Chapter 67: Without a Trace

Everyone came out of the Sumeru mustard seeds, and Sikong was already waiting. More than ten years have passed inside, and the outside world is only a cup of tea.

Zhang and Zhan looked at each other with Sikong Yuan, they naturally knew his identity after seeing his previous life, but how could he be in the Paradise Pavilion later?

I saw Sikong Yuan smiling at them, more than three hundred years have passed, his appearance has not changed, and his gentle temperament has become more and more calm, and he is no longer the household servant who directs the country in the teahouse and the court, but the chief manager of the Paradise Pavilion.

Long Xinze: "I've finished reading everything I should see, it's almost time to go back." He glanced at Zhang Qining with a dull look, "Go back and stay, and I'll pull it out for you when I get the things." ”

Pick up something?

Hongfei chuckled lightly on the side, propping her head on top of Sikong Yuan's head, and Long Xinze's aggrieved seemed to make her particularly happy. Zhang Qining thought to herself: "No wonder when this demon Dao said that she wanted to use Sumeru mustard seeds to pull out the mustard seeds for herself, her eyes were so strange. It turned out that he had known that thing was useless for a long time, and he had taken away the dragon qi on Lin Zhao's body. ”

Sure enough, he is a profiteer through and through.

"What's wrong?" Zhan Sui Yu asked.

Zhang Qining shook his head.

They came with their own thoughts, and they didn't even bother to see what was in this ghost market. It's quite interesting to go out and see it now, especially a rouge alley they passed by.

Zhang Qining first smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, and looked over with some curiosity. Long Xinze was a little wilted when he first came out, but after a while, he seemed to return to normal, and nothing happened. Following Zhang Qining's gaze, he said, "Rouge Hutong." The whole alley is made of rouge to sell. ”

"All of them?" Huo Bai couldn't help but be a little curious. He looked at Shen Zhizhou, she never cared about dressing up in the years she was looking for him, three hundred years ago, his Zhizhou was very beautiful, although it is now. He couldn't help asking: "Why don't you see the stalls, how should this business be done?" ”

"The doors are open, and the goods are inside." Long Xinze raised his chin, "If you want to see it, go and see it." ”

When he said this, Zhang Qining pulled Zhan Sui Yu and walked over first. Huo Bai lowered his eyes to inquire about Shen Zhizhou's meaning, and saw that he was pitiful, with an expression of "go, go, I want to buy it for you", Shen Zhizhou was defeated.

Zhang Qining followed the sweet fragrance that attracted him, and finally stopped in front of a courtyard, pulled Zhan Suiyu and knocked on the open door and walked in.

The patio is not big, and there is an old persimmon tree with a crooked neck not far from the window on the right, and the branches stretch out to the courtyard on the left, covering the upper part of the patio. Under the tree, the old woman with a large head and a small body was lying on the wicker chair with a pu fan, and when she saw someone coming, she got up, and slowly climbed down from the wicker chair. She was extremely short, and when she stood in front of Zhang Qining, she had just reached a little above her knees.

Zhang Qining squatted down and said with a smile: "Mother-in-law, we want to buy rouge." ”

The old woman looked around her face, the flesh on her cheeks was loose and drooping, and she looked fierce at the corners of her mouth, and said, "Is there any money?" ”

"Sikong Yuan said that our expenses today are all on the head of the Pavilion of Bliss."

The old woman nodded, "See for yourself what you want." ”

"Okay."

Zhan Suiyu looked around, there were many lattice shelves in the patio, and boxes of rouge were placed on them, and the back of the lattice shelves was full of materials and tools for making rouge. Something was still bubbling on the stove behind this, and there was a faint scent of flowers in the air.

Zhang Qining sniffed, looked for something, and followed the smell. Zhan Sui Yu looked around casually, he picked up the red carved rouge box and opened it to take a look, "Mother-in-law, can you try it?" Of course I didn't try, I wanted to give it to her. ”

The old woman snorted, "Yes, but be careful." The rouge in the ghost market is not only good-looking, but also fun, and the effect of applying it to the lips is different from ordinary rouge. ”

"What's different?"

"It's like making people duplicitous, saying sweet words, speaking ill words to people, turning loved ones into rats... Young man, you are really good at picking, the box you are holding in your hand is smeared and you can't let go without kissing for half an hour. Hehe..."The old lady suddenly smiled ambiguously, looked at him and then at Zhang Qining, with an expression of "I understand, I understand".

Zhan Suiyu suddenly felt that the rouge in his hand was a little hot, and after covering it, he coughed lightly and put it back in place.

"Found it, that's the smell!" Zhang Qining suddenly ran behind him with a box of rouge and patted him, "Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao, you smell it." ”

"What?" Zhan Suiyu leaned over and sniffed the box of rouge with her hand. It smells sweet and good, making people's bodies soft as if falling into the clouds, and some of them are up, and they can't help but want to smile when they look at the people in front of them.

"Mother-in-law, I want this."

The man opened one eye, looked at Zhan Suiyu, covered his mouth and laughed. "You want this? You two are really a natural pair~"

Because of the words "can't let go if you don't kiss for half an hour" just now, she is now saying that Zhan Suiyu's whole person is not good, what did Qi Ning take? It can't be the same as that, right?

"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with this?" Zhang Qining tilted his head and asked.

"Ho ho ho, nothing bad. Little girl, there's a mirror, you go try it. The old woman shook the pu fan, and a trace of light crossed her eyes, and she looked at Zhan Suiyu's smile more and more.

"Wait!"

What sweet words, don't kiss for half an hour and don't let go... This old woman is too improper. Zhan Suiyu grabbed Zhang Qining, and it was better to stop it. "Qi Ning, do you really like this? Why? ”

"I love the smell, I just smelled it."

Zhang Qining laughed, a pair of cute dimples spun out of his cheeks, and his deep eyes seemed to be full of stars, and just one glance made people willing to indulge in them. The eyes suddenly showed a little doubt, moist as a simple and innocent deer, blinking a little lost, as if asking: "Can't you..."

"Any questions?"

Zhan Sui Yu let go and covered his face. Qi Ning was so happy, it was just a box of rouge - he was really embarrassed to distract her.

"No, no. I just wanted to say... You pick slowly, you can buy a few more boxes. ”

The old woman smiled heartily, a young offspring.

Zhang Qining went to try on makeup, and only she and Zhan Suiyu were left here.

"Young man."

Zhan Sui Yu looked at her.

"Don't be nervous, the old woman is just a rouge, just for fun, and she can't hurt your sweetheart. Andβ€”" She covered half of her face with a fan, and her eyes narrowed into a slit with a smile, "Trust me, old woman, you will get a benefit from it." After saying that, he turned his face mysteriously and snickered - in fact, there was no need for this at all.

Because of her strange words and deeds, Zhan Suiyu was noncommittal, smiled politely at her, and turned around to be more careful.

But when Zhang Qining tried on makeup, nothing wrong happened, and it seemed that she was very satisfied with the color and texture of the rouge. When they left the courtyard, the old woman called out to her unhurriedly.

"Little girl."

"What's the matter?"

"Mortals may be a little tired when they come to the ghost market to go out, go home and rest early."

Although he didn't know the reason, Zhang Qining still nodded.

Huo Bai and Shen Zhizhou on the other side were also ready, Long Xinze, who was alone, looked left to see if it was a pair, and looked right to see if it was still a pair, he was caught between them, thinking that it was better to leave early, he was too much of an eyesore.

"I've bought it, I've bought it, now I can go." With that, he swept the dust, and in a blink of an eye, they were back on the street. There was no one around because of their sudden appearance, as if they were there.

Zhang Qining suddenly fell asleep, and he longed for a bed in front of him. She pulled Zhan Sui Yu and said, "Sleepy..."

Zhan Sui Yu thought of the old woman's words, and made an appointment with Long Xin Zeyue for Qi Ning in two days, and he would come to them then.

Before leaving, he specially confirmed with Long Xinze whether people would feel tired when they came back from the ghost market. Long Xinze said that this varies from person to person, after all, shuttling between the two worlds of yin and yang, it is not normal to be tired.

Zhang Qining entered Zhang's Mansion and yawned all the way back to his room. The things in her room had already been packed, and she gave up completely before she reached the courtyard, closing her eyes and leaning on Zhan Suiyu. "No more... Drag me through, ha-"

Halfway through the sentence, he yawned again.

"Are you really so sleepy?"

β€œβ€¦ Hmmm..."She didn't even want to speak, closed her eyes and nodded, her hands hugged Zhan Suiyu's body, and as soon as Zhan Suiyu bent over, the hot breath she exhaled was in his neck.

The people who passed by around lowered their heads, knowing that the eldest lady asked the female envoy around her to prepare the third lady's birthday to join the Geng post, and Zhan Suiyu is now regarded as the quasi-third aunt of Zhangfu. It's just that the third lady is so clingy, but they never knew it. The people in the third lady's courtyard said that she had a childish heart, and they didn't believe it at first, but now they saw it with their own eyes, but they were a little skeptical.

Zhan Suiyu was held by Zhang Qining like this, and the tip of her nose came from the cold fragrance of the girl's body, and her face couldn't help but turn red, it was really a little bit to be looked at by others like this... It's almost to her yard anyway, so it's better than-

He thought for a moment, reached out and grabbed the girl's leg sideways, picked her up, and walked quickly away from everyone's sight. The servants turned their heads to look at him after he left, and along the way, he felt that his back was almost baked by those hot eyes.

"Wow, is the third lady in his arms? It's so cute to huddle up there! "A girl who only looks at her face is obsessed with the beauty of Zhang Qining and Zhan Suiyu and can't extricate herself.

The girl on the side was surprised: "That's the third lady?" Am I right? The one holding her is..."

"Quasi-third aunt! You still don't know? ”

"Ahh The third lady is tired of playing, and someone will hug her, so envious. ”

The maids blushed and recalled the beautiful picture they had just seen as they walked, but they didn't expect the third lady to be so cute and well-behaved. It's so cute to hug something!

As they spoke, they were startled when they bumped into a man whose face didn't look very good.

"Two, second young master!"

Zhang Tingyu's face was warm, his skin was not smiling, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice when he heard what he said just now. "What, A-Ning was brought back by Zhan Sui Yu?"

The maids bowed their heads and were forced to resist the angry pressure of the second young master, and whispered: "Third Miss, it seems, it seems that she is tired." So..."

Tired? After going out for so long, why did they go so that she was so tired that she didn't even want to walk?

He walked directly towards Zhang Qining's courtyard.

The eldest girl, Qinglan, led Mu Li out of the room, and when she saw Zhan Sui Yu coming back with the sleeping Zhang Qining, she really startled them. Who knew that he had just come out of the room and had not eased up, and he met the second young master again.

"Second Young Master."

Zhang Tingyu waved his hand, "Are they inside?" ”

He was talking about them, not her, and it seemed that he had known it for a long time. Qinglan nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

When Zhang Tingyu heard this, he frowned and pushed the door in.

I saw that Zhan Suiyu was tucking the quilt for Zhang Qining, and when he looked up and saw Zhang Tingyu coming in, his hand holding the quilt paused in mid-air. Thinking that it is not such an unforgivable thing to appear in his fiancΓ©e's room to help cover a quilt as a fiancΓ©, and besides, Zhang Shihua has locked him up with Qi Ning for a night before, they should be very relieved of their concentration.

He covered the quilt, Zhang Qining turned over and grabbed his hand, put it next to his cheek, and rubbed it like a kitten. The corners of Zhan Suiyu's mouth rose, but thinking that Zhang Tingyu was still forcibly suppressing the desire to appreciate it again, he turned his gaze.

"Uncle?" He tried to shout, and Zhang Tingyu's graceful and warm face darkened visibly. Dominate the shopping mall, see people talking about people, talk nonsense when you see ghosts, see Taishan collapse in front of him and his face does not change his face Zhang Ershao doesn't even bother to hide his disgust, it seems that he is really annoying.

Zhan Sui Yu thought about whether to go out and talk, but Qi Ning kept holding him. He looked at Zhang Tingyu with some embarrassment, "Second Shao, that..."

Zhang Tingyu glanced over from their hands, lowered his eyes, turned his face and snorted softly.

"Twoβ€”"

"Alright, just stay at it." Zhang Tingyu said with a hand. "Did you do anything to her?"

"Nope."

"Then how do you get tired like this?"

I couldn't tell him about going to the ghost market, so Zhan Sui Yu said: "Maybe my body hasn't recovered yet, and I'm tired after playing for a while." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Tingyu glanced at Zhang Qining. "You can stay here, the kitchen will bring the soup later, and remember to let her drink it when you wake up."

Zhan Suiyu nodded to indicate that he understood.

Actually, Zhang Tingyu cares about his sister very much, how can he be so awkward? As for Zhang Shihua... Qi Ning almost killed her once, and the relationship can't be described as blunt, right?

β€œβ€¦ Zhao..."

Zhang Qining muttered softly in his dream, and Zhan Suiyu sat on the edge of the bed with his eyes lowered.

"Huh?"

Zhang Qining turned over his furry head, his mouth opened slightly to reveal a little teeth, and his fair face showed a touch of crimson because of sleep. The delicate thin eyebrows were slightly twisted, as if they were not very comfortable.

He leaned forward, one hand propped up on the pillow, the other on her forehead. "I don't have a fever."

β€œβ€¦ No. Zhang Qining snorted softly, with a hint of nasal crying.

Zhan Suiyu was suddenly stunned, and suddenly realized that his current posture was very, very bad.

In the dream, Zhang Qining saw a huge peach tree, and Tsing Yi on the tree saw a look of surprise in her eyes, and then showed a smile. "Miss Zhang, long time no see."

Zhang Qining raised her eyes and saw him stunned, she remembered that he seemed to be... Eh, Shi Niang's friend, have you drunk together before? Although she didn't remember it very clearly, it seemed that there was such a thing in her vague memory.

Tsing Yi jumped down from the tree and landed on the ground with ease.

"Does Miss Zhang remember being down? It's a great memory, and people who leave Xulai Township don't remember anything. He said with a laugh.

"Xulai Township... How did I get here? Zhang Qining was a little confused, and he couldn't see Tsing Yi very clearly, and he always felt a little hazy.

"Because the girl is dreaming."

"Then how are you..."

Tsing Yi smiled, "Why am I here?" Because I am the master of the village of Xulai. ”

β€œοΌŸβ€

Seeing that she was puzzled, he continued to explain: "As long as people can dream, there are many kinds of this, and I am a monster derived from one of them. As for what the dream is... Well, it's a dream to meet your sweetheart..."

"Spring dreams?"

Tsing Yi paused, haha laughed dryly.

β€œβ€¦β€

He nodded. Obviously, he was a little embarrassed.

"Miss Zhang, did you use something? It seems to have some ghost city vibes. ”

It turned out to be the ghost of that box of rouge?

Tsing Yi: "That being said, this dream is true. As for who this dream isβ€”" he looked to the side and smiled. "Don't bother with it."

Zhang Qining looked over, but his eyes were blindfolded by his hands. A voice came from his ear, "Qi Ning." ”

A low, warm voice fell into her ears, and the man grabbed her from behind and gradually pressed against her.

"Lin Zhao... Wait, don't..."
