When it comes to concubines, one thing has to be said. The Chu family has always had a single inheritance. This seems to have nothing to do with how many concubines are married. For several generations, the Chu family has only had one direct son, and other concubines cannot have children even if they want to.
Therefore, the concubines' dreams of relying on their sons to win favor were shattered one after another. Not to mention sons, they didn't even have daughters.
This is the case for Mr. Chu, and this is the case for Mr. Chu’s father and grandfather.
As soon as the Taoist priest entered the small courtyard where Ruyi was, he was driven back by the stench that hit his face.
Later, I could only endure it by taking two pieces of cloth and stuffing them into my nostrils.
"You guys wait at the door. If anything happens, I will call you." The Taoist priest nodded to everyone and went into Ruyi's house.
There were several oil lamps and three or four heaters placed in the room, which should make people feel very warm and comfortable. But as soon as the Taoist priest stepped in, he felt that the hairs all over his body stood up, and a chill came into his heart.
He felt something was wrong, and tremblingly took out a small octagonal mirror from his arms.
Although the Taoist priest is a liar and was not born in Laoshan at all, he still has some magical artifacts on his body. This small octagonal mirror once belonged to a wandering monk. This monk called himself the Happy Buddha.
However, it was he who the Buddha was paying attention to. This monk was strange to say. He drank a lot, ate meat and visited brothels, but he still had some ability.
The monk is good at catching ghosts, so this small octagonal mirror is used to look at ghosts. If a person is possessed by a ghost, you can tell with this small mirror.
A hundred years later, no one collected the monk's body, so the beggars took away the remains and sold them. Seeing the simple and unique shape of the thing, and having heard rumors about the monk, the Taoist became cruel and took it from the beggar.
I bought this little mirror from here.
But this mirror can only reflect ghosts, but it has no power to collect ghosts. Even if it has only one use, it adds a lot of color to the Taoist priest's career as a liar. At least, he can see what he is facing. What he usually sees is
A lonely ghost will be detained by the ghost officials in a few days without paying attention. However, Taoist priests often add fuel to the fire, describe ghosts as extremely powerful, and add a dispensable ritual, which will always lead to ignorance.
The people's belief.
Even though the Taoist priest is not good at studying, he has a thorough understanding of people's hearts. When the people ask him to practice, he knows exactly what effect they want.
However, this time the Taoist priest felt unsure.
The stench alone told him that he had met a formidable opponent.
The Chu family is the richest man in Jimo City, and they are not ordinary ordinary people. If the performance fails this time, then I will never be able to hang out in Jimo again.
Thinking of this, the Taoist priest beat his chest and regretted that he was drunk and didn't know the importance of taking on such a troublesome job.
He moved gently, walked to the bed, and looked at the woman lying on the bed.
This woman was only twelve or thirteen years old, but she looked extremely delicate. She was sweating constantly on her head and face, and it was this sweat that made the smell stink.
At this rate of sweating, it won't take long before she will be like Cui'er and Xiao Wu, soaked as if she was fished out of the lake. But if it really gets to that point, there will be no way to save her.
Got it!
The Taoist priest squinted his eyes, but he felt that this woman looked so familiar. He gently lifted her hair from her forehead, and when he saw the blood-red cinnabar between her eyebrows, he was suddenly shocked - this little girl turned out to be the one he brought out of the mountain village seven years ago.
That one!
