Mountains and Seas

Chapter 154: Cuiwei Pavilion

Views:

The Classic of Mountains and Seas is the basis for Zhu Li's promise to cure Madam Dou.

As soon as those spots of light penetrated into Mrs. Dou's body, her skin immediately changed, just like a peeled longan, becoming moist and smooth in an instant. The effect was almost immediate and quite magical.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Li thought to himself that as expected, the Shan Hai Jing in his mind was a triggering treasure. It had to face various symptoms before it could be triggered. After many triggers, he already had an idea in his mind.

The abnormal situation, plus Zhu Li’s thoughts, will determine whether the Shan Hai Jing will be activated or not. This is his speculation.

The last time in Fuping, when Zhu Li saw those guards who were infected with the plague, he was anxious and at the same time, he desperately hoped that a miracle would happen so that the terrible plague could be eliminated without a trace.

The result came true, the Classic of Mountains and Seas was activated, and magical fruits appeared, curing the plague. After curing the plague many times, he came to this conclusion.

In order to verify his idea, Dou Yujun's wife happened to be ill. After a test, he found that it was true. It seemed that to some extent, he had initially mastered the use of Shan Hai Jing.

But this magical scene, in the eyes of Dou Yujun who was accompanying on the side, gave him an immeasurable shock. His eyes were wide open, and the look he gave to Zhu Li was not like he was looking at a superior, but as if he was worshipping a god. The pious and worshipful look in his eyes made him treat Zhu Li as a god.

"Plop"

Madam Dou recovered, but Dou Yujun knelt down on his knees, still muttering, "God, please show your power, God, please show your power, Lord, no, God, thank you for saving my wife, thank you."

Dou Yujun was expressing his gratitude incoherently, and was about to kowtow to Zhu Li to express his gratitude. How could Zhu Li allow him to kowtow to him? He quickly stepped forward and pulled Dou Yujun up, saying calmly, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Dou. It's just a little trick. I am honored to be able to help you. By the way, please don't spread the word."

"Yes, yes, I will. No, I am terrified. As long as the governor gives my orders, I will do it even if I die." Dou Yujun responded hurriedly. Even Mrs. Dou, who had just been cured, looked at Zhu Li in panic and worship, with an appearance of being submissive.

Sometimes it’s not that Zhu Li doesn’t want to use the Classic of Mountains and Seas to help people, but every time he does, it causes a huge sensation. Like last time, it was after seeing this scene that Meng Juehai instantly became his loyal supporter, and his level of loyalty seemed a little excessive.

This is why when he heard that Zhu Li and Li Keyong were killed and their lives were unknown, he was so furious that he directly tortured and killed Li Guochang, which directly led to the confrontation between Zhu Li and Li Keyong that would not end until one day.

And now, looking at the appearance of Dou Yujun and his wife, they are probably not much worse than Meng Juehai. However, Zhu Li has no time to pay attention to these. He originally intended to subdue Dou Yujun and use him for Shuozhou. If he is willing to be loyal, wouldn't it be better

In terms of education, Dou Yujun was a very successful father. All of his five sons became officials. From then on, the Chinese nation had the story of five sons passing the imperial examinations.

Thinking of this, Zhu Li said, "Sir, just don't talk nonsense. Speaking of which, I do have an unwelcome request. I would like to invite you and your family to move to Shuozhou. You can serve as the doctor of the Five Classics of Shuozhou and be in charge of education. What do you think?"

Dou Yujun and Madam Dou looked at each other and nodded immediately, saying hurriedly, "Your Excellency

I will follow your orders and when I return, I will arrange to move my family to Shanyang."

Shanyang has been developing very well in the past three or four years.

Not only has the entire Shanyang City expanded a lot, but many shops have also been opened in the city, selling all kinds of things.

Cuiwei Pavilion was opened in recent years.

What does Cuiwei Pavilion do? It is a place that specializes in selling women's underwear. People's living conditions have improved a lot, which has also led to an increase in consumption. The store is full of beautiful and lively ladies. Although most of them are shy, they still carefully choose underwear for themselves.

Wang Yueyao was not unfamiliar with Cuiwei Pavilion. Not only did she know that Cuiwei Pavilion was a place for selling small clothes, she also knew that this place could be used for other things, such as hiring assassins, purchasing intelligence, etc.

Some time ago, Zi Yan from Cuiwei Pavilion was hired by her to investigate Zhu Li's movements. Today, she visited Cuiwei Pavilion again, apparently for a guy who disappeared as soon as he came back.

Wang Yueyao's arrival immediately made all the flowers in the store pale in comparison. A maid in the store who knew Wang Yueyao well hurried to greet her when she saw this stunningly beautiful woman coming in.

This person is not only a pitiful beauty with a stunning appearance, but also a rare big money sponsor of Cuiwei Pavilion.

"Madam, are you looking for Sister Zi Yan?" the maid asked attentively.

Wang Yueyao was about to nod, but suddenly she shook her head and said, "I want to find your shopkeeper, the fisherman lady."

The maid looked at Wang Yueyao in confusion, but did not dare to neglect her. She quickly led this incredibly beautiful woman towards the inner courtyard of Cuiwei Pavilion.

Walking out of the hall of Cuiwei Pavilion, you will enter a courtyard. The female manager of Cuiwei Pavilion usually stays here.

The courtyard is not big, but very elegant.

Bamboo buildings are nestled against green willows, and the pond is clear and winding;

The small garden is swaying with bright purple, and butterflies are dancing in the wind.

It is indeed a perfect place to escape from the world and stay here, even your heart will become lazy.

Through the open window of the bamboo building, you can see the person inside. She is a pretty and quiet lady who is working hard on the farm and weaving cloth.

The maid who received Wang Yueyao signaled Wang Yueyao to wait a moment as she needed to ask for instructions first.

Wang Yueyao naturally had no objection. Standing gracefully on the path and using the scenery to relieve her sorrow is also a state of mind and an artistic conception.

Not long after, the young lady came back and signaled Wang Yueyao that she could enter the bamboo building. Only then did Wang Yueyao step towards the bamboo building.

Only after going up to the bamboo building could one hear the subtle "creak, creak..." sound of the loom. Wang Yueyao raised her head and looked at the female manager of Cuiwei Pavilion.

The woman looked to be in her thirties at first glance, but upon closer inspection, she seemed to be in her twenties. She always gave people a hazy feeling, as if one could not tell her real age. However, she was pretty, dressed simply, and gave people a feeling of being indifferent and detached from the world.

When Wang Yueyao arrived, the lady named Shiyu stopped what she was doing, looked up at Wang Yueyao, and suddenly said, "There are few friends in this poor alley, and Ruan Lang can only stay in my dreams?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yueyao's pretty face immediately turned red. For some reason, this fisherman girl spoke out her feelings at the moment.

It has been said since ancient times that poetry is used to express emotions and songs are used to express aspirations. The meaning of these two lines of poetry is exactly about missing one's lover. No wonder Wang Yueyao's pretty face turned red in an instant.

If there was a man here, seeing her shy look, it is possible that even his ambition would melt away.

After a while, Wang Yueyao finally calmed down her shyness and said softly, "Madam Shiyu, I came here this time to ask for your help to continue to send people to follow the envoy. In addition, there is another person who also needs your help to send people to keep an eye on her. Her name is Yuchi Jin, and she is now in Hedong."

"Hmm." Wang Yueyao asked her to help keep an eye on Zhu Li, which she understood. However, she was puzzled that someone was also sent to keep an eye on Yuchi Jin. She asked suspiciously, "Yuchi Jin, the legendary future lady of Shuozhou, why would you spend money to find out about a young lady?"

In fact, when hiring someone to gather information, one should not ask the employer why he is doing something. It’s just that Wang Yueyao is very familiar with the shopkeeper Shiyu. What’s more, Shiyu’s intention is to persuade Wang Yueyao not to waste money.

Wang Yueyao looked a little uncomfortable after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The envoy treats this person very differently. Even though she has saved the envoy's enemy and fled to Hedong, the envoy is probably still thinking about her."

"Well, since she has saved the envoy's enemy, there should be no possibility for her to be with your envoy. Why are you still worried?" Shi Yu was puzzled. Maybe this woman had never been in love and didn't understand that people in love always have the mentality of worrying about gains and losses, so she asked this question.

"Logically speaking, what Madam Shiyu said is not wrong, but I can never let my mind go. I always feel that her threat seems to be there all the time, and I just can't calm down." Wang Yueyao frowned and said worriedly with a bitter face that could break one's heart.

Shi Yu felt her heart melt when she saw Wang Yueyao's appearance. Although she was a woman, she couldn't help but be fascinated by the girl in front of her.

The woman in front of her seemed to remind her of another woman of extraordinary talent and genius. Unfortunately, that person ended up in a miserable state. She hoped that this girl would not follow in her footsteps.

The fairy was originally from heaven, but was banished to the mortal world. If Zhu Li had not existed, how could such a beauty be so miserable? All men in the world are unfaithful, so why would she fall in love with a stinky man? Shi Yu couldn't understand.

Thinking of this, Shiyu seemed to become more determined, as she had come here for the mission.

However, this was Wang Yueyao's request, and from a business perspective, she had no reason to refuse. In front of Wang Yueyao, Shi Yu immediately sent Zi Yan to investigate Zhu Li's whereabouts, and then assigned another female spy named Mu Yu to go to Hedong to help Wang Yueyao find out the news about Yuchi Jin.

After seeing Wang Yueyao off, Shi Yu seemed to have lost interest in farming and weaving. She gently pulled the bell on the wall on one side of the bamboo building, and a loud "Ding Ding Ding..." sound was heard. After a while, two female warriors in green clothes leaped over and appeared in the bamboo building.

As soon as the two arrived at the bamboo building, Shi Yu's eyes fell on one of the women. This woman had beautiful eyebrows and eyes, but there was a murderous look between her eyebrows, which completely destroyed her cute and beautiful image and made her look very sinister.

Shi Yu asked directly, "Zhu Si, I asked you to find out the news about the governor's mansion. How is your investigation going?"
