Early in the morning, Liu Buxiu yawned and stood in the front hall, stretched a big lazy waist, and rubbed his somewhat stiff neck. Since Sheng Qichisu and Qiqi's parents came, Liu Buxiu and Yu Xiaohang have not slept very well in the past two days, and it is better to say that they are boiling "eagles" at night, but it is better to say that they are boiling the two of them.

Yu Xiaohang is okay, after all, he has nothing on his mind. Usually he sleeps to death, except for his father who is a little uncomfortable when he leaves, and the rest of the time he is busy in the kitchen, and there is nothing worth his concern. Qiqi's incident was a big deal, but now that the person has returned and is not injured, there is no need to worry.

Liu Buxiu is different, in just a few days, since he received a simple commission from the Lehi couple, things have become more and more complicated. The major sects in the rivers and lakes appeared one after another, and the evil warriors who had disappeared for 20 years appeared, and they were inexplicably caught in the battle for the royal family's succession.

And his unreliable old beggar master Bu knows, he has no news, and he handed over Langya Lou to himself, and he doesn't know what his intentions are. In addition, after today, it will be the day when Wenyan Lie forced the palace, resulting in people like Liu Buxiu, who have no resistance to laziness, unable to sleep peacefully, so I got up early today.

Liu Buxiu turned his neck in a circular motion, and he heard the sound of two joint movements of "click". Stretching his arms, he walked to the door, removed the deadbolt, and pulled the door open. The bright sun shone on Liu Buxiu's body, feeling warm, and the cool wind in the early morning could almost be ignored.

Liu Bunon, who was enjoying himself at the door with his eyes closed, inadvertently opened his eyes and glanced at the beckoning cat at the door. found that Bu Jingxin was not next to the beckoning cat, and I didn't know what news to inquire about. The beckoning cat's eyes still had frightening blood, but instead of red, they turned black, and it looked like it was blind.

Liu Buxiu walked in front of the beckoning cat, and took a closer look at the stone sculpture that had stayed here since he came to Shiwan Lane, and the more he looked at it, the more strange he felt. After I came to Shiwan Lane, I had never looked at this beckoning cat very seriously.

The custom of placing a stone carving of a beckoning cat in front of the door, or placing a beckoning cat object in the house, has a long history, and its origin and rumors are also different. Although the statements are different, the more mainstream saying is generally that the kitten repays the favor and later helps the owner make a fortune, and the beckoning cat is also divided into male and female.

The general male cat is a large stone carving placed outside the shop, raising the right hand, which means to attract customers, so that the customers are endless, so that the business is prosperous, symbolizing wealth and treasure, wealth and prosperity. The female cat is mostly small, the material is different, placed at home, which means that the good fortune, good luck, and blessing the family and Shun.

There is also a special one, which is to raise the hands high, as if shouting "Long live". It is not difficult to guess the use, and the word long live must be the royal family to afford. The beckoning cat with both hands is mostly used in various royal ceremonies, such as the ritual of worshipping the heavens during the catastrophe, and then gradually evolved and gradually became the symbol of the imperial businessman.

But the hands of the beckoning cat at the door of the house were not raised, what does this mean? Liu Buxiu touched his chin and fell into deep thought, thinking about it and remembering that when Qi Qi first came to the house of everything, he asked for this beckoning cat by name, could it be that Qi Qi knew the use of this rabbit?

Thinking of this, Liu Buxiu was just about to enter the house to find Qi Qi, when he saw Qi Qi Liu Fang and Yu Xiaohang walking out of the front hall, Yu Xiaohang was still carrying a vegetable basket in his hand, as if he was going to buy vegetables.

Liu Buxiu walked over to the three of them and asked, "Xiaohang, go grocery shopping?"

"Yes, shopkeeper. We're more people in the house now, so we're buying more this time. Yu Xiaohang nodded.

"Xiaofang, Qiqi. Xiaohang went grocery shopping, why are you two going?" Liu Buxiu turned his head and asked Liu Fang and Qi Qi.

"Go buy medicine. Qi Qi replied.

"Who's hurt? But it's so early, and the pharmacy hasn't opened yet. Liu Buxiu was very puzzled, they didn't fight with others, where did the wounded come from.

"Brother, that's right. Senior Yao improved the beauty mask yesterday, improving the efficacy and making it thinner and more convenient. She said that there was a shortage of several medicinal herbs, so we went to buy them for her. And looking at the situation of Xiao Gang and Yu Zhao, maybe they will be injured one day, so they just prepared some medicinal materials to stop bleeding by the way, so they are prepared. Liu Fang explained

"Shopkeeper, you don't know. Recently, we opened a new pharmacy in Shiwan Lane, which is open for twelve hours a day, and there is a blind masseuse who can treat myopia. Yu Xiaohang added.

"Oh, I see, we can take Xiaogang to try it when we're done here. Liu Buxiu recalled the emotional drama staged yesterday and asked: "How is Xiaogang's state, how is his mood, did he hit him yesterday? and Yuzhao, how is she doing there?"

Yuzhao didn't know that Xiao Gang was still lying on the old chair and being tied, it didn't seem like a big problem, and now he was waiting for Lin Xing like a harem concubine. Yu Xiaohang said.

Liu Buxiu nodded, Xiao Gang was not hit, and Liu Buxiu really couldn't help with his feelings, so he turned to look at Yu Zhao and Qi Qi.

Yu Zhao didn't change much, she still had a cold face, but she seemed to have something on her mind, and she didn't sleep well last night, so she probably practiced swords in the courtyard at this time. Liu Fang recalled for a moment and said.

"Oh, yes. Qiqi, let me ask you, do you know the meaning of this beckoning cat?" Liu Buxiu asked Qiqi by pointing to the beckoning cat that had just found something strange.

"What does it mean to be a shopkeeper? I don't know, isn't it cute? If you ask my master about the rest, he should know. Qiqi blinked his eyes, as if he really didn't know what was strange about the beckoning cat, and looked at the beckoning cat suspiciously and replied.

Thinking of Zheng Da's attitude towards himself, where did Liu Buxiu dare to ask him, Qi Qi did often say some strange things and do some strange things, it is estimated that she didn't even understand the difference between her mother and her left and right hands, so she asked in vain.

"What's the matter, shopkeeper, is there something wrong with this cat?" Yu Xiaohang also looked at the beckoning cat when he heard this.

"It's nothing, I just think some of the looks are a little weird. Liu Buxiu didn't want to continue the topic, so he changed the topic and asked Qiqi: "Qiqi, have you asked your master? ”

He asked, but he didn't say. Because the people of our Qianjimen usually wear masks and rely entirely on the order of the head of the sect to communicate, even my master doesn't know the number of people, and now only Senior Brother Wen Song shows up, and he does everything to contact. ”

"Oh. Liu Buxiu nodded, the number of people in the Thousand Machine Gate is unknown, and now he can only hope that Xiao Yue can gather more people when he goes to the boat gang.

"Shopkeeper, there's nothing else to do, let's go first, and if it's too late, we'll have to buy something that won't be fresh. Yu Xiaohang still had his ingredients in his heart, and asked out loud.

"Go, go, come back early, don't forget to go to your uncle to get a few clothes, Xiao Gang's clothes are a little worn out these days." Liu Buxiu waved his hand, signaling that the three of them could go, and said.

Liu Fang, Yu Xiaohang and Qi Qi nodded yes, then left Wanshiwu and disappeared at the end of the alley to West Street.

Liu Buxiu looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, stunned, and thinking about the beckoning cat. At this time, there was a sudden sound of "Young Mansion Master" behind him, and Liu Buxiu turned his head to see that it was the step he was still looking for just now.

"Where have you gone, and what's new?" asked Liu Buxiu as he walked back two steps.

Bu Jingxin followed behind him with a broken bowl and replied: "Young landlord, it is really as you expected." The Ten Princes really concealed a lot of things, just an hour ago, Ye Guanlan, the master of the Gun Alliance, went to the private house that the Ten Princes Wen Yanzheng bought, and he hasn't come out yet. ”

"Hmm? It stands to reason that since you dare to let the people of the Gun Alliance be the leaders of the forbidden army, most of them are the emperor's people. But now that the master of the Gun League has actually gone to see Wen Yanzheng, is this the emperor's wish or the Gun Alliance's own assertions?" Liu Buxiu took a deep breath, his expression solemn.

"Young landlord, don't blame your subordinates for being too talkative. The subordinates felt that it didn't matter whether it was the emperor's intention or the gun alliance's intention. Bu said boldly.

"Oh? Liu Buxiu raised an eyebrow and motioned for Bu to continue.

"You see, the Gun Alliance is directly controlled by the emperor, and after the emperor dies, he will naturally hand it over to Wen Yanzheng. Even if it wasn't the emperor's intention, the gun alliance made its own opinion, it would be no different, anyway, Wen Yanzheng, the crown prince, was basically decided. ”

"Yes, that's right. We just need to know that the Gun Alliance is the force of the Ten Princes Wen Yanzheng, no matter who he means, as long as he doesn't stab us in the back, we just ignore them. Liu Buxiu nodded and said.

"Any other news?"

"Back to the young landlord, there is a big news. Tomorrow, the four princes Wen Yanlie will hold a banquet in Yihong Courtyard, and from the time of the time to the time of the child, there will be dignitaries from all walks of life. ”

"Hmph, these four princes are really going to break the boat. actually used such a clumsy excuse to divert attention, which is obviously to find a way out for himself. Liu Buxiu snorted coldly and sneered. "Most of the people who are invited to go will have a long meal at this meal, if Wen Yanlie Guangdemen fails to enter the palace, a group of powerful people will become his bargaining chips. ”

"Young landlord, do you need us to do anything?" asked Bu Jingxin.

"No, even if we don't keep an eye on the four princes' side, the ten princes will definitely not watch all the heads of the ministers who assist him fall to the ground in the future, and he will care more about the lives of the ministers than we do. You still keep an eye on the Ten Princes Wen Yanzheng, I haven't seen his bureau clearly yet, this is the top priority at the moment. Liu Buxiu told him to walk into the house.

"Yes. Bu Jingxin bowed slightly, and sat down in front of the beckoning cat.

"By the way, you go back and ask the four protectors if they have an impression of the beckoning cat behind you?" Liu Buxiu suddenly remembered the matter of the beckoning cat, and stepped out again when he stepped into the house, adding.

"Yes. ”
