Madam Shu Sanniang was about to break her guard, but she came to the rescue again with a sense of calm: "I heard that in Xuandu Temple, there is a Taoist immortal master who can conquer the ghosts and the underworld and cleanse the evil atmosphere."
Li Yan nodded slightly: "Will Xuandu watch?"
The reason why Li Yan suddenly wanted to ask this question was not because he believed there was someone who could catch ghosts, but because he was preparing to seek help from professionals.
If the people who are most familiar with the art of pretending to be gods and ghosts are none other than Taoist monks.
Through them, you might be able to find new ideas and narrow down the scope of suspects.
If you don’t ask for one of Conan’s three choices, three hundred would be too much!
Seeing Li Yan change the topic after asking a few more details about Xuandu Temple, Lady Shu Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief.
Her eyes moved, and she quickly asked her maid to fetch a volume of Buddhist scriptures, which she offered devoutly: "This volume of the Golden Light Sutra was obtained by me from Ci'en Temple and is given to Mr. Li Xiaolang. I wish Mr. Li Xiaolang everything is safe.
No evil will invade."
Li Yan didn't mean to embarrass her, but he was a little embarrassed and accepted it: "Shu already knows what he means!"
The topic of ghosts was over, and Lady Shu Sanni chatted about some interesting things and held the three of them comfortably.
Although she met weird people, she still thought this class was easy in her heart.
Pingkangfang has a great reputation, and the intensity of the involution is beyond imagination.
Even the lower-grade Beiqu needs to develop its intelligence, body and beauty in an all-round way.
Charming appearance and graceful body are just the basics. Quick reaction and high emotional intelligence are required. The orchid must dance with lotus flowers, and the Han Dynasty lady must write poems and songs.
Whether you are talking in daily life or joking, you must be able to compose poetry at all times.
For example, some guests who think they are talented compose an impromptu poem. They all know that the lady will immediately sing the harmony and return the poem to win the applause of the whole house.
Cao Zhi's poem in seven steps is a made-up story, but everyone knows that the lady really has to be close to completing the poem in seven steps, otherwise she will not deserve the fame and appearance fee.
Of course, everyone knows that if a lady takes the initiative to write a poem and give it to a guest, the guest will have to give her a poem in return to gain face, otherwise she will be ridiculed for her lack of talent.
Those who are famous for time-traveling and copying poems had better not come here, otherwise they will be beaten back to their original form in minutes.
Li Yan and the other three were not interested in poetry, and Shu Sanniang didn't have to be ready to recite poetry impromptu at any time, so she felt much more relaxed.
After eating the meal for an hour, we were full of wine and food, and the atmosphere was heightened to this point, and it was finally time to start firing.
Of course, how can things involving officials be called firing? This is called exchange and learning.
Mrs. Shu San was very sensible: "I have collected several wonderful poems and poems in my room. I wonder which husband is willing to taste them together with me?"
Li Yan said with a smile: "Brother Qiu, it's better to enjoy yourself. I hope Shu Douzhi can give me some advice."
Naturally, the soothing feeling will not overwhelm others, so he shouted: "It's very, very good. Please work harder, Shu Dou, and use more postures to teach Brother Qiu!"
"Oh, you guys are really..."
Qiu Shenji pretended to be humble, but his face was filled with joy.
I am finally no longer a foil!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
However, right here, a heavy knock on the door suddenly came from outside the yard. The noise was so loud that it faintly reached the backyard.
The fake mother's face changed, and she hurriedly came out, and then she heard a burst of shouting and cursing.
Qiu Shenji's face instantly darkened.
An Shengan was also very unhappy: "The fake mother just put up a sign, what's going on?"
These independent courtyards in Nanqu all have tokens hanging outside their doors.
If it hangs up, it means there are guests, please don't disturb.
Those who can come here to spend money are all respectable and decent people, and of course they will look elsewhere.
Now the collision outside has offended not only Mrs. Shu San, but also their guests.
Li Yanze noticed that Mrs. Shu Sanni's expression changed drastically, and she no longer had the all-round appearance she had just before.
She must have known who the visitor was, and judging from his appearance, she was extremely frightened.
"I don't know what it means, but I want to see who is acting arrogantly outside!"
Qiu Shenji's face was filled with anger, he snorted coldly, took off his sword from the rack, and strode out.
He is still very cautious, knowing that the more vocal the venue is, the more likely conflicts will occur if he takes the weapon, so he cannot suffer any loss.
"I'll go too!"
To calm the mind and feel loyalty, I also want to accompany Qiu Shenji.
"Let's go together!"
Li Yan sighed in his heart and said.
He always believed that it was stupid to be jealous and fight in the land of fireworks.
But at this time, if you don't come forward together, it will be an act of cowardice and will be looked down upon by the world. You really have to do it.
The land of fireworks is indeed not a good place. I, Li Yuanfang, will be afraid of ghosts when I come here again, huh!
However, at this moment, Mrs. Shu Sanni stopped in front of her and said hurriedly: "You three gentlemen, please don't go. You should leave through the side door as quickly as possible. You can't afford to offend anyone who comes!"
Qiu Shenji and An Shengan immediately showed displeasure, waving their hands and saying, "Shu Douzhi, please get out of the way. This matter has nothing to do with you. The one who comes is going to hurt our face, how can we back down?"
Li Yan was satisfied with her service attitude. He nodded and said, "Shu Duzhi has good intentions, and we understand it."
Seeing that she couldn't stop her, Lady Shu Sanni simply leaned into Qiu Shenji's ear and whispered a name.
"What!"
Qiu Shenji's expression suddenly changed, and then he asked: "Where is the side door?"
Li Yan: "..."
Soothing feeling: "..."
Isn't it right? You get scared so quickly?
Mrs. Shu Sanni breathed a sigh of relief and immediately led them towards the side door.
Anshengan was still reluctant, but it was Qiu Shenji who paid the money. This gathering was also to celebrate his entry into the official position. The principal of the family shrank, so there was really no need to rush forward.
It's just that he has an idea in his mind. He won't have anything to do with this coward anymore. He can't afford to lose this person.
Mrs. Shu San quickly walked, leading the three of them to the back garden, opened the side door, and hurriedly saluted: "I hope you, the three gentlemen, will forgive me for my rudeness, and I will make up for it in the future!"
Seeing her anxiously closing the door, turning around and running back, Li Yan looked at Qiu Shenji: "Who is here?"
Qiu Shenji's lips trembled and he whispered: "They are from Duke Zhou's mansion!"
Li Yan was stunned: "Dong Guo of Zhou?"
Zhou Guogong's warrior Xun, isn't he the father of Empress Wu? He mentioned it when I saw the Buddha statue not long ago.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Who is Zhou Guogong now?
Li Yan thought for a while before he understood, and said secretly: "It's He Lan Minzhi! Is that guy not dead yet?"
An Shengan's expression also changed drastically. He immediately understood why Qiu Shenji ran away and muttered: "The Duke of Zhou is arrogant and domineering, and we really can't afford to offend him!"
"But my twenty gold pieces... twenty gold pieces!"
Qiu Shenji's heart was bleeding.
The Qiu family has entered decline. Although his family is wealthy, twenty gold is not a small amount.
He lost ten pieces of gold in Liangzhou, which made him feel distressed for a long time. It was nothing to go to Famen Temple to give him hardware. No matter how poor he was, he couldn't afford to be a monk. But this time, he wanted to take advantage of the joy of becoming an official to be extravagant, but he didn't expect to encounter this again.
This kind of thing is really painful.
I want to get it back, but I really can’t save my dignity. Besides, they are also eating and drinking in Shu Sanniang’s courtyard. Should these expenses be included and the gun money be taken back separately?
After thinking about it, Qiu Shenji knew that he would probably end up being mute this time, so he said goodbye to Li Yan and An Shengan without tears, and rode away weakly.
An Shengan also felt disappointed and said to Li Yan: "Yuanfang is going back to the Duke's mansion today. I won't bother you. He will definitely come to my house to talk to you some other day!"
Li Yan bowed his hands and said, "Okay!"
Watching the two of them walk away, Li Yan shrugged, not too angry.
He knew that He Lan Minzhi was going to die, just a few months after Mrs. Rong Guo's death.
This guy is considered a weirdo. Mrs. Rong Guo was his protective umbrella. However, the grandmother had just died and had not even passed the filial piety period. She started to have fun and was captured by the furious Empress Wu. She was strangled to death with a horse rope during her exile.
Already.
This is what is written in history. The specific details may be different, but they are similar. There is nothing to be angry about for a person who is about to receive a box lunch.
On the contrary, it is the Duke of Wei who is also in Pingkangfang...
Li Yan got on his horse, looked in that direction, and took a deep breath.
Are you finally going to meet Li Jing’s eldest son and his father, Li Derjian?
As a child who has been abandoned and ignored in Liangzhou for more than ten years, what attitude should we adopt to face it?
"Yuanfang! Yuanfang!"
Unexpectedly, just as he exited the alley, an anxious shout came from behind.
Li Yan looked back at the returning Anshen: "What happened?"
An Shengan's face was full of shock and anger, and he said in a hateful voice: "Brother Qiu is surrounded by people from Duke Zhou's mansion!"
Li Yan was puzzled: "He had a head-on conflict with the other party for Shu Douzhi?"
Being angry for a beauty? Qiu Shenji is not like that kind of person...
An Shengan shook his head: "It was Brother Qiu who exposed himself. The fake mother told him about his spending twenty gold at a time, which aroused the greed of those people and actually chased him. It was obvious that they wanted to exploit him before letting him go.
…”
Li Yan: "..."
Thinking about what Qiu Shenji had gone through since he met him, he sincerely sighed: "Why is this guy so unlucky?"
Qiu Shenji, whose courtesy name is Leek and whose nickname is Fengchengji, is known as Mushi Sheng in the world.
