Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 745
The shopkeeper put away the abacus, turned around and leaned towards the backyard of the small shop. While pushing aside the soft curtain on the door, he waved to the courtyard: "Hey—is everything ready?"

"It's ready, it's ready, it's ready early in the morning—the dog came on time." The little guy who was busy in the yard nodded in response, and when he got up, he brought a small bamboo basket, "Here, the shopkeeper ,Give you."

"Sure, go get busy, there are still distinguished guests ahead, so let me take care of this." The shopkeeper nodded, took the basket from the clerk, and sent her to continue working.

"Sorry, Miss San, I'm afraid I'll have to wait a little longer." The shopkeeper who brought the basket smiled shyly at Mu Xici, and then walked to the door of the shop with the basket.

At that time, the white-pawed yellow dog had already stood on the small open space outside the tailor shop, raised its head and barked twice at the shop inside.

"Here, come, don't yell, wait carefully and you will surprise my customers." The shopkeeper of the tailor shop cursed with a grin, and took out two leftover bones with some meat hanging from the basket as he spoke, and threw them away. Went to the ground, "Here, eat quickly."

"It's all day and night, and you are the most timely."

"Woof—" the dog snorted as an answer, and then An Sheng lowered his head and gnawed on the bone thrown on the ground by the shopkeeper.

Li Yunchi, who was at the side, saw the dog's well-behaved and human-like appearance, and couldn't help feeling amused, hurriedly stepped on his short legs, and squatted softly to the door.

"What a good dog." Xiao Daotong held his small face full of joy, he wanted to reach out to touch the yellow dog's head several times, but because of his master by his side, he did not dare to reach out that hand after all.

"Shopkeeper, whose dog is this, why did it come here?" Li Yunchi turned his eyes, raised his head and stared at the shopkeeper's face.

The latter smiled when he saw this, looked at Xiaodaotong's immature and innocent face, and lowered his tone slightly: "Young master, this is the dog that ran out of the flower building over there."

"Flower building?" Li Yunchi blinked, confused for a moment, "Flower building...what kind of building?"

He has heard of city towers, gate towers, and gun towers in border towns, but what are flower towers?
"Cough, Hualou is a building that looks gaudy." Mo Junli coughed repeatedly after hearing the word "Hualou", and hurriedly grabbed Xiaodaotong and threw him elsewhere, "It's a little boy like you!" A place where carrot heads can't go."

"Go, go and play on the side, don't get in the way here."

Pooh, obviously poor and stupid teacher, you seem to be getting in the way, right?
Also, what kind of gaudy building, my wife, are you fooling a three-year-old child here?

— how can he look so stupid!

Li Yunchi, who was being carried aside, pursed his lips and muttered, and there was an uncontrollable look of disgust on Baozi's face.

With a puffy face, he quietly stood behind Mo Junli and glared at him for a long while, before he finally went to find Lingqin and others to play with.

——Forget it, don't ask if you don't ask, he has already decided to forgive his wife, who made him a good boy who never caused trouble for his master.

Li Yunchi was thinking in this way, while Mu Xici turned to look at the shopkeeper after seeing his little apprentice walking away, and pretended to be careless and asked casually: "However, shopkeeper, let's talk again. gone."

"Why did the dog in this flower building come here? They raise dogs in the flower building, and they never feed the dog?"

"Damn, Miss Mu San, you don't know this. In fact, this dog used to be raised in the flower building over there, but it has been no longer since five days ago." The shopkeeper said, she looked down at the yellow dog After eating the bones, he put down the basket.

Mu Xici lowered her eyes and glanced into the basket, and saw that there were still a few pancakes in the basket—it didn't look like they were made for dogs.

"Here, hurry up and take it back for your master to eat—remember to bring the basket back to me after you finish eating, otherwise, you won't have any food tomorrow." The shopkeeper put the basket down, leaned over and patted the yellow dog on the head. .

The dog obediently pulled the pile of broken bones to the corner of the door with its paws, then stood up and made two bows to the shopkeeper with its front paws, then picked up the basket, turned and ran back to the end of the alley.

"Oh? Why didn't it stop five days ago?" Mu Xici raised her eyebrows. It was rare for her to be aroused by what the shopkeeper said, "Shopkeeper, tell me carefully, I want to hear .”

"It's like this, Miss San, that dog's name is 'Taxue', and its owner is Qiushui, who used to be a girl from that building." The shopkeeper said with a sigh, brought a broom and dustpan, and put away the stall at the door. Broken bones.

"This Qiushui girl is good-looking and has a good temper, but her life is not very good, and she has always been rough."

"Before, the villain vaguely heard others mention that Miss Qiushui was originally the daughter of a magistrate in a small county outside Beijing. After her mother died, her stepmother didn't like her very much, so she took an opportunity to take advantage of the magistrate's outing. When the case was settled, she was deliberately led onto the street and left at the most crowded crossing."

"How can a six or seven-year-old know the way home? By the time she stumbles to the side of the street, her stepmother has long since disappeared." Speaking of this, the shopkeeper's eyes were vaguely tinged with a little unbearable .

"Later, after she got lost with her family, she met a kidnapper on the street. The kidnapper saw that she was born with a good skin, so he secretly transported her to the capital, sold her into a flower house, and became a servant of the oiran. Serve the girl."

"Wait for Nazhi County to bring someone to find here, Miss Qiushui has already lived in the building for a while."

"Her father saw that she was accompanying the oiran, and he didn't care whether she, a six or seven-year-old child, could resist the orders of a group of adults. He only thought that she was willing to degenerate and humiliate their family."

"Nazhi County felt shameful, so he never recognized Miss Qiushui. He only said that she 'really resembles his daughter to some extent. It seems that the servants recognized the wrong person', and then took her away again."

"That Qiushui girl has been completely degraded since then—" The shopkeeper who put down the broom clasped his hands and sighed, "Miss Mu San, let me tell you the truth, don't laugh at the villain. "

"The villain has always felt that if the Qiushui girl can live peacefully in that flower building for a lifetime, it would be pretty good-although the girl in that building is a low-level job, but she was born well and has a Qin Zheng in her hand. (Guzheng) played again and again it was astonishing."

"As long as she can grasp the past few years of her youth, she will be able to earn money that will allow her to spend the rest of her life in peace. Although her status is lower, she can at least have enough food and clothing to avoid being thrown into the streets. "

"However, her fate is not good. The bustard of the flower building originally raised her as a future oiran, and she has never been allowed to receive guests before."

"A while ago, she just turned fifteen, and the bustard wanted to give her a grooming ceremony (commonly known as breaking melons) on the day she was about to be a hairpin. Unexpectedly, just the day before the grooming, she and the people in the building A girl quarreled, and in the end she accidentally cut her face."
