"Be more careful."

Qu Yunchu told the two of them, said goodbye, returned to the carriage, and hurried to Xinqujia Village.

When they arrived at De Wei's house, their mother and Aunt Niu were chatting with Liu Siniang in the yard. When they saw Qu Yunchu's figure, everyone stood up in joy.

"Second Young Madam, which gust of wind blew you here."

Aunt Niu was overjoyed and hurriedly asked Qu Xiaoya to move the seats out, and then prepared to go in and make tea herself:

"Sister Wei, chat with the young madam."

Qu Yunchu looked around the courtyard casually and found that two figures were missing. He sat down slowly and asked Qu Xiaoya, "Where are your father and Qu Mian?"

"They went to catch the evil spirit together with the villagers."

Qu Xiaoya replied cheerfully: "This time the county and state government offered a reward of ten thousand taels of gold. I'm afraid there has never been such a heavy reward since the beginning of the Dayue Dynasty. As long as the evil spirit can be caught, how many times will it be lost?" People of this generation don’t have to worry about eating and drinking anymore, and now all the people from ten miles and eight villages who have nothing to do are helping the government to find evil spirits.”

Hearing the reward of ten thousand taels of silver, Qu Yunchu himself was a little excited.

Wei also said with great interest: "I heard that the reason why the government's reward is so high this time is because the second master of your house and the head of the Lu family are fighting for more. They are really rare and good people. For the sake of the people of the whole city, Safety, we have put a lot of effort into this."

Qu Yunchu sneered at this.

Are those uncle and nephew dogs concerned about the safety of the people in the city?
"Ahem, this evil spirit is extremely ferocious. Xiaoya, please don't let your father and Qu Mian get involved."

Qu Yunchu said with a faint smile: "Anyway, the folks in Qujia Village can live a prosperous life now, so why bother coveting the money that they risk their lives for."

With each household receiving a compensation of 1000 taels of silver, I am afraid that no village in the entire Dayue Dynasty could be so wealthy.

"People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants."

Aunt Niu came out with tea and explained seriously: "To be honest with you, madam, since the last time I used snow clam paste, my thoughts are the same as that of young madam. I have also advised them and their son, but now the people in the village The young and old men are all crazy, risking their lives to catch the evil spirit."

"Let them do whatever they want."

Wei said: "Anyway, if we really catch this evil spirit, we will be doing something good for the people."

Qu Yunchu sighed silently: It's all the evil of money.

With their naked eyes, they are no match for Xitong.

Why don't you fight to make her dinner?

Mrs. Wei sighed casually, and then hurriedly stood up: "Young Madam has been tired all the way, and I'm afraid she's hungry too. I'll prepare meals for Young Madam."

She was still so polite and caring, which made Qu Yunchu feel frustrated.

I always feel that it is difficult for my mother to get close to me.

"Ah, can we let your mother make lotus cakes today?"

She glanced at Mr. Wei meaningfully, then asked Qu Aa with a smile.

"What is lotus cake?"

Qu A'a looked confused when he heard this.

There was a puzzled look on everyone's face.

Wei Shi was a little surprised.

Although Mrs. Lu was well-informed and it was not surprising that she knew this snack, how did she know that she could make it?

"I learned that from a southern cook when I was in the capital. The wives and ladies of the noble families in the capital loved it very much."

Wei looked at Qu Yunchu suspiciously and explained, "I've only done this once in my life."

I remember that not long after I arrived in Beijing, because I was worried about my daughter, I was anxious to learn how to make this snack and send it to Jiuyun Mountain myself.

At that time, Ah Ah was not yet born.

Because the production process was too cumbersome, not only the taste was important, but also the pastry had to be shaped into a lotus shape. After becoming pregnant with Ah Ah, she had no intention of making it anymore.

"I didn't expect that the young lady also likes this snack, but I'm afraid I'm rusty after not doing it for a long time. I don't know if I can still make it well. I'm going to prepare it now."

Mrs. Wei didn't dare to think too much, and immediately went to the kitchen with an uneasy heart.Qu A'a belatedly asked her concerns: "Sister, how did you know that my mother can make lotus cakes?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Qu Yunchu pinched the tip of her nose, smiled evilly and prevaricated.

Of course she couldn't say this kind of thing openly, it was just a test to test her mother.

But judging from her reaction, she didn't seem to notice anything. I'm afraid she just felt that she had a good relationship with her precious daughter, and she said everything to her.

Hey, this is my fate.

He looked at Liu Siniang casually with a grimace. He had not seen her for a few months, and the baby in her arms had grown a lot.

Qu A'a had always been close to Liu Siniang, and he was very fond of her as a little child. He lay beside Siniang and kept stroking the sleeping little baby.

Seeing the fat little guy neither crying nor fussing, Qu Yunchu couldn't help but take a closer look.

I don't know if I don't see it, I'm startled when I see it.

Although the little baby was sleeping peacefully at the moment, his face looked dull and even a little blue, and the dark circles under his eyes were very obvious.

"Has Si Niang been to Jiuyun Mountain recently?"

Qu Yunchu asked suspiciously.

Liu Siniang shook her head: "Not yet."

"Have you met any old friends?"

Qu Yunchu's expression became a little solemn and he stared at her closely.

Liu Siniang was a little confused when she heard this, and shook her head blankly: "Brother Cong's family is all relatives and friends who are still alive in this village. I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I don't have any old friends. Now I only have Aunt Niu with me all day long." , Aunt Wei’s companion.”

"Yeah yeah."

Aunt Niu looked at the Young Madam and saw that something was wrong in her eyes. She seemed to be full of vigilance, and quickly explained: "Young Madam, Si Niang stays with me and Madam Wei every day. It is true that she has never seen anyone else."

Qu Yunchu's eyes darkened: "No, no."

Slowly standing up, she walked towards Liu Siniang's yard and asked, "Has the baby lost appetite recently, is it crying at night and unable to sleep, and even the poop is blue and black?"

"How do you know, young lady?"

Aunt Niu was amazed: "This is really amazing."

A'a had already been taken to the Lu Mansion by her, and she just returned to the village today, so she knew a lot about the things in the courtyard.

Liu Siniang was also worried about her son, she frowned and said:
"To tell you the truth, Madam, Chuang Chuang has been really weird lately. He keeps crying at night. In the past few days, for some unknown reason, he keeps crying whenever he stays in the house. He also comes outside. He Then I finally obeyed and fell asleep."

"Ms. Wei even invited a doctor from the village a few days ago. The old doctor searched for a long time but couldn't find out what happened."

Aunt Niu said very distressedly.

"Siniang, are the two talismans I gave you before still at home?"

Qu Yunchu looked around carefully and asked unhurriedly.

Liu Siniang nodded: "Yes, yes, I kept it under the pillow."

"Maybe I can go into your courtyard and take a look?"

Qu Yunchu silently took out a purple tracking charm from his arms and held it in his hand.

Qu Cong is now a contract ghost in Jiuyun Mountain. If he wants to see his wife and children, he will ask himself or Changqing to find a way for him.

And Liu Siniang had a yellow paper talisman given by herself to protect her, and ordinary little devils could not get close to her.

Children can see things that adults cannot and are often easily frightened.

To be able to scare the little guy into such a state and not be afraid of the yellow paper talisman, the person hiding in her courtyard must not be a simple character.
