Night is coming.
Lanterns were hung in the mansion.
When Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin returned, Qin Wenzhen and his wife and Qin's second brother were talking in the living room, and there was no one else there.
Qin Weimo asked doubtfully: "Where's my brother?"
Qin Chuan said helplessly: "Today is not a holiday, and the academy does not allow us to go out. I talked to my eldest brother for a while and told him everything. He said he would go to the teachers and classmates in the school to ask."
Qin Wenzheng said: "Your eldest brother only has one vacation a month. He has already used it this month. He can only come back next month."
Qin Weimo was a little disappointed: "Brother hasn't even met my brother-in-law yet."
When Song Ruyue heard this, her face suddenly became serious. She was about to scold him, but Miss Qin Er quickly said, "It's not my brother-in-law, it's Brother Qingzhou."
Then he quickly changed the subject and said, "Did you see Sister Meijiao? She ran in covered in lime."
Song Ruyue glared at her and said, "Go to the back to take a shower."
Then he asked again: "Did that girl fight with someone again?"
Qin Weimo told what he had just seen on the street and couldn't help laughing: "Second brother, when you fight with others, do you use lime?"
Qin Chuan immediately sneered and said, "What do you think of my second brother? When my second brother fights, he naturally relies on his real skills. Most warriors would not bother to use such despicable means, as they would be laughed at by others."
"oh."
Qin Weimo said "Oh" and glanced at someone next to him.
Qin Wenzheng said in a deep voice: "I went to the medicine gardens in the outer and inner cities today to ask, but those herbs were not available. I only found out about Nine-leaf Grass, and the owner of the medicine garden said that Nine-leaf Grass is not a herb, but a poison. It grows in the valley of the Yunwu Mountains outside the city and is rarely seen in other places."
"Cloudy Mountains?"
Qin Weimo frowned slightly when he heard this: "When I came to Kyoto, I looked at the map of the area nearby, and also heard Sister Meijiao talk about the Yunwu Mountains. I heard that the environment there is harsh, with not only poisonous insects and fierce beasts, but also demonic beasts. Apart from warriors going on missions, few people would go there."
Qin Chuan immediately volunteered, "I'm looking for a place to hone my combat skills, so leave the Nine-Leaf Grass to me. I'll pick more each time and plant them in the garden, so I can go directly to the garden to pick them in the future."
Qin Wenzheng glanced at him and sighed, "Can you stop being so stupid?"
Qin Chuan: “???”
Qin Wenzheng said coldly: "Do you think any plant can be grown in a garden? This kind of poison that grows in the valley must rarely see sunlight and is very picky about the environment and soil. Otherwise, how could it only grow in the valley there? Where's your brain?"
Qin Chuan said awkwardly: "That's fine, at most I can go pick them three times a month."
Qin Wenzheng hesitated for a moment and said, "This is the only way."
Song Ruyue asked anxiously, "Master, where are the other medicines? Haven't you found out about them yet?"
Just as Qin Wenzheng was about to speak, Nangong Meijiao's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "The Blood of the Vermillion Sinner is only found in Qingyun Temple. The Nine-Leaf Grass is indeed in the Deep Valley of Yunwu Mountain. I don't know about the Fire Fox Tears for now. My father said that this kind of spiritual object is very rare now. As for the Mysterious Sky Jade Girl Tree, it can be found in the inner city."
Upon hearing this, Song Ruyue quickly stood up and asked, "Mei Jiao, are these things hard to get?"
Nangong Meijiao changed into a purple dress and walked in gracefully. The lime on her hair and body had been washed clean.
I don't know what I used, but all the water stains on my hair were dried up.
She pondered for a moment and said, "They are indeed difficult to obtain. Nine-leaf grass requires taking great risks and going to the deep valley of the Cloud Mountain Range to find it, but relatively speaking, it is the easiest because you don't have to ask anyone for help. As for Zhuyan blood, Qingyun Temple needs to find a way. That ancient monster is the guardian beast of Qingyun Temple. It is not easy to get blood from it. Even if the people of Qingyun Temple agree, I guess no one would dare to touch the ancient beast. After all, it has a bad temper and is very powerful."
"Fire Fox Tears is the most difficult, because we have no idea where this ancient spiritual object can be found. We can only look for it in places with volcanoes."
"As for the Mysterious Sky Jade Girl Tree..."
Nangong Meijiao paused when she spoke here, looked at someone beside Miss Qin Er, and said, "My father told me that there is a tree in Prince Duan's house. But except for his daughter, no one else can get close to it, and it is impossible for others to take a look at it."
"Prince Duan?"
Qin Wenzheng was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly reacted and said, "Is it the person I met at Jinchan Temple yesterday?"
Nangong Meijiao nodded and said, "It's him."
Qin Wen Zheng suddenly fell into deep thought.
Nangong Meijiao looked at Luo Qingzhou and said, "He stole your poem at Jinchan Temple yesterday and owes you a favor. So you need to do this. I can take you to visit him. He should be very happy to see you. As for what to do next to get the morning dew of the Xuantian Jade Girl Tree, it depends on you."
After a pause, she said coldly: "Since you like Wei Mo, I believe you can do it."
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment. Before he could speak, Song Ruyue suddenly said worriedly, "That Prince Duan seems to have ill intentions towards Qingzhou. Meijiao, you have to help Weimo keep an eye on him."
Nangong Meijiao said, "Aunt, if he is indecisive, I can't do anything about it. Prince Duan's daughter is only nine years old. If he really wants to marry into the family, he will be a child husband. If he is willing to degenerate, he can do it."
Song Ruyue's face was filled with anxiety.
Qin Wenzheng changed the subject: "Tomorrow morning, we will go to Qingyun Temple and try our luck. The day after tomorrow morning, Meijiao, you help take Qingzhou to visit Prince Duan, I will prepare some gifts. The day after tomorrow, Chuan'er will go out of the city to Yunwu Mountain Range to look for Nine-Leaf Grass. As for Fire Fox Tears, let's first ask where there is a volcano, etc..."
"I have Firefox Tears."
Luo Qingzhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Nangong Meijiao frowned and said coldly: "Where do you have Fire Fox Tears? Do you know what a Fire Fox is? It is not an ordinary fox, but an ancient spiritual creature."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a friend..."
"Come on, where did your friend come from?"
Song Ruyue rolled her eyes and said, "How can you make friends when you stay at home all day?"
Qin Wenzheng immediately glared at her and said, "Don't interrupt. Let Qingzhou finish."
Song Ruyue had no choice but to shut her mouth.
Luo Qingzhou said, "I met a friend when I was studying in Mo City. He moved to Kyoto two years ago. I remember hearing him mention that he had a fire fox at home. When I have time, I will go look for him, maybe I can find him."
After hearing this, Nangong Meijiao wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but she was afraid of embarrassing him and disappointing everyone, so she had to endure it.
Qin Wenzheng also knew that this was unreliable, but he still said: "Qingzhou, then you can give it a try. It's better to have hope than no hope."
Luo Qingzhou nodded.
Miss Qin Er glanced at him and said nothing.
The few of them discussed for a while about going to Qingyun Temple tomorrow, and then Nangong Meijiao said goodbye.
Zhu'er supported Miss Qin Er and walked her all the way to the gate.
Nangong Meijiao got on the carriage and stuck her head out of the carriage and said, "Wei Mo, Kyoto is too prosperous, materialistic, and people's hearts are fickle, especially those scholars. You have to be careful."
Qin Weimo smiled slightly and said, "Well, thank you Sister Meijiao."
Then he suddenly said, "By the way, Sister Meijiao, we saw Sister Xueyi in the bookstore today. Sister Xueyi asked my brother-in-law to tell her a story, and she cried while listening to the story. She also said that she wanted to go out of town and listen to my brother-in-law's stories for several days and nights."
Nangong Meijiao was stunned when she heard this, then her face changed slightly and she said in a cold voice: "Don't take him to the bookstore again, and don't let him see Xue Yi again."
Qin Weimo said innocently, "It was Sister Xueyi who kept talking about wanting to meet my brother-in-law. If Sister Xueyi wants to meet him in the future, I can't refuse."
Nangong Meijiao said coldly: "I will go back and warn her."
After saying that, he closed the curtains and urged the coachman to hurry up.
"drive!"
The carriage quickly left the alley and disappeared into a cloud of dust.
Qin Weimo looked at the empty alley and stood there for a while before muttering, "Brother-in-law, I'm sorry... One is dangerous enough. If there's another one, I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it."
Night fell.
The mansion was in complete darkness.
Qiu'er and Xiaodie came to the front yard to meet them, carrying lanterns.
Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin Er each had their own thoughts as they walked side by side without speaking.
When they arrived at Meixiang Garden, Luo Qingzhou said, "Second Miss, I want to go into the house and talk to you, is that okay?"
Qin Weimo smiled when he heard that, and took his hand directly and said: "At this time, Brother Qingzhou still has to be so polite to Weimo? Not to mention going into the house to talk, even if Brother Qingzhou sleeps there tonight, it's fine."
Luo Qingzhou turned around and glanced at the other maids.
Xiaodie and Qiu'er immediately looked away and pretended not to hear.
Zhu'er continued to look at him.
Miss Qin Er suddenly said, "Zhu'er, go to your mother and come back later, or tomorrow morning."
Zhu'er's face changed, and she hurriedly cried, "Miss, I was wrong. I didn't hear anything, and I didn't see anything."
As he said this, he hurriedly covered his eyes, turned his body and continued to beg.
Miss Qin Er then said, "Come in and make some tea."
Zhu'er hurriedly agreed and covered her eyes as she walked into the courtyard.
Luo Qingzhou supported Miss Qin Er and walked in.
Qiu'er and Xiaodie also followed in, but they lowered their heads, looking at the ground, without looking away.
"Second Miss, come into the room. I'll show you something good."
"Brother-in-law, what good stuff?"
"Call me brother."
"Good brother, what good stuff?"
"Just call me Brother Qingzhou."
"Good brother, good brother..."
Luo Qingzhou pulled her into the house, closed the door, and then went over to close the window, saying, "Good sister... Bah, Second Miss, don't scream if you see it later, cover your mouth first."
Miss Qin was stunned for a moment, then she covered her mouth, two blushes appeared on her cheeks, and she looked at him with wide eyes.
Luo Qingzhou rubbed his hands together, and with a "whoosh" a red shadow flashed, and a little fox with fiery red fur appeared.
Just as the little fox was about to open its mouth to show its sharp fangs, he grabbed its mouth, then raised his fist and started punching its stomach fiercely.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
After being punched dozens of times, the little fire fox rolled its eyes and looked like it was about to vomit but couldn't.
Luo Qingzhou glanced at its eyes and saw that there were still no tears in them, so he raised his fist and continued to beat it.
The little fire fox began to make "chirp chirp" sounds for mercy.
