scream in fright when they saw this weird ornament. It wasn't that obvious. Wei Zixian was hit hard, but she still couldn't bear it. This time the whole family went south, and she couldn't bear to throw it away. They usually put it in the bedroom and covered it with a red cloth.

"It looks empty inside."

Mo Yan took the skull and touched it in a good mood. Even though it was fake, it was enjoyable. The real human skull in the forensic medicine class in the previous life almost couldn't remember the feeling of touch.
