Chapter 15: Wives and Concubines
"In the official's house?"
"Yes. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Chen Zhongsheng, the chief clerk under the River Industry Division, and a monster appeared in his house. β
"What the hell is going on?"
"This Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-six years old, his wife has never given birth, and later married two concubines and still has no room. Recently, his outer chamber Yan Niang became pregnant, so she brought it home, and not long after, the eldest lady and the two concubines were sick. After many doctors were cured, they were not cured, and then a wandering wizard said that there was a monster in their house. Mr. Chen asked his boss to come to me. β
No matter how Feng Shanyue listened, it felt like a house fight, "Yi Dayin, are the eldest lady and the two concubines really sick?"
Yi Dayin nodded, "I asked Master Lin to go and see it, and he was indeed sick." Their symptoms are similar to those of the young master of the Qin family, they have no energy during the day, and they are suspicious at night and can't sleep. β
"It can't be that the eldest lady and the two concubines join forces to squeeze out the new concubine, right?"
"This ...... Probably not. Yi Dayin shook his head, "As far as I know, Siguan Chen and his wife have grown up together since childhood, and their relationship is very good. Later, she took the initiative to help Judge Chen marry back. This Yanniang was originally a fireworks girl, and after Chief Chen took a fancy to her, he raised her outside, and later the eldest lady found out, so she took the initiative to arrange for someone to take Yanniang back. Director Chen didn't know at first, but when he went home, he was startled and felt very sorry for the eldest lady. The eldest lady came over to comfort her, and when she saw that Yanniang was pregnant, she arranged for someone to serve her well!"
"This big lady...... It's too virtuous, isn't it?" Feng Shanyue looked incredulous.
Yi Dayin said with a smile, "No, our familiar colleagues talk in private, and they are very envious of Chief Chen for having such a magnanimous lady!"
Feng Shanyue pursed her lips, women are generous in this kind of thing, there are only two possibilities, the first is that she doesn't care about this man, and the second is that she has already disposed of these women who came to rob her of men in private. Men are just too naΓ―ve, they always think that they can handle all women, but they don't know that there is already gunsmoke between women.
"What do you think?" Yi Dayin saw that she didn't speak, so he asked her what she thought.
"Now is everyone pointing the finger at Yan Niang, thinking that she used monsters to harm the eldest lady and the two concubines?"
"But no, although she has been complaining herself, and Chief Chen has also spoken for her, but the eldest lady's maiden family sits in Chen's house every day, pointing at her nose and scolding!"
"To understand this, you have to go to Siguan Chen's house. However, with my current status, it seems inconvenient to go. β
"It's okay, I'll ask Master Yu to collect the demon and let her take you there. β
Feng Shanyue nodded and said goodbye and returned to Kun Garden.
Two days later, Master Yu announced in the class that he would take Yu Zijiang and Fengshan Yuerise to remove the demon. Except for Feng Shanyue and Bai Lan, everyone looked at Master Jade in amazement. Because Master Yu is a very strict person, it is impossible for a new student like Feng Shanyue to be taken out without a year and a half.
Bai Lan looked at Feng Shanyue with a knowing smile, since the last conversation, the two of them had been sitting on a couch.
"Master Jade really likes you very much!"
Feng Shanyue pulled her mouth away and smiled, "Where, where! She probably wants a hillbilly like me to have a long experience!"
"It's a good thing to go out with Master Yu, you have to seize the opportunity!" Bai Lan suddenly said very seriously.
"What chance?"
"Opportunity to perform, let Master Yu see your ability, so that you can quickly ascend to the Great Witch. If you're a witch, there's so much more you can do. β
"Like Senior Brother Yu?"
"That's right! Becoming the great witch of Wuzhen Academy has many benefits, you can go out and help people exorcise ghosts and make money!"
Feng Shanyue glanced at her strangely, and whispered, "Senior sister, why do you like to make money so much?" The last time Bai Lan went down the mountain to exorcise ghosts for a rich family, Yu Zijiang said that Bai Lan often went down the mountain to do such things.
"Isn't it normal to like to make money, don't you need money?" Bai Lan glanced at her.
Feng Shanyue felt that she was not telling the truth. Yu Zijiang said that Bai Lan was abandoned by her parents since she was a child, and grew up with a beggar to the age of ten, and after the beggar died, she was adopted by a wandering wizard. However, this wizard adopted her just to find a little girl to take care of her life, and did not intend to teach her witchcraft. Relying on her own understanding, Bai Lan secretly learned witchcraft, and later participated in local selections and trials in the academy, and finally entered the witch academy. Yu Zijiang's opinion is that she has had a bad life since she was a child, so she attaches great importance to money and needs a lot of money to provide a sense of security. But Feng Shanyue felt that Bai Lan's personality was very cheerful and confident, not like such a person.
Early the next morning, Yu Zijiang came to find Feng Shanyue, and the two went to Master Chen's house to meet Master Yu.
Siguan Chen was a small sesame official in the capital, but the benefits given to officials in the Shang Dynasty were not bad, so his house was on a relatively lively street. When Master Yu came over, Yu Zijiang hurriedly knocked on the door.
Chief Chen had already received news from Yi Dayin and knew that there would be witches from the Wuzhen Pavilion to exorcise demons from the house, so as soon as he heard the knock on the door, he immediately came over to open the door, "May I ask if you are a wizard sent by Yi Dayin?"
Yu Zijiang nodded, and turned back to introduce Master Yu to him, "This is Master Yu Linglong, a witch who is proficient in formations. The two of us were her students. β
Chief Chen nodded, and hurriedly invited the three of them into the hall to serve tea. Master Yu sat down, took a sip of tea, and asked Director Chen to lead the way to see the patient.
"Come with me, three. In order to facilitate the care, I moved all three of them to a house, which was in the main courtyard of the lady. β
Entering the main courtyard, Master Yu looked at the flowers and trees in the courtyard, frowned, Feng Shanyue felt that the bronze mirror was vibrating, and there were some purple smoke lingering in front of him, it seemed that there was indeed a demon in this courtyard.
"Chief Chen, who placed the flowers and plants in this courtyard?"
"This ...... This ......" Chief Chen was a little dazed, he was usually busy with official business, and his wife was in charge of all these housework at home, "It should be Mrs. Order." β
"Husband, I asked people to place these flowers and plants. A female voice came in from the gate of the courtyard, and when Officer Chen heard it, he quickly turned around and walked over quickly.
"Oh, Yanniang, why do you have to come out and walk around when your belly is so big? Didn't I let you stay in your yard?"
Feng Shanyue looked at this big-bellied woman carefully, and sighed secretly, this woman is really a stunner, although she is pregnant with Liujia, her skin is crystal white, her complexion is ruddy, and her eyebrows and eyes are extremely exquisite.
"While there is no one at this moment, I'll go out for a walk and breathe!" Yan Niang said with a gentle smile, she said no one, she was referring to the eldest lady's mother's family.
Director Chen walked over with a distressed face, "Did you place these flowers and plants?
Master Yu sneered twice, "It's really hard work! Use these flowers and trees to set up this demon array, you really have good intentions!"
