The white-clothed old Taoist priest looked at Zhiqiu, who was full of disbelief, and was a little speechless for a while. It stands to reason that this teenage boy believes in some strange things the most, such as fortune-telling and the like, which teenager doesn't believe it? But he just met two teenagers in a row who didn't believe in the hexagram, the front Ji Zhengyi was okay, for a while I felt that the old Taoist priest was still quite worthy of belief, after all, this appearance is really "extraordinary", but since seeing the old Taoist priest's greedy appearance, Ji Zhengyi didn't believe it in his heart.

However, the young man who had always loved the Tao was convinced of the Taoist mantra that the old Taoist priest had made up that day.

But the young man in front of him was meeting alone for the first time, and he was right to be a little wary. After all, when he goes out, only Taoist priests, monks, old people and children can't believe it, but this young man who looks like a malnourished boy is obviously not a little guarded, but completely guarded, from the beginning he borrowed Ji Zhengyi's words to point out that the old Taoist priest is a liar, so that the old Taoist priest is psychologically prepared and can't easily deceive him. Then, after seeing that the content on the wooden stick was blank, he firmly believed in this point, and then when the boy said "liar" again, he would say it with reason: first, a friend said it before, so I will be wary of you ideologically, and second, no matter how well you explain the divination, but seeing is believing, I can't see the content of the wooden stick, then you are talking nonsense to fool me.

But the old Taoist priest still forgot a little, he thought about it so much for a while, and he may have forgotten a reason.

This teenager, he has money or will he be willing to spend it?

Since Zhiqiu came to Gusuzhou, he has deeply realized the importance of silver, but he didn't feel it in the capital before. Anyway, when the money is gone, just go back and ask the housekeeper who doesn't talk much, although after the mother knows, she will definitely be scolded. But fortunately, the silver must be enough, so you don't have to worry about what you want to buy.

But after coming to Gusuzhou, he was penniless and struggling, and even the house on Yushui Street was hit by his luck "with one punch and one kick".

In fact, Zhiqiu was rich at the beginning, and when he left Beijing, several "old people" secretly stuffed some silver to him, and the silver was naturally a lot, but he was robbed by robbers on the way to Suzhou. At that time, Zhiqiu was young and didn't know that there were pigeons arranged by his father around him, otherwise he would have been shouting for the pigeons to take revenge. But even so, the pigeons were ordered not to show up during the days when Zhiqiu left Beijing, unless their lives were in danger.

Therefore, the robbery of this young man's silver is a matter of ironclad anyway, Zhiqiu used to be quite generous, and spending a lot of money is naturally a common thing, so the restaurant shopkeeper in the capital likes this young master very much. But the world has changed, and now my hands are tight, and sometimes I can't even afford a few taels of wine and a few strings of sugar gourds.

Although it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift, Zhiqiu's innate optimism and the fact that he has been here for so many years, he has long been used to it, but well, this has also developed the character of "cherishing money as life" in Zhiqiu, and I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing.

The old Taoist priest was still spinning the beads in his hand, but he stopped from time to time, obviously thinking about countermeasures.

Zhiqiu was not to be outdone, so he simply sat on the chair of the old shopkeeper, regardless of whether it was Yan Yu'an's teacup or not, he drank it when he picked it up, but obviously the young man couldn't accept the bitter taste, and his face was not good-looking at all.

Finally, the old shopkeeper walked a few more steps, came to Zhiqiu, and said with a pleasant face: "This... Shaoxia, I see that you are magnificent, and your whole body reveals a different temperament from others, presumably Shaoxia must have been born in a rich and noble family, right?"

Zhiqiu's right hand, which was originally raising the teacup, trembled slightly.

He suddenly cheered up, smiled, and said in a serious voice, "Oh?

The old Taoist priest couldn't touch the young man's tone, but just now Zhiqiu's right hand trembled, and it didn't seem to escape his old spicy eyes. He cleared his throat, closed his eyes, made a calculation with his left hand, and said, "Well, poor Dao... Naturally, I calculated that the rich and noble family you came from must be unusual, there are countless servants in the family, ordinary people just don't dare to approach you, and even powerful people have to walk around when they see you. ”

After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he opened his right eye and secretly glanced at Zhiqiu.

Fortunately, I still remember these clichés, and I haven't said these words for a long time, but I am a little rusty.

Zhiqiu was a little skeptical at the moment, although it was too exaggerated to say that there were countless servants in the house, but the others seemed to have some truth, he thought about it, did not speak, and stared at the old Taoist.

After the old Taoist priest saw that Zhiqiu's hands were not crossed, of course he knew that this was a sign of slowly letting down his guard, so he took advantage of the victory and pursued: "Presumably Shaoxia, you must have offended a certain family force a few years ago, and even your family couldn't save you, so you came to this little Gu Suzhou, right?"

"If I'm not mistaken... You should come from some big family in the capital!"

The old Taoist priest's eyes seemed to burst out with a powerful light for a moment, staring at Zhiqiu deadly.

After Zhiqiu heard this, a cold sweat gradually rose on his back, and he took a few steps back, his feet inward, trying to escape from here quickly. He suddenly found that this old Taoist priest had almost explained all his life experience, and he almost said that he was the son of Shoufu by name.

Why does he know my background? He even knows the reason? Do you really calculate the hexagram? Zhiqiu had many thoughts in an instant, and he gradually became a little scared, he was afraid that someone from the capital came.

Three years ago, he did commit many things in the capital and offended many people. Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that his father, Ouyang Shoufu has offended more people, and there are not a few people who have formed mortal enemies, although most of them have been driven away, it is inevitable that Qiu will be afraid of some fish that will slip through the net.

Even the second prince only knew that he was in Gusuzhou a few months ago, although he did not change his name, but he had already hidden his surname, and Gusuzhou was 108,000 miles away from the capital, in the entire Yuanqing Empire, there were dozens of such cities, not to mention that ordinary people like themselves would not attract attention at all.

Therefore, in the past three years, his life has been extremely stable, and he has lived more comfortably than in the capital before. Although I don't know how many people the pigeon has handled for him secretly, Zhiqiu does know that there are really not many people who know his whereabouts.

But once his whereabouts are revealed, then his stable days are not far away.

Of course, the old Taoist priest didn't know what the young man in front of him who had already had the intention of running away was thinking. He just spent some days in the capital before, and he felt that this young man's accent was a little similar to that over there, and what other family conflicts he fled to Gusuzhou, which was naturally his own blind guess.

Isn't it because rich and noble families come to a small place for no reason?

The old Taoist priest suddenly saw the young man's feet slowly moving towards the bookstore, and then thought of the young man's expressionless face just now. Suddenly found that he had guessed correctly, and he felt a little more sure.

Today, this bead should be able to be sold.

The white-clothed old Taoist priest suddenly smiled "hehe" and said in a low voice: "I can naturally calculate your background, but there are a lot of people around here, and I don't want to say it." But now you always believe what I calculate, right?"

Zhiqiu was still expressionless, but his head still nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else, not even Ji Zhengyi, but... These beads." The old Taoist priest suddenly lowered his voice in Zhiqiu's ear.

Zhiqiu hesitated for a moment, and asked resignedly, "That.. How do you sell these beads?"

The old Taoist priest stretched out five fingers.

Zhiqiu's mouth opened wide, and after a few seconds, he turned his back and whispered: "Five taels of silver? old man, are you crazy? I won't buy it, if you want to tell it, tell it, anyway, it's nothing unusual, it's just a rich kid, it's more." ”

But this step has never been taken.

The old Taoist priest was a little shocked in his heart, sure enough, he was a child of a rich family, I was just taking a meal, but the price he wanted was so high? He originally only wanted 500 Wen, but he thought that this young man had left the family, and he really shouldn't have any silver in his hand, and 500 Wen was estimated to be a little difficult, so he pretended to hesitate, and after the young man was about to take the first step, he said loudly: "Shaoxia, seeing that the two of us are fated, I will sell you for 200 Wen today." ”

When Zhiqiu heard this, he stopped, he turned around and showed a triumphant smile: "Deal!"

The old Taoist priest sighed, and knew that it was cheap.

After Zhiqiu took the string of beads, he specially instructed the old Taoist priest not to tell the news that he was a child of a rich family, and the latter also nodded, saying that doing business is about integrity.

Immediately, the big and the small shook hands, and they separated.

As soon as the old Taoist priest left, Zhiqiu's smile slowly turned into a look of chagrin, he took the string of crimson beads and looked left and right, and then bit the beads with his teeth.

These two hundred wen bought this thing?

But fortunately, the young man comforted himself, it is better not to kill me, how good it is to use the wealth to eliminate the disaster, lest the old man leak my news.

Just as he was supporting his head with one hand and playing with the beads with the other, the eldest lady in the bookstore walked out with a hand behind her back, she saw the bead in Zhiqiu's hand, walked over and snatched it.

"What about that old man just now, why did you leave, could it be that you bought the beads from him?"

"Yes, I met a strange old man, and he said that he wanted to sell a string of beads, and that I was destined for him. ”

Zhiqiu's eyes rolled, and he continued to pretend not to care: "Look at your action, you can take this bead, and I bought it for you anyway." ”

After Yan Yu'an heard this, he looked at Zhiqiu with suspicious eyes, and the latter was a little weak-hearted, but fortunately, his eyes still did not dodge.

"Why don't I believe it?How can a person like you who loves money buy beads for me?" Yan Yu'an's tone was half-convinced, but a slight smile on his face betrayed her.

Zhiqiu didn't see that smile, but said lightly: "If you don't believe it, pull it down, return the beads to me, and I'll give it to Miss Yun." ”

After Yan Yu'an heard it, he actually stuffed the beads directly into his purse, rubbed Zhiqiu's head again, and said with a smile: "This bead, it's ugly, it's a little ugly, but it's also a part of your heart, and this girl naturally has to accept it." ”

Just the girl who likes to wear dark green clothes? Can she look good as me? And want to give her the beads?

After the eldest lady put on the beads, she jumped out of the yard.

Zhiqiu didn't care about the eldest lady's movements, and he didn't know why he suddenly said Miss Yun.

It seems that I should really give her the beads, but it's not right, this bead is really ugly, and I will buy a beautiful one for Miss Yun next time I have money.

However, can I still find Miss Yun again?

There was no wind or rain today, and there was a little sunshine, but the boy paced back to the bookstore.

Sunshine is reserved for people who are in a good mood.
