The old man took the two of them back to the front hall, where a middle-aged man in silk was sitting, not tall and slightly hunchbacked. He lowered his eyes and ate his tea, and several men stood beside him, and the young man they saw every year was waiting respectfully to take the teacup he had drunk. Obviously, this middle-aged man had a very high status, and although he calmly drank his tea, there was still an occasional flash of anxiety in his clever and shrewd eyes.

As soon as the old man saw the middle-aged man, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile, "Oh, Steward Wang, why are you here in person, this old medicine shop is simple and dirty, it's really difficult for you." ”

The middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hand, "Okay, okay, I won't say much gossip, you go with me, this house is in chaos now, I can't find anyone else at the moment, you quickly bring the medicine box and follow me to the car." ”

The old man hurriedly said: "Steward Wang, you wait first, you wait first! You have to tell me what happened to the nobles in the mansion first, and I should think about what to bring in advance? If there is an emergency, you can prescribe the right medicine, and you can't rush at this time." ”

The housekeeper frowned and glanced at him, "You have also heard, our lady suddenly fell ill a few days ago, and then several owners and young ladies fell ill one after another, and they were strangely ill. Everyone said that the house was haunted, so they invited a mage and a Taoist priest to exorcise the ghosts, but, alas, it was originally better, but now I don't know what's wrong, our lady is suddenly not good, you go with me, no matter what, the imperial doctors in the palace have to insist. ”

The old man said: "Steward Wang, don't be impatient, Mrs. Guifu is really a good person with her own celestial phenomena, the old man just got a few wood lingzhi today, that is a rare spiritual thing, if Mrs. takes it in time, she will be able to turn evil into good fortune." ”

Steward Wang's eyes lit up when he heard this, "I heard that it is a rare medicinal material that is difficult to buy with money, it can be called a treasure of heaven and earth, how did you find it by this old guy." ”

The old man hurriedly stopped his words, leaned to the side, and smiled modestly: "How can the old man have the good fortune to meet such a treasure, these two girls are willing to sell it to me, and I am just a little luckier." ”

After hearing this, Steward Wang finally looked up at the two of them, with surprise and indescribable emotions in his eyes.

The old man gently turned the Steward Wang with his elbow, and then said: "These two girls have a way to preserve the medicinal effects of this Wood Lingzhi, and they are very good-hearted, and they are willing to help the old man bring this Wood Lingzhi to the Hou Mansion, I wonder if Steward Wang can let the old man take the two of them with him?"

Although he didn't know what the old man's intentions were, he also knew that the old man wanted him to agree, so he smiled and said, "Of course, of course, the car is ready, just stop outside, three of you, please." ”

In this way, Nian Nian and Zhu Mei followed the old man into the carriage at the door and followed Steward Wang to the Hou Mansion.

The carriage of this Hou Mansion was indeed much more luxurious and comfortable than the carriage they had rented before. The colors in the carriage are simple and plain, but the upholstery, the curtains on the walls, and the soft blankets under the feet are all made of excellent materials, giving people a soft and warm feeling.

This carriage is the most excited every year, and along the way, I always secretly lift the curtain and look out the window curiously. Her delicate face loomed behind the small carriage window, and the faint golden mark on her forehead made her look like a goddess, and her eyes seemed to be filled with the power of tranquility, making everyone who accidentally saw her stop in place in shock, reminiscing about the beauty and cleanliness of that glimpse.

"Every year, put down the curtains, you freak people out. Zhu Mei said helplessly.

Nian Nian shrugged his shoulders, and the lilac tongue moved mischievously behind the veil.

The carriage drove into a wide, quiet long street, and finally stopped in front of a delicate iron gate, and the three men came out of the carriage.

Steward Wang also got out of the car and beckoned them: "Let's enter from here." ”

Nian Nian looked at the door, and muttered: "What is the Hou Mansion, I thought it was a powerful place, but the door was so stingy, and it was not far from the grand style of the door of the Yuan Villa!"

The old man listened to the explanation with a smile and told Nian Nian, saying that this was the side door of the Hou Mansion, first, because he was going to the inner courtyard of the Hou Mansion, in order to save time, and second, because the Hou Mansion was haunted and many people in the mansion were seriously ill, he did not want to publicize it everywhere, so he should try not to attract attention. Thinking about the two sides, Steward Wang took everyone to the sidetrack. The main entrance is not on this street.

The old man followed Steward Wang through the winding corridors, but Nian Nian and Zhu Mei were a little strange. Although Liyuan Villa covers a wide area, because the people who built the villa have the heart of escapism and do not want to be burdened by cumbersome appearances, the roads in the villa are simple and the functional areas are clearly divided. And this Hou Mansion is a big business, and it is divided into the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, the walls are meandering, the corridor is tortuous, the scenery changes everywhere, each has its own taste, or elegant or beautiful, it is really dizzying.

And what is even more dizzying is the various maids and subordinates encountered along the way. The girls who looked younger than Nian Nian wore red and green, combed their hair in a uniform bun, and walked lightly but refused to look up easily, giving people the impression of caution.

When Nian and Zhu Mei looked at the people who came and went with interest, they were also quietly looking at the two of them. Dressed in a long dress of one white and one blue, with a light gauze of the same color hanging on her face, her eyes were full of smoke, one was full of curiosity, and the other was sealed with ice. The body is curled like a clear lotus out of the water, and the steps are light like a flying butterfly.

The four of them did not speak, and Steward Wang led the way at the front. Nian Nian had a belly to talk about, but when she got out of the car, Zhu Mei told her not to talk too much, so she had to put away all her curiosity.

It was quiet, but suddenly in the distance there were voices of several people talking loudly, sounding as if they were arguing about something.

The four of them looked over, and on a parallel corridor not far from the corridor they were walking, a group of people turned out from the house opposite.

Led by a man and a woman, followed by a few low-eyed maids.

"I'm so angry, why do they say that my method doesn't work! It already worked a few days ago!" the woman's crisp voice floated over, obviously quite young. She was wearing a pale green skirt at this time, a grass green short blouse was draped over it, her long hair was casually tied in front of her, hanging down along her graceful curves, and a turquoise hairpin was slanted on the top of her head. The girl's face is very delicate, and she looks quite delicate and moving, but her face is angry at the moment, and she is afraid that it is difficult for people to get close.

"Okay, okay, you can also dissipate your anger, a girl's family talks about death or something every day, it's too unusual. The man on the side hurried to follow her, and lowered his voice to remind her.

"You care about me, I'm going to say!" The woman in front suddenly stopped, catching the man who followed behind by surprise and almost bumping into it. She stomped her foot, "Damn, I worked so hard to exorcise the demons before, so I didn't thank you." A group of laymen who don't understand anything actually say that I am a charlatan! Do I look so much like a liar? I really don't know the hearts of good people, and I deserve to be haunted by evil spirits in my family!"

"You be quiet!" The man hurriedly stopped her when he heard this, frowned and scolded her softly: "We are still in someone's house, don't talk so indiscriminately, it's useless to say all this now, you can dissipate your anger and go back to rest." ”

The man's voice was not very beautiful, but it was very comfortable, especially after hearing the woman's sharp words, hearing his soft words of comfort and the reassuring meaning in his words, a hot current flowed in people's hearts for no reason, and even the always cold Zhu Mei raised her eyes to look over.

Nian Nian's eyes followed the figure, looking through the red-painted pillar, the man was dressed as a Taoist priest, wearing a simple cloth robe, although he could only see half of his face, he could already know that he was handsome. It's just that there is something strange in her heart, and she feels that this person seems to have seen it somewhere.

"Hey, I said why aren't you angry at all, have you seen that Wang Steward, just a send-off expression, what kind of thing is he, but just a butler, and dare to be so arrogant!

Steward Wang's face was very ugly at this time, and Nian Nian felt that he had always taken good care of them along the way, so he glanced at him sympathetically.

"Zhiyue, don't mess around, you hurry up and go back and pack your things and leave with me. You also know that we can't come out for too long, and I'm going to send you back safe and sound, we've been here for a long time, and if you don't leave, you're not afraid that your eldest brother and second brother will urge you?"

A dark color flashed in Zhiyue's bright eyes, but the corners of her lips immediately raised a bright smile, just with a hint of teasing: "I know, Xuansheng Dao Chief." But you also know that you must send me back. As for why your master punished you so much to escort me back, you must also know that who let you casually do it when the immortals besieged Chuanshan, and wanted to break the barrier of Chuanshan. Zhiyue was triumphant, obviously poking at Xuansheng's pain.

At this time, it was like falling into an ice cave, and a pair of hands trembled slightly in the spacious sleeve robe. She remembered that the man named Xuan Sheng was the one who had almost broken the Five Elements Formation of the Enchantment Boundary over Chuanshan in the battle nearly three months ago! At that time, seeing that his face was gentle and handsome, he couldn't bear to hurt him, and finally just pushed him out of the coverage of the enchantment with a light palm.

originally thought that after leaving Chuanshan, she would never have anything to do with the fairy world again, but she never thought that she would see an acquaintance again not long after she entered the mortal world, no wonder she was so panicked. At this moment, her heart trembled fiercely, and a pair of big smart eyes stared at Xuan Sheng without blinking.

Zhu Mei noticed Nian Nian's strange reaction, and called her softly, "Nian Nian, why don't you leave, do you recognize him?"

"Huh?" Nian Nian was startled, and after reacting, he suddenly pulled the hem of Zhu Mei's clothes, and whispered to her, "Let's go quickly!" and pinned his face to the other side.

And Xuan Sheng and Zhi Yue also saw another group of people not far away after a few words, and their eyes turned to shoot over.

The two teams missed it, Xuan Sheng and Zhi Yue just saw two women with a natural temperament and an old man hurriedly walked by the unkind Steward Wang, Xuan Sheng thought that Steward Wang heard Fang Cai Zhiyue's words, and glanced at Zhi Yue with a slight reproach, and then left with Zhi Yue and a group of servants, without saying anything. Nian Nian kept muttering in his heart, don't let them go quickly, don't run into it head-on, if the Taoist priest called Xuansheng recognizes him, then it will be a big trouble.
