Zhuo Hua and Su Mengling finished breakfast while talking and laughing, and the two came to the garden of His Excellency Four Seasons together. happened to meet Su Geweng who was standing in the bamboo forest and looked up silent.

The old man's face was full of sadness, and when he heard the footsteps, he looked back, and saw that it was Zhuo Hua and Su Mengling, so he changed his smiling face and greeted him.

"Eun Gong had a good rest last night?"

Su Mengling rolled her eyes and gave it to her father, "Daddy ate so much wine for the eldest brother last night, and the eldest brother got up this morning with a splitting headache." I helped him press it for a long time before it was relieved. ”

"Oh, is that so?" Su Weng was slightly surprised.

"Zhuo Mou used to drink, no matter how many glasses of spirits he had, he never got drunk, and last night somehow, just a few glasses of Tusu wine!Hey!"

Su Weng nodded, stroked his beard and said, "Maybe Engong you have just become a Puren and have not adapted to the effects of this wine on your body." Don't worry, drink two more times and you'll be fine. ”

After the two exchanged pleasantries, Zhuo Hua asked, "Weng, I just heard from Ling'er that the Dingqi Beads in the city are already priceless?"

Su Geweng nodded, his face a little worried, "Today, Lao Yu went to a few shops that sell Dingqi beads, and they all told me that they were out of stock." What do you say in the past, the caravan that sold Yuehua Stone, I don't know what happened this year, it has not come. All kinds of beads in the city have long been bought up by big families and official lords. ”

Su Mengling asked anxiously, "Daddy, is there really no one?"

Su Geweng nodded first, and then shook his head, "An old acquaintance of mine told me that there are actually beads, but these profiteers are not willing to sell them now. Now a mortal-grade bead on the black market used to sell for only 500 gold, but now it has turned to 1,500 gold. Not to mention the better-grade beads. ”

"Fifteen hundred gold, how much is that?" Zhuo Hua asked.

"This 1,500 gold is equivalent to half a year's tax in our small western town. The old man replied.

"So much?" Su Mengling gasped, she thought about it, and said, "But Daddy, although the Qi Bead is very expensive, I have to buy it for my eldest brother!"

"yes! I thought so, too. Aren't you trying to figure out a way!" The old man stroked his beard vigorously, feeling that the beard on his jaw was about to be wiped out.

"Daddy, I remember last New Year, when we went to the New Year's house of the city lord Uncle Yan, didn't he have a newly collected Dingqi bead for the guests to appreciate?

"This..."Su Geweng hesitated.

Zhuo Hua asked, "I also went to look for this city lord three months ago, but I was blocked by the gatehouse of the city lord's mansion. This time, can you ask a Weng to help Zhuo make an introduction, let me go and talk to him. ”

"Yes, yes! The eldest brother is the Yuanjun of the Cloud Palace, and Uncle Yan is from the immortal clan, so he should obey the orders of the eldest brother. The big brother of the bead asked him if he wanted it, and he wouldn't give it. Su Mengling said innocently.

"I'm afraid, he really won't give it yet. Su Geweng said worriedly.

"Why, the eldest brother is the Yuanjun of the Cloud Palace!" Su Mengling said unconvinced.

"For no one else may believe me, except you. I don't have any tokens on me that can prove my identity. What's more, that city lord is not the patriarch of the Yan clan, and he has not seen me up close. At the time of the Great Pilgrimage, he should have stood far away and couldn't see my appearance clearly. Zhuo Hua said.

"Then it is estimated that he will not be able to go to the court meeting with such an identity. I've heard that he is actually the illegitimate son of the patriarch of the Yan clan, with a perverse personality and a penchant for publicity..."

"Shut up, this kind of rumor is also something that you, a little girl who has not come out of the pavilion, can talk nonsense?" Before Su Mengling's words were finished, he was scolded by a man.

"Let's talk about it again, and I didn't say it first..."Su Mengling pouted, dissatisfied.

Zhuo Hua smiled and patted Su Mengling's shoulder to comfort her. Then he said to Su Geweng: "Weng, I still have to bother you to take me to visit this Moon Viewing City City Lord." Let Zhuo solve the rest of the matter. ”

Su Geweng nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask Su Bo to prepare some gifts for the visit." We'll be on our way in a moment. ”

Without further ado, the group came to the city lord's mansion.

This city lord's mansion is located in the most central position of the Moon Viewing City, and adopts the pattern of the residence of the former government office. The courtyard is magnificent, luxurious and flamboyant, which really fits his character very well.

Everyone got out of the carriage, and Su Bo led the carriage to the side door where the carriage rested.

Su Geweng took Su Mengling and Zhuo Hua and came to the gatehouse with two boxes of gifts.

"Yo! Isn't this Master Su! What kind of wind blew you?" A middle-aged man with a big mole on his face and a meaty face came up to greet Su Geweng with a smile.

"It's not a matter to come to the city lord, and I'm bothering the big rich brother to help spread it. The gentleman replied politely.

The man called Dacai looked at the three of them with his eyes, and finally his eyes fell on Zhuo Hua.

"You're a kid again, and you want to trick me again?" rebuked Da Cai.

Zhuo Hua held his head high, looked at the big fortune with blazing eyes, and said, "It's exactly below." ”

"Yo yo yo! I washed it and changed my outfit, and I became human-like and dog-like, almost unrecognizable. Dacai smashed his mouth and said sarcastically around Zhuo Hua.

"How do you speak!" Su Mengling took a big step forward and placed her small body in front of Zhuo Hua.

It turned out that the little white face was next to the eldest lady of the Su family, no wonder she was dressed up so fancy and bells and whistles. He turned around and said to Su Geweng: "Master Su, did this kid say that he came from the Genting Heavenly Palace, and what his name was Zhuo Hua Yuanjun, right? He said foaming, and his eyes kept staring at Su Mengling.

Su Geweng smiled and said to him: "Tian Dacai, you won't bother with this matter, please go in now and present my prayer note to the city lord." It's your hard-earned fee. ”

Su Geweng said and handed over his prayer note and a broken silver.

Tian Dacai glanced at Su Weng, reached out and took the prayer post and the silver, put the silver on his teeth and bit it hard, and saw that it was real silver before putting it into his sleeve.

Snorted, turned around and said, "If you don't listen to me, you deserve to be deceived." Wait here. ”

Looking at Tian Dacai's distant back, Su Geweng sighed with emotion: "The seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door!"

"If you want me to see, it's that the king of Hades is good, and the little ghost is difficult. Big brother, do you say yes?" Su Mengling blinked his big eyes and looked at Zhuo Hua.

Zhuo Hua touched his nose and smiled, "In the concept of our Xuanhuang clan, qi is an eternal existence. If our Xuanhuang clan is feathered, it will turn into qi and return to nature. So I don't really understand what you Puren said about imps and Hades and the like. ”

While chatting, that Tian Dacai came back. shouted and shouted at the door with three people to point behind him with his thumb and said, "The city lord is invited." Then he went back to the porter and made the fire.

Su Mengling just wanted to step forward and taunt him a few words, but Su Weng glanced at him and pulled him away.

Su Geweng was a frequent visitor to the city lord's mansion, and he led the way, walked through the winding paths, passed through the moon gates, and finally met the city lord of the moon viewing city in the small garden in the deep mansion.

This person is about thirty-seven or eighteen, and he is really handsome, and his dress is indeed very consistent with the appearance of Su Mengling. Nearly forty men still have grease powder on their faces and wear red hairpins on their heads.

Seeing the city lord like this, Su Mengling burst out laughing, and secretly said behind Zhuo Hua's back: "Big brother, big brother, look at that twilight cloud, at such an old age, I still think I am the groom's official! ”

Su Geweng turned around and scolded again. Then he walked quickly to the Lord of Smoke City and greeted him loudly.

The two acquaintances exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the Smoke and Twilight Cloud City Lord saw Zhuo Hua standing behind Su Geweng, pointed at him and asked Su Geweng: "Who is this young handsome descendant, why don't you introduce me to him!"

After speaking, he walked quickly to Zhuo Hua, stretched out his hand with a smile and took Zhuo Hua's hand, and said with a kind expression: "Dare to ask what is the surname of the son, who is the person, how old is this year?"

Su Mengling snatched Zhuo Hua's hand back, and used her small body to push Zhuo Hua back. With an innocent smile on his face, he said politely to Yan Duyun: "Uncle Yan, you are really good today! I miss you! I have been urging my father to bring me to you to play these days." ”

Yan Duyun looked up to the sky and laughed, pointed at Su Mengling's forehead and said, "The people in this Moon Viewing City say that your eldest lady of the Su family, Bing Xue is smart, and I think I have to add a clever sentence." ”

Su Geweng also laughed on the side: "Brother Duyun praised it falsely! By the way, Brother Duiyun, today's visit is specifically to introduce you to this descendant. He pointed his finger at Zhuo Hua and beckoned to him.

Zhuo Hua stepped forward and bowed slightly, arched his hand, and began to report to his family: "My family lives in Beilunzhou, on the top of the cangwu, in the Yuntian Monument, and in the Yunding Heavenly Palace. My surname is Zhuo Minghua, and I still don't remember how old I am. He is currently serving as the Yuan Jun in the Cloud Palace. It has jurisdiction over the four heavenly palaces and twenty-eight stars, and the three armies have a total of twelve guards. ”

At first, Twilight Cloud was still smiling with her mouth open as she listened to him report to his home, and her smile began to freeze as she listened. After Zhuo Hua finished speaking, he looked at Su Geweng and asked, "What did he say?" he said that he was the Yuanjun of the Yunding Heavenly Palace?"

With a slight embarrassment on his face, he nodded and said, "Brother Duyun, he is indeed Zhuo Hua Yuanjun!"

Yan Duyun began to retract his smile, carefully circled Zhuo Hua twice, touched his smooth chin, nodded nonchalantly, and said to himself, "I said that I felt familiar when I saw you just now." ”

He turned to the retainer standing next to him and said, "Go, go to my study and bring the scroll of Tianzi No. 3." ”
