First Wife of Zhu Family

Chapter 315

Wan Lai is silent, and the moon is as cool as water.

In the dark night, a faint light suddenly appeared.

"Ah-ah-choo!"

The boy carrying the lantern sneezed hard.

He raised his sleeves, wiped his nose and cursed, "Damn...it's in the middle of the night, don't do it early, don't do it late, you have to wait for my shit to come out and grab the latrine...fucking shit! "

He cursed all the way, and walked outside a courtyard wall before he knew it.

"Tap...tap..."

There was a sound of footsteps in the ear.

The young man thought he had heard it wrong and didn't care too much. After walking a few more steps, he realized that the voice was actually getting closer.

He stopped suddenly, turned around abruptly and shouted, "Who?!"

The only response to him was the "rustling" sound of the leaves being blown by the cold wind.

The boy frowned, looked around vigilantly, and suddenly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it out forcefully.

"Meow!" A black shadow flashed in front of my eyes in the darkness, and rushed out in an instant.

The little servant breathed a sigh of relief, and spat bitterly on the ground, "Damn...you scared me to death!"

He was cursing, when suddenly a gust of cold wind blew by - the candle in the lantern was blown flickeringly, and a swaying figure was reflected on the ground.

For some reason, the boy looked at his own shadow on the ground, and his heart suddenly felt trembling, and he wanted to leave quickly——

"Tap...tap..."

The footsteps that had disappeared suddenly sounded in my ears again.

The sound is getting louder and faster...

The blood color receded from the boy's face little by little, and his eyes widened in horror—except for mottled shadows, there was still nothing in front of him.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound of "poof" from the lantern, and it went out.

Everything is shrouded in darkness again.

But the sound of footsteps was getting closer and clearer——finally, the sound stopped in front of him and stopped moving.

The little boy stood there blankly, as if he was frozen... He could even feel the sound of the other person's breathing, and the gloomy breath was blowing on his face...

-

"Ghost, ghost!!!"

Suddenly, a shrill cry resounded in the peaceful house, piercing the dark night sky like a sharp knife, echoing for a long time in the silent night...

………………

Du Rongzhi has been very busy recently.

Song Zixun had someone buy a three-entry house in Shanyin County, although it was not very big, but because the original owner was a rich businessman with good taste, he renovated the house very elegantly.There are all kinds of furniture and furnishings inside, and it was only because the rich businessman took his family to Shandong to do business that he sold the house at a low price.

Du Rongzhi fell in love with this place as soon as he came here - although it is not as spacious and grand as the former Duke's Mansion, it is not so warm and comfortable.And the most rare thing is that this place completely belongs to their family of three - it is their home.

Du Rongzhi only felt the comfort and joy that he had never had before. He seemed to have endless energy every day, ranging from the layout of the house to the selection of window screens.

In the end, it was Song Zixun who couldn't see through it, fearing that if she kept going on like this, the meat that was so easy to raise would be gone again, so he made the decision himself - while the general direction was according to Du Rongzhi's intention, other details only needed Madam An and the others. Just think about it.

Although Du Rongzhi had some complaints about this decision, but thinking of her not very up-to-date body, she had no choice but to obey.

... In the blink of an eye, when everything was settled, more than half a month had passed.

On the other hand, Song Zixun's errands in the yamen were also getting started: every morning, Du Rongzhi would send him out after breakfast, and when she came back in the evening, she would wait for him in the yard with her daughter in her arms like an ordinary woman. He is more disciplined and relaxed than when he was in the Hanlin Academy.

Up and down the whole house, there is a sense of joy and harmony everywhere, and the years are quiet and stable.

... This morning, after sending Song Zixun to the yamen, Du Rongzhi went back to sleep again.

Now that the elders are not in charge, Song Zixun is becoming more and more unrestrained, and last night he made a fuss until the third watch... Du Rongzhi couldn't figure it out: they all eat the same meal and sleep in the same bed, so how come he wakes up in the morning? The spirit of the dragon is fierce and the spirit is high, but she looks like she can't wake up no matter what, she just wishes she could grow up in bed every day...

This time I returned to the cage and slept until almost noon.

After Du Rongzhi had lunch, seeing that the sun was still shining outside, she thought to herself that since she came to this Shanyin County, she had never gone out for a stroll, so on a whim, she told Nanny An about all the family affairs, and led Qing He and Yuanyuan went shopping.

In fact, if you want to talk about this woman's hobbies, there are only a few.Du Rongzhi bought a few local atlases and popular local dialects in the bookstore, and after wandering around, he entered a jewelry store called "Wanfu Jinlou" on Kangping Street.

In terms of gorgeous styles and exquisite workmanship, this jewelry shop in Shanyin County can't be compared with Debaoxuan, the number one treasure shop in Beijing, and it is also inferior to any gold and silver shop with a prosperous business in Beijing.It's just that the south has become more and more frequent in business with foreign regions recently. In addition to being able to buy a large number of high-quality jewelry raw materials from foreign merchants at a lower price every year, the jewelry here has added a lot of exotic flavor to the design, compared with the jewelry in the capital. A little more wit and charm.

In particular, the Wanfu Gold Tower is the most famous in Shanyin County.It is said that there are the best masters and the best jewelry in the county, and they are extremely sought after by the rich ladies and ladies in the county—if anyone does not have a few "Wanfu Jinlou" things, they will be ashamed to tell them when they go to the banquet. The other female relatives greeted each other.

Although Du Rongzhi is new here, she has already heard of the name "Wanfu Jinlou" from the girl in the mansion.Although she herself brought a lot of jewelry from Beijing, but this jewelry is to a woman, just like a woman is to a man, there are always too few, not too many, so Du Rongzhi also plans to buy a few pieces here today ——When you go out to socialize with Song Zixun in the future, you can also take it out to "be close to you".

Speaking of entertaining... It seems that Song Zixun whispered in his ear last night that he was going to have a banquet at some official's house after leaving the Yamen today... But she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. I can't hear it clearly...

Du Rongzhi rubbed her sore waist calmly, secretly cursing in her heart, but her eyes were suddenly attracted by a hairpin in the tray.

The head of the hairpin is a round jade rabbit, standing on a golden cloud with its legs.Its forelimbs are clumsily holding a jade pestle, and it is working diligently to pound medicine. A pair of ruby ​​​​eyes are shining brightly under the sunlight.

Du Rongzhi looked very interesting, and was about to pick it up for a closer look, when suddenly a slender hand protruded from the side, and picked up the hairpin one step ahead of her.

"How much is this hairpin? I want it."
