Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

In Baocheng, the discussions about Lu Xunhuan subsided and life went on as usual.

Lu Xunhuan pretended nothing had happened and took Yun Zhongzi with him to inspect various industries in the city.

I came to Lu Pan’s shop today.

Lu Pan happened to be in the shop. Seeing Lu Xunhuan coming, he hurried out to greet him: "Oh, Master Lu, I, Lu Pan, have been looking forward to seeing you come every day. Finally, you are here."

He welcomed Lu Xun into the shop and went to the tea tasting area. He wiped the chair with his sleeve and said, "Master Lu, please take a seat."

After Lu Xunhuan sat down, he hurriedly asked someone to make the best tea.

"Master Lu, it's great that you're here. Please give me some pointers on how to make this tea shop's business boom."

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "You've been in the tea business for many years. You have eighteen branches throughout Baocheng Prefecture. You have more experience than me."

Lu Pan laughed and said, "Alas, a crude person like me, with no knowledge and a poor brain, needs guidance from adults."

Lu Xun Huan looked at the dazzling array of tea in the cupboard. Instead of discussing tea, he asked, "I heard you're from Lujia Village in Yangshan County?"

Lu Pan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, sir, we are from the same village, we are related by blood."

Lu Xunhuan said to Yun Zhongzi, "Great Elder, let me tell Lu Pan about our ancestors."

Yun Zhongzi bowed and said, "I will go outside to wait for you, sir."

Lu Pan quickly stood up and said, "Old Immortal, come, come, I'll find a place for you to sit down and have some tea."

He called to the tea shop attendant, "Quick, make the best and most expensive tea for the old immortal."

After arranging Yun Zhongzi, Lu Pan came in personally with tea.

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "Which family in our village are you from?"

Lu Xunhuan said, "I was born in Lujia Village. My father passed away when I was very young. My mother couldn't make ends meet, so she took me and fled."

Lu Pan seemed to suddenly understand: "Oh... I remember now, at that time, I was probably only about ten years old..."

He continued to recall: "In the village, Uncle Lu Shuan fell from the mountain and unfortunately passed away. His wife took care of their two sons. The eldest son seemed to be only five years old, and the youngest son seemed to be only three years old. They lived a very difficult life and later left our village..."

Lu Xunhuan said, "I was too young. I have almost no memory of what happened in Lujia Village. I didn't even have a name back then. My mother just called me Erwa."

Lu Pan asked, "Where did you, mother and son, settle down? Why did you disappear without a trace?"

Lu Xun Huan took a sip of tea and said, "My mother took my brother and me on a journey of begging. I vaguely remember that we went to many places and walked very far."

He sighed, "A few years later, mother brought us to the city of Shu'an. She looked up at the city gate and suddenly knelt outside, weeping bitterly. My brother and I didn't know why she was crying, so we cried with her."

Lu Pan said, "Shu'an City is three thousand miles away from our Baocheng. Your mother probably saw the words 'Shu'an' on the city gate and suddenly thought of Uncle Shu'an. She also thought of the hardships of those years and couldn't help but feel sad..."

"Oh, you and your mother have had such a hard time these days..."

Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and he quickly wiped them with his sleeves.

Lu Xun Huan sighed again, "My mother cried and never got up again. She passed away. Later, some yamen runners came and carried my mother away. My brother and I ended up wandering around the city."

Lu Pan asked, "What happened next?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "We were soon separated, and I became alone. Luckily, my mentor passed by Shu'an City and saw me crying my heart out. He took me away, raised me, and taught me many skills."

Lu Pan let out a long sigh: "Luckily you met the sage Liang Jizi, fortunately, fortunately..."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "You call my father uncle. Does that mean we are of the same generation?"

Lu Pan said: "Yes, I am thirty years old this year, how about you?"

Lu Xunhuan replied, "I'm twenty-three."

In fact, he is only twenty-one.

Lu Pan slapped his thigh and said, "That's right. When your mother took you away, I was ten and you were three. There was a seven-year age difference between us. Now I'm thirty and you're twenty-three, just right."

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Did your family start a business later?"

Lu Pan said, "When I was very young, my father helped people transport tea. Later, he started his own tea business. When I came to Baocheng, I was already 20 years old, and my father's tea business was already established."

Lu Xun Huan asked again: "Where is the uncle?"

Lu Pan sighed: "Alas, he suffered too much and became ill from overwork. He has been gone for several years."

Lu Xun Huan took another sip of tea and said, "It's not easy for our Lu family to produce someone."

Lu Pan said: "Yes, you are the glory of our Lu family."

Lu Xunhuan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Have you heard the rumors these days?"

Lu Pan nodded: "I heard it. That damn Zhou Guo framed our Lu family and he deserves a horrible death."

Lu Xun Huan said, "Although nothing has happened for now, once rumors spread, they will definitely cause harm. I am worried that His Majesty will send people to Lujia Village to investigate me."

Lu Pan scratched his head. "That's a problem. You left when you were young, and you probably didn't even have a name back then. No one in the village knows who Lu Suifeng is. What if someone investigates and the villagers say there's no such person as Lu Suifeng? What will Your Majesty think?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled and said, "You are my brother. From now on, our state government will naturally take care of your tea business."

"Also, I'll help you think of some ideas. However, you should go back to Lujia Village and visit your fellow villagers. By the way, help me repair my father's grave. After you go back and make arrangements, I will find a chance to go back and take a look."

Lu Pan nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll leave later."

Lu Xun Huan pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "I don't know how many households there are in the village. Take it back and distribute it as you see fit."

Lu Pan took the banknote and said, "Our Lujia Village is a big village, with more than a thousand households and nearly ten thousand people."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "So there are so many people here. I can't afford to get into trouble. If His Majesty falls for someone else's conspiracy, our Lu family..."

Lu Pan put the banknote in his pocket and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."

Lu Xunhuan and Lu Pan had a secret conversation for about an hour.

After he left, Lu Pan hurriedly packed up, left the city quickly and returned to Lujia Village.

After visiting Lu Pan’s main tea store, Lu Xunhuan went to the next one.

But this time he went not to a shop, but to a big mansion.

I knocked on the doorknob and after a while, the door opened.

Inside the door, a woman asked, "Sir, what can I do for you?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I have received a report that the people living in this mansion are acting mysteriously all day long, so I brought Elder Yun Zhongzi with me to see if there are any undercover agents from other countries."

The woman said, "Sir, we are genuine Nanliang people. My master likes quietness and doesn't like making friends. Can't we just live a quiet life? Why do we have to become undercover agents?"

Lu Xunhuan smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, great hermits hide in the city. Could it be that your master is some hermit master? Please inform him that Lu Suifeng is visiting the master. I hope you will give him some face."

The woman pondered, seeming to be in a dilemma.

If you don't agree, the person in front of you is the governor of Baocheng. If you make him angry, he can bring the yamen runners to confiscate your house at any time.

If I agree, I'm afraid my master will be unhappy.

Just when she was in a dilemma, a man's voice came: "Fool, can you stop the two people at the door? Even if you can stop the governor, can you stop the elder Yun Zhongzi? Come in quickly."

The woman replied, "Yes."

Then, she stepped aside, opened the door, and bowed to Lu Xunhuan and Yun Zhongzi: "Sir, Great Elder, please come in."
