Chapter 175

"It's getting late, and I happened to be talking about some gods and ghosts, I've seen and heard in the capital." The slightly fat storyteller came out, shook his folding fan, and fanned his slightly sweaty face, "Let me listen to you in the shade."

Immediately below, a familiar chief consultant said:

"What are you talking about today, sir?"

"Everyone must have heard about what happened in the Taiwei's mansion a few days ago, and the government also issued an announcement, explaining what happened." The storyteller said, "Yesterday afternoon, the man who deceived the Taiwei with demons and sorcery The demon has been caught by the officials, and it's embarrassing to say, a dignified captain, he is so stupid in his old age."

"What does that monster look like?"

"It's not three-headed and six-armed, nor is it thick-backed, but a strange man who knows magic tricks. He is short and thin and has a goatee. I heard that he will be dragged to the street tomorrow morning, and he should also come to our place. Let’s go, if you want to take a look at that time, you just need to sit on the side of the street with a bench.” The storyteller stared at his eyes, and his tone became strange, as if he wanted to highlight Some kind of atmosphere that attracts attention in a different way to--

"Everyone, don't think that this person is ugly, and just underestimate him!"

Sure enough, everyone stopped talking and just stared at him.

Mr. Storyteller was very satisfied with everyone's reaction. It could be seen that this was also his ability to get money, and then he snorted coldly: "That monster can deceive the Taiwei around, even in the capital city and at the foot of the emperor, he dares to use his demon so blatantly. How can you not have some skills if you don't get discovered by the priests?"

It was a little quieter down below.

"Gossip!" The storyteller lowered his voice, "I heard that after the demon escaped, it was the master of the Juxian Mansion who was sent by the national teacher to find out where he escaped. Then the master of the Juxian Mansion joined forces with Wu Dewei The imperial army searched together, and he killed many people before they caught him."

"so smart!"

Immediately there was surprise below.

Now is the prosperous age, and the national strength of Dayan is also strong. On the one hand, everyone is honored and at the same time, they also recognize the strength of the imperial court. They feel that the king is high, even the emperor of heaven and Buddha must give way. On the other hand, they also fully trust Juxian Mansion and Wu Dewei. With the skills of the imperial army, I felt that no matter how high the skills of a master in the world, it should be easy to catch him in such a big battle with the court, so he was surprised.

To some extent, this also explains the thoughts of the people in Changjing at this time.

The god of chaos in the prosperous government.

"So the villain would like to advise everyone that tomorrow the government will escort that person to patrol the streets. Someone may throw stones at him and throw vegetables and leaves for fun. Don't do this, gentlemen! It's just that this kind of monster, who knows if he has other means? If the big guy gets into bad luck, it won't be worth it, right?" After the storyteller finished speaking, he quickly lowered his voice and posed Weak posture, "Of course, this is just the villain's experience in telling stories for many years, and it's just the villain's advice to you! If you spend money, you will be the villain's parents. Naturally, the villain can't let the guest officials suffer. no?"

The bottom one applauds.

Clinking on the stage.

The guests were happy and didn't think about it. When they were happy, they threw a few coins up.

The storyteller bowed his hands to express his thanks, and persuaded again: "But gentlemen, please don't say it outside. The government will definitely wish that this kind of monster will be thrown more stones and leaves by the common people. If the villain is here to persuade you not to do such a thing If it gets out, the government will definitely not be happy after hearing it.”

The implication is that it is for everyone's sake at the risk of offending the government.

There was another jingle on the stage.

Song You smiled.

This gentleman is very capable.

It can be heard that most of what he said were lies, or guesswork, even the officers and soldiers went to arrest the demon and killed many people, it is likely to be false, but Song You still found it interesting.

Raise a cup of tea and look outside.

It was already dark in Changjing. Although there were lights, they were far less bright than later generations, and far worse than the streets in Dongcheng.The street is pitch black, and the lights in the house are like beans, and you can barely see things, like the night when the power was cut off in the countryside in the previous life, and the people walking on the street are all black shadows.

There are many people leaning against the door of the teahouse, spending the summer time listening to the fairy tales of the storyteller.

Such entertainment is okay.

It's just that the tea is a little bitter.

I heard that there is a tea house in Changjing called An Le Guan. The tea art is a must in Changjing, and it is also the pioneer of tea ceremony in the world today.

The Taoist's wallet is full at this time.

"The Taiwei is old and fatuous, and he indulged too much, which made him lawless and reckless in Changjing, and now he has been tainted with demons, which is even a big taboo in the court. According to me, the Taiwei's family should be expelled from the capital. , but until now His Majesty didn’t have that intention, so what’s the point in your opinion?”

"Naturally, the Chang family and the Queen have the same surname."

"Hey, I don't think it may be..."

"What's the point?"

"Everyone knows that it is a god who came down to punish the master of Taiwei's Yamen, but he forgot. When he left, the god also said that if the Yamen and the steward do good deeds in the future, and come to Changjing again in the future, hearing about their good deeds will restore them. As usual, if we drive them out of the capital and the gods come back later, where will we go to find them?"

"The gods wanted to find it, but how could they not find it?"

The voices in the teahouse were still coming and going. Compared with Goulan, this place was much more casual. The Taoist had already finished his tea, got up and left.

At the end of May, in midsummer, the sky is full of stars.

Pedestrians walk among them, as if not aware of it.

But as soon as he approached the door of the house, he saw a figure jump down from the window on the second floor, fell directly to the ground, then stumbled up and ran away.

It was dark at night and bumped into many pedestrians.

There was a murmur of dissatisfaction in the night.

The Taoist didn't care, and went straight home.

The house was darker than the outside, and as soon as the oil lamp was lit, a three-coloured cat showed its head on the stairs, stared at him and said, "Taoist, someone came to our house to steal things just now."

"Did Empress Sanhua beat him away?"

"Mistress Sanhua just wanted to beat him away, but he jumped out of the window and ran away."

"That must be Mistress Sanhua scaring him away!"

"really?"

The cat stared at him with wide eyes.

"Maybe."

The Taoist took the oil lamp and went to the back room to fetch water for washing.

Sanhuamao immediately came down from the stairs, followed him, and stared at him tiltedly: "Is that person here to steal our money?"

"I stole the painting."

"Oh……"

The cat seemed to be relieved.

"Miss Sanhua, tell me..."

"Miss Sanhua, let me tell you..."

"I've gotten rich recently, how about I take Empress Sanhua to Anle Pavilion for a cup of tea?" the Taoist asked while washing.

"Is it bitter water?"

“Best tea in Changjing.”

The cat stared at him for a while before asking, "How much will it cost?"

The Taoist smiled while washing his face.

……

The Taoist began to open the door.

As he thought, after closing the door for so long, many people knew his attitude, and as he thought, some people still came to ask for a visit.

These people may not all be thick-skinned dignitaries in the city, some are just curious, or simple-minded, some haven't been here these days, so they don't know that he has been closed for nearly half a month, and some are indeed simply looking for him It exorcises evil spirits and demons, removes rats and worries.

The Taoists received them one by one.

But at this time, he has withdrawn the trick of exorcising evil spirits and subduing demons. If the common people who came to him to exorcise evils and subdue demons really need help, then he will go there. There were too many things to deal with, and the Taoists almost always declined, asking them to find the folk masters in Changjing.

As for those who came to ask Empress Sanhua to get rid of rats and worry, for the sake of Empress Sanhua's happiness, the Taoist almost never refused.For dignitaries and dignitaries, the price is still the same as before, [-] yuan a time.

A lot of tedious things are missing, but it is not as clean as imagined.

A few days later, it was the summer season.

Completely entered the dog days.

Song You picked a cooler early morning, changed into ordinary clothes, brought the little girl, and arrived at the Anle Hall in Dongcheng early.

Although it was early at this time, there were not many people in the museum.

The clothes are very expensive, and I think they are rich people.

The guy was very enthusiastic and introduced to him:

"It's the first time for the guest officer, and he came here early in the morning. The younger one recommended Changmiaochun to the guest officer. The tea is rich in fragrance and produces fluid in the mouth. It is the most refreshing. The guest officer will be energetic all day long. If it is after half an afternoon, it may be I dare not recommend this pot of tea to the guest officer, because I can’t sleep at night after drinking it.”

"how much is it?"

"Not expensive, three hundred dollars per pot, and a plate of fruit for you."

"do you have anything else?"

"I recommend Xianrenyin to the guest officer. This tea has been very popular recently. Its tea has a light and long-lasting fragrance. You can taste a pot leisurely, like a mountain god. It only costs [-] yuan a pot, and no fruit will be given away." The waiter smiled. He said, "I'm free now. If the guest officer wants to, please invite the best tea doctor in our shop to brew for the guest officer."

"Those guys over there are drinking..."

"Oh, that's our shop's signature. The Green Bamboo Appreciation that nobles like, it's the shop owner who makes tea and paints flowers himself. It costs [-] yuan a cup. The taste and viewing are both unique." Brewing. The old shop owner is getting old and has changed to a new shop owner, but the new shop owner is the eldest son of the old shop owner, and he is good at tea art, so it is really in the same line, not bad at all."

Whenever money was mentioned, the little girl frowned.

But Empress Sanhua was very distressed.

"I like this."

"Have a cup?"

"Two."

"Do you want some fruit?"

"Do you have any recommendations?"

"The prunes made by the shop, the best dried meat, sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and sapphire dumpling are all selling well, and you can put together several of them. The shop has a guaranteed reputation and will never charge money randomly."

"I want a plate of jerky, and the rest can be put together on a plate."

"okay!"

The guy was very diligent and left immediately.

Empress Sanhua's fair brows had a few small wrinkles, which made people want to laugh and smooth them out.

It is probably because I have endured too much hardship and become a habit, so I have not realized for so long that poverty and lack of money are actually two different things. Taoists are only poor when they are poor, and rarely when they are short of money.
