Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng didn't go to the temple to have fun, but to explore the situation.
They had just arrived, and there were three demons in their group. Of course, they had to find out the strength of the scattered Daoists before they could be at ease.
Li Yufeng was a human, so he could go anywhere. Chu Xiang was a ten-thousand-year-old demonic cultivator, so she knew countless things. Now that she had a cultivation level, it was easy for her to hide her demon aura. The two of them pretended to be husband and wife and prayed for blessings. In just a few days, they went to the surrounding temples.
There were four eminent monks near the capital that caught Chu Xiang's attention. They were in charge of the four temples to solve the problems of the demons in the capital. There were two Daoists of the same level as them. They were fellow disciples and were in charge of the famous Qingfeng Temple. They were usually sage-like and favored by the emperor. They often entered the palace to discuss Daoism with the emperor and even refined pills for the emperor.
There were many disciples of the Six Rao Disciples. They often walked around the capital like they were patrolling to see if there were any abnormalities. Some of them were kind and wanted to help the Six Rao Disciples. There were also those who wanted to profit from it. There were also those who used it to harm others for their own benefit. These had nothing to do with Chu Xiang. She only needed to be sure that there was no one here who could make her vigilant.
When she was bored in the courtyard, Chu Xiang suddenly had an idea. She said to Li Yufeng, "Let's open a shop? Aren't you a demon hunter? How about we help people exorcise ghosts, catch demons, and solve problems? Let's do something interesting. "
Li Yufeng paused in the middle of making tea. He lowered his eyes and smiled. "Why did you think of this? Are you bored? "
Chu Xiang leaned on the table and looked at the birds flying on the branches outside the window. "Yes, I thought I would encounter many interesting things when I went down the mountain. In the end, I didn't see many demons. Tsk, those demons ran away when they saw me. Am I that scary? If I had known, I wouldn't have taken revenge so early. At least I could have left some opponents to fight. "
"Ha, what kind of opponents are they?" Li Yufeng laughed. He put the tea in front of Chu Xiang and smoothed her hair. "Okay, if you want to open a shop, then open one. I'll be your errand boy."
Chu Xiang kissed him on the cheek with satisfaction and discussed the details of opening the shop with him. She was very good at this. She had opened countless shops in modern times, ancient times, and various worlds. She was very familiar with it.
On the other hand, Li Yufeng understood the methods of demon catchers, Daoist priests, and monks to respond to the requests of those supernatural beings. Therefore, he gave Chu Xiang a lot of suggestions. The two of them immediately went to the best location in the capital to buy a shop and asked someone to take care of it.
These trivial matters were all arranged by Li Yufeng. Chu Xiang didn't ask about it. When she saw it, even the signboard of the shop was hung. It was called Chuji Teahouse.
Chu Xiang contacted several suppliers to supply various grades of tea in the teahouse. There were three floors in the teahouse. The first floor was for gambling in consumption, the second floor was for gambling in high consumption, and the third floor was for receiving VIPs. The tea brewers were all experts, and the tea they brewed was absolutely delicious. As for the supernatural beings, as long as Ke Ru ordered a cup of "Chuji Teahouse" tea, the second floor would ask Ke Ru about the request and ask Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng for help.
Money could make the devil turn millstones. Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng had plenty of money. It didn't take long for Chuji Teahouse to be ready to open.
At first, Zhuang Liushi didn't care when she saw them going out. Later, she found out from their conversation that they were preparing to open a shop. The shock in her heart was indescribable. Because the capital was a dream-like place to her. She had been in the capital for so many years and still couldn't believe that Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng were actually going to open a shop. One had to know that every inch of land in the capital was worth an inch of gold. How much would it cost to open a three-story teahouse in the best location?!
Chu Xiang and Li Yufeng's position in Zhuang Liushi's heart rose again, to a height that she couldn't reach. Even her words became hesitant. After holding back for a long time, she asked tentatively, "Young Master Li, are you really going to open a teahouse? Then … do you think the teahouse is still short of people? I, I can do anything. Even if I don't know how to do it, I can learn. Can you give me a job to do? "
Zhuang Yulang and Bai Yi came back from shopping. When he heard Zhuang Liushi's words, he couldn't keep his face. He forced a smile and walked over: "Mother, what are you talking about? You've never done anything in a teahouse before. Don't make trouble for Brother Li. Brother Li, I'm really sorry … "
Li Yufeng waved his hand and smiled: "Brother Zhuang is too serious. What trouble? But auntie, I really don't care about this matter. This is my wife's teahouse. I'm just doing her a favor. "
Zhuang Liushi was stunned, "What? Chu Xiang opened it? "
Li Yufeng nodded, "Yes, the money used to open the teahouse is my wife's dowry. It has nothing to do with me. Therefore, the teahouse is my wife's private property. It's not good for me to ask. It's just that I'm afraid that she'll work hard, so I go and take a look when I have nothing to do. "
Zhuang Yulang smiled and said: "So that's how it is. I see. The teahouse can't be opened by Brother Li. Brother Li still has to go down and make a reference. How can he open a teahouse? It turns out that it's sister-in-law's private property. "
Zhuang Liushi swallowed her saliva. For the first time, she realized that Chu Xiang was not an orphan like Bai Yi, but a golden wawa with a huge dowry!
She subconsciously looked at Bai Yi, and the disgust in her heart couldn't be suppressed. She kept thinking that this was her son's benefactor who could help her son become a marquis. Only then did she suppress her unwillingness and said with a smile: "Then I'll wait for Chu Xiang, oh no, I'll wait for Mrs. Li to come back and ask her. You also know that our family came to the capital. There are still some days before the exam. We have to find something to do."
Li Yufeng nodded his head. He still had to study, so he went back to his room.
Zhuang Yulang pulled Zhuang Liushi into the room and said with displeasure: "Mother, what are you doing? How can I get along with Brother Li in the future? "
Zhuang Liushi sighed and said: "Do you think I'm not ashamed? Our two families live under the same roof. We see each other all the time, but the gap is so big. But I can't help it. We can't just sit and eat. Bai Yi's money is almost used up. What can we do? I've been looking for someone to work for me these days. Didn't Bai Yi also not find her? "
She wanted to complain that Bai Yi didn't look for her at all, but seeing that Bai Yi was a noble, she suppressed her words.
Bai Yi saw that Zhuang Liushi was dissatisfied with her, but she didn't understand why. She stepped forward and smiled at Zhuang Yulang: "Zhuang Dage, Xiang 'er and I are like sisters. How about I open a teahouse with her?"
Bai Yi and Chu Xiang opened a teahouse together. It was a straightforward meaning of "open a teahouse together", but in Zhuang Yulang's ears, he felt that she was born in a low family and didn't know how to talk. She didn't have any money. Why should she open a teahouse with Chu Xiang? She was an orphan girl who didn't know how to do business and didn't know how to manage a business. How could she be with Chu Xiang? If she went, wouldn't she just help pour tea and water for Chu Xiang? If his mother and future wife went to work in Li Yufeng's wife's teahouse, how could he raise his head in front of Li Yufeng?
Li Yufeng was either rich or noble. He was not from the same world as him. The reason why he could get along with Li Yufeng was because Bai You asserted that he could be the prime minister. Since he was the future prime minister and Li Yufeng was going to take the imperial exam, he naturally had the confidence to face Li Yufeng, who might be his subordinate.
But if his family went to work in a teahouse, it was different. That teahouse was the private property of Li Yufeng's wife. How could he be inferior? He had no face!
Bai Yi saw that Zhuang Yulang was unhappy, so she pulled him and asked: "Zhuang Dage, what's wrong with you?"
How could Zhuang Yulang? He got up and said: "In short, you are not allowed to go. I'm going to study."
Zhuang Yulang shook his sleeves and went back to his room, leaving Bai Yi and Zhuang Liushi looking at each other. Zhuang Liushi was very biased. She didn't feel that her son was unreasonable. She just felt that Bai Yi didn't have the ability to make her son happy. She couldn't help but mutter: "Li Gongzi is really lucky. Chu Xiang actually brought such a large dowry to marry him. She is really his benefactor."
Zhuang Liushi glanced at Bai Yi and also went back to her room. Bai Yi felt that there was a lot of content in that glance. It was not a good intention. She frowned and was not very happy. She picked up the snow-white fox and went out. She turned the corner and went to Bai You's house.
Bai You and Chu Xiang were sitting in the bamboo forest and playing chess. Li Yufeng, who had just pretended to study, was also there. He sat next to Chu Xiang and watched the game.
Chu Xiang saw Bai Yi coming and waved at her: "Yiyi, come here. We are waiting for you. These days, you often go out with that scholar. Did you have fun?"
Bai Yi sighed and sat on the other side of Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang turned to look at her: "What's wrong? Are you not happy? "
Bai Yi held the white fox and rested her chin on her hand: "Why do humans always have so many ideas? They are still keeping it in their hearts. If people want to guess, how can I guess? It's so annoying. "
Chu Xiang put down a piece on the chessboard and shook her head: "It's not just humans who have complicated thoughts. Any living creature is like this when they get together. It's just that there are fewer yao like us and we don't like to be with other yao."
Li Yufeng held a folding fan in his hand and gently fanned it, smiling: "This time, I know a little. Just now, Zhuang Liushi asked me if I could give her a job in the teahouse. I think she always looks down on you, so I told her that you opened the teahouse with your own dowry. Before I came, she wanted to wait for you to go back and ask you. "
Bai You said: "I see. If I guessed correctly, the mother and son of the Zhuang family must be unhappy."
Bai Yi said in surprise: "How do you know? That's right, both of them are unhappy. When they were outside, Brother Zhuang was very happy, but when he came home … why? Bai You, do you know? "
Bai You looked at the chessboard and put down the piece in his hand. He cupped his hands to Chu Xiang and said with a smile: "I lost. Sister Xiang is good at chess."
Chu Xiang waved her hand and took a sip of the tea Li Yufeng handed over. Bai You turned to Bai Yi and replied: "I guess that teahouse made Zhuang Yulang feel inferior and made him realize that there is a big gap between him and Brother Li and Sister Xiang. He is very uncomfortable. After all, he and Brother Li are equals. And his mother is even easier to guess. She has always disliked you. Now that she saw that Sister Xiang has a lot of dowry and you are about to use up all your money, she is naturally very dissatisfied. "
Bai Yi frowned and hugged the white fox tightly: "If it weren't for me, they would have had a harder time. I have already taken out a lot of money and taken over the family's work, making it much easier for them. Why are they still not satisfied? "
Chu Xiang chuckled: "A man who is never content is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. You just happened to meet two people who don't know how to be grateful and satisfied. However, isn't it very simple to make them happy now? Give them whatever they want. It's not like you don't have a cherry. "
Bai Yi snorted: "That's right, don't you just want to be rich? I can also open a shop! "
