On the second day after the battle with the flower demon, Xu Qing dragged Wen Jifeng out of the mansion, along with Chun Ru.

"Brother, what are you doing here?" Wen Jifeng was puzzled, they were standing in front of a cloth village in Ling'an City, and Xu Qing looked inside with great interest.He held the oil-paper umbrella that was as pure as shelter in front of him, and just said something furtively.

"Junior brother, did you forget that last night, Master Hui'an invited fellow Taoist Chunru to gather in the back garden tonight?" Xu Qing turned her head and asked.

Of course Wen Jifeng remembered that when Hui An was dealing with the Flower Demon last night, he was slightly injured. When Ke Meng bandaged him for diagnosis and treatment, Hui An said it in front of everyone.But what does this have to do with their travel today?

Xu Qing smiled without saying a word, and led her junior into the cloth village.

This cloth shop not only has uncut fabrics, but also some ready-made clothes, which are convenient for those who are in urgent need to buy.Hearing that the two brothers and sisters wanted to buy ready-made clothes, the recruiter laughed so hard that the clothes used less material, but the price was more expensive than the same cloth.It's just that the two people who came here were both men, but they wanted to buy a set of clothes from their daughter's house, which made Xiao Er feel a little suspicious.

There are quite a lot of ready-made clothes in the cloth shop, Xu Qing picked out a skirt with blue background and white flowers and asked: "Junior brother, what do you think of this one?"

Wen Jifeng shook his head, except for the different patterns and styles, this dress looks no different from Chunru's Taoist robe.Xu Qing has been with him for so many years, she can guess his thoughts without needing to tell her.He said earnestly: "Junior brother, even if there is only one thread missing, it is two different clothes to my daughter's family. You still don't understand."

Wen Jifeng asked back: "Brother is very clear?"

Xu Qing laughed twice, touched the tip of his nose: "I don't really understand."

Xu Qing looked inside, and took another set of lotus-colored jacket and skirt: "This one?"

Wen Jifeng shook his head: "Bloated."

Xu Qing frowned and pulled out a set of curvy deep clothes: "What about this set?"

Wen Jifeng also frowned: "It's not as good as the first one."

Xu Qing: "..."

He picked out all the ready-made clothes in the whole cloth shop, and only picked out one that could win Wen Jifeng's favor.It's just that the clothes are a set of cyan Taoist robes, which are very similar to the disciple's clothes in their view.

Xu Qing sighed and lost his mind, just as he was about to take his junior brother to the next cloth shop, he saw a woman coming in from the door.Nothing else, but seeing that she was still carrying a big burden in her hand, Xu Qing stopped in her tracks.He had an intuition that maybe the clothes in this bag were the clothes they wanted to pick.

The two brothers didn't look at other styles anymore, they just stood in the store and didn't leave, and the staff couldn't drive them away, so they could only receive the woman first.

Listening to their back-and-forth conversations, the two realized that this woman was the maid of a wealthy family in Ling'an City.The old lady in the family is about to reach her [-]th birthday, and the young lady made a new dress in this cloth shop to celebrate her birthday, but the style and size of the clothes did not meet the young lady's liking.

"Well, the size doesn't meet the lady's liking. It's from our cloth shop. But the color of this style is all according to the lady's preference, according to the pattern, and the fabric is also chosen by the lady herself. What's the matter now..." The waiter apologized, But he is also unwilling to easily take the fault that is not his own.

The servant girl said proudly: "The material our young lady chose is obviously concubine-colored, but the dress you made is begonia red, why is it not yours?"

The guy's scalp was numb, and he had no choice but to invite the shopkeeper out.The mansion where this servant girl lives is also a very prestigious family in Ling'an City, and the shopkeeper didn't want to offend them with just such a set of clothes, so he had no choice but to accept the clothes and return the money back with a gift.

I just paid back the money, but I don't know what to do with the clothes.

"The color of begonia red is too eye-catching. The small households will definitely not want to buy it, and those big households will definitely not be returned. Such a good material is really worrying." The shopkeeper said brokenly.

"Shopkeeper, why don't you show us?" The senior brother hadn't spoken a word all this time, listening to the shopkeeper's distressed chanting, Xu Qing suddenly said this.

After an hour of incense sticks, the two brothers and sisters came out of the cloth village contentedly.

"Do we have to do something later?" Wen Jifeng asked.

Xu Qing looked at the sun, thought for a while and said: "Let's go back first, I'll discuss something with Chen Yu."

But one day, Chen Mansion has become much deserted.Many of the servants in Chen's mansion are elves bound by the flower demon. Now that the flower demon is dead, Xu Qing and Hui An are there, and the trees fall and the monkeys scatter.Chen Mansion suddenly became much cleaner.

When Xu Qing and the others found Chen Yu's room, Chen Jiu was feeding him medicine.Before she died, the flower demon did a good thing. With her spiritual power, she cut off the connection between Chen Yu and the Luoyang brocade, which was the only confession she made to Chen Yu's son.The brocade of Luoyang withered, but Chen Yu was still alive.

"The Taoist priest wants to borrow a face?" Chen Yu was seriously injured, and she looked pretty good, but she couldn't get up.

Xu Qing smiled and said: "You also saw it last night, pure as fellow Taoist, he wanted to see Master Hui An. The Taoist sects in the world are one family, so we are still seniors, sisters and brothers, so we have to show some affection."

Chen Yu understood, and said with a smile: "In that case, I'll call the housekeeper later and send a few sets to your residence."

Chen Jiu came in after finishing the medicine bowl, and heard Chen Yu's voice saying, "I happen to be free, so I'll just take the two priests there."

Chen Yu nodded: "That's fine, then I'll trouble my brother."

Xu Qing and the two followed Chen Jiu to Mrs. Chen's room. Since last night, the sheriff Chen has locked herself in the study, so there is no need to worry about disturbing him.

"What do you think about Second Young Master Chen, Young Master Chen?" Xu Qing asked with a smile.

Chen Jiu, who was walking in front of them, paused slightly.Last night, Chongming Niao returned to his lost soul, and since he regained his sanity, he has been taking care of Chen Yu.I don't know if I really forgave my brother, or if I was too busy to think about it.

Chen Jiu stopped, pondered for a moment and said: "To be honest, I knew that Chen Yu's mother was not human very early on."

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, quite surprised: "Oh?"

Chen Jiu nodded, and his eyes fell on the flower pond outside the corridor. There were several koi in the pond, playing leisurely in the pond.

Chen Jiu is five years older than Chen Yu, and he was just a weaned toddler when the flower demon entered Chen's residence.Others thought that he could not remember the memory of his mother at all, but he still had a vague impression of his childhood.He remembered that his biological mother was a gentle and virtuous lady, and the flower demon was just a maid of his father when he entered the mansion.

Chen Jiu didn't know how the flower demon killed his mother and confused his father.Not long after Hua Yao married her father, they moved their family to Ling'an County.

After they came to Ling'an County, the people around them gradually changed. Many people thought that the flower demon was their mother's younger sister.It wasn't until even his father felt that way that Chen Jiu realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the entire Chen family.

Everyone has become accustomed to the ubiquitous fragrance of flowers in the mansion; his father had a promising future, but he suddenly received an order from the emperor and sent them to Ling'an County for no reason. But with his political achievements, he has been unable to be promoted, and the Chen family in the capital seems to have forgotten that there is such a family as Chen Yan.

There is also the stepmother in front of Chen Jiu, who increasingly resembles the person in the painting in which his father mourns his mother.

Chen Jiu is no longer an ignorant and ignorant child, and he also faintly feels that this stepmother is the instigator of these strange situations.On the one hand, he endured it, pretending that he didn't know anything, on the other hand, he secretly sent a letter to the capital to verify some things of the year, so as not to startle the snake.

"Three months ago, I got a reply from my grandfather in Beijing. He hadn't taken care of my father all year round. He felt very guilty as if he had just woken up from a dream. In his letter, he asked me if my father felt resentful and wanted to go back to the capital." Chen Chen Jiu said, "Before I had time to reply to the letter, I was sent by my father to deal with the flood. Before I came back, I had a dream."

Wen Jifeng asked, "What dream?"

Chen Jiu's voice was deep and deep: "I dreamed of my biological mother." Chen Jiu's biological mother is Yuan Jiang in the mouth of the flower demon. He said, be careful of Mrs. Chen and his stepmother.In the dream, Chen Jiu repeatedly asked her what happened, but her mother just shook her head and wept.Then he disappeared into the dream with a painful expression on his face.

Xu Qing said: "It seems that your mother's soul was captured by the flower demon, and she didn't enter reincarnation until three months ago." Xu Qing said with reservations, maybe Yuan Jiang didn't enter reincarnation, but was scattered by the flower demon .

Chen Jiu smiled wryly: "The two of you should know the outline of what happened next. On the way back, I was set up by my stepmother, but God blessed me. I just fell down the roadside valley and was rescued by the villagers of Bishui Village. It's just a flower demon. After casting spells on those earth and rocks, my remnant soul turned into a bird and stayed beside Chen Yu."

Xu Qing felt strange: "Why not by your father's side?"

Wen Jifeng said: "With the cultivation level of the flower demon, if he saw the Chongming bird transformed by Mr. Chen, he would definitely be put to death."

Chen Jiu nodded: "She hasn't cared about Chen Yu for a long time, so I was saved. I don't know whether it's a blessing or a misfortune." It is a good thing for him to escape, but the flower demon has been looking at Chen Yu for so many years. If there is nothing, it makes Chen Jiu feel a little distressed for no reason.

"He has been with me since he was a child, and I have always regarded him as my own brother. These days, I have devoured his nightmares every day, and I have also seen the guilt and pain in his heart. It is just that he has helped me during this period. I will treat him as my brother for the rest of my life." Chen Jiu said with certainty.Since no one in the family treats him sincerely, Chen Jiu will be the first one, whether it is his father or elder brother, to do his best to keep Chen Yu happy for the rest of his life.
