Happens to be my favorite.

Wen Ji casually put the ink stained talisman paper to the side, and drew out a new one to continue writing, his expression remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, and he did not look at her.

People in this era emphasize subtlety, especially as a woman, so Xu You also know that Wen Ji was shocked by her shocking sentence, he did not forget the heart, or simply do not care.

The insignificant, not worth wasting an ounce of emotion or attention on.

As expected, Xu You was in a good state of mind, and was about to say something else when there was a knock on the door.

"Knock-knock--" a female voice like an oriole's caw rang out, "Master, it's me."

Xu You didn't have to guess that it was Lingling Ye.

Wen Ji's home away from the garden only he lives, other monks, including odd jobs are not allowed to enter, he is here to practice Buddhism, naturally everything personally, of course, the main thing is that he does not like to have contact with people.

Even Grandmaster Xuanjing has not entered the Garden of Separation, and the only one who has the privilege is Lingling Ye, who can go straight to the Garden of Separation if she wants to see the art of hearsay and does not even need to cite the book.

"Miss Ye, please come in." Wen Ji put down his pen, got up, dusted off the hem of his coat, and went to open the door.

Xu You looked over and saw Lingling Ye in a watery blue jacket, with a slender figure and a slender waist, and her face slightly powdered, so she did look good.

When Lingling Ye saw Wen Ji, she lowered her head to reveal a shy smile, carried the basket inside, and softly said in a soft voice, "Master, I brought you stir-fried radish ......"

Her words snapped to a halt, and when she saw the smiling Xu You in the courtyard, even her steps stopped.

Xu You was in a good state of mind when he saw his rival, and had the courtesy to greet him, "Miss Ye."

"Master, why is she here." Lingling Ye also knows Xu You, the young and beautiful widow of the East Street Alley, there is no shortage of people mentioning her, Lingling Ye owns a small tavern, and often listens to the male customers talk about Xu You, mostly in lewd and lascivious terms. The words "lustful" were mostly used.

As a woman running a business, Lingling Ye is not yet able to do so. At first she sympathizes with Xu You as a widow, but when she learns that she is pestering the Master, Lingling Ye becomes somewhat disgusted with her.

But at the same time, Lingling Ye also has a kind of pleased and happy feeling, not to mention the other shy and silent women, Xu You cheeky to stick up always be coldly received, but she Lingling Ye has been favored by the master, so she feels that she has gained the limelight in both the open and the dark, and naturally happy in her heart.

Smell Art ignores a person so thoroughly that he doesn't even pick up on relevant words.

Lingling Ye was delighted, and familiarly placed the basket on the bamboo table in the courtyard, setting out the four dishes inside, "Master come and eat, the flavor will be affected if it gets cold."

Xu You saw that there was nothing for him to do, so he casually sat down on a wooden chair and lazily squinted his eyes, watching them interact.

Wen Ji sat over and picked up his chopsticks, dropping them after only two bites of stir-fried radish.

Lingling Ye squeezed the paddle somewhat nervously, "Master, is it not to your liking?"

Wen Ji took a sip of tea and said in a faint voice, "I used it in the Lenten Hall before, thanks to Miss Ye's kindness, so take everything with you when you leave."

Wen Shu is willing to eat is already a reward for her face, in the past Lingling Ye would not dare to ask for too much, but today ...... She used her residual light to look at Xu You, who was not far away, and there was always a feeling of uneasiness in her heart, so Lingling Ye asked with a smile, "Master hasn't been coming to my tavern for a few days, why don't you go there in a couple of days and show me some face? My slave has prepared new dishes especially for master."

Lingling Ye had a hard time opening her own tavern. Because she had no backing, she was always being harassed by local officials and snakes, and there were always people causing trouble in her tavern, or some of the customers would treat her in a rude manner.

She was supposed to marry into a merchant family as a concubine, but the man was old and had untold proclivities, and two of his young concubines had already been tortured to death, so she didn't want to do that, so she took her money and fled to Jianan City.

Later, the tavern finally managed to take off, who knows peers to find someone to act, said several people ate her food vomiting diarrhea, serious point of life to take up, so it is a big deal, everyone thinks her food is not clean, resulting in a decline in her business, she reported to the police, but no one cared about it, only to eat this dumb loss.

When Lingling Ye is losing a lot of money and ready to close her tavern and leave Jianan City, Wen Shu comes to her tavern for dinner. After two or three visits, her tavern's business improves for no reason, and she learns of Wen Shu's name, that he once divined the fortunes of a minor official, who has risen high in his career to become the Governor of Jianan City, whose son has even been awarded the Scholarship.

The governor of Jianan City treated Wen Ji as an honored person, sending him gifts on festivals and inviting him to his home for banquets, and no one in Jianan City knew of Wen Ji's name. Many people came to see Wen Ji, including big shots who came from far and wide, and her tavern business became more and more prosperous because of Wen Ji's patronage.

Although Wen Ji has broken an arm, but good-looking and not lack of gold and silver and fame, as long as you follow him, the rest of his life do not have to worry about, wearing gold and jade, surrounded by people, Lingling Ye is really afraid of the face of the days of loneliness and helplessness.

She figured that Wenjutsu had a crush on her, and he hadn't given any other woman more than a passing glance, just her.

When one thinks about it for a long time, it makes one believe in it, and Lingling Ye believed that the future Mrs. Wen must be her.

"May." Wenji dropped his words and headed for the house.

The wooden door closed, only Xu You and Lingling Ye were left in the courtyard, Xu You saw Lingling Ye with a wary face, a look that she wouldn't leave if she didn't, Xu You could only get up, stretched her waist, and laughed, "Miss Ye, why don't we go down the mountain together, so that we can take care of each other."

Lingling Ye also put on a smile, "This is naturally good."

She reclaimed the meal in her basket and left the Returning Court with Xu You.

Xu You greeted familiar monks with smiles, and as they exited Sunwonji Temple, Xu You and Lingling Ye walked down the stone steps side by side.

Lingling Ye turned to her, "Miss You, how are you doing on your own?"

"Since it's dashing as hell." Xu You said.

Lingling Ye continued warmly, "You and I are both women, I know it's not easy for you, we always pretend to be free and self-contained in front of outsiders, but who knows about the pains and sorrows?"

This "I know you, we're on the same side, I'm looking out for you" is not a good thing to say, so Xu You waited silently for her to say something else.

Lingling Ye did not get the expected response, after a pause, continued: "It is better to find a person to rely on the good, in the future, when they are old, there is someone to accompany them, and if they have a child or grandchildren, they are not afraid of loneliness, and no longer have to be like a duckweed with no place to return to, sister, what do you say?"

"Sister is absolutely right," Xu You smiled, knowing what Lingling Ye was about to say again, so she said, "So as you can see, sister is working on it."

Lingling Ye was about to say that she would introduce Xu You to a few families when she was interrupted and subconsciously asked, "Work on what?"

"Trying to win the Master's heart." Xu You said in a very natural and frank manner.

"You ......" Lingling Ye was choked speechless for a moment.

"Ordinary people can't get into the master's eyes, sister don't do anything useless." Lingling Ye The smile was gone from her face.

"Sister is an extraordinary person?" Xu You smiled brightly, pointed to her basket, and said lightly, "Why don't you tell me, sister, what kind of kung fu is this doing?"

Her proper attitude of asking for advice and her immodest tone instead made Lingling Ye feel that she was being lightly mocked, and she gritted her teeth and walked down quickly with her basket in her hand.

Seeing Lingling Ye disappear around the corner of the stone steps, Xu You slowly made his way down.

"The sound of footsteps falling one by one, Xu You's head began to empty, and she noticed earlier that Wen Shu's attitude towards Lingling Ye was not close, and could even be said to be quite cold.

And there wasn't the slightest thing about emotion in his eyes, calm as a dead lake, no ripples at all.

This makes Xu You feel a bit strange, as the original world line states that Wen Shu fell in love with Lingling Ye and married her. But Xu You didn't feel that Wen Shu had any love for Lingling Ye, does it mean that he hasn't fallen in love yet, or is he hiding it too deeply?

What event prompted Wen Ji to return directly to the world?

Xu You rocked home and didn't even think about it.

"Ma'am, the meal is ready to be served at any time." Xiang He said.

Xu You simply ate a couple of bites, then put down his chopsticks, went to the stove room, rolled up his sleeves and made his own food.

Capturing a man's attention with food wasn't something she was good at, at least she'd done it before, Xu You figured that since they were both delivering food, it would be a competition to see who could do it better.

One hour later.

"Seven or eight!" Xu You struggled to swallow the bamboo shoot stir-fry in his mouth, "How did you make it taste so bad!!!"

Seven Eight tapped his head, "I forgot to tell you, that newbie gold finger expiration date is a world."

"......" No wonder cooking was so tough this time, Xu You looked down at the messy stovetop, she thought she was rusty after not doing it for a world apart, but it turned out to be an expired gold finger.

Forget it. If we can't outsmart them, we'll attack them.

--

The next day Xu You went up to Sunwonji Temple again and went straight to the back, trying to climb over the wall as he had done the previous day, only to see a big pit on the ground with some roots left in it.

Winking Art was so desperate that he just got someone to dig up that crooked tree.

Xu You was unable to climb over the wall and had to give up and go home.

A few days after that she brought a few talking books with her, so she read them outside the fence, and as long as Wen Ji was in the courtyard she could hear them, and anyway she had nothing to do so she brushed up on her presence.

Lingling Ye also came more often, but she was afraid of disturbing Wenjiao too much and getting on his nerves, so she came every two or three days.

Xu You think about this is not good, hard attack should have a hard attack look, simply spend a lot of money to hire people to carry a wooden ladder up the mountain.

The two strong men were tired and panting, "Mother eh, carry this ladder up, I almost see Buddha."

Xu You paid the money: "Good work, you guys go ahead."

The whole trip took quite a long time, Xu You quickly set up the wooden ladder on the fence, climbed up.

She sat across the edge of the wall and looked out into the courtyard, only to see the setting sun's afterglow spilling into the courtyard, and in one corner there were a few kittens of different colors, and the man in green clothes placed a porcelain plate filled with fish in front of them.

A few kittens were familiar with him and purred softly to him twice before burying their heads in their meat.

Wen Ji's face was fair and handsome, and the dark eyes that looked into them were clear and calm.

Not close to them, but with a face that is rarely affectionate.

"Master-" Xu You trailed off, shouting in high spirits.

Smell Art didn't even move his eyes, only looking down at the cat in front of him.

"Master likes cats?"

"As it happens, I like it too."

"But my favorite cat is afraid of mice, and afraid of having to be chased by mice."

Xu You The words fell, Wen Ji slowly stood up, his clear black eyes sank down to look at her.

It was the first time in so many days that he had responded to her.
