The world of cultivating immortals does not raise second-rate goods

Chapter 67 Snooping
Jiang Yuan and Shi Yan covered their faces with their hands.

Si Li also felt embarrassed and wanted to tell them about the process of giving birth to a baby from the mother's body, but then she thought about it and forget it.

If there is a misunderstanding about this kind of thing, just misunderstand it.

After all, the Heavenly Man Pill is an evil pill, so there is no need for them to know it in such detail.

But she still added.

"The Yin Zao Style is only an important part of it. After it is successful, it will be refined with other spiritual plants."

Jiang Yuan glanced at her and waved his hand weakly, telling her to stop talking.

He regretted it, he shouldn't have asked.

Why doesn't this girl avoid any taboos?

It's so shameful.

The three of them left Lishu Village and rushed to the capital of Bilu Kingdom.

Spring is warm, flowers are blooming, the sky is clear, and the capital is full of tourists.

Jiang Yuan wanted to go to the emperor, saying he wanted to say hello to his master. After all, it was the emperor who sent people to Taoism for help.

Si Li had no interest in meeting the emperor, so he waved his hand and told Jiang Yuan to go alone.

She found a restaurant near Lu Xia's house to eat. Jiang Yuan didn't force her and went into the palace alone, letting Shi Yan accompany her.

Lu Xia is the king of the Bilu Kingdom. His home is on the most prosperous street in the capital. The streets are full of shops with high signboards hanging. The clerks at the door nod and bend to attract customers.

The strong aroma of wine filled the street, and Shi Yan frowned.

Si asked strangely: "What's your expression?"

"The Taoist prohibition on alcohol makes me a little uncomfortable."

Si Li said: "When Jiang Yuan comes out of the palace, we will go to Lu Xia's house. There is so much excitement in Lu Xia's house, it must become the hottest topic in the capital.

The liveliest place has the most people talking. When we went in, we just happened to listen to what they were talking about. What if there were any small details? "

As she said this, she looked solemn: "Details determine success or failure."

"Ah."

Although Shi Yan didn't object, his face was filled with the words "You obviously like to watch the fun."

Si Li ignored him and walked straight into a restaurant. Before entering the store, the waiter nodded and bowed over, with a flattering smile on his face.

"How many guests are there please?"

"Two...three," Si Li said.

"Okay, please among the three."

Stepping into the restaurant, Si Li immediately frowned.

It was packed with people from all walks of life, and more than 20 tables were filled.

If Si Li wanted to eat, she could only share the table with others.

Seeing the scene of spittle flying around, she turned around and left.

But Shi Yan stopped her: "Girl, I have a way."

Si Li said depressedly: "I won't sit and eat with them, let's find another one."

Shi Yan smiled and said: "Since I said there is a way, there is a way. Give me a few taels of silver and I will get you a private seat."

Taking advantage of the situation to rob... Si Li said angrily: "Don't you take money with you when you go out?"

"Just a little bit. As you know, our school is very poor and stable."

Si Li blew her hair on her forehead. After all, she was the one who suggested coming here to eat. Going back on her words showed her indecisiveness, so she took out a gold leaf from the mustard bag and handed it to him.

Shi Yan took the gold leaf, said with emotion, "It's so rich," and headed towards the waiter.

She saw Shi Yan take out a small piece of broken silver and hand it to the waiter. The waiter immediately added a table by the window, so that he could enjoy the scenery outside without having to share a table with others.

After ordering, the waiter said "Here" and left.Si Li walked over and sat down, jokingly saying, "I thought you would give the gold leaves to the waiter, but I didn't expect you to still touch the next part."

Shi Yan smiled and said: "Young lady is a fairy in the sky and doesn't know the sufferings of the people. Let me tell you that adding a table to a restaurant in a bustling street in the capital only costs 1 tael of silver."

He paused and added: "This is after the price increase. If the situation is smooth, it would only cost 700 Wen at most."

As he spoke, he looked across the street.

Si Li followed her gaze and found that there was a grain store opposite, with a long queue at the door.

There is a wooden signboard at the door of the grain store, which reads: Today's rice price is seven cents per bucket of rice.

Si Li murmured: "It seems a bit expensive?"

"Yes, in a normal year it's five cents per dou of rice." Shi Yan sighed, "I don't know how many years the drought will last."

The main source of income for Taoists is to harvest the people's willpower. If the people live well, they will have more willpower. If their lives are not good, they will have less willpower. Therefore, they are very sensitive to people's livelihood.

Si Li remembered something, leaned forward slightly, and lowered his voice: "Is Jiang Yuan entering the palace?"

"Borrow grain to stabilize prices." Shi Yan's voice was deep and powerful, "The countries or towns covered by the Taoist Sect have at least three years of grain reserves."

Si Li remembered that Jiang Yuan had said that the king did not care about the life and death of Lu Xia's family.

Food prices are soaring, people's livelihood is difficult, and my cousin has made trouble for himself. No wonder the king is disgusted.

Just as he was thinking about it, the waiter served the food and wine.

Si Li straightened up and asked the waiter to serve the food. After serving, the waiter said, "Your Majesty, please use it with caution" and left.

She poured a glass of wine for herself and Shi Yan. After pouring it, she remembered that Taoism prohibited alcohol and looked up at him.

"Thank you." Shi Yan said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the noise from the tables around him.

"That princess is so pitiful. She was exposed during the concubine ceremony, tsk tsk..."

"What a pitiful person, she is not a good person. She committed murder and set fire while hiding in our place, and even her enemies came to visit her."

"I think the enemy did it on purpose and deliberately publicized it at the concubine ceremony. I have a brother who works as a guard in the palace and said that the princess's robe was embroidered by more than a dozen embroiderers for a year."

"The royal family is rich. The common people can't even afford rice. The princess is still thinking about her luxurious clothes."

"The royal family already has money."

"I heard that the emperor said that she was a concubine and the treasury was empty, so she told the prince to make it simple.

The prince discussed with the princess. The princess said that this was the most important ceremony in her life. How could there be any flaws? The royal family paid part of the money for the ceremony and the remaining part came from the palace. "

"How do you know such details? Were you at the scene?"

"I'm not here, but I have relatives working in the palace."

"Obviously the royal family wants to save face, so how can you say that the princess is extravagant? I think the princess is quite nice."

"The princess has committed murder and arson, and you still think she is a good person? I have an aunt from afar who serves the princess. A few years ago, the princess asked the prince to kill her concubine.

The prince later reacted and ignored the princess. The aunt proposed to go home and get married, but the princess refused.

The princess asked her aunt to talk to the prince's personal eunuch and ask the eunuch to help her say good things. If her aunt didn't agree, she threatened her aunt. "

"According to what you said, the princess can confuse so many people? Why not confuse the royal family to spend all the money to hold a unique concubine ceremony for her?
I think you think she is down and out, and you are deliberately throwing dirty water on people! "

"Why are you throwing dirty water? The princess is a monk, she can't just figure out what she wants to do, and you have to help her count the money after she sells you.

Nothing else. Her enemies said that she was good at refining elixirs, and the Taoist priests who refined elixirs were particularly good at curing diseases.

In such a big palace, there were more than a dozen concubines, but only her son survived, the others either couldn't give birth or gave birth to daughters! "

"There must be a ghost in here."

"Mad, I hate monks the most. They bully us mortals because of their high cultivation, but we can't resist..."

"I hate monks too."
