"What is this?" Yu Xiaoxiao stretched her head to look at the thin copper sheet in Gu Xinglang's hand. ..
Gu Xinglang said: "Xiaoxiao, where is your bell?"
Yu Xiaoxiao took a string of bells out of her belt and asked Gu Xinglang, "What do you want the bells for?"
Gu Xinglang compared the hollowed-out patterns on the thin copper sheet with those on the copper bell and said, "They are exactly the same."
Yu Xiaoxiao took a look, took out a thin copper sheet from the bag, and nodded, "It looks the same."
Gu Xinglang sat on the ground and pieced together the broken thin copper pieces. A small copper bell, only half the size of a finger joint, was quickly pieced together by Gu Shao.
"This thing should be very important to the Eternal Life Temple," Yu Xiaoxiao half-knelt, holding her chin with her hand and said to Gu Xinglang: "What is it used for?"
Gu Xinglang stuffed the string of bells back into Yu Xiaoxiao's belt and carefully put the thin copper piece into his pocket.
Yu Xiaoxiao held two golden grains in her hand and said, "I'll ask Mo Wen, but he definitely won't tell me."
Gu Xinglang looks at his wife, is there anything else to say?
Yu Xiao: "Forget it, we have to go to Zhuri to see Wuhuan anyway, we can ask Wuhuan then."
Gu Xinglang stood up, pulled Yu Xiaoxiao up from the ground, looked at the busy alley, and whispered, "Mo Wen, if Zhuque comes, things will change again. Let's go back to the inn."
Yu Xiaoxiao was pulled away by Gu Xinglang and asked, "How will things change?"
Gu Xinglang stood at the entrance of the alley and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: "Do you still want to eat fried dough twist?"
Yu Xiaoxiao looked in the direction where Gu Xinglang's finger was pointing. Not far away there was a small stall selling fried dough twists, with a pot of hot oil sizzling.
"Would you like to eat?" Gu Xinglang asked.
"Eat," Yu Xiaoxiao nodded. Mo Wen could not affect her mood for eating.
Just when Gu Xinglang was buying fried dough twists for Yu Xiaoxiao, a guard stood in front of Jing Mo and whispered, "Master, Abbot Mo Wen of the Eternal Life Temple has entered Chiyang City."
After hearing this report, Jing Mo sat in the teacher's chair for a long time without saying anything.
The guard looked up at Jing Mo cautiously.
"Got it." Jing Mo looked at his guard and said, "You leave first."
The guard answered yes, took a step back and was about to leave, but then he heard Jing Mo calling him, so he quickly turned around to face Jing Mo and bowed to listen to his orders.
"Withdraw all the people guarding outside Long Ning and Long Lu Mansions," Jing Mo whispered.
The guard was shocked, but didn't dare to ask any more questions. He just took the order and left.
Jing Mo sat alone in the room, staring at the snow-covered garden outside the window in a daze, until Yu Xiaoxiao pushed the door and walked in.
Yu Xiaoxiao turned her head to look at the open window and said, "Jingmo, what are you looking at?"
Jing Mo smiled and said, "I didn't see anything."
Yu Xiaoxiao put the fried dough twist in her hand on the coffee table next to Jing Mo and said generously, "It's still hot, try it."
Jing Mo looked at this street snack and said, "What is this? Mahua?"
Yu Xiaoxiao nodded, chewing the fried dough twist with a crunching sound.
Jing Mo had never eaten this kind of snack before. He took a small twisted dough stick, bit half of it and put it into his mouth. After chewing and swallowing, he felt that the taste was okay, so he put the remaining half into his mouth.
Yu Xiaoxiao watched Jing Mo eat the fried dough twist. Of course, she ate it faster, eating one in her mouth and holding another in her hand. Her Royal Highness the Princess said to Jing Mo, "Xiao Gu doesn't like it."
Jing Mo still smiled and said, "It tastes a bit sweet."
Yu Xiaoxiao muttered, "Flour tastes sweet."
Gu Xinglang sat aside and poured himself a glass of water, but did not drink it. He just moistened his lips which were a little dry from the wind.
Jing Mo said: "Princess, Qinghui, and Mo Wen have also come to Chiyang City."
Yu Xiao: "You know that too?"
Jing Mo was a little surprised and said, "You already know about this?" After his guards saw Mo Wen and his group in front of the North City Gate, they hurried back to report to him. Could it be that these two also arranged people at the North City Gate?
Gu Xinglang said: "We ran into him on the street."
Jing Mo said: "On the street?"
"Yeah," Yu Xiaoxiao said while chewing a dough twist, "He was shopping, and Xiao Gu and I were also shopping, and then we bumped into each other."
This kind of fate left Jing Mo speechless. It seemed like he could meet these people wherever he went.
Yu Xiaoxiao patted the coffee table.
Jing Mo thought that the princess was going to be angry, but she slapped the tea table, then turned her face and took the teapot to drink water. Jing Mo had to swallow his words to comfort Yu Xiaoxiao and smiled, then looked at Gu Xinglang and asked, "You bumped into Mo Wen, is everything okay?"
Gu Xinglang shook his head.
Yu Xiao: "It's nothing, I stole his purse."
Jing Mo...
Gu Xinglang said at this time: "It's not much money."
"Hey," Yu Xiaoxiao said with a long tone, "more than twenty small gold nuggets."
Gu Xinglang said: "That's called golden barley."
Yu Xiaoxiao looked at Jing Mo and smiled, then said, "Poor, I've never seen this before, I don't know what it's called."
Jing Mo lowered his head and drank a glass of water. He wanted to laugh, but he felt that he was not in the mood to laugh at the moment. The person in front of him actually robbed Mo Wen's money! Mo Wen has lived to such an old age, and he may not have thought that one day he would be robbed, right? Thinking of this, Jing Mo couldn't help but laugh, as if his mood was not so heavy and nervous.
Seeing Jing Mo smile, Yu Xiaoxiao said, "You should be happy for me, but if you tell me that everyone who sees it has a share, that's too much."
Jing Mo didn't understand what Yu Xiaoxiao said and looked at Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang pinched the teacup with his fingers, unable to tell what he was thinking. He said in a very flat tone: "The princess means that we should not share the gold barley."
Jing Mo...
Yu Xiaoxiao pushed the fried dough twist toward Jing Mo and said, "Jing Mo, you are not short of money anyway, eat the fried dough twist, Xiao Gu paid for it."
Jing Mo sighed and said, "I don't think the Fengtian royal family is poor at all."
"Poor," Yu Xiaoxiao said hurriedly, "My father has so many women to support, how could he not be short of money?"
It seems that every emperor has a lot of women to support?
Jing Mo drank half a cup of tea and decided not to discuss this topic with Yu Xiaoxiao. They couldn't agree on this topic. "I withdrew the people guarding outside Long Ning and Long Lu Mansion," Jing Mo said to Gu Xinglang.
Gu Xinglang nodded. Mo Wen said that with this person protecting them, they couldn’t do anything to the Dragon Princess’ lineage even if they wanted to.
Yu Xiaoxiao asked: "Who?"
"Long Ning is the Second Emperor," Gu Xinglang said, "Long Lu is the Fifth Emperor."
Jing Mo said: "You don't know who they are?"
Yu Xiaoxiao felt that Jing Mo was being too surprised, so she looked at Jing Mo and said, "Why should I care what name a person has nothing to do with me?"
After hearing what Yu Xiaoxiao said, Jing Mo asked inexplicably: "But you know my name."
Yu Xiao: "You are Jing Mo."
Young Master Gu felt very depressed after hearing this, but Emperor Jing felt inexplicably happy.
