Infinite flow: The non-African's partner is the European emperor
Chapter 66 Horror Manor 2
It was two hours later when Chen Xuan and the housekeeper came back.
As soon as they came back, they asked the servants to call them into the main hall. Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang sat in the front, and the housekeeper and Chen Xuan stood in front of them.
When Xie Fei and the others arrived, they happened to hear the housekeeper say that the young lady next door was indeed not married and that Mr. Liang, the father of that young lady Liang, was very willing to the ghost marriage.
The fortune teller hasn't arrived yet, so Mr. Wang took out his eldest son's birth date and wanted Chen Xuan to calculate it.
Chen Xuan was somewhat flattered. Did he really believe in his ability? He hadn't even considered this yet!
"Young Taoist priest, don't refuse. I will reward you handsomely after I figure it out." Master Wang waved his hand and gave out more than ten silver dollars.
Chen Xuan still agreed, not for the money, after all, the plot still had to go on.
He used the knowledge he had learned throughout his life to calculate the birth dates of the two deceased people, and found that they were quite compatible.
After telling Mr. Wang the result of the calculation, Mr. Wang was overjoyed and immediately asked people to go next door to discuss the ghost marriage.
The servant who had gone to look for the fortune teller also came back, saying that the fortune teller had gone on a long journey.
Xie Fei couldn't help but think: "Isn't this too much of a coincidence?" He guessed that Master Wang would definitely hand the ghost marriage matter over to Chen Xuan.
Sure enough, after the servants left, Master Wang began to ask Chen Xuan if he knew the steps of a ghost marriage.
That's such a coincidence, Chen Xuan really can do it.
But Chen Xuan didn't look very happy, and seemed to be very resistant to this matter. However, after looking at Xie Fei and the others, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
He sighed and said, "Ghost marriage is a combination of red and white weddings, just like ordinary weddings. The first step is to have a matchmaker introduce the two parties, and then go to the life coffin to match the marriage and obtain the dragon and phoenix cards."
What he said made perfect sense, and Mr. Wang admired him even more. He had never expected that this young gentleman was a man of real ability.
Mr. Wang quickly arranged for someone to find a matchmaker, and then he took his housekeeper to next door to discuss the ghost marriage with Mr. Liang in detail.
When they leave, Chen Xuan has to go with them, after all, he has to explain the detailed steps of the ghost marriage in detail.
As for Xie Fei and the others, they were assigned to take turns guarding the mourning hall and preparing supplies for ghost marriages.
Xie Fei glanced at Zhou Xing, then whispered a few words to him. After Zhou Xing nodded, he left when no one was paying attention.
This copy has item restrictions, and the invisibility cloak cannot be used, but Xie Fei has an invisibility talisman, which can still be used, and there is no time limit. The invisibility will only become invalid when the talisman is taken off.
He first sent a message to Chen Xuan, then stuck the invisibility talisman on his body. When he walked to the door, he found Chen Xuan waiting for him.
After seeing him coming, Chen Xuan told the housekeeper that he was ready and could set off.
Xie Fei planned to follow along to see what was going on. Since the main plot revealed that it was a ghost bride, it could be Liang Xiaoying who fell into the water and died.
After walking to the next door, Xie Fei discovered that the layout of the Liang family and the Wang family was exactly the same. The place where Liang Xiaoying fell into the water was in the small patio, which was separated from the small patio of the Wang family by a wall. There was an abandoned old well in both places.
"Brother Liang, I came to you this time to discuss marriage."
There was no trace of sadness on Mr. Liang's face over the death of his daughter. Instead, he greeted Mr. Wang warmly.
"Brother, your housekeeper came here before. I think this is a good idea. My daughter is already old enough to get married, but I didn't expect... Well, we have been neighbors for many years, and it's not too late for us to become in-laws now."
Xie Fei discovered that Mr. Liang's words seemed to be a little anxious, as if he couldn't wait to send his recently deceased daughter away.
There must be something wrong behind this.
Xie Fei glanced at the front yard and saw that the servants of the Liang family were busy preparing the mourning shed. Because the matter was urgent, many things were prepared hastily, and Liang Xiaoying's body was placed in the backyard.
He said something to Chen Xuan and then planned to go and see Liang Xiaoying's body.
An old woman was cleaning up Liang Xiaoying's body. There was also a haggard woman lying on the ground, who should be Liang Xiaoying's mother. There were also a few bystanders, who, judging from their clothes, looked like young ladies from the Liang family, and they were looking at Liang Xiaoying's mother with disgust.
"It's not something that can be put on the table. The little bitch died at a very timely moment."
"The little bitch wanted to elope but failed, and ended up committing suicide in the well. That's all she was capable of. She's still restless even after death, and has made the house a mess."
Xie Fei listened quietly to the whispers. It turned out that Liang Xiaoying did not die accidentally, but committed suicide.
From these people, Xie Fei learned that Liang Xiaoying had a lover with whom she had secretly agreed to spend her life. After knowing that her family was going to arrange a marriage for her, she found her lover and planned to elope with him. However, the elopement failed and Liang Xiaoying committed suicide by jumping into a well.
Liang Xiaoying was an unfavored concubine in the Liang family. She had a bad relationship with her brothers and sisters. She was bullied and a punching bag. Therefore, the people in the Liang family did not feel anything about her death. Instead, they laughed at her and felt that it was unlucky.
Xie Fei walked up to Liang Xiaoying's body. The body had been changed into new clothes. The little girl looked about sixteen or seventeen years old, but she was thin.
"Huh..." Xie Fei discovered that there seemed to be something wrong with the girl's abdomen, it was slightly bulging, as if she was pregnant.
Xie Fei's expression changed slightly. If she was really pregnant, it would be troublesome.
According to traditional customs, the resentment of a woman who dies tragically during pregnancy will be several times that of an ordinary ghost. If the baby is a full-term child, it is possible that the baby will become a ghost.
Xie Fei took out a talisman that could test Yin energy. Before he got close to Liang Xiaoying, the talisman caught fire and turned into ashes in an instant.
"What is this?" The little maid found the ashes left by the talisman paper and wiped them clean.
Xie Fei had found the clue he wanted, so he simply returned to the main hall in the inner courtyard. Mr. Wang and Mr. Liang had a very pleasant conversation and had finalized the ghost marriage. They were just waiting to find a matchmaker to send the invitation.
They soon returned to the Wang family compound. Xie Fei walked to a hidden place, tore off the invisibility talisman, and returned to the mourning hall ahead of them.
Standing in front of the eldest young master's mourning hall was a girl wearing a floral dress and pigtails, who looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Chun Niang, let the servants handle these matters. You go back and take care of Xiaoshan." When talking to this girl, Master Wang's face showed displeasure.
"Yes." The girl called Chunniang lowered her head, her voice sounding a little timid.
After a while, he saw Chunniang walk through the corridor to the east wing and lead out a boy of about ten years old.
The boy has a chubby face, and you can tell at first glance that he is the result of a spoiled upbringing.
He is the second young master Wang Baishan of the Wang family compound. He and the eldest young master Wang Baichuan are both born to the principal wife.
Seeing him observing the two of them, Jiang Zhi came over and whispered, "That girl's name is Luo Chunhua. Everyone in the Wang family calls her Chunniang. She's the daughter of the second young master, Wang Baishan..."
She gritted her teeth when she said this, looking confused and angry, "She's a child bride."
Because Wang Baishan had been in poor health since childhood, the Wang family found a child bride for him to support him.
When Jiang Zhi first heard about it, he found it unbelievable. A child under ten years old and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.
Xie Fei patted her head as if to comfort her, and when he noticed that Zhou Xing was nowhere to be seen, he asked.
Jiang Zhi's expression changed immediately, and he lowered his voice and said, "You'd better keep an eye on Brother Xing. He just stood here for a while, and many people came over. He should be somewhere quiet now."
Xie Fei curved his eyebrows and smiled, "Who are they?"
Jiang Zhi glanced at him. This man was clearly smiling, but he looked very creepy.
She swallowed, thought for a moment and said, "Among the players there are Xu Haoran, Zhu Xiaotong and He Lingxuan, and there are quite a lot of NPCs, especially the second young lady. I feel like she seems to have a crush on Brother Xing. She comes over from time to time with a shy look on her face. Look, she's here again."
Jiang Zhi pointed to the corridor leading to the backyard. Xie Fei turned his head and saw a girl in a light yellow skirt looking at them. She looked disappointed when she didn't see Zhou Xing.
Xie Fei estimated that she might be about the same age as Jiang Zhi, "Go up and try to get close to her."
"Me?" Jiang Zhi pointed at himself in surprise.
"Well, you two are about the same age, she won't be on guard against you, and you just need to say you are Zhou Xing's sister, and you can get a lot of information out of her if you chat casually."
Jiang Zhi felt that what he said made sense, and nodded, "Okay, then what do you want to know?"
Xie Fei stroked his chin and said, "As for the affairs of the young masters and young ladies of the Wang family, and the relationships between them, you can get anything out of them, the more detailed the better."
"Okay." Jiang Zhi walked towards the second young lady in the corridor.
After a while, Jiang Zhi was taken into the backyard by the little girl.
"What do you want her to do in my name?" Zhou Xing's voice came from behind.
Xie Fei had heard his footsteps a long time ago. If he hadn't smelled a familiar scent, he would have thought this man was a thief.
"Humph, go and deal with my love rival." Xie Fei leaned back slightly and leaned on Zhou Xing's chest. Looking at his pretty face, he sighed faintly, "You are really a disaster because of your handsome face."
Zhou Xing pinched his earlobe, put his other hand on his waist, and sneered: "Don't you like this?"
Xie Fei did not refute, and nodded shamelessly: "Yeah, that's right, I like good-looking people."
"What did you do just now?" he asked Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing pointed to the location of the inner courtyard, "The small patio, there's something strange there."
"Huh? How did you find it strange?" Xie Fei asked curiously. Could it be that this person also had some special abilities like Chen Xuan?
"Intuition." Zhou Xing spat out two words coldly.
"Okay." Xie Fei shrugged, and Chen Xuan came over just in time.
As soon as Chen Xuan arrived, he sighed and said, "It really deserves to be a supernatural book, there is a strong ghost aura everywhere."
"Hmm?" Xie Fei asked, "What did you see?"
Chen Xuan pointed to the location of the small patio, where there was a wall separating the two families, "That's where the ghostly aura is the strongest." In his eyes, it was a dark mass, as if thousands of ghosts were howling, and as if they were gathering together, as if something was about to be born.
Xie Fei thought that the sound came from next door, so he told Liang's family what he saw in their backyard.
When Chen Xuan heard that Liang Xiaoying committed suicide while she was pregnant, his face turned pale. Usually, people like this would turn into evil ghosts after death. He hoped he wouldn't encounter them.
Later in the evening, the matchmaker came to the door, and the two families exchanged door cards and placed the exchanged dragon and phoenix cards in the coffin.
A cold wind suddenly blew, and the chill gave people goose bumps all over their bodies.
"What are we going to do the next day?" Xie Fei asked Chen Xuan.
Chen Xuan said: "The next day is the engagement day, which is equivalent to the betrothal gift. Half of it is a real silk and satin hairpin. Gold and silver treasures, and the other half is a piece of leather, cotton, jacket, and single clothing made of paper, and two pairs of brocade boxes containing earrings, bracelets, rings, hairpins and other jewelry. On the night of the engagement, it is burned at the doorstep of the woman's home."
