It was quiet last night, and I slept until dawn.

When Song You woke up, the cat was no longer on the bed. The house was empty and the courtyard was clean, but there were faint voices coming from outside.

Listening carefully, one voice was clear and sweet, filled with ignorance and innocence, while another voice was young and elegant, but very respectful.

"Then when you go back to pack your things today, remember to bring the rat meat that Sanhua Empress gave you, as well as your own. People in this house don't seem to eat rat meat."

"It's natural. But Empress Sanhua misunderstood. Yuzhou eats snakes and rats, so naturally Xu Mansion also eats rat meat."

"Huh? Then why don't they give us rats to eat?"

"Sanhua Empress did not know something. Although the people of Yuzhou like to eat snakes and rats, there is little rat meat and snakes are difficult to catch. Generally speaking, rat meat is not considered the best meat, and the people have no choice but to eat rat meat. Now in Sanhua

Hua Niangniang and Song Xianshi are distinguished guests of the Xu Mansion. Even if the Xu Mansion eats rat meat on weekdays, how can they dare to entertain the two of them with rat meat at this time? What's more, the two of them have come from afar and are outsiders. The Xu Mansion knows that something has happened.

People in many places in Yuzhou don’t eat rat meat, so they don’t even dare to serve it out to entertain you two.”

I talked a lot, it was clear and logical.

Empress Sanhua only heard one sentence and replied:

"Rat meat is the best meat!"

"Huh? Sanhua Empress likes rat meat?"

"Sanhua Empress will eat every meal!"

"That being the case, please relax, Sanhua Empress. Rat meat will definitely appear on Sanhua Empress's dinner table tomorrow. Let Sanhua Empress know how we make rat meat in Yuzhou."

"Then thank you very much!"

"By the way, Master Song also likes it..."

"do not mind him!"

"Okay, okay..."

In the room, Song You slowly got up and rubbed his hair.

The sounds outside the house continued to come.

"When will you go back to get it?"

"The master of the house was kind enough to let the coachman take me off. I should have set off in the morning so that I could walk back and forth before dark. If I were to take a car, I could just leave in the afternoon." The scholar's voice paused for a moment. "Anyway, there is almost no room at home.

I was so destitute, except for a few changes of clothes, rat meat hanging on the beam, and a few books, there was nothing else to take care of."

"Leaving in the afternoon?"

"yes……"

"Ms. Sanhua, there is also a piece of dried rat meat here. I'll give it to you. You can take it back and eat it for lunch. Eat until you're full."

"This...how is this so embarrassing?"

"Sanhua Empress is most in need of mice!"

"Thank you very much, Miss Sanhua." The scholar surnamed Xu paused again, "This piece of meat looks good."

"Yes!"

Song You was dressing and washing in a hurry in the room. The sound coming from outside was like the chirping of birds in the morning, continuous, but also calming.

"Why does Sanhua Empress have a special liking for rat meat?"

"Empress Sanhua herself has to eat mice."

"I wonder what the name Sanhua Empress is..."

"The name is..."

"Oh, that's why Sanhua Empress is called Sanhua Empress?"

"Because Sanhua Empress comes in three colors and is the most beautiful. It turns out that a group of people think Sanhua Empress is very powerful, so they call her Sanhua Empress Sanhua Empress."

"I see."

"That's it~"

"In addition to rat meat, Yuzhou's snake meat is also outstanding, especially the dragon and phoenix stew. I wonder if Empress Sanhua likes it?"

"Sanhua Empress also eats it often!"

"Then Master Song..."

"He loves chickens!"

"That……"

Just hear a squeaking sound.

Song You opened the door.

Outside the house is a corridor. At this time, two figures, one large and one small, are standing in the corridor, separating the left and right sides of a pillar. The tall and thin man seems a bit restrained and very respectful, but the girl who looks like she has not grown up yet

His attitude was natural, he supported the pillar with one hand, stood with one foot, kicked the air back and forth with the other, and looked up at him.

Swallows rest on the branches in the courtyard.

The two of them turned to look at the door at the same time.

"Is the Immortal Master awake?"

The scholar surnamed Xu does not seem to be a sociable person, nor is he good at communicating with children, nor is he good at talking to a child who is not only capable of magical powers, but also thinks and speaks differently from normal people. When he saw Song You coming out, he immediately relaxed.

He walked towards Song You and asked, "How did Master Xian sleep well last night?"

"No one made any noise last night, so I slept well." Song You smiled slightly, "Mr., it sounds more pleasant to my ears."

"Xu called me a random name."

"The first step is more natural."

"Yes Yes Yes……"

The scholar surnamed Xu was still restrained and bent down: "The master of the house asked me to ask Xian...sir, what kind of paper is better for the yellow paper for drawing the talismans? Is it hemp paper or rattan paper? Or paper, bamboo paper and glutinous rice paper?"

?”

"Just use whatever you want, any blank piece of paper will do. Whatever is convenient to buy in Fuyao County and whatever is of good quality can be used."

"Xu will report back to the master of the house right now." The scholar surnamed Xu said, "The house has prepared breakfast for you. I wonder if your husband will go out for a walk in the city after breakfast to buy something or if there is anything else.

If you have anything else to explain, just give me the instructions."

"I really want to go out for a walk and see how many monsters and monsters there are in Fuyao City." Song You said to him, "But I don't want to buy anything, and I don't need anyone to guide me. I just want to walk around casually."

"Then Xu will report to the head of the family first."

"Walk slowly."

"Farewell."

The scholar respectfully left.

Sanhua Empress still stood where she was, still holding the pillar with one hand, and turned around to stare at the Taoist. Her eyes were black and white, and her face was fair and delicate, with no expression on her face.

No one knows what she is thinking.

"gone."

Song You rubbed her head.

The girl immediately let go of the pillar and followed him.

The breakfast at Xu Mansion is simple yet exquisite. It consists of a bowl of fermented glutinous rice dumplings, poached eggs, and several plates of fruit snacks. After eating, it feels very comfortable.

Song You thanked the old man for his kindness in sending a housekeeper to help guide the way and giving him money. He called his cat and Yanzi, and then walked out of the gate of Xu Mansion. He looked around, then chose a direction and walked away.

The Xu Mansion occupies the best location in the city, which is better than the county government office. There are several streets and alleys where you can find the residences of the powerful and wealthy people in the city. They have deep houses and courtyards, rich families, and are naturally clean. But as you walk,

There were also some noises, shouts, and strange clear calls.

"It sounds like a fox barking!"

Sanhua Empress turned back and said to her Taoist priest.

"It's a fox..."

The swallow in the sky flapped its wings, lowered its head and said: "There have been many foxes in Fuyao County recently, and there are quite a few in the city. There are also many people who hunt foxes and eat their meat in exchange for money. There was a fox just now, and it may have gotten into the yard of a house through a dog hole.

Go, you've been discovered, and the owner is driving them away."

"Well……"

Sanhua Empress raised her head and stared at him, then quickly lowered her head and looked forward without answering.

At the end of the alley ahead, in the middle of the road, stood a gray-brown fox, turning its head to stare at them.

Sanhua Empress instinctively slowed down her pace and stared at it closely. It was not until her Taoist priest came behind her that she came to her senses. She was now a little person, not a cat, let alone an adult.

Following him, he put away his appearance and walked towards the fox normally.

At this time, the fox stepped into the other side of the alley.
