324: Fuqi asks to determine gender
Chu Shuo interrupted him: "I understand! We are all men, I understand! Young Master, don't worry, Sixth Sister is selling this big tonic elixir to you to recuperate your body, not to make money, but just so that you can give birth to a son and a half.
, I got my wish, Sixth Sister is trying to accumulate merit."
Man: "What are you talking about? I have a son!"
"Just because you could have children before, doesn't mean you can have children now." Chu Shuo said, "A family can only be prosperous when there are many children and grandchildren. One is not enough. You have to have at least seven or eight."
The man wanted to find trouble, but he was speechless by Chu Shuo's simple words, and he was almost moved.
In the thinking of ancient people, the more children, the better.
Coupled with the various good deeds Nan Li had done before, the people nodded one after another:
"The Ninth Princess is a very kind person. She knew that the men in Kyoto were weak, so she developed this heroic tonic pill to nurse them back to health."
"No, how can the Chu family and Prince Yu's Mansion be short of money? The Ninth Princess obviously wants to do good deeds and accumulate merit, but some people want to think dirty!"
"..."
When Chu Shuo heard that he was done, he raised his hand to tell everyone to be quiet, and then said: "Some people hide their illnesses and avoid medical treatment, and would rather come to the black market to buy some pills and take them. But have you found that even after spending money and taking the medicine, it still has no effect?
"
When he asked this question, naturally no one dared to agree. After all, everyone was ashamed.
Although the common people remained silent, each of them was more focused than the other, waiting for Chu Shuo to continue.
Chu Shuo took out a big tonic pill and showed it to everyone:
"Because those elixirs have a single effect or are not suitable for the symptoms!"
"But my sixth sister's carefully developed tonic pill is different. It can treat all kinds of men's hidden diseases!"
"And it's not just a temporary effect. Our main focus is to nourish and nourish your body from the inside out, so that you can sleep well and soundly in the future. Having a family full of children is no longer a dream!"
Finally, someone couldn't bear it any longer, and a slightly fat woman said, "But this elixir is expensive. A course of treatment costs several thousand taels."
Chu Shuo said: "The price is expensive because the medicinal materials and formula are good. Coupled with my sixth sister's superb medicine refining skills, this great tonic elixir is definitely worth the money. Madam, just buy a course of treatment and go back to try it."
You know what I said is true. We must spend money wisely. If we buy other things that have no effect, isn’t it a waste of money and time?”
The fat woman was very excited, and regardless of what others thought, she immediately said hurriedly: "The Second Young Master Chu said yes, then I will buy two courses of treatment!"
Chu Shuo shook his head, "Madam, just buy one course of treatment first. Maybe your husband can just use one course of treatment. If you buy too much, it will be a waste. Our family's business is based on honesty, especially my sixth sister.
, the purpose is not to make money, but to benefit the people and accumulate merit!"
His excited speech attracted the people to be convinced and applauded to show their support.
Yesi Heng silently moved to Nan Li and whispered: "I haven't convinced many people, but I am really convinced by your second brother's words."
Nan Li was also stunned.
No wonder her second brother's business became bigger and stronger, which made her feel a little ashamed.
People pestered Chu Shuo to place orders. When Nan Li saw this, he wanted to go back to his house to refine more, so as not to be too busy.
Yesi Heng was a little helpless, but his wife was going to make more money, so how could he stop her.
It seems that these days, he has to stay alone in the empty room every night.
The two sent the governor away and headed back to the mansion.
They turned back the way they came, and the carriage was still parked at the end of the street.
But when passing by a store, Nan Li's footsteps suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?" Ye Siheng saw that her expression was wrong.
"There's something wrong with the smell of this store." Nan Li walked in.
As soon as the two entered the store, a waiter came to greet them and said with a smile: "Madam, are you here to check the calculation?"
The waiter didn't recognize the two of them. He thought there was business in the store and he didn't go out to watch the excitement.
He glanced at Nan Li's belly and saw that her belly was flat, and his smile deepened: "Madam, if you are less than three months old, you will have to add fifty taels of silver."
Yesi Heng listened to these two sentences and was completely confused.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Nan Li's mouth: "No problem, is there someone else ahead?"
"Yes, please wait a moment, madam." said the waiter, "it will be your turn soon."
Nan Li pushed him away and ran directly to the inner room.
A hoarse voice happened to sound inside: "This baby you have is still a daughter."
Then a woman sobbed: "Then...then we can only abort this baby."
When Nan Li heard this, she was so angry that she kicked the door in and walked in.
The two people in the room were stunned when they saw her menacing attitude.
The old woman in shabby clothes frowned, her face wrinkled like ravines. She reacted first: "Little madam, if you want to check the calculation, you must line up according to the rules, otherwise, I will not do your business."
Nan Li saw the sand table in front of her and the talisman that had been burnt to ashes, and he had already determined that the old woman was using the fuji to ask divination to determine the gender of the fetus.
It is estimated that many pregnant women came to ask for divination and chose to have an abortion after hearing that the fetus was a female baby. The old woman had to bear part of the blame, so her face and body were already surrounded by an evil spirit, which became stronger and stronger.
She said: "Old lady, you learn to hold a ji and ask for divination, but you do such an immoral thing. Can you tolerate it with your conscience?"
After hearing this, a hint of impatience flashed across the old woman's face: "She turns out to be a nosy little girl. I'm just helping people calculate their children. It's their business whether they want the child or not. What does it have to do with me?"
Nan Li said sternly: "But you have already committed a crime of murder. In less than five days, you will be reported to King Yama."
Some children were born with instinct, but were aborted by their mothers, and eventually developed resentments.
The resentment of one ghost infant may be weak, but when the resentment of hundreds of ghost infants are added together, the effect will be extraordinary.
The old woman rolled her eyes: "So you and I are traveling together? What? Do you want to sell talismans and seals?"
"I have no interest in caring about you." Nan Li turned to look at the pregnant woman. Her belly was already five months old. "Madam, you are your mother-in-law, so it is unlikely that you will give birth to a son."
.If you do good deeds and accumulate merit, God may still do what you want, but once you abort your own flesh and blood and commit evil, you will not be able to give birth to a son not only in this life, but also in the next life."
The pregnant woman was stunned, but in the end she said cruelly: "But...but I have already given birth to three daughters. My husband said that if this baby is still a daughter, he will divorce me..."
She was at her wits end, so she came to the black market to ask for divination.
Nan Li naturally knows the difficulties faced by women in this era.
If you can't give birth to a son, you will be rejected by others. It may be a good outcome for your husband to take a concubine.
