093 Encountering a bosom friend in ancient times

Xiao Cui took Zhu Bajie Candy from Ouyang Xinyu, and licked the thick layer of wheat tooth candy on the candy in a few strokes, revealing a small piece of paper rolled out of oil paper.

Xiao Cui immediately took out a small note from her mouth and spread it out for Ouyang Xinyu to see. She saw the three big words "Qingfengzhai" written on it.

"Xiao Cui, take it to the desk and burn it!" After reading the note, Ouyang Xinyu ordered Xiao Cui.

"Oh, okay, lady!" Xiao Cui took the note and immediately walked to Ouyang Xinyu's usual calligraphy desk, lit the lamp on the desk, and turned the note into ashes.

"'Qingfeng Village'? What does this mean?" Ouyang Xinyu sat next to the round table in the room and was puzzled. She held her head and racked her brains to think, what do the three words written by the old man who pinched the candy man mean?

"Miss, this old man is too fond of his words! He can't write a few more words? What do these words mean?" After burning the notes, Xiao Cui returned to Ouyang Xinyu and muttered to her and asked.

"The old man wrote 'Qingfengzhai', I don't know what this means! Is it the old man's name?" Ouyang Xinyu replied in confusion. He was afraid that the note would unfortunately fall into the hands of others, so the old man who pinched the candy man was careful. He wrote these three words in modern simplified Chinese, and it was very sloppy. Xiao Cuiyatou, who was used to seeing ancient characters, certainly couldn't understand it.

"No! There is no one in this radius of hundreds of miles, where is the surname "Qing"?" Xiao Cuiya replied to Ouyang Xinyu in confusion.

"Then, could it be a place name?" Ouyang Xinyu asked Xiao Cui with a sudden thought.

"Oh, I remembered it!" Suddenly, Xiao Cui shouted excitedly.

"Xiao Cui, what have you remembered? Tell me quickly!" Ouyang Xinyu urged Xiao Cui and asked.

"Miss Xinyu, I remember the cliff where our Miss Wan'er fell!" Xiao Cui replied.

"At this time, what do you want to do with a cliff? Come and think about the meaning of these words for me!" I thought she thought of something useful, but who knew that she thought of a cliff again, Ouyang Xinyu said disappointedly.

"There is a copycat nearby where Miss Wan'er fell!" Xiao Cui said the point she wanted to say.

"What do you mean is that these few words may be a copycat name, and the name of this copycat is called 'Qingfeng Village'?" Xiao Cui finally reached the point, and Ouyang Xinyu asked as she said.

"But, that old man is a gangster. What does he have to do with the copycat? Could it be that he lives in the copycat?" Before Xiao Cui could answer, Ouyang Xinyu immediately overturned what she said before, and she said to herself.

"Miss, it makes sense that you say this. Since the old man lives in the village, he is uncomfortable and enjoys his happiness in the village. It's so hard to go around the world when he coughs dryly!" Xiao Cui said in a daze after being reminded by Ouyang Xinyu.

"Xiao Cui, I thought of it!" Suddenly, Ouyang Xinyu slapped the table with his hand and said excitedly.

"Miss, what did you say?" Xiao Cui was startled by Ouyang Xinyu's actions and did not react for a moment. She asked Ouyang Xinyu.

"The old man deliberately used simplified Chinese characters that only we modern people know. Didn't he tell me that he also came from our modern times?" Ouyang Xinyu said to Xiao Cui excitedly.

"Yes, why didn't I expect it?" After hearing Miss Xinyu's words, Xiao Cui jumped up with joy, and she said loudly with excitement.

"If I say this, it would be impossible for the old man to have something to do with the counterfeit!" Ouyang Xinyu became more and more excited as he spoke, and analyzed to Xiao Cui in a sensible way.

"Miss, after hearing what you said, I remembered something!"

"What's the matter? Tell me quickly?"

"But, I just guessed, and I don't know if I guessed it right! It was the day when our lady fell from the cliff, an old man was singing a song in the mountains. His voice was exactly the same as the old man who was the candy man who came to the mansion today!"

"Really? What did that old man sing at that time? Do you still remember clearly Xiao Cui?"

"The sound was only visible from time to time. I didn't hear it very clearly. It seemed like I was rushing to the road and was walking up the mountain. I sang while walking. At that time, I was anxious when I saw the lady falling down, so I didn't pay much attention to what he was singing. But I remembered the sound very clearly!"

"I was wondering before that although we traveled here from modern times, we did not have special abilities. Why would the old man appear at the temple fair and find Shangguanfu? Perhaps, on the day your lady had an accident, the old man happened to meet and see something. Or, he was not a candy man at all, but just to find me, he deliberately learned the job of "Cattle Man!"

"Miss, although what you said makes sense, I think you seem to be telling a story. I think this matter should not be as coincidental as you said!"

"Xiao Cui, if it were the case before, I wouldn't believe these plots. Because I know that such a coincidence only appears in TV series and novels! However, since I traveled from modern times to your dynasty, I have to change my worldview! Now, I have to force myself to believe everything!"

"Miss, it makes sense for you to say this. Why don't we follow what you speculate and pursue it in this direction, and maybe we can really discover and gain something!"

"Yes, Xiao Cui, I think so too! Even if my speculation is wrong, I would rather believe it wrongly and not live in this world without any hope, so I will really not be able to hold on!"

"Miss, I believe your speculation should be correct!"

"Well, then let's start with this 'Qingfeng Village'! The most important thing I have now is to find opportunities to get out so as to inquire about the whereabouts of 'Qingfeng Village'! I know that although it's difficult to get out now, we must give it a try!"

"Yes, Miss, now the butler has started to focus on us. It may be even more difficult to go out secretly!"

"I'm not afraid of the butler. I'm the daughter of Shangguan's family. What can he do to me? But you, when I'm not by your side, you have to be more careful!"

"I understand, Miss! I think, if I have nothing else to do in the future, it's better not to leave you, otherwise the housekeeper will cause trouble for me again!"

"I don't understand why this butler dislikes you so much? Have you offended him in something?"

"Oh, it's not because of you!"

"Because of me? When did it happen? Why didn't I know? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Oh, no, it's because of our Miss Wan'er's business! It was the time when our Miss fell off the cliff, and the housekeeper settled the account on me. He thought I was not good at protecting the Lord, and he still held a grudge against me!"

"Then, am I standing in front of him now? Why does he hold a grudge against you? You said, wouldn't he see that I'm not your lady?"

"This won't happen. Since the lady's accident, the housekeeper has decided that I am a girl who is a big and young and likes to make trouble! He feels that the little family is encouraged by me to climb the cliff and pick Ganoderma lucidum. He is worried that I will harm you, Miss!"

"Then why didn't he change you after your lady's accident?"

"At that time, the housekeeper almost sold me to a kiln. That day someone sent a message saying that he saw you on the grass in the suburbs. Later, it was the love the master and his wife who told me about me, so I was able to continue to stay with you."

"So that's the case. It seems that this housekeeper is loyal to the Shangguan Mansion!"

"Yes, so he is the hardest person in Shangguan's house to deal with! The difficulty lies in his being too loyal to the master, so he is particularly caring for Miss Wan'er!"

"In theory, this should have been a good thing! But now, it has become a bad thing for us! Xiao Cui, why do you think this fate loves to tease people so much?"
