September is full of flowers

The front hall of Taige in the dream is exactly the same as the one outside the dream, Shen Man is sitting on a mahogany chair, holding on to one armrest tightly.A Taige maid came out to greet them with tea, and then said that she was going to invite the gate supervisor.

"This snowy hair tip is very fragrant. You can't drink it outside. Why don't you try it?" Tang Jiuyue lifted the cover and blew gently.Curly green smoke rises from above the flower-painted teacup, and a faint fragrance surrounds the surroundings.This kind of fragrance can calm the impatience in the heart, and people can't help but feel at ease when they smell it.

According to what she said, Shen Man also picked up the teacup in his hand to drink tea.

Not long after, an inner door was opened, and a maid stood in front of the door to greet her, and then an old man came out.This old man has white beard and hair, but his back is straight and not stooped like other old people.His eyebrows are thick and his eyes are big. From the outline of his face, it can be seen that when he was young, he must have been a handsome young man who could fascinate thousands of girls.

Tang Jiuyue got up and nodded slightly at him, "Niece Tang Jiuyue, I met Uncle Zou."

Shen Man also stood up, and was about to bow to the old man, but saw the old man walked up to him in a few steps, supported his elbow with one hand, and smiled kindly, "Young lady, you don't need to do this big bow."

Shen Man raised his head and looked at him with some surprise.

He is an elder and he is a junior, and it is only natural for a junior to salute when he sees an elder.What's more, his elder is also the gate supervisor of the Dafeng Dynasty, who is in charge of the Yin and Yang Dao in the world, and he is also a noble figure who can speak among the ruling and opposition parties.At this moment, not only to be worshiped by myself, even if I have to kneel down to worship, it is reasonable.But now he is so humble, why?

Zou Yan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Niece Tang and this girl, please sit down."

"Thank you, Uncle Zou." Tang Jiuyue took a seat at random, and Shen Man also returned to his seat full of confusion.

Tang Jiuyue glanced at Shen Man, raised her head and said to Zou Yan, "Uncle Zou, my niece and her friends came here today to ask you for someone."

Shen Man raised his head and pricked up his ears to listen carefully.She thought she would have to go around in circles to mention it, but she didn't expect Tang Jiuyue to cut straight to the point and ask for someone directly.Knowing that Tang Jiuyue and Zou Yan might be acquainted, but did not expect to be so acquainted.

Zou Yan looked at Shen Man with a smile, "If you can let Xiaoyue ask for someone for you, what is your relationship with Xiaoyue?"

"Friend." Before Shen Man could speak, Tang Jiuyue said it lightly, with a flat tone and an indifferent expression as usual.

With a smile still on the corner of Zou Yan's mouth, he cast a look at the maid standing at the door, and the maid of Huizhi Lanxin got his signal and opened the inner door to lead someone away.

"Wait a moment, you two, he will be brought here soon." Zou Yan leaned comfortably on the plush chair and drank tea.After taking a sip of tea, he casually asked Tang Jiuyue, "How is your radish growing?"

Tang Jiuyue replied respectfully, "It's not bad."

"I heard that there are many strong enemies this year. What are your chances of winning?"

Tang Jiuyue raised her eyes, the brilliance in her eyes was like the most precious pearl in the depths of the East China Sea, "The odds of winning are not in my own hands."

"You planted the radish, so the odds of winning are naturally in your hands."

Tang Jiuyue smiled softly, "Speaking of growing radishes, my niece's uncle Tang Menjian once looked at the ruined mess of the fields and said to his niece that when the big exam is over, he will personally calculate the losses of the Weather Gate, together with the damage you caused to his mansion." Trouble, I come to you to settle accounts together. My niece once saw him in the study, and the accountant was cracking his abacus, and even invited Master Zeng, who is a master of calculations, to calculate together..."

Zou Yan became embarrassed, "We are all doing our best for the country, it would be too much for Supervisor Tang to do this..."

Tang Jiuyue said calmly, "I have persuaded uncle about this matter, but uncle thinks that one thing is another thing. Although he is your subordinate in name, and he is in charge of the various departments of Yin and Yang Dao, since it is the test question of Tianwenmen, there is no reason to ask for it. Put it to the meteorological department for examination. He has already planned to do it privately instead of going to the emperor to sue, so he just made a list of dozens of volumes, and is going to discuss it with you..."

Zou Yan sat on the top and twirled his beard, his complexion was not very good.

Shen Man sat on the side with eyes dumbfounded, she didn't expect Tang Jiuyue to be so eloquent and eloquent.She thought that the future gate supervisor would only play cool and cherish words like gold.At this moment, he was able to choke at the gate of Dangchao so that he could not speak, it was really unexpected.

At this time, the inner door was pushed open with a "squeak", and Shen Man immediately straightened up, staring at the door without blinking.A foot wearing an embroidered shoe protruded from the door, and Shen Man knew it was not Tang Jiuyue's foot at a glance.Sure enough, the one who came out first was the Taige maid who had just left.

After the maid came in, she stayed on the sidelines, and then, another person came out from the ordinary door.I saw her tall and straight, wearing a white embroidered lace dress, walking out of the door gracefully with her hands behind her back.A pair of beautiful eyes were still cold before, like a cold light.But when she glanced at the people in the hall, especially when she saw Shen Man directly opposite, her cold eyes softened a little.

"Xiao Man." She said softly, as if she had passed through thousands of mountains and rivers, as if a greeting came suddenly from an empty valley.

Zou Yan watched silently, and saw Tang Jiuyue, who was wearing a mask, get up from the chair, staring at the person who just entered with complicated eyes.At this moment, a little smile appeared on Zou Yan's old wrinkled face, which made the wrinkle on his face deeper, as if it had been cut by a knife.

Tang Jiuyue, who walked out from the inner door, also saw another person. This person was wearing a mask, and his stature was slightly shorter than her own, but her demeanor was inexplicably familiar.And her eyes... Tang Jiuyue saw this kind of eyes in the mirror more than once.But it was different from what she saw in the mirror. What she saw in the mirror was herself, a weakened self after refraction, but the look in the eyes of the person in front of her directly made Tang Jiuyue feel threatened.Because there is another person in this world who is exactly like me.

When Shen Man saw her coming out, his eyes felt sore.Hearing her call again, he walked towards her in three steps at a time, stopped in front of her, and looked up and down.The eye sockets turned red unknowingly, and a crystal teardrop rolled down her cheek without disappointment.She raised her sleeve to wipe away the tears, looked helplessly at Tang Jiuyue who was close at hand, and said sourly, "I thought I would never see you again, are you okay, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"

Seeing her like this, Tang Jiuyue knew that she had been worrying outside for a long time, so she sighed and comforted, "Don't worry, they didn't make things difficult for me."

Shen Man continued, "You said you wanted to come to the Tai Pavilion, but you didn't know there was no news when you went there. Later, a notice was posted in front of the Tai Pavilion, saying that the 'witch' would be burned, and I was terrified. So I came here. Seeing that you are safe now, I feel relieved."

When Tang Jiuyue heard this, she turned her head and asked Zou Yan, "Did you really hang up the notice saying you were going to burn me?"

Zou Yan coughed and pointed at the masked person casually, "You misunderstood, I said she was the one who was going to be burned."

The masked man turned his face and asked coldly, "Then Uncle Zou is going to burn me?"

Zou Yanqian laughed and said, "It's a misunderstanding, if you don't do this, how can you invite Miss Shen?"

Shen Man shuddered, she never mentioned her name, since she fell into a dream, she also entrusted her surname as Tang, named Lu Luo.How did Zou Yan know that his surname was Shen?Could it be that even this can be calculated?

"I'm just a nobody, why did the gate supervisor invite me?"

Zou Yan's smile gradually disappeared, he continued to stroke his beard, and after a short pause, he smiled again, "I thought it would be impossible for me to see you in my lifetime, but I don't know why there is such an opportunity, but When the opportunity comes, I will definitely seize it." After saying this, he turned his head and looked at Tang Jiuyue without a mask, "Xiaoyue, you should know what you are going to do, don't let that person down on you. Entrust."

Shen Man was confused when he heard that, and turned to look at Tang Jiuyue, and saw black clouds of depression rolling in her eyes. This kind of eyes was something he had never seen before, with a strange sense of alienation and With a trace of fear, killing, and determination.

After a long while, Tang Jiuyue replied resolutely, "Don't worry about it." Then he asked, "Can I go?"

Before Zou Yan could reply, she heard another voice that was exactly the same as her say, "Wait." She walked in front of Tang Jiuyue and Shen Man, her face behind the mask must have a stern expression, "I have something to ask you .” She stopped in front of them.

"Girl, please tell me." Tang Jiuyue replied indifferently.

Just as the other party was about to speak, a maid ran in and knelt on the ground.

Zou Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you panicking?"

The maid raised her head, her face paled, "Report to the gate supervisor, a large cauldron...was dug out from the field of the Weather Gate...the cauldron...inside...there were... dead bodies!"
