"No, no," he waved his hands repeatedly, "I just feel that my third senior brother is very nice, you are also very nice, and the age difference is also..."

Before he could finish speaking, Ni Chenyi interrupted him, "Really?"

"No," he shook his head and said, "I wouldn't even lie to you about losing my head, let alone this kind of thing."

Hearing this, Ni Chenyi calmed down slightly. His slightly immature face was full of fear, and his heart softened. He stretched out his hand to help him wipe away the rice grains stuck to the corner of his mouth. "Don't talk nonsense in the future. I only have sympathy for your third senior brother."

Respect, I don’t have any other ideas.”

"Okay." nodded.

"Okay, don't eat. I'll take you to the Yanbin Building to learn more." Ni Chenyi stood up.

"I'm full." He picked up the porridge bowl and drank the remaining porridge inside. "Why don't we wait until the abbot and the uncles arrive, let's go again."

Ni Chenyi frowned and hesitated, but did not answer immediately.

"Let's do this. You can show me around first, okay?" Discussion.

Ni Chenyi nodded in agreement. Seeing that she was about to take the purse, he quickly took out the copper coins to pay the bill first.

Ni Chenyi has not returned to Chang'an for a long time, but she grew up in Chang'an, and Chang'an has not changed much in the past few years. Ni Chenyi walked in front, giving instructions and introducing the shirtless men unloading rice and grain from the carriage at the door.

The strong men inside are all winery's clerks, and the courtyard inside is the winery where wine is brewed.

The place where the banging sound came from was the oil mill, and the banging sound was the sound of a swinging hammer hitting the oil cake. The only oil that can be pressed at the moment is sesame and beans. Sesame oil is the best oil, very expensive, and only

Only officials and officials can afford it. Soybean oil is not cheap. Only wealthy families can afford it. Most residents and farmers outside the city can only eat animal fat.

There is also a yard where cloths of different colors are hung to dry, which is a dyeing workshop. Dyed cloths are much more expensive than ordinary gray and white cloths.

Those wooden buildings located in the backyards of mansions are mostly embroidered buildings for ladies. Daughters of wealthy families do not go out often on weekdays. They can overlook the surrounding scenery and passers-by from the embroidered buildings.

The monastery with the fragrant smell is a place that sells rouge and gouache. Rouge and gouache is very expensive and is a good gift for women. In addition to rouge and gouache, there are also spices for sale there. None of the four famous fragrances of Shen Tan, Long She and Shen are produced.

From the Central Plains, agarwood is produced in the Annan territory in the south, sandalwood is produced in Tianzhu with the best quality, ambergris is brought by merchants from the Western Regions, and musk is produced in the Andong Protectorate in the northeast.

There are also those large courtyards of wealthy families with plaques hanging on their doors. Those whose official positions are written on them are the current imperial officials, and those whose door plaques say Zhao's Mansion, Qian's Mansion, Sun's Mansion, etc. are outgoing officials or wealthy businessmen.

Ni Chenyi accompanied him from the west city to the east city. When he arrived in the east city, he stopped listening to what Ni Chenyi said because he found that this place was not very far from the abandoned house where Chen Liqiu temporarily stored Miss Zhao's body. He knew that Chen Liqiu had returned.

When he arrived in Shenzhou, he was not sure whether Chen Liqiu successfully took away Miss Zhao's body that day.

Realizing that he was distracted, Ni Chenyi casually asked about the reason, and did not hide anything. He simply said it.

After listening to the speech, Ni Chenyi frowned slightly, pondered for a moment and said, "Go over and have a look, otherwise you will always be thinking about it."

"What if an official is ambushing nearby?" He was worried.

"Probably not," Ni Chenyi said, "Your third senior brother only wants to take away the woman's body.

He was able to act quietly, but once the officers and soldiers were alerted, he would not be able to escape with his body intact. He successfully escaped from Chang'an, which shows that no one knew that he came back after escaping."

After thinking about it, I felt that what Ni Chenyi said made sense, but there were still several nursing homes following from a distance.

Seeing that he turned around, Ni Chenyi understood the idea and ordered a few people to go back home first.

Several people were ordered to protect Ni Chenyi, but they dared to leave Ni Chenyi and return first. Ni Chenyi had no choice but to order them to go back to Baoqing Inn to wait.

They didn't dare to go back to their home, but they dared to wait for them at Baoqing Inn first. After all, the people at home didn't know that they had left Ni Chenyi.

He sent away the nursing attendants and carefully found the broken house with Ni Chenyi, but he did not go in. He only walked slowly behind the house. More than half a month had passed. If the body was still there, it would definitely be decomposed.

odor.

He didn't want to go in, but he finally went in because he really smelled the smell. Since it was autumn and winter, the temperature was low, so the smell was not very strong.

The two of them went in together. When they saw the scene in the room, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Miss Zhao's body had been taken away. The rope that Chen Liqiu used to tie the body that day was also gone. The ones left in the room were also gone.

They are seven blackened and rotten heads.

Ni Chenyi had never seen such a scene before. He covered his mouth and nose and turned around and ran out. Then he followed out and closed the door behind him.

Ni Chenyi did not vomit because of her embarrassment, but her face was very ugly and she leaned against the wall and gasped for air.

Seeing no one around, the two of them left quickly.

When they reached a safe place, Ni Chenyi whispered, "Don't misunderstand me. I really admire your third senior brother. If I have the chance to meet him, I will definitely give him a toast."

"Okay." nodded.

"You said before that there are five of you brothers, what kind of people are the other three?" Ni Chenyi asked.

"The senior brother is straight-tempered, the second senior brother is very calm, and the fourth brother is a woman." He said casually.

"Female?" Ni Chenyi frowned and asked, "What does she look like?"

"She's pretty," he said honestly, "but she doesn't talk much. I haven't said a few words to her."

Ni Chenyi was dubious, tilted his head and looked at her, until he glanced at her impatiently, then he was relieved of his doubts and relieved.

While the two were talking, they returned to the main road and saw a majestic seven-story building not far away. They suddenly thought that the legendary Taiping Inn also had seven floors. When they walked closer, they saw that it was really the Taiping Inn.

"How much do you know about this inn?" he asked in a low voice.

"Quite a few." Ni Chenyi smiled.

Puzzled, he turned to look at her.

Ni Chenyi smiled and said nothing.

"It's not owned by your family, right?" I was shocked.

Ni Chenyi nodded, "But outsiders don't know, not even the shopkeepers here."

"I heard that the big shopkeeper here is a mysterious woman." He said.

Ni Chenyi whispered,

"That's my Qiniang."

"How many wives does your father have?" I was curious.

"Three wives and four concubines, but I only have one child," Ni Chenyi said. "I heard from my father that the reason why I was born was because he asked the Heavenly Master to pray and make a wedding ceremony for my mother to become pregnant."

"No wonder your father wanted to send you to Longhu Mountain to become a Taoist priest." I suddenly realized.

Ni Chenyi shook his head and said, "It's not all because of this. In the past few years, the situation between the DPRK and China was unclear. My father sent me to Longhu Mountain to avoid disaster."

nodded.

Ni Chenyi pointed to the southeast, "This place is not very far from my home. Why don't you go and meet my dad."

"No, no, no," he shook his head repeatedly, "Let's go, go back, go back."

If you don't want to go, Ni Chenyi doesn't force him and follows him to the west, "I don't know what you are thinking. If you have any concerns, then there is no need. I will follow you wherever you go from now on. That's it."

The child will also take your last name..."

Ni Chenyi spoke so bluntly and boldly that she blushed and hurriedly waved her hands and said, "Don't say this, I don't even know my last name."

"No, I have to make it clear to you," Ni Chenyi said, "Don't listen to the wild speculations and slanders of people in the market, saying that the adopted son-in-law is in a miserable situation and suffers discrimination and exclusion. This kind of thing can only happen in a market where people are in a hurry.

Among them, it will never appear in the temple of poetry and calligraphy."

"I know," he said with a nod, "virtue is the foundation and wealth is the last. If you want wealth, you must first cultivate virtue. If your Ni family can be rich in the world, you must be a virtuous person. As the saying goes, if virtue is not matched, there will be disaster.

If you are ungrateful people, you will not be able to afford the world's wealth."

These words touched Ni Chenyi's heart, "When I meet my father the other day, I will say more similar words. This is not to flatter him, but everyone likes to hear those kind words that make people feel comfortable."

He glanced at Ni Chenyi and sighed helplessly.

"You may not like to hear some words," Ni Chenyi said. "The ancients knew etiquette well enough. There may not be all good people in the temple, but there are more bad people in the market."

He smiled bitterly and shook his head, "I don't know what it's like above the temple, but I don't think they want to kill me or eat my cow."

Ni Chenyi did not hide her joy, "Although you were born in poverty, you do not hate the rich. Although you are young, you are sober and fair. I like you more and more."

"Stop praising me," Haosheng said helplessly, "I'm becoming more and more afraid of you."

"Why are you afraid of me?" Ni Chenyi asked with a smile.

"Stop forcing me, I don't even have the heart to practice martial arts now." He shook his head sadly.

"Okay," Ni Chenyi nodded and said, "I seem to have been a little too hasty. From now on, I will discuss everything with you and ask for your opinion, and I will never make any decisions."

I didn't know how to answer the question, so I could only nod.

The two of them walked all the way west for nearly half an hour and finally returned to Baoqing Inn.

Ni Chenyi's entourage had been waiting in the lobby. When they saw the two returning, they hurriedly welcomed them out. The martial artist who had carried the boy back earlier stepped forward and said, "Miss, the injured boy insisted on leaving after he woke up. I can't keep him here, so I will send him away."

He didn't accept his gold, so I could only follow him to his residence.

He lives in Mawang Temple in the north, with an old madman."

Seeing Ni Chenyi frowning, the martial artist hurriedly said, "I asked him his name. His name is Yang Kai and he comes from Yongzhou."

After the martial artist finished speaking, Ni Chenyi turned around and said, "How about we go see him."

Having this in mind, he nodded in agreement.

The two of them left the inn and headed north. When passing by a drug store, they went in and grabbed two sets of medicines. These two sets of medicines cost him a lot of money, because in addition to the healing medicines, they also included ginseng and deer antler, which are great for nourishing qi and blood.
