This wealthy man never hesitated to spend money for the sake of a kiln girl or fine wine. He spent twenty thousand taels of silver on the dead courtesan Changyi alone.
Needless to say, for ordinary people, even for wealthy families, this is a huge amount of money.
But strangely enough, Master Qian loves such an unlucky person the most. He has been reluctant to beat or scold him since he was a child.
Qian Duo was the eldest son and was expected to inherit the ancestral property in the future. However, after the monster incident in Yihong Courtyard, he became bedridden within a few days.
At first, Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian didn't take it too seriously, thinking that their son was just frightened after seeing the monster in Yihongyuan with his own eyes.
But after a few days, Qian Duo's maid found that Qian Duo was depressed, couldn't eat, and couldn't sleep well. She was always huddled in the corner, shivering and shouting: "Ghost... ghost..."
The wife felt sorry for her son and came to visit. Qian Duo grabbed his mother's hand and said that he had seen a ghost in the house.
Qian Lai always knew how to look at people's eyes, but when he saw Qian Duo insisting on claiming that there was a ghost, he personally went to find a Taoist priest to come to his home to perform the ritual. It is said that the Taoist priest had seen monsters in Yihongyuan, and he even warned the people in Yihongyuan.
Not long after, there was indeed a monster in Yihongyuan, and the monster even destroyed the building. The Taoist priest became famous after that, and he had performed rituals for Mr. Chu's family before, so he basically exorcised ghosts and evil spirits from wealthy families.
Everyone will go to him.
The Taoist priest received a large sum of money, and after the Qian Mansion did what he did, he claimed that the kid had been captured by him, so that Mr. Qian no longer had to be afraid.
But after that, the symptoms of having too much money got worse.
Master Qian was so worried that he couldn't help but mutter a few words when he met Master Chu.
Chu Ao asked Bai Qinghan: "When we entered the oiran's house that day, Mr. Qian was gone. What did you do to him?"
Bai Qinghan said calmly: "I just threw him downstairs."
Ruyi said: "Oh my God! That's the second floor. He must have been beaten into a fool by you! No wonder he keeps talking about seeing ghosts all day long!"
"I don't care if he is stupid or not! Speaking of which, I saved his life! If I hadn't taken action, he would have been sucked into a human by You Ji!" Bai Qinghan felt unfair for himself.
Chu Ao said: "Master Qian is like this now, and it's not really because of us. Due to circumstances, I, the only son of the Chu family, should pay him a visit."
Out of guilt, young master Chu Ao packed some gifts and went to Qian's Mansion with his adopted sister Ruyi and his friend Mr. Bai.
Master Qian saw that it was Young Master Chu who was coming, and greeted him personally. He held Chu Ao's hand and said, "My good nephew is interested."
"Uncle, you are so polite. Ever since I heard you said that Brother Qian was ill, my nephew has been thinking about it. I have free time today, so I came to take a look." Chu Ao said.
Mr. Qian patted Chu Ao's hand and nodded excitedly.
The concubine Qian Lai and Qian Yu are also there.
Ruyi observed several people carefully and found that Qian Lai had a good appearance and the appearance of a gentleman, not at all as shabby as Qian Duo.
Qian Yu was even cuter, with a tiger-like head and a tiger-like brain. He held a candied haws in his hand, turned to Ruyi's side, handed it to Ruyi, "Sister, sister, here's the candied haws for you to eat!"
Ruyi touched Qian Yu's head and said with a smile: "Thank you. My sister won't eat it."
Qian Lai said: "Qian Yu, don't pester your sister, go and have fun by yourself." There was a slight reproach in his tone, but his eyes were full of doting. It was obvious that Qian Lai loved his younger brother very much.
Xiao Qianyu made a sound and jumped away.
After exchanging polite greetings with each other, Mr. Qian asked Qian Lai to take them to visit his eldest son, Qian Duo.
