Chapter 34: Find a Taoist Priest
Su Manxue looked at the housekeeper who was stupid on the spot, and thought of what Mrs. Ji had called her over just now, and she felt a little guilty in her heart after all.
As the housekeeper of the Ji family, does he really have no brains at all? If it weren't for the support of the Ji family and his wife, how could she dare to be so presumptuous?
"If Steward Qin has any thoughts in my heart, just tell me directly, why bother to talk to Mrs. Ji around the bush." Su Manxue sat down and took a sip of tea, she is also the owner of the Ji family, what about spending some money from the Ji family?
"How dare the little lady have any thoughts about the young lady, the young lady should not be too careful." Steward Qin was still a little bitter in his heart, and he didn't expect that things would get to this point.
Steward Qin originally thought that as long as he reported like this, Mrs. Ji would definitely be on his side. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Ji not only did not say that the young lady was bad, but gave him a faceless face in front of the young lady.
Mrs. Ji had nothing to say, and Master Ji was also silent. Seeing that the Ji family's silver was spent like flowing water, as a housekeeper, he was really anxious.
I really don't know how this young lady bewitched the old lady of the Ji family and indulged her so much.
"Anyway, you remember." Su Manxue couldn't talk about warnings, after all, Steward Qin was also for the good of the Ji family, but in Steward Qin's heart, she didn't regard her as the master, "Since I am married to Ji Jiuhua, I am the master of the Ji family, if I misbehave and do something bad, even if you tell Mrs. Ji, but for things like spending money, the entire Ji family is mine." β
Steward Qin listened to Su Manxue's words, so he had to nod again and again, "Young lady, the little one knows." β
After talking to the butler, it was soon time for dinner.
The family happily talked at the table, and after eating, they didn't talk much, and went back to their respective houses.
"Jiuhua." Su Manxue sat in front of Shu Fangzhai's case, and after thinking about it, she decided to have a good chat with him.
"I heard that Steward Qin and his mother said some rumors today, you don't have to worry too much." Ji Jiuhua seemed to directly see Su Manxue's thoughts, and he didn't know where he heard this news.
"I'm not talking about that." Su Manxue felt a slight headache, "I think that your Ji family's servants haven't treated me as a master yet." β
"I don't think you see yourself as a master." When Ji Jiuhua heard the words of your Ji family, he felt a little unhappy in his heart, as if Su Manxue was going to separate from him.
Su Manxue knew that she was speechless, she might have provoked Steward Qin. He couldn't say it well, but he wanted to say it in front of the Ji family and his wife, she was like an outsider to the Ji family.
"Daddy, I didn't scream less, and I also gave me the money to change my mouth, since I'm already yours, this little slip of the tongue, you adults don't care about me, right?" Su Manxue hugged Ji Jiuhua's neck, holding her head high, with a smile in her eyes.
made Steward Qin angry, and dared to say such things in front of Ji Jiuhua.
"Naughty." Ji Jiuhua said something serious, but he hugged Su Manxue who was hanging on his body with his backhand and took her to sit on the chair.
"You can do whatever you want in the future, don't worry about what others think."
Late at night, Su Manxue was lying beside him with Ji Jiuhua's sturdy waist in her arms, feeling very relieved.
The next morning, before the dew on the greenery in the house had dripped clean, Steward Qin was responsible for going out to purchase ingredients to ensure that the food for the day was fresh and suitable for the tastes of the masters.
"Count a hexagram, count a hexagram, don't want money if you don't workβ"
Just as Steward Qin wanted to return to the Ji Mansion, a lazy voice came from a tattered stall on the side of the road. As Steward Qin's gaze passed, this person was dressed in tatters, and he yawned as if he had just woken up.
Steward Qin thought that his luck had been bad recently, and the state of the Ji family and his wife was not quite right, so it was better to ask this Taoist priest to see what evil really happened in the mansion.
Although he just thought about it in his heart, he had already equated the demon with Su Manxue, if it weren't for Su Manxue's appearance, how could he be so aggrieved now.
The Taoist priest's eyes narrowed slightly, he was still a little sleepy, but now he saw a man with a dignified appearance and upper average clothes walking towards him, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Although his stall is a little broken, but he is a famous half-immortal in the capital, many dignitaries and nobles have not failed in his fortune telling house, he can report the other party's birth date when he opens his mouth, in order to gain the trust of the other party, but these things are memorized by him in advance.
The Taoist priest's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Steward Qin had a gold plate hanging from his waist, and a big Ji character was written on it. Looking at the fact that although he was wearing relatively good satin, it was still a little different from the dignitaries and nobles he had met in the past, and he had a few points in his heart.
If you want to say that the Ji family in the capital has such a valuable brand, it must be the Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue families who have been on fire recently.
Thinking of this, Steward Qin had already walked in front of this Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest had already estimated him thoroughly in his heart.
"Yo, sir, your surname is Qin?" The Taoist priest looks like a hanger, and with his tattered appearance, he looks like a master of the Tao, but he is not informal.
"How do you know?" Steward Qin asked a Taoist priest for the first time to tell a hexagram, and he was frightened by him as soon as he heard this, "I see that you have a half-immortal written on it, but I didn't expect that you, a Taoist priest, really have some skills." β
The Taoist priest twisted his sparse and dusty goatee, and put on an unfathomable expression, a few gray and black fingers, and mud between the nails that had not been trimmed for a long time, and pretended to pinch and calculate.
"Since I dare to wear this brand, I naturally have some ability." The Taoist priest's expression was a little impatient, "Butler of the Ji Mansion, I think you have something to worry about." β
He didn't use a question sentence, but said the answer firmly, nonsense, can you find his people without a little distress and trouble?
"Daxian is really a god, I think everything Daxian can say clearly." Although the housekeeper has been stunned by him, he still has a little doubt and disbelief in his heart, after all, now that the Ji family and his wife are in the capital, if he invites a big immortal to go back, it will not be easy to explain, "I don't know if the big immortal knows what I am troubled by?" β
"It must be the young lady who just arrived from the Ji family, right?" Although this Taoist priest uses the side door and left way, he is indeed smart.
He knew that the Ji family had been safe and sound for so many years, but after Ji Jiuhua and Su Manxue came to the capital, the housekeeper began to be distressed, and there was a story about Su Manxue recently, so he didn't want to have anything to do with this young lady.
The housekeeper completely trusted this Taoist priest at this moment, and he couldn't wait to invite him back to the Ji family as a guest immediately.
"How can I crack her magic?"
