It was the first time Zhuang Li saw Lady Sun's family. She did not expect Lady Sun to be so poor, as the normally lively Lady Sun appeared exhausted. Lady Sun's daughter was only eight years old, even younger than Qing You. Lady Sun was stupefied as she looked at the bulging amount of silver that Zhuang Li had grabbed from her bosom.

"Miss, where did you get so much money?"

Zhao Ci said with a smile, "Just accept them as you please to deal with those debt collectors."

"I'm a lady after all, don't worry about me."

?? Lady Sun was still worried, and asked a lot of questions, and Zhuang Li comforted all of them

In the end, Lady Sun even made her daughter, Chun Jing, kowtow to Zhuang Li and say that Zhuang Like was her savior. Otherwise, Chun Jing would really be sold to the flower shops to let those bad people act cheap.

Zhuang Li didn't have any other choice. Although she felt that kowtowing to someone older than her seemed to be too shortening her lifespan, she also felt that Zhao Ci was after all, an unruly and domineering young miss. Since she was Zhao Ci from Phoenix Dynasty now, not Zhuang Li, she would suffer.

After eating Lady Sun's pastries for dinner, which was simple but very fragrant, it was already very late when he returned to Zhao Mansion.

However, she was extremely happy and felt that she had done a good deed in this space and time using Zhuang Li's identity.

She slept soundly for a while.

?? Zhuang Li started to spend more and more time at Brightmoon Restaurant. She only told Qing You that she was going to tell Young Master Baishi more stories and redeem the peach blossom hairpin that was pressing down on him.

?? In reality, she was sitting by the side of the river of Brightmoon Restaurant, listening to Liu Yiyi's zither music as she drew peony after peony.

Most of the time, she looked through the fence on the second floor at the various people who came to tell Young Master Baishi stories.

?? There were experts on the path of cultivation, as well as commoners in the city, chivalrous men in the martial arts world and handsome scholars …

?? Even the nobles and officials were separated by a layer of bead curtain. He was extremely respectful to this mysterious young master.

?? There was never a lack of good wine and dishes for these people in the Brightmoon Restaurant Hall. They would gently smile or happily practice their drinking. At this time, Hong Feng would prepare a pot of Worryfree Wine that was rumored to be worth thousands of gold and bring it to Young Master.

Once, Zhuang Li secretly drank half a cup, then she fell into a deep slumber from morning until dusk.

?? Zhuang Li and Young Master Baishi became more and more familiar with each other. They treated each other as if they were friends, so she called him Bai Shi. What do you think about this peony? Do you think this Liu Yiyi of mine is the same?

?? Even though her painting was not famous for its character and aura, it did have a special method and expression that made people's eyes light up. When it was hung on the wall of Brightmoon Restaurant, it attracted a lot of people to ask Hong Feng quietly.

Hong Feng smiled without a word.

?? He occasionally told Young Master Baishi about his past as Zhuang Li. She said I had a long dream, and maybe one day I would wake up and you would be the first friend I had ever made in my dreams.

"You were my first friend, too, Porcelain." He smiled softly and suddenly took out a blooming golden lotus bud from his sleeve and gave it to Zhuang Li. When Zhuang Li held it in her hand, she realized it was a lifelike work of art and was about to bloom. In the next second, the golden flower bud bloomed in Zhuang Li's hand. Zhuang Li held the lotus flower in her hand, shocked speechless.

Young Master Baishi stretched out his hand from behind the bead curtain. The heavy cuffs of his white shirt were embroidered with layers of red peonies. The hand paused in the air, then tapped Zhuang Li's forehead with his finger, as if he wanted a piece of cinnabar to come out.

Zhuang Li was stunned on the spot. She blurted out the question that she had not intended to ask.

"Baishi, why are you always behind the bead curtain? Why are you wearing a mask? "

After saying that, Zhuang Li regretted her decision. In the entire capital, no one had ever dared to ask about the secrets of Brightmoon Restaurant or Young Master Baishi. Moreover, her relationship with Bai Shi could only be considered as meeting by chance. It was just like those sneering words that would cause her to die if she knew too much. She didn't plan on having such strong curiosity.

She was waiting for Baishi to fly into a rage, or to say that you still wanted to live well, so you shouldn't know too much.

Bai Shi withdrew his hand and the bead curtain slightly swayed from the impact. A gust of spring wind blew in from outside the window, bringing with it the fragrance of the rose, and entered Zhuang Li's nose …

"Do you want to know? Little porcelain? "

She hurriedly laughed. "I didn't think too much about it."

"You have drawn enough at Brightmoon Restaurant. Tomorrow, when you come over to draw the last one, I can give you back that peach blossom hairpin, okay?"

?? The last one? "Draw what?"

?? "Give me a picture." As if he had once again seen through her thoughts, Bai Shi spoke unhurriedly.

?? Zhuang Li was shocked by these words. "Baishi, I think I'll just paint Hong Feng."

?? As if sensing Zhuang Li's hesitation, he chuckled …

?? Little porcelain, my appearance has never been a secret, it's just that the world thinks it's a secret. I can guarantee that you aren't the first person to see me, and that everyone who has seen me is still alive and well. "

"?" Like you, I have another world to live in.

So I put on my mask and pretend I'm someone else, you understand?

Zhuang Li nodded her head as if she understood something. She relaxed and touched the spot on her forehead where the white stone had touched. There was nothing there, it was just a woman who had grown up with Phoenix Dynasty.

"Since Little White has reached adulthood, let's draw a crescent moon between our eyebrows."

?? Why do you want to draw a Mystic Moon? "

?? Because I think that Xuan Yue is pretty. "

?? And then … "

?? I'll sit on the boat and wait for you. "

?? Do you drink? "

?? "Mm, by then, you should be able to drink a few cups with me."

?? She seemed to be able to see the smile behind the white stone bead curtain for an instant. In other words, Young Master Baishi really likes to be friends with me, after being sent to the door by Hong Feng, she was even minding her own business and jumped up and down.

?? It seemed like living in this era wasn't that scary. When she left, she even took a lot of food from the Brightmoon Restaurant and hummed a small tune as she walked. When she passed by those shops, she even greeted them familiarly.

In these past two months, he had been entering and exiting the Brightmoon Restaurant everyday, so he was naturally extremely familiar with the surrounding shops. He chewed on the food Hong Feng gave her, making snacks for her while walking, and brought some to Qing You, who was at home.

"?" Boss Liu, business is booming … "

"?" Mother Zheng, your new silk clothes look really good. "

?? Zhuang Li's mouth was sweet and sweet from the days when she was full of food and clothing. Those merchants were getting more familiar with this girl who hung around the area every day. Although she didn't look too attractive, her mouth was very sweet.

?? Zhuang Li was also becoming more and more experienced. She was both happy and poor. Even a beggar would swagger along like a tyrant on the street.

?? Besides, she ate well and well every day. When she woke up in the morning, she was already in a beautiful mood and had gained a lot of friends. Bai Shi and Hong Feng. Naturally, he was in an even happier mood. As he walked along the road, he felt that he was still in a bit of a mood.

?? Every time there were residents teasing her: "Whose baby are you?"

?? She spoke with a face full of pride, "I'm from Lady Sun's house on Tsui Hua Street in Beijing. My name is Warm Spring."

?? He asked again, "Where are you going?"

?? He answered with even more pride, "Go to Prime Minister Zhao's residence to find my mother. She is working in the kitchen and helping grandpa Zhao wash his wife's clothes."

?? In the end, he didn't forget to add,

"?" I can earn more than 500 copper coins a month! "

?? Occasionally, she would meet someone she was curious about and ask about more about Zhao Mansion, which made her even more excited. She said that each of Lord Zhao's wives was more ferocious than the last, and was even uglier than the last.

"?" They all say that she's even uglier than me! "

?? She even deliberately made a face that made her look even uglier.

?? Someone asked: "Didn't Lord Zhao marry Du Yueyao? She was the number one beauty in the capital! I heard that before she married into the Zhao Mansion, she was even more glorious than the current Liu Yiyi! "

?? Zhuang Li was speechless for a moment, and then explained, "Du Yueyao? "Mrs. Du was tricked to death by Lord Zhao's wives."

?? After that, there was a wave of sighs.

"?" "Aiya, what a pity, you're a good beauty!"

"?" That's right, this Zhao Mansion really eats people and doesn't spit their bones! Not even a single piece of news has come out. "

"?" You haven't heard of it either? "

"?" He didn't know which room the Zhao Mansion was in, how could it be so grand! If the funeral was a good one, we would definitely know. "

"?" This Zhao Family is really vicious! "

?? Zhuang Li hurriedly covered her head and ran out of the crowd while perspiring in cold sweat.

"?" "Right, right, vicious!"

?? He had to get out of there quickly and talk to them about the only daughter Du Yueyao had given to Lord Zhao. Although he had angered her, he couldn't really take it on himself. Du Yueyao had been married to Lord Zhao for ten years and there was still talk about how great she used to be.

?? Said her daughter was ugly... Who would believe it …?

?? Zhuang Li was afraid of being questioned by those uncles who probably adored Zhao Ci's mother all those years ago. She hurriedly covered her head with her little legs and ran away.

?? "Make way, make way …"

?? The voice of a man filled with vigor echoed in the street, accompanied by the clatter of hooves.

?? Zhuang Li was still keeping a distance from the gossip citizens as she ran in the middle of the street.

?? When she realized that the carriage was right in front of her, the driver was shocked and quickly reined the reins. Zhuang Li was so scared that her head went blank. She reflexively raised her hand to cover her small head, but she could still see the horse's hoof through her fingers.

?? And then there was a second of déjà vu, the night of her modern car accident, and she was scared senseless as she watched the retrograde van coming at her

?? A thought flashed through his mind, Am I going back?

?? The horse whinnied in alarm.

?? The next second, Zhuang Li closed her eyes and tried her best to regain her senses. Other than the cold sweat on her back and the pain from her elbow, nothing else seemed to have happened.

?? Seems like he didn't go back …

"?"
