After some washing, the Taoist was already lying on the bed.

The cat stood on the coffee table by the window, sometimes turning her head to look at the night outside the window, and sometimes looking back at the Taoist on the bed.

"Sanhua Niangniang, go to bed early."

"Is that person the emperor today?"

"Yes, he's the Emperor."

The Taoist lying on the bed looked at the darkness with his eyes open, and said to her: "If Sanhua Niangniang had his edict back then, she could always be a cat god next to Jinyang Road and not worry about being caught." It's not going to be like that. ”

"That's good!"

The cat suddenly turned back and said.

“……”

The Taoist couldn't help but smile.

That's not how the three-flowered cat thought back then.

Before you know it, a long time has passed.

"Taoist priest."

"Huh?"

"Will anyone come to Sanhua Niangniang to catch rats in the future?"

"Absolutely." The Taoist lay motionless, only a voice came, "And no one will have any wrong ideas in the future." However, Sanhua Niangniang should still learn how to get along with people. Not only as a cat, but also as a goblin, as a person. ”

"Sanhua Niangniang will work hard."

"Is Sanhua Niangniang going out to catch rats tonight?"

"I'm full tonight."

"Then go to bed early."

"I'm going to absorb the essence of the moon."

"There is no moon tonight."

"Oh yes......"

The cat then turned around and jumped back on the bed, crawled and crawled, found a place on the quilt on the Taoist's waist and nested down, moved his body, so that he could nest more comfortably, and closed his eyes.

The Taoist also closed his eyes a long time ago.

There was a slight movement next door.

I don't know what this woman is doing in Changjing, but I know that she is very aware of the movements inside and outside Changjing, many things happen in the morning, and she has heard about them when she comes back in the evening. Even those things that she can't usually hear of, as long as she inquires, it is easy to get results.

It should be her job in Changjing.

Things to do for the nobles.

It's just that she came to Changjing, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as wanting to be prosperous and rich.

"Interesting."

The Taoist calmed down and fell asleep.

……

The room was lit with many candles, giving off a calming aroma, poems written on the square lanterns, white gauze curtains were repeated one after another, and the bright lights became dim, reflecting the figures inside.

The two sit opposite each other in front of the chessboard.

One is graceful and luxurious, about forty years old, with good maintenance, but he also has wrinkles, and he is holding white chess.

One person is dressed in white, looks like a fairy, and holds black chess.

There was also a maid standing behind him.

The sound of falling children came and went.

The graceful and luxurious woman spoke: "I've been in Changjing for a few years, but I think you're getting more and more beautiful. ”

"Wanjiang's appearance has not changed, Xu has been in Changjing for a long time, and he is becoming more and more similar to the people of Changjing."

"Sometimes I really want to ask someone to find the rumored elixir that can keep my youth forever, but unfortunately, even your gold eater here can't make me rejuvenated."

"The princess has a big plan, how can she be contaminated with these small paths."

"You're sober. But you are eternally young, and you don't understand what women can sacrifice in order to look immortal. The princess shook her head, "It's a pity that my two younger brothers are not as sober as you, and in order to get rid of my men, they actually instructed the monsters to cause trouble, and I don't know who did it or who instructed them...... Hehe, if you want to be the emperor of the people in the peaceful years, how can you behave like this? ”

"What the princess said is very true."

"You and I discussed some time ago, why did Changjing City God suddenly sober up and become diligent, can you find out the reason?"

"The princess forgives her sins, there is no news yet."

"It doesn't matter."

"Chenghuang has been lazy for a long time, and sooner or later he will realize that this is not a long-term way. However, he was sober at this time, and intervened in the dispute between the princes, even as a god, he had to have some guts. The woman pinched a chess piece and stared at the chessboard to find the place where the piece fell, and at the same time said, "If someone doesn't allow a lure, or someone who urges you, Tiangong hasn't taken care of it for so many years, and it shouldn't care about it." ”

"That's true."

The princess's tone was very calm.

Miss Wanjiang raised her eyes and smiled, as if the candlelight had dimmed a little: "So it sounds like someone has chosen the princess?" ”

"At the end of spring, auspicious clouds fell from the sky in the capital, and the spiritual rain was covered by all things, do you remember?"

"Yes."

"A few days ago, did you hear about the Taiwei Mansion?"

"I heard."

Miss Wanjiang narrowed her eyes, remembering the encounter on Changshan that day, and the later glimpse of the Hexian Tower, and the rumored cultivator in the Taiwei Ya also brought a three-flowered cat.

"There's a connection?"

"I don't know." The princess also frowned: "But tonight, Your Majesty invited a Taoist into the palace to drink and talk alone with the national teacher and General Chen Ziyi in Anle Palace, and specially told the concubines and eunuchs in the palace not to walk around, so as not to disturb the purity of the palace. ”

"Your Majesty also has the princess's eyeliner by his side."

"Not really." The princess said, "But the palace is so big, what happened, and who can hide it?" ”

"I see."

"Do you know when such a master came to Changjing?"

"I don't know yet."

The woman replied very calmly.

"Let's look it up."

"Yes."

"What time has it been?"

"It's almost three shifts."

"It's so late."

"Does the princess want to go back? Or just rest here? ”

"It's better to go back, I don't know if that person is out of the palace at the moment, or is still talking with His Majesty at night in the palace, in short, I have to go back to know."

"Won't you finish this game?"

"You've won."

The princess had already stood up.

The woman also hurriedly got up.

After sending the princess away, her expression quickly changed, she lost her respect, and became indifferent.

The big and long eyes, the beauty is not like that of mortals, the lips are like a covered boat, and as soon as the expression fades, there is immediately a bit of world-weary coldness.

The woman turned her head to look out at the night sky, squinted her eyes, thought about it, and muttered:

"Fulongguan ......"

Tell the maid to take the painting and open it to see.

At that time, the mountain was full of apricot blossoms, the promenade surrounded the mountainside, but only one corner of the painting was taken - the Taoist and the cat sat side by side on the promenade, the cat leaned his body, faintly leaned on the Taoist, the picture was quiet and beautiful, I am afraid that some wicked people will briefly soften their hearts for a moment when they see it, and the distant mountains are also light, the flowers are also light, the apricot blossoms near the branches protrude, and the petals are hung down by the wind, attracting the cat to look up......

It's really a rare good painting.

When I first drew it, I felt that I should give it to that Taoist, and this fate was the best. But later, I took this painting back and often opened it at home to admire, but the more I looked at it, the more I liked it, and the more I looked at it, the more reluctant I became.

Although this painting is not as good as the masterpieces of the Dou family, nor is it as good as the heirs of the Dou family, it is also a rare masterpiece, right?

If you want to give this painting to anyone, the woman will not want to.

Not even a princess.

If it is said that it is a beautiful thing to return it to the painting itself, but at this time, my heart is not as crisp as it was then.

"Alas......"

The woman's face looked helpless.

He put away the painting, took a pot of wine, sat down in front of the chessboard, picked it up again, and said to the maid beside him:

"You'll come with me."

"Master, I am you, how can I get past you?" The maid said with a grin.

"Well, it's boring."

“……”

The next morning.

The overall situation of night chess is there, and the spring wine is half empty.

The woman woke up slowly.

The maid refused to play chess with her, so she had to play with herself. Of course, the maid accompanied her, and she also went down with herself. However, she had to fight with her own ideas, she had no choice, so she had to go down alone until midnight, and no one won anyone. I drank some wine, but it wasn't sweet enough when I drank it, and I woke up feeling bitter, which was really boring.

The maid came to report and inquired about the gentleman's residence.

"Are you going today?"

"Not going today."

"Why?"

"It's cloudy today, so it's not appropriate to go out."

"When are you going?"

"In a few days, he'll be busy these days."

"Okay."

The maid retreated, and the woman continued to lie down, sometimes fiddling with the chess pieces on the table with her fingers, her eyes seemed to be looking, and her eyes seemed to be scattered, and her heart seemed to be thinking, and she seemed to be empty.

……

Willow Street has attracted a lot of attention.

There are not a few people in Changjing who like the way of immortals and pursue masters, there are not a few people who are not used to seeing the corpse of Taiwei and not restraining their children, and there are also not a few people who simply want to get acquainted with masters who practice it.

The people only know that Taiwei wants to prolong his life, accidentally ingested the poison pill, and was poisoned to death, at most, it is rumored that the Taiwei family's flying and domineering Yanei provoked the master, and was cast by the master and became deaf and dumb, and the people were happy, and gradually some people said that the master was afraid that the master was from the gods, but after all, it was a rumor, and no one knew who the master was.

But if it is a powerful person in Changjing, you can know a thing or two.

Some people want to see the demeanor of a master, but they are afraid of provoking the dislike of the Chang surname forces. Some people are not afraid, but they don't know how to visit. Someone found a reason to visit the master, and for a while he was entangled, whether there would be many people who thought of this method at this time.

Some people are also worried that they were the rat killer cat that they introduced to the Taiwei family at the beginning, and they don't know if the masters or the Chang family will blame themselves.

Someone has always been calm and snooping.

There are people who have a good temperament and come when they want to.

However, when you come to Willow Leaf Street, you can only see a closed door, and the shop sign of the original pioneer evil demon at the door has been removed, and only the rat is left to worry.

The Taoist got up early in the morning, boiled a few eggs, took the three-flowered cat, bought some scones, steamed cakes, steamed buns, filled enough water, and followed Wu Nuxia to fetch her beloved yellow-maned horse, and went out of the city together.

At this time, it was already on the way to Beiqin Mountain.

In the middle of summer, the grass and trees are green, it is cool today, the sun is not seen overhead, walking on the loess path, blowing the wind, it is really comfortable.

The cat took small steps, dripping, looking here and there, it seemed that she hadn't been out of the city for a while, she was in a good mood, and from time to time she followed the sound of cicadas to find the tree, and her mood was better.

The Taoist priest was also in a good mood, as if he was in front of him.

The affairs of Changjing are all left behind.

Just be at ease, no matter what troubles.

"It's cloudy today, it's good to go out!"

"Cool ......"

"Yes, yes."

"If only it didn't rain."

"Not today."

"You know?"

"Guess."

"Then I believe you!"

"Thank you."

The Taoist glanced at Wu Nuxia's horseback, and she also brought a few fire ropes, which should be worried that there are many mosquitoes in the deep mountains at night, so she is used to repel mosquitoes.

It's good, and it saves some thought.
