The Jiang family did not say anything further. Zhuang Yulang and Bai Yi also maintained their calm on the surface, but they spoke less. Zhuang Yulang began to consider moving elsewhere. He did not want to live in the same courtyard as Chu Xiang and the others, so as not to lose face like that day.
The more he acted like this, the more disappointed Bai Yi was in him. After all, she was the one who earned the money. He refused to coax her but spent his money so confidently. What right did he have to be so confident?
Chu Xiang could understand this point. The thoughts of demons were similar to modern people, but this was ancient times. A woman married and followed her husband, not to mention that Bai Yi's identity was just an orphan with no one to rely on.
In ancient times, one's family background was too important. Even ordinary people were afraid of orphans and might not be willing to let her in. Zhuang Yulang was still a high scholar and was about to become an official. Bai Yi had no status and did not have the upbringing of a noble lady. She did not know how to maintain relationships and did not know how to attend banquets. She was not worthy of Zhuang Yulang.
No matter how capable Bai Yi was, Zhuang Yulang was a native of ancient times. He was also an ancient person who did not have any foresight. He looked down on Bai Yi and thought that marrying her was good enough for her. He naturally enjoyed Bai Yi's efforts. It was a normal phenomenon. Many people were like this.
Wasn't this information not equal? He did not know that Bai Yi was an extraordinary demon. It was normal for him to think this way. Bai Yi could not tell him the truth. It would only be worse. So how could such a relationship be happy? The so-called "humans and demons have different paths" was often because of this.
Chu Xiang knew that Bai Yi would struggle in her heart at this stage, so she left her enough space to let her be alone. She left early and returned late every day to take care of her business. Her business expanded rapidly. She was also very busy now.
In the blink of an eye, it was time for the exam. Zhuang Liushi wore a red dress. Her face was full of smiles, but she was very nervous and helpless. She was busy around Zhuang Yulang. On the other hand, Li Yufeng's side was very ordinary. He and Chu Xiang were so leisurely that it was as if there was no one to study.
Zhuang Liushi looked at Chu Xiang, and then looked at Bai Yi, who was holding the fox and sitting under the grape trellis in a daze. She pursed her lips and swallowed her discontent. She felt that Bai Yi had learned bad things from Chu Xiang. She was not as clever and sensible as before. This Zhuang Yulang was about to enter the examination room, but he didn't know to come and help.
Zhuang Yulang was also nervous. He had placed poorly in the previous High Scholar examination. Now that he was famous, it would be embarrassing if he did not enter the top three. At this time, he remembered the "family heirloom" that Bai Yi gave him to eat. After hesitating for a moment, he walked in front of Bai Yi and whispered with a smile, "Yi Yi, today I'm going to play. When I return from high school, I'll marry you."
He took the initiative to bow his head. Bai Yi thought she would be happy, but she found that she only felt tired. The problem between them still hadn't been solved directly. He still hadn't promised her that he wouldn't see sister Jiang again.
She smiled casually. "Brother Zhuang will definitely surpass Zheng."
Hearing this, Zhuang Yulang felt relieved. Bai Yi was his lucky star. She was his benefactor. She must be in high school. Then he will definitely be in high school.
Zhuang Yulang excitedly asked Li Yufeng to go to the examination room with him. Chu Xiang and Bai Yi sent the two of them to the examination room and watched them go in. Bai Yi curiously asked Chu Xiang, "Sister, did Li Yufeng really go to the examination? How is his literary talent? I haven't heard him recite poems on weekdays. "
Chu Xiang thought for a moment. "I haven't heard of his poems and essays, but I think he has a card up his sleeve. He should be able to do it." She looked at Bai Yi and smiled. "You don't care about your Brother Zhuang so much now? Seeing that he's not nervous when he enters the examination room, you still have the mind to pay attention to others. Why, didn't you feel happy when you heard that he married you? "
Bai Yi snorted softly. "His attitude is strange, as if I should be grateful and happy that he married me. It's his blessing to marry me, okay? I don't think it's interesting. "
Chu Xiang led her in the direction of the teahouse and asked, "Have you seen Sister Jiang these few days? What are you doing there? You didn't do anything, did you? "
"No, I learned from my mistakes. I won't casually attack humans. Humans are too fragile. I just went to see what she looks like. How is she better than me? " Bai Yi sneered. "Anyway, I didn't see it. That woman has a set in front of people and a set behind people. When she's unhappy, she even beats her maidservant. If she wants to marry him, she has to wait and see if he can pass the high school. Her appearance is also far worse than mine. I really don't know why Brother Zhuang wants to interact with her."
Bai Yi held the white fox in her arms, full of confusion. She was very puzzled about this matter. Zhuang Yulang already had such a good fiancee like her. Why would he pay attention to that Sister Jiang?
"Didn't you pretend to be Xue 'er and Zhuang Yulang alone? Is he okay? "
"Yes, it's all because he wants to take the exam. He ate the Snow Lotus Pill, so it's easy for him to study. He should be able to pass the exam. "
Chu Xiang shook her head and said with a smile: "That's not necessarily true. No matter how smart a person is, he must study hard, just like how no matter how talented a goblin is, he must work hard to cultivate. He calls his friends all day long. How can he study hard? "
Bai Yi frowned slightly and found another disappointing thing about Zhuang Yulang. She gave him such a good Snow Lotus Pill, but he didn't work hard. He didn't know how to cherish it. As a goblin, they had worked hard to cultivate to their current cultivation. They looked down on those who didn't work hard. She suddenly found that she didn't seem to understand Zhuang Yulang.
"Sister, it's too hard to fall in love with humans. It's not as pleasant as when I treat others."
Chu Xiang laughed and said, "Then you go treat others and do what you like. Let nature take its course."
"Okay, I'll listen to sister. Sister, you take the fox back. I'll go to the pharmacy to get the medicine box. Today, I'll go to a county in the suburbs to see a doctor. "
"Go." Chu Xiang took the white fox and watched Bai Yi run away. This white fox was a real fox. She found it on their way to the capital. It was very intelligent and obedient.
Chu Xiang pinched the white fox's ears and smiled: "Your Sister Yi Yi is going to work hard. This is the right thing to do. It's too difficult to challenge human feelings as soon as you enter the world. You'll be happy if you do more simple things. "
The smile on Chu Xiang's lips was faint. She walked on the street with the fox in her arms. Because of her outstanding appearance, she attracted a lot of attention. She recalled when she was a teenager. At that time, she hadn't cultivated and hadn't come into contact with Devil Cultivators. At that time, she also liked a man.
She didn't remember who that man was. She also didn't remember what she did at that time. In the end, she was still young and inexperienced. She was sincere and willing to give everything. She was also very stupid.
It was too far away. She couldn't remember anything. But when she saw Bai Yi, she vaguely felt like she was looking at herself. That young and inexperienced self who didn't understand anything. She stumbled, struggled, and slowly honed a heart of stone. She became a great Devil Cultivator who made people tremble in fear.
When she was confused, if someone could watch over her and give her advice, wouldn't that be very happy? Just like Bai Yi now.
Chu Xiang held the fox. Her leisurely appearance fell into the eyes of those who were interested in her. It was too beautiful to behold. On the second floor of a restaurant, a noble young master holding a folding fan looked at Chu Xiang and asked with a smile: "Who is that woman below? It's not an exaggeration to say that she's the most beautiful woman in the world. How come I've never seen her before? "
The blue clothed man next to him glanced and said: "Third Young Master, this woman is the proprietress of the Chu Teahouse on the street. She came to the capital a few months ago to accompany her husband. Today is the start of the exam. Seeing her walk over there, she should have just sent her husband off. "
"Oh? She's married? "The third young master's smile faded a little.
The blue clothed man hurriedly said: "Her husband doesn't often show his face. I've never heard of him having any talent. That teahouse is called Chu Ji. It's similar to marrying into a family. If third young master is interested, I'll go ask around. "
The third young master closed his folding fan and gently tapped his palm a few times. He smiled and said: "Let's go to the teahouse and take a look. It's rare for us to come out, so let's find some fresh entertainment."
"Yes, third young master." The blue clothed man led the third young master downstairs and added: "The Chu Teahouse is very mysterious. The proprietress seems to have some unusual abilities. I heard that she can subdue demons, catch ghosts, and help people with fortune-telling to ward off evil spirits. The matter of the Assistant Minister of Rites Chen Daren's family was solved by her. "
"Oh? Interesting. Then I have to go see her. Usually, those with abilities are all scattered Daoist priests. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful woman. I have to have a good talk with her. "
When the blue clothed man saw the smile on the third young master's face, he knew that he had taken a fancy to Chu Xiang. The third young master had a noble status. If he took a fancy to a beautiful woman, what did it matter if she had a husband? He immediately ordered someone to make arrangements. He didn't forget to find two Daoist priests, in case Chu Xiang really had some abilities that they couldn't handle.
Chu Xiang returned to the teahouse. Just as she opened the account book and sat down, she saw the second waiter come over: "Proprietress, there's a distinguished guest in the No.1 private room. He must see you. Do you think …"
Chu Xiang didn't take it seriously, "See me? Did he meet with some trouble? You just need to bring him here. "
The second waiter said awkwardly: "No, he doesn't look like he's here to ask for help. It seems like he heard your name and specially came to see you."
"Huh?" Chu Xiang had never met such a person. However, since he was a guest, there was no harm in meeting him. She stood up and patted the fox beside her hand: "Send this fox to the backyard and get it something to eat. I'll go take a look."
Chu Xiang used her divine sense to scan the room. She saw two young men sitting in the No.1 private room. There were four people who looked like bodyguards standing next to them. She asked someone to make a pot of tea and brought them to the private room.
The third young master looked up and saw Chu Xiang. He felt that she was even more beautiful than when he saw her on the street. He couldn't help but praise her with a poem: "I've long heard that the proprietress has an extraordinary appearance. Today, I see that it's true."
Chu Xiang smiled faintly: "Thank you, young master. May I know why you called me here?"
The blue clothed man sensibly stood up and stood aside. The third young master smiled and pointed at the seat opposite him with his fan: "Proprietress, why don't you take a seat? I've heard that the proprietress is good at helping people solve problems. I happen to have a matter here and I want to see if the proprietress can help me solve it."
"Then, young master, come and listen." Chu Xiang readily sat down opposite him. She used her divine sense to scan downstairs and found two Daoist priests. Her smile deepened. No matter what this man wanted to do, he had to follow her rules when he came to her place!
