The maid Yutong is the only subordinate of the city lord's mansion.

On weekdays, she is responsible for her husband's food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Just by listening to it, I knew that this should be an extremely tedious and tiring job, but Yutong still took it, not for anything else, just because the conditions offered by his master were really tempting.

a hundred taels of silver a month.

Not to mention a month, it's a hundred taels a year, which of the people in this right city is not rushing to do it?

But the old man chose her.

She is a girl in the Soul Realm, and her strength is not as good as that of the men in the Blood Condensation Realm in the city, as for her appearance, although she is still known as having good facial features, but compared to the little girls who came to apply for the job back then, it is not the most outstanding wave among them.

Besides, after so many years, the master has never touched her, has he?

Although she didn't mind it, and even vaguely looked forward to it, these were all off-topic.

Regarding this matter, when his master was resting, Yutong also had the courage to ask, but the answer he got was just a sentence of 'I picked it casually.' ’。

Perfunctory to the extreme.

But with the passage of time, after getting along with this seemingly low-key, cunning, shameless and greedy old man who is actually incomprehensible, she also secretly has some guesses of her own in her heart.

When they went to the City Lord's Mansion to apply for the draft, their family even lived outside the city, and they couldn't afford even the smallest piece of land in the southern city in this Youxi City.

So, Yutong, who was dressed in tatters at the time, stood in the crowd of conscripts outside the city lord's mansion to the extreme, and the reason why he came at that time was just to have a fluke mind such as stepping on shit and being selected, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would really be a maid for the old man.

Why?

In the first days, when walking, eating, and sleeping, Yutong was always thinking about this problem.

Later, she came to a conclusion that even she couldn't believe, that is:

The notorious old man in his own house was probably moved by compassion at that time.

That year, the pillar of the family, Yutong's father gave birth to maggots, and the doctors in the villages and towns outside the city could not be cured.

At that time, Yutong's family, let alone a hundred taels, the poor couldn't open the pot, even a hundred wen, she couldn't take it out.

So why did Hu Mingzhu choose himself at that time?

Why did it happen that the month's salary was 100 taels?

Yutong suddenly remembered that when he went to ask for medicine from the Yuan Dan Taoist priest, there was such a scholar-like guy who happened to pass by.

She didn't see the man's face clearly at the time, but now that she thinks about it, the person's size, physique, temperament, and silhouette are similar to her own master.

Later, although the master politely accepted the precious gifts sent by the Tong family, those things were piled up in the warehouse of the mansion like garbage, and he did not move from beginning to end, even the key to the warehouse was simply together

I handed it over to myself, saying that if I took what I liked, if I didn't take it, those things would rot in it after a few years.

Therefore, she can now have the cultivation of Yuan Dan, all of which is stained with the light of her own master.

Because of the master's orders, even if Yutong went out to buy things or went home to reunite with her family, she never argued when she heard other people's rumors about the master, but as the years passed, her heart began to become clearer and clearer.

She knew that her master was definitely not the kind of bad guy they said he was!

"Sir, please come with me. ”

Yutong politely stretched out his hand and stretched it in, and led the way from the front, but from time to time he wanted to look back at the guest a few more times.

The guests are richly dressed, their appearance is slightly vicissitudes, and they look at the demeanor of the dragon and the tiger, but they are quite an official.

It's just that in the past, except for those gentlemen of the Tong family who liked to come and visit from time to time, over the years, there really haven't been any colleagues who have been officials elsewhere in the dynasty have come.

This is another great wonder for Yutong.

Yutong thought as she walked.

First of all, this person's appearance is not similar to the master, and the aura on the two is not the same, so first of all, she ruled out the conjecture that these two people are blood relatives within three generations.

So. Since he is not the master's relatives, nor is he a member of the Tong family, what kind of relationship will this person have between him and the master when he comes to the city lord's mansion at this time?

Yutong didn't know, but he was curious.

It's just curiosity, she still remembers her master's kindness to him, and she can always keep her duty.

Within two steps, when Yutong led the gentleman to the front yard, his old man Hu Mingzhu was already standing under the eaves opposite with wine, and waved his hand to the person behind him with a smile.

"Brother-in-law. ”

Hu Mingzhu put his palm against the back of his hand, stretched it out to his chest, and bowed respectfully.

Yutong's eyes widened.

For so many years, she had never heard her master say that he still had such a brother-in-law in this world.

He didn't even say he had a sister.

For so many years, he has always eaten alone, drank alone, and slept alone.

The people outside looked at the scenery, but Yutong felt a little pitiful when he looked at it.

Even with her, her eyes softened when she looked at the guest.

My sister is alive or gone, she doesn't know, she finally has a brother-in-law, and she is a relative, and her master is not alone after all.

"Mingzhu, long time no see. ”

The man smiled and nodded.

"Have a drink?" Hu Mingzhu lifted the wine jug in his hand, smiling with some nostalgia, and with some other indescribable meanings, of course, it is not something that Yutong can read.

The man smiled, and the strange look on his face looked like his own master.

"You want it. However, I am here this time, but I want to drink the strongest wine in the world! Today our brothers do not

Say anything else, just get drunk!"

Hu Mingzhu pulled out the mud seal on the wine jar, and pointed to it, and the wine turned into a transparent long snake and fell into the jade cup that had been floating on the guest's chest at some point.

"If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" Hu Mingzhu laughed loudly.

"If you don't get drunk, you won't return!" the guest drank the wine in the cup and smiled heartily.

On this night, there was a rare third person in the huge city lord's mansion.

It was still this night, and no one slept in the city lord's mansion.

......

......

Probably because she has been followed by Qin Chu's group for a long time, Dugu Yan has been very sensitive to other people's prying eyes in recent days.

After leaving Xianyang City, there was nothing to do all the way, but when she arrived outside the city of Youxi, which is known as Yangang, she was keenly aware of a familiar sense of disobedience.

Dugu Yan let go of the spirit shadow, and the eyes infused with spiritual energy, but she couldn't find the existence of that person anyway.

But she trusted her feelings, and she knew that she was definitely being followed.

With a helpless sigh, the girl in black stepped into the city.

Trouble always comes uninvited.

It's just that soon, Duguyan regretted her choice to enter the city.

Before entering the city, there was only one feeling of snooping that could not find the source, and after entering the city, Duguyan walked on the street, and felt that there were countless hidden lines of sight passing from all directions.

The number of people who followed her changed from one to many.

Then it went from darkness to blatant staring.

Walking, setting up stalls, standing, sitting, walking slowly down a street, as if everyone on the street was staring at her.

Soon, there were two Yuandan masters who looked like sons and brothers, each holding a fan to block her way.

The two disciples clearly took a fancy to Duguyan's beauty, but they just stood in front of her, ignored her, and teased each other as if no one was around.

One of the two was wearing a blue robe, and the other was dressed in white like snow, with a white and greasy skin like the root of a petal.

It's just that, when the words of those two people popped out of their mouths, those two handsome faces with red lips and white teeth were a little disgusting to look at.

I only heard the blue-robed young man flick his fan on his chest, and said with a smile: "Women are like sand, they will always pass between them, Tong Yang, you can't catch her." ”

In the middle of speaking, the young man in blue was still giving birth to the idle hand and pretending to scratch his chest, and the pedestrians saw that their backs were cold, shivered, and accelerated their pace of progress, and passed directly past the two people.

"Mother, a big man grabs his chest in broad daylight, this is too much, right?"
