"I said, this Daoist, do you know how to do business?"

Lin Luoxiao took a deep breath, slapped the three sticks on the table with a "snap", and swept the stalls from left to right with his hands neatly lined up.

Signed, signed, signed.

They correspond to Mrs. Lin, Lin Luoxiao and Lin Luosheng.

Lin Luoxiao took another deep breath, still frantically testing on the edge of the rampage.

Lin Luosheng looked at a few signs and was quite speechless.

The mages and Taoists who set up fortune tellers in the festival generally draw out the upper and lower signs separately and hide them. When people come to ask for a lot, they don't easily draw a particularly good or a bad one.

She had heard people say that these mages or Taoist priests were used by them to make a lot of money.

Lin Luosheng suspected, didn't the tattered Taoist priest in front of him think that the Prime Minister was rich and wanted to make a false accusation?

Not only did she think so, but Mrs. Lin also thought so.

Just now, she also decided to bring her two daughters to ask for a sign after careful consideration, because there were too many unlucky things that happened in the past two days, so she wanted to ask for a good luck, but she didn't think about it.

And she actually doesn't believe in anything like fortune-telling, without him, generally the real ability of the mage and Taoist priest are either in the temple, or they are all over the world for the family to practice everywhere, most of the fortune-telling people who set up a stall on the street are half-hangers or directly liars.

In other words, the main purpose of such people is to make money.

Normally, Mrs. Lin would not be emotionally fluctuating because of such a trivial matter, but at the moment, these three signs are really ...... It's a bit of a frustration.

Forget one bad sign, three is too much.

Mrs. Lin was a little angry, and she also knew that this was all about asking for money.

It's a good Shangyuan Festival, but you can't let a few sticks spoil your mood. So he pondered it for a while and asked, "Dao Chief, can you take back this sign?" took out the silver coin from his sleeve and gently placed it on the table.

The tattered Taoist priest showed a mouthful of scattered yellow teeth at her, nodded, accepted the money, put the three sticks back in the holder, shook them well, and handed them to her.

Lin Luoxiao said disdainfully: "Snort, it's not just asking for money." ”

Lin Luosheng shook his head.

The tattered Taoist priest smirked twice and said, "The dish is used to every time you smoke it (it's the same for a few more times)." "Because of the leaky teeth, it was a little difficult to hear what he was saying.

Mrs. Lin shook out a stick.

Before she could reach out to take it, Lin Luoxiao took the lead in picking it up: middle and lower.

There was another "snap", Lin Luoxiao slapped the table with his hand, and the faint candlelight on the table flickered and was not extinguished.

"Stinky Taoist, so insatiable! Do you want Miss Ben to teach you how to be a man!" Lin Luoxiao rubbed his hands, looked at the lottery holder again, and picked it up, "I'm afraid you only have the next sign and the middle sign here, right?"

The Taoist priest looked at her with a smile and did not panic at all.

Lin Luosheng frowned, pulled his sister and whispered, "Xiao'er, let's go, don't worry about him." ”

Mrs. Lin looked at the attendant not far away and thought about it, although she also felt that this Taoist priest was a little hateful, but she couldn't openly argue with it, after all, this was the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it was the Prime Minister's Mansion that was lost. Moreover, this lottery holder can be regarded as a guy who eats for him, as long as he knows the doorway, he doesn't have to debunk it, otherwise this Taoist priest will not be easy to do in the future.

So he also agreed with Lin Luosheng and said, "Xiao'er, let's go." ”

But Lin Luoxiao couldn't swallow this breath, and before Lin Luosheng and Mrs. Lin could react, they saw that the red lacquer had almost fallen off the sticks in her jade-white hand, and all the sticks ran out and fell on the table with a "click" sound.

Lin Luoxiao looked at the Taoist priest, and the corners of her lips curved into a provocative arc.

The tattered Taoist priest rubbed his hands, still smiling.

Lin Luosheng frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

The same goes for Mrs. Lin.

"Xiao'er, don't mess around, why don't you hurry up and put it back for the Dao Chief. Mrs. Lin drank.

She just glanced at the lots on the table, and they were all signed on the top.

Only she drew the lottery, and the lottery drawn by Xiao'er Sheng'er just now was not in the lottery.

Lin Luoxiao didn't care what she said, stretched out her hand to spread out all the lots, and said loudly to the Taoist priest with her eyebrows: "What about the two lotteries that my sister and I drew just now, where did you hide them?"

"Xiao'er!" Mrs. Lin pulled her over, "You also know that you can't do anything to ask for a signature, so you just know it, why be aggressive!"

"There is no Tibetan circle in the burning road. (Poor Dao doesn't have a hidden sign)" The tattered Taoist priest smiled, put the sticks back into the stick, and said while collecting the stall, "Wait for you in the Burning Dao Dishes, and I will come back in the meeting." (Poor Dao is waiting for you here, a few will come back)

"What are you talking about!" Lin Luoxiao took Mrs. Lin's hand and sneered, "If you can't speak, don't talk about it, you have such a business?"

"Okay Xiao'er, don't make trouble!" Mrs. Lin grabbed her, "Let's go." ”

This Taoist priest is a little weird, so it's better not to provoke it.

Lin Luo snorted angrily, and finally responded to Mrs. Lin.

The trio left the booth.

When he arrived at the gate, Lin Luosheng looked up at the plaque, and then looked back at the stall in the shadow of the stone steps, the tattered Taoist priest was busy cleaning up the stall, and the candle that was about to burn out had been extinguished.

She said in her heart, this Taoist priest is really strange, isn't it good to light an oil lamp, what kind of candle to light?

"Sheng'er, don't look at it, let's go. Mrs. Lin urged.

"That's it. She lifted the hem of her skirt.

Lin Luoxiao was still angry and said dissatisfied: "Mother, that Taoist priest is a liar, why are you pulling me away?"

"Whether he's a liar or not, you shouldn't argue with him. Mrs. Lin said in a gentle voice, "You are the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, there is no need to surrender your identity." ”

"What, sister, look at my mother, it's really embarrassing for us to be in the face of the Dingguo Mansion. ”

"You girl!"

"Okay, mother, Xiao'er is just angry, and then talk about the Taoist. Lin Luosheng paused and said thoughtfully, "My daughter also thinks he is a liar, so he should teach him a good lesson." ”

Mrs. Lin frowned, looked at the brightly lit rooms in front of her, and said in a quiet tone: "Mother is a little worried. ”

"Are you worried about those signs?" asked Lin Luosheng.

Mrs. Lin stopped, didn't speak for a long time, and didn't know if she was worried about the signing just now or something else.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Lin Luoxiao took her hand and chirped, "That stinky Taoist priest is crazy, do you believe his words?"

Lin Luoxiao turned her head and asked Lin Luosheng: "Sister, what did the stinky Taoist priest say?" His teeth leaked when he spoke, and I didn't understand. ”

Lin Luosheng touched his chin: "I don't know." ”

"You two. Mrs. Lin was helpless and taught, "Don't ridicule others, don't show off your strengths." Have you forgotten what you usually teach?"

Lin Luosheng hurriedly admitted his mistake in a low voice.

Lin Luoxiao glanced back and forth with a weak heart.

"Okay, let's go and say hello to your dad first, then eat, and I'll have something for you later. ”

The two of them nodded busily.

After the three of them entered the house, the people had already begun to make vegetables.

When he walked into the main hall, Lin Xiang was sitting on the main seat, holding his head with his hands and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Lin Luosheng and Lin Luoxiao obediently stepped forward and stood beside him, and they didn't dare to disturb.

Lin Luosheng knew that her father had always been an unsmiling person, although he had the elegance of a civil official, but more of a majesty as the head of a hundred officials. So although she respects him, she is actually a little afraid of him.

Lin Luoxiao is naturally afraid of her father, although she usually babbles, she definitely doesn't dare to make a fuss in front of her father.

Although Lin is relatively strict with them, he is really good.

Lin Xiang has no children under his knees, only Lin Luosheng and Lin Luoxiao's two daughters.

Lin Luosheng's mother is Lin Xiang's wife, and she died in childbirth when she gave birth to Lin Luosheng. Later, Lin Xiang married his wife's sister as a step-family and gave birth to Lin Luoxiao.

Since Lin Luoxiao was born, there has been nothing to do.

So the great prime minister's mansion naturally has no sons-in-law to inherit the incense.

But there are no sons-in-law, ministers or ordinary people or even the emperor on the dragon chair, no one has ever seen him anxious about this, and every day he still goes to the court when he should go to the court, and the inspection that should be inspected is extremely calm.

His indifferent attitude to his heirs made the emperor have a small calculation. One day at the banquet, the emperor personally acted as a matchmaker, intending to marry his cousin Princess Chengyue to him as his wife.

But was politely refused.

He even tried to reward him with a few beautiful concubines, but he didn't succeed.

The emperor thought about it, he was an emperor, and it seemed to be a shameless thing to be swept away like this. That...... If you can't do Lao Tzu's family business, then the cub's family business will always be done, right?

So, by a holy decree, Lin Luosheng, who was less than seven years old, became the prince's fiancée.

Speaking of which, there have been some rumors about Lin Xiang in Jinling, saying that he is afraid of guilt, but the current Mrs. Lin had an accident in the early years and is not regenerating, and she is jealous by nature, so Lin Xiang has not taken a concubine over the years, and it can be called a clear stream among the civil and military officials who are generally full of wives and concubines.

But no matter how clear this stream is, it is a bloody fact that there is no son-in-law.

A rumor is a rumor because it doesn't hold water.

Lin Luosheng didn't believe it.

Although Mrs. Lin came from the Dingguo Mansion, which was full of loyalty and martyrs, she was an out-and-out lady, who would only teach her husband and children, and usually respected her father like a guest, and never separated from the word "gentle" everywhere.

In short, compared to Lin Luosheng, who is not really gentle, Mrs. Lin is the real lady.

Therefore, it is a joke to say "fear of guilt".

But she didn't know why her father refused to take a concubine but didn't have a son-in-law.

After a while, Lin Xiangcai slowly opened his eyes, rubbed his somewhat swollen forehead, and said, "You two should go eat first." ”

Lin Luosheng and Lin Luoxiao looked at each other, originally thinking that their father would first ask why the two of them came back so late.

"You eat first, and then you talk about the rest. Lin Xiang straightened up and looked at them again, "It's okay." ”

Lin Luosheng blinked, how did his father feel extraordinarily ...... today Gentle?

She remembered that her father rarely showed her a warm side, especially in the past, although he was meticulous about all aspects of her life, but it always made people feel a little indifferent. Like ...... Just treat her as a responsibility.

Lin Luosheng blinked again, his long eyelashes fanned, and fell into Lin Xiang's eyes, making him a little trance-like.

He frowned suddenly, his tone changed back to his original sternness, and said to the two sisters in front of him, "Not going yet?"

The change of face became too fast to catch people off guard, Lin Luosheng was stunned, but Lin Luoxiao reacted first, and grabbed her and trotted out of the main hall.

Once again, the etiquette was thrown out of the clouds.
