Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Shen Luoxin stood in front of Ji Wuyan. The tea cup in her hand seemed a little heavier than before, and the heat seemed to be higher, making it slightly hot to the touch. She looked at the other person's hand holding hers and asked, "Obviously... thoughts?"

Ji Wuyan nodded, everything was clearly written on his face.

"I also want to become very powerful." Shen Luoxin lowered his head and smiled bitterly, feeling a little lonely, "I also want to do everything well quietly, and I want to be like you. But I... can't always do it. "She looked like an eggplant that had been beaten by frost in late autumn. It looked gloomy and lacked energy.

Ji Wuyan, who originally planned to go for a walk in the back mountain, saw Shen Luoxin like this, thought about it, changed his mind, stood up, dusted off his skirt, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

"Where?"

"Chaoyun was worried about Fengchenju. He promised her to go and have a look early in the morning, but he forgot about it." Ji Wuyan said casually, "I thought you wouldn't be able to rest if I asked you to go and have a rest now, so why not stay with me?" Go for a walk, can I treat you to some candied haws?"

Looking at Ji Wuyan, whose brows were slightly raised as if he were offering a treasure, Shen Luoxin had the illusion for a moment that he was just a child the same size as Jifeng.

She had long passed the age where she could be coaxed away by a piece of candied haws...but she still agreed, and really started to look forward to that one.

Like a child.

Seeing her nodding, Ji Wuyan lowered his head and patted the cat in his arms, smiling, "I'll take you with me today. Aunt Chao Yun said that there is a snack shop next door to Fengchenju, and there are delicious dried fish in it. Take you to have a taste?"

The cat was fed a lot by the girls and nuns in the dining room, and its temper became more and more lazy. It softly called out, "Meow..."

……

After all, the trip to Fengchenju for Chaoyun was just an excuse Ji Wuyan pulled out casually. It was true that he wanted to buy dried fish. Just when he walked to the door, the cat who had been sleeping with his eyes squinted the whole way suddenly woke up and spread his limbs on the ground. He climbed on Ji Wuyan's shoulder and called "meow meow" towards the snack shop, which meant "I won't get through if I don't buy something today."

Although Ji Wuyan always said that those in the family were becoming more and more lawless in spoiling the cat, but as we all know, no one in the Ji family could get used to it.

When Ziqiu paid the money and came out of the shop, he was already carrying several heavy packages of snacks... Behind him was the shopkeeper who was smiling and rubbing his hands frequently. While delivering them, he kept thinking, " Girl, walk slowly, walk slowly! Come back next time...bring the cat owner with you!"

What a great customer! That cat reincarnated so well!

Their own snacks are not cheap, but when these little girls came in, they didn't ask the price. The girl holding the cat picked up a little of each and handed it to the cat to smell. If the cat liked it, she would just With a click of her fingertips, the maid behind her told the waiter, "Put it on." These two words are really domineering and beautiful! The shopkeeper squinted his eyes and smiled, thinking so. Ji Wuyan did not go to Fengchenju after that, but found a teahouse and ordered a pot of tea and two snacks. When the waiter saw that the three of them were dressed like girls from a wealthy family, he invited them to the private room. Ji Wuyan waved his hand and said no, and found a seat by the window and greeted Shen Luoxin. He and Ziqiu both sat down.

Shen Luoxin didn't know her plan. She thought she was going to Fengchenju, but she just passed the door and didn't come in. It was not Ji Wuyan's habit to sit in the lobby instead of going to the private room. When she saw the waiter leaving, she asked, "The tea and snacks here are just average. I'm afraid you won't be used to it... Why don't you go to Fengchenju to eat?"

Ji Wuyan said it was okay, "Just rest, it can be anywhere, I don't choose... If we go to Fengchenju, Ruoshui will have to mobilize all the troops to serve us. She won't find it troublesome, but I will feel very tired."

Miss Ji, who was very particular about food and clothing, said that she didn't choose things herself. Shen Luoxin felt that this was so unbelievable that even Jifeng wouldn't believe it. When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. When Miss Ji goes wrong...there must be a big monster.

Her suspicious expression was too obvious. Ji Wuyan touched his nose, pointed at the people around him who were drinking tea and chatting, and smiled lazily, "It's not bad to sit here occasionally and look at these bustling crowds. You Look, even though rumors of the epidemic are spreading, life goes on. When we should have tea, we should have tea, when we should chat, we should chat. Of course, when we should worry, we should still worry... But no one is panicking all day long."

Shen Luoxin was startled for a moment, then looked at the tea drinkers in the lobby.

The storyteller above was still telling old stories about talented men and beauties. The big man who was drinking tea tasted the wine from his tea, and was talking about interesting things from all over the world in a loud voice. The woman beside him was still talking about homely things. An interesting story about the East's parents and the West's shortcomings.

Business as usual.

The anxiety in Dali Temple and the turbulent undercurrent did not seem to have the slightest impact on this teahouse. Except that in the daily intervals of these fireworks, one or two words about the word "epidemic" could be heard, and the sound was not loud. , only people talking in twos and threes, huddled in the corner, and no more people participated.

In the past few days, while running around major drug stores, all I saw were agitated people. They were shouting, frightened, and roaring. They were venting these negative emotions, so much so that Shen Luoxin thought that the peace of the Ji family was the last paradise. Land, but now it seems that maybe the matter is not as serious as I thought.

"Mr. Chen said, since Li Yanxian was not the first, and the first and even the previous patients were not discovered and did not cause widespread infection, then from a certain perspective, the situation is worse than we expected. , much better. This disease... leaves us more time than we expected." Ji Wuyan took the tea brought by the waiter, poured tea for Shen Luoxin, and poured himself a cup. Pushing it to Ziqiu, he continued to ask, "No matter what I say while sitting at home, it's not as good as if you came out and saw it with your own eyes."

While they were talking, a small man came from nowhere, looked around furtively, and asked Ji Wuyan in a low voice, "Girl, I just... heard you talk about this epidemic?"

The man was a bit old but thin, with a small beard. As he spoke, he reached out and touched the beard. Seeing Ji Wuyan raise an eyebrow, he pulled out the hand that was in his pocket, revealing Half of the yellowed paper was quickly stuffed back, like a thief, "Girl, this epidemic is scary! It can kill people! Xiaosheng looked at the girl's kind face, thinking that she is a girl from a good family. Xiaosheng really can't bear it. The girl suffered this accident..."

Ji Wuyan and Shen Luoxin looked at each other, touched their noses, and licked their back teeth in a bad mood...
