Lou Xiliu jumped off the horse first. Looking around, he saw the tiled roof in the woods dozens of steps away.
She jumped down at the same time, pulled the fur scarf on her face and gasped: "By the way, you saw that Gu Yushi today, right?"
"I saw it." When Lou Xiliu thought of this, he glanced at Cao Xiwan, took Cao Xiwan's horse, and walked into the forest together in the snow. Xiliu really didn't know how Qing Niang wanted to settle this matter.
Son. That Gu Yushi seems to be difficult to deal with.
Cao Xiwan took her and Xiliu's leather parcels from the horse's back and carried them on her back. She also smiled: "I also made an appointment with Huisong today." She sighed sadly, "Huisi doesn't pay much attention to her recently.
I should be doubting us."
"..." Lou Xiliu was stunned. She hadn't said a word to Gu Yushi yet, okay? This would be exposed!
It's over when the gray thorns arrive!
Xiliu is not a fool. She really wants to get the second volume of "Biying Xinfa" after she is ready. At least she can copy the puppet formation.
She is not a young lady, she has not saved the Marquis many times, and she has no real relationship with the Marquis.
If she wants to leave the Hou Mansion, she can only get the puppet array that the Marquis wants. Otherwise, even if the wife agrees, the Marquis will not let her leave the Marquis alive.
For Qing Niangzi, the second volume of "Biying Xinfa" is the icing on the cake.
The thin willow trees in her building are life-saving straws.
"Hahaha, it's fun. Don't worry, I'm here." Cao Xiwan clasped her hands and chuckled, while Lou Xiliu looked at her worriedly.
Qing Niangzi really only regarded this as an interesting game, she was bored.
Arriving in front of the Tutu Temple, Eunuch Lou tied up his horse and came over to take a look. The place was really small.
The house is made of black tiles and yellow bricks, with the front and back rooms connected.
At present, heavy snow is pressing down on the roof, and only the shiny black tile edges are exposed. It turns out that this black tile roof is the one she paid for to be replaced.
The mottled wooden door creaked open, and an old Taoist Taoist priest with a red face came over to greet him.
Eunuch Lou squinted his eyes and took a look. He saw that the old Taoist man was wearing a large cotton-padded jacket made of clean blue cloth, with a white sash tied around his waist to express mourning.
There is a statue of the earth god on the sacred table. It is only two feet high.
"Daddy, has it been repainted?" she asked with a smile as she untied her cloak.
"It's on, it's on. Thank you madam for the incense money. This winter, our father-in-law can have enough food and clothing."
The Taoist Pyrotechnician received her money and cleaned up the four huts early, hung up several pairs of curtains and tidied up the four huts.
Eunuch Lou was afraid that she had never served in the palace before, and since the Taoist Taoist priest was from the countryside, he would inevitably make mistakes.
He walked slowly and took a closer look, and raised his hand to touch the barrier. One side was made of snow-white linen and the other was green cloth. The barrier was double-layered hanging down from the roof.
The front and rear big houses were divided into four rooms with this barrier, and the doors and windows were hung with thick reed mats to block the wind and let in light.
Eunuch Lou opened the curtain and walked in, his whole body warmed up: "Is there a fire in every room?"
"It's all there. Don't worry."
That's all. What surprised Eunuch Lou the most was that in each hut, apart from the earthenware pot for the fire and the tea stove with hot water, the other buckets, basins, shelves, back chairs and tables were all the same. There was also a semi-old mahogany short couch on the floor.
Old fur.
Every piece of furniture has the seal of the palace treasury on it.
Just put a palace treasury mark on the seal, indicating that the inner treasury was selling used goods.
"This...how is this done?" He was pleasantly surprised.
Cao Xiwan smiled: "It's easy, I have a way." As he spoke, he took off his cloak and patted the snow. Lou Xiliu quickly took it and put it on the fire to roast. Xiliu understood clearly that she should accompany Qing Niangzi as a companion.
Son.
Qing Niangzi can seal Xiaochu and take her to the building Xiliu. She can also save monthly money and live with Qing Niangzi. As long as Qing Niangzi is around, she will be hers. In the future, Qing Niangzi will take care of her in her old age.
Lou Xiliu thought that she might not be as long-lived as Qing Niang Niang. She took pills to practice. She didn't have Qing Niang Niang's drive to live longer otherwise she would suffer too much.
Following Qing Niangzi, she doesn't have to worry about having no pills.
Now that these thoughts are settled, let's see if she, Lou Xiliu, can have the fate to compete for the position of the master of Biying Palace in this life.
Cao Xiwan rubbed his hands and talked to Eunuch Lou: "I recognize these old furniture that were exchanged. They were sold by the criminal officials who ransacked their homes and used them as money for the inner treasury. It's not rude."
She quietly winked at Eunuch Lou, "Actually, it wasn't put into the warehouse, it was just a show. They got the hard-earned money from confiscating the house. It was piled in a warehouse at the pier in Shangyuan County, Fuguo. I went to pick up the ones I bought."
"Oh, who else but Madam Cao can handle such a thing well?" Superintendent Lou happily touched the furniture. They were all made of good wood and of good style. They were items that had been in the inner treasury, so no one could make a mistake.
She smiled and said, "It's also for Eunuch Lou."
"This - how good is this!" He was overjoyed. Lady Cao was clearly hinting that she had found the place and that Eunuch Lou would be responsible for handling the goods in the inner treasury, so that he could benefit from it.
"That's it, Madam Cao, look at it. I, Xiao Lou, am also a very particular person. Madam Qing, write me a list. There is no reason for Madam Qing to spend this money to fill in the affairs of the palace."
Cao Xiwan was also satisfied. Eunuch Lou would be able to help write off the money she spent in the palace if she got the credit. She should be able to earn a little more.
Shangyuan and Jiangning counties are Guo counties attached to the capital city. She went to the Shangyuan County wharf outside the city to pick up things. The owners of the goods were all from Jinyi Yamen. I heard that she came to buy them, half selling them and half giving them away.
She and Eunuch Lou looked at each other and smiled.
She was still settling accounts in her mind. She needed to treat Feng Xiaochu's illness and raise slender willows. Moreover, she also found out about Zhao's mother in Prince Zhao's camp on the edge of the Yangtze River at the dock.
She had to ask Liu Ruhai about this matter.
Liu Ruhai is a sharp-sighted guy. After treating Feng Xiaochu's illness for a while, he asked Father Lu to send a message to her and ask her, "Is Miss Xiao Chu quite qualified?"
The words were unclear and others could not understand them. But she could understand them.
She was actually very familiar with Feng Xiaochu many years ago, because in the eyes of young Cao Xiwan, Feng Xiaochu was one of the most qualified people to practice the Nine Transformations of the Netherworld.
She thought her final opponent might be Feng Xiaochu.
Maybe if she didn't mention Xiao Chu to the Marquis, she wouldn't be caught and made a puppet. She knew that Feng Xiao Chu was not the only puppet. She even asked Liancheng to check Feng Xiao Chu's case file and it turned out that it was really a capital crime. But sometimes it still happens Can't help but think so.
"Thin willow."
"What?" Lou Xiliu quickly turned around.
"You are different from Xiao Chu."
"?"
Cao Xiwan thought for a while: "You are too strong. So you are in a hurry to take the elixir and practice. You should take it slow. Xiao Chu is..."
Feng Xiaochu may have never truly understood that having the opportunity to practice the Nine Transformations of the Netherworld and learn a skill close to her was an opportunity that a helpless woman like her could only encounter once in her life.
She is still just a child, she just wants to have a family and a father who protects her.
She doesn't want to leave home.
She would rather not have any skills. Otherwise, with her qualifications, she would not fail at the fourth level.
The way to practice cultivation is to cultivate your mind first.
