"Why are you here?"

He smiled, and when he walked in, he tore off the coat on his body, he was also in a hurry in the rain, and the clothes were full of water and dripping all over the ground. And as soon as he walked in, the firelight shone on him, and on his dark golden hair, as if the whole hall was illuminated by him.

He took off his coat and shook it twice in his hand, and suddenly the water droplets splashed, and a few drops fell on my face, and the post officer standing next to him was even more shaken by him, and he screamed and retreated.

He smiled hesitantly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

His appearance was strange, and few people here had seen him, and the post officer wiped the water on his face, and then looked at his gaze, and they were all stunned: "This is—"

I hurriedly stepped forward and said, "He's my friend, and he's here to accompany me." ”

The post officer was very respectful to us, and as soon as he heard that it was my friend, he hurriedly let Zha Bixing in, and said courteously: "Then I will go and clean up the room for the nobleman immediately." ”

After saying that, he beckoned a few of his subordinates and ran upstairs to clean up the other rooms.

Zha Bixing was shaking the rain in his hair, and when he heard this, he said, "Hey", but the post officer ran so fast that there was no shadow, so he shrugged his shoulders, and then looked at me with a smile: "Miss, you are walking so fast, if I can't catch up with you, I will have to go back." ”

I looked at him slightly puzzled.

When I left Beijing before, I didn't see him in the send-off procession, I felt a little strange, and it was reasonable, even if he liked to join in the fun, he should have come to see me off, but he didn't, and now, he actually left the capital to "chase" us, it seems that things are not so simple.

I asked, "What are you chasing us for?"

"Hehe," he looked at me with a smile, "of course it's a big gift for the eldest lady." ”

"A big gift?"

"Miss, don't you remember that I said that I will help you find the ghost in your house. ”

I was stunned - ghost?

Did he come to give me that ghost?

He seemed to understand my doubts, nodded with a smile, and then said behind him, "Are you all okay?" ”

As he spoke, I heard a burst of footsteps behind him, a little messy, and I heard a few people who followed him constantly shouting "Be careful", "Don't fall", "Be careful" and other words, as if protecting an important person in, I subconsciously took a step forward.

Su Su, who was next to me, also stepped forward with a lantern, and the light shone behind Zha Bixing, and a somewhat pale, old face came into my eyes.

As soon as I saw that face, I gasped.

That's—

The owner of that face, dressed in a simple cloth dress, although simple, but it looked clean and tidy, even if the people around her who were protecting her, even Cha Bixing herself was wet, but she did not seem to be exposed to the wind and rain, but even if it was clean and tidy, her expression was not so relaxed, but seemed very anxious, a pair of eyebrows wrinkled tightly, several hanging stitches in the center of the eyebrows were deep and long, even if she raised her eyes to look at me, her brows were stretched, and the lines remained in the center of her eyebrows, which made her look more and more sad.

This person is none other than the mother of the eldest princess, Zhao Shuyuan, who has "died" in the fire of Huangze Temple!

I froze and looked at her in amazement: "Zhao Shuyuan?!"

She was already very vigilant and cautious around her, and when she heard me speak, these three words seemed to stimulate her, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Chabixing, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and made the kind of "whine" sound in her mouth when a small animal was frightened.

I became more and more surprised, and walked over: "Zhao Shuyuan?

She looked at me in horror with only one pair of eyes, as if she was afraid that I would hurt her.

She was originally a quiet woman, and she was very inconspicuous when she was in the imperial city, but now she has changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and she has such a frightened expression, which makes her more and more thin and pale, and I can't help but feel a trace of pity in my heart when I look at her like this.

At this time, Zha Bixing turned his head and smiled at her: "What are you afraid of, these are good people." ”

Zhao Shuyuan blinked and looked at him.

"Really, they're all good people!" he said so loudly that he even pointed his thumb at me: "This one, in particular, is a living bodhisattva!"

“……”

I was about to scold him not to talk nonsense, but Zhao Shuyuan seemed to be appeased by this sentence, and the horror on her face was gradually replaced by a trace of tranquility and joy, looking at me: "Living Bodhisattva?"

“……”

"Yes, in the future, you will rely on her to eat and drink spicy food. ”

Although I was immersed in the shock of reuniting with Zhao Shuyuan, I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this, and looked at Zha Bixing - what are these words!

However, after just calming down and thinking about it, I realized one thing - he came to send Zhao Shuyuan to me!

From now on, it will be up to me to take care of this old man.

Of course, it's not just this one thing that I have to care about now, but seeing the "living" Zhao Shuyuan is enough to surprise me, not to mention that there are so many unsolved mysteries, I feel a little unclear for a while, and Zha Bixing naturally walked in with her, although Su Su didn't know Zhao Shuyuan's identity, but when she saw my attitude, she more or less understood the unusual origin of this old woman, and hurriedly led them to the table and sat down, and then poured them hot tea.

I also walked over and sat down, looking at Zha Bixing, who had been patting himself and splashing with mist: "What the hell, what's going on?"

His head and face were wet, but his eyes were exceptionally bright, and he looked at me with a smile: "Doesn't the eldest lady understand? ”

“……”

This, of course, understood.

Su Su handed a cup of hot tea to Zhao Shuyuan's hand, she probably came in the rain all the way, although she was in a carriage, but she also suffered a little, holding the teacup to warm her hands, but her face had not yet recovered blood, so she looked a little pale.

She's the ghost.

That is what Zha Bixing said before, the crazy woman who chased him to Chongyun Pavilion in Xishan and saw him.

The "ghost" who had been in Liu's Mansion before, or rather, Qingmei Villa, crying night and night, disturbing Lao Zhu's family and their family, turned out to be her!

I frowned slightly, and looked at Zha Bixing: "Have you figured it out, why did she come to my side at night to make trouble, and besides, why is she in Chongyun Pavilion, why is the Protector Mage protecting her?"
