In the past few months in Changjing, the harvest is really not small.

Speaking of which, what I did in Changjing was often done when I was in Yinyang Mountain.

Cultivators are meant to exorcise evil spirits and eliminate demons, and this has nothing to do with Taoism, no matter how high the Taoism is. When they were in Yinyang Mountain, they would also go down the mountain at the invitation of the people to relieve some disasters and add peace of mind to the villagers.

It's just that the money I make in Yinyang Mountain is not as much as here.

There are many rich people in Changjing, and even if they are poor, as long as they live in the city, the flowing water in their hands on weekdays far exceeds that of the self-sufficient villagers at the foot of Yinyang Mountain. Sometimes they can't receive money in Yinyang Mountain, they can only receive a small bag or half of the back of millet and wheat, but fortunately, they have experience, and they will bring a sack when they go down the mountain, otherwise they will use the villagers' backs to go up the mountain, and they will have to return it to others next time.

Sometimes you can't even harvest the grain, you can only receive rice and wheat stalks, and in the summer and autumn, when the people under the mountain have harvested, they will deliberately leave a bush on the edge of the field, and you have to cut it yourself.

To be honest, Fulongguan is not bad at this wheat and millet, but every year Song You also has to cut it.

In addition to money, Changjing has other gains.

At the foot of Yin and Yang Mountain are all peasant households, poor people, although hundreds of people have a hundred hearts, but after all, they are not as diverse as Changjing. There are both rich and poor people in Changjing, and they can meet flower craftsmen in the single rooms of the shop's housework, talk to the general in the mansion assigned by the government, and meet the squire in the court, and even the Shangshu, as well as all kinds of strange people.

But the biggest takeaway of today is the painting.

Whoever painted this painting, in terms of technique alone, it was already rare in the world, and the court painter must have been inferior to him.

It's a pity that I can't watch it twice.

Song You braved the scorching sun, thinking while walking back to Liuye Street in Xicheng.

From a distance, I saw half a little head poking out of the second floor, glanced at myself, and quickly took it back.

The Taoist should not have seen it.

When I returned home, the door was not closed, and when I went up to the second floor, I didn't see the little girl, but only the three-flowered cat, the sand table on the desk was flat and neat, and the willow branches were placed next to it, and even the direction was the same as before.

This cat is smart.

"Sanhua Niangniang didn't secretly practice calligraphy at home, right?" The Taoist asked the cat lying by the window with half-squinted eyes.

"Hmm......"

The cat opened its mouth and yawned, stretched its limbs again, and its paws stained with yellow sand blossomed, and then turned its head to look at the Taoist:

"What did you say?"

It can be seen that Sanhua Niangniang is not practicing calligraphy at home. Think about it, with the talent of Sanhua Niangniang, it's already great not to practice words, and there is really no need to practice more. The Taoist said to the cat, sat down on the couch by the window, thought for a while and asked, "Sanhua Niangniang has to practice, catch mice, and learn to write, I'm afraid she's already very tired, right?" ”

"Not tired!"

"Aren't you tired?"

"Not tired!"

"It seems that Sanhua Niangniang really can't run out of energy." Song You nodded, "That's right, I learned to read and write, and I have to learn arithmetic." I also said that Sanhua Niangniang must be tired, if I learn one more arithmetic, I am afraid I can't cope with it, now that I think about it, I still underestimate Sanhua Niangniang. In that case, why don't I teach Sanhua Niangniang to count tonight. ”

“……”

The three-flowered cat maintained a lying position, only raised its head and stared at him, and after a while, it spoke, "Did you go out and catch a ghost?" ”

"It's not ghost hunting."

"Monster hunting!"

"Not really." Song You shook his head, "It's just that a painting is too real and scares people." ”

"Did you catch the painting?"

"I just used a spell to isolate the vitality of the painting, so that it would not stare at people in the middle of the night." Song You replied truthfully.

"Did you make any money?"

"Earned."

"How much money did you make?"

"Two taels of silver."

"How much is two taels of silver?"

"Five taels of silver is as much as the money I earned that night by catching ghosts by the river."

"So little."

"But that's enough for us to spend a month."

"That's a lot!"

Sanhua Cat said and suddenly turned over and got up, as if remembering something: "By the way, when you went out just now, someone came to our house, Sanhua Niangniang turned into a person and went down to see and talk to him, he said that he came to us to help me go and I don't know where to catch mice." ”

"Where to catch it?"

"I don't know where."

"What about others?"

"Gone." Sanhua Cat stood up and looked up at him, "Sanhua Niangniang talks to him, he doesn't tell Sanhua Niangniang." He asked me where you went, and Sanhua Niangniang said that you went out to hunt ghosts, and he said that he would come back in a while, and he would talk about it when you came back. ”

"I see."

Sanhua Cat didn't speak clearly, but he also told the story almost once, and Song You couldn't help but touch the cat's head when he heard it:

"Sanhua Niangniang is already very in charge."

"That's right!"

"It's just that person is a little bad, how can you not tell Sanhua Niangniang just because Sanhua Niangniang is a villain?"

"That's right!"

"I'll take a nap first."

"Okay!"

The Taoist lay down on the bed next to him.

Sanhua Cat looked at him, then at the sand table on the desk, hesitated for a long time and lay down.

The cat sleeps by the window, and the Taoist sleeps in the bed.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a knock at the door.

"Tuk Tuk ......"

The Taoist woke up in a daze, only to feel a thin layer of sweat on his face.

It turned out that it was time to sleep and sweat.

Get up and look at the three-flowered cat, and step downstairs.

The door downstairs was still open, and standing at the door was a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper, although the door was open, he didn't come in, just stood outside the door, knocking on the door frame.

He was accompanied by several family members.

When he saw the Taoist and the cat coming down, he gave it up.

"Sir, be polite."

"Please come in."

"My surname is Liu, and I am the housekeeper of Taiwei Mansion."

"Disrespectful, disrespectful."

"Don't dare, I just heard that Mr. has a magic cat, named Sanhua Niangniang, who can catch rats for people, no matter how powerful the rats are." Steward Liu looked at the three-flowered cat behind Song You, and was also surprised by the beauty of the three-flowered cat, and then turned his gaze to the Taoist, and groaned with a smile, "But I didn't expect that Mr. still has the ability to exorcise evil spirits and subdue demons." ”

"Catching rats is the skill of Sanhua Niangniang, and she is responsible for driving away evil spirits and subduing demons." The Taoist said to him, "We have our own duties. ”

"I don't know where Mr. Qing Xiu?"

"Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"Yizhou? Dare to ask where is the Xianshan Cave Mansion? ”

"I can't call it an immortal mountain, and I can't call it a cave mansion, it's just a small palace, and it's just me and the master, so it's not famous."

"I see."

Steward Liu's eyes flickered a few times: "That's also far away, why did Mr. come to Changjing?" ”

"Wander the world." Song You also looked at the housekeeper, with a smile on his lips, and said at the same time, "Listen to my child, you want to get rid of rats when you come here?" ”

"Exactly!"

"But the Taiwei Mansion?"

"Exactly!"

Steward Liu sometimes aimed his eyes at Song You, and sometimes at the cat behind Song You, and at the same time showed a helpless look on his face, and said: "I don't know what's going on, the rats in Dongcheng seem to be particularly powerful, my master has been disturbed by it in recent days, and Lang Jun is often disturbed by reading at night, and he is so annoyed that he has exhausted all means, but he can't get rid of it." I heard a foreigner say that Mr. There is a god cat here, and no matter how powerful the mouse is, it can be caught overnight. ”

"It's not a secret, the people who came to invite my Sanhua Niangniang before were all similar to the situation in the house where my feet were."

"That's right!" Steward Liu smiled, "My master has always been generous, if he can really get what he wants, let alone five hundred dollars, he will give five taels of silver, what about fifty taels?" ”

When the three-flowered cat next to him heard this, his expression suddenly froze.

Although Song You hadn't taught her to count yet, after all, she had been transformed for a long time, and she also knew that five was bigger than two.

Five taels of silver are naturally more than two taels of silver.

"When are you going?"

"I wonder if I can be idle at this time?"

"It's very leisurely."

"Then please."

"Shut the door down."

The Taoist stepped out, and the cat immediately followed out, and when Steward Liu saw it, he felt that the cat was spiritual, and the rumors were true.

Wait for the Taoist to close the door and lock it, and then set off.

Taiwei was originally the highest military governor of the imperial court, the head of the military attachés in the world, and the commander of the world's soldiers and horses. However, there are always discrepancies in the facts, and there are often dynasties or emperors who feel that the Taiwei is too powerful and do not put the Taiwei, or they put the Taiwei but do not give him real power. Just like this dynasty, the emperor himself is a martial emperor, and it is impossible to give the power of the soldiers and horses in the world to others, and he has always held it tightly in his hands. In addition, there is a prime minister above the taiwei, and there is a national teacher above the prime minister who is deeply trusted by the emperor and has a lot of prestige in the court, and the actual power has been reduced again and again.

And I heard that this captain is already very old, and his physical condition is very bad, and it is estimated that he is getting sooner.

But how is it also a member of the Zhengyi product, naturally living in the best part of the East City.

The mansion is also very large, with mountains and water.

Song You walked into the Taiwei Mansion with Steward Liu, then stopped, and said to Steward Liu: "Just send Sanhua Niangniang here, Sanhua Niangniang will catch mice in the house, and it will usually be caught in five days." In the next tomorrow morning will come to the house to pick up the three flower Niangniang, the next four days, every night to send it, pick it up in the morning, I hope to treat my cat well, don't let her be wronged and bullied. ”

"This is natural."

"Thank you."

The Taoist glanced at the cat in front of him, she was very well-behaved and pitiful wearing a red rope necklace, and couldn't help but smile, reached out and touched her head: "It's troublesome Sanhua Niangniang, Taiwei Mansion is big, Sanhua Niangniang is afraid that it will be harder than before, please be more careful." ”

"Meow An~"

"I'll be gone."

The Taoist and the housekeeper gave their hands, and also gave up their hands with the servants around them, and someone came from the house, as if they had heard of the name of Sanhua Niangniang, and wanted to come to see the strangeness, he also looked at it, and then turned around and walked out of the Taiwei Mansion.

It happens that the dusk is cool, so take a leisurely walk.

The cat squatted on the spot, watching the Taoist leave.

She was happy that someone had come to ask her to catch mice, but that way, she couldn't sleep next to the Taoist at night.

And recently she is learning to write, if she is too busy at night, she will definitely have to sleep during the day, which affects the time she secretly practices, if she doesn't practice enough and doesn't write well, will that Taoist priest think that he is less smart as a peerless genius?

“……”

The cat is sad.
