Chapter 218: Invite the Taoist Priest, is Jiusu a demon?
All the money was used to buy food for the winter. Jiusu knew this and said, "Grandpa Rong, here are fifty taels of silver. Hire some more people."
Immediately afterwards, Chen Rongsheng went to the town to find a hundred workers and went to Suming County in a mighty group.
The workers were surprised and said, "What is this? The house it built is so strong!"
Chen Rongsheng said, "This is called bricks and cement."
The news of its warmth and durability spread throughout the county in an instant.
Many people came to watch, most of them were businessmen.
There are still seven days left before the Chamber of Commerce meeting. When he thought of Jiusu's magical powers, he was itching to come here, traveling through mountains and rivers, but he had not yet listened carefully to Jiusu's miracles.
I saw these buildings with my own eyes.
He asked nervously, "Excuse me, where is Miss Jiu? I'm Huang Fangtian, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and I'd like to meet her."
Chen Shengrong turned around and looked at the man who claimed to be the president. He washed his hands and said, "Please follow me. However, I don't know if she is still here."
Huang Fangtian said politely, "Thank you for your help."
In the factory office, Jiusu was designing a furnace. This was a simple thing, and neighbors could help each other to make it. It just needed a furnace tube.
The God of Wealth gave it to me.
Gave a lot back.
Chen Shengrong explained the reason.
Jiusu said: "Let him in."
Huang Fangtian walked into the room and greeted her warmly with a smile on his face: "Oh, Miss Jiu, it's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect you to be so talented and beautiful."
As for why he called her Miss Jiu instead of Lord Jiu.
According to unreliable information, she doesn't like being called Master Jiu. What a strange girl.
Jiusu humbly extended his hand and said, "Boss Huang, thank you for your compliment. Please take a seat."
Huang Fangtian said straight to the point: "Miss Jiu, you have such good building materials. Have you ever thought about selling them to others? You can make a lot of money with materials like these."
She is an official and a businesswoman.
He started his business by collaborating with Boss Fang on dishes, got investment from the Qian family, cooperated with the Du family, attracted the appreciation of Lord Qiu, and formed a relationship with the Jiang family. All of these are very shocking to talk about.
Jiusu had a very good impression of this boss.
Be honest and don't ask too many questions.
If he asked her where the bricks and cement came from, she really couldn't tell him. It also gave her a warning that there were many things that didn't exist in ancient times. If she took them out, she would definitely arouse suspicion.
She had to think of a way.
"The raw materials are scarce, just enough to keep the people warm."
Huang Fangtian argued, "I can pay double what the people of Chenjia Village give you."
Jiusu said truthfully, "They don't need to pay. I paid for it myself. Mr. Huang is from out of town and probably doesn't know how harsh the environment is in Suming County. Many people died last winter, so I wanted to build them warm houses. I never thought about profit. After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. Money is priceless."
So that's how it is. Huang Fangtian marveled in his heart.
He said, "Miss Jiu is truly kind and righteous. I am sorry for being so presumptuous. In a few days, a business exchange meeting will be held in Lingcheng. Merchants from all over the country will come here. I would like to invite you to attend."
Jiusu said: "I will go, but I have a question."
Huang Fangtian perked up. He straightened up and said, "Miss Jiu, please speak."
"Lingcheng is located in a remote area. Why is the Chamber of Commerce held here?"
Huang Fangtian explained, "Actually, the Chamber of Commerce draws lots every year, but this time we chose Lingcheng. The terrain is indeed complex, so there shouldn't be many merchants coming."
At the very least, those who are in poor health will not come, and those who are arrogant will not come. They look down on Lingcheng, a poor place.
But then again, the emergence of Jiusu in Lingcheng may attract many businessmen.
The soup is so good, everyone wants to have a share.
Jiusu nodded suddenly, and she said, "Is that so? Thank you, Boss Huang, for clearing up my confusion. I'm done with my work now. Do you want to go back to town with me?"
Huang Fangtian stood up and expressed his willingness.
Jiusu handed the drawings to Qian Junjie and returned to town.
After sending Mr. Huang back to the inn, she saw Zitan and Kou Shao looking for him on the street. She asked, "What happened?"
Zi Tan whispered in her ear, "Something happened in the mansion. Miss Li has a high fever that won't go away. The doctor said there's no cure and that she's been possessed by a ghost, so they called in a Taoist priest."
Jiusu's eyes darkened slightly as he asked, "What did the Taoist figure out?"
Zitan shook his head, "No. Madam Jiang blocked him outside, saying that this is the Jiu Mansion and it is not the turn of others to say anything. Please invite the Taoist priest."
Jiusu was afraid that his aunt would be angry, so he quickened his pace and returned home.
Sure enough, the Taoist priest held up his sword and kept saying something that was incomprehensible.
"This mansion is in a very serious bloody disaster. If you don't let me in, everyone in the mansion will die within a few days. Miss Li is an example."
Jiang's mother said coldly, "Where did you come from, you charlatan? Get out of here now, or I'll arrest you!"
Suddenly, Shuiling ran out, grabbed the lady's hand, and tremblingly handed her a handkerchief.
"Madam, the young lady is vomiting blood."
"If you don't get out of the way, it will be too late!" The Taoist priest's face flushed red and he stamped his feet anxiously. He rushed in with his sword raised, but everyone tried to stop him and blocked the door to prevent him from entering.
Shui Ling shouted, "Mrs. Jiang, my young lady is in trouble, and Miss Jiu will also be responsible!"
When it came to Susu, Jiang's mother hesitated.
Jiusu strode over and said, "Auntie, let him in. Don't blame me if something goes wrong."
The Taoist turned around, his face filled with shock. He took a few steps back in fear, the sword in his hand trembling. He said in horror: "You, you, you, are you a human or a demon?"
Jiusu smiled and said, "What do you think, Taoist priest? Is it a human or a demon? It can't be a demon, right?"
As she approached, the Taoist retreated.
She is the chosen girl who traveled through time and space, and the owner of the God of Wealth system. If this Taoist priest is really capable, he would not have such an expression. Li Yulan is not jumping into the water, but jumping into the ghost world instead?
But they are all slander methods, exactly the same as before.
Mother Jiang was both angry and amused. She said, "Don't talk nonsense, you charlatan! If Susu were a demon, you would be nothing but a corpse now."
The Taoist retorted, "You have been deceived by the demon! Once I start my ritual, you will see the demon's true form!"
Yi Hui frowned and defended.
"Where did this Taoist priest come from? Get him out!"
"Madam, you can't ignore the young lady's safety." Shui Ling held up the blood on the handkerchief. She cried and her head bleed. "When I came out, the young lady was unconscious!"
The doctor came running out and said anxiously, "Miss Li, Miss Li is in trouble. Her forehead is black. I'm afraid she's going to have a disaster!"
Yi Hui was extremely anxious. Her adopted daughter had bad intentions, but she was still very kind to her. She angrily said, "Are you a medical student or a Taoist? You can even tell that my forehead is black? You are a complete quack!"
She was so angry that her scalp felt dizzy, and she thought of Nuanmei to support her.
Jiusu said, "This Taoist priest with great magical powers, would you please start a ritual?"
In Qingyouyuan, the long table was already set with everything needed for the opening ceremony.
Seeing the busy girl in front of him cooperating very well, the Taoist priest felt a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly, lit the incense burner, and green smoke came out, connecting with the gods.
He chanted the exorcist spell: "...I obey the order of the founder of Maoshan Mountain to eliminate all evil spirits and demons; I obey the order of the Supreme Lord Laojun to exorcise demons and slay monsters without mercy; I obey the order of the Three Maoshan ancestor, and I obey the command of the law!"
