"Old lady, the holy woman in Gucheng replied that she had been ill recently and could not come in person. But she has been praying for the eighth young master in Gucheng overnight, and the eighth young master is auspicious, and he will definitely be able to survive this catastrophe, so that the old lady can rest assured. "The men sent to Gucheng returned empty.

This Li Si should be dead, right? So Gu Yupan didn't dare to come, but it was really impeccable and impeccable to be able to respond to the Zhang family in such a timely manner... I didn't have to come forward in person, but I also predicted that the eighth young master would wake up... Was it the man behind the scenes? The man didn't dare to meet her head-on?

I have been praying for the eighth young master in Gucheng overnight, and the eighth young master is auspicious, and he will be able to survive this catastrophe...

In this way, the eighth young master can wake up, in the eyes of the Zhang family, it has nothing to do with him, but it may be because of her holy daughter's blessing... If she says that this saint is not, I'm afraid that Mrs. Zhang will think that all this is a play directed and acted by herself...

The first time they met, the other party avoided it. Anyway, the other party doesn't plan to appear behind the scenes, and she can't wait for any clues. Chi Jing got up and said goodbye to Mrs. Zhang: "Now that the eighth young master has woken up and the lady's house is peaceful, it's time for the little girl to say goodbye." ”

"This." Old Madam Zhang has never seen the holy woman, and it is not easy to judge the truth and falsehood of the other party's words and the person, but if someone touches her Zhang family's ancestral grave, she can't easily let it go. "Miss Chi, did the family teacher ever say, who is the person who dares to break ground on the grave of my Zhang family's ancestor?"

"Old Madam Zhang, rest assured, that person has been repelled by forbidden arts, and he will reap the consequences. I'm afraid that that person still has a party, old lady, there are more people to guard against the ancestral grave. Chi Jingluo said generously, not minding the old lady's temptation.

...

"Grandmother... Grandmother..."

While talking, a group of children poured into the hall, and one by one they came to Mrs. Zhang's side, shouting for their grandmother one after another.

If her parents were still alive, not to mention nine, even eighteen, she would be willing to give birth, and let her children take care of their grandparents one by one...

Xu saw Chi Jing's sudden sentimental look after seeing the children, which inexplicably touched the soft string in Mrs. Zhang's heart, and she let go of the doubt in her heart.

"Hey, hey~My good grandchildren~" Looking at the good grandchildren, Mrs. Zhang smiled, touched this head, and touched that hand: "Oh, my little Jiu'er, why are your hands so cold and how can you wear so little?" ”

Xiao Jiu'er, it was the four or five-year-old girl who was brought by the old lady in Tianji Lane and was noisily going home. Chi Jing looked at the clever and lovely Xiao Jiu'er, his eyebrows flashed, the brothers were five or six...

"Yikes." Xiao Jiu'er was the first to find the big sister standing on the side looking at them enviously, she was lively and pulled Chi Jing's skirt, her big black eyes were full of curiosity, and she raised her little head and looked up: "Big sister, who are you?" ”

This big sister's eyes are so good-looking, and she looks as bright as the night pearl in her mother's room. It's better looking than your own, and the big sister's face must be better than herself, right? Why did the big sister wear that cloth over her face?

Chi Jing squatted down and was about to speak, but his face suddenly cooled-

"Ahh Xiao Jiu'er hurriedly threw the veil in her hand and ran to Mrs. Zhang screaming: "Grandmother help..."

The other children also looked at each other at this scream, stunned...

"Ahhh

"Grandmother help..."

"It's scary... Woooooo

After Chi Jing was stunned, he quickly picked up the veil on the ground and tied it again, so as not to frighten the children.

Zhang's house was suddenly full of chickens and dogs, and the hall was filled with the noise of children scrambling to walk, some sat on the ground and cried, and some took the opportunity to scold their brothers and said that the other party was cowardly, and they scuffled together without saying a word... Some of them were in Mrs. Zhang's arms and didn't dare to raise their heads, and some hugged each other and shivered...

Chi Jing couldn't help but smack his tongue, silently dispelling the idea of being willing to have eighteen children just now...

...

finally coaxed the children away, and Mrs. Zhang came over with an apologetic face: "Miss Chi, I can't help but say sorry for Xiao Jiu'er, she is still young and ignorant... Don't take it personally. "No wonder this Chi girl is covering her face from beginning to end... The moment she was just taken off the veil, the hideous scar was exposed in front of everyone, and her heartbeat missed several beats...

"It's okay, kid, I won't take it to heart." Ji Jing smiled nonchalantly.

Is it because the appearance of the flower and moon has been ruined that I have no choice but to worship the warlock as a teacher and earn some thin remuneration in order to live a stable life in the second half of my life, right? Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang's heart felt a little more sympathetic. "Someone's coming."

The housekeeper stepped up and handed Mrs. Zhang a red envelope.

Old Madam Zhang took out a few more silver tickets from her arms, and handed them to Chi Jing together with the heavy envelope: "Miss Chi, there is no way to repay the great kindness of saving my little eight, these external objects, not much, but also a little bit of the old body's heart, you can accept it." ”

"Old Madam Xie." Pretending to push it, Chi Jing didn't look at the silver ticket too much, and accepted it.

Seeing that she behaved decently, neither humble nor arrogant, Mrs. Zhang felt good and deeply regretted at the same time: How good would it be if she hadn't been disfigured? Her youngest son, the fourth child, is still unmarried... She was so anxious that there was smoke above her head, but he still didn't feel pain, and rejected batch after batch of matchmakers...

...

After bidding farewell to Mrs. Zhang, Chi Jing decided to spend one night at the most prestigious Xiangyun Inn in the capital.

At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the degree of population density is beyond Chi Jing's imagination. The streets in the capital are neatly planned like a chessboard, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and the pedestrians are bustling with people, even if it is night, there is still an endless stream of people outside.

Xiangyun Inn is worthy of being one of the best inns in Beijing. As soon as she entered the room and put her baggage, Xiao Er sent hot water and hot tea snacks for bathing, and intimately informed her that it was a gift from the inn to the guests who stayed at the hotel, and there was no cashier.

The inn's thoughtful and meticulous style and warm and clean environment made her feel happy, and after bathing, she simply called the shopkeeper directly: "Shopkeeper, do you know where in the capital there are restaurants and restaurants that urgently need to change hands?" ”

"Guest officer, what are you going to do..."The shopkeeper of Xiangyun Inn was fifty miles away, and when he heard this, he put down the abacus in his hand and asked with a smile, not saying that he knew or did not know.

Is this afraid that you are a peer? A smile appeared in Chi Jing's eyes: "Shopkeeper, don't worry, I plan to set up a shop to make a living in some restaurants and restaurants, not for inns." ”

"Huh." The shopkeeper was relieved when he heard this, and the smile on his face was a little sincere: "As far as the little one knows, there are a few who plan to change hands, because the location is not very good, the business can't be done, and they want to go out and get some old books back to their hometown and then find a way out." ”

"Can the shopkeeper help me take a look tomorrow? Or send someone to take me there. Chi Jing took out some broken silver and put it on the table.

She just looked at the silver tickets that Old Madam Zhang stuffed into her, and there were hundreds of taels... I don't know what kind of land price is in the capital, in short, it is more than enough to pay a deposit.
