The Seven Heroes and Five Righteousness of Crossing

Zhao Jue was really angry this time. Not only did he ground Yuan Cuixiao in the study, but he also sent Xia Chan away who was suspected of treason, and redialed two envoys named Qiushuang and Dongxue. Two hours shift, take turns to watch her transcribe the mantra of passing away.Guessing that the two exchanged at least three or four times, Yuan Cuixiao finally finished writing the last rebirth mantra, threw the brush, tapped his head on the desk with a "boom", and then stopped moving.

Qiu Shuang, who was guarding the door, came in following the sound: "What's the matter, little lady?"

Yuan Cuixiao slowly stretched out a red and swollen finger, poking with difficulty at the mantras on the desk piled up like a hill.

Qiu Shuang took a closer look: "The little lady is very fast, she finished it so quickly."

Yuan Cuixiao asked hoarsely, "What time is it now?"

While counting the number of sheets, Qiushuang replied, "It's time."

Mother... I copied it for almost a day and a night... Yuan Cuixiao rubbed her sore shoulders and sat up: "Isn't it bad?"

"Just right." Qiu Shuang nodded and said, "The servant girls are going back to report to the prince. The young lady has time to send the transcribed mantra to the Buddhist hall for burning, and the matter will be over."

Yuan Cuixiao looked at her blankly: "Where is Xia Chan?"

Qiu Shuang left happily: "She is with the prince, and the maidservant will return her instead."

Yuan Cuixiao lay down on the desk again, wondering whether to eat first or sleep first, after a battle between heaven and man, she suddenly felt that she could neither eat nor sleep, her aunt suffered such a great crime, and there was no place for a tree hole, how could she It's not about suffocating to death... With this in mind, he helped the case get up and walked out of the house.Standing still under the pomegranate tree, just after stretching, he suddenly saw Xia Chan and Shen Zhongyuan walking in together talking and laughing, and couldn't help but cast a fierce look: "Where is your conscience...

That girl Xia Chan ignored the murderous look in her eyes, ran over in surprise and said, "Little lady, Mr. Shen has come to see you."

What are you looking at... Yuan Cuixiao glanced at Shen Zhongyuan in frustration, her face full of displeasure: her hands are empty, and she doesn't know how to bring something to eat...

Shen Zhongyuan approached and said, "Is your lady okay?"

Yuan Cuixiao stretched out his swollen right hand and shook it in front of his eyes, and said sadly: "I didn't close my eyes all night, I copied the mantra of death three hundred times, and my last meal was the night before. Do you think it's okay?"

Shen Zhongyuan lowered his eyes: "Little lady is working hard."

Yuan Cuixiao said perseveringly: "Since you think I've worked hard, Master should show something."

Shen Zhongyuan raised his eyes, and he was already calm: "How to express, young lady might as well speak up and do my best for the teacher."

Yuan Cuixiao said honestly: "I'm tired and hungry now, and I want to find a place to breathe."

Shen Zhongyuan pondered for a while and said: "The exit from the west gate is Huanhua Street. There is a Tongxing Building not far away. It is a clean and affordable place. Why don't you go there?"

Our favorite restaurant is not crowded, and the food prices are affordable. I didn't expect to meet someone today... Yuan Cuixiao looked down, and said happily: "Master, please?"

Shen Zhongyuan smiled and said, "Naturally."

Xia Chan looked worried and said, "Is this... okay?"

"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Shen Zhongyuan said softly, "Go and prepare, I'll wait for you at the west gate."

"Good! Good!" Yuan Cuixiao nodded again and again, dragged Xia Chan into the house, walked a few steps and then stopped turning back, "Master, you should bring more money, although I am thin , it’s actually quite edible.”

Shen Zhongyuan smiled and shook his head, and walked out of the garden with his hands behind his hands.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, and the market is more lively than usual.All the larger stores are lined with colorful doors and banners, waving in the wind, there are also shopkeepers walking around the streets, passers-by selling wine and flowers, bustling with each other, it is a prosperous scene.

Yuan Cuixiao wore a veiled hat, and held Xia Chan tightly, looking around all the way, feeling hot at everything she saw.I was secretly surprised: in terms of the prosperity of the world, this place is far inferior to Bianjing; in terms of dense mountains and rivers, it is also inferior to Hangzhou.After traveling all over the world for a long time, why is it that this day when I just discovered that ordinary people are so vivid...

Shen Zhongyuan stopped at a relatively low-key shop with a door building, and turned to Yuan Cuixiao beside him with a smile and said, "This is it."

A waiter had already come forward to welcome him, and sang aloud: "Master Shen is here." With a glance, he caught a glimpse of a curvaceous female guest with a veiled hat and a graceful figure behind him, and hurriedly said, "Yo, this One is Ling Zheng. Upstairs please, upstairs please."

Shen Zhongyuan coughed in embarrassment: "Stop talking nonsense."

Yuan Cuixiao had already switched to the foodie mode, and it was nothing new for her to engage in counterfeit sex, let alone the trick of being mistaken by others.Hiding under the veil, she smiled slightly and said, "It's easy to say, easy to say. Tell us about your family's signature dishes."

"Yes, yes, yes." The waiter agreed repeatedly, and while leading them upstairs, he introduced the food in the store, "Our Dangtou is best at porridge, such as Qibao porridge, five-color porridge, honey bean porridge, and crystal porridge. There are also gold and silver hibiscus cakes, jujube paste lotus leaf cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, roasted fairy peaches, vegetables and fruits, and steamed milk cakes."

Yuan Cuixiao went into the private room and sat down, took off the veil and cap, and told the waiter: "I just read it, and you can get a copy." Then she looked at Shen Zhongyuan and Xia Chan, and asked, "Have you had breakfast yet? Do you want some more?"

The two said in unison: "No, no."

The partner went there dumbfounded, and turned back after a while, setting out four plates of exquisite and appetizing fruits, namely chali sticks, lotus seed meat, pickled sweet dates, and ginger plums.

Yuan Cuixiao chewed as if no one was around, admiring for a while: "Why is it so delicious! It's much more delicious than Dianshanfang's!" and complaining for a while: "Why are there so few? It's not enough to fit between teeth."

Shen Zhongyuan closed the door of the cabinet and said: "For a discussion, can you lower your voice? This is the pre-food that comes with Yajian. It's not on time. Of course, the quantity will be small."

Good food doesn't cost money, the conscience of the industry... Yuan Cuixiao laughed happily for a while, then pushed Xia Chan and said, "Did you hear what Master said? Go outside and ask me for two copies, anyway, it doesn't cost money."

Xia Chan expressed reluctance: "Little lady, people say that food is tasteless, and there is still some porridge in the back, you have to save it, don't be overwhelmed for a while."

You girl, do you know that the words "can't eat" are the biggest insult to a foodie... Yuan Cuixiao shook her head: "If you don't move, I will ask for it myself." , the gesture is about to get up.

Xia Chan has a big head, and he and Shen Zhongyuan hurriedly guarded the door of the pavilion, one on the left and the other on the right, and said in a hurry: "Little lady, these few dishes of fruit are really nothing rare, and the carved flower honey fried by the old Sun's family in Shiziqiao is Xiangyang. The best in town."

"Really?" Yuan Cui looked expectantly at Shen Zhongyuan and said, "Master, after eating at Tongxinglou, let's go to Lao Sun's house."

Shen Zhongyuan flatly refused: "Impossible. The Lion Bridge is so far away that it cannot be done without carriages and horses."

Yuan Cuixiao rolled her eyes and came up with an idea: "Then I'll wait here, how about Master Lao?"

Shen Zhongyuan was about to evade, his gaze passed over her hand holding the chopsticks, he finally swallowed the word "no", sighed and said, "Okay."

Yuan Cuixiao was beaming with joy, clasped her fists and said, "Master is so kind. In the future, students must work harder to study their studies in order to repay the kindness of master's cultivation." The implication: you treat me to a few more good meals... …

Shen Zhongyuan turned his face away, ignored her snarky words, and told Xia Chan: "Take care of your little lady, and don't let her make any more outrageous things."

Unable to wait for Xia Chan to respond, Yuan Cuixiao smiled obsequiously: "Hehe, no, no."

Shen Zhongyuan had no choice but to leave, and when he got downstairs, he raised his head to look at the window pavilion again, and Yuan Cuixiao was also looking at him through the window frame, and when he saw him looking over, he stretched out most of his body and waved at him.Shen Zhongyuan was terrified and ran away quickly.

Master, I am optimistic about you... Yuan Cuixiao waved goodbye to Shen Zhongyuan with a smile: Hey, what are you doing so fast... She shrank back to the cabinet resentfully, and the porridge was brought up like water prices, mostly sweets, but Light and not greasy.

Under Xia Chan's gaze, which turned from surprise to admiration, and then to fear, she swallowed the last piece of steamed milk cake, burped again, and hooked her fingers at the dumbfounded little girl.

Xia Chan returned to her soul and said, "Come... come!"

Yuan Cuixiao pointed to the window: "Help me to sit over there."

Xia Chan secretly slandered: Who told you to stuff so much, you deserve to be unable to walk...

Yuan Cuixiao rinsed his mouth with tea, feeling satisfied, but also regretful: I finally had a full meal, but the fly in the ointment was that there was no meat...Looking at the window, you can have a panoramic view of the bustling street. Pedestrians with different colors and expressions gradually felt that they were a little part of it.

Suddenly heard a series of ringing bells, and a peaceful middle-aged male voice said in a drawling tone: "Master Nantian, fortune-telling and divination; talking about fate, divination is fifty dollars in silver." Yuan Cuixiao's heart was shocked, and he squinted Looking at the past, I saw a person walking in the street, with a slender figure, a white face and a slight beard, wearing a Hunyuan scarf on his head, flying cloud shoes on his feet, and a sea blue Taoist uniform, carrying a hexagram flag on his shoulders, and a stick around his waist. A copper bell dangled from the bottom of his hand.

Yuan Cuixiao had a laugh: My lord, the spirit of the fairy is still the same as before... It's just that your outdated outfit and rotten street equipment should be upgraded long ago. Could it be that Kaifeng Mansion's funds are a little tight recently?It seems that it is necessary to take care of my dear brother's business, and it is not in vain for our colleagues...

"Xia Chan, come here!" Yuan Cuixiao leaned on the window edge and waved behind her.

"What's wrong?" Xia Chan approached in confusion.

Yuan Cuixiao pointed at Gongsun Ce who was ringing the copper bell in the middle of the street, and pouted: "Here. Have you seen the Taoist priest in the blue robe? Invite him up."

Xia Chan asked vigilantly, "What is the little lady going to do?"

Yuan Cuixiao smiled ambiguously: "Of course it's fortune telling."

"No! No!" Xia Chan shook her head like a rattle.

"Why not?" Yuan Cuixiao pretended to be angry, "If you are told to go, you can go."

Xia Chan had no choice but to talk about Shen Zhongyuan: "Young lady, what did you promise Master just now, and you forgot it so quickly?"

"The matter of leaving the pavilion." Yuan Cuixiao said forcefully, "Do you see that I have taken half a step out of the pavilion? It is because I have not left the pavilion that I asked you to invite him up." Looking downstairs, Gongsun Ce had already walked over He begged for nothing, and said, "If you don't invite me, I'll call!" Immediately, he folded his hands into a trumpet and leaned halfway out of the window.

Xia Chan was also helpless, so she quickly dragged her back and said, "I'll go, I'll go."
