Zhu Yao sat leisurely on the willow branch with her feet swaying. It's been months since she's been in this world, but she's been trapped in this willow tree for months. She'd tried countless times, but her range of motion was only around the willow tree, and if she left the willow tree, the next second she would be teleported back to the willow tree.

As the sun gradually rose, Zhu Yao shook her feet and kicked the willow branch under her feet in boredom, and the willow branch automatically rose without wind, and Zhu Yao giggled. It's her only pleasure right now.

"Girl, do you know where to go on the way to Beijing? Xiaosheng entered Beijing for the first time, and he got lost here, so he asked the girl to tell me. Suddenly, a man's voice came from under the tree, and Zhu Yao leaned over and saw a scholar in a blue shirt, carrying a book basket, looking up at her, and when he saw her appearance, his eyes were full of amazement.

"Why did you want to go to Beijing? Wouldn't it be good to stay here with me? Zhu Yao rolled his eyes, and suddenly thought of teasing him. When he said that, he had a bit of a grudge.

"This ......," the scholar was speechless for a moment, and his face flushed suspiciously.

"Okay, I won't tease you, do you see that road over there? Just keep walking. Zhu Yao looked at the blush on his face, knocked on his head, and always felt that he had forgotten something important, and even the teasing thoughts faded, so he pointed out the way to him directly, leaned on the willow tree and closed his eyes.

"Girl, why do you sit on the willow tree? It's dangerous, so you'd better get down here. How can you stay alone in this wilderness, where is your home? I'll send you home first. The scholar got Zhu Yao's guidance but did not leave immediately, but persuaded Zhu Yao.

Zhu Yao giggled when she heard this, home, it's really a distant place...... But she knew the home of this world, so she pointed to the willow tree, and said to the scholar: "Oh, you are standing on top of my house now." ”

The scholar was startled, and quickly moved his body to the side, and when he looked up again, Zhu Yao's figure had already been lost on the tree.

The scholar You didn't give up and walked around the willow tree a few times but didn't see Zhu Yao again, so he could only sigh and go on the road. At the top of the tall willow tree, Zhu Yao's figure gradually appeared, and the corners of her skirt were windless.

Upper Beijing

The shouts of the hawkers, the greetings of the guys in the shops, the storytelling voices in the restaurants, and the tapping sounds of idle rich idlers beating their horses together compose the prosperity of Shangjing. The scholar was almost dazzled, and was pushed forward by the people around him. In a daze, someone hit him hard, and the scholar fell to the ground. When he got up, a kind person reminded him: "Hurry up and see if your money bag is still there?" That's a habitual thief. The scholar hurriedly reached out and touched his chest, and a cloth bag hidden there was gone.

The scholar suddenly panicked, that was all his net worth. When he was on the road, the widowed mother of the family pawned everything that could be pawned in the house, and only then did he make up the money for the journey, but now he was taken away by the thieves at once. There are still three days left before the start of the exam, how will he live without all that money?

"Well, it's your purse. Be careful next time, this capital is not like your small place. When the scholar was at a loss in a panic, the money bag suddenly fell from the sky and smashed into his arms. A handsome-faced little guy stood condescendingly, his eyes full of disdain for him, and reluctance.

"Thank you, thank you." The scholar was grateful, and he didn't know how to express his feelings excitedly, so he got up and shook himself at the little guy one by one. The little servant took two steps back, avoided his salute, and skimmed him obliquely: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank me, you will also thank my master." ”

"Nanshi, what a mouth." Before the little girl's voice fell, a woman's coquettish voice suddenly came from the side. The scholar followed the sound, and then noticed that a carriage was parked not far away, and the woman's voice came from the carriage.

The scholar bowed his hand, waved at the carriage, and said loudly: "Thank you for your help, dare to ask Brother Tai's surname?" After the autumn of Xiaosheng, he immediately came to the door to thank him. ”

With a pop, there seemed to be a woman's pleasant laughter in the carriage, and the next moment it was muffled by a heavy cough. The scholar frowned, and left it behind without care, waiting for the man in the carriage to answer his question.

Seeing Nanshi, who had returned the money bag to him before, he stepped forward and said arrogantly: "How can you inquire about the name of my son-in-law, and then talk about it when you have a reputation in the future." With that, he trotted two steps to the carriage, whispered a few words through the curtain and the people in the carriage, and the carriage went away with a kick.

The scholar looked at the carriage that was walking away, and suddenly felt a sense of loss in his heart, always feeling that he had inadvertently missed something important.

Three days later, the autumn came as promised. The scholars followed the flow into the examination room. In an inconspicuous carriage in front of the examination room, Zhu Yao quietly opened a gap and looked out. Wan Xiang, who was sitting in the carriage with her, frowned disapprovingly, and persuaded: "Miss, it is already unruly for us to leave the house rashly today, if the master knows that you are secretly running to see a scholar, the master will have to break the slave's leg when he turns around." ”

Zhu Yao put down her hand, leaned against the wall of the car, closed her eyes, and said softly, "Go home." ”

Wanxiang didn't expect today's young lady to be so talkative, so she hurriedly responded happily and told the coachman to go home. The carriage came quietly and left quietly, without alarming anyone.

As soon as she returned to the house, Zhu Yao went into the study and closed the door. Tuberose followed and almost got caught in her foot. Looking at the closed door, Wanxiang frowned and became worried, always feeling that her young lady had not been normal since she saw the scholar. Wanxiang was anxious but couldn't think of any way, until a maid came to deliver the food in front of her, and the door of the room, which had been closed all morning, creaked open from the inside. Zhu Yao walked out of it in a curling manner, glanced at the evening fragrance seemingly casually, and went straight forward. Wan Xiang only felt that her whole body was cold, and on an August day, the scorching sun was still hanging brightly above her head, but she shivered stiffly.

Her young lady can't be possessed by something unclean, right? Wanxiang thought of the quirky notebooks sold in the market, and couldn't help but tighten her clothes, and shivered again.

Zhu Yao tapped on her toes and unconsciously took out the ghost set. Her eyes looked around, and she didn't know how she got here and became the young lady of this family. After separating from the scholar that day, she just got bored, and wanted to test whether she could leave that place, but she did leave, and then she arrived here, as if she had been pulled into the body of this young lady by something.

As she got used to being a young lady, the missing part of her memories returned.

She remembered that her name was Zhu Yao, she was from the modern era, and she was now on a mission. Strangely, she didn't receive any information about the mission this time. She knew that the reason why she had been wandering around the willow tree was because the body she now occupied would have died in a month's time, if nothing else, and she would have been buried under the willow tree.

Even if he didn't receive the complete mission plot, based on his previous experience, Zhu Yao speculated that the scholar should be his strategic target. It's just that what makes her wonder is that it stands to reason that the young lady's soul body should be produced after death, but she is in the state of a soul body as soon as she enters this world, which is really a little weird. So these days, Zhu Yao has a feeling of Zhuang Zhou dreaming of butterflies. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether the days as a soul were real or a dream of her own.

Wanxiang followed Zhu Yao and watched her young lady drift in the direction of the dining room, and she was a little more sure of what she had just guessed. Her young lady is really possessed by something, right? What to do, what to do? Will that thing hurt her young lady? Will she be in danger as a first-class maid in front of the young lady? Will that youkai find her flaws? Does she want to find an excuse to run away first? Ahh

The entanglement in Wan Xiang's heart, Zhu Yao naturally didn't know. She didn't know that her maid had inadvertently taken her for a monster.

"Okay, let's start dinner when Yao'er comes." In the dining room, as soon as Master Zhu saw Zhu Yao's figure, he ordered the maid next to him to pack the meal. The Zhu family has a simple population, and in addition to Zhu Yao's daughter, Master Zhu also has a concubine. Zhu Yao's mother has already passed away, and Master Zhu has a deep affection for her, saying that he will not marry again, and he has been raising Zhu Yao with all his heart all these years. As for that concubine, he was arranged in a remote yard in the backyard, and Zhu Yao hadn't seen him since he came here.

It's okay if you don't see it, anyway, I'm here to do the task. I really don't have the heart to stage a drama with people to compete for family property. Of course, based on Zhu Yao's observation of Master Zhu these days, she felt that such a thing would not happen to Master Zhu. Because he has said more than once that he wants to recruit a son-in-law for Zhu Yao to come back.

"It's the day of the list in a few days, is Yao'er interested in going with her father to take a look?" After the meal, Master Zhu and Zhu Yao sat in the dining room drinking tea. As soon as she heard Master Zhu's words, Zhu Yao remembered a lot of bloody episodes with the TV series, and caught her son-in-law on the list!

"Is Dad going to let his daughter choose a husband by herself?" Although Zhu Yao felt that Master Zhu was a little unreliable, according to his pampering of his daughter, he could really do this kind of thing. I simply asked generously.
