Cold Palace’s Abandoned Consort

I frowned slightly: "What is Lao Zhu doing outside?"

"He's Sammy!"

"Sami ?!"

"Yeah, I spilled all the way from the inside of the house. I didn't see it at first. I thought he was cleaning. I took a closer look and found out that he was holding a bowl of rice in his hand and spread it out the door. "

"..."

My brow frowned.

Cai Wei's face reflected in the bronze mirror was also slightly white. She looked at me with a horrified expression, and said gently, "Mrs., isn't something wrong with this house?"

"..."

Hard to say.

The folk has such a custom. If there is something unclean in the house, you must prepare a bowl of rice and start to sprinkle it all the way from the house, all the way out to the gate, and when you close the door, that thing is driven away; generally if the family is new When you move into a house, you have to do this, either Sammy or salt, which means to drive away evil spirits.

Lao Zhu Da at the outside at night, does it say--

"Ma'am, isn't it haunted in this house?"

When Cai Wei trembled and said these words, she seemed to be scared, her face pale.

I frowned and didn't speak. We just moved in. We do n’t know if there is any problem in this house, but Lao Zhu is always here to guard him. If he still has Sammy at night, it seems to him. There is something dirty in this house.

No wonder, when I was outside the door, I felt that it was very deserted. After I came in, I felt that it was not very popular. Previously, Liu Qinghan said that Lao Zhu was a family guarding the house here, but now he is the only one. People, everyone else is gone. Is this also the reason?

I asked, "Have you asked him?"

"No, I don't dare to pass by.

"What else did he do after he sprinkled rice?"

"I didn't do anything. I just stood by the door with my hands folded and worshiped. I kept thinking about it in my mouth, and I didn't understand what he was thinking about, always thinking about Buddha."

She said, watching me carefully: "Madam, this house is so cold, I feel it at the door."

I looked back at her with a smile: "Are you afraid?"

"Uh……"

She didn't speak, but she was really scared to see her shrinking. I laughed and said, "Ghosts are afraid of righteousness. If people are not evil, there is nothing to be afraid of."

"That's what it says ..."

"Okay," I smiled helplessly: "If you're really scared, don't go on, just sleep outside my room. But it's cold."

As soon as she heard me let her sleep in my room, she almost jumped up with joy and hurriedly waved, "I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid of being cold."

It means only afraid of ghosts.

I couldn't help laughing, when she broke my hair bun and carefully combed it with a comb, she went to the private room and took her own bedding and pillows. I watched her happily Looked, suddenly laughed, but then thought about it, and looked at the dark and dim house in front of me.

Just arrived today. In the entire house, there are only Lao Zhu, me, Cai Wei and the driver sleeping in the lower room. Because of the haste, I haven't had the time to buy a girl, and the gangs that I said to be hired have not come to do it yet. In a large courtyard, there was almost no sound. Only the wind blew the bamboo leaves around the walls, making rustling sounds. The bamboo was shaking and the shadows were mottled, so it looked like a lot of ghosts and horrors.

But I just watched, listening to the sound of footsteps far away, either Cai Wei's or Lao Zhu's.

Is it really haunted in this house?

Does this matter, Liu Qinghan? I don't think he knew it. If he knew it, he would not easily give me an unclean house, and even if it was to me, he would tell me in advance.

but--

I frowned slightly, looking at the dark shadow in front of me.

Is this house really haunted?

|

Although I had such an uneasy thought before going to bed, even after lying in bed for a long time, I could still hear the sound of Cai Wei rolling about uneasily on the couch outside, but I couldn't sleep, but my heart was wide, even, sleeping Better than usual.

When I opened my eyes, it was already bright.

Cai Wei had already sorted it out by herself, sitting by the side waiting for me, and when I saw that I was awake, I ran over immediately: "Madam, are you awake?"

"Ok."

It's rare to sleep so comfortably. I didn't feel any chaos. I stood up and sat up. She hurried to bring me clothes and put it on, and said with a smile: "Madam sleeps really well. Old Zhu came here before , Madam didn't wake up. "

"What is he doing here?"

"He said that there was no cook in this house because he was always guarding him. He was afraid that his wife would not be used to eating. He would go back to the street and buy some snacks for his wife."

"Oh?" I nodded as I put on my clothes. "He did his best."

"But it wasn't long before the people in the palace gave food."

"..."

I raised my brow, but said nothing.

Of course, I know that my whereabouts cannot be kept secret. Yang Wanyun is still polite to me and cannot do anything biased to me in the face of Pei Yuanzhang. Even this driver, he gave it to me. How much? There is also a line left in the middle. I know it well, but I'm disrespectful. Some things are on the table, but they are not good.

I asked, "Well, did Lao Zhu go shopping?"

"Still bought it, and bought a lot."

"Oh."

"You can put it now, I'm afraid it will be cold."

I coughed quietly and didn't speak.

Cai Wei continued: "But—"

"But what?"

"I got up in the morning and went out to take a look, and found that all the places where he had sprinkled rice in the yard were cleaned, and there was no rice in the doorway."

"Oh?"

"Just like nothing else, if I hadn't seen it last night, I wouldn't have known the house ... haunted."

The more she said the lower the voice, as if she was afraid of something, I smiled and said, "Did you ask him?"

"No." She managed the sleeves and collar for me, and whispered, "My wife didn't tell me, and I didn't dare to talk."

I smiled.

After the clothes were put on, Cai Wei went down and brought me a basin of hot water. After washing, we went out and went to the dining room. Sure enough, I saw that the table was full of dishes and covered with lids. I'm afraid it's going to be cold, but it's already cold like this. Next to the small table are several familiar delicate chicken-wing woodcarved food boxes.

As soon as we walked by, we saw Lao Zhu coming over holding a steaming porcelain basin. When he saw me, he hurriedly saluted: "Miss is up."

My face turned red. After all, this adult is so lazy, but Laizhu is probably a bit embarrassed. However, Lao Zhu probably was afraid of me being embarrassed. I wo n’t mention it, but only said that the porridge I bought from the restaurant was hot again. Use it first. I also followed the good advice and drank a bowl of porridge, but I don't know why it feels so good.

And those food containers, Cai Wei did not need me to order, after using breakfast, I took it down.

I rinsed my mouth with tea and sat in the hall with hot tea. Old Zhu respectfully stood next to me. I smiled and said, "Yesterday I forgot to ask you, in the past, did Mr. Liu live in this house? ? "

He replied, "I lived, but I only lived for a short period of time, and everything was not matched. Later, the emperor gave a house elsewhere to the owner, and he came less often."

"The emperor gave him another house? Where?"

"I heard that it's over to Xingqingfang, the boss's house, not many people in Beijing can afford it. However, after the owner's accident, it seems to be accepted."

I nodded, and then laughed: "Lao Zhu, since you have been here, I will tell you, now that I am here, I will be here for the time being. Although there are few people in the family, I ca n’t It's too deserted, it's too deserted, it's not popular, do you mean? "

Lao Zhu glanced at me, looking a little stunned, and nodded hurriedly.

"I'll buy some cooks and aunts and come back from the nursing home. Your old man has been doing this for a long time. If you still want to continue doing this, then I will worry about it; if you have other meanings, I will not prevent you from raising Every day. "

Lao Zhu busy said: "Where does the young lady say? Where does the old slave come with that blessing. Just ask the young lady to enjoy a bowl of rice to eat."

"That being the case, that's fine."

He looked at me indifferently, and I went on to say, "But if there is anything in the house, you should say it earlier. I am the master of the house, and the thing I don't like the most is being hidden.

As soon as I heard this, Lao Zhu immediately understood and came to her knees hurriedly.

"Miss, don't be surprised."

I sat there calmly and looked at him with a smile.

The old Zhu trembled and said, "Miss, don't blame it. The old slave definitely didn't mean to harm the lady. This house-the house is a good house. Only recently, something is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"It's okay at other times. Sometimes, at night, when the wind is blowing, I hear someone crying."

"Somebody is crying?"

"Yes, sometimes crying is all night."

"Who is crying? Have you found it?"

"Miss is strange. Although Lao Zhu is cautious, but her legs and feet are not as sharp as those of young people, the voice floats around, and the house is so big that you can't take care of it here."

"That voice is always young, male or female?"

"It's-I can't hear you, it's sobbing all night, it's so scary!"

I frowned slightly.

I didn't expect that this house would be really haunted.

Lao Zhu went on to say: "Later, I heard people say that this house-someone has died in the past."

"..."

"However, miss, although the ghost cried every night, it did not do any evil. The old slave stayed here for so long, and did not even hurt her hair. And the old slave thought, just because the owner has n’t Come, the house is less popular and naturally a little bit sullen. Now the lady lives with someone and buys some maidservants. There are more people in the house. With popularity, you are not afraid of any ghosts. "
