In the pouring rain, the cool breeze penetrated the curtains, blowing the window paper into a drumming and concave, like a low and deep sigh. There was a faint sound of thunder from a long distance, Yin Jishan sat steadily, staring at Zhang Qiuming with knife-like eyes: "What are you carrying out Fu Heng for?" I told you, I was given a secret edict from Zhu Pi! What Fu Heng is not Fu Heng? I didn't even say anything to Fan Shijie and Dorji, I came to you directly, just because it was a 'secret', and you dared to explain a few words to the patrol leader and leave! 'Yizhihua' gathered people to rebel three times, spread cults in seven provinces, the imperial court spent a lot of manpower and financial resources to search and arrest province by province year by year, Liu Tongxun was tired of spending his hair, and the governor of Shanxi was demoted two levels for her escape, you are so contemptuous! Zhang Qiuming was able to hold on at first, although he stood with his hands down, his feet sometimes changed angles, and now his face was pale, his feet were parallel, and his waist was also bent down, and he said: "I already know the lowly position...... The humble post is to put the security in the province in order,...... The Criminal Department has written several times that we have the best weapon fighting murder case in the south of the Yangtze River, which is also a decent ...... for Taiwan."

"It's too late now. What are the secrets of the Patrol Department? You gave 'a branch of flowers' for half a month, she has a nest in Nanjing, silver, and personnel that we can't tell, not to mention the settlement, and the household registration file of Lao Jinling is also complete. You- how much have you added to the court? The more Yin Jishan spoke, the more angry he became, and Huo Di stood up. You leave me out! - You don't have to go to the Ya from tomorrow, you listen to the staff behind closed doors! ”

Zhang Qiuming's body trembled, and his frightened eyes quickly glanced at Yin Jishan, and then moved towards Fan and Dao, and saw Dorji's face looking at the calligraphy and painting between the walls. Fan Shijie stilted Erlang's legs and concentrated on removing his nails, knowing that he couldn't count on the two of them to intercede. wanted to leave, but was unwilling, he raised his head suddenly and said:

"Yin Yuanchang, remove my official, do you have this right?"

"I didn't say anything about dismissing you. You can't do it, I told you to go back and listen to the ginseng! ”

"I have been reporting outstanding for three consecutive years, and the Ministry of Officials has a file for the examination of merit!"

"You're a clown!" Yin Jishan shouted, "I'll save you decency - if you don't leave, I'll tell you to go out!" As he spoke, he shouted, "Someone!" ”

Hearing the footsteps of Goshha under the porch outside, Zhang Qiuming knew that it would be even more humiliating to hold on, so he stared at Yin Jishan viciously, and a sentence burst out from between his teeth: "I have to thank you for making the stage!" He rushed out the door without waiting for Goshha to come in. Only then did Dorji say: "Making, he is still talented." It's just that people are frivolous. I see that I am very careful in front of you. This...... That's too severe, isn't it? ”

"This is really a good character who licks his ass in the ditch, and Lao Dao even intercedes for him!" Fan Shijie shook his leg and said, "What's so hard to guess about his mind? It's just because the head of the Yuan wants to adjust the two Guangzhou. It's a good calculation, he's a man of retribution, I'm old, and Dorji has just been promoted from abroad, and he can at least jump to the governor's seat, or even the acting governor's yamen. Dorji rubbed his nose and smiled: "That's too whimsical, jumping three levels in a row, how can there be such a good thing for him?" Yin Jishan said: "I was angry that he mistook my messenger." Zhang Qiuming is a bit of a rudder, and he is not so shallow-eyed! I'm transferred, not deposed, isn't he afraid that I'll be transferred back? ”

Fan Shijie snorted and said, "Yuan Chang, you can't see through it. The young man is in a high position, and he does not have a deep understanding of the filthiness of the officialdom below. Some time ago, there were rumors that you were the emperor of Jiangnan, and that the officials were the officials of the Yin family, and they listened to your command. If you dare to be afraid, he will think that the emperor has suspicions about you. Speaking of transfers, from complicated to simple, I don't understand that it proves that his idea is reasonable? He doesn't do what you arranged, and he doesn't have any great malice, just leave it aside. Dorji suddenly said with a smile: "The Han people are soft and cunning, my grandmother told me, I don't think I came out to fight, the more I see it as a civil official, the more I see it, this kind of ghost heart, half of it is on the errand, I don't know how good things are in the world!" I've never been afraid of fighting on the battlefield, and when I think about these Han people secretly, I'm inevitably shocked! Glancing at Fan Shijie, he smiled and said, "Old Fan, don't be offended, of course you should be different." ”

"The strange Ha Panlong told me to beware of the villains around you." Yin Jishan's eyes flickered, "He said that someone here wrote to him, insinuating that I was wrong." He also praised his relatives and said many kind things - it turned out to be this person! This bastard is such a thing! You have all seen it with your own eyes, or the person I picked it up with one hand, and in less than ten years, he has become a member of the county, what is there for him not to live? Fan Shijie said coldly: "This is not something that can be tolerated or not. It's in his nature. Mr. Wu was in Nanjing, and he and I chatted about the 12 techniques of officialdom. This hand is famous, called - worship the Buddha across the mountain! ”

Yin Jishan originally wanted to change the topic, listening to the name of this "Twelve Techniques of Ascending the Dragon", he felt fresh, and couldn't help laughing: "Lao Fan has a dog treasure in his belly, and he has only taken it out now!" It's unheard of, please tell me more! Fan Shijie smiled and said: "The twelve techniques, there are positive and vice, flat and strange, and they should be divided into two categories. The first type is for licking hemorrhoids, and the second type is for selling non-turtle hand medicine. Dorji said: "This name is strange! Yin Jishan said: "This 'licking hemorrhoids' class has been taught, it must be a meaning of greeting, but those who can't sell turtle hand medicine can't think about it for a while." ”

"Someone offered a prescription for the King of Chu, this medicine is called non-turtle hand medicine, and it can prevent frostbite when applied to the hands. The army of the king of Chu was in the south, and it was freezing to fight in the north, and the hands of the soldiers were not cracked. That's why it's called 'selling can't be tortoise'. Qian Du smiled and said, "This licking hemorrhoids-" Before he finished speaking, Yin Jishan had already laughed, "I already know that if you can't make turtle hand medicine, the king of Chu will reward the car for five rides; The king of Chu had hemorrhoids, and some people licked his hemorrhoids for treatment, thinking that they 'loved me', so they had to ride a hundred times. This is from "Zhuangzi" - there is a canon, good! Only then did Dorji understand and said with a smile: "Even the promotion skills are set in sets, which is really amazing!" King Chu is wise! Those who don't offer turtle hand medicine will be rewarded with five rides, and those who lick their butts will be rewarded with one hundred rides! Yin Jishan said again: "That's natural, because although the turtle hand medicine is good, it is useless to the king of Chu; Lick the hemorrhoids, he will be very useful - Shi Jie, you haven't said anything about the twelve techniques of promotion and dragon climbing! ”

Fan Shijie looked at the dark rainy night outside through the curtain, pointed rhythmically with his fingers, and said word by word: "The Twelve Techniques of Promoting Officials and Ascending Dragons, also known as 'Officialdom Secrets in the Room', have - robbery and taking advantage of the momentum, flooding the golden mountain, surging banks, smiling and falling into the city, bending the bow of the cliff, farewell to the overlord, drinking and drunk, worshiping the Buddha across the mountain, spilling tears in Linqing, fishing and killing families, squeezing oil in the stone, carving the bow and wolf, etc. For example, if you are a county order, the next step is to promote Tongzhi, never take the door of Tongzhi, and pull the top boss of Tongzhi to beat Tongzhi, and the strength will make it hot; When the same governor wants to be promoted to the prefect, he must pull the prefect's boss to hit the prefect; When you become the prefect, you will never stammer with the platform, you must directly contact the three law divisions and kick the platform off! In this way, if you are promoted step by step, you will always be set up by the boss in the next layer, and you will get rid of the top boss and come up by yourself. So Zhang Qiuming used to scold you, because at that time he was still Hangzhou Dao, thinking about the lack of the Yamen; Now he is thinking about the governor and the governor, so he must go to worship Fu Heng and the 'Buddhas' of Fu Heng and his relatives across your 'mountain'. If you think about it, is what I said wrong? Yin Jishan laughed and fell, thinking about Zhang Qiuming's resume, it was indeed like this, and he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Wu is really a generation of masters, and he understands the hearts of the world's lovers!" I just don't understand, 'squeezing oil in the stone', it must be a job of doing errands, being outstanding, and then seeking a performance appraisal and promotion? "N-yes! Where did you think of it! Fan Shijie said, "Squeezing oil in the stone is for the sake of Shangguan, and he thinks more thoughtfully than Shangguan himself." This is specifically for confused bosses. The boss is shrewd, and in front of the boss he will be 'like an idiot', and the shrewd person will not tolerate the shrewd, so he must play the fool - the right big fool. You are humble in front of a shrewd person, and he thinks that you have no city and can be relied on, so he will promote you to an official! ”

"And then—what about drunk?" Dorji asked.

"Drinking and getting drunk is pink kung fu." Yin Jishan replied with a smile from the side: "Su Wunu married a wife very beautifully that day, and everyone wanted to get drunk and tease his wife, but they couldn't get drunk. The five slaves said, 'As long as you give more money, you will drink the batter soup, and I will be drunk, so why should I pour wine?' A sentence made Dorji laugh. Qian Du patted his knee with a fan bone and said with a smile: "My students read a lot!" It's better to be ashamed than Mr. Wu! Listening to the teachings of 20 years earlier, today's official position is not below the second duke of Yin Fan! ”

Everyone talked and laughed for a while, Yin Jishan took out his pocket watch and looked at it, and said: "The matter of Tongzheng must not be mistaken, it is all handed over to Lao Fan." Copper from Yunnan should be transported over as soon as possible. Qian Du and the two brothers will take a look at our coinage division first, and if the fan is not enough, we can make some more. I can't cast it for a while, so I put the copper ingot in the treasury - if you can trust me, I won't use it to cast bronze. Everyone stood up and resigned, and Qian Du smiled: "Of course you won't, I also want to impeach you for those bronzes in charge of the treasury." Is that copper? It was congealed from the miners' blood! I'm already soft on killing! ”

"Don't worry." Yin Jishan slowly sent the guests to the corridor, saw everyone go out, looked at the pocket watch again, called Goshha and ordered: "Call the Nanjing City Gate Leader and the Jiangning Prefect, um...... There is also a pipe belt of the Xuanwu Lake Water Division in the Jiangnan Daying, which is limited to a meeting here within one hour. ”

Qian Du was worried about the Yunyun of Caifenglou in his heart, but he didn't dare to delay the serious messenger, and from the next day, he went to see Fan Shijie, delivered the copper and silver, signed the seal, and went to the silver warehouse to check the fineness of the silver, packed and sealed it, and supervised everything, all accompanied by Daoerji. Seeing him look at them one by one, Dorji was meticulous in his account drawing, and he didn't find fault with it after all, and said with a smile: "It's really worthy of the money 'devil'!" Our Jiangning silver ingots have been used for hundreds of years, and you are still asked to pick out the lack of color? Qian Du smiled: "This is called a villain first and then a gentleman." This time, I know the old bottom of your Jiangnan Domain, and the big oak boxes in the back library are all ingots, right? I think 20 million taels will not be poor for you - where did you get so much money? ”

"Just look over there." Dorji smiled, pulled Qian Du along the ladder to the top of the library sentry box, pointed to the edge of Xuanwu Lake, and said: "You see, there are more than 300 weaving workshops by Xuanwu Lake alone, and to the north is 3,000 hectares of mulberry forest. - If you look further north, the area covered by the fog by the river is the Jinling Wharf, and tens of thousands of short-term workers are carrying coolies. Tea, as well as Jiangxi porcelain, packed on the ship for export, a boat of draft is full, a boat of porcelain can be exchanged for a small half of a boat of silver, silver as soon as it is imported from that road into silver ingots. It's all in the oak box you said! Yuan Chang said that making money from the Chinese is called a nest cannon, not a skill. Earning foreign gold dollars and silver dollars is really capable! In the past three or five years, the customs gold is more than ten times that of Kangxi's heyday! Yuan Chang, that's really capable, we can't bear to let him go! Qian Du couldn't help but sigh and said, "There is a Li Youyu in front of you, and another Yin Yuanchang, Jiangnan people are really blessed." I thought you were still pointing to Qinhuai River to collect the night tax of the prostitute! "Li Wei's intelligence comes from nature, Yin Gong's talent is high, and he is studious, which is different." Dorji said: "It's a pity Li Wei, the day before yesterday Di reported that he was critically ill and had been left behind, so it seems that he is useless." A man who is only forty-six years old is making a contribution! ”

"Don't talk about people." Qian Du thought about Li Wei's illness, he used to be kind to himself, but now he can't take care of it in the next day, he can't help but feel sour in his heart, and said: "Li Shiyao has arrived in the past few days, and to transport grain by land, at least a thousand carts must be transported first, and the waterways are slowly successive, and it is not a trivial matter to levy cars and boats-and mule-horse coachmen, all of which must be complete." He was very meticulous and fast, and if he was sluggish here, he immediately reported to Fu Liuye, and it was not interesting to reprimand. I think Lao Dao is also a sincere person, so I will give you a reminder. From tomorrow onwards, we will look at your coinage furnace one by one, and then I will write an excerpt to echo the emperor. ”

Dorji took Qian Du down the steps and walked down the sentry box, and said with a smile: "Aren't you in a hurry?" Urging us to turn the Taiwanese people on their backs! Yours is also in the twelve techniques of officialdom Denglong, right? Qian Du said with a smile: "It can be regarded as a category that can't sell turtle hand medicine, and it may not be good to be busy and tired." Some people are born blessed. For example, that Xiao Lu, at most, is just a material to listen to, I heard that Yuan Chang has already played the big man who shook his head [1]

, acting like a woman, without any opinions, talking and shouting, I really don't know which one Yuan Chang likes him! Dorji smiled and said, "You don't understand this, do you?" Xiao Lu was recommended by Zhang Zhongtang. Although Zhang Hengchen doesn't care about things now, after all, he is the prime minister of peace for forty years, and Yin Yuanchang can't help but buy this account! This time to escort the grain, Xiao Lu still has to go, Xiao Lu has no big skills, he is low and hard-working, and he does not make trouble with others, and this advantage is also rare. Look, he is still indispensable in the military merit protection case! ”

Qian Du shook his head with a smile as he walked: "Confused account, confused account......" and said: "I passed Mochou Lake before and saw the palace, which is really magnificent." I'm free every few days, please take me on a tour, okay? I saw that the project had been completed and taken over by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The emperor went to Chengde and came back, and with a will, he changed the guard of the Imperial Forest Army, and it was difficult to go in and see it. "Okay." Dorji walked leisurely and sighed, "As soon as you talk about Chengde, I think of the Horqin steppe, of the vast flocks of sheep and horses—like the white clouds and dark clouds fluttering on the green sea. Horse racing, wrestling, and arrow competitions at the Nanadam Conference...... No matter how close or intimate people are, they can say whatever they have in their hearts...... There are also spirits and famous horses...... It's not that I'm talking about Han people in front of you, Han people, it's better to deal with brutes than to mix in this pile of people! Qian Du laughed and said, "Good scolding! If you really want to lead the troops, you can tell the master that I am the bookkeeper, and I can't take care of this level. Tell you, Fu Liuye wants to lead the troops, you might as well build the road at Uncle Guo, and you will have your name when the time comes, and then it will be a matter of course. Saying that, they had arrived outside the door pavilion of the big warehouse, and the two said goodbye.

At this time, it was already a moment of noon, Qian Du had no relatives and friends in Nanjing, returned to the yamen of the Governor's Office, and was tired of eating the food of the big house, and was embarrassed to order side dishes, thinking that there was nothing to do in the afternoon, so he rented a bright boat in Xuanwu Lake, bought some watermelon grapes, and ordered a few seasonal side dishes, took the boat by himself, threw three coins and silver horns to the captain, and wandered around on the boat. But seeing the willow color on the shore of the lake, curling like smoke, countless waterfowl or soaring and circling the water to feed, or floating among the wild lotus and flapping their wings to chase. The sky and water are endless, recalling his memories of the past, from being a master with Tian Wenjing, thinking of the night in Texas to flee in a hurry, defecting to Li Wei and then to Liu Tongxun's door, and in the middle of the fireplace discussion with Emperor Qianlong, and personally went to the execution of Khalchin, and traveled to Yunnan copper smelting and whole mines, for a while full of sadness, and for a while the blood is rushing, it is really a mixture of feelings, unconsciously I have seen the Jinwu Chui Lake, three bottles of jade pot spring actually drank two bottles. Qian Du didn't drink much, but he was already drunk. The captain helped him to the shore, and walked along the shore for half a mile, the cool breeze was blowing, and he became more and more dizzy, leaning on a big rock on the shore and vomiting for a while, and then washing with the lake water, only to feel that the boredom between the chest and diaphragm had disappeared, but he was still dizzy and weak. When I woke up, I realized that I was on the small street on the north shore of Xuanwu Lake, and it was already dark all around. He was dizzy and searched for a sedan chair in the streets full of small vendors. I asked a few places, and they all said that this area is full of poor people, and there are no bars. And when he saw that the streets were full of mules and horses with cocoons, he went and rented horses, and he wanted to go into the city.

"Ouch! Isn't this Qian Ye? ”

Suddenly there was a woman's voice behind him, Qian Du turned around, looked at it for a long time, and then saw it, and said with a smile: "It's Mother Cao!" Why did you get here, don't you do business over there in Fengcailou? ”

Cao Bustard was wearing a piping real gauze moon white coat, twisting her waist with a smile on her face, and said: "Master go back to Jinling to have fun on this water pool alone!" I thought I forgot about our Caifeng Building! That's the case, the land over there in Fengcai Building is expensive, and it can't be expanded. I think I'm too old to open a century-old house? When I am old, I also want to eat a bowl of decent rice. The weaver here pays tribute to the silk, and he is a serious businessman, so he also opened a workshop, and he has a serious home when he is old. Master Qian, see that you are drunk, look at the grass knots on your body and head. Rest in my house and go back to the city tomorrow! Qian Du didn't want to go any more at the moment, so he said, "Then just find a place to rest." Ming'er, I still have something to do, you tell Yunyun, I'll go to see her tomorrow night. As soon as Cao Bustard heard Yunyun, she took out a scarf to wipe her tears, and said in a choked voice: "This child is not blessed, and it is easy to look forward to a good life in a hard life, who knows that he will go!" She sold to me when she was twelve...... It's pitiful, my father and mother are gone, and my brother and sister-in-law can't afford to support her......"

"Yun Yun is dead!" Qian Du stopped, as if he had been thundered and lightning. His already pale face glowed blue, and he stared at the bustard like a knife, "I'm afraid that someone is harming her, right?" She's rich, and I'm not around, so she's eye-catching, isn't it?! Cao Bustard was so frightened by his aura that she trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, where are you suspicious!" If I hurt Yunyun, I can't hide from you, do I dare to greet you? If you want to say that someone is harming, I will say something mean, or your Uncle Qian has hurt her! Qian Du was stunned for a moment, and felt that what Cao said was not unreasonable, so he asked, "How did she die?" ”

"Difficult birth."

"Difficult to deliver!" Qian Du exclaimed, and his whole body shook violently, "Who's?" ”

"I don't need to ask!"

"Is it a son, is it a daughter?"

"It's a big fat boy, suffocated to death in his belly......"

"My son? My son! Qian Du suddenly felt confused in his heart, his head slammed to the ground, he shouted and stopped in a gaffe, raised his head, looked at the dark purple night sky, and lowered his head for a long time before he said sadly: "She went and took my ...... Son...... Our Qian family is already difficult in terms of heirs, and it has been passed down from generation to generation...... Tie the ...... like a gossamer My wife gave birth to three daughters, and she also gave birth to a son who died in childbirth...... Could it be that God told me that the Qian family would never succeed? Ah......h

Cao Bustard was silent, listened to him quietly, and said slowly: "This is no way. However, there is a Taoist priest named Buxu here, who is the master of Zixia Temple, who can play the gods to exorcise ghosts, and know people's life and death. Several weaving workshops in the vicinity have been haunted at night recently, and the female ghosts are whimpering and crying in the middle of the night, and the female workers in my workshop are so frightened that they gather together all night and dare not close their eyes. I also want to invite him to a town. Since you are here, it is also fate, so I will ask him to show you the eight characters, okay? As he spoke, he had turned into a dark alley, and saw someone with a lantern to greet him, but it was Shi Cheng, the king of Fengcai Tower. Seeing that it was Qian Du in his hand, Shi Cheng smiled and narrowed his eyes into a slit, and said, "My lord, this little calf's nose is really a bit of a doorway!" I wondered why my grandmother hadn't come back after coming out for so long. And he went out to meet him. Buxu told me, you met a noble person on the road, and came back together, I still don't believe it, dare to love is true! Please, please ......" and lead the way in front with the lights on.

So Qian Du followed and walked inside, weaving through the alleys like the Ecstasy Array. This seems to be the world of looms, and every few zhang, at most, a dozen zhang will see a dim lamp hanging on the door, illuminating the road in front of the door full of sewage. What is written on the lamp Wangjia Weaving Workshop, Cai Family Weaving Workshop, and He Family Weaving Workshop...... The sound of rolling looms rang out. Qian Du couldn't help asking: "With such a narrow road, how can the cocoons be transported in, and how can the fabric be transported out?" ”

"That's all from the back door, into the cocoon, transport silk, all hit Xuanwu Lake to and fro, it's very convenient!" Cao Buduard smiled: "This side is for workers to enter and exit, and there is a pond of livestock dung and urine everywhere, so it is difficult to leave." ”

"There are some women kneeling in front of someone's house, what's going on?"

"It was a violation of the rules, and he was thrown out of the workshop and punished for kneeling. They are all refugees, they don't know how to live, and they don't have a backer - the troubles here are endless! There are old workers above the new workers, and there are masters on the top, Namo, layer by layer, and they can be treated as they want! ”

Qian Du has been relieved from the grief of Yun Yun's death, and sighed: "Rolling a thousand voices are not full of feet, who is the weaver and who is the clothier?" It's not easy! Is your weaving workshop so ruthless? "The old owl in the world is as black as everybody, you are not ruthless, the price of other weaving workshops is lower than yours, who do you sell it to?" Cao Bustard smiled and said: "Master, you just wear Ayadailuo, what do you care about him!" As he spoke, he came to the door of a weaving mill, and saw a beige watermelon lamp, but the door was wider than the others, and there were five or six women kneeling, the eldest of them was about forty years old, and the younger one was only twelve or thirteen years old, all of them were covered in filth. Cao Bustard crossed the threshold and said, "Let's all get up and do the work, tell the leader and say that I called it back—go, go!" ”

The female workers kowtowed with a thousand thanks, and Qian Du followed him into the patio, only to see that it was a wide and spacious courtyard, Qingtang Tile House, and there were eight-sided palace lamps hanging on the overhanded verandah around it. Qian Du entered the room and said, "It's not good to be too strict." You should know how to be lenient and severe, and your silk will be woven as fast as you can, and if you don't believe it, try it. They hate you in their hearts, and they have nothing to do with you, so they make a small stumbling block, break a machine comb today, weave a cloth tomorrow, and force women to kill people - there are several embroidery workshops in Suzhou, the owner of the workshop gave birth to a son, and the son's little cock was quietly twisted and broken, and he was born a eunuch - he can't kill you, people have to suffer, and it costs money to cure diseases. Wouldn't it be better if you had this money for the workers to eat, and then you would be given double the work? Cao Bustard smiled and said: "Master Qian's family is going to make money every day!" You are so good at settling accounts, sir, I have seen thousands of people, but you are not as detailed. "I'm not going to make money every day!" Qian Du's alcohol was half of his alcohol at the moment, because he saw a Taoist priest sitting in the hall, he knew that it was Bu Xu, so he said: "But it's not mine, it's just - this Taoist master, it must be Bu Xu?" As he spoke, he looked at it, and saw that Bu Xuan had his hair in a high bun, wearing a Lei Yang scarf, wearing a dark robe, about twenty years old, his face was like a crown of jade, his bearing was not bad, and a pair of small pupils were shining, staring at people as if he wanted to see people in the cracks of his bones. Qian Du said solemnly: "The immortal young man is famous, and he has not admired it for a long time!" I heard that he is good at wind appreciation, maybe he will take a look at it for me? ”

Buxu had already stood up, calmly waved to Qian Du, and sat down in his robe, and Cao Bustard only sat on a low seat on the side, and ordered someone to send snacks and tea. Buxu said: "My lord is a noble celestial watch, why use Taoist raps?" Tonight, the Taoist priest specially cleaned the room for the weaving workshop, exorcised ghosts and demons, and wanted to be quiet. The layman is interested, what about tomorrow? Cao Bustard smiled beside her: "Master Qian still has tolerance tomorrow!" The incense framing shop said that the big sandalwood had been invited, and it was made overnight, and it was only delivered tomorrow morning. Since you met here, it is fate, why don't you show the master? Qian Du said with a smile: "It's also a quick thing to talk about life." The gentleman asks whether the murderer asks the good or not, and the Taoist chief just has to say boldly! ”

"That's presumptuous." Buxu said. He stood up, moved the candlestick to Qian Du's side, glanced at Qian Du seriously, pinched his fingers and chanted, lowered his eyes and pondered, and said: "The layman's heart is upright, Saturn is bright, and he has the joy of being promoted to the rank of knight recently." With white ears and black faces, the main layman is famous all over the world, but Wenchang is not bright, and you are not famous by the article. You are a wealthy official, you started from money. Seven or seven are desperate places, six or eight Ding Wang meet, and it is very difficult for the heirs. As far as fame is concerned, it is handed over between 59 and 69, and the destiny of heaven is known in the near future, and from now on, there are still ten years of good officials to do. But your pavilion is dark, and there is no difference between fate. Officials can't be the best, and it's difficult to climb up the ladder; Wealth can't be strong in all directions, and sigh in vain at the copper mountain. Knowing its entry and guarding its exit, knowing that it can't be done. Shu Ji Kangning for a lifetime. "Let's just eat tea.

Qian Du was silent when he heard this. Cao Pozi said: "That's it? I don't really understand. You just said that 'there are steps and it is difficult to pick up steps', doesn't that look like a ladder can't be climbed? What does this mean? Isn't it even stranger that you can't get rich when you have a mountain of copper? "Can't you trust me?" Bu Xu's eyes were like lightning, fleeting, and he said to Cao Bustard: "Let me tell you about the things in front of Qian Jushi - your sun and moon are dark, you lost your mother at the age of six, and you lost your father at the age of ten. Died in different years, but on the same day of the same month. Born in different years, but died at the same age, the fate is incomparably strange. You grew up with your uncle's parents, and when you entered school at the age of nineteen, you learned that they were not biological parents. I won't say anything about the official career behind you, your hairline is pressed against your eyebrows, the heavenly court is not wide, and the Lord has water misfortune. You've been drowned in water at least three times, but you don't know if there is? You have been at your uncle's house for nine years and have treated you like a parent, but your aunt later gave birth to twin brothers, and she had the heart to drive you out. You haven't been back in so many years away from home. I also regret this. But when you come, the grace of nine years of nurturing will be thrown away, which is called forgetting the great kindness of people, and calculating people is too small, so God has a punishment for cutting Lu. Ten years of luck, you should retreat bravely from the rapids, repay the love of these nine years, and only then will you be safe in this life! The more Qian Du listened, the more he admired inexplicably, and he even understood these little-known things a little bit. He blushed a little, and sipped tea to cover up: "Mr. is smart!" I said I don't care about words. However, I still have no heirs, and I still ask my husband for guidance, how can I crack it, how can I get a son? ”

"There is a reason for everything. There is no reason to do childless, and there is no reason to do childless. Buxu said, "You have a son in your life." It's a pity that you have killed too many people, and the tomb in front of the door is full of unjust souls, and no one dares to reincarnate. I will write a talisman for you, and you send it home, or take your wife out, burn it for her, and pour it with realgar wine, and see what happens. After that, he got up, went to the table and lifted the cinnabar pen, thought for a while, and drew a talisman with the pen and the dragon and snake. Give it to Qian Du. Qian Du took it carefully with both hands, folded it up and put it in his sleeve, took out five taels of Nanjing coins and put them on the table, and said: "Some of the assets of incense are not respectful." I am willing to make friends with the Taoist chief, and I will definitely go to the temple to thank you on the other day, and there are many consultation offices. Buxu was not inferior, gladly took the silver, and said to Cao Bustard: "When you just entered the door, Qian Ye's words to persuade you are all wise words, with the word 'Li' on the head, not my Taoist patriarchy, but the benevolence and compassion are heavenly principles. I saw your house, and it turned out to be a mass grave. If it weren't for the fact that other weaving workshops are forcing people to death every day, and there are alternatives, you would have had a big incident here a long time ago. There is nothing to do tonight, you and two people send me back to Shangqing Temple, I have a pure heart in the view, I will eliminate my sorrow here for you, and also get rid of the filth for Qian Ye. Then he got up and took his leave. Qian Cao went straight to the alley, and watched Shi Cheng send the two little servants to send them away.

Qian Du came back with Cao Bustard, and when he looked at the watch, he was pointing to three o'clock, and Cao's was going to come to fruit tea again. Qian Du asked Yunyun about the situation after saying goodbye, only to know that it was a blood collapse after dystocia. This is a tricky illness for the doctor, and he has no choice but to accept his fate. I heard Cao Shi say that Yun Yun was dying and talking about herself, afraid that she would be killed by the Tongshan miners in Yunnan, and Qian Du fell into tears again. The people who have been mixed in the courtyard of Cao Bustard for 18 years are the most Xiaoyi'er, while comforting Qian Du, while taking snacks, and twisting hot towels to wait for Qian Du, Qian Du is happy again. Cao Bustard took the opportunity to enter the port, and said with a smile on her brows: "Master Qian, you are too stupid!" When a person dies like a lamp goes out, he treats her wholeheartedly before he is alive. Why be so sad? Your body and bones matter! As he spoke, he wiped it up, wiped Qian Du's sweat with a sweat towel, and gently pressed Qian Du's shoulders with his chest intentionally or unintentionally. Qian Du is a single man, and he can't help but be a little tempted. Yin smiled: "I see that you are a little bit of a wave." I'm not in the mood for now! Go back to sleep! ”

"When I go back, I'm a widow, and you'll be an orphan." Cao Budiard pursed her lips and smiled, "How lonely is that?" If you think I'm not good-looking, let's guess the riddles and joke and fall asleep, how about it? Qian Du has never paid attention to her, at this time, under the lamp, Cao Bustard is less than forty years old, with shaved shoulders and thin waist, towering breasts, white and delicate wrists and arms like teeth and jade, and a little fish scale fine lines at the corners of his eyes, which cannot be seen under the lamp at all. At this time, the mother-in-law was on the **, her cheeks were red, and her eyes were affectionate. Qian Du smiled: ", the charm is still there!" The boss picks up customers, it must have a special flavor. Cao Bustard was like a glue candy, sticking softly to Qian Du's body, and blew out the light with a "poof", "Come on...... It's 500 years of fate......"

Qian Du screamed and slammed her underneath......

Shaking his head: that is, "Tongzhi", because his status is slightly lower than that of the prefect and has no actual power, the county officials want to salute when they see him, but they shake their heads behind their backs.
