On the top floor of the three-story tower, there is a table of eight immortals in the center, and on the table is a red sandalwood makeup box.The woman who walked at the end seemed closer to Li Haitang after talking, and whispered in the little girl's ear about the origin of the red sandalwood box.Li Haitang, who had never even seen broken silver, seemed to see a treasure trove, and she stood next to the table of the eight immortals and stared at the red sandalwood box stupidly.This makeup box is so special, like the fairy baby used by the fairy fairy in the story of Sister Xiaolan when I was a child.The dosage box is carved from a single piece of fine rosewood, which is already a rarity with this piece of fine wood that is rare in a century.Exquisitely carved flowers of the four seasons, the dazzling seven-colored gemstones are carved into small openwork flowers, set on the delicate undulating flowers and entwined branches, which are even more amazing and ingenious.One hand gently pushed Li Haitang, causing her forehead to hit the carved edge of the Eight Immortals table.She looked back to see a woman staring at her with fierce eyes, and the fat hand on her shoulder pushed down with gravity."
This kid is really ignorant, stand in the back and wait."
The woman who was more familiar with Li Haitang helped her up and pulled her behind her, and said with a smiling face: "Sister-in-law Mo, don't be angry, the children in our family are young and ignorant, you must look at my face and spare her."
After sending the Mo Da girl to ascend to immortality, I quietly told her in private that Lao Ziniang would take back the heavy punishment.Sister-in-law Mo looks at me, don't be angry, ah!
”The Mo woman glanced coldly at the shrunken Li Haitang, put up her money and said proudly: "Five years later, it will be your Li family who will undertake the matter of worshipping the ancestors, right?"
It's time to discipline the people in your clan, don't wait for five years to be embarrassed, and let the people of all ethnic groups follow the scolding of their ancestors. ”"Sister-in-law Mo has taught me a lesson."
The woman's respectful blessing, the body still blocked the chestnut begonia, protecting her.Li Haitang didn't dare to come out, even if she hung her head, she could feel countless contemptuous and fierce eyes surrounding her.She secretly annoyed that she was too reckless just now, even if she was beaten, she deserved it.Fortunately, the lady of the same clan protected her, and when she turned around, she would tell her mother to thank the lady of the same clan for her protection.The women from the Eight Great Families used the golden keys in the white porcelain tray to open the silver lock on the glass cover on the outside of the red sandalwood box.The glass cover is fixed with a gold skeleton in the form of a square box, and the top cover is locked by a delicate silver lock, which can only be opened by eight gold keys inserted into the eight key holes on the surface of the silver lock and twisted at the same time.The glass cover is only dustproof but not burglar, so why add a silver lock that must be opened with eight gold keys at the same time?
Li Haitang was puzzled.The Rosewood Bowl was carefully taken out from the glass cover by the Mo Woman and the Chestnut Woman, and the other six women stood on either side with their hands under their hands, and slowly moved to the square table next to them as if they were protecting rare treasures.Li Haitang only discovered at this time that the glass cover was integrated with the Eight Immortals Table.If you want to take out the ornaments in the red sandalwood box, you can only open the glass lid on the top layer."
Okay, okay, let's go down and put on makeup and change clothes for Miss Mo."
The Mo woman was smiling, and today she went out with the common treasure box of the eight major families in her hands, which is the dream of all women.The Li woman handed the tray holding the wedding dress to Li Haitang, "Be careful when you go downstairs, don't fall." ”"Whoa!"
Li Haitang gently agreed, and cautiously followed behind the Mo woman with the tray of the wedding dress.I don't know why, her heart hurts every step she takes.Not daring to look at the offering table on the second floor, she hurriedly followed the Mo woman downstairs with her head down, and the moment she stepped out of the tower gate, the tears in her eyes could no longer be suppressed.Fortunately, there was a snow crepe veil covering the head, and tears wet the snow crepe, so that the wedding dress was not stained.Back in the apse of the Pavilion, the eight patriarchs had already left, leaving only four women to serve Mo Xinlan in the bath, and they were drying their long black hair in front of the dressing table."
Miss Mo, we have invited the red sandalwood box, and the wedding clothes are also ready, please put on makeup and change clothes."
The Mo woman respectfully stepped forward with a red sandalwood box and placed it on the dresser.Mo Xinlan glanced at it coldly, and looked back at the silent little girl, "Sister Begonia, you come to serve me to change clothes." ”"Yes."
Li Haitang hung his head, bent his knees and blessed, and followed behind Mo Xinlan with a wedding dress and bypassed the carved eight screens.Mo Xinlan casually brought the wedding dress and deliberately said loudly: "Sister Begonia, serve me and wear a wedding dress, you leave from the side door."
Your mother should be waiting in the small courtyard outside the ancestral hall at this time. ”"Yes.Thank you, Miss Mo, for showing the way. ”Li Haitang handed Mo Xinlan a piece of clothing, and looked at her wearing a red wedding dress in the style of a maid, neither sad nor happy, nor angry or resentful, as she said, she accepted her fate.Mo Xinlan hugged the little girl lovingly, lamenting that she was as immature and ignorant as Li Haitang five years ago.But it's a little different, she was stupid back then, and the Li Haitang in front of her was very clever."
Good sister, remember my sister's words, and hold your life in your own hands.""
Hmm.Sister Xiaolan rest assured, I must remember the teachings and dare not forget them. ”"Good sister, let's go.It's heavy here, and you'll go crazy if you stay for a long time. ”Mo Xinlan touched Li Haitang's immature little face and pushed her to the side door.Dressed in a red wedding dress but not for marrying, she is the daughter of the ancestors in the world, and in the other world, she is the maidservant who serves the ancestors in place of the clansmen of the eight families.Mo Xinlan glanced at the side door where Li Haitang disappeared, how many times did she go from that side door to find that man in the past five years?
Five times?
Or ten times?"
Miss Mo, please put on makeup, don't miss the auspicious time.""
Just come."
Mo Xinlan smiled coldly, wiped away a crystal tear from the corner of her eyes with her fingers, and walked out with her head held high, like a strong man who died generously and never looked back.Li Haitang, who ran out of the side door of the apse, ran wildly with all his strength to the west.According to what Mo Xinlan said before, she ran along the long sandwich road to the north backyard, and sure enough, she saw a small pond in front of her.A short distance west along the flowing water of the pond was a high courtyard wall, and she peeled open the tall withered yellow weeds, and sure enough, she saw a dog hole under the wall hidden in the weeds.Li Haitang looked around vigilantly to make sure that there was not even a bird in the yard, so she crawled and knelt through the dog hole, and turned back to restore the weeds to their original state, so as not to be discovered.The back garden of Wuxinyuan is very elegantly maintained, and the white chrysanthemums in the courtyard are shrouded in a faint layer of warmth under the afterglow of the sunset.There is a table and four stools in the wooden pavilion in the center of the flower garden, and a guqin is placed on the table, but the person who strokes the qin is unknown."
Who are you, girl?
How is it here?
”An abrupt voice frightened the chestnut begonia.She jerked her head up and saw a boy her own age staring curiously at her with a broomstick.Li Haitang stood up, patted the sludge off her dress, and said, "I was sent by Sister Mo Xinlan to see a dead man. ”"Dead people?"
The boy was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but laugh, and corrected, "It's the living dead." ”Li Haitang blinked her eyes and recalled the words that Mo Xinlan had told in her ear, she nodded embarrassedly, rubbed her hands and said embarrassedly: "Yes, Sister Xiaolan is talking about the living dead."
I'm sorry I said it wrong in a hurry. ”"It turns out that you were sent by the ancestor daughter.That......
Whether my master wants to see you or not depends on your fate.If you're not afraid, come with me. ”The boy took a broom to lead the way in front, Li Haitang didn't dare to look around, lowered his head and quietly followed the boy through the verandah, to a rockery in the front garden.The boy put down his broom and pointed to the pavilion on the rockery, "Look, the master is drinking tea there." ”Li Haitang raised her eyes and frowned.For some reason, even looking at the man's back from a distance made her tremble with fear, more terrifying than seeing her angry father."
You wait here, I'll go and tell my master.""
I'm tired" Li Haitang thanked her slightly, and looked at the pavilion on the top of the rockery with anxiety.The boy turned around and walked along the stone steps of the rockery, and only halfway up the mountain he heard a warm voice coming from the pavilion on the top of the rockery."
Let her come up!"
