An autumn breeze is cool, and it is another autumn.

When he got up early to practice swords, he accidentally destroyed the seventh wooden sword, Ding Dang, Ding Zhenyuan finally went out to find a deal for money.

In the streets and alleys, there are people who open their doors to do business, ready-to-wear shops, tailor shops, teahouses, restaurants, inns, cooking cakes, jewelry and jewelry, pawns, money houses, carriages and horses......

In the morning, he wandered around the streets, and almost every store had a business, and he had a general idea of the store in his heart.

"These livelihoods look good, but it's a pity that the money is still too slow, and the cultivation needs to be filled in with gold and silver, otherwise you will have to survive......

Thinking of himself and his sister's gray-haired appearance, Ding Dang shuddered, shook his head, and strode forward.

It wasn't until he sat in a teahouse on the street that the bad idea still lingered in front of him.

Sitting down in a seat against the door, he ordered a pot of herbal tea, and as he poured himself a drink, he muttered:

"What do you do to make sure you don't lose money and make huge profits?"

The old man next to him listened to this, grinned a mouthful of gold-inlaid teeth, and answered with a smile:

"How can there be so many good things in the world that still make a profit without losing money?

"If you have to say anything, of course it is to be an official, and it is better to be a big official! As the saying goes, three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. Isn't this just a profiteering deal that is sure to make money without losing money! ”

Ding Dang's eyes lit up, and he was a little moved, but he still drank a large bowl of herbal tea slowly, left a few copper horns on the table, and then checked out and left.

"I want to be an official!"

……

Under the cover of night, the prefect is in the back office.

In the study, the prefect was dressed in regular clothes, dressed like a rich man, sitting on the side of the table, holding an agate bracelet in his hand.

Opposite him sat a blind old man, dressed in a shabby robe with sewn and patches, with a bun on his head, and a branch that had been shaved off the bark of a tree as a hairpin.

But the prefect didn't dare to underestimate him, this blind man was rumored to have opened his yin and yang eyes, and he could see things that ordinary people couldn't see.

"Master, what do you think of my official fortune? Is there a chance to be promoted? My evaluation for the past two years has been in the middle and upper, and my cousin also said that he would run it for me, and I heard that there is a long history in the state to retire tomorrow, and there is a vacancy. ”

The prefect looked at this blind old man expectantly, and didn't wait for him to ask, and confided in himself first.

"Master, do you think this thing can be done?"

There was silence in the study, only the sound of the blind old knuckles tapping on the table, not in a hurry, again and again, as if knocking on the prefect's heart.

He didn't dare to urge, just waited patiently.

If other charlatans dared to pose in front of him, he would have let the family members be thrown out of the door.

But this one is different, this one has real skills, if he hadn't pointed him out six years ago, he wouldn't have climbed to this position so quickly.

"Hmm······· I can't say that there is no hope, but there is not much hope. ”

The blind man said calmly.

"With your own pattern, climbing to the head of a mansion is already the limit, and if you want to force it to go further, it's difficult, it's difficult!"

Then, with a change of voice, he said;

"Unless—"

A well-maintained right hand was spread out, stretched out five fingers, and shook it.

The prefect very intimately handed over a stack of bills, all of which were bearer silver bills of one hundred taels.

This is the rule of looking for this master to point out, clearly mark the price, and charge the key point.

After receiving the money, the old blind man was obviously more enthusiastic, nodded, and without counting, he took the silver ticket into his arms.

"In fact, if you want to go further, the best way is to worship the door of the central government, cast a prayer post, and walk around more, the prefect of Wupin is not small in the local area, but it is inconspicuous when you arrive in the capital. Of course, you've already done this, but your sister is in the right place! ”

"The master pointed out that this way is not easy to find! I've been active a lot of times, but I haven't heard from me! ”

The prefect was also bitter, and when he found someone, he poured it out.

"I'll show you a clear path, the Great General's Mansion seems to be looking for the white fox cub recently, you might as well work on this."

The prefect is overjoyed, who is the general Wang? Today's Niangniang's own brother, the king with a different surname who holds military power, is a powerful faction that can compete with the national teacher in the court.

If you really take this path, not to mention being transferred to the state, it is easy to become a Beijing official!

"Thank you for the master's advice, it's just that you don't bother the two masters, the news of this white fox ···········"

Without waiting for the blind old man to speak, the prefect directly took out a palm-sized white jade box and handed it over.

"I got a cherished water spirit elite by chance, I hope the master likes it."

The blind old man looked happy and fumbled to open the box.

An irregular aqua blue quartz, lying quietly in a white jade box.

"Yes, it's the Shui Lu Elite, you have a heart."

The blind man accepted this generous gift with satisfaction.

"Since the prefect is such a generous gift, the old blind man is not easy to hide, but this white fox is not easy to find, and it takes some means."

motioned to the prefect to come over, and the old blind man attached his ear to tell him the secret.

In the end, he told uneasily:

"The prefect must not leak the news, if anyone asks, don't reveal that it was the old blind man who came up with my idea, otherwise this matter will not work."

It seems that he said too much, and the blind old man regretted it a little, hurriedly collected today's hexagram money, declined the prefect's invitation, and insisted on leaving.

After the old blind man left, the prefect sat in the study and thought for a while, and called his confidants.

"Go and inquire about this old blind man, and see which side he is?"

The prefect's face was not very good-looking, and he had some vague guesses about the identity of this blind fortune teller.

"Don't touch him casually, find out where he lives, where he usually goes, who he has met, it's best to be in the last month, be careful, don't leave me behind."

The confidant nodded obediently and asked:

"Master, do you have any other orders?"

The prefect thought about it and felt that the money could not be spent in vain, so he commanded again:

"Go and find me a few hunters quietly, the best kind, my lord I want them to find a fox with a pure white body."

Then, the prefect told the henchman what the old blind man had pointed out.

The old blind man just said that he had to do what he said in order to get his wish.

After telling him several times and confirming that his henchmen remembered it, the prefect let him leave.
