The three cousins ​​went to the academy, and Cheng Jiuyuan accompanied Old Madam Pei for breakfast.

Cheng Jiuyuan asked, "Grandma, can I go out and play?"

"What? Bored?"

"some."

Mrs. Pei thought about it and felt that seven or eight years old is the age when girls love to play. If girls grow up a few years older, they will not be able to be so willful.

"That's fine. Bring the servant and the maid with you and come back early."

In Gusu, no one does not give face to the Pei family.

The Pei family's guards are all skilled in martial arts and are no worse than the government officers and soldiers, so the old lady is relieved.

Cheng Jiuyuan cheered, took Mu Jin and Song Lan, as well as two guards, and went out happily.

"Girl, Suzhou's sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root and cloud cake are the most famous. Would you like to try them?"

The two girls introduced Suzhou's specialties to Cheng Jiuyuan, but Cheng Jiuyuan was not very interested.

"We're not going to the market, we're going to Yunwu Mountain."

She had to chew the hard bones.

"Yunwu Mountain? Girl, this round trip will take an hour, this..."

"Nothing, let's go."

The carriage drove slowly through the streets, and gradually the voices outside the carriage became fewer and fewer, and the sounds became lonely and monotonous.

It was warm inside the car and the carriage swayed, making people drowsy.

After an unknown amount of time, the driver's voice came from outside the car: "Girl, we have arrived at Yunwu Mountain."

Cheng Jiuyuan opened his eyes and got out of the car with the help of Mu Jin and Song Lan.

"Wait for me here. If I haven't come out by 9:00 p.m., send one of you back home to tell Grandmother that I'm having lunch at Third Cousin's Master's place."

"……Yes."

Mu Jin was very suspicious. Although she had never met Senior Yan, she had heard that she didn't like outsiders. Why would she invite the girl to have a meal?

Cheng Jiuyuan walked forward alone, crossed the suspension bridge, and saw the bamboo house.

"Senior Piao... Yan?"

She almost blurted out "beautiful sister", but she stopped herself in time when she remembered that her uncle said she was older than her grandmother.

"Senior Yan?"

"anyone there?"

After calling out several times, no one answered. Cheng Jiuyuan saw that although no one was there, the door was not locked. That's right, there are formations everywhere here, who could break in?

She saw a layer of snow and some fallen leaves in the yard.

Cheng Jiuyuan picked up the broom and started cleaning.

If you want to get something, you have to pay for it.

A virtuous woman is afraid of being clingy with men, so she is a little thick-skinned and a little sweet-mouthed, and she doesn't believe that she can't become his disciple.

Just when the yard was almost swept, a figure in red quickly came over. The lightness of the figure was so dazzling that I only saw a shadow flash by and then it appeared in front of me.

"Who told you to come in alone!" Yan Guihong's voice was fierce and a little anxious.

There are formations everywhere on her mountain, and if you are not careful you will die without a burial place.

When she came back from buying books, she saw from afar a carriage and several people guarding outside. When she asked, she learned that the seven-year-old girl had come up alone.

She was so frightened that she quickly used her Qinggong skills, fearing that if she was too late, she would have no choice but to collect the girl's body.

"Senior Yan, you're back?"

"I said, who allowed you to come up here?"

"I, I want to take you as my master."

Yan Guihong looked around and saw that she was unharmed. He asked in confusion, "Did you really come up here alone?"

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded.

"You're not in danger? So many formations..."

"My third cousin took me for a walk the day before yesterday."

"You remembered it after just one time?" Yan Guihong was surprised.

Cheng Jiuyuan nodded doubtfully. Is this difficult?

Yan Guihong questioned: "Come with me."

Cheng Jiuyuan put down the broom and followed her.

When they reached the back of the bamboo house, Yan Guihong said, "Follow me."

Cheng Jiuyuan followed her footsteps, and the two walked for an incense stick of time before Yan Guihong stopped.

"Go back the same way you just did."

Cheng Jiuyuan turned around, went over the steps he had taken in his mind, and started walking towards the bamboo house.

Yan Guihong followed behind her, his expression unchanged, but the shock in his eyes grew.

This girl can really remember the steps of the magic circle after walking through it once, and she can remember it backwards without any difference.

What kind of monster is this!

Cheng Jiuyuan turned around and did not miss the surprise in Yan Guihong's eyes.

Cheng Jiuyuan was overjoyed as she was born with the ability to remember everything she saw.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to copy the Northern Qi border map that he only took a quick look at in his previous life.

"Senior Yan, are you testing me? Can I become your disciple now?"

Yan Guihong chuckled and said, "I said, I won't accept any more disciples."

It’s so troublesome to accept disciples.

She accepted Pei Jin only because she felt it was a pity that her medical skills would be lost.

Cheng Jiuyuan didn't think he could become a disciple so quickly.

She followed Yan Guihong into the house without any discouragement.

Yan Guihong put away the newly bought storybooks, picked up one, and lay on the couch to read.

Cheng Jiuyuan washed the fruits she brought from home and placed them together with the snacks within Yan Guihong's reach.

She didn't bother Yan Guihong and helped her put away the messy things in the house.

Senior Yan is good in everything, but this room is too...

However, for beauties, these flaws make them adorable.

Yan Guihong was reading the storybook, but was actually secretly observing the little girl, and picked up a piece of dessert.

This girl is much more capable than her wooden cousin.

It was almost noon, but Yan Guihong had no intention of cooking.

"Senior Yan, you don't even eat lunch?"

Yan Guihong pointed at the fruit snacks in front of him and said, "Just one bite of these will do."

Cheng Jiuyuan was speechless.

Left the room quietly.

Yan Guihong thought she had finally left, and chuckled and shook his head.

She is really a little girl, and that’s all her perseverance.

After an incense stick of time had passed, Yan Guihong heard a loud noise outside the house, jumped up and walked out of the room.

Then the little girl came back with a bundle of firewood.

"You haven't left yet?"

"I said I wanted to become your disciple, and I will never give up!"

Cheng Jiuyuan carried firewood into the kitchen and started washing rice.

"Can you cook?" Yan Guihong folded his hands and leaned against the door.

Cheng Jiuyuan paused. As a rich lady, she shouldn't know how to cook.

This is all thanks to Qi Zhen in my previous life.

"I know some simple home-cooked meals. Please wait outside. I'll be ready soon."

Yan Guihong made two "tsk tsk" sounds, making it seem like she was bullying a child.

"You don't have to do this. My mind won't change." After saying that, she staggered away.

Cheng Jiuyuan stood on a stool and fried two dishes and served two bowls of rice.

A big and a small sitting opposite each other, feeling inexplicably warm.

Cheng Jiuyuan discovered that Senior Yan didn’t want to eat, she was just lazy.

"The little girl has good skills."

After dinner, Cheng Jiuyuan washed the dishes without complaint and took some fruits to the yard.

She placed the fruits in front of a small squirrel the size of a palm. The squirrel had a pair of small round ears on its head, a pair of small green bean-like eyes that were black and bright, a small pink nose, and a very fluffy tail.

She saw a figure behind her. Cheng Jiuyuan stroked the squirrel's furry tail and said, "Eat your meal, and I'll tell you a story."

"It is said that in the East Market of Chang'an, there was a young scholar named Li Xuan. Although he was born in poverty, he was extremely talented. His favorite place to go was the teahouse. A pot of tea and a book were enough for him to while away his time."

"And opposite the teahouse, there is an embroidery workshop..."

"However, fate played a joke on this pair of lovers. Li Xuan's father was seriously ill. In order to treat his father, Li Xuan had to marry a daughter from outside the hospital..."

Having said this, Cheng Jiuyuan deliberately paused.

After waiting for a long time, she still didn't speak, and the person behind her couldn't help but ask: "And then?"

Cheng Jiuyuan curled her lips. She knew that Senior Yan liked to read stories about talented men and beautiful women, and the more melodramatic the stories, the better he liked them.

Cheng Jiuyuan continued to tell the story with great emotion.

She guaranteed that Senior Yan would not be able to buy a more ridiculous storybook than this one, as these stories about talented men and beautiful women were only published in later generations.

Cheng Jiuyuan stayed in Yunwu Mountain until dusk before going down the mountain.

For several days in a row, Cheng Jiuyuan set out for Yunwu Mountain early in the morning, bringing fresh fruits and snacks. Then he tidied the house, cooked, told stories to the little squirrel and Yan Guihong, and went down the mountain in the evening.

When Mrs. Pei found out that she was going to Yunwu Mountain, she didn't stop her anymore.

Five or six days passed like this, and it was County Magistrate Weng's birthday.
