"Master, if you found your mistress, why don't you take her back, what kind of fortune-telling stall are you doing here?"

"I tried earlier, but she still couldn't recognize me. I looked for her twice, and she became wary of me. She didn't answer when I asked her about the past." Mr. Bai Daoxiang touched his chin and shook his head helplessly Head, "I don't think she is pretending not to know me, I'm afraid she is still deeply ill."

Alas, Ling Xiao sighed silently.She knew that more than ten years ago, the master and his wife's children were lost. Since then, the teacher's wife has become insane. She sometimes knows the people around her and sometimes doesn't know her husband.

However, Shengde Lingxiao is an exception to her, she has always cherished her very much, and can recognize her every time she sees her.This is why Lord Bai Daoxiang asked Ling Xiao to send his wife to Hanlu Island.

"Master, your medical skills are excellent, so you can't cure my wife's illness?"

"She has a heart disease. No matter how good my medical skills are, I can't find any medicine that can cure her." Bai Daoxiang said sadly.

☆, Chapter 29

Mr. Bai Daoxiang doesn't often mention what happened to her teacher's wife in front of Lingxiao, but she has heard everything from Brother Bihou.

Where is the imperial palace? Although on the surface he accepted Mr. Bai Daoxiang as a minister without hesitation, in fact, a thorough investigation was secretly conducted on him.

Seeing Master's deep affection for Master's wife, Ling Xiao also felt a little sad.

More than ten years ago, Master and Master's wife's child was lost in the wilderness, and the possibility of surviving was not great... So, she persuaded Master: "Master, you should relax, no matter how much you think about the past A chance to redeem."

Bai Daoxiang nodded, "I've put it down a long time ago, it's just your wife... By the way, Lingxiao, why did it take you so long to come?"

With an expression of fear of being punished, Ling Xiao said aggrievedly, "Master, the letter you sent to the palace was delayed for half a month somewhere, and I hurried over as soon as I received the letter."

"Well, it's not too late." Mr. Bai Daoxiang said, "You came here at this time, you must have your own plan."

Ling Xiao nodded.Sure enough, the master knew that her wedding was approaching, and also guessed that she would come to pick up his wife back to the palace, and then go to Hanlu Island after a while.

"I still have things to do. I set up a stall here just to keep an eye on your mistress, lest she run away when you find her. Now that you're here, I'll leave with peace of mind." Bai Daoxiang-jun said and began to tidy up. Fortune-telling booth, ready to leave.

"Master, are you not going back to the palace?"

Lord Bai Daoxiang seemed deaf to Ling Xiao's words, and didn't answer at all.

Ling Xiao pursed her lips in boredom, knowing in her heart that it is better not to ask about things that Master doesn't want to say.

**************

After Ling Xiao bid farewell to Master, he walked into the gate of the inn, and heard his wife's joyful voice: "Ling Xiao!"

"Master!" Ling Xiao looked at her, who was nearly forty years old, but she didn't look old at all, and her beauty couldn't be concealed even in ordinary clothes.

The teacher's wife's original family name is Qiu, and her first name is Caiwei. She is the daughter of a Jiangnan family. Because of the decline of Shanwu's family, she almost fell into a brothel.

"Aren't you about to get married soon? Why are you here?" Mistress asked.

Ling Xiao smiled awkwardly, she didn't know whether the wedding would be successful, because too many unexpected things happened.

"Haha, I passed by Yangzhou City, and I heard that there is a newly opened inn here with a first-class chef, so I wanted to try it out." Ling Xiao knew that his wife was the daughter of a family, and the food was always exquisite. The inn opened by his wife The food must not be bad.Ling Xiao is quite confident about her lie.

"It's not so exaggerated." The teacher smiled shyly as she said, she was a woman in her late forties, but she was still so good-looking when she was shy.

"Master, I didn't know that you are also good at cooking!" Ling Xiao said.

"Cooking skills are only learned in recent years, and the cooking is so-so. Besides, as a boss, I don't need to cook by myself. If you want to eat, tell the teacher, and I will let the cook do it." The teacher got up and went to the kitchen.

"No need, no need, Mistress, I'm not hungry." Ling Xiao hurriedly stopped Mistress, she said that cooking was just a conversation, after all, she hadn't seen each other for many years, so she said to Mistress, come back to the palace with me .Unexpectedly, Master Mistress actually took it seriously, Ling Xiao had a headache.

At this time, Ling Xiao had another idea, and said, "Master, I remember that you are good at dancing as well as being a girl. Can you teach me how to embroider in your spare time?"

After a while, I told my mistress by the way that the female worker in the palace wanted to learn from my mistress, and if it went well, I could bring my mistress into the palace.Lingxiao thought to himself.

"Oh. What does Xiao'er want to learn?" Teacher asked.

"Let's learn embroidery." Ling Xiao said, "I remember seeing my wife has an embroidery book, and the patterns on it are ancient gods, and the patterns are very special."

Speaking of this, the teacher's wife suddenly changed her face, and smiled unnaturally for a while, "My daughter's family should learn to embroider mandarin ducks and peonies."

Ling Xiao noticed the unusual mood of the teacher's wife, and immediately became alert, pretending to casually talk about the topic that caused the teacher's uneasiness. "Sheng Lian's national strength has declined in recent years. I want to learn to embroider some ancient auspicious clothes, and make a set of auspicious clothes for my father. I will wear them when I worship the heavens in the coming year."

Mistress looked up at the street, but her eyes didn't seem to be focused, "If you really want to learn, I'll teach you how to embroider mandarin ducks. As for the ancient gods you mentioned, I don't remember those patterns, and the embroidery books have long been lost." "Sighed, and said: "If your master wants you to come, you can tell him the exact words, the embroidered book is really lost."

What's going on here? Ling Xiao heard the overtones——the embroidered score she accidentally mentioned seemed to contain a hidden mystery.The master wanted to take the embroidered book from the master, but the master refused to give it?

Ling Xiao asked tentatively: "Master, do you recognize Master again?" Ling Xiao was afraid that she was thinking too much, she remembered that Master was suffering from hysteria, and would completely forget Master from time to time. What about Mistress's assumptions?

"I remembered, he set up a small stall outside my inn, and he has been guarding me day and night for a long time. At first I didn't know him, but I just thought he looked familiar, and then I slowly remembered, It turned out to be him, it's just..." Shi Niang said with a gloomy expression. "I haven't invited him into the inn, because I'm afraid that when my old illness relapses, I won't recognize him and hurt him again."

Ling Xiao thought: Master has been used to it for a long time. Once, the master's wife woke up early in the morning and became ill.

"Miss, my disciple has a ruthless request." Ling Xiao took a deep breath, and didn't want to go around with his wife anymore. Since she is not hysterical now, there is no need to coax her into the palace, just ask her directly.

"You say." Mistress looked at Lingxiao gently.

"Please go back to the palace with your apprentice, and I will take you to Hanlu Island in a while." Ling Xiao finished speaking in one breath. She didn't understand why Master sent Master to the deserted island, but Master's decision always Has his purpose, at least she believes that the master will not hurt the wife.

Mistress didn't say a word, she looked around the shop, her eyes full of reluctance.Her inn in Yangzhou City has not been open for a long time, but it does not mean that she has no feelings.After a while, Mistress returned her gaze to Ling Xiao and said, "Okay, wait a minute, I'll go and pack my luggage after explaining to Xiaoer, this inn has only been open for a while, and there aren't many guests, just close the door and walk away Now, I just want to explain to the cooks, mistresses, and maids who have been following me."

Master's non-questioning made Ling Xiao suspicious, and asked: "Master, you are going to Hanlu Island, and you won't be back in ten days and a half months. You may go for a year, a few years, or even... a lifetime. I I want to know, why did Master send you to Hanlu Island?"
