Capture the Jade

He Mingsheng was dumbfounded, Lin Chengyou sat back after saying that, but he didn't plan to leave.

Soon, there were two beauties surrounded by maids. The one on the left was named Wei Zi, with two groups of white gleams on her chest, swaying and swaying as she walked.

Another petite and exquisite beauty is Yao Huang, who has the arrogance of a noble family daughter.

What He Mingsheng said was true, both of them were a little embarrassed. Wei Zi's lips were dripping with red lips, but they couldn't hide their haggard expressions.

Yao Huang's face was also reduced, but fortunately, she was in good spirits. She seemed to have used a strange fragrance in her skirt, and the fragrance was overwhelming when she was walking.

Teng Yuyi had long been impressed by Yao Huang's singing voice, but at this moment, listening to her speak, she felt as moist as crisp rain.

After thinking about it, Juesheng and Qizhi were both dumbfounded. She knew that the excitement couldn't be seen any longer, so she hurriedly led the two back to the backyard. When they got to the room, she smiled and poured tea for the two of them. Feeling ashamed, I embarrassed my junior brother like this.

"Where did you go just now?" She kindly changed the subject.

"Actually, it didn't go very far." Jue Sheng took the tea cup with both hands, "Senior brother and Yan Sizhi first went to the fruit shop opposite to ask if anyone had bought preserved cherries, then went to the nearby jewelry shop to inquire about things, and finally went to the consignment shop ( Note) After walking around, it was getting late after coming out, so my brother and Yan Sizhi went to a nearby restaurant for dinner."

Fruit shop? Jewelry shop? Teng Yuyi took a sip of tea, this was a good guess, it was nothing more than what he found in the Qingzhi room.

What's going on with the mailing shop? Did Qingzhi ever go to work as a thing?

Qizhi took out a few bags from his arms: "Miss Teng, try this."

Teng Yu's opinion was a package of gluttonous food, thinking that Lin Chengyou bought it for her junior brother, she refused to accept it, only smiled: "You can keep it for yourselves, I don't really like to eat food."

Abandoned wisdom was indistinguishable and put it into Teng Yuyi's hands: "This is not the same, Mrs. Teng will know after eating it."

Jue Sheng nodded desperately: "Chizhi first and I ate this kind of gluttonous food, thinking that you also like to eat it, so we got a few more copies, Uncle Cheng, Brother Huo, this is for you."

Cheng Bo and Huo Qiu laughed in surprise: "We have them too?"

Teng Yuyi held the package and pondered, although the money was given by Lin Chengyou, but the heart belonged to two little Taoist priests, and he brought them back to them, not eating it was too inhumane, so he smiled happily: "Since it is one of the little Taoist priests. If you want, let’s eat it, our master and servant don’t have to arrange lunch anymore, this is enough.”

As soon as she took a bite, she was stunned: "Hey, what kind of stuffing is this?"

Juesheng and Qizhi's eyes lit up: "I didn't eat it, right? We didn't eat it either. According to the boss of Husi, there are twenty or thirty kinds of fillings here, except for mushrooms, tofu and buttermilk. There are also a lot of unheard of ingredients."

Cheng Bo walked around the streets, alleys and alleys in his daily life, and he was well-informed. Hearing this, he was a little puzzled: "Little Daoist, there are so many good things in one glutinous rice cake, I'm afraid it won't sell at a good price, it's a discount. Ben, it's too expensive and no one buys it."

Jue Sheng said to Cheng Bo: "Cheng Bo, you don't know, the boss of this Hu Si is an old acquaintance with his senior brother. He only cooks when his senior brother comes. He doesn't sell it on weekdays, and he won't sell it no matter how much money is paid."

Teng Yuyi originally planned to take two bites at random, but he couldn't put it down after eating. The crispness of the mushroom and the sticky sweetness of the buttermilk blended between the lips and teeth, making it difficult to part with one meal. After one meal, he started thinking about the next meal.

She wiped her hands with a towel and smiled, "Where is this store? I'll buy a few copies for my cousin and aunt to try someday."

"It's not far ahead, the boss is called He Mo, but Mrs. Teng should not go there. He Mo won't sell it, no matter how much money you give it."

"Why is this?"

Juesheng waved his hand: "This person has a weird temper. After he has done a good job, he went out to say hello to his senior brother and disappeared. If it was someone else, he probably wouldn't even show his face. Yan Sizhi talked to He Mo, and He Mo even managed. don't care."

Teng Yuyi stopped talking. This boss Hu Si was hiding in the market. He must have a arrogant temper. He was indifferent to money, and he didn't care about power when he wanted to. It seems that there are quite a few friends around Lin Chengyou who are educated and educated.

"Yan Sizhi and your senior brother went to so many places, do you suspect that Qingzhi did not commit suicide?"

Qizhi scratched his head: "We don't know this either. Yan Sizhi and senior brother didn't say anything."

Teng Yuyi said, "If Qingzhi was murdered, wouldn't the murderer be in the building as if nothing had happened? Look up and see, maybe he will eat at the same table as me."

Juesheng and Qizhi whispered, "Miss Teng, do you think Qingzhi was murdered?"

"Don't dare to speculate. Last night, your senior brothers and the Taoist priests lived in the small Buddha hall, not far from the well. If Qingzhi was murdered in front of the well, he would definitely struggle and cry for help. I didn't hear it. If you were killed next to him and then moved to the well, you would most likely be bumped into by someone on such a long way. The situation is special these few days, and the corpse evil may break in at any time to make trouble. No matter how daring the murderer is, he will not choose this. It's time to start, so I guess Qingzhi committed suicide."

"But if he commits suicide, how can senior brother invite colleagues from Dali Temple to investigate the case?"

So Qingzhi's death must be suspicious. Teng Yuyi changed the topic: "There is nothing to do right now, why don't you call Baozhu and Juanerli to sing."

Baozhu and Juanerli came soon, but their faces were very bad.

Teng Yuyi poured tea for them and said warmly, "I remember last time you said that Qingzhi has been having nightmares these days. Are you familiar with Qingzhi?"

Holding the tea cup, Baozhu shook his head: "Nu's family and Qingzhi are not ripe, but Juanerli and Qingzhi are half fellow villagers. Qingzhi suddenly disappeared, and Juanerli was restless all morning."

Only then did Teng Yuyi notice that Juan Erli's expression was blank.

Baozhu gently pushed Juanerli: "Young master asked you something."

Juan'erli regained his senses and said sadly: "If you go back to the son, the Nu family and Qingzhi are not hometowns, but they were sold to the same person, Yazi. At that time, Qingzhi always said that there were still relatives and sisters in the family, but unfortunately they got separated. The Nu family got along with her for a few months, and they became familiar with her. Later, the Nu family was bought by Aunt Calyx, and Qingzhi was bought by Aunt Wo, and they never saw each other again. However, it was not until the opening of Caifeng Tower that the slave family saw Qingzhi again. Qingzhi told me that Aunt Wo thought she was not good-looking, but she never taught her the art of singing when she bought her."

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were stunned for a moment, what does this mean, does this Qingzhi want to be a Le Ling?

Baozhu blushed and said: "Young Master Wang doesn't know anything, the woman who was sold to Goulan is destined to have a tragic fate in her life. Even if Qingzhi does not serve men, she will not be able to marry a good family, she is not willing to live in Goulan for the rest of her life. Doing rough work, so, so—"

Teng Yuyi understood, maybe in Qingzhi's eyes, being a famous prostitute is much more beautiful than being a rough servant girl.

"The slave family asked Qingzhi if he had found his biological sisters over the years. Qingzhi said that he had not found them, but she said that Mrs. Wo was also good to her. If she worked diligently, she could save a few dollars a month. Then Mrs. Gejin came. , the master asked Qingzhi to serve Lady Gejin."

"According to this, Qingzhi doesn't seem to have the temperament to commit suicide." Teng Yuyi remembered Ge Jin's dejected appearance in the morning, and couldn't help asking, "Is Ge Jin treating Qingzhi okay?"

"Okay." Juan Erli nodded, "Ms. Gejin is knowledgeable about books and etiquette, and her temperament is also very forthright. Those princes and grandsons often send some exotic fruits to please her, and she will generously share them with the people around them, and bring them outside. Bring some deer and fish vinegar, and never eat alone. She came here not long ago, and everyone upstairs and downstairs liked her. Qingzhi often said that she was very lucky to be able to serve such a lady."

Baozhu suddenly said: "No, it's not all like that."

"Oh, is there a gap between her master and servant?"

"It was fine in the past, but Qingzhi said that Lady Gejin looks like a different person after her disfigurement. She often gets angry with her for no reason, and sometimes beats and scolds her. Qingzhi cares for Gejin day and night, but she can only exchange for her. Rebuked, she often complained to people behind her back for this, and once asked Aunt Wo to give her a different master to serve her. Aunt Wo scolded Qingzhi severely, saying that she was ungrateful and flattered in every possible way when the master was beautiful, but the master fell. Difficult, the first thing I thought about was climbing Gaozhi. If you keep this kind of thing for anything, you should be killed immediately. Qingzhi was so frightened that she kowtowed and apologized, and she never dared to say this again."

Teng Yu thought for a while: "According to this, Qingzhi didn't have a nightmare when Mrs. Ge Jin had an accident, and it's only these few days that she started to sleep restlessly?"

Baozhu nodded and said, "Qingzhi is a helpless person. Madam Gejin was injured by a specter, and everyone in the building was in danger. Qingzhi looked fine, but was only worried about Madame Gejin and her own future, saying that if Gejin The lady's appearance can't be restored, those rare and fragrant dishes that can be eaten in the past will not be able to be eaten again in the future."

Teng Yuyi was amazed, this is more than a powerless effort. The roommate didn't ask her why?"

"This... the slave family doesn't know."

Teng Yuyi snorted, the prostitutes in the building were of distinct rank, and Caly Ji had spent so much money and hard work in the hope that Juanerli and Baozhu would be courtiers in the future, Qingzhi was a rough maid, and Caly Ji would not agree with her daughter to live with her. From very secret.

Teng Yuyi supported her with her hands: "Well, I'm tired after talking so much. It's too chaotic outside. You can rest in my room for a while before leaving."

Baozhu and Juanerli were a little uneasy: "Young Master, don't we need to play music?"

"Hu Qu will be exempted, let's play the "Lotus Picking Song"."

The two responded in unison, with Juan Erli playing first, followed by Baozhu plucking the silk strings.

Just after playing a small half stack, Baozhu suddenly froze.

"Holding beads?"

Baozhu's face turned pale for a moment, but he quickly calmed down. Looking at the plate of preserved cherries on the case, he said: "The slave family remembered, then when I went back to the master's house, the slave family asked the slave family to deliver medicine to Mrs. Gejin, but the knock on the door didn't work, so the slave family had to look for it. Qingzhi, she saw Qingzhi eating as soon as she entered the door. She saw me coming in, and she was busy stuffing the bag under the pillow, but accidentally spilled it on the ground. Seeing that it was a bag of preserved cherries, the slaves didn't care. Now When I think about it, the package is very heavy, and the tinkling is like something like a hairpin is hidden. Qingzhi was busy stuffing the stuff back, and said, 'I met an old acquaintance, this package of preserved cherries was given to me by that person. Yes, I want to keep it as a thought, and I won't share it with my sister'."

"Old acquaintance? Did she say it was a man or a woman?"

"I didn't say it. Qingzhi was very flustered and pushed me out in a hurry."

"You suspect that Qingzhi buried something else under the preserved cherry?"

Baozhu nodded: "Even if someone bumps into her like this, it's just as if she was stealing something to eat. If she didn't fall to the ground, the slave family wouldn't be able to hear anything."

"How much did you hide?"

"It is estimated that only the top layer is filled with preserved cherries, and the bottom is full of pearls and other objects."

Teng Yuyi frowned secretly, no wonder Lin Chengyou went to the fruit shop and jewelry shop to inquire. This is interesting, where did a rough maid get so much jewelry, and did they steal it or someone else gave it? Ge Jin often divides fruit and delicacy, so is it possible that he will also share hairpin treasures for maids?

At this time, someone outside suddenly said: "Wang Gongzi, Wang Gongzi?"

Cheng Bo went over to open the door, and He Mingsheng came in with a smiling face: "Master Wang, He has something to discuss with you."

Teng Yuyi was slightly surprised: "What's the matter?"

He Mingsheng smiled brightly: "The prince wants to ask Baozhu and Juanerli to serve him."

Teng Yuyi was stunned: "If I remember correctly, Lin Chengyou called ten ladies in one go, why, is it not enough?"

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi coughed dryly, wishing they could get into the cracks in the ground.

He Mingsheng sighed: "Young Master Wang doesn't know something, this young man, this young man, is unavoidable for the first time. The prince said that he wanted to choose the one that suits his heart in every way, and he was afraid of getting distracted, so he had to go one by one in a secluded place. Looking at the ground. I heard that there are still several beautiful prostitutes in the building, so I asked He to come and invite him in person. "

Teng Yuyi said: "It doesn't matter if he calls all the people in the building, but I have already agreed with Aunt Caly that Juanerli and Baozhu are my people now, and I don't agree with them to serve others, so I ask Lin Chengyou to find someone else. Someone else."

He Mingsheng raised his head and wiped his sweat: "Young Master Wang, it's all the fault of He Mou's stupidity. He Mou will apologize to you first. The prince is waiting for the dignitaries, saying that he will not send people over within half an hour. , I'm going to trouble me. These days, He Mou is already in a lot of trouble, and he can't stand the toss anymore. Wang Gongzi, as long as you are willing to let him go, no matter how much you make He Mou make amends, what He Mou accepts without authorization, He Mou How about returning it all to the prince?"

Teng Yuyi glanced at Zhuan'erli and Baozhu, and the two kept their heads down and didn't say a word, thinking that they didn't want to be called to serve the man, just because the master came to ask for someone in person, so he didn't dare to say anything.

Teng Yuyi is not the heart of a bodhisattva, but she promised to keep the two of them safe. It has only been a few days, so how can it be destroyed by Lin Chengyou.

She smiled and said: "It's so pitiful to say, Boss He is rich and aristocratic, and naturally he won't put the two jewels in his eyes. If you dare to return my jewels today, tomorrow I will let people spread the matter and let people know about it. Knowing that the owner of Caifeng Building is back on his word, let's see who will dare to do business with you in the future."

He Mingsheng said sadly: "Oh, this is really a fight between gods and little devils. The prince can't make sense, and the prince doesn't give in. He is caught in the middle, and he really wants to die. It's better than this, the prince is still there. The other side is waiting for a reply, please ask the prince to follow He Mou one more step and explain to the prince by himself."

Teng Yuyi pondered for a while, Lin Chengyou wanted to be courteous to her, and he should have come over to clarify, but now is not the time to play with emotions, in case Lin Chengyou decides to go against her, she can't protect Baozhu and Juanerli .

Juesheng and Qizhi kept silent, and it was estimated that she was not feeling well. She had an idea and whispered: "There is something to discuss with you."

After telling the two of them like this, she raised her head and said to He Mingsheng, "Let's lead the way."

That place is in the back garden, not far from the small Buddha hall. It was originally a small flower hall, but it was temporarily converted into a wing room. The branches and leaves in front of the stairs are in front of each other, which is a very quiet place. When Teng Yuyi passed by, Lin Chengyou had just come over from another corridor, and followed a few people at the same pace, including Qi Ji.

"Sir."

Lin Chengyou stopped: "Did you find them all?"

He Mingsheng smiled and said, "Others are easy to say, but Juanerli and Baozhu are a little troublesome."

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi glanced at the wing room, the Xuan window was half-closed, and the room was vaguely visible with beautiful silhouettes. Their faces flushed red, and they ran to Lin Chengyou to pull on his sleeve and said, "Senior brother, you can't do this."

Lin Chengyou calmly said, "What happened to me?"

"Senior brother has already called ten ladies, why call them Juanerli and Baozhu again, they are good people, senior brother, you, you can't..."

The last two words sounded like gnats, Lin Chengyou touched his ears and realized that it was "waste".

He didn't get angry but smiled: "I spoil them?"

Jue Sheng gathered up his courage and said, "Senior brother, dare to ask you, can you name them when you leave this room today?

"Why should I be able to call them by their names?"

Gee. The faces of Jue Sheng and Qizhi became increasingly ugly, and they kept mumbling: "Senior brother, this is not good. They were sold to such a place, and their backgrounds are very pitiful. Senior brother, you, you can't make it worse."

"Yes, yes, if you start in disorder and then abandon it, it will go against the teacher's teaching."

This was taught to them by Teng Yuyi, and it took them a long time to pop out these words.

Lin Chengyou was criticized at the head and face, and he wondered where they learned this trick, making it worse? Always give up? He suddenly caught a glimpse of Teng Yuyi and sneered, "I said what happened, it turned out to be a good thing done by the prince."

Teng Yuyi took a step back secretly, but Lin Chengyou was already walking towards her, slowly approaching, he looked down at her: "Did you teach them this?"

Juesheng and Qizhi hurriedly said: "No, we heard it ourselves when Boss He came to talk to Prince Wang, and we have to say this ourselves."

Teng Yuyi smiled and said, "I did ask two little Taoist priests to intercede. The two people that the prince saw, unfortunately, they fell in love in the next few days, and made a lot of money for Aunt Caly, so that they could not serve others for half a year, said: The prince is completely unaware of this matter, so Rong Zaixa will first apologize to the prince, Juanerli and Baozhu can’t really serve the prince.”

Lin Chengyou nodded: "You are unwilling to give up your love, so you urge these two silly boys to say that I bully men and women?"

"The prince misunderstood, the two elders look at their senior brothers as an example, and they are always proud to imitate them. Today, the story of the prince's **** with prostitutes has been widely reported in the building. Explain one or two, there is absolutely no slander, let alone say that the prince bullies men and women."

The smile on Lin Chengyou's face did not diminish, but the fire in his heart continued to subside for one night. When she came to provoke him again, he could imagine how she "explained it on your behalf", and there was absolutely nothing good to say. Chi looked at him that way. I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup she poured into the two silly boys, but Juesheng and Jizhi just ate her.

Teng Yuyi said warmly: "The prince is not an absurd and invisible person. Now that the ins and outs have been made clear, I also ask His Royal Highness to raise your hand and serve another beauty."

Lin Chengyou sneered: "What if I want to be absurd and invisible today?"

Teng Yuyi sighed: "Juan'erli and Baozhu have never served anyone so far, they are all stupid, and they go in to serve them in a daze. It's hard to guarantee that they won't spoil the happiness of the prince. There are already more than ten beauties in the horizontal and vertical rooms, why should we let Juanerli? And Baozhu to block you?"

Lin Chengyou looked up at the sky and thought about it seriously: "It sounds very reasonable, but unfortunately I said that if there are so many people, then none of them can be missing. I also understand what Wang Gongzi said. It's better than this, I ask them if they are willing, if they are willing, will Wang Gongzi stop it?"

Teng Yuyi secretly said, only if so many people serve the same man, a fool would be willing.

She put her hands up and raised her chest: "Then according to the prince's words, if they are willing, they will never stop them."

Lin Chengyou turned to the questionnaire Erli and Baozhu: "Although there are many people calling today, I will only pick one. I will give the selected one a generous gift. Would you like to give it a try?"

Calyx Ji blinked at the two of them from behind. In her opinion, Lin Chengyou is not an ordinary son of a noble family. As long as he is willing, it is no problem to buy the entire Caifeng Building. It is rare that he is willing to find someone to serve him. Chance. Although there are many people calling today, Dujuanerli and Baozhu are still innocent. If they are in line with Lin Chengyou's mind, why worry about their future.

Why don't these two foolish children move? Calyx Ji coughed violently, and Juan Erli woke up like a dream, but her face was pale, not only refused to move forward, but moved behind Teng Yuyi.

Lin Chengyou's smile was a little sluggish, and Teng Yuyi couldn't hide the sneering in her eyes. The meaning was very clear, Lin Chengyou, do you really regard yourself as a rare treasure? Look, there are many people who look down on you.

Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi, then turned to ask Baozhu, "How about you?"

Baozhu didn't speak, Teng Yuyi looked at her with satisfaction, but was stunned, only to see Baozhu's face like a quiet blooming begonia, and even the roots of her ears were red.

Lin Chengyou said in surprise, "Is this willing?"

Baozhu twisted the woman in his hand, and looked at Calyx Ji timidly.

Teng Yuyi couldn't laugh anymore, Calyx Ji was overjoyed: "Sir, her name is Baozhu."

Baozhu bowed, left Teng Yuyi and went to Calyx Ji, Lin Chengyou suddenly said, "Hold on."

Baozhu stopped in surprise, Lin Chengyou smiled sarcastically, "Young Master Wang did everything possible to keep you safe, why did you abandon her without looking at her?"

Baozhu bit his lip and lowered his head lower.

Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi: "Young Master Wang sees it clearly, you can't guarantee this, right? I'll take it away."

Juesheng and Qizhi were still waiting to catch up, but they were stopped by Teng Yuyi, who lost her temper: "That's it."

After turning around and taking a few steps, Lin Chengyou said to Calyx Ji, "You go in too."

Calyx Ji was holding the bead and whispering, and she didn't know what secret manual she was teaching. The words floated over like a thunder.

Bao Zhu was dumbfounded, and Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi stumbled.

Calyx Ji was stunned: "Me?"

Even Cheng Bo and Huo Qiu, who had not spoken, were startled.

Teng Yuyi was stunned at first, and then thought suspiciously, Lin Chengyou called out so many people in one breath, and even the elderly fake mother did not let go, does this seem like a prostitute?

I was suspicious, but left in no hurry.

Juesheng and Qizhi stomped their feet and ran to Lin Chengyou: "Senior brother."

Lin Chengyou grabbed Qizhi's ear and said with a grin, "Wait for me, I'll settle the account with you when I'm done."

Jue Sheng and Qi Zhi were confused and looked at Lin Chengyou's back. Teng Yuyi looked left and right, and there happened to be a pavilion nearby, so he pulled Juesheng and Jizhi over there.

Juanerli had been gouged out several times by Caly Ji before, but now she doesn't want to stay or stay, so she has to keep up with Teng Yuyi.

Lin Chengyou was not in a hurry to enter the room, standing on the steps as if waiting for someone, until He Mingsheng invited a dozen more beautiful ladies, and then pushed the door in.

As soon as the door closed, the casement was closed.

A gust of cool wind hit, the branches in front of the Langan rustled, and the people in the pavilion stared at them, Teng Yuyi smiled dryly: "It's a little cold, why don't you go back to the house?"

Juesheng and Qizhi jumped up: "Senior brother asked us to draw a talisman, we have just drawn half of it, we have to go back."

He Ming in the room stubbornly said to Lin Chengyou: "Sir, except for Juanerli and Gejin, all the first-class beautiful people in the building are here."

There are already four waiting in the inner room, and the rest are all in the outer room.

The ladies looked at each other, puzzled.

Lin Chengyou paced with his hands behind his back, looked at everyone's faces carefully, and finally pushed the door into the back room, leaning over to grab the water from the Dendrobium.

The bath soup is light brown and emits a faint fragrance.

"It's almost there, let's soak in the water."

The hearts of the four in the room jumped, hesitating whether to undress outside the bath or go in and undress again, and suddenly found that He Mingsheng was still outside the house. It was strange that Lin Chengyou didn't mean to let him go out, and not only did He Mingsheng not leave, but the outhouse came in again. Several old priests.

The old Taoist walked to the back room without looking sideways, and said solemnly: "The old Taoist is here, I don't know what to do."

Wei Zi and the others were surprised: "Prince?"

Lin Chengyou sat on the low couch in front of the window, took out a few pieces of gold from his sleeves, and put them on the table without hesitation, then raised his head and smiled: "When you put your clothes on and go down to the bath, who can be in the water? If you hold your breath for the longest time, I will give this pile of gold to someone."

***

Teng Yuyi went back to the room and slept well, and woke up at dusk, called Cheng Bo and Huoqiu, and asked, "Have you ever pulled out animal teeth?"

Cheng Bo raised his eyelids: "What do you mean by this lady?"

"Just ask." Teng Yuyi said nonchalantly, "I heard that animal teeth are extremely difficult to pull out, is there such a thing?"

Cheng Bo didn't change his face: "When I was in the front building at noon, the lady would rather use wine as bait in order to find out the key point of the corpse evil, but now I just learned that the key point of the corpse evil is the fangs, and she asked the old slave about the extraction of the animal's teeth. The old slave felt strange, and asked the lady to clear up her doubts."

Teng Yuyi tilted his head to look at Cheng Bo, regretting that he should have brought Cheng Bo out.

She smiled and said, "Uncle Cheng, I have something I wanted to ask you for a long time. Grandpa said you just turned fifty, why are your hair and beard white?"

This is true. Cheng Bo's hair and beard is snow-white, except for his pair of eyebrows, which are long and black. Looking at him suddenly, it looks like someone has randomly drawn two strokes on the snow-white paper with a brush dipped in ink.

Cheng Bo was unmoved, and smiled amiably: "Ordinary little lady is too scared to hear these weird things, why is the lady inquiring in detail? It seems that since the lady got the jade sword, she seems to be interested in strange things. interest."

Teng Yuyi corrected Cheng Bo: "My sword now has a name, it's called Xiaoya."

"Okay, Xiaoyajian." Cheng Bo immediately corrected, "The corpse is entangled with the lady, and the master has no choice but to entrust the lady to the hands of the Taoist priests of Dongmingguan and Qingyunguan. Take it, madam, don't take risks with yourself, if there is a mistake, how can the old slave explain it to the master."

Teng Yuyi patiently listened to Cheng Bo's ramble: "Cheng Bo, you marched with your grandfather to fight in the early years, and you are a hero. Now you take off your military uniform and do some trivial chores.

Cheng Bo's complexion changed: "The old slave and his wife and children are deeply grateful to the old man and his wife. They have already handed over their lives to the old man in this life, not to mention just taking care of the general affairs, even if they are drenched."

Teng Yuyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Uncle Cheng, you and I gossip all the time, why do you talk about these things? Although you call yourself a slave, I have always regarded you as an elder in my heart, and I will not hide it from you. As I said, a Taoist instrument like Xiaoya Sword was born to slay demons and slay demons. Every once in a while, evil spirits need to be fed to the sword. You have seen and heard rumors, you must have heard such rumors."

"The old slave has indeed heard it."

Teng Yuyi slowly rubbed the hilt of the sword: "I always have nightmares after falling into the water. Only with this sword can I sleep peacefully. These few times I have encountered evil spirits, and it is only with it that protects me from danger, so I have long made up my mind that I must maintain it well. Its magic power, but I don't know Taoism, where can I go to find demons to enshrine this sword? There are two Taoist priests here to eliminate demons. I don't want to miss the opportunity. It's dangerous, and I won't go up and die."

Most of these words are true, only the "borrowing" section is hidden.

"Old slave understands." Cheng Bo pondered and said, "Miss, why don't you give this sword to this old slave. The old slave is not bad. When the Taoist priests have subdued the two monsters, they will seize the opportunity to stab them to the core."

"This method won't work." Teng Yuyi smiled bitterly, "This sword recognizes the master, and it is an ordinary jade object that leaves me."

Cheng Bo walked around the house for a while, narrowed his eyes and said, "The old slave remembers one thing, when the old slave returned to Chang'an in the early years, he met an old friend in the workshop. When I was drinking, I talked about encountering a local corpse king."

Teng Yuyi's heart moved, it was Nanzhao again.

"The corpse king was also born with a pair of fangs. After he was unearthed, he made chaos everywhere. He raided the military camp every night, and even ate many soldiers. A local wizard who was good at witchcraft suggested that he should use two extremely tough strings to make In a circle, one of the corpse king's fangs was firmly caught on one side. Dozens of soldiers simultaneously exerted force and tore it off in one fell swoop. The generals of the military camp adopted this method, and the damage was successfully eliminated. Although the murderous power of the corpse is far away It is above the Corpse King, but the pair of fangs can be stretched and retracted freely, so there should be notches.

Teng Yu thought for a while and said, "The way is a good way. I will talk to them in detail when I meet a few priests. But this cannot be achieved by one person. Come on? Hey, worry, why don't you just stop fighting the corpse and think about that bird monster."

While the master and servant were talking, Huo Qiu said at the door, "Madam, Madam Baozhu asks to see you."

Cheng Bo looked out the door lightly, poured a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus wine for Teng Yuyi, clasped his hands, and slowly stepped aside.

Teng Yuyi lowered her eyes and took a sip: "Let her come in."

Baozhu came slowly.

Her hair was soaked through the temples, her hairpin was slanted to one side, and several strands of wet hair were stuck on her fair neck. She looked pitiful. She probably came out of the bath and her clothes were not dry, and she was tightly wrapped in a felt awning. In this way, her lips were still frozen white, and after entering, she glanced at Teng Yuyi with tears in her eyes: "The slave family has come to apologize to the son."

Teng Yuyi was full of surprise: "Where did this come from, and why are you guilty?"

Baozhu's tears fell down like beads, and slowly fell to the ground: "Young master protects you with all your heart, but the slave family is extremely foolish, unable to understand the master's intentions, and it makes the master cold for nothing. Now the slave family wants to understand, they know they have Ashamed, I wish I could make up for it with all my strength, I just ask the son to disregard the past and give the slave family another chance to serve the wine with music."

Teng Yuyi looked at the tea cup in his hand, and said slowly: "What do I think, it turns out to be this. It's not your fault. The Book of Rites says: 'In Fuyanfu, in Kuyanku, in Chaoyanchao, in Guan Yan Guan'. Although you are not a scholar, you still need to look after yourself. You have difficulties in everything you do. You are also a poor person. ?"

Baozhu burst into tears and laughed: "Young Master Wang doesn't have the same knowledge as the slave family, and the slave family admires it very much. The slave family is in a cage, and everything is involuntarily. What happened just now was not voluntary, but Aunt Calyx forced him, the prince he, the prince he—"

She raised her head as she spoke, her chest tightened suddenly, and saw Teng Yuyi smiling at her, her eyes bright as cold stars, although she didn't show disgust on her face, she seemed to have seen through her thoughts.

The palms of Baozhu’s hands began to sweat. This lady who pretended to be a Hu people and claimed to be the prince, had already regarded her as a speck of dust, which was even more embarrassing than when the prince had just been questioning her in public. The son seems to be just a joke.

She subconsciously grabbed the front, and she had a vague feeling that Young Master Wang could think of ways to protect her, but her heart was hardened, and it was colder than Bingbing. The protection and maintenance that you have had before, don't want to get it from the prince again.

After these days of stability, she almost forgot what it was like to be beaten and scolded by fake mothers and drinkers. She regretted that she should climb the high branches.

She was thinking at the time that the prince is a daughter after all, and although he is taking care of them now, he will not come if he can't say it. In exchange for a humiliation.

Unwilling to lose both ends, she hurriedly squeezed out a few more tears and said, "Young Master Wang."

Teng Yuyi put the tea cup on the table heavily, and Cheng Bo and Huoqiu approached and said, "Miss Baozhu, save yourself some respect, the young master tells you to leave, and don't come later."

Baozhu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and when she raised her head again, Teng Yuyi already had coldness in her eyes.
