Chapter 190: The Monk Explains
In the hot pot restaurant.
Jiusu saw and heard all of this. She said, "I didn't expect General Bai to be so upright. I thought I had to break off completely with the Bai family."
Qiu Man stuffed a mouthful of pork slices and spoke incoherently.
"Hmm, it's plain."
Jiusu closed the window, walked over to her, put his elbows on the table, supported his chin, and asked with a smile: "Is it delicious? Do you want any more dishes?"
Qiu Man swallowed the meat nervously. She felt like a piece of meat being stared at fiercely by the young lady?
"No, no, I'm full." She waved her hand to refuse, and the chopsticks were shaking and leaving afterimages. "What do you want from me?"
After I finished eating, I remembered what my sister said.
A man who takes something from someone else is grateful for what he has received. A man who eats something from someone else is grateful for what he has received.
Jiusu nodded. "I've never been to Shengjing, but maybe I will go there in the future. Can you tell me about the people and things in Shengjing?"
Qiu Man breathed a sigh of relief. Just saying something could get her a big meal, which was totally worth it.
She hesitated and said, "Shengjing is too big, with too many people and too many things to do. Is there anything you want to hear?"
Jiusu gently guided him, "I've already met the important figures in Shengjing, including the Crown Prince, Marquis Qiu, General Bai, and others. Is there anything else I can do? Is there only one Marquis in Shengjing?"
Qiu Man shook her head. "There are two marquises in Shengjing. One is my father, and the other is Marquis Ju'an."
Jiusu picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
"The dean of Hua Ting Academy told me that Yi Hui, the only female tutor back then, was the Marquis's wife. Coincidentally, I was her tutor for a few days. How was she doing?"
Qiu Man looked at Jiusu, and the image of the Marquis's wife appeared in front of her eyes. She blinked and murmured, it seems that she is so similar in both temperament and appearance.
Well, maybe it's just a resemblance.
"I know very little about Madam Yi. She has been ill for many years and rarely goes out. I have interacted with her adopted daughter a few times, but I don't like her."
Jiusu asked: "Is she not good to Madam Yi?"
Qiu Man said quietly, "Of course he was nice to Madam Yi, but it was too fake. He was fake to everyone except the Minister of Justice."
I don’t know what happened.
When she mentioned this person, she seemed to droop and slumped over the table.
Jiusu smelled the scent of melon and asked, "What did the Minister of Justice do to you?"
"He he he he he..." Qiu Man's ears turned red as she stuttered, "One time I ran away from home and twisted my ankle late at night. I happened to run into the Shangshu who was investigating a case, and he hugged me."
"Oh~" Jiusu teased, "Is this love?"
Qiu Man admitted it, but she was not very happy. She lowered her head and said, "So what if he's in love? He only likes to solve cases. He and Li Yulan often meet and talk."
The chopsticks poked into the dipping sauce, venting the sourness in my heart.
It is too difficult to like someone, and she dare not express her true feelings to the Shangshu, so she can only escape and choose to eat more to numb her heart.
But when I’m hungry I’ll miss him.
I miss him more when I’m full.
Jiusu asked, "They must be old enough, right? Why haven't they gotten married yet? Is there something you don't know?"
"Even if there is, I don't dare to ask." Qiu Man said timidly, "I've been away from Shengjing for a month, maybe they have already started dating."
Jiusu tells Zitan to bring dessert.
She pushed him over and coaxed him, "When you're in a bad mood, eat a piece of cake. It will make you happy, but you have to eat in moderation. If you get fat, you'll be really unhappy."
Qiu Man's eyes lit up, and she sank her spoon into the cake, squeezing out the cream. Her mouth felt sweet, and her mood really improved. She asked, "If it were you, what would you do?"
Jiusu said without hesitation: "Next time we meet, just tell him you like him."
"What if he refuses?" Qiu Man thought of the bad consequences.
The adults are so aloof that they will definitely reject her coldly.
Jiusu said firmly, "Chase him! Chase him if you can't catch him! If you can't catch him, find another one! How do you know other men aren't attractive?"
Qiu Man nodded, not quite understanding.
After finishing the cake and burping, she raised her hand and said, "Chase! I will chase! I must chase Song Wang!"
Well.
After she finished speaking, she regretted it, scratched her head awkwardly, and smiled at Jiusu. Fortunately, it was in the box. If it was in the hall, everyone would know.
Good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news travels far and wide.
Jiusu smiled and sighed, "It's great to be young."
In the afternoon, she went to the market and bought a statue of the God of Wealth, which she placed outside her bedroom. She took a bath, changed her clothes, burned incense, and prayed to the God of Wealth, hoping that he would bless her to make a fortune.
While browsing the system warehouse, I saw some unblessed Buddhist beads.
She had a feeling that something would happen in the next few days, and she was always uneasy. Looking at the Buddhist beads in her hand, she murmured: "If you believe it, it will happen. If you don't believe it, it won't happen. Why not go find a real master to see it?"
Hua Yanyue Maomao came back very late.
She nervously held the brocade box and placed it on the table, unable to hide the smile on her face, "Miss, they are very satisfied with the makeup we put on. This is the money we earned today."
Jiusu gave the reward money and asked, "Has anyone signed up to learn makeup?"
"Yes!" Hua Yan nodded heavily, her face showing nervousness. She placed the list on the table. "I wrote down my age and free time as you instructed."
I flipped through it and found it very detailed.
She taught them the classification of classes, "But it's hard work for both of you. You have to put on makeup during the day and teach classes at night."
Yuemao's eyes showed longing, "The servants don't feel tired, but feel honored."
Jiusu's eyes showed heartache. She was always soft-hearted towards the women of this era. Too much empathy was a bad thing. She said, "It's hard to go back and forth. You can live in the shop from now on."
The two looked at each other, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed three times solemnly.
"Thank you, Miss, for saving our lives! Thank you, Miss, for allowing us to live with dignity!"
“…”
On the second day, the weather suddenly dropped in temperature. When I opened the door, the biting cold wind blew into my sleeves, making my skin turn red. It was only October, and it was already so cold?
Charcoal fire was extremely expensive in ancient times, and some people could not afford it at all.
Except for the people in the palace who could use excellent charcoal, everyone else used very inferior charcoal. If used improperly, they would cause poisoning and coma, leading to death.
The treasure detector detected something.
Jiang Jing went to do some business with the prince.
She had no choice but to go alone. After half an hour, she saw that she was very close, so she put away her loneliness and walked to the lake. Following the direction, she saw a monk meditating on the ground.
Oh no, a high monk.
Treasure hunting detectors must be high-quality.
She felt like she was being watched by the system.
The monk opened his eyes, his features filled with kindness. Jiusu felt he looked like an old grandfather. She clasped her hands together, bowed politely, and said, "Hello."
He was not surprised and took out a teapot and two teacups from the bamboo basket beside him.
"Donor, please take a seat."
Jiusu sat down.
The monk began to introduce himself: "I come from afar and am passing through here, waiting for a destined person. Do you have any questions you would like to ask?"
"Please take a look at this bracelet first." Jiusu presented it with both hands, feeling nervous but also excited.
This treasure detector didn't say it would detect living people.
