Chapter 25

Let's say that Yue'e was about to pack up and go out, and as soon as she opened the door, someone outside asked: "Excuse me, is Mrs. Yao—is it here?" Yue'e was stunned for a moment, and the shopkeeper had already replied: "What , you want to find Mrs. Yao? I don’t know what it is for?” It turned out that the shopkeeper had received Su Qing’s order in advance, and if someone who was waiting to disturb him, he had to ask clearly before talking, so he was so cautious.Su Qing was afraid that Wang Sihu would really get the news and come to haunt him, so he specially ordered it. The shopkeeper won't mention Su Qingyin, because Su Qing is usually very kind and kind, he has saved countless people, and his neighbors are very friendly. Love him, so be sure to sell his face.

When the shopkeeper asked, the man was familiar with the scene and thoughtful. After thinking about it for a while, he understood the meaning, smiled, and said, "It's hard for you to bother, but it's fine if you don't recognize me. I'll tell you Yes, I was entrusted by the mayor to find someone, and I have no malicious intentions."

Not only the shopkeeper was surprised, Yue'e inside also frowned secretly, wondering where this person came from, and what did he mean by being entrusted by the mayor?It can't be because of the Wang family's affairs, the Wang family's divorce letter has been written properly, and there is no reason to go back on it.

At present, Yue'e stood still and just listened.But the shopkeeper also asked in doubt: "How do you say this? The mayor meant it? What is it for?" The man said: "Forget it, I am impatient to say it twice. If you are worried, just take me to see that Miss Yao, I have my own opinion. I will never harm her."

The shopkeeper said in embarrassment: "If you don't explain clearly, how do you know the reason for your old visit? To tell you the truth, the villain is entrusted by others, if there is something wrong with Mrs. Yao, the villain can't bear it."

The man spat and said, "Don't put on such a pitiful look. To tell you the truth, I only came here this time for good deeds and no malicious intentions. Quickly lead the way. If it's too late, the mayor will be furious." Get up, be careful to send someone to blow up your shop!"

After hearing this, the shopkeeper hurriedly said: "You are always short-tempered, and the villain didn't say not to lead the way? It's always good to ask clearly."

The man said with a smile: "Don't gossip, lead the way! After the matter is done, you will benefit."

But all the merchants always put profit first, and the shopkeeper is hindered by the mayor's power on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is moved by his words.Hastily called Xiaoer and led the way.

Yue'e couldn't move forward or retreat at the moment, after thinking about it, she retreated and closed the door.

Sure enough, after a while, someone knocked on the door, and Yue'e said, "Who is it?" The shopkeeper said, "Miss Yao, I have a guest!" Yue'e said, "What's the matter? I don't see anyone. "The shopkeeper said: "The mayor sent someone here for something important." Yue'e was silent, and when the man saw this, he said through the door: "Miss Yao, don't be alarmed, I am here on the order of the mayor." , to ask Mrs. Yao for a matter."

Yue'e was startled, this person actually said the word "Xiangqiu", but she never thought of it in her dreams, what could happen?But the mayor can't be offended.Yue'e thought for a while, then got up, opened the door slightly, took a step back, and said: "In this case, let's invite the distinguished guest to come in and talk."

After the door was opened, the man looked inside, and saw a beautiful young lady standing not far from the door. Simply saying that she is "beautiful and beautiful" is not enough to describe her beauty. She was too frivolous and abrupt, and she always felt immediately lovable at a glance, so she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "No wonder..."

Yue'e heard this abruptly, so she raised her eyes to look at this person, only to see that he was a middle-aged man with a long beard, who was also prudent and mature.And this person looked at Shang Yue'e's eyes, his mind was wandering, and he finally turned around again, and seemed to go around the Jiuchongtian for a moment, and couldn't help sighing.

Seeing that the others were not moving, the shopkeeper said, "My lord, please come in. I'll go get someone to serve tea."

Seeing that the shopkeeper was about to leave, Yue'e hurriedly said: "Shopkeeper, I'm a womanizer, so if it's not good, I'll be alone with men. Please stay and be a witness. Please also invite my younger brother Yao Liang to come."

Seeing that Yue'e's face was upright and her speech was decent, the man was even more surprised.On the way here, I was still apprehensive, seeing Yue'e at this moment, there was no hesitation in the idea of ​​coming here, and I thought happily: "The mayor is really saved." He made up his mind to make this trip come true .

Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, he really stayed and asked the servant to invite Yao Liang. Yue'e retreated back to the bed and sat with her back to the crowd. Yao Liang sat at the table with the shopkeeper and the middle-aged bearded man. on business.

The man didn't dare to look at Yue'e again, he was afraid that he might not be able to take his eyes off him, so he said to Yao Liang: "This is Xiao Lang? You are really handsome, I am very polite."

Although Yao Liang was young, he was used to being greeted and sent off when he was working on the pier earlier, so he naturally knew how to deal with it in the face of officials.Then he cupped his hands slightly, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "The boy is Yao Liang, I don't know what your name is?"

The man saw that Yao Liang answered well, and Yue'e's behavior really complemented Yue'e's previous behavior. He could be regarded as a pair of upright and polite brothers and sisters, so he nodded and smiled, "My name is Zhang Qiao, and I am the clerk next to the mayor."

Yao Liang's eyes moved, and he said hastily, "Excuse me, it turns out to be the Secretary."

Zhang Qiao shook his head with a smile, and said, "Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it."

Yao Liang said: "I don't know what the Secretary is looking for my sister?"

Zhang Qiaocai said: "It turned out to be like this...Xiao Lang also knows that in three days, it will be the annual Christmas of Emperor Ziwei in the North Pole. Christmas, and set up a lottery of 500 taels. If you prepare the best town, you will get the 500 taels bounty, but the bounty is a small matter, and the face of the town is the big thing. In the past few years, the mayors of the six towns all Use all your brains to prepare a good program, in order to win the first prize of the ceremony... This time, the mayor originally prepared the Immortals Conference... Now everyone has all the candidates, only one is missing."

Yao Liang was startled, and asked, "Emperor Ziwei's Christmas celebration? Could it be that the missing person wants my sister to come forward?"

Zhang Qiao said: "Xiao Lang is smart, what he said is right."

Yao Liang shook his head and said, "How did this happen? My sister just got out of court... and she's a woman, how can she show her face so easily?" Yue'e listened with her back, and nodded secretly, feeling that Xiao Liang's insight is really clear.

Zhang Qiao heard this, but said: "No, no, Xiao Lang, you are not often in Tianshui Town, so you only know one thing, but don't know the other. This Christmas of the Great Emperor is not the same. Celebrate the birthday of the Great Emperor, and the blessings are infinite." , the county master has always attached great importance to it, so it is a great honor to be selected for the celebration. Every year at this time, countless townspeople volunteered to participate in it. The immortals prepared by the mayor this time, There are eighteen fairy families in total...the other people who came forward to dress up are also well-known figures from all over the town, most of them are famous people...in order to participate in it, I don't know how much effort they have secretly made."

Zhang Qiao was afraid that he would not believe it, so he said again: "If you don't believe it, just ask the shopkeeper and you will find out."

The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Master Secretary is right, every time the candidates are from rich families... I can only wait in vain." As he spoke, an envious expression appeared on his face .

After hearing this, Yao Liang knew that he was used to working outside and didn't know the atmosphere of Tianshui Town, so he said, "If that's the case, there should be a large number of applicants, why is there a shortage of one person?"

Zhang Qiao said: "Does Xiao Lang know that this person is missing, what role is it, and where is the fairy family?"

Yao Liang shook his head and said, "How do I know this?"

Zhang Qiaotan said: "Actually, other immortal families, such as Tota Heavenly King, Taibai Jinxing... the Jade Emperor, the Queen Mother... are all waiting. There are countless people who have come forward. Only this missing one needs to be treated seriously— ——That is the white-clothed Avalokitesvara."

Yao Liang was startled, and said, "How do you say that?"

Zhang Qiao said: "This is also a headache for the mayor. For other fairy families, you can dress up carefully, and you can see it. Only this white-clothed Avalokitesvara needs a very outstanding woman. The mayor has seen it four times. The picture scrolls submitted by many rich women in Liba Township were not satisfied, and they were delayed again and again until today."

Yao Liang frowned and said, "Then why do you think of my sister?"

Zhang Qiao said: "In fact, there is a person who works in the county government office in Wangjia Village. Seeing that the mayor is thinking about it day and night, he is almost sick, so he couldn't help but say something, what he said is—"If it is Guanyin Ma'am, who else can I look for in this world? Isn't it the little daughter-in-law of the Wang family?"

Yao Liang was silent.Yue'e also frowned in thought.The shopkeeper said in shock, "So that's why you came to see Mrs. Yao?"

Zhang Qiao sighed and said, "I didn't believe it at first, but the mayor was really panicked. Recently, he became depressed and became sick, and he also invited Dr. Su several times... Dr. Su only said that he was worried, so I had no choice but to come here. Unexpectedly, I found out that the Wang family had divorced his wife and Lady Yao was temporarily staying at the inn, so I rushed here, but I didn't expect to meet... Alas, as expected, what that person said was true. Who else?"

As Zhang Qiao spoke, he looked at Yao Liang. Yao Liang frowned and hesitated, but the shopkeeper next to him said, "What else is there to think about? Lady Yao is so outstanding, if she dresses up as the goddess of Guanyin, I don't know what kind of temperament she will have. It is the perfect candidate." Zhang Qiao also nodded, and said, "What do you think of Xiao Lang?" As he spoke, he glanced at Yue'e next to him, but saw Yue'e was still sitting quietly with his back to everyone, she was dressed in plain clothes. It's simple, with black hair tied back, sitting upright like this, it looks even more slender. Although it's just a simple back view, it's more like the person in the painting.

Seeing that Yue'e was silent, Yao Liang said, "The secretary said that we already know about it, but this matter...I have to discuss it with my sister before making a decision."
