Chapter 17 Section Eleven

Tu Jinfeng hadn't slept well for ten days, and the clump of hibiscus weeping like blood in the back garden always made her unable to let go, as if there was a pool of thicker blood spreading in the depths of her soul, which was about to drip out of her body, killing her. dyed through. No... It wasn't her who was dyed through, but the ghost who wanted to die!Recalling the scene when the ghost first appeared half a month ago, she extremely hoped that it was just a hallucination caused by drunkenness, and she was indeed a little drunk at that time.Master Qin's Wuliangchun degree was high, and after drinking three cups, the smell of alcohol came out from every pore, making her both comfortable and panicked.She is not afraid of wine, but she is afraid of men, afraid of the man in front of her. She was afraid of him when she bought her out of the Kunqu opera class.His thick eyebrows, flamboyant hair, and the gutter-like hard lines in his gentle smile all made her shudder.This is probably also the reason why she was willing to be his third concubine, he couldn't bear to refuse, as if he would be smashed to pieces if he shook his head.

That day Tu Jinfeng wanted to stand in the courtyard to sober up, but the fever on his cheeks gradually subsided in the night wind, and his mind cleared up, but his stomach continued to churn, and the food and drink poured into his throat, and he sprayed them out with a single mouth. Wet the upper and a piece of cloth on the chest. "Sister Yue?" She wanted to call her aunt to help her, but found that there was no one around, so she had to hold on to the branches and continue to retch. After a while, she realized that someone behind her supported her waist and patted her back lightly.She couldn't help but struggled hard, and scolded: "Where did you die just now? Why did you dislike me as the third wife? The master can't even serve you. If you go to the kitchen to wash out the bowls in the Ming Dynasty, you will know how hard it is!" "

Sister Yue didn't say a word, she just kept patting her on the back. She raised her eyes and turned around, looking up to hit her, but she was so frightened that she fell down and sat down, splashing dirt all over her body. Where is Sister Yue, she is clearly an evil ghost!Her long hair is draped over her face, and only a big bright red mouth can be vaguely seen. The corners of her mouth extend to the base of her ears, which is the same color as the eye-catching cheongsam she wears. The hoarse voice, like weeping, also like laughing. "Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah--" Tu Jinfeng wished he could faint on the spot, and when he woke up, it would be dawn and all the ghosts would disappear.But his head was extremely clear-headed, even his eyes had adapted to the dim light, and he could clearly see every joint on the ghost's pale fingers.

"Third wife!" Sister Yue's voice sounded behind her. She couldn't turn her neck, so she could only stare at the ghost in a daze, and said in a trembling voice, "Sister Yue, what... what is this?" "Third wife, what do you see? Why are you sitting here, it's dirty!" When the warm hand held Tu Jinfeng's fingertips, she was convinced that it was the aunt, and the sour smell of a middle-aged woman emanating from the other party also made her feel at ease.But... no!That thing was clearly in front of her eyes, still grinning and screaming, the hem of the blood-colored cheongsam was blown by the wind, almost touching the tip of her nose.

"Look! Look! What is this? Can't you see it?" She was anxious, and her fingernails were almost embedded in Sister Yue's palm. Sister Yue was obviously panicked, and hurriedly said: "Third wife, are you drinking too much? I'll help you go back." "You can't see? You really can't see?" "See what? Third wife?" Sister Yue answered, dragged her from the ground forcibly, and walked away from the female ghost. The vermilion pane not far away was covered with faint tree shadows under the night, so she became more and more worried. Looking back at the ghost, it waved to her slowly, as if saying goodbye.

Back in the room, Sister Yue turned on the light and put Tang Pozi under her quilt. "You must have seen it just now?" Sister Yue immediately lowered her face and nodded. "Then why—" "Third wife." Sister Yue showed a tearless expression, "When you encounter such a ghost, you must pretend not to see it, let alone—" "What's more?" She pressed her toes lightly on Mrs. Tang, but she didn't feel any warmth. "What's more, that ghost might be..." Sister Yue spread out a palm and shook it twice in front of her eyes. She seemed to be struck by lightning in an instant, her face became dull, and it took a long time to spit out from her mouth: "It really is her..."

From then on, Tu Jinfeng no longer had the mood to compete with the other concubines, and just stayed indoors. Due to the lack of sunlight, she lay in bed all day without breathing, and instantly became emaciated.Sister Yue knew her heart troubles, so she gave her a little embarrassment, and privately scolded the aunts in the other rooms: "It deserves it! She must have killed Mrs. Fifth, or the ghost of Mrs. Fifth would have come to find her." she?" Because they were all afraid of having their tongues cut off, the haunting was only rumored among servants, but Qin Yazhe didn't dare to know about it.Tu Jinfeng was so ill that he didn't even have the energy to drink water, so he invited a western doctor to see him, but it was just a drip of nutrient solution, which was of no use.Qin Yazhe had visited her a few times, but couldn't find out why. Later, because the head of the family secretly entrusted him with some errands, he went out for half a month and didn't return. He didn't know that his house had become a mess.

It was Fourth Aunt Hua Nongying who first brought the haunting to Qin Yazhe's ears.She was originally one of the four major flower villages in Hong Kong - the red card auntie of Jinxiu Village. Qin Yazhe met Chen Guang in Shitangzui when he went there to import foreign goods. Xue originally wanted to please her, but it was rare for her to be willing to get out.That's why Qin Yazhe was so arrogant in his preference for her, and vowed to marry her back home, not to mention the big expenses, but also resorted to some extraordinary methods, in order to embrace the beauty.Hua Nongying usually has a violent temper, she dares to say anything outright, and she speaks blunt Cantonese Mandarin, but she can speak sonorously.But on the seventeenth day when Qin Yazhe went out, a heart-piercing scream in the middle of the night startled everyone in the Qin Mansion from their dreams. It is said that the housekeeper was the first one to open the door at that time, and the voice was like a crow , but there were some irrelevant sentences mixed in, and following the strange noise, she stepped into the backyard, only to see Hua Nongying pulling her hair desperately, and a burning lantern lying beside her feet.

"There is... a ghost! Bi Xiaoqing! It's Bi Xiaoqing!" The butler walked around the courtyard, but saw nothing. In the early morning of the next day, Hua Nongying asked someone to bring a letter to Lord Qin, saying that something happened at home, and asked him to come back quickly.At noon that day, Master Qin came back with a sullen face and asked the housekeeper how everything was going well at home.The steward said in a mosquito-like voice, "This... I can't tell you the little one, you can ask the fourth wife after a while." Qin Yazhe had no choice but to run into Hua Nongying's room. When she saw the man coming, she seemed to have run into a life-saving straw. She hurriedly got up from the bed, grabbed him and cried, and explained everything about the haunting.

When Hua Nongying calmed down, Qin Yazhe frowned and asked, "What are you doing in the backyard alone in the middle of the night?" "What else can I do? You know I'm going to pay homage to Seventh Sister on the fifteenth day of this month!" Hua Nongying raised her mouth immediately, "I also know that this family looks down on me as an old man, so naturally I don't dare to trouble my servants." Well, I still quietly prayed to the matter, but I didn't expect..." The first thing Qin Yazhe heard was to call sister Yue over, and only asked one question: "Did the third wife tell you that she ran into a ghost?"

Sister Yue admitted on the spot that Qin Yazhe slapped Qin Yazhe as soon as she nodded her head: "Don't tell me such a big thing, you really want to go home and eat old rice?" Sister Yue was beaten so badly that half of her face was swollen immediately, and she didn't dare to say much, so she fled back to the house. Then Qin Yazhe called the main house Mrs. Lin and the second concubine Sun Yi over again, and asked the same question: "Have you ever seen a ghost in the yard?" Lin firmly said no, but only heard from Hua Nongying that there was.However, Sun Yi hesitated for a long time before Fang reluctantly replied: "Once, a snow-white figure flashed by my window, I don't know if it is..."
In the Paramount Ballroom in late autumn, the male guests were extremely excited, but the dancers were all preoccupied, their skin was dry and their smiles were stiff, fearing that if the facial muscles moved too much, the powder would fall off. Only Du Chunxiao, who was naked, was walking around with a cigarette case hanging on his face. "Chun Xiao, come here." Qin Yazhe smiled and waved to her from the seat most facing inward. "Yo! Does Mr. Qin buy cigarettes or tell fortunes?" She stepped forward, seeing that the other party had something on her mind, so her emotions became more and more high. "Ghostbusters, are you good at it?" He took a puff of thick cigar smoke from his mouth.
