After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Seeing that the knife was swiped and was about to cause irreparable damage, a stone crashed into Chongming's forehead.

Chongming screamed in pain, and the knife in his hand was deflected, slicing across his thigh.

"Ahhh!"

The knife on his thigh immediately started bleeding, staining his pants red, and he screamed in pain.

Seeing this, the others breathed a sigh of relief.

It was Yan Mu who threw the stone. He looked at Chongming coldly and asked, "Afraid of pain?"

Chongming felt hurt and aggrieved, and glared at Yan Mu fiercely, "Everyone is afraid of pain. Are you stupid for asking such a question?"

Yan Mu looked at him and asked: "I created a set of magic skills of my own, do you want to learn it?"

As soon as he heard the word 'magic skill', Chongming immediately became excited and said, "Think about it!"

"Later, you come to my room and I will teach you."

"Then I..."

"Let's bandage the wound first."

After saying that, Yan Mu turned around and went back.

Chongming looked at Yan Mu's back and whispered: "The master is indeed a master. He is so impressive. I have to find a way to become his teacher! Hiss, it hurts so much. There is someone in this world who can practice without having to go to the palace." The magic power was achieved, but this sword missed the target!"

Chongming murmured to himself as Hua Zhu took him away to bandage his wounds.

Liu Yunxiang wiped away cold sweat and was so frightened when he saw the beggar that he couldn't stand still. He was leaning against the wall and sighing.

She also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, although Yan Mu was confused, at least his IQ was still there and he was not as crazy as Chongming.

She asked the beggar to keep an eye on Yan Mu and then returned to Nanhong Mansion first.

As the Hundred Flowers Festival approaches, the streets have been quite busy these days, especially the shops selling cloth. Beijin people attach great importance to the Hundred Flowers Festival. According to tradition, women will wear new clothes on this day, visit flower streets, and worship at flower temples. Married people pray to the flower god to protect their love, and unmarried people seek a good marriage.

Liu Yunxiang saw that the other three shops were full, and the customers were squeezed out of the door. The shopkeepers of those three shops occasionally showed their faces, and their faces were full of joy. When they took a look at their Nanhong Building, they were even more proud.

As soon as Liu Yunxiang entered the door, shopkeeper Hu rushed over eagerly.

"Master, let's open the door for business. The worst is small profits but quick turnover. Even if there are many customers, we can always sell some, which is better than not making any money now."

Liu Yunxiang sat down and smiled slowly: "Shopkeeper Hu, hold on still."

"Oh, boss, no matter how safe we ​​are, we may lose all the travel expenses back to Da Rong!" Shopkeeper Hu clapped his hands anxiously.

Another waiter said: "In the past few days, we have had customers knocking on the door. We feel like scratching our heads, but the owner doesn't speak, so we can only watch the customers leave with regret."

As soon as the guy finished speaking, there were a few clanging sounds outside. Sure enough, there was a guest knocking on the door.

"Look here..." Shopkeeper Hu looked at Liu Yunxiang longingly.

Liu Yunxiang hissed at him and continued drinking tea calmly.

Sure enough, after a few rings, the visitor stopped knocking.

"Why isn't this cloth store open?" the man asked the passers-by.

"Tsk, tsk, you don't know. The Nanhong Building is not open at the moment. It will only wait for the Hundred Flowers Festival to welcome guests. They also said that there are noble people who want to wear clothes made of their silk and satin. It is called Jinlu Yuehua. It blows so much that there is something in the sky. There is nothing in the ground, but the price is tens of thousands of taels. Let's come and take a look that day. What's more, they sell silk from Da Rong. A piece of cloth costs at least a hundred taels, which ordinary people can't afford. And it's not you who are rich. You can just buy it, and they still choose customers. In short, I have never seen a business like this, and it will be closed sooner or later."

"It's not just a piece of clothing. Even those wealthy families or the wives of officials would not always wear such expensive clothes."

"No, that's not the case. I guess this owner has never done any business, so he's acting like this."

The two people's voices gradually faded away, and shopkeeper Hu couldn't help but sigh.

"My boss, the noble person you are talking about?"

Liu Yunxiang put down the tea cup and was thinking quietly when the door was knocked again.

The guy looked embarrassed, "This..."

Shopkeeper Hu sighed again, "We just pretend we can't hear you."

At this time, people outside shouted: "Miss Liu is here, my princess is here to thank you."

The corners of Liu Yunxiang's mouth curled up: "The noble man is here!"

Shopkeeper Hu was stunned for a moment, "Then let's open the door quickly?"

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "Welcome people to the backyard."

In the backyard, not long after, shopkeeper Hu led Princess Ying to come, but she didn't come alone, there were two people in Chinese clothes beside her. One of the women was older, elegant and elegant, and the other was a young woman, wearing beads and a jade pendant. She looked around with disgust.

Liu Yunxiang came out and was about to salute, but was stopped by Princess Ying.

"There is no need to be polite between us."

Liu Yunxiang nodded and saw that Murong Zhixi's complexion had improved a lot and her belly had grown bigger. It was obvious that she was doing well these days.

"By the way, let me introduce to you, this is my mother, and this is my second sister Zhiqing."

Liu Yunxiang looked at the woman first and saw her expression was indifferent. He saluted and said, "Mrs. Murong Jin An, civilian daughter Liu Yunxiang."

"Mother, it was Miss Liu who saved her daughter." Murong Zhixi added hurriedly.

Madam Murong glanced at Liu Yunxiang, then turned her head and nodded to the maid beside her. The maid came forward with a wooden box and opened it in front of Liu Yunxiang.

There was silver inside, about ten ingots, or 100 taels.

"Just think of it as a thank you gift from my chief minister's office to you."

Murong Zhixi frowned, "Mother, why did you prepare money? It's really inappropriate."

Madam Murong raised her eyebrows, "Why, these 100 taels of silver are not enough?"

At this time, the young woman standing aside spoke: "She saved you probably because of your status. She only wants more. People like us should not get too close to these untouchables, so as not to make other aristocratic families laugh. "

"Second sister!" Murong Zhixi said angrily.

Murong Zhiqing sneered coldly, "It is."

As she spoke, she covered her lips and nose with a handkerchief, as if it stunk here.

Liu Yunxiang smiled and pushed the box containing the silver back, "Madam, if you say something inappropriate, I am not short of money."

Madam Murong narrowed her eyes, "Maybe you didn't understand what I said..."

"I heard it very clearly, so please take the money back."

There was displeasure on Madam Murong's face, and she winked at the maid, asking her to take the silver back, "Zhixi has always said that your Nanhonglou silks and satins are good, bring a few pieces over and let us have a look."

Liu Yunxiang still smiled calmly: "Those three of you, please come into the room first. I'll have someone prepare tea."

After sending the three of them into the hall, when Liu Yunxiang went out to make arrangements, Murong Zhixi chased him out.

"Yunxiang, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother and second sister."

Liu Yunxiang shook his head, "I don't take it to heart."

"No matter what they say, if you are new here, if you need help, you must ask! Don't forget, we are life and death friends." Murong Zhixi said seriously.

"Ok, I know."

Murong Zhixi said regretfully: "I was about to leave the mansion to see you, and they happened to come to the palace and bumped into each other. If I had known better, I wouldn't have brought them here."

Liu Yunxiang took Murong Zhixi's hand and patted it, "Okay, I really don't worry about it, but if you want to help me..."

"You just have to say something!" Murong Zhixi held Liu Yunxiang's hand tightly, "I will go up to the mountain of knives and to the sea of ​​fire, and I won't even blink!"

"It's really not necessary!"
