As the saying goes, there are three great joys in life--the time of being named on the gold list, the wedding night in the bridal chamber, and meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land.

The first two items were temporarily out of play for Shen Chuan, but he caught up with the last item. It would be a lie to say he was unhappy.

As the host, he invited Su Xiaoxiao and his party to have dinner at the most famous restaurant in Fucheng—Baiyun Pavilion.

The taste of Baiyun Pavilion is good, shopkeeper Sun has been here several times before.

Shen Chuan has never lost in the aspect of prodigal, so he ordered a large table, all of which were his family's signature dishes.

"Is it delicious?" Shen Chuan asked.

"Delicious." Su Xiao said.

Su Ergou said in his heart: It's obviously not as delicious as yours.

Su Xiaoxiao lost weight and couldn't eat too much, so she almost stopped picking vegetables, and just ate one by one, slowly eating the bean sprouts in the bowl.

Shen Chuan said: "I haven't asked you yet, what business do you come to Fucheng for?"

Su Xiaoxiao said calmly: "Oh, Wang's family catches the Zhou banquet and makes snacks."

Shen Chuan was surprised: "The Wang family? The Wang family in Kaibuzhuang?"

Su Xiaoxiao: "Yes."

Shen Chuan opened his eyes wide: "My God, you are too powerful!"

This is more than okay, it's against the sky, okay?

With all her efforts and calculations, she has only set up a stall for two months, and she has already attracted the attention of the wealthy Wang family.

"Is the price high?" Shen Chuan is not interested in other people's affairs, but is very gossip about Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao said lightly: "Not many, forty or fifty taels."

Shen Chuan was dumbfounded: Forty or fifty taels is not much? You are floating!

Shopkeeper Sun hehe, he smashed a whole room of furniture, and lost fifty taels of money, and paid five taels instead.

Shen Chuan admired him so much: "The Wang family has a very wide network of contacts. You guys also negotiated a lot of other business at his family's banquet, right?"

Su Xiaoxiao wanted to save face: "Well, there is another Zhao family, and the Jiyan banquet is coming. I don't remember the other two."

Shopkeeper Sun continued to hehe, yes, I took it, but it was all yellow.

-

After dinner, it was still early.

Shen Chuan wanted to take her around Fucheng, but she shook her head and refused: "I have to go to Qingyun Nunnery to deliver something for someone."

Speaking of this, it is not easy for Shen Chuan to force him to stay.

But when he went to check out, he was told that the account had already been settled.

Shen Chuan looked at the carriage gradually driving away, and felt a little uncomfortable: "I'm the host..."

-

"Grandma, creditor, boss, what should I call you?"

On the carriage, shopkeeper Sun smiled, "I lost five taels, and the table was five taels just now. We have a negative profit of ten taels for the day. Are you burning too much money? Let me pay you back if you want more." Twenty taels?"

Su Xiaoxiao glanced at him faintly: "Dare to pay back a copper coin, try it!"

She felt that Shen Chuan's life in Fucheng was not as comfortable as imagined.

-

At that time, the carriage arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Qingyun nunnery is located halfway up the mountain, they climbed for more than half an hour, and finally entered the nunnery near Youshi.

Shopkeeper Sun was panting with exhaustion: "I knew... I knew I was so tired... I would accompany Xiao Wu... rest in the carriage... What am I going to do... I want to join in the fun with you two..."

Su Xiaoxiao was also panting, but not as badly as him.

Fighting with a tiger last time seemed to have broken through the limit of physical fitness, and she could feel that her physical fitness had been raised to another level.

Su Ergou was alive and kicking, looking around non-stop.

The nunnery was not like a bustling market place, it was quiet, and he felt bored after just two glances.

Qingyun Nunnery is quite old, and the bricks and tiles are simple and old, exuding traces of erosion by the years. There are a lot of green moss growing on the bluestone boards in the corners, which will slippery in rainy days.

Su Xiaoxiao entered the gate of the nunnery.

A little nun who was sweeping the courtyard raised her head to look at them: "Benefactor, are you here to offer incense?"

Su Xiaoxiao took out a letter from her pocket: "I'm looking for Mrs. Huijue, an old man surnamed Fu asked me to bring something to her. This is a letter from that old man. Mrs. Huijue knew it was right after reading it. Who is it?"

"Oh...the benefactor, please wait a moment." The little nun put down the broom, took the letter and walked through the hall, and went to the meditation room in the back row.

After a while, she turned back and said to Su Xiaoxiao, "Benefactor, please come inside."

In a meditation room, Su Xiaojian picked up a teacher who was about the same age as Aunt Fu.

I don't know if it was because of the monks, but she looked very peaceful and peaceful.

"Master Huijue." Su Xiaoxiao greeted.

Mrs. Huijue was sitting at the table. She put down Mrs. Fu's letter, and gave Su Xiaoxiao a gentle look: "Master Su, please sit down."

Su Xiaoxiao sat down opposite her.

Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised that she could call out her own surname, presumably Aunt Fu mentioned it in her letter.

Master Huijue smiled too: "Ting Lan asked you to come? How has she been this year?"

Ting Lan?

Madam Fu's name?

Strange nice to hear.

Su Xiaoxiao said: "I have just met Mrs. Fu not long ago. I dare not say it in the past year. In the past two months... she has been fine. She broke her leg at home a few years ago. She is fine now."

Master Huijue shook his head too: "I know she will report good news but not bad news! Is it really all right?"

"Well, I'm recovering very well." Su Xiao.

It is indeed recovering well, the splint can be removed in half a month, the blood pressure is under control, and the relationship with the neighbors is harmonious.

Aunt Fu is living a happy life now.

Master Huijue looked at Su Xiaoxiao very gently, she could feel from the other person's expression that Ting Lan was doing well.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't stay in the meditation room for too long, she talked about Aunt Fu's recent situation, and handed the health-preserving pills that Aunt Fu asked her to bring to Mrs. Huijue.

After Mrs. Huijue accepted it, she wrote back a letter to Mrs. Fu, and asked some young nuns to fetch some big bags.

Su Xiaoxiao opened it and took a look.

Good guy, it's all high-quality tea and dry goods!

Are all the good things that Danny Love Fu got from Mrs. Huijue?

Then a new question arises, how did Mrs. Huijue, who has lived in the deep mountains for a long time, get so many high-quality tea leaves and dry goods?

I always feel that this teacher is too simple...

Master Huijue also gave Su Xiaoxiao a bag of tea.

Su Xiaoxiao has to rush back to the inn, it is not suitable to stay for a long time, and after thanking her, she bid farewell to Mrs. Huijue.

Master Huijue suddenly felt reluctant to let go: "Actually, it's getting late. If you don't mind, little benefactor Su, you can stay in the nunnery."

When the little nuns in the room heard this, they all opened their mouths in shock.

The teacher actually stayed with a small benefactor?

You obviously don't even see the pilgrims!

If Su Xiaoxiao was alone, she wouldn't mind, but Su Ergou and shopkeeper Sun couldn't stay in the nunnery, so she couldn't leave Ergou.

"Sorry, I went up the mountain with my brother and a shopkeeper."

Su Xiaoxiao tactfully expressed her refusal.

Master Huijue knew it too well, so he no longer insisted on staying, but just said to Su Xiaoxiao: "Little benefactor Su, if you come to Fucheng next time, can you come and talk to the poor nun again?"

Su Xiaoxiao was a little surprised.

She replied: "Okay."

--

Su Xiaoxiao left Master Huijue's yard.

Before leaving, she left a box of homemade snacks for Mrs. Huijue.

Su Ergou and Shopkeeper Sun went somewhere, Su Xiaoxiao didn't see them, but saw an unexpected... acquaintance.

It's not appropriate to say acquaintances.

After all, we only met once at noon today.

"Little master, please pass it on to me."

Who is this man who is polite to the little nun in the nunnery if he is not the master of Futai?

Li Futai did not have such a humble attitude in the Wang family.

The little nun said: "The master has ordered that all pilgrims will not be seen. If I pass it on for you, I will be scolded!"

It's not Mrs. Huijue who Li Futai asked to see, right?

Su Xiaoxiao squinted her eyes, walked past the two calmly.

Li Futai is not blind, suddenly a figure came to meet him, and he came out of Mrs. Huijue's courtyard.

He immediately said: "Isn't there a pilgrim going in?"

After speaking, he realized something was wrong, and turned his head.

"It's you?!"

Su Xiaoxiao stopped in astonishment, turned around and looked at Li Futai.

"Oh, Lord Li! Disrespect for the daughter of the people!"

Your arrogant attitude is not disrespectful at all!

Li Futai looked at Su Xiaoxiao in astonishment, not understanding why she could come out of Mrs. Huijue's yard.

"you--"

Su Xiaoxiao said at the same time as him: "Is Mrs. Li also here to see Mrs. Huijue?"

and also?

Has this girl really seen that one? !

Li Futai was shocked!

"for……"

He wanted to ask the little nun, why?

The little nun ran away cleverly!

Only he and this little fat village girl were left on the lawn.

He changed his humility just now, and showed a superior look: "How did you get in?"

Su Xiaoxiao said: "The one who walked in, is it possible to climb?"

Li Futai choked.

This girl!

"I'm asking you, why did the teacher agree to see you?"

"Maybe I look better?"

Li Futai: "...!!"

At this moment, another little nun came out with a sack of dry goods in her arms: "Little benefactor Su, where is your carriage? I and my senior sisters will take you down the mountain."

Su Xiaoxiao hurriedly said: "No need, my brother will come back later, we will take down the mountain by ourselves."

Li Futai was even more surprised: "These things are..."

Su Xiaoxiaofeng said calmly: "Oh, it was sent by the teacher."

Although it was not given to her alone.

Which one not only met this girl, but also gave her something?

Li Futai's expression suddenly became very exciting.

Su Xiaoxiao deliberately said: "Oh, Master Futai also wants to see the teacher?"

"I..." Li Futai just wanted to take the opportunity to ask those little nuns, but all the little nuns disappeared!

Pilgrims, they are professionals!

Li Futai clenched his fists, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly: "You... go and tell the teacher, I ask to see you."

"Master Li is ordering me?" Su Xiaoxiao smiled faintly, "My leg hurts and I can't walk."

"You moved the official's son, and the account book officer hasn't settled with you yet! Don't be ignorant of flattery!"

Su Xiaoxiao turned around and left!

"you come back!"

Su Xiaoxiao kept walking forward one step at a time!

Li Futai's fists were clenched and rattled: "You scumbag!"

Su Xiaoxiao stepped out of the nunnery with one foot.

"Excuse me!"

He bit out two words between his teeth.

Su Xiaoxiao stepped on the threshold, did not look back, but stretched out a finger.

"do what?"

"Travel expenses, Bai, do you want to send a message?"

Li Futai gave Su Xiaoxiao a hard look, took out a silver ingot from his bosom, walked to the door, and handed it to Su Xiaoxiao coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao shook her finger in disgust: "One hundred taels!"

Li Futai was startled: "Why don't you go grab it!"

Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Then I'll go."

Li Futai was so angry that he gritted his teeth and took out a silver bill of one hundred taels.

Su Xiaoxiao took the banknote and really went to see Master Huijue.

Soon, she came out with her head held high.

Li Futai couldn't hide his excitement and asked: "You brought the words? What did the teacher say?"

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her hand and made a hand gesture.

With a sullen face, Li Futai took out another one hundred taels of silver note, and slapped it on her palm!

Su Xiaoxiao continued to make gestures.

Li Futai gritted his teeth and took out another one.

It wasn't until four cards were taken out that Su Xiaoxiao reluctantly stopped.

She said indifferently: "Master said...not seen!"

Li Futai: "!!!"
