The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 14 Keeping an Appointment
  "The girl is back."

Zi Su heard the voice of the waiter at the door and hurriedly came out, "Young lady has been here for a long time this time. I'm afraid she even used the tea at Madam's place."

Oh, for tea, I almost became an appetizer for Li Gui’s men!

"Shower and change clothes." Not taking a shower after catching ghosts is bad luck!

"Ah?" Zi Su looked up at the sky. Isn't it still early?

As dusk fell, servants came in and out of the flower hall until the table was filled with dishes.

"Looking at you like this, you must have come back." Seeing that his daughter looked tired, Mrs. Wen might have finished visiting that place.

"Yeah." Wen Jiu was a little confused thinking about what happened in the afternoon. What should he do if Lu Xu found out.

"Do you know who that person is?" Mr. Wen asked while serving Mrs. Wen.

"My daughter didn't give him any room to speak! After a while, I lit up a talisman and hit his life gate! I"

"Let's eat. As a father, you know how many pounds you have." Taifu Wen took a chopstick of green vegetables and put it in Wen Jiu's bowl.

"Dad, I don't like vegetables." Wen Jiu said expressionlessly.

"Eat it if you like." Mr. Wen stretched out his hand to take away the vegetables.

"Hey, I'll eat, eat, eat! I'll eat!" Wen Jiu protected his bowl and quickly picked up the rice.

"Hey, you can't live without a meal no matter what." Mrs. Wen finally let go of her worries when she saw that her daughter came back safe and sound.

Before taking a few bites, Wen Jiu suddenly thought of something: "But dad, I seemed to hear what he said about the former prince, but I didn't hear it clearly."

As soon as these words came out, both Mrs. Wen and his wife were stunned.
  "You don't have to tell anyone else about this." Mr. Wen put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "so as not to cause trouble."

"Oh." Wen Jiu nodded obediently, who were he talking to? Lu Xu? Let the ghost talk to him.

But I don’t know if I heard the words “little master” that the guy said wrong before he died.

At night, the moonlight flickered.

"It's getting dark earlier and earlier." Banxia glanced out the window, then closed the windows one by one. "The girl's health has just improved, but she can't catch the wind at night."

"Girl, wipe your face." Zi Su wrung out the handkerchief in her hand.

Wen Jiu took the handkerchief and covered his face with a look of despair.

Seeing that she was so abnormal, Zisu couldn't help but feel a little worried, "Is the girl worried?"

Wen Jiu felt upset when he thought about the reply on the desk just now. He pulled off the facekerchief and threw it into the copper basin. His face was slightly reddish from the heat.

She rarely applied the rouge and gouache that girls love to use, and her skin became as smooth and tender as a peeled egg.

Zisu couldn't help sighing, her girls have always been good-looking, and she was not far behind Zhang Xizhang, the most beautiful lady in the capital.

"You guys go down first." Wen Jiu sat on the chair by the window with his hair loose.

"I will never go to the capital again in this life. If you want to solve this talisman of co-existence, bring someone to see me. Maybe you can practice more diligently and master the method of cracking it."

Okay, okay, I thought it was just Lu Xu who wanted to harm me, but now even my master has come to add insult to injury.

These two thick collections of talismans and seal scripts were so obscure that she would not be able to understand them even if she borrowed them from heaven for another five hundred years.

Even so, she turned a few pages and fell into a deep sleep after a while.

If Quanzhen Sanren saw her like this, he would be furious.

Early the next morning, people were already walking around the courtyard. “Cough cough cough” I actually fell asleep on this armchair yesterday. In the past, I was pretending to be sick, but today I am really sick.

Seeing that Wen Jiu was coughing badly, Zi Su quickly poured tea and served it, "Young lady looks not feeling well, are you still going out today?"

Wen Jiu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "Go ahead."

If you go, you just feel unwell. If you don't go, you may die.

The weather was very good in the afternoon, and you could still see the sunset in the evening, but now it was getting darker and the sky outside was already overcast.

Wen Jiu wrapped his cloak around him, and the bleak wind after the beginning of autumn was already a little cool.

The vendors in the streets and alleys gradually closed their stalls. It got dark early and there were few pedestrians on the streets.

Fange is the number one restaurant in the capital. It is said that the chefs inside are specially invited from all over the country according to the cuisine, just so that the powerful people in the capital can eat authentic food.

Naturally, Wen Jiu has never been here. He has never been to many places in Beijing, let alone Fan Pavilion.

The waiter wanted to have a few words with the cashier, but there were Jin Yiwei sitting upstairs, and everyone wanted to have a discussion.

But suddenly there was the sound of a carriage outside, and he quickly ran out to greet it.

The curtains were lifted, and the maid got out of the carriage first. Then she straightened the cloak of the young lady behind, and then got off the carriage.

Noble ladies from aristocratic families often come and go in Fan Pavilion. Even the emperor's favorite sixth princess came here last month.

But this was the first time he had seen a girl who looked so good-looking without any makeup, and she was indeed very cool.

"Have you made a reservation, girl?" The waiter welcomed the person through the door.

"They are already on the second floor, I can just go up myself."

When Wen Jiu got out of the car, she had already looked at the surrounding environment. This was her "occupational disease". At a glance, she saw Lu Xu's horse snoring in the horse pen.

"Yes, yes." The waiter said hurriedly. After all, there were many big shots in Beijing, and he couldn't afford to offend them.

When they got to the second floor, they saw Lou Wu guarding the elegant room, and Wen Jiu walked straight over.

"You stand outside the door and wait for me." She turned around and ordered.

"Girl. A single man and a widowed woman." Zi Su was about to persuade her, but Lou Wu reached out and blocked the door. She was so frightened that her heart trembled.

"My adults are also in there, and I'm afraid they'll suffer a loss!" Lou Wu looked unhappy.

Zisu stood by the door with a grimace. Should he listen to what he was saying?
  Lu Xu had been waiting here for a long time. Every house in the capital was lit up, and the dim yellow lights enveloped the city in a warm light.

Wen Jiu closed the door and saw such a scene. Lu Xu's back was as straight as before, and she could see a bit of loneliness.

"Cough cough cough" The wind blowing in through the window was a bit strong, and Wen Jiu couldn't help coughing.

Lu Xu turned around, and a face with deep outlines was gradually revealed in the warm light.

From the first time Wen Jiu saw him, his thin lips were pursed most of the time, his angular jaw, straight bridge of nose, coupled with his long frowning eyebrows and narrow, calm eyes.
  Wen Jiu met his gaze directly, with panic in his eyes.

"Have you seen enough, Miss Wen?" Lu Xu's voice was impatient.

"My lord, please forgive me. I think you are good-looking. However, with all the lights in the house, you will inevitably feel a little lonely." Wen Jiu looked out the window and said honestly.

Lu Xu felt like he had been burned by something, and there was something strange in his heart.
