"A penny. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
Wei Yuan stretched out a finger, and Yi Chenzi, who was eager to try, was stunned for a moment, and soon leaned on the pillow of the scarlet embroidered gold-edged peony again.
"Then you play slowly, old man, I have been exhausted recently, so I won't play with you."
Yi Chenzi pursed his lips, very disgusted with Wei Yuan's pricing.
"Alas, the old man, I have always been a priceless treasure, and if I follow you to do this this time, I will definitely lose my reputation as an old man! I can't do anything stupid! β
Yi Chenzi shook his head, and Wei Yuan pursed his lips and smiled.
Ren Xingyi's family.
"Alas, how did this happen at this time?"
Huang sat in the courtyard picking vegetables, sighing, his eyebrows and eyes full of anxiety.
"It's okay, don't worry too much, didn't Brother Wang say it, when the limelight passes, we can take Tingting to ......"
Although Ren Xingyi was also anxious, he still tried to comfort the Huang family.
"The limelight is over? I'm afraid that when the limelight passes, people will ...... Who doesn't want others to send charcoal in the snow, people like us can't be icing on the cake, and they can't send charcoal in the snow......"
The Huang family also has the Huang family's worries, after all, what they want to ask for is not ordinary people in the mountains, if they still avoid it at this time, they are afraid that it will make people feel cold.
"I heard that Mrs. Nawei is not this kind of scheming person......"
Ren Xingyi's face changed slightly, but he still retorted in a low voice.
"Listen? We haven't even seen anyone, how can we infer what others think so simply, besides, you only allow us to avoid trouble, and you don't allow people to dislike it? β
Ren Xingyi didn't dare to speak anymore, he knew all these things, but they didn't dare to get involved in the affairs of the big people, lest their whole family get involved.
"We don't have anything good at home, why don't we take that hen and send it to Mrs. Wei?"
After hesitating for a while, Ren Xingyi cautiously proposed.
"I'm afraid that thing is not rare, but there is no better one, only to send this."
Huang hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and Ren Xingyi tied the chicken wings with grass and prepared to send them to Wei Yuan.
As soon as he arrived in Yuecheng, Ren Xingyi found that the atmosphere in the city was different from usual.
It stands to reason that it is almost evening now, and everyone should be sitting around the stove in their own homes, eating and drinking rice wine, but the street is very lively today.
Ren Xingyi walked for a while, and faintly heard the words "opening" and discounts.
"I passed the gongs and drums here just now, and now I'm afraid I'm going around to the west......
"Although it's a promotion, I always feel that the price should not be low, after all, it's a warlock, no matter what, how low can it be."
"Hey, brother, you didn't understand this, you didn't hear what people said in the end, just a penny!"
"Really? You won't let me buy some magic weapons to cheat me out of money in the end, will you? β
The people on the street talked a lot, and Ren Xingyi finally understood what kind of warlock shop was about to open, as long as he saw it once.
Why don't you send Tingting to that warlock shop to have a look?
Ren Xingyi walked slowly on the street with this thought, and soon arrived at the inn where he was drinking and eating that day, and happened to meet Wang Wu who was walking back.
"Yo, why is Brother Ren here?"
Wang Wu is about to write down all of Wei Yuan's ideas and ideas, so that he can do them again when he opens a store in the future.
"I'll send an old hen to Mrs. Wei."
Ren Xingyi was a little embarrassed, and lifted the chicken in his hand up, revealing the bright red cockscomb.
"Ah, thank you so much, Yi Lao is still talking about wanting to drink chicken soup today!"
Ren Xingyi smiled and said proudly: "Our chickens are the best in the whole village, and we know about it for several miles!" β
Wang Wu accepted the chicken, thanked Ren Xingyi again, and hurriedly went to see the 'propaganda effect'.
"Hey, I forgot to tell the old lady about opening a store!"
After walking for a while, Wang Wu suddenly remembered that he had forgotten something, and patted his head gently, preparing to let someone inform Ren Xingyi after he was busy with this matter.
"Are you ready for candied fruit?"
The shop was as lively as the outside of the city, and Wei Yuan had prepared a lot of small things, including several baskets of candied candies alone, all of which were prepared for the opening.
"Ready, lady, do you think that's enough?"
Huan'er pointed to the large baskets full of them, and she was actually a little distressed in her heart, this thing is not cheap.
"Almost, ready for the gift?"
Wei Yuan sent people to make a round ball with small wooden strips, which were either filled with three or five cents, or some melon seeds and peanuts, some valuable ones were put on a pearl, and the most valuable one was a fish-shaped jade pendant, and Wei Yuan also gathered good luck for it.
"I've almost done hundreds of them, all of them are simple handicrafts, why did the lady give them so much money."
Huan'er thought of the pile of craftsmen who made round balls, and her heart hurt even more, it was calculated by a number, ten cents a piece, and in just over a day, these craftsmen had already earned a few taels of silver.
That's more than her monthly money!
"And Ah lady, we already only need to see one person for a penny, why do we still send these things, isn't this a big loss!"
Huan'er always couldn't understand why Wei Yuan wanted to be so handy.
"Actually, if you calculate carefully, these things are not particularly expensive, the most expensive jade pendant is only one hundred taels of silver, and the others add up to no more than five hundred taels of silver, let's sell a bottle of fragrant honey for dozens of hundreds of taels of silver......"
"But ......"
Although Wei Yuan said this, Huan'er still couldn't accept it in her heart, this was really a loser.
The third day of September.
This day, even many years later, is an unforgettable moment in the hearts of Yuecheng people.
As soon as the sky was bright, the shop of the Lingxiang Sect began to get busy, and I don't know where Wang Wu went to change a lot of copper.
Wei Yuan had already prepared the rune paper and cinnabar, but because of the tight time, he didn't have time to add fan grass to the cinnabar.
Before the door opened, there were already many people standing in front of the shop, most of them came to see the excitement, a small part came to see the situation, and only a few people were ready to change their fortunes with expectations.
As soon as the auspicious time arrives, the door of the shop immediately opens, and a string of firecrackers is set off outside, which is ready to officially welcome customers.
Wang Wu stood at Wei Yuan's desk as an assistant, watching the people outside just stand on their feet and talk a lot, but they didn't come in, and couldn't help but be a little anxious.
"Lady, this doesn't seem to work......"
Wang Wu began to sigh, eager to rush out the door and pull a few people in to see how sincere they were arranged.
"It's normal, you should always give people a little chance to hesitate."
Wei Yuan was not in a hurry at all, he placed the rune paper neatly according to his habits, and put the cinnabar liquid in a bucket and put it aside.
Yi Chenzi sat on the chair on the side and watched the excitement, looking at the crowded appearance outside, and laughed in his heart: This little girl still thinks too simply.
After about a stick of incense, the shop finally welcomed its first guest.
It was a peasant man, his face was full of traces of wind and frost, and he walked cautiously to the door, not daring to come in, for fear of stepping on the bright floor.
"Do you really only need a penny here?"
The man asked in a low voice, his eyes didn't dare to look around, he only dared to look at the board in front of Wei Yuan.
"Yes, we're all pennies now."
Wang Wu rushed in front of Wei Yuan to speak, and his bright smile made the man's feet retreat slightly.
"How do you sell that magic weapon......
The man seemed to have a reason to stay, so even though Wang Wu's attitude made him suspicious, he still asked in a low voice.
"Generally speaking, your situation will not reach the point where you need to use a magic weapon, so you don't need to spend extra money to buy a magic weapon......
It was Wei Yuan who spoke this time, after all, this is her specialty, and Wang Wu can't explain it.
"Is the girl a warlock?"
The man saw Wei Yuan sitting behind the desk, and asked with a somewhat suspicious expression.
"Yes, I'm a warlock."
Wei Yuan nodded, didn't have a word of superfluous explanation, just quietly waited for the man to make a choice.
The man's eyes carefully crossed over Yichenzi, who was half-closed, and he thought about it in his heart, and pulled out a child from his side.
"My child ......"
"Come in and tell me, how can we hear you clearly when you're standing so far away at the door."
Wang Wu also realized that his attitude was too eager just now, so he was much more normal at this time, beckoned to the man, and pointed to the table and chair in front of the desk.
The man hesitated, but walked in with the child.
Wei Yuan motioned for him to sit down, and the man was a little afraid to sit down, but it was not good to stand so high, so he had to carefully squat down against the edge of the chair.
"Girl, do you need a magic device for my baby's situation?"
The man pulled the little baby to the table, his face a little nervous.
Wei Yuan saw that the child was only four or five years old, but he had no energy at all, his eyes were blue and black, his lips were dry, and his eyes were blank, and he was stupid.
"It's entangled in evil."
Wei Yuan lowered his head and dipped in cinnabar and began to draw talismans: "This doesn't use magic weapons, you go back tonight and sprinkle a circle of rice next to his bed, take advantage of the good weather, clean up the house inside and out, and use the sun to dry it, there will be no problem." β
As he spoke, Wei Yuan had already drawn the rune paper and handed it to the man: "Let him bring this, it will not be easy to be entangled in evil in the future." β
The man took the rune paper folded into a triangle stupidly, and looked at the maid next to him handing over a paper bag, and his heart rose to his throat.
"This, this is?"
"This is rice, didn't my lady say it just now, let you sprinkle a layer of ...... next to his bed"
Xi'er opened a hole and showed the man inside, and explained carefully.
"I, rice noodles, our family has a ......"
The man was so anxious that his sweat was about to fall, and he only brought 137 yuan when he went out today, and he raised it by selling chickens at home yesterday.
"Can we give the same as yours? This is what my lady has gathered. β
The man's hand shrank, and the rice almost overturned, Xi'er hurriedly lifted it up, folded the seal again, and said with some displeasure on her face.
"Okay, okay, you go back first and try to see if my lady's method works, if it doesn't work, you can come back tomorrow ......"
Xi'er stuffed the paper bag into the man's arms, the man's hands trembled, and he didn't dare to take it down, took out the copper from his arms, swallowed his saliva, and asked a little nervously: "How much?" β
The man was ready to be beaten out by the man in the corner.
"A penny, we've said it before."
Xi'er pointed to a sign in front of the door.
"No, just throw the money in that basket, the wooden balls in the basket next to it are a small gift prepared by my lady for you, you can take one with you when you go out."
Different from Wang Wu's enthusiasm, the two sisters of Huanxi are actually reluctant to see good business in the shop, this is a gift of money, every person who comes in will lose a lot, it is better not to come!
The man was stunned and carefully put a penny into the basket, his hands and feet seemed to be a little disobedient, worried that the person behind him would suddenly call him to stop.
I was really afraid of something, and when the man just put down the money and was about to go out the door, Xi'er's voice suddenly sounded: "Wait a minute! β
The man pulled the boy and turned around nervously, and his breathing was a little unsmooth.
"What are you in a hurry, you haven't picked the wooden balls yet!"
Xi'er stepped forward, leaned against the table, grabbed a few candied fruits, and handed them to the boy, and nodded her chin to the wooden ball.
The boy looked at Xi'er's hand-looking delicious things, and the man reached out to get the wooden ball, but without paying attention, the boy had already caught the candied fruit in Xi'er's hand.
"You kid! How can you take everything! Don't put it back yet! β
The man saw at a glance that the candied fruit was not an ordinary food, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but start to reprimand the boy, wanting to reach out and grab it and put it back in the basket.
But with the paper bag and rune paper in his hand, and the wooden ball, where did he still have the hand to retrieve the candied fruit in the boy's hand, and then saw the boy's dirty hand, his movements were a few beats slower.
"It's meant to be eaten for the children, so I'll take it."
Xi'er seemed to suddenly understand the man's embarrassment, and her tone softened a little: "These don't charge money, our lady said that as long as you have a penny, you will do what you say." β
With that, he sent the man out of the door.
The moment the man stepped out of the door, he felt a little unreal, what had just happened seemed to be a dream, but when he looked down, he saw the ground paved with stone slabs.
"So many things, it's over, it's definitely bleeding."
"Yes, look at his expression, I'm afraid he owes a lot of money."
"This is quite polite, I didn't throw it out directly, I don't know what this person is going to use to pay off the debt! There is a man in our village who went to the casino and owes money, and now he has to pay back a few taels of silver every month! β
"Alas, what a pitiful ......"
The man walked down the steps, and a few people who really wanted to go in for treatment surrounded him, his face was a little bad, and the only one who had no patches on his clothes lowered his voice and asked, "How much did it cost?" β
The man saw that the boy had eaten the saliva preserves, and he doubled the estimated price in his heart.
