Chapter 85

Seeing that Mrs. Li didn't say anything, Yan Niaoyou guessed that maybe it was related to Li Congwen.

If the store business gradually improves, it is inevitable that they will confront Li Congwen, but the relationship between Uncle Li and Aunt Li and Li Congwen...

What a headache.

"Yo, they're all here, that's just right, I have something to say!"

A well-maintained lady came in from the door. There were two golden hairpins slanted on her head, and she was wearing a sapphire green satin dress. They were obviously two unflattering colors, but she looked extremely temperamental.

But her emotional actions after entering the door completely destroyed this beauty.

She first looked around at the empty shops, and she couldn't help showing a bit of contempt in her eyes.

It's all broken down like this, and it's still Wang Fu's life. It must be that old bald donkey who took advantage of the Chen family and said it in front of the old man on purpose, so that the old man settled the marriage without discussing with them.

If it was in the past, it would be fine if the Chen family and his wife were here. The Chen family and his wife only had one daughter, and sooner or later this shop would belong to the daughter.

But now that the Chen family and his wife are dead, the shop has closed down, and the orphan girl is naturally not a candidate for a daughter-in-law.

Yan Nianiao didn't like the way this woman looked at her, as if she was weighing something, she didn't say anything superior, and she didn't hide her dislike. Even though she knew who was coming, she kept a cold face and didn't say hello.

Mrs. Xu curled her lips, she was indeed a stinky girl without parental education.

Shopkeeper Li's frown has not been loosened since Mrs. Xu came in, but the young master is also there. If Mrs. Xu said something about retiring the engagement, what should I do?
But the young master ignored it, and for a moment he didn't know whether he should greet Mrs. Xu or not.

Mrs. Xu snorted coldly: "Is this what your parents taught you?"

Yan Yanyou smiled: "My parents taught me to open the door to do business. The so-called harmony makes money, which is to smile three times when you see people, but when you meet those who come looking for trouble, you don't need to greet them with a smile, lest people think you are easy to bully. .”

"Okay! You are so sharp-tongued at such a young age, let me see who dares to marry you, a troublemaker! Don't say you killed your own parents, what's the matter, you still want to kill my whole family?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Niao rolled her eyes openly.

She is also very helpless, two consecutive checkpoints are where her parents are away, and everyone scolds her in the same way.

"Ms. Xu is here to withdraw the engagement?" Yan Nianiao stopped talking and asked straight to the point.

Lady Xu was stunned for a while, why did Chen Baozhu react like this?
Shouldn't they be holding on to this marriage to their death?
You know, their Xu family can be regarded as one of the best families in Fulai County. How many good daughters want to marry into the Xu family, but the eldest son of the Xu family made a marriage contract early on. Whenever you go out to attend some kind of banquet, you will definitely be ridiculed by those little ladies overtly and secretly.

This was also one of the reasons why she didn't like Chen Baozhu.

Chen Baozhu is just a medicine jar, frail and sickly, who stays sick all the year round, which mother-in-law would like such a daughter-in-law?

If Chen Baozhu cried and shouted that she could not withdraw the engagement, she would hate it.

But Chen Baozhu's reaction was so indifferent, and she felt vaguely uncomfortable in her heart.

Shopkeeper Li heard the "retirement engagement" and said anxiously: "Ms. Xu! This engagement was made by Mr. Xu, how can Mrs. Xu come and withdraw the engagement on her own?"

Finally, there is a normal person.

Mrs. Xu helped the golden hairpin on her head, she didn't even look at Shopkeeper Li, but stared at Chen Baozhu's reaction, and said, "I'm his mother, so why can't I be the master?"

"Of course, if you insist on marrying my son, you can be a concubine. It just so happens that this shop is closed. As for the shop..."

Yan Youyou yawned lazily, if she didn't think it was unattractive in front of people, she would have wanted to stretch again.

She took out a jade pendant from her bosom, and decided to end this boring conversation early, wasting her expression.

"Here, Mrs. Xu, please keep it."

Mrs. Xu stared, why is it not the same as what she thought?
Yan Niao shook the jade pendant, and the jade pendant swayed in the air. Mrs. Xu pulled the jade pendant and specially emphasized: "You have to think clearly, after retiring the engagement, there is no room for maneuver, and you are not allowed to pick it up in the future." The Xu family!"

Yan Nianiao: "..." Some people don't understand the brain circuit of Mrs. Xu.

Does Mrs. Xu want to divorce or not?
Shaking his head, he went back to the backyard.

Mrs. Xu was so angry that she said a cruel sentence: "Don't regret it!"

Shopkeeper Li was impatient at first. Mrs. Xu wanted to retire. He felt bad before, and even wanted to find Mr. Xu to find out if it was true, but before he found it, Mrs. Xu came again!

She still wanted to divorce, but the young master not only did not refuse, but also took the initiative to return the engagement jade pendant.

He wanted to stop him, but recently the young master's idea was big, seeing that the young master's intention had been decided, he couldn't say much.

And Mrs. Xu's attitude is really beyond words...

When Mrs. Li heard about it, she reacted the most. She dragged Yan Nianiao to the Xu family to ask for an explanation!

"The Xu family is really deceiving people! There is no need to bury people like this. Now that the marriage contract has been made, how can they just quit?"

"Young Master, let's go find Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu will definitely not agree to just annul the engagement!"

Mrs. Li is strong, but her body is very weak. Yan Niaoliu was half-pulled and half-carried by Mrs. Li and was about to rush to the door. She quickly cast a look of help at the shopkeeper Li.

"Okay." Shopkeeper Li lived up to Yan Niaoyou's entrustment, and immediately stopped Mrs. Li's movements, "Why are you blah?"

"Why am I bluffing? People are bullying to the face, so why are you bluffing?"

"Okay, you despise me so much, do you also want to divorce me so that you can find the next one!"

Shopkeeper Li turned around in astonishment, how could this be involved?

"I'm not... You're simply making trouble out of no reason!" Shopkeeper Li flicked his sleeves, walked behind the counter, and flicked the abacus, but the more he flicked, the more depressed he felt.

Mrs. Li also covered her face and began to cry.

Yan Niao: "???"

By the way, how did this come about?

Yan Niaoling sighed, and first comforted Mrs. Li softly: "Aunt Li, don't cry, what can you tell us?"

It seemed that something was wrong when Aunt Li came back from shopping outside.

Hearing this, Mrs. Li froze for a moment, hurriedly wiped away her tears, got up and went to the backyard.

"It's okay, Young Master, I'm going to cook."

Yan Niaoyou had no choice but to look at Shopkeeper Li.

Shopkeeper Li stopped moving the abacus, and looked straight at the shaking curtain, as if he could see the situation inside through the curtain, with worried eyes.

"Uncle Li, go in and see Aunt Li?"

It's hard to say something about her young master, since there are only husband and wife in private, it should be better.

Shopkeeper Li was also worried about his wife. Hearing what the young master said, he hurriedly cupped his hands and went inside.

Yan Nianiao guarded the empty shop, doing nothing for a while.

The expected images of many guests only came true at the beginning, and she couldn't help but feel a little bored, so she walked through the alley and walked to the main street.

I don't know if the original body seldom comes out, she is very unfamiliar with this street.

When she saw the Li family's incense and candle shop at the head of the alley next door, people were coming and going, and the business was booming, she couldn't help being a little envious.

Tomorrow is Qingming, and most people will buy worship supplies in advance. She also wanted to get the shop's business back on track during Qingming.

She took it for granted.

Thinking that I can make some great incense candles, but also wishing to compete with Li Congwen and revitalize my own shop, hey, seeing his prosperity with my own eyes is like a blow to the head.

In Lanyue Academy, every time she makes a kind of incense, it can solve a person's problem, and even improve her cultivation level, she... is so happy.

Yes, what's so great about it, even an ordinary person can't compare it.

No, you can't think that way.

Even ordinary people have their strengths, how can they look at others so high.

Yan Niaoyou shook her head, trying in vain to dispel the condescending sense of scrutiny in her mind.

In the last checkpoint, including before this moment, since she was facing ordinary people, she knew very clearly that she was in the checkpoint, and it was just a task to be completed. Even if she used someone else's identity, she still felt I am Yan Niaoyou, not Lin Xiaocao, nor Chen Baozhu.

Therefore, when she looks at others, it is inevitable that she will show a thought of "I am not the same kind of person as you are".

In fact, what's the difference?

Even if she stepped onto the path of cultivating Taoism, wouldn't she be equal to the category of ordinary people on the day before she attained the Dao?
Thinking of this, Yan Niaoyou covered her face, feeling extremely ashamed.

Fortunately, she is also from the secular world, how could she have such an idea?
Taking another look at the Li Family Incense and Candle Shop, Yan Niaoyou looked back, turned and walked back.

With a "click", my mood seemed to relax.

Yan Niaoyou stopped, people around came and went, went and came, never stopped, but she seemed to be far away from everyone.

She closed her eyes, and the noise of the street reached her ears.

She seems to understand!

The reason Taixuanzong set up such levels is to train the mind!
After thinking it over, Yan Niaoyou walked back to the Chen family's incense and candle shop with a relaxed pace.

In the shop, shopkeeper Li and Mrs. Li had already prepared dinner and were waiting for her to come back.

"Young master, are you back? Are you hungry? The food is ready, go wash your hands and get ready to eat." Mrs. Li was smiling, and there was no sign of strangeness on her face.

"Okay, Aunt Li and Uncle Li have worked hard."

"Hey, please don't say that, Mrs. Li, Aunt Li, I only know how to wash the tea and rice. Mrs. Li waved her hand, and they couldn't help much when making incense candles. Mrs. Li's body is already weak. No, it still takes so much energy, she can only make the young master more comfortable in these trivial matters.

After dinner, Yan Niaoyi entered the room with the incense candles she had made before, ready to make improvements.

Mrs. Li glanced at the closed door worriedly, and asked suspiciously: "This incense candle is good enough, why is Young Master still not satisfied?"

Shopkeeper Li shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

Both of them stood quietly outside the door.

After about half an hour, Yan Niaoyou came out with a joss stick.

Shopkeeper Li and the two of them hurriedly looked at it, this...

Isn't this the same ordinary white joss stick?
The surface of the candle is indeed very smooth, without any engraved pattern, if I have to say, um... a little fat and cute?

Shopkeeper Li now understood Liu Dahe's mood in the morning.

"Young master, have the incense candles been improved?" Mrs. Li asked, why does it look like there is no improvement.

Yan Niaoyou nodded, ignoring the hesitation of the two, went to the kitchen to take out the torch, and lit the joss stick.

The faint flame came on, and the shopkeepers Li and Li couldn't help coming over, sniffing their noses, trying to find out something different.

Yan Nianiao, on the other hand, guarded the incense candle and stayed away from the two of them.

Seeing the two of them looking at her together, Yan Niaoyou explained: "If they are too close, they may block the way."

Shopkeeper Li laughed, the Young Master's family is really good at joking, how could it be in the way at night?

and many more!

Out of the way?

In whose way?

Shopkeeper Li and Mrs. Li turned their heads one after another. Apart from the three of them, there were only stone tables and benches left in the courtyard, no different from the store in front, they were all empty.

But the next moment, the two of them felt a gust of wind blowing around them, which was chilly and made people shiver for no reason.

Madam Li was about to say that the night was cool and let the young master's family enter the house, when she heard the young master's family say: "Don't squeeze."

She looked up in surprise, there were only three of them in such a big yard, how could it be crowded?
Could it be that the young boss started talking nonsense after getting caught in the wind?
But the next moment, she discovered that there were many more in the yard at some point... the same shadow?

people?still is?

"I said, everyone, can you line up?" Yan Niao held the incense candle firmly, stepped back half a step, but had an uncompromising expression on her face, "You have to obey me when you enter my yard, otherwise turn right when you go out."

After that, she wanted to blow out the incense sticks.

"Hey, you girl, don't be impulsive!"

"Yes, yes, everything is negotiable!"

"Let me smell it again, ah, it's really refreshing!"

"It's more than that, it's even more comfortable than when I was a human!"

It seems that her incense candles are still useful, Yan Niaoyou looked at the distinguished guests who were attracted by the incense candles in the yard, her eyes suddenly lit up surprisingly, all these are money!

It also happened to coincide with Qingming Festival, otherwise you would not see so many, and if you have to wait any longer, it will be the Ghost Festival.

At this time, an old man in the middle stroked his beard and asked, "Girl, your incense candle looks a little special."

The old man was in the water transportation business, moved to Fucheng when he made his fortune, and returned to his roots when he was old. He thought he had seen many novel things, but this kind of incense candle was the first time he came across it.

At this time, it is inappropriate to explain too much, Yan Niaoyou nodded calmly: "Yes, I added some spices."

The old man shook his head slightly. When his children and grandchildren came to worship him, they ordered the best kind of incense candles from Fucheng, exquisite and rich, but he never felt that the smell made him feel better physically and mentally. of.

Thinking of this, he pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask: "I don't know if this incense candle, girl, can be sold?"

"Of course it's for sale, but it costs one or two taels of silver each." Yan Yanyou thought for a while, and it's better to explain the price. If you think it's too expensive, you can prevent future generations from buying it, so as to save time and constant arguing.

"What? Only a tael of silver?"

"Oh, it's so cheap!"

"Yes, yes, you must buy it!"

"Buy, buy, buy, I'm going to find my unfilial son now!"

It comes like a gust of wind, and it dissipates quickly.

The incense candle in Yan Niaoning's hand has not been burned more than half.

It seems that tomorrow's business will be stable!
 Thank you cuties!
