Bi Jiu came to a main room, opened the door, and led everyone into the house. There were two rooms, the outhouse and the inner room, and they were very tidy, and they came to the door of the inner room and said, "Do you like this place?"

The young lady looked inside, there were 30 square meters in size, the kang was covered with mats, there was a high table on the ground, on which were placed lacquerware copper kettles, three tree stumps were placed next to the high table to make stools, and two large cabinets were placed against the wall, and a copper mirror was placed on one cabinet, which was very neat and clean.

The young lady pointed to Mo Qing and said to Bi Jiu: "This is my guest Mo Qing, Ying Ning and I live here, and the tired adults will go to settle Mo Qing again." ”

Bi Jiu said to Mo Qing: "The strong man comes with me." He led Mo Qing out and went to a main room next to him.

The young lady opened a cabinet with some burlap bags in it, and opened another as well. helped Ying Ning untie the burden, leaving only Ying Ning's small sack and Miss's small sack, and put everything else into the cabinet and covered the cabinet door. At this moment a few people came in the courtyard, and there was a commotion, and then there was a knock on the door of the young lady's room.

The young lady opened the door, and there was Bi Jiu standing outside, and behind her was a woman leading a child about three years old, and next to the woman there was a woman of about forty and a small servant, who was carrying a burlap bag in his hand.

Bi Jiu pointed to the woman and the child and said, "This is a cheap one, and I have seen adults with dogs." After listening to Bi Jiu, the woman bowed down and saluted, and saw the young lady.

Bi Jiu pointed to the women in their forty or so and said, "This is the minister's chef, who lives with a maid. The women also bowed down to see the young lady.

Bi Jiu pointed to the little servant and continued to introduce: "This is the minister's miscellaneous servants. The little maid put down the burlap bag and bowed his hand to see the young lady.

Bi Jiu said: "A few of them have just come back from going to the street, and I took them to meet the adults first. “

The young lady said, "I already know each other, please come into the house and talk." After saying that, the young lady turned back to the room, came to the back room and sat on the pier by the kang.

Bi Jiu dismissed the people, followed in, closed the door, entered the inner room and sat on the wooden pier at the door, and said: "My lord, rest in peace for one night, and go to the street tomorrow, I will first go to the Zhou Chamber Ceremony Officer to discuss the matter of giving the national treasure, and the Lord can wait to listen to the letter." ”

The young lady said, "What is there to do in Luoyang City?"

Bi Jiudao: "In the south of the city, there is a street of specialty products from all over the world, a street of food from all over the world, near the center of the city, there is the largest restaurant in the city, the Songhe Tower, and the east and west of the city are arranging Spring Festival lantern attractions, adults can go to see it." “

The young lady said, "Thank you, so that I don't have to go around tomorrow." ”

Bi Jiu said, "My lord, rest first, I'll go and see the kitchen." He stood up.

The young lady also stood up and said, "Please prepare a pair of pen and inkstone for me, it will be useful in the next few days." “

Bi Jiu said, "I'll take it in a while." With that, he turned around and went out.

Ying Ning had been standing at the table, went to close the door, sat on the pier and played with the lid of the copper kettle, and the young lady said, "You are okay and go and see if there is anything you need help with." Ying Ning answered the promise and went out. See, don't be seen by the leader when you play during working hours, otherwise you will be busy.

After a while, Ying Ning came back with a pair of pen inkstones, put it on the cabinet and asked the young lady if she needed to polish the ink.

The young lady said, "It's getting late now, it's almost time to eat, you don't need to grind the ink, you go and take the copper kettle to the kitchen." Ying Ning went out with a copper kettle, and came back after a while, saying, "The water hasn't boiled yet, boil it and send it to the maid." ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door, it was Mo Qing and the groom who came, and asked the young lady what she commanded?

The young lady said, "There should be nothing to do these days, you can also go out and have fun." Then he said to Mo Qing: "Tomorrow I will go out with Ying Ning, and you will follow to be in charge of the guard." Mo Qing and the groom answered their promise and went out.

After a while, the maid brought a copper kettle, filled the lacquerware with hot water, and went out.

At about four o'clock in the morning, the maid and the maid followed Bi Jiu to bring dinner, Bi Jiu watched the maid and the little maid busy, and said to the young lady: "The kitchen is in a hurry today, I don't know if it suits the taste of adults, what do you want to eat, adults tell me in time, let's deal with it today." ”

The young lady looked at the dishes on the table with pumpkin roast chicken, winter melon and mutton soup, roast mutton, radish stewed pork, salted eggs, the staple food was sorghum porridge, two rice, yellow rice dumplings and steamed buns, and the drink was a pot of rice wine, and said: "This is very good, thank you for your thoughtfulness." ”

Bi Jiu said: "My lord, please use it slowly, I won't bother, if you need anything, just ask." After saying that, he took his leave and went out.

Miss has never eaten very well, but today she saw that the food in her hometown also came to her appetite, and she and Ying Ning feasted happily, and after a while, she ate a fine meal.

The young lady said to Ying Ning: "You go and clean up, tell the kitchen that we don't have to worry about our meals tomorrow, we need to go to him ourselves." ”

Ying Ning responded, put the wine on the cabinet untouched, stacked the rice pots and vegetable pots, and sent them to the kitchen, and came back with the words of the young lady.

The young lady said that it was still early, and we went out to look around, so the two of us went out of the courtyard and walked along the street.

Now there are fewer people on the streets, only a few children playing. The street is not wide, there are mostly adobe and wood houses on both sides, there are not many blue brick houses like the mansion, there are a few door-face houses, all of which sell more products of the Yan Kingdom.

After turning around and returning home, it was already dark, and the young lady said to Ying Ning: "In the dead of night, you can go and see if there is any open space or uninhabited yard nearby, I will be useful." ”

Ying Ning thought that Miss was still thinking about being addicted to her hands and feet, and said, "Miss don't worry, I will definitely find a good place for you later." ”

The young lady didn't say more, sat up cross-legged and played with the Prajna Heart Sutra.

It must have been late at night when she woke up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw the fox wagging its tail in front of her, looking at herself, and asked, "It's all done?"

The fox wagged his tail and said, "I found an empty yard, two miles to the east." ”

The young lady asked, "How big is the yard?"

The fox said, "Enough for the young lady to use her strengths." ”

The young lady said, "What time is it?"

The fox said, "I just reported my ugliness for a while." ”

The young lady said, "Lead the way in front of the head." ”

The fox turned around, came to the door, cast a spell, opened the door, and ran up to the roof, and the young lady followed closely behind, closing the door and running onto the roof. Both of them are fast, and after a while, they come to a roof.

The fox said, "This is it." ”

Miss carefully inspected the situation in the courtyard under the house, this is a three-entry courtyard in the middle of the roof, the backyard is a small garden, about 500 square meters, there are rockeries and big trees and small pavilions, a tree hangs a swing, a tree hangs a hammock.

The fox said, "It's a merchant's house, and there are two dogs in the backyard, and no one comes to the backyard when it's dark." ”

The young lady said, "You look at it, I'll go down and play." ”

The fox said, "Miss went to play by herself, and I used some mental control methods on this family, and there is no problem with keeping it." ”
