People in Liaozhai, meet Chang'e at the beginning

Chapter 151 Is this Ning Caichen’s story or a fantasy? ([-]) (Also known as: Is it a mirage or Nie Xiaoqian?)

Although Ye Hua really wanted to warn him, but now he has somehow been turned into a little butterfly, so now he can neither speak nor stop him.

Fortunately, Li Qiaoqiao agreed.

Perhaps, she also saw that Ning Caichen was not the one with ulterior motives.

"Yes, yes, but there is nothing valuable at home."

While Li Qiaoqiao replied helplessly, she led Ning Caichen into the house.

Ye Hua followed Ning Caichen into Li Qiaoqiao's house.

When looking from the outside, the room is very small.

After entering the house, I found that although the room was small, it was very clean and tidy.

A dining table with a few small benches.

It was a small bed. There were neatly stacked old clothes in a corner of the bed, and many traces of sewing could be seen.

In addition, there are several tables, clothes racks and other wooden furniture.

Not even a cabinet, let alone something to hide.

It really is a poor family.
Ning Caichen looked at it while walking.

Ye Hua also followed and watched.

Hey, it seems that these clothes have been mended many times.
This girl Li Qiaoqiao's family is really poor. Her clothes are mended over and over again, and she doesn't even have a new one.
Hey, here's a note!
Ye Hua took a closer look, and saw the note read: The youngest daughter of Uncle Li's family in the west of the city.

"Could it be that you took over the work of mending clothes from someone else's house?"

Ye Hua heard Ning Caichen sizing up and muttering.

No wonder there are so many clothes on the bed that don't suit the girl!

Then, Ye Hua saw a basket not far away, which contained some plants, which seemed to be medicinal herbs.

Hey, is this herb basket left by her father?
No, there are a few herbs that are relatively fresh, it should be picked by Miss Li Qiaoqiao herself recently.

"It seems that Miss Li Qiaoqiao occasionally has to go out to collect herbs, and with this job of mending clothes, I guess this is how she makes a living."

Ye Hua heard Ning Caichen mutter again, and then walked to the other side.

Yo, there are still many books on the table on the other side.

Ye Hua followed Ning Caichen and took a look. It turned out to be a very old book related to medicine.

The corners are all rolled up, and the color is still yellow, and on this page, you can still see a lot of annotations, it seems that these books are often read.

Hey, the handwriting is so illegible that I can't read it at all.
The handwriting here is very clear and looks very elegant. I guess it was written by this girl Li Qiaoqiao.
"It seems that this is a hardworking girl."

Ning Caichen sighed again, and then opened the record book with the word "account book" written in the corner.

"The account book. It should record the money in and out of the family. You can open it and have a look."

Ning Caichen muttered again, and opened the ledger.

I saw the top line, written in large fonts: Debit list, for the purpose of purchasing rare medicinal materials, please remember to return them on time.

And below, it is written according to time and characters, as well as notes:

On the sixth day of October, Li Decai, 180 Wen, was returned on the [-]th.

On the eighth day of October, Widow Zhang, three hundred coins, was returned on the [-]th.

On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, gold is valuable, one hundred coins, interest is ten coins, and it is returned on the [-]th.

On the ninth day of March, Li Hai, [-] wen, half a year, with [-] wen remaining.

On March [-]th, Boss Zhang paid two liang of silver and one hundred wen in interest, half a year, but did not return it.

Hey, I actually borrowed money from Jin Gui before, and even charged such a high interest rate
However, they have all been returned.

Hey, it looks like there really isn’t anything valuable in this house.
Ning Caichen, let's forget it. Why don't you go back and plead for her, and give her a period of grace?
I don't know if Ning Caichen heard Ye Hua's voice of turning into a butterfly, or Ning Caichen was also hesitating in his heart.

I saw that Ning Caichen shook his head, and Ye Hua heard him whisper:
"No, boss, the debt must be paid."

Ye Hua didn't know whether to be speechless or helpless, anyway, he was a little angry.

This girl Li Qiaoqiao is so miserable, Ning Caichen, you are a little unreasonable.
Unexpectedly, Li Qiaoqiao heard Ning Caichen's words.

She wanted to cry without tears, lowered her head, with some dark light in her eyes, and said helplessly:
"It seems that the little girl has no choice but to sell herself to pay off the debt."

Ye Hua looked at Ning Caichen speechlessly, then at Li Qiaoqiao, and then saw the pile of clothes on the bed. He didn't know if his voice could really be heard by Ning Caichen, so he endured it. I kept muttering in my heart:

The girl is a good seamstress, you might as well help her with some more work to pay off the debt.

Unexpectedly, Ning Caichen thought patiently for a while, and then said to Li Qiaoqiao:

"The clothes you mended are simple, but the stitching is solid."

Li Qiaoqiao was stunned, then immediately raised his head to look at Ning Caichen, and asked in surprise:

"Could it be that the young master wants to recruit me to be a maid in the mansion?"

By the way, does Ning Caichen have money to find a maid?
Ning Caichen shook his head and replied:

"No, you can work in a tailor's shop, so that you can supplement your family income and learn some new techniques. Recently, spider silk clothes are popular in Lin'an City. If you can embroider some novel patterns with spider silk, there must be many people. High-ranking officials are asking for high prices! Others rely on spider silk, but I see that the girl's skillful hands can outperform spider silk."

Li Qiaoqiao was stunned immediately and remained silent for a long time.

This is a good idea, and clothes made of spider silk are indeed popular in Lin'an City!

Ning Caichen pondered for a moment, then asked again:
"Looking at your comments on medical skills and the herbs you picked, you should also know the pharmacology?"

Li Qiaoqiao nodded and replied:

"Yes"

Ning Caichen added:

"I have an acquaintance who runs a pharmacy in Lin'an City. You can also go to help, at least to ensure food and clothing. As for this debt, I can pay it back to the boss for you. After half a year, I will pay the same interest. Come find you again."

Hey, this Ning Caichen is not bad, after all, he didn't really let this Li Qiaoqiao have nowhere to go.

Seeing Li Qiaoqiao looking at him with complicated expressions, Ning Caichen explained again:
"Girl, I have been in despair before, and I can understand how you feel now. But in this world, women's roads are much more difficult than men's. You have skillful hands and more ingenious ideas. Don't let me down!"

Li Qiaoqiao nodded hurriedly and said gratefully:
"My benefactor's great kindness will be unforgettable to this little girl!"

Ning Caichen warned again:

"When you are in despair, you must be calm and use your own hands to save yourself!"

After finishing speaking, he smiled self-deprecatingly and said:
"Well, I said a few more words, and the girl laughed."

Not much to say, although this is chicken soup, it does teach people to make ends meet!

Moreover, this Li Qiaoqiao is indeed capable, but she just has no chance!

As the saying goes, thousand-mile horses often exist, but bole does not always exist!

Even the old saying is good, the smell of wine is also afraid of the deep alley!

When Li Qiaoqiao heard Ning Caichen's words, she had tears in her eyes and said gratefully:
"Thank you so much. My father often said at that time that when a person walks between heaven and earth, he should be worthy of heaven and earth, and even more so, he should be worthy of his heart. Although he is impoverished, he never does anything that goes against his conscience."

It seems that Li Qiaoqiao's father is also a man!
Ning Caichen nodded in agreement, then took out a page from his bookcase shelf, wrote on the table for a while, then put it in a letterhead, handed it to Li Qiaoqiao, and said:

"If you want to go to the pharmacy, you give this to the boss, and he will recognize it."

"Thank you so much! May I ask your benefactor's name?" Li Qiaoqiao replied gratefully and took the letter.

"Under Ning Caichen!"

Ning Caichen nodded, and said:
"I say goodbye first!"

Li Qiaoqiao also nodded and said gratefully:
"Eun Gong, take care, the journey is far away, and I look forward to reuniting with En Gong in half a year."

Ning Caichen nodded again and left.

When Ye Hua saw that Li Qiaoqiao had been standing at the door watching Ning Caichen go away, he felt incredible in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Ning Caichen would help her pay off her debt.
Who would have thought that Ning Caichen seemed to be able to hear Ye Hua's heart, and he muttered as he walked:

"That's not the case. I just lent my money to Miss Li Qiaoqiao. The account books of this girl's family have clear entries. From this point of view, her father should not be a perfidy. In this desperate situation, I pointed her to a way, and she If you have hope, you will not go astray.”

In addition, this Ning Caichen actually went all out to help her make a living
Unexpectedly, Ning Caichen muttered again:

"That friend in Lin'an City just happened to be short of a helper, and I was just connecting with them."

Ha, this Ning Caichen is really a good person!
"Meow, meow!"

Hey, why is there a cat meowing here?
However, there is no trace of wild cats around here.
"Meow, meow!"

Ok?
No, the voice of this little cat feels so familiar.
"Meow, meow!"

Hey, is this the cry of Pu Songling's black cat? !

Is that black cat here too?

wrong!It should be accompanying Pu Songling in Lanruo Temple!
So, I am actually in Lanruo Temple now? !
All this in front of you.
Just as Ye Hua was thinking, he saw Ning Caichen smiling at the little butterfly he had turned into, and then a thick fog appeared in front of him again.

Immediately afterwards, he found that everything in front of him had changed again.

The dense fog dissipated, and Ye Hua returned to the Palace of Heavenly Kings again!

"What's the matter with Ye Ye? You can't wake her up?"

"Ninny, Yeye is not here, I will definitely protect everyone! I am the strongest Qingying in the world!"

"Yeah, yeah, there's me, little sister, and sister Yichu!"

Hey, what are these three women talking about?
Ye Hua slowly opened his eyes, with a cute expression on his face.

"Ah, Ye Ye woke up! Ye Ye finally woke up!"

Hearing her daughter's excited cry, Ye Hua became even cuter.

Qingying saw Ye Hua's confused look and explained:
"I just woke up and saw Ye Ye standing here with your mouth open and motionless. It was so scary! I woke them all up!"

Ye Hua smiled awkwardly and said:
"Hey, it seems that I was woken up by Mr. Pu's kitten! If I didn't hear the cat meowing, I would still be dreaming!"

"No, brother Ye, you are not dreaming, but a monster appeared!"

Holding a handful of extremely red talisman paper, Zhuge Liuyun proudly said:
"Brother Ye, when the monster appeared just now, I picked up this extremely red talisman and stuck it on the monster's face, immediately breaking its illusion and severely injuring the monster!"

Nannan looked at the talisman in Zhuge Liuyun's hand with disdain and said:

"Nonsense, it's all thanks to Xiao Hei from Lao Pu's family! What about the talisman? If Xiao Hei hadn't found that incense, you would still be staring at it!"

"Meow, meow!" Xiao Hei yelled triumphantly in Pu Songling's arms.

Qingying asked again with concern:

"Ye Ye, are you okay?"

Ye Hua shook his head and replied:
"I'm fine, just a little cloudy and unreal"

The girl suddenly asked in surprise:
"Ah? Where is the cloud?"

Zhuge Liuyun smiled and said:

"Ha, when I saw you, Brother Ye, standing there blankly, I thought, Brother Ye, the monster from before must have come again. It must have created another illusion and trapped you!"

Yaya said in surprise:
"It turns out that Ye Ye just fell into the illusion of the mirage again. I don't know what adventure Ye Ye has in the illusion this time."

Yichu looked at Ye Hua and said:

"I heard Qingying's cry, so I rushed here in a hurry. Just now, I felt that the illusion was extremely dangerous, and when I was about to draw out my spear, all of a sudden, the murderous aura disappeared. "

Su Xiaoxiao nodded and said:

"Ye Lang, that's true. When I was about to draw out the big sword, the mirage actually dispersed the thick fog."

Ye Hua looked around at the people around him and said doubtfully:

"You wanted to kill me, but you didn't do it? This mirage is really weird!"

Seeing the movement in the distance, Zhuge Liuyun hurriedly warned:
"Be careful, the mirage has broken off the talisman paper!"

Ye Hua quickly looked into the distance, and the mirage turned out to be a bead wrapped in a thick fog.

However, Ye Hua discovered that he seemed to see a woman walking towards him.

And that woman is the Nie Xiaoqian who recited a poem that she saw in the fantasy before.

"Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, and every inch of blue silk is worried about the new year. Looking at each other in the shape of the moon, I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals."

Not knowing whether to call her Nie Xiaoqian, or another mirage, she read the entire poem, laughed, and said:
"Sure enough, the young master has some skills. He can not only complete this incomplete sentence, but also crack my illusion. It seems that the young master is the person I am looking for!"

Nannan exclaimed in surprise:
"Huh? This mirage can still talk?"

Qingying glanced at Ye Hua, and said a little speechlessly:
"And the mirage's voice is actually a woman's, it's inexplicably nice."

Yaya smiled and agreed:
"According to the meaning of the mirage, she seems to be waiting for the master Ye Ye."

"Ye Lang." Su Xiaoxiao looked at the mirage, then at Ye Hua, softly called Ye Hua's name, and then fell silent.

Yichu glanced at Ye Hua and then said:

"I remember my little sister said before that there are traces of female ghosts in Lanruo Land, could it be that this mirage did it?"
