After some fiddling, the old man quickly cleaned up and moved the silkworm chrysalis directly under the candle flame.

The dim candle flame reflects the silkworm chrysalis, which seems to emit a faint fluorescence on the chrysalis, colorful, and cute.

Mu Zishang couldn't help but reach out and poke it, but was slapped to the side by the old man, "It's not that I haven't seen it, why are you still like a monkey." ”

Mu Zishang stuck out her tongue and took out a small white jade-colored stone box from her arms, "No," she suddenly looked proud again, "Zishang went out this time and brought back a small thing, Master can help take a look?"

"Oh, what's the matter, you still want to see it for the teacher?" The old man was slightly curious.

Mu Zishang opened the stone box and raised his hand to push it to the old man, "Oh, that's it, the little guy gave me half of the favor, I made a lot of money." ”

I saw that the stone box was full of fine velvet, and a light gray silkworm chrysalis in the fine velvet was lying there quietly, very similar to the gray silkworm chrysalis of the old man, but the silkworm chrysalis was entangled with faint red silk, and it didn't seem to be very similar.

"Half-love?" The old man raised his eyebrows.

Mu Zishang stuck out her tongue in a weak heart, smirked and didn't speak.

The old man didn't ask any more, he casually glanced at the things in the stone box, was stunned, and then picked up the stone box and looked at it carefully, "This is ....... Heart Devouring Gu?"

Mu Zishang immediately smiled and narrowed her eyes, nodded, with a proud face, and did not forget to pat her master's ass, "It's still the master's eyes like a torch." ”

The old man suddenly shook his head again and muttered, "No, no, this is different, it doesn't smell like this." He looked up at the woman in red, his brows furrowed slightly, "What's going on with this Gu?"

Mu Zishang was surprised, although she trusted the character of the little guy, she was still worried, and told the old man about everything in Zhenjiang County.

The old man listened carefully to the woman's story, but he couldn't help frowning, hesitated, and said, "You Gu is a little weird, do you mind staying here for a few days?"

Mu Zishang was slightly stunned, but she didn't hesitate much, and nodded briskly.

Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but smile, "But since it is something that the little guy gave you, the master will naturally not be greedy himself, if you want to go back at any time, you can always speak." ”

Mu Zishang naturally nodded again.

The old man smiled again and asked, "Zishang is the crown this year?"

Mu Zishang looked at the old man strangely and replied, "Yes, it will be twenty after May." ”

"Well, twenty years old, not small. The old man nodded slightly, and added, "I have also learned three or four points in Gu art, which is not bad, and I can't lose face as a teacher." ”

The old man has rarely praised people, and rarely praised people so obviously, but now this inexplicable praise really makes Mu Zishang a little confused.

"Master, but you're thinking about Zishang these days?" she thought about it and asked strangely.

The old man glanced at her and continued, "Your Senior Uncle Gong and Senior Uncle Yao are both out, and besides, your Senior Uncle Fang's apprentices are also preparing to go out, when are you going to go out?"

Mu Zishang's expression froze slightly, and he really let the little guy guess correctly, pulled up the old man's sleeve and began to be coquettish, "Zishang just came back, this chair hasn't been hot yet, and the master is rushing Zishang again?

When the old man saw Mu Zisheng, he was not surprised at all and guessed that she should have known earlier, so he ignored Mu Zisheng's affection, and only said calmly: "Someone should have told you earlier?"

Mu Zishang pursed her lips in disappointment, withdrew the hand that pulled the old man's sleeve, and said angrily: "Hmph, I don't ask how Zishang is doing outside, whether she is doing well, but if she is bullied by others, the master will know to catch Zishang...... Ahh ”

The old man shook his head helplessly and poked the woman's forehead, "If everyone goes out, you don't go out?"

"Hmph!" Mu Zishang disagreed, still pouting, and snorted dissatisfiedly from his nose.

The old man didn't pay attention to this stubble anymore, and smiled again, "I didn't send you the Gu for the teacher, and I don't plan to return it?"

Mu Zishang's expression was stagnant again, and she reluctantly took out a turquoise bamboo tube from her arms and handed it back to the old man.

The old man took it casually and put it on the table, "It's useless?"

Mu Zishang rolled her eyes at the old man, "What do you say?"

The old man didn't care, and said calmly: "But you think that as a teacher, you shouldn't use Gu to calculate that little guy?"

Mu Zishang pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped paying attention to the old man.

The old man smiled slightly, "Sooner or later, he will come to this road, if he is not calculated by the teacher today, he will be planted in the hands of others in the future, if he is in charge of his life and death." He sighed slightly and muttered to himself, "I cherish his qualifications, at least he has some freedom in my hands, just to be your junior brother, but if you let others calculate, you will really be a puppet of others." ”

Mu Zishang didn't understand the old man's meaning, and frowned slightly.

......

Before I knew it, it was almost late at night, and the slight moisture was damp and the night was deep.

Xiao Feng stretched slightly, turned his head and said softly: "Frost and cold, it's not early, go back?"

Leng Shuanghan stood up, hesitated for a moment and asked, "Will the son of the Tangmen birthday banquet show up?"

"No," Xiao Feng shook his head, "I'm here just to catch up on the old days, as for the excitement, I'll take a look, but it's limited to a few small places, and I'm not going to meddle in some things." His tone paused slightly, "But you don't have to look at my attitude to what you want to do, you can just take action if you think it's right, just have to grasp some measure." ”

Leng Shuanghan nodded, she naturally knew what Xiao Feng meant. The words and deeds of the six envoys represent the attitude of the Floating Tower, and the most taboo thing is to be biased, so Tangjiabao can naturally help, but not too much.

Then she wanted to speak and stopped.

Xiao Feng and Leng Shuanghan looked at each other, as if they could see what she was thinking, and continued: "As for those guys, I only met them a few days ago and stopped greeting them, and I don't need to mention it to them when I came to Tangjiabao. In addition, Fengqing's side seems to be a little troublesome, don't use force, you can go talk to the old man for me, or let him come to me directly. Just remember one thing, the truth has to be taught, but we will never tie people, and of course, we will never let people be wronged in vain. ”

Leng Shuanghan didn't seem to understand, and nodded slightly.

Xiao Feng suddenly said, "Do you want to know Tianqing's whereabouts?"

Leng Shuanghan was slightly stunned, and a strange look flashed in his eyes, and then he was not shocked, and only looked straight at the young man.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but laugh again, "I won't tell you." ”

Leng Shuanghan rolled his eyes, turned around and left.

The boy who sat by the lake in the middle of the night didn't care, still smiling.

The crisp laughter is spread in the silent night, and the starlight is brilliant, reflecting the bright surface of the lake, and the night is particularly beautiful and peaceful, it seems that there is no worry, it seems that there is no need to worry.
