The car suddenly stopped, and the clear tea soup in the cup of tea in the hands of the old lady sitting in the car's curtain also swayed slightly. The old lady raised her head and frowned slightly: "Why did Chen'er stop suddenly?"
A little girl wearing a billowing blue and white coat stood up on the show pier next to her and bowed Yingying: "I'll ask the second brother!" After that, without waiting for the old lady to speak, the little girl lifted the sedan curtain.
Just drilled out.
The old lady was a little helpless: "Just ask in the car, you are not allowed to go out!"
"Hey!" came the little girl's crisp reply from outside, followed by the sound of a maid holding up the wooden window panes of the sedan.
The sedan only stopped for a moment, and when the little girl put her chubby little face in front of the wooden grille, the sedan started to move forward again.
The little girl looked around the street with a pair of curious almond-shaped eyes. Everything she saw felt new, but she asked: "Second brother, grandma asked you why you stopped suddenly just now?"
The man riding on the back of the monster didn't even turn his head, and responded in a calm tone: "It seemed like he saw an acquaintance."
The little girl's eyes suddenly widened: "Who is it?"
The man's face was expressionless: "I admit my mistake."
The little girl bared her teeth and smiled: "Did the second brother fall in love with someone's pretty girl?"
The man never looked back and ordered in a deep voice: "Qinghe, put down the window pane, be careful if grandma's body catches cold."
The maid who opened the window pane for the little girl quickly bowed and answered: "Yes." After saying that, she quickly removed the support rod and closed the window pane tightly.
The little girl who looked excited just now immediately rolled her eyes to the sky. Before the window pane was completely lowered, she fiercely stuck out her tongue behind the man and muttered: "No wonder no little sister likes the second brother, only the second brother."
I will never expect a young lady to like this bad temper in my whole life!"
Qinghe smiled and put his finger on his lips: "Shh, the second master can hear me!"
When the little girl heard this, she crossed her waist and shouted loudly out the window: "I'm not afraid that the second brother will hear it. No little sister likes the second brother in the first place!"
As soon as the little girl finished shouting, she heard the old lady calling in a deep voice from behind the curtain: "Chess, don't be rude, come back quickly!"
Qinghe quickly took the little girl's hand and pulled her into the house: "Go in quickly. If you offend the second young master, he will ignore you for a few days at most. But don't offend the old lady again, you will really be punished!"
The little girl pursed her lips with an unconvinced expression, and was dragged and pulled into the Xiang curtain by Qing He.
Outside the car.
The man riding on the back of the beast could naturally hear the words that the little girl yelled just now clearly, but the man always pursed his lips slightly, his expression was calm and relaxed, and there was no trace of ripples.

Yan Yan frowned: "Are you okay? What's wrong?"
Pressing her lips tightly, Jin Lanjiao looked very ugly, her lowered eyes staring at the half-cup of cold tea on the table in front of her.
After a while, Youyou said: "The beast that just passed by was... from the Miao family."
Yan Yan opened his mouth in surprise, and then suddenly realized: "So, the man who was walking in front just now is... your fiancé?"
Jin Lanjiao licked her lips and nodded gently.
Yanyan propped her elbows on the coffee table, supported her chin with one hand, and sighed: "I met him as soon as I came back. It seems that you and the second son of the Miao family are quite destined!"
Jin Lanjiao shook her head: "It's impossible for me and Miao Jingchen."
Yan Yan glanced at Jin Lanjiao and asked, "Actually, you two are not familiar with each other, right?"
Jin Lanjiao nodded: "Although he and I are an unmarried couple, actually I don't know Miao Jingchen. He has been staying at the Miao family's old house over at Yuxue and rarely comes to Juyan Castle. He and I only live together in
We met briefly when we were getting engaged."
After Jin Lanjiao finished speaking, she was silent for a moment and said slowly: "He came to Juyan Castle this time, probably to participate in this auction."
Yan Yan blinked, looking at Jin Lanjiao's uncomfortable look, and finally couldn't bear to say anything.
She actually wanted to say: It might be because of you.
The two were chatting when the car stopped again.
The inn has arrived.
Juyanbao is divided into inner and outer cities.
There are special city walls to block it, and the inner city gate is also guarded by special city guards like the outer city gate, and the entry and exit management is stricter than that of the outer city.
Because it was already You hour when entering the city, and the inner city was closed at the beginning of You hour, the caravan could only temporarily stay in the outer city tonight.
The hotel where the caravan settled in was recommended by Niu Nenggan. The house was very spacious and the furnishings were very neat.
Since there were only two women in the caravan, Yan Yan and Jin Lanjiao, for the sake of safety, a double suite was specially reserved for them.
The hotel service in Juyanbao is very considerate. In addition to abundant hot water for meals, hot water for bathing is always available.
Yan Yan and Jin Lanjiao had just packed their things when someone knocked on the door: "Sir, please bring some clean water."
Jin Lanjiao hurried over to open the door. Yan Yan turned around and looked over, and saw a short, fat, middle-aged man with a white face and no beard walking in, followed by a round, chubby monster about the same size as him.
The monster's body is a bit like an elephant, with the same big ears, but without a long nose. There is a thin layer of armor on its back, which is not as bulging as a turtle's back, but is flat and neat, holding two steaming turtles.
Big wooden barrel.
The monster followed behind the fat man, taking slow but steady steps to bring hot water into the bathroom.
After putting the purified water, the man exited the bathroom with the monster and bowed respectfully to Yan Yan and Jin Lanjiao: "What do you two guests need? Just pull the brass bell in front of the door. The little one will
Come and serve me right away." After saying that, he went out respectfully and closed the door behind him.
Seeing the door closed, Jin Lanjiao turned back to Yan Yan and asked with a smile: "Did you see what that was just now?"
Yan Yan thought she was asking about the little monster that looked like an elephant, so she shook her head honestly: "I've never seen one that looks like a turtle or not."
Jin Lanjiao smiled and said: "The one carrying water is a bear-armored beast. I also have one at home. It is a bit clumsy but walks very slowly but is very honest and strong. It is specially raised to carry things. That's not what I asked about. I just asked about it.
The one who came in with the armored beast."
Yan Yan looked confused: "That's not a person?"
Jin Lanjiao smiled and said: "Of course not. If he were a human, why would I ask you? Didn't you see the ultimatum on his chest? It means he is a demon in human form."
Yan Yan's eyes widened: "Is that a monster? I didn't see it at all!"
Yan Yan didn't feel the demonic aura on the short, fat man at all.
Jin Lanjiao nodded: "This is the function of the ultimatum. Wearing the ultimatum can not only prove the legal identity of these monsters, but also restrain their behavior to prevent them from transforming into their original form at any time to hurt people or damage the city."
Monsters are ever-changing, some are as invisible as ants, and some are so huge that they can almost fill the entire street. If each one of them can transform into their true form at every turn, how can there be chaos in the city?
Jin Lanjiao smiled and said: "Each monster's ultimatum has its own identity written on it. The one who came in just now is a chipmunk monster."
