after marrying stepbrother

Chapter 50 Miss Weird

Chapter 50 Miss Weird

There was only the last short piece of candle left in the room, and then the whole room was plunged into darkness.

Lin Yuesha still felt a little uncomfortable in the unfamiliar environment, even if it was very comfortable, she was always vigilant, for fear that there would be something tricky in it.

For some reason, she always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark.

That's right, that line of sight, very focused.

Could it be that the Jiang Mansion is haunted?

Thinking of this, Lin Yuesha's hairs stood on end. She closed her eyes and pursed her lips, and hesitated to open her eyes to take a look, but she was worried that she would see something she shouldn't see, and she was very entangled.

"Forget it, go all out!"

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, could it be that the strange sight still hasn't left.

Lin Yuesha was like a thorn in her back, after a battle between heaven and man, she decided to open her eyes and take a look, otherwise she would definitely not be able to sleep this night.

Prepared mentally and prepared to be frightened, Lin Yuesha opened her eyes.

The lantern hanging in front of the courtyard had been extinguished, and with the light of the snow, the inner room was not so dark. A white shadow with disheveled hair was sitting beside Lin Yuesha's bed.

Lin Yuesha: "..."

"who are you?"

The white-clothed woman's face was pale, her lips were so pale that no color could be seen, no matter how she looked at it in the dark night, she looked creepy.

Lin Yuesha rolled on the bed twice, keeping a safe distance, and seeing that the woman in white didn't answer, she asked again in a crying voice, "What the hell are you?"

The servants of the Jiang family were very polite to her. They arranged such a good house on the first day. It couldn't be because of the haunting, right?
A young lady from a certain wealthy family resisted to the death because of a forced marriage, and was finally hanged in the house by a rope.

After Lin Yuesha made up her mind, she felt even more terrifying. She stared, trying to see if there were purple strangle marks on the female ghost's neck.

Jiang Baozhu who was mistaken for a female ghost: "..."

I heard Xiaoxi's girl said that her parents found someone for her again, and she didn't know how many people they changed in the past few years, which made her very upset.

There were extra people in the yard, which made Jiang Baozhu feel unsafe. She couldn't sleep at night, so she went to the wing to have a look, but unexpectedly she was considered a female ghost.

Resisting the urge to roll her eyes, Jiang Baozhu lit an oil lamp, pointed to Lin Yuesha's shadow on the wall, and then, in Lin Yuesha's surprise, left quietly.

"It's not a female ghost, but it's more terrifying than a female ghost."

After being away for a long time, Lin Yuesha realized that she was covered in cold sweat and her body was sticky.

In this yard, apart from the dumb woman, there is only Jiang Baozhu.Xiaoxi's parents are also servants of the family, and she will go home at night.

Then, the female ghost in white was undoubtedly Jiang Baozhu.

Lin Yuesha went to the tea room to get a big bucket of hot water to rinse, and drank a cup of hot tea to calm her nerves. She had a hunch that the two taels of silver that Mr. Jiang gave every month was not so easy to earn.

He was afraid that after a month, he would be assimilated by Jiang Baozhu, or be frightened into a snake spirit by Miss Jiang's elusive presence.

After washing, Lin Yuesha was sleepy again, and slept until dawn.

It was just dawn, and there was a rustling sound in the yard, very rhythmic.

Lin Yuesha didn't dare to sleep late, she went out after washing, and saw the dumb woman cleaning the yard, she nodded to her.

"Sister Lin, you got up so early?"

Lin Yuesha had no work, so she stretched her arms and stretched her legs in the courtyard, trotting to warm up, and she realized that she should have a good body.

"It's late."

If it was in the village, mother Chen would have already fed the chickens and prepared medicine for father.After only leaving for the first day, Lin Yuesha already felt a little homesick.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Sister Lin, I forgot to mention it yesterday."

Xiaoxi rubbed her hands in embarrassment, her daughter usually sleeps until the sun is high, so she doesn't have to wake up so early.

"That's it."

Lin Yuesha nodded, expressing her understanding.But I thought in my heart, why don't I sleep until the sun is three poles, don't sleep in the middle of the night, beating ghosts and scaring people and wandering around, Miss Jiang Baozhu's eccentricity!

On her first day in Jiang's Mansion, Lin Yuesha seemed to have discovered some secret.

The breakfast was delivered by the big kitchen. There were fried buns and vegetable porridge, as well as a few plates of pickled green cucumbers. It was light and refreshing.

The pan-fried buns were filled with meat, and when you took a bite, the inside was greasy. Lin Yuesha ate five of them in one go, with nostalgia in her eyes.

This taste is exactly the same as that produced in Suzhou and Hangzhou by later generations, and she will also make it, but it may not be so authentic.

"Sister Lin, eat more, Master and Madam are very nice and never treat us harshly."

The pan-fried buns are not big, and Xiaoxi can eat ten of them by herself. She went to get breakfast this time, but added one according to her own portion.

"Okay, thank you Xiaoxi."

Lin Yuesha thanked her, not to mention the fright she received last night, the atmosphere in Jiang Mansion is good.

"I went to the kitchen to pick up things in the morning. I heard that Young Master He is coming to the house to see Miss today."

In the ordinary courtyard, it is always quiet.

Jiang Baozhu's silence is golden, the dumb woman can't speak, only Xiaoxi herself, and she is just the age that loves to play, and she panics.

Now that Lin Yuesha came, the happiest thing was Xiaoxi, who finally found someone who could gossip.

"Who is Mr. He?"

Lin Yuesha drank the last mouthful of porridge and was full.

Although it is bitter and cold in the north, the japonica rice produced is much better than that in the south. After cooking for a while, rice oil floats on the surface, which is the most nourishing.

This is the best porridge Lin Yuesha has eaten since she traveled through time. It is all made of round-grained rice, which is soft and waxy, different from the brown rice at home.

After eating and drinking well, she was naturally in a good mood, Lin Yuesha questioned honestly.

"You're asking the right person."

The dumb woman cleaned up the dishes, Xiaoxi pulled Lin Yuesha to the tea room, and took out an oiled paper bag from her sleeve pocket, which contained a large handful of fragrant melon seeds.

"Sister Lin, Mr. He often walks around the house. It seems that the master wants to betroth our young lady to Mr. He!"

Xiaoxi presented the melon seeds, and talked while eating the melon seeds, without any delay in spitting out the melon seeds.

"Master Jiang came to me because he hoped that Miss would be more cheerful."

Lin Yuesha ate a few melon seeds and fried them in a large iron pan. They were delicious, but unfortunately they had no salty taste, and she preferred to eat five-spice melon seeds.

"Mr. He's family is also in business, right?"

Xiaoxi's eyes were shining brightly, and she clearly grasped a series of gossip, waiting for Lin Yuesha to ask questions.

The corner of Lin Yuesha's mouth twitched, so she had no choice but to continue to cooperate with the little girl.

"Young Master He is a scholar, and he has passed the examination of scholar!"

Lin Yuesha asked the key point, Xiaoxi was very excited.

Mr. He's name is He Xing, and his ancestors lived in the north.He Xing's father used to be a clerk in Jiang's shop.

Many years ago, Father He Xing followed Mr. Jiang to the Manzi to sell goods, but was accidentally killed by the Manzi.

At that time, He Xing was only in his early ten years old and had just started school. His family lost their mainstay and it was difficult to make ends meet.

"It was an accident that Mr. He's father had an accident. Our master was kind-hearted and gave him a pension. He also took the initiative to bear the money for Mr. He's study, and took him to live in the house from time to time."

After Xiaoxi finished speaking, she raised her eyebrows proudly.
