In a baby's life, apart from eating and sleeping, no matter how strong the spirit is, it cannot stay awake for too long. However, every time he woke up, there was always a cold wind swirling around him, sometimes blowing the bed curtain, sometimes passing his eyes, and the gloomy chill lingered for a long time. If there are other people in the room, the cold wind will immediately leave Youshu and wrap around that person.
"Hey, it's almost the beginning of summer, why is it so cold in the house?" The nurse clenched her shoulders and shivered.
The little maid who followed her also folded her clothes and said in agreement, "I always feel that there is a yin qi in the eldest young master's room, and it is very uncomfortable after staying for a long time. Mama Wang, do you think the eldest young master has not been reincarnated? Did you bring the ghosts from hell?"
"Damn girl, don't talk nonsense!" The nurse was stern, and quickly opened the swaddling clothes. Seeing that the eldest young master did not urinate, she ran out immediately. The little maid also hurriedly chased after her, stumbled when she came to the door, and injured her knee.
You Shu couldn't see Li Gui's appearance, but he could feel that it had followed the two of them away. These days, it often surrounds itself, but as long as there is someone in the house, it will definitely stick to that person until midnight. What can a ghost attached to a human body do? In addition to taking yang qi, there are other reasons that Shu can't think of, and she is even more certain that it does not pose a threat to the current self, because you are its goal, and if you want to breathe yang qi, the first person to suck is yourself. rather than others.
As a spiritual power user, You Shu is very sensitive to the loss of vitality, but when the cold wind is surrounded, he never feels that his power has been taken away, which shows that Li Gui can't help himself. But this is only temporary. When it absorbs enough yang energy and becomes stronger day by day, the situation may reverse.
You Shu is licking her thumb, her mind and spirit power is her biggest protective shield, so she must hurry up and practice.
What is it like when a little baby meditates? His eyes were dull and he didn't say anything, and the corners of his mouth were still drooling, how he looked like a fool. You Shu will meditate as long as he wakes up, and he doesn't pay attention to whatever happens outside. If the time to sleep is not the time for his body, he even wants to skip sleeping. The two little maids occasionally shook the rattle to tease him, but they never saw him turn his face or laugh, not even blinking his eyes, so it was very strange.
"Mother Wang, the eldest young master seems to be an idiot. No matter how you tease him, he doesn't respond. Shall we ask a doctor to take a look?"
"Look at the doctor, the eldest master doesn't even ask about the eldest young master. Even if the wife mentions a word to him, it will make him furious and contaminate his ears. If you are not afraid of bad luck, you can go, but I don't dare." Cold hands hid in the sleeves. These days, she always feels cold all over for no reason, sleeps deadly at night, but still has no energy during the day, with pale skin and dark circles under her eyes, like a ghost.
Seeing her haggard appearance, the little maid also felt embarrassed, so she responded twice, and never asked the doctor again. But for some reason, the rumor that "the eldest young master is not only a debt collector, but also a fool" began to circulate in the house, making the already struggling main courtyard more and more like walking on thin ice.
Suddenly one day, the nanny and the others were all summoned to the main courtyard. The wife rewarded them with twenty big boards and sold them. In the small courtyard with Shu, an old woman with a big shoulders and a round waist and a ferocious appearance came to be called Mama Song. The day Mama Song came, she heard the eldest young master's cries resounding through half the sky, and hurried into the house to check. The little girl who came with her was only seven or eight years old. She staggered along with a huge package. From a distance, she thought it was a package with long legs.
"Don't cry, eldest young master, the old slave is here." Mama Song carefully picked Youshu up.
Youshu is now six or seven months old. She can turn over, sit up, and crawl. Her little arms and calves are also very energetic. As soon as he was picked up, he was familiar with the way to grope for the front of his clothes, licked his little mouth, and made the action of sucking milk. Due to the long meditation time this time, he accidentally missed two meals of milk. He was quite hungry, and his face couldn't help showing an anxious and urgent expression.
Mother Song looked at his frowning brows and tearful black eyes, and said with admiration, "Who said our eldest young master is a fool?" She lowered the baby and asked the little girl beside her to take a look, and continued, "Look at this small appearance, recruit more people, how could it be a fool."
The little girl's name was Bai Shao, she covered her mouth and smiled, "I look much neater than the second young master, just like our wife."
"That's right," Song's mother seemed to have a close relationship with her wife, and sighed with a reminiscence expression, "I think back then, our wife was the number one beauty in the capital. She was both talented and beautiful, virtuous and virtuous. Hundreds of families came to ask for it. But the master was deceived by others. , actually betrothed her to the hypocrite Wang Xiangqian. Now Wang Xiangqian, relying on the support of the Houfu to sit on the position of Minister of War, has forgotten the promise of the year, a dancer on the left, a singer on the right, no matter what dirty and smelly go to the house Rena, treating our lady's child so harshly..."
Song's mother came out of grief for a while, and hugged You Shu tightly in her arms and wept.
Youshu, who was busy pulling the placket, stopped slowly, filtered the words a little, and got some very useful information: First, the master and servant were sent by his own mother. Because they love the house and Wu, they are quite fond of themselves. Emotions; 2. My own father's name is Wang Xiangqian, and he is an official in the Ministry of War.
However, despite such a strong background, she was so weak in dealing with children. Her husband said that the child was a debt collector, she believed it, and she ignored it from now on. Youshu's eyes darkened slightly, unable to have any good feelings for her parents in this life, so she put aside all distracting thoughts and continued to forage. He ripped off for a long time without opening the front of Song's mother's clothes. He couldn't help but beat him again and again, babbling non-stop, expressing his desire to breastfeed.
Mama Song broke into a smile at this moment, tapped the tip of his reddish nose, and said angrily, "This old slave has never raised children, but there is no milk for you to drink, let alone a nurse. Two taels of silver a month are enough for us to spend. It's been half a year."
When Youshu heard this, she became anxious and called out loudly. The tip of her reddish nose turned red, showing she was very angry.
Mama Song laughed more and more, took him outside the house, pointed to a ewe tied under the osmanthus tree, and said, "Look, that's your new nanny, it only cost a few hundred coins to buy it, and it will be in the future. If you have milk every day, you don't have to pay monthly. Forty taels of silver won't be used!" She sighed after saying this.
Bai Shao was very obedient, she had already run under the tree to milk the goat's milk, and said crisply, "This goat's milk is cheap or cheap, but it is very stinky. I don't know if the eldest young master is used to drinking it."
"Nothing, put a little jasmine flowers and a little old tea leaves later when the goat milk is boiled, to get rid of the odor." Song Mama pointed to a large bush of jasmine blooming in the corner of the wall.
"Good." Bai Shao nodded with a smile, and quickly squeezed a bowl of milk and brought it to the kitchen to boil.
Hearing the increasingly strong milk fragrance, You Shu, who was anxious, calmed down. He didn't care about anything, and he wasn't afraid of anything, except that he couldn't stand hunger. The feeling of itching from the stomach to the brain, and then losing all reason, is still deeply engraved in the subconscious, and every time he remembers it, it makes him shudder. Sometimes, he even thought - no wonder the zombies kept eating people, they must be extremely hungry.
Mother Song put the baby in the cradle and put a pillow behind him. Seeing him rubbing his belly, she couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, milk will be available soon."
Just at this moment, a cold wind blew into the house and attached to Mama Song.
"It's summer, how can the room be so gloomy and cold." She said to herself, suddenly remembered something, and took out a few yin-yang mirrors from the package.
Bai Shao came into the house with the hot goat milk, saw the yin-yang mirror, and hurriedly said, "Mom, come and feed the eldest young master, I'll hang the mirror."
"This is the soul-fixing mirror that the young lady asked for from Master Xuanming. You can temporarily protect the soul of the eldest young master. You must hang it according to the five elements and gossip. You leave it alone. I will come by myself later." Song Mama found a picture Paper with the taboos of hanging mirrors written on it.
Youshu clearly felt that the moment the mirror was taken out, the cold wind, to be precise, the debt collector, escaped at the fastest speed. It seems that it is afraid of these mirrors.
When the chill was gone, Mother Song felt at ease, put on a bib for the little baby, and fed the baby spoon by spoon, she said earnestly while feeding, "Young Master, don't blame Miss, it's not that she doesn't want to come to see you, she also feels It's bitter! The Hou Mansion is now full of convicts. In order to save the master and his wife, the young lady has to beg Wang Xianggan. Our family's lives are now in his hands! She doesn't come to see you, and she doesn't mention you, Wang Xiangqian. You can forget your existence, and you can grow up in peace."
You Shu opened her mouth wide and drank milk one gulp at a time. It seemed that she didn't understand anything, but she was actually pricking up her ears to collect information. It turned out that the mother in this life did not want to save him, but was unable to save him. She left herself far away, but she was actually protecting herself in disguise. Thinking of this, You Shu's cold eyes warmed slightly.
The little girl moved a stool and sat beside the cradle, wiping the corners of the eldest young master's mouth from time to time. She seemed very angry and complained in a low voice, "Mother Wang, did the master really only give us forty taels of silver to raise the young master? It's just a dream. He actually believed it so much that he didn't even want his own flesh and blood."
"Hmph, if you do bad things too much, you will meet ghosts! How many people helped Wang Xianggan when he was down and out, and when he becomes prosperous, who do you think he will pay attention to? It's a shame that he can use this as an excuse to spar with our young lady and the eldest young master. In this, the slut of Lin's slut is definitely indispensable!" Song Mama He gritted his teeth with hatred, and the feeding action was a little slow.
Youshu patted the back of her hand, seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, so she had to lean over and hold the spoon.
