"This piece of cloth is good. I can make a skirt for you and Zhao Zhao."
In front of the shop, Xue Sanniang held a piece of floral cloth and gestured in front of Xu Yixiu while saying this.
"I don't care!" Xu Yixiu said dissatisfied.
But Xue Sanniang seemed not to have heard what Xu Yixiu said. She turned her head to look at the owner of the shop and handed over the cloth in her hand: "Boss, please wrap this piece of cloth as well."
The owner of the shop immediately beamed when he heard this. Xue Sanniang was considered a big customer. He had already picked five or six pieces of fabric here in the morning. He was naturally very happy and hurriedly took it and wrapped it up.
"Thank you." Xue Sanniang took the wrapped cloth, smiled and nodded towards the boss, turned around and put the cloth into Xu Yixiu's arms. At this moment, Xu Yixiu already had seven or eight pieces of this stuff in her arms. The pile of fabrics almost covered Xu Yixiu's head.
…
"I came to the Tianxuan Division to build and rebuild the Grand Division, but I didn't come to fight with you!" Xu Yixiu, who was walking on the streets of Tianxuan City with a lot of cloth in her arms, looked at the people beside her on the street with indignation. Xue Sanniang, who was shopping in the store, said in a bad tone.
Xue Sanniang's face was calm, her eyes swept across the street, and finally landed on a restaurant not far away.
"Are you hungry? Let's eat there today." Xue Sanniang said with a smile.
"I want to eat you! I don't want to waste time with you!" Xu Yixiu raised her head, glanced to the side, and said firmly.
Gugu...
But as soon as she finished speaking, her stomach made a growling sound.
…
"Let me tell you, I was not bribed by you!"
"I didn't even eat breakfast because you dragged me out shopping early in the morning. I deserve this bowl of noodles, these two chicken legs, and these tea eggs!" Xu Yixiu said at the noodle stall. While eating the food, he spoke vaguely.
Xue Sanniang looked at Xu Yixiu who was devouring her food with a smile. She did not comment on her words, but just reminded: "Eat slowly. If you don't have enough, order more."
"Autumn is coming soon. Zhao Zhao and the others don't have autumn clothes. I see that you haven't prepared any clothes. I want to buy some more fabrics today so that I can get all the autumn clothes out for you before the weather gets cooler. "
"So I took you out of the house early in the morning. The food outside tastes ordinary. When I go back in the evening, I will personally cook and make a meal to welcome you."
Xu Yixiu's eyes lit up when she heard this. She still feels good in her mouth when recalling yesterday's wonton meal.
But she didn't want to show such thoughts, but said: "Who cares about your food! It's not half as delicious as the food made by my grandpa Gu..."
After saying this, Xu Yixiu's voice became much softer.
It's not because of other reasons, just a simple guilty conscience.
Life in Jianyue City is not easy now.
Ever since Xu Yixiu can remember, Jianyue City has always been tight.
For a long time, Jianyue City was under the trusteeship of Biyun City, and many things were controlled by Biyun City. All the profitable industries in Jianyue City at that time were also destroyed due to the rebellion twelve years ago. Taken away by Prince Wu's Mansion, Jianyue City's finances cannot make ends meet every year.
In Xu Yixiu's memory, her father, the city lord of Jianyue City, spent a lot of time not teaching the disciples of Jianyue City to practice, but trying his best to re-establish industry and increase revenue and reduce expenditure for Jianyue City.
Some of the financial surplus that Jianyue City can have is either used to purchase swords and elixirs needed for disciples' practice, or used to invest in industry. Other expenditures are saved as much as possible.
For example, Xu Yixiu's clothes were bought by her father three years ago.
As for the desire of tongue, don't even think about it.
Grandpa Gu, who is in charge of the meals for the disciples in Jianyue City, pursues an even more simple and crude cooking philosophy - as long as you eat immortality, it is a qualified meal!
According to legend, this ancient grandfather was the last city lord of Jianyue City in his early years, that is, he was the personal guard of Xu Yixiu's grandfather Xu Zhiru. However, he was seriously injured in an accident, lame one leg, and broke a hand. Since then, he has been in the city. Work in the kitchen. He has high qualifications, an eccentric temperament, and he likes to drink. No younger generation dares to complain about him in person. Therefore, even Xu Yixiu, the young city lord of Jianyue City, has been tortured by his silly meals over the years.
It is precisely because of this that even though she is extremely wary of Xue Sanniang, who is the same as Chu Qingxiao, Xu Yixiu still cannot resist the temptation of those delicious meals made by Xue Sanniang.
Xue Sanniang didn't take Xu Yixiu's words to heart. She smiled and nodded without refuting. She asked instead, "I just saw that the rice cakes on the table next to me are not bad. Do you want to try them?"
Xu Yixiu glanced sideways at the rice cakes placed on the table next to her. They were white and clean, looked soft and delicious, and greatly increased their appetite.
She hesitated.
But then I thought about it, spending the enemy's money to fill my own belly is not a loss no matter how I think about it.
With these thoughts together, she was completely convinced by herself, and she no longer hesitated. She looked at Xue Sanniang and nodded heavily at that time: "Yes!"
Seeing this, Xue Sanniang also smiled.
…
Eat people with soft mouths.
After a sumptuous meal that Xu Yixiu might not be able to eat for a year, Xu Yixiu no longer had the courage to complain about Xue Sanniang and honestly helped her carry her things and followed her.
The two of them walked around the market together for a while.
Seeing that she had almost finished shopping, Xue Sanniang took Xu Yixiu home.
Just as the two of them turned into an alley, Xue Sanniang, who was walking in front, suddenly frowned and stopped.
Xu Yixiu, who was walking behind, was holding a lot of purchased cloth, and her vision was mostly blocked. She did not notice the situation in front of her. She accidentally bumped into Xue Sanniang, and the things she was holding were scattered on the ground.
"What are you doing?" Xu Yixiu asked Xue Sanniang dissatisfied. At the same time, she squatted down and thought about picking up the cloth on the ground.
But at this time, she suddenly discovered that Xue Sanniang, who was standing in front, did not respond to her dissatisfaction, but just stood motionless.
"What's wrong with you?" Xu Yixiu also noticed the strangeness and asked with a frown.
Xue Sanniang still ignored her.
Xu Yixiu felt more and more strange, and was about to ask again, but before she could speak, she suddenly heard dull footsteps coming from the front.
She immediately realized something was wrong, and didn't bother to clean up the cloth on the ground. She stood up and looked up.
In front of the alley, several figures in black clothes and masks slowly walked out. They all held long swords in their hands and had cold eyes. Looking at the murderous intent in their eyes, it was obvious that they were coming with bad intentions.
"Who are you and what are you doing?" Xu Yixiu also realized this. She stood up, held the hilt of the sword on her back, and shouted at several people.
But those people did not respond, but slowly gathered in the direction where they were. At the same time, they slowly pulled out the sword blades in their hands, and the snow-white swords reflected a dazzling cold light.
The next moment, their speed suddenly increased and they attacked straight over.
"Be careful!" Xu Yixiu saw that something was not going well, and did not care about Xue Sanniang's identity that made her unhappy. She shouted to Xue Sanniang almost subconsciously. At the same time, she unsheathed the sword on her back, raised her steps, and rushed towards Xue Sanniang. forward.
Xue Sanniang looked weak and frail. On weekdays, she only did some chores like washing and cooking in Chu Qingxiao's courtyard. In Xu Yixiu's view, Xue Sanniang was an ordinary woman with no cultivation skills. Faced with the sudden arrival of the killer, He should also be unable to fight back.
Out of such considerations, she blocked Xue Sanniang behind her and faced him with her sword.
clang!
Just hear a soft sound.
The sword in Xu Yixiu's hand collided with the blade of the leader who rushed up.
At that time, Xu Yixiu's expression suddenly changed, a little ugly.
The power from the opponent's sword was huge. As soon as they exchanged blows, Xu Yixiu felt that the hand holding the sword was numb, and the sword in her hand almost came out.
"In the territory of Tianxuan Mountain, you dare to commit murder on the street!" Xu Yixiu knew that the other party was very capable, and she might not be able to deal with it, so she could only use the name of Tianxuan Mountain at this time, hoping to make the other party avoid him.
However, the other party ignored Xu Yixiu's threat at all. The leader retreated when he saw that he was unable to stand up to the blow. At the same time, several companions around him attacked from both sides.
Xu Yixiu was shocked when she saw this, and quickly raised her sword to block the blade coming from the side. When her fists were no match for her four hands, she blocked the blade coming from one side, but another man in black came to kill him from the other side.
Xu Yixiu's expression suddenly changed. This was the first time she had walked out of Jianyue City since she could remember. In the past, in Jianyue City, although Xu Ran also attached great importance to the practical training of his disciples, after all, it was just a sparring session between fellow disciples. No matter how fierce the fight between the two sides is, each side understands that the other will not make a fatal move, so there is not much psychological burden.
But this time the opponent was obviously here to kill people and silence them. Xu Yixiu, who was inexperienced in actual combat, panicked when faced with the sudden attack of cold arrows from the side.
Although she activated her sword intent and forced the person in front of her to retreat, she also drew her sword to defend herself.
But all this was done in a panic, the sword move went wrong, but the opponent's sword was powerful and heavy.
clang!
There was another muffled sound, and Xu Yixiu's returning sword collided with the opponent.
The next moment, under the tremendous force, the sword in Xu Yixiu's hand came out of her hand and flew backwards.
Xu Yixiu's body immediately took a few steps back.
When the companions of the men in black saw this, they all stepped forward with their swords, hoping to take advantage of this opportunity to severely injure Xu Yixiu.
Xu Yixiu, who had lost her sword and was in a panic, was already in disarray. Looking at the sword blades coming from all directions, her face turned pale and she stood there blankly.
