good season

Chapter 39 There is a ghost
In less than three days, the news that Princess Jiayi was pregnant spread throughout the capital.

First, the palace, royal family, and dukes' and marquises' houses received the news, and then the ladies and wives in the gentry circle began to discuss the matter privately.

Princess Jiayi is of noble status, and since it has not been officially announced, it is just a rumor. Therefore, even if everyone unanimously believes that this is true, they only talk about it in private.

But ordinary people don't have so many taboos and just treat it as a topic of conversation after dinner.

Some people say that the retired emperor must have made some progress in his cultivation. What do you think?

You can even talk to the Goddess of Fertility, isn't this progress?
Some people also said that it had nothing to do with the Goddess of Fertility. It was clearly the retired emperor who got guidance from the Jade Emperor and made the elixir. The elixir was precious and of course it could not be given to outsiders. The retired emperor loved his daughter and let the princess take the elixir. He did not expect that the elixir was so effective and it cured Princess Jiayi's infertility that had lasted for many years.

Most people scoff at these two statements. The talk of a goddess of fertility or an elixir of life is all nonsense.

there is only one truth!
That means Young Master Xiao has been reincarnated!

Young Master Xiao died young. He couldn't bear to leave his biological parents, so he prayed to the King of Hell to reincarnate him into the eldest princess's belly.

That’s right, the baby the eldest princess is pregnant with is Young Master Xiao!
Was it the Goddess of Fertility who was giving face to the retired emperor, or was it the retired emperor's elixir that worked, or was it Xiao Zhen's reincarnation? Everyone took sides, and people were arguing about this everywhere, in taverns and teahouses.

The instigator, Prince Consort Xiao, hid in the dark and smiled meaningfully. You would never have dreamed that my eldest son is alive and well, and I am about to have a second child.

The eldest princess and Prince Consort Xiao agreed on this child; they both hoped it would be a little girl.

The eldest princess and Prince Consort Xiao have been looking forward to seeing this plump, soft and tender little girl for many years.

Even in this situation, the couple hid in bed and gave their little girl more than a dozen names. Yes, more than a dozen, all of which are suitable names for girls.

Prince Consort Xiao's method worked amazingly quickly. Those who had been feeling sorry for the eldest princess losing her son a few days ago, have now devoted all their heart and soul to the unborn baby in the eldest princess's belly.

The transition is extremely smooth.

With Xiao Zhen's funeral, his death was put behind us.

There was an inconspicuous tea shop in the capital. The owner's surname was Su, so the tea shop was called Su's Tea Shop.

Speaking of Boss Su, he also has a nickname called Su Big Head.

He got this nickname not because he had a big head, of course his head was indeed big, but the name came from the fact that he was a sucker.

After Boss Su's first wife died, she left no children. A few years ago, Boss Su met a beautiful widow. Boss Su fell in love with the widow at first sight, but the young widow refused to marry him. There was one reason for this: people in her hometown were gossipy, and if a widow married again, people would gossip about her.

Later, the young widow suggested to Boss Su that they should sell the shop in their hometown and move to the capital. In the capital, no one would know them, and no one would know that she was marrying for the second time.

Boss Su had no objection. He gave a sum of money to the young widow's in-laws, allowing her to regain her freedom. He also sold the house and shop in his hometown, and the two of them came to the capital.

When she first arrived in the capital, she was completely in the dark. Fortunately, the young widow had a cousin who worked as a dentist in the capital.

It's easier to get things done if you have acquaintances, so my cousin took them to visit several shops and finally they chose this tea shop.

The cousin told Boss Su that the landlord of the teahouse was an official appointed by the imperial court and was not convenient for him to show up in public. Now he was being transferred out of Beijing. The cousin had helped the landlord buy and sell two properties before, and the landlord trusted him very much, so he entrusted the teahouse to him for full management.

As for why it is closed now, of course it is because the landlord has lost interest in running the business and has laid off all the shopkeeper and the employees.

Boss Su did not suspect anything and bought the tea shop at a high price. However, a few days later, the young widow and her cousin were both missing. When Boss Su inquired about the whereabouts, he was so scared that he almost went to see his grandmother.

It turned out that a murder had occurred in this tea shop. The lover of the lady boss was unable to get the love he wanted, and out of love he turned to hatred, so he put poison in the water, killing the lady boss's family of four, as well as five employees. The tea shop was closed down at the time, but later the case was solved, and the tea shop was returned to the owner's brother.

The brothers didn't dare to go in, let alone run the business, so they simply sold it to You Baopi, a man in Beijing who specialized in haunted houses, at a very low price.

Boss Su reported the matter to the government, and the government found You Pa Pi. You Pa Pi admitted that someone was the middleman in this business. This tea shop was too aggressive, and You Pa Pi was worried about losing money, so when someone wanted to buy it, he sold it at a low price. In other words, 60% of the money that Boss Su used to buy the tea shop went into his cousin's pocket.

As a result, the tea shop where nine people died fell into the hands of Boss Su.

Later, Boss Su found out that the young widow had been having an affair with his cousin a long time ago, but her in-laws refused to let her go, and his cousin couldn't afford so much money, so he turned to Boss Su to be the one to take advantage of her.

Boss Su lost both his money and his life, and now he was left guarding a dilapidated building. He couldn't sell a pound of tea in a month, and he drank to drown his sorrows every day.

But just a few days ago, Liu Erniang, who sold wine, suddenly found that Boss Su no longer came to buy wine.

"That Su Datou, could he have drunk himself to death? Didn't you hear that the King of Liang died from drinking too much? Su Datou might have drunk himself to death as well."

"If Su Datou also died, then ten people would have died in the tea shop."

"Don't you know how to count? The murderer has been executed. Not counting Su Datou, there are already ten people."

"The murderer died at the execution ground, so he can't be counted. With Su Datou, that's ten people."

Amid the debate among the crowd, Su Datou was already deader than dead.

Suddenly, Liu Erniang cried out, and pushed her husband, "You damned fool, you still have the heart to talk nonsense here, that Su Datou still owes us two taels of silver for wine, go and take some tea to pay off the debt, when the government officials come to collect the body and seal up the tea shop, our two taels of silver will be gone."

Liu Erniang had a loud voice, and when she yelled, half the street could hear her.

Zhang Xiaoer, who sold peanuts, Aunt Sun, who sold steamed buns, and Li Damazi, who sold sesame cakes, all put down their businesses and followed Liu Laoer to Su Ji to grab tea.

Su Datou also owes them money.

Seeing that everyone was going to collect debts together, and hearing that Su Datou had died, a large group of people ran to the outside of Su's Tea Shop to watch the excitement.

"Look, it's already this hour and the door isn't open yet, so he must be dead."

"You're such a fool. You still don't believe it. Liu Erniang said that Su Datou died from drinking too much."

The door is not open. What should I do?
Kick the door?

Liu Laoer used all his strength and kicked without saying a word.

But as soon as he raised his legs, he stopped.

With a creak, the door of Su's Tea Shop opened.

A disheveled head popped out: "Good morning, neighbors!"

Liu Laoer's legs were still raised in the air. When he saw the head, he was startled at first, and then he stepped back. He didn't have time to retract his hanging leg, and he sat down on the ground.

"Ghost! There is a ghost!"
