() There are eight districts, six squares and 24 main roads in Beijing.

The Yang family and other wealthy families are all in the Qinglong District and Ziwei District, very close to the Imperial Palace.

My witch shop is in Shengjing District Anhao long street, the flow of people is dense, along the street to the south of the past three miles is the famous Ziqing River, when the previous dynasty overturned, Chang Taidi was here to jump into the river and drown.

Uncle Feng and his horse team left, and there were only six of us left in the store.

After I stayed, I didn't go out of the store again, Hua Xixue occasionally accompanied me, and most of the time I ran out. Later, I learned that he went to the street to find food, and no one knew better than him which chicken leg was the best, which chicken leg was the most tender, and which chicken leg was the most unpalatable.

The two bought a lot of desserts, fruits and gift boxes to visit the neighbors, and learned a trick from the gift shop diagonally opposite.

Dinner is all made by Miaohe, her stir-fry skills are better than those of the maiden, and there are many tricks, and what is even more rare is that she also has the skill of making pastries with one hand. However, since she is too frizzy and does things lightly or seriously, I avoid her as far as I can, except for eating.

The jade bow continued to hold a sword and followed me every step of the way. The scar on her face was lost by her master, but it was a pity that her finger was broken. I asked her if she hated Qingluo, and she said that she would kill her if she saw her again. But actually, I miss Qingluo.

The days seem to have returned to the calm and tranquil at the beginning, but things are different.

The store was bigger than the original, and the flowers and plants left by the master in the backyard were better than the ones I used to raise, and I lay in the middle of the flowers and plants in the yard every day with a witch book. But I often look at it and start to be stunned.

When I first rented 21 and added 5, my mood was surging. Although I don't like to go out, I can bounce and hum all day long. Now it's only five years, and four of them are almost nothing, but I feel like I'm seventy or eighty years old all of a sudden. Become lifeless and sentimental.

The sunlight filtered through the shade of the trees and left a dappled shadow on the witch book, like a large field of vicissitudes swaying on it. Someone is smiling at me and crying at me, it's Wei Zhen, Yuelou. Eighteen, eldest brother, Hu Tianming......

The most bitter thing in the world is to push life and death. The most sour in the world, when pushing and dispersing.

This watery day was shattered eight days later in the evening.

We sat in a circle for dinner. The woman is going to do a terrible thing with me, and that is my rent here.

At the beginning, the 21 of the Golden Autumn Long Street in Xuancheng was added to the 5, and the rent that Aunt Jiang gave me was 40 taels a month, but the rent here was 600 taels a month. I was so surprised that I almost choked on the ribs, but she threw up an even more terrifying topic, saying that my master had only paid two months' rent.

She used "only".

But my eyes widened: "You mean, my master gave 1,200 taels?!" ”

She nodded and muttered, "In the end, the seniors are generous or stingy." He didn't even have a hundred taels of the dowry he prepared for you, but he threw more than a thousand taels at you here......

At this time, someone in the lobby shouted, and the woman put down the dishes and chopsticks. Xi said: "Maybe business is coming, I'll take a look." After saying that, he ran away.

I was shocked for a long time by Master's idea of how the old guy was so rich, and I said, "Then let's just not want this shop and build a hut outside the city, right?" The money saved is just enough to make a dowry, more than a thousand taels. It's not too ugly. ”

Hua Xixue frowned: "How can I live outside the city, will the Yang family's sedan chair pick you up at that time?" ”

I lifted my eyelids and looked at him: "Are you stupid?" I can rent a nice house on the day I get married. How expensive can a day's rent be......"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light kite suddenly coughed violently. Glared wildly at me and looked out.

I bit my chopsticks and was about to turn back, but I heard Hua Xixue say again: "Just use that woman's method." ”

I turned back halfway and said, "You mean buy seventy or eighty empty chests full of stones...... Ouch! ”

Someone kicked her calf violently, and I glared at the light kite in displeasure, she was still staring wildly.

I put down my chopsticks, pushed my wheelchair out of my seat, stood up, looked out the door, and shouted, "Girl? Who is it? ”

Through the screen window, a tall woman stood in the courtyard, and I went out with my waist propped up, opened the half-hidden wooden door, and was stunned.

Rao is that I have never seen her before, and I can know who she is from her eyebrows, not to mention that there is a team of imposing maid guards standing next to her, and Uncle Feng.

A stunning face, bright and sharp eyes, like starlight, and skin like a peach and plum. She was wearing a double-layered cloud silk purple gold brocade robe, her hair bun was clean and meticulous, and she was aligned with two filigree gold jade phoenix hairpins, and behind her bun, there were two lilac streamers hanging down, which were like willows in the wind.

is full of supreme nobility and dignity, even the fairy aunt Tang Ying is not as bright and domineering as her.

The maid stood aside with an ugly face: "Miss, you came out by yourself......"

I glanced at her, and my eyes fell on the woman again.

Only then did I realize that I looked like now, a very thick cheap cotton jacket, because I didn't have to go out, I said no need when the light kite helped me comb my hair, and I put it on as a layered coat, and it could be warm. Coupled with my green face, I eat with me now, and my mouth is full of greasy......

I immediately wailed in my heart, why didn't I have a chance to see her when I was carefully preparing my clothes and dressing up, and now when I was the most sloppy, she bumped into her?

I habitually walked to the side: "Come in." ”

She frowned slightly, looked behind me, I blinked, remembered that this was a kitchen, not a hall, and turned around and said, "Light kite, prepare tea." ”

Sitting on the floor in the annex hall, I knelt down in front of her, and the light kite took the flower tea and retreated, and then Uncle Feng took away all the maids and guards in the house.

"Call me Auntie."

I nodded, and said "Auntie." ”

"Suddenly, it was abrupt."

I looked into her eyes, she also looked into mine, I lowered my eyebrows, and went straight to the point: "Auntie, are you looking for me to have anything to do with Yang Xiuyi?" ”

She picked up the tea and nodded lightly: "Not bad." He took a sip of tea and put it down. Curved lips and smiled, but the smile did not penetrate into her eyes: "Miss Yue, Cheng'er will be back tomorrow." ”

I nodded, and paused: "Cheng'er is Yang Xiuyi?" ”

She didn't speak, and I knew it was rude. "Oh, he's back tomorrow......"

I didn't know that I hadn't seen him for almost half a year, and I hadn't been in touch. I miss him every day, but I can't hear from him, and he certainly doesn't know that Master has placed me here. Otherwise, why don't you write me a paper crane?

sighed slightly in my heart, half a year, Yang Xiuyi, I don't have a long time to live, and you still have to waste this half a year. Don't you think it's a pity?

However, I always thought that I would be nervous when facing Yang Xiuyi's mother, and I even thought about a bunch of messy things at the beginning. But now that I was actually face to face, I didn't feel a little cramped, and besides, she still had an undisguised indifference, but I didn't feel any uneasiness.

Maybe marrying Yang Xiuyi or not is meaningless to me. I never took that marriage letter seriously. Maybe, after experiencing so much wind and rain, I have seen too many cows, ghosts, snakes, gods and strange lights. I'm not the same person I was five years ago.

I didn't know what she came to me for, but I imagined the reasons for this, and felt that there were two most possibilities, one was to ask me to leave and tell me not to be delusional, and the other was to ask me for business. I've heard that the lady's paper is being distributed quite quickly. Of course, it is impossible to have Tian Chujiu printed on it. It's a crescent moon, but it's almost ten days. Still not a single business.

After figuring out two possibilities, I was thinking of a way to deal with it, if I was told to leave, unless I used their relationship with the Yang family, I would not leave, this store was rented by my master, why should I leave. But if it's a business, how much discount do I give her? Or simply not a penny?

I thought about it a lot, but I didn't think anything was right, she actually came to give me a gift, and this gift made me stunned.

She pushed me a brocade box, three pieces of ancient jade.

The first piece, Tearful Xuanchen, was larger than anything I've ever seen, and was brilliant blue.

The second piece, Tailing warm jade, was mentioned in the "Kun Shijing", and it was the only one in the world.

The third piece, Sutu ancient jade, is not very large, but the color is the most deep.

She said lightly: "I heard that you are afraid of cold, this piece of warm jade can help you drive away the cold, and you can go out in a single shirt in winter in the future." ”

My eyes were fixed on the warm jade that glowed red, and I couldn't find words for a while.

She said: "You are wizards, you are more involved in dangers on weekdays, and this piece of Sutu ancient jade has the strongest aura, and you wear it on your body, which can be used to drive away evil spirits and avoid demons." ”

I raised my eyes to look at her, she always looked at me, looking at each other, my gaze was already wavering, but she was always cold and indifferent, with that innate nobility and domineering.

I still couldn't find the words, and I couldn't guess what she was trying to do.

Wide-eyed and small-eyed for a long time, she lowered her eyebrows, lifted the teacup with her slender jade-like hand, and poured it slowly, the sound of the water was pleasant, lining the room peacefully.

She held the teacup and handed it to her lips, looked at the texture on the table, and said in a casual tone: "Then, does Miss Yue have any opinion on the marriage date?" With that, he threw it back into my face lazily.

My eyes widened for a moment, touching her gaze, and I couldn't help but froze, pretending to be calm: "Marriage? ”

Although I don't know the customs, I also know that the etiquette of marriage under the mountain is very complicated, what Nacai asks for names, Nagina signs, and all of them are handled by matchmakers. But I really didn't expect that she would come to me and ask me about it herself.

She smiled faintly: "Didn't Miss Yue even prepare the dowry?" ”

I bit my lip, what did I just say in the kitchen? I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and my eyes that looked at her finally showed a little cramped, and hung down in embarrassment.

She added: "In fact, the dowry is very meaningless, you have experienced so much between you and Cheng'er, and you don't need to worry about those worldly gifts." However, the dowry of the Moon Girl is indeed very special. ”

The first words warmed me, but the latter sentence sounded deep mockery in my ears. Although she is Yang Xiuyi's mother, but Yang Xiuyi and I are right, can I be polite to her, I was about to slander her a few words, but she said as if she understood my thoughts: "I'm not sarcastic, your master treats you very well, but I heard Uncle Feng say that you are unhappy about this, since I came, I will mention it more." ”

I was stunned: "Do you know what my master has prepared for me?" ”

"Several immortal venerables in Wangyun Cliff are all highly respected, you can be deeply loved by them, and you must have your superiority."

When I said this, my face was red, and I wanted to endure it, but I couldn't help it, and said weakly: "No, they treat everyone the same well, and my master will treat whoever he picks up and goes back without discrimination......"

If she hadn't heard it, she continued: "Cheng'er came back this time, and her body was injured a little, and your wedding date is scheduled for September, what do you think?" ”

Her beautiful eyes finally fluctuated a little as she spoke, but they became more and more unpredictable.

I nodded, "Hmm." ”

So it was decided, she sat down for a while, and then got up to leave, and when she left, she said that she wanted me not to send it, and she didn't say a word about the rest of the polite words, and I didn't like it, and I really didn't send it, so good.

The girl and the light kite were calmly guarding the door, and when they left, they were finally not calm, and the light kite ran anxiously: "Miss, she didn't embarrass you." ”

I took a sip of flower tea: "No, you guys go out first, I want to be alone for a while." ”

They obediently walked out, closed the door by the way, and before closing a white shadow jumped in, and threw himself into my arms in a few steps. I rubbed its fluffy hair, half loud, and whispered, "Little short legs, he seems to be very talkative." ”

Of course, the little short legs ignored me, picked a comfortable position in my arms, and said that they would sleep.

I looked at the three pieces of jade in the brocade box, and was silent.

I could clearly feel that she didn't like me very much. However, she deliberately emphasized Su Tu Guyu to me, which clearly meant that she didn't care about my identity as a wizard at all.

But no matter what, the biggest stone in my heart finally let go.

I kissed the little short leg on the head, placed it on the soft mat, and began to pack up the tea set, when there was a knock on the door.

My first business in Beijing has finally come to the door, and it will be the most special business I have ever done.

More than a month ago, I was still pinching the page of the roster that the maid had flipped through to me and read out her name: "Shen Yunzhen." ”

On such a hot day, she wore more than me, an emerald green lotus warm jacket, a thick brocade butterfly pattern skirt underneath, and a milky white fur cloak outside.

She knelt behind the chessboard in the lobby, pinched a chess piece with her fingers and knocked it on the chessboard crisply, and after hearing the movement of me and the light kite, she raised her eyes and looked at it, and said with an expressionless cold face: "The moon shopkeeper." ”

The candle flame fell on her, and there was no shadow, and I was stunned, she was a ghost.
