In the southern part of Yecheng, most of the people who live are wealthy, and it is also the most prosperous place

These people are not the kind of petty traders and peddlers, and the places they live in are veritable mansions, and each one is like a regal one.

Located in a corner of the southern district, there is a mansion that covers a wide area, the owner of the mansion is surnamed Qiao, who lives in Wilderness City, and is also a family here, and the business house controlled by it is one of the three major chambers of commerce in Wilderness City, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is rich in the world.

As the saying goes, the seven-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door, with the power of the Qiao family, in addition to a limited number of officials such as the city lord, the civil and military officials of Wilderness City have to call the owner of the Qiao family 'Qiao Owner' when they see it, and the status of the Qiao family's subordinates is naturally rising, which is different from ordinary people.

Qiao Qiliang has been a porter in Qiao's house for more than 30 years, and he is used to seeing the hot and cold world, and anyone who has passed through his threshold, whether it is men, women, old or young, noble or low...... Even the bureaucrats who came to visit him were very polite to him.

Over time, even he himself felt that he was a character, a villain who looked arrogant in front of outsiders, of course, when he was sent to usher in so many people, he should be humble in front of whom, and in front of whom...... This bit of proportion can still be mastered.

At noon, Master Qiao (this is what he called himself in front of others) usually wants to take a nap, and the little maids in the family know that disturbing Master Qiao at this time will have very serious consequences - if you want to sneak out in the future, it depends on whether Master Qiao is in a good mood.

'Bang, bang, bang'

Just as he leaned back on the chaise longue, there was a knock at the door, and it was heavier than the other, which shook Old Man Qiao's head and jumped up from the chaise longue in a snap - this is due to the fact that he had also practiced the handle when he was young, and his body was tougher than that of ordinary young people, and a carp seemed to be very good...... It's just that I'm a little anxious, and I flashed my waist.

However, he didn't dare to complain about this, the sound of knocking on the door showed that he was confident, and it was very likely that he was a guest who could not be neglected, Qiao Qiliang pressed his waist and ran out to open the door...... As soon as the door opened, his old face, which had been smiling, immediately turned as cold as the weather—

Standing in front of the door was a young girl. People are very handsome. It's just that the clothes are shabby. Qiao Qiliang threw a sentence coldly: "Follow the wall and go west." Corner doors. ”

'Bang! ’

The door closes. Qiao Qi snorted and walked towards the gatehouse. If it weren't for the fact that this girl looks neat today. I have to give her a good lecture.

But he didn't wait to lie back in his chair. The door rang again.

"But it's the other way around!"

Qiao Qi screamed strangely. Furious, he rushed towards the gate.

Moon Shadow was a little puzzled, although each place had its own unique customs, but she had never heard of letting guests go through the corner door, and when the old man entered, she came forward and knocked on the door again...... The door opened from the inside with a bang, and the old man pointed at her angrily just now and started training.

After listening for a while, Moon Shadow understood that she dared to influence the old man's lunch break...... It seemed that he was a little at a loss, but after listening to it for a while, he found that this old man was salivaful and gushing, so he quickly interrupted his topic.

"Old man, I have a letter from the owner of Qiao here, he invited me to come, please inform him, just say that someone surnamed Shen is looking for him."

Qiao Qiliang was talking about it, took the letter casually, and said with a big grin: "Girl, no matter what the proprietor is and looks at...... Uh, you said the lord invited you here? ”

He shuddered suddenly, and when he realized what Moon Shadow was talking about, his face suddenly became embarrassed, and he looked down at the handwriting on the letter in his hand...... It was written by Joe Proprietor himself.

He didn't dare to read the content, and the proprietor Qiao was at home at this time, and he was not afraid that the other party would lie.

After respectfully handing the letter back to Moon Shadow, Qiao Qiliang bowed slightly and said, "Please wait a while, I'll go and report to the master." ”

This is the kind of person that Moon Shadow casually took the letter and waited in front of the door.

Qiao Qiliang was afraid of delaying the master's affairs, so he ordered a passing family member to wait in front of the door, and he trotted all the way to report to the owner of this house, Qiao Zhiqiu, that is, Qiao Dongzhu.

"The surname is Shen...... Does she have a little red bird with her? Qiao Zhiqiu asked in surprise.

"No, she's here alone."

Qiao Qiliang was a little inexplicable.

"Hmm...... Invite her in first, no...... I went to greet it myself. ”

Qiao Zhiqiu stood up and was about to walk out.

"Master, who is this girl surnamed Shen?"

A woman about forty years old who had been sitting next to him asked with a smile, she was Qiao Zhiqiu's original wife, her actual age was already in her fifties, but because of her maintenance, she looked more than ten years younger than her real age, although the corners of her eyes were covered with crow's feet, but it could be seen that she must have been very beautiful when she was young.

Qiao Zhiqiu looked at Qiao Qi's words, and the latter retreated out of the hall with interest.

"Ma'am, do you remember what I said when I came back the other day...... Did you encounter thieves on the road? ”

Qiao Zhiqiu said softly.

"Oh, you say...... That Shen Immortal Master? ”

Mrs. Qiao asked in surprise.

"Yes, thanks to that spirit snake helping to protect the family these days, we have only had a few good night's sleeps."

Qiao Zhiqiu hurriedly walked out of the hall, and as soon as he walked outside the hall, he remembered one more thing, turned around and greeted: "Madam, you took out the earth spirit tea and spirit fruit that you prepared two days ago for hospitality."

”

"Got it, sir."

Mrs. Qiao replied with a smile.

Outside the gate, Moon Shadow stilted his feet and looked at the surrounding mansions, compared to these mansions, in addition to the advantages of science and technology, those luxury villas in the human realm are much inferior in terms of architecture, no wonder the prices of those ancient courtyard houses in Beijing have been getting higher and higher in recent years.

There was the sound of hurried footsteps behind him, and Moon Shadow turned his head to see that it was the proprietor Qiao

"Shen ......"

"Miss Shen."

Moon Shadow interrupted him.

Qiao Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then returned to normal: "Hehe, Miss Shen, the old man has never been far away, I hope to forgive my sins!" ”

"Master Qiao is polite, I'm not too late, right?"

Moon Shadow said with a smile, and a dark shadow jumped from behind Qiao Dongzhu and coiled around her wrist...... It's that poisonous python.

"It's not too late, it's not too late, Miss Shen, please go in and talk."

Qiao Zhiqiu leaned sideways and asked Moon Shadow to come in.

Qiao Qiliang, who was standing at the door, was so shocked that his jaw almost fell, for so many years, except for that reception of the city lord, the lord had never come out to greet the guests in person.

Moon Shadow followed Qiao Zhiqiu into the hall and was greeted by a middle-aged woman, behind whom stood two beautiful women in gorgeous costumes, and several young maids on either side.

"Miss Shen, this is my wife...... Well, these two are my ladies too. Qiao Zhiqiu's expression was a little embarrassed, and he glared at Mrs. Qiao, although it is not a shameful thing to have a concubine, but at this time...... It's embarrassing indeed.

Mrs. Qiao was a little wronged, these two Mrs. Ru were surrounded by their own henchmen, and when they came, how could they not come to join in the excitement when they came to greet the guests who even their husbands had to greet in person...... Thankfully, they didn't know the identity of the guest.

Such as Madame?

Moon Shadow has seen someone openly take his mistress in and out of a public place, but it is really rare for the original wife and Mrs. Ru to come out to meet guests at the same time.

After a brief hustle, Moon Shadow declines the invitation to the dinner party and follows a maid to the bedroom arranged for her.

"Master, who is this Miss Shen?"

The second lady asked tentatively, and the third lady next to her also listened attentively.

"She's the daughter of an old friend of mine, and she's going to stay here for a few months. By the way, don't ask too much, and don't go around, you know? ”

Qiao Zhiqiu said.

His words were transmitted to him by Moon Shadow, although he knew the credibility of this statement, but there were many immortal cultivators in Wilderness City, and Moon Shadow was also in line with the idea that more things were better than less - if one immortal cultivator identified his identity, he would immediately flash people.

Those two Mrs. Ru are not stupid people, Qiao Zhiqiu's words flickered, they could hear it, but they didn't intend to get to the bottom of it...... They won't do this kind of thing that is easy to make themselves fall out of favor, anyway, that girl has to live for a while, and there is a chance to inquire slowly.

The two Mrs. Ru looked at each other very ambiguously, and a thought invariably appeared in their hearts: look at their husband's attention to this Miss Shen, and vaguely avoid mentioning her life experience, it is not the illegitimate daughter he left behind outside to mess with flowers and grass.

The more Mrs. Ru thought about it, the more she thought about it, but she didn't say anything, and left the hall gracefully.

"Ma'am, what's going on?"

Qiao Zhiqiu watched the two Mrs. Ru leave dissatisfied.

"I don't know which ear is reporting the news, I can't get them away." Mrs. Qiao smiled wryly.

"Forget it, sooner or later they'll find out."

Qiao Zhiqiu waved his hand: "Pay attention to those subordinates, if the immortal master needs anything, he will do it immediately, and he doesn't need to ask me." ”

"Yes, sir"

……

The maid took Moon Shadow and walked along a bluestone path for about ten minutes until she arrived in front of a secluded courtyard. The environment here is elegant and exquisite, the courtyard wall is planted with a pole of green bamboo, there is a plaque above the courtyard gate, and the inscription is three big characters 'Xiaoxiang Pavilion'.

It seems that this Joe proprietor has put a lot of thought into it, and Moon Shadow nodded secretly, feeling very agreeable.

"Miss Shen, this is your place to live! This was originally the best courtyard in the house, and the lord ordered someone to take care of it two days ago. The maid explained softly as she led Moon Shadow into the courtyard.

"Miss Shen, the slave maid lives in the wing room next to it, if you have anything, just ask." The maid bowed and said.

"Well, you can rest first."

Moon Shadow nodded to her, turned and pushed the door open...... The maid was a well-trained man, and waited until the lights went out before returning to the house to rest.
