In July of last year, Hu Mei separated from his children and came to Tianxingguo from the Jokhang Empire. At that time, Lin Niang, who was only nine years old, was still childish, but today she is like a big girl. Especially her height, she is really flying from the ground, and if she cares about dressing up, she can't tell that she is only ten years old.

Hu Mei was a little worried, lest her daughter take a shortcut for quick cultivation. It's just that this is not the time to inquire carefully, so she asked a few words. The rosary replied, calmly and without flickering. Hearing that Lin Niang didn't take pills or practice any quick success methods, Hu Mei relieved his heart and asked about his son Kunlang's current situation.

Rosary covered his mouth and smiled twice: "The eldest brother made a vow that he must be admitted to the Jinshi, and when the time comes, he will travel all over the world, not only to go to the Mirror Court Academy of Daqi, but also to come to the Heavenly Lucky Kingdom to see you!" In my opinion, the eldest brother is concerned about his mother, but he also misses His Holiness. He found the best jade, pondered a jade statue of Maitreya Buddha, and asked me to bring it to His Holiness. It's just that His Holiness didn't recognize me, so I was embarrassed to give her the jade statue. ”

Hu Mei remembered that the first time Ke Niang saw Lin Niang, Lin Niang had just had a serious illness - her whole face was covered with a terrifying red rash, and she couldn't see anyone at all if she didn't cover it. So although Ke Niang was good friends with her, she had never seen Lin Niang's face, nor had she heard Lin Niang speak. A few times later, by mistake, the two never met again.

But it's not right to hide your identity from Ke Niang. Hu Mei said with a straight face: "Since the above has sent you to serve by His Holiness, you have to put all your heart on her." I know you're arrogant, and I don't want her to know you're my daughter and look at you differently. But you can't hide it after all, you should be honest with her. ”

She taught her daughter earnestly: "People get along with each other, but if you want to get a good result, you must treat each other with sincerity." You don't deceive her, you know what kind of person she is, and she will never fail you! ”

The rosary pondered carefully, and after a while, she bent her knees to Hu Mei and blessed her body, and said with a smile: "What my mother said, my daughter has memorized." When I go back, I will be honest with His Holiness. ”

"That's good! The relationship between you and me doesn't have to be publicized, we just know it in our hearts. Also, you'll have to change your name! No matter who you speak to, remember to call her 'girl'. Don't make a big mistake by saying it for a while! After Hu Mei finished the housework, he asked again, "You said to send things?" Is it true or an excuse? ”

The rosary hurriedly untied the burden on her body, and said, "Of course it's true! I'm very cautious when I run errands, so I won't make excuses to come out to see my mother. This time it was a coincidence. The girl told me to bring you this. ”

She had already taken off her burden, Hu Mei took it and put it on the table, quickly untied it, and took out an ordinary food box. When she opened the lid of the food box, she saw a small stack of peeled nuts on a porcelain plate.

The rosary said: "The girl sent me to ask if the last amount of clothes can be done, and if they are ready, let them be sent to the house as soon as possible to try them on, and if they are inappropriate, they should be modified quickly; If it's not done yet, I'll urge you. This is a famous snack in the Eastern Tang Dynasty Fried chestnuts with sugar, and the girl eats it very fragrant. She also peeled off the shell herself. All that's left is the nuts and tell me to send them so you can use some while they're hot. ”

Hu Mei smiled: "I love to eat these fruits and kernels, she always remembers them." As he spoke, he put a chestnut kernel into his mouth and ate it, and asked the rosary, "Will you eat it?" ”

The rosary shook her head and said seriously: "The girl said, this is specially given to you, so that you can eat it alone." He smiled and narrowed his eyes, "But the girl has already reserved my share, and I can eat it when I get back." Just peel it yourself. ”

Hu Mei chewed the chestnut kernels in her mouth, listening to her daughter's words, she always felt that Ke Niang specially sent such a plate of nuts for other purposes. She frowned in thought. Suddenly, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he muttered in his mouth: "Dongtang, nuts." Eastern Tang ...... People! Nuts, nuts, nuts...... Wrap people! ”

Suddenly, he clapped his hands lightly, and Hu Mei suddenly realized. I see! Wrap, wrap also, hide also. Ke Niang's meaning is estimated to be to let her help hide a person from the Eastern Tang Dynasty!

It's really a delicate heart and liver with seven tricks, and it's not the same brain, I'm afraid I can't guess what she means. Hu Mei looked at her daughter again, knowing that Ke Niang probably didn't trust Lin Niang yet, otherwise she could have directly asked Lin Niang to pass the word.

Seeing that her mother's gaze was a little strange, she asked curiously, "Mother, what did you just say?" Isn't this nut tasty? Alas, I've been delayed for some time on the way here, I'm afraid it's already cold, right? ”

Hu Mei asked urgently: "What are you doing on the road?" How can you delay time! Has the girl ever told you when you will go back? ”

The rosary bit her lip and recalled, and after a while, she said ashamedly: "It seems to say that I should go and come back quickly, but I want to find out some news for the girl, so I ......"

"You kid!" Hu Mei secretly thought, he is only ten years old, and he has never served anyone, where do he know the principles that should be followed by a servant and a maid? She hurriedly pushed the rosary out of the dark room and said in a low voice, "You go back and tell the girl honestly, don't hide the slightest." For my sake, she won't send you back, and your experience won't be in vain. ”

The rosary was startled, turned her head and asked her mother, "Is there such a strict zhòng?" ”

Hu Mei knew that this was not a good time to teach his daughter, so he replied simply: "Of course! What the girl needs is a subordinate who acts on her orders, not a slave who makes her own decisions. It's good that you're smart, but you also have to know when. To do things for the girl, you have to be single-minded! ”

For a while, the mother and daughter had already left the dark room and returned to the private room. Hu Mei deliberately amplified his voice and said: "Fang Cai has already seen those clothes, and I also bother to ask my little sister to give the third girl, if she is interested, the slave family will definitely keep it for her." ”

The rosary also understood, and gave Hu Mei a blessing on his knees, and said in a brisk tone: "The big shopkeeper, please keep those materials for a few more days, and I will quickly reply to the girl." ”

As the two were talking, they came out with a curtain, and sure enough, there were guests resting in the adjacent private room outside, and there were slaves and maids brought by others standing at the door. Hu Mei stopped sending it, and said that he would greet the old lady, the wife, and the girls on her behalf, and gave her a small silver coin of one or two prayer beads, and sent her back.

After the rosary turned the corner and walked to the staircase leading to the next floor, Hu Mei returned to the private room with a hint of worry. Closing the door carefully, she re-entered the dark room. She recognized that the food box had brought an identical one in the past, with a mezzanine inside. I used to hide a silver ticket, but I don't know what the clip brought today.

Turning the button in the hidden place, Hu Mei found a letter in the mezzanine. In the letter, Zong Zhengke explained that he really wanted to ask her to help place a seriously injured Eastern Tang Dynasty man in the backyard of Qiluo Pavilion tonight. also entrusted her with another important matter in detail in a short space.

In the envelope, in addition to the white paper full of words, there is also a small Ruyi made of pure gold that is only three inches long. On top of Ruyi, one side is engraved with ancient characters of ancient and mysterious. On the other side are nine miniature pixiu of different shapes. Her hand shook, and she held the wishful thinking tightly in her palm, so nervous that her face turned pale.

The people of the Eastern Tang Dynasty were also seriously injured, and Kaori Street was really a good hiding place. There are many shops selling spices, powders, and fabrics. There are many foreign merchants. In addition, the clothes and temples are fragrant all day long, and the vast majority of the people who are sent are women, and the sky over this street is full of rich fragrance.

In addition to clothing and needlework, Kira Court itself also sells spices and fat powders sold from other countries. In addition, it has a superior geographical location, and there are incense powder shops on the left and right, which is equivalent to being immersed in the fragrance. Even if you hide a stranger with the smell of blood on your body, it is not easy to be detected.

Look at the time, it's really not early. Hu Mei sighed secretly, no wonder Ke Niang told Lin Niang to go early and return early, this was to give her time to prepare. She didn't dare to delay any longer. Hands-on, in the backyard of the storage of one of the most fragrant spices, to clean up a small space that can live in people, and then the store staff who have been in contact with the Dongtang people every once in a while to find an excuse to send out. When everything is done, it will be time to enter the sea.

At this time, the store had already closed, and Hu Mei sent the clerks away. It is impossible for the huge Qiluo Pavilion to be all the henchmen brought by Hu Mei, so naturally they must also hire some people locally. However, all along, the night guards were not locals, but all of them were reliable subordinates who were transferred from all over the world by the Daepushou Zen Temple.

The area of Qiluo Pavilion is not large, and there are still 20 nurses in the hospital who are divided into two shifts to strictly protect at night. After all, some spices are more expensive than gold. Some of the most exotic fabrics are also worth a lot of money. The head of the nursing institute is a well-known official outer disciple of the Dapushou Zen Temple, and she is also a woman, who is nearly fifty years old, and is not weak in cultivation with seven grades. She is known as the cicada mama. Hu Mei found her to discuss secretly, and after the plan was completed, the two waited in the courtyard of the small warehouse where they planned to hide.

At midnight, Mama Cicada suddenly frowned and said in a low voice, "It's here!" She could feel a terrifying aura far beyond her hidden somewhere, probably because she had found someone else. Not daring to show up - this shows that this man must be extremely cautious in his heart.

Hu Mei looked around, blessed himself in one direction at random, and said softly: "The slave Hu family's Meiniang is specially waiting for your guests here on the orders of her superiors. Please also show up! ”

In a moment, a figure slowly emerged from the eaves of the small warehouse against the wall. The white sideburns of the cicada mother fluttered lightly in the evening breeze, and she muttered solemnly: "Hide the secret!" She had already recognized the exercises of the compatible, which was one of the superior concealment exercises of the Tianyi True Sect.

"Good eyesight!" The visitor slowly paced out, his tall body wrapped in a gray cloak, and a cold mask under the hood on his head. His voice was extremely hoarse and cold, he clenched his fists and bowed his hands, and said in a deep voice, "In Xia Tiemian, I have seen two ladies. ”

Hu Mei bent his knees to Tie Mian again, and said softly: "Don't dare to be Mr. Tie's 'Mrs.', Mr. can call the slave Hu Niangzi," and introduced, "This is Mama Cicada." ”

"In this way, there will be Lao Hu Lady and Cicada Mama." Iron Mask said in a low voice, "I won't be bothered for too long, please rest assured!" ”

"This is not the place to speak, and Mr. Tie is invited into the house." Hu Mei motioned to the small warehouse behind him, and he went first, and Mama Cicada followed closely behind. Seeing this, Iron Mask silently followed into the small door. Greeted by a very pungent and rich fragrance, he sneezed suddenly, and then blood overflowed from his mouth, which he quietly wiped away.

Mama Cicada raised her eyebrows, and she smelled blood. It was just a sneeze, and this iron-masked gentleman touched his internal organs, and it seemed that the injury was really not light. But her vigilance has not gone, even if the other party is seriously injured, her cultivation is still above herself, and she must not be underestimated.

The best thing about this warehouse is that there is a cellar where the iron mask temporarily settles. The place is small, and it is quite cramped for a tall man like Iron Mask to hide in, but it is better to be safe. And because of this, it is used to store spices, which is not damp at all, and is very dry, which is very suitable for people with serious injuries.

As soon as Tie Mian entered, he breathed a sigh of relief, looked back at Hu Mei who was standing above the cellar and said, "Thank you Lady Hu for bothering to arrange it!" ”

Hu frowned, and said with a light smile: "Although Mr. Tie is recuperating here, his daily needs are either sent by the slave family or by the cicada grandmother." There are trap buttons up and down the cellar, and the slave family and the cicada will knock on the door before they come in, with three long and two short as the number. Please also keep in mind, sir! ”

Tie Mian nodded silently, hugged his fists and saluted, and sat directly on the ground, next to a bag of spices to heal his wounds. Hu Mei took a few steps back, and Mama Cicada personally closed the door made of heavy iron, and there was a wooden door on top of it that was no different from the wooden floor, and then put several bags of spices on it.

This night, Hu Mei was full of worries, and he fell asleep dimly until dawn. But after only an hour, she got up, and first instructed the girl to reply to the third girl at Zongzheng's house, saying that she would thank the third girl for the nuts, she had eaten them all, and the taste was excellent. The clothes have been all done, and I asked if I had time to try on them in the morning. After that, she hurriedly had breakfast, and then dressed up and took a carriage to the house of the big shopkeeper of Tianxia Huitong Money Village on Longtai Street.

Behind the Qiluo Pavilion stands the Dapushou Zen Temple, and the world Huitong is the royal property of the Dasheng Empire. In Uogawa Prefecture, Kira Pavilion and Tianxia Huitong are both semicolons, but naturally there is an intersection.

Hu Mei took office as the chief shopkeeper of Qiluo Pavilion in Yuchuan Mansion last year, and soon became familiar with the "backyard route" and the big shopkeeper of Tianxia Huitong Daqian Village. Like her, this big money shopkeeper is not a Tianxing countryman, but a domestic slave under the Imperial Cabinet of the Dasheng Empire, and it took decades to accumulate enough qualifications to be released.

In the backyard of his house, there is not a lady in the head, but a young concubine who has arrived in Tianxingguo. This pear blossom pressed begonia, naturally it is pampered. The beautiful concubine is good at fancy clothes and likes fat powder, and often patronizes Qiluo Pavilion. After coming and going, coupled with some tacit intersections with each other, Hu Mei can now sit on the honorable position of a distinguished guest in the mansion of the treasurer of the big money.

But today, in addition to sending a gorgeous cloth to this beautiful concubine, Hu Mei also said some words alone with the shopkeeper of Qian. I don't know what the content is, after sending Hu Mei away, the clothes that the shopkeeper changed were actually wet from the inside out. The beautiful concubine was coquettish and wanted to inquire about it, but she was scolded by the shopkeeper of the big money, and she was no longer favored.

The shopkeeper of Qian Da is suffering words, he never expected that a low-level person like him would be able to see the Ruyi Pixiu Order with his own eyes in his lifetime! One after the other, there are still two! And today, Hu Mei showed the ninth order that was given by him personally!

- I'm not scared, it's a big deal! (To be continued.) )
