Chapter 50 50. Master Bai Luosang
After a while, Su Sanlan came back with a grim expression on her face: "Shi Liu, you've been resting at home for two days. Go to school today while it's still early. Old family, hurry up and pack Shi Liu's things."
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" She had just agreed to let Su Sanlan stay at home for another day yesterday, so why did her mother suddenly change her mind?
Thinking of the news she had just heard, Su Sanlan's eyes were about to burst into flames. Suppressing her anger, she said, "Shi Liu, be good and listen to your mother. Go back to school quickly."
Shi Liu's brows knitted together. Something must have happened to her mother, and it must be related to her. "Mom, I'm not a child anymore. Is there something bad happening that has something to do with me?"
Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, Su Sanlan angrily said, "Who else could it be but our Party Secretary Bai? He's just a toad dreaming of swan flesh, but he can't stop wanting Shi Liu to marry his nephew. He's looking at everyone who doesn't know that rotten nephew. To put it bluntly, Bai Yingtai is an expert in all kinds of eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Who among the families who truly love their daughters would be willing to marry her to him?"
Fourth Brother Shi flew into a rage: "You bastard! I'm going to kill him!"
The eldest and second brothers Shi were so frightened that they quickly stepped forward to hold the man back. Su Sanlan slapped them and said, "Why are you going away? Be careful that they will come to rely on us. Then your eldest sister will have to marry him even if she doesn't want to."
Third Brother Shi asked in surprise, "Mom, if he's attracted to my beauty, he shouldn't have waited until now to propose marriage. I have a feeling there's something fishy going on here. Could it be related to that kind of thing?"
Mrs. Shi San thought of the red-robed ghost she had just mentioned, and her heart suddenly trembled. "Mother, you didn't give my eldest sister's birth date and time to anyone else, did you? I remember that a curse required a birth date and time, hair, and blood."
"Don't worry. Your grandma told me not to tell anyone about your birth dates. Outsiders only know your birthdays but not the exact time. Even the midwife, Mrs. Yang, probably can't remember it, after all, she has delivered so many babies." Su Sanlan was now sincerely glad that she had listened to her mother.
Shi Liu also felt that the Bai family's sudden proposal was too sudden. Something must be fishy going on. "Mom, I'd better go back to school and hide for a while. You guys should ask around at home. No matter what their purpose is, we won't accept it. Big brother, you guys should be careful. I'm worried that they might try something covert instead of overt. If we fall into their trap, it will be troublesome."
"Don't worry, my daughter. I'll take good care of you. If Bai wants to do something sneaky, he'll have to see if I'm happy with it."
Shi Liu left home with full of worries. When she arrived in the county to say goodbye to her elder brother, Shi Liu did not go directly to take a bus. Instead, she came to the Bai family's funeral shop which had already closed.
[I found a golden sign-in location at the funeral shop. Do you want to sign in using 5 points?]
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and obtaining the paper-making skill]

[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and obtaining the incense making skill]
After successfully signing in at the two places he had been longing for, Shi Liu smiled. He was about to turn around and go to the city, but then he thought that he hadn't been to the county scrap collection station for a long time, so he decided to go to the collection station instead.
[Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully and receiving a set of rosewood furniture]
After feeling satisfied, Shi Liu got on the bus to Lin City, then closed his eyes and began to check the two new skills he had signed in today.
【Paper-making Skills Teaching Course】
[Bai Luosang: Level 5 99%]
【Incense Making Skills Teaching Course】
[Bai Luohuai: Level 5 99%]
The masters of these two skill teaching courses are probably sisters, as their names are very similar. Shi Liu chose to enter the paper-making skill teaching course first.
The teaching space was actually the courtyard of a funeral parlor. Judging by the blue bricks, it looked at least two hundred years old. A mulberry tree and a locust tree flanked the courtyard. Master Bai Luosang sat beneath the mulberry trees, dressed in a white, ink-wash cheongsam, like a scroll slowly unfolding. Of course, that meant ignoring the coffins, paper figurines, and gold ingots stacked in the corridor.
"However, it seems that you still have some basic skills. Try to fold a gold ingot for me first." Bai Luosang's eyes were full of gentleness.
"Yes." Shi Liu's face turned red. She was actually stunned just now.
Master Bai Luosang may not be the most beautiful, but her temperament is really charming, which reminds her of the modern stunning actress who won three Golden Horse Awards. She is obviously an average beauty, but her glance and smile are full of fatal temptation. Beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin, and this is what they are like.
Many people say she is a stunning beauty, but Shi Liu herself doesn't think so. She only thinks she can truly be considered a beauty of national beauty once she develops such a refined temperament.
Shi Liu's slender fingers flew, and a small gold ingot soon appeared in her palm.
Bai Luosang waved her hand, and the gold ingots landed in her hand. "You are indeed talented. It seems your former master was very attentive in your teachings. You haven't made any mistakes that many paper-making masters would make, and it seems you learned from the Bai family."
Shi Liu nodded: "My adoptive father in my previous life was a member of the Bai family, and I learned the paper-making skills from him." But she didn't expect that the Bai family in the two worlds were actually connected. It seems that the old man still has a lot of secrets.
"The Bai family is revered as a family of metaphysics, and each branch has its own unique skills. Ours are most skilled in paper-binding and incense-making. My sister Bai Luohuai is a master of incense-making in our generation." Bai Luosang spoke of her lineage with pride. "You can learn both paper-binding and incense-making, so that we sisters can teach you together."
Shi Liu asked curiously, "My adoptive father is proficient in fortune-telling and paper-making. Is he from the same family as you?"
"Actually, originally our lineage was only proficient in paper-making, but later on, only my grandmother remained in the incense-making lineage, and then the two lineages merged through marriage. Your father's situation is likely the result of a marriage between the two lineages, but our ancestors had a falling out with the fortune-tellers, so intermarriage with them is rare."
Hearing this, Shi Liu's heart moved: "Could it be related to the lineage of the deposed crown prince of the Tianfeng Dynasty?"
"That's right. I didn't expect a little kid like you to know this secret history." Bai Luosang mentioned this matter with disdain in his heart: "It's a pity for Crown Prince Fengming. That master was a well-deserved perfect crown prince. It was precisely because he was too perfect that he was intolerable to his father and brothers, and finally ended up in a miserable end."
Shi Liu didn't expect to hear Master Bai Luosang speak so highly of the deposed prince. The historical records about this deposed prince were not very good, but it made Master Bai feel sorry for him. I'm afraid that the deposed prince was really outstanding. Thinking of this, Shi Liu couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
"What I despise most is that the new emperor clearly succeeded, yet he still refused to let go of the deposed crown prince's lineage. In the end, the deposed crown prince only had one legitimate son left, but unfortunately, that son had no offspring and died young." Bai Luosang thought of the scum in the family, his eyes sharpening. "Among them is the work of Bai Luopo's lineage. They are capable of such a cruel and insane thing."
