Liaozhai Great Sage

"That's not necessarily true. Have you forgotten the first time you and I met?" Li Xiuyuan said.

Wang Ping suddenly became embarrassed. He and Li Xiuyuan met for the first time in the wilderness. He was bewitched by ghosts and rolled in the mud. Now every time he thinks about it, he feels ashamed. Luckily, Brother Li didn't spread the word about it. Otherwise, I would have no face to face others, but I have been more careful since then, and I haven't encountered any evil things for a long time.

"Before I asked a servant to inquire about the identity of that flower girl, maybe I can know something." Li Xiuyuan said.

"If it's all right, shall we go to the Xiangjiang Tower later?" Zhu Yu said with a smile, obviously he never forgot about that beautiful young woman.

Soon, a servant came in again.

"Young master, I have found out clearly." The servant hurriedly ran over and said.

"How's the situation?" Li Xiuyuan asked.

The servant said in a low voice; "There is no artist called Hua Niang in Xiangjiang Building."

No?

Several people's faces froze, and some bad things instantly occurred to their minds, and their backs couldn't help but feel cold.

"Why not? Did you not ask clearly?" Zhu Yu said.

"A small fellow from my hometown works as a buddy there, and I know exactly how many girls and maidservants there are there. The girls mentioned by the young masters have names and surnames that are easy to find, but there are really none in Xiangjiang Tower." fellow said.

Li Xiuyuan gave him a small piece of broken silver and said: "Thank you, brother, what you said is true, maybe we made a mistake, so I won't bother you."

"Thank you for the reward, my lord." The boy smiled and took the money and left.

"Mr. Li, this matter is strange." Ning Caichen became serious.

Although he is upright, he has also encountered ghosts and ghosts. Now that the boy has found no such person, this flower girl must be unusual.

Li Xiuyuan said: "That's right, this woman is indeed weird, if you see her in the future, you'd better stay away, don't be fooled by her beauty, I still remember the lesson from last time."

"Yes, yes." Both Wang Ping and Zhu Yu were sweating coldly on their foreheads.

They all have a nightmare memory.

"Of course I came here to listen to Ten Niang's music. Talking about Hua Niang, I really have to look forward to Shu, and I don't have enough greed." A scholar next to him seemed to have heard a few words, and after passing by, he laughed a little bit drunk. The woman supported him, for fear that he would fall.

"It's you... Chutian?"

Li Xiuyuan didn't pay attention at first, but when the scholar passed by, he suddenly discovered that this man was none other than the son of Guo Beicheng's Chu family, Chu Tian.

But now the Chu family no longer exists, and this Mr. Chu is just a down-and-out scholar.

That flood submerged the Chu family’s mansion, and now it’s deserted and no one takes care of it. For some reason, Chu Tian has not returned to Guo Beicheng to take care of the mansion, so that all the servants of the Chu family have dispersed. It's clean.

Chu Tian seemed to be drinking from somewhere, drunk: "Who is this young master? It turns out to be Li Xiuyuan. Why are you still alive? That flood even drowned the city and didn't drown you."

"I made you miss it. Unfortunately, that flood didn't drown me yet." Li Xiuyuan said, his attitude was also not very good.

Back in Guo Beicheng, the two of them were fighting to the death. He wished to kill Li Xiuyuan. Li Xiuyuan also sent someone to assassinate him. Unfortunately, Xing Shan's arrow missed the vital point. Although it passed through the chest, it still Failed to take his life.He was rescued by that minister Chu's abrupt change of fate.

The price is that the rest of the family's luck is exhausted, causing endless troubles.

Intoxicated, Chu Tian picked up a teacup next to him and threw it at Li Xiuyuan: "I beat you to death, and it is because of you that I fell into such a situation."

"The account between you and me hasn't been settled yet. If you want to continue the calculation, I can accompany you to the end." Li Xiuyuan grabbed the teacup casually, and then threw it away.

Chu Tian swayed and fell to the ground. He felt a sharp pain in his chest, but because he was drunk, he didn't react too much.

"Mr. Li, please forgive me, Mr. Chu, he was drunk and didn't do it on purpose." The woman who supported him next to him apologized.

Li Xiuyuan took a look, he had some impression of this girl, she was the girl who gave him a couplet in Guo Beicheng, named Luoxia.

"Miss Luoxia, this Chutian is a cold-natured, cruel and merciless person. You came with the wrong person."

There was a trace of bitterness and helplessness at the corner of Luoxia's mouth, but she didn't speak.

"Crack~!"

Chu Tian suddenly stood up and slapped Luo Xia on the face suddenly, and then said with a drunken smile: "Following the wrong person? Hey, I can't help her, she is my concubine of the Chu family, born from my Chu family , death is the ghost of my Chu family, I can do whatever I want, does she dare to say no?"

Li Xiuyuan said: "If my guess is correct, you are the only one left in your Chu family. You treat the only woman around you so harshly. Isn't the retribution from last time not enough?"

"What does this young master like to do with you? Not only does this young master want to beat her, but he also sells her."

Chu Tian suddenly got drunk and said: "Young Master Qian, didn't you say last time that you thought the maid next to me was pretty? 100 taels, how about selling you?"

A group of scholars gathered together to finish the game of Fushi, at this time a scholar surnamed Qian responded: "Oh, Mr. Chu, is what you said true?"

"It's absolutely true." Chu Tian said.

"Okay, I bought it for 100 taels."

Mr. Qian readily paid 100 taels, and then happily took Luoxia's hand: "From now on, you will be with me. Don't worry, I won't beat and scold you casually like Mr. Chu. I admire your literary talent. In the future You can teach my nephew, the child to read and write."

"I have seen Mr. Qian." Luo Xia touched her tears and looked at Chu Tian.

People who have been with them for so many years sold themselves in the blink of an eye, how can they not feel sad.

"Fortune is for misfortune, misfortune is for blessing, Miss Luoxia, it is better for you to follow Mr. Qian than to follow Chutian. At least you will have no worries about food and clothing, and you will be able to die well." Time for an extra quaint book.

Luoxia didn't speak, but looked very haggard.

But there are some things he can't control, and some things he can't allow to continue to happen.

Thinking about it, his eyes moved slightly, only to find that Chutian's last fortune was running out, and he should die after spending the 100 taels of silver.

You must know that the remaining money of the Chu family is quite a lot. If this Chu Tian saves money, he will be able to live comfortably in this life. Unfortunately, he squandered at will, scattered the money, and enjoyed the last blessing, so his fate has come early.

A person's fortune, wealth and longevity are fixed, and so is money.

It is clearly recorded in the book of life and death.

For example, if a person needs to spend 1 taels of silver to die, he will not die until the money is spent.

At the beginning, Chu Shilang saved Chutian for the sake of the Chu family, but unfortunately the karma he committed was too serious. Chutian's fortune, wealth and longevity have been exhausted, and he will die when his remaining wealth is exhausted.

After selling Luoxia, he got 100 taels of silver, which was his last money.

However, Li Xiuyuan didn't want Chutian to continue squandering the 100 taels. He said, "Chutian, how about a Wendou game between you and me?"

"Oh, you want to fight with me, what are you fighting for?"

"It's up to you to decide what to fight, but the bet is 100 taels of silver, how about it?" Li Xiuyuan said.

"Hey, I really thought I was afraid that you would fail, so I would fight, but if you lose, I don't want you 100 taels of silver, I want you to kneel on the ground and bark like a dog." Chu Tian sneered, half drunk.
