Shen Yizhi thought about it. Nian Nian would not tell lies. If she said she smelled it, she must have smelled it. Thinking that Nian Nian's bloodline was different from that of ordinary people, she couldn't help but guess.
Perhaps what she smells is the scent of soul? Otherwise, she wouldn't be the only one who could smell it.
“Then Nian Nian, tell me, do we smell anything?”
Shen Yizhi just asked casually, but he didn't expect Nian Nian to actually nod: "Aunt Shen, you are fragrant and warm, Qing Bao is like cream ice cream, and Yuan Bao is as clear and clean as water."
“Cream ice cream”? Hahaha, this description is really perfect.
Shen Yizhi couldn't stop laughing.
Cui Yue asked excitedly: "What about me?"
“Well, Yue’er tastes...orange.” Nian Nian thought for a moment and found an accurate adjective.
Cui Yue chuckled, orange flavor?
“What about my brother?”
“…It tastes like cabbage.” Nian Nian said not sure.
Cui Ying: Why did your painting style change when you came to him?
The group of people walked out chatting and laughing. On the other side, Sima Kuang received bad news.
“What? I lost two thousand spirit stones in a gambling battle, plus tens of thousands of taels of silver? What do you do for food!”
As a concubine, Sima Kuang was not qualified to inherit the city lord's mansion, so he was sent by the family to take care of the shop. He was responsible for Tianyi Floor. As a derivative industry of Tianyi Floor, Douyu Hall can bring in huge profits every month. From the income, Sima Kuang often put money into his own treasury.
This time, he originally thought that what was waiting for him was the "filial piety" of Manager Xu, but unexpectedly, what Manager Xu presented him was an account book!
He turned his hands back tremblingly, his face getting bluer and bluer.
He slammed the account book onto Manager Xu's head, "What the **** is going on?!"
After hearing the whole story, Sima Kuang gritted his teeth and said, "It's Xia Yan again!"
How much trouble is this stupid woman going to cause him!
If it weren't for her, Shen Yizhi wouldn't accept the bet, let alone bet two hundred spirit stones on himself to win! Their Douyu Hall doesn’t have to pay such a large sum of money!
That’s two thousand spirit stones!
It took several years after he took over Tianyilou to save so much wealth, and now he will lose it all!
Of course, for Shen Yizhi, who directly caused his imminent bankruptcy, he no longer had the vague affection he had before, only resentment.
He suddenly thought: "The money hasn't been given out yet, has it?"
Manager Xu: "Not yet. I told Miss Shen that I couldn't raise so many spiritual stones for the time being and asked her to give me two days' grace. Miss Shen agreed."
Sima Kuang rubbed the golden jade ring on his thumb and said, "Okay, I'll figure this out."
When he returned to the box, the expression on his face was almost under control, thinking that others would not be able to see anything.
However, as soon as he entered, Zhao Fulan asked: "Did something happen? I saw that the third son's face was not very good."
Sima Kuang almost couldn't help but touch his face. Is it really that obvious?
forced a smile: "It's not a big deal, Miss Zhao doesn't need to worry."
Seeing that he didn't want to say more, Zhao Fulan didn't ask any more questions. Anyway, she just paid routine attention and didn't really care about him that much.
Coming out of the underground market, Shen Yizhi checked the time. It was after five o'clock, and it was almost time to have dinner.
There are still about ten days until the Lantern Festival, but the streets are already warming up.
Lanterns are hung out in various shapes, and the Yuanxiao shop shouts, "Sweet Yuanxiao, salty Yuanxiao, and meat Yuanxiao are all delicious."
Some wealthy shops will also put up lanterns in front of their doors, with brilliant golden light and colorful embroidery. Various fairy stories are painted on the lanterns, which shows that the pursuit of immortality and worship here is at its peak.
Others have propped up long poles tens of meters long, with colorful curtains hanging on them. On the curtains, various paper-mâché figures from various operas are floating in the wind, like flying fairies.
As night falls, night market stalls are set up, selling various snacks and performing jugglers, making it very lively.
Shen Yizhi took Qing Bao and the others for a walk, eating, shopping, playing and watching, and didn't go back until after nine o'clock in the evening.
When she was ready to go to bed, she suddenly remembered that she had forgotten to tell her father.
Sure enough, when I opened the photo stone, I saw several messages from my father, as if he was making serial calls to his death.
“Yibao, when are you coming back? Xiao Che caught a big octopus. Let’s have octopus **** tonight? Or grilled octopus.”
"Yibao, why don't you reply to me? Is something wrong?"
“Yibao, don’t scare dad, dad’s little heart can’t stand being scared.”
…
Shen Yizhi below didn't even have the courage to look at it. It was all her fault that she took Qing Bao and the others to have too much fun at the night market and made her father so worried.
He quickly replied to the message: "Dad, I'm sorry. We were visiting the night market earlier. It was too noisy and we didn't notice the movement of the image stone, so we didn't reply to you in time. Don't worry, we are all fine. I will take care of you tonight. Qing Bao and the others are resting here, and I will take them around the island tomorrow, so I won’t go back for the time being. The octopus is waiting for me to come back and cook it for you to eat~"
Finally, Shen Yizhi sent this piece of news after being sold out.
After waiting for a while, Shen Jianghan replied: Well, you guys had fun, there’s no need to come back in a hurry.
Shen Yizhi took a long breath and finally felt relieved.
On Kunling Island.
In the stone pavilion, the lights are brightly lit.
Shen Jianghan put down the shadow stone and said, "Come on, come on, Yibao won't be back tonight, let's fight all night!"
Zhang Lingche and Qiu Zhongya cheered up when they heard this.
The table soon resounded with the joyful sound of mahjong clashing together.
The next morning, Shen Yizhi dug Qing Bao and the others out of their beds early.
The three little guys were still in a daze, unable to open their eyes.
Shen Yizhi pinched their chubby faces and little hands and feet like lotus roots, and then put clothes on them.
“Go and brush your teeth and wash your face. Whoever does it the fastest will be rewarded with a gift pack of snacks!”
The motivating effect of the snacks was so great that the three people who were confused just now woke up immediately and rushed to wash up.
Shen Yizhi took everyone out without even having breakfast.
Cui Yue let out a long yawn: "Sister Zhizhi, where are you taking us?"
“Let’s go eat delicious food! Take a look at the scenery.”
As soon as they heard the delicious food, everyone became excited and their eyes were filled with anticipation.
As for the last sentence "looking at the scenery", they automatically ignored it.
There are eight landscapes on Sanzhu Island: White Crane Morning Bell, Xiaotai Mingyue, Twin Waterfalls and Flying Spring, East Peak Clouds, West Mountain Pine Snow, Zizhi Sunset, Yunmen Blessed Land, and Zizhu Cave.
What Shen Yizhi wanted to take them to see was the "White Crane Morning Bell", located in Lingyin Temple, thirty miles outside Yufu City.
There is a small crane peak in the temple. There is an old pine tree on the peak that has lived for an unknown number of years. Many white cranes like to live here. The big bell in the temple hangs under the pine tree.
At noon every day (6 o'clock), the monks who specialize in ringing bells in the temple will come here and ring the big bell.
