Shenzhou Town Demon Records

Chapter 709
Feeling uneasy for a moment, Shang Hongxiu finally shook his head and said: "Thanks to senior's great love, but the young girl is sensitive after all, in order to avoid the noble sect being criticized because of this matter, the young lady can only appreciate the kindness of senior."

Sikong Jian sighed lightly, and said with emotion: "Forget it, it seems that you and I do not have the relationship between master and apprentice, but since the little girl is a gangster, she must have a lot of money, why even the 40 taels of silver pearls?" Are even hairpins reluctant to buy it?"

Shang Hongxiu was taken aback, frowned vigilantly and said: "How could senior know this, have you been following me?"

Sikong watched his words and expressions, and couldn't help but smiled and said: "Little girl, don't worry too much, the reason why I pay attention to you is naturally for a legitimate reason, and it's not because I have any malice against you."

Seeing Sikongjian's calm expression, Shang Hongxiu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but said uncomfortably, "I'm just kidding, in fact, the little girl is already used to such attire, so the pearl hairpin is not needed at all. I just passed by by chance before, and just asked casually. , it’s not that I’m reluctant to pay a mere 40 taels of silver.”

Sikong Jian smiled slightly, silently reached into his bosom, and took out a finely crafted pearl hairpin.

This pearl hairpin is made of pure pure gold, inlaid with beautiful Hetian jade, and the head of the hairpin is carved as a Qionghua in full bloom, with eight dazzling pearls inlaid in the stamen, which looks really exquisite.

Shang Hongxiu first showed surprise on his face, and then his cheeks became dizzy, and he only heard Sikong coughing in a cramped voice: "I am afraid that the little girl has doubts in her heart, thinking that I am courteous for nothing, and that I am not adulterous or stealing? In fact, I and your mother It has quite a long history, so it’s really nothing to give you a gift.”

Shang Hongxiu's delicate body trembled, and she whispered softly: "What?! Senior mean... my mother?"

Sikong Jian slightly nodded and said: "That's right, isn't your mother Baixiu Junior Sister?"

Shang Hongxiu was even more stunned when he heard the words, and after a pause, he said in a trembling voice: "How can senior know my background?"

Seeing Shang Hongxiu being so excited, Sikong couldn't help being a little surprised, and immediately said in harmony: "The little girl's appearance is at least [-]% similar to Baixiu's junior sister, and you also come from the Beiyue Hengshan School, so your background should be different. Hard to guess, right?"

Shang Hongxiu bit her cherry lips tightly, lowered her eyebrows and said in a shy voice: "So that's how it is. I haven't seen my mother since I was born, master...they never mentioned that my appearance is similar to my mother's, but after hearing what senior said , are you really my mother's old acquaintance?"

Si Kongjian's eyes were blurred, showing nostalgia in it, he nodded slowly and said: "Yes, I heard that Junior Sister Baixiu died because of dystocia back then, luckily the little girl escaped from death, seeing you grow up now, I feel very sorry Rejoice."

Shang Hongxiu tried to calm down, and when she frowned slightly, she couldn't hide her gloom and said: "I was the one who killed my mother. I think I was a born debt collector. No wonder they hate me so much. Alas... when I died I'm fine."

Seeing Meifeng Yixuan, Sikong said solemnly and solemnly: "Little girl, don't think wildly, Junior Sister Baixiu has a spirit in the sky, I never want to see you so self-pity and let her sacrifice down."

Shang Hongxiu smiled wryly to himself, and could only bow his head and hum: "Thank you for your enlightenment, senior, I will definitely keep it in mind."

Sikong Jian looked a little slow, coughed and said: "What's the girl's name, do you mind telling me?"

Shang Hongxiu's face flushed slightly, and he honestly reported his real name, Sikong listened and said after hearing this, "Hongxiu adds fragrance, it's really elegant, my brother Shang Xun has read a lot of poetry and books, he is really extraordinary."

After hearing this, Shang Hongxiu said sadly: "My father died of illness when I was seven years old. Before he died, he found my mother's classmates and entrusted me to them."

Seeing pity in Sikong's heart, he said kindly, "I should not have caused my niece to be sad. This pearl hairpin is a gift of apology, so I ask my niece not to refuse."

Shang Hongxiu believed that Si Kong Jian was an old acquaintance of her late mother, but that pearl hairpin was very valuable, how could she dare to accept it rashly, and quickly waved her hand and said: "Senior is very kind, my niece is very fond of it, but this pearl hairpin is too expensive. Precious, sorry I can't accept it."

Sikong saw that his expression changed, and he said more sincerely: "I am still alone, and there is no female relative in my family. If my niece insists on refusing to accept this pearl hairpin, no one will claim it, so I will have to sell it at a pawnshop. Too bad?"

Shang Hongxiu froze for a moment, then said in a shy voice: "Among the disciples of your sect, there are many female family members. Seniors can give this pearl hairpin as a gift to show their favor to the younger generation. After all, I have nothing to do with your sect, so I just accepted it rashly." It's really hard to rest my conscience."

Seeing Meifeng Yixuan, Sikong said disapprovingly: "My niece insists on evading, are you worried that I have other plans for you? It's just a pearl hairpin. If my niece feels bad, I can find something suitable for you. It's your right to communicate with me." No, I will gladly accept it when the time comes."

Seeing that Shang Hongxiu couldn't shirk it, he had no choice but to accept the pearl hairpin shyly. Seeing that he was full of ambition, Sikong smiled and said: "Yes, this can be called sassy and heroic. Although my niece's appearance is exactly like Baixiu's junior sister, but when it comes to acting It's a style, but it's similar to my good friend Bai Lingchai."

Shang Hongxiu said embarrassingly: "Senior, Bai Ling...Senior is highly skilled in martial arts, and his temperament is especially chic. How can I compare with him?"

Sikong Jian chuckled and said, "Niece, why bother to be self-effacing, let alone other things, at least in terms of drinking capacity, I don't think you are weaker than her."

Shang Hongxiu's noodles were flushed, and Si Kongjian said in a whisper: "But drinking blindly, after all, is a bit harmful to the body, and it is serious to fill your stomach first. It just so happens that there is a century-old restaurant in front of it, and it is said that the sesame balls are quite delicious. It’s famous, why don’t we go and taste it?”

Although Shang Hongxiu didn't intend to eat, but facing Si Kongjian's invitation, she really couldn't refuse, and because she had nothing to do, she finally nodded in agreement.

Sikong Jian smiled for it, and led Shang Hongxiu to go forward together, the two talked and talked on the way, and the relationship unknowingly became closer.

After walking for about a meal, Si Kong Jian and Shang Hongxiu entered a busy market, and saw a street shop not far in front, with the four big characters of "Zhang Ji Bakery" written on the gold-lettered signboard, which was very impressive .

There are several long queues in front of the bakery, among which the one selling honey mochi is the longest, almost reaching the end of the street.

Si Kongjian and Shang Hongxiu had a clear look at each other, they couldn't help being startled, and their eyes fell on a female champion in the team at the same time.

This female crown is dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with an ebony hairpin, a long sword inserted obliquely in the back, and a shiny vermilion gourd hanging from her waist.Although only the side face can be seen at this moment, it shows that the appearance is very beautiful, but the facial contour is a bit too rigid, lacking the unique feminine charm of a woman.

Shang Hongxiu recognized that it was the uniform of Beiyue Hengshan School, and the person in front of her was not a stranger to her, so she couldn't help but feel hesitant.

At this time, Sikong Jian Fuxu smiled, strode forward, and slapped the female crown on the shoulder.
