Chapter 8 Hush Money
Most of the candles in the withered leaves were extinguished, and when Guan Mo came back, Bai Chongan was playing chess alone.
"How?" He asked.
Guan Mowen saluted respectfully and replied, "It seems that they didn't notice anything abnormal. ”
Bai Chongan laughed silently: "What the hell is a chick who hasn't been on a mission yet." ”
"Yes." Guan Mo smiled when he heard this, "Fairy Yue seems to be going out for the first time, although Immortal Master Huo is more experienced, it is also limited. ”
Bai Chongan fiddled with the chess pieces a few times, recalling the expressions on the three of them when they entered the courtyard.
Huo Chongxiao and Yue Yunqiao obviously didn't recognize the things in the courtyard, so they only looked at it curiously, but it was his niece and granddaughter......
"How has the second girl behaved over the years?"
Guan Mowen thought about it for a moment and said, "If Xiao Ke remembers correctly, the second miss is the most qualified one among the juniors. Maybe the second master went early and was extra sensible. If someone in the family can pass the entrance examination, it must be the second lady. ”
Bai Chongan was surprised: "Really? In this way, our family's future future depends on her. ”
Guan Mowen said with a smile: "It's too early to say this, whether the second lady can reach the height of Dong Weng is not yet known, this family still has to rely on Dong Weng!" ”
Bai Chongan smiled faintly, turned his head and instructed the old servant: "Qingru, just take the rune pen in my treasure house and send it over, pick some rune ink rune paper, and add some spirit stones." Without elders to take care of her, she must be short of money. ”
He has always neglected mundane affairs, and his reward is so heavy that it is the first in his family.
Guan Mowen's face flashed a little different, and he said, "Dong Weng is very loving." ”
Bai Chongan smiled and moved his gaze to the courtyard.
Under the Huangquan tree, the yin and yang umbrella seemed to sense something, and suddenly turned around, faster and faster, faster and faster......
On the other side, Bai Mengjin returned to his residence.
This small courtyard, far from the middle line, only lives three people. The mother-in-law sent by the family to take care of her was already asleep, snoring loudly. A little girl in her early teens sat on a small pestle, sleepy-eyed and waiting for her door.
Seeing her come back, the little girl called out to Miss in a daze, and got up to prepare water for her.
Bai Mengjin waved her hand and asked her to rest and wash herself.
As soon as it was finished, the reward of the withered leaf Xiaozhu was delivered-that uncle, as a Jindan monk, no longer needed to sleep, so naturally he would not be considerate of others' low cultivation, and he had to live like mortals.
The old servant smiled: "This talisman pen was given by the master of Danxia Palace, and the head of the family has always treasured it in the treasure house, and I hope that the second lady will live up to the kindness of the master of the family." ”
Bai Mengjin put on a flattered look and sent him out gratefully.
After such an experience, the little girl's sleepy insects flew and circled excitedly: "Miss, has the head of the family finally seen you?" Will no one dare to snub you in the future? ”
Bai Mengjin didn't answer, he gave her a spirit stone casually and sent her to rest.
The little girl was very happy. Lingshi is worth her salary for more than half a year.
Closing the door, Bai Mengjin counted things under the lamp.
The talisman pen is indeed a high-grade product, even in Danxia Palace, it is not something that ordinary disciples can get. The quality of the rune paper is very good, and it is much better than the one bought in the shop. There are about 100 spirit stones, which is already a huge amount of money for her at this time.
Bai Mengjin threw things on the table casually and smiled meaninglessly.
Is this hush money for her?
She sat in silence for a while, and finally opened the gift box and took out the contents.
The rune paper is laid out, the rune ink is adjusted, and then the rune is drawn slowly and stroke by stroke.
Her cultivation is insufficient now, but fortunately, the power of the spirit rune will not be limited by her cultivation, and she can make up for it by one or two.
……
Early the next morning, Bai Mengjin was woken up.
"Senior Sister Yue?" Seeing the person in front of her clearly, she was speechless. This Yue Yunqiao, her energy is too good, she got it until the middle of the night yesterday, and she came so early today.
"Senior Sister Bai, why did you sleep for so long? It won't hurt the spirit, right? Yue Yunqiao asked with concern.
Bai Mengjin rubbed his eyes and said, "No, I still had homework last night and slept a little late." ”
"You're so self-conscious!" Yue Yunqiao admired, she hated doing her homework the most, and she couldn't do it at all last night.
Anyway, they all woke up, and Bai Mengjin got up and washed.
I haven't lived like a mortal in years, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it.
After cleaning up, she confessed to the little girl: "You go to the school to help me ask for leave, just say that I want to entertain guests." ”
The little girl agreed and went happily. The young lady had been rewarded by the head of the house, and she just went out to show off, lest the blind ones come and bully them.
Huo Chongxiao was already waiting outside, watching them coming, and said apologetically, "White girl, didn't bother you, right?" My sister is anxious, and she doesn't want to wait a lot. ”
Bai Mengjin shook his head: "I also have to go to school on weekdays." ”
"Where are we going?" Yue Yunqiao was full of interest, "Are there any interesting places in Qingyun City?" ”
Bai Mengjin thought about it carefully: "Go to the Yuelao Temple, right?" I heard that it is very spiritual, and many people go there. ”
For the monks, gods and ghosts are all chiseled, but this does not prevent them from respecting the thoughts of mortals. People must always have some sustenance in order to live happily.
The Wolroi Temple is right next to the bazaar, and a street of various stalls is set up. At the end there was a marriage tree, with lush branches and leaves, and the red cloth of prayer hung all over the tree.
Yue Yunqiao exclaimed: "So many! Does it really work? ”
The aunt who sold red cloth strips next to her smiled and sold: "Girl, our marriage tree in Qingyun City has been around for hundreds of years, and they all say that it is very spiritual. You write the name of the person you like, and the old man will help you get married. ”
Yue Yunqiao replied honestly: "But I don't have a crush on someone!" ”
"Really?" The aunt looked at Huo Chongxiao, and then at Bai Mengjin, and couldn't figure out the relationship between these three people for a while, so she changed the words, "It's okay to write other wishes, they are all immortals, and they can always take care of it." ”
"Is that okay?"
"Why not?" Speaking of this aunt, she is very energetic, "Look at that strip of cloth, it belongs to the old man of Huaihua Lane, he is a dutiful son, the old lady is sick, and she begged all the temples in the city." It's useless to ask for the Yuelao Temple, which is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor. And guess what, in two days, his wife is really getting better! ”
"Yes, yes," the mother-in-law who sold herbal tea next to her continued, "and the Liu lady on Zhuguan Street, who lost the money and wanted to sell her." She begged for two days in the Yuelao Temple, hey, and then she won it back! ”
This kind of strange anecdote attracts the people the most, and the people around gather around, and you say a word to me, and say several things in a row.
As he was talking, someone shouted: "Look, Mrs. Liu has come to repay her vow!" ”
Bai Mengjin turned his head to look over, and saw that the Liu lady had a thin face, but she was dressed very decently, and there was an inappropriate weirdness, which was quite in line with the experience of suddenly getting rich.
Huo Chongxiao's expression next to him became solemn.
This Liu Niang looked radiant, but Yin Tang was haunted by a black gas.
