Inside the shrine!
She clearly saw that there were many ranks in the center of the ancestral hall, and there was a small shelf in the top center, as if something had been enshrined on it before, but at the moment, it was empty.
Just as she was thinking, a gust of wind suddenly blew out the two candlesticks in the ancestral hall.
How unlucky!
It was difficult to find a fire that could light the candlestick, and now it has been blown out again.
She was worrying in her heart when a shadow suddenly flashed behind her. Soon, she couldn't see it when she turned her head immediately.
This is too weird!
Of course, she is atheist, no ghost!
In this world, there is no such thing as ghosts and gods, so she doesn't believe in Buddhism either.
Just when she was wondering, when she turned around, a person suddenly appeared in front of her!
A vicissitudes of life suddenly enlarged in front of her!
"Uh."
Ji Yunshu admitted that he was really taken aback.
He staggered back a few steps involuntarily.
"Don't be afraid, sir."
The person who came was an old woman about fifty or sixty years old. She hunched her back and held a candlestick in her hand. The faint firelight trembled in the air.
According to her wrinkled face.
"You are?"
"I'm Granny Lin, who guards the ancestral hall. Seeing that the candlelight inside was blown out by the wind, I came over to light it again." As she said, she went to light the lamp.
Ji Yunshu was really frightened!
She doesn't believe in gods or ghosts, but when people are frightened, they will frighten people to death.
"Mother Lin, are you usually the only one in this ancestral hall?"
"I am the only one at night. Those girls don't dare to stay in the ancestral hall at night, so I will guard them. Tell me, what can there be in this ancestral hall?"
Yes!
can have what
Ji Yunshu asked, "By the way, why did you come all the way next, did you not see anyone?"
Granny Lin had already lit the lamp and looked at her, "The house is not very peaceful recently, and everyone dare not go out at night, so they went back to the house early to rest."
I see!
"Not quite?"
"It's haunted."
She smiled, "What kind of ghost is there in this world! It's all people's minds doing the trick."
"Sir, you will think this way, but others won't. There is a ghost in the heart of people, and that ghost can't be exorcised no matter what."
"A ghost in a human heart?"
"Isn't there a ghost in Mr.'s heart?"
Uh!
The ghost in her heart!
"What a person is most afraid of, that thing is a ghost. Everyone has something to fear, so everyone has a ghost in their hearts." Granny Lin has been in the ancestral hall for many years, so she must have understood this.
Ji Yunshu nodded: "Mother Lin said yes."
Granny Lin narrowed her eyes, "I'll take Mr. back to the house."
"No need, just borrow the next lantern, it's getting late, mother-in-law should rest early.
"It's alright, it's fine for my old family to walk around a lot. The mansion is too big, and I'm worried that Mr. will get lost."
then-
Granny Lin found a lantern and sent Ji Yunshu all the way back to the house. After lighting the lamp in her house, she left another fire pleat.
"Every time at night, especially in the second half of the night, the candle light is easily blown out by the wind. Remember to close the window, sir."
"Thank you."
"Then don't bother Mr.
Granny Lin took the lantern and left.
The whole Hou Mansion is really weird.
She didn't think about it any further, and took a rest.
The next day, Lord Kang ordered someone to set the banquet.
A table of chicken, duck, fish, and everything.
It's not stingy!
But Tang Si, who has always been unable to bear the sight of delicious food, changed his normal behavior.
She sat there listlessly, staring blankly at the thing in front of her.
Ji Yunshu happened to be sitting next to her, so he reached out and poked her and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
She took a deep breath, "I haven't slept all night."
"why?"
"There have been people knocking on the door, but as soon as I opened the door, there was nothing." Her voice was soft and weak.
Hearing this, Ji Yunshu frowned and said, "You mean, someone knocked on your door all night?"
"Yeah, I don't know if it's that bad naughty guy. As soon as I got to bed and lay down, she would knock on the door. If I didn't open the door, he would keep knocking and laughing. How could there be a child? Going to bed, knocking on someone else's door at night? Are you sick? It really pisses me off."
She clenched her fists and punched the table softly and weakly.
Just when the fist fell, it attracted everyone's attention, and Mo Ruo glared at her from the opposite side, "You eat as much as you want, what kind of temper do you have?"
Lord Kang asked, "Miss Tang, is the food not to your taste? If you don't like it, I will have someone cook it for you again."
"No!" She complained resentfully, "I said, Marquis, why are the children in your house so naughty? Last night, I knocked on my door no less than fifty times. I was almost exhausted. Knock on the door, there is not even a ghost, who is it? You hand over that child, I have to teach him a good lesson." She gritted her teeth.
In an instant, Lord Kang and the surrounding servants were all cold for a while.
Um
How is this going
Jing Rong, Ji Yunshu, Moruo and Tang Si didn't understand what happened!
And a good banquet has become very dignified.
I only heard Kang Hou Ye sighed heavily, "A sin!"
Um
And after he finished speaking, he suddenly looked at Ji Yunshu again, "Mr. Ji, this matter... may trouble you."
Um
What's the meaning
Jing Rong asked, "Master Kang, can you clarify?"
In fact, Lord Kang has long planned to reveal this matter—
"To be honest, actually..." He sighed, "Actually, I should have said yesterday that my most beloved baby is gone."
Beloved baby
The most beloved treasure of Lord Kang is the golden armor given to him by the emperor.
Jing Rong was bored, "Isn't the Marquis' golden armor still there?"
"It's a pair of shoes!"
puff!
Someone laughed out loud, that was Tang Si, she said, "A pair of shoes? Are they made of gold? But Lord Hou, I see that your mansion is resplendent, and it seems that there is no shortage of gold."
That's right.
Moruo glared at her and reminded her in a low voice, "Listen to Hou Ye's words, don't interrupt."
"Oh." She responded.
And Ji Yunshu upheld his professional ethics, straightened his face, and asked Kang Houye, "I don't know what kind of shoes would make the Houye so troubled? Who is it related to who knocked on Miss Tang's door?"
Lord Kang sighed again.
Looking at Ji Yunshu with a sad face, "If it weren't for the loss of your shoes, I wouldn't bother you, Mr. Ji."
Um
She asked, "I don't understand what Marquis means, please speak directly."
