Li Chao is a singer holding the bottle. Although she has a good posture, she won't really spill it on Gu Mingke's clothes. She can clearly distinguish between joking and not respecting people.
Li Chaoge made a gesture to sprinkle water, and the water droplets fell from the willow branches, and when they passed around Gu Mingke's body, they suddenly condensed into ice flowers and fell gently to the ground. Li Chaoge looked down at the ground, raised his eyes, didn't say anything, just looked at Gu Mingke with a half-smile.
He doesn't trust her.
Gu Mingke also realized that he had misunderstood Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge is domineering and lawless, but she has always been very measured when dealing with specific people. Gu Mingke descended from the position of the heavenly court, and put Li Chaoge in the villain's position from the very beginning. He thought he could treat Li Chaoge completely and fairly, but in fact, he was inevitably biased.
This is the first time Gu Mingke has realized that he has selfishness in thousands of years. He was stunned, and the two stood opposite each other, the scene was extremely quiet. Pei Jihong didn't know, so he rushed over and asked, "Cousin, what's wrong with you? Are you okay?"
Gu Mingke reacted, his fingers moved slightly, and the ice crystals on the ground turned into a puddle of water in the blink of an eye, and disappeared in an instant?: "I'm fine."
Pei Jihong came over and saw that Gu Mingke was doing well, he was relieved, and said, "It's good that you're fine. Cousin, you didn't move just now, I thought you weren't comfortable."
As he said that, Pei Jihong tried to put Gu Mingke on the shoulder, but Gu Mingke mercilessly avoided him. Pei Jihong was stunned, his hand was still in mid-air, going up or down. Pei Ji'an came over and gave Pei Jihong a reproachful look: "It's not big or small. Why don't you make amends to your cousin?"
Pei Jihong withdrew his hand in embarrassment, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, cousin."
Seniors and children are orderly, as a younger brother, it is true that you can't be disrespectful to your elder brother. But a brother, who would pay so much attention? It's common for brothers to fight and fight when they talk, but Gu Mingke actually avoided it
Gu Mingke had no expression on his face, so he agreed. He cast his eyes on Li Chaoge, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Thank you, Princess Sheng Yuan. I was the one who was reckless just now."
Li Chaoge didn't expect Gu Mingke to apologize to her. Based on the details shown by Gu Mingke, he is definitely a master who is used to giving orders. People who have been in high positions for a long time are not willing to admit their mistakes, just like the emperor? Wouldn't he admit his mistakes to his courtiers, wouldn't the lady? Wouldn't he? Who would have thought that Gu Mingke could turn around so quickly, and calmly admit that he was aggressive.
Li Chaoge was a little surprised. Gu Mingke might be cold and rigid, but his fairness was impeccable. He is not only ruthless to outsiders, but even more so to himself.
Li Chaoge looked at Gu Mingke with admiration. Before, she paid more attention to Gu Mingke's face, but now she realizes that Gu Mingke's character is also remarkable.
Li Chaoge nodded and said, "No? It's such a big deal, don't you? Don't worry about it. Mr. Gu is a gentleman, open and upright, I admire him very much."
Pei Jihong looked around, and didn't understand why the two of them sang together without understanding why the water was pouring. Pei Ji'an was standing not far away, so he naturally didn't miss the surprise flashing across Li Chaoge's face, and the obviously brightened eyes behind her. As a man, how could Pei Ji'an not see it? It was a sign that a woman's affection for a man had grown stronger.
Pei Ji'an felt a little uncomfortable. He knew that Li Chaoge was ruthless and defiant, but he never spoke empty words or lies. She is not flattering and full of slander like the group of cruel officials around the queen. If she does not agree, she will not agree, but since she said it, every word is what she really thinks.
It is not easy to get a compliment from Li Chaoge. In the previous life, Li Chaoge was so obsessed with Pei Ji'an, but Pei Ji'an had never heard even a word of affirmation of him other than his appearance.
Now, she praises Gu Mingke as a gentleman who is open and upright. When Pei Ji'an thought of his previous life, he was really troubled.
For a man to be praised by an unmarried woman in public, this is definitely not a social etiquette, it is always somewhat peachy. However, the person involved, Gu Mingke, did not respond. He nodded calmly and said, "Princess is awesome. I have already cooperated with what should be cooperated. You chat slowly, and I will leave first."
After he finished speaking, he really left without looking back, without any intention of nostalgia. Pei Jihong was a little dazed. Before he could react, he saw the other party also restrained his smile, and said coldly, "I've finished watching the outer courtyard. I'll go to the inner courtyard right now. Prime Minister Pei, excuse me?"
Pei Xiang smiled and raised his hand: "My princess, please."
Pei Xiang motioned to the housekeeper beside him to lead the way, Li Chaoge turned around and left, completely ignoring Brother Pei Ji'an, without even saying goodbye. Pei Jihong was confused by this series of events. He looked at Li Chaoge's back in surprise. After a while, he asked Pei Ji'an in a low voice: "Brother, does Princess Sheng Yuan have any opinion on me? She talked to her cousin just now. Yes, why did she have a cold face when I came over?"
"Don't think too much." Pei Ji'an put up his elder brother's airs and said with a serious face, "A woman's name is precious, don't you have to arrange it. No? Don't think about it anymore, go back and endorse it."
Pei Jihong restrained his jokes, lowered his head and said, "Yes."
After Pei Jihong left, the others also dispersed one after another. Pei Ji'an stood alone in the corridor, the evening wind blew, and the wind chimes at the corner of the eaves jingled. Pei Ji'an suddenly remembered a verse, the wind does not move, the tree does not move, but the heart moves.
Of course Pei Ji'an knew that Li Chaoge didn't have any objections to Pei Jihong. In his previous life, Pei Jihong publicly impeached Li Chaoge on the spur of the moment. As a result, Li Chaoge didn't care that he was his brother-in-law and sent him to Lingnan directly. Pei Jihong had never experienced any hardships since he was a child. The journey to the south of the Five Ridges was long and far away, and the conditions were harsh. In addition, Pei Jihong couldn't bear the gap, so he died of illness and anger. Li Chaoge must take revenge, but fortunately, he doesn't know how to make troubles. In his previous life, Li Chaoge has already avenged him. In this life, as long as Pei Jihong doesn't provoke him, Li Chaoge won't embarrass Pei Jihong.
The one she couldn't get used to, and was afraid to avoid, was Pei Ji'an.
Pei Ji'an took a deep breath. Standing under the eaves, when he heard the jingle of the bell, his heart seemed to be in a mess.
When Li Chaoge came to the inner courtyard, sure enough, Mrs. Pei's courtyard was full of people. Hearing Li Chaoge come in, people in the room got up one after another: "Princess Sheng Yuan."
Pei Chuyue stood up with the crowd. She was wearing a blue dress today, standing behind her mother and aunt with her head bowed. She didn't look conspicuous. When Li Chaoge entered the room, the first thing he saw was Old Mrs. Pei leaning on the roof, and after that, Mrs. Pei's family stood at the bottom. Li Chaoge's gaze quickly swept across the crowd. When she passed by Pei Chuyue, her gaze paused, but she quickly moved away, and saluted Mrs. Pei as if nothing had happened: "Greetings to Mrs. Pei."
Mrs. Pei nodded calmly, and said in a deep tone, "Princess Sheng Yuan, please, I am ashamed. I haven't entered the palace for a long time, don't you know how the saint is?"
Only asking about the emperor but not about the Empress, Li Chaoge pretended not to hear it, smiled slightly, and said: "The saint is well, the old lady has a heart."
"That's good." Mrs. Pei nodded heavily. Her eyes fell on Li Chaoge. I heard that the princess had just been found from the people, didn't she? But looking at it this way, it doesn't look like it? It's rough and vulgar, and it's no different from the princess raised in the palace. It's a pity, isn't it? . Mrs. Pei did not express her thoughts, but said to Li Chaoge: "A sage's well-being is the blessing of the family and the country, and I feel at ease now. Please sit down, princess."
"I won't." Li Chaoge stood still, with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, "I came here by the emperor's order, and I will return to the palace in a while, so I won't stay at Pei's house for a long time. I am going to do a method to exorcise ghosts next, please cooperate with the old lady."
Mrs. Pei was quite disconcerted. She practiced Buddhism deeply. There were not many Buddhist things in Pei's mansion. Mrs. Pei didn't think any ghosts would invade Pei's mansion at all. What's more, even if you invite someone to practice the method, you should invite an eminent monk. What is a ten-year-old girl
It's just that this is what the sage meant, Mrs. Pei didn't say it clearly, but said: "Okay. Princess Lao is here."
Li Chaoge turned his head and gestured to Mo Linlang with his eyes. The Pei family is very particular, especially the defense between men and women, so Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao did not follow, only Li Chaoge and Mo Linlang, who was dressed as a maid, were allowed to enter the inner house of the Pei family. Li Chaoge hated Li Chaoge in her previous life. She was used to the rules of the Pei family, but in this life she didn't want to have anything to do with the Pei family, so she endured it silently and only brought Mo Linlang in.
Anyway, as long as she is there, demons and ghosts will not be able to get out of the water, and it doesn't matter whether the helper is with her or not.
Mo Linlang has yin and yang eyes and is most sensitive to breath. She clearly felt that this place is different from the previous two mansions. The wives and wives here don't seem to welcome them that much, especially the eyes of the old lady on the couch, which made Mo Linlang very uncomfortable.
That condescending, judging gaze. Mo Linlang knew that her background was humble and her manners were vulgar, and she couldn't compare with these elegant and wealthy families, but what did this have to do with the Pei family? Doesn't Mo Linlang owe money to the Pei family? Why do they look down on her
Mo Linlang endured her disgust and sprinkled water on those wives one by one. Because she felt happy, Mo Linlang's hands were especially heavy when she sprinkled water, and whose gaze was the most annoying, she intentionally splashed a lot of water on the other party's dress. Walking in front of a wealthy and dignified middle-aged woman, Mo Linlang paused slightly for the hand holding the willow branch.
This lady seems to have a high status, except for the old lady at the top, she should be the most distinguished. There was a woman hiding behind this lady. Sensing Mo Linlang's sight, the little lady hid back, as if she didn't like being seen by outsiders.
Mo Linlang pinched her hands secretly, lowered her eyes, and walked away without incident. Mo Linlang hurriedly reminded Li Chaoge, and then sprinkled water in a perfunctory manner, and it was over in a while. She returned to Li Chaoge's side, and quickly tugged on Li Chaoge's sleeve by handing over the bottle: "Princess, it's done."
"En." Li Chaoge responded, with a steady expression on her face, and slightly saluted Mrs. Pei, "Old Mrs. Pei, it takes three days to refine my ghost-killing talisman, so, today I temporarily made a few amulets, melted them in water, and sprinkled them on the ladies and gentlemen. Ladies and gentlemen, please enshrine today’s suit in the house after returning. Don’t let the clothes touch the water within three days. And fire. As long as the water talisman does not lose its effect, everyone will be safe and ghosts will not be able to get close. After three days, when my formation is complete, I can come to catch ghosts."
Even if Mrs. Pei didn't believe that there was a ghost in Pei's family, she would undoubtedly be relieved to hear these words. Their Pei mansion has a century-old reputation and a scholarly family. If they are tainted with strange powers and gods, and become like the eldest grandson's family and Cao's family, it will be more uncomfortable than killing Mrs. Pei. Mrs. Pei nodded, and said slowly: "Princess Lao, thank you for your trouble."
"The emperor's order is in your body, and you are just doing things impartially." Li Chaoge smiled slightly and said, "Old lady, sit down slowly, I will return to the palace first to return to my order."
The wives of the Pei family sent a few steps forward and stopped at the door of the house, and the maid led Li Chaoge out of the door. The maid from Pei's mansion walked in front. Mo Linlang saw that no one was paying attention, so she quietly walked to Li Chaoge's side and whispered, "Princess, I saw it. The ghost is on that little lady in green."
Pei Chuyue was the only one wearing green clothes today. Li Chaoge wasn't surprised at all, and said, "I see. I'll see the Pei family later, so don't say anything, just pretend you don't know what's going on here? There's a ghost here, and I'll make my own arrangements afterwards."
Mo Linlang nodded vigorously: "Yes."
Li Chaoge bid farewell to Pei's residence, and walked directly towards Miyagi, looking like he was going back to the palace. Pei Xiang's people waited for a while, watched Li Chaoge's backs gradually go away, then turned around and bolted the door, and went back to do their own things.
The curfew is about to come, isn't this time already? If there will be any guests, the gate of Pei's mansion can be locked.
Soon, the curfew drums sounded, and the sound of gongs came from outside. The streets of Luoyang are gradually quiet, the afterglow has dissipated, and the lights have just come on. The bustling and busy streets in the daytime are only left with shadows.
There are rumors of ghosts in the past few days. The courtyard wall of Pei's house that was destroyed by monsters has not been repaired. When it gets dark, no one wants to go out. The lights in Pei's mansion dimmed one by one, and gradually, the mansion fell into silence, and everyone in the Pei family fell asleep.
In the backyard of Pei's house, the maid turned off the lights and went out, leaving only a small dim light to guide the way. Inside the heavy curtains, Pei Chuyue lay with her eyes closed, her breathing was steady, her eyes were motionless, as if she had fallen asleep. The movement outside gradually subsided, and the night guard girl couldn't help but began to doze off. In the darkness, Pei Chuyue opened her eyes suddenly, her pupils dilated inexplicably, she didn't look like she was sleeping at all.
Pei Chuyue sat up straight, got out of bed with bare feet, and made no sound while walking. She went straight to the north wall of the house, where a set of clothes was enshrined with incense sticks, which was exactly the one Pei Chuyue wore during the day. Pei Chuyue stared at the dress, a sneer slowly emerged from the corner of her mouth.
Pei Chuyue is a young girl in the family. She was usually spoiled and brought up. She is carefree and carefree. She has a very innocent and lovely temperament. She rarely shows such a sinister and distorted expression. But now, Pei Chuyue looked at the clothes with a sneer, and slowly hooked them up with her fingers, and when she let go, they fell to the ground.
"Amulet water, ghost-hunting formation?" Pei Chuyue snorted, this kind of expression appeared on her delicate and cute face, quite out of place, "Again? It's an idiot with a false name. You deserve it?"
Pei Chuyue bumped it lightly with her arm, and the ash burner on the altar fell on the pile of clothes, and the unburned threads were faintly visible. Pei Chuyue just sat in front of the mirror without turning on the light, and slowly combed her hair facing the dark figures in the mirror.
Her hands were very nimble, as if she was used to doing this kind of thing, she quickly tied her hair into a bun. She looked at the figure in the mirror with satisfaction, got up and went behind the floor covering. There, a beautiful wedding dress was hung on a hanger.
Miss Shijia has been preparing dowry since she was born. Although Pei Chuyue is not engaged yet, more than half of her wedding dress has been embroidered one after another. She changed into her wedding dress, and stroked the exquisite mandarin duck embroidery pattern with her fingers, with a regretful expression: "It's a pity that the embroidery is not finished for such a beautiful wedding dress."
Wasn't the night guard maid? I don't know when she fell asleep. She was awakened by the smell of smoke. She coughed and opened her eyes, and was surprised to find that there was a fire coming from the lady's boudoir, and it was already burning!
The night guard maid jumped in fright and hurriedly jumped up to put out the fire. While calling for someone to come, she was frightened in her heart. She has learned to serve people since she was born, and she is used to serving young ladies. She usually does not sleep heavily, and wakes up at the slightest disturbance. Why did she not notice that the fire started this time
The night guard maid suppressed her cough, poured tea or covered things, and finally extinguished the fire. Fortunately, it was a piece of clothing that was burning, the spark was small and easy to control, and it did not cause a catastrophe. At this time, the night guard maid took a closer look, and found that it was the suit that Princess Sheng Yuan had repeatedly instructed, never to touch water or fire.
The servant girl frowned, feeling something was wrong? It was quite right. Why did this suit catch fire? She made such a big noise when she extinguished the fire just now, the maidservant in the lady's courtyard should have woken up long ago, but after such a long time, there was no one to ask questions.
Moreover, there is a fire in the house, and others can't hear it? Forget it, how can the lady not hear it? The night guard servant girl suddenly felt a chill down her spine, giving birth to an extremely bad premonition. She rushed to the bed and pulled back the curtains vigorously, only to find that the bed was empty. She stretched out her hand and it was already cold.
The maid looked around and noticed that the things on the dressing table had been moved, and the wedding dress that was going to be given to the lady behind the screen was gone.
·
Wearing a green wedding gown, Pei Chuyue walked slowly in the empty courtyard with a round fan in her hand. The surrounding area was very quiet, except for the rustling sound of the night wind passing through the shadows of the trees.
The embroidered shoes on her feet were delicate and soft, and every step she took seemed to leave a lotus mark. Pei Chuyue walked all the way to the atrium. This is the largest and most solemn main courtyard of the Pei family. It is only used for weddings and funerals in a year. Pei Chuyue covered her face with a round fan, and slowly stood up, obviously she was the only one, but she left a place for her side.
As if, there is also a person there.
The clouds surged and the moon sank, a large group of dark clouds covered the moon, and the shadows on the ground also appeared and disappeared from time to time. Pei Chuyue faced Zhengbei and bowed slowly.
Worship to heaven and earth, get married.
These Miss Jiao are timid and want to marry their cousin, but they dare not say or do it. Pei Chuyue doesn't? Dare, then she will help.
Her cousin Gu Mingke is dead. According to the rules of their mortal world, the relationship between the two of them has been broken in this life, and they can only look forward to reunion in the next life. But for Yin Division, the so-called Yin and Yang divergence is not a problem. What if the person is dead? What, just get married.
"Pei Chuyue" bowed to Zhengbei Jiaojiao, then she turned around and bowed twice to the empty seat.
The second worships the high hall, and lives and dies together.
There is a saying in the world that when you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. Now that you are married, you will go to the underworld to serve your husband.
After "Pei Chuyue" finished worshiping, she turned around and bowed gracefully to the empty courtyard, as if there was another person opposite her.
Husband and wife worship each other, and since then the ceremony has been completed, and they cannot go back on their word.
She helped Pei Chuyue realize her wish, and after that, it was her turn to collect the reward.
The body belonging to Pei Chuyue was bowing down, when suddenly a flying knife flew from the opposite side, knocking down the round fan in front of Pei Chuyue with a bang, interrupting the ceremony of couple's worship. "Pei Chuyue..." Huo De looked up, her pupils were dilated and dim, like a blind person. However, relying on the voice, she still turned to the direction where the voice came from: "Who?"
On the opposite eaves, Bai Qianhe silently shrank to Li Chaoge's side: "Princess, I'm a little scared."
"Short? Nonsense." Li Chaoge was very disgusted, and kicked him to the corner of the wall, "Go to work!"
