Chapter 23 Water Stewardship
After Shen Xingluo followed the people of Wanqing Pavilion, Lu Yaozhi looked at the people on the ground with disgust, took out two small paper figures with a length of one finger from the bag and threw them on the ground. As soon as the paper figure landed, it grew in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it grew to the knee height of an adult.
Lu Yao nodded and said, "Lift it up and go." ”
Two thin little paper figures, as if they would be blown away by the wind, one of them raised his head quickly, and the other carried his feet, and he carried Zhou Licheng out steadily.
"Let's go. Lu Yaozhi shook off the hem of his clothes and followed with a malicious smile.
Tang Wenxuan got up and beckoned the guys to settle the bill, and asked Bai Yunfei and Xiang'er to quickly follow Lu Yaozhi.
"Do you think Uncle Shi is a little strange?" Bai Yunfei chased after Lu Yaozhi at a rapid pace, and at the same time did not forget to bite Xiang'er's ear and whisper.
Xiang'er shook her head, she had only known Lu Yaozhi for a few days, because she had a bad impression of him, so she had been with Shen Xingluo or Tang Wenxuan, trying to avoid getting along with Lu Yaozhi, and she didn't think he was strange at all.
"Uncle Shi is too enthusiastic. "Bai Yunfeidao, Uncle Shi is not a person who likes to take care of things.
Xiang'er glanced at her strangely: "Isn't it normal for my senior sister to be enthusiastic about what my senior sister told him?"
Bai Yunfei was stunned for a moment, speechless, so he had to mutter: "Where is normal, obviously not normal?"
"Oh, hurry up, I can't keep up with Senior Brother Lu anymore. After that, Xiang'er impatiently pulled Bai Yunfei's sleeve and trotted to catch up with Lu Yaozhi, who was only caring about himself.
Anyway, Senior Sister said, let her follow Senior Brother Lu closely, listen more, watch more, learn more, she just needs to obediently listen to Senior Sister's words.
At the same time, Shen Xingluo followed the people of Wanqing Pavilion to Wanqing Pavilion.
As the largest black market in the Mengwu Mountains, Wanqing Pavilion is not gray and low-key as people imagined, but a high-profile and unassuming anti-people's perception, occupying a whole street from east to west.
It is built with seven floors high, the eaves are like wings, and the beams are carved and painted everywhere, revealing luxury and delicacy in the atmosphere. The exterior wall is lavishly inlaid with countless moonstones, and the white light outlines the outline of the entire attic in the dark, like an aura, and the end is majestic, which makes people unable to ignore.
Five rows of gates face north, all wide open, and the high vermilion threshold encloses Wanqing Pavilion inside.
The strong man in the lead asked the brothers to drink first, and took Shen Xingluo inside. At this time, although it was night, the lights inside were bright, and the figures were surging like a tide.
Shen Xingluo followed the strong man into through the easternmost second door, which was a spacious hall that could accommodate several thousand people, divided into several relatively private areas by several exquisite screens.
In addition, there are more than 20 private rooms on both sides, and there is a sign hanging in front of each private room, on which some numbers are written on the dragons and phoenixes. The numbers are relatively large, and the larger the amount, the fewer people enter and exit the private room.
There is an empty space in the innermost part of the lobby, where countless storage pots are placed, each of which contains a vigorous evergreen plant. These evergreen leaves are fat and big, each leaf is the width of Shen Xingluo's palm, and the leaves are green and oily, like small trees that are pulling long branches.
After entering the door, the strong man's strong waist had never straightened up, and his face full of flesh was piled with a flattering smile. Most of the people who came and went here were monks, and it was already a great honor for him to be a mortal to come in, and where would he dare to offend these distinguished guests.
Shen Xingluo followed the strong man closely, and while he was not paying attention, he quietly touched the screen closest to him. Before my fingers touched the screen, I felt a slight pain in my fingertips, as if I had been pricked by a needle.
Sure enough, Shen Xingluo secretly said in his heart, no wonder he felt that his divine sense and cultivation had been further suppressed after coming in, it turned out that these decorations were engraved with formations, which were used to suppress the cultivation of those who came in. It seems that Wan Qingge is also very afraid that someone will make trouble here.
The corners of Shen Xingluo's mouth twitched slightly, and with a seemingly inadvertent flick of his sleeve, a small black particle as thin as a sesame seed quietly fell under the screen frame, perfectly blending with the black legs.
Along the way, she threw about twenty or thirty of them like a cannon, some at the foot of the screen, some at the base of the wall, and some in the trouser legs of the men in gray linen clothes who were shuttling through the crowd. In short, all the hidden places she could see were buried by her one by one.
The strong man leading the way in front stopped for a moment, looked around, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned his head and smiled: "Fairy Shen, please go this way." As he spoke, he kept walking all the way to a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe.
"Water stewardship. ”
The man called the water steward squinted the corners of his eyes, continued to stare at the distinguished guests coming and going in the hall with his hands behind his back, and said casually: "It's Pi Wu, what's the matter?"
The water steward was the head of the lobby in Wanqing Pavilion, and he recognized Pi Wu at a glance. This flattered Pi Wu, his excited eyes turned red, and his nose continued to tremble. It took a while to remember what was going on, his eyes glanced at Shen Xingluo, and he whispered a few words.
The water steward seemed to be startled when he heard this, and looked at the little girl standing two steps away from him with a suspicious look.
On the contrary, Shen Xingluo saw that he only looked at himself and didn't speak, so he said generously: "The water management is good, contemptible Shen Xingluo." ”
The water steward hurriedly put away the surprise on his face, smiled and took a few steps forward and said, "Shen Xiaodao is friendly," and then paused for a moment and seemed to not know what to say, and after thinking about it, he said, "There is no worry about entering the water, it is the outer steward of the Wujia Building of Wanqing Pavilion." ”
Shen Xingluo's eyes flashed slightly, he didn't know if Wujialou was the name of this hall, or something else, it felt strange to hear. The vultures are priceless and priceless, and you are a trader regardless of the price.
The answer is obvious, it's fate.
Who knows if it will be the nourishment of these evergreens in the future? Shen Xingluo's eyes fell on the pots of quiet evergreens that couldn't be ignored by people, and secretly thought about how many lives needed to be filled in such a evergreen plant.
The water steward on the side saw Shen Xingluo's gaze falling on Wan Nianqing curiously, and said with a smile and pretending to be mysterious: "Little Daoist friend is curious about how this Wan Nianqing grows so big?"
Shen Xingluo was slightly stunned, this still needs to be asked, isn't it a well-known thing? When he looked up and saw the water steward's gentle smile as if he was coaxing a child, he suddenly felt a slight embarrassment in his heart, this steward wouldn't treat her as an ignorant three-year-old child.
But although her age may be less than a fraction of the age of others, she has been taking care of the affairs of the Dust Hall for more than three years, and she has handled not a thousand but eight hundred, large and small things, and those so-called secret things are also commonplace, not to mention this kind of thing that is almost known to everyone.
The water steward was very embarrassed by Shen Xingluo's surprised eyes, Rao is he is well-informed, and he never thought that the director of the cave mansion of the dignified Yuanying Daojun was actually a child in his early tens, nor did he think that the secret that he thought could arouse the curiosity of children was not worth mentioning to the other party.
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, the water steward tilted his head slightly, clenched his fist and gently cleared his throat at the edge of his mouth: "We are buried under at least three and a half?" said and stretched out his finger to make a gesture of three, with a face of "You look very scary, you quickly ask me what am three and a half" expression.
Shen Xingluo: ......
She suppressed the laughter that was about to burst into laughter, and turned around expressionlessly. Uncle, can you not be so funny at your age. Wan Qing Pavilion let such a person be the steward in the lobby, it really made her worry about Wan Qing Ge's future, okay?
tried his best to coax the child's water steward, but was ruthlessly thrown a back, and his heart was very sad. Is he so bad, he can't even complete the simple task of teasing the child, and can't make this little guest happy, will the shopkeeper blame him for his bad work and punish him for sweeping the lobby?
The sad water steward was still immersed in his emotions, when he heard Shen Xingluo say something that surprised him even more.
"What about your host, wouldn't it be to invite me over with such fanfare, just to watch the spirit plant?" Shen Xingluo straightened his chest and put on a confident look, everything was in my expectation.
Not to mention, as soon as this look was swayed, the water steward really didn't dare to treat her as a three-year-old child, so he smiled at the doll, looked at her squarely, straightened his face, and took a diagonal step to make a "please" posture.
"Shen Daoyou, please come here. ”
The "small" in the middle has been subconsciously blocked by him.
Shen Xingluo was very satisfied with his attitude at the moment, and sure enough, what the second senior brother said was right, pretending to be profound, who wouldn't. Anyway, she has such a big backer as Shizun behind her, and the more she behaves with cold and arrogant disdain, the more jealous others will be, and the more they dare not act rashly.
