Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Chen Family

It is said that after Chu Xiqing left the princess, she changed her face and covered up her cultivation, and she was still a Taoist aunt, but she had a medicine box in her hand, and it seemed that she was going down the mountain to deliver medicine. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Chu Xiqing's medicine is an ordinary medicine for typhoid fever, but it is very useful for the villagers here, she has seen other Taoist elders do this before, so she picked some medicine herself, brought it down the mountain to deliver the medicine, and inquired about the news by the way. The surrounding villagers all thought of her good and sent water and food, but she refused with a smile, just coaxed people to tell some rural anecdotes. The people around her thought that she was a small Taoist who had just come down the mountain to see the world, and she was still fresh, and they were willing to tell her some stories, but most of them were short of the east and west, and there was no substantive content.

On this day, she finished delivering the medicine and was about to go up the mountain to pick some, when she heard a commotion at the gate of the city, and a caravan drove in a carriage all the way, and the leader was wearing silk and satin, looking very rich, and the people behind were also accompanied by brocade clothes, giving people a feeling of gold. Without waiting for Chu Xiqing to inquire, someone told her that this was the Chen family, a wealthy merchant in the south of the city, who usually resold valuable goods, and this time I heard that she had just returned from the East China Sea and brought back rare pearls and corals, so everyone joined in the fun. Chu Xiqing followed the crowd, because the clothes were plain, and they didn't look very eye-catching, all the way to Chen's house, watching their big box go in, Xu wanted to show off his economic strength, and specially opened a box of pearl coral for everyone to enjoy. Those pearls are all the size of a dragon's eye, looking at it is a good thing, Chu Xiqing heard the people next to him say, this thing must be supplied to the palace by the Chen family, although these pearls have some aura to grow so big, but Chu Xiqing is not unfamiliar with these treasures, but he is just curious about what way the Chen family has to find such a good thing. Everyone was still leaning forward to take a closer look, when a small box fell out, the color was dull and inconspicuous, the third young master of the Chen family, that is, the person at the head of the convoy just now, frowned, and asked the person who moved the box, "What's the matter, didn't you tell you to be lighter?" ”

Everyone didn't care about this small scene, only Chu Xiqing frowned, she seemed to hear a voice in the box, it was a living thing, and it was not an ordinary animal, although the aura was weak, but it was very pure. She looked at it again, and the box looked ordinary, but in fact, the pattern of the same color as the box was not very conspicuous, but it was a confinement spell. There was still a terrible thing in this house, Chu Xiqing didn't want to meddle in things, but when he heard a cry for help from the small box that ordinary people couldn't hear, his heart softened again, and he wanted to investigate again.

The son of the Chen family didn't notice Chu Xiqing in the crowd, watched everyone put things together, and called two more people to carry the small box to his house. Although this small box looks not big, but I don't know what material it is made of, it is so heavy that a person can't lift it at all, Chen Gongzi went out for dinner, and after making sure that the box was placed, he locked the door, and then entered the door after eating, but found that the box was held in the arms of a strange girl. The other party came in quietly, it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person, and he could hold the sinking box with his bare hands.

"Chen Gongzi, don't panic, I'm not here to steal your baby."

Chu Xiqing came in just now, and found that this box was not simple, she couldn't unlock the confinement on it at all, she could only try to talk to the spiritual creatures inside, but the language was not very comprehensible, and the other party only repeatedly said the word "help" for a long time, and only vaguely mentioned that he had been arrested for a long time. Now that Chu Xiqing was leaving, the other party started crying, which made her feel guilty, so she could only start from the Chen family.

Fortunately, she also knew that there were no masters in the Chen family, and the courtyard was full of mortals, and it was estimated that it was only by relying on the confinement on the box that the little things in the box could be imprisoned.

The third son of the Chen family didn't know what was in the box, but he just followed his father's instructions and couldn't open it at will, in fact, the lid of the box was very heavy and delicate, and it was difficult to open. Now that someone suddenly took this box, he intuitively felt that the other party would cut off his business, so his mind was full of thoughts about how to blow away the person in front of him.

Chu Xiqing knew that he couldn't talk about it when he looked like that, so she put on a straight face, but she was tender and not majestic, and deliberately said in a cold tone, "You know what is in the box, and you are not afraid of bringing trouble to your family." ”

This made Chen Gongzi stunned, he originally felt that the box was weird, coupled with Chu Xiqing's identity, he had some associations in his heart, but after all, he had seen the world, and he couldn't be deceived by someone in three or five sentences, so he replied unceremoniously, "This is my family's business, and I don't care about it." ”

"Alas, I don't know the hearts of good people." Chu Xiqing gently put down the box and watched Chen Gongzi's eyes widen and look at her in disbelief.

Chen Gongzi shook his head and calmed down, "This is the Chen family's business, and it can't be decided by others." ”

Seeing that he still didn't let go, Chu Xiqing also guessed that the Chen family was also indulged in greed, nine times out of ten in this box were imprisoned spirit beasts such as treasure hunting rats, they were able to find genius treasures by themselves, but their ability to escape was weak, but it was extremely difficult to be caught. If the Chen family continues to be tortured like this, I'm afraid that the treasure searching spirit beast will not be good. Thinking of this, Chu sighed, "This box has been passed down to your family for ten generations, and it is the tenth generation to you?" ”

This is a family secret, others must not know, even Chen Sangongzi only learned about the usefulness of this box and some very little information after taking over the family business, including the fact that he is already the tenth generation, but how can the people in front of him know. And Chu Xiqing deduced from the words that the spirit beast told her just now, and just wanted Chen Sangongzi to listen to her persuasion. Chen Sangongzi's face turned pale, and he suspected that someone was trying to take away their family's treasure. Listening to Chu Xiqing's voice again, his first reaction was not to listen to the other party's admonition, but how to find out the other party's background. Chu Xiqing has always been very careful in observing people, and when he saw that people's eyes were wrong, he knew that he couldn't listen to his own admonitions, and he only sighed in his heart. Their family treats the spirit beast in the box like this, I am afraid that if they let the treasure hunting beast out, the other party will not give up, and they must take revenge on the Chen family, and they may become its accomplices, but do they ignore it and let them continue to torture this poor spirit beast. Chu Xiqing wanted to take the box away first, but after all, it was the Chen family's thing, and he couldn't be a thief.

It's just that the Chen family is moved, I'm afraid it's very rare, thinking of this, Chu Xiqing still decided to work harder, at least to ask what was going on with the spirit beast in the box.

Things are frozen here, someone needs to take a step back, Chu Xiqing was thinking about how to take a step back, so he heard Chen Sangongzi say, "Dao Elder might as well go to the guest room to wait first, I always have to discuss such a big matter with the elders in the family." ”

Chu Xiqing guessed that the other party would definitely not discuss the problem of the small box, but how to deal with herself, but she still let the other party go, just said that she would not go to the guest room, just wait for him here, with the small box.
