Chapter 1959 The Number One Scholar

"teahouse?"

Yulang thought that his senior sister was going to open a medical clinic. "Be it a teahouse or a teahouse, the capital is a mixed bag of good and bad people. If the medical skills are too high, it will easily be noticed by interested people and disturb people's peace."

Gradually approaching the capital.

The tall and mighty majestic city is awe-inspiring. The shadow of the huge city wall envelopes pedestrians, and it is like a ferocious beast that devours everyone who enters the capital, but it can never be filled.

The senior sisters and brothers took off their Taoist robes, put on regular clothes, and blended into the crowd.

The horses under their crotches attracted a lot of attention. After all, they were at the feet of the emperor, and there were no blind people looking for trouble.

After successfully entering the city, the two walked around the city, feeling the customs and customs at the feet of the emperor, and then went straight to Tao's house.

Living in the capital is not easy, but the Tao family is a wealthy and magnificent family.

Anyefang, where the Tao family is located, is known as one of the major upper city squares in the capital. Some of the residences of princes and nobles were also built here, which demonstrates the extraordinary achievements of the Tao family in business.

The two found the Tao family and introduced themselves.

The concierge had already received the explanation, and immediately informed the housekeeper, saying enthusiastically: "Are they Mr. Yulang and Miss Xiaowu? The eldest young master is not in the house, but there has been an explanation for the two of them to live in the eldest young master's courtyard."

Tao's house is very large, with a garden inside, and the scenery changes as you move around, isolating the hustle and bustle of the capital city, and providing tranquility amidst the hustle and bustle.

The housekeeper led them while enjoying the scenery.

"The eldest young master also gave special instructions that you two can come in and out of the Tao family's library at will and read any books. On weekdays, no one in the Tao family will disturb you," the housekeeper said.

Yulang secretly thought, Tao Qi really knows me.

The butler continued: "If you two need anything else, just give me your orders. The eldest master has your destiny, and the Tao Mansion will do its best to meet all your requests!"

Yu Lang glanced at Xiao Wu and said, "We want to buy a teahouse. Does the old man have any recommendations?"

"teahouse?"

The housekeeper was slightly stunned and pondered, "The Tao family's properties are mostly located in Guangwei, Anshan, Yankang and other areas. They can be converted into teahouses. I wonder what you two would like?"

From the eldest young master's attitude towards these two people, the housekeeper can guess that they are definitely ordinary people.

These two people definitely didn't open the teahouse to make money.

"The scale is not big, not small, there are not many but not many guests, no elegance is required, all three religions and nine streams can go there, but don't be too noisy, please invite two storytellers, live in peace..."

This was a request made by Xiaowu himself, and Yulang relayed it on his behalf.

"I understand, now I'm going to select a few of the most suitable properties, and then I'll ask you two to choose!"

The housekeeper acted vigorously and resolutely, and sent them to the Taoist Courtyard, where they settled down and immediately resigned. The next morning, he took a carriage out of the house and took them to check.

The housekeeper selected four properties, and Xiao Wu fell in love with the first one he saw.

It is extremely rare to see the lakes and mountains in the capital city.

There are several famous inner lakes in the city, one of which is called Yuyao Lake. As the name suggests, it looks like a beautiful woman’s jade waist, making people forget to leave.

The Tao family's property is a two-story wooden building on the bank of Yuyao Lake. Most of the foundation extends to the lake. There is a small courtyard next to it, with a great view.

On weekdays, there are many people visiting Yuyao Lake, so you don’t have to worry about the number of tourists.

The key is the location of Yuyao Lake. Xuanrenfang in the upper reaches is Shangchengfang where dignitaries live, and Chang'anfang in the lower reaches is where common people live. The wooden building is located in the middle and lower reaches of Yuyao Lake, which will not deter common people.

Yulang was also extremely satisfied, "This is not far from the Imperial College. It's a pity that I can't come here often to help my senior sister. In the future, when I become an official in the court, I might have to disguise myself to come here. The secret books that Brother Shi gave me are actually some disguises."

The technique is quite exquisite."

"This place is originally a chess hall. It can be renovated a little. I will order people to do it. It will be completed in three days."

The housekeeper knows the inside story. On the surface, this place is a chess hall, but in fact it is something else. It is a place used by the Tao Mansion to secretly entertain some distinguished guests.

However, since it was the eldest young master's order, the Tao family masters also acquiesced, no matter what was before, it must be changed.

"Wait a minute!"

Yulang stopped the housekeeper and took out a few ingots of gold, "Is this enough to buy this property?"

"This, I am acting according to the eldest master's order. I should have given it to you two..."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed.

"This is Tao Mansion's property," Yulang said.

The housekeeper immediately understood that the other party had a relationship with the eldest young master, but he was unwilling to owe the Tao family a favor.

How can you be an ordinary person who can easily take out a few ingots of gold?

Sometimes, favors are not so easy to sell.

That night.

The chess hall was empty, all the maids had moved out, and on the third day it was renovated and a new signboard was put up.

"It's better to call it a teahouse, but it's too elegant. Qingyang Teahouse, so weird! Haha... Senior sister, will master be angry if he knows about it?"

Yulang looked at the sign and almost laughed out loud. He turned around and found that his senior sister had walked behind the counter and entered the role.

From now on, she will be a female shopkeeper.

Storytellers, waiters, handymen, and even tea, charcoal fires, and snacks are all taken care of by the Tao family without them having to worry about it.

"Huh? When did this place become a teahouse?"

"I remember it used to be a chess hall. It was so mysterious that most people weren't allowed in."

"Let's go! Go and see..."

…

The teahouse with a new signboard soon attracted a group of customers. Seeing that the prices were quite fair, the storyteller was very hardworking, and there was a rare female shopkeeper, they found a seat to sit down.

One after another, it was almost full.

Xiaowu was a little unfamiliar at first when handling affairs, but he soon became more comfortable with it.

The plot of the story the storyteller is telling is not very exciting. The tea guests are sipping tea, talking about things, and listening carefully to a paragraph from time to time, leisurely and contentedly.

Yulang helped for a while and sat behind the counter. The sounds of the diners talking fell into his ears.

After listening with interest for a while, Yulang said: "Senior sister, I know why you want to open a teahouse. How did you come up with the idea?"

Xiao Wu said softly: "Many years ago, on a high-rise boat on the river, the master treated people, and the medical fees were their stories. I was listening to the stories. At that time, there were many stories, and I couldn't understand them."

"It's interesting, but after all it's someone else's story..."

Yulang hesitated, "Sister, don't you want to have your own story?"

"My own story?"

Xiao Wu stared at the tea customers in the shop.

"You can try to leave a story of your own in the mortal world. For example, start by focusing on being the shopkeeper of a teahouse," Yulang said.

Worldly sentiments, worldly sentiments.

Experience the world and understand human feelings.

After the sudden frame-up and betrayal, the senior sister did not stay away from the world, but she secretly closed off her emotions.

Yulang himself is still too ignorant to enlighten his mentor directly from the 'emotional' level. He can only advise his mentor to start with small things and change will occur naturally.

This visit to Beijing is an opportunity.

Xiao Wu said: "When I came down from the mountain, my master told me that I could try to practice self-cultivation and become a real ordinary person."

Yulang said excitedly: "Master said so too? Master's eyes are like a torch, there must be deep meaning. Senior sister, are you prepared to do this?"

Xiao Wu was silent for a moment and then said, "There are many immortal cultivators in the capital, so be careful behind you."

"The capital city is prosperous, so it is natural that there are immortal cultivators who are greedy for wealth. With the city god and the ghosts and gods sitting around, we can't make any trouble. I am living in the secular world and will not conflict with them. Senior sister, don't worry! Besides, before entering the city, I have already left behind

Secret message, Brother Shi will come to us if he sees it," Yulang said confidently.

Xiao Wu nodded, stretched out his right hand, and tapped his index finger between his eyebrows.

Vaguely, Yulang seemed to see a vast expanse of darkness, with a gorgeous crown in the darkness that flashed and disappeared. The change was so rapid that he suspected that he had an illusion.

Rubbing her eyes, the senior sister had returned to normal and was playing with the counter.

The appearance remains the same, but Yulang always feels that the senior sister has undergone inexplicable changes. She only retains the disguised form, and there is no trace of cultivation in the body.

Just then, an unusual guest walked in outside the door.

Yulang's expression was slightly condensed and he quickly stood up.

Xiaowu is still lowering her head, calculating the accounts carefully. It's not that she is arrogant, but that she, like everyone else in the teahouse, cannot see this person.

"But Hichi Yugami-sama?"

Yulang frowned. He could see that the person facing him was a ghost, but he couldn't see through the other person's cultivation level. He could only judge based on his clothing.

"Exactly!"

Riyou Shen glanced at Xiao Wu, confirmed that he was a mortal, and stopped paying attention. "On the day you entered the city, there should have been some secret agents who came to inform the city of taboos. When they saw you entering the Tao Mansion, they did not break in without permission."
