Walking through the bamboo corridor, Cui Jing raised his hand and saluted: "Grandfather, Mr. Wei." ”

The two responded, still falling, because they were playing rapid chess, the sound of the chess pieces falling on the board was endless.

Cui Jing raised his hand and stood aside, not watching the chess, but his eyes fell on the worship card in his hand.

At the end of the game, Cui Yuandao took two sips of tea before slowly speaking: "What's the matter?" ”

"Old lady Wang's greetings."

Cui Yuandao took the stack of paper that seemed to be casually placed at hand: "Eighty percent of the dry shares of Huixian Pavilion have arrived, and you can see Wang Hanzhi's old man." ”

"Grandfather." Cui Jing didn't leave immediately, "Can you guess why?" ”

"Isn't that little girl from the Wei family who took Wang Hanzhi and Xie Jiu to the Immortal Pavilion just to borrow Wang Hanzhi's hand to get back her freedom?" Cui Yuan said, "Yes, but just look at this bargaining chip, Wang Hanzhi is willing to come out." ”

Cui Jing was silent for a moment, and then said, "Grandfather, I don't think the chips are enough. ”

"Huh?" Cui Yuandao raised his eyebrows.

"Wei Liu's worth is more than this, and that Mr. Qi'an is also counted among them, if you look at it this way, it is naturally far from enough." Cui Jing, "If the Wang family is really willing to give her this bargaining chip, Jing really admires the courage of Mrs. Wang." ”

Cui Yuandao squinted: "Jiulang, you are even more qualified than your grandfather." ”

……

"Too much deception!" Wang Hanzhi, who received the reply, snorted coldly, "With such a big opening, he Cui Yuandao might as well move a few gold and silver mountains faster!" ”

Xie Jie picked up the reply letter that Wang Hanzhi slapped on the table, and was also stunned when he saw the conditions on the table clearly: "Cui Yuandao...... Cui Yuandao, this old man can open such a mouth? ”

"Yes, do you think this old man is crazy? My Cui Wang Xie has been friends for hundreds of years, he is so vain, and the lion opens his mouth, isn't it too much of a deception? He dared to open such a mouth, he Cui Yuandao has the ability not to ask for my Wang family in his life! Wang Hanzhi was furious.

Xie Jie also held his head and was puzzled: "How could he open such a mouth?" ”

"That's why I told you, our Bodhisattva is not a good person, but full of false compassion." Wang Hanzhi said angrily.

Xie Jie also felt that the chips opened by the Cui family were a little excessive: "It is indeed a bit too much to disregard the friendship between the two families, so what are you going to do, agree to this request?" ”

"The words are all out, how can the old man stop talking?" Wang Hanzhi was annoyed, "Cui Yuandao, this old man is too deceitful. ”

"If it's not suitable, just find an excuse and don't come out." Xie Jie said, "For the sake of a girl who is not related to her family, it is really unnecessary. ”

There was silence.

After a long time, Mrs. Wang took the case: "Isn't it just a gamble, my Wang family has a big business, and I can afford it!" Even if it's not for this girl, for Mr. Qi'an behind her, I'm out. After that, he opened his mouth and called someone, "Come on, go and write a letter, let this kid Rugu enter Beijing!" So much money can't be spent in vain! ”

After an order, the old lady Wang scolded and went out.

……

Jumped out of the window and brought in the empty food box.

Mr. Huang Shi stretched out his hands and feet and half-lay on the chair, making a corpse shape, and Pei Zongzhi on the side suddenly said: "Tomorrow, you follow Your Majesty to the court." ”

Wei Yaoqing paused: "Is it my turn?" ”

"Hmm." He answered, but did not speak.

"Got it."

……

Seeing off the girl, Mr. Yellowstone got up and paced out the door, where the children were strolling around the square.

The stupid boy of the Wei family caught a finch, tied it with a rope, and played with the finch.

"This kid didn't have a chance to be like this, it's the first time I've seen it." Mr. Huang Shi shook his head again and again, "It's good that it's not my son, otherwise I would have to die of anger." Thinking of this, I couldn't help but go into the house to take a look at the other child.

Sure enough, when he entered the house, the child was reading a book seriously.

"A world of difference, a world of difference!" Mr. Huang Shi shook his head and sighed, "It's really more popular than people, but that stupid boy is lucky, what can he do?" ”

……

The night was dark, the wind was cold, and the wind came in through the closed doors and windows, and there was a strange and penetrating chant.

A lone lamp swayed slightly in the oil.

The lonely lamp, the thatched hut, the jumping fire in the brazier, the girl in white and the hair. The girl tore the paper one by one and added burning materials to the brazier.

That's what I saw through the door.

Like the ghosts and strange stories in the painting book, Wang Xu tightened his clothes, said in his heart, and turned around to help the two old men in the carriage down.

Pushing the door into the house, the wind swept up the robe and flew around, like a group of demons dancing wildly.

Wang Xu patted his chest, inexplicably feeling frightened and gloomy.

"What are you doing, girl?" Old Man Wang came over and sat on both sides of her with Old Man Xie, and Wang Xu naturally sat directly opposite her.

The four of them sat in a hut, staring at the brazier in a daze.

The girl tore the paper and burned it one by one, and after a long time, she finally looked up: "It's so cold!" ”

Oh, so it was paper that was burned because it was cold! Several people had strange expressions.

Old lady Xie picked up the remaining half of the book she burned and looked at it: "The General Outline of the Thirteen Disciplines of Yin and Yang", and now only half of it is torn, what a "good boy" who loves to read!

"The next time the old man looks for you, go directly to the palace, you don't have to stay in this place." Old lady Wang looked at the dilapidated thatched cottage and frowned, "It's not an unsightly thing, and I don't have to be so evasive about it." ”

It's really strange, why did my head heat today and promise her to come to this hut to see her, this place is like a place for mountain spirits and wild monsters to rest. Thinking like this, he tightened his robe.

The girl spoke out faintly: "I saw that Mr. Qi'an was in this place. ”

Old Lady Wang's face changed abruptly, and she stared at Old Lady Xie with shining eyes: "You old man, this is the news I bought, you ...... How can you listen to it? ”

Xie Jie laughed: "I didn't mean to, blame me!" ”

"It doesn't hurt to hear it, if you want to see Mr. Qi'an, I must agree first, otherwise Mr. Qi'an won't meet you."

Old lady Wang was relieved now, squinting at Xie Jie.

"This Mr. Qi'an is not a mountain spirit," Xie Jie looked at the hut, "Ordinary people won't live here!" ”

Mountain spirits? In fact, it is not wrong to say that the original Mingzhu'er died a long time ago, and she was a wisp of lonely soul reborn in Wei Yaoqing's body, but the time and place were favorable, and her soul was particularly compatible with this body.

The girl smiled, and soon smiled: "Old lady Wang will summon the little girl, I think the matter has been done!" ”
