45. (forty-five)

It is probably the end of the year, and the capital is filled with a festive atmosphere. Su Muxian followed Jiang Yuanzhong around the east of the city, except for buying a bunch of sugar gourds, he didn't like anything else, but Jiang Yuanzhong had the illusion that he had a lot of money and nowhere to spend.

The stalls on both sides of the road are dazzling, and after turning a corner, the bustling crowd is significantly less. Looking up carefully, the shops on both sides are written "A certain jade record", and it is obvious that this is a jade street.

Jiang Yuanzhong wanted to pick a hairpin and give it to Su Muxian by the way, but Su Muxian felt that it didn't matter if he went shopping everywhere anyway, so he decided to go in and have a look. The two of them took a step when a faint voice came from behind them.

"Girl, isn't it a fortune teller?"

looked left and right, and there were no other women passing within a radius of ten meters, so Su Muxian was very sure that the girl in the other party's mouth was referring to her. She followed the prestige, only to see a person shrinking in the shadow in the corner of the wall, and a simple small shop was erected in front of her, with a small square flag planted on the side, and the four big characters "Blind Fortune Telling" were written on it.

When the man saw Su Muxian turn around, he also leaned out half of his body, waved his hand and beckoned: "The girl is counted as one, my king is blind, and the people in the rivers and lakes call the half-immortal king blind!" Count a hundred goals, never miss! ”

This is an old man who is almost old, with crane hair and silver beard, and a face that smiles like a chrysanthemum. I don't know which Taoist temple I was wearing, it hung wrinkled on my body, and there were a few oil stains on the cuffs. From top to bottom, it exudes a poor sour temperament from the inside out.

No, it's not appropriate to say that it's poor and sour, it should be said that it's more like a charlatan who is not good at learning.

And his eyes ......

Su Muxian pointed to his eyes and pointed out the facts with an expressionless face: "Didn't you say that you were blind?" How do you know I'm a girl? ”

"Well...... this"

The old man looked away a little embarrassedly, looked left and right, stretched out his hand and groped around, and said something in his mouth: "You see that I can't see it." ”

Su Muxian: "......"

This can also be done.

Good, it's amazing.

Lao Tzu looked at her with a disapproving expression, and he didn't bother to pretend, and muttered in a low voice: "Okay, my surname is Wang's name and the blind man." What you rub on your body is the good rouge of Yunyanzhai, that fragrance, ouch, I can smell the old man from a hundred feet away. ”

And this fragrance also means that the other party must be either rich or expensive, there are not many people in the capital who can afford to wipe the rouge of Yunyanzhai, otherwise he would not have opened his mouth to stop Su Muxian.

Is rouge so expensive?

Su Muxian subconsciously glanced at Jiang Yuanzhong, and the other party looked at the sky boredly, as if he didn't hear what the old man was saying at all.

Forget it, I'll ask you if you have any questions.

Su Muxian thought to herself, looked at the old man and refused directly: "No money, don't count." ”

"Oh, girl, don't talk too soon." When the old man saw that she was leaving, he kept and said, "You see that I don't want money." ”

He turned over the small square flag on one side, and saw that it was written with a red pen: The king of the rivers and lakes is half an immortal, and he doesn't want money if he doesn't want it.

It's quite rhyming.

Master Wang looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Just take it as a good fate, girl, you also ask for peace of mind, let's calculate a hexagram." ”

Su Muxian shook his head: "You can find someone else, I'm busy and don't have time." ”

"Don't, girl." The old man seemed to be determined to stick to the end, so he rolled up the belongings of the shop, carried them on his back and followed Su Muxian, muttering as he walked, "It's not that I said you, girl, your Yin Tang is black, with a scare between your eyebrows, most of the past few days are going to have an accident, maybe it's still a bloody disaster." ”

"First of all, remember that you're still blind." Su Muxian raised a finger and shook it in front of him, and then put up a second one, "Secondly, don't bully me for reading less, your routine is all written in the book, are you going to say that as long as you spend money to help, you can resolve my disaster?" ”

The old man's eyes widened in surprise: "Yo, the girl is amazing, she can still be unpredictable." ”

Su Muxian: "......"

I can't play anymore.

You can kill someone who pretends to be asleep, but you can't tear off someone's extra face.

She rolled her eyes elegantly towards the sky, shrank and hid directly behind Jiang Yuanzhong. Seeing that he couldn't convince her, Wang Blind tried to talk to Jiang Yuanzhong again, but the young man's eyes were cold and swishing like a blade slashing at his face, which really made him feel a little empty.

But the arrow had to be sent on the string, and the blind man had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue: "I look at your two talented women, and your face is also a match made in heaven......"

Speaking of this, he faintly felt that the other party's eyes were not so cold, and he couldn't help but cautiously tentatively said: "Although I haven't met the eight characters of the two of you, it must be a first-class marriage that has been together for a hundred years, but it's just ......."

"Just what?" Jiang Yuan asked casually.

Ouch, there's a play!

The blind man's eyes lit up, he rubbed his hands and said with some excitement: "It's just that there are many good things, and I'm afraid there are still some small tribulations before the marriage is achieved-"

He stared at Jiang Yuanzhong's face, and the words that he wanted to say rolled on the tip of his tongue: "However, this girl has her own natural appearance, even if there is a small tribulation, it will not have much impact, and she will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune and be blessed with good fortune." But it's better to avoid this disaster if there is a way, don't you say? ”

Jiang Yuan looked at him calmly, and suddenly took out a silver ingot or two from his pocket and threw it into his arms.

"That's a good point." He said indifferently, "But I think it's better for you to change your career to matchmaking." ”

"Yes, yes, you said yes." The blind man made a flattering expression when he was old, but he didn't seem to be in harmony at all, and nodded his head again and again. Checking the silver in his hand, he smiled and said, "Then the old man won't bother the two." ”

After that, he looked at Su Muxian again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, the girl Jiren must be ...... if she has her own natural appearance."

"Alright, let's go." Su Muxian waved his hand impatiently.

Seeing that the blind man walked away, Su Muxian arched Jiang Yuanzhong's waist with his elbow and complained: "I know that he is a charlatan, what do you give him money for?" ”

And one by one, "made in heaven" and "a hundred years of good harmony", she didn't have the face to look at Jiang Yuanzhong.

Jiang Yuan pondered for a moment and said leisurely: "...... I have money. ”

"And he's pretty good at talking, too." He went on to add.

Su Muxian: "......"

She grabbed Jiang Yuanzhong's sleeve, blinked her big watery eyes and said, "I'm also quite good at talking, I'm still poor, can I help me?" ”

Jiang Yuanzhong smiled and rubbed her hair, lowered his voice and said, "Shopkeeper, can we send me the wages that I was owed before?" ”

"Ahh

Su Muxian screamed slowly, covered his ears and said innocently: "The wind was too strong just now, what did you say?" ”

Jiang Yuanzhong: "......"

"Nothing." He flicked Su Muxian's forehead, stopped and looked at the gold-inlaid jade signboard on the top, turned his head sideways and asked Su Muxian, "Go in and have a look?" ”

This is a more famous jade shop in the capital, I have seen so many shops before and I haven't picked the hairpin I like, maybe this one can be picked up.

Su Muxian stared at the signboard and hesitated for a moment, then quickly nodded and said, "Okay." ”

……

In normal times, Su Muxian would not set foot in such a place.

First, she has no money, and secondly, she ......

No, there are no two, in general, there is no money.

The inn is not profitable, although Mr. and Mrs. Li left a sum of money for her, but they have been unable to make ends meet like this, and it is obviously not enough, so they can save or save.

It's just that I heard Jiang Yuanzhong say that his grandmother's birthday is coming.

The one who lives in the palace is about to celebrate his sixtieth birthday, and his birthday is on the first day of the Lunar New Year, and Mrs. Jiang is more than ten days later than the one in the palace. But no matter what, the birthday gift should be prepared.

Although she and the old lady have nothing to do with each other, the old lady is not bad, and she was also taken care of during the few days when she temporarily lived in Shenjian Villa, and later ordered the housekeeper to go up the mountain to visit her. With these two points alone, it is not an exaggeration to send a congratulatory gift.

The only thing worth worrying about is, what should I give?

She privately heard the little maid say that although Mrs. Jiang was born in a family of rivers and lakes and was used to a life of dancing knives and guns, she was still quite elegant, and she often splashed ink and recited poems. She thought about it, maybe she could send jade, but jade is a cheap thing, it is not good to give it away, and she is not very able to afford it.

Sure enough, what can be solved with money is not trouble, and everything without money is trouble.

Shopkeeper Su looked at the jade objects on the shelves made of rosewood, and thought about their prices again, and felt a little confused for a while.

She shook her head and sighed, seeing that Jiang Yuanzhong was concentrating on the other side and didn't know what to pick, she didn't bother to bother, and continued to wander around the store.

Fortunately, the store is big enough, and she can do it as much as she wants.

After a circle, she also took a fancy to a jade ornament. It should be a whole piece of Hetian white jade carved into the golden monkey offering peach, the workmanship is quite exquisite, the golden monkey is lifelike, and as a birthday gift meaning is also very consistent.

Su Muxian was about to ask the shopkeeper about the price, when someone suddenly shouted to her behind her.

"Shopkeeper Su?"

The voice is a little familiar, but it doesn't sound like an acquaintance. Is there anyone else she knows in the capital?

Su Muxian thought puzzledly, turned around, and the young man who was as gentle as jade stood against the light, and arched his hand at her with a smile: "It seems that I really didn't recognize the wrong person." Shopkeeper Su, we meet again. ”
