Chapter 21 The Woman in Red at Midnight

Merchants are good at calculating. When we get debt collection and are not well-off, we will fight for the same slightest as them.

I was a little unacceptable to the debts I had to repay with the three of us young people.

The old Taoist priest brought us here to pay back the debt, and the debt must be repaid, but the specific amount of repayment remains to be discussed.

After we discussed and decided in the yard, the old Taoist priest led us into the main hall. When the Ghost Emperor saw us back, he asked: "You have agreed to decide, who will repay it first?"

The old Taoist priest took a step forward and admitted: "As their leader, I have some doubts about the debt they have to repay. Since they can all come to pay the debt in person, can the creditor give them a discount?"

The Ghost Emperor showed a puzzled look, and the female ghost officer also showed an incredible expression.

The accountant immediately scolded: "The debt you owe to Your Highness must be paid back. The loan notes made by the borrower at the time were clearly written. Is it your highness to give you a discount? Is it your highness's magnanimity? It's your duty to repay it in full!"

The old Taoist priest hurriedly said: "We are not trying to pay back the debt, but ask His Highness the Ghost Emperor to give high priority to these young people and reduce the amount of debt they have paid."

The Ghost Emperor asked back: "Then how do you plan to repay the remaining debts?"

He pointed to the pony and asked, "You talk first!"

Xiao Ma Zhizhi, don’t know how to answer?

The old Taoist priest hurriedly said: "Your Highness, let's talk about the debt owed by the leader Xue Changsong first. How about one or two gold ounces a year for twenty years?"

After hearing this, the tentman couldn't help laughing out loud, but the Ghost Emperor glared at him, and quickly turned a black face and scolded: "Who do you think you are? You dare to bargain with Your Highness. Do you believe it or not to increase your interest!"

The old Taoist priest said, "But they are all in the most precious era of young and strong life. If they pay off their debts for His Highness, wouldn't it be too cruel?"

"Cruel?" The Ghost Emperor asked coldly: "How did your father promise when he borrowed money from me?"

The accountant added: "You are just using your lowly life and worthless time to exchange for the glory, wealth, and even the powerful and powerful generations of your descendants. But who is still not satisfied, and you still have to bargain with our Highness!"

I was also moved by what he said, and wanted to express my opinion, but the old Taoist priest stopped me with his eyes.

The old Taoist priest said loudly: "We have absolutely no intention of not paying back the debt, but I envy these young people and cannot bear to ruin their great years. I wonder if there is any other way to pay off their debts?"

The Ghost Emperor had already seen that this old Taoist priest was our leader, so he asked back: "What do you want?"

The old Taoist priest asked: "Your Highness, can we discuss it alone? These three young people all listen to me!"

The other party agreed and signaled the female ghost messenger to take us down and wait.

The woman in red reached out to us and invited me: "Three people follow me and wait for the good news!"

The old Taoist priest also signaled us to leave first and wait for the news. I followed the woman in red out of the hall, walked through the corridor, and came to the wing room. The house was ancient and the layout was simple but simple.

In front of a screen of "Lady's Picture", we sat on the ground, with a long mahogany table placed on it with white tea sets.

"Do the three visitors drink tea or wine?"

The woman in red has a soft and pleasant voice, with a hint of Jiangsu Jinling accent.

Xiaoma and Zhenmin are both sports cars for many years. They don’t drink much. I don’t like drinking, and I don’t want to show the bad habit of drinking in front of this beauty, so I unanimously expressed drinking tea.

The other party nodded and responded. He stretched out his hand and pushed the three bone porcelain tea cups in front of us. He took out a celadon big belly teapot like a magic trick. He used a copper spoon to take three spoons of tea in the mahogany tea pot and placed it in the teapot. After reaching out, he took a copper pot of hot soup and poured it into the pot.

The first brew was scattered with the ground, and the brown color was as red as blood.

The second thing is to pour it into a white tea cup, which is the best Yunnan black tea with a strong aroma.

I gently pinched the teacup and sent it to my lips to taste it slowly. I am not used to drinking tea, but I have seen the director and Dr. Min taste tea together, so I did the same.

Xiaoma picked up the teacup and drank it all, but it was so hot that it spit out again.

The woman in red frowned, and Brother Zhenmin signaled us to taste it slowly and not to hurry.

I said: "Drinking black tea in winter can warm the spleen and stomach, and can also beautify the skin."

The woman in red showed a questioning look and looked at me.

I continued to add: "Black tea also has the effect of nourishing blood and nourishing the heart, and can activate blood vessels, unblock tendons and veins, and refresh the spirit and promote fluid." This is what I learned in "Compendium of Materia Medica".

When we drank the black tea until the yellow tea and then turned from light yellow to colorless and tasteless, Xiaoma and Zhenmin couldn't help but want to go out and signaled to me, but I refused.

The two of them asked the woman in red to go out for convenience, and Xiaoma also asked where the cottage was?

The woman in red frowned and showed her contemptuous eyes, signaling them to go outside the wing room to solve the problem.

When the two of them left outside the room, I hurriedly invited the woman in red to sit down.

She knelt beside the long desk, facing me, and said, "You are different from them, what do you call a young master?"

The woman in red opened the lid of the teapot, poured out the tea residue inside, and removed the tea leaves again. She brewed it with hot soup and filled it with a cup for me again. This time she also filled it with a cup for herself, put it on her red lips and took a sip.

I replied: "My name is Yuan Chenghua, Xue Changsong's grandson. I wonder what the girl is called?"

"My original surname is Yang, and her name is Lu Ji, also known as Yu Niang. She is now a ghost servant of His Royal Highness Ghost Emperor, who is specializing in collecting debts." The woman in red said, "I know that the other party is not a human being, but I can't believe that this beautiful woman in front of me is not a kind of person.

I was very curious about this Green Girl, so I asked: "Why did Miss Yang act as a ghost servant under the Ghost Emperor?"

The other party didn't understand, so I explained: "You are a beautiful lady, why are you a ghost messenger?"

After hearing this, Lu Ji was shocked and immediately put down the teacup and sighed: "Since ancient times, the beauty was poor. I was originally from the Guanlong Yang family. Unfortunately, my family had a weak fortune and poor life. My parents were persecuted by force, and I was forced to rely on my enemies. I could not avenge my parents until my death. In order to exercise my skills, I became a ghost messenger."

Although what she said was half classical Chinese, I still understood it and sighed: "Miss, she has such a fate!"

The woman in red lowered her head and gently savored the cup of black tea.

I continued, "I don't know if I have heard of Nie Xiaoqian's experience!" As soon as I said that, I regretted that Nie Xiaoqian was from the Ming Dynasty, and this woman in red should be from the late Sui Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty. How could she know about the Ming Dynasty? Besides, Nie Xiaoqian herself is a fictional character.

However, what I wanted to express was not like that, so I continued to introduce: "Nie Xiaoqian was originally a child of an official family. She has a good family education since childhood. She herself is even more talented. Unfortunately, her family has fallen into trouble and she was also harmed by a traitor. She became a ghost and was still enslaved by the old tree demon. Later, thanks to the rescue of scholar Ning Caichen and the old Taoist Yan Chixia, she was able to reincarnate again."

I have elaborated on the story of "A Chinese Ghost Story". I watched this movie several times when I was in college and I am familiar with the plot.

Although I am now chatting and laughing at strange women, in college, when I saw a beautiful woman, I became stuttering when I saw a beautiful woman. If I were alone with the beautiful woman, I became mute.
