After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

The two of them chatted on the way. Wang Douhua looked at Yuan Qi. He had a white and tender smiling face and tender hands. He did not look like a child from a poor family. Even though he was wearing a Taoist robe, he could not hide his temperament, so he asked curiously: "Which Taoist temple does the little Taoist priest have? Why do you want to make money at such a young age?"

Yuan Qi chuckled: "I am from Fuso Temple, and now I am still living in my own home, so I can earn some money to support my family. How long has it been since my sister came to Kyoto? Are you still used to living here?"

Wang Douhua is a simple person and answered Yuan Qi's question enthusiastically: "I have only been here for a short period of time, only half a year, but my husband has been here for more than two years. My husband said that since I came, the family has started to feel noisy." It went so well.”

Yuan Qi could tell that Wang Douhua was probably living a good life. She was wearing satin clothes, which were quite new, and there was no trace of vicissitudes of life on her face. Her husband was probably treating her well.

"What do you do for a living on weekdays?"

Wang Douhua pointed to a small facade in front of it. It was a wonton shop. There were not many customers at the entrance. Maybe it wasn't because of the meal. There were very few people eating.

She said: "My family used to open a wonton shop in the county. We made a little money and saved a little. My father passed on all the skills of making wontons to me. I plan to own that small shop and wait until I give birth." Just start it. You can earn more than ten taels or dozens of taels in a month. Taoist priest, to tell you the truth, the wontons I make are delicious. I use big bone soup to cook the wontons. If you don’t mind, I’ll cook them another day. I’ll make a few bowls for you to try.”

Yuan Qi didn't refuse: "Okay, I can tell by looking at you that you are good at your craftsmanship and are good at doing business. However, you won't make a big fortune, so you can be a little rich or a wealthy person."

Wang Douhua laughed happily. Not only could this little Taoist master speak, but she also had a pair of sharp eyes. It could be seen at a glance that she knew how to do business: "By the Taoist priest's auspicious words, I don't want to be rich and wealthy, but have enough food and clothing to live a normal life." Just be safe."

Wang Douhua was very talkative and talked a lot about the shop she and her father opened along the way: "Now my father and my brother are still opening a wonton shop in the county and making a little money. Even my husband, Shu Xiu, who is studying in Beijing, still has a wonton shop." My family paid for the exam. So my husband is very good to me and listens to me in everything. I heard that he passed the exam, so I asked my brother to send me to Kyoto. I will also be from Kyoto in the future. Well... Everything in Kyoto is good, but everything is expensive. A bowl of wontons in our county costs eight cents, but in Kyoto it costs twenty cents, and the rent of the shop is also expensive. Fortunately, people in Kyoto have money and are willing to spend it. ."

Yuan Qi listened carefully: "Yes, the rent of the shop is not cheap, but if the business starts, it should be more than your husband's salary."

Having said this, Wang Douhua's face showed a happy smile: "Probably, but my husband gave me all his salary for safekeeping and said that he would let me take care of the baby with peace of mind. We can wait until the baby is older to open the shop. I'm not busy. . But I can’t sit still and always want to open the shop as soon as possible so that our life can be easier.”

Yuan Qi could see that Wang Douhua was very satisfied with her husband, and her husband was also very kind to her.

"Is your husband's family very poor? Why did you pay for him to go to Beijing to take the exam?"

Wang Douhua put away the smile on his face: "Yes, he is a very unfortunate man. When he was young, his family had the best life in our county. His father was the county magistrate, and his grandfather was a famous person in our local area. A great scholar, he was very knowledgeable. Later, his father was accused of corruption. Before the case was investigated, his father and his mother hanged themselves. Later, the government raided the house, and his family plummeted, and he could no longer afford to eat. His grandfather also died of illness. He had no choice but to seek refuge with his uncle. Unfortunately, his family's life was not good and they could barely support him in studying for more than a year. Later, his aunt thought it was too expensive for him to study, so she ignored him and sent him to school. Kicked out."

Wang Douhua sighed: "My father thought he was pitiful and thought he was a good scholar, so he took him in and provided him with study. He also worked hard and passed the exam. Now he is working as an errand in the Hanlin Academy. I can count on it. Out."

Yuan Qi understood that Wang Douhua's husband also had a rough life.

"Then what's wrong with your family?" Yuan Qi followed Wang Douhua as he walked further and further into the countryside, and came to the depths of a small alley and a very ordinary small courtyard with four main rooms and two west wing rooms. The courtyard was clean. It was neat and tidy. There was a well in a corner of the yard where there was no sunlight, and sitting on the mouth of the well was a female water ghost who was always dripping wet. The female water ghost was about twenty years old, about the same age as Wang Douhua. She was wearing floral clothes and a begonia flower on her head. She looked at Yuan Qi with two black grape-like eyes.

"Can you see me?"

Yuan Qi nodded and glanced at the water ghost. The water ghost was very resentful and looked at Wang Douhua with vicious and resentful eyes.

A little water ghost crawled out of the well on its hands and feet and sat down next to the female water ghost. The little water ghost was just over a year old, with a very cute round face. There were two small hairpins on his head, with red hair. Tie with rope.

The female water ghost held the little water ghost in one hand, walked towards Yuan Qi, and asked with hostility: "Are you here to catch me?"

Yuan Qi discovered that she was not afraid of the sun, and neither was the little water ghost.

Two water ghosts, one big and one small, were writhing with murderous intent.

Wang Douhua entered the room, and Yuan Qi took two steps slower.

"She died not long ago, but she was quite powerful. If Wang Douhua hadn't been protected by a small statue of Buddha, you would have killed her, right?"

These two ghosts were a bit ungrateful. Yuan Qi waved his sleeves and a ray of spiritual power swept over them. The two ghosts' bodies suddenly started to smoke. They were so frightened that the two ghosts quickly retreated to the mouth of the well. How could they dare to follow her into the house to scare them? she?

When Yuan Qi entered the house, Wang Douhua immediately got busy boiling water for her. She also enthusiastically introduced: "I'm quite satisfied with this yard. It's quite spacious and enough to live in. There's also a well in the yard, so I don't have to go outside." Fetch water.”

Yuan Qi asked her calmly: "Have you been drinking water from the well?"

Wang Douhua frowned and said in confusion: "No, my husband came back from the Yamen and fetched water from the well at the entrance of the street. My husband said that he used to drink water from this well, but since I came here, this water The well dried up, so he went outside to fetch water. I told him to find someone to dig again, and maybe there would be water again, but he refused to let me go, saying that it was not going well recently, so he should do less construction work. "

After hearing what she said, Yuan Qi became less resistant to the water in front of him.

"Why do you think there is a ghost in your home?"

Wang Douhua's expression changed: "I found that when my husband was studying, the books around him would turn by themselves, sometimes the pen would write by itself, and sometimes the food on the table would fall for no reason."
