Ling Chu looked like he had eyes on the back of his head. He suddenly turned his head and gave the second lady a mocking smile.
The second lady was frightened by this smile, and her heart was shaken.
A thought suddenly came to mind. Could it be that this disaster star was behind her being unable to speak?
Ling Chu's face changed with fright when he saw her, and then he looked away.
But she did not lift the silence spell on the second lady. Instead, she planned to make her mute for a period of time to prevent him from jumping in front of her every few days.
The Ling Mansion's ancestral hall was an independent house. Although the fire was large, it did not spread to other places. The fire, which had been burning for so long, was extinguished, leaving only ruins at the scene.
Ling Zong was about to take the second master and the third master to clean up, but he was stopped by Ling Chu.
"Dad, here are two hundred taels of silver notes. You can use them to build the ancestral hall." Ling Chu took out two silver notes from his sleeves and handed them over.
Ling Zong was stunned. He didn't expect that his eldest daughter would be willing to spend money to build an ancestral hall for him after being insulted by the second lady.
He was worried about the money to build the ancestral temple. Although he felt guilty, he hesitated for a while and took the banknote.
"Sister Chu, you also know the situation in the house. My father will use this bank note first. I will return it to you when I make money."
Ling Chu waved his hand, "No need. Although the fire in the ancestral hall was not caused by me, as a descendant of the Ling family, it is considered appropriate to contribute a share of the money."
This is just one of the reasons. The most important thing is that she contributed money to build the ancestral hall. The ancestors of the Ling family have enjoyed her efforts and will definitely return some merit to her, which is also good for her health.
Mrs. Tai also didn't expect that Ling Chu would pay for the construction of the ancestral hall regardless of the past grievances. I couldn't help but regret that this granddaughter acted generously. It would be great if she didn't have the fate of punishing her six relatives.
Ling Chu turned a blind eye to the complicated and unspeakable look in Mrs. Tai's eyes, and she had no interest in paying attention to what she was thinking. After giving the banknote to Ling Zong, he took Xia Zhi back to his yard.
The injuries on her body were not healed yet, and she was even more exhausted after all the hard work. After returning to the yard, she asked Xia Zhi to cook a medicine for her to drink, and immediately lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
…
After being raised in the house for a few days, my health finally felt better.
On this day, Ling Chu took Xia Zhi to Yu Street again. Not long after setting up the stall at the original location, an aunt carrying a basket came over with a smile on her face.
"Xiangu, I finally found you."
Ling Chu looked up and saw the person coming, and smiled, "Auntie, I haven't seen you for a few days, and your complexion looks much better. It seems that you have been having a good time recently."
Because this aunt often had minor accidents, she came to her for fortune telling a few days ago.
"Xiangu, your hexagrams are really clever. That day you calculated that I would be in danger of a bloody disaster, and told me to be careful to avoid high places. To tell you the truth, I didn't quite believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to happen the next day. It works.”
The aunt was so excited that her voice became louder without realizing it, attracting many people to gather around Ling Chu's stall.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, could it be that you really encountered some kind of bloody disaster?"
"No, I finished my fortune-telling that day, and the next day after I returned, I was picking vegetables in the yard. I was busy for a while, and was about to go to the kitchen to drink some water. Unexpectedly, before I could reach the door, I felt like I was being held in my arms. The fire scalded it.
I quickly stopped to check and found that one corner of the peace charm I bought from the fairy had turned black. I was wondering when a tile suddenly fell from the roof.
If I hadn't happened to stop and check, the tiles would have smashed my head and caused bleeding. "
The aunt is still a little scared when she thinks about it now. She is so old, and it would be uncomfortable if she was hit by a tile.
"Xiangu, thanks to you, I have always had accidents in the past month, but since I wore your peace charm, nothing has happened to me."
The aunt said, and handed over the basket in her hand with a grateful expression, "Fairy girl, if you hadn't helped me avoid these bloody disasters, aunt would have suffered. These are the eggs laid by my old hen. They are my thanks to you." present."
Ling Chu smiled and stretched out his hand to block the situation, "You're welcome, ma'am. You gave me gold for your fortune telling, and you also gave me money for the peace talisman. There's no need to give any more gifts of thanks."
The aunt was sincerely grateful and insisted on giving the egg to her despite Ling Chu's refusal.
Ling Chu had no choice but to accept it in the end, but as a return gift, she gave her aunt a peace charm.
The aunt happily accepted it and gave Ling Chu another twenty pennies, but Ling Chu only took her a symbolic penny.
The aunt took the peace charm and left. A woman who was watching left and sat down on Mazha in front of Ling Chu.
"Xiangu, help me tell my fortune."
Ling Chu raised his eyes and glanced at the other party, then asked quietly, "What do you want to do?"
"Xiangu, my family built a new kitchen at the beginning of the year, but I don't know what happened. Since the kitchen was built, something has happened almost every month. Please help me figure out what happened."
Ling Chu made a prediction based on the location of the woman's house and kitchen, combined with her birth date and horoscope.
"Does your kitchen often leak water?"
"Yes, yes, that's right." The woman was a little doubtful when she heard the aunt said that the fairy had good fortune telling skills, but she didn't expect the Taoist nun to figure it out all of a sudden.
The woman couldn't wait to ask, "Xian Gu has figured it out. What's wrong with my family?"
"Your kitchen is built in the northwest, which conflicts with the direction of the hut, creating an evil atmosphere. This is why your kitchen often leaks water."
"I see, is there any way to deal with it?"
"Yes. If you don't want to demolish the kitchen and latrine and rebuild it, you can seal the door of your kitchen and open a new door on the west side. Then build a wall half a foot in front of the latrine to close the latrine. Block the door and this will dispel the evil spirit."
The woman frowned, "Really?"
Ling Chu nodded, "You can try to see if it's true. If you change it according to my words and something goes wrong, you can smash my stall."
"Okay, then I'll go back and give it a try." The woman took out the letter and put the twenty coins on the small table, turned around and wanted to leave.
But he was stopped by Ling Chu, "Wait a minute, the hexagram gold is one hundred coins."
The woman immediately frowned and said, "What, a hundred coins? What's the difference between you, a Taoist nun, and robbing money!"
"My price is fair to children." Ling Chu frowned, but still warned in a gentle voice, "Your kitchen must be renovated as soon as possible, otherwise water leaks will occur frequently. If it takes a long time, big trouble will happen."
"Hmph, how could something big happen? I'm afraid you want to ask for more gold for fortune telling and deliberately made it up to scare me. The Taoist priest in Chongxuguan only charges 20 gold for fortune telling. You can't ask for extravagant prices. Just 20 gold, that's a lot. No."
The woman dropped these words and hurriedly turned around and left.
Ling Chu was not annoyed and put the twenty coins into a jar on the side.
This woman wants to take advantage, but sometimes she regrets it.
