The turtle looked at Xing Ruyi, retracted its head into the turtle shell, and after a while, slowly poked it out again.

"If I tell you, will you save my life?"

The turtle's little eyes turned.

"No matter how stupid I have done, I have now suffered retribution. Since the girl is a kind person, she can't just watch me being stripped of her shell, right? ”

"You, just did something stupid?"

Although Xing Ruyi does not know the rules of the heavens, he knows the rules of the mortal world and the underworld. If this mortal man with magic wants to punish the tortoise in this way, then the mistake he has made can be summed up by more than just stupidity. If it is the underworld, she understands the temper of the Hades better. was punished as a turtle, and he still had to be shelled by someone, what a lack of virtue he had to do.

But she couldn't say these words, she still wanted to hear what kind of "stupid" thing this turtle did to toss herself like this. If the story is wonderful, she can tell it to the fox when she turns around, but if it is not exciting enough, she should pass the boring and lonely time.

Thinking of the fox, Xing Ruyi couldn't stay anymore. She tapped the turtle with her hand, motioned for it to wait, and then walked to the middle of the market and looked left and right.

Referring to her personal strength with the fox, she looked for a needle in a haystack for the fox, and it was relatively easy for the fox to find her. Just as he was thinking about how to leave a message for the fox, he saw Ling'er come out of the adjacent shop. In a flash of inspiration, he was talking about this moment.

"Madam, Ling'er didn't find Uncle Wang. Or is Ling'er looking somewhere else? The door of Uncle Wang's house is open, and he will never go far. ”

"No need, your Uncle Wang is at home, and he has just agreed to lend me this turtle for a while. That's the case, my sister first came here, and accidentally got separated from her husband. As for my sister, I don't know where to look, and I'm afraid that I will lose myself in the process of looking for it. Can Ling'er do her sister a favor. What about you, help my sister go and see, there is a very good-looking man in a white shirt in this fish market. ”

"Good-looking?" Ling'er frowned: "What kind of looks are good-looking?" ”

"This ......" Xing Ruyi looked at Ling'er with some embarrassment.

She originally had a lot of words in her mind that could be used to describe the fox, and she could even recite large paragraphs of rhetoric in gorgeous words, but looking at Ling'er's pure and flawless eyes, she couldn't say anything. No matter how you think about it, there are some suspicions that the princess sells melons and boasts.

"This is a fish market, right? Ling'er thinks about it, if it were a local, who would come here in white clothes? As for what it means to be good-looking, my sister doesn't know how to explain it to Ling'er. Anyway, my sister's father-in-law, if Ling'er saw it, she would naturally know that it must be him. ”

"Ling'er knows." Ling'er's eyes widened suddenly: "My sister already looks like the person in the painting, and if she can be praised by her sister for being good-looking, it means that my sister's husband is also like the person in the painting." ”

Xing Ruyi smiled a little embarrassedly, she squatted down and looked at Ling'er at eye level: "Does my sister really look like the person in the painting?" ”

"Hmm!" Ling'er nodded: "Let's be here, every once in a while, a few strangers will come, holding a portrait in their hands, and ask if we have seen the woman in the painting." Ling'er was curious, and secretly took a look, and the sister in the painting looked exactly like Mrs. It's just that...... It's just that the bun and clothes are not quite the same. ”

"Oh, there's that kind of thing."

Xing Ruyi smiled, and suddenly thought of the portrait that Yun Xi gave her back then. The woman in the portrait also looks exactly like her, but that person is not her, but the empress of the dynasty, Wu Meiniang.

In the Reincarnation Wheel, the Empress gave up on taking her primordial spirit and body, but Mo Su was reluctant. Although time has passed, it is difficult to guarantee that the empress will not regret it or want to use her for something. With a slight movement in her heart, she asked Ling'er: "Do we still have the portrait here?" ”

Ling'er shook her head: "No! Each of them held a portrait in each hand. My mother used to be an embroiderer, and she said that the portrait was not an ordinary portrait of a person, but a fine silk thread embroidered on extremely precious silk. That kind of skill and embroidery can only be done in the splendid workshop of Shendu. My mother also said that the girl in the painting must have an extraordinary background, even if she is not Princess Wangsun, she is also a famous official lady. ”

"Oh!" Xing Ruyi sighed lightly, and secretly put this matter in his heart.

She was familiar with the fairfair, maybe she could go back to her senses with the fox and inquire if those portraits had anything to do with her. As for Ling'er's side, she didn't want Ling'er to think about anything, so she gently pinched her face and said, "That sister is even more unlikely to be the person in the portrait." As for my sister, she is just an ordinary woman, and her family is at most a little rich. ”

Ling'er nodded, "Then Ling'er will help Madame find someone!" ”

"Ling'er, wait a minute."

"Madame has anything else to order?"

Ling'er stopped, turned around, and looked at Xing Ruyi seriously.

"There's no other command, it's just that you help my sister find someone, and my sister can't help but say it, right?" Xing Ruyi said, and untied a silver bag from himself: "There are some scattered silver here, you take it back." If your brother wants to eat osmanthus cake another day, you can take him to buy it. ”

"You can't ask for this bell!" Ling'er shook her head: "My mother said, no merit will be punished." Besides, Mrs. has already given Ling'er osmanthus cake, and Ling'er has no reason to ask Mrs. for anything in return. ”

Seeing that Ling'er was like this, it was inconvenient to be reluctant to punish Ruyi. Ling'er was a good child, and she was afraid that her actions would bring this good child to ruin. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Ling'er: "You don't want these silver bells, but there is one thing, Ling'er promised her sister that she can't shirk anymore, okay?" ”

"If you don't know what the lady is talking about, Ling'er can't answer Madame in advance."

"Don't worry, it's what you can take."

Xing Ruyi said, turned back to the shop and asked Uncle Wang for some paper and pen, quickly wrote something, and then handed it to Ling'er.

"What is this?"

Ling'er shook the paper in her hand. She hadn't entered school yet, and she hadn't been able to read and write from anyone else, and none of the things on the coarse paper she could read.

"Look at me, I almost forgot." Xing Ruyi suddenly remembered that people like Ling'er's father and mother who make a living by fishing are afraid that they haven't learned a few words. She kindly wrote these secret recipes for making fish, but I was afraid that in a blink of an eye, Ling'er's father and mother would be burned as a paper to light a fire. She patted her head in annoyance, and said to Ling'er: "You wait a little longer, my sister will change the things on this again." ”

When he came out again, Xing Ruyi had another piece of yellow coarse paper in his hand to wrap things, and some patterns were simply outlined with a pen on the paper. These patterns are so vivid and depicted that Ling Er can understand them at once.

"Ma'am, this is—"

"Ling'er is so smart! You've got it, haven't you? Xing Ruyi touched Ling'er's head: "These are all ways to make fish." My sister still remembers that before coming to Uncle Wang's house, Ling'er once said to her sister that Uncle Wang is a smart person, whether it is a big fish or a small fish, a live fish or a dead fish, Uncle Wang can find a way to sell it. But this business is about having a lively mind and a flexible tongue, which not everyone can learn. Ling'er's father and mother, shouldn't be good at this method? ”

Ling'er nodded: "What Madam said is that my father is honest, even if Uncle Wang teaches him by hand, he can't learn." My mother can, but she takes care of my father's face, and it's not good for her to come forward herself. Besides, the people who come and go in this fish market are not kind-hearted people like Madame, and my father is worried that my mother will be wronged, so he is not willing to let her come out to shout. Ling'er wanted to help, but her father and mother didn't agree, and Ling'er was also in a hurry, but there was nothing she could do. ”

"Ling'er is already great!" Xing Ruyi said, and patted Ling'er lightly on the shoulder: "You have put away these papers, and I will hand them over to your mother when I go back later." These are all ways to make fish, especially those that make small fish. This person is not only one way to do business, this fishing and selling fish is not a long thing, if you encounter those stormy weather, you can only sit at home with dry eyes.

Instead of passively waiting for God to enjoy food, it is better to take the initiative to find food for yourself. Let your mom and dad do some small business related to fish. People take food as the sky, you are a fish market here, your father can still fish by himself, and your mother is a person who is clever and sees through the world. My sister believes that your future days will be better and better. ”

"Thank you, ma'am!"

"Don't thank me, you should thank yourself. If you hadn't stopped me on the street and asked me for osmanthus cake; If it weren't for your kindness to help me lead the way; If I hadn't agreed to help me find a husband without thinking about it, and refused the silver taels I gave you without even thinking about it, how could I have thought of drawing these patterns. Therefore, this fate is predestined, but the opportunity is earned by oneself. Hurry back, you've been out for so long, your mother is at home, it's time to be in a hurry. ”

"Then Ling'er will go home first, give this thing to my mother, and then talk to my mother, and then go to help my wife find her husband."

"Then it's hard bell!"

"Madame—" Ling'er blushed awkwardly, then turned around and ran away with the two pieces of paper clutched.

Xing Ruyi turned around, returned to the turtle, poked his turtle shell with his hand, and asked, "Mr. Turtle has thought about it?" Do you want to tell me those stories of yours? ”

"I'm not Mr. Turtle, and I don't have the surname Turtle!" The turtle poked his head out sullenly, and said sullenly: "My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Youde." ”

"No virtue?"

"Wu Youde! It's Wu Youde! ”

The turtle's head popped out of its shell.
