Chapter 52 The Yorozuya House is Full

Wen Ling was curious about what was going on. As soon as she got off the carriage, she was surrounded.

"Princess Chen, we are the stewards of the Zhennan Marquis's Mansion. Our little prince cries every night. Can we ask you for a magic talisman?"

"Let me, let me, let me, my business is more urgent. Princess, our Minister of Justice's wife has been suffering from insomnia for ten days for no apparent reason. No medicine works. Can I ask you for a tranquilizing talisman?"

"I'll go first, I'm the maid of the Imperial Academy's chief priest. Our young master always has a headache because he reads too much. The Spring Examination is coming soon. Can I buy some refreshing flower tea from the princess?"

"Princess Chen, our backyard seems to be dirty. There is always a crying child coming from the dry well. Can you please go and take a look?"

“…”

A group of housekeepers and nannies from various mansions surrounded Wen Ling, vying to express their demands.

Wen Ling was unable to react for a moment.

Didn’t this group of people from the “high circle” laugh at her before, for being a princess and running such a metaphysical shop?

Why are they suddenly rushing to her to buy talismans and refreshing flower tea, and also inviting her to their homes to check things out?

Before she knew it, she was surrounded.

Tingyin stood in front of Wen Ling and shouted, "Don't push, don't push, you're squeezing my wife!!"

The manager and his clerk in the Wanshiwu heard the noise and hurried out.

The store manager's surname was Liang. He was originally the manager of an inn under the Prince Chen's Mansion. However, that inn, which had been doing good business, was suddenly burned down by a fire.

While trying to evacuate the guests stranded in the inn, Manager Liang was scratched on the face by wood that fell from the fire.

Later, because Gu Chenran's condition was not good and he had no intention of taking care of the business, Manager Liang became unemployed and lived out his retirement in the palace.

Until Wen Ling met him by chance and found out that he not only had a very strong destiny, but also was full of righteousness, with a golden light protecting his body that could save people. He was particularly suitable to work in the Wanshiwu where she dealt a lot with ghosts and feng shui.

So he became the current store manager Liang.

Manager Liang had a scar that went through half of his face. He was usually smiling and looking nice, but when he saw Wen Ling being squeezed by the crowd, he became anxious and his tense face looked particularly fierce.

He squeezed in by shouting, "Make way, don't squeeze our princess!!"

His shout looked so ferocious that the maids in charge were so scared that they quickly dispersed.

Wen Lingcai arrived at the store safely under the escort of Manager Liang and Tingyin.

Wen Ling was naturally skilled enough not to be squeezed, but it was easy for her to hurt people if she attacked, so she didn't attack since there were so many people around.

After finally arriving at the store, Wen Ling wiped the sweat off his face and asked curiously, "No, what happened? Why are there so many people here all of a sudden?"

Manager Liang reported respectfully: "Madam, you may not know yet, but the princess's husband was sentenced by the Dali Temple this morning for transferring the imperial gifts and poisoning the princess. He will be executed in the autumn.

Not only that, a mother and son were stabbed to death in the middle of the night in the slums in the west of the city. It was said that this prince consort was responsible, and no one knew how he escaped from prison before. ”

"The mother and son who were hacked to death in the slums, is the woman called Lanxiang?" Wen Ling asked with a raised eyebrow.

Manager Liang replied, "Yes, Madam, you also know about this. This just happened last night."

Wen Ling only found out now, but she had guessed it.

I didn't expect to hear the follow-up to this matter.

It seems that what Gu Chenran said last night was not entirely correct. Lanxiang was extremely bad, and in the end she couldn't escape and got her retribution.

Wen Ling asked again: "What does this have to do with so many people queuing here?"

Manager Liang smiled and said, "What I just said was the cause. The follow-up was that the emperor asked the princess how she discovered the true identity of the prince consort.

The princess told the emperor that it was all thanks to you for your righteous words of advice at the coming-of-age ceremony, saying that you had great magical powers and could tell fortunes, and that you had predicted everything.

Pingyang Hou was there at the right time, and he praised the calming talisman and refreshing scented tea you gave him in front of the emperor. He said that he and his wife had never had nightmares since they used the calming talisman you drew, and the whole family felt better after drinking the scented tea you sent.

I don't know how this news got out, but people started lining up one after another this morning, and by the time you arrived there were already so many people. ”

Wen Ling suddenly realized: "So that's it."

Many ladies and young ladies heard what she said at her coming-of-age ceremony that day.

Part of it was verified on the spot, but at that time everyone's attention was on eating melons, and rarely on her.

Now that the eldest princess thanked her in front of the emperor, everyone noticed her.

Many people who didn't believe before now believe.

With a capital city this big and a large circle of nobility, it is inevitable that these nobles will suffer from headaches and encounter strange things.

So there are so many people in the Yorozuya.

When Manager Liang saw that Wen Ling didn't have any other reaction, he thought she was just annoyed by the crowds.

He asked tentatively: "I have told the maids in charge that we only deal with ghosts and feng shui, so please don't bother our princess with these trivial matters.

But they all offer huge sums of money to buy it, such as one hundred taels for a calming talisman or something like that. Isn't this just insulting our lady with money?

Is our lady the kind of person who would do something against her will for money?

I will..."

"Wait." Wen Ling stretched out her hand and firmly stopped Manager Liang.

She coughed and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. The main thing is that I am a person who likes to help others. Seeing so many people in trouble, I really can't turn a blind eye.

So, I sat down inside, and they prepared the talisman paper for me, and then prepared the ingredients for the scented tea.

Let the people outside line up, don't make any noise, come in one by one, don't make any noise and disturb others,

Oh, by the way, remember to collect the money. ”

After Wen Ling quickly gave the instructions, he turned around and went to the room inside to wait.

Manager Liang didn't have time to react. He scratched his head and said, "Ah?"

Tingyin has been with Wen Ling for a longer time and understands her better.

Listening to the translation: "Madam means that she wants to make money and ask the people outside to prepare money to buy things."

"Oh oh oh, okay, okay, okay." Shopkeeper Liang slapped his head and nodded repeatedly.

Shopkeeper Liang thought about it carefully and realized that the palace did not have many properties in the capital.

As the mistress of the palace, it is normal for Princess Chen to want to make more money to enrich the palace.

Shopkeeper Liang hurriedly made arrangements, but when it came to how much silver to charge for a calming talisman, he became troubled and went in to ask Wen Ling for instructions.

Wen Ling thought for a moment and said, "Well, they can give as much as they think is worth it.

The ingredients for the invigorating scented tea are not cheap. One tael of scented tea costs at least fifty taels of silver, and the sale of scented tea is limited to fifty kilograms per day. ”

The main thing was that she had to mix the refreshing flower tea herself and inject spiritual energy into it, and she really couldn't make much.

Otherwise, if she just provides the ingredients, can't she start mass production and make a lot of money?
