In the evening, Ah Rou returned to her boudoir after dinner, and was about to paste a layer of painted rice paper on the lantern shelf that the man had made during the day. The dim candlelight reflected her face.

As soon as she sat down, she saw the white fox walking towards her from the corner of the boudoir.

She squatted in front of Jing Xin and said, "Why are you here again?" ”

Jing Xin nodded, rolled in front of her, and licked her palm again.

Arou touched its head again, found some food in the room and put it in a bowl, put it in front of Jing Xin, and got up and sat down at the table to do her own thing.

Jing Xin didn't care, ate a little, walked around her room, familiarized herself with the environment, walked to Ah Rou's side, lay down beside her, and looked at her quietly.

Arou is really a sensible girl, Uncle Zhang pulled her up alone, and she often helped her father do what she could, often helping to draw some fans and lanterns, and also embroidering some sachets, handkerchiefs and the like to sell in the grocery store. Arou has studied women's education for a few years, knows some words, and is smart and beautiful, and will also help Uncle Zhang look at the account book and come up with some ideas. Over the years, father and daughter have supported each other, and the relationship has been good.

After finishing the paste, she picked up the cut fan on the side, thought about it, and drew a big tree on it, under which cats and dogs were playing, and two children were flying kites. After painting, it is glued to the fan bone, and it becomes an excellent folding fan.

About the time it was time, Uncle Zhang knocked on the door outside and said, "Arou! Go to bed early and don't get too busy. ”

Ah Rou also hurriedly put down the objects in her hand and replied, "Got it, Dad!" You also go to bed early. ”

After seeing the person leave, she drew another picture on another fan before she got up, and Jing Xin next to her also raised her head to look at her.

She looked at Jing Xin and said, "Are you going to follow me all the time?" Jing Xin nodded.

What an aura, Arou was surprised: "You can actually understand me!" Jing Xin nodded again. She hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll give you a name!" It's called ......" She looked at Jingxin's snow-white fur and said, "It's called Baiyu!" What do you say? ”

Seeing that Jing Xin didn't object, she took it as if it acquiesced.

The next day, Arou woke up early in the morning, only to find that Jingxin was missing.

The night before, Jing Xin had slept next to her bed.

"White jade! White jade! She got out of bed and called in a low voice, but no one answered her.

was disappointed, but when she turned around, she saw Jingxin crawling out from under her bed, looking full of energy. Looking at the rest of last night's food, it has already been eaten.

Arou laughed, walked up to it, picked it up, held it up to herself, and said with a smile: "I'm up, you can play here by yourself." With that, he went out, and when he closed the door, he did not forget to leave a crack in it.

When I walked outside, the sun had already risen, there was not a trace of clouds in the sky, and it was a little warmer than yesterday.

After Arou finished washing, it was still early. Because today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, business must be busy during the day, and while there are still few customers, she walked up to Uncle Zhang, thinking about how to tell him that she wants to raise a dog.

"Dad, yesterday I saw a very cute and cute dog." Because Uncle Zhang doesn't like to have animals at home, Arou decided not to reveal that she had a dog first, and to explore her father's mouth first.

"So what?" Uncle Zhang continued to be busy with the things in his hands, and said casually, "Xiao Wu also saw a fox yesterday!" ”

Xiao Wu was working on the side, and when he heard them talking, he also interjected, saying, "Master, I did see the fox yesterday, but it didn't disappear without Dao." ”

"Why is it gone? Didn't you see it in the kitchen? Uncle Zhang said angrily, "Maybe you are mistaken, it is actually a big mouse." With that, he went out and got busy.

Hearing this, although there was still some confusion, Ah Rou had already thought of something clear, and she didn't have the heart to say it anymore. I just thought to myself, could it be that Bai Yu is the fox that Xiao Wu saw yesterday? Is it really a fox and not a dog? Thinking back to its appearance and fluffy tail, I thought to myself why I didn't see it as a fox yesterday.

Just thinking about it, Ah Rou returned to the room and wanted to take a good look at the white jade, but found that it was gone, maybe she went out to play, and she didn't pay attention to it.

It's just that she still had some doubts in her heart, so she walked out and saw Xiao Wu working on the side, so she walked over, raised her eyebrows, and asked with a very curious look: "Xiao Wu, when did you see the fox yesterday." ”

Where has Xiao Wu seen this posture, and said hesitantly: "Yesterday, yesterday afternoon, before the young lady came back." ”

Arou asked again, "How did you see that?" Tell me what happened. ”

"I—I just heard a noise in the kitchen, and thought there was chicken soup stewed for the young lady, so I went in and looked, and then I saw a fox with five tails, and I—I called the master over, and then the fox was gone."

It's gone...... Ah Rou thought about something, and asked, "Five tails?" ”

Xiao Wu replied: "Well, I, I can see clearly, it is five tails." ”

Ah Rou put on a serious expression and said, "You can't talk nonsense, the one with five tails is a fox demon!" Thinking that Xiao Wu was the most honest on weekdays and couldn't talk nonsense, he asked, "Then you tell your father, does that fox have five tails?" ”

"No, no, because the fox is gone, and the master didn't ask again, so I didn't say."

After Ah Rou heard this, she nodded thoughtfully, and let Xiao Wu go to work on the side.

The streets are full of people, because it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, many people take advantage of the bright weather to rush out to go out and pray for blessings. On the street, there are women dressed in gorgeous costumes, girls in narrow clothes and bright smiles, all of whom walk generously on the street to welcome the arrival of the festival.

After leaving Zhang's grocery store, Jing Xin continued to pretend to be a dog and walked into an alley around the corner.

After a while, a girl with a lily bun and a small yellow and white flower walked out, she was wearing a full-breasted skirt with a yellow gradient at the top and white at the bottom, and a yellow tie. Look at her watery almond eyes, faint willow eyebrows, and a smile are all picturesque.

The scholars and sons who passed by couldn't take their eyes off her when they saw her, even if it was a young girl, they couldn't help but breathe when they saw her, and the handkerchief in their hands fell to the ground, but they didn't know it.

Jing Xin didn't seem to care, and walked to the tavern on the side of the road. The eldest brother used to bring her wine when he went down the mountain, but she never drank in the tavern.

The moment she walked in, the dim space in the tavern seemed to have a touch of brightness because of her, and the whole tavern fell silent for a moment.

Most of the men in the tavern were men, and when they suddenly saw such a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl coming in, their eyes lit up.
