Xiao Mu walked to the street with two letters in his arms.
He looked left and right.
He did not set foot on the road to Anchang Mansion.
Instead, he turned around and walked towards the end of Changning Street.
At the end of Changning Street is a pawn shop.
Xiao Mu walked in, and the wind chime at the door immediately made a tinkling sound, indicating that guests were coming.
The boy standing at the counter was only a head taller than the counter.
Seeing Xiao Mu walking in empty-handed, doubts appeared in his eyes.
"Sir, do you have something to pawn?"
"Yes." Xiao Mu replied.
"Pawn for what?" the boy said, flipping the beads on the abacus.
"Pawn this." Xiao Mu took out an envelope from his arms. The envelope was red and he had just bought it at the letter writing stall.
The envelope was square and square, with the seal sealed with glue and covered with a half-bagua-like pattern.
"Sir, are you kidding me?"
The boy's eyes widened, looking at such a thing, and immediately chased people away: "We don't do letters here."
"Why don't you ask your shopkeeper?" Xiao Mu didn't move.
"That's...okay!"
The young man suddenly remembered that the shopkeeper had told him before that whenever he encountered anything with a stamp on it, he must show it to him.
"Just wait, I'll go in and ask."
After saying that, the waiter left the counter and walked into the inner room.
Xiao Mu glanced at the pawn shop casually.
The pawn shop's furnishings are old, and it looks like it's been there for some time.
However, several items displayed on the counter looked very expensive, indicating that this pawn shop was not in a bleak business.
Less than half a cup of tea later, there was a pinging sound behind the counter, and a middle-aged man with disheveled clothes and bare feet ran out from inside.
As soon as he ran out, he immediately looked outside the counter.
But the place was empty, not even a single person could be seen.
"Where are the people? Where have they gone?" the middle-aged man asked the boy beside him anxiously.
The boy was startled by the appearance of the shopkeeper and quickly replied: "I asked him to wait here, why is it gone?"
"What does that guy look like?"
Du Zisheng had just run too fast and kicked the door panel with one foot, causing blood to flow from his big toe.
But he didn't care at all at the moment, jumping on his feet and walking towards the door.
"Come and see if there are any of these people outside?"
The waiter ran out quickly.
There were not many pedestrians outside, and it was immediately obvious that the person from before was not there at all.
"The man just now was very tall, so tall." The boy stood on tiptoes and gestured on the shopkeeper's head, "There's no such thing outside."
Shopkeeper Du slapped his thigh hard and wailed: "My words are misleading! My words are misleading!"
He has stayed here for more than 20 years, from a young boy to a pawnshop owner. Today he finally saw the legendary Bagua Talisman, but he didn't even see the person who sent the letter.
It's all because today's picture book is so beautiful, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in the room and never came out.
If he had been outside just now, he would have seen the person who delivered the letter immediately.
Seeing that there was no hope of finding anyone, Du Zisheng turned around:
"That's all. On the first day of the new year, let Fifteen prepare the horses. I want to go out."
The first rule of the Taichu sect is that items with the Bagua talisman printed on them must be delivered to the designated post station within half an hour.
"Yes!" Chuyi heard the order and went to do it immediately.
Xiao Mu, who walked out of the pawn shop, had already turned out of the alley and walked to Changle Street.
He walked slowly, looking at the stalls on both sides of the road.
Seeing a seller selling rouge and gouache, he stopped and chose two boxes of light pink rouge.
When the lady selling rouge saw Xiao Mu choosing two boxes, she immediately beamed with joy: "This husband knows how to care for others. We women like these rouge and gouache the most."
"How much do two boxes cost?" Xiao Mu asked.
Old woman: "Two boxes of twenty coins!"
Xiao Mu paid the money.
The aunt wrapped the rouge and kept thinking: "This woman will never suffer anything in her life. What she wants most is for her man to remember and think about herself. A box of rouge is less than the price of a bucket of rice." , but if you buy it back, it will make a woman happy for half a year!"
Seeing that Xiao Mu didn't answer, the old woman continued:
"My husband is not very old. Is he newly married? Newlyweds have the hottest relationship. With these two boxes of rouge, you will have no problem eating meat every day in the future."
Xiao Mu still didn't say anything, picked up Rouge and turned to leave.
He took more than ten steps forward before he reacted.
What did that lady just say? Eat meat every day? Is this meat serious?
…
In Qingshan Village.
The Xiao family has prepared dinner. But no one was in the mood to eat.
Xiao Mu and others did not come back in the afternoon, so Xiao Changhe sent Xiao Song to the county seat to inquire.
Things in the Xu family were aroused, and as soon as Xiao Song opened his mouth, people started telling him what happened in the morning.
"That young master of the Xu family, he is really a fool. His father has committed such a big thing, but instead of running away quickly, he actually wants to redress his father's injustice.
Now it's better, the whole family has been arrested, neat and tidy, no one can escape. "
"Besides Young Master Xu, has anyone else been arrested?" Xiao Song asked anxiously.
"Who else?" The man was confused, "Does Shopkeeper Xu have an illegitimate child?"
"No, no!" Xiao Song mumbled.
He later asked a few more people, and everyone said the same thing.
Xu Cai and his two followers were captured.
Xiao Mu was not arrested.
With the accurate news, Xiao Song went home to deliver the letter as soon as possible.
Knowing that Xiao Mu was fine, the Xiao family was only half relieved, while the other half was still hanging in their throats.
They were all waiting for Xiao Mu to come back so they could ask what happened.
Xu Zhengxiang couldn't sit still at home, so she took a shoe sole and sat at the gate, collecting the sole while waiting for someone to come back.
As a result, before Xiao Mu came back, Li Cuihua came looking for her first.
Seeing Xu Zhengxiang's sad face, Li Cuihua pretended to be concerned and asked: "Second daughter-in-law, I heard that the young master of the Xu family who stayed at your house a few days ago seems to have had something happen to his family?"
Xu Zhengxiang ignored him.
Li Cuihua didn't care, and continued: "This rich man is not something you can get by just casually.
Don’t even think about it. If a rich man is fine, would he like your family?
Was it your daughter-in-law who kept me here back then?
I have long said that your daughter-in-law is a loser, but you still don’t believe it. What now? Are you in trouble?
I heard that the incident with the Xu family is not a trivial matter! For the people you keep, don't bother us when the time comes. "
"roll!"
Xu Zhengxiang moved her lips.
"What?" Li Cuihua didn't hear clearly.
"I said," Xu Zhengxiang shouted loudly: "Get out of here!"
"Hey you!" Li Cuihua put her hands on her hips: "I'm kindly reminding you, don't be ungrateful. Xu Zhengxiang, don't be fooled by that Sangmenxing. You have to have your family ruined to..."
Before she could say the word "sober", Xu Zhengxiang suddenly stood up, picked up the broom at the door and hit Li Cuihua on her body.
"You old shameless talkative woman, you don't need to worry about how my family is doing. You are the Sangmenxing, and you have made the Xiao family restless. I will teach my dead mother-in-law a lesson today. Teach you a lesson!"
Li Cuihua didn't pay attention and Xu Zhengxiang suddenly made a move. She turned around and ran away. In the end, she was too slow to react and was whipped twice with the broom.
"Xu Zhengxiang, you're crazy, you're crazy!" she shouted as she ran.
Xu Zhengxiang chased and beat him.
After chasing for a distance, I couldn't catch up, so I stood in the middle of the road with a broom and shouted in the direction of Li Cuihua: "Don't let me see you in the future, otherwise I will beat you every time I see you. I will tell you again, my daughter-in-law It’s a lucky star, a lucky star!”
