Volume 1 The World Chapter 291 Wei Quanzhi
Time stretches back, about a year ago, a small incident happened in Jian'an City.
There is a fortune teller in Jian'an City, surnamed Wei Ming, who is omniscient, and this name seems to be a skilled fortune teller, but in fact, people in Jian'an City call him Mr. Calculation.
Every time someone asked him to tell a fortune, every time there was no success.
At first, because he was always inaccurate, his business was very bleak, and he almost sold his old house and wandered around the city.
But fortunately, with the high school of a nobleman, he has been relieved of such an embarrassing situation.
Anyway, he couldn't be sure of anything, so the people who came to tell the fortune tell listened to it in the opposite sense, and in this way, they were more accurate than the other fortune tellers in the city.
For a while, his business became more lively, and it was like a market.
It's just that the good times didn't last long, and this fortune teller, who was called Mr. Can't Count, was suddenly found dead at home.
His death has caused many people to be saddened by this, but these people are not saddened by his death, but because there is no longer such a good fortune teller for him.
As for the cause of his death, there were different opinions for a while, and even the government did not give the following in the end, but only hastily closed the case.
Some people say that he drank himself to death because he drank alcohol.
Some people also said that it was because of the sudden recurrence of his illness that he died tragically at home all of a sudden.
Of course, these are just gossip.
According to the examination conducted by the government, this fortune teller was neither because of excessive drinking, nor because of a sudden illness, but because he died extremely normally, but there was a little more strange in the normal.
Because in his corpse, there seems to be no trace of vitality.
In this world, once a person dies, the vitality in his body will slowly begin to dissipate, and this process may take a long time, but it is impossible to dissipate all of them on the day of death.
However, since the possibility of his murder has been ruled out, the government is not prepared to continue the investigation.
After all, in the huge Jian'an City, people die every day, and if everyone needs to carefully investigate the cause of death, even if the servants don't eat or drink, I'm afraid they won't be busy.
It is precisely because of this that this matter has come to an end.
People living in Jian'an City, they have one of the biggest advantages, that is, their memory is not very good.
This is not sure that Mr. has been dead for only two or three days, and then he has been completely forgotten, and as for why he died, no one cares about it anymore.
Time flickered, on the hill west of Jian'an City.
This is a famous mass grave in Jian'an City, and all the corpses that are not buried will basically be pulled here for burial.
Just like this is not a gentleman, he can still leave some family wealth during his lifetime, and he can barely erect a stone monument for himself after death, which is already a big family on this mass grave.
Aunt Ye, the chief of Qianxiangyuan, appeared in front of the tomb of this inaccurate gentleman.
This is not sure that Mr. often went to the Thousand Fragrance Garden to listen to the opera during his lifetime, and he naturally became familiar with each other.
It's just that there is a rule in the Qinglou that you are never allowed to participate in other people's white affairs, let alone go to this kind of place that is full of filth, for fear of bringing bad luck to yourself and ruining your own business.
"Mr. Wei, everyone in this world says that you are not accurate in your calculations, but I don't know if you are accurate or not this time. ”
In this silent mass grave, there must be no one who can answer Aunt Ye's question.
The three or two blackened crows watched in silence, and when they saw that the only living man had turned away, they began to cry and move away from the overgrown place.
The reason why Aunt Ye broke the rules to visit this Wei Quanzhi's tomb was just because of a small piece of news.
On the day Wei Quanzhi died, all the fortune tellers in the city sat together in the Juxian Residence.
It's not because Wei Quanzhi died, and no one has been robbing them for business anymore, but to discuss an important and big matter, as for what was discussed, no one knows except these fortune tellers.
However, within a few days, Aunt Ye heard the gossip from the guys in Juxianju.
The reason why Wei Quanzhi died violently at home was not as rumored in the streets, but because he calculated the hexagram that should not be counted and said something that should not be said, so he was taken by God.
After hearing the news, Aunt Ye's heart couldn't help but become heavy all of a sudden.
Because the day before Wei Quanzhi died, he also came to Qianxiangyuan to listen to the play, during which Aunt Ye didn't mention it so much, and asked him to help calculate how Qianxiangyuan could gain a foothold in Jian'an City.
After all, Jian'an City is the national capital of Da'an, and it is difficult for them to gain a foothold in a new Qinglou.
"It's not that I'm blowing to you, everyone here says that I can't calculate the hexagram accurately, in fact, I'm more accurate than anyone else, anyway, there is nothing to do today, I'll calculate it for you. ”
Wei Quanzhi is thin, probably because his family was poor in his early years, and he couldn't raise him again after he became rich.
The two little mustaches are straight, plus the small eyes with thief eyebrows and rat eyes.
There is a hideous scar on the left side of his face, which is said to be due to the fact that the fortune teller does not allow people to cut it.
With such an appearance, even if he walked on the street in broad daylight, no girl among the people who came and went dared to approach him for half a step.
Therefore, he never married a daughter-in-law until he died, and he did not have a son and a half daughter under his knees, not even an apprentice, and he lived by himself for so many years.
According to what he said, one person is better, just one person is enough to feed the whole family and not go hungry.
is such a person, and he speaks in a weird tone, as if he is an official.
"You have a girl named Yurou here, you have to arrange for someone to send her to Qingshui Town on the edge of the northern forest, and wait in a inn called Half Day Leisure, and in five months, the noble person will arrive in the daytime thunder. ”
"Yo, look at what you say, what noble person can there be in that place where birds don't?"
The mothers in the Thousand Fragrance Garden couldn't help but laugh when they heard his words.
As for the noble man he spoke of, there was not a single one of those sitting there who believed it except him.
As we all know, in addition to the abundance of Qinglin melons, there is nothing at all, it is such a poor and remote place, what can that kind of place help the nobles of Qianxiangyuan?
What's more, this Wei Quanzhi is not known as Mr. Accurate.
So even Aunt Ye didn't care about it at all, she just thought that it was just a joke that Wei Quanzhi said, and if she heard it, she wouldn't take it seriously.
However, the matter of the fortune teller's gathering in Jian'an City was spread by the man who gathered in Xianju.
I thought it was just a joke, but it suddenly caught Aunt Ye's attention, and even she had an instinctive intuition that Wei Quanzhi's death was because of this seemingly joking sentence.
Sure enough, there was really such a girl named Yurou in their Thousand Fragrance Garden.
The suspicions of the crowd converged to a point, and Aunt Ye had the idea that it was better to try than not to try, so she arranged for Mother Zhang to take Qingyurou to the half-day inn that Wei Quanzhi said.
"Ping'er, what are you doing in a hurry to call the old man here?"
An old woman with gray hair, with the support of the maid, slowly walked into the courtyard where the fire was burning, and she was Aunt Ye.
This kind of place for cooking is rarely visited by her on weekdays, after all, she still has six mothers under her hands, and there are some things that she doesn't need to worry about at all.
As for the Ping'er called by Aunt Ye, it is Zhang's mother, and her natal name is Zhang Pingping.
"Aunt Ye, look at this jar. ”
Zhang's mother did not get up to salute, but still fanned the fan of the fire, carefully serving the heat in the furnace.
After all, this Bidan tea is very hypocritical, if the temperature of the brewed tea is low, it will be drunk without the unique fragrance of Bidan tea, and the taste will drop by three percent at once.
If the temperature of the tea is high, it will brew a bitterness, which is naturally not good.
However, Aunt Ye didn't care about this, she just called the maid to bring her the jar on the table.
She has high hopes for Zhang's mother, and it can even be said that she is trained according to her successor, otherwise she would not have arranged for her to accompany Qing Yurou to the half-day inn.
As soon as Aunt Ye saw the two big characters on the jar, she immediately understood why Mother Zhang would come to fan the fire in person.
After all, how to brew Bidan tea better, she taught Zhang's mother at the beginning, this kind of valuable thing, but it has to be served carefully, and there is no room for sloppiness.
"What kind of guests are there in the garden today?"
Anyone who can drink Bidan tea is a member of the royal family, and his identity is naturally not ordinary.
However, there are also high and low members of the royal family, and the Emperor of Heaven and the royal family are one heaven and one earth, so it depends on the identity of the other party.
"It's the one I mentioned to you yesterday, the noble man in Qingshui Town who has been idle for half a day. ”
"Then have you inquired about which noble family he is?"
Before this, when Zhang's mother just returned to Jian'an City, she truthfully reported Zhang Haomin's situation.
It's just that according to later learning, Zhang Haomin is not the prince of Da'an, and they once felt very distressed because of this, and they took in a good seedling who can become an Oiran in vain.
However, it didn't take long for Qianxiangyuan's business to become hot.
This made them see hope again, thinking that after sending Zhang Haomin a light rain and softness, Qianxiangyuan would become better.
It is precisely because of this that after seeing Zhang Haomin again, Zhang's mother was so enthusiastic, and even hurried back to Qianxiangyuan as soon as she left Juxianju and reported the matter to Aunt Ye.
"I don't know, this noble man can't say much. ”
After hearing Zhang's mother's words, Aunt Ye's heart immediately became a little heavy.
I don't know what Zhang Haomin's identity is, so they don't know how capable Zhang Haomin is, even if they want to honor Zhang Haomin again, they don't know where to start.
Moreover, judging from Zhang's mother's previous description, Zhang Haomin is not very old.
He is not very old, but he is still very noble, which inevitably makes Aunt Ye wonder which family he is.
Just when Aunt Ye wanted to find a way to get Zhang's mother to speak, she remembered something.
Because the Bidan tea is exclusively supplied by the royal family, the jars containing the Bidan tea are all marked to which house they are supplied, and as long as the mark is found, Zhang Haomin's identity can be inferred.
"The Prince's Mansion?"
After Aunt Ye saw the special sign under the jar, she couldn't help but feel even more depressed.
When Zhang's mother came back from Qingshui Town, she said that Zhang Haomin was holding the Canghai Rising Sun Tooth card, and deduced that his identity should be Prince Da'an, but Aunt Ye was very happy.
As a result, Nanli's Canghai Rising Sun Tooth card was stolen at this time.
And Zhang's mother also went to take a special look at Nan Li to make sure that he was not the Zhang Haomin that Zhang's mother had seen in half a day.
I thought that this noble man had nothing to do with the Prince's Mansion, but now that I saw the mark on this Bidan tea jar, how could I not let Aunt Ye's heart be at a loss?
Is this the Prince of Da'an? She has to go and see for herself.
"You have to be careful with this noble man. ”
"Ping'er knows. ”
With the support of the maid, Aunt Ye hurried out of the burning courtyard and came to the front hall.
Although there was no Mother Zhang by her side to point out who Zhang Haomin was for her, looking at the table in front of the guests, Aunt Ye could also find out Zhang Haomin.
"This is not the crown prince either. ”
Zhang Haomin lay on his back on the rattan chair, without the slightest aristocratic temperament.
This made Aunt Ye's heart hesitate, the last time the Canghai Rising Sun Tooth card in the prince's mansion was stolen, it had a certain relationship with this nobleman, so what about the Bidan tea this time?
Could it be that the noble person calculated by Wei Quanzhi is not a dignitary, but a gentleman on the beam?
And at this moment, the child and mother ring on Zhang Haomin's hand attracted Aunt Ye's attention, and there were five or six large and small, especially the wrench on the thumb of his right hand, which was simply terrifying.
Since he can have such a precious thing on his body, and he is sitting here in the open, I am afraid that he does not look like a thief.
Aunt Ye is also a little old in this industry, and she has always been very accurate in looking at people, but this time she is not sure what Zhang Haomin's identity is, even if she speculates, she doesn't know how to speculate.
"But you invited Young Master Chen, and said that Miss Rongrong was about to sing. ”
"Wow. ”
Miss Rongrong is the top brand of Qianxiangyuan and one of the three major Oiran in Jian'an City.
And that Young Master Chen is the admirer of Miss Rongrong, and he is a child of the royal family, so he is naturally extremely generous.
The reason why I wanted to invite him was to use him to test Zhang Haomin's identity.
"Childe, the slave family has made tea for you. ”
At this time, Zhang's mother had already made the tea, so she hurriedly brought it to Zhang Haomin.
Of course, she didn't dare to take that jar of Bidan tea privately, and at the same time brought it back to Zhang Haomin and carefully handed it to Zhang Haomin.
"Brewed so quickly?"
As soon as he heard Zhang's mother's voice, Zhang Haomin hurriedly sat down on the rattan chair.
He hadn't relaxed enough, and the Bidan tea had already been brewed, which caught him off guard.
Zhang Haomin took the jar of Bidan tea from Zhang's mother's hand, but did not put it into the finger of the mother, but directly put it on the table in front of him, and wiped the shoes on his feet.
Seeing his posture like this, Zhang's mother couldn't help but feel resentful when she looked at Zhang Haomin's eyes.
She worked so hard to make tea for Zhang Haomin, and a layer of fine sweat was roasted by the fire on her forehead, and even the aroma on her body was almost inaudible.
As a result, Zhang Haomin still refused like this, how could she not feel aggrieved?
"Childe, do you hate the slave family so much?"
"Well, if you sit there well, then I still like it. ”
"It turns out that Childe likes that kind of girl with a small jasper. ”
Zhang Haomin couldn't stand Zhang's mother's ridicule, because he couldn't stand the upper hand at all.
After seeing Zhang Haomin's deflated face, Zhang's mother's heart seemed to ease a lot, and even her face regained a spring-like smile, which can be described as amorous.
"Yurou, is she okay? I haven't seen her for many days, which makes people panic. ”
Mother Zhang gently patted her chest with her jade hand, showing a very worrying look, which made people feel pity.
After all, she has lived and eaten with Qingyurou for three or four months, and she will inevitably think of her appearance when she was young.
came and went, and regarded Qingyurou as half of her daughter.
It is precisely because of this that when she was at the half-day inn, she refused to accept Zhang Haomin.
After all, in her heart, light rain and softness are priceless, and they can't be bought and sold by a few eternal stones at all, so she asked Zhang Haomin those two questions more at that time.
"She, she's so much better than me now. ”
Light rain and gentleness is the real viewer of the free view, and others must listen to her honestly.
I don't know what kind of ecstasy she took, so that Qiu Gongshou completely defected to her gang, even if it was the later Xiaoyao, which made Zhang Haomin deflated.
There are so many people who are spoiled in the view of freedom, and naturally they are much better than him.
"She has suffered a lot since she was a child, and now she can meet a noble person like Childe, which is also a blessing in her life, and Childe must not let her down. ”
Hearing Zhang's mother say this, Zhang Haomin's heart was very uncomfortable.
Qingyurou met him, he really didn't know if this was Qingyurou's blessing or her disaster, as for living up to it, he was not qualified to say anything.
From the perspective of light rain and softness, he can be said to have lived up to the end.
But in terms of the identity of Qingyurou's brother, he did not live up to Qingyurou.
"Don't think too much about it, I'm just her brother. ”
"Brother?"
After hearing Zhang Haomin's words, Zhang's mother couldn't help but be stunned for a second or two.
She always thought that Zhang Haomin ransomed Qingyurou in order to marry her, although Qingyurou's background may not be very good, but she is still a yellow flower girl after all, and she has not lost her virginity.
But when Zhang Haomin said this, it didn't seem to be what she thought.
Looking at the doubts in Zhang's mother's eyebrows, Zhang Haomin took a deep breath, thought about it in his heart, and said.
"I saw that she was very pitiful, so I ransomed her out to give her back her freedom, and also wanted to help her return home. ”
This matter is not a secret, after all, Zhang Haomin said it at the beginning.
Moreover, from the information that Yuan Jiu sent back later, it can be seen that Zhang Haomin really sent Qingyurou back to his home as he said, but this home is no longer there.
But her family was gone, so I kept her with me and made her my sister. ”
"Does she really agree to be Childe's sister?"
"How can this be fake?"
Zhang Haomin took a sip of the brewed Bidan tea, and glanced at Zhang's mother angrily.
However, Zhang's mother is not a master to be messed with, and then leaned towards Zhang Haomin, after all, there is not much distance between the two of them.
"Well, if you do that again, then I'll be gone. ”
"Hmph, Childe is really stingy. ”
If this is a change of people, it is almost like a pole set, and it is naturally something that cannot be sought.
But with Zhang Haomin, not only did he not let her get close for half a minute, but he even scared people by walking at every turn.
If it weren't for the fact that she saw a small tent before, she would have been a little skeptical that Zhang Haomin was not in good health, or that there was something wrong with her sexual orientation, after all, there are not a few nobles with a good male style.
"Where is she now? If she is in Jian'an City, the slave family can still go to see her. ”
"She is not in Jian'an City, but in the water. ”
Zhang's mother wanted to see a light rain and softness, but at the same time, she was also knocking on Zhang Haomin's identity.
This Water City is the territory of the Shenghua Sect, and if the light rain stays in the Water City, I am afraid that it will have something to do with the Shenghua Sect to some extent.
In this way, Zhang's mother seems to have found a breakthrough in Zhang Haomin's identity, since it has something to do with Shenghua Sect, then Zhang Haomin came to Jian'an City this time, and nine times out of ten he participated in the sect competition.
As long as you send someone to inquire about the people who came to participate in the sect competition from the Shenghua Sect, you will soon be able to find Zhang Haomin's identity.
"Oh, that's a pity. ”
Mother Zhang glanced at Aunt Ye, who was hiding not far away, and secretly made a gesture to her.
Seeing that Aunt Ye received her message, she hurriedly said to Zhang Haomin with a smile.
"The slave family has been absent for a while, please forgive me. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Zhang Haomin did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with this, but was very happy about Zhang's mother's departure.
He sat with Zhang's mother, feeling more or less awkward in his heart, for fear that Zhang's mother would take the opportunity to rub his oil, so it was easier to leave.
Zhang's mother seemed to be used to Zhang Haomin's appearance, and Meimu rolled her eyes silently.
When she was young, there were many sons who pursued her, not to mention lining up to see her, at least a lot of eternal stones had to invite her to appear.
Although she is a little older now, she is no worse than these young girls.
Even like an aged wine, with the slow deposition of time, there is also a unique taste on her body that time has given, which is far beyond the reach of young girls.
is such a charming stunner, who was rejected again and again in front of Zhang Haomin, and he was inevitably unhappy.
"What kind of news did you hear?"
As soon as Aunt Ye received the news from Zhang's mother, she couldn't help but be very happy.
For the six mothers under her command, she can be said to be the most assured and even confident in Zhang's mother.
"He seems to be a disciple of the Shenghua Sect who came to participate in the sect's big competition. ”
"That's what he told you?"
Aunt Ye obviously didn't believe it, an ordinary sect disciple could drink Bidan tea?
Moreover, in the entire Shenghua Sect, only the prince of the Northern King is the royal family of Da'an, and there is no other possibility.
However, the jar of Nabidan tea is not the Zhenbei Wangfu, so most of it has nothing to do with the prince of the North Wang, so this matter is very strange.
is not a member of the royal family, but you can drink Bitan tea, and it is also an exclusive offering in the prince's mansion.
Could it be that this Bidan tea was really stolen by him from the Prince's Mansion?
"I asked him where Yurou was, and he said that it was in the water, which was the place of the Shenghua Sect. ”
"Shenghua Sect? Isn't the first place in this sect competition a person from Shenghua Sect? ”
