Chapter 148
During the few months in Changjing, I have gained a lot.

Speaking of which, what he did in Changjing was often done in Yinyang Mountain.

Practitioners of the Tao should exorcise evil spirits and demons, and this has nothing to do with the practice of Taoism, no matter how high the Taoism is.When they were in Yinyang Mountain, they would also go down the mountain to relieve the villagers from disasters and bring some peace of mind at the request of the people.

It's just that the money earned in Yinyang Mountain is not as much as here.

There are a lot of rich people in Changjing. Even if they are poor, as long as they live in the city, they usually have far more water in their hands than the self-sufficient villagers at the foot of Yinyang Mountain.In Yinyang Mountain, sometimes you can’t get any money, and you can only receive a small bag or half a bag of millet. Fortunately, they have experience, and they will bring a sack when they go down the mountain. Otherwise, they will use the villagers’ bag to carry up the mountain. I still have to return it to others.

Sometimes you can’t even harvest food, you can only receive rice and wheat stalks. You have to wait until summer and autumn, when the people at the foot of the mountain harvest, they will deliberately leave a clump on the edge of the field, and you have to cut it yourself.

To be honest, Fulong Temple is not bad for this kind of wheat, but Song You also has to cut it every year.

In addition to money, Changjing has other gains.

The foot of Yinyang Mountain is full of farmers and poor people. Although there are hundreds of people with one mind, they are not as diverse as those in Changjing.There are both rich and poor people in Changjing. They can meet gardeners in the single room of the shop and house, talk to generals in the courtyard allocated by the government, and meet the servants in the court, even the ministers, and all kinds of things. Stranger.

But the biggest achievement today is the painting.

No matter who painted this painting, in terms of skill alone, it is already rare in the world, and the court painter must not be as good as him.

Too bad I couldn't watch it twice.

Under the scorching sun, Song You walked back to Liuye Street in Xicheng while thinking.

From a distance, I saw half a small head protruding from the second floor, glanced at myself, and quickly put it back.

The Taoist pretended not to see it.

When I got home, the door was not closed, and I walked up to the second floor, but I saw a three-colored cat instead of a little girl. The sand table on the desk was flat, and the willow branches were placed next to it. Even the orientation was the same as before.

This cat is smart.

"Miss Sanhua didn't secretly practice calligraphy at home, did she?" The Taoist asked the cat lying by the window with half-closed eyes.

"Well……"

The cat opened its mouth and yawned, then stretched its limbs, its paws stained with yellow sand blossomed, and then turned to look at the Taoist:
"What did you say?"

"It can be seen that Mistress Sanhua didn't practice calligraphy at home. Thinking about it, it is true. With Mistress Sanhua's talent, not practicing calligraphy is already great, and there is really no need to practice more." Taoist said to Mao'er, who was also by the window She sat down on the long couch, thought for a while and asked, "Empress Sanhua has to cultivate, catch mice, and learn to write. I'm afraid she is already very tired?"

"Not tired!"

"Aren't you tired?"

"Not tired!"

"It seems that Empress Sanhua really can't use up all her energy." Song You nodded, "This is just right. After learning how to read, you need to learn arithmetic. I also said that Empress Sanhua must be tired. If you learn more I'm afraid I can't handle a single arithmetic, but now that I think about it, I still underestimated Mistress Sanhua. Since that's the case, why don't I teach Mistress Sanhua how to count tonight."

"..."

The three-flowered cat kept its lying position, only raised its head, and stared at him. After a while, it said, "Did you go out and catch ghosts?"

"Not hunting ghosts."

"Catch monsters!"

"No." Song You shook his head, "It's just that the painting is so real that it scares people."

"Did you catch the painting then?"

"I just used magic to isolate the aura and vitality of the painting, lest it stare at people in the middle of the night." Song You replied truthfully.

"Have you made any money?"

"Earned."

"How much did you earn?"

"Two taels of silver."

"How much is two taels of silver?"

"Five taels of silver is comparable to the money I earned from catching ghosts by the river that night."

"Very few."

"It's enough for us to spend a month."

"That's a lot!"

The Sanhua cat suddenly turned over and got up, as if thinking of something: "By the way, when you were out just now, someone came to our house, and the Sanhua empress turned into a human and went down to see and talk to him, and he said to come to us Help me to catch mice who don’t know where to go.”

"Where are you going to catch them?"

"I don't know where."

"What about others?"

"Gone away." The Sanhua cat stood up and looked up at him, "Miss Sanhua talked to him, but he didn't tell Mistress Sanhua. He asked me where you were, and Mistress Sanhua said you went out to catch ghosts." Yes, he said he would come back later, and he will talk about it when you come back."

"So it is."

Sanhuamao didn't speak clearly, but he also told the story almost once. Song You couldn't help but patted the cat's head when he heard it:

"Miss Sanhua is already in charge."

"correct!"

"It's just that the person is a bit bad. How can you not talk to Mistress Sanhua just because Mistress Sanhua is a villain?"

"correct!"

"I'll take a nap first."

"Ok!"

The Taoist lay down on the bed next to him.

Sanhuamao looked at him, then at the sand table on the desk, and lay down after hesitating for a long time.

The cat was sleeping by the window, and the Taoist was sleeping on the bed.

After an unknown amount of time, there was a knock on the door.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

The Taoist woke up in a daze, only feeling a thin layer of sweat on his face.

It turned out that it was time to sleep and sweat.

He stood up and exchanged a glance with Sanhuamao, then walked downstairs.

The door downstairs was still open. Standing at the door was a middle-aged man dressed as a housekeeper. Although the door was open, he didn't come in. He just stood outside the door and knocked on the door frame.

There are several servants by his side.

Seeing the Taoist and the cat come down, he surrendered.

"Sir, you are polite."

"Please come in with one step."

"My surname is Liu, and I am the steward of the Taiwei Mansion."

"Disrespectful disrespect."

"Don't dare, I just heard that sir has a magical cat named Sanhua Empress, who can catch mice for people, no matter how powerful the mice are." Liu Butler looked at the Sanhua cat behind Song You, and also said: Surprised by the beauty of the three-flowered cat, he turned his gaze to the Taoist and smiled, "But I never thought that Mister has the ability to exorcise evil spirits."

"Catching mice is Mistress Sanhua's skill, and I'm responsible for exorcising evil and subduing demons." The Taoist said to him, "We each perform our duties."

"I don't know where the master is doing cleansing?"

"Lingquan County, Yizhou."

"Yizhou? May I ask where is the fairy mountain cave?"

"It can't be called a fairy mountain, and it can't be called a cave. It's just a small temple, and it's just me and Master. It's not famous."

"I see."

Butler Liu's eyes flickered a few times: "That's a long way away, why did you come to Changjing?"

"You travel around the world." Song You also sized up the butler, with a smile on his lips, and said at the same time, "I heard from my Tonger that you came here to get rid of rats?"

"Exactly!"

"But the Taiwei Mansion?"

"Exactly!"

Butler Liu looked at Song You sometimes, and sometimes at the cat behind Song You. At the same time, he looked helpless and said, "I don't know what's going on. The mice in Dongcheng seem to be very powerful. My master has I was disturbed by disturbances, and my husband was often disturbed by it when I was studying at night. I tried my best to get rid of it. I heard from a Yuanwailang that there is a magic cat here, no matter how powerful it is. Mice can be caught overnight."

"To tell you the truth, the people who came to invite my Mistress Sanhua before are all in a similar situation to your residence."

"That's just right!" Butler Liu laughed, "My master has always been generous. If he can really get what he wants, let alone five hundred taels, he can just give five taels of silver, so what about 50 taels?"

The three-flowered cat next to her heard the words, and her expression froze immediately.

Although Song You hasn't taught her to count yet, she has been incarnate for a long time after all, and she also knows that five is greater than two.

Five taels of silver is naturally more than two taels of silver.

"When are we going?"

"I don't know if I can relax at this time?"

"It's very relaxing."

"Then I invite you."

"Please close the door."

The Taoist stepped out, and the cat followed immediately. The housekeeper Liu next to him saw it, and felt that the cat was spiritual, and the rumors were true.

Wait for the Taoist to close the door and lock it, and then set off.

The Taiwei was originally the highest military officer in the imperial court, the head of the world's military officials, and commanded the power of the world's soldiers and horses.However, the facts are always different. There are often dynasties or emperors who feel that the Taiwei is too powerful and do not appoint a Taiwei, or place a Taiwei but do not give real power.Just like this dynasty, the emperor himself is a martial emperor, and the power of soldiers and horses in the world can never be handed over to others, and he has been holding hands tightly.In addition, there is a prime minister above the Taiwei, and above the prime minister is a national teacher who is trusted by the emperor and has a lot of prestige in the court. The actual power has been reduced and reduced.

And I heard that the captain is very old and his health is very bad, so he is probably going to die soon.

However, he is also a member of the first rank, so he naturally lives in the best location in Dongcheng.

The mansion is also very big, with mountains and water.

Song You followed Steward Liu into Taiwei's mansion, stopped, and said to Steward Liu, "I just send Empress Sanhua here, Empress Sanhua will catch mice in the house, usually within five days." I will come to the mansion tomorrow morning to pick up Empress Sanhua, and for the next four days, I will deliver it every evening and pick it up in the morning. I hope you will treat my cat well and don't let her be wronged and bullied."

"It's natural."

"Thank you."

The Taoist glanced at the cat in front of him. She was very cute and cute wearing a red string necklace. He couldn't help smiling, and reached out to touch her head: "I will trouble Mistress Sanhua, Taiwei's mansion, Sanhua I'm afraid your empress will have to work harder than before, so please be more careful."

"Meow An~"

"I'm leaving."

The Taoist and the butler hand in hand, and also with the servants and servants around him, and someone else came from the mansion, who seemed to have heard about the name of Empress Sanhua, and wanted to come and see, he also looked at it, and then turned and walked out of the palace. Weifu.

It just so happens that the evening is cool, so taking a leisurely stroll is like taking a walk.

The cat squatted on the spot and watched the Taoist leave.

Someone came to invite her to hunt mice again, she was very happy, but this way, she couldn't sleep next to the Taoist at night.

And recently she is learning to write. If she is too busy at night, she will definitely have to sleep during the day, which will affect her secret practice time. not enough?

"..."

Cat is sad.
