Just two days before Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Shen unexpectedly received an invitation in the midst of boredom.

Along with the invitation came a delicate carriage and more than a dozen accompanying guards, when Wang Shen read the words on the invitation, and then saw a group of carriages and horses parked unscrupulously at the door of the Yin Division, his heart began to wonder.

It was no one else who sent the invitation, it was the eldest lady of the Gan family who had some friendship with her, who was willing to go anywhere since she came back from the Hengduan Mountains, and was sent all the way back to Luzhou Mansion by the people of the Soldiers and Horses Division of the headquarters that day. I think it should be the commander of the soldiers and horses who supported Luzhou City, and the envoy Gan Ying got the news of the monster beasts in the mountains earlier, and the beloved daughter used such a method. It is said that the person in charge of the Gan family, who is in power in Xishu, is such an only daughter under his knees, although the entire family of the Gan family has deep roots, but the willingness to be a daughter is still detached, otherwise he would not be accepted as a closed disciple by the Taoist in charge of the Qingyang Palace.

In addition to the gilded invitation in his hand, which didn't look like a private exchange between friends, Wang Shen also noticed that the accompanying guards in front of him were also fierce, and there were more than a dozen horses for more than a dozen people, but at this moment, whether it was a horse or a person, standing solemnly at the door of this Zhiyin Division, except for the occasional sound of one or two small horse steps.

No one spoke, and all the people who spoke to Wang Shen from beginning to end were only a half-hundred old man who looked like an extremely shrewd and capable housekeeper.

While Wang Shen was pondering, the old butler was also quietly paying attention to him.

"Oh, I almost forgot, my young lady has a small gift here for the old slave to bring with him, saying that he wants to give it to Wang Xianguan. ”

The old butler slapped his head as if he remembered something, and after accusing him, he hurriedly turned around and took out a long box from the carriage behind him.

This is a delicate lacquer carved wooden box, elegant and exquisite, when Wang Shen took it, he found that his hand was extremely heavy, and when he opened the box curiously, and saw a simple long sword that appeared in front of him, his eyes shrank slightly.

He did not rush to draw his sword to examine it carefully, but quietly closed the wooden box, but did not return it to the old butler. Wang Shen's reaction was naturally seen by the other party in the eyes, and when the old housekeeper saw Wang Shen put away the sword box, he smiled and continued: "My young lady also said that as long as Wang Xianguan is willing to go to Luzhou City to meet him, Miss She will also give another generous gift. ”

"And a generous gift?"

Wang Shen finally couldn't help but show a little surprise on his face.

The old housekeeper nodded and said: "That's natural, Miss ordered, saying that Wang Xianguan is not an ordinary person, although this pine-patterned ancient sword is a relic of a Taoist immortal in the previous dynasty, but it is not a very good thing, just thinking that Wang Xianguan is good at swordsmanship, but lacks a good sword, so he personally picked an old slave from the arsenal and sent it." ”

Wang Shen sighed when he heard this and said, "Miss Gan's heart is understood, but this Chinese New Year's Eve night, the food is all family banquets, it's not appropriate to invite me to go, right? After all, this is not Miss Gan's business alone......

The old housekeeper smiled and said: "This Wang Xianguan can rest assured, the family banquet in the mansion is divided into many large and small, if Wang Xianguan feels a little restrained, the young lady also said that a separate garden has been prepared for Wang Xianguan to stay and rest." ”

After a pause, the old housekeeper seemed to hesitate for a moment, but finally added: "Miss said that she should have come to invite Wang Xianguan in person, but as the New Year approached, there were too many mundane things in the house, so I ordered the old slave to come and take a trip, and asked Wang Xianguan to accompany him with a face." ”

The dignified eldest lady of the Gan family took a lot of trouble to invite herself to be a little errand officer who held the Yin Division? Even if she knew that she had been transferred to the Spring Courtyard by Ding Fu to be a soul hoe, it shouldn't be enough to make her so attentive, right? And she seemed to be very afraid that she would refuse, not only did she directly send such a sword from the former dynasty that even a layman like Wang Shen could see at a glance that was worth a lot of money, but also let the housekeeper bring so many good words.

But since there is still a generous gift...... Anyway, I'm idle, and it's okay to go there. And I heard Xiaobai say that this Luzhou City is barely a good place, in the territory of Xishu, even CD City is a dilapidated place in Xiaobai's eyes, and it is rare that there is a place where she can praise two sentences, this time it is just to see and see.

"In this case, it is better to obey the fate than to be respectful, and the old gentleman is tired to lead the way. ”

After speaking, Wang Shen and the old housekeeper arched their hands and got into the carriage directly, the old housekeeper was obviously relieved when he saw this, they rushed from Luzhou City to this CD City overnight, not to mention hundreds of miles, but at this moment they did not stop at all, and when Wang Shen got into the carriage, the group turned around and went directly to the east gate of the city.

After Wang Shen followed the people of the Gan family to leave, a person came out of the Bliss Immortal Restaurant opposite the door of the Yin Division, this person was none other than the young man Wang Shen saw that day, who helped Gan Xin Daoqing and others outside the city to lure away Luo Mazi, the elder of the Imperial Ghost Sect, and sat opposite the bitter-faced immortal official Shen He the next day.

The young man stood at the door of the Bliss Restaurant, watching all the way until the Gan family's men and horses completely disappeared from view, and when he passed by the fortune-telling booth next to the restaurant, which was there almost every day, he actually showed a mysterious smile to the fortune teller who had not had much business for several days.

The fortune teller glanced at him, remained silent, and continued to shake the feather fan in his hand. It was already a bitterly cold day, and the pedestrians on the road had no time to wrap themselves tightly in cotton clothes, but he was still pretending to shake the feather fan in his hand.

Looking at his pretended to be tall, the young man snorted lightly and strode away.

Not long after, snow began to fall again in CD City, and the snow became heavier and heavier, but in half an hour, it turned into a heavy snow of goose feathers.

There were only a few shops left on the street because of the end of the year, and the fortune teller was the only one who was still sitting on the lonely fortune-telling stall unconsciously, and he did not stop shaking the hand of the feather fan unhurriedly, and then looked at his contemplative appearance as if he was thinking of some big problem that could not be solved, and he was even unconscious that a thick layer of snow had fallen on his head and shoulders.

Finally, a hawker who hurried by and hurried home couldn't bear to remind him loudly: "Old man, the snow is falling heavily, hurry up and close the stall!

The fortune teller slowly came back to his senses, and he turned to look at the vendor who was shouting at him, but he saw only a fading back, and as he turned his head, a large piece of snow fell overhead and spilled on the bridge of his eyebrows, eyes and nose.

"No wonder I can't see it, it's snowing......"

After saying this inexplicable sentence, the fortune teller stood up slowly, shook off the snow on his body, and left without caring about his fortune teller stall who still relied on it to eat and sleep.
