Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 58 Dragon Boat Festival

Lin Zisu laughed out loud and said, "Do you think I am interested in him?"

She saw Lve Ying shaking his head, taking a deep breath, and said: "After all, he is a prince. Since we can't stop him, we might as well take advantage of him to get more benefits for the house."

After sending Lv Ying away, Lin Zisu took advantage of the coolness of the morning and had another beautiful sleep, and didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up, everyone in the house knew that the eldest lady's yard was haunted.

It was more than half the time before Lin Zisu arrived at Bi's courtyard to say hello.

Although time passed, I didn't expect that Huang still lingered on, chatting with Bi, asking about any girls of Lin Fangfeng's age in the capital.

When she saw Lin Zisu, Mrs. Huang looked gloating and sneered: "Girls are restless every day. They go out and show their faces every day. Now they must have messed with something dirty."

Lin Zisu didn't expect that her second aunt would be here. Ever since Huang came to the house, she had never paid attention to her mother. She didn't know what she wanted to do today. She must have had uneasy intentions when she came to her mother's yard.

Lin Zisu remembered her father's teachings from the previous two days, ignored Huang, and just smiled lightly.

Bi's face couldn't help but turned cold, and said: "Brother and sister, you usually say some sarcastic things, and I don't let you talk nonsense. But the eldest sister is smart and well-behaved. She has only been studying since she was a child, and she left the house in one year.

There are only a handful of times, so why are you restless?"

Huang rolled her eyes and curled her lips and said, "Girls don't want to take the first prize exam and become an official, so what's the use of studying? Sister-in-law, look at my eldest sister. She doesn't even talk about learning some embroidery these days. She doesn't know how to follow her elder brother.

I'm messing around with something."

No matter who created this rune, he or she hopes that he will be safe after all. Even if he is possessed, he only wants to ward off disasters and ward off evil spirits, hoping that he will be safe from disasters.

As soon as she finished speaking, Liang Wanyi said with a smile: "Ah Yue, I'll treat you with admiration after three days of separation. You have made great progress recently."

It's not even May this year, but the weather is already very hot. The sky has been clear every day for the past few days, and at noon, the room is as stuffy as a steamer.

The steward was still sitting down chatting with Mr. Bi. When he met Lin Zisu, the new boss, he knelt down and knelt down and saluted, saying: "My family has been lingering on the bed for many years. Thanks to the girl's magic medicine, the crisis has been turned into peace. Miss

They are the little reborn parents!”

A young eunuch beside him responded in a low voice: "The people from the princess's mansion just sent a letter, saying that the rain is too heavy right now. The prince-in-law feels sorry for the eldest princess's frail body, and is still waiting for the rain to stop at the mansion."

Lin Zisu heard from Feicui that a woman came to her house to thank her for curing her illness.

Lin Zisu was quite confused after hearing this. When she arrived at the flower hall in front, she recognized the person who came. It was actually the manager of Xinghe Silver Building.

Lin Zisu said a few words of humility, handed the banknote to Bi, and said: "Mother, this is the time when our family needs money. It's up to you to use the money."

The girls wrote poems one by one. Liang Wanyi felt itching to read them. When she saw that Lin Zisu had no intention of showing off her talent, she went to the desk alone and wrote a poem with seven rhymes.

Thinking that the person who posted the talisman was very careless, the piece of paper was wrinkled and looked very annoying. Lin Zisu thought for a while and smoothed the wrinkles of the talisman with force.

Once she recognized the meaning of the runes, Lin Zisu felt relieved.

He then stood up from his seat and said loudly: "Every distinguished guest comes to support me. I really appreciate it. I wanted to go to the middle of the lake to have fun with you, but I didn't want to encounter this heavy rain. Fortunately, the scenery here is nice. Let's

Appreciating the rain and discussing poetry are also joyful things in life."

When the steward stood up to leave, Bi took Lin Zisu's hand, stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "It's really not easy for the eldest sister in our family to be able to treat people at such an age."

With Luo Yue's poem, the other girls' doubts were gone and they were ready to show off their talents.

As an old saying goes, if there is no rain on the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be plenty of food and clothing. If there is rain on the Dragon Boat Festival, there will be disasters for people and ghosts.

Without Mrs. Huang present, Ms. Bi asked: "Sister, I heard that there was a ghost in your yard last night? Are the people in the yard okay?"

The maid on the side picked up the rice paper and recited a new poem written by Luo Yue in a melodious tone: "After the rain, the lotus clothes are wet, and the wind makes the willow silk cool. The sky is blue, and the sound of frogs enters the gallery."

Luo Yue raised her chin proudly and said, "That's natural. I've been working very hard recently. Even the officials in our house praised my rapid progress!"

Behind Lin Zisu's house is a bamboo forest. No one comes here on weekdays, so no one pays attention to the talismans here.

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed, and went to have a meal together. The summer noon was scorching hot, and after the meal, Lin Zisu was sweating profusely due to the heat. Mrs. Bi took great pity and asked someone to get ice from the cellar.

An ice basin was prepared for Lin Zisu.

Lin Zisu was sure that Yang Xingyao had taught her a few words about stewardship. She didn't know what kind of medicine Yang Xingyao was selling in his gourd, so she had no choice but to obey.

Bi rarely interfered with her children's private affairs on weekdays. When Huang talked about it, she remembered that Lin Wenjing seemed to have praised Lin Zisu in her ears two days ago, so she asked kindly: "Sister, how have you been with me these days?"

What kind of power is your brother using?"

Bi Shi also smiled and said: "Let me tell you, your house is blessed by the runes of Master Lingyun of Yuanjue Temple. Even if there is a ghost in our house, it will not be in your yard."

King Wei Xie Shanxin was the younger brother of Emperor Zhengxing Xie Shanyuan, and he was the city defender of this generation.

Then the maid read Liang Wanyi's poem.

"The west wind blows hibiscus from the water, and the green peaks are decorated with ten feet of red. It is not that the fragrance can relieve the vulgarity, but because of the heat, it makes me feel sleepy. The dew holds the celestial palms toward the moon, and the dragon's beards wave in the evening. The pines are whistling in the evening. The good scenery and good night should not be missed, don't say goodbye

Frequently drunk with the richness of Yuquan."

Although Zhang Yutong was in harmony with Liang Wanyi, anyone with a discerning eye could see that they were secretly comparing themselves to each other.

Lin Zisu chuckled lightly and said, "I just feel that the weather has been a bit hot recently, so my brother and I made a new appliance to relieve the heat at home."

"What are you talking about? The girl has superb medical skills and can cure the disease with her medicine. The consultation fee is not excessive at all."

Occasionally, I got up and remembered the Dragon Boat Festival Poetry Festival, so I tried to practice calligraphy and painting, and my life was very comfortable.

When they arrived at the courtyard, Lin Zisu went straight to the back of her house. After searching carefully, she saw a talisman stuck in the middle of the back wall.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. Bi's casual words made Lin Zisu murmur in her heart. She chatted with Bi for a few words and then returned to her yard.

Xie Xi, just wait and lose your money!

Coincidentally, just as Lin Zisu made her decision, someone sent money over at noon.

Not long after Zhang Yutong finished the poem, the maid on the side also read it out in public as usual.

Compared with Liang Wanyi's poems, Zhang Yutong's poems are no less bold and bold, but also contain some subtle elegance, which perfectly complement each other.

"Okay, okay, if you make a fool of yourself later, don't say that eldest sister didn't protect you," Luo Ying said with a doting look on her face, and then gave up her seat in front of the desk.

Hearing Changsui mention the eldest princess of Nankang, Xie Yan sneered and whispered to himself: "My cousin is really lucky!"

Just now, a few girls were worried that they were not good enough and were hesitant in their hearts, wondering whether they should show off their skills today.

After carefully identifying it for a while, Lin Zisu was a little bit dumbfounded. This talisman was just a common talisman to remove disasters on the market, and it was stuck upside down. At first glance, she didn't recognize it.

Luo Yue said: "Don't you hear that 'frogs are everywhere by the grass pond'? Wherever there is a pond, there must be frogs croaking. If there is no frog sound now, they must have been scared away by us."

Without waiting for Lin Zisu to be polite, the steward held out a few silver notes and said: "I can't repay the girl for saving her life. There are 4,500 taels of silver here, which is considered as the medical fee I paid. Please

Don’t dislike me, girl.”

Lin Zisu had read many related books, and the patterns on various talismans were familiar to her, but she had never seen the patterns on this talisman.

Lin Zisu understood. This was the income of the two shops that Yang Xingyao had mentioned. Unexpectedly, he found such an excuse. It seemed that he expected to receive the money, so he happily took the banknote.

Said: "It's just a small effort, it's a waste of money to trouble the young lady."

"Has the prince consort arrived yet?" Xie Yan asked impatiently.

Luo Yue started writing as soon as he picked up the pen, brushed a few strokes, and then finished it with one swipe. He said proudly: "It's rare that my literary thoughts are flowing today. I will definitely make you admire me."

After Xie Yan finished speaking, there were only a few answers, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Through the rain curtain, he saw his eldest concubine, Luo Ying, greeting female guests in another water pavilion not far away, and a trace of disgust flashed across his face.

With a look on his face, he ordered the young eunuch: "Go and talk to the concubine, we have already started."

"The wind returns to the country of water, and the jade dew is cool, and the emerald servant girls reflect the dawn makeup. The lightness wants to dance in front of the flowers, and the chaos is suspected of the fragrance at the bottom of the leaves. The jade cup in the sky is drunk, and the stockings in front of people make poetry crazy. Who can be drunk with a bottle of turbid wine? Let's drink it.

Let’s sing by the evening pond.”

The little eunuch opened his umbrella and ran along the winding corridor in the pond. He arrived at the water pavilion opposite and conveyed Xie Yan's words to Luo Ying.

Another girl on the side smiled and asked: "Ah Yue, there have been no frog sounds today. Where did the frog sounds in your poem come from?"

Recalling that Bi Shi said that he specifically asked Master Lingyun for help, he couldn't help but be shocked. That monk looked like he was no ordinary person. What was the purpose of posting such a talisman in his yard?

In previous years, the poetry gathering in Prince Wei's Mansion was always overcrowded, but today it was postponed for nearly half an hour due to the heavy rain. Seeing that the time was almost over, less than 60% of the invited guests came.

This poem was bold and straightforward. All the girls in the water pavilion cheered loudly, and their voices were faintly transmitted to the water pavilion on the other side.

Luo Yue made a face at Luo Ying and said, "Isn't it okay for me to offer you advice?"

Traditionally, when a vassal king comes of age, he will leave the capital for a fiefdom country, but the closest vassal king among his peers will be left in the capital to replace the emperor in offering sacrifices when necessary, attend various ceremonies, and stay to supervise the country when the emperor leaves the capital.

, called the city-guarding king.

This year's poetry meeting in Prince Wei's Mansion was still hosted by Xie Yan, the crown prince of Wei. He had hosted the poetry meeting for five consecutive years. This was the first time that it encountered heavy rain. Seeing the sparse guests at the carefully arranged poetry venue, he felt quite sad.

Not happy.

Lin Zisu smiled and said: "What can be the problem? It's just the two maids below. After being busy these past two days, they were a little sleepy due to the heat. They went to bed earlier than usual, and they had the idea of ​​being haunted.

"

The rain outside the water pavilion has stopped, and there is a light mist on the pond. Zhang Yutong, who had been sitting quietly, stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Liang's poem is really very magnanimous. The younger sister is not talented, and

Make a harmonious poem and sing it to my sister."

There were only a few people in the water pavilion. Luo Yue was sitting with Lin Zisu and Liang Wanyi. Hearing what his eldest sister said, he immediately stood up and said excitedly: "I'll come! Sister, I'll come first!"

Luo Ying nodded, stood in front of the bookcase in the middle of the water pavilion, and said: "Dear sisters, the shower of lotus leaves today is quite poetic. Which sister is willing to take the lead, please come up and give it a try."

Everyone was in a water pavilion in the middle of the lake, and outside the water pavilion was a lotus pond. At this time, heavy rain poured down, and the rain hit the lotus leaves, making a crisp knocking sound, which drowned out Xie Yan's voice.

Ms. Bi was still worried about hiding ice at home, but she didn't have the extra money to go to the market to buy it. When Lin Zisu said that there was a device to relieve the heat, her eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a smile: "That's good, I'm still worried about it."

There’s not enough ice.”

This time, not only Lin Zisu was surprised, but even Bi Shi was a little surprised. Bi Shi never expected that such a large sum of money fell out of thin air. Bi Shi opened her mouth wide and looked at Lin Zisu.

The Dragon Boat Festival arrived in a blink of an eye. Strangely enough, it had been sunny for more than ten days, but on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, it started pouring rain.

Luo Ying smiled helplessly and said: "Ah Yue, there is still more ink in your stomach than wine, so don't come here to show your shame."

Liang Wanyi's handwriting was elegant and graceful. As soon as she finished the last word, a girl next to her praised her crisply, "Miss Liang's handwriting is so beautiful!"

Since her family valued her so much, she had to do something for the family. Lin Zisu suddenly felt so proud.

As the steward said, he smiled at Mr. Bi and said, "Madam's teachings are good. The young lady in your house has such medical skills at such a young age. Her future is bound to be limitless."

Seeing that Mrs. Bi and Lin Zisu were chatting happily, Mr. Huang made trouble for his boss, and without being polite to Mr. Bi, he stood up and walked out of the room.

Due to the hot weather, Lin Zisu spent the remaining few days as a lady without leaving home. She spent every day in the study room, studying the materials that could be used for the seven-wheel fan blades and her brother's mechanism.

principle.

Liang Wanyi was still greeting Lin Zisu to come and appreciate her poem. When she saw Zhang Yutong's beautiful and elegant small regular script with hairpins, she secretly admired it in her heart.

Bi did not refuse, solemnly collected the banknote, and said with a smile: "This money comes just in time. My eldest sister will grow up soon, and it is time to buy a dowry. I will collect it for you first.

With this money, I will be strong enough to marry into my husband's family."

Zhang Yutong stood in front of the case and thought for a moment, then started writing.

Liang Wanyi felt no hostility at all and said with a smile: "Miss Zhang's poem is really good, much better than my poem."

As soon as Liang Wanyi and Zhang Yutong's poems came out, some girls who originally wanted to try it suddenly stopped.

Seeing that no one came back to the case, Luo Ying smiled and said: "Since there are no new poems, I will send these poems to the prince. I heard that Qi's consort will also be here today, and I will listen to his comments later."

As soon as Luo Ying finished speaking, a figure stood up and said, "Prince Princess, can you let me have a try?"
