The fat horse puffed and pawed its hooves, looking quite motivated.
Xiao Cunyu got on the horse, and the fat horse also gathered its strength and started to run, but not very fast.
Xiao Cunyu did not rush to the academy, but strolled on the street first. Many people stared at her. She knew that she had become completely famous since the day at the orphanage. And because she was so easy to recognize, even ordinary people knew what she looked like!
After walking several streets, Xiao Cunyu finally stopped near a jade shop.
He walked into the alley next to it, looked at the big willow tree behind the jade shop, and pointed at the ghost swinging on the swing above and said, "Come down."
Ghosts flew back and forth, and the willow branches that had not yet sprouted swayed.
"Come down, this young master will ask you a few questions. After you answer, I will burn something for you later." Xiao Cunyu said to the ghost again.
The ghost was then certain that the man was talking to him.
He floated in front of Xiao Cunyu in a daze and looked into her eyes.
"Are you looking for me?" The ghost found it unbelievable. He knew this young man!
He stayed near the shop every day and heard many people coming in and out talking. He kept hearing those living people say that Minister Xiao's nephew was the most handsome man in the capital and had a priceless sword hanging around his waist!
"Yes." Xiao Cunyu nodded. "If you help me, I'll do something for you, okay?"
"Okay!" The ghost responded straightforwardly.
"Okay, have you seen this gold sticker? Do you know who spread it?" Xiao Cunyu asked directly.
The ghost looked around carefully, and after a long while, he thought: "I didn't see who scattered it, but many people are holding this thing today... You can go ask the night-wandering ghost, he knows a lot, and no one knows better than him what happened in the middle of the night! I only know a night-wandering ghost, do you want me to take you to find it?" the ghost said again.
"Okay." Xiao Cunyu nodded. "But my time is limited, so I won't be back for a while. You should be a relative of the owner of this jade shop, right? If your conditions are related to the family in the shop, I can convey them to you now."
When the other party heard this, he was really happy.
"The shopkeeper is my father. I was unlucky. I fell and hit my head and died. My father was grieving for a long time. Fortunately, my brothers and sisters took care of my father, so he didn't have a miserable old age. But when I was alive, I was too naughty. I secretly took my father's treasure, a piece of stone that hadn't been polished yet... My father searched for a long time but couldn't find it... I hid it under the big willow tree. Let my father dig it up!"
With that stone, his father's jade shop would be able to make a lot more money.
Xiao Cunyu agreed immediately.
After entering, I saw a man in his fifties or sixties. He had a kind and amiable face. Perhaps because he had experienced the pain of losing his son, he usually did a lot of good deeds to accumulate merits. He looked like a good person.
"Your deceased son and I were good friends. Before he died, he wrote to me and told me that he had hidden your family's treasure under a willow tree and asked you to dig it out yourself." Xiao Cunyu, his good friend, never tires of hearing what he said.
The shopkeeper was also a little confused.
Or is it a guest?
However, when it came to the store's treasure, the shopkeeper became a little anxious.
Xiao Cunyu walked quickly, and the shopkeeper ignored his words. He immediately called his youngest son over, and the two of them went to dig behind the house. Sure enough, not long after, they really found the lost jade.
For a moment, I felt extremely emotional.
