"The most important thing to be a craftsman is to have hands, metacarpophalangeal joints must be flexible and moderate, this child is the best time to train at a young age, so you must find a good master, and you must not bury talents."

The boss wanted to take the puppy, but he really didn't dare to cultivate such a craftsman genius easily, so he should let the old craftsman with more exquisite skills take it.

"Then boss, do you know any masters, let's go and visit."

Shen Mo looked at the little dog, and really hoped to find him a good master, only if he got ahead could he no longer be bullied.

"The old man heard that there was a master surnamed Ge Mingxing, a carving artist from the palace, and his craftsmanship was exquisite. But now he has no fixed place to live, and it's not easy to find. ”

The boss sighed, Mr. Ge Xing has stopped receiving carving works since he was old, and how many famous nobles have spent a lot of money just to ask for a work, but ah, they have all been rejected.

But Ge Xing has been famous for so many years, and he has never heard of his willingness to recruit apprentices.

If you can let the puppy worship Ge Xing as a teacher, it would be great for the puppy.

Shen Mo chose a set of carving tools for the little dog, thanked the boss and left with the little dog and Chen Xiling.

"Little dog, are you willing to find Master Ge Xing to learn from him?"

Although Shen Mo is the eldest lady of the Shen family, after all, this is the little dog's own business, and he can't make decisions for him without authorization, so now he needs to listen to the little dog's own thoughts.

"I'm willing, I want to carve more things for the eldest lady and daddy."

The little dog laughed happily, he also understood the conversation between the eldest lady and the boss just now, and the eldest lady wanted to let herself worship a master to carve more good things.

"Okay, since you're willing, then I'll discuss it with your father when I go back."

Shen Mo felt that it was necessary to discuss it with the housekeeper, after all, it was about the future of the little dog, and he couldn't be careless.

Back at the Shen Mansion, the little dog couldn't put it down with Shen Mo's newly bought carving tools, and vowed that he would protect them well this time.

"I didn't expect you to have such a side."

Chen Xiling followed Shen Mo all the way, watching her concentrate on selecting tools for the puppy and caring about the future of the puppy, for a subordinate child, she did this is really puzzling.

"It's nothing, it's just that I see that the puppy is very talented, and I don't want him to bury it."

The silent and calm answer made Chen Xiling more curious about her and wanted to know more about this person.

Obviously he has done so many things for the puppy, but he doesn't show off at all, as if it was natural.

The sun was shining brightly today, and Shen Mo and Chen Xiling were basking in the sun on the rocking chairs respectively.

"Sister, I guessed that you were in the Golden Jade Pavilion."

Shen Yan shook off the carefully selected Xiupa, and walked in from outside the pavilion with small steps.

Compared with the morning, now Shen Yan has changed to a revealing style, the pink bandeau skirt can't be lower, the red silk around the waist is lined with a water snake-like figure, and the almost transparent tulle is draped over the shoulders, if there is nothing.

Shen Yan saw that the handsome boy he saw in the early morning was also there, and he was finally relieved, and he didn't waste his dress in vain.

"Is there something wrong with my sister?"

Shen Mo didn't think that Shen Yan could do anything good when he came to Jinyu Pavilion to find himself, it must be that the weasel didn't have a good heart to greet the chicken.

Since this is the case, then she will accompany Shen Mo to act in a play to see what kind of ghost Shen Yan is doing.

"My sister came to tell my sister the news, the annual poetry meeting of Shuxia Kingdom is about to start."

Shen Yan glanced at Chen Xiling with his remaining light, and found that he was not looking at himself, his face was not revealed, and he couldn't help but be very anxious in his heart.

"I naturally know that the poetry meeting will be held in three days, this is the most anticipated conference for the women of the entire Shuxia country, is it possible that my sister thinks that I, as a sister, still need you to make a special trip to remind me?"

Shen Mo looked at Shen Yan's contrived appearance, and naturally ruthlessly debunked it.

"My sister misunderstood, my sister just wanted to catch up with my sister, I haven't seen my sister for a few days, and I really miss it in my heart."

Shen Yan looked like he was thinking about his sister, if it weren't for Chen Xiling, he would have heard about the deeds of the Shen family's Yuan clan and the second miss from the old ghost, maybe he would have been confused by her illusion.

"My sister is really sweet."

Shen Mo saw through Shen Yan's careful thoughts, wasn't it just Chen Xiling staying in her Golden Jade Pavilion, and Shen Yan followed closely to join in the fun.

"Catch up, I'll go out."

Chen Xiling has always been reluctant to stay for a second for the people he hates, and when he heard that Shen Yan wanted to catch up with Shen Mo, he naturally chose to leave.

"I don't know the name of this son..."

Shen Yan grabbed the corner of Chen Xiling's clothes and asked his name directly.

Chen Xiling reflexively shook off Shen Yan's hand, his eyebrows were full of impatience, but after all, Shen Mo was still here, and this was Shen Mansion, if he didn't give Shen Yan face too much, I was afraid that Shen Yan would have to think crookedly about Shen Mo again.

"Under Chen Xiling, the head of the Changshan faction."

Chen Xiling had to symbolically answer Shen Yan.

Hearing Brother Gongzi's reply, Shen Yan's heart blossomed with joy.

"Sister is so blessed, she actually recognized the same master as the head of the Changshan faction."

Shen Yan said with a hint of sarcasm, thinking that no wonder he had disappeared in the past few days, it turned out that he had secretly gone to Changshan alone to recognize the master.

"If you can't marry Lord Wu, it's the same scenery to marry the head of the Changshan faction!"

Shen Yan covered his mouth with a handkerchief and laughed secretly, in Shen Mo's opinion, he was nothing more than a villain.

Hearing the name of Wu Wang Ye Tingchen, Chen Xiling was obviously stunned, he hadn't heard of this person for a long time.

Shen Mo was reminded by Shen Yan that he hadn't seen Ye Tingchen for some time, and he didn't know if he was doing well now. But he is a high-ranking prince, no matter how bad he is, he will definitely live better than her, a little ordinary person!

"Shen Yan, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth."

Although Shen Mo had a marriage with Ye Tingchen in her previous life, she was not sure that she would be able to have a good relationship with Ye Tingchen in this life.

"Sister, don't worry about me, let's worry about yourself more."

Shen Yan left this sentence and twisted the waist of the water snake and left, she didn't want Shen Mo to feel better, the men next to her were just blinded by her.

"Let's go out and investigate, you definitely don't want to stay in the Shen Mansion."

Silent and bitter smile, although she didn't say anything about Chen Xiling, she was actually very envious in her heart, as the head of the Changshan faction, and there was a master who loved her very much, her life must be very happy.

"Are you going to go to a poetry meeting?"

Chen Xiling asked tentatively, he already had an inexplicable affection for Shen Mo in his heart, just now Shen Yan said that Shen Mo couldn't marry King Wu before marrying him, if he didn't understand it wrong, did Shen Mo like King Wu?

"Yes."

Shen Mo replied very firmly, because she not only wanted to participate, but also to win the first place, so as to attract Ye Tingchen's attention, and it would also be very helpful for her to marry into the palace in the future.

Chen Xiling looked at Shen Ming's innocent little face, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, since she wanted to go, then accompany her.

Shen Mo suddenly remembered the old grandmother who sold pineapple cakes in the market, maybe she would know something, otherwise she wouldn't have told her to go home early that day.

It must have been the grandmother who also heard the cry for help, and this cry for help was far away in the western suburbs, if the grandmother could hear it, it meant that she was not an ordinary person, maybe she was also a spiritual person with spiritual power.

Naturally, he pulled up Chen Xiling's cuffs, and silently led him through the streets and alleys to find the old grandmother that day.

Chen Xiling followed Shen Mo quietly like this, not breaking away, but in order not to let Shen Mo work too hard to match her pace.

Chen Xiling likes this feeling of being led very much, or he likes to be taken by Shen Mo very much, looking at Shen Mo's side face, a few strands of hair on his forehead are floating around, which is very charming.

Chen Xiling suddenly wanted to follow Shen Mo like this all the time, no matter where he went, as long as he could be with her.

Slightly frightened by his own thoughts, Chen Xiling's cheeks lit up with two blushes, and his expression was unnatural.

"Look, the old lady who sells pineapple cakes is there, let's go over and ask."

Shen Mo was very excited to see the old woman, she must ask this time to understand.

"Uh... Okay, pass. ”

Chen Xiling opened his mouth and found that his speech was actually not neat, blaming himself for being so unproductive.

"What's wrong with you, why are you so red?"

Silently listened to Chen Xiling's hesitation, and when he looked back, he found that his cheeks were red.

"Uh... It's nothing, it's just choking, and then it's a little hot..."

Chen Xiling cursed in annoyance, didn't he just fantasize about it, why did he still blush, it was really embarrassing to throw it home.

looked at Shen Mo and didn't seem to care, his mind was on the old woman who sold pineapple cakes, which made Chen Xiling ease up a little.

Following Shen Mo over, Chen Xiling found that there was something wrong with this old woman who sold pineapple cakes, and obviously saw Shen Mo walking over, but she planned to put things away.

"Grandma, do you still recognize me, I came to you that day to buy pineapple cake."

Shen Mo stretched his face in front of the old grandmother, hoping that she would think of herself.

"I don't know, I don't know..."

The old grandmother hurriedly put away the pineapple cake that had been placed, and she looked like she wanted to leave immediately, but she was stunned at this time, and she didn't know why the old woman was hiding from herself.

"Take a good look, I just came over to buy your pineapple cake a few days ago, and I heard a cry for help at that time, and you heard it too, and asked me to go home early."

Shen Mo recounted the scene to the grandmother, hoping to wake up the grandmother and remind the grandmother.

"I didn't hear it, I didn't hear anything, I'm old, my eyes are bad, my ears are bad, and I don't remember who you are."

The old grandmother lowered her head and groped wildly, her eyes dodging vigorously.

Chen Xiling watched all the grandmother's small movements, gave Shen Mo a look, and told her that the grandmother was lying.

Understood what Chen Xiling meant, nodded silently, in fact, she also found that something was wrong with the old grandmother, obviously deliberately saying that she didn't know and couldn't remember.

"You said you didn't remember me, but when you saw me coming, you started packing up your things and pretending to be confused and planning to leave, which means that you not only remember me but also know why I came, right?"

Asked silently, it seems that this old woman does know something.

The old grandmother looked around, and pedestrians came and went.

"Girl, come with me."

The old grandmother put away her pineapple cake and walked along the street with Shen Mo and Chen Xiling.

Shen Mo and Chen Xiling didn't know why, but the old grandmother didn't seem to resist so much, and in order to get an answer, she had to go with her.

"Alright, here we go."

In front of me is a thatched house, which looks small but looks like it has been newly renovated.

Shen Mo and Chen Xiling glanced at each other and followed the old grandmother in.

"Sit down, this is my house, and my son hasn't come back yet, so I'm the only one living now."

The old lady arranged for the two of them to go in and bring them hot tea.

"If there's anything you want to ask, just ask."

The old lady sat down, there were many people on the street just now, and some questions really could not be answered.

"You did hear a call for help at the time, didn't you?"

Silence must ask the answer, this question is very important.

"Yes, I heard you."

The old grandmother knew that Shen Mo came to find herself this time for this problem, and it seemed that she still couldn't hide from it, and she still had to come.

"This person calling for help is probably in the western suburbs, far away from the market, you can actually hear it, could it be... Do you have spiritual powers? ”

The reason why Shen Mo is sensitive to sound is because of the spiritual power in his body. If the grandmother can really hear it, in addition to having a special function, only spiritual power can explain it.

"That's right. When I was young, I was told by a fortune teller that I had spiritual power in my body, and when he clicked on it, I could hear voices far away. ”

The old grandmother shook her head, she loved and hated the ability of this spiritual power, at that time her husband died, she was alone with her son, because her ears could hear distant sounds, so she could clearly identify the location of her son, so she was very relieved, now she is old and wants to live a pure life, but there are still all kinds of voices in her ears.

Hearing the grandmother's admission that she had spiritual power confirmed her guess, she was relieved.

"Then why did you deny it and tell me to go home early?"

The silent attitude softened a little, in fact, the old grandmother did nothing wrong, if she resolutely resisted today and did not answer at all, they would have no choice.

"You were alone at the time, and I was afraid that you would be killed if you broke through alone."

The old grandmother didn't want to say it, but Shen Mo kept asking, so she could only tell her the truth.

"What do you mean by this, that you know that someone is persecuting someone's life?"

Shen Mo thought back to the time, and the help she heard didn't seem to be anything special, and even she thought it was a woman who fell down or was hit helplessly shouting for help, hoping that someone would come over to help her, and she didn't think about the victim for the first time.

"I don't know the specifics, it's just that I sell pineapple cakes in the market every day, and almost every once in a while, a woman will shout for help."

Shen Mo sighed in his heart, could it be that many women have been killed? The old grandmother also admitted that she had spiritual power to hear the voice of the western suburbs, so what was the woman's cry for help she was talking about?

Could it be that the cries for help and the women's cries I heard behind me were also women who were persecuted with the same fate?

Shen Mo realized that he seemed to have discovered a shocking secret, and if it was true, it would inevitably cause an uproar.

"Okay, I've told you everything I know, go away, don't come to me again."

After the old grandmother finished speaking, she gave an eviction order to Shen Mo and Chen Xiling, she didn't want to get involved in the affairs of young people when she was old, she just wanted to be safe.

Now that he has been answered, Shen Mo really can't stay here anymore, but this thing has suddenly become so terrible, I'm afraid I have to start planning from scratch again.

"What to do, I feel that things are so tricky, if it is self-defeating, it will cause more people to lose their lives."

Silently scratching his head, not knowing what to plan next.

"According to what you think, my Changshan Sect can help you."

Chen Xiling didn't want to see silence embarrassed, not to mention that the old ghost liked her so much, even if she didn't open her mouth, he would do his best to help her.

"Thank you."

looked at Chen Xiling silently and sincerely, although he didn't have a good impression of him at first, but he really didn't do anything to be sorry for himself, and he brought the entire Changshan faction to help him.

"Let's go find the old man, and we'll have to discuss this matter with him."

Chen Xiling was a little shy, looking at Shen Mo suddenly thanking herself, she felt in her heart that Shen Mo had accepted herself a little, otherwise she would not have said thank you.

"Okay."

Nodding silently, he followed Chen Xiling to find the old ghost.

Wu Wangfu, Ye Tingchen is meeting with Li Wen, a great benevolent person in the capital, to discuss the poetry meeting in three days.

"Li Yuanwai, you contributed the most to the poetry meeting last year, how much do you plan to contribute this year?"

Ye Tingchen picked up the teacup and lowered his head to take a sip, then turned to look up at Li Wen.

Li Wen's family bought and sold foreign wine and silk, relying on the family power and officials for business, and made a lot of profits from it, and the family business was huge.

"Back to the prince, this year's business is really bleak, a lot of goods are backlogged in the warehouse, and the funds in my hands are almost overturned."

Li Wen bowed his hand, looking apologetic.

Ye Tingchen listened to Li Wen's words, which meant that he didn't want to invest in the construction of the poetry club this year.

"What, business difficulties?"

Ye Tingchen stared at the eagle eye, and the frightened Li Wen didn't dare to look up, so he just lowered his head and drank tea.

"Do you want this king to help you? Your cousin is a third-grade official in the court, it seems that his position is not high enough, why don't this king help you walk the way for him? ”

Ye Tingchen raised his eyebrows and stared at Li Wen playfully. Playing tricks with him, he is not an opponent yet. Originally, they colluded with officials and businessmen to turn a blind eye to him, but now they dare to cry poor in front of him.

"Don't worry, this year's poetry will definitely live vigorously in the next year. It's just that the goods piled up in this warehouse are not suitable to be realized..."

Looking at Li Wen said tentatively, Ye Tingchen smiled, how could he not understand what he meant.

"Don't worry, the goods in your warehouse will be realized by the king, and you just need to build the poetry club."

Hearing what Wu Wangye said, Li Wen's heart blossomed. He didn't invest much money in building a poetry club, and it was just a drop in the bucket for him, but if he could sell the goods that had accumulated in the warehouse with the help of King Wu, it would be a profitable business.

After Li Wen left happily, Ye Tingchen also returned to the study where he handled government affairs.

Now that more than dozens of women have disappeared, and now it is just in time for the poetry meeting, and more than half of the participants are ladies of the same age as the missing woman, so it is better not to have an accident.

"Master, I found a situation."

The wind entered the study and saw that the master was frowning.

"Say."

Ye Tingchen raised his head and stretched his brows with his hands, and then asked.

"These missing women are all young ladies who have not left the cabinet, and they all wrote letters with their lovers before they disappeared, and I went to the mansions of those young ladies to inquire, but there was no way to know when and where they met their lovers."

Ye Tingchen felt that this was an important clue, and the lover should be a cover to lure them out.

"Then these lovers only appear in letters, and has anyone really seen them?"

Ye Tingchen knew that such a hope was small and small, but he still asked without giving up.
