As they were playing, they didn't notice that the sound of the flute on the opposite wall had stopped.

The night is as cold as water, and the autumn rain adds a touch of coldness.

In the courtyard of the new resident next to the Chu Mansion, a man wearing an ink-colored robe and a black fashion was standing under the porch.

The two lights under the corridor were blown by the autumn wind and swayed around, and the man's face was not obvious. However, judging from the curvature of the corners of his mouth-

He's laughing.

"Master." Someone behind him came from the other end of the corridor, it was Ah Shuang, who was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and the look on his face was as cold as his name.

Duan Jiu Ye said "um" in response, and his gaze still fell on the high wall that was only three feet away from him. There seemed to be laughter coming from outside the walls.

Ah Shuang withdrew her eyes.

"I'm going to pay a prayer to the Chu Governor's Mansion tomorrow." He retracted his gaze and said indifferently.

Ah Shuang was stunned, and a different emotion finally appeared on her frosty face, and she reacted after a while.

"Yes." He said.

Duan Jiuye pulled Da Xian and took a few steps back, holding a jade flute in his hand.

"Lady, listen, the flute is gone." Chunxi was the first to react, and then pulled the sleeve of Yue Niangzi and said.

Yue Niangzi tilted her head and listened carefully, "It's really gone, I didn't notice it just now, it's still a great spring." ”

"Lady, you've been absent-minded these days, didn't something happen? That's not right, if something happens to the lady, I'll definitely know. She shook her head.

Yue Niangzi glanced at her, and then touched her hairy head helplessly.

"Where will there be anything, the food and clothing in this Chu Mansion are good, and the subordinates are also respectful." She explained with a smile, "It's just that I seem to miss Aunt Liu a little." ”

Compared with this huge Chu Mansion, she seems to prefer the remote mountain village, or the crooked jujube tree in the small courtyard, and the stuffed jujube in winter.

"Chunxi, let's go outside tomorrow and buy some stuffed dates." Yue Niangzi opened her mouth to propose.

Although she can order her subordinates to go out to buy at any time here, she always feels that it is best to pick it up herself.

Chunxi's eyes lit up.

"Really?" She raised her voice violently, and the girl's sweet voice penetrated the wall and reached the ears of Ah Shuang, who was sent to listen to the corner of the wall, and he trembled violently.

"Stuffed dates, Liu Ji in the east of the city." He nodded to indicate that he remembered, and quickly ran towards the inner courtyard with his fists and kicks.

The next day, the weather was bright, and it was a rare sunny day in late autumn.

Yue Niangzi went out with the front foot of Chunxi, and the back foot concierge received a greeting. A few gilded characters on the pitch-black prayer post made people's eyes tremble, and they had just been swept away by the drowsiness caused by the sun.

"This, this, this...... It's not that I'm wrong! Then the servant shoved the sleepy steward who was sitting next to him and woke him up.

The steward scolded and got up, "What's the matter to bother me, if you don't have me, you little rabbit cub can't eat and walk around, hum." ”

The servant who took the post handed it over tremblingly.

The steward took it.

"Yo, gilt stickers, I haven't seen them here in Los Angeles yet." He muttered to himself, and then read the handwriting on the sticker—

Sky!

He shuddered with fright, no better than the servant just now.

"Cheng... Cheng Guogong.... ......" he muttered, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down his forehead.

"Quick, go and inform the master. What about the person who came to hand over the post just now? He hurriedly ordered, "Forget it, I'll hand it to the master myself, this Chengguo Gong is a big man, what are you doing in this Los Angeles?" He muttered to himself.

After ordering the servant to stop talking, he could naturally see the urgency on the steward's face, "That... The messenger handed over the post and left. He was crying in his throat, obviously horrified.

The steward gave him a fierce look, and then quickly took the post and ran to the inner courtyard.

"This... I can't be blamed for this, he just let it go and left, and he didn't speak. The servant stomped his foot as the steward departed.

At this time, the two Yue Niangzi had already arrived in the east of the city.

The east of the city is not a rich place, and it is nothing compared to the west of the city, where high-ranking officials and nobles are gathered.

Because the people who live here are ordinary people or businessmen who do some small business.

Therefore, there are many vendors in this place, and they are varied.

But it's also not something that those dignitaries can look at.

Therefore, the two delicately dressed girls walked here, which was really eye-catching.

The vendors on both sides greeted each other lively, selling everything, and it was dazzling to see.

The two finally arrived at Liu Ji in the east of the city, and before they entered the store, they smelled a burst of melons and fruits, which were the favorite snacks of the ordinary people.

The price is not expensive, a few copper plates can buy a large bag.

"Are there any stuffed dates?" Chu Anran walked to the front of the store and looked inside.

When the shopkeeper saw her, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

"Yes, yes." He said happily, and then beckoned Mrs. Yue in.

"This is a good winter jujube with wild jujube nectar, the girl came to taste it? If the girl is not in a hurry, she can go and sit in the room, and let me make a pot of hot tea, which is a rare delicacy with dates. He called into the room, and then a middle-aged woman came out of the room.

"Come in and sit down, girl, there's tea in there." The woman said.

"Yes, I'm sorry for you." Chu Anran nodded and said, and then followed the woman into the house, with Chunxi following behind.

"It turns out that the people of Los Angeles are so good." She pouted and sighed in surprise.

The shopkeeper standing behind was stunned when he heard this, and then touched the cold sweat on his forehead.

A young man with a cold face came in from outside the door, threw a bulging purse at the shopkeeper, and then quickly retreated, and the shopkeeper took the purse and nodded and sent the man out.

"It's weird." He smiled and shook his head, then tossed his purse.

"Whatever, if you have money, you can make it." He muttered to himself.

Lady Yue followed the woman into the inner room.

"The girl will sit here for a while, and the old man will go make tea." The woman turned sideways, and Lady Yue was able to see this small inner room clearly.

Small but cosy furnished.

On top of that, there was already a man sitting inside, a man.

The woman went out sideways, leaving the two of them standing in front of the door of the inner room.

Moreover......

Yue Niangzi frowned slightly, and the man who was drinking tea with his head down inside was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

"I'm sorry." She said respectfully, and Chunxi looked at the man curiously.

The man looked up at the right time, revealing a pair of deep, dark eyes.

"You ......" Yue Niangzi subconsciously said.

"You're the man who saved us in the ruined temple!" Chunxi raised her voice in surprise, and quickly covered her mouth after realizing that she was out of shape.

Yue Niangzi also reacted.

"What a coincidence." She spoke.

The man let out an "um".

Then he raised his chin, "Unfortunately, sit." He spoke a second time.
