Fenglelou, as the most famous restaurant in Beijing, has a huge flow of people.
There are always some small vendors who rack their brains to sell their goods.
What kind of recipe was passed down in a dream by an immortal?
The spiritual fruit was a gift from a white ape in the mountains.
The various titles they held sounded even better than the stories told in the academy.
The little girl looked unwell.
"But the Gu worms were real. The woman who sold them even had people test them on her in public."
The Love-Sickness Gu is actually a variant of the Hypnotic Gu.
Obedient to everything, doing exactly as instructed. Isn't that just hypnosis?
The dancer slowly wiped away the extra rouge she had applied to her face.
She gazed at her makeup in the bronze mirror.
"Don't panic. Here's what you do: have someone test her identity."
"Let's buy the Gu worms first and calm her down. We can deal with other things later."
The young girl agreed and hurriedly left.
…
Nine out of ten customers who bought Qi Su's "Love-Sickness Gu" felt they had been scammed.
The guests weren't fools either.
What kind of love potion is this? She's acting all sneaky, like a dog. Is money so easy to find these days?
They were still devoted and single-minded.
This thing can't be verified.
Who knows what that bug is, or whether it's even effective?
"Who says it can't be verified? It can be verified."
Qi Su grabbed the guest in front of her, who was covered in gold and jade and looked like a rich, foolish man.
"You don't have to buy it, but you can't humiliate my Gu worm."
Upon hearing this, the foolish big spender thought, "Fine, you dare to argue?"
Anyway, I came to Fenglelou to have fun, so what difference does having fun make?
He immediately made a bold statement.
"Isn't it a love potion? Isn't it supposed to be devoted to you and only love you? Now let that bug bite me. If I really fall in love with you, I'll give you my life, not just money."
Qi Su also rolled up her sleeves.
"You asked for this."
There are no fools who would buy Gu worms.
A large crowd gathered to watch the spectacle.
After all, this is much more entertaining than the acrobatic performances in the entertainment district.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the foolish big spender first signed the consent form for planting the Gu poison.
For the sake of fairness and impartiality.
Qi Su also signed a "Guarantee Letter for the Life Safety of the Gu Planter".
Then, the love-sickness poison bit the foolish rich man.
The foolish big shot looked disdainfully at the tiny bead of blood on the back of his hand, which looked like a needle prick.
"If I fall in love with you, I'll call you Dad!"
After he finished speaking, he fainted.
When he woke up again, a young woman was standing in front of him.
She seemed to be glowing.
Her voice was like heavenly music, impossible to ignore.
Young woman: "Call me father."
"--father."
"Learn to bark like a dog."
"—Woof woof woof woof."
Thanks to this kind-hearted man, who used his dignity and integrity to fulfill Qi Su's wish for love.
.
On the second floor tea table not far away.
The young master, who had witnessed the entire farce from beginning to end, laughed silently.
He narrowed his fox-like eyes and licked the sweet yogurt in his cup.
“That’s interesting. Go and find the guy who sells the bugs.”
They were sitting here to watch the excitement.
Let's see just how magical that Love-Sickness Gu really is.
Or, just how magical is the tongue of that insect seller?
I was just trying to amuse you, but I never expected you to take it so seriously and actually want to buy it.
The servant, with a pained expression, hurried off to find the man who sold the insects.
With so many people gathered around, what if they sell out?
He's overthinking it.
There were many onlookers, but not a single buyer.
Those with reservations dare not buy.
What if these two are shills?
Those who are somewhat interested can't afford it.
Damn, it's so expensive! This must be a new scam by the two.
Finally, someone who knew its value wanted to buy it, and Qi Su excitedly followed the servant over.
As we walked, the servants demurely introduced their young master.
He's quite remarkable; handsome but with an eccentric temper, and he has an extremely close relationship with the Vice Minister of War.
Not a local, from Jincheng.
This... sounds so familiar.
After taking a glimpse of that young master from afar—pah, what a loser, this deal is off.
Wherever there's fun, that lunatic has to join in.
Qi Su grabbed the servant, her face full of sincerity.
"To be honest, this thing is just a silkworm, it's a lie. Your young master is from my hometown, I can't lie to him. Goodbye!"
She took off running.
Thankfully, my makeup and styling were done well today.
Otherwise, that vicious dog Shen Qingyu would have seen through it at a glance.
Shen Qingyu couldn't be sure if she didn't run away.
As soon as she ran, hey, that silhouette was her!
"Go and catch her right now!"
.
Young Master Shen failed to acquire the Love-Sickness Gu.
But someone else bought it.
Inside the small red building, a young maidservant carrying a brocade box returned after leaving.
"This is the Love-Sickness Gu. It's not cheap to buy."
The dancer opened it to take a look.
The slender Gu worm emitted a faint green glow, which did indeed seem familiar.
Where is the person who sold the poison?
She touched the little bugs in the box with her finger as she asked.
The young girl said, "We've had someone keep an eye on her. Once she leaves, our people will follow her and investigate."
The dancer nodded.
Selling Gu worms in public at Fengle Tower suggests they've sensed the presence of people from Southern Chu within the building.
But it's not worth taking too seriously.
Isn't it normal for people from Southern Chu to be in Fengle Tower? Not only Southern Chu people, but also people from Northern Ting and Western Rong.
…
Qi Su's love potion was bought by an old woman.
They said they'd try it out first, and if it worked well, they'd come back to her next time.
Wow, this is a big customer.
"Don't worry, one Gu can control one man. Just follow the Gu-raising guide I gave you, and it will be fine."
I watched the old woman leave with the box in her arms.
Qi Su reached into her pocket and pulled out another box.
Hey, you didn't expect that, did you?
Sister, I still have some stock here.
.
Not long after.
The little girl came in again, furious.
The dancer frowned.
"I have guests later."
The little girl said, "Sister, that woman who sells Gu poison is here again!"
This time, we're selling the Sleeping Gu.
The price is twice that of the Love Potion.
They even said it was an essential prop for faking death in domestic power struggles, palace intrigues, and workplace conflicts.
They've gathered a group of people and are about to put on a live performance.
People from the academy stopped listening to the plays and all went to watch the spectacle.
The dancer threw the white jade flower ornament back into the jewelry box.
"Go tell the guests that I'm not feeling well and can't dance today. Bring that witch doctor over here."
…
Before long, Qi Su was politely invited to a private room in Fenglelou.
She was dressed in ordinary plain clothes, like a village woman.
She carried the scent of herbs, and as she walked, one couldn't tell she had any martial arts background.
The red-clad dancer sitting at the head of the table propped her chin up and sized her up.
A section of her fair, lotus-root-like arm was revealed from the sheer, gossamer sleeves.
"Take your things out and let me see," she said to Qi Su indifferently.
The Sleeping Gu was presented to the dancer.
This is a round, tiny black worm, smaller than a sesame seed.
"Did you make this?"
The dancer, her fingers adorned with cinnamon, picked up a small insect and held it up to examine it closely.
They were completely unconcerned about the power of the insect poison.
Qi Su held up Zhang Xiaoniangzi's clean and well-behaved face.
"This was made by my master."
