The person being questioned did not rush to answer. He ordered the tea in front of him and pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "They are so blatant. If something happens, wouldn't we just bring it on ourselves? Don't worry,

Let’s see what they want to do first.”

Another person said: "What else can be done? They must have noticed us, otherwise, how could they send someone here!"

The man chuckled lightly and shook his head: "So what if he notices it? It's not like he just noticed it now. Don't worry, our people have been watching them. If the man named Fu really intends to take action, the ones sent will not be just

These people. Right now, our most important thing is to find the artifact, isn't it?"

Although the last three words were light, for some reason, the other person's body froze immediately after hearing it, and then he lowered his head respectfully and stopped retorting: "Yes, you are right!"

Time seemed to freeze for a moment, but after a moment, another person suddenly asked the person: "By the way, where is King Xiao? Have you been out recently?"

The other person continued to lower his head and replied: "No, the weather has not been very good recently, and Xiao Wang has been staying in the attic." After a pause, the man added, "Xiao Wang is just a puppet. Now he only has you as his elder. I guess he will

Will be obedient!"

"Really?" the man murmured, and then he didn't know whether he was talking to another person or to himself, "I don't know what that kid does tinkering with those things all day long?"

It's hard to fault Kong Jing's hospitality to Shen Anhe and his wife. Shen Anhe has now begun to compile his annals. Kong Jing took the initiative to lend out his men to help Shen Anhe reorganize his annals. As for those who were sent out,

For the honor guard, he arranged for local people to lead each team.

As for Sheng Xi, Mrs. Kong invited Sheng Xi to a gathering here on the second day in a garden called Chun Tang. In addition to Mrs. Kong, there were also the female dependents of many high-ranking families in Dingyang.

Sheng Xi did not refuse, knowing that this was the so-called lady diplomacy. After receiving the post from Mrs. Kong, she packed it up the next day and went straight away.

The Spring Hall is as its name suggests. The whole garden is filled with flowers in full bloom. They are so colorful that it is really overwhelming. In addition to flowers, there are also flowing water, winding around the entire Spring Hall, coming from the east and going to the west.

It's as far as the eye can see.

"Mrs. Shen must be surprised why this garden is so big, right? In fact, it's not just this garden, there are many gardens in this city like this." Mrs. Kong led Sheng Xi forward and explained with a smile as she walked.

, "This is also because the southern border is vast and sparsely populated. Han people mostly live in counties, while Miao people mostly live in tribes. Unless they buy daily necessities, they rarely leave their villages. Of course, there are also Miao girls who marry Han people, but

After all, there are not many. As for the number of Han men who join Miao villages, there are naturally fewer, but it is not impossible."

Mrs. Kong probably did too many diplomatic things like this, or maybe she was such a talkative person by nature, so she told Sheng Xi a lot about southern Xinjiang along the way.

After traveling for about two cups of tea, they finally arrived at the Minghua Pavilion, the meeting place of Spring Hall.

Just like the name of Spring Hall, Minghua Pavilion also has its own meaning in every word. It is a favorite gathering place for women to drink tea and chat.

When they came over, other ladies and ladies had already arrived and were chattering non-stop. Someone suddenly shouted "Here we come", and there was a sudden silence in the pavilion. Everyone's eyes turned around, and they saw Zheng Tong at a glance.

The girl who came with Mrs. Kong.

I saw that the girl was no more than sixteen or seventeen years old, with beautiful eyes like a fairy, a slender waist, weak and boneless, and an orchid-like temperament. She seemed to be like light clouds hiding from the sun, and fluttering like snow in the flowing wind. She was pure and beautiful. There is a faint sense of heroism in the middle, and the garden is full of flowers. It is really more beautiful than flowers. Older women can't help but raise their eyebrows when they see it. Girls of the same age who see it are not only envious, but also feel jealous in their hearts. people.

Those who look at the scenery also look at the scenery.

Sheng Xi's eyes quickly glanced at the woman in the pavilion, her eyes narrowed slightly, but when she raised them again, she smiled in response.

"Oh, everyone, come on, come on! Let me introduce to you, this is the wife of Mr. Shen, our envoy to the capital appointed by the emperor this time..."

Mrs. Kong was both the organizer and the middleman, and she quickly introduced Sheng Xi to everyone.

Although some of these people are jealous of Sheng Xi's beauty, given their status, they cannot use the tricks they usually use to deal with their sisters, at least for now.

Moreover, Shen Anhe came to represent the emperor this time. As his wife, he must serve him well. If the wind blows from the pillow, his master may be beaten. So, when we meet for the first time, Everyone is extremely kind.

Women have endless topics to talk about, and they are also the fastest and most complex group to spread information. Although Sheng Xi is talkative, she doesn't really like this kind of communication, so she simply lists all the questions she wants to know today. Brought them all out.

"It's a miracle medicine. My ancestor once used one pill. That pill lasted for three years. It gave my ancestor who was diagnosed with only one year to live an extra two years! That's right, tsk tsk!" said the speaker. She is a woman named Gao. Her family is a large merchant in Dingyang. More than half of the silk and satin shops in Dingyang Prefecture belong to the Gao family.

Sheng Xi listened to Mrs. Gao talking about the magic medicine with a sigh on her face, and asked her: "Why does Madam look so emotional about this magic medicine?"

Mrs. Gao sighed and said: "Since the miracle medicine is a miracle medicine, the price must go up to heaven. Back then, my family almost went bankrupt for that miracle medicine. Fortunately, things got better later." Gao paused for a moment. He seemed to realize that his attitude was wrong, and hurriedly added, "But for my elders, it is worth spending any amount of money!"

Sheng Xi nodded obediently: "Madam, you are very righteous."

When Mrs. Gao heard Sheng Xi's praise, she couldn't help but feel proud, and continued with a smile: "But the reason why this miracle medicine is called a miracle medicine is that in addition to its high price, its quantity is also small. My ancestors waited a long time for that one. It’s been a year!”

"Is it so precious?" Sheng Xi seemed surprised, "May I ask what diseases this magical medicine can cure?"

Mrs. Gao replied to her and said: "There are so many diseases that can be cured! From serious ones like my ancestor's that can hang his life, to minor ones that are painful and itchy on the body, just one magic medicine can guarantee that all diseases will be gone! In short, , that is, as long as it is a disease, the magic medicine can cure it!"

Sheng Xi nodded seriously and responded in his heart: "I wonder who the big liar came up with such a magical medicine, and it has not been exposed for so many years."

When others heard what Mr. Gao said, some were moved, some were distressed. Everyone wanted such a miracle medicine, but not everyone was as wealthy as the Gao family.
