Although the Guanwang Meeting was over, the common people were still unsatisfied, especially after witnessing the astonishing scene with their own eyes. They were not relieved from the excitement in their hearts, and few were willing to go home like this.
Therefore, after the lanterns were evacuated, the red carpet was removed, and even the altar was dismantled, the vast majority of the people were still gathering in the streets.
As for the vendors and various shops, they originally planned to make a lot of money tonight, but they didn't want the King's Fair to end early. The shopkeepers were unwilling to close down or close their stalls.
Therefore, although the Guan Wang Hui ended, the excitement in Yinzhou City still continued.
Jiang Mutou took his wife, daughter, apprentice and grandson for a stroll on the street. Although it was late at night, the street was brightly lit and bustling, and he did not feel sleepy at all.
Jiang's wife looked at the people coming and going around her, and her ears were full of topics about phoenixes and immortals. The fear on her face had not yet faded, and she asked Jiang Mutou uncertainly: "That phoenix... was from our courtyard before.
..’s?”
Jiang Mutou frowned and warned in a low voice: "You can't say this to anyone."
Then he looked at his daughter's disciples and disciples with a sullen face, "You guys too, if you don't want disaster to happen, just don't mention it to anyone and keep it in your stomach."
Onion and Jiang Chenglan both said yes. Onion also told his apprentice to keep his mouth shut. The apprentice nodded and swore not to speak nonsense.
Jiang's wife still couldn't hide her surprise and sighed in a low voice, "I didn't expect that we actually met an immortal. The reason why the phoenix came to life must be the magic of the immortal."
This actually made Jiang Mutou nodded in agreement. He had actually never seen the phoenix in the ancient books. After finishing the carpentry work that day, he only thought it was a wooden bird that was going to be displayed today. It was a bit too big, but he didn't feel reassured.
superior.
But what I saw tonight didn't seem to be the same thing as what he did.
The wood came to life and turned into a beautiful phoenix bird. The scene was so shocking that even though Jiang Mutou knew the truth, he was still not convinced that it was the wooden bird he made.
If this matter spread to the ears of others, he didn't know what kind of trouble it would cause, so he had to keep it in his stomach.
Jiang Chenglan also lamented, "I didn't expect that they were actually from the Immortal Family. No wonder I could see through the true face of Zhang.
No wonder those three children are so young but so capable; they turn out to be children of the Immortal family."
Jiang Chenglan felt unreal when she thought that she had sat in the Xian family's home. They were just an ordinary family, but they had to be blessed by God to have a relationship with the Xian family.
"I'll give you a gift tomorrow. Apart from that, I've taken care of our family's business, so I should go and say congratulations." Jiang Chenglan suggested.
Jiang's wife nodded: "Lan'er is right."
Jiang Mutou hummed, "Then let's go look around and see what I can give you."
The family walked towards the downtown area again. Onion took advantage of Jiang Chenglan's lagging behind and took out the small gold lock he bought in the afternoon, and handed it to Jiang Chenglan Hanhan: "Sister Lan, keep this gold lock, it will keep you safe."
Jiang Chenglan laughed angrily and took the golden lock, "I also asked you when to give it to me."
The onion's face turned red, and she was embarrassed: "I haven't been looking for an opportunity."
Seeing Jiang Chenglan take out the small gold lock and put it on directly, he said again: "I will definitely buy you better ones in the future."
Jiang Chenglan held the small golden lock with a smile on her face, "This is also very good."

Also walking around in the busy market was Qian Laoer, but this time, he was accompanied by Matchmaker Liao.
The two were also discussing the matter of Phoenix and Shange.
Matchmaker Liao talks a lot, and she keeps talking like she's pouring beans, "Brother Qian, tell me, what will Yinzhou be like in the future? Will everyone start cultivating immortals?"
Qian Laoer thought for a while, "I can't say for sure, but in any case, it has nothing to do with you and me. We have already passed that age, and one of the conditions for Shange to accept disciples is that they cannot be over sixteen years old."
Matchmaker Liao imagined, "In the future, maybe everyone will not ride in carriages, but fly with swords. Hahahaha, to be honest, I really can't imagine what that scene will be like." After a pause, he asked again:
"Brother Qian, will you send your children to the mountain pavilion to learn immortal magic in the future?"
Qian Lao Er blushed and coughed, "I don't even have a wife, how can I have a child?"
Matchmaker Liao pursed her lips and smiled: "If I don't have a wife now, I will definitely have one in the future."
Qian Laoer straightened his body unconsciously and strode away.
Matchmaker Liao narrowed her eyes with a smile and caught up again: "Brother Qian, wait a minute. Tell me about Shange. You are the most famous Fang Ya in the inner circle. You must know them."
Mr. Qian shook his head like a rattle, "That's the Immortal Family. How can I recognize it? I don't know it. By the way, do you want to eat roasted meat? There's a house in front of you where the roasted lamb tastes good."
Matchmaker Liao's face was filled with joy and she hurriedly said "Hello" and the two of them headed towards the shop.

When time passed, although most people were still lingering on the streets, some people went back home.
After Xu Ying saw Phoenix, he and Xu Sanniang returned to the small courtyard they had just rented. The courtyard was still not as exquisite and beautiful as before when they entered it, but it was enough for the two of them to live there.
The surrounding area of the courtyard was relatively quiet, and Xu Sanniang was very satisfied with this place.
At that time, in the courtyard, Xu Sanniang was soaking the beans for tomorrow's use in the water, and she could not hide her happiness: "My son is indeed a good person among people. He can also get to know the immortal family. He will definitely be successful in the future."
Xu Ying smiled and helped Xu Sanniang wash the beans together.
Xu Sanniang stopped him and said, "Don't do these menial jobs, just study with peace of mind. If you feel sorry for my mother, then try to get a Jinshi, and in the future, you will be promoted to a higher position, so that your mother will be famous."
Xu Ying pursed her lips for a long time before whispering: "Mom, I plan to go to Mu Country."
Xu Sanniang stopped moving her hands and asked with confusion on her face: "Why are you going to Mu Country?"
Xu Ying took a deep breath and said seriously: "My little brother... is from the Xian family who lives in Taoyaju. They gave me fortune-telling and said that my future lies in the Kingdom of Mu.
Mom, you have also seen that what the family said was definitely not just casual talk.
To be honest, although I have made up my mind to pursue an official career, I still don’t know what to do. Is the current Daxia really worth my efforts? Is there really any hope of salvation? I don’t even know whether the cavalry arrived first or the cavalry came first.
My official fortune comes first."
Xu Sanniang looked at the beans in the water silently. When the beans entered the water, the empty bad beans surfaced. Xu Sanniang filtered out the bad beans with her hands and said: "But the country of Mu is weak and war is commonplace. There,
Is there really hope?" Isn't there danger?
Xu Ying bit his lip for a while before saying firmly: "The country of Mu is weak and struggling to survive in the wind and rain, but it has still stood firm after so many years. Based on this alone, I think it should not be underestimated."
"But you are from Daxia. Can you find a way out if you go to Mu Country?" Xu Sanniang couldn't hide her anxiety and worry.
Xu Ying smiled and said, "I don't know. But I want to give it a try. Since the immortals say that I will definitely be a great minister in the future, and even point out the way for me, then why don't I believe it?"
Mom, I think it is my good fortune to meet Tao Yaju’s family. I should seize this opportunity. No matter what the outcome is, I will not regret it.”
Xu Sanniang was silent for a while, then buried her head in washing the beans in the basin, and said slowly: "If you want to go, then go... I won't cause trouble for you. I am here, waiting for you to come back."
