"Hahaha~" Xiao Qiu walked to Mr. Xiang's room and smiled secretly in a low voice, "Today's mood is really good!" It's a pity that this incense powder is not used by people. Thankfully, I was clever enough to move it halfway before it was wasted. I'm helping Mr. Xiang put an end to waste~"

Unconsciously walked to Mr. Xiang's door, Xiaoqiu looked inside, and saw Mr. Xiang reading quietly. Xiao Qiu took her head off the door frame and laughed quietly for a while, laughing so hard that she was about to break out. She wanted to release her laughter all at once, in case she accidentally laughed in front of Mr. Xiang and caused herself to be suspected.

I laughed for about five minutes.

"Smack." Xiaoqiu put the incense powder on the pear blossom wood piano table, "I finally bought it, I ran several streets, Qiu Ju is fragrant." Do you smell it, do you smell it? ”

"Oh?" Mr. Xiang smiled slightly, slowly unscrewed the lid, and his deep eyes looked at a box of scattered white powder, obviously two powders with different textures mixed together. He frowned, sighed, put the incense powder box in front of the guqin, and made a "pop" sound, which was twice as loud as Xiao Qiu's sound.

Although Xiaoqiu was startled by this voice, she still didn't forget to stretch out her arm towards Mr. Xiang: "Mr. Xiang~ This box of incense powder is a total of thirty yuan." She made a three-figure gesture with her right hand.

However, Mr. Xiang only carefully wiped the strings with a fine silk cloth, his eyes lowered, and ignored her.

"Mr. Xiang, return the money you paid for the incense powder to me." Xiaoqiu stretched out all her arms, trembled, and stomped her feet again, obviously her heart was a little flustered, and she was very worried that Mr. Xiang would not pay for it.

Mr. Xiang finally raised his eyes, looked at her meaningfully, and then looked at the incense powder box, and an imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "However, it seems that in addition to the inside of this box, there is a purer smell of autumn chrysanthemum powder elsewhere~"

"Where?" Xiaoqiu was a little panicked in her heart, pretending to sniff around. Smelling the wardrobe from the corner of the table, and from the closet to the windowsill, "I only smell a breath of freshness." ”

Mr. Xiang watched her act for a while, and really didn't want to watch it anymore: "Forget it, this box is just a gift from you!" I won't give you any money, and I won't hold you accountable. ”

"What? No, it cost me half a month's salary. "Xiaoqiu is really anxious.

"This adulteration of incense powder and flour cost you half a month's wages? Is this merchant a black store? Mr. Xiang looked at Xiaoqiu, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened slightly, but it was obvious that he was trying his best to hide it.

Xiaoqiu knew that she was recognized, and she felt the ridicule and ridicule of Mr. Xiang in her heart. But she only worked at the Xiaoxiang Music Pavilion, and Mr. Xiang has always been rumored to be the real owner of the Xiaoxiang Music Pavilion. Therefore, Xiaoqiu could only swallow her resentment stiffly, pouted, and looked at Mr. Xiang blankly: "Okay, I'll just invite you." ”

"Alas, I can only make do with it." Mr. Xiang sighed, "I hope you can be smarter next time." ”

Xiaoqiu walked to the backyard depressedly and kicked the bucket angrily: "This villain! Anyway, you have to give me half of the money! I didn't even give a penny. Iron Rooster! ”

This big bucket was originally repaired, but it was kicked by Xiaoqiu like this and broke again.

The clear water kept flowing out of it, scaring Xiaoqiu into a mess.

It wasn't until the water was all drained that Xiaoqiu came back to her senses, so she could only go to get the planks and tools again and repair them again.

In the distance, several crows croaked, pulling Xiaoqiu, who was addicted to mending buckets, out of the job.

"How long is this going to be?" Xiaoqiu looked up at the sky, the sunset had gradually faded, and the dark blue began to slowly roll in from the east.

"Mr. Xiang's evening performance is about to begin. I guess I won't be able to go. She shook her head, "Actually, I'd like to hear it." No, no, no, I don't want to listen to that villain's play, it's all a lie! ”

There was an endless stream of people outside the Xiaoxiang Music Hall, and the sound of conversation and laughter resounded throughout the street. Even some of the nocturnal merchants and vendors left their shops to come on purpose. It's all for Mr. Xiang's divination show. Mr. Xiang's magical divination has been passed on for months, but no one has ever actually seen his skills. The reason is simple, knowing that until now, no one has been able to make him have the desire for divination.

Outside the gate of the Xiaoxiang Music Hall, Mr. Xiang sat behind a mahogany table with the legendary guqin. There was a small servant standing next to him, who was sprinkling incense powder on the strings.

In the atmosphere of the faint aroma of autumn chrysanthemum and faint wheat mixture, Mr. Xiang is dressed in a black robe, with an unfathomable sense of mystery hidden under his upright features, his lips are tightly closed, and his dexterous fingers are hovering and plucking on the guqin.

The sound of this piano is sometimes melodious, sometimes high-pitched and exciting, and occasionally it seems to be a peak and a waterfall hanging. After a short opening recital, the audience erupted in applause.

There are even quite a few people who go up to offer flowers and fruits.

Mr. Xiang smiled evilly: "There is the first guest below, who will come first?" ”

The crowd began to rush forward. Some took out gold, some took out silver, and some took out heirloom jewels or title deeds. These people have only one purpose, and that is to let Mr. Xiang make a fortune for them.

There have long been rumors in the city that Mr. Xiang's hexagram benchmark. As long as someone is willing to tell him about the most important troubles in his heart, he will be able to divinate the hexagram and make the judgment that is most beneficial to the guest.

Most of the guests who came to ask for fortune came for money, and they hoped that Mr. Xiang would calculate for them how to make a fortune, so that they would be rich and wealthy in the future. These people were willing to give the money, but Mr. Xiang refused one by one.

This time, Mr. Xiang looked at these people with money, and still frowned: "Didn't you say it, I don't count wealth for people." I only count knots or obsessions. ”

The little guy next to him understood what Mr. Xiang meant, approached the crowd, and tried to persuade those who asked for divination for money: "Uncles, it's not that Mr. Xiang doesn't count it for you, but that money needs to rely on itself and luck, and Mr. Xiang can't do anything~"

When Mr. Xiang heard this, he immediately got up and patted the brim of the little girl's hat, slightly angry: "Can't you say something good about me?" ”

The little guy realized that he had said the wrong thing, and shouted to the crowd again: "It's not that Mr. Xiang is incapable of calculating fortune, but he doesn't want to change your life in this way. ”

"Since you can't count your fortune, what else can you count?" Someone in the crowd asked aloud.

"Count the knot or obsession! Didn't Mr. Xiang say it just now, it's only for you. ”

"What's the math of that thing?" A few people watching the excitement waved their hands and walked away with disgust on their faces. A few of them said: "This is obviously a deceptive trick, and Mr. Xiang is nothing more than that." ”

The crowd began to talk, and some of them cast suspicious glances at Mr. Xiang.

A voice asked, "How much does it cost to divinate a heart knot?" ”

The servant replied, "Twenty taels of silver." ”

The voice suddenly became disgusted: "It's so expensive! Who will spend money on this. ”

Mr. Xiang looked at the man, with a determination like a distant mountain in his eyes: "Of course there is, and there are quite a few." But...... Not everyone has that much money, so if your experience moves me, I won't take a penny. ”

"Do you want this kind of good thing?" Another man stared at Mr. Xiang and his piano with suspicious eyes, and walked over, "Then I'll be the first guest of the night." If my story moves you, don't take me money. If my story doesn't move you, I'll pay you twice as much! ”

Mr. Xiang smiled evilly again, and his eyes stared at the person: "Although I only entertain two guests today, I don't want to give you the opportunity to give you guests." So saying, he wiped the strings with a fine silk cloth.

The man's face was a little uncomfortable: "I'm sure my story will be able to move you, it's a big deal I'll pay three times the price!" ”

Mr. Xiang raised his head, leaned back in his chair, and looked at him: "Then it's decided." ”

The man told of his journey:

"When I was eighteen years old, I made a private agreement with the woman I loved. But his family disliked me for having no money, and did not plan to marry her to me. I made a promise with my beloved that after three years, I would come back and marry her after I had earned money.

However, three years later, I did make the money and came back, but my beloved was already married to someone else. Please tell me how I can get my beloved woman back for divination. When the man had finished speaking, he hid his face and was sad.

"That's it?" Mr. Xiang frowned and asked softly.

"That's it. What do you think? Not bad, isn't it? ”

"Forget it, in this case, I won't take your money, and I won't do divination for you. It's a pity~ The first opportunity was wasted by you! ”

"Why?"

"Because, your experience is not worthy of my divination for you, and your story is not what I want at all."

"I'm already sad about this, isn't that enough?"

"It's just that you're sad, but there's really no aura in this experience."

The man was angry when he heard this, and pointed at Mr. Xiang and scolded: "What do you think you are? Everyone says you have great powers, but until now, you have never helped anyone with divination, except for a few tricks! Every man comes to you and tells you what is on his mind, and asks you for divination, but you persuade them to go back. I think you're a liar! ”

The crowd suddenly fell silent, and everyone was quietly thinking about this man's words, and before long, they all began to shout: "Liar! ”

As soon as the bucket was repaired, Xiaoqiu came to see the excitement. She saw a few people fighting with those little guys, covered her mouth and snickered: "You deserve it, who made you so annoying." Hee-hee, show the horse's feet. ”

At this time, an extremely aura woman stepped forward: "Don't quarrel!" I believe in Mr. Xiang! I think Mr. Xiang has this ability. ”

Someone else smiled and said, "Don't be sentimental. There were also women who were trapped in love before, who came to ask Mr. Xiang to divinate for themselves. However, before the story was finished, he was blown away by Mr. Xiang. ”

The little guy looked a little unhappy: "What do you mean to bomb away?" What those people said was really not worthy of my husband's divination, so I asked him to leave. ”

Ignoring the opinions of others, the woman walked up to Qin: "Mr. Xiang, listen to my obsession." ”

Xiaoqiu looked at this woman carefully, her eyebrows and eyes were charming, her cherry mouth was small, and her figure was slender. Somehow, a sense of jealousy rose in her heart.

Xiaoqiu hurriedly ran forward, stretched out her arms in front of the qin, and tried to keep the woman away from the qin: "Hey, hey, this piano is an antique from the Qin Dynasty, you are so close, can you afford to pay if it breaks?" ”

Xiao Qiu looked at Xiao Qiu coldly and pulled him aside.

Xiaoqiu was angry: "What are you pulling me for?" ”

"People are guests, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense in front of them! In case Mr. Xiang's reputation is ruined, it is also caused by you. ”

"You're just talking nonsense! One person does things and one person does it, not to mention that I feel sorry for that piano! ”

"Why do you still say? Shut up! The little guy glanced at Xiaoqiu and turned his head away.

"Shut up, just shut up, I want to see what tricks this woman can come up with." Xiao Qiu looked at the woman angrily.
