I was full of ambition for a while, if it weren't for the fear of scaring cats and dogs, I really hated to sing a song.

Humming a little tune, I strode forward with my head back, and suddenly a round rumbling thing rolled at my feet, almost tripping me up.

I looked down.

"Head?"

"Girl, it's not good, something happened."

I looked around, and it was good that there was no one.

I picked my head up from the ground and turned to burrow into a nearby rockery.

"In broad daylight, what should you do if you run out without covering up and bumping into people?"

The head said anxiously: "Girl, I really can't help it." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

"Xiao Sixi he was arrested."

Alas, he really pressed down the gourd and scooped it again, "Who caught him?" ”

"Mountaintop Daoist."

"What the hell is going on? Can you not hit a stick and let it out a little bit, and connect the words to explain that it's okay? ”

His head trembled and said: "A few days ago, the old lady in this house was sick, and the doctor took the medicine for a few days, and the condition continued unabated. ”

I used to be an immortal cultivator, although I have never been down to Mangdang Mountain, but within a radius of thousands of miles, there are famous and powerful Taoist priests and demon hunters, basically know, but I have never heard of such a name as a Taoist on the top of the mountain.

"Where did this mountaintop Taoist come out? How is it cultivated? ”

"This mountaintop Taoist was formerly known as Zhang Kuishou, who has been unknown for the past few years, and in the last year or so, I don't know what kind of karma he had, and suddenly made a fortune, and specially gave the dignitaries of Kangjing Kingdom to see things to eliminate disasters and exorcise evil spirits, and eight or nine times out of ten it was also effective, so he gradually gained some fame, especially the dignitaries' family members were extra convinced of him, and he didn't have much advanced cultivation, just three points of true ability and seven points of flickering."

"It sounds like this person is just Er'er, how could Xiao Sixi fall for him?"

"Xiao Sixi and I didn't put him in our eyes, knowing that he was coming, Xiao Sixi also pulled me to see the excitement, we followed the Taoist man invisibly, I didn't want to be noticed by him, the Taoist turned around and beat Xiao Sixi into shape, and they were entangled in one place, originally Xiao Sixi has always had the upper hand, who knew that the Taoist priest suddenly took out a yellow rune paper, the mana on the rune paper is very powerful, Xiao Sixi was careless, and was stopped by the Taoist priest's yellow rune, and then the Taoist priest put Xiao Sixi into the demon bag."

"And what were you doing?"

"I, I don't see the situation well, just, I'll slip away first, and I'll sneak out to find you."

"Hmph, you're smart."

The head cried: "Yes, I am cowardly, useless, my brother is in trouble, but I escaped, I wasted my aura alive, and I just passed away when I died, I simply refined myself." ”

The movement in my head was not small, I was afraid that he would alarm others, so I hurriedly comforted: "Okay, okay, I apologize, I shouldn't praise you for being clever, I don't mean anything else, don't make trouble first, let's hurry up and think of a way to see how we can rescue Xiao Sixi." ”

His head sobbed and said, "I don't have any idea at all, so I'll let the girl arrange it." ”

I thought about it a little bit.

Let's not talk about the mana of that yellow rune paper, just talk about this demon bag.

The demon bag belongs to the immortal magic weapon, although it is not high-end, but it is not something that can be bought casually in the market.

This mountaintop Daoist cultivates averagely, but he can be equipped with a magic weapon like a demon bag, and there must be a higher cultivation immortal behind him to support him.

Then we must not let this mountaintop Taoist return to the mountain, and he must be solved on the spot in Xiangguofu.

I turned my head and asked, "When that Dao person and Xiao Sixi made a move, could they be seen by the rest of Xiangguo Mansion?" ”

shook his head, "Xiao Sixi and I followed him when no one was around, and after they fought, I set up an enchantment around me, so no one knew." ”

"Where is the Taoist priest now?"

"It should be in Zizhuyuan where the old lady lives now."

"I'll go to Zizhuyuan now to see the situation, you go back to the old locust tree and stay honestly, don't come out and stumble around again, you know?"

The head nodded and went incognito.

I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I hurriedly came out of the rockery, and then caught a little guy on the way, and asked him to lead me to Zizhuyuan.

This little guy is a gardener who takes care of flowers and plants in the garden, called Chunlai, I have never met him, but he recognizes me as a young lady from the Qiwang Mansion, and tries his best to please me along the way.

"Grandma is in such a hurry to go to Zizhuyuan, but what's the matter? Why didn't you bring a maid with you? ”

I reprimanded unhappily: "Don't call me grandma, I'm not your grandma yet." ”

This little guy didn't know how to look at people's faces, and continued to say: "The young master's wedding date is just a few days away, and it is a matter of time before you are lifted to your aunt and grandmother, and the villain is here to say hello to you in advance." ”

I couldn't help but roll my eyes as he slapped me with a hippie smile.

He was still chattering endlessly, "Grandma is really a great creation, you don't know, the little girls in this house are all riveted in front of the young master, and they want to climb to the young master's bed in a different way, but unfortunately none of them succeeded, the young master's heart is so high, how can he look down on those skinless and faceless hooves, and in the end, they are not all sold by Mrs., and the chickens and eggs are empty."

My face was even more ugly.

"It's still grandma's blessing, and she was promoted by the young master, although she is not the lady of the main room, but she also has an open face and an identity, and she is half a master! In the future, not only will there be maids to serve, but there will also be three or two months of silver every month, and the monthly price will have to rise after giving birth to a child! ”

I took a closer look at his expression and made sure that he was not burying me, but envious of me.

"Spring is coming, how much money do you have every month?"

"Only one or two."

"Heh, I'm not much different from you."

"It's a whole two taels of silver, my grandmother, my family has a total of seven people, if you save some expenses, one or two pieces of silver is almost enough for our family to eat for three or four months."

I don't have any concept of silver, the Qiwang Mansion and the Xiangguo Mansion are in charge of food and housing, and I don't like to buy jewelry, so there is basically nothing that I need to use silver, even if I want to use silver, as long as I reach out to Chen Muzi, no matter how much, he has never been wrong.

In the past, every time I went out with Chen Muzi to spend all day drinking, I saw him take out dozens of taels of silver at every turn, and I didn't see him reluctant, so I thought that a few dozen taels couldn't buy much things.

I only learned today that one or two pieces of silver were enough for an ordinary family to have food and clothing for three months, and I felt very ashamed when I thought about how much I bought and bought before.

But... Xiangguo Mansion is a great business, but only give my aunt three taels of silver per month, it's really a bit excessive, I went to the kiln before, and the reward for those girls in the tea circle is more than this.

Auntie's job, the salary is so low, the work pressure is great, not only the risk factor is high, but also you have to fight wits and courage with your aunt and sister-in-law, if you make a bad scene, you may be laid off at any time, these are nothing, mainly because there is no room for improvement, no matter how good you do, you can't be promoted, it's simply thankless.

It's really not a job that ordinary people can do, and I don't think I'm up to it anyway.

Let's leave this fat gap to those who need it more.

I'm not uncommon, old lady!

Chunlai continued: "Alas, I have an octogenarian mother, three dolls who open their mouths to wait for food, and an eldest son, who is about to get married. ”

The life of ordinary people is probably like this, and although I have all kinds of troubles, I have never worried about money, which may indeed be a blessing.

Chunlai said with a face full of hope: "I don't have any other hopes, I just hope that the two girls in my family can have a little bit of grandma's blessings, don't ask to be an aunt, as long as I can make a room girl for the master of a big family, I will be content, and then our family can also follow a little light, and the hand is more calm, and the younger son will not worry about the silver when he marries his daughter-in-law in a few years, if he can really get his wish, I will definitely go to my father's grave to kowtow to him two more times." ”

What is the difference between this and selling his daughter, he actually wants to exchange his daughter's lifelong happiness for the dowry of his youngest son to marry his daughter-in-law, is this his own father?

Hey, don't say it, Li Yuanshou is similar to him, they are all raccoon dogs, maybe their fathers are all this virtue?

I became more and more unhappy in my heart, and said in an unkind tone: "What's the good of being a little wife for others, find a good wife for your daughter, whether rich or poor, life is better than looking at people's faces in the mansion." ”

"Alas, grandma is a full man and I don't know how hungry I am, I am a poor man, because my father is poor, and my grandfather is also poor, they all say that they are poor for only three generations, but I have seen ten generations of poor, and now in this world, the poor have no future! To be a concubine for a big family, no matter what, it has changed from a slave to a master, although they are all serving people, it is more hopeful than me serving these flowers and plants! ”

Chunlai's face was sad, "I have been serving flowers in Xiangguo Mansion for five years, and I don't hide it from my grandmother, I have long wanted to change my job, and the little maids who work in the garden with me have been given away by various masters and nobles one after another, and I am left with me, I have not moved the place in the past five years, and the monthly silver has not risen a point." ”

"I'll give you a trick."

Chunlai said: "Grandma say it quickly." ”

"I'll give you a six-word motto: keep your mouth shut and talk less."

It's okay if you don't have the eyesight to see in this big house, the terrible thing is that he doesn't have the eyesight to see so much, it's a trivial matter to go on or not, don't accidentally offend the careful ones one day, such as Mrs. Xiangguo and the like, I'm afraid that my life will be lost.

Seeing that there was Zizhuyuan in front of me, I sent the spring and walked forward by myself.
