Chapter 56: Dark marriage

In Li Chao singer? Holding the bottle, although she is in a good posture, it will really spill on Gu Mingke’s clothes. She can still tell the difference between joking and disrespect for people.

Li Chaoge sprinkled water, and the water droplets fell from the willow branches. When they passed Gu Mingke’s body, they quickly condensed into ice flowers and fell gently to the ground. Li Chaoge looked down at the ground, raised his eyes, without talking, just staring at Gu Mingke with a smile.

He doesn’t believe her.

Gu Mingke also realized that he had misunderstood Li Chaoge. Li Chaoge is domineering and undisciplined, but she has always been very measured when facing specific people. Gu Mingke stepped down from the position of Heavenly Court and put Li Chaoge in the position of the villain from the beginning. He thought he could treat Li Chaoge completely and fairly. In fact, he still inevitably brought prejudice.

This is the first time that Gu Mingke has realized that he has selfishness in thousands of years. He was startled, 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 the matter 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 a blink of an eye, and disappeared in a flash?: “I’m fine.”

Pei Jihong walked over and saw Gu Mingke put it right, he was relieved, and said: “It’s okay. Cousin, you didn’t move just now, I thought you were uncomfortable.”

With that, Pei Jihong tried to take Gu Mingke’s shoulder, but Gu Mingke avoided it mercilessly. Pei Jihong was stunned, his hands still in the air, he couldn’t get up or down. Pei Ji’an came over and glared at Pei Jihong reproachfully: “It’s not big or small. Still? Give my cousin to apologize?”

Pei Jihong replied with his hand back and said, “I’m sorry, cousin.”

Being in order, as a younger brother, can’t you really be disrespectful to your elder brother. But a family of brothers, who pays so much attention to? It’s common for brothers to fight and fight when they talk, but Gu Mingke avoided it?

There is no expression on Gu Mingke’s face, so he should. He cast his eyes on Li Chaoge, and after hesitating for a moment, he still said, “Thank you Princess Shengyuan. Just now, I was rash.”

Li Chaoge didn’t expect Gu Mingke to apologize to her. With 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 unwilling to admit their mistakes, just like the emperor will admit his mistakes to his courtiers, and the young lady will admit his mistakes to the maids. The upper ones will knock down the silver teeth and blood swallows, and will never bow their heads. Who would think that Gu Mingke could turn around so quickly, and calmly admit that he was adventurous.

Li Chaoge was a little surprised. Gu Mingke might be cold and rigid, but fairness is 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 a big deal, don’t you care. Gu Gongzi is open and upright, I admire him very much.”

Pei Jihong looked around, and didn’t understand why he sprinkled water. The two people got together. Pei Ji’an was standing not far away, naturally did not miss the surprise that flashed across Li Chaoge’s face, and the clearly brightened eyes behind her. As a man, how can Pei Ji’an fail to see? It is a sign that a woman has a stronger affinity for men.

In Pei Ji’an’s heart? Quite a bit? It was a taste. He knew that Li Chaoge’s methods were harsh and defiant, but he never said empty words and falsehoods. She is not as flattering and slanderous as the cruel staff around the queen. If she doesn’t agree, she won’t agree, but since she said it, every word she really thought was what she really wanted.

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 one sentence that was affirmation of his appearance.

Now, she praised the gentleman Gu Mingke for being open and upright. Pei Ji’an was really upset when he thought of his past life.

A man is praised in public by an unmarried woman. This is by no means a social etiquette, it is always a bit peachy. However, the person involved, Gu Mingke, did not respond. He nodded calmly and said: “The princess is absurd. I have cooperated with the ones that should be cooperated. Please chat slowly, I will leave first.”

After he finished speaking, he left without looking back, without any nostalgia. Pei Jihong was a little dazed. Before he could react, he saw the other party also smiled and said coldly: “The outer courtyard has finished reading, I will go to the inner courtyard, Pei Xiang, forgive me.”

Pei Xiang smiled and raised his hand: “There is Princess Lao. Princess please.”

Pei Xiang motioned to the housekeeper next to him to lead the way, Li Chaoge turned around and left, completely disregarding Brother Pei Ji’an, and didn’t even say goodbye to him. Pei Jihong was confused by this series of incidents. He looked at Li Chaoge’s back in surprise. After a while, he whispered to Pei Ji’an: “Brother, does Princess Shengyuan have any opinion on me? Just now she and cousin had a good conversation. Yes, why did she look cold as soon as I came over?”

“Don’t think too much.” Pei Ji’an raised her brother’s frame and said with a face, “Women’s famous festival is precious, shouldn’t it be arranged. Don’t you want to think about it again, go back and endorse.”

Pei Jihong suppressed his joke and said, “Yes.”

After Pei Jihong left, the others gradually dispersed. Pei Ji’an stood alone in the corridor, the evening breeze blew, and the wind chimes on the eaves jingle. Pei Ji’an suddenly remembered a verse, the wind does not move, the tree does not move, but the heart is moving.

Of course, Pei Ji’an knew that Li Chaoge was not against Pei Jihong. In his previous life, Pei Jihong publicly impeached Li Chaoge. As a result, Li Chaoge didn’t worry that he was a brother-in-law when he started, so he sent him directly to Lingnan. Pei Jihong hadn’t suffered much since he was a child. Lingnan was far away from mountains and rivers, and the conditions were bad. In addition, Pei Jihong couldn’t stand the gap, so he died of illness and resentment. Li Chaoge will be retributed, but fortunately, he won’t even get involved. The previous life’s enmity Li Chaoge has already been reported. In this life, as long as Pei Jihong takes the initiative to provoke him, will Li Chaoge embarrass Pei Jihong?

The one she couldn’t get used to, and fearing to avoid it, was Pei Ji’an.

Pei Ji’an took a deep breath, he stood under the eaves and heard the jingle of bells, his heart seemed to be messed up with it.

Li Chaoge came to the inner courtyard, and sure enough, in the courtyard of Mrs. Pei’s family, there was already a room full of people. Hearing Li Chaoge coming in, everyone in the room stood up: “Princess Sheng Yuan.”

Pei Chuyue got up with everyone. She was wearing a blue dress today, standing behind her mother and aunt with her head down, looking inconspicuous. When Li Chaoge entered the house, the first thing he saw was Mrs. Pei who was leaning on the collapse, and then, Mrs. Pei, who was standing at the bottom. Li Chaoge’s gaze swept across the crowd quickly, and when she passed Pei Chuyue, her gaze paused, but she quickly moved away, and saluted Mrs. Pei as if nothing had happened: “Please greet Mrs. Pei.”

Mrs. Pei nodded calmly, with a deep tone, and said: “Princess Sheng Yuan invites you, the old man is not ashamed. The old man has not been in the palace for a long time, don’t you know how good the saint is?”

Just asking the emperor but not the queen, Li Chaoge didn’t hear it, smiled slightly, and said, “The saint is all well, the old lady has a heart.”

“That’s good.” Mrs. Pei nodded heavily. Her gaze fell on Li Chaoge, and she heard that the princess had just been found from the folks, but in this way, she can’t be seen as crude and tacky. She is no different from the princess raised in the palace, but it’s a pity that the prefect woman said. . Mrs. Pei did not express her thoughts, and said to Li Chaoge: “The saint’s well-being is the blessing of the family and the country, and the old body is at ease. Please sit down, princess.”

“I’m not going.” Li Chaoge stood still, although his face was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, “I am here by the emperor’s order, and I will return to the palace for a while, so I won’t stay at Pei’s house for a long time. I am going to exorcise ghosts next, please cooperate with the old lady.”

Mrs. Pei is not quite a bit? I think she is devoted to Buddhism. Is there a thing of Buddhism in Pei Mansion? Mrs. Pei doesn’t think any ghost will invade Pei Mansion at all. What’s more, even if you hire someone to do the trick, you should hire a Taoist monk. What is a teenage girl?

It’s just that this is what the saint meant. Mrs. Pei didn’t say it clearly, but said: “Okay. There is Princess Lao.”

Li Chaoge turned his head and gestured to Ma Linlang with his eyes. The Pei family pays more attention to the defense of men and women, so Bai Qianhe and Zhou Shao did not follow, only Li Chaoge and Ma Linlang, who were dressed as maids, were allowed to enter the Pei family’s inner house. Li Chaoge was not used to the rules of the Pei family in her previous life, but in this life she didn’t want to have anything to do with the Pei family anymore, so she silently endured it and only brought Ma Linlang in.

Anyway, as long as she is there, the demons and ghosts can’t make splashes, and it doesn’t matter if the helper brings them or not.

Ma Linlang has yin and yang eyes and is most sensitive to breath. She clearly feels that this place is different from the previous two mansions. The ladies and wives here didn’t seem to welcome them so much, especially the look of the old lady on the couch, which made Ma Linlang very uncomfortable.

That kind of condescending, the same look of judgment and scrutiny. Ma Linlang knew that he had a humble background and a vulgar manner, which was incomparable to these elegant and high-class families, but what’s the matter with Pei’s family? Doesn’t Mo Linlang? Don’t you owe Pei’s family? Eat Pei’s family, why do they look down on her?

Mo Linlang endured the disgust and sprinkled water on the ladies one by one. Because in my heart? No? Happy, Ma Linlang has a heavy hand when she sprinkles water, who has the most annoying eyes, so she deliberately splashed a lot of water on the other party’s dress. Walking to a rich and solemn middle-aged woman, Ma Linlang paused slightly with the hand of the willow branch.

This lady seems to be of no low status, except for the old lady who is the top one, this should be the most noble one. There was a woman hiding behind this lady. She noticed Ma Linlang’s sight, and the little lady hid behind her, seemingly disliked being seen by outsiders.

Mo Linlang pinched his hand secretly, lowered his eyes, and walked away without incident. Mo Linlang eagerly reminded Li Chaoge, after sprinkling water to perfuse the matter, it was over after a while. She returned to Li Chaoge, and quickly pulled Li Chaoge’s sleeves by the gesture of handing the bottle: “Princess, it’s all right.”

“Yeah.” Li Chaoge replied, her expression dripping, and she bowed slightly to Mrs. Pei at the top, “Lao Pei, it takes three days to complete my ghost-killing talisman. So, today, I temporarily made a few amulets, turned them into the water, and sprinkled them on the ladies and ladies. Excuse me, all the ladies will enshrine today’s clothes in the house after they go back? Don’t let the clothes touch the water within three days. He Huo. As long as the Talisman does not expire, you can be safe and prevent the ghosts from getting close. After three days, I will be able to catch the ghosts.”

Even if Mrs. Pei doesn’t? Believe that there is a ghost in Pei’s family, she is undoubtedly relieved when she hears these words. Their Pei Mansion has a century-old name and a scholarly family. If they are contaminated with strange power and chaos, and become marketers like the Changsun family and the Cao family, it will be more uncomfortable than killing Mrs. Pei. Mrs. Pei nodded and slowly said: “Princess Lao has bothered me, and I thank you.”

“The emperor’s life is here, just do things impartially.” Li Chaoge smiled slightly and said, “The old lady sits down slowly. I will return to the palace first.”

The wife of the Pei family took a few steps, stopped at the door of the house, and the maid led Li Chaoge out of the door. The maid of Pei Mansion walked in front. Seeing Mo Linlang? No one noticed, she quietly walked to Li Chaoge’s side and whispered: “Princess, I saw it. The ghost is on the little lady in green clothes.”

Pei Chuyue is the only person wearing green clothes today. Li Chaoge was not surprised at all, and said: “I know. As soon as I see you from the Pei family, don’t say anything, just don’t you? Know this? There is a ghost, and then I will make my own arrangements.”

Mo Linlang nodded vigorously: “Yes.”

Li Chaoge paid homage to Beepei Palace and walked directly towards Miyagi, looking like he was going to return to the palace. Pei Xiang’s people waited for a while, and watched Li Chaoge’s backs gradually go away, then turned around and plugged in the latch, and went back to do their own thing.

The curfew is about to come, is this time? What guests will be, the door of Pei’s mansion can be locked.

Soon, the curfew drums rang, and the sound of gongs was heard outside. The streets of Luoyang are getting quieter, the afterglows are gone, the lights are on, and the bustling and busy streets in the daytime, at this moment, there are only buildings left behind.

In the past few days, there have been rumors of haunting in the east. The courtyard wall of Pei’s house previously destroyed by monsters has not been repaired. The sky is dark and no one wants to go out. The lights of Pei’s house dimmed indirectly, and gradually, the house fell into silence, and Pei’s house fell asleep up and down.

In the backyard of Pei’s house, the maid turned off the light and went out, leaving only a dim light to show the way. Among the heavy curtains, Pei Chuyue lay with her eyes closed, her breathing was steady, her eyes were motionless, and she seemed to be asleep. The movement outside gradually subsided, and the night watch maid couldn’t help but start to doze. In the darkness, Pei Chuyue opened her eyes quickly, her pupils were inexplicably large, and she didn’t seem to be sleeping at all.

Pei Chuyue sat up straight, got out of the bed barefoot, making no sound while walking. She walked straight to the north wall of the house, where she enshrined a set of clothes with incense, which was exactly what Pei Chuyue was wearing. Pei Chuyue stared at the dress, a sneer slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Pei Chuyue is a young girl at home. She is usually spoiled to grow up. She is carefree, carefree, and has a very innocent and cute temperament. She rarely shows such a distorted expression. But now, Pei Chuyue looked at the clothes with a sneer, slowly hooked up with her fingers, and fell to the ground as soon as she let go.

“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 a mere straw bag. You deserve it too?”

Pei Chuyue slammed her arm lightly, and the censer on the table fell on the pile of clothes, and the unburned thread was looming. Pei Chuyue sat in front of the mirror like this, without turning on the light, facing the black figures in the mirror, slowly combing her hair.

She has very flexible hands, she seems to be used to doing this kind of thing, and she soon finished her hair bun. She looked at the figure in the mirror with satisfaction, got up and went behind the landing hood. There, a beautiful wedding dress was put on a hanger.

Miss Shijia has been preparing the dowry since she was born. Although Pei Chuyue is not yet engaged, her wedding gown has been embroidered for most of her. She changed into the wedding gown and stroked the exquisite mandarin duck embroidered pattern with her fingers. She looked a pity: “Such a beautiful wedding gown, it’s a pity that we haven’t finished embroidering it.”

Don’t the vigil maid? Knowing when she fell asleep, she was awakened by the smell of smoke. She coughed and opened her eyes, and was surprised to find that the flames in the young lady’s boudoir were already burning!

The vigil maid was startled, and hurriedly jumped up to put out the fire. She was stunned in her heart while shouting for someone. She has been learning to serve people since she was born, and she has become used to serving with her. Why did she not notice it this time when it caught fire?

The vigil maid endured her cough, and she was pouring tea or covering things, and finally put out the fire. Fortunately, it was a piece of clothing that was burning. The sparks were small and easy to control, and did not cause a catastrophe. At this time, the vigil maid looked closely, and found that it was Princess Sheng Yuan’s clothes that Qian Jingwan had told her that she must not touch water and fire.

The maid frowned, thinking something was wrong? Too right. Why is this suit on fire? There was such a big movement as she put out the fire just now. It is reasonable that the maidservant in the maiden’s yard should have woken up long ago, but after such a long time, there was not even a person to question.

Besides, there is a fire in the room, people can’t hear it? Forget it, how can the lady not hear? The vigil maid suddenly had a cold back and gave birth to a very bad premonition. She rushed to the bed, lifted the curtains hard, and found that the bed was empty. She stretched out her hand and found it was cold.

The maid looked around and noticed that the things on the dressing table had been moved, and the wedding gown for the lady behind the screen was gone.

·

Wearing a green wedding gown, Pei Chuyue walked slowly in the empty courtyard with a fan in her hand. The surrounding area was very quiet, except that the night wind passed through the shadow of the tree and made a rattling sound.

The embroidered shoes on her feet are delicate and soft, and each step seems to leave a lotus mark. Pei Chuyue walked all the way to the atrium, which was the largest and most grand main courtyard of the Pei family. It was only used for weddings and funerals throughout the year. Pei Chuyue covered her face with a ball fan and stood slowly. She was obviously the only one, but she kept a place next to her.

It seems that there is also a person there.

The clouds are surging and the moon is sinking, a large group of dark clouds cover the moon, and the shadows on the ground also appear from time to time. Facing Zhengbei, Pei Chuyue bowed slowly.

Worship the world and get married.

These young ladies are timid and want to marry their cousins, 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 their rules, the relationship between the two of them has been broken in this life, and they can only look forward to continuing their relationship in the next life. However, for the Yin Division, the so-called yin and yang different paths are not a problem. What about when people die? What if they get married.

“Pei Chuyue” bowed to Zhengbei Jiaojiao, then she turned around, leaned over and bowed to the empty seat.

Two worship Gaotang, live and die together.

There is a saying in the world that marry a chicken with a chicken, and a dog with a dog. Since you are married, you must go to the underworld to serve your husband.

After “Pei Chuyue” had finished paying her respects, she turned around and bowed to the empty courtyard as if there was another person across from her.

The husband and wife worship, and since then, they can’t go back.

She helped Pei Chuyue realize her wish, and after that, it was her turn to collect payment.

The body that belonged to Pei Chuyue was bowing, and suddenly a flying knife flew from the opposite side, which knocked off the group fan in front of Pei Chuyue with a bang, interrupting the ceremony of worship of the couple. “Pei Chuyue” Huo De raised her head, her pupils dilated and dim, like a blind person. However, relying on the voice, she still turned accurately in the direction the voice came from: “Who?”

On the opposite roof, Bai Qianhe silently shrank to Li Chaoge’s side: “Princess, I’m a little scared.”

“Less? Nonsense.” Li Chaoge was very disgusted, kicked him under the corner, “Go and work!”
