There are not many servants in Shanfu, most of them have followed for decades, so they naturally know who Dan Xuan is.

Before Shan Danxuan came out of her boudoir, she was always pampered in the mansion. Even after her family fell into ruin, Shandong and Lin Que still loved her. Such a delicate and frail little daughter is sensible and well-behaved, Who else can she feel sorry for.

Shan Dong's face was heavy, "That young man of the Rong family specified that he wanted her back then, I didn't expect it would turn out like this."

The two old maids standing on one side looked at each other in blank dismay.

"I said that I could help the Shan family out of trouble, and Lin Que and I agreed. Danxuan seemed to be steaming in this world after he left. Over the years, he sent letters to Qi'an, but without exception, he sent a reply. There never was." Shan Dong said again.

The servants lowered their eyes, not knowing what to say.

After more than ten years, the servants in the mansion thought that Danxuan had gone back to her mother's house to visit relatives, but after hearing it, they realized that it was not Danxuan who came back, but her and Rong Changting's daughter. Many, but the same body is weak, and at first glance... they are not blessed.

The body is thin, and it looks... the life is also thin.

Dan Liushuang led the people to the side courtyard, holding Rongli's arm, quietly raised her eyes, scrutinized her cousin who had never met before, she was young, and she was always outspoken, asking in a low voice : "Cousin, why did you bring your servants to the imperial city? What does it mean that the Rong family is gone? There is no other person in charge of the Rong family except uncle."

Hearing the sound, Rong Li bowed his head, and saw that this girl was as tall as her flaying ghost, and she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, like a peacock, her small face was so charming, she immediately fell in love with her.

"Sister?" Seeing that she was silent, Dan Liushuang called again.

Hua Su looked around at the side, she didn't like to have close friendships with ordinary people, but she would never feel unhappy physically and mentally at the first glance, now for some reason, she doesn't like this girl very much, she frowned impatiently and said: " It's called a soul."

After finishing speaking, Dan Liushuang really called out eagerly again.

Only then did Rong Li say: "The head of the Rong family is gone."

Dan Liushuang didn't dare to show his breath, and his eyes were cautious, lest if he spoke loudly, his frail elder sister would be frightened, so he whispered: "I heard from others that the Rong's mansion where my aunt went is in Qi Ann is the first class and the first class, so the person in charge will not be here no matter what."

Rong Li said softly: "Something happened."

Dan Liushuang was very puzzled, "What is it?"

She paused, and hastily raised her hand to cover her mouth, "Cousin, don't think I'm noisy, if you can't say it, I won't ask about it anymore."

Rong Li smiled, "It's okay."

Shan Liushuang nuzzled, "Since the Rong family is gone, the cousin might as well stay in the Shan family. I only heard about my aunt from other people, but I never heard that there is a cousin."

"I'm sorry to take you in this time, I'm probably just staying for a while, so I don't want to disturb you." Rong Li took a breath, he was too tired to talk after the long journey.

Dan Liushuang said hastily: "How can I call it an interruption, grandpa wants to come and cousin also wants to stay here longer."

Hua Su walked for a while, then said in a low voice, "This Shan's house is cleaner than Rong's, at least there are no grieving ghosts who died tragically."

Rong Li turned around and asked: "I heard that my mother never returned to the imperial city after she went to Qi'an, in fact, I didn't want to come to the imperial city to bother grandpa and grandma, but now that the Rong family is gone, I have nowhere to go. "Her breath was weak, and she spoke in a low voice, which sounded very pitiful.

Hua Su sneered coldly, looking straight at her face, not knowing how true or false the fox's words were.

For a girl like Shan Liushuang, where did she have any twists and turns, she just felt that her sister was so helpless, and immediately said: "Although I have never been to Qi'an, I heard that the road to Qi'an is not easy. I have to walk for several days and nights to get there. My sister has suffered all the way. I heard a little bit about it in the mansion before. It is said that when my aunt was not married, her grandparents loved her the most. Now that my sister came, I think grandma and grandpa will do the same. It will hurt my sister."

Rong Li shook his head slightly, "If the Shan family is inconvenient, I'll make another plan."

Dan Liushuang hurriedly tightened her hand, "Auntie's house has to be cleaned out for my sister to live in, so why would it be inconvenient, and most of the people in the house are easy-going, but they are a bit arrogant, which makes people feel upset when they see it , but these two people are irrelevant, if they dare to come and make noise, I will drive them out with a broom."

Rong Li rolled his eyes, thinking that this girl is really aggressive, and she doesn't know where she learned to drive people away with a broom.She pondered over the meaning of her words, and asked, "Who are those two people you mentioned?"

"My eldest brother and second sister, these two are very bad." Dan Liushuang snorted.

Rong Li probably understands that he can't get along with this girl and his own brothers and sisters.

The house Danxuan lived in before was even in the side yard. The yard was not big, but it was very clean. A pond was dug outside the yard to raise fish. Several koi were as long as half her arm, and they were covered in scales in the water. shining brightly.

The room hadn't been cleaned for a long time, when the door was opened, the dust fell down, choking Rong Li, the inside was full of dust, even the curtain hanging on the bed became dusty, I don't know why What color is it.

Dan Liushuang stared wide-eyed, and said in a low voice: "It's the first time for me to enter this house. Earlier, my second sister wanted to move here, but my grandfather refused, saying that I would keep it for my aunt. When I can’t come back, I don’t even have a place to live.”

Rong Li could tell that Shan Dong and Lin Que really loved Dan Xuan, they hadn't seen each other for more than ten years, and they still kept the house.

She pinched the handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose. Although she was uncomfortable, she just wanted to take a look at the place where Danxuan lived before.

A cold hand suddenly touched her shoulder, pulling her forward with a gentle manner.

Hua Su said coldly in her ear: "This room is so dirty, I dare to step in it."

Rong Li was dragged and had to take a big step back, she stared slightly, and glanced at the ghost from the corner of her eye, silently confronting him.

Hua Su snorted lightly, "Why, you got angry when I pulled you a bit? You wanted me to save your life before, but it didn't. I think you want to be choked by the dust and smoke and throw half your life away." .”

Rong Li remained silent, and after exiting the door, he slowly lowered his head and removed the handkerchief covering his mouth and nose.

Shan Liushuang only knew that she backed away, but didn't know that she was dragged by a ghost, so she turned her head and slapped her face, "Why hasn't anyone come to clean up? .”

The three girls followed closely, seeing that the house had not been tidied up, they temporarily put the things on their shoulders and their hands on the ground.

Kong Qing has been looking at her own girl, and naturally saw Rongli's step back just now, it was too sudden, and her shoulders were tilted to one side, obviously pulled by something .She knew that there was a ghost following her girl, and she knew immediately that the ghost had come again.

It's just that the girl's expression is too natural, she doesn't seem to be afraid, she is relieved, as long as the girl is not afraid, she is not afraid.

After a while, someone came to tidy up in a hurry. Seeing that he was not young, he should have stayed in the mansion for a long time.

Those people bowed politely, looked at Rongli from the corner of their eyes, and then went into the room silently to clean up.

Several people whispered in the room, "It looks a bit like Miss Danxuan, but it's a pity, she looks weak and sick."

"I just saw that the master's expression is not very good, and I don't know what happened to the Rong family, so that such a rich man came all the way to the imperial city."

"If the emperor is a strong dragon, then the Rong family can be regarded as a local snake in Qi'an. I quietly asked the girl who was serving in the front hall just now, and the girl said... the girl from the Rong family said that the Rong family is gone. Can you believe what you say, even a strong dragon can't overwhelm a local snake, how can the Rong family just say nothing."

"It's true that the girl from the Rong family came all the way to the imperial city, but something really happened to the Rong family."

"Then why didn't Miss Danxuan come back?"

"The waiter in the front hall said that the girl... seems to be gone."

Rong Li stood outside the house without changing her expression, but she heard everything clearly, her hearing became much stronger for no reason, and she could even hear the movement inside the house very clearly.Knowing that this trip to Shan's house would inevitably be talked about, she had already made sufficient preparations.

Standing behind her, Hua Su pulled back the black robe at some point, revealing the white skirt and black dress underneath, her silver and black hair fluttering in the wind, seeing Rongli's eyes downcast, she raised her hand Covering her ears to Xuxu, said softly: "Don't listen if you don't want to listen, it's not necessary to listen."

Obviously those hands were cold, but when they lightly touched her ears, they seemed to burn her ears.

But Rongli couldn't lift his hand to push her away, so he had to endure it, the pinna of his ear was itching badly.

Hua Su saw that the tips of her ears were a little red, so she chuckled immediately, her tone was slow, with a bit of arrogance that should be expected from a high position, "If you make a contract with a painting ghost, your hearing will be much better, but it's not very You can't listen, as for how to do it, I will teach you slowly in the future."

The door of the room was wide open, Dan Liushuang glanced in from time to time, she was standing outside, but pointed to the room and said: "The table is not wiped clean, and there are cabinets, remember to wipe it, otherwise what Let’s put things away, the curtain is so dirty, I’d better change it, I’m afraid it won’t be clean after washing.”

The three maids stood behind and looked at each other, Kong Qing looked at it for a while, then stepped forward and asked: "Girl, can we help clean up?"

Dan Liushuang turned her head back: "How can there be so many people in the room, you take a rest, this road is not driven by your three servant girls?"

Kong Qing nodded, being in someone else's house, she couldn't help but feel a little cautious.

Dan Liushuang stared, "It's so powerful, you guys know the way, I don't even know which direction Qi An is in. If the road is not too far, I would like to visit Qi An too."

Rong Li coughed twice, "Qi An is nothing interesting."

"That's because sister, you are tired of looking at Qi An, just like I also think the emperor is meaningless." Shan Liushuang said again: "If my sister returns to Qi An in the future, why don't you take me with you, I also want to grow up elsewhere. experience."

As soon as she finished speaking, Rongli's ears were tightly covered.

Hua Su said indifferently: "This girl speaks like a slingshot shooting a stone, crackling and noisy."

Rong Li doesn't move, doesn't move, just feels that half of that hand is stuck to her face, although it's cold, it's really delicate as fat, the palm is soft and soft, it looks like a pair of pampered hands.

When this ghost was in Cangming City before, he didn’t need to do anything himself, he just needed to command other ghosts, and if he didn’t need to use some ghost power on himself, the things could move by themselves, it’s so easy Yes, can your hands not slippery?

Rong Li pursed his lips slightly, his ears were a little hot, in this cold weather, someone would believe that his ears turned red from the cold.

Seeing that the people in the room were tidying up too slowly, Hua Su let out a ghostly breath reluctantly.

With the ghostly aura, the dust and smoke flying in the room suddenly decreased a lot, as if it was swept away by the wind in a blink of an eye.

"What are your plans?" Hua Su asked.

Rong Li turned around and asked Dan Liushuang, "There must be quite a few people with the surname Zhou in the imperial city. I wonder if you have heard of Zhou Qinglin, my sister?"

Dan Liushuang turned her head, she didn't expect Rongli to ask about this person, she asked doubtfully, "Sister, why are you asking him?"

Hua Su was a little annoyed to hear that the two sisters came and went, and wondered if ordinary people are so polite, they can be called sisters and sisters just after meeting, "Could it be that you want to find this Zhou for Danxuan? "

Rong Li said: "I heard about this person before, but I don't know what he does."

Dan Liushuang suddenly realized and nodded: "This is a high-ranking official. There are many people who inquire about him. I heard that he is a famous person in front of the emperor. Grandpa even sent someone to send him some cloth a while ago."

Rong Li raised his eyes, "Grandpa knows this person?"

Shan Liushuang shook her head, "I don't know if it's acquaintance, but this master often sends things to our house. Although they are not worth a lot of money, they are tea and rice salt at most, but they are still kind."

Rong Li was taken aback, could it be that Zhou Qinglin was still thinking about Dan Xuan?Pity.

She then asked again: "Is Master Zhou living in the imperial city?"

Dan Liushuang nodded, "Of course, it's just across the Hongyang Bridge, the house is huge."

After the house was tidied up, the servants inside withdrew, the house was completely new, and the dusty curtains were also replaced.

Dan Liushuang entered the room and looked around, "I have to go to my husband's place to learn poetry, and I will find my sister later."

An old woman said to Xiaofu, Bai Liu and Kong Qing: "Since she is the girl who serves the girl, she should live in the next room. The girl looks weak, so it's better to live closer. In the past, when Miss Danxuan was still there, That house is where the maid serving her lives."

The three girls nodded repeatedly and leaned slightly.

Rong Li also nodded, and waved to the three girls outside, "Bring everything in."

The three maids then entered the house with bamboo boxes and burdens on their backs, and looked around. In fact, this room was much more spacious than the one my girls lived in in the orchid courtyard. Although the boxes were old, they were still old. Usable.

Rong Li walked towards the bed, touched the mattress, it was thick and clean.After sitting down, the tense muscles and bones all over her body loosened, and only then did she feel sore in her hands and feet, and she didn't want to get up all at once.

Xiaofu took out the things from the bamboo box one by one, then turned around and asked, "Miss, what do you ask Mr. Zhou to do?"

"I heard it by accident, and I'm a little curious." Rong Li said.

After tidying up her things, Xiaofu turned her head and saw that the old woman was still outside the door, she hurried over and asked, "Is there anything else this nanny wants to tell you?"

The old woman said slowly: "You three girls, come with me after you pack up, and I will take you to admit to Shanfu."

Xiao Fu responded, and turned her head to see Bai Liu and Kong Qing also put away their things, winking at them hastily.

When the three maids left, they closed the door, leaving only one person and one ghost in the room.

Rong Li looked directly at Hua Su, his eyes were as bright as a magpie's, "When will you recover enough to return to Cangming City?"

Hua Su looked unhappy, "Cangming City is no longer something I can go back to if I want to, and it will take some time."

Rong Li nodded, after all, she was living under someone else's roof. Although Dan Xuan originally lived in this house, she couldn't get used to it. Thinking about it made her anxious, "Is it true that living people can't enter Cangming City?"

Hua Su walked towards her, stopped in front of her, and looked down at the girl sitting on the bed, "The living are not allowed to enter, as long as they are living things, entering Cangming City is a dead end. At that moment, the yang energy in the body is destined to be sucked out."

Rong Li was taken aback for a moment, she originally thought that the living people could not enter the city because of the rampant ghosts in the city, and they would be eaten to the bone when they entered, she never expected that the ghosts in the city were not the only ones who eat people, That whole city would eat people too.

She opened her mouth slightly, fine sweat emerged from her palms, a feeling of bewilderment suddenly flooded her heart, like a waterfall falling from a height of [-] zhang, making her dizzy and her thoughts confused.

Hua Su raised his hand and pointed at her eyebrows, "What are you panicking about?"

Rong Li shook his head, suddenly not knowing what to do.She raised her chin, her eyes were as if washed by the heavy rain, "The painting ghost is still in my hand, don't you want me to follow you?"

"When did I say I didn't want to." Hua Su's hand between her brows slid down and landed on her lips, lifting the corners of her downturned lips, "Why are you so listless?"

Rong Li said softly: "If living people really can't enter Cangming City, how can I follow you after you return to Cangming City?"

Hua Su smiled, "My cultivation base has not yet recovered, and it is too early to return to the city, why don't you think about it, do you have the life to live long enough for me to return to Cangming City?"

Rong Li lowered his eyes, "It sounds like you are hoping for my early death."

She paused, and said in a weak voice: "That's right, I'm about to die, if I'm gone, you can justifiably get back the painting ghost, and you don't have to bring a living dead like me who will be sick for a few days from time to time gone."

It sounds like self-defeating and lifeless.

Hua Su frowned, and really took the fox's way of showing weakness, "Didn't I teach you how to continue your life, how can I have the leisure to hope that you will die."

She said again: "Although I can't go back to Cangming City yet, there are still other methods that I can teach you, it depends on whether you are willing to learn or not."

Rong Li's pitiful expression immediately subsided, his eyelids lifted, and his eyes were very bright.

Hua Su had expected this early on, and snorted indifferently, as if he had been taken advantage of but could only swallow his anger.

Rong Li raised his hand to hook her black robe, and shook it slowly, "How to continue?"

Hua Su said: "If a person wants to live a better life, he must accumulate virtue. When the fortune is thick, the life span will be long."

Rong Li was startled, he clenched the black robe tightly in his hands, his knuckles turned white, "I have harmed the Rong family, and it may be too late to accumulate virtue."

Hua Su raised his eyebrows, with a cold expression on his face, and withdrew the hand on Rongli's lips, "That's no harm, it's just repaying a grudge with a grudge."

Rong Li didn't speak, his eyes were as moist as water.

"When are you going to find that Zhou Qinglin?" Hua Su asked instead.

Rong Li thought for a while, "I can't look for him rashly, since he remembers my mother, then find a way to let him know that I'm here."

The corner of Hua Su's mouth twitched, a half-smile.

Rong Li slightly rolled his eyes, and said softly: "I won't look for him, I have my own way to make him come to me."

Hua Su nodded, "It just so happens that I have to discuss an explanation in the Shan Mansion."

"What?" Rongli was puzzled.

Hua Su said lightly: "You still remember Dan Xuan's appearance when he left."

Rong Li shook his head, and said dully: "When she left, I was just born."

Hua Su looked at her speechlessly, and after a moment of silence, he said: "It was at the inn."

Rong Li's face suddenly became hot, "What?"

Hua Su thought for a while, then said unhurriedly: "Her soul is not complete, logically speaking, she shouldn't be able to leave such a knot in her heart after turning into a ghost."

She leaned closer, looked at Rongli and said, "I've always wondered why the painting ghost can form a bond with you. It seems that there is an explanation to be found in Shan Danxuan."
