Chapter Seventy-One: Exchange
"Don't mention that blind man, lady, I get angry when I mention him. I went to see him the other day. But the blind man has already cheated ten taels of silver, and the female ghost still comes every night. Otherwise, how could Xiaosheng be willing to come to the lady's place. Xiao Sheng knew that the lady was superb, otherwise there would not be so many people coming to the door to ask the lady to do something. However, you can't look at Xiaosheng as a poor scholar, just such a philistine, and don't give Xiaosheng a way to live. Yanagi said with a blushing face.
"It's not that I'm a philistine in our city, and it's not that I don't give Liu Gongzi a way to live. When I came to Bianjing to tell fortunes and divination, there must always be certain rules. Why does Liu Gongzi think that I will break my rules by helping you?" duckweed retracted his smile and asked half-seriously.
When Liu Sheng saw the duckweed say this, his white face was a little red, so he had to argue hard: "Since the lady said that she is from Kunlun Mountain, she must be a cultivator or an immortal cultivator." Even if you want to cultivate those things that are immortal, it will definitely be beneficial to do more good deeds. I think that the lady lives in this Yuelai Inn every day, and I am afraid that there are few opportunities to do good deeds.
Don't hide it from the lady, Xiaosheng has been studying for 20 years, and he is waiting for this dynasty to be famous. Although the lady can rest assured, as long as I get the fame next year, let alone fifty taels of gold, even if it is five hundred taels or one thousand taels, Xiaosheng will never shirk it, and will definitely send it to the lady.
It's just that now, if the lady has to let Xiaosheng take so much money out, won't she take Xiaosheng's life?"
Duckweed rubbed her brows, thought about it, and looked at the good-looking scholar in front of her, and some anger really swelled up in her heart.
Although this scholar is delicate, he is indeed a sanctimonious and timid man.
"Since Liu Gongzi is unwilling to pay fifty taels of gold, let's pay something else. Duckweed's expression was flat, and his tone was still gentle.
As soon as Liu Sheng heard this, he knew that there was room for maneuver, so he hurriedly grabbed duckweed's hand and said categorically: "The lady is willing to help me? The lady can rest assured, as long as the lady is willing to wait for the student this year, and when the student has obtained fame, the lady will have as much gold as she wants. ”
Duckweed looked at the hand holding her, as if she had seen something interesting, her anger had subsided, and she said with a smile: "But, if Liu Gongzi can't get famous, who should I ask for this account?"
Liu Sheng also realized that it was really rude for him to hold the hand of the flower-like lady in front of him, and for a while, his face turned red with shame. But as soon as he heard the words "can't pass the fame", Liu Sheng seemed to be very angry, and the blush turned into an angry red again, and he hurriedly said: "How can Xiaosheng fail to pass the fame test, but all the masters who have taught Xiaosheng say that Xiaosheng is brilliant, and he will climb the Fengtai Pavilion in the future." The lady is a person in the fairy road, and this kind of thing can't be said nonsense. ”
Duckweed covered her lips and smiled: "Don't be angry, Liu Gongzi, I'm just making a joke at random." Don't worry, I don't ask for Childe's gold, what I want is in Liu Gongzi's house. If Liu Gongzi is willing, I will help Gongzi this time, as an exchange. ”
"Exchange?" Liu Sheng asked suspiciously, after putting away the portrait of the woman handed over by Xiaowa.
Duckweed nodded, took a sip of a somewhat cold tea, and said seriously, "That's right." It's an exchange, I'll dispel the evil spirits in the room for you, and Liu Gongzi agrees that I will take one thing from your house. ”
Yanagi still seemed to hesitate, but after carefully turning his eyes and thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing of value in the room. It doesn't look like it's a loss. He pretended to think about it seriously, but it was only the time for a cup of tea, and he nodded so that he was embarrassed to agree.
After Liu Sheng left, Xiaowa shook duckweed's hand and said, "Sister, I always feel that this scholar is not a good person, why do you agree to help him." ”
Duckweed smiled, touched the baby's head, and sighed, "I didn't help him, it's just an exchange." Originally, this was a good thing for him, but he was so cowardly, I had to follow his wishes. Besides, he's not a bad person. It's just that someone has seen the wrong person, this scholar is just a vulgar person. ”
Xiaowa was confused, but seeing that a new guest had come in, she didn't insist on asking.
Night, autumn, Bianjing.
The Xuanniao stretched his waist, let out a phoenix chirp, turned into a huge white bird, turned to the duckweed and said, "Master, come up." The scholar's home is too far from the inn, how about we fly there?"
"It's fine. Duckweed knew that the Xuanniao had not flown for a long time, and felt a little aggrieved, so she did not refuse, pulled the little baby, rode on the back of the Xuanniao, and sighed, "It's also embarrassing for that scholar to go so far." ”
The bird roared and flew into the depths of the clouds, and the people in the street could no longer be seen from above. Xuanniao said half angrily: "That scholar doesn't seem to be a good person, but he actually holds the master's hand vigorously. I think if he saw the appearance of a female ghost, he probably wouldn't be able to bear to come to us. ”
Duckweed smiled: "Don't be angry, that scholar is just afraid of death." Besides, if he hadn't suddenly grabbed my hand, I wouldn't have known there was such a thing in this world. ”
While speaking, a person, an immortal, and a demon have arrived in a very crowded residential area.
"Sister, there are so many rooms here, so many small rooms, I'm afraid they all live in the reader. But we don't know which one is today's scholar, what should we do?" asked Xiaowa, frowning and a little worried.
Duckweed touched the little baby's head and smiled: "Don't worry. Let's not go in yet, let's go to the roof and bask in the moon. It's almost fifteen, and basking in the moon now is very much more conducive to cultivation. ”
"Ah, not going in?" asked the little baby suspiciously.
Before she could react, she was already on a roof, duckweed sat down, looked up at her and smiled: "Come, sit for a while, and we'll see the good show later." ”
The little baby had to lie on the roof like duckweed and Xuanniao, looking at the moon in the sky that was about to turn round with only a little bit, and was very stunned.
These days, she has watched many good shows, but they are not satisfactory.
How can this worldly thing be like a book, asking for a flower and a full moon? If it wasn't for her sister who saved her, what kind of situation would she live in now?
"Knock knock...... Knock knock......" With one knock after another, all three of them retracted their thoughts and began to tense.
"It's coming. Duckweed whispered.
The little baby heard the sound and looked at the other side of the roof where they were sitting.
A woman dressed in red was knocking on the door again and again. No, it wasn't just a red dress, it was supposed to be a wedding dress to be exact.
