"Huh?" Changning didn't expect that the purple lotus root was the inconspicuous root in front of her, she carefully took the root from Wen Xu's hand, it was no different from an ordinary tree root to the touch, put it under her nose and sniffed it, there was no smell, it may have been left for too long, and the water was lost, so she couldn't smell anything. She looked at Wen Xu with some suspicion and asked, "Is this really the Purple Lotus Root?" ”
Wen Xu smiled and nodded, not taking Changning's suspicions to heart. He was just as skeptical when he first got it.
"Where did you get that? I remember that your Mo family didn't. Changning asked strangely. He remembered that Wen Xu seemed to be in a coma when Liu Zhong said before, and asked strangely, "How do you know that I need this?" ”
Wen Xu said a little uncomfortably, "I listened to what Wu Wu said. ”
"Oh." Changning took it for granted that it was because Jun Wuwu couldn't find it, so Tuo Wenxu looked for it.
Wen Xu looked at Changning's expression beside him, smiled slightly, and then changed the topic to other places, "I heard that the lady's shop under the name of our Ping An Group is doing very good business now." ”
"That's right." Changning showed a satisfied look, the things in the lady's shop were originally designed by her at the beginning, but the business was just average, and it was not as hot as imagined. It can be seen that no matter what you do, you need to do it seriously in order to do well, she used to have more experience than others, thinking that she could do a good job, but in fact, because she couldn't focus and her grades were mediocre. She thought of Lu Yi, and Chang Ning said with an appreciative expression, "Lu Yi has done a good job in the past few years. Lady Shop is now the most famous and fashionable shop on the mainland, all thanks to her. ”
Wen Xu couldn't cry or laugh a little, he looked at Changning with a smile and didn't know what to say about her.
Changning looked up just in time to see his expression, and asked a little strangely, "What's wrong with me?" ”
"Aren't you going to the gala in a few days?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Wen Xu asked helplessly.
Changning nodded and replied quickly, "That's right." ”
"Are you going to dress like this for a few days?" Wen Xu motioned for Changning to look at her own clothes.
Today, Changning wore a light green brocade skirt embroidered with small yellow flowers, the clothes were newly made, and the style was also the latest. Changning blinked his eyes and thought about it, when he first saw Wen Xu, he was gorgeously dressed and exquisite, and his whole body was full of luxury. Changning looked at him with some disapproval. "You can just be particular about yourself, why do you ask me to be so particular? I just need to be able to wear it. And there will be no shame in wearing this outfit anywhere, okay. ”
"Huh." Wen Xu chuckled softly, "You don't care so much now, you will regret it when the time comes." Do you know how much our lady's shop is getting in every day? ”
"How much?" Changning asked casually, and suddenly she thought of Wen Xu's intention when she talked about this topic. There was some annoyance in his expression.
It's just too careless. I didn't even prepare the clothes and accessories I wore on the day of the Hundred Flowers Feast, if I didn't remember it, it was very likely that the second of the Hundred Flowers Feast would become the laughing stock of Quan Shengjing, and it would also hurt the Liu family to lose face, and they didn't pay attention to these all these years, and they didn't go to any banquets, and the maids around them were all talents in other aspects, and they didn't receive the vocational training of the maids of the big family, which caused the current problem.
Her face was a little hot, and she felt a little embarrassed, as a young lady of the family, she should devote most of her thoughts to this. But now it's good, I still have to be reminded, and it's a gay man. She struggled to keep smiling, pretending to be nonchalant, and asked, "Oh, are you ready?" No mistakes, no word skipping.
The corners of Wen Xu's mouth raised slightly, revealing a narrow smile, "Of course mine is already ready." Suck the most popular pink, purple and dark green this year, what color is your outfit? ”
Changning had returned to her usual indifferent appearance at this time, she lowered her head and thought about it, the pink and purple were too soft, and the dark green was too deep, and said casually, "I'm going to make a black samurai uniform, but the style should be more delicate, and add some simple floral ornaments, what do you think?" ”
Wen Xu's eyes became brighter, and his smile became stronger, "I think it's good." ”
Soon it was the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival. During this period, Hai Wuya finally finished dealing with the affairs of Yancheng and rushed to Shengjing, and Ziyi and Hai Wuya reluctantly left Shengjing after handing over the work at hand.
Wen Xu and Jun Wuwu would come to Liufu to visit Changning almost every day. In order to allow Changning to recuperate better, they just talked about some interesting stories about Shengjing and the latest gossip. As more and more young masters and young ladies of the family come to Shengjing, Shengjing's gossip business has become more prosperous. Today, I can hear about where a certain young lady and a certain young master went on a blind date, what the result was, and so on; and where the ladies will meet; Topics such as which young masters and young ladies are the most handsome and beautiful, although they are a little boring, but after being processed and rendered by those boring people in the market, they also sound quite interesting.
The chief of the Huaiyuan Garden sat quietly in her chair and looked at the information, and since she could get out of bed, she insisted on reading some important information every day.
Putting down the information in his hand, Changning instructed a little maid outside the door, "Go and ask Mr. Hai to come over." ”
During this time, she was anxious to know if there were any marks on her aunt's body. Ever since that day Jun had an extra plum blossom-shaped mark on her hand, she seemed to be a different person. From the original arrogant and domineering Miss Jiao to a delicate and lovely little woman. It was too sudden, too unbelievable. Whether it is from the point of view of intelligence or the news that Jun Wuwu knows, it can be seen that Jun Wuji's change is overnight. It's strangely suspicious.
But Orange Yi has never received any news from there, and there has been no news from Orange Yi since yesterday.
There was a knock on the door. Changning tightened his brows and loosened a little, and said gently, "Please come in." ”
Hai Wuya, who was dressed in green clothes, pushed the door in, saluted respectfully, and asked solemnly, "Miss, what's the matter?" ”
"You sit down first." Changning pointed to another chair and motioned for him to sit down. Then he said, "Did Doctor Dong do any research there?" ”
Since the last time Wen Xu brought the purple lotus root, that Doctor Dong read the prescription written by Liu Zhong, sighed "Jing Second" and began to immerse himself in his research, during which he was only awake once, at that time he was mentally sluggish and his body was devoid, obviously caused by excessive use of the brain. He told Changning that his surname was Dong and asked her to help send a letter to Haoyang Sect, saying that he would postpone the date of his return. Later, after replenishing his energy, he gave Jun Wuwu a prescription, asking him to help refine some elixirs to restore spiritual power, and then fell into his research career.
Changning was really impressed when he looked at his research spirit, but it was a pity that he was not born in the world of his previous life. If he were there, he would definitely be the world's top medical scientist, a scientist, and a respected master. However, according to Changning's understanding, his reputation in Haoyang Sect is not good, and he is rated as the youngest elder, but he is also the most unpromising, the most disappointing disciple of the master, and the most disgraceful plaything in Haoyang Sect.
Hai Wuya remembered that Doctor Dong showed a helpless expression, he had been trying to interrupt his research for the past few days, although he had heard the horror of his anger, but if his young lady could not recover in two days, he would never have a chance to enter the Xiao Mi Void Realm. But no matter what means he used, the "research madman" just closed the door and ignored the outside world, and he sighed and said, "I've been here for a few days, and I haven't been able to say a word to him." Didn't go into his room either. ”
Changning nodded in understanding. Although she is also a little anxious, there are some things that cannot be forced. She said indifferently, "Forget it, don't scratch him for the time being." Although the matter of going to the Xiaomi Realm may be put on hold, it is better to prepare as usual. ”
Hai Wuhai replied softly, "Yes." He picked up the cup and stopped talking, just glanced at Changning with sympathy. Miss probably doesn't want to give up yet, right? No mistakes in many words
"A lot of mysteries from the Beihai side have come to our side of Dongyue?" Changning remembered a strange piece of information he had seen these days, and asked Hai Wuya.
"Yes. The area near the North Sea has had some dead fog since three months ago, which appeared every morning, and then the sun came out and then dispersed. It doesn't have much effect on ordinary people. However, it had a great impact on the mysteries, and the mystical qi in the cultivators' bodies became mottled and refined, and many people went mad. Some people heard that there was a large amount of blue grass in the Dongyue country, so they migrated here intermittently. Today, there are almost 2,000 people, gathering in the suburbs of Shengjingdi, forming a new force. Hai Wuya showed a solemn look and said to Changning in detail.
Changning frowned and asked, "Then didn't the four major families come forward to take care of it?" "No mistakes, no skipping words. Changning didn't believe that the four families of Mo, Feng, Jun, and Bai had suddenly become so benevolent and would allow such a small force to wander around Shengjing.
The color of pity in Hai Wuya's eyes flashed, and he said in a cold voice, "Of course it can't be, these people have all become swords and tools in the hands of the four of them. When he said this, he suddenly closed his eyes in discomfort, and after a while he returned to his usual appearance, he said, "There should have been 2,500 people who came here in a month, but in just one month, it has already decreased by one-fifth. ”
Changning pondered, "Where did these missing people go?" ”
"Some are dead, some have been resettled after being seriously injured, some have become secret guards, and some we haven't found out where they have gone yet." Hai Wuya sighed when he said this, "Maybe it was disposed of because he was unwilling to compromise." ”
Hai Wuyan's voice was emotional and sad. Changning looked at him in surprise. He was never a sentimental person. Although he was a man of letters, he was more of a businessman in his bones.
