After waiting for a long time, Fu Qiuning and others did not go out. Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao had a holiday this afternoon and finished their homework early. They were not in the study at the moment, but slept in their own rooms, being taken care of by Yu Niang. , so Fu Qiuning and Yu Jie never left the house.
After waiting for an hour, if he didn't show up, everyone in Fengxuan would turn off the lights and go to sleep. Yang Ming had no choice but to float down from the wall, let out a high-pitched ghost cry, and then floated back to the room.
Sure enough, this ghost cry caught Fu Qiuning's attention. He also succeeded in frightening all the people in Wanfengxuan who were not sleeping. It's just that everyone is trembling and huddled in the room, not daring to go out. Some of the timid ones simply put the blanket over their heads, just like the pheasant who cares about the head and tail.
It's a pity that Fu Qiuning is not one of them. Not only that, she always felt that this matter seemed weird, so regardless of Yu Jie's obstruction, she casually put on a silver-red cloak over her middle coat and walked out of the house.
Yujie was indeed frightened to death, but how long would he be able to protect the Lord unfaithfully at this time? So she tremblingly took Fu Qiuning's hand and followed her out. She looked so bearded that it was more like her master protecting her than her master.
"What kind of evil spirit is causing trouble here? Haven't you already burned the paper money?" Fu Qiuning walked into the courtyard and asked in a deep voice. The cry just now was indeed a ghost cry, otherwise the wind would never have made such a high-pitched sound, not to mention it was late spring, where could such a north wind come from? .
Yang Ming worked very hard and floated in front of her again. He pinched his throat and said sadly: "I won't die with my eyes in peace... I won't die with my eyes in peace..." As he said this, he spat "Bah, bah, bah, bah" in his heart, secretly praying to God. I prayed, saying in my heart that I was sharing the Lord's worries, and God must make it clear that this is not a curse, but don't let me die in peace anytime in the future... Bah, bah, bah, you crow's mouth...
"Will you die with your eyes closed?" Fu Qiuning frowned, wondering if it was really the soul of the concubine who was found guilty of adultery in this courtyard and was thrown into the pond? Thinking of this, he said: "So what if you die with your eyes closed? Are you here because you want my help? Are you short of money or something? If I can help, I will try my best." Alas! For the sake of everyone being women, just do what you can.
What...what's going on? Want to help a ghost? Yang Ming almost fell from the tree, thinking that I have learned a lot now, that there is such a woman in this world. Looking up at the room opposite, I saw that the young Marquis was struggling upwards. Apparently, he almost fell out of the room because of his wife's words.
"I won't die with my eyes closed... I won't die with my eyes closed..." Yang Ming no longer knew how to react, so he could only repeat these two sentences in a high voice.
"What's the point of just shouting there? Do you think you can rest in peace after shouting a few times?" Fu Qiuning was a little impatient and thought to himself that since he had done something, he had to have the courage to bear the consequences. What's going on with him running out to scare people like this? I'm not afraid of you, but the servants in this courtyard are afraid. The ancient people's reverence for ghosts and gods is very remarkable. Let alone the ancient people, even in modern times, aren't most people afraid of this thing
Yang Ming was almost crying, thinking, what can I do if I don't cry? Young Lord Marquis, can't you send a message into the secret and tell me what to do next? Oh, yes, if the young prince has this skill, he can probably pretend to be a ghost himself.
Just when Yang Ming was so worried that he almost hit his head against a tree, Fu Qiuning sat down on the steps and sighed: "I know, you are the wronged soul in this yard, right?"
What is Yang Ming thinking? Is there really an innocent soul in the Wanfengxuan of the Hou Mansion? He was at his wits' end now. Since Fu Qiuning had found a step, there was no reason not to get off the slope. So he nodded quickly and screamed: "It's me, and I will never die with my eyes in peace..."
"Don't scream. I've already said that if you scream, won't you die with your eyes open?" Fu Qiuning interrupted him impatiently. He suddenly seemed stunned as if he remembered something. He turned to Yu Jie and asked: "Yu Jie, look at what she is." ghost?"
Facts have proved that having someone around you who can stay calm at all times is very helpful in increasing your courage. At least now Yu Jie is not as scared as before. She carefully identified the ghost standing on the branch, and said suspiciously: "Look at the long tongue, it must be a hanged ghost, right?"
Yang Ming felt a deep sense of despair. He was so good at pretending to be a ghost and scaring people. He really felt that there was no need to continue. If he continued to play, it would not be certain who would scare whom.
However, the young Marquis opposite him had no intention of getting up. It was obvious that he was asked to continue acting. Yang Ming was too embarrassed to run away like this, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue standing on the branch. Fortunately, the branch was soft and he followed. The branches floated up and down, looking like ghosts floating around.
But he heard Fu Qiuning on the opposite side say in confusion: "The hanged ghost? That's not right. Isn't the concubine in this yard sinking into the pond? She should be a water ghost. How could there be a hanged ghost?" Fu Qiuning looked not far away in confusion. Yang Ming: "Ghost girl, are you sure you didn't go to the wrong place?"
What? Shen Tang? Concubine? Yang Ming immediately pricked up his ears. It is human nature to like gossip. Just when he was secretly shouting that he didn't expect such a thing to happen in the Hou Mansion, Fu Qiuning's last words poured cold water on Duotou.
If I say now that I have gone to the wrong place, can I escape unscathed? Yang Ming hesitated, looked at the young Marquis again, and found that he had disappeared on the roof, obviously knowing that the situation was over. Yang Ming secretly gave a thumbs up, thinking that he was indeed the young Marquis, and his grasp of the timing was simply superb. If this is the case, then I should withdraw quickly.
"Grandma, she...she's leaving now?" Yu Jie watched in surprise from behind as the ghost flew out with a "whoosh", her eyes widened: "Really...is she really gone? Is it possible?" Did you really go to the wrong place?" Looking at his grandma, there were countless little stars twinkling in Yu Jie's eyes: I really admire my grandma so much that she actually sent away a ghost like this. The ghost is really real. Ghost.
Fu Qiuning had no thoughts of Yu Jie at this time. She thought in her heart, secretly thinking, why is this thing so weird? Since he is a ghost, why are he standing so far away? Isn’t it said in supernatural novels that ghosts like to float around? But apart from seeing her floating twice, I never saw her again. What's more, she floated a little too fast. She came here in a whoosh and passed by in a whoosh. Do ghosts float like this? Shouldn't it all be drifting slowly
"Okay, go back to the house and sleep. If you are scared, sleep with me."
Fu Qiuning stood up. The more he thought about it, the more weird he felt about it. He seemed to vaguely sense something in his mind, but he couldn't catch it. I had to put it down for the time being, stand up and go back to the house with Yu Jie to sleep.
The next day, rumors of a ghost spread in Wanfengxuan. Of course, Yujie would not miss this opportunity to promote his master's fearless image. He told the servants vividly, which only made everyone's jaws drop in surprise. fell down.
So, when Jin Fengju set foot in Wanfengxuan again in the evening, he finally lived up to his expectations and heard the comments of the servants who were sweeping the yard.
"What? There is a ghost in Wanfengxuan?" The young Marquis frowned, looking worried: "Are you sure? How can there be a ghost in such a good place? Could it be that this is an ominous place?"
The two servants immediately raised their chests: "It's okay, it's okay, little Marquis, don't worry, the ghost and the Second Mistress ran away after less than two words. So the servants are not afraid, Wan Fengxuan Feng shui is very good, it must be very good, otherwise how could there be such smart and brave people as the second mistress and the young master?"
Jinfeng held up a mouthful of blood and couldn't spit it out. He almost suffered internal injuries. He never expected that Fu Qiuning's positive role would be so powerful. For a moment, I felt so full that I couldn't say anything. I secretly blamed Yang Ming in my heart, thinking, didn't you tell me that you were just going to do it? Qiu Ning said you were in the wrong place, so you pretended to be in the wrong place and retreated. Why did you end up running away now? God, I've totally embarrassed you.
Gritting his teeth secretly in his heart, he came to Wanfengxuan and saw Fu Qiuning lowering his head to read a book. When he saw him coming, he hurriedly put down the book, stood up with a smile and said: "The little Marquis is here? Yujie, pour some tea."
"What book are you reading?" Jin Fengju glanced at the book curiously. He has been to Wanfengxuan so many times and has never seen Fu Qiuning reading. Usually she is doing work or embroidering, so today I saw her reading. I can't help but be a little curious.
"It's just some strange news." Fu Qiuning replied with a smile.
Jin Fengju nodded and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Wanfengxuan is haunted. What is going on?"
"I just read a book that said that even if there are ghosts in this world, they are separated by yin and yang. Most of the so-called ghosts are pretended by people. What's more, they simply live in people's hearts, so there is a saying of 'ghosts in the heart', What do you think, young marquis?" Fu Qiuning said as he personally took out the teacup from the tea tray held by Yu Jie and placed it in front of Jin Fengju, looking at him with watery eyes.
Not sure if it was because of a guilty conscience, but Jin Fengju felt that Fu Qiuning's gaze was particularly sharp, as if he could see through everything. His heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. He smiled slightly and said, "Qiu Ning is right, so many people scare themselves, but these servants in Wanfengxuan may have been influenced by you. , all of them are quite courageous."
