Chapter 130: Selling Talismans
It was not someone else who blocked Shi Gui's way but Mingyue, the Taoist robe on his body fit a lot, his shoes were well put on his feet, his hair was washed and combed into a bun, and he was tied with a blue cloth strip, although his face was not white, but he was also energetic, and his belt was tied neatly, Shi Gui looked at it, but he couldn't recognize it.
He was neatly dressed, but the smile on his face had not changed, this place was crowded with people, but he recognized Shi Gui at a glance from the crowd, and he wanted to step forward, but he didn't expect her to be rushing over by herself, smiling so hard that she leaned lazily against the door of the bookstore: "Why are you here." ”
Shi Gui was pleasantly surprised at first, and then saw that he was holding a small basket in his hand, which contained a porcelain box of yellow paper brushes, which was obviously sent out to buy something. Shi Gui still remembered that he said that he wanted to stay at that time, so he really looked like he was really a Taoist priest in Yuanmiaoguan, and stretched out his head to look: "You bought these for drawing talismans?"
"The monk recites the scriptures, and the Taoist priest draws the talismans, which is called the Tao of nature. He shook his head, lifted the basket, and was about to boast that he was very powerful now, but before he could speak, someone came over and asked, "Master Mingyue, is there any peace charm?"
Mingyue waved her hand, with an impatient look on her face, waved her hand and said, "It's gone, it's early, please be early next time." ”
Shi Gui was stunned when she heard this, Mingyue is a sweetwater person like her, she can mention the Ye family's yard, in addition to being a dog, but also because she speaks well in official words, others should be taught by Mrs. Zheng, but Shi Gui took advantage of her previous life.
It has only been a long time since Mingyue came, and she still had a local accent when she just talked to her, so she changed her accent when she turned her face, and she didn't know that he was a native of Jinling.
Mingyue looked at the carriage in the distance, and was so crowded that she couldn't move: "I am all going to the temple fair in front, and I have to wait, what errand do you help? I invite you to eat oil cakes." ”
Shi Gui looked back, the carriage really didn't move, and nodded: "You wait, our girl told me to buy a book." Saying that, as soon as Shi Gui stepped to the door, the guy came to greet her, and he knew that it was Yahuan when he looked at her dress, and asked what to buy, Shi Gui was buying something for Ye Wenxin, and seeing that the book was a little unable to walk, he simply collected a few books and added a copy of "The Story of the White Tower".
The guy saw that a little girl could read, and he took the book to take a look, but he looked at her differently, and there was no girl in a big family who was still literate, so he took the oil paper and wrapped it for her layer by layer: "Chenghui eight dollars." ”
The fried candy snacks outside are only a few pennies a pack, but it costs so much to buy five or six books, which is worth her monthly money for a month, Shi Gui touched a piece of silver and came out, and the young man came out with a small scale, and the silver scissors twisted some loose pieces, and returned them to her, and sent her to the door.
Mingyue had already bought the oil cake, and the oil paper was wrapped in fragrant and hot and put it in her hand, Shi Guiyuan wanted to invite him to eat, but seeing his indifferent appearance, he must have some money in his hand, biting the pie crust and swallowing it in his mouth.
The oil cake is wrapped in goose meat filling, Mingyue arrives in Jinling, the favorite thing to eat is goose meat, the Taoist priest is a vegetarian, but he doesn't take himself as a Taoist, the family can't survive, so he put him in the Taoist temple to raise a raising, and he is not a serious monk, how can he be regarded as a Taoist.
In the view that is not eaten, all come out, how can you not taste the fireworks in the world, Mingyue runs for the brothers once a month, from outside the city to the city to walk a lot of way, the Taoist priest in the view has a good master on top, pampered and accustomed to it, there is something bad at the bottom of the small errands, both instructing people, naturally have to spend a few pennies on tea money.
Others are unwilling, Mingyue is willing, you can eat meat when you get out of the Taoist temple, even the car money is saved, and all the money is used to eat, others are clever, and they are dressed as Taoist priests, and they mix a few times on the street, and they find a way to make a fortune.
Not only did he live in Yuanmiaoguan, he ate and drank in the temple, but he also lost that Mingyue was the apprentice grandson of the old Song immortals, so he was called out if he came to the door for another person.
He also does some miscellaneous work in the view, but the round and wonderful view is much more lively than the city of Jinling, just the temple fair held at the gate of the mountain, then the Wuyang is full of people, in addition to selling flowers, selling powder, selling food, good people also have to go to the view on a pillar of incense.
Mingyue only then knew that these senior brothers in the view were still secretly selling talismans, and the cinnabar characters were written on a piece of yellow paper, even if it was a talisman, Mingyue had never learned it in the Tongxian Temple, but he had worked hard to draw talismans, and he didn't work on the side, and he didn't know how many beatings he had eaten, and if he didn't draw an appearance, he was sorry for being beaten.
These senior brothers buy paper with a knife and a knife, cinnabar is in these views, inexhaustible, better than these outside, the palace sends things to Zhang Lao Xianren every month, and cinnabar is the most important thing.
Mingyue bought the paper and went back to cut, cut a few sheets, draw a few talismans, move around a lot, naturally have questions, the charm in the circle is wonderful, buy back to keep the peace of a lot, he does a business, not much at a time, only ten, back can be sold for hundreds of dollars.
He also pays attention to selling talismans, although he has this body of skin, but the other one does not know his talisman spirit, a few circles on the street, picked an old woman who opened a foot shop, went in and asked for a bowl of tea, and talked to her, saying that it was wonderful and wonderful, and it was asking for wind and rain, everyone in this Jinling city knew it, and the mother-in-law naturally believed that she was given a yellow talisman at the end.
It is said that it is worthy of relieving misfortune and eliminating disasters on the body, but all those who enter the temple are mostly old women, and the bright moon is indeed out of the circle and wonderful view, and the things are only true and not false, with his charms, good things are naturally counted on his head, which is becoming more and more popular, and ten pieces are in short supply.
Mingyue entered the city for the first time, carrying half a penny of silver, seeing that there were people lined up in front of the shop, and then seeing that the restaurant was open, there were tables, stools and incense tablets, and the buttocks were next to each other, and the cousin smiled and asked: "What is the use of the little Taoist chief?"
There are a lot of people in Jinling City who are not rich or noble, they can't see it by looking at their clothes, they don't know which yamen is on an errand, there are so many people like cows, and the cousins don't dare to look at people with white eyes, and they look down on people.
Mingyue spent ten copper plates to eat a bowl of Lantern Festival, thin skin and big meat, the soup was stewed with chicken bones, so fresh that he almost licked the bottom of the bowl, and those squatting on the wall and leaning against the eaves outside were idlers, wearing short beats, and sitting in some long shirts and satin, he knew the benefits of money since then, so he came up with such a method.
Shi Gui listened to him while eating, her eyes widened, she was selling bamboo shoots, basket by basket dug and washed and carried down the mountain, a few times a day back and forth is only 30 yuan, Mingyue only sells yellow paper, wearing a Taoist robe can have a hundred yuan: "Let your senior brothers know, do you have to beat you again?"
Mingyue laughed: "I know how many senior brothers ship in January, they may not know, everyone makes a fortune quietly." As he spoke, he took out a paper bag from the basket and said, "This is for you to eat." ”
Shi Gui invited him to eat candy, and he always remembered that when he went to buy oil cakes, he saw that the burden was selling Huanxi Tuan's heartfelt candy and a pack of disaster-eliminating cakes, and he weighed them all and gave them all to Shi Gui.
Shi Gui felt that he was friends with him, so he took it politely: "It's good for you, it's easy to come out, but I can't do it." Mingyue laughed, he only knew Shi Gui in this Jinling City: "What's this, I'll go to the Song family to find you when I'm free." ”
Shi Gui raised her eyes, the carriage in front of her had already walked for a while, and she immediately waved her hand: "It's not easy for me to go out, if you can come, say it's my fellow countryman." ”
They were originally fellow villagers, and Mingyue was the most clever, so she immediately responded: "I know the Song family, in Shangshu Lane." Agreed, waved goodbye to Shi Gui, followed her all the way, and saw that she had found the Song family's car, so he stood far away and watched.
Shi Gui handed the book into the car, and asked Ye Wenxin if he wanted to taste the fruit and snacks, but Yuxu stopped: "I don't know if it's clean or not, and I don't know how to go in such a way." ”
Slowly swallowed and easily crossed the bridge, and it was faster to turn around and drive on the path, Shi Gui pinched a heart-satisfying candy and stuffed it into his mouth, thinking that Mingyue was here to find her father, she also wanted to redeem herself, Ye Wen thought that if she didn't enter the palace, she would be happy one by one, and it would be fine.
The courtyard of the Ye family is in Houde Lane, crossing the bridge and stringing workshops, there are many things to prepare, but in fact, the distance is not far, the gate has already been opened to greet it, Mama Feng arrived one step earlier, and she has already arranged things, and the two masters also have to eat New Year's dinner.
Mama Feng is so attentive for a reason, she is an old bone, but her son is still in the prime of life, and the Ye family is only Ye Wenlan, and when the old one is gone, the younger one takes over, and the son has been in charge for more than ten years, and what is not in the palm of his hand, this is next to Ye Wenlan, and everything puts him in front.
As soon as the car stopped by the door, she greeted her, Ye Wenlan was already sitting sullen, the car swayed, Ye Wenxin didn't allow him to talk about the book, just now "The Story of the White Tower", he was listening to half of it, quickly took the book, and went all the way to the study.
Shi Gui is still the first time to come back to the Ye family, only to hear Liu Suchen say that the Ye family has a good garden in Yangzhou City, but it is different in Jinling City, under the nose of the sage, who dares to violate the manufacturing institute, that is, the Yan family has a prince because of the queen, and the garden is not a good place.
The courtyard of the Ye family can not be compared with the Song family, it is also delicate and small, there is a sedan pavilion in front of the door, and there is a hanging flower door when entering the door, there is a small courtyard all the way in, the corridor is high and low, and the mountains and rivers are built.
Hanging a crystal curtain, setting up an ivory bed, and the red sandalwood Qiangong bed is embedded with elephant carving landscape figures, Shi Gui's eyes widened when she saw it, and the jade wadding pushed her: "What are you looking at." With a smile on his face, he glanced at her: "The girl sleeps better than this when she is at home." ”
Shi Gui has always known that the Ye family is rich, but he never thought that the Ye family would be rich like this, it must not be clean, and then the weaving has made up for the Yan family's deficit, where did the money come from?
Only then did she remember that she followed Ye Wenxin to Jinling, but she didn't enter the Song family's house, but carried more than a dozen boxes on the Zhuangzi.
