Chapter 7: Strange (2)
The business is very poor, and ordinary people don't know what this store does when they see the name of the store. And I opened this shop just to wait for someone, one or two orders a month is enough for me to eat.
My business was recruited by Chen Sheng, he is an old friend of my master, and he has a wide range of contacts in Liuxuancheng, and Chen Suyan came to me through guΓ². But I didn't expect that he brought Mu Xiangcai today.
After eating something made of Xiangzhu, I hurried to the living room.
Mu Xiangcai was wearing a moon-white robe, with a long figure, and his hair was lazy and casually pulled, just like Qu Jing'er, using a bamboo hairpin. His facial features are very upright, his eyebrows are clear, his nose bridge is high, and he has an elegant scholarly atmosphere, as Xiangzhu said, his handsomeness is not lost to Yang Xiuyi.
I glanced at Yang Xiuyi, and he also glanced at me, I really can't tell what kind of temperament Yang Xiuyi has. Xiangzhu said that it was an arrogant and uninhibited young chivalrous spirit, Aunt Jiang said that it was a free and comfortable swinger, and Uncle Feng said that it was a son of a family with a lofty price. I don't think it's like any, I think he's a brazen ruffian.
They got up and greeted me with fists, and I pretended to be weak: "I am an idler in the mountains, I can't stand these constraints, you can just feel free." β
Chen Sheng introduced: "Shopkeeper Tian, this is Mu Xiangcai Mu Gongzi. β
I continued to pretend, learning from Master Wen's crepe appearance and saying, "Xicheng Muqu is famous all over the world, and I have heard of it, but I don't know why I came here today?" β
Chen Sheng said: "Mu Gongzi's insider fell off the peony cliff outside the city yesterday, and sent someone to search for it all night, his life and death are uncertain, he wants to ask the shopkeeper Tian to see if he can use his divine power to help him find his wife." β
During the meal just now, Yang Xiuyi told me that they had found a female corpse that had been gnawed by a wild beast at the bottom of the mountain, but Mu Xiangcai refused to admit that it was Qu Jing'er. I also think that Qu Jing'er will not die, she is a goblin after all, and a cliff is nothing to her. Yang Xiuyi meant that he wanted me to simply go down the river, and say that she was dead, and give Chen Suyan a chance.
I said, "If you are looking for fifteen taels and need the other party's personal belongings, pay the silver first, and if you can't find it, you will return the silver ten taels." β
Mu Xiangcai gave the silver very happily, and he took out a sachet from his arms, which contained two strands of hair tied with a knot, intertwined with red rope.
Seeing this knot, I unconsciously touched the ponytail hanging on my chest, and there was a faint yearning in my heart. I hope my fiancΓ© doesn't dislike me for being ugly, and I hope he doesn't get too ugly, or I will dislike him.
Mu Xiangcai hesitated for a moment, and his slender fingers slowly untied the knot, and handed me a soft, thinner strand of hair.
At this moment, there was movement at the door, Chen Suyan stood there, her face was a little pale, she looked at the hair on my hand, a trace of amazement flashed in her eyes, and then smiled brightly at me: "Shopkeeper Tian, I have been looking for you for two days, and I finally saw you." β
I said, "You're in for a coincidence." β
She nodded: "What a coincidence." After that, he looked at Chen Sheng, "Uncle Chen, you are polite without makeup, this is Mu Gongzi, right?" I have seen you play the qin in the Warm Spring Pavilion, and the music is exquisite and incomparable. β
Mu Xiangcai didn't seem to have the heart to make all these false courtesies with her, so she just nodded casually, she was not embarrassed, and there was still a gentle smile on her face.
So, I really admire her mind. It is clear that the man she wants to marry is in front of her, but she can be calm and calm, smile gracefully, and will not show anything wrong at all, and finally looks like a lady. Look behind her, Nuan Xia didn't follow, it seems that the maid is afraid of Yang Xiuyi.
Xiangzhu quickly brought the tea, Chen Suyan sat down opposite Mu Xiangcai, only chatted with Chen Sheng, did not deliberately extend the conversation to Mu Xiangcai, and did not even cast a glance. Showing XiΓ n's generosity and decency, quite talented, I suddenly had doubts, do the woman in front of me have that agreement with me? Is she the one who asked me to break up the little couple?
Remembering the witchcraft I played, I asked, "Miss Chen, have you slept well these days?" β
She nodded: "I didn't sleep well before, but since I found you, my sleep has been much more stable." β
"Huh?"
I was stupid for a moment, there was no way that my witchcraft would fail, and Yang Xiuyi gloated and chuckled twice beside me.
I said, "Since it's settled, you wait first, and I'll handle Master Mu's commission before I entertain you." β
I went into the dark room alone, lit two candles, placed Qu Jing'er's hair in the groove of the white jade, poured half a bottle of Jiuquan Xianglu and Luoying flower juice, and a sweet fragrance suddenly emanated, I lay down on the soft couch, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
It may be that I have starved myself in the past few days, and my spirit has been half dead, and I have tried several times, but the purple thread that has been pulling me to find someone has not been able to get out of the two-one-to-five, and it has circled in the air, making me want to strangle myself with this purple thread.
I had no choice but to do it differently. I poured all the liquid in the groove, wiped it clean with a handkerchief, and poured pear blossom wine and purple cloud flower liquid into it, the situation was the same as last time, this time I was angry, and took out a few petals from the drawer, although I was distressed, but I couldn't take care of it.
The petals of these soul-locking flowers are extremely rare, and when they were brought down from the mountain, the master was very reluctant, and asked me for half a box to go back with a handful of tears and snot. When he came to see me last month, he sneaked into this dark room and stole the remaining half back, leaving me only five pieces, so angry that half of my life was almost gone.
I stuffed the soul locking flower petals into the Sanfanzhu together with Qu Jing'er's hair, recited a few incantations, and the Sanfanzhu jumped to the ground, and after a few laps in place, it began to roll, I hurriedly chased out of the dark room, followed from the backyard to the front hall, Sanfanzhu jumped up the stone steps neatly, jumped over the threshold, and then rolled to the other hall, and finally stopped at Chen Suyan's feet.
Everyone in the other hall looked at me incomprehensibly, only Chen Suyan, whose face became even paler.
I was dumbfounded, and Yang Xiuyi asked, "What's wrong?" Without waiting for me to speak, Chen Suyan took a deep breath and was full of courage, she said: "Shopkeeper Tian or", stood up, her beautiful eyes looked directly at me, her eyes were clear, I have something I want to say to you in private.
