As soon as Shen Junzhi and the three of them left, footsteps sounded in the yard, and after a while, the door of the house opened, and a child appeared in front of Shen Mengzhi.

It was the little beggar who helped Dao Gu hand over the note before, changed his outfit and dressed up as a little Taoist priest, looking clear and beautiful, very eye-catching.

Carrying a lantern in his hand, his body swayed because he was in a hurry.

When he saw Shen Mengzhi, he asked, "Will you still give me silver to buy sugar gourds to eat?" ”

Shen Mengzhi bent down, pinched the child's pink carved face, and said with a smile, "If you tell me what your name is, I will give you silver." ”

The child was afraid that Shen Mengzhi would regret it, so he hurriedly replied, "Seventeen, they all call me Little Seventeen." ”

Shen Mengzhi smiled, reached out to take the silver taels, and remembered embarrassedly that the money bag was in Mama Li's, not to mention the silver, she didn't even have a copper plate.

Seventeen didn't notice Shen Mengzhi's embarrassment, just waved his hand vigorously, lowered his voice and said, "Forget it, I don't want silver, I will be beaten in the palm of my hand if I take the silver...... Next time you come, just secretly bring me two strings of sugar gourds. ”

After thinking about it, Seventeen licked his lips and immediately changed his words, "Let's bring three skewers, if two skewers are a little bit insufficient." ”

It's gluttonous, cat-like, and people can't help but want to tease.

Shen Mengzhi couldn't help laughing, pinched Seventeen's cheek again, and said, "You take me to see Aunt Dao first, sugar gourd, I will definitely let you eat enough next time we meet." ”

Seventeen said yes in a row, with a smile on his face, he led Shen Mengzhi to the lobby in a jump, and before going up the steps, he grabbed Shen Mengzhi's sleeve and shook it, and whispered, "The sugar gourd is your and my secret, and I can't let them know that you will buy me a sugar gourd." ”

Shen Mengzhi nodded and said yes, watching Seventeen walk towards the courtyard with the lantern, his good-looking eyebrows raised.

They?

Is there more than one person?

Shen Mengzhi stepped up the steps and went directly into the lobby.

The candlelight in the room is dim, and the furnishings are simple, and a jade carved hibiscus barrier is placed in the center, dividing the huge room in two.

At this end of the barrier was a chair and a table, on which was placed a cup of steaming tea, which should have been freshly brewed, and the fragrance of tea was overflowing, and it was a good dragon well before the rain.

As for the other side of the barrier, all of them were blocked by the barrier, and there was not even a shadow in sight, let alone a few people. What the furnishings are, it is even more unknown.

Shen Mengzhi bowed to the barrier and said, "Thank you Kundao for being willing to meet." ”

A chuckle came from behind the barrier, and then the voice sounded, "Miss Shen doesn't have to be polite, if you have anything to say, sit down and talk." ”

The voice is crisp, like a yellow bird, and it sounds like a woman of fifteen, sixteen or seven. It's just that his voice is slightly cold, and he doesn't look like a person who can laugh.

Shen Mengzhi wondered if the laughter he had just heard was an auditory hallucination.

She sat down in her chair, glanced at the steaming tea, and her red lips opened lightly, "Last time, thank you Kun Dao for your help." ”

"Not necessarily." Dao Gu said these two words briefly, then turned the topic to this evening, and said, "Miss Shen dares to go in and out of a strange house alone at night, and she is so fearless, different from the women in the world, such behavior is really unexpected." Presumably, the people outside are waiting anxiously, if there is something, let's speak up. ”

Shen Mengzhi subconsciously felt that this Daoist aunt didn't like her, and between her words, it seemed ordinary, but in the end, she was full of ridicule.

She was not annoyed, and explained the bet with Meng Henan, and bluntly asked Aunt Dao to help say something.

There was silence behind the barrier, and finally a cold reply was given, "I never show my face." ”

"In that case, it's me who bother."

Shen Mengzhi got up and left.

Behind the barrier, he was stunned for a moment, and only when Shen Mengzhi walked to the door did he shout slowly, his tone was a little surprised and a little urgent.

asked, "Miss Shen has a request for others, and she still looks like she is on top, as if she is waiting for me to speak first to save your life, is there something I don't know what to do?" ”

"How can it be that you don't know what to do?" Shen Mengzhi turned around and looked at the delicate pattern on the barrier with a smile, "Since Kun Dao has the intention to let me enter the door, it means that there is room for negotiation in this matter, since you can make an exception, why bother to make a mistake?" Having said that, I'm not begging you, you give me what I want, I'll give you what you want, help each other, it's just a deal, it's a success, no one is a level higher than anyone, no one is lower than another. ”

What if lives are at stake?

Those who are willing to help her, even if she doesn't say a word, will become her most solid backing, and those who are unwilling to help her, even if she struggles to speak and is humble to the dust, others will still not help her.

The word transaction, the most taboo is to take the lead in showing the hole cards, if the bottom is exposed in front of the other party, it is tantamount to being detained, then what is fair about this transaction?

"Miss Shen's words are very confident." Dao Gu said.

The tone was still cold, but it was obviously a little more polite than Fang Cai's disdain.

Shen Mengzhi smiled lightly and was noncommittal.

Life is in the world, life is just face, if you step on your face, who will pay attention to it?

If you want others to respect you, first of all, you have to respect yourself, and among them, the indispensable thing is confidence.

People must first be confident, and then they will believe.

There was another laugh from behind the barrier, very softly, and after the laughter, the sound of slight footsteps sounded, gradually walking towards the outside of the barrier.

The figure is revealed, a young woman.

Dressed in a cyan robe, with a long body and delicate facial features, she looks like a gentle woman, but because she doesn't smile, her eyebrows are cold, which only increases the sense of alienation that people are not close to.

However, the white magnolia hairpin with hair tied on the head is finely carved and ornamented, and it is not a vulgar thing when it looks like it, adding a bit of human touch to this woman who does not eat fireworks in the world.

The good-looking Danfeng raised his eyes and asked, "Do you know that Menghenan has come to me a long time ago?" ”

It's inevitable.

If Meng Henan hadn't come to Dao Gu and didn't negotiate with Dao Gu, how could he have such confidence to bet with her?

"If I regret it, together with you, it is very likely that I will regret it again as I did with Menghenan." Dao Gu looked at Shen Mengzhi coldly, and snapped her slender nails, "This is related to your little life, you think clearly." ”

Shen Mengzhi replied with a smile, "Since I came to the door, I won't regret it." What Kun Dao wants, you might as well talk about it, I may not be able to do it. ”

Half of Dao Gu's body was leaning against the barrier, listening to Shen Mengzhi's words, she was not surprised at all, she looked intently at the round and full fingernails, and said without raising her head, "It's not difficult, that is, I heard that Miss Shen has a close-fitting jade, and she never shows it, I have always liked other people's favorites, especially I want to see what a great thing the cracked jade is." ”
