Chapter 15 Snake Spirit, I Can
After completing her transformation, Bai Buling did not stay in the mountains for long. She went to the provincial capital that day.
The prosperity of the provincial capital has amazed her, but she heard that there is also the most prosperous place in the world - Yue Jing!
So she came and decided to become a Beijing fox.
Before she transformed, Bai Buling would use blinding techniques to make the target see her as a human being, so she had contact with people and understood some rules of human society.
If you want to integrate into a place, you must first have a house there. Human beings often say that having a house means you are not a duckweed without roots.
Bai Buling still has some savings after working hard for so many years.
She found out about Yaxing and planned to buy a house.
As a result, the wife from Yahang glanced at her and asked, "Do you have a Jinghu?"
"What is Kyoto? Don't you just need money to buy a house? I have money, lots and lots of money."
Mrs. Yaxing said disdainfully, "You're from a small place, right?"
"I come from the mountains." Bai Buling answered honestly.
Mrs. Yaxing's momentum increased sharply, "What kind of place is this? This is Yuejing, a city with a population of five million. If you want to buy a house, you must not only be rich, but also have a Yuejing household registration!"
Bai Buling didn't, so she asked, "How can I get a Yuejing household registration?"
"First of all, you have to live in Yuejing for five years and not commit any crime. Then you have to apply. You may not be able to apply. You have to queue up."
"Five years is too long. Is there any way to make it shorter?" Bai Buling asked humbly.
"Yes," Mrs. Yaxing said with a smile, "as long as you marry a Yuejing native, you can directly obtain the Beijing household registration. I know a rich man who is only fifty-eight years old this year. He is young and promising, and his wife just died.
, the old lady will help you get to know her."
Bai Buling blinked his beautiful and clear eyes, "Old lady, are you a human trafficker?"
"Hey, this is not fun to talk about. In Dayue, trafficking in women and children is a serious crime, and serious cases may even lead to beheading." The old woman looked shocked, "I'm just introducing you to a good family. It's something you agree with me.
You are not willing to pull me down."
Bai Buling snorted, "You don't look like a good person, I won't buy the house."
"If you don't buy it, you are a girl from the mountains. If you don't climb high branches, you still want to settle down in the capital. You think that if you look like a fairy, you are really a fairy!"
Bai Buling turned around and left, wandering boredly on Chang'an Avenue, sometimes buying candied haws, sometimes buying roast chicken, which soon became a beautiful sight on the street.
Others saw her smiling heartlessly, but in fact she was really thinking seriously about what the old woman just said.
How about marrying someone? But I am so beautiful and smell good all over my body, so how can the people around me not have the blessing to enjoy it?
At this time, she walked outside the door of a teahouse and heard the voice of a storyteller inside.
She threw the chicken skeleton that was so chewed up by the flies to the dogs on the roadside, wiped the oil on her hands and went in.
Bai Buling especially likes to listen to stories. In the past, she often used blindfold methods to sneak into human towns and listen to storytellers in teahouses telling stories, and she learned a lot about life principles.
For example, don't litter everywhere, and wash your hands after eating.
The story the gentleman tells here is called "The Legend of White Snake", which I have never heard before. The author is Wei Yangsheng and the storyteller is Ximen Qian.
"It's said that there is a white snake who has been practicing for thousands of years..."
"Wow!" Bai Buling immediately applauded. The thousand-year-old monster is so powerful.
The audience looked back one after another, and then they couldn't turn their heads back. After that, no one listened to the story attentively, except Bai Buling.
However, the audience's reaction did not affect the storyteller's enthusiasm. Mr. Jin still told the story a thousand times, which made people fascinated.
The story tells the love story between the snake spirit Bai Suzhen and the scholar Xu Xian. Although Bai Suzhen is a monster, in the storyteller's opinion she is too beautiful, too strong and omnipotent.
So much so that many male listeners think that I can be a snake spirit too.
However, what is annoying is that when the story reaches a critical point, when Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian are about to consummate their marriage, the storyteller Ximen Qian takes a photo of Gaiden.
"If you want to know what happened next time, please listen to the explanation next time!"
This makes the audience very angry. Some of the audience can still use two distractions, watching the little beauty and listening to the story at the same time. This is about to get to the point of drama, but you don't talk about it anymore. What do you mean?
A big man with a beard stood up and said, "Old Ximen, what do you mean, did you know that the grass on the last grave that was so fragmented was already one meter high!"
"That's right, Mr. Jin, how can you stop here, shameless!"
"We want to hear about the bridal chamber of White Snake and Scholar!"
"Don't miss any detail!"
Ximen Qian was a handsome, elegant, thin old man with a white face and no beard. He tapped the three characters "Wei Yangsheng" on the standing sign with his pipe without haste.
"This story was written by this person. He has written so much so far. It's useless for you to yell at me. When he writes the rest, I will naturally continue telling it and let it go."
Bai Buling saw that the big man was still refusing to let him go, so he quickly ran away. His clothes were so white, it would be bad if he got beaten and splattered with blood.
However, the story of Bai Suzhen, a member of the family, inspired Bai Buling.
Scholars are indeed a good choice for marriage. They are usually good-looking, fair and tender, and well-educated. If they can afford to read, they usually come from a good family background.
So Bai Buling asked the aunt who sold pancakes on the roadside to find out where in the capital there were the most scholars, and bought a set of pancakes to go with it, "I'll add all of these!"
Aunt Jianbing enthusiastically provided two options, one is Yuejing Academy with a history of hundreds of years, and the other is Dayue Royal Academy built by Emperor Fushou with money from his inner treasury.
Outstanding scholars across the country end up in these two major academies, among which Yuejing Academy is more virtual and Royal Academy is more solid.
Bai Buling said she didn't want to be vain, so she walked towards the Royal Academy.
Outside the gate of the Royal Academy, all the young students wearing the same style of blue shirts were coming in and out. There were men and women, more men than women. They were clearly differentiated and never clustered together.
It was a new aspect of the Fushou Dynasty that women could study and serve as officials.
Bai Buling was just thinking about how to meet his lover when he saw three female scholars walking towards the roadside.
Bai Buling thought that he might be able to introduce them through them, so he planned to get to know them.
She pricked up her ears and easily heard what the women were talking about.
"Why hasn't Aunt Zhao come yet? I have all the money ready."
"That's right, she must not not come. Whether she can be selected or not depends on her."
"When I think about being able to stay with Mr. Liu in the future, I feel like my body will melt away!"
These female scholars looked very smart, but what they said confused Bai Buling, so she simply walked up to them and asked, "What are you talking about?"
A gust of fragrant wind hit, and then a violent attack on the appearance. The three female students were briefly dizzy after seeing Bai Buling.
One of them reacted first and asked with a somewhat ugly expression, "You, are you waiting for Grandma Zhao too?"
"Mother Zhao, what does she do?" Bai Buling asked.
"Stop pretending," the other person lost his balance and ran away, "You must be waiting for her, huh, you can participate in this talent show, I won't play anymore!"
The last person also echoed, "Yes, if you participate, you will also accompany me. I will make green leaves for others for free. I won't do it anymore. I will work hard next year and maybe I can get the top female prize!"
Of the three female scholars, two ran away the moment Bai Buling appeared, and the remaining one was stopped by Bai Buling.
"I really don't know who Aunt Zhao is, I..." She was still explaining.
Chapter completed!
