The ghost-catching princess, she always pretends to be weak

Chapter 76 Like others
  "Oh my sweet potatoes!" Wen Jiu suddenly slapped his head, her sweet potatoes were still roasting there.

She picked up the skirt of her skirt and hurriedly ran back.

Halfway through the run, he suddenly thought of something and turned around: "Happy New Year, Lu Xu."

Not far away, fireworks suddenly exploded in the air with a "whoosh" sound, making the darkness look like day.

Firecrackers sounded one after another.

The New Year is finally here.

Wen stopped for a long time and looked at the fireworks in the sky, covering his ears and laughing happily.

Lu Xu just looked at Wen Jiu, as if he didn't hear anything else.

He didn't know why he came to Wen Mansion, but he knew that when he came here, someone would definitely surprise him.

Wen Jiu could always break his heart to pieces inadvertently.

He looked at the woman with a beautiful smile not far away and had a firm idea in his mind.

If that's the case, Wen Jiu, then I won't let go.

I slept late yesterday, so there was no movement in the girl's room until now, which is understandable for Zisu.

This was the third time today that she stood at the door of Wen Jiu's room, hesitating whether to knock or not.

"oops--"

Suddenly I heard an exclamation coming from the room.

"The girl is awake?"

Zisu quickly opened the door and went in, only to see Wen Jiu sitting on the couch sewing something.

"Girl, what are you doing?"

"Sewing the sachet." Wen Jiu didn't even raise his head.

"If you want a sachet, my slave can sew it for you. What if the girl hurts herself?"

Zisu quickly took the thing from Wen Jiu's hand.

"The things Ms. Chen gave me were all made by her own hands. How can I borrow them from others?"

"Girl, do you want to give it to Miss Chen?"

"Not only that, but also Zhao Yan and the Sixth Princess."

That would require three more stitches, and she frowned instantly.

With her skills, this sachet will have to be given out next year.

"Girl, why don't you give me something else? You sewed this."

It’s really hard to get rid of it.

"Then what should I give you?"

Wen Jiu leaned back in annoyance. He really couldn't do anything except draw talismans.

Drawing symbols?

"Yes! I can give them talismans! This is much more useful than any sachet!"

Just as he was told, Wen Jiu drew a dozen or so talisman papers on the table without paying any attention to Zi Su's strange gaze.

Reading the storybook every day, I wonder how my girl can even learn to draw talismans.

Just a few days after settling down, Wen Jiu made an appointment with Zhao Yan for tea.

She missed Fan Ge's pastries very much. No wonder everyone in the capital wanted to go to Fan Ge to eat them once. It was like eating them once and never forgetting them.

When passing by Huajian Pavilion, the place had already been managed by a different person.

It is still a brothel where families come and go, but it is still a little less interesting than the Huajian Pavilion not long ago.

By the time the two of them finished shopping and went to Fange to have pastries, the night was already dark.

The girl's family loved chatting with each other, and the only conversation was that Liu Yue's family also wanted to propose marriage to Chen Shu, but he resolutely refused.

Wen Jiu wanted to laugh a little, but Liu Yue never thought that Chen Shu, whom she had always belittled, would reject her.

But it wasn't just Liu Yue, there were three families in Beijing who clearly sought out matchmakers to go to the Chen family, but they all came back without success.

This made Chen Shu offend a lot of people.

Chen Shu has been reluctant to propose marriage, but because of that jade pendant?
  On the way back, Wen Jiu walked unconsciously to the entrance of the alley.

The chill at night was biting, and a sudden gust of wind blew in the alley, freezing her to the core.

Just when he came to his senses and wanted to leave, he was bumped into by Chen Miao who had just opened the door.

"Miss Wen?"

Chen Miao looked around and realized that she had come here alone.

Wen Jiu saw her looking around and knew what she was thinking.

"I went out to hang out with the girl from the Zhao family. She felt unwell and went back first."

"Miss Wen, please come in and sit."

Chen Miao walked out quickly, wanting to welcome Wen Jiu in. But the look in her father’s eyes that day suddenly appeared in her mind.

It’s better not to go.

She touched the sachet on her waist and reached out to untie it.

"this is for you."

"Give me?"

Chen Miao was a little flattered.

"Well, you gave me a lot that day. This sachet contains the talismans that my cousin asked for from Qingyun Mountain, which are used to save lives at critical moments."

Wen Jiu quipped that it was the talisman paper from Qingyun Mountain.

But my cousin didn’t ask for it, I drew it myself.

"I heard that this Qingyun Mountain talisman paper is extremely rare. Thank you very much, Miss Wen."

Wen Jiu smiled and said, "Thank you for the gift too."

"Chen Miao."

Before Chen Miao could finish what he wanted to say, Chen Shu stood at the door with a solemn expression.

She quickly turned around, "Brother is Miss Wen, she and Miss Zhao..."

"You go in first." Chen Shu interrupted Chen Miao.

When Wen Jiu saw Chen Shu, he didn't put on any new clothes. He was still wearing one of the clothes he had worn a few years ago. He was as calm and self-possessed as when he first met him.

But on the waist, there is that jade pendant again.
  "I'll take the girl to the entrance of the alley. It's best if someone follows her from now on."

After Chen Miao entered the room, Chen Shu stood in her place.

"Why?" Wen Jiu asked confused.

"You are not an ordinary woman. You should pay more attention to your behavior."

Chen Shu's voice was slightly cold.

Wen Jiu only felt that Chen Shu was weird tonight. Although he looked distant in the past, he was not pushing her away with every word like today.

What she didn't know was that her father not only came after her, but also beat him.

There were stars above his head, and it was such a calm and peaceful night. Wen Jiu looked at the jade pendant swinging around his waist.

At this moment, my heart was in a state of confusion.

"Master Chen, do you have someone you like?"

She found that asking didn't seem that difficult.

The back of the person next to him suddenly stiffened, and it took him a while to hear the sound.

".yes."

"The person who gave you the jade pendant?"

Wen Jiu felt a little bitter in his throat.

"Yes."

"Do you... like her very much?"

"Yes."

Wen Jiu's eyelashes trembled slightly, he forced himself to calm down, and straightened his back stubbornly: "My lord, there is no need to give it away."

But as soon as she reached the corner, her tears fell unbridled.

Chen Shu, who was standing there, pinched his palm tightly and resisted the urge to grab her.

He did not go back to the house directly, but subconsciously walked to a deserted place before he realized that his eyes were burning and his heart was hurting.

She doesn't remember this jade pendant.

So good.

Wen Jiu didn't know how he left Xishi. He just thought that Chen Shu had someone he liked.

She walked around the street in despair, sometimes closer to Wen's house, sometimes far away from Wen's house.

Until I met Lu Xu.

He had a rest today, but the atmosphere in the eldest princess's mansion was terribly depressing, so he came out to take a breath.

Unexpectedly, he bumped into Wen Jiu, who was full of disappointment.

In the past, when I saw her, there were always little sparkles in her eyes, but today it was completely dim.

Something must have happened.

He couldn't help but take a few steps forward.

"Why are you here alone?"
