Chapter 289: Eighty-Year-Old Woman Seeking a Child with Heavy Gold

Bai Zhaocai is toasting Sister Liu.

When his wife intended to go to Huangping Township to worship at the temple, Sister Liu once warned him, saying that the nun at the Son-Sending Temple was not a good person, and none of the pregnant women who went to Huangping Township to pray for peace could give birth safely!

Bai Zhaocai was the most willing to listen to advice. He listened to the words of the old master of the Bai family, and Sister Liu was a famous midwife in the ten miles and eight villages. Since the midwife said so, he certainly had to take it to heart.

Later, the Hundred-Infant Pagoda in Huangping Township was pushed down, and the filthy things in the temple were all poked out and placed on the table. Only then did everyone realize that the temple was an evil temple, and the nuns inside were the famous brothel of that year, the fake monks and Daoists in the Apricot Nunnery!

Bai Zhaocai kept this kindness in his heart. Later, when his children were born, he invited Midwife Liu several times.

During festivals, he would also have people bring some gifts to visit Sister Liu, who lived alone all year round.

It's just that I don't know why, in the last few years, I haven't seen Sister Liu's figure, as if she had evaporated from the world.

Hearing Bai Zhaocai's concerned inquiry, Sister Liu smiled and said, "In these years, I have been practicing medicine and saving the world with my grandmother, decocting medicine and applying needles, and passing on the 'Scripture of Good Deeds and Retribution' to the world. This has been several years..."

Xu Qing had sharp ears and heard the conversation from afar.

Practicing medicine and saving the world and preaching and saving people?

Xu Qing was not surprised that Sister Liu could do these things, but could the old woman who pitted Xuanyu have this kind heart?

Even if Xu Qing were beaten to death, he wouldn't believe it!

Here, the old woman who was drinking tea suddenly noticed something. She looked sideways and saw a white-faced young man staring at her expressionlessly... picking his nose.

The origin of this old woman was unknown, and it was hard to say whether she was a human or a demon. Even if Xu Qing opened his Heavenly Eye Yin Pupil, he could only see black and white energy flowing.

When the old woman noticed the abnormality and looked sideways, the ink color in Xu Qing's eyes faded like a tide.

What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a handsome young man?

Xu Qing glared at the old woman, and at the same time, his little finger flicked lightly to the side. Although this behavior looked very rude, this vulgarity could just cover up his motive for spying on the other party.

Sister Liu also noticed Xu Qing at this time. She pulled the old woman and came to the front happily, smiling, "Grandmother, this is the little gentleman who gave me the childcare scripture..."

The old woman's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Xu Qing with burning eyes, but she couldn't see any abnormality.

The old woman didn't believe in evil, and black and white energy appeared in her eyes. At the same time, Xu Qing felt the Concealing Heaven Art on his body running wildly. All the complex heavenly secrets turned into blue sky and white clouds, and finally, those clouds and mists formed four big characters in the sky—

Plain and unremarkable.

"Old lady, you can't have ideas about a handsome young man like me. This is disrespecting the old and not moral!"

"..."

The old woman ignored Xu Qing's frivolous words and went straight to the point, "Young man, the old body wants to ask you about something. Who wrote that childcare manual, and who handed it to you?"

Xu Qing smiled lightly and said neither coldly nor hotly, "Is this how the old lady asks questions on weekdays?"

Sister Liu saw that the situation was not right and hurriedly mediated, "Grandmother is quick-spoken, her character has always been like this, actually it is a Bodhisattva heart. Mr. Xu is a scholar and values etiquette. I also understand, Grandmother, look..."

The old woman frowned, her expression stiff, "Scholar Xu, the old body is indeed a bit rude. Now the old body is sincerely asking for advice, please Scholar Xu give some pointers."

Xu Qing had a stomach full of things in his heart. He took a sip of tea and asked instead of answering, "The old lady wants to find the person who wrote the childcare manual behind the scenes, there must be a reason, right?"

"Why don't you tell me about it? If it is reasonable, it doesn't matter if I act as a middleman."

The old woman pondered, "This matter concerns heavenly secrets, it is a big matter, and it cannot be easily leaked. It needs to be seen in person before it can be told."

Xu Qing pondered for a moment and suddenly asked, "I handed the childcare manual to Sister Liu with my own hands. How did the old lady conclude that the manual was written by someone else, and not feel that the manual was written by me?"

"If not, the old lady can tell me the matter, it is the same."

The old woman drooped her eyelids, glanced at Xu Qing with slight contempt, and said, "The childcare scripture has many private matters of women, as well as prescriptions for childcare and midwifery. You are a man, how do you understand these?"

"Scholar, don't talk nonsense. The old body has endless benefits here. You just need to tell me the background of that person, and then the old body will repay you."

Benefits? Xu Qing thought of the past when Xuanyu was pitted out of a life, how could he believe the old woman's ghost talk!

"That's not a coincidence. I don't know this person. I picked up that childcare manual on the road. I don't understand this, so I just threw it to Sister Liu. She is a midwife, she must be able to understand it!"

Sister Liu knew that Xu Qing didn't want to tell the truth. When the childcare manual was in Xu Qing's hands, he talked about it in detail.

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Qing was a man, Sister Liu would even feel that he was an apprentice taught by the Mother of Protection herself!

"Forget it, the old body can't talk to you young man. But remember, we may meet again in the future. At that time... hehe."

The old woman smiled inexplicably, and then intended to turn and leave.

But when she turned and saw the dancing girls on the stage lifting their cheongsams, revealing their thighs and small cloth pieces, she couldn't help but frown.

"What kind of system is this!"

As soon as the old woman's words fell, Xu Qing's applause came from behind, "Dancing really well, men love to watch!"

Sister Liu saw that the two were not talking, and finally could only sigh, helplessly following the old woman away.

At the banquet, Boss Liu was so anxious that she grabbed Xu Qing's arm, "Let's go back! This banquet has nothing delicious to eat. I just learned a new opera recently. Wait until we go back and I will sing it to you."

How much strength does Boss Liu have? How can she pull Xu Qing, who is like an iron lump?

"Don't! Wait until you finish watching this scene, and then sing to me when you go back. This is so good!"

Boss Liu sat down helplessly. During this time, she couldn't help but glance at the stage. When she saw the dancing girls whose cheongsams were split to the roots of their thighs, Boss Liu's face turned red instantly, and she spat, "This dress is no different from not wearing it. I don't know which shameless tailor made it..."

Xu Qing had sharp ears. After hearing Liu Su'e mutter, he said, "It was made by Xiuniang."

Xiuniang?!

Liu Su'e's apricot eyes widened. This crazy girl is too...

Before Liu Su'e could think too much, Xu Qing continued, "This dress is called a cheongsam. I asked Xiuniang to make it. If Boss Liu wants it, I will ask Xiuniang to make a few sets specifically for you another day."

"Bah! I won't wear this!"

Liu Su'e's ears were hot. This cheongsam was almost split to the armpit. She didn't have such courage!

The funeral banquet started in the morning and lasted until the night.

During the night show, there was also a small episode. At that time, a dancing girl on the stage was too excited. Once she was on the head, she ran to the front of Squire Bai's memorial tablet and twisted her hips.

Everyone present had never seen such a vigorous program. Those old scholars, scholars, and some noble guests with faces, one by one said it was harmful to the style, but their eyes couldn't bear to leave for a moment.

Bai Zhaocai was happy in his heart. If it were in the past, who would be willing to stay at the funeral banquet for a long time? Without waiting for the night, the guests would have left.

But his funeral banquet today was different. These guests who originally intended to go through the motions and leave after mourning were first hooked by the delicious food on the banquet, then washed their ears with the big play of the funeral opera troupe, and the most critical thing was that there was such an eye-opening finale program behind.

A funeral banquet was eaten like a palace imperial banquet.

No, the palace imperial banquet is not even half as good!

Before the banquet was over, many people found Xu Qing and asked how much silver a funeral banquet for the anniversary would cost.

Among these people, there were many servants and followers, and there were also young masters, squires, and wealthy merchants who came to inquire.

"Shopkeeper Xu, my grandfather left early. He was very poor in his generation and never enjoyed happiness when he was alive. I really can't bear it in my heart. You see if you can set a funeral banquet for the old man according to today's scale..."

"May I ask how many anniversaries the old man has passed away?" ===== CHAPTER 290 =====
