In a hotpot restaurant.

Jiusu saw and heard all of this. She said, "I didn't expect General Bai to be so upright. I thought he would break off completely with the Bai family."

Qiu Man took a big bite of pork slice and spoke incoherently.

"Hmm, it's vegetarian."

Jiusu closed the window, walked to the opposite side of her, put his elbows on the table, supported his chin, and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious? Do you want more dishes?"

Qiu Man swallowed the meat nervously. She was like a piece of meat being stared at fiercely by the young lady?

"No, no, I'm full." She waved her hand to refuse, and the chopsticks were shaken to leave afterimages. "What do you want to talk to me about?"

After I finished eating, I remembered what my sister said.

Those who take people have short hands and eat people with soft mouths.

Jiusu nodded. "I have never been to Shengjing, but maybe I will go there in the future. Can you tell me about the people and things in Shengjing?"

Qiu Man breathed a sigh of relief. Just saying something could get her a big meal. It was totally worth it.

She hesitated and said, "Shengjing is too big, with too many people and too many things to do. Is there anything you want to hear?"

Jiusu guided him tactfully, "I have already met the prince, Lord Qiu, General Bai and other important figures in Shengjing. Is there anything else to do? Is there only one Lord in Shengjing?"

Qiu Man shook her head. "There are two marquises in Shengjing. One is my father, and the other is Marquis Ju'an."

Jiusu picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.

"The dean of Hua Ting Academy told me that the only female tutor at that time, Yi Hui, was the Marquis's wife. Coincidentally, I was also a female tutor for a few days. Is she doing well?"

Qiu Man looked at Jiusu, and the image of the Marquis's wife appeared in front of her eyes. She blinked and murmured, it seems that, both in temperament and appearance.

Well, maybe it's just a resemblance.

"I know very little about Madam Yi. She has been ill for many years and rarely goes out. I have interacted with her adopted daughter several times, but I don't like her."

Jiusu asked: "Is she not nice to Madam Yi?"

Qiu Man said faintly: "Of course he was nice to Madam Yi, but his kindness was too fake. He was fake to everyone except the Minister of Personnel."

I don’t know what happened.

When she mentioned this person, she slumped down on the table as if she had wilted.

Jiusu smelled the melon, "What did the Minister of Personnel do to you?"

"He he he he he..." Qiu Man's ears turned red as she stuttered, "One time I ran away from home and twisted my ankle late at night. I happened to meet the Shangshu who was investigating a case, and he hugged me."

"Oh~" Jiusu teased, "Is this love?"

Qiu Man admitted it, but she was not in a good mood. She lowered her head and said, "So what if he is in love? He only likes to solve cases. He often meets and talks with Li Yulan."

The chopsticks poked into the dipping sauce, venting the sourness in my heart.

It is too difficult to like someone, and she dare not express her true feelings to the Shangshu. She can only escape and choose to eat more to numb her heart.

But when I’m hungry I’ll miss him.

I miss him more when I am full.

Jiusu asked: "They are probably old enough, right? Why haven't they gotten married yet? Is there something you don't know?"

"Even if there is, I don't dare to ask." Qiu Man said timidly, "I've been away from Shengjing for a month, maybe they have already gotten together."

Jiusu asks Zitan to bring dessert.

She pushed him over and coaxed him, "When you're in a bad mood, eat a piece of cake and you'll be happy, but you have to eat in moderation. If you get fat, you'll be really unhappy."

Qiu Man's eyes lit up, she sank the spoon into the cake, squeezing out the cream, her mouth felt sweet, and her mood really improved. She asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"

Jiusu said without hesitation: "Next time you meet, just tell him you like him."

"What if he refuses?" Qiu Man thought of the bad consequences.

The adults are so aloof that they will definitely reject her coldly.

Jiusu said firmly: "Chase him! Chase him if you can't catch him! If you can't catch him, change to another one! How do you know that other men are not attractive?"

Qiu Man nodded, not quite understanding.

After eating the cake and burping, she raised her hand and said, "Chase! I will chase! I must chase Song Wang!"

Uh.

After she finished speaking, she regretted it, scratched her head awkwardly, and smiled at Jiusu. Fortunately, it was in the box. If it was in the hall, everyone would know about it.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Jiusu smiled and said, "It's great to be young."

In the afternoon, I went to the market and bought a statue of the God of Wealth, which I placed outside my bedroom. I took a bath, changed my clothes, burned incense and prayed to the God of Wealth, hoping that he would bless her to become rich.

While browsing the system warehouse, I saw some unblessed Buddhist beads.

She had a feeling that something would happen in the next few days, and she was always uneasy. Looking at the Buddhist beads in her hand, she murmured, "If you believe it, it will happen. If you don't believe it, it won't happen. It's better to go find a real master to see it."

Hua Yanyue Maomao came back very late.

She held the brocade box nervously and placed it on the table, with a smile on her face that could not be hidden, "Miss, they are very satisfied with the makeup we put on. This is the money we earned today."

Jiusu gave the reward money and asked, "Has anyone signed up to learn makeup?"

"Yes!" Hua Yan nodded heavily, her face showing nervousness, and she placed the list on the table. "I wrote down my age and free time as you instructed."

I flipped through it and found it very detailed.

She taught the two how to classify their lessons, "But it will be hard work for both of you. You have to put on makeup during the day and teach classes at night."

Yuemao's eyes showed longing, "We servants don't feel tired, but feel honored."

Jiusu's eyes showed distress. She was always soft-hearted towards the women of this era. Too much empathy was a bad thing. She said, "It's hard to go back and forth. You can live in the shop from now on."

The two looked at each other, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times solemnly.

"Thank you, Miss, for saving our lives! Thank you, Miss, for allowing us to live with dignity!"

"..."

On the second day, the weather suddenly dropped in temperature. When I opened the door, the biting cold wind blew into my sleeves, freezing my skin red. It was only October, how could it be so cold?

Charcoal was extremely expensive in ancient times, and some people simply could not afford it.

Except for the people in the palace who could use excellent charcoal, everyone else used very inferior charcoal. If used improperly, they would cause poisoning and coma, leading to death.

The treasure detector detected something.

Jiang Jing went to do some business with the prince.

She had no choice but to go alone. After half an hour, she saw that she was very close, so she put away her loneliness and walked to the lake. Following the direction, she saw a monk meditating on the ground.

Oh no, a great monk.

Treasure detectors must be high-quality.

She felt like she was being spied on by the system.

The monk opened his eyes, his features were full of kindness, Jiusu felt like he was an old grandfather, she put her hands together politely, bowed and said hello: "Hello."

He was not surprised and took out a teapot and two teacups from the bamboo basket beside him.

"Donor, please take a seat."

Jiusu sat down.

The monk began to introduce himself: "I came from afar and passed by here, waiting for a destined person. Do you have any questions to ask?"

"Please look at this bracelet first." Jiusu presented it with both hands, feeling nervous but also excited.

This treasure detector doesn't say it can detect living people.
