Tomorrow it is.
Shen Qingyu immediately began making arrangements.
You don't need to invite many people; just invite a few of the families you regularly visit.
Shen Qingyu thought for a moment and asked Qi Yunxiao, "Do you have any way to inform the Qian family in the prefectural city to come over for the apprenticeship banquet tomorrow?"
Qi Yunxiao hesitated for a moment, then Cheng Ping laughed and said, "I can."
Qi Yunxiao's face darkened: "Did I ask you?"
Then Qi Yunxiao quickly replied, "We can notify them."
After saying that, Qi Yunxiao glared at Cheng Ping.
It's like everyone has a carrier pigeon!
Then call Yuqiao over, and invite the village head's family, along with several other families who have recently cooperated in house repairs in the village...
That's about it.
It was getting dark, and there were no entertainment options at this time of year. If we went to inform them any later, everyone would be asleep.
Shen Qingyu hurriedly went out to find Uncle Village Head.
Seeing that it was getting late, Qi Yunxiao offered to go with her.
I'll go.
Qi Yunxiao carried a very rare revolving lantern and accompanied Shen Qingyu toward the village head's house.
The village head's family was indeed getting ready for bed when they were stunned to hear Qi Yunxiao and Shen Qingyu say that Erbao wanted to become an apprentice to learn fortune telling.
Shen Qingyu had no choice but to explain the mad Taoist's words again.
The village head and his family sighed repeatedly, expressing their sympathy and understanding.
Everything is for the good of the child.
Seeing that it was getting late, the village head suggested, "Don't bother notifying the remaining households one by one. I get up early, so I'll just stroll over and tell them tomorrow morning."
Shen Qingyu readily agreed and headed home without saying another word.
A gentle night breeze blew, bringing a light coolness to my face.
Shen Qingyu couldn't help but slow down.
Qi Yunxiao didn't urge her, but walked beside Shen Qingyu with the lantern, helping her light the way.
"Where did this revolving lantern come from?" Shen Qingyu asked curiously.
In this era, iron is not rare, but glass is.
Most of the glass was imported; a single revolving lantern required six small pieces of glass!
Qi Yunxiao said with a hint of pride, "I travel all over the country all year round, and these are imported goods from the West that I know from merchants."
"Good stuff," Shen Qingyu exclaimed.
"Then I'll give it to you?"
"OK."
With the revolving light, going to the toilet at night is much more convenient, and you don't have to worry about stepping on a snake.
The store has high-powered flashlights, but it's inconvenient to take them out and use them.
Thinking of the powerful flashlight, Shen Qingyu didn't show any particular surprise.
Qi Yunxiao saw that she looked indifferent and felt a little depressed: he had gone to great lengths to get the windproof revolving lantern, so why wasn't she happy?
It's so hard to please women...
After returning to her room and closing the doors and windows, Shen Qingyu slipped into her spatial dimension.
After washing her face and hair with the spiritual spring water, Shen Qingyu stepped onto the scale.
She's 1.68 meters tall and weighs only 118 pounds!
Her waist had become much slimmer, but her chest hadn't shrunk much, and her jet-black hair cascaded down to her calves...
Tsk tsk tsk!
Shen Qingyu herself was completely captivated.
After putting on her nightgown with a touch of vanity, Shen Qingyu decided to repair her pocket watch in her spatial dimension.
The mad Taoist is saying that the talisman can absorb spiritual energy?
Shen Qingyu thought for a moment, then placed the talisman on a chair near the spirit spring and began to carefully disassemble the pocket watch...
Shen Qingyu, focused on repairing the watch, didn't notice that shortly after the talisman was placed next to the spiritual spring, the spiritual energy from the spring began to flow towards it like wisps of mist...
Mechanical pocket watches are complex in construction, but Shen Qingyu had participated in the model club in college, so she had hands-on skills.
Moreover, Shen Qingyu, who was a military doctor, had very steady hands... After fumbling around and repairing it for a while, the pocket watch actually started ticking again!
Wow! I've unlocked my watch repair skill again!
Shen Qingyu was overjoyed and put the pocket watch back exactly as it was; there were no more or fewer parts, just the right amount.
Picking up the talisman from beside the spiritual spring, Shen Qingyu felt that there was a change in the talisman paper; the winding cinnabar runes were even brighter and more crimson!
It even possessed a touch of liveliness.
Shen Qingyu put the talisman back into the small mechanism of the pocket watch, placed the pocket watch on the chair next to the spiritual spring, and went to sleep contentedly.
The next morning, Shen Qingyu drove the carriage to town.
With many of the refugees returning home, Lai Fook Kee's dim sum shop recently reopened, and Yuk Kiu is enthusiastically selling dim sum there.
When Shen Qingyu arrived, she had just seen off a group of female customers with a smile. When she saw Shen Qingyu, she exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Boss! You haven't come to see me in so long! Aren't you worried that I'll run off with the money?"
Shen Qingyu laughed: "It's your own shop, what nonsense are you spouting?"
"Besides, you're so busy, why would I come to see you?"
"Let's go! Let's talk in the back."
Yu Qiao pulled Shen Qingyu to the backyard.
After the shop reopened, Yuqiao lived behind the pastry shop, making an excuse to watch the shop, but actually she didn't want to hang out with Granny Chen anymore.
After the investigation into the traitor within the Qian family was completed, Granny Chen was arrested, taken to the prefectural city, given dozens of lashes, and fined. To pay the fine, she sold the shop.
With the help of Yu Qiao's influence and the resulting public opinion, everyone in the town knew that Granny Chen was secretly in cahoots with the beggar, and they all looked down on her.
As a result, Granny Chen's matchmaking business also suffered, her income plummeted, and she was beaten up again. Now the whole family is having a very hard time.
When talking about these things, Yu Qiao had mixed feelings: "I wanted her to get her comeuppance, but I also felt that my adoptive father was actually quite innocent."
“When Granny Chen used to punish me by not letting me eat, she would secretly give me food…”
Granny Chen was fierce, and her husband was afraid of her. Over the years, he had worked like a slave for her, and Granny Chen had never given him a kind look.
Now that Granny Chen is in trouble, her husband is being pointed at and gossiped about because of her…
Shen Qingyu sighed, but did not offer any advice.
This is Yu Qiao's business; she has neither the right nor the standing to comment.
Fortunately, Yu Qiao was an outgoing person and soon asked Shen Qingyu why she had come to see her.
Yu Qiao was stunned when she heard that Er Bao actually wanted to recognize a Taoist priest as his master.
Helpless, Shen Qingyu explained everything the Taoist priest had said...
Yu Qiao blinked and asked, "What's the background of that Taoist priest?"
Shen Qingyu couldn't reveal Qi Yunxiao's background, so she could only say vaguely, "I heard from the manager of Guiyun Tower that this mad Taoist is a famous fortune teller in the capital..."
"If that's what the manager of Guiyunlou said, then it should be believable."
Yuqiao has been to the prefectural city twice, including to Guiyun Tower.
I heard that it has branches all over the entire Dayong, a top-notch place where money flows like water!
Then Yu Qiao's eyes lit up as if she had just thought of something: "Can that mad Taoist priest predict marriage?"
Shen Qingyu was shocked by her abrupt change of thought: "Why don't you go over and ask him later? I don't know if he can tell fortunes about marriage."
Yu Qiao happily agreed, left the shop to the shop assistant, and ran off with Shen Qingyu.
Shen Qingyu was both amused and exasperated. She led Yu Qiao to get into the car, but just as they stepped out the door, a young man suddenly rushed straight towards them from the side!
