Chapter 27: Why is the ancestor here again? !
"Mother Cen, if you don't want to rest in the bottle, just play in the yard and don't show yourself in front of outsiders."
Qin Yinyao was like a parent about to go out: "And Dongning, just talk, don't get too close."
After giving the instructions, his gaze fell on Nanny Xia.
Before she could speak, Nanny Xia took the initiative to say, "Young lady, when you go out, you must have someone to serve you. I will accompany you."
Qin Yinyao raised her eyebrows and said nothing, which was considered as her tacit agreement.
The secret guards acted quickly.
When Nanny Xia accompanied Qin Yinyao to the second gate, the carriage was already waiting.
There were also ice cubes on the small table in the carriage to cool down.
"You are quite careful." Qin Yinyao praised.
All the way here, I still regret whether it was a mistake to let Hua Niang stay.
It's almost noon and the carriage must be so stuffy. How can she survive without Hua Niang to provide some cool air?
"His Highness told us when we came here that the master is delicate and needs us to serve her carefully." Ying Yi said in a deep voice.
Qin Yinyao nodded thoughtfully.
It’s only been half a day since I last saw the young Prince Dragon, but it feels like I haven’t seen him for years. I really miss him.
But the important thing now is not to meet Prince Long, but to meet those bastards in the City God Temple!
He got on the carriage and headed out of the mansion towards the City God Temple.
As they passed by the alleys filled with hawkers, Nanny Xia reminded them, "Miss, would you like to eat something first?"
"It's still some time before we get to the City God Temple, and the place is quite remote. I barely ate two bites of the dim sum we had just now. If I don't eat now, I'll have to wait hungry until I get home."
Qin Yinyao was resting with her eyes closed. After hearing this, she thought for a moment and said, "Walk slowly. There will be snacks soon."
I definitely can’t eat the staple food anymore, I’m so angry that I’m full.
After the carriage traveled a little further, Nanny Xia got off the carriage and bought some snacks such as candied fruits and candied fruits.
I also bought a few strings of candied haws.
There are two servings of each.
"Why two copies?" Qin Yinyao asked curiously as she took the things in through the car window.
Nanny Xia smiled and said, "I feel sorry for that girl. She died in such a way that I guess she never had any snacks. I'll buy some back and give her something sweet to eat."
"It's not worth a few copper coins anyway."
"Yes." Qin Yinyao nodded. "Is there anyone selling lanterns on the street? Pick out an exquisite one and take it back home. Also buy a few other little things that women like."
She has the memories of her original self, and what her original self wanted most in her heart was to spend the Lantern Festival with her parents.
But she was still young when Mrs. Cen died, and her wish gradually changed to owning a beautiful lantern of her own.
"There's an old shop just ahead. If you add some money, you can even order something custom-made." Nanny Xia pointed to a shop with an old sign not far ahead.
"Then we'll order one with koi fish, one with flying birds, and a six-sided lamp for ladies." Qin Yinyao said as she pushed open the carriage door and prepared to go down.
As soon as I took a step forward, I heard a familiar voice... fortune-telling and selling talismans?
She looked around and saw Li Ming squatting on the ground after changing into coarse clothes. On a piece of rag in front of him were many talismans arranged in different categories.
Li Ming casually said to the middle-aged man in front of him, "You sacrificed your offspring for your family business. Now that you've achieved success in your career, you want offspring again? Is there such a good thing in the world? If you don't resolve the hatred, let alone offspring, it's uncertain whether your family will even survive."
The middle-aged man, who had been so arrogant just now, suddenly changed his expression. He squatted in front of Li Ming and pleaded in a low voice: "Master! Master, save me!"
"I know that the master is a sorcerer of Si Tian Jian. He came out to sell talisman paper. I guess he is short of money."
"I have it! I'll give you whatever amount you want!"
Li Ming was unmoved. The man gritted his teeth and knelt down: "Master! Please save me! I will not hesitate to lose everything if you open a business for me."
Li Ming snorted sarcastically, "Okay, then you can give away all your wealth. Not a single brick or tile of the wealth gained from that child can be kept."
"In this case, I will help you convert the vengeful spirit for free."
The man fell silent.
Li Ming couldn't read people's minds, but he could clearly see the man's superficial reluctance.
Waving his hands impatiently, "If you don't want to, just leave quickly and don't delay my business."
After absorbing so many medicinal herbs, Qin Yinyao's ears and eyesight became sharper.
I didn't hear it clearly, but I got the general idea.
He tilted his head to look at Ying Yi, who was standing by the carriage. "Is the salary of Si Tianjian very low? Has it forced sorcerers to sell talismans?"
"The salary of Si Tianjian is comparable to that of a third-rank official. Moreover, he also receives a monthly quota of magical instruments needed for the sorcerers' daily practice or missions." Ying Yi said truthfully.
Shadow Three: "Look at those talismans on the stall. We can't afford the missing silver."
A very weird possibility flashed through Qin Yinyao's mind.
"You say... is there a possibility that they are making up for the silver I withheld from the soul-nourishing bottle?" He said it with some guilt.
The more confident you were when you confiscated the things, the more embarrassed you feel now.
"Do you still need amulets? It's a good time to buy some." Qin Yinyao sat back in the carriage, opened the curtain a little and asked.
Ying Yi: “…”
Shadow Three: "You know all this?"
"I can feel the aura of the talisman." Qin Yinyao pointed at his chest.
Li Ming was selling things, and he was selling them because he was covering for her.
It was not convenient for Qin Yinyao to show up, and it was too hard for Nanny Xia to do it alone, so she asked Ying San to go shopping.
Half an hour later, the carriage set off again.
We gradually moved away from human habitation, with only the chirping of insects and birdsong remaining. I didn't know how long it had been before we finally arrived in front of the City God Temple.
"Master, we're here." Yingyi put down the stool and knocked on the carriage door.
Nanny Xia came out first, turned around and helped Qin Yinyao get out of the car.
The group was not in a hurry to go in. Qin Yinyao took down all the willow branches picked on the road.
He picked one and held it in his hand, and stuffed the rest into the arms of Ying Yi and Ying San: "Take them. I won't give them to anyone who wants them."
Shadow One and Shadow Three: “???”
In this remote place, who would ask them for things?
Do you want willow branches?
But as a secret guard, he knows best not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask.
Qin Yinyao strode into the City God Temple and headed straight for the clay statue of the City God: "Lao Deng, come out, or I will die in front of you."
Shadow One, Shadow Three, and Aunt Xia: “???”
The City God in the main hall of the City God Temple in the underworld: "!!!"
"Why is this ancestor here again?!" He looked at the Yin officials below: "Which of you offended her?"
The ghost officials looked at each other in bewilderment. After what happened last time, who would dare to mess with this ancestor?
"I'll count to three." Qin Yinyao picked up Ying San's sword, half-unsheathed it, and placed it across her neck: "Three..."
Shadow Three: “???”
Shadow Three: “!!!”
Ying San had been a secret guard for so many years, and for the first time, his voice trembled: "Master! Let's talk nicely! Your body must not be hurt!"
Qin Yinyao ignored him: "One!"
The moment she finished speaking, she closed her eyes and exerted slight force with her hands.
"No, no, no!" A force controlled the sharp blade, and the City God appeared in front of everyone.
His face was ashen, as if he had been dead for three days and still unburied. "Your Highness! Ancestor! Living ancestor! What's going on?"
