September is full of flowers

An hour later, in the capital.

Shen Man walked out of a certain pawnshop with his head drooping, and stood at the door reluctantly thinking about the Fenglin Xiaopei she had just handed over.The shadow cast on the ground pulled the old elders, and Shen Man's head seemed to be covered with a layer of dark clouds.

This Fenglin Xiaopei was a meeting gift given by her own father, and Tang Jiuyue just got into it.Even if she wanted to bribe the gate supervisor, she should put it in her own pocket first, but Tang Jiuyue asked the boss for money directly, and put it in her own pocket in front of Shen Man.

Shen Man thought that Tang Jiuyue had never had a purse, and Qing Ning had always held the financial power, but when she saw the slightly exaggerated purse with a wild duck embroidered with gold thread on Tang Jiuyue's waist, she took back what she had said to her before. Tang Jiuyue's extraordinary impression of "treating money like dung".

At this moment, Shen Man feels even more that Tang Jiuyue in this dream is actually a robber, and his temperament may be the same as Ding Feng's, which is completely different from the dream.But she couldn't say whether she liked the one in the dream or the one in reality, as long as it was Tang Jiuyue, she liked it.

Happy when you see it, sad when you don't see it.

Then Tang Jiuyue came out of the pawn shop with a bulging wallet, standing proudly beside her.The clothes are light and the scenery is like the moon.He glanced lightly at Shen Man who had fallen into the abyss of the bottomless black hole, and then led the way, "Let's go, let's go to Taige to meet your friend."

The two of them avoided the busiest streets and took the most desolate and secluded streets in the capital city where the most officials lived.Seeing that Shen Man was gradually approaching his residence in the capital, he suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I forgot about them in the restaurant!"

She was locked out of the door once before, got wet in the rain, and met Ding Feng.I left Lian Yi and others in the restaurant today, and I haven't seen them come back until now, and now they are nowhere to be found, so I am a little worried.

"Do you still have friends in the capital?" Tang Jiuyue asked.

"Well, there are still a few friends here." Shen Man thought that this is not the time to think about them, the most important thing right now is to go to Taige to meet the real Tang Jiuyue.

"The man lying next to the stone lion in front is probably your friend?" Tang Jiuyue raised her chin, motioning Shen Man to look forward.

Shen Man followed the direction she hinted at, and saw a young man tiptoeing in front of the door of the Ye Mansion, which he had been to before, holding on to the red-painted doorpost and looking inside the crack of the door.Behavior is wretched and despicable.

The man was dressed as a scholar, with a neat bun and a clean face.When Shen Man first met him, he was still a gentle and polite young master, but now he has become a gentle scum who peeps in front of other people's houses.

"Miss Tang, wait a moment, I'm going to say hello to my friend." Shen Man greeted awkwardly and walked over. Ding Feng was still in front of the door, unaware that someone had come behind him.

"Master Ding..." Shen Man quietly said behind him, "Why are you peeping in front of his mansion?"

Ding Feng was really taken aback by the fright, he patted his heart and turned to see Shen Man, his reddened handsome face became a little calmer.

"So it's Master, you old man..."

"I told you not to call me master." Shen Man said anxiously.

It was only then that Ding Feng noticed that there was a woman standing nearby. That person was slim and tall, and he felt full of momentum just by looking at his standing posture.And the pair of eyes hidden behind the mask were looking straight at him without any hesitation.Those terrifying eyes seem to have many fine threads, through which one can see everything about oneself.

"Who is that?" Ding Feng's expression became serious, his eyes fixed on Tang Jiuyue.

"She is the helper I invited," Shen Man said, "She has a way to take me directly to Zou Yan's gate supervisor."

"What way?"

Shen Man rolled his eyes and said, "Go through the back door."

"Ah?" Ding Feng didn't react all of a sudden, and said in a daze, "Go through the back door? Zou Yan's gate supervisor will eat this?"

"It should be, let's try it for now." Shen Man looked around and asked, "Where are Lian Yi and Mr. Li, where did they go?" Mr. Li, the miser, should still have a lot of gold leaves on him. , the more money you have on your body, the better.Tang Jiuyue has already tried her best to make Master Li obey her words, so how long would it be if she didn't rob Master Li now.

Ding Feng said, "When they got off the restaurant, they dispersed. I don't know where they went, maybe they went outside the city."

"Outside the city?" Shen Man was surprised, "I just came back from outside the city, and I didn't meet them. They went to look for me outside the city?"

"Something seems to have happened outside the city," Ding Feng frowned and thought, "Many people ran out of the city."

Shen Man thought for a while and asked, "Why did you stay here when they all ran away?"

Ding Feng's handsome white face took on a strange blush again, "This house has been vacant for a long time, and a new family has recently moved into the city. But according to my observation, the house is not clean, and there is a problem with the feng shui direction. I'm afraid the family won't know about it, so..."

"Since you really want to help people with Feng Shui, why don't you knock on the door and ask, instead of standing outside the door and sneaking around?"

Ding Feng coughed lightly and said, "I'm just an examinee, and I usually set up a stall on the street to test characters for a living. Like the people living on this street, they are all officials and aristocrats, and there are naturally appointed shadow masters in the family. Feng Shui, you won't invite someone like me for no reason..."

With a thought, Shen Man felt sorry for Ding Feng.Thinking of him as a humble scholar who was neglected in the capital, it was not easy for him to get to such a low level with no relatives or reasons.

According to development, Ding Feng should enter Ye Mansion to change Feng Shui for them.but--

"There is indeed a problem with Feng Shui here," Tang Jiuyue's voice suddenly came out, startling Shen Man.She took out an envelope from her bosom, handed it to Ding Feng, and said, "Hold this letter, and the people inside will receive you. After changing Feng Shui, you can ask them for a fee. As long as it is reasonable, they will accept you." for you."

After she finished the call, she walked past them regardless of how Ding Feng and Shen Man reacted.Seeing her leave, Shen Man looked at this and that, as if he was hesitating about which way to go.Gritting her teeth and stomping her feet, she said to Ding Feng, "Just do what that girl said, and you will definitely get what you want."

After hastily confessing to Ding Feng, Shen Man hurriedly caught up with Tang Jiuyue.

"What was written in the letter?" she asked curiously.

Tang Jiuyue said softly, "That's a letter of recommendation, signed by Ning Songhe."

Shen Man's heart beat violently.Ning Songhe!It was the uncle she had never met before!Ning Songhe died suddenly that year, and the people in Ning Xiangfu never mentioned it. His death was like a huge stone, pressing on the heads of everyone in the Xiangfu, making them breathless.

Later, Ning Xu, the eldest grandson of Ning Xiangfu, also died unexpectedly...

"Why do you have Ning Songhe's recommendation letter?"

Tang Jiuyue said lightly, "That's fake."

Shen Man was dumbfounded and petrified on the spot. "Fake?"

Tang Jiuyue raised one eyebrow, she looked really good-looking, and comforted Shen Man, "Don't worry, even Ning Songhe himself can't tell that it's a fake."

Shen Manchu slandered, "It's not the key whether you can see or not, the key is that you handed such a questionable letter to Ding Feng... If that stubborn guy is holding a chicken feather as an arrow, he still doesn't know What kind of trouble will it cause..."

Taige.

Sure enough, the guards below the jade steps did not embarrass Tang Jiuyue. Tang Jiuyue led Shen Man up the long jade steps before the Tai Pavilion on foot.Halfway through, Tang Jiuyue stopped suddenly.Shen Man looked up at her from behind and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Can make Tang Jiuyue stop and hesitate, is there any danger ahead?

Tang Jiuyue was silent for a while, then slowly turned her head and said, "It's nothing, just a little short of breath."

Shen Man, "..."

In the end, Shen Man dragged the future gate supervisor up the jade steps, and came to the familiar eight red-painted gates of Taige.Only the two middle sides of the eight gates were opened, guarding the flowery and jade-like Taige maid as usual.

Shen Man looked at them, thinking that it was not Tang Jiuyue's special hobby to choose beautiful women as maids in Taige, but a long-standing custom.She had misunderstood Supervisor Tang on this point.

"I heard that there was a formation before the Taige, and almost no one could break it except those who were approved by the gate supervisor. Why didn't I see the rumored formation along the way?" Shen Man looked around and asked.

Tang Jiuyue used Shen Man's strength to climb up the most annoying jade steps, and now she is thinking about how to modify the place to make climbing the jade steps easier if she lives here in the future.Suddenly heard Shen Man's question, he tilted his head to look at Shen Man and replied, "We have already broken that formation, so naturally we can't see the broken formation."

Shen Man was stunned, "When did we break the formation?"

According to Master Li and Lian Yi, this formation is wonderful, how could they break it so easily?Shen Man didn't even notice its existence, and Tang Jiuyue didn't bother to see it. Could it be that this formation is just a cover, useless?

Tang Jiuyue shook the purse on her waist, and there was a pleasing sound of metal crashing in the purse.

"The road is trapped in this formation but not the people. We are afraid of gold and not wood, fire and earth."

Shen Man thought for a while, his eyes lit up and said, "You mean, the more you want to use yin and yang Taoism to untie this formation, the more people will be unable to untie this formation."

Tang Jiuyue nodded.

Shen Man smiled slightly, "But I don't quite understand the second half of your sentence."

Tang Jiuyue said helplessly, "Any student of Yin-Yang Dao with a little family background must have one or two things to ward off evil spirits, such as the Fenglin Xiaopei hanging on your body is one of them. I pawned your little pendant, one is it It will cause the formation of this formation to activate, but because this formation can only be broken with money, the more money you carry, the weaker the power of this formation..."

Shen Man looked up at the vermilion lacquered gate of the Taige, feeling quite emotional, "I finally know what 'a famous teacher produces a good apprentice'."
