Chapter Seventy-Two: News

"Young Master, what are you doing?"

After dinner, Wu Jiujiu saw Song Yifei squatting by the pear tree in the yard, as if digging something, so he stepped forward curiously and asked.

In order to avoid trouble, the four of them now live in an independent courtyard, which is equivalent to an inn version of the presidential suite.

Song Yifei turned his head and put his index finger in front of his mouth, and made a silent gesture towards Wu Jiujiu.

"I'll put things away!"

The value of the geocentric fruit was expensive, and Song Yifei couldn't carry it with him, and he didn't feel at ease when he put it in the room, so he simply dug a pit in the yard and planned to bury it temporarily.

After burying the stone box, Song Yifei clapped his hands and stood up.

"Xiao Jiu, don't tell the two of them!"

Liu Qingcian and Ah Niu, one has no heart, and the other has too many eyes, if you let the two of them know, they will cause some trouble.

"I see, young master!"

Wu Jiujiu's little head nodded, with an excited face.

Is this a little secret between him and the young master?

......

The sun was setting and the red glow was shining all over the land.

Creak!

Yun Yi put his hand in his pocket, gently stroked a little white mouse inside, and walked home without focus.

Just now, when he was bringing a stone box to a customer, he smeared a little medicine powder at the bottom of the stone box.

This medicinal powder has only one use, and that is to let the little white in his pocket be found ten miles away.

"Earth Heart Fruit!Alchemy!Five million taels!"

These words appeared again and again in Yun Yi's mind.

Crossing most of the county, Yun Yi entered a dilapidated urban area, with low mud and straw houses, stinky puddles everywhere, squatting in the corners, ragged clothes, vegetable faces, listless residents, and dirty deeds in dark corners.

This is the slum of Aoki County, dirty, chaotic, and synonymous with it.

Yun Yi grew up here, still lives here, and may live here for the rest of his life.

"Brother Yi is back!"

A burly middle-aged woman with a laundry tub and patched clothes immediately greeted Yun Yi with a smile.

Compared with the residents who are generally dressed in shabby clothes, Yun Yi's dress is much cleaner and neater, and he feels like he stands out from the crowd.

"Aunt Qian!"

Yun Yi's delicate face, with a gentle smile, politely greeted the woman.

"Brother Yi is getting more and more handsome!, do you want to help you say a daughter-in-law another day!" the middle-aged woman said with a smile.

"Hehe! My mother is still waiting at home, so I won't talk to my aunt more!"

Yun Yi smiled perfunctorily.

After working in Xuanji Pavilion for so long, his vision has long been extraordinary, how can he look at the black girl from a poor family.

"Yun Yi is back! Are you busy today?"

......

"Brother Yi, my uncle has made some water and wine, do you want to come and drink two sips?

......

"Yun Yi, can you write a letter for your sister-in-law later?"

......

The closer you are to your home, the more people greet Yun Yi on the road.

Although he was only an apprentice in the Xuanji Pavilion, in the eyes of his neighbors nearby, he was already a very high-status person.

Although Yun Yi was disgusted in his heart, his face was smiling kindly and responded politely.

He did not dislike the poverty of these people, but disliked their lack of progress.

You deserve to be a poor ghost for the rest of your life!

Night.

The bright moonlight cast through the window and fell on Yun Yi's eyes that had not yet closed. He took a peanut from the dark wooden table and stuffed it into the white mouse crawling around the pillow.

The mice nibbled on peanuts and made a clattering sound.

The air is filled with a pungent musty smell, giving the impression of being stuck in mud and sticky.

Today, my mother must have forgotten to dry the quilt for him again. I've said it several times, but my mother forgets it every time.

"Ahem, ahem!"

"What's so serious? You're going to ...... again."

"Don't work!What do juniors and juniors eat!Ahem!"

"But ......"

"Don't say it! cough! cough! It's noisy!"

In the next room, my father's dry cough as if I was about to suffocate, and my mother's chattering complaints.

"Second brother, tomorrow is my birthday, can you bring me a piece of snowflake cream?"

The little sister Yunxiu got over from the other end of the quilt, lay on his pillow, and whispered.

There are few rooms at home, and Yun Yi needs to squeeze a bed with his five-year-old sister.

"Good!"

Yun Yi touched Yun Xiu's little head and said with a smile.

Yun Yi has two taels of silver a month, most of which is given to his mother to supplement the family, and he only keeps a small part.

A piece of Xiangxuezhai's snowflake cream costs seven yuan, which is a lot of money for him. But it was rare for the little sister to beg him, and Yun Yi was willing to spend it once.

"I knew that the second brother was the best for me!

Yun Xiu wiped her nose, kissed Yun Yi on the face, and went back excitedly. She had already begun to fantasize about the sweetness and deliciousness of snowflake cream.

Five million taels!

Am I going to be poor for the rest of my life?

When other children were playing and lazy, he worked hard, saved change, and bought books to study literature, just because he was unwilling to be a poor man all his life.

It was precisely because of his hard work that he impressed the gentleman of the private school. Mr. Jean was willing to teach him literacy and hyphenation for free, and even recommended him to Xuanji Pavilion as an apprentice.

He can have his current status because of his own hard work.

And now, there is an opportunity to ascend to the sky in one step, in front of his eyes.

The Luo family, a big family in the city, is collecting medicinal materials everywhere, and as long as he sells the news to the other party, he can immediately get a huge reward.

According to the value of five million taels of the Earth Heart Fruit, the Luo family should give him at least fifty thousand taels.

Even if he completes his studies and becomes a senior appraiser of Xuanji Pavilion, his salary will only be fifty taels a month, and only six hundred taels a year.

Fifty thousand taels, he will work for nearly a hundred years!

As long as you pass the word, you can get a lifetime of income! It's really hard for a few people to hold back!

This is also the reason why Yun Yi, the ghost sent the gods, and smeared with medicinal powder.

The reason why he is entangled now and has not acted for a long time is because of the regulations of the Xuanji Pavilion!

"Ahem!ahem!uh-ahem!"

In the next room, my father coughed violently, as if he wanted to cough out all his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

Then came the sound of a mother gently patting her father's back.

This was like the last straw that broke the camel's back, Yun Yi lifted the futon, got out of bed, got dressed, took the white mouse, and went out of the house.

......

The courtyard is deep, the lights are brilliant, the clouds and temples are swaying, and the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night.

As the top family in Aoki County, the Luo family is getting deeper and darker, and it is still very lively.

Today is the day of Second Master Luo, Luo Hongtuna's concubine, and the wealthy businessmen in the city basically come to give gifts and congratulations.

However, Luo Hongtu's face is big, and there are still people who don't buy his face.

In the Feibai Pavilion, with bright eyes and bright teeth, with vermilion lips, the beautiful and moving Luo Feirong, the third lady of the Luo family, is wearing revealing clothes and a handsome and beautiful man dressed elegantly, hooking up and flirting.

Since the unexpected death of Luo Feirong's third fiancé a few years ago, she has become more and more indifferent to the rumors in the city, and she has been playing more and more.

"Miss! There's a teenager outside the door, Steward Liu asked me to inform you!"

Just when the atmosphere was ambiguous and Luo Feirong was hot and dry, a guard who was guarding outside suddenly spoke.

Luo Feirong suppressed the anger in her heart, and said with her eyebrows slightly raised: "Did you say anything?"

"Say it's news about the elixir!"

"Elixir?"

Luo Feirong's eyebrows furrowed together, and a trace of surprise rose in her heart.

The news that he came to sell the elixir in the middle of the night was still a teenager, and there was something unusual in it.

"It's kind of interesting!"

Luo Feirong licked her delicate red lips, put on a wide coat to cover her bumpy jade body, and prepared to go to the front hall to have a look.

The steward in charge of the reception is not brainless waste, and if it is not an important matter, he will definitely not come to disturb his Yaxing.

"Rong Rong, can you not go?"

Seeing that Luo Feirong was leaving, the handsome man who had already been teased and was about to go crazy hurriedly spoke out to stay.

"It's not early!Xu Gongzi, it's better to go back and rest early!"

Luo Feirong smiled at the handsome man, and pushed the door away.

It's not the first time that a handsome man has come to do this kind of thing, knowing that Luo Feirong is a weak woman who can be picked by you on the surface, but in her bones she is a ruthless and decisive femme fatale. Otherwise, how could the Luo family leave all the business to her.

The peony flower dies, and the ghost is also romantic.

Even if you know that it is an abyss, under the beauty of Luo Feirong, there is still an endless stream of young and handsome people, who are willing to take risks and want to kiss Fangze.

"It seems that I really didn't have a chance today!"

Xu Gongzi sighed, got dressed, and left through the back door.

And Luo Feirong, guarded by several guards, arrived at the front hall and met the young man.

Dressed plainly, with a delicate face, holding a white mouse in his hand, he looked thirteen or fourteen years old.

It is the apprentice of the Xuanji Pavilion - Yun Yi!
