Most of the candles in Dead Leaf Xiaozhu were extinguished. When Guan Mowen came back, Bai Chongan was playing chess alone.
"How?" he asked.
Guan Mowen bowed respectfully and replied: "It seems that they didn't notice anything unusual."
Bai Chongan laughed silently: "After all, he is a young man who has never seen the world."
"Yes." Guan Mo smiled when he heard this, "It seems that Fairy Yue is going out for the first time. Although Master Huo has more experience, he has limited experience."
Bai Chongan fiddled with the chess pieces a few times and recalled the expressions on the three of them's faces when they entered the yard.
Huo Chongxiao and Yue Yunqiao obviously didn't recognize the things in the yard, so they only took a few more curious glances, but it was his grandniece...
"How has Er Yatou performed over the years?"
Guan Mowen thought about it and said: "If Xiao Ke remembers correctly, the second young lady is the most outstandingly qualified among the younger generation. Perhaps the second master left early and is extra sensible. If anyone in the family can pass the entrance examination, it must be
Second Miss."
Bai Chongan was quite surprised: "Really? In this case, our family's future future will still depend on her."
Guan Mowen smiled and said: "It's too early to say this. It's not yet known whether the second lady can reach Dong Weng's level. This family still has to rely on Dong Weng!"
Bai Chongan smiled faintly and turned to the old servant: "Qingru, just take the talisman pen from my treasure house and send it over, pick some talisman ink talisman paper, and add some spiritual stones. Without elders to take care of her, she must be short of money.
."
He has always ignored secular affairs, so he is the first in the family to receive such a generous reward.
A strange color flashed across Guan Mowen's face and he said, "Dong Weng has great love."
Bai Chongan smiled and moved his gaze to the yard.
Under the yellow spring tree, the yin-yang umbrella seemed to sense something, and suddenly started to rotate, faster and faster, faster and faster...
On the other side, Bai Mengjin returned to his residence.
There are only three people living in this small courtyard far away from the center line. The mother-in-law sent by the family to take care of her has fallen asleep, snoring loudly. A little girl in her early ten years is sitting on the small stool, bleary-eyed, waiting for her.
Door.
Seeing her coming back, the little girl called out to Miss in a daze and got up to prepare some water for her.
Bai Mengjin waved her hand and told her to rest while she washed herself.
Just after finishing it, the reward from Dead Leaf Xiaozhu was delivered - that great-uncle, as a golden elixir monk, no longer needs sleep, so naturally he would not understand others who have low cultivation levels and have to live like ordinary people.
The old servant laughed and said: "This talisman pen was given by the master of Danxia Palace. The master has always kept it in the treasure house. I hope the second lady will live up to the master's kindness."
Bai Mengjin pretended to be flattered and sent him out with tears of gratitude.
After such an experience, the little girl's sleepiness flew away and she walked around excitedly: "Miss, has the head of the family finally seen you? Will no one dare to neglect you in the future?"
Bai Mengjin didn't answer, he gave her a spiritual stone and sent her to rest.
The little girl was very happy. The spirit stone was worth more than half a year's wages. The lady is so generous.
After closing the door, Bai Mengjin was counting things under the lamp.
The talisman pen is indeed of the highest quality. Even in Danxia Palace, it cannot be obtained by ordinary disciples. The talisman ink paper is of very good quality and is much better than the ones bought in the shop. There are about a hundred spiritual stones, so for this
For her at that time, it was already a huge sum of money.
Bai Mengjin threw the things on the table and smiled with unknown meaning.
Is this considered hush money for her?
She sat in silence for a while, then finally opened the gift box and took out the contents.
The talisman paper is laid out, the talisman ink is adjusted, and then the talisman is drawn slowly, one stroke at a time.
Her current cultivation level is insufficient, but fortunately the power of the spiritual talisman is not limited by her cultivation level, so she can make up for it.
…
Bai Mengjin was woken up early the next morning.
"Senior Sister Yue?" After seeing the person in front of her clearly, she was speechless. This Yue Yunqiao has so much energy. She worked until midnight yesterday and is here so early today.
"Junior sister Bai, why did you sleep for so long? Will it hurt your soul?" Yue Yunqiao asked with concern.
Bai Mengjin rubbed his eyes and said, "No, I had homework last night and slept a little late."
"You are so self-conscious!" Yue Yunqiao admired her. She hated doing homework the most.
They were all awake anyway, so Bai Mengjin got up and took a shower.
I haven't lived like a normal person for many years, and I'm really not used to it.
After cleaning up, she told the little girl: "You go to the school to ask for leave for me, just say that I have to entertain guests."
The little girl agreed and went happily. The young lady had received a reward from the master of the house, and she just went out to show off, lest those indifferent people come to bully them.
Huo Chongxiao was already waiting outside. Watching them coming, he said apologetically: "Miss Bai, are you not disturbing me? My junior sister is impatient and I don't want to ask her to wait any longer."
Bai Mengjin shook his head: "I also have to go to school on weekdays."
"Where should we go?" Yue Yunqiao said with great interest, "Are there any interesting places in Qingyun City?"
Bai Mengjin thought about it carefully: "Should we go to Yuelao Temple? I heard that it is very spiritual and many people go there."
For monks, all gods and ghosts are superficial, but this does not prevent them from respecting the thoughts of mortals. People must have something to rely on in order to live a happier life.
Yuelao Temple is right next to the market, and there are various stalls on a street. There is a marriage tree at the end with lush branches and leaves, and the whole tree is hung with red cloth strips for prayers.
Yue Yunqiao exclaimed: "So many! Is it really useful?"
The aunt selling red cloth strips next to her smiled and promoted: "Girl, our marriage tree in Qingyun City has been around for hundreds of years, and they say it has great powers. You write the name of the person you like on it, and Yuelao will help you tie the marriage string.
"
Yue Yunqiao answered honestly: "But I don't have a crush on anyone!"
"Really?" The aunt looked at Huo Chongxiao and then at Bai Mengjin. She couldn't figure out the relationship between these three people for a while, so she changed the words, "Then you can write other wishes. They are all gods, and they can always take care of something.
Tube."
"Is this okay?"
"Why can't it work?" She said with great enthusiasm when talking about this aunt, "Look at that piece of cloth, it belongs to Zeng Laosan from Huaihua Lane. He is a filial son. When I got sick, all the temples in the city were destroyed.
I begged him over and over again, but everything else was of no use. Even when he went to Yuelao Temple, he was treated like a dead horse. Guess what, within two days, his mother really got better!"
"Yes, yes," the mother-in-law selling herbal tea next to her continued, "and Mrs. Liu from Zhutong Street. The boss lost money and wanted to sell her. She begged for two days at Yuelao Temple, hey, and then won her back.
Got it!"
This kind of strange stories attract the people the most. People around them gathered around and talked about several things in succession.
The talk was lively when someone shouted: "Look, Madam Liu has come to fulfill her wish!"
Bai Mengjin turned around and looked over, and saw that Mrs. Liu had a thin face but was well-dressed. She had an untimely and strange look, which was quite consistent with her sudden wealth experience.
Huo Chongxiao's expression next to him became serious.
Madam Liu looked energetic, but there was a dark aura lingering in Yintang.
