Chapter 15: Inviting the Dead

Wei Chi followed His Majesty Li Er to hunt. Xie Jiu was alone with two children at home, with Mrs. Liu and Li Er helping him. It was impossible to talk about it. After all, he had to take care of two children, but he was still in the range of dealing with it. Although Xie Jiu had a lot of things in his hands, the interpersonal exchanges that she was really bored had been solved by someone with an honest and honest smile on her face. What she really had to do with Xie Jiu was nothing but the planning of her own industry and the training and management of her subordinates. These were not a burden to her.

After traveling through ancient times, going to bed late became a torture choice. Going to bed early is undoubtedly the most wise choice. For Xie Jiu, going to bed early means getting up early, not that he doesn't want to sleep, but that he really can't sleep. He woke up almost at dawn, which made her envious of the good sleep of the two little guys in the family who were still sleeping soundly. He got up and took out a good sleep. He got up and took out a lot of exercise and had breakfast. In the empty restaurant, she was the only one sitting here, so he couldn't help but feel bored. He ate some casually and put it down, got up and went to the front hall. It was time to register the account again near the end of the year.

"So...whether is the turn today?" Xie Jiu walked slowly and asked Mr. Chen, the accountant beside him.

"Madam, it's the turn of the pharmaceutical factory today."

The factory site of the Chengdu Pharmaceutical Factory is not far from Zhuangzi. It was a few steps away. Xie Jiu said: "If you don't take a carriage today, I'll walk there. Please take care of the bill."

Chen Guanfang smiled and said, "I am more willing to walk."

The group walked towards the Cheng Pharmaceutical Factory. The way to the Cheng Pharmaceutical Factory was to pass through the village. People kept saying hello to them on the road, and Xie Jiu responded one by one. As he walked, he accidentally looked at the far left and saw a familiar figure. Xie Jiu paused, looked at the other few more, and whispered to Erhu who was following him: "How could he appear in our village?"

Erhu looked and said, "Madam is that guy. After knocking the girl away last time, he came a few more times. I followed the instructions of my wife and the master and drove him away. However, I heard that life was very miserable outside. A few days ago, his parents came to me and said that he had turned aside and was willing to live a peaceful life. I let him in. Madam, did I do something wrong?"

Erhu was full of anxiety. Xie Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, they are always a family, and it doesn't make sense for us to stop him. Let's talk about it."

Erhu responded. Xie Jiu looked over there again and said nothing. The group went to Cheng Pharmaceutical Factory. When he arrived at Cheng Pharmaceutical Factory, Xie Jiu checked the accounts as usual. Now the manager of Cheng Pharmaceutical Factory is Wei Wen. Wei Wen, who is getting older and has a lot of experience, is now truly able to stand alone and manage everything in the upper and lower levels. He has already obtained Xie Jiu's true teachings and has a good management style. He and Wei Che can be said to have been taught by Xie Jiu step by step, so he respects Xie Jiu very much.

The reconciliation matter, with the scale of the Wei Mansion, is only a few days' work. For Xie Jiu, she is not busy, and she even has time to meddle in other things.

"Madam, I've found out."

Mrs. Liu walked in and reported it. Xie Jiu looked up at her and signaled her to go down. Mrs. Liu said, "I have asked the merchants for inquiries. It is said that after the Qingniu came back, although it was not diligent and still unwilling to do any heavy work, he was willing to help feed livestock at home. He heard that he was also inquiring about the market selling poultry and eggs in our Weifu Village. He bought a lot of chickens and ducks and went back. He seemed to be planning to do a big fight. His parents told everyone that the Qingniu had grown a bright future and was willing to do serious business."

Xie Jiu pondered for a while before saying, "Let's talk about it later. Zhao is in the front yard, no one bullies her, right?"

Mrs. Liu smiled and said, "With the housekeeper taking care of her, she is the one who went out of the wife's room, who dares to bully her? Besides, our family has a lot of kindness and duty, and will not do anything to bully her companions."

Xie Jiu nodded and told Mrs. Liu some common things to do, and made the family matters. After finishing, Xie Jiu was in a state of having nothing to do except take care of the children.

Most of the men in the familiar families are not at home, and a group of elderly, weak, women and children are at home. When they are free, they take their children around, which is also one of the ways to pass the time. The autumn breeze is blowing, sitting by the water, playing poker, playing mahjong, playing checkers, etc. can also be as comfortable as the men running around the mountains and fields to hunt.

As the saying goes, three women play together. Even if Xie Jiu is a woman, he stands on a common standpoint, and he has no way to deny this sentence. At noon, the Qilin twins were tired of playing and fell asleep in the children's car. Xie Jiu sat aside, shook his eyes and looked around the ladies. He watched others behave as a female red, and then thought about his boredom. He couldn't help but feel bored. He thought in his heart whether he would learn to knitting a female red and make clothes for one or two big or two small ones. It seemed that they could wear the clothes she made by herself. It seemed that it was quite exciting. While he was thinking secretly, he suddenly heard...

"Have you heard of it? The rumor of the Western Regions divine master." The tone was quite excited, and the volume was slightly lowered. Xie Jiu looked up and saw that he started to gossip on the mahjong table. He pursed his lips and smiled faintly, lowered his head and said nothing, and decided to be a listener.

"Is it the Western Regions divine master who can curse people and live?"

"That's right. I heard that if he wants to curse someone and die, then he will die. If he wants to curse someone and live, then the person who is cursed will be absolutely nothing. It is spread to such a magical way, and I don't know whether it is true or false."

"It's true! After I heard that, I made a special trip to visit. The master cursed a ranger who offended him for an hour in front of us to show punishment. After an hour, he cursed the ranger alive again!"

"Is this really a thing?"

"What I saw with my own eyes, how could I lie to you!"

...

This topic obviously attracted everyone's attention. They all raised their ears and chattered. Only Xie Jiu was unmoved. His adopted mother asked: "Have you heard of Sisi?"

Xie Jiu said: "I have been quite busy recently and have never paid attention to the outside news. Is this divine master..."

The adopted mother said, "It is said that they came from the Western Regions and are good at spells. I heard that they can also use spells to cure diseases and save people. It is so powerful. The capital is now so amazing. I only say that the man is extremely powerful. I heard that many people in the mansions invite him to see a doctor."

The adopted mother told Xie Jiu all the news she heard. A few days ago, a magician named Mahadi came from the Western Regions. She claimed that she was good at spells and could dominate the life and death of others. She wanted to live and die. She was very evil. She personally demonstrated her reputation in front of everyone. Her reputation spread to Chang'an. Even women and children in the deep boudoir knew his name. There were countless people who asked him. It is said that some people were able to survive because of his spells and recovered from the serious illness.

Xie Jiu smiled, refused to comment, and did not want to take a look. He was ready to be a gossip after hearing it. After traveling to the Tang Dynasty, with the increasing prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, in recent years, more and more foreigners have entered Chang'an. Not only merchants gathered, but even foreign monks have come. With more people, there are all kinds of people, foreign doctors have come, and some people even come to the door to play the hall, preparing to use the power of the Wei Mansion to seek fame and fortune.

Xie Jiu did not let Wei Chi know about these things, but secretly dealt with them with more harmonious means. Xie Jiu was born into a great deal of people of this type and had great experience in dealing with people of this type. Basically, he was not yet Wei Chi, and was dealt with by Xie Jiu in his budding state. In Xie Jiu's opinion, this so-called divine master is just a cheating liar, not worth mentioning.

Xie Jiu listened to the discussions of the ladies and bowed his head without saying a word. At this time, Li Er walked in quickly and whispered to Xie Jiu: "Madam, Wu Liu from the restaurant is asking for a meeting and said there is something urgent."

How did Wu Liu find this here?!

Xie Jiu frowned slightly, nodded slightly, and said to his adopted mother beside him: "Educated mother, I'll go out and take a look."

The adopted mother helped take care of the child. Xie Jiu got up and went out. As soon as she left the garden, she saw Wu Liu walking back and forth at the door like an ant on a hot pan, with a worried look on her face. When she saw Xie Jiu, she seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly met her: "Madam."

"What's the matter?" Xie Jiu's expression was very cold, his tone was calm, but he was a little unhappy. No wonder Xie Jiu was unhappy. The relationship between the Wei Mansion and the restaurant was always not very good to the outside world. Wu Liu came to him now, which was indeed inappropriate.

Wu Liu looked ashamed and said, "If it weren't for the urgent matter, the young man would never dare to come here to ask for a wife. It's really too young to do anything."

The cause of the incident was related to that master. By the way, the dishes in the restaurant, the taste of the restaurant was passed down by Wei Chi's direct line, and it was not kept at all. It can be said that all the skills in the box were taught step by step to the chefs in the restaurant. It goes without saying that the business of the restaurant has doubled, and the store has not yet been able to meet the market demand.

When the business is good, the fame will naturally go up. The store that has been expanded twice cannot meet the needs. The elegant seat on the second floor has to be booked in advance before it can be taken. Fortunately, it has become the number one restaurant in Chang'an City, with a reputation. Many merchants from other places come for the reputation of the restaurant. In addition, Wei Chi vaguely revealed information, people who have a little idea know that this restaurant is backed by the Wei Mansion, and the land deeds used for opening a store are all from the Wei Mansion, and Wu Liu is just rented. With Wei Chi's name, no one dares to make trouble on weekdays. Wu Liu lived a small life, and counted the money every day and smiled and sighed to the right person. But there is a saying that there is an unexpected situation in the sky. It is impossible that it will be sunny every day, and occasionally it will be windy and rainy.

Wu Liu said with a bitter face: "Four days ago, the Western Regions master booked a elegant seat in the restaurant, and he also came on time at noon today..."

At noon today, Wu Liu sat at the counter at the entrance of the second floor of the Yakuza, as usual, to welcome guests who had booked the Yakuza. When they met someone they knew, they would greet them and make friends. They have been a restaurant shopkeeper for many years. Although they would be colorful again, when doing business, they pay attention to personal relationships. There is no harm in setting up more friendships.

"Shopkeeper, are you ready for the elegant seat that I ordered?"

Wu Liu quickly smiled and went up to him, saying, "Hello, the master, you are ready, please."

After leading the divine master Mahathir into the elegant seat, Wu Liu asked again: "Master, will you serve the food now?"

McHardi nodded and didn't say anything, feeling unfathomable. Wu Liu muttered in his heart, but he still smiled and stepped down to ask the waiter to serve the food.

After serving, just after a while, a thin old man with white hair and hair suddenly rushed up with someone. Regardless of Wu Liu's obstacle, he forced himself into McHati's elegant seat and shouted: "Are you McHati, the Western Region Monster who claims to be able to curse life and death?"

McHardi put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and saluted: "I am McHardi, and this old man is..."

The old man who called himself Fu Yi sneered and said, "I am Fu Yi, the Grand Historian of the dynasty. I heard that the divine master can curse life and death. I am old and weak, and I am always fond of things in the cup. I have always been plagued by illness. I also asked the divine master to perform great magic and put a mantra for Fu. Fu did not seek long life, but only wanted to live another ten years."

McHardi was stunned and said, "Mr. Fu, life span is a heavenly destiny and cannot be changed by human power. Although the spells are supernatural powers, they are useless for increasing life span. This is because the sufferings Mr. Fu suffered in this life are all the causes of the evil in his previous life, and they cannot be changed by human power."

Fu Yi smiled coldly and said, "Since the divine master said that his life span cannot be changed, it is the destiny of heaven. Then ask the divine master to curse Fu Yi, and the curse of Fu will die immediately! The divine master said that he cannot curse immortality, so it should be possible to curse death? I have heard that the divine master's curse is a miracle these days."

McHadi was stunned and said, "Mr. Fu, you have never met me. I have no grudges and no great evil in my past and present life. Why did I curse you to die? I am a practitioner. If I curse you to die, wouldn't it be a loss of virtue and hinder my practice?"

Although Fu Yi is old, his temper is not less popular when he was young, and he said, "What kind of virtue is that you have! What kind of virtue can you say? You are a demon monk? You have entered a monk and ignore the safety of your family and country, which is for disloyalty; you do not serve your parents, which is for unfilial; pretending to be a god and ghost, which is for inbearance; you betray friends and brothers in order to become a monk, which is for injustice. I have always been upright, and I am sure that my family and country are worthy of my teachers, elders, brothers and friends, and I am righteous. Why do you, a person who is unfaithful, filial, unkind, unkind, unkind, unrighteous, curse me to die?"

Mahathir was scolded by Fu Yi, and his face was pale, gritted his teeth, and held back his anger, saying, "This is a bad thing for me. I am a monk who uttered a curse. This is the cause of my practice in this life and the result of the next life. Those who become monks have long been homeless, have no parents, brothers, relatives and friends. How can they say that they are unfaithful, filial, unkind, unkind, and unrighteous?"

Fu Yi was no longer angry at this moment, looked at McHadi and said, "Since the divine master said that, please prove it to me! I curse me to death, otherwise, I will be the emperor and capture you for being cheated and killed by a murderer!"
