Speaking of this, Yan Jiu was also a little embarrassed.

He has a high status in the capital circle, and he has to be a little particular about taking on work, and the reputation of his ancestors is there, so he can't take on any messy errands.

Although a spiritual master like him with a family background is said to be not worried about business and money, he is not his second uncle and master.

If those high-ranking families really need to find someone to help, they still tend to come to his elders for help.

Of course, most of the time the elders took over the work, and they also supported him to run errands, but that would be a white errand, and the filial piety received must be the same, all to the elders, and the elders may give him one or two good things or something according to his needs, the possibility of money is not great, and most of them are practical magic weapons.

All the juniors in the circle have grown up like this.

His business looks booming, but in fact, the money he earns himself is not as much as others imagined.

Yan Jiu is now married to a wife, and he can be regarded as a family, and he has raised a few junior apprentices, although he is not a disciple, after passing the assessment, when he can accept apprentices, he will probably choose one or two talents from here, and enter the wall of Yan's house, give him the surname Yan, and give him an apprentice.

"Ahem."

Hongchen glanced at him.

I was verbose for a long time, and I didn't get to the point.

Yan Jiu closed his mouth, and said after a while: "Those simple little jobs, I didn't take them, and the magic weapons were not sold lightly, but my apprentice is young, so I want to start with a simple one, he took over a job a few days ago, adjusted the feng shui of the house for the other party, and sold a marble interstitial town house by the way." ”

Hongchen nodded.

Needless to say. Wang Banxian often does this.

Yan Jiucai accepted it for a few days, and it is estimated that the primary school apprentice who can't read a book can do it directly, and it is estimated that the feng shui of that house is good, and the conditioning is still not regulated, that is, even if it is arranged, the effect is limited.

The apprentice used to do a favor and sell a magic weapon to make the other party feel comfortable, which is not considered a deception.

Many spirit masters have done the same.

How many businesses in the world can be in full swing? This kind of playful business is the big one.

Hongchen smiled: "What's this?" ”

Yan Jiu smiled bitterly: "If that's just the case." It's nothing. But the marble interstitial screen that my apprentice sold to the other party was fake. ”

Hongchen's eyes suddenly became a little strange: "The ninth master is short of money, and I am not rich, but it doesn't hurt to help out." ”

Yan Jiu's face was even more bitter: "Don't look at me like that, our Yan family has been inherited for a hundred years." Reputation matters. I don't dare to deliberately sell fakes to fool others. ”

This involves the conduct of a spiritual master. The magic weapon you sell can not play a big role, at most it will regulate the feng shui a little and make people feel comfortable. It's just to make the house look brighter, but you can't sell ordinary things as a customary tool.

Once you do, you are not a spiritual master, but a street charlatan.

"It was one of my uncles who joked with me that he faked a marble artifact and dropped it for me, and the counterfeit artifact ended up being sold by my idiot apprentice."

Hongchen: "......"

It's pretty unlucky.

However, it is not a big deal.

"It's okay, if you're worried about affecting the reputation of your shop, you can mention it to the buyer yourself, saying that your apprentice has not yet been released, and you can regulate feng shui for their family, and there are still some things that are not in place, you want to teach the students, point out the shortcomings, and by the way, optimize it for the buyer, and it is logical to exchange it back."

Hongchen has been with Wang Banxian for a long time, and this kind of trick is very slippery, but he is not as upright as other spirit masters.

At this time, if Yan Jiu came to the door apologetically to admit his mistake, it would be a big deal, even if the buyer didn't pursue it in the face of the Yan family, but you guys who sold things couldn't even tell the truth of the magic weapon, wouldn't it be too incompetent, and the impact on Yan Jiu's reputation was not small.

"Hey, under normal circumstances, if I follow what the county lord said, I think of a way to fool the past, it doesn't hurt to go, but who would have thought that the buyer's house recently lived in a group of spirit masters, a group of them, all from other places, and entered Beijing to participate in the spirit master assessment."

Hongchen immediately covered his forehead.

Don't say anything, those who can participate in the spirit master assessment must be confident in their own abilities, if they can't even see the authenticity of a magic weapon, they won't dare to enter Beijing.

"I have already received a rumor that there is a stunned Qingling Master who believes that our Yan family is a liar, and deliberately sells fake magic weapons at a high price, and now the buyer is a little suspicious, if I go to say that the magic weapon is accidentally mistaken......"

Yan Jiu cried with a sad face, "I really can't say it." ”

No one can say it!

This is very false when you hear it, only you know what is the use of being true!

Although many spirit masters pondered it, they probably knew that there was an article in it, Yan Jiu couldn't sell fake magic weapons, and he didn't need to do this, but that was a spirit master who knew the inside story, and those ordinary people outside didn't understand, they would really believe that the Yan family was deceiving people.

Hongchen was speechless: "...... Come on, you send me the buyer's message, and then wait for the news. ”

She didn't give permission either, and retracted into the car and told the driver to leave quickly.

In fact, just let the fake become real.

The magic weapon, whether it is true or not, does not look at anything else, only whether it has an aura, even if it is a fake marble, but they sell a magic weapon, as long as it is a magic weapon, the other party can't say anything.

Empty talk about a fake as the real thing, Hongchen definitely can't do it, she just thinks, and she doesn't have the cheekiness, but it is to turn the fake into the real thing.

Originally, she also wanted Wang Banxian to go, the skill of that fool was absolutely first-class, but she heard that there was a spirit master, so don't let him come forward.

Wang Banxian can even fool the spirit master now, in the end, it is dangerous.

People are floating in the rivers and lakes, they will always be stabbed, if the surname Wang develops a habit and becomes not enough attention to the spirit master, sooner or later he will have to wrestle, he is really planted in the capital, but it is not the posture that he changed places to facilitate a comeback.

Now that Wang Banxian has become famous, he can stand tall and go far, but if he is unlucky. That must be bad luck.

Yan Jiu listened to Hongchen's words, and was relieved, and happily sent her back to the county lord's mansion, and then turned back.

He knows this county lord, she can't be called a promise, but it's not far behind, since he said that he will wait for news, he will definitely give him a message.

When the county lord comes out, where is there anything that can't be done?

If Hongchen knew what this person was thinking, he must have felt that he belonged to the stream of brain-dead fans mentioned in the Yujue space.

Returned home. She didn't think much about Yan Jiu first.

"Come on. Pack up the peach blossom cake for me. ”

The biggest purpose of this trip is peach blossom cake, so hard to get, you can't never eat a bite.

Luo Niang hurriedly opened a box for Hongchen to taste, and the ones that were opened were made by the old man himself. The taste is indescribable. It's hard to describe it in a simple good word. But people can't stop eating it.

Hongchen carried it into the palace, and half of it was wiped out along the way, leaving half of it. also let the queen eliminate them one by one, so anxious that Su Niang and several palace maids were about to cry.

The queen is not young, at such an age, if she eats too much and makes some trouble, it will be amazing!

"What's the fuss?" The queen rolled her eyes, "I am now practicing martial arts for more than two hours a day, not to mention this little snack, I can eat half more." ”

Break the last piece, give half to Hongchen, and eat together, the queen squinted happily, "I haven't eaten it for many years, I thought I was tired of eating it back then, but I didn't expect to eat it again after so long, it's still delicious." Come, come, Ah Chen runs errands for me, and he can't run in vain, I have some good things here, and it's useless to stay in the palace, you can take it. ”

Hongchen didn't think it was strange.

Since entering Beijing, she may have been valued by the queen mother so inexplicably because of this face or because of blood relationship, and the mother gave something from time to time, not only she was used to it, but the people around her were just as calm.

Su Niang naturally went to open the warehouse and moved the things that the queen had ordered to pack in the morning.

A rough mother-in-law helped to hug it, the thing is not too big, it is half an arm length and width, relatively short, only a mahogany carved lacquer box, the appearance is very ordinary.

The queen took the key she carried with her, opened the lock that was faintly rusty on it, and pointed: "That's it, I don't know what it is, I only know that it can simply open the light to the magic weapon, no need to chant the scriptures and mantras, and it doesn't take a long time, as long as you give it jade and spiritual power, everything can be close to it for a while, and it can become a magic weapon, but the quality depends on the material and luck." ”

It doesn't take time to consecrate the ritual weapon? That's weird, well, in fact, the mutton fat white jade jade box she got looks like it can open the light for the magic weapon in the eyes of outsiders, although in her eyes, it's not just as simple as opening the light.

Hongchen glanced at it curiously, and immediately unceremoniously took the thing and carried it away in his arms.

The queen smiled: "It's still our dusty atmosphere." ”

Hongchen smiled, she didn't even say a kind word, the pattern of this thing is simply familiar, and the lines on the token fragments she got are exactly the same, maybe those things are not tokens, but deliberately divided into tokens, but when combined together, it is the same magical magic weapon?

The one given by the queen is a spherical strange thing, silver, exuding a metallic color, the patterns on it are strange and mysterious, and occasionally there are some missing places, Hongchen is almost sure at a glance that his own tokens, if they are taken, they will definitely be able to fill some gaps.

She couldn't stop crying and laughing—she had guessed many times at home what the so-called prop fragments were for, and when they would be collected. Unexpectedly, she didn't even bother to look for it, and the clues just popped up on their own.

The queen sighed: "I won this thing by betting with others, and I loved it very much back then, but now, no matter how good it is, it is useless to put it in my hands, and it is fortunate that Ah Chen took it." ”

After putting the things away, Hongchen smiled: "Niangniang asked me to buy peach blossom cake, just for peach blossom cake?" ”

"What else?"

The queen narrowed her eyes, stretched out her slender hand, and nodded affectionately on her forehead, "Don't think too much, Ah Chen." ”

Well, the so-called poor dagger, if she is careful about it, it is estimated that it will soon be revealed, and it is tiring to think about it at this time.

Hongchen didn't stay in the palace for a long time, and gossiped with the queen for a while, then got up and went home, and when she got home, Luo Niang said that Yan Jiu had already brought over the information of the family who was killed by his apprentice.

The time is relatively short, and the information is simple. Of course, there is no need to investigate the eight generations of people in this matter.

The buyer who went to Yanjiu's store was surnamed Feng, doing leather business, floating outside for most of the year, he was old for the past two years, and he couldn't do it anymore, so he took over with his son, and he went back to Beijing to live with his wife, and now he only has a grandson and a granddaughter by his side.

Doing business. Not to mention the wealth of the family. It is also very much a family background, often repairing bridges and paving roads, etc., with a good reputation, and an inn in recent times. The rooms in the restaurant are relatively tight. Their family was kind enough to provide a guest room for a few spiritual masters to live in temporarily.

Those spirits were all from the south. He was very young, the oldest was less than thirty, and the youngest was nineteen. It's the age of high spirits.

"Whew, no wonder Yan Jiu is also in a hurry."

The younger the spirit master, the more arrogant and arrogant he is, and he doesn't know how to measure himself, if he changes a few old spirit masters who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time, maybe he will see that something is wrong, and he will not make a noise, and it is not a matter of principle.

Those who buy magic weapons in Da Zhou, five out of ten can buy fakes, and three of the other five are low-end and have no big effect, if you want to manage it, can you manage it?

After looking at the information carefully, Hongchen blinked, and took a pen to circle Situ Mao, the brother-in-law of the Feng family.

This person can take advantage of it.

Situ Mao is particularly fond of feng shui mysticism.

"Let's go for a walk."

Hongchen changed into a palatial dress, newly made of materials sent by the palace, and the collar and cuffs were inlaid with a circle of fiery fox fur, which made her face more delicate and charming.

The Feng family is a merchant, there is no background, the house is only in an ordinary area, a little far away from the county lord's mansion, surrounded by some flat-headed people, and some small shops, most of which are houses facing the street, the residence is in the back, and the shop is in the front, that is, it operates some groceries.

In this kind of location, the chaos is a little chaotic, but there is also an advantage, the neighbors are close, and if something happens to the owner, the west family will immediately know what there is at home, don't want to hide it from others.

Hongchen found a place to stop the car, so he took Luo Niang and Xiao Yan, and a few short-dressed family members, and took a ball of fans, covering his face decently, just like most of the famous ladies in the capital, he walked around the shops.

She is very generous, all kinds of bacon, sauce meat, nuts, as long as you look at the joy, all packed and taken away, the person is beautiful, and the dress is indescribably rich.

Most of the people in the capital are bright-eyed, and they haven't worn those silk satins, but the nobles have seen a lot, and the taste is high, and they can see at a glance whether a girl is a real lady or a fake.

Hongchen stood there, that momentum, that words and deeds, there is absolutely nothing to find fault with, that is, the maids around him are also like the ladies of big families, they must be from a big family, and the girls are all raised as deputy misses, literate and hyphenated, and have extraordinary knowledge.

Suddenly, their group became very conspicuous.

Hongchen stopped, looked up at the sky, suddenly frowned, and whispered to Luo Niang, Luo Niang nodded, looked around, hesitated and walked to a shop selling pickles next to him, Si Siwen said: "Auntie, can you let us rest." ”

The proprietress was stunned for a moment, and when she saw the gold collar Luo Niang was wearing around her neck, she was dazzled, nodded hurriedly, and greeted Hongchen and them into the door with great hospitality, wiped the tables and chairs clean, and served a pot of hot tea.

Hongchen said politely: "Auntie, don't be busy, I saw that it was going to rain for a while, so I borrowed your place to shelter from the rain, don't delay your business." ”

"Where, where."

The proprietress laughed and wondered, now that the sun is shining, where does the rain come from?

But when the nobles said so, she just heard it, did she still have to refute it?

When I returned to the counter, I asked the boy who was waiting next to me to hurry up and be quicker, put on snacks, and entertain the guests.

Luo Niang smiled and grabbed a silver melon seed and stuffed it to the young man, making the other party's face red with joy, and there was smoke on his head.

In a trance, it was raining outside, the wind was roaring, and the wine flags were swaggering.

It was still sunny just now, but it rained in the blink of an eye, the sun was still there, but the rain was surging down.

There was a sudden chaos outside, the small traders were running around, many people ran over and crowded under the eaves to hide from the rain, and two young people also hurriedly blocked their heads and faces and went up the stone steps, shaking the water droplets on their clothes, and one of them was angry: "Damn, it's a bad thing, I don't know if Lao Xiao has collected the books dried in our yard, this is amazing." No, let's go. ”

"Don't mess around, you're very sick, this has just gotten better, and it's terrible to be drenched in the rain."

The other young man dragged him desperately, and his face changed.

The man frowned, and struggled to leave, and there was chaos outside, some persuaded and some scolded. Noisy.

Hongchen blinked. He took out three copper coins and scattered them on the table, looked at them and said a few words to Luo Niang, Luo Niang nodded, got up and walked to the young man. said: "Don't panic, childe. You have a good wife in your family. I remembered that your books were not collected, but today I will collect them for you. ”

The young man was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "How did Miss know?" ”

Luo Niang pursed her lips and smiled. "My young lady is a spiritual master...... She said that your family lives in Dongshi Lane, and your parents have been injured, but there are many good people in the family, and they will be able to turn the crisis into safety. ”

The young man was stunned and dumbfounded.

The other person was also dumbfounded: "This, this, even the bluegrass at my brother's bedside can be seen?" God, your young lady is really a god! ”

He was eager to try, but when he saw Hongchen's rich and noble dress, he was cowardly and didn't dare to step forward.

The eyes of the proprietress in the store were also a little straight.

It's not like she hasn't seen those fortune tellers, and some of them are masters at a glance, but it's not easy to calculate so accurately without asking anything.

In fact, even Luo Niang was surprised, and she only felt that her young lady was becoming more and more energetic.

Ahem.

Hongchen is a little embarrassed, her learning progress is good, but well, it's true that the plug-in is strong enough, but now she can vaguely see more things from the spirit object, and sometimes she doesn't even have to take the initiative to communicate, which is much more convenient than before.

After waiting for a while, before the heavy rain stopped, a carriage came not far away, and the young man who had been said to be sick had a happy face: "It's my family's carriage." ”

Sure enough, when the carriage approached, the coachman heard him shouting, and quickly listened, and came down from the carriage for a ******, holding a coat, an umbrella, and a coat wrapped in oiled paper.

"Xianggong."

It was the man's beloved wife, who ran over in three or two steps, and the two of them gathered together and muttered, while saying, the woman glanced at Hongchen incredulously, and after a while, the husband and wife came hand in hand to thank them.

The man was even more shocked: "Miss is really smart, my lady has really helped me collect all the books, it was at the time that she went to her mother's house to celebrate my father-in-law's birthday, but she was worried about me and came back early in the morning." ”

Hongchen smiled, not proud, and whispered a few more words, asking him to move all the potted plants in the bedroom.

"The bluegrass is still secondary, and the other pots have to be removed, especially the geraniums."

The man was stunned, and his wife nodded hurriedly, now they treat Hongchen as a master, naturally what Hongchen says, they believe it.

Although it was raining, the husband and wife obviously had something in their hearts, and they did not delay, and after thanking them a lot, they hurriedly got into the car and left.

Hongchen showed such a hand, and the surrounding onlookers were suddenly very interested, and they all hesitated to come over and ask, it was rare to meet such a good spirit master.

Even the proprietress of the shop couldn't help it, and came over to let her do the math, Hongchen frowned after looking at her, but still reached out and dipped some tea, and made a plate decently, thoughtfully, and her face was a little dignified.

Her posture frightened the old white lady's face white,

Hongchen coughed, and then said in a low voice: "You want to ask your husband and son?" ”

The proprietress gritted her teeth and nodded.

Hongchen sighed and whispered, "This is the Fu Yin Bureau...... Your marriage is not going well, and you should have had an ex-husband in your early years, and your current husband is married later. ”

The proprietress suddenly lowered her head, and her face turned whiter.

She has been married to her current husband for more than 20 years, and she has moved to the capital for more than ten years, and no one else knows that she is remarried, not even her son.

"I'll take a look, the temporary character, Geng is blocked, your current husband's family, I'm afraid that he has raised the outer room, well, I'm afraid that at this time, I'm plotting with the outer room to steal your dowry, if you rush back in time at this time, it may still be ...... Make it. ”

The proprietress changed her face suddenly, stood up abruptly and ran back, and the young man in the shop opened his mouth wide and was speechless for a long time.

There were a lot of shelters outside, although I didn't hear what they said, but looking at the appearance of the proprietress, I also knew that Miss Lingshi had said something particularly important.

In just a moment, there was a sudden sound of howling and crying, and all kinds of curses, insults, and crazy roars.

"You old immortal, dare to steal the old lady's things, you bastard, get out, get out of me!" (To be continued.) )
