I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

"Boss, where are all these carriages going so early in the morning?"

"Haha, little girl, you look like an outsider." The boss took a bowl of soybean milk and placed it in front of Tangtang, and explained with a smile: "The young masters and young ladies in the car are all rushing to Jinxiu Academy."

"Academy?"

"Yes, it's a place where young masters and young ladies kill time. They also learn some music, chess, calligraphy, and painting."

Tangtang was very curious about Jinxiu Academy and kept asking questions about the boss.

Unfortunately, he didn't know more and only said it was a characteristic of Datong City.

"An unmarried woman hangs out with a bunch of playboys all day long. The world is going downhill. The world is going downhill."

Someone at the side interrupted with a look of disdain on his face.

"Brother, be careful of your mouth. Only those who can enter that academy are children of aristocratic families. Moreover, most of the young masters and young ladies who graduated from Jinxiu Academy eventually got married. I guess that Jinxiu Academy is a place for aristocratic families to meet for blind dates. It is not as bad as you say." Someone else shook his head and refuted his words.

"Humph, full of flattery, a lackey of the rich and powerful!"

"What did you say?!"

The two almost came to blows over a disagreement, and were only able to stop thanks to the boss giving each of them a bowl of soy milk.

Regardless of what others think, Tangtang has a good impression of the academy. After all, it is a place where you can learn things.

After breakfast, she went to the entrance of Jinxiu Academy to take a look.

Since she was a little girl, the gatekeeper did not chase her away immediately.

After Tangtang had looked enough, he waved his hand to drive her away.

"I'll leave right away. By the way, this is clearly a place for teaching music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so why is it called 'Academy' instead of 'Qinqi Calligraphy and Painting Academy'?"

The big man was obviously stunned and seemed to find it difficult to answer the little girl's question.

"Because originally we only taught calligraphy, but later when more people complained, we expanded the content."

A young girl with a cold look came out, followed by a maid.

.......

It turned out to be the case.

Tangtang nodded, but couldn't help but look at the girl who answered her question a few more times.

"The young lady is so beautiful that even a little girl like that is stunned by her." The maid said with a smile.

"No no"

Tangtang denied the maid's guess very honestly, and then said seriously: "Sister, the comb you are holding in your hand has a ghost attached to it. Although it is not a vengeful ghost, Tangtang still wants to say goodbye to you!"

After saying that, the little girl waved and walked away.

The girl's expression changed. She glared at the maid beside her and said, "Well, who came up with the idea to send such a little guy to scare me?"

"This, Miss, you misunderstood. Miss! Where are you going?"

Seeing the girl trotting away angrily, the maid quickly called on the followers in the distance to catch up.

"Strange, the master and his wife didn't tell me that this would happen today."

'If it's not specially arranged, then...'

Carefully recalling the little girl's appearance, the maid memorized the name "Tangtang" and hurriedly chased after her young lady.

She didn't have to chase for long before the frail Miss Qin stopped panting.

"You, don't follow me!"

"No need to follow, miss. I'm taking everyone shopping." The maid said with a smile.

Qin Sixuan glared at her and ignored her angrily.

After resting for a while, Miss Qin regained her cool temperament and began to stroll slowly down the street.

Seeing this, the maid restrained her smile and asked in a worried tone: "Miss, are you going to see him again?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just shopping."

.......

Since you're shopping, it's only normal to chat with the stall owner when you see something you want to buy, right?

"Miss Qin, would you like to take a look at the new wooden combs?"

"kindness"

Qin Sixuan showed a faint smile at the corner of her mouth. Her eyes swept across the man's thin face, and she pretended to pick a wooden comb.

She looked down upon so many young men from aristocratic families in the academy, but she had an inexplicable liking for the man in front of her.

Obviously, he has no outstanding qualities. The only thing worth praising is...

"In a few days, it will be Ayun's death anniversary. Although she has passed away a long time ago, I always have the illusion that Ayun has never left."

The man in front of him has already married, and the couple is deeply in love.

Even though the woman named Ayun passed away two years ago, he still misses her to this day.

'Perhaps it was his deep love for his late wife that touched me.'

'This is a man of integrity and righteousness, much better than other superficial people.'

Qin Sixuan liked listening to him talk about Ayun the most. Gradually, her smile became deeper and deeper, and her eyes revealed undisguised love.

The maid standing behind him saw everything and felt very upset!

She was raised in the Qin family since she was a child and has served the young lady for four or five years. She absolutely does not want to see her young lady go astray.

If the man in front of her showed any lustful intentions, she would go back and report to the master and mistress, making this guy pay the price.

But, no!

Even when facing a great beauty like the young lady, he still spoke of Ayun with deep affection on his face.

"Well, the master and his wife are respectable people. As long as this man has not really made any mistakes, they will not do anything to him."

"But if this continues..."

There was anger in the maid's eyes. She felt that her young lady was the most beautiful in the world and there was no man in the world who would not be moved when seeing her.

Fu Xing, who sells wooden combs, is no exception!

The reason why he didn't reveal any flaws was just because he was playing hard to get.

'Perhaps he used some evil magic to make the young lady obsessed with him.'

........

After all, she couldn't stay here for long, so Qin Sixuan picked up a wooden comb at random and prepared to ask her maid to pay for it.

But when the words came to her lips, she inexplicably talked about the little girl before.

"The child is just talking nonsense, Miss Qin, don't take it to heart." Fu Xing said in a deep voice.

Qin Sixuan nodded, but the maid beside her murmured: "I don't think so. Everyone says that children can see things that adults can't see."

Fu Xing forced a smile and suddenly pointed at a wooden comb and said, "Miss Qin, this is actually the best-selling comb these days."

Qin Sixian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after picking up the wooden comb recommended by Fu Xing and playing with it for a while in his hands.

"This is it. Pay for it."

"Yes!"

After paying the money readily, the maid urged her mistress to leave quickly.

"Miss Qin," Fu Xing called her very rarely, "If the girl's words were to reach Master Qin's ears, the wooden comb you bought from me for the first time would definitely be ruined. Rather than that, it would be better for me to redeem it now."

Chapter 247 White Shroud

Although she was very reluctant, after some thought, Qin Sixian returned the wooden comb hidden in her sleeve to Fu Xing.

"No need to redeem this comb..."

"No, Miss!" Before Qin Sixuan could finish her words, the maid said anxiously, "This is Miss's personal belongings, how can you give it to a man?"

Qin Sixuan finally reacted and two blushes appeared on her face.

"Come back here!" the maid Xiao Cui shouted fiercely.

Originally, if Miss Qin's things were not going so smoothly, Fu Xing was still counting on this wooden comb to continue making money for him.

But the unruly maid tried to snatch it back and he was helpless.

"I didn't mean to offend you, please forgive me, Miss Qin."

Fu Xing smiled bitterly, thinking that his wooden comb would most likely be handed over to Master Qin by the maid to be destroyed.

It is of course a pity to lose a money-making tool, but on the bright side, at least it won't stay with Miss Qin and get in the way at the critical moment.

'Let's fight to the death!'

Fu Xing apologized to Qin Sixuan again. The latter said nothing, just nodded at him and left.

"Xiao Cui, I'll give you this comb."

On the way back, Qin Sixuan suddenly said this to her maid.

"Eh?"

"Remember to keep it safe. If anything goes wrong, I won't talk to you anymore."

Xiao Cui finally reacted. She said with a sad face, "Miss, if the master and the mistress ask me to hand over this comb, what should I do?"

"You have so many clever ideas, there must be a way." Qin Sixian said lightly.

If the master and mistress really ask me for it, how can I not give it to them?

Xiao Cui thought about it and felt that perhaps she could hide the incident of meeting the little girl today.

As long as the master and his mistress don't care about this wooden comb, they naturally won't ask her for it.

The problem is that......

"If the little guy really saw something, and I concealed it and didn't let the master and the lady pay attention to it in time."

"If anything happens to the young lady because of this, I will regret it for the rest of my life!"

.......

"You met a little girl named Tangtang at the entrance of the academy today. She said that this wooden comb is possessed by the soul of the dead?"

"Yes"

Xiao Cui lowered her head and said weakly, "Maybe the child is just talking nonsense, but after thinking about it, I think I should report this to the master."

"You did a good job! Go to the accounting office later to collect ten taels of silver." Master Qin said approvingly.

“I cannot take this silver.”

"Why?" Master Qin was stunned.

"After taking the silver, the young lady thought that I sold her out for ten taels of silver." Xiao Cui said with a bitter face.

"Oh, you really have such a hard heart."

Master Qin paced with his hands behind his back, and after a moment he asked, "What does the girl look like? Describe her to me in detail."

"She has a full forehead, big, bright eyes, very clean clothes, and two small braids."

Xiao Cui thought for a moment and added, "At such a young age, she is not afraid of strangers at all. Even when facing a noble lady like the young lady, she is calm and composed. She doesn't look like someone that an ordinary family can raise."

Oh?

It seems that the little girl might really be a talented person, and I seem to have heard the name Tangtang somewhere.

Thinking of this, Master Qin slowly stopped pacing.

He called the housekeeper and asked him to invite Miss Tangtang to his house tomorrow.

After Master Qin gave the order, a mysterious shadow slowly crawled out from the wooden comb in Xiao Cui's hand. It was a young woman wearing a white shroud!

Master Qin, the housekeeper and Xiao Cui turned a blind eye to such a horrifying scene.

The woman in shroud floated out from the hall and came to Qin Sixuan's room.
