Time Travel Adventure

What? The two of them became impatient and sat in the pavilion in the yard to talk.

"Isn't this your manuscript?" Nannan didn't know what came out of her mouth, and I was so scared that I almost fell down.

"Can you let me know in advance next time you go out? You almost scared me to death!" I slapped Nannan on the head.

"When it was squirming like a maggot, I came. I didn't dare to call you because I was afraid that you would lose face." Nannan told me indifferently while chewing the fruit in her mouth.

Speaking of maggots, when thinking about my state just now, my face turned red and I turned my head away, "Remember to inform me in advance next time."

"Don't go over there, they're all about to go in!" Nannan pulled my hand impatiently and told me what was happening between the two people.

The woman had already coaxed the man into a frenzy, and even kissed her on the face, "Oh, you are so shameless."

He clicked his tongue and complained, "You are too presumptuous. They are kissing in their own home, why aren't you ashamed?"

"Okay, okay, okay, what are they saying? I can't hear clearly." The two of them were very close to each other after kissing, and I couldn't hear anything at all.

"It has nothing to do with what you want to know, bah."

"How do you know, ugh."

"I heard you, duh."

"What are you talking about, bah."

"I'm going to sleep, ugh."

"Why are you sleeping? Pfft."

"They're going to bed, duh."

. . . . . .

We kept complaining to each other, saying something and eating some fruit. Before we finished talking, the best bunch of fruit in our pocket had already been eaten.

Looking at the cores on the ground, and then at the two people who had already entered the room with their arms around each other's waists, "Should we follow them?"

"What kind of hobby do you have? Why are you still watching this?" Nannan rolled her eyes at me. Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, she disappeared in the blink of an eye. "What kind of person is this? Running so fast, you don't have any sense of loyalty at all."

There really isn't much to watch here. It's better to go back to sleep so late at night. When I got up and was about to go down, I looked at the moon in the sky. It was so beautiful.

As I watched and sighed, I suddenly felt dizzy and my body became unstable and I was about to fall to one side. I fell and even fell into the yard. If I fell, my face would be disfigured.

In a very short period of time, he had already thought of what to do with the disfigured back half of his body. Half of it fell off, and he felt someone pulling his body, and the hands that were covering his face loosened.

Seeing it was Master Xiao, I felt relieved. Master Xiao pulled me back and said, "You want to commit suicide? Why are you blocking me?" This guy is going to die if he doesn't talk nonsense every day.

I thought so in my heart and said it out loud, "You are a little girl, why don't you have any nice words to say? You keep saying you will die, how unlucky."

This guy pretended to be serious and fanned his nose with his hands, as if he really smelled something dirty, "Wang! Wang! Wang!"

The words I wanted to say to him were on the tip of my tongue, but I was interrupted by three dog barks. Then I realized that there was a real father calling me from below.

No matter what, let’s go down first. Even if this dog is very capable, it is impossible for it to climb over the wall with me. “What are you doing? You are so scared of a dog.”

Young Master Xiao pointed at the big wolfdog, and his tone was as relaxed as if he was pointing at a Chihuahua. I looked at the big wolfdog that was as big as a Tibetan Mastiff, and I really wanted to kick him down.

"Watch out, I'm going to teach you this time." Master Xiao reached out and found a fruit from my body, threw it into his mouth and spit out the core, then placed the core on his middle finger and held it against his thumb.

He made a gesture as if he was about to shoot and said, "Don't kill the dog, it's innocent." I can see that killing is unacceptable. After all, this has nothing to do with the dog.

"Oh, don't worry. I don't want to take a dog's life for nothing." Master Xiao aimed at the position under the moonlight. With a "whoosh" sound, the dog fell down for unknown reasons.

"Hey, is the dog okay?!" It didn't look like it was okay. I checked the dog from different angles to make sure I didn't see any blood or anything.

"Don't worry, there is absolutely nothing. Let's go. If you don't leave now, people will get up." Master Xiao pointed at the moonlight.

"Oh, yes, let's go, let's go, help me down." Looking at the height of the wall, I really don't know how I climbed up.

Master Xiao jumped down first, leaned against the wall, and used his shoulder as a footrest for me. Then I came down, "Thank you for today."

Still, she expressed her gratitude for Master Xiao's behavior, "Don't thank me, or I'll be heartbroken if such a beautiful face gets disfigured."

Master Xiao walked in front with his hands on his head, "You know that's not what I'm talking about."

I had nothing better to do than to pick fruits in the middle of the night. I wasn't sick enough to run into someone else's yard. But when this guy mentioned this yard to me intentionally or unintentionally, I knew there was something wrong.

I came to take a look out of curiosity. It seemed that the focus was on that couple. When I lowered my head to think, when I looked up again, the person walking in front of me had disappeared.

"Yeah, where are the people?" He looked around and found that he had reached the back door of the Shen Mansion. He pushed the door open and went back to sleep.

"You're putting so much effort into dealing with her, why don't you just solve the problem directly?" In the dark, Master Xiao was talking to someone with a confused look on his face.

"Don't be nosy and go back." The man waved his hand to let him go. Master Xiao obediently turned around and disappeared into the night. The man stared at the direction I went for a long time, and I don't know what he was thinking about.

"The bed is still more comfortable." After climbing over the wall and picking fruits, he had already used up all his energy. He fell asleep while half lying on the bed with his legs hanging out.

"Miss, Miss, wake up, wake up." An anxious voice pulled me back from the chessboard. As soon as my hazy eyes opened, Hongdou pulled me up.

Hongdou half sat behind me and propped me up. "We have a clue about that matter." Hongdou spoke to me beside me.

When I heard this, I sat up straight away, feeling more alert. "What's going on? Tell me about it."

Hongdou told me a story. When I expressed my idea, Hongdou had already communicated with several craftsmen who made a lot of hairpins, hoping to understand the price in advance.

My manuscript was stolen, so the matter was put on hold. A few days ago, Hongdou thought about it and decided to get some information from these people first.

Thanks to Hongdou's efforts, she actually learned something from a craftsman that the owner of the shop opposite had secretly ordered a batch of hairpins with very unique styles.

I specifically asked for porcelain, but it's not easy to make. Not only does it take a long time, but I finally made a few samples and had to show them to the lady boss across the street.

As luck would have it, Hongdou touched it. Or to be more precise, he bumped into it, and the hairpin in the craftsman's arms broke. Hongdou had seen my drawings, and this style was rare.

This aroused Hongdou's vigilance, so she compensated the craftsman and had a meal with him. After drinking the wine, the craftsman relaxed his mouth. It turned out that it was the proprietress opposite who wanted fast and good quality food and didn't pay the reservation fee in advance.

It was all because of his family's little power that he suppressed the craftsman. It would be strange if he didn't have resentment. "I gave the craftsman some money and asked him to continue working. The craftsman took the money and was very happy. He told me everything."

I listened to Hongdou's words and stroked my non-existent beard, "The lady boss across the street?"

The name sounds new yet somewhat familiar. I know that there are shops selling rouge and powder near the Hongdou shop.

"She's the wife of Liu Laosan before." Oh oh oh, speaking of Liu Laosan, I have some impression of her.

Liu Laosan was a contractor hired by Hongdou when the new store was being renovated. But this guy was good at cutting corners. Hongdou was too busy to notice it.

It was not until the construction period was delayed that I felt something was wrong. Later, I was caught red-handed by Hongdou and fired. I was so angry that I made a scene in the store for several days.

"I remember it was me who found out. It was General Bai who intervened and made that person stop. They had been fighting for a long time. How come they were a pair?"

When choosing the address for the new store, Hongdou and I discussed it for several days. The shops in that area are all old stores that are more than a few years old, and we chose the location based on where the customer flow is stable.

Even if you stop doing it in the future, it's easy to sell by renting it out or selling it.

"Who said it wasn't? I was also curious, so I asked around. The lady boss across the street used to be from a poor family, but her father made an agreement with the elders of her husband's family, so she was raised as a child bride at an early age. Later, she married this husband whose family was rich. Who knew that she was short-lived and died a few years after their marriage. Her husband's family thought that the woman brought bad luck, so they used this as an excuse to divorce her. The lady boss didn't know she was a vegetarian, so she came up with a lot of ideas. After all, she had been raised in the family for a few years and knew the temper of this family very well. They said that she would hang herself at the door of the mansion, and even as a ghost she would not let them go. The second young master of her husband's family had just given birth to a child, so in the end her husband's family gave her money and the store before they gave up."

I kept clicking my tongue as I listened to this. At this moment, I didn't know who to judge. It felt a bit weird.

"What about Liu Laosan?" He asked Hongdou with a gossipy look on his face while cracking melon seeds. This was much more interesting than listening to an opera.

"After this incident with the boss lady, most people don't dare to mess with her, but she is in her prime. Liu Laosan has a strange taste. He said that he is lucky and can definitely handle it, so he wants to marry the boss lady."

"Doesn't Liu Laosan have a wife at home?" If I remember correctly, when I came to make trouble, I specially checked the background. He has had a wife for many years, but he has no children.

"That's right. Liu Laosan has been beating and scolding his wife because she didn't give birth to a boy or girl. The mother-in-law at home is not a good person either. She makes his daughter-in-law go to the river to wash clothes every day in the cold weather."

Why does this plot seem so familiar? "Is this daughter-in-law very obedient?"

"Yes, miss, how did you know?" Hongdou agreed with me in surprise. I sighed helplessly, as if this was written in the storybook.

"Poor women are all the same." I shook my head and let Hongdou continue.

"This mother-in-law believes in fate very much. She has always said that the boss's wife is doomed to fail and will bring bad luck to her husband, so she refused to let her marry me no matter what." Hongdou's mouth became dry when she said this. I quickly held out my hand, afraid that if I was too slow, Hongdou would forget the rest of the story.

"A star that is destined to be unlucky? Do you believe this?" I felt it was a bit outrageous. Aren't people who are destined to be unlucky not going to live long?

"Who said it wasn't true? But the old lady believed it. Liu Laosan was also a smart man. He found a blind fortuneteller and put on a big show in front of the old lady, saying that Liu Laosan was destined to be the emperor and that ordinary women couldn't control him and couldn't give birth to this dragon fetus. Hahahahaha."

When Hongdou said this, everyone laughed. I couldn't help laughing either. This is the fate of an emperor. If the emperor knew about this, he would really have to meet the emperor in the underworld together. Maybe the emperor would be so happy that he would let him be the emperor for a few days in the underworld for fun.

"Behind it, behind it."

"This scared the old lady so much that she almost knelt down before the fortune teller. The old lady still wanted a grandson, so she asked the blind fortune teller for advice. The fortune teller said that only an extraordinary person, with the most unique fate, could give birth to this dragon fetus."

The fortune teller is also very cunning. He never finishes what he wants to say and always stops at the right point. If he says too much, it seems like he is doing it on purpose. This degree is just right, but a bit too much.

"The old lady understood immediately and changed her attitude. She immediately divorced her first wife and married the boss's wife."

"Oh, this old lady is so easy to fool. Isn't the first wife very pitiful? Where did she go after being divorced?" The pitiful person in the end is still the first wife.

"I think I set up a stall in the south and brewed wine for a winery. I lived a pretty good life." Hongdou recalled with his head half tilted back.

"Making wine? What did his wife add?" When I mentioned this, my memory seemed to be evoked. Why does it sound so familiar?

"I don't know her name, but the customers call her Sister Yuzhi." Hongdou told me after drinking her tea.

This world is really small. You can meet people with all kinds of relationships everywhere. It's just a helpless smile.

"Miss, what's wrong? Do you know this Sister Yuzhi?" Hongdou asked me subconsciously, looking at me with a wry smile.

"I don't know him." I guess I don't know him. We haven't even spoken a few words, so how can I say I know him?

"Could it be that the boss lady is narrow-minded and follows you?" I asked Hongdou speculatively.

"Before, when her old lady was still around, she would stroll around the store when she had nothing to do. Although she was not very nice to her family, she was very nice to outsiders, especially neighbors. If they said something wrong, she would immediately ask the boss lady to correct it. She also forbade her to be sneaky or do anything tricky. This old lady is quite capable. For a period of time before, everything was calm and nothing happened. I really thought that the boss lady was a law-abiding person and that she was just being gossiped about."
