"The princess is laughing."

"Changshi Shen...uh, can I call you Xiyao?"

"Of course, it all depends on the wishes of the princess."

"That's right, that's right. The princess should have called her that way a long time ago. It's always Shen Changshi. Shen Changshi's people are all divided."

Chu Qingying continued to help.

"Okay, Xiyao. Although you and I don't have much contact, I can see that you don't like liveliness. However, you and Qingying must visit my house more in the future."

"Hehe, don't worry, Princess, I will definitely disturb you."

Zhu An also smiled slightly.

"Qingying is happy, I'm not worried. Xiyao, don't forget it."

Shen Xiyao nodded.

"good."

After sitting around for a while, Zhu An and Chu Qingying got up and left.

Shen Xiyao sat quietly by the desk for a long time without moving.

Although there weren't many things going on today, they had a huge impact on her, so she had to think about it slowly.

Then Shen Xiyao put out paper and pen, and reluctantly wrote down what happened today and some important conversations. So that he...

Uh... Yunxiu said his name was Mu Jianming.

So that Mu Jianming can understand the situation.

Mu Jianming was right about one thing. Since we can't prevent his appearance now, we can only cooperate with him first to minimize the possibility of being discovered by others.

After that... we have to find a way to solve it.

As the rooster sang at dawn, Shen Xiyao opened her eyes in a daze, and then her eyes immediately glowed. She jumped out of bed and rushed to the desk in a hurry.

Holding a few pages of paper that were found at the agreed place in her hand, Shen Xiyao sat slumped on the chair, ignoring the white greasy look on her chest.

Everything is real! It’s not my own illusion!

That guy appeared again at night, took away the message he left for him, and left some messages for himself.

Shen Xiyao was in a low mood, so she called Yunxiang and other maids to help her clean up and collect the copied memorials for minting money.

A servant came in to report, and the officials of Guanglu Temple asked to see him.

Shen Xiyao frowned when she remembered something.

"Bring him in."

Not long after, a man in blue official robes was let into the front hall.

As soon as a visitor comes in, he bows and salutes.

"I've met Dr. Shen, who is in charge of the dining department, Zhang Chen."

Shen Xiyao returned the gift.

"Have you prepared what Yang Siqing ordered?"

Zhang Chen took out a few pieces of paper from his sleeve and presented them to Shen Xiyao.

"We have sorted the various fine wines stored in the treasury and loaded them into trucks, and have transported them to Shen's village outside the city. This is a detailed list. Please take a look at it, doctor."

Shen Xiyao took it and looked at it briefly, then nodded.

"Okay, you come with me to the outside of the city. Please wait a moment, sir."

"I don't dare. I'll wait outside."

Shen Xiyao took the opportunity to visit Yunxiang.

"Yunxiang, just ask Ziling to accompany me to Zhuangzi this time. You don't want to go."

Yunxiang looked gloomy and pursed her lips, letting out a disappointed sound.

"I won't take you there because I have more important things arranged for you. It's not because you lied to me."

Yunxiang's eyes were shining, but she was complaining in her heart.

And you said you weren’t taking the opportunity to distance yourself from me?

"Miss, please give me your orders."

Shen Xiyao waved, and Yunxiang came closer. Shen Xiyao whispered in Yunxiang's ear: "Go to the temples in the city and check if there are any methods or magical weapons that can remove souls and catch ghosts. Please ask for them for me."

Yunxiang's eyes widened.

"Miss, do you want to..."

"Shhh! Don't tell anyone about this. Be careful to hide your identity. Don't tell that person either."

Yunxiang nodded and said she was leaving.

Shen Xiyao changed her clothes, took Zi Ling, and left the city with Zhang Chen.

The Shen family built a small courtyard in the west of Luoyang City as a place to escape the summer heat. The courtyard is not too big. It has five entrances, but it is more exquisite and the scenery is pretty good. Usually they only send a few servants. Take care of.

Seeing Shen Xiyao arriving, the stewards in the courtyard rushed to greet her.

"I met Miss. Yesterday..."

He looked up and saw Zhang Chen again.

"Yesterday, the Shangguan sent countless royal wines, saying that they were a matter for the imperial court. I don't dare to make the decision. It happened that Yunxiang arrived, so I arranged for someone to receive them."

Shen Xiyao nodded and took the list handed over by the housekeeper. It matched the details handed over by Zhang Chen and there was no mistake.

"I still need to trouble Mr. Zhang to do something."

"Please give me the doctor's instructions."

"There are also some grape wines and other fruit wines here. Please take them back with me. There is no need to deal with these wines."

Zhang Chen thought about it for a moment.

"I'll take my orders."

Shen Xiyao turned around and asked the steward again.

"Are you ready with all the things you arranged to prepare?"

"Don't worry, miss, everything is ready."

When Shen Xiyao arrived at her residence, she sent everyone out, then took out a stack of paper, carefully read what was written on it, and thought secretly in her heart.

Although Shen Xiyao had seen these things once, she didn't pay attention to them at that time. Moreover, Mu Jianming had already gone online once in the middle of the night, and the quota had been used up. He couldn't count on Mu Jianming when he was preparing to do it now. .

After writing down everything on the paper, Shen Xiyao went to the courtyard where the kitchen in the village was located.

There is a stove built in the side room across the courtyard, and a large pot has been placed in the upper stove. There is also a large wooden barrel with a large top and a small bottom, with a flat bottom and a wide mouth as high as a person.

At this time, someone was pouring jars of fine wine sent from Guanglu Temple into barrels.

There is a shelf above the stove, and a rope is wrapped around the shelf, which is hanging a hat-shaped lid. There is also a bamboo tube on the ground.

Shen Xiyao stepped forward and picked up the bamboo tube to check.

The bamboo tube is not a complete one, but spliced ​​together. A copper pipe is embedded inside and runs through the entire bamboo tube.

"Assemble these as soon as possible and try them out."

"yes."

Several people working in the wing all agreed and sped up their movements.

Finally someone came over to report that everything was ready.

"start."

Shen Xiyao felt a little uneasy in her heart, but on the surface she remained calm and gave orders in a leisurely manner.

Immediately, several people brought in buckets of water, poured the water into the pot, and lit a fire. The strong smell of alcohol began to slowly fill the room, and the men working together kept twitching their noses and throats. Scroll around and you will see that you are a good drinker.

The process of steaming the wine was pretty smooth.

The first bit of wine dripping from the bamboo tube, Shen Xiyao remembered that Mu Jianming's message to her said it was called Jiutou. It was poisonous and should not be drunk.

After letting go of the wine, Shen Xiyao asked someone to collect and seal all the wine that could be used, and sent some unsteamed wine to her room.

The few people who had been steaming the wine watched helplessly as the wine jar was taken away, with expressions of regret and hope on their faces.

Midnight, under candlelight

Mu Jianming, who was online again, crossed his chest, tilted his head and looked at the stack of paper on the table, as well as the cups and jars of wine that had been prepared in advance.

I rubbed my brows with a headache and put the paper away first.

The step of letting Shen Xiyao accept his existence and cooperate with him has been basically completed. Shen Xiyao's body can also do things according to the methods left by him, but it lacks flexibility.

This silly girl actually asked someone to send the fruit wine back.
To be continued...
