The poems and books on the pillow are good, and the scenery in front of the door is good.

The weather was a little colder, and the Taoist lit the stove again, put his hands close to the stove to warm up, rubbed each other, sighed into his mouth, and picked up the book next to him.

A little girl suddenly came in outside the door, hunched over and shrunk her head, with two small balls on her head, with a large amount of hair, each of the two balls was bigger than only one pill pierced by others, and the raindrops on her hair at this time were like countless small white pearls, and she held two steamed buns in her hands, and handed them to the Taoist with a serious face:

"Let's eat!"

"How can I always ask Sanhua Niangniang to buy breakfast for me?" The Taoist put down the book and took the steamed bun, and raised his eyes to the top of her head, "What's more, it's still raining outside." ”

"Thank you, Sanhua Niangniang."

"Thank you, Sanhua Niangniang."

"You're welcome."

The little girl sat down next to him, then raised her hand, patted it on her head a few times, and easily slapped all the water droplets, and said to the Taoist nonchalantly:

"It's just raining......"

"Don't you eat Sanhua Niangniang?"

"Sanhua Niangniang ate it last night, and by the way, she caught two stove horses and fed the swallows." Sanhua Niangniang said while bringing a small bench, took a book and sat down on the other side of the stove, reached over to sense the temperature from the stove, and immediately squinted her eyes, and shook her head imperceptibly, as if she liked it very much, and then opened the book, shrunk into a ball, looked at it carefully, the whole little face was basically blocked by the book, and only her voice came from behind, "That swallow is very weird, insects eat insects, but don't eat rats." ”

"In the eyes of Sanhua Niangniang, aren't I and Ma Er also strange?"

"Hmm......"

Sanhua Niangniang still shook her head.

How can you do it without eating rats?

But I don't say much, I just sink my mind into the book and accumulate knowledge in order to become a teacher. From time to time, he moved the book down slightly, and his head was stretched up, so that his eyes could look through the top edge of the book to see how his Taoist priest had eaten and how much he had eaten.

It was a long time before her voice came out:

"That's right!"

"What's wrong?"

The Taoist looked at her while eating steamed buns.

But I saw that the little girl had put down the book, as if she had thought of something serious, and said to him solemnly: "I have spent a lot of money on buying food outside every day these days, and we have not made any money yet!" Last night, when you fell asleep, Sanhua Niangniang rummaged through things at home and played around, and turned out the previous little flag! ”

"What little flag?"

"The one hanging in the doorway."

"Shop signs, ah......"

"Shop signs!"

"But I've been a bit lazy lately, and I don't really want to open a store and do business. What's more, under the governance of Lord Chenghuang, there are very few demons and ghosts in Changjing who harm people. ”

"You're so lazy......"

"Naturally, it can't be compared to Sanhua Niangniang." The Taoist sighed helplessly, "Otherwise, I would have been as powerful as Sanhua Niangniang." ”

“！”

The little girl was stunned again, and after thinking about it, she said to him: "It doesn't matter, Sanhua Niangniang has become more powerful now, and she can catch rats and ghosts." ”

"How can that work?"

What the Taoist thought in his heart was that when Sanhua Niangniang went out to hunt demons and fight ghosts, wouldn't she have to follow behind her back?

What's the difference between that and going in person?

"Yes!"

"It's going to be tired of the three flower girls."

"Sanhua Niangniang is not tired!"

"It's dangerous."

"Sanhua Niangniang is very powerful!"

"It's going to delay Sanhua Niangniang's study, right?"

"The Taoist priest said that you can't study all day long, so you have to spend some time to make money."

“……”

This understanding Song You admires.

After laughing, Song You didn't say much, he should give his cat exercise and fun, so he said to her: "Then I have to rely on Sanhua Niangniang to support ......"

“！”

The little girl's expression froze, extremely solemn:

"It's okay!"

“……”

The Taoist couldn't help but shake his head.

What kind of fetish is this?

"The rain stopped in the afternoon, and after the rain stopped, let's go out for a walk, Sanhua Niangniang studied at home all day, it's really not good."

"Where to go?"

"How is the Crane Immortal Tower?"

"Crane Immortal Tower!"

"When we left Changjing before, after all, others went out of the city to see us off, and now that we are back, it makes sense that we should all visit people, this is called etiquette."

"Etiquette!"

"Yes......"

"Etiquette is expensive."

After the girl finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head to look.

I saw a white oil-paper umbrella embroidered with plum blossoms appear outside the door, holding the handle of the umbrella is a pair of slender white hands, which is beautiful from the bone joints, and under the umbrella is a beautiful woman, dressed elegantly, in this early winter, she wears a cloak that seems to be made of fox skin, almost pure white, and there are countless raindrops on it, hanging on the hair, like a fine little pearl.

Behind him was also a delicate woman, but she was dressed as a maid, holding a green flower umbrella and a fox fur cloak, and followed behind.

The two came to the door, one with a calm face, the other with a smile and a groan, and both looked in.

"What is the Taoist talking about?"

“……”

It's really about who's coming.

Song You put down the book and hurriedly got up: "Your guests are here, please come in quickly." ”

The woman walking in front took the umbrella, and the woman behind immediately took it, and then she also took the umbrella herself, and put it at the door to drain the water, and the woman in front lifted the hem of the cloak and stepped in, and the maid followed closely.

"I've seen the three flower girls."

"Sanhua Niangniang has also seen you."

"Is Sanhua Niangniang reading?"

"Reading!"

"Sanhua Niangniang is diligent and studious."

"That's right!"

"You two may be seated." The Taoist beckoned to them, "There is only a wide bench." ”

"Didn't you sit on the wide bench last time?"

"Poor hospitality."

"Why do you have to say this?"

The girl sat down, and the maid stood behind her with a smile, and the two nodded to the Sanhua Niangniang next to them, and paused for a moment before the maid said to the Taoist: "It's the Taoist Chief, who has not come to visit us after returning to Beijing for a few days, fortunately, we heard the news of the Taoist Chief's return to Beijing from other places, otherwise I am afraid that we will not know now." ”

"I'm lazy in the next few days, and it's raining these days, so I didn't visit." The Taoist said, "I just talked to Sanhua Niangniang about the Crane Immortal Tower, and I planned to visit the two of them after the rain stopped in the afternoon, but the two of them came to us first. ”

"I don't believe it." The maid grinned.

"......" Miss Wanjiang shook her head, ignoring the topic, as if the maid's words had nothing to do with her and she was not interested in it, and only continued to look at the book in the little girl's hand, as if relatives and friends who visited the door were concerned about the study of the children at home, "What kind of book is Sanhua Niangniang reading?" ”

"Editor-in-chief of children's songs."

"Nursery rhyme editor-in-chief." This famous woman in Changjing seems to have some understanding of Mongolian books, and said, "I heard that some people thought that the editor-in-chief of children's songs was too straightforward, although it was harmless to children, but it was not helpful for character cultivation and future success, so I made up a new book, called Children's Language, and now everyone reads this one." ”

"I don't know, the Taoist priest bought it."

Sanhua Niangniang was very honest, and after speaking, she looked at Song You, wanting to hear the explanation of her Taoist priest.

"Sanhua Niangniang is just a cat, you don't need to understand so many principles and rules in the world, you just need to learn more knowledge."

"As long as the monster wanders in the world, it must understand the principles and rules of the world."

"It makes sense." The Taoist said, "But although Sanhua Niangniang is a cat, but she is smart and clever by nature, monsters walk in the world, she knows all the truths she should understand, in my opinion, there are some places where she is better than people, at least better than me, there is really no need to learn anything else." ”

When the little girl heard this, she no longer looked at the Taoist priest, but pretended to read seriously, her face was expressionless, but in fact, her ears were very high, and her heart was very happy.

Miss Wanjiang showed a thoughtful look, and she didn't know what she was thinking, so she smiled slightly, shifted her gaze, and continued to ask:

"When will the Taoist come back this time, when will he leave Beijing?"

"I'll leave in the winter."

"That's a long time." When the maid heard this, she immediately said, her tone playful, "If the Taoist chief is free, he can come to the Hexian Tower to find us again." ”

"Yes." Miss Wanjiang also nodded.

"Why do you stand and sit together?" Song You couldn't help asking.

"The tail should be behind me." Miss Wanjiang said.

"Either you stand and sit, or you all sit, or you all stand, you have to choose the same, right?" The maid said.

“……”

The division of labor between these two people is clear.

The Taoist couldn't help but shake his head secretly in his heart, and then looked at them again and asked what he cared about: "I heard that Princess Changping's power in the court last year has been uprooted, and people have also been detained, the two of them should have regained their freedom, why are they still in the capital until now?" ”

"Does the Taoist want us to leave?"

"Don't be rude." Miss Wanjiang tilted her head and said, then sighed and said, "Although Wanjiang has regained her free body, she has been in Changjing for ten years, ten years is not short, even for us, not to mention, sometimes the length of time depends on how many things have been done during this time." It's like Wanjiang wanted to leave Beijing before, but now that he is free, he can leave everything in Changjing and leave here at any time, and no one can see a woman named Wanjiang in this world anymore, but somehow, he is a little reluctant, his heart is empty, and he doesn't want to leave quickly. ”

"Hee-hee, the master said that we can only leave, not have to leave."

"In fact, although our demon clan has a long lifespan, most of the time it is simple and boring, and these ten years are also special in our lives, and we are probably reluctant to say goodbye to this special and busy ten years."

"It's worthy of the master, but he can talk!"

"In front of the Taoist, you must not be rude."

"Yes......"

"I see." The Taoist nodded, thinking that it was reasonable, and for the trick of the two of them playing two roles, he didn't ask much, nor did he debunk it, but just continued to ask, "Are those two still selling wine in Hexian Tower?" ”

"If you want to play, you can play, if you don't want to, you can't play. That's how we used to be, but it's been a long time since we've felt so comfortable, and it's a good feeling. The maid laughed.

"It's all about interest." Miss Wanjiang said.

"But if the Taoist master comes to us and wants to listen to the qin, the master must be willing to touch the qin, even if it is a day long."

"When I was in Changjing, I met Jun Chu and seemed to be an old friend, not to mention the reunion after a long absence, if the Taoist chief came to visit and wanted to listen to the piano, Wanjiang was naturally happy."

"Have you been like this all the time?"

"How?"

"It's nothing ......" The Taoist shook his head, glanced at Sanhua Niangniang next to him who pretended to be serious about reading, and continued to ask, "When are you two going to leave?" ”

"Next year."

"Spring next year."

"Where are you going?"

"I will go to Yangzhou, Yangdu is not inferior to the prosperity of Changjing, and there are many less power struggles than Changjing, maybe I will go there for a while."

"That's where we first met the princess."

"I see."

The Taoist couldn't help but nodded.

Yangzhou, Yangdu......

I heard that it is the second city in the world, a prosperous place of smoke and willows, literati and scholars, high-ranking officials and magnates are obsessed with Yangzhou, after the beginning of spring, all the way south, after Fengzhou, must also go around to Yangzhou District to walk.
