After Zhao Ziyi was silent for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Actually...... Zhao has been living in that yard for a long time, although relying on the meager money of running a private school, he can only barely meet his daily needs, but Zhao is still reluctant to meet the group of children in the yard. ”

Also, Cheng Yuxi remembered that Zhao Ziyi got acquainted with Cheng Yuxi precisely because he came to Cheng's house to sell books to raise money for the children.

"Mr. Zhao's noble character is beyond my reach. But Mr. Zhao, have you ever thought that you can have both fish and bear's paws? Cheng Yuxi said.

Zhao Ziyi paused for a moment, not quite understanding what Cheng Yuxi meant by this, he frowned, and said, "Zhao is stupid, please ask Miss Cheng to mention something?" ”

After Cheng Yuxi took a sip of sour plum soup, he smiled faintly and said: "If Mr. Zhao wants to continue to teach these children, you can take advantage of the evening to teach them, if I remember correctly, Mr. Ouyang Family's bookkeeper is actually not very busy, half of them only need to check the accounts during the day, and by the afternoon, there will be nothing to do at all." ”

Zhao Ziyi has never been a bookkeeper, so he doesn't know the rules of the bookkeeper's life, after hearing Cheng Yuxi's words, he said: "This ...... If it is really as Miss Cheng said, then Zhao can continue to teach those children to read while working for Mr. Ouyang Yu! Zhao Ziyi's emotions were a little excited, and he said: "Miss Cheng is really smart and clever!" ”

Cheng Yuxi smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Zhao praised it falsely. ”

After she and Tang Xian's Yangchun noodles were served, Zhao Ziyi's face still had an excited look, at this time, a few children suddenly ran over from the side, and after seeing Zhao Ziyi, they rushed over in a swarm, and said in a chattering voice: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Zhao, look at you, this is a big bird!" This is a butterfly! ”

Zhao Ziyi was surrounded by a group of children, and he did not appear at a loss, but coaxed these noisy children to quiet down with ease.

After Cheng Yuxi saw it, he admired it very much: If any girl can marry Zhao Ziyi in the future, I am afraid that there will be no headache because of the naughty nature of children in the future.

After chatting with Zhao Ziyi for a while, the sky was completely dark, and after Zhao Ziyi said goodbye to Cheng Yuxi, he left with a group of children.

Tang Yan silently finished eating the Yangchun noodles in his bowl, and then said, "Miss Cheng, let's go back together." ”

The taste of this bowl of Yangchun noodles is very strong, which makes Cheng Yuxi have a great appetite, and after eating, he is still a little unsatisfied, and says, "Yes." The noodles in this shop are really good, and you can come back more often in the future. ”

Tang Yan nodded and said, "Sour plum soup, it's delicious." ”

After the two of them paid the money, they left with the pile of things they had bought today.

Although it was completely dark, there were still many people in the market, and on the way back, the two of them happened to pass a small bridge, and there were many people putting lanterns under the bridge. Countless lanterns with a warm yellow glow drift along the dark water, and hazy shadows swim on the water, which is beautiful.

Cheng Yuxi and Tang Xi were a little fascinated, so they ran to the person who bought the lanterns together, bought two beautiful lanterns, and planned to put them on the water together like them.

The lantern seller smiled and handed them a brush and said, "The two girls can write some of their wishes on this lantern, and after drifting away with the current, maybe they will be able to fulfill it." ”

Cheng Yuxi had never done such a thing, and neither did Tang Xi, so the two of them took the brush very novelly, and when they wrote something on it, Cheng Yuxi fell into hesitation.

What to write about?

She doesn't have good wishes, only shocking hatred that sounds, such a wish, to write on such a beautiful lantern?

Cheng Yuxi's originally excited emotions suddenly calmed down, and after she held the brush for a while, she handed it to Tang Xi and said, "I've written it." ”

Tang Xi didn't notice that there was nothing written on Cheng Yuxi's lanterns, and after she took a brush and wrote a few words simply, she and Cheng Yuxi put the two lanterns on the water together.

The lanterns they had placed soon melted into the other people's lanterns, drifting away in the direction of the water.

Cheng Yuxi looked up at the large field of lanterns almost blankly, and secretly thought to himself: When will I be able to stand in front of those who have hurt me?

By the time the two of them came back from outside, it was already after dinner. Cheng Yuanshan was very relieved of Cheng Yuxi, so although Cheng Yuxi didn't go over to have dinner with him, he didn't get angry, but just ordered someone to prepare some supper for Cheng Yuxi at night.

It is the ice-stuffed glutinous rice balls that Cheng Yuxi loved to eat in the past.

"Thank you, by the way, I have some health pills here, you can send them to your father." Cheng Yuxi took the small bowl of ice-stuffed rice balls from the hands of his subordinates, then took out a small box and said, "You can sleep peacefully and recuperate, just let Dad eat one before going to bed." ”

"Yes, miss." After receiving the box handed by Cheng Yuxi, the servant turned and left.

Cheng Yuxi closed the door of his room, casually put the bowl of rice balls on the table, and then looked at the table full of medicinal herbs in front of him, and sighed deeply.

Although it is not difficult to find the three-flavor cold herb and the three-flavor fire herb, it is still difficult to fuse them.

Cheng Yuxi's refining will fail every time, and this water and fire three-flavor pill is either toxic or has no medicinal effect.

She had a headache and didn't understand what went wrong with her, but it was useless to be anxious at the moment, so she could only try step by step.

This experience of repeating again and again, and then failing again and again, before Cheng Yuxi was reborn, she had experienced it many times. Because behind the birth of every elixir, there are countless nights of failure.

The next morning, Cheng Yuxi walked out of the room a little tired, and saw that the servant who had been sent to deliver the letter came to Cheng Yuxi's courtyard again and handed over a letter to the courtyard guard.

Cheng Yuxi returned to the room and washed up briefly, then ran to the guard and took the letter back.

This letter was indeed a reply written by Yang Qianyu, after he heard that his father's condition could be cured, he expressed his joy in the envelope, and obediently followed what Cheng Yuxi said, using the clues he could think of now to briefly investigate the woman.

As a result, Yang Qianyu found that this woman is called Changsun Xiu, not from Pingcheng, she seems to be an orphan of which family, when Yang Qianyu's father Yang Qianli went out to do business, he met him, and the relationship between the two people quickly became ambiguous, and Yang Qianli's close cronies said that Yang Qianli's situation was very complicated at that time, he was sometimes sober and sometimes complicated as if he was sick, but the woman called Changsun Xiu always turned away other people who cared about Yang Qianli. said that Yang Qianli was just bored recently, and it would be fine after a while.

As a result, after a period of time, Yang Qianli really returned to normal, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the cronie found that Yang Qianli's behavior began to be affected by Changsun Xiu, and the relationship with the Yang family became worse and worse.

Eldest grandson Xiu......

Cheng Yuxi muttered the name softly, thinking: I still need to investigate this person carefully.

So, she called Tang Shi and asked, "Tang Shi, you have been in the Dark Pavilion for a long time, do you know where the information of the people in the Dark Pavilion comes from?" ”

Tang Xi quickly reflected the true purpose of Cheng Yuxi calling her over, and after thinking seriously for a while, she asked, "Who does Miss Cheng want to investigate?" ”

"Clever." Cheng Yuxi said: "It's the woman holding the soul bell." ”

Tang Yan nodded seriously, and then said to Cheng Yuxi: "The intelligence network of the Dark Pavilion is an independent organization, accepting orders from anyone, Miss Cheng only needs to give me three hundred taels, and I can go to the intelligence organization to place an order, and in about two hours, that person's intelligence will be sent." ”

Is there such an organization?

The silver taels that Cheng Yuxi obtained at the auction last time were relatively huge, and Ouyang Yu was still calculating, so it did not fall into Cheng Yuxi's hands for the time being, but she is also a family lady now, and three hundred taels of silver is neither more nor less, which happens to be all the current savings in Cheng Yuxi's hands.

After handing over the three hundred taels of silver to Tang Shi, Cheng Yuxi looked at Tang Shi's back and secretly thought to herself: Maybe it's time to urge Ouyang Yu to hand over the dividends from the auction to herself, otherwise she would really hesitate to buy medicinal herbs now.

What Cheng Yuxi didn't expect was that in the afternoon of the same day, Ouyang Yu came to Cheng's house and met Cheng Yuxi.

Cheng Yuanshan happened to be at home now, and after hearing that Ouyang Yu was coming, he hurriedly welcomed him to the front hall.

Although the force behind Ouyang Yu is not very large, Cheng Yuanshan knows that Ouyang Yu's ability is very strong, and he will definitely achieve great success in time.

He originally thought that Ouyang Yu came here because he wanted to discuss something with Cheng Yuxi, but when he saw Ouyang Yu respectfully take out three money deeds, he took a look.

"It's about 610,000 taels, and it's already stored in the Tailai Money Village in the east of the city, as long as Miss Cheng is willing, she can get it at any time." Ouyang Yu smiled and handed the money deed in his hand to Cheng Yuxi, and then said, "Miss Cheng can send someone to count it now." ”
