However, the eldest sister didn't pay much attention to her mother's reprimands, and still smiled and put a chicken leg on Fuqiao's plate: "Sister eat more." ”

Old Madam Shen looked at Sister Hua and coughed.

Sister Hua looked over and didn't know what was going on.

"Give your second sister some food." Old Madam Shen gave Sister Hua a look.

Sister Hua said "oh", and also sandwiched a chicken leg for me, and whispered to me: "Remember to help me say a few more good words." ”

I smiled at him and didn't speak.

What a person who can't afford to be early!

At a meal, Fu Qiao was very happy to eat, but I was a little flustered when I ate. Mrs. Shen vigorously instructed Sister Hua to pick up vegetables for me. Sister Hua is also filial, and she piled up a hill on my plate. When I was a guest at someone's house, especially if I had to ask for someone in the future, I couldn't save their face, so I could only stuff all the food into it.

I think I have a flower essence, I just drink dew, but because these two mother and son have eaten a lot of things that make me indigestion. If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't use spells in front of people, I really wanted to use the sound transmission paper crane to tell Yue Lao that I couldn't do this job, so let him change people.

I don't want to be heroic in the world at a young age.

After dinner, Sister Hua greeted Mrs. Shen and said that she would take me and Fuqiao out for a walk. Mrs. Shen was satisfied, and sent us out of the house with a mouthful, "Have fun, don't come back too early, take care of the two younger sisters ......".

I looked at the door of the mansion that was quickly closing behind me, thinking about how much this old lady Shen would want us to leave quickly to be like this!

Sister Hua is honest and does not deceive me, the night view of the sun is indeed very beautiful. The streets are shrouded in golden light in the setting sun, and the bells on the eaves look much clearer. There were a lot of people on the streets, more than when we first arrived. It seems that the people of Youyang prefer to wander at night, and we wandered from the evening until late at night, but the vendors on the street did not have the idea of leaving their stalls and going home, but the business became more prosperous.

Following Sister Hua, we walked to a river, and there were many people putting river lanterns by the river. The lotus base and the glowing candle flame reflect the sparkling water of the river.

There were a few bright lights floating in the sky in the distance, and I turned my head to look at Sister Hua and asked him, "What is that?" ”

Sister Hua glanced at the sky: "That's a sky lantern." The people use it to pray for blessings, hoping that the gods in the sky can hear our wishes. Why, don't you have such a custom there? ”

Listening to his question, I almost blurted out the word "no". Fortunately, Fu Qiao reacted faster than me, otherwise I would have been exposed.

"Naturally, there is." Fu Qiao replied with a smile, "It's just that my sister doesn't leave the boudoir on weekdays, so she doesn't know what is going on outside." ”

Sister Hua took Fu Qiao's words seriously, nodded and said, "I see." ”

I pouted. I hadn't seen that light in the heavenly realm before. I haven't heard from any god or another that uses this method to listen to the prayers of the nether. Presumably, it was just something that these mortals invented in order to place their wishes.

I rolled my eyes and asked Sister Hua, "Can I put a sky lantern?" ”

Since I have come to the world, it is good for me to feel the happiness of mortals.

"This ......" Sister Hua hesitated a little.

Fu Qiao and I looked at each other and asked him, "What?" Brother Shen is in trouble? ”

"It's not too difficult to put a sky lantern." Sister Hua said, "It's just that in our dark sun, you can't put sky lanterns in the downtown area, for fear that it will fall somewhere and walk away." If my sister really wants to let it go, she can only go to the neighborhood where the slums live. But there, there is some chaos...... I'm afraid my two sisters will be afraid. ”

A neighborhood where the slums live? Will Lin Chuyun's family live there now?

I glanced at Fu Qiao again. She really had a tacit understanding with me, and with just one glance, Fu Qiao understood what I meant.

"With Brother Shen by our side, we are not afraid." Fu Qiao said to Sister Hua with a smile.

When Sister Hua heard this, her self-confidence exploded all of a sudden: "What my sister said is that I will protect my two younger sisters. ”

Fu Qiao smiled: "I believe in my brother." ”

Sister Hua was stupidly happy a few times, no longer hesitated, and took us out of the city.

Slums are located on the outskirts of the city. We walked for more than half an hour to get there. As the crowd became more and more scarce, the surrounding buildings began to become dilapidated, and even the bells on the eaves disappeared.

Fu Qiao also noticed this, looked at Sister Hua, and asked him, "Brother Shen, why is there no bell hanging in the house here?" ”

Sister Hua looked at the surrounding houses: "Sister is talking about the bell on the eaves, right?" ”

Fu Qiao nodded.

"Those bells are a status symbol. The pattern engraved on the bell is different for each class. Sister Hua explained to us, "The official family carves the crane, the merchant family carves copper coins, the scholarly family engraves Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, and the civilians who are a little richer carve auspicious clouds, but those families who can't even eat enough have no bells to hang." There was a hint of helplessness on Sister Hua's face, "Or to put it another way, they don't have the money, and they don't have the leisure to hang bells on the eaves of their houses." ”

Fu Qiao and I frowned. Unexpectedly, the bell that pleasing our eyes when we first came here actually had a class symbol in it. This makes me feel less fond of the bell.

When we walked to the house of a fiasco winner, Sister Hua paused. Although the movements were undetectable, they still caught me and Fu Qiao. The eight achievements here are Lin Chuyun's home.

"Brother Shen is not feeling well?" Fu Qiao asked him.

I looked at Sister Hua's face and observed the change in his expression.

Sure enough, a trace of emotion appeared on Sister Hua's face.

"Brother Shen has something to say to us. My sister and I don't go out and talk nonsense. I said to him.

Fu Qiao nodded.

Sister Hua glanced at the family and sighed softly: "This family was originally our capital here, surnamed Lin." ”

Sure enough, this is Lin Chuyun's home.

"Originally, nearly half of the shops in Youyang were once their family's property." Sister Hua continued, "But the Lin family is unladylike, and they were deceived and lost most of their family business. In order to survive, Master Lin sold the rest of the shop and turned it into a salt shop. However, while transporting salt in the river, he encountered water bandits. Thirty boatloads of salt were all snatched up. Now it's down to this kind of field. It's embarrassing. ”

I looked at the door of the Lin family and thought it was really embarrassing. The wood on the door in front of me had begun to rot, and the wall next to it was made of adobe. Who would have thought that the person who lives here would be the richest man in Youyang?

Just then, the wooden door was pushed open from the inside. A woman wearing a plain linen dress, with a wooden hairpin on her head, and a bag in her hand, walked out of the door. Seeing us and Sister Hua, the woman was stunned for a moment, but in the next moment, she regained her composure and politely bent her knees to the three of us.

"Brother Shen...... Shao Yin. The woman's eyebrows lowered and she saluted Sister Hua.

A hint of reluctance flashed in Sister Hua's eyes: "Sister doesn't have to be polite. ”

The woman straightened up and did not answer.

"Sister, this is going out?" Sister Hua asked her.

The woman smiled lightly: "Go and send the freshly embroidered handkerchief to the shops in the city." It should be able to exchange some silver taels. ”

"Then I won't delay my sister's time."

The woman gave the three of us another suit and slowly left. Although the woman's dress is extremely simple, it can be seen from her back and behavior that she is from a big family.

Sister Hua watched the woman's figure turn out of the alley, sighed slightly, and looked back at us: "This is the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Chuyun." He also called me Brother Shen. Sister Hua's smile was a little bleak, "She and my cousin used to be married. But the family was backward, and my uncle tore up the marriage contract, which cut off the Lin family's last retreat. ”

Fu Qiao and I looked at each other. It turned out that the woman just now was Lin Chuyun. Looking at her appearance, she is indeed living a miserable life now. However, listening to Sister Hua's words just now, he seems to be quite upset with the Lin family, and he doesn't like his uncle's approach very much.

"That's it. Don't talk about this, so as not to make the two sisters unhappy. Sister Hua laughed again, "Let's go, take you to put the sky lantern." ”

Leaving the door of Lin's house, Sister Hua took us to a relatively empty place. As we walked this way, we ran into some thugs. The thugs looked at me and Fu Qiao's eyes lit up like hungry wolves seeing their prey. Fortunately, Sister Hua came together with us, and those gangsters didn't dare to do anything.

We stopped in the open area, and Sister Hua took out the sky lantern she had bought from the stall before, and asked me and Fu Qiao to carry it aside, and squatted down to take the fire fold and lit the fuel block below.

The fuel block was ignited, and the sky lantern slowly increased because of the heat, floating upward, if it weren't for me and Fu Qiao holding it, the sky lantern would have flown into the sky long ago.

Looking at the lantern-like sky lantern, Sister Hua said, "Let it go." ”

Fu Qiao and I let go of our hands, and the sky lantern flew up unfettered like a kite with a broken string.

I looked at the sky lantern flying farther and farther away, and suddenly I had the idea of making a wish.

Although I knew that the gods in the sky were destined not to see or hear my wishes, I still silently said what I wanted to say to Yue Lao.

"Master, I found Lin Chuyun. She's having a bad time. If you can hear me, can you tell me how I can help her? not only helped her marry Li Wenhao. ”

Put the sky lantern, and it's not too early. Old Madam Shen had said not to go back too early, but it was not good to wander outside late at night. What's more, Sister Hua had to go on duty the next day.

On the way back, I couldn't let go of Lin Chuyun's affairs. I wonder if I can ask Sister Hua about anything more.

"Brother Shen." I call him.

Sister Hua was looking at Fu Qiao with joy, but she didn't react when I suddenly called out.

"Brother Shen!" I called him again.

Sister Hua finally heard my voice, and looked at Fu Qiao before looking at me: "Is there something wrong with my sister?" ”

I silently rolled my eyes and nodded, "Well, something." ”
