Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 62: The First Scene
Mrs. Du was crying happily when an aunt next to her suddenly spoke loudly.
"Oh! Isn't this Madam Du, the owner of Chunhe Tea House? She has never been married, so where can she find a husband?"
When everyone heard this, they might not have seen Madam Du, but who didn’t know about the haunted Chunhe Teahouse?
Some people immediately took a step back and couldn't help whispering.
"It's said that Chunhe Teahouse is haunted. Now I see it's true. Madam Du has gone crazy!"
"That's right, she must have been possessed by that female ghost, otherwise why would she be looking for her husband for no reason!"
There was a lot of discussion around, and some timid people were so scared that they stepped back, fearing that they would be affected by the bad luck.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Liu Yunqing immediately winked at a man dressed as a monk. The old man stroked his chest-length white beard, rushed into the crowd and shouted loudly.
"Where did the wronged ghost come from to haunt you? You are just reincarnated on the Naihe Bridge, why are you causing trouble here?"
Seeing this great monk coming, many Buddhists put their hands together and worshiped him repeatedly. After hearing his scolding, those who were originally skeptical now believed him completely.
Madam Du froze up, and quickly wiped away her tears and answered timidly, "I, I have a last wish that has not been fulfilled, so I cannot be reborn."
In order to dispel everyone's fear, the monk circled around Madam Du several times, pinched and calculated, and pointed out the identity of this female ghost.
"You are a hundred-year-old ghost who is quite honest. You don't have any sins on your body, but your obsession is too deep and you are unwilling to leave the world for a long time. Whatever, meeting is fate. Today, let me resolve your obsession and send you to the afterlife, so that you won't harm others anymore!"
Madam Du was filled with gratitude, kowtowed to the monk, and then told him her story.
It turns out that her name is Min'e, and she has been wandering the world for a hundred years. She is a person from the previous dynasty, and she wanders here just to find her husband who left for the imperial examination and never returned.
When the villagers saw that her husband had not returned for a long time, they all said that her husband must have passed the imperial examination and was noticed by some high-ranking official like the prime minister, so they captured him and made him their son-in-law. From then on, he rose to a high position and no longer cared about his wife and children.
Min'e almost cried her eyes out because of this. Unfortunately, she had a very miserable life and her only child died of an acute illness.
In this case, how could she continue to live? However, she did not believe that her husband, who had always been considerate to her, would abandon his wife and children, so she simply took her money and followed her husband's route to Chang'an for the exam.
After arriving in Chang'an and asking around, she found out that her husband had not been able to take part in the imperial examination at all and must have fallen ill and died on the way.
Min'e refused to believe it, and begged for money while searching for him all the way. Finally, she stayed in a stable of an inn in Kaifeng, where she dreamed of her husband whom she had been thinking about all the time.
In the dream, her husband told her that he had indeed died on the road, but he lost his way and now he didn't know where his soul was. Min'e was so sad that she wanted to be reunited with her husband even if she died.
The next day, when the innkeeper went to the stable, he saw Min'e had frozen to death in the snow. He did not expect that her soul was also trapped in this world, unable to find her husband.
I don't know how many years I have been waiting, but I happened to meet a woman like Madam Du, who had a clean background and a horoscope that matched my own, and that's how I was able to possess her and walk out of that world.
Only after she came out did she realize that the dynasty had changed outside. The world was so big, where could she find her husband?
Thinking of this, Min'e couldn't help but burst into tears.
After hearing this, everyone around could only feel sad and sorry for Min'e, and they no longer felt afraid of this poor woman.
Upon hearing this, the monk sighed repeatedly, and finally promised Min'e that he would sacrifice his own skills to help her find a husband.
It only takes three days to tell Min E to stay well in Chunhe Teahouse and not to possess the spirit again and affect Madam Du's lifespan.
Min'e thanked him repeatedly, and the people around him couldn't help but sigh at the monk's compassion and continued to express their support.
Seeing this, Liu Yunqing knew that the matter was settled.
Madam Du also pretended to be Min E and thanked the monk. Then she suddenly relaxed her body lying on the ground, raised her head and looked at the people around her, uttering a puzzled sound.
The ladies around helped her up and tried to comfort her, telling her to prepare more incense and offerings for the monk in three days and not to go out again. They also enthusiastically said that they would go to Chunhe Teahouse in three days to watch, which would attract more people and prevent ghosts from harming people.
With these ladies taking the lead, everyone else followed suit and when they looked again, the monk was nowhere to be seen. It turned out that he was indeed an accomplished master, which made people more convinced.
Liu Yunqing walked ahead to a dark alley nearby where few people were. A young man came out of the darkness. He took off his beard and robe, and it turned out to be the monk who left the crowd.
"Madam Liu, look at this money today..."
This person was a juggler specially invited by Liu Yunqing from outside the city. He was very good at acrobatics and magic tricks, and he had just used his special skills to escape.
Liu Yunqing took out two taels of silver from his purse and placed it in his palm.
"After the play is finished in three days, you know what to do."
The man nodded repeatedly: "Please rest assured, my lady, I am in this line of work, so I will not destroy your reputation or mine. I will not come to Bianjing to perform for the next year, and I will keep my mouth shut!"
Liu Yunqing nodded and asked him to put his fingerprint on the deed so that he would not be afraid that this person would go back on his word. If the matter was exposed, he would have to compensate Chunhe Teahouse with a hundred taels of silver.
If these jugglers were not attached to any tycoon, they would usually perform in the streets and alleys, going anywhere. This way they could ensure that they could always perform something new and avoid having their tricks exposed by the audience.
Liu Yunqing was not worried either. He just wanted to create enough suspense. The scene three days later was the most important!
When Liu Yunqing returned to Chunhe Teahouse, Mrs. Du had already cried bitterly with excitement. When they saw Liu Yunqing, they were even more grateful. They invited her to dinner and wanted to play music for her. They were so busy that they couldn't stop.
I have been busy with the affairs of Chunhe Teahouse today. I haven't been to the bookstore yet. The new plaque is now ready, and it will be opened with the new sign in five days. By then, the book bar will also be set up, and I have to trouble Madam Du to prepare some drinks and snacks for the book bar.
The Apricot Blossom Poetry Festival will be held in another six or seven days, and she will have to ask Mr. Zhao to promote her incense paper and the competition, so he will be busy.
Liu Yunqing did not keep them, so she just asked Madam Du and her sister to prepare for what was to come. During these three days, she would just check for any omissions.
Madam Du and her companions respectfully escorted Liu Yunqing out of the teahouse, and the two sisters couldn't help but feel emotional.
Originally, I thought that I had given Madam Liu a lot of money, but now looking back, I feel that they got a great deal. If they just perform this play well, it will become a good story in Bianjing, and then there will be no need to worry about not having customers.
They were so happy that the little hedgehogs in the backyard looked much more handsome.
I've read in ghost plays before that hedgehogs are fairies that bring wealth, and now it seems to be true.
