A slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and Lin Mengya smiled extremely freely.
He raised his head and looked at the sky outside the yard. The clouds were clear and the sky was high. Without this boxy frame, the sky is high and birds can fly.
"Yes, I want to leave. This is not my world after all. I would rather be a free bird in the mountain than a bird in a cage."
Lin Mengya's dark eyes revealed a trace of yearning for freedom.
But Qinghu just curled up the corners of his mouth, regret hidden deep in his eyes.
She didn't even notice it herself. The girl in front of her was dressed in a long gown. She was neither charming nor seductive, but she had ice-cold muscles and a jade soul, which unconsciously attracted people's attention.
Be it him, Xiaoyu, or even the man hiding in Qinwuyuan. They were all attracted by her unconsciously.
How could such a woman hide in the mountains and forests
But, since it is her expectation. Then he might as well give it a try. Even if it just makes her smile and makes her happy for a moment, that's fine.
"Let's go, I'll take you out first."
His big hands hooked up her slender waist, and although he was holding her in his arms, Qinghu's heart didn't feel at all charming.
After activating his inner strength, his clothes fluttered, and the two of them were like light butterflies. I randomly clicked on a few roofs and walls, and landed in the narrow alley in the backyard of the palace.
The breath suddenly surged, and Qinghu's expression changed slightly. He immediately let go of Lin Mengya, turned around and swallowed the sweet blood in his throat.
This damn poison becomes more and more powerful when it comes in.
Lin Mengya looked at Qinghu who turned away, a little worry flashing in her eyes.
His body became even thinner, and this damn guy thought he was hiding well. But how could it escape her eyes and extremely sensitive radar
I remember that the teacher once accidentally mentioned a medicine that could prolong Qinghu's life.
It's a pity that one of the raw materials for the medicine grows on the top of the snow-capped mountains, while the other grows in the extremely hot volcanic crater.
Not to mention it is extremely precious, even if you want to collect it, you will probably have to pay a very heavy price.
And if she wants Qinghu to get well soon, she can only develop Sanjuetang and gather everyone's efforts.
"Hey, what are you doing? Could it be that you are snickering?"
After withdrawing her thoughts, Lin Mengya pretended to be ignorant, pouted her small mouth, and stared angrily at Qinghu with her big eyes.
The sweetness in his throat was finally suppressed, and Qinghu put on his usual proud smile, turned around and looked at the woman in front of him.
"How dare I! If anyone dares to laugh at you, I'm afraid they won't want to live anymore? Although I am not going to die soon, I still cherish it very much."
After a few words of fighting between the two, in the alley behind them, four little girls, already dressed as servants, also drove a carriage over.
"Master, Qinghu, come up quickly. We have to be back before dark."
The beautiful Bai Shao, after putting on men's clothing, is faintly as heroic as a man.
Holding the reins and riding crop in his hands, and wearing only coarse clothes, he really looked like a handsome boy.
This girl is also very capable. She can do things like driving a carriage easily, and she can learn well in just a few days.
"Okay, let's go quickly."
Lin Mengya and Qinghu got into the carriage one after the other. Bai Shao waved his whip, and the light black-covered carriage disappeared into the narrow alley behind the palace.
The streets were decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations everywhere, and people from several surrounding towns came to Kyoto to buy new year's goods.
Lin Mengya, who grew up in the city, was constantly in the carriage watching the people coming and going outside.
Spring couplets, with the word "Fu" and a fat baby holding a carp. These New Year paintings are hung on stalls in the streets and alleys.
The plump melon seeds and the sweet roasted chestnuts, let alone a snack like Bai Zhi, almost couldn't control themselves. Even Lin Mengya wanted to go out and join in the fun after seeing it.
"Stop swallowing your saliva. It makes me want to eat it."
Lin Mengya teased and nodded Bai Zhi's smooth and plump forehead. Seeing this girl's plaintive eyes, everyone smiled and rolled their eyes.
"Don't feel aggrieved. My parents must have prepared everything for us. My mother's craftsmanship is much better than what's sold on the street. You, don't hold on for a while. .”
Baiji also tapped Baiji's forehead. She had told her parents a long time ago that she must prepare more food.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone is just celebrating.
Lin Mengya smiled as she watched her girls get into a fuss, but in her mind, she was thinking about how she and Qinghu could sneak out and go to the countryside to see the real Sanjue Hall.
Because he was wearing men's clothing this time, the carriage could park openly outside the gate of Sanjue Hall.
The group of people got off the carriage. Because it was the Chinese New Year, the business of the drug store was much quieter. Who would buy a lot of medicine during the Chinese New Year
It's pretty much the same as when I came a while ago, except for the addition of a few more medicine cabinets.
As soon as you enter the house, the smell of medicine that fills the room makes you feel refreshed.
Lin Mengya looked at the neatly arranged drug store with great joy. She knew that she had invited Baiji's parents here. It's definitely a wise decision.
There are new workers in the house. Although they are dressed in ordinary clothes, they look like dragons and phoenixes. They are by no means ordinary people.
He immediately raised his smile and came out from the counter smartly.
"How many distinguished guests do you want to know what medicinal materials you need? Our Sanjuetang is well-known in Kyoto for its medicinal ingredients, accurate portions and complete varieties. No matter what medicinal materials you want, just say a word and we will prepare them for you immediately. If it doesn’t exist, just say a word and we will definitely find it for you.”
What this guy said was not just bragging.
It's because Sanjuetang has a very powerful drug collection network. Now, in Kyoto, only Sanjuetang can do this.
Lin Mengya smiled and looked up and down at the waiter in front of her.
Respectful and courteous, but never too condescending. He is a smart little guy. It seems that Father Bai and Aunt Bai are good at choosing people.
After pondering for a while, Lin Mengya slowly spoke:
"I'm here this time because I have a big business deal with your boss and the boss's wife. I don't know. Is it convenient for them to see me?"
As soon as Lin Mengya opened her mouth, she wanted to find the boss, but she really embarrassed the little boy.
However, he was a good person, so he bowed and said:
"When the distinguished guest asks, the store should have accepted it. It's just that my shopkeeper has something important to do. It's not convenient to see the distinguished guest at the moment. You see, if you are really in a hurry, why don't you leave your address at home? Our shopkeeper's After I finish my business, I would like to see you at home, do you think so?"
The guy's attitude is sincere and his ideas are thoughtful. Presumably, no matter what kind of guest they are, they will be appeased.
"What a confused fellow, the person standing in front of you is the owner of this medicine shop. Okay, are my parents in the backyard right now? Go and report them, and say that the master is here to see them."
Seeing the man in trouble, Bai Ji immediately stepped out from behind to help.
Although these were all unfamiliar faces, he recognized the one in front of him.
"It turns out that Miss Baiji is back. The shopkeeper and Aunt Bai are behind you. Just go over there. It's my fault that I didn't recognize the boss for a moment."
Although there was a little embarrassment, the guy just said a few words and got over it.
Lin Mengya was even more impressed. Her eyes fell lightly on this work, and then turned away.
Lifting the small curtain inside, several people walked into the backyard one after another.
As soon as I walked in, the sweet smell of chestnuts roasted in sugar hit my nose.
Bai Zhi sniffed it hard, like a puppy, it looked so cute. Then suddenly his eyes widened and he ran into the yard.
There was a happy smile on her little face, and she was even happier than seeing her own mother.
"Wow! This is so delicious! Aunt Bai, can I try these chestnuts?"
Bai Zhi had already been salivating. Of course Aunt Bai smiled and nodded. The greedy cat peeled off the chestnut skin with her hands and feet, and the golden pulp inside was immediately put into her mouth.
"Oh my God! I have never eaten such delicious sugar-roasted chestnuts. Master, Sister Baiji, Sister Baishao, Sister Baibaisu, come and try it!"
Everyone in the yard was amused by the cuteness of this snack.
Lin Mengya looked around. Although the small courtyard was not as luxurious and luxurious as Liuxinyuan, there was a very warm atmosphere everywhere.
Such a homely life is really how people live.
"Look, this girl is the most flattering to me. Why did the young lady come today without saying anything in advance? Look at the mess in this yard."
Aunt Bai and Lin Mengya were already completely familiar with each other, with a kind face and a sincere smile.
Although she and Father Bai are rough people, they are very thoughtful. I know that this small courtyard is not only a medicine shop, but also a boudoir for these girls. Therefore, pay special attention to everything at all times.
"Sister, you are back! Say hello to the lady."
Several children wearing cotton jackets and trousers ran out of the warm room. At first, they all jumped and screamed around Baiji, but after seeing Lin Mengya, they timidly opened their mouths and said hello according to the rules of their parents.
"What are you doing? Get up, my sister is meeting you for the first time today. I haven't prepared any small gifts. Next time, I will bring you delicious food. It's fun, okay?"
Although the two elders are already in a well-off family, they have enough food, clothing and money. But a few children were still wearing half-new cotton-padded jackets, but they were better than before.
The three children, two boys and one girl, are all tiger-headed and very cute.
Lin Mengya knelt down and touched the three little guys. She felt extremely fond of them.
"You are a lady, so why are you wearing boy's clothes?"
Baiji's second sister, also the youngest child, only has two braids. Shui Ling's big eyes were full of doubts.
