Chapter 111: Sky-high spirit runes
In fact, since Xiao Yuan'er came in, You Fang Dao people have already noticed her.
It's just that from the attitude of the group of people outside who dare not speak out, he can see that this woman is not small, and she should be either rich or expensive. Adhering to the principle that more is better than less, he remained silent and let the latter look at it.
It wasn't until now that he heard Xiao Yuan'er's words that You Fang Daoren opened his eyes and stared at her arrogant and rude behavior.
"Since the young lady has already come, she naturally believes it in her heart, so why ask about it?"
When he spoke, his tone did not fluctuate, so that people could not see his emotions at this time. If it weren't for the slight frown on his brows, I was afraid that no one would be able to see his displeasure with Xiao Kite.
Xiao Yuan'er has no scheming herself, and she hates others playing dumb riddles with her. For the pretending to be a deep wanderer in front of him, he naturally disliked it very much.
But she came with a purpose now, and it was rare that she didn't lose her temper once, but she said impatiently: "Since you know it in your heart, then I won't talk nonsense." Do you have that kind of talisman paper here to ward off evil spirits and avoid evil? The most effective thing is to make sure it works. ”
Hearing her words, You Fang Daoist glanced at Xiao Yuan'er, and did not rush to move, but the words were indeed as concise and clear as she wished: "There is indeed such a rune paper." But if you ask for a better experience like Miss, it will take more energy, and the price will naturally be much more expensive. ”
"Okay, okay, you say, how much." Xiao Yuan'er interrupted him impatiently.
This place is dilapidated and small, and there has been a lot of noise outside, if it weren't for Xiao Chumo, she wouldn't want to come to this place! All she wanted now was to be able to grab the talisman and leave.
Seeing her like this, You Fang Daoist naturally didn't say much, and directly took a wooden box on the table, stretched out his hand and patted it: "Here are all rune papers to ward off evil spirits and avoid harm, and they are also the batch that takes the most energy and is the most effective." Fifty-two one. ”
"Fifty taels?!"
When Xiao Yuan'er, who was originally impatient, heard the last sentence, her eyes widened instantly, obviously feeling incredulous about it.
"A piece of broken talisman paper actually costs fifty taels? Why don't you just grab it! ”
You must know that even she, the second lady of the dignified Ming Kingdom Waiting Mansion, will only have a monthly salary of fifteen taels a month.
That's it, there are already more than many ladies in the house.
If these fifteen taels are given to ordinary peasant households, it is enough for a family of four to live without food and clothing for three whole months.
This wandering Taoist asked for fifty-one spirit runes when he opened his mouth, isn't it just a lion's big mouth!
Compared with Xiao Yuan'er's anger, You Fang Daoren obviously had an indifferent attitude.
"As I said just now, the price of this kind of rune paper is much more expensive. If the young lady thinks it's expensive, you can also look at something else. ”
However, his words fell on the ears of Xiao Yuan'er, who had always been arrogant, and the latter could easily understand it as something else.
"What do you mean by that, do you think Miss Ben can't afford it?"
Xiao Yuan'er slapped the table, her eyes widened angrily, obviously angered by You Fang Daoren's words.
Those words fell on her ears, and she naturally understood that the stinky Taoist priest in front of her was laughing at her for not being able to afford to come here. Even if this is just her own understanding, it is enough to make Xiao Yuan'er unbearable.
And although the You Fang Daoist was indeed a little dissatisfied with Xiao Yuan'er's high-minded attitude, but because of her identity, she didn't show it, so how could she laugh at her as she said?
After hearing Xiao Yuan'er's words, although she didn't step forward like an ordinary street fortune teller, she still explained: "Miss thinks too much, I'm just a Taoist priest who cultivates, and it's up to Miss to decide whether to buy it or not, so how can I laugh at Miss." ”
When he spoke, although You Fang Daoren's attitude was not very low, the content of his words calmed Xiao Yuan'er a little.
Speaking of which, although she Xiao Yuan'er only has fifteen taels of money per month, she will buy clothes and jewelry every two months, and there is nothing special to spend money on weekdays.
plus Luo Mei spoiled her, and occasionally gave her some pocket money. This back and forth, but there is a lot of savings.
Although the fifty-tael spirit rune that You Fang Dao just mentioned was indeed very expensive, she was not unaffordable. I just felt that this talisman was only made of cinnabar and yellow paper, and it was not worth it, so I was a little hesitant.
Even if the people in the lower reaches of the Dao had already explained that they were not laughing at her, Xiao Yuan'er always felt that she had to breathe a sigh of relief.
Looking at the wooden box under the former, Xiao Yuan'er snorted, and her attitude was still arrogant: "You don't need to look at anything else, you just want this spirit rune." Take me two, no, three! ”
If it is changed to someone else, it is estimated that only one is enough, after all, this is also exchanged for silver in white flowers. However, Xiao Yuan'er asked for three at once.
According to what she thought, this was used to protect Xiao Chumo's safety, no matter how expensive it was, she should buy two more insurances.
If someone is willing to throw out a lot of silver, you Fangdao people will naturally not stop it. After Xiao Yuan'er put three silver tickets of fifty taels in front of him, he opened the wooden box under his hand and took out three pieces of yellow paper that seemed to be full of ghost drawings.
Xiao Yuan'er took it over, probably because she was really disgusted with the surrounding environment, and she didn't take a closer look at the things in her hand, so she went straight into her arms and walked out of the door.
Seeing their master come out, the three people who were originally blocking the crowd naturally didn't have to make much effort. Soon, there was another commotion.
Xiao Kite sat in the carriage and did not rush back to the house, and directly ordered the coachman to turn around and go to the Xiao Mansion.
The doll she had seen in the mother-in-law's house was almost ready, but she didn't know how long it would take for her mother to use it. She had better give this evil talisman to her eldest brother as soon as possible.
I made up my mind in my heart, and it was only then that Xiao Yuan'er remembered to take a good look at the three spirit runes.
It's just that things like rune paper are originally more mysterious, and in the eyes of ordinary people, you can only see a bunch of ghost drawn talismans, not to mention a daughter like Xiao Yuan'er who is in the deep boudoir.
She flipped through the rune paper in her hand several times, but she couldn't see any doorway, only that there was cinnabar on it. But after all, it took a full hundred and fifty taels to get it, and it was also related to Xiao Chumo's safety, so she naturally had to take care of it.
In fact, young ladies like Xiao Yuaner don't carry a lot of silver on their bodies on weekdays. Like the one hundred and fifty taels that Fang just took out, it is already very unprecedented.
She had planned to go to Tai'an Temple before, and the peace charms in Buddhist temples like this are generally not very expensive, and even if she is sincere enough, the host may send them directly. However, just in case, when she was about to leave the house, Xiao Yuan'er still went back to the room and took a silver ticket of two hundred taels.
Unexpectedly, before leaving the house, I heard the wandering people mentioned by the maids on the way. And that's what happened next.
"It's good that I brought some silver tickets before I went out, otherwise I would be afraid of losing face."
Xiao Yuan'er had a dark face, and pulled the handkerchief in her hand with some indignation.
But she wasn't to blame, after all, she had never seen a piece of rune paper sell for such a sky-high price before.
Being able to spend such a lot of money for Xiao Chumo, I have to say that while Xiao Yuan'er was worried about the safety of the former, she was more or less flattering.
Regarding Xiao Kite's actions, Xiao Chumo and Yu Panxi didn't know about it.
