Compared to Christmas Eve, Christmas seems a little more deserted in China, but many merchants have taken the opportunity to decorate their stores: or put Christmas trees full of various small gifts at the door, or put various stickers and lanterns in line with the holiday theme on the glass windows.

Tao Yaoyao stopped in front of a shop window, because the picture in the window was so beautiful: on the crystal car pulled by the crystal elk was a girl with two braids, a silver dress and crystal slippers, the girl held the reins in both hands, looked ahead, seemed to see something beautiful, smiled so that her eyes were full of stars, and sweet dimples appeared on her round face.

Zhang Xiaowei, who was walking in front, found that Tao Yaoyao was lost while walking, and turned back to look for Tao Yaoyao, and saw her staring at the window of the shopping mall in a daze, and patted her shoulder: "Sister Yaoyao, what are you looking at?"

"Did you say that Cinderella in the window looked a little like me?"

"How can you compare to her!" Zhang Xiaowei was unhappy when he saw Tao's expression, as if he knew that he had said the wrong thing, and said, "How can she compare with you?" It's just a fictional fairy tale character, Mr. Yu is really true to you!"

Tao Xiaoyao didn't say anything, no longer glanced at the window, carried the bag of fruits and vegetables in her hand, kicked her mid-heel boots heavily, and rushed downstairs to the mall, as if someone had her off.

Zhang Xiaowei was at a loss, and reacted that the person had gone away, so he hurriedly pulled out his legs to chase after him.

Back at Zhang Xiaowei's house, a young man in a black uniform was waiting at the door of Zhang Xiaowei's house with a box that looked very weighty.

Zhang Xiaowei was a little confused: "May I ask who you are?"

"Deliver the courier."

"I didn't buy anything, did I? Did you send it by mistake? ”

The courier politely said to Tao Yao next to him: "International Express, please sign for Miss Tao."

Tao Yao was stunned for a while, seemed to think of something, and signed it.

The express box was a little heavy to pick up, and Tao Xiaoyao took it to the house to open it, and sure enough, there was a sophisticated safe box inside, and the password needed to be entered.

"What, is it necessary to be so mysterious?" Disgusted, Tao Yao threw the half-opened package on the sofa and went to the kitchen with the ingredients he bought.

Zhang Xiaowei continued to unpack the half-dismantled package, and found that there was still a letter at the bottom of the carton. I simply took out the letter and the safety box, put it on the sofa, and lost the outer box.

Before Zhang Xiaowei finished throwing away the garbage, "Ah! With a painful cry, Zhang Xiaowei hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

The thick smell of burnt paste hit the face, and the oil pan on the natural gas stove was blazing.

Zhang Xiaowei hurriedly pushed Tao Yaoyao out of the kitchen, then closed the kitchen door, and fought alone: turn off the stove, add water to the pot, push open the window, and turn on the range hood......

Tao Yao panicked and called 119.

When Zhang Xiaowei won the battle and came out with a black face, just as the firefighters also arrived, Zhang Xiaowei's face became even darker, and he hurriedly explained the situation to the firefighters.

After sending away the firefighters, Zhang Xiaowei wanted to say that Tao was dying, but when he saw her aggrieved appearance nested in the sofa, the cruel words on his lips became: "I'm going to cook."

Tao Xiaoyao only now feels that after leaving home and leaving her parents, she can't do anything, and even stir-fry almost burns the kitchen. It's useless to be yourself!

The mobile phone message ringtone that she threw on the glass tea drawer suddenly rang, she hurriedly took the mobile phone to read the message, and sure enough, it was sent by Yu Wenmu:

"Did you receive a gift? Open it up and take a look!"

Tao Xiaoyao remembered that the package that she was disgusted with had been opened by Zhang Xiaowei at this time and placed on the sofa with a letter.

She opened the letter, and inside was a photo of the car Yu Wenmu had given her, but the location of the license plate number was mosaic.

Did he want to tell her that the answer to the lockbox was her license plate number?

Try typing: "NQT623"

Sure enough, the password safe opened, and there was a special anti-collision extrusion gift box inside.

Tao Yaoyao took out the gift box, a little heavy, the moment he opened the box, the room was full of gold.

What was in the box turned out to be a golden phoenix crown.

The whole phoenix crown is composed of nine dragons and nine phoenixes, the nine dragons spiral up to the top, the dragon's mouth contains the east pearl, the nine phoenixes are around the dragon body, the phoenix tail is inlaid with red and blue pearls, the crested mouth contains the east pearl, the eyes are inlaid with jade, the whole is luxurious and atmospheric.

It's just that this dragon does not resemble the form after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the dragon head is prominent, and the dragon body is like a totem symbol.

It's just that in history classes, as well as related unearthed artifacts from the Northern and Southern Dynasties, I have never seen such exquisite cultural relics. This phoenix crown is bright and very new, if it is an imitation, what is it imitated?

Could it be ......

Tao Yaoyao took the phoenix crown in her hand and observed it carefully, but she didn't want to feel warm to the touch in such a cold weather, as if the warmth came from the material of the phoenix crown itself. And when she looked closely, she still couldn't see any marks of modern machining.

Could it be that the imitation craftsman carved it by hand throughout the process?

But from what is it modeled after?

Is it difficult or is it original by craftsmen?

Tao Yaoyao looked at the phoenix crown out of his mind, Zhang Xiaowei came out with the fried dishes, his eyes glanced at the things in Tao Yaoyao's hand, and his eyes lit up.

"Mr. Yu is really generous, but a little Christmas, he gave you such a valuable gift!"

Tao Yaoyao put the things back in the box and stared at Zhang Xiaowei with a curious expression, not letting go of any of his expressions. He seemed to admire it, but he wasn't surprised.

"Zhang Xiaowei, tell me the truth, what does Mr. Yu do besides opening an entertainment company?"

She couldn't help but think of that time, Yu Wenmu took her back to her home, but when she came out, she was forced to be blindfolded, and the area where his house was located was cut off from the outside world, in short, it was very mysterious.

"Mr. Yu also likes to collect in his spare time, and I really don't know about the rest, don't ask me again."

The more Zhang Xiaowei said that he didn't know, Tao Xiaoxiao felt that he knew more, but she didn't continue to ask, because she knew that she would not get results if she continued to ask, unless Yu Wenmu told her herself.

"Let's eat! The food will be cold later!"

"Okay."

Tao Xiaoyao sandwiched a chopsticks of the most homely tomato scrambled eggs, but I didn't expect the entrance to be soft, with the sweetness of tomatoes, and the fragrance of green onions with appropriate shades. The same is true for other dishes, even if it is a simple dish of water spinach stir-fried pork and hemp, he can also make the dish medium-rare, and the minced meat is crispy and delicious.

Tao Yaoyao put down the dishes and chopsticks, gave him a thumbs up, and spoke slurred speech due to chewing food in his mouth: "Hmm...... Delicious! Zhang Xiaowei, I didn't expect you to be so good at cooking!"

"That's it! The requirements for being Mr. Yu's assistant are too high, and he really has to be able to go up to the hall and get to the kitchen! That's not enough!"

"What else?"

Zhang Xiaowei's words are convincing: "It is also necessary to establish the concept of lifelong learning, constantly update knowledge, and improve skills."

Tao Yaoyao laughed "poof": "Why does it sound like reciting "Teacher's Professional Ethics"?"

"Wrong, this is the "Yule Professional Code"!"

The atmosphere of dinner was enlivened by the so-called "Yule Professional Code", and Tao Yaoyao and Zhang Xiaowei forgot about the unpleasantness that happened today.

Before going to bed, Zhang Xiaowei instructed Tao Yaoyao: "You have to take this gift from Mr. Yu today, and don't show it to others at will."

"Okay." Tao Xiaoxiao nodded and agreed, but she was still very confused in her heart.

How can she wear this thing? Unless she's a big star, filming!

But knowing that it was useless to her, why did he send it? Do you want to take care of it?

There's only one reason, isn't he a collector? It may be that this object is too eye-catching, and it will cause trouble if it is placed next to him, so he changed his way and put it next to her and let her keep it.

Thinking like this, Tao Yaoyao was a little annoyed, how did she feel that she was being used by Yu Wenmu's guy?

As Zhang Xiaowei said, Yu Wenmu has a habit of cleanliness, so his mattress is cleaned and replaced by Zhang Xiaowei every time he sleeps, and even if Tao Xiaoxiao lies on his bed, he can't feel any of his breath.

However, she slept unusually peacefully, and even had a strange dream for the first time:

A strange room is antique, the golden gauze ancient tent is embroidered with a picture of the dragon and the phoenix, and there is a bride on the bed wearing a luxurious wedding dress and a red turban covered with a golden phoenix, but her feet are not wearing red embroidered shoes, but black embroidered gold embroidered boots, and the toes of the boots are curled up, which is the same as the boots of the northern ethnic minorities in the Wei and Jin dynasties. Her hands were clasped tightly, as if she was a little nervous.

The candle flame on the golden platform outside the tent swayed, the red candle of the coiled dragon and the phoenix "squeaked" and burned, and the orange-red flame seemed to ripple like a clear spring.

A man in a dark embroidered gold dragon robe broke in, he kept his head down, seemed to be drunk, stumbled as he walked, and finally groped his way to the side of the happy bed.

He held the gold scale in the tray on the counter next to him, faced the bride, and finally raised his head.

A heroic face, well-defined, three-dimensional facial features, smooth and delicate light wheat-colored skin, and a camel-red face. When he opened his eyes, it was a pair of light brown eyes, which were filled with wine at this time, with a bit of confusion, which made people unable to see through the bottom.

A hint of anger suddenly rose in his eyes, and he threw the bride down on the bed without removing the gold scales and hijab.

The bride struggled desperately, but he still took off her gorgeous clothes......

He stopped abruptly.

Because, the bride's left X is empty, and there are only hideous and terrible scars there.

Tao Xiaoyao woke up suddenly, almost out of breath.

The dream in her mind was still the dream just now, the hideous and terrible scar on the bride's chest, she felt pain when she thought about it.

Instinctively, she stroked the left side of her chest, where there seemed to be a dull ache as well.

She hurriedly adjusted her sleeping position, and no longer dared to sleep with her heart pressed to the left side.

Wait, why is what happened in the dream so familiar?

And the bride's body is mutilated...... Isn't it what happened to the heroine in "Northern Zhou"?

- Ashina Ying and his relatives came to Zhou, but were obstructed by the assassins sent by Qi on the way, and his left chest was poisoned by Jane, and he had to be cut off in order to save his life, so that his body was mutilated.

Tao Yao has a weak heart, it must be that she is too involved in writing novels and abuses the heroine too badly, so that she has such a dream.

The next plot of the novel, let's give the male and female protagonists some sweetness, don't dream like this again!

Tao Yaoyao folded her hands and prayed to the dark surroundings.
