“A handsome boy? And you have met him before? Which celestial is he?” Madam Luo was confused, and then she narrowed her eyes, thinking for a while. Under the celestial of Sanqing Immortals and 6 Great Emperors, there were 5 Emperors (Qingdi Emperor, Chidi Emperor, Huangdi Emperor, Baidi Emperor, and Heidi Emperor), 3 Islands and 10 States, Emperors of Heaven, Hell and Water (Heaven Emperor for blessing, Hell Emperor for forgiving, and Water Emperor for disaster-solving), 4 Heavenly Kings… Was there such a celestial like this? She couldn’t think of anyone, so she turned to Mammy Tang, who also shook her head, showing that she knew nothing about any old celestial who could change from an “old celestial” to a “young celestial”.
Ah, had Yi met a fox immortal? Or a fox demon? Madam Luo was nervous and she squeezed He Danggui’s hand again and again, as if she wanted to figure out whether the girl in front of her was her granddaughter or not. What a meek girl with same eyebrow
“Ho--”“Ho! Ho! Ho--”“Ah! Miss, look at that! There is something wrong with Madam Luo’s gharry!” Chan Yi retracted her head from the window and said fretfully, “That gharry is very fast! It’s a block far away from us!”“Wow! Miss, see. A lot of stalls on the two sides of the street were crashed by Madam Luo’s gharry!” Huai Hua retracted her head from the window on the other side of the gharry and added in excitement, “Her gharry not only runs fast, but also runs in this way…” She gesticulated, “The gharry runs diagonally over there. There is a fork ahead. What should we do if Madam Luo’s gharry crashes other’s gharry?”He Danggui took out a veil to put on from her dyeing cloth-wrapper, and then shouted at the driver Ren Dongteng, “Mr. Ren, stop the gharry quickly!”Madam Luo’s gharry dashed around the street. Were the horses out of control? It was so strange. The gharry of Madam Luo matched the well-trained fine horse
He Danggui retracted back a little and persuaded Madam Luo in a low voice, “You are sick, Grandma. This pill is just a temporary emergency medicine for refreshing, and it’s just a palliative. Therefore, you should take care of yourself!”“Top-class pills?!” Before Madam Luo replied, Mammy Tang also shrieked, “Jeez!” He Danggui’s shoulder shook because of the super high volume. “Third Miss, you… you have made the top-class pills, right?” Mammy Tang asked. So far as she knew, to make the top-class pills, people should filter out of the crude dregs of a decoction with a precise percolation pot, just leaving the best part, and then combine it with the special honey which was most suitable for this medicine to melt into pills. San Qing Tang gathered pharmaceutical seniors of the whole Yangzhou City and even the whole southern area together, but there were no more than 10 people who could make first-class pills! Third Miss was illiterate and had no precise pharmaceutical tool
Feng Jiugu was 41 years old now. She was the sister of Feng Yilian, Bangzhu (the leader) of Caobang Organization, and the aunt of Feng Yang, the Young Bangzhu of Caobang Organization. She was a Hmong girl adopted by Grandpa Feng from the southwest area in his early years. It was said that she was an orphan girl of Grandpa Feng’s best friend. Her parents entrusted her to Grandpa Feng before they died. Because of her beauty, Grandpa Feng had planned to let her be the wife of his son when she grew up, but a fortune-teller said that she was a white tiger spirit in the previous life and would capture her husband’s life. Therefore, Grandpa Feng finally adopted Feng Jiugu as his foster daughter.When Feng Jiugu was 18 years old, Grandpa Feng gave an open challenge to fight, so as to choose a strong husband for her. But a year later, the strong man died of tuberculosis. Grandpa Feng was surprised, so he found a Tangzhu (the leader of a sector in an organization) of Caobang Orga
Guan’s Family was influential in the Ming Dynasty, with famous members including Guan Jingze, the officer tutoring the Crown Prince, Guan Qingtang, the Deputy Chief of Taipu Administration (a department in charge of affairs related to horses), Guan Rangru, the Grand Scholar of Wen Hua Palace, and Guan Lin, the Zhaoyong General. Since people of Guan’s Family rarely participated in the factionalism, the Emperor always thought highly of them. Therefore, the Guan’s Family could be one of the seven great clans of the Ming Dynasty in every sense.“Wu’s Family, Luo’s Family, Guan’s Family and Sun’s Family are rich and noble” was quite popular in Yangzhou City, but the Guan’s Family in Yangzhou City was only a collateral relative of the Guan’s Clan. In the past, sons of the Guan’s Family in Yangzhou City were almost officials. However, now most of them ran the family business like Luo’s Family in Yangzhou City. In addition to the well-known “Long Tao Weaving Factory” that they
Mammy Tang felt it was improper to ask Third Miss to deliver the medicine. Although Third Miss was young and veiled, she should not do the errand work of delivering things to men. Then Mammy Tang forced herself to her feet and said, “I’ll deliver the medicine, and you should wait in the gharry, Third Miss.”“Since Mammy Tang’s ankle is sprained, I’ll do it!” He Danggui picked up the small wooden box, stood up and said, “But the three dray horses of our gharry look sick. You see, they are heavy breathing, and their eyes are a bit red. Mammy Tang, you get off and wait. I’ll ask Gui Banjiao to bring my gharry here. You and Grandma should also go home by Ren Dongteng’s gharry!” After she said that and jumped off the gharry firstly, she also enjoined Gui Banjiao the same thing.On this side, Madam Luo was still lobbying hard, “... Well, my good boy, come home with me?” It sounded like a trafficker trying to kidnap a child.Feng Yang thought for a mo
The moment before the horse’s hoof was going to fall on He Danggui’s head, she eventually found the feeling of flying in her previous life. When she wanted to jump up for a test flight, her tip of nose knocked into a high and hard “wall” within a blink.A folding fan hung on the “wall” lifted her veil first. Then the “wall” rushed forward again and rebounded her back to the ground. When she opened her eyes, she saw the black shadow of the horse’s hoof falling slowly. She only got enough time to turn over and protect the little kid under her body, then she was suddenly hit by a weight in the middle of her back. And then she fainted and was unconscious immediately.How did she survive?Speaking of that, she had to thank Gao Jue and Lu Jiangbei for conveying their Zhenqi to her. She hadn’t mastered the method of guiding Zhenqi, but could only sigh with emotion when running and lifting heavy loads, “It’s good to have internal force!” Because her in
At this time, Mammy Tang, who was waiting for the gharry at the roadside, lamely ran and caught Madam Luo for condolences. Just now, Mammy Tang was blocked by the crowd and didn’t see the details of the accident. She only saw Madam Luo throwing herself on Third Miss’s “corpse” with crying, so Madam Luo vividly described the most dangerous scene for her.At the other side, Feng Yang couldn’t get an answer from He Danggui, so he changed a topic and grinned, “I’m so sorry that I almost killed you today, but you are really lucky. Sis, maybe you don’t know that once a horse is running fleetingly, its four hooves will alternate between ‘up’ and ‘down’.” He took down the fan from his chest, and gesticulated with it. He said, “When the horse is up, it is like flying in mid-air. When it reaches the highest point, its hooves have no strength in the air. Even if it is stepping on a swallow, the swallow will not be damaged after the stepping, but could fly away with its wings open!
“Ta-da, ta-da, ta-da...”Ren Dongteng and Gui Banjiao came here in a gharry, which was smaller than that of Madam Luo. Chan Yi and Huai Hua jumped out of the gharry first to help Madam Luo and others to get over this rough situation. Because they could tell from the situation that He Danggui was in a daze, Childe Feng was wearing a bitter smile with his folding fan hanging with strings of copper cash, and Madam Luo and others were not surprised, but frightened for so many passers-by giving them so much money just now.Miss Ji handed out all the money, then jogged back from the street with her empty purse. When she saw this, she quickly took down several strings of 1,000 qian, which were hanging upon Madam Luo’s body. The strings of money were too much and too messy, so Miss Ji put them into the empty purse. Then, she took down the money from He Danggui, Mammy Tang, Feng Yang and Guan Bai in order, and put them into her purse, too. Therefore, the purse was f
