The strongest vixen (17)(1/2)
Bai Yi asked Chu Xiang about some things that needed to be prepared for opening a shop and ran out to find the shop. Bai You looked out with some concern, "Can she be alone?"
Chu Xiang spread his hands and said, "You have to try everything alone to know if it's OK."
Bai You stroked the chess piece at his hand and hesitated: "But... Bai Yi has never had contact with so many people before. If someone reveals his feet, he is found to be a demon..."
Chu Xiang looked up at him and smiled and said, "Why don't you be careful when you are watching? Remember to change your appearance and don't be picked on by the banker's mother and son."
"Okay, then I'll go and have a look." Bai You got up immediately after getting the order, transformed into a little maid, and looked at Chu Xiang with an inquiring look.
Chu Xiang clapped his hands with satisfaction, "Bai You, you are so talented, you can always understand what I mean, go and act carefully."
"Yes." Bai You's blessing in disguise, and his voice turned into a female voice. He quickly walked out to chase Bai Yi.
Li Yufeng waved his hand to return to the chess pieces on the table, cleaned up, and said in confusion: "Why did you let Bai Yi open a shop?"
"Isn't it good to let her focus on other things? It's better than to put it on men."
As a "man", Li Yufeng touched his nose and smiled: "She met someone wrong, not all men are like this. It cannot be said that she met someone wrong. In fact, Zhuang Yulang has never done anything bad to her from beginning to end, and even saved her life. It is not because she is so persistent."
"Of course it's not her fault. There are so many silly women in the world. She just hasn't seen clearly yet. When she sees clearly that Zhuang Yulang is not someone to be entrusted, you can see if she is still so persistent." Chu Xiang stood up and stretched, sat on the swing under the big tree and swung gently, and smiled, "Zhuang Yulang is Yiyi's benefactor, Yiyi is here to repay her kindness. No matter how good she is to Zhuang Yulang, otherwise she will not be able to practice with this cause and effect. Let her be better for Zhuang Yulang."
"Do you want her to give up earlier?" Li Yufeng walked behind her and pushed her gently, sighing, "I think you will definitely not let Zhuang Yulang go on that day when Bai Yi is sad. But Zhuang Yulang is indeed Bai Yi's benefactor. It was him who saved Bai Yi's life. This is a great kindness. If you take action against him, you will be affected by cause and effect."
Chu Xiang looked at the sky and laughed out loud, "How could I deal with him? I don't know, don't worry."
Li Yufeng didn't feel relieved. Chu Xiang was extremely protective of her shortcomings. How could she let Zhuang Yulang go? But seeing that Chu Xiang had no intention of saying it, he stopped asking. He just thought silently in his heart that with his current identity, he could not help Chu Xiang much, and he had to think of a way.
He looked in the direction of the palace, fell silent, and the situation of being chased and seriously injured last time appeared in his mind. He never expected that he would come to the capital again, and he came in such a short time. However, with the woman accompanying him, it seemed that he would not care wherever he went.
He pushed Chu Xiang on the swing, bent the corners of his lips, and looked at Chu Xiang with an unprecedented gentle look.
Bai Yi wanted to open a shop, and the mother and son of the banker were shocked. Zhuang Liu was dissatisfied with Bai Yi's concealment of property, suspected that she still had a lot of money but had not said it. At the same time, she also wondered what her background was, and she actually had so much money.
Bai Yi compiled a set of stories based on Bai You Cult and successfully deceived their doubts. It was always a pleasure to open a shop, and Zhuang Liu and Zhuang Yulang's mood obviously improved. Zhuang Liu followed Bai Yi and helped him out, causing a lot of chaos to Bai Yi.
Bai Yi was a layman's exploration stage, and she felt that Zhuang Liu was more and more annoyed. She and Zhuang Yulang mentioned that Zhuang Liu's family would take care of him at home and not help him anymore. Zhuang Yulang was not good at expressing his opinion between Bai Yi and his mother, and only said that his mother had worked hard for most of her life, and asked Bai Yi to be more tolerant.
Bai Yi was very disappointed and very annoyed. Fortunately, Bai You was by her side and mentioned her. Bai You has lived in the world for many years and can help Bai Yi almost everywhere. Bai Yi is very grateful to him and is closer to him.
While they were still preparing, Chu Ji Teahouse opened. On the day of opening, Chu Xiang invited them all over, and invited people to dance dragons and lions, set off firecrackers, and opened in a high-profile manner. Each person tasted a cup of tea for free, which almost blocked the streets.
Bai Yi saw such a lively scene for the first time, and followed Chu Xiang and smiled excitedly, "Sister, it will be so lively when my shop opens."
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Okay, you must do it well when you open a shop, don't fool people casually."
"Of course, I will do it well. Bai You will help me, so you won't make any mistakes." Bai Yi is very confident. A powerful demon rarely has the confidence to do it. If she doesn't have the confidence, she will start over. One day she can do it well. If she doesn't have this belief, how could she cultivate such a high level of cultivation?
Zhuang Liu and Zhuang Yulang were on the second floor of the teahouse, standing by the window and watching the excitement outside, but they felt a little cramped and embarrassed that they had never seen the world. Zhuang Liu looked at Bai Yi who was joking with Chu Xiang and whispered: "That Bai Yi... She must be from everyone. Look at her, she has never been uncomfortable since she came to the capital, as if she should have been in such a prosperous place. There are so many people outside, there are many nobles, right? She is not afraid at all, she is very happy, you say she..."
"Mom, no matter what her origin is, we are all a family now, so don't say this anymore. She has no family, so it doesn't matter how she comes from. Yiyi is a lucky star and our noble person. You are kind to her." Zhuang Yulang could always feel the gap between the two women, which made him very tired, so he could only persuade both sides to give in.
Zhuang Liu nodded unwillingly, and then he thought that Bai Yi's shop was about to open, and he smiled happily, "Our family needs to have a shop, oh, I really never dreamed of it. You are right, Bai Yi is a lucky star, and is a member of our family."
The wealthy families emphasize not touching the dowry of women, but ordinary people like the Liu family in Zhuang did not have this idea. The family’s money should be controlled by the master, and the master of their family is just her! How can a young wife do the dowry by herself? These are all from their banker.
Zhuang Liu was thinking about beautiful things, but Zhuang Yulang didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, the people he came into contact with lived like this, and no one taught him anything else.
The best location in the capital is already attracting attention, but suddenly, outsiders opened teahouses in such a high-profile manner, which naturally attracted people from all walks of life to investigate. Chu Xiang's teahouse business is very popular, and her tea is indeed good enough. There are also storytellers in the teahouse and funny. The enjoyment it brings to people is unprecedented, so naturally it can retain repeat customers.
Gradually, all the dignitaries and nobles in the capital like to come. They regard this place as a leisure place. They can also go to the private room on the third floor when talking about things. They are very private and very satisfying.
Bai Yi opened a pharmacy and helped people see a doctor. This is Bai You's expertise, and Bai Yi can also treat people's diseases, so it's not difficult to do it. Treating patients is a good thing, so Chu Xiang didn't care much and let them continue to do it themselves.
Zhuang Liu was not very satisfied because she didn't know anything about medicinal materials, and she couldn't figure out the calculations, so she couldn't get it in. But Bai Yi said that her family was a medical family, and she only knew how to do this, and she made all the money back. What else could Zhuang Liu say? She had to hold back even if she was dissatisfied, and no one cared about it.
Anyway, their lives are obviously better, they are dressed brightly, and they are more confident when going out. Zhuang Yulang has started to attend poetry and tea parties for students in the capital. Sometimes the tea parties will be held in Chu Xiang's teahouse. He is not as cramped as before when he goes to Chu Xiang's teahouse, but instead he feels proud.
Every time Chu Xiang saw it, he thought it was ridiculous. Money was made by Bai Yi. Where did Zhuang Yulang get the confidence? This was in ancient times, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Even if Zhuang Yulang didn’t make money, he would feel that he was superior to others after passing the imperial examination. He was indeed superior to others, but his literary talent was not very good. Every time he attended a tea party, he was not as good as others. Li Yufeng was much better than him.
Chu Xiang also joked with Li Yufeng, "Why didn't you really go to the scientific exam? Maybe you did much better than him."
Li Yufeng smiled complacently, "Of course I did better than him in the exam. I was almost three yuan back then."
Chu Xiang was surprised, "Hmm? Have you really passed the exam?"
Li Yufeng raised his eyebrows at her, "Of course, don't you look like this? I'm really a juren, but I haven't passed the exam if I have something to do. I'm qualified to refer to this time."
"Then you go and take the exam. It's better to come back with the top scorer. Then we can open another top scorer building, which is worthy of its name."
"Okay, if you like it, I'll come back to the exam and play for you."
Chu Xiang has never had a subject exam, but she has passed the exam in modern times, so of course she knows that for practitioners, clever ears and good memory are all beneficial to learning. If you have some talent, it is not difficult to get a good exam. Maybe Li Yufeng has this talent. He said that she thought he could do it and explained: "Remember to Wenshu, you must do better than Zhuang Yulang."
"Okay." Li Yufeng agreed immediately, and the next day he found a bunch of books, reading one by one in the teahouse, and occasionally writing articles.
After all, it is a minority of things like catching ghosts and subduing demons. Even if people encounter it, their first reaction is to pray to gods and Buddhas, rather than to come to the teahouse for help. This kind of thing cannot be widely publicized, and there must be secretly spreading the monument bit by bit, so Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng have not waited for the help seeking help and were not in a hurry at all.
On that day, a lady in her forty years came to the teahouse. When she took two maids to the private room on the third floor, she happened to meet Chu Xiang who was about to go down. Chu Xiang looked at her and stopped, "Madam, your Yin Tang is black, your eyes are blue, and your body is very ghostly. It seems that she is entangled by an evil ghost. There will be a bloody disaster within three days."
The maid next to her shouted: "What are you talking about?!"
The lady raised her hand to stop the maid from talking, looked at Chu Xiang seriously, and sighed: "Miss is beautiful, I have never seen anyone more beautiful than a girl."
Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Thank you for your praise from my wife. There is a kind of tea in the small shop called "Chu Ji". If Mrs. has any difficulties, please order a cup of "Chu Ji", and someone will lead her to see me. The evil ghost is coming in a fierce manner. Madam is more careful and loses her companion."
Chu Xiang was going to meet the supplier, but without saying much to her, he walked around her and went downstairs.
The maid was a little dissatisfied and felt that Chu Xiang had neglected his wife. However, the lady glanced at Chu Xianggao and whispered: "Only those with strength have confidence. This girl is not an ordinary person. Let's go."
The wife came to the teahouse because she was private and had a good sense of privacy. She met a Taoist priest to solve the abnormal situation at home. However, Chu Xiang saw her inappropriateness at a glance, which left a deep impression on her. After the fellow Taoist priest said that, she always felt that Chu Xiang's ability seemed to be higher than that Taoist priest.
Three days later, the little maid who scolded Chu Xiang hurriedly came. As soon as she entered the teahouse, she grabbed the waiter's hand and cried: "Take me to see your boss's wife, please, you can get as much money as you want, hurry!"
The waiters were all found by Li Yufeng, and they knew something was wrong at first sight, so they quickly brought the person to Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang saw the little maid who was crying and said, "What happened to your wife? Is it serious?"
The little maid nodded like pounding garlic and cried, "Boss, I was ignorant and ignorant that day. You don't remember the villain's life. Please go and see my wife! You said that her wife will have a bloody disaster within three days. There was a Taoist priest who opened the altar and said that he had driven away the ghosts, so we believed it. Who knew that the wind suddenly blew up just now, and such a high candlestick rack hit the wife's body. The vase on the table suddenly fell and hit the wife's head. The wife had a lot of blood... "
The little maid cried while gesturing, and she was so angry that she was out of breath. It can be seen that it was really serious. This abnormal phenomenon made her frightened and trembled all over when she spoke.
Li Yufeng came over and asked Chu Xiang, "Come on, go and have a look?"
"Of course." Chu Xiang stood up and patted the little maid's shoulder. A stream of spiritual power entered the little maid's body. Her face was much better, "Let's go, lead the way, your wife can't wait. By the way, I'll ask someone to go to Zhuangji Pharmacy to hire a doctor. They have good medical skills."
"Yes, yes, I'll call someone right away." The little maid didn't come out by herself, so she immediately ordered someone to go to Zhuangji Pharmacy to invite someone. Their ladies had so much blood, so of course they hired a doctor, but since Chu Xiang named Zhuangji, they must have invited him.
Zhuangji Pharmacy was a medicine shop opened by Bai Yi. At that time, Bai Yi wanted to call it "Baiji", which was thought of by Chu Xiang's teahouse name. However, Zhuang Liu was very disliked and said that they were a family and should be called "Zhuangji". Zhuang Liu insisted that Bai Yi had nothing to say, but it was just a shop anyway, so he finally called it "Zhuangji".
Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng went to Chen's mansion where the wife was. They met Bai Yi and Bai You who were coming at the door. The four of them went in with the little maid. As soon as they entered the door, they felt a strong yin energy.
Bai Yi looked around and sent a message to them, [This evil ghost has not been around for many years, but has done many bad things, which has harmed many people.]
Chu Xiang became a little interested, [Today we opened on the first day, clean it up well, and it can be considered to eliminate harm for the people.]
Li Yufeng touched his chin and was speechless, [Why do I feel that you two demons are more like righteous people than me? This really makes me feel the whole world.]
[Wrong!] Chu Xiang smiled faintly, [We don’t care about the world, we just find it interesting.]
Bai You smiled gently and said: [No matter what it is for, it is a merit. Let’s go and heal the wounds for that lady first.]
When the four of them arrived, Mrs. Chen's yard was already full of people. The old lady Chen's mansion, the old man, the young master Chen and the young master in the mansion, were all here, worried and afraid. There was also a Taoist priest and a doctor.
Chu Xiang waved his hand and put a jade pendant on Bai Yi to cover up her demonic aura. He calmly entered the room to see Mrs. Chen's situation.
Mrs. Chen's face turned blue, her breath was weak, and her body was very yin. No matter what she said, she would not have lived for two days.
The Taoist priest invited by the Chen family was displeased and said, "Don't cause trouble for the messy people, Lord Chen..."
The little maid hurriedly said, "Master, this is the master invited by the wife. She is very accurate. When we met at the teahouse before, the boss's wife could see that the wife was plagued by evil ghosts at a glance. She also asserted that the wife had a bloody disaster within three days, which has come true now. Please let her see for her!"
"Oh?" Lord Chen is the Minister of Rites and is also involved in some such things on weekdays. Hearing this, he looked at Chu Xiang solemnly.
He was shocked by Chu Xiang's appearance at first. None of the concubines in the palace could compare with Chu Xiang. How could such a woman have never heard of? Then he found that Chu Xiang was extremely young, and he was only on the 10th day of the day, but his demeanor was unmatched and should not be underestimated.
Lord Chen bowed and said politely: "I don't know what the master calls him."
Chu Xiang smiled faintly and said, "Just call me Boss Chu. I run Chuji Teahouse. In addition to selling tea, I also help people solve some difficult and complicated diseases, just like your wife. Can I see Mrs. Chen?"
"Of course, please, Boss Chu." Lord Chen has been in the officialdom for many years and believes in his own vision of people. He intuition that Chu Xiang has an extraordinary origin, so he invited Chu Xiang to the bed despite the dissatisfaction of the Taoist priest. The Taoist priest's method of opening the altar is useless, and he naturally puts his hopes on Chu Xiang now.
Bai Yi followed Chu Xiang to the bed and took medicine from the medicine box to prepare medicine for Mrs. Chen. The little maid whispered to Master Chen. Seeing that Bai Yi was skillful, Mr. Chen thought about it and did not stop him. The doctor next to him did not even speak, so he naturally would not stop him.
When Bai Yi was treating Mrs. Chen, Chu Xiang held Mrs. Chen's hand and used spiritual power to investigate her condition. The yin energy was eroding her internal organs, and the situation was indeed very serious.
Chu Xiang asked the little maid to bring cinnabar and talisman paper, wrote three spiritual talismans, silently recited the formula and pasted it on Mrs. Chen's forehead, dantian and soles.
Lord Chen couldn't help asking, "Boss Chu, this is..."
Li Yufeng explained from the side: "This is to protect her from being invaded by evil spirits and protect her heart, so that her injuries will not worsen, and that the evil spirits will have an opportunity to take advantage of it."
"Oh, okay, okay. Then this evil ghost may be driven away? Where is this evil ghost now?" Lord Chen frowned with concern.
Li Yufeng held the compass in his hand and pointed to the northeast and said, "The evil ghost is in that direction. You don't need to panic. Ask everyone in the mansion to gather here to be safe and worry-free. I will follow Boss Chu to expel ghosts in the northeast."
Chu Xiang nodded, "That's right, you don't have to follow me to avoid causing trouble."
The Taoist priest disagreed and must go over and take a look. This involves his face and reputation. No matter whether Chu Xiang can exorcise ghosts or not, he will see what happened. Chu Xiang doesn't care, if he wants to follow him, let him follow him.
So Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng walked towards the northeast of Chen's mansion, and the Taoist priest followed behind him with a Taoist boy. The more he walked, the more yin energy became. In Chu Xiang's eyes, there was even a faint black mist condensed there in the northeast.
Li Yufeng whispered: "Be careful, don't be careless every time you take action."
"I know." Chu Xiang walked over with brisk steps, opened his palm and sucked a few stones, threw them into a formation, blocking the evil ghost's way.
To be continued...
