A small city in the south, Junzhou.

In the post station, Gu Yue received an invitation from a local official.

"To a feast?" Gu Yue looked at the two invitations, and the other one had Su Yuan's name written on it, "What kind of banquet is this time?" ”

Since they arrived in the small town to the south, the local officials have had a big feast for a few days and a small feast for a few days, but they have not done much to get down to business.

"Also, this is a letter from Miss Qiuyue to Mr. Su." The little servant handed over a letter, "Trouble Mr. Gu to help transfer it to Mr. Su." ”

Gu Yue raised his eyebrows, "Why didn't you hand it over to Su Yuan personally?" ”

The little guy had a bitter face, "Mr. Su is not a guest, the little one really has no choice, so I have to come to beg you." ”

"I don't see the guest......" Gu Yue smiled slightly and took the letter handed over by the little servant.

After the little guy left, Gu Yue came to Su Yuan's door with the letter and invitation.

"Is little Susu there?" Gu Yue raised his voice and called the door.

"Not there." Su Yuan's displeased voice came from the door.

Gu Yue laughed out loud, and regardless of whether Su Yuantong disagreed or not, he directly pushed the door in.

Su Yuan was mixing ink in front of the table, and when he saw Gu Yue coming in, he made a movement in his hand, "Go out." ”

Gu Yue smiled and was not annoyed, "There is an invitation from the government here." He put the invitation card on the table along with the letter, and then stared intently at Su Yuan's face.

"That Miss Qiu wrote you a letter, do you want to take a look?"

Su Yuan's gaze fell on the letter and frowned slightly.

This slight change in expression did not escape Gu Yue's eyes, "If you don't want to see it, then I'll watch it for you." As he spoke, he picked up the letter and tore it open.

"You ......" Su Yuan rushed angrily to seize the letter, Gu Yue moved quickly and dodged it at once.

"Let me see what Miss Qiu told you in the letter?" He unfolded the letter.

Su Yuan couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and grabbed Gu Yue's arm and snatched the letter back.

Gu Yue refused to let go, and as a result, the letter was torn in half.

Su Yuan didn't mind when he saw that the letter was broken, so he directly crumpled the half in his hand and threw it into the wastepaper basket used for painting.

"Xiao Susu is angry?" Gu Yue sneered, and threw away the other half of the letter in his hand.

Su Yuan glanced at him coldly, "Don't bother me if it's okay." ”

Gu Yue looked at the drawing paper on the table.

"You hide in the house all day long and don't show up, and the Feng Pagoda hasn't recruited any manpower until now, if it drags on like this, we won't want to go back to the imperial city for a few years."

"If you want to go back, go back, who is stopping you." Su Yuan said sarcastically, "The new emperor succeeded to the throne, and your Gu clan lost a lot of manpower, so I don't think he will blame you." ”

Gu Yue touched his chin, "That's right, the little emperor won't blame me even if he looks at my father's face." ”

"Then you should go back to the imperial city quickly, don't be an eyesore here." Su Yuan waved his sleeves and drove Gu out of the door.

"What are you going to do when I'm gone." Gu Yue said seriously, "The King of Youyou hasn't come yet, I left you here alone, I'm afraid that even the stones for repairing the Phoenix Pagoda will be stolen." ”

"You ......" Su Yuan wanted to refute, but swallowed the words when they came to his mouth.

Gu Yue is right, the construction of the Feng Pagoda is not something he can handle alone, the local officials are in disobedience to the yin and yang, and they don't do anything at all, if they really leave him here alone, I am afraid that they will not be able to build the Feng Pagoda in ten years.

"It's better to ...... Shall we go back together? Gu Yue's tone was seductive.

Su Yuan's eyes darkened.

It's not that he doesn't want to go back, but he ...... No.

"I know, you're worried about the engagement with the little princess." Gu Yue said with a smile, "It just so happens that the new emperor will succeed to the throne, if you just don't want to marry the princess, you can hand over the excerpt to the emperor, you and I know what the little emperor was like when he was in the academy, he is not the kind of unreasonable person, although he is younger, but he is a person who can do great things." ”

Su Yuan listened to Gu Yue's words, and a trace of wavering flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, a small servant hurriedly ran outside the door, "Mr. Gu, Mr. Su...... The King of Darkness has arrived! ”

Gu Yue and Su Yuan were stunned at the same time, and then the two of them ran out of the door at the same time.

As a result, the door was too narrow, and both of them were crowded in the middle of the door, unable to get out or enter.

Gu Yue couldn't help but laugh.

Su Yuan took a step back hatefully and let Gu Yue go out first.

When the two of them arrived outside the inn, the convoy of the King of Darkness had just stopped.

Yu Miaomiao jumped out of the carriage with the support of Ming Ruyan.

"Oh my God, my waist is about to break." Yu Miao pounded her lower back.

The road was bumpy, almost shaking her in half.

Since they left the village, Wei Jiuxiao ordered the team to speed up, and for several days, they did not even live in the post station, and they traveled day and night.

Yu Miaomiao was beating her lower back, when she suddenly felt a big hand fall on her body, rubbing it hard.

"Ahhh......h Tap tap ......" Yu Miaomiao's expression is called an ecstasy, "Yes, yes, that's it, tap ...... again"

Everyone around looked sideways.

Wei Jiuxiao rubbed her back for Yu Miaomiao expressionlessly.

"You go and rest first, this king still has something to discuss with Mr. Gu and them."

Yu Miaomiao pretended to be obedient and nodded, "You have to come back early, I'll wait for you." ”

Everyone felt that their teeth were sore.

Wei Jiuxiao bowed her head seriously, and even answered her.

Yu Miaomiao smiled and stood on tiptoe, wanting to give him a French kiss.

How can Wei Jiuxiao's height ...... She could only kiss him on the chin.

But even so, Wei Jiuxiao was still very satisfied, touched her head, and asked Ming Ruyan to take her into the post station to rest first.

The best rooms in the post station were all chartered by Su Yuan and Gu Yue, and the room environment was good.

Yu Miaomiao took a bath happily, lying lazily in the bathtub and didn't want to come out.

Just as she was resting her head on the bucket and wanted to take a nap, she heard a woman's shrill voice outside.

"Get out of the way!"

Yu Miaomiao listened carefully.

"Who are you?" Jing Yijing's voice rang out.

"Who are you?" The strange woman's voice sounded extremely haughty.

Yu Miaomiao quickly got up from the water, took clean clothes and put them on her body, and then walked out of the clean room.

At the door of the room, Jing Yijing stopped there.

There were two women standing outside the door, looking very old, one was dressed as a young lady, and the other was a maid, staring at Jing Yijing angrily.

"We're here to find Painter Su, who are you?"

"Mr. Su doesn't live here." Jing Yijing said lightly.

When Yu Miaomiao walked out, the two people outside the door were stunned, and their eyes fell on the loose neckline.

Yu Miaomiao casually draped her robe, and only one belt was tied, revealing the graceful arc of her collarbone.

The two of them looked outside the door, and their eyes were straight.

"Who are they looking for?" Yu Miaomiao asked casually, Jing Yijing.

"It's looking for Mr. Su." Jing Yijing replied.

"Oh." Anyway, as long as it's not here to find Wei Jiuxiao.

Yu Miaomiao yawned, turned around and went to the inner room, "I'll go take a nap, Mr. Su, you can wake me up after they finish talking." ”

She still wants to wait for dinner with Ghost Paws.

"Stop!" The woman outside the door suddenly shouted angrily, "You...... Who the hell are you, how dare you seduce Su Painter...... Believe it or not, I'll throw you out! ”

In another room of the post station, Wei Jiuxiao and the others were all sitting.

Gu Yue told everything that had happened since they arrived in Yunzhou, along with the fact that those officials passed the buck to each other and cut work.

Wei Jiuxiao's left hand of the Xuantie armor rhythmically tapped the table.

"Another banquet lately?" Wei Jiuxiao asked.

"Yes." Gu Yue looked at Su Yuan, "It's the banquet of the Qiu Mansion, and this month is already the fourth time." ”

Wei Jiuxiao raised her eyebrows imperceptibly.

There were four banquets in a month, which can be called quite courteous.

"Qiu Mansion wants to win you over?" Wei Jiuxiao asked.

Gu Yue hugged his shoulders, "This place in Yunzhou is not as good as the imperial city, the local officials colluded, we have the silver approved by the Ministry of Industry but we can't buy good stones, and even the craftsmen who repair the tower can't get together." ”

Wei Jiuxiao snorted coldly.

There is a way that a strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, and everyone knows this kind of thing.

"Lord Wang!" A guard outside the door hurried over, "Lord Wang, it's not good." ”

Everyone looked out of the door, only to see a guard enter the road, "Miss Qiu from the Qiu Mansion came to look for Su Painter, but somehow went to the wrong door, entered the princess's house, and fought with the princess." ”

Wei Jiuxiao's eyes were cold, and he shot straight at Su Yuan.

Su Yuan frowned in annoyance.

Gu Yue was the first to speak: "Let's go and see the princess first, Miss Qiu is a difficult person, don't let her hurt the princess." ”

The three of them came out of the house.

From afar, I heard the sound of a loud and loud voice, and in the midst of a woman's crying.

Gu Yue and Su Yuan couldn't help but speed up their pace.

The King of Darkness is not in a hurry to leave.

When I came to the accident site, I saw Miss Qiu's maid's eyes were red, crying and standing in place.

Jing Yijing stood there with a door bolt in her hand, and when the maid dared to take a step, the door bolt fell and hit her.

Miss Qiu was hung upside down on the clothesline at the entrance of the post station, Yu Miaomiao crossed her waist, and she was still holding half of the rope in her hand, and one end of the rope was tied to Miss Qiu's leg.

"You...... You let my young lady go......" the maid cried, but she didn't dare to step forward.

Yu Miaomiao shook half of the rope in her hand, "I really haven't seen you like this, come to the door and take the initiative to perform the show, you are too enthusiastic, I will reward you after the performance in a while, don't thank me." ”

The maid cried loudly, "Miss! ”

Miss Qiu, who was hanging upside down on the rope, was frightened, and she only cared about screaming, and she didn't care about anything else.

Yu Miao suddenly relaxed the rope in her hand, Miss Qiu screamed, and her big head rushed down and fell.

However, at the moment when she was about to land, Yu Miaomiao tightened the rope again and hung her back.

"Isn't it exciting?" Yu Miaomiao smiled and asked Miss Qiu who was hanging from the rope, "Do you like it?" ”

Miss Qiu nodded at first, and then shook her head desperately, "You, do you know who I am?" ”

Yu Miaomiao relaxed the rope in her hand again, and tossed Miss Qiu again, "I don't care who you are, anyway, you took the initiative to show me, it's a pity, there is no camera, otherwise it must be wonderful to take pictures of you...... By the way, it's better to ask Su painter to paint it for you. ”

Hearing the name of Su Painter, Miss Qiu couldn't hold back anymore and broke down and cried loudly.

Gu Yue and Su Yuan rushed over and stood there stunned at the scene in front of them.

"Miss Qiu, what are you doing?" Gu Yue touched his nose.

Su Yuan softened his voice, "You don't care what she does, hurry up and put her down." ”

"Xiao Susu is distressed?" Gu Yue asked playfully.

Su Yuan glared at him fiercely, "I'm afraid that the princess will get into trouble." ”

When Miss Qiu saw Su Yuan coming, she covered her face and didn't dare to see anyone.

"Princess, Miss Qiu may have recognized the wrong person, please let her down." Gu Yue also stepped forward to intercede.

"Recognize the wrong person?" Yu Miaomiao didn't speak so well, "She treats me as Mr. Su...... Tsk, what's that supposed to be called? That's right, it's a concubine! It seems that Mr. Su usually brings women to the post station. ”

Su Yuan's face turned blue all of a sudden.

Gu Yue felt that Su Yuan was annoyed, he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and he was uncomfortable.

"Lord Wang, Miss Yu is talking nonsense like this, don't you care?" Su Yuan looked at Wei Jiuxiao with a dark face.

Yu Miaomiao didn't care if Su Yuansheng was angry or not, he almost tossed her to death when he painted fish, and she still remembers this.

Wei Jiuxiao stood there with a full hand and watched the excitement.

Ming Ruyan on the side said with a smile, "She is not a girl, but our princess." ”

Su Yuan's face deteriorated, "Isn't the prince still married?" ”

"The big wedding is just a formality, and the old general has already allowed this marriage." Ming Ruyan smiled, and the implication was that Yu Miaomiao's identity was already a sure thing.

"Or ...... Let the princess play again? Gu Yue proposed.

Miss Qiu, who was hanging upside down, was scared silly.

Even her maid stared at them blankly.

These people ...... Is it still human talk!

In the end, Wei Jiuxiao finally opened her mouth, and Yu Miaomiao withdrew her hand stupidly and put Miss Qiu down.

"Really, delaying my sleep." Yu Miaomiao snorted, "Oh, I'll give it back to Mr. Su, you have to watch your women in the future, don't let them run away jealously." ”

Su Yuanqi's face turned white.

Seeing that this situation was not good, Gu Yue hurriedly explained, "This Miss Qiu has nothing to do with Mr. Su. ”

Yu Miaomiao didn't care when she heard it, "Anyway, don't let her bother me in the future, I don't plan to marry Mr. Su, don't come and treat me as a junior." ”

This last sentence made Wei Jiuxiao a little unhappy, he first let Yu Miaomiao go back to the house, and then turned to Su Yuan and said, "Don't take it as an example." ”

Su Yuan was angry, and he couldn't explain it.

Gu Yue smiled and sent someone to get Miss Qiu into the house, simply freshened up, and then sent someone to send her back to the house.

"I ...... I'm here to find a painter of Su. "Miss Qiu obviously doesn't want to leave like this," Painter Su promised to give me a painting at the banquet last time......

Gu Yue looked at Su Yuan, "It's all your own trouble, you can do it." ”

Su Yuan pursed his lips tightly, and suddenly turned around and ran out of the room.

After a while, he rushed back again, bringing drawing paper, pen and ink.

In front of Gu Yue and Miss Qiu, he spread out the paper painting, splashed ink and drew a picture of a beauty.

Miss Qiu looked stunned, her face was slightly red, "Thank you, Painter Su." ”

Su Yuan didn't look at her, and left without looking back.

Gu Yue had no choice but to personally come forward to send Miss Qiu out of the station.

Autumn House.

Miss Qiu returned to the mansion, and before she even had time to change her clothes, she called the housekeeper first.

"Where is my father now?"

"I'm talking to the magistrate of Yunzhou in the front yard." Stewardship.

Miss Qiu took Su Yuan's painting to the front yard.

Master Qiu was drinking tea with the magistrate of Yunzhou, and the two talked about King You's entry into the city.

"King Youyou entered the city today without notifying anyone, and even the official did not receive any news." The magistrate groaned, "I'm afraid he wants to investigate the situation in Yunzhou first." ”

Master Qiu smiled slightly, "Lord Zhixian don't have to worry, no matter how powerful the King of Youyou is, he is just relying on the name of his ghost hand, but his name is not good for us, what if he is stained by ghosts, our soul master here is not as useless as in the palace." ”

The magistrate also laughed, "That's what you said...... Even if they are ordered by the emperor, we have to be honest here in Yunzhou, even if he is a strong dragon, he has to keep his head down for me here. ”

"If the King of Darkness asks about the stone......"

"The official has his own way."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

At this time, a subordinate from the house came in and said, "Master, the young lady asks to see me." ”

Master Qiu was stunned.

Seeing this, the magistrate of Yunzhou got up and said, "Since there is something in the house, the official will leave first." ”

Master Qiu personally sent the magistrate to the door.

Miss Qiu happened to come in and saluted the magistrate.

"I heard that you went to the post station again today to find the painter?" Master Qiu asked.

"Yes." Miss Qiu blushed slightly, and put the painting in her hand on the table, "Father, please look at this." ”

The picture scroll unfolded, and Master Qiu's eyes lit up.

"The Su painter really deserves to be a member of the Su family, the Su clan has only served the royal family in all dynasties, and it is even more difficult for ordinary people to get a painting."

"Yes...... But Su finally helped his daughter paint one, and the father and daughter were pleased with him and begged her father to fulfill it. ”

Master Qiu didn't get angry when he heard this, and he didn't have any surprised expression, he stared at the painting and groaned.

The Su clan's skills are extremely mysterious, and they are also quite famous in the Feng Kingdom.

In addition to painting, the Su clan is also good at making incense, and the secret art in their clan has never been passed on, the empty painting shaft made by the Su painter can seal ghosts, even ordinary people without mana can also use the empty painting shaft to seal ghosts.

Such an unusual person, if he can marry his daughter to him, what will the Qiu clan have to fear in Yunzhou in the future.

"Father." Miss Qiu called him urgently.

Master Qiu smiled, "It's really a big girl." ”

"Father......" Miss Qiu showed a shy expression.

"Since you have taken a fancy to Master Su, then my father will send someone to propose marriage for you."

"Thank you, father." Miss Qiu said happily.

Miss Qiu was happy here, but on the post station, the painter Su Yuan was sad.

"Qiufu has come to propose, and it seems that Xiao Susu is going to have another side room lady again." Gu Yue joked.

Su Yuan glared at him fiercely, "Where did the lady of the side room come from?" ”

"The little princess is naturally your main lady, this Miss Qiu...... Naturally, it's a side room. ”

"That's right, maybe there will be a concubine coming to the door soon." Yu Miaomiao didn't know when she entered the door.

Su Yuan's depressed face was gloomy.

"Isn't Painter Su going to meet the people of Qiufu?" Yu Miaomiao asked.

Su Yuan frowned and was silent.

"The people of the Autumn Mansion are gone?" Gu Yue asked.

Yu Miaomiao shook her head, "I'm still discussing with the prince about the marriage of Painter Su." ”

Su Yuan was anxious, "I didn't agree to this marriage." ”

Yu Miaomiao raised her eyebrows, "You didn't make it clear to Wei Jiuxiao, I thought that Painter Su refused to see people because he was shy." ”

Su Yuan irritably tore up the unfinished drawing paper in his hand and threw it into the paper basket.

Gu Yue glanced at the paper basket, it had already been full, and the paper ball fell to the ground.

"You really don't want to marry the young lady of the Autumn Mansion? I think she's quite infatuated. "If you don't fall into the well at this time, it won't be Yu Miaomiao.

"Don't even think about it." Su Yuan said angrily.

"Hey, it's really troublesome to have such a little white face." Yu Miaomiao sighed, "I'm still afraid that the people of Qiu Mansion will take a fancy to Wei Jiuxiao." ”

Seeing Su Yuan's face getting darker and darker, Gu Yue stood up, "Forget it, Xiao Su Su is not the best at dealing with this kind of thing, so I'll go." ”

Su Yuan was a little surprised, as if he wanted to say something, but Gu Yue had already gotten up and went out.

The marriage in Qiufu was rejected, but there was no intention of giving up.

A few days later, at the Qiufu banquet, Master Qiu warmly greeted Gu Yue and Su Yuan.

Wei Jiuxiao did not show up, because he did not disclose the news of his arrival in Yunzhou, so the Yunzhou government also pretended not to know.

Wei Jiuxiao didn't go to the banquet, and Yu Miaomiao could only stay at the post station honestly, and she was about to grow mushrooms.

"I knew that I would have followed Gu Yue and them to the banquet." Yu Miaomiao muttered dissatisfiedly.

Ming Ruyan glanced at her silently.

How could the prince let her follow others to the banquet, without the presence of their prince, their princess is afraid that she can even lift the roof of someone else's house.

In the evening, Gu Yue and the others returned to the post station.

Yu Miaomiao saw Su Yuan's hurried expression from the window, and went directly to the post station, while Gu Yue came directly to Wei Jiuxiao and briefly told him what happened during today's banquet.

Wei Jiuxiao didn't shy away from her when she talked to Gu Yue, and she could roughly understand Wei Jiuxiao's current situation.

The officials of Yunzhou City protect each other, and the prestige of the King of Youyou does not play a deterrent role here, and the people here are not as afraid of ghosts as elsewhere.

"The soul masters here are all powerful, right?" Yu Miaomiao interjected.

"It's different from other places." Gu Yue said seriously, "Even ordinary people have some ways to avoid ghosts. ”

"Why didn't Painter Su come over, he didn't seem to be in a good mood." Yu Miaomiao remembered the scene she saw in the window, "Qiu Mansion won't embarrass him because he refuses to marry, right?" ”

Gu Yue choked for a moment.

Wei Jiuxiao raised her eyes and glanced at him, "What happened?" ”

Gu Yue was puzzled, "Actually, it's not a big deal, the young lady of Qiufu still wants to marry...... So ......"

Halfway through his words, Gu Yue stopped.

Wei Jiuxiao didn't seem to know why, but Yu Miaomiao's eyes lit up.

"So Miss Qiu is strong?"

Wei Jiuxiao froze.

The stupid fish's expression has always been direct, but it still makes his heart suffer an inexplicable blow.

Gu Yue sighed, "Miss Qiu's method is not clever, she took advantage of Su Yuan's solitude to go to a private meeting, and secretly sent a maid to keep an eye on him, if I hadn't sent someone to keep an eye on him, he wouldn't have been able to come back today." ”

Yu Miao smacked her lips vigorously.

The folk customs here in Yunzhou City are really strong enough, and they are strong directly.

Is this the rhythm of robbing the people?

Wei Jiuxiao frowned, "Recently, Mr. Su has rarely been allowed to show up, and the king of Japan will go to the county mansion first." ”

With him here, there was no need for Su Yuan and them, so it was better to let him stay at the post station honestly than to show up and cause trouble.

Wei Jiuxiao made a high-profile appearance on the second day and met with officials of Yunzhou City, but he did not mention the construction of the Feng Pagoda, and even the purchase of stone was shelved by him.

It's the end of the year in a blink of an eye.

Ming Ruyan ordered someone to arrange the post station early.

The guards also changed into new clothes.

Yu Miaomiao looked at the crowd coming and going on the street, because Wei Jiuxiao was busy with official business, so she didn't dare to sneak out to play by herself.

There was a thick pile of official documents on the table, almost burying Wei Jiuxiao.

When he inadvertently looked up and saw the expression on Yu Miaomiao's face, his eyes darkened.

"What are you looking at?" He put down the official document in his hand.

"Look at the scene, it's the first time I've celebrated the New Year here." Yu Miaomiao made a pun.

This is the first time she has spent the New Year in this world.

Wei Jiuxiao misunderstood.

Because she has always been a carp before, in the thousand-year-old cold pool, let alone the New Year, she can't even see a figure.

Wei Jiuxiao put down the pen and reached out to wrap his hand around her shoulder, "Do you want to go for a walk on the street?" ”

Yu Miaomiao was very surprised, did her ears hear it wrong, Wei Jiuxiao actually took the initiative to ask her.
