Taichen glanced at He Angelica, who was settled by the old monk, and saw that this little girl's performance seemed to be very familiar with these people, why not put a set of clues from her mouth? Thinking of this, Taichen showed a pulling smile on his face, and even his thick voice became gentle: "What medicine did Miss He take at home before?" I'll send it to you when I get back. ”

He Angelica raised his head and smiled when he heard this: "Don't work too hard for me, the day after tomorrow at the latest, my medicine will come." ”

Although Taichen didn't understand the meaning, he didn't think about it anymore. He Angelica resigned, anyway, it was a polite remark, if He Angelica really wanted this medicine and that medicine, he would only pay lip service to him. Taichen asked tentatively: "Seeing that the two of them are walking in such a hurry, I don't know what they are busy with?" ”

He Angelica showed a retrospective look, and said intermittently: "It seems to be vaguely heard...... 'Patrolling' or something, but I guess I heard it wrong...... They didn't have any good medicine in the capital, so they came here to find some herbs. After that, he covered his mouth suddenly, looked at Taichen nervously and smiled, "I, I'm just talking to myself casually, these words, Mrs. Shi shouldn't have heard them!" ”

Despite his best efforts to suppress it, Taichen's face still showed some excitement, Taichen hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Then...... Yesterday the guests called you over to chat, did they mention what they do for a living? ”

He Angelica shook his head: "A few guests were just curious about my experience, so they asked a few more questions, but they didn't say a word about themselves, Taishan Shitai was also present at that time, but ......"

"But what?" Taichen asked eagerly.

He Angelica lowered his head, frowned in embarrassment, his eyes flickered twice, and he muttered: "I only heard a few fragmentary words, and I really didn't dare to learn nonsense, but...... After Mrs. Taishan and I walked out the door, I did hear the word 'drug' spoken by the people in the room. Therefore, I dare not accept the medicine sent by this Duan Gongzi today......"

Taichen's eyes lit up amazingly, she paced the spot quickly twice before she calmed down, and said with a smile: "Miss He, you sit slowly, I still have something to do in the backyard, so I won't accompany you, I'll dispense medicine for you another day." ”

He Angelica took one last look at her and said sincerely: "Take care of the teacher." ”

Looking at Taichen's disappearing back, a sneer was printed on the corner of He Angelica's mouth. Being smart is mistaken by being smart, which is about a portrayal of too dust.

Glancing thoughtfully at the statue of Sanqing, He Angelica smiled again, Taichen was too excited just now, so he forgot to take a snack. After tonight, she will no longer have the leisure to pick up this bag of snacks, so don't waste it, you might as well take it back and treat Zhenjing.

※※※

Autumn is crisp, and the afternoon sun is gradually blazing, greedily steaming away the moisture from the ground.

"Zhenwei, come here!" Taichen beckoned in the courtyard, and a tall and thin Taoist aunt in her twenties ran over and asked diligently, "Master, the Lei Pozi who delivered the goods just now has arrived again, did we ask her to buy wine and meat?" ”

Taichen waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, don't come to me to ask me about this kind of big fart, ask the old lady about everything, I haven't seen the big apprentice who is too good to do things, you can also learn from the old lady!" ”

Zhen Wei looked angry and didn't dare to speak, Taichen took out a small ingot of earth silver from his arms, checked it in his hand, thought for a moment and took out a bunch of money, stared at Zhen Wei with his eyes and said: "I will give you an important matter, if you can do it, I will admit that you are a person who is stronger than Zhenzhu, and you will have benefits in the future." ”

Zhen Wei excitedly glanced at the silver ingot in Taichen's hand, nodded vigorously, and said, "Although the master commands, the apprentice has long wanted to show his ability. ”

Taichen raised his eyes and looked around at no one, before he said in a low voice: "Listen, you first go to a few sisters-in-law who are collecting firewood in Guanli, dismantle this hanging money and give it to them, and ask them if they have met the guests of the West Chamber in the mountains in the past few days." If the sisters-in-law say that you have seen guests wandering around the mountains these days, you should go to the kitchen again and give the silver ingot to the newly hired chef, and let him make me a big banquet on the table. It's better than the kind that is usually too good for him to do, do you understand? ”

Zhenwei nodded hesitantly, obviously he didn't remember everything, but he didn't dare to ask. Taichen was so angry that she scolded her mother, said it again, and asked Zhenwei to repeat it again, before nodding and letting her go.

There is a way to step through the iron shoes and find nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them...... Taichen stood alone in the courtyard, the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and finally laughed proudly. On the other side of the wall, He Angelica, who was carrying a large oiled paper bag, also smiled slightly.

He Angelica walked all the way back to the East Chamber, and he didn't meet anyone else on the way, but before he stepped into the door of the East Chamber, he heard a man's voice inside, very similar to Duan Xiaolou's voice. He Angelica frowned slightly, slowed down his pace and walked in, only to see Zhenzhu, Zhenjing, Duan Xiaolou and Liao Zhiyuan standing under the corridor, as if talking about something happy, and everyone had a smile on their faces.

Liao Zhiyuan was dressed in blue, and Duan Xiaolou was dressed in a crimson robe. The ears of the two were amazingly good, although they had their backs to the courtyard gate, but the moment He Angelica walked in, the two of them felt a sense of it, and looked back at her at the same time.

Liao Zhiyuan greeted with a smile: "Miss He, don't come to harm, you are so slow to walk, Duan Shao and I can go back and forth twenty times." Duan Xiaolou smiled on the side.

He Angelica smiled faintly: "I saw you at noon, and I saw you in the afternoon, and I met very often." ”

Liao Zhiyuan put his arm on Duan Xiaolou's shoulder and sighed: "My stupid brother actually offended the girl for some reason, just now our group is busy doing business, but he has been in a daze." As the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell, so I had to bring him to make amends to the girl. Duan Xiaolou punched him angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, obviously you said that you came to the East Chamber to find clues, let me accompany you over......"

Zhenzhu looked at the two of them funny, turned her head to He Angelica and said, "Sister, there is something important right now, I have long wanted to ask someone to do it, but I can't catch the right person for a while." I didn't expect these two ministers to be warm-hearted people, I mentioned it casually just now, and they said they were willing to help, it's really rare! Seeing He Angelica's puzzled face, Zhenzhu explained, "You have a good thing, and the happiest person is not others, but your mother." Although the Luo family will notify her when they get the letter, it is better for us to send someone first and bring a letter from you to explain the matter. ”

Mother? He Angelica's heart was filled with a sour wave. It's false to say that I don't want to see her immediately, and from the first night I woke up, I thought about my mother the most. However, if she doesn't gain a firm foothold in the Luo family, letting her mother come back from Sanqingguan will only make her ostracized. If you can write a letter to your mother, untie her knots, and then make an appointment...... Thinking of this, He Angelica's eyes moistened slightly, looked up at Duan Liao and the others, and asked urgently: "That Yurong Mountain is six hundred miles away, are you really willing to help?" ”

Looking at the little face in front of him, not to mention Duan Xiaolou, even Liao Zhiyuan couldn't help but nod again and again and promised: "This matter is on us, and there is our letter 'Scud' at the bottom of the mountain, and it will be delivered tonight at the latest." "Scud is a combined name for a man and a horse, the horse's foot is 800 miles a day, and the person's foot is 200 miles a day, and it is a good hand at delivering letters, second only to the 800 miles relay of the imperial court. Whether it is a waterway, a mountain road, a high cliff, or a deep valley, there is no letter that the scud can't deliver.

He Angelica couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and dropped a sentence in his mouth: "Wait a while, I'll go to repair the book immediately!" As he spoke, he ran into the house with his feet up, forgetting to even thank him.

Such a girl with a true temperament is many times cuter than her previous gentle and detached appearance, so Duan Xiaolou and Liao Zhiyuan not only did not feel rude, but invariably smiled.

Zhenzhu also smiled slightly when she saw this scene, turned around and brought a basket of red fruits and green pears, and said, "There is no good tea to entertain the two, but the fruit is fresh, the two of you are waiting while eating, right?" Duan Liao and the others didn't push, lifted the hem and sat down on the stone steps in front of the door, took the fruit, thanked him and began to eat.

Zhenjing followed He Angelica into the house and said with a smile: "I didn't expect them to be such good people!" It's almost different from the officials I've seen before, ...... that day" couldn't help but mention the first time I met them in the mountains, He Angelica hurriedly covered her mouth, afraid that she would say something related to "fugitives". Duan Liao and the others are both masters, and they can use their internal strength to improve their six senses, and eavesdropping on others is commonplace. Zhenjing knew that she was speechless, shrunk her head, and lay on the table to watch He Angelica write.

The pen, ink, paper, inkstone and envelope were all brought by Zhenzhu this morning, He Angelica was secretly grateful to Zhenzhu in her heart, she put herself in her shoes, and thought about herself so thoroughly. It's a pity that such a good woman stays in the Taoist temple all her life, even if she doesn't want to remarry, in fact, she can have a better life.

Thinking so, two pages were already written. After a little thought, He Angelica drew a small mark at the end of the letter.

"It's ...... Piglet? Zhenjing tilted her head in wonder, "Although I don't know how to read, but I can understand painting, why did you draw a little pig for your mother?" Lovely though......"

He Angelica grimaced: "This is my zodiac." "It's so quiet.

After carefully drying the ink, he packed the letter, He Angelica walked to the door, handed the letter to Duan Xiaolou, and said sincerely: "Thank you for your help, I am grateful." "Scuds are messengers that ordinary people can't hire for money, except for the government, only the big families have Scuds. Originally, He Angelica planned to wait for himself to go down the mountain to make money, and then hire someone to go to Yurong Mountain to deliver the letter, but now it is at least ten days earlier than expected, how can she not be happy.

Duan Xiaolou put the letter into his arms and said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, I'll go down the mountain and hand over the letter to Scud, and say goodbye!" As he spoke, he kicked the ground, and he rose into the air and flew away on the eaves.

At this time, not only He Angelica and the three of them were taken aback, but even Liao Zhiyuan was stuck in his throat by the pear core: "cough cough cough, you wait, cough, me!" After beating his chest a few times, Liao Zhiyuan finally swallowed the pear core and looked at He Angelica with a wry smile: "I have worked with him for many years, and I have never seen him like this in any urgent errands." Miss He, I've served you. ”

He Angelica smiled: "This time I owe two a great favor, this favor will be repaid, the little girl remembered it in her heart." Liao Zhiyuan waved his hand and shouted "Go", and a silver light flew out from the cuffs of the blue power suit. I saw that his whole body jumped onto the courtyard wall with this silver light, and disappeared into the wall in a blink of an eye. Since everything happened in an instant, it looked as if his person had disappeared out of thin air.

Seeing the incredible expressions on Zhenjing and Zhenzhu's faces, He Angelica explained to them: "He should have wrapped a thin steel cable around his wrist, and the other end of the steel cable was connected to a claw-shaped hidden weapon, and when he used it, he first hit the hidden weapon to the other side of the wall, and then flew away with the power of the steel cable." ”

Zhenjing and Zhenzhu nodded suddenly, Zhenzhu was very surprised: "At your young age, you have such extensive knowledge, and it is the first time I have seen such a master at this age." ”

He Angelica smiled "fluttering": "Sister Fanghua Erba, how can you speak in a tone like my old lady." But then again, in fact, they walked down the mountain faster at the main gate of the Taoist Temple, which is really strange, why do they want to jump over the wall by flying the eaves and walking on the wall. ”

Zhen Jingbai glanced at her: "In order to show you cool, even fools can see it." ”

※※※

Zhen Wei panted to Fumian Courtyard, found Taichen, and reported while panting: "According to Master's instructions, I first went to ask Huai Yan who was collecting firewood on the mountain every day...... More than once, they said, they had seen guests walking up and down the mountains as if they were looking for something. After that, I went to the new cook, Liu Laojiu, and gave him the five taels of silver, so that he could set up a big banquet for us according to the best grade...... He said that the materials are good, but he can't make a 'perfect banquet' for five taels of silver, and he can only make a 'sixty-six feast' for three taels of silver. ”

Taichen stared at Zhenwei's face and asked nervously, "You say it again, what did they say?" Think about it, you can't miss a word! ”

Zhenwei replied cautiously, "They said...... More than once, I saw guests wandering around the mountains, as if looking for something. They also went up to ask the guests if they were lost, and if they needed to lead the way. But the guests said no, they just walked around. ”

Taichen looked happy while thinking, and then took out a silver grain the size of a broad bean from his cuff, and instructed: "You go to the kitchen again, give this to Liu Laojiu, and tell him that I will add two taels of silver and make me two tables of '66 Shun Banquet'." The extra one or two is his salary, so he must do it for me! "Zhenwei took the money and left.

Taichen shouted into the courtyard again: "Zhengong, you come!" ”

Zhen Gongsheng, who was drying herbs in the courtyard, ran in and asked happily, "Master, is there something to order?" Watching Zhenwei run in and out, handling "important affairs", she was really red-eyed.

Taichen glanced at her and said, "You change into a set of clean clothes, go and stand in front of the mountain gate, and when those guests come back, tell them that I will have a banquet for them in Fumian Courtyard tonight, and ask them to enjoy the light." Seeing Zhen Gong's excited face, Taichen frowned and added, "You should be steady, and your attitude should be polite...... If you can't get someone, beware that I've skinned you! "I promised to go down and change my clothes.

Taichen thought about it for a while, and summoned a few people from the inner hall to clean the room and courtyard, light the most expensive agarwood in the incense burner, and then take out all the precious ornaments in the box and place them in a conspicuous place.

In such a hurry, within an hour, the entire Taoist temple was shocked.

You must know that Taichen is a well-known iron rooster in the Taoist temple, and he does not pull out a hair. On weekdays, when a low-ranking Dao Gu got sick and went to receive medicine, she not only had to pay nine copper coins for "offering money to the gods", but also said that "if you don't give medicine to the gods, you can't cure the disease". And you can only get three days' worth of medicine at a time, and if you can't get better after three days, you have to add nine more "god money", and so on. Therefore, it was obviously a medicine house set up by the public school, but in the hands of Taichen, it became her tool for collecting money.

This time, Taichen unprecedentedly paid out of his own pocket and held the best banquet to entertain a group of strangers, how could people not be shocked and drop their jaws? It is rumored that the wine and food that Taichen pays for by himself is several times better than the money that Taichen makes good use of the money of the Taoist temple, which is really generous. Taishan was very angry when he heard about it, and was persuaded by Zhenzhu, who had just returned from the East Chamber.
