Xie Yixiao had no idea what was going on with Gu You. She had been quietly staying in the yard these past few days, busying herself, like a hardworking and happy little bee.
The hibiscus flower petals were dried and ground into powder, and mixed with some spices. She made two boxes of incense pills and some incense sticks and coils.
Because hibiscus has a good repellent effect, incense balls can be placed in incense balls when going out to avoid insect bites. Incense sticks and coils are used to light. It repels mosquitoes in summer and has the same effect as mosquito coils.
resemblance.
If you have moved to a new home or the house has not been occupied for a long time, it is also very suitable for indoor insect repellent.
It's summer now, and mosquitoes have already come out. On the day it was made, Xie Yixiao had people light incense sticks under the eaves. The faint fragrance curled up, and many mosquitoes in the yard dispersed.
There are actually many incense products with similar effects sold outside, but for some reason, it seems more comfortable to use the ones you make yourself.
Because it was nothing new, Xie Yixiao did not give it away this time. He gave some of the incense sticks to Ming Xin Ming Jing, and put the rest away for later use.
She made some scented teas from roses, some were dried alone, and some were mixed with red dates, longan, chrysanthemum, wolfberry, blood and health tea, rose lotus leaves, jasmine roses, etc. She could drink them slowly and for a while.
As for the rose that doesn't go well with it, I'll leave it like this for now.
On this day, Xie Yixiao had just had breakfast, watered some flowers in the yard, sat down to make a pot of tea, and was going to read a book for a while.
She likes to look at various recipes, aromatic music, and travel notes, and find things from them that she can take out for good reasons.
At this time, Mingxin hurried over from outside. As soon as she entered the yard, she shouted: "Girl, girl, it's not good!"
Xie Yixiao raised his eyes: "What's the matter?"
"Big deal!" Mingxin breathed a sigh of relief, "Girl, my wife has invited two Taoist priests to come over!"
"What?" Xie Yixiao was so shocked that he stood up, "Invite a Taoist priest? What do you want a Taoist priest to do?"
She felt a little uneasy.
Ming Xin explained: "I heard people say that I am afraid that I have to exorcise evil spirits from the eldest girl..."
Xie Yixiao: "?!"
She was shocked: "Exorcism?"
Mingxin nodded vigorously: "It's to drive away evil spirits."
Xie Yixiao didn't know what to say for a moment. She had actually thought about it a long time ago. Gu You was so unscrupulous and acted so strangely. Others were not fools. How could they not see it?
Before, I just thought that her temperament had changed drastically, as if she had changed into a different person, and I didn't think about it. But once I did, there were more doubts about it.
This time twice, one day or two, something was wrong. It was easy to say that she was in a bad mood or was stimulated, but if it was too much, no one was stupid after all.
In fact, in the past few days, there have been some vague rumors in the house, saying that Gu You was possessed by something dirty, and that's why his temperament changed drastically and became like this.
"Girl, now Madam has led the Taoist priest to Youruoyuan, should we go and have a look?" Mingxin asked, not that she wanted to watch the fun, because Gu You and Xie Yixiao have always had a good relationship.
, the two of them are like sisters, so they are a little worried about Gu You's condition.
Xie Yi smiled and his heart skipped a beat, then shook his head: "I won't go."
Although she is also a little curious, her background is not right. If the Taoist priest invited has no ability, it will be just a show of pretense, which is meaningless. However, if she meets someone with ability, there is no guarantee that she will not be discovered.
Wasn't she going to die?
Is she stupid?
Ming Xin saw that her expression softened and asked in a low voice: "Well, if the girl doesn't go, can I go and have a look?"
Xie Yi smiled and nodded: "You can go if you want."
Ming Xin saw that she had agreed and hurriedly walked towards You Ruoyuan.
Xie Yixiao was sitting on a chair under the eaves, with a table beside him, freshly brewed rose and red date tea on it, and a book beside him.
She closed her eyes, feeling restless and unable to watch anymore.
She sat there quietly, as the sun gradually rose in the sky. The flowers and leaves in the yard in the morning were already dripping with dew that had condensed overnight. The sun's rays made her face clear and soft.
Two butterflies came to collect honey, fluttering their wings and flying around.
The maids were also busy going back and forth in the yard, also quietly.
Time passed bit by bit, and she didn't know how long it had passed. She felt that her lips were a little dry. When she came to her senses and wanted to pour herself a cup of tea, she suddenly heard a scream.
The sound was so loud that her hands trembled in fright. The teapot in her hand fell down and hit the table. It rolled around and then fell to the ground with a bang. The white porcelain teapot rolled around on the ground.
Tea spilled all over the table and floor, and even the books were soaked.
"girl!"
"girl!"
The busy maid heard the scream and rushed over. When she saw Xie Yixiao throwing the teapot, she rushed forward, rescued the books on the table, and picked up the white porcelain pot on the ground.
.
The quality of this teapot is pretty good, because the handle fell to the ground first and broke the handle, but the rest is fine.
"Girl, are you scared?" Ming Jing hurried over, asked someone to clean up the situation, and helped Xie Yixiao to the side.
Because Xie Yixiao is getting engaged soon, Ming Jing has also become busy. He has been checking things in the warehouse in the past few days, so he is not always by Xie Yixiao's side.
Xie Yixiao felt a little relieved. She stretched out her hand to cover her chest. She felt that her heartbeat had stopped just now. That cry seemed to make people's soul tremble.
"I'm fine, I'm just a little scared."
Ming Jing quickly ordered: "Go and see what's going on? Where is Ming Xin? Where did she go?"
Hongcha quickly said: "Sister Mingxin went to Youruoyuan. This voice seems to be... It seems to be the voice of an older girl?"
The people present also remembered that the voice did indeed sound like Gu You's.
"There's no need to go. Wait for her to come back and quickly clean up. Then go change the pot and bring a pot of tea."
Ming Jing asked Xie Yixiao to go back to the room to sit for a while and drink some tea to calm down his shock.
After Xie Yixiao had just drank a cup of tea, Ming Xin came back as expected, and a group of girls quickly gathered around him.
"What's going on? What's going on?"
"what happened?"
"Who was shouting just now?"
Ming Xin said hurriedly: "I'm going to see the girl first, and I'll talk to you later, give it a try."
The girls had no choice but to get out of the way, and Ming Xin entered the room. Without waiting for Xie Yixiao and Ming Jing to speak, she started talking about the matter:
"When the slave passed by, the madam had just led the Taoist priest into the gate of Youruoyuan. However, the madam sent people to guard the house and prevented anyone from entering. She also sent everyone who came around the house away."
"My slave was smart and climbed a tree, and happened to see what was happening in the yard."
"My wife asked someone to open the main door of the main room and escorted the eldest girl out. The Taoist priest took a look and counted with his fingers, and said that the eldest girl had indeed been taken over by something that didn't know where it came from. He wanted to open an altar to do something.
Get rid of the dirty things in the big girl’s body.”
"As soon as the eldest girl saw the Taoist priest, her face changed drastically. When she saw that the Taoist priest said this and how to open the altar, she started struggling..."
