The night is clear, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky.

The candlelight was dim, and two lanterns hung over the door.

And he saw the crescent moon hidden behind the clouds.

And he saw the lantern slowly moving before the wind.

There was a slight cold Qing Shang blowing from the sky, and it blew on the plaque with gold characters on a red background.

Look up first, and look at the plaque with gold characters on a red background, which is inscribed with three big characters of 'Rainbow Carp Pavilion'.

I know that this place is Pingshui County.

It is known that this building is the rainbow carp museum.

It is the only gold-lettered signboard in the county.

There is the only beautiful shopkeeper in the county.

Looking down again, looking at the half-open vermilion gate, there was a graceful woman standing in the pavilion.

The woman is holding a thin embroidered fan in her hand, wearing a Qi skirt, and wearing a light-colored leather fur on her shoulders, which is both resistant to the autumn cold and not bloated, elegant and dignified, atmospheric and magnificent. The woman was not tall, probably less than five feet, more than half a meter, she was not fat, and her thin skirt looked very spacious on it.

I also saw the woman standing behind the half-high brown lacquer account desk, looking down at the slightly yellowed restaurant account book on the table, a few strands of soft green silk hanging obediently on its chest, as if to cover up, but could not stop the beautiful scenery.

The woman's name is You Qian, and she is the shopkeeper of this rainbow carp house.

is also the bookkeeper of this rainbow carp hall today.

...... It's just that it's not as handy as Bai Xiucai.

As the number one restaurant in Pingshui County, the Hongli Restaurant is full of guests, and there are dozens of pages of accounts written in it. In the past, when Bai Xiucai was there, it was okay, and he was quite good at art to deal with the matter of white and black letters, and he calculated quickly and accurately every time, and it was mostly mental arithmetic, and he didn't even need to dial the brass abacus - otherwise, the people in this county town would not call him Bai Xiucai, right?

It was only a few years ago that Bai Xiucai left the county town with his sword, and this calculation fell on the shoulders of the shopkeeper You...... It is true that Shopkeeper You is not unskilled in arithmetic - since she is the shopkeeper of the family, these basic skills must naturally be mastered. It's just that You Qian has been missing a few books for a long time, and now she is in a hurry, so it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, and she will count a little bit of money and a little money.

Although in fact, many times, those diners who come to Hongli Restaurant to eat and drink will not care about the negligence of these ten or twenty articles...... But the shopkeeper You didn't want to go, and felt that the serious signboard of his restaurant couldn't be smashed in his own hands.

So every night after the restaurant was closed, after the table and chair railings were wiped clean in the Xiaoer Running Hall, he walked to the account desk alone, squinted and carefully looked at his own accounts, and carefully calculated again, and warned himself while checking whether there were any mistakes, so that he would not make the same mistake again.

There is a scene of this moment.

There was a little candle flame flickering.

There is this fluttering skirt.

There is.

Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps came to my ears, and then stopped at the threshold under the lantern.

She was slightly stunned, noticing the strange sound that was incompatible with the silent sound of the autumn night, and looked up involuntarily.

I saw a figure next to the Zhumen for a long time, and out of nowhere, a figure came.

The figure wears a pitch-black hat, an equally jet-black cloak, and a short knife with a curved sheath pinned to his waist, which shows that he is not a kind person.

Seeing this, You Qian blinked quickly, a little puzzled and a little panicked.

She gently closed the ledger on the table, put down the thin fan, and unconsciously stretched out her slightly trembling right hand to the waist of the skirt.

There, a blue jade dagger was hidden.

Its name is Mandarin Duck, and it is one of the daggers made of Mandarin Duck Lingyu, which was given to her by the Yue'er girl wearing a white veil before leaving Pingshui County.

You Qian grasped the dagger.

Although she has not touched a sword for about twenty years, she still has

I haven't practiced any Qimen martial arts for twenty years...... But if the figure is really not good, You Qian will definitely not want to be arrested.

She had never been willing to be caught.

She has never rested on her laurels.

Twenty years ago, when this rainbow carp pavilion was first opened, it was like this.

Twenty years later, the same is true when faced with this figure.

You Qian took a gentle breath, and her rose and fell slightly.

She's lucky.

And the unkind figure seemed to notice her luck, and saw him raise his hat slightly, and raised his hand suddenly, that is—

- made a compilation.

Then, open your mouth.

"May I ask if Your Excellency is the shopkeeper of You?"

It's a suave male voice.

You Qian was slightly stunned, her right hand holding the jade dagger loosened slightly, and she said slightly: "Yes, dare to ask you ......"

"Ahh ”

I saw the figure in the hat and cloak saluting, reached out and took out a brown and yellow envelope from his arms, took two steps forward, bent down and inserted the envelope in the gap next to the door, and then arched his hand at her and said: "There is a letter here, the head of the family asked me to send it to Yu Pingshuiyou's shopkeeper." I'll deliver it here. ”

You Qian blinked, still a little surprised, looking at the figure and wondering: "The head of the family, who is the head of the family?"

"Meng Yue Yin's family. ”

I heard the figure bow his head and reply: "Then if Your Excellency has no other problems, I will go back first - the road is long, and I still don't want to delay in Xia." ”

You Qian shook her head slightly.

She hadn't recovered from her surprise yet, so naturally there were no other problems.

Then he saw the figure salute slightly, and then turned to the city street, and then his eyes flashed, and he disappeared at the end of the street corner as light as a swallow.

He came like the wind, and he went like the wind.

The wind passed without a trace, making everything as if nothing had happened.

Apart from...... Except for the brown and yellow envelope that was inserted in the crack of the door.

Seeing the account counter, You Qian blinked, looked at the envelope of unknown origin, hesitated for a moment, still held the palm slightly, held her breath a little, slowly walked to the door, bent down and took it down.

Then, open the seal with your fingers and open the letterhead.

Slipping out of it was a thick pile of white rice paper with black letters written on it.

You Qian froze for a moment.

She hadn't read what was written on the rice paper.

She didn't see the inscription on the rice paper.

She only caught a glimpse of the black letters.

But she knew the black letters.

She knew the black handwriting.

Because she has seen these handwriting thousands of times.

On that slightly yellowed ledger.

This is Bai Xiucai's handwriting.

Or rather.

This is Wang Manxiu's handwriting.

......

'Shopkeeper, Xiaosheng has gone to Mengyue City in the Western Regions. Although the customs here are different from those of Pingshui, they are also similar, and the folk customs are simple......

'The shopkeeper, the people of Meng Yue City are very hospitable. Several local people, such as the Yin family and the Sima family, all talked happily with Xiaosheng and talked happily......

'Shopkeeper, Xiaosheng has been to Zhou's house. I saw the 'Mei Zhou Niang' you said, she is good now, and the people of the Zhou family treat her well...... Xiao Sheng whispered to her about Xiao Carp, and she was so happy......

'The shopkeeper, after two years, he is going to climb the mountain. It is a mountain that is not too high, and it is called Ninglin. But the son of the Zhou family insisted on pulling Xiaosheng to go, and Xiaosheng couldn't shirk it, so he had to go...... It's just that after climbing the mountain, I'm afraid that you will have to take Xiaosheng to travel around the Western Regions, and it may be difficult to send a letter for a while......

"Shopkeeper, everyone is okay? Xiao Er ran the hall and they don't gamble every day, right? Xiao Carp can study seriously?"

'Shopkeeper, you ......'

It was only a letter of a thousand words, but the candle on the ledger had been quietly extinguished, and turned into a wisp of green smoke.

I saw her sitting on the steps under the golden plaque, lowering her eyes slightly, silently reading this thin and soft rice paper, reading this sentence may be nonsense, and may be a sincere and faint speech.

She finished reading.

She smiled.

She raised an eyebrow.

Then I saw that in the hazy starry night, there was a round of crescent moon that flickered brightly and dimly.

A crescent moon that hangs high above the sky, and only the immortals in the sky can get it.

A crescent moon that could always be seen no matter where she and he were.

Maybe he's looking at it now.

You Qian smiled sweetly.

She raised her eyes to look at the bright moon, and she didn't know if she suddenly touched the scene, or if she wanted to vomit quickly-she saw that her face was a little red for some reason, and her expression was a little like a girl, and she hesitated for a moment, but still opened her lips lightly.

"Wang Manxiu. ”

I heard her whisper, "If I were younger, I would be younger...... You say, are we'll-"

"Auntie?"

But suddenly, a childish child's voice came into my ears from behind.

You Qian trembled in a hurry, quickly folded the rice paper and hid it in her skirt, and immediately looked back.

I saw that on the antique mahogany stairs, there was a little girl in a shawl and pajamas who was rubbing her eyes with one hand and holding a cotton pillow embroidered with a wild goose with the other, and asked in a glutinous voice, "Who are you talking to?"

"What's the talk?"

You Qian raised her hand and stroked the green silk on both sides of her face, and then wiped her hand on her skirt with a little thief's heart, hid the brown and yellow envelope, and said softly: "Little carp, why are you awake?"

"I can't sleep much......"

Xiao Li, who was still rubbing her eyes, naturally didn't notice You Qian's movements, nor did she see the blush on her face, she just muttered and whispered, "I want my aunt to tell me a story......

Bedtime stories, fairy tales, good stories.

Seeing You Qian raise her lips slightly, she carefully crossed the threshold of the store, and entered the inner door and said, "Okay, but when your aunt finishes the story, you will have to sleep obediently." ”

The little carp nodded obediently and gave a soft 'um-'.

You Qian smiled, carefully stepped over the threshold of the store, and entered.

Then he went back and grabbed the two mahogany doors with both hands and slowly closed them.

It is to see, the line between heaven and earth.

It is to see, the moon is together.

She raised her head slightly, and finally looked at the bright moon tonight.

'Bai Xiucai, come back early. ’
